Vega Architecture & HBM2
Although we've detailed Vega's architecture before, it's worthwhile to provide it here again as a refresher. Vega represents a new GPU generation for AMD, with a reported 200+ changes and improvements separating it from the GCCN implementation that came before.
HBM2: A Scalable Memory Architecture
Both AMD and Nvidia are working on ways to reduce host processor overhead, maximize throughput to feed the GPU, and circumvent existing bottlenecks—particularly those that surface in the face of large datasets. Getting more capacity closer to the GPU in a fairly cost-effective manner seemed to be the Radeon Pro SSG's purpose. And Vega appears to take this mission a step further with a more flexible memory hierarchy.
Vega makes use of HBM2, of course, which AMD officially introduced more than six months ago. At the time, we also discovered that the company calls this pool of on-package memory—previously the frame buffer—a high-bandwidth cache. HBM2 equals high-bandwidth cache in AMD parlance. Got it?
According to Joe Macri, corporate fellow and product CTO, the vision for HBM was to have it be the highest-performance memory closest to the GPU. However, he also wanted system memory and storage available to the graphics processor, as well. In the context of this broader memory hierarchy, sure, it's logical to envision HBM2 as a high-bandwidth cache relative to slower technologies. But for the sake of disambiguation, we're going to continue calling HBM2 what it is.
After all, HBM2 represents a significant step forward already. An up-to-8x capacity increase per vertical stack, compared to first-gen HBM, addresses questions enthusiasts raised about Radeon R9 Fury X's longevity. Further, a doubling of bandwidth per pin significantly increases potential throughput.
That's the change we expect to have the largest impact on gamers as far as Vega's memory subsystem goes. However, AMD also gives the high-bandwidth cache controller (no longer just the memory controller) access to a massive 512TB virtual address space for large datasets.
When asked about how the Vega architecture's broader memory hierarchy might be utilized, AMD suggested that Vega can move memory pages in fine-grained fashion using multiple, programmable techniques. It can receive a request to bring in data and then retrieve it through a DMA transfer while the GPU switches to another thread and continues work without stalling. The controller can go get data on demand but also bring it back in predictively. Information in the HBM can be replicated in system memory like an inclusive cache, or the HBCC can maintain just one copy to save space. All of this is managed in hardware, so it should be quick and low-overhead.
As it pertains to Radeon RX Vega 64, AMD exposes an option in its driver called HBCC Memory Segment to allocate system memory to Vega's cache controller. The corresponding slider determines how much memory gets set aside. Per AMD, once the HBCC is operating, it'll monitor the utilization of bits in local GPU memory and, if needed, move unused information to the slower system memory space, effectively increasing the capacity available to the GPU. Given Vega 64's 8GB of HBM2, this option is fairly forward-looking; there aren't many games that need more. However, AMD has shown off content creation workloads that truly need access to additional memory. Of course, the one recommendation is to have plenty of system RAM available before using the HBCC. If you have 16GB installed, you don't want to lose 4GB or 8GB to the HBCC.
AMD suggested that Unigine Heaven might reflect some influence from enabling the HBCC memory segment, so we ran the benchmark at 4K using 8x anti-aliasing and Ultra quality. With the HBCC disabled, we measured 25.7 FPS. Allocating an extra 4GB of DDR4 at 3200 MT/s nudged that result up to 26.9 FPS.
New Programmable Geometry Pipeline
The Hawaii GPU (Radeon R9 290X) incorporated some notable improvements over Tahiti (Radeon HD 7970), one of which was a more robust front end with four geometry engines instead of two. The more recent Fiji GPU (Radeon R9 Fury X) maintained that same four-way Shader Engine configuration. However, because it also rolled in goodness from AMD's third-gen GCN architecture, there were some gains in tessellation throughput, as well. More recently, the Ellesmere GPU (Radeon RX 480/580) implemented a handful of techniques for getting more from a four-engine arrangement, including a filtering algorithm/primitive discard accelerator.
AMD promised us last year that Vega's peak geometry throughput would be 11 polygons per clock, up from the preceding generations' four, yielding up to a 2.75x boost. That specification came from adding a new primitive shader stage to the geometry pipeline. Instead of using the fixed-function hardware, this primitive shader uses the shader array for its work.
More recently, AMD published a Vega architecture whitepaper that revised the geometry pipeline's peak rate to more than 17 primitives per clock.
AMD describes this as having similar access as a compute shader for processing geometry in that it's lightweight and programmable, with the ability to discard primitives at a high rate. The primitive shader's functionality includes a lot of what the DirectX vertex, hull, domain, and geometry shader stages can do but is more flexible about the context it carries and the order in which work is completed.
The front-end also benefits from an improved workgroup distributor, responsible for load balancing across programmable hardware. AMD says this comes from its collaboration with efficiency-sensitive console developers, and that effort will now benefit PC gamers, as well.
Vega's Next-Generation Compute Unit (NCU)
Using its many Pascal-based GPUs, Nvidia is surgical about segmentation. The largest and most expensive GP100 processor offers a peak FP32 rate of 10.6 TFLOPS (if you use the peak GPU Boost frequency). A 1:2 ratio of FP64 cores yields a double-precision rate of 5.3 TFLOPS, and support for half-precision compute/storage enables up to 21.2 TFLOPS. The more consumer-oriented GP102 and GP104 processors naturally offer full-performance FP32 but deliberately handicap FP64 and FP16 rates so you can't get away with using cheaper cards for scientific or training datasets.
Conversely, AMD looks like it's trying to give more to everyone. The Compute Unit building block, with 64 IEEE 754-2008-compliant shaders, persists, only now it's being called an NCU, or Next-Generation Compute Unit, reflecting support for new data types. Of course, with 64 shaders and a peak of two floating-point operations/cycle, you end up with a maximum of 128 32-bit ops per clock. Using packed FP16 math, that number turns into 256 16-bit ops per clock. AMD even claimed it can do up to 512 eight-bit ops per clock. Of course, leveraging this functionality requires developer support, so it's not going to manifest as a clear benefit at launch.
Double-precision is a different animal—AMD doesn't seem to have a problem admitting it sets FP64 rates based on target market, and we confirmed that Vega 10's FP64 rate is 1:16 of its single-precision specification. This is another gaming-specific architecture; it's not going to live in the HPC space at all.
The impetus for Vega 10's flexibility may have very well come from the console world. After all, we know Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro can use half-precision to achieve up to 8.4 TFLOPS—twice its performance using 32-bit operations. Or perhaps it started with AMD's aspirations in the machine learning space, resulting in products like the upcoming Radeon Instinct MI25 that aim to chip away at Nvidia's market share. Either way, consoles, datacenters, and PC gamers alike stand to benefit.
AMD claimed the NCUs are optimized for higher clock rates, which isn't particularly surprising, but it also implemented larger instruction buffers to keep the compute units busy.
Next-Generation Pixel Engine: Waiting For A Miracle
Let's next take a look at AMD's so-called Draw Stream Binning Rasterizer, which is supposed to be a supplement to the traditional ROP, and as such, should help improve performance while simultaneously lowering power consumption.
At a high level, an on-chip bin cache allows the rasterizer to fetch data only once for overlapping primitives, and then shade pixels only once by culling pixels not visible in the final scene.
AMD fundamentally changes its cache hierarchy by making the render back-ends clients of the L2.
In architectures before Vega, AMD had non-coherent pixel and texture memory access, meaning there was no shared point for each pipeline stage to synchronize. In the example of texture baking, where a scene is rendered to a texture for reuse later and then accessed again through the shader array, data has to be pulled all the way back through off-die memory. Now, the architecture has coherent access, which AMD said particularly boosts performance in applications that use deferred shading.
Spoiler alert: AMD's launch driver doesn't unleash the massive performance improvements we were hoping for after reviewing the Frontier Edition board. We'd remind you, though, that Fiji and Hawaii, just like good wine (especially good red wine), took some time to achieve their full potential.

Better than: Watching the final fourth quarter of the 2011-2012 NBA season.
For a crowd full of Thunder fans, Ab-Soul provided a much-needed distraction last night during his first New York headlining gig. In subtle contrast to the mighty LeBron James, Ab debuted alone, neglecting to bring along any of his more established Black Hippy companions (Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q). He played a riveting set, fully living up to the expectations of a hype crowd whose energy appeared unaffected by the stifling heat.
Game five of the NBA finals screened onstage between opening sets from Mike Jaggerr and Kris Kasanova (both of whom are better rappers than their clunky monikers suggest), and a surprise appearance from Brooklyn wunderkind Joey Badass, who appeared onstage with a multicultural crew of teenagers to perform cuts from his newest mixtape 1999. Joey, perhaps a fan of Heat-style basketball, was a little too comfortable sharing the spotlight, even retreating into the background for the last couple of songs as his posse gleefully commanded the stage. Though it's understandable and even gracious to want to share a stage with your friends, it left the crowd a bit confused, and chants for Ab-Soul rebounded as soon as Joey and company cleared out.
Ab entered to the first song off of his recent album Control System, wearing a Jesus-fish shirt with his name in the middle, tortoiseshell sunglasses and an INDICA hat (he resembled some strange hybrid of Eazy E and Allen Ginsberg). This look is fitting, given the TDE crew member's persona: he combines whipfire gangsterisms with poetic meditations on freedom, propaganda, and political doublespeak. Before he began to rap in earnest, he led an insistent chant of "Niggas Don't Think," presumably for the same general purpose that Shepard Fairey's OBEY print was originally made ubiquitous.
Ab's songs, despite the depth of their subject matter, are eminently chant-worthy, and he was able to hold sway over the crowd with relative ease, even while performing more downtempo cuts like "Bohemian Grove." One of the most interesting things about Ab-Soul is the way he works serious topics into even the most innocent-seeming songs: "Grove" is ostensibly an empty song "for the ladies," but a provocative chorus and lyrics like "no religion, I'm just so explicit, I coexist in places you would never no existed" provide contours that lesser artists might neglect.
Pumping his arms up and down like a madcap train conductor, Ab asked the crowd's permission to "get into some revolutionary shit" which heralded the arrival of his most fully realized song. On "Terrorist Threats," he reflects on "being a typical black boy in the good old USA" and quips that "before I pushed rhymes like weight, I used to want to play for the NBA," neatly summing up the three stereotypical options of poor black people. These observations, though both funny and nuanced, arrive couched in an incredibly catchy, varied flow—an entire crowd will gleefully chant along with something as radical as "Dear Barack,I know you just a puppet but I'm giving you props," as long as the first clause has some snap to it.
Near the end of his set, Ab-Soul, who was bullied as a kid for having dark, chapped lips as a result of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, had an audience member feel his mouth. It was simultaneously awkward, tender, and inspiring, as he calmly asked her, "Are they crusty? Are they ashy?" and she responded in the negative. He then ripped into his song "Black Lip Bastard," the remix to which is a posse cut which features the entirety of the Black Hippy crew. But Ab, despite comparing himself to John Lennon, got by just fine without the help of his friends, showing New York rap fans a tough brand of skillful self-reliance that they vocally supported, even as the announcement of the Heat's victory sent them dashing for the exits.
Critical bias: As there's no possible way you inferred this, I'll admit—I was rooting for the Thunder in the Finals. The crowd was surveyed, and the huge majority of them were also supporting the Thunder—the Heat received nearly all boos.
Overheard: "It's hot as camel pussy up in here" was probably both the grossest and funniest complaint about the heat. There were no great quotable complaints about the Heat, just a lot of groans when LeBron made impossible shots.

The Blaine House – Augusta, ME
Fulfilling a campaign promise to lead on action, Governor Janet Mills's administration approved two solar projects to go up at the historic Blaine House property.
Through a competitive bid process, ReVision Energy earned the privilege of designing and installing the two solar projects, which consist of a dual-axis tracking array from Vermont-based AllEarth Renewables, as well as a rooftop installation on a nearby garage (no panels will be installed on the roof of the historic building). The two solar installations will meet roughly 25% of the Blaine House's annual electricity demand and will reduce carbon emissions by roughly 26,000 lbs. per year.
We're honored to see Maine's leadership change in such a significant way around clean energy… Several years ago as an April Fools' prank, we jested that solar at the Blaine House might be possible, and now, thanks to Janet Mills's administration, it is a reality!

Revenue Growth Occurs as Company Greatly Reduces Corporate Debt
Los Angeles, California–(Newsfile Corp. – May 20, 2019) – NUGL Inc. (OTC Pink: NUGL)(the "Company"), a technology and multimedia platform for the cannabis industry, is pleased to announce it has posted consecutive increased quarterly earnings that reflect an over 200% increase in revenue compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
NUGL's quarterly financials continue to exceed the expectations of management. First-quarter revenues increased by 33% and were generated from multiple sources and revenue streams, like physical stores and multiple online channels, where consumers can use secure methods of payment. Online revenue has been a great success for NUGL so it's no surprise other companies are following in their footsteps and choosing to learn more about online payment software, making it easier for various audiences to access their products and purchase them online to have them delivered right to their front door. NUGL generated revenue from all three publications, NUGL Magazine, Garden and Greenhouse and Professional Marijuana Grower in both digital and print formats.
Notably, NUGL also converted over 50% of its debt to stock during Q1, further strengthening the bottom line. This conversion of over $500k in debt at a minimal discount to market lowered the overall company debt by more than 50%. This leaves NUGL with a much stronger balance sheet in Q1 and provides NUGL shareholders with less risk of dilution in the event of future stock conversions.
"The financials are strong and sales growth is accelerating. The software is the foundation of our business and supports NUGL's diversification into multimedia platforms. All three publications have positive cash flow and are complimentary to the software's marketing spend, increasing our return on investment," stated Tom Bouse, CFO, NUGL Inc.
NUGL has built the only one-stop-shop solution for cannabis businesses to grow and thrive. At present, NUGL believes there is nothing in the industry that provides both digital and print media, from companies like Printivity, while integrating networking capabilities through software.
NUGL also launched NUGL Media Group, which now consists of three publications and an in-house digital ad server. "Marketing for cannabis can exceed 20% or even 40% of gross sales. NUGL offers a more robust, cost-effective marketing alternative for cannabis companies through our multimedia platform," stated Bouse.
NUGL recently launch NUGL MD, an online telehealth application connecting medicinal marijuana patients and doctors. NUGL MD currently runs alongside NUGL Inc. and NUGL Media Group, as a complimentary division that is already showing promising statistics. "I am happy with our quarterly financials and feel we have established a strong foundation for scalability," stated CJ Melone, Founder of NUGL. "I firmly believe we could not have gotten here without the support of the community and our loyal shareholders. Our mission has been and will be to support the growth and evolution of the cannabis industry while executing a business model that rewards our loyal shareholders."

According to cast members, the set of Little Women was allegedly haunted by the ghost of Louisa May Alcott. Born in 1832, Alcott was an American author who was best known for writing the novel Little Women back in 1868.
In an interview with OprahMag.com, the cast members of Little Women claimed to have felt the spirit of Alcott while filming the movie. While there have been several different movies based on the book, why was this newest version the only one to be haunted by Alcott's ghost? It may be because this was the only version (besides a silent movie in 1918) that was filmed in Alcott's hometown of Concord, Massachusetts.
Laura Dern, who played Marmee March in the movie, told OprahMag.com, "What's incredible about being in Concord, is that you'll say in this shy way, 'I sort of feel the spirit of Louisa,' and locals will say, 'Oh yeah. That's haunted. We see her all the time. She walks with the girls all the time."
Concord is full of reminders of the Alcott family, as the Orchard House (Louisa's childhood home) is now a museum that contains paintings done by Abigail May Alcott Nieriker. And just a mile away is the grave of the Alcotts' third daughter, Elizabeth.
Greta Gerwig, who was the writer and director of the movie, told The Hollywood Reporter that she was "seized by the spirit of Louisa May Alcott," and had a spiritual connection with the late author.
Since the movie was being filmed in her hometown, perhaps Alcott's spirit was just curious as to how they were going to adapt her novel into a new film. She didn't appear to be angry as the cast members didn't feel threatened at all by her presence.
As for the town of Concord, there have been many reports of paranormal activity over the years, especially at the Colonial Inn. In fact, it's been ranked as one of the most haunted hotels in all of the United States.
In 1966, a newlywed couple were staying at the Inn (room 24) when the following morning the bride emerged from the room looking really pale. Approximately two weeks later, the Innkeeper received a letter from the bride which read in part, "On that night [June 14] I saw a ghost in your Inn... I was awakened in the middle of the night by a presence in the room – a feeling that some unknown being was in the midst. As I opened my eyes, I saw a grayish figure at the side of my bed, to the left, about four feet away. It was not a distinct person, but a shadowy mass in the shape of a standing figure. It remained still for a moment, then slowly floated to the foot of the bed, in front of the fireplace. After pausing a few seconds, the apparition slowly melted away..."
When the Inn was turned into a hospital for injured soldiers during the Revolutionary War, room 24 was used as an operating room where several people died, so that may explain the apparitions seen in that room. Some of the reports include guests seeing the ghosts of injured soldiers, a middle-aged nurse named Rosemary, and other apparitions wearing colonial clothing. The television and lights have inexplicably turned off and on in that room, as well as hearing disembodied whispers coming from the closet and having the door suddenly slam shut.
And it's not just room 24 that is haunted, guests and employees have seen the apparitions of an older woman and a tall, slim man with a top hat hanging out in the sitting room. A young child wearing a bonnet has also been witnessed walking by the front desk, as well as spirits wearing colonial clothing sitting in the Liberty Room. Additionally, items often go temporarily missing and/or fly off the shelves for no reason.
So, if the author of Little Women is really haunting Concord, she's apparently not the only spirit who is wandering around the town.

Next month's UN Climate Change Conference (COP23) in Bonn will harness clean energy to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions it creates.
The organisers are working to ensure the event is a climate neutral one by implementing a range of measures.
"The first step of our programme is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the event as much as possible by taking measures, for example energy efficiency. The second step is to use renewable energy as much as possible, but still you will have a certain amount of emissions that are not avoidable, so in a final step these emissions need to be compensated. Compensation means an investment in climate protection projects in other places," explained Dr Hartmut Stahl from the Öko-Institut (Institute for Ecology) a key advisor to the German government on sustainability issues relating to COP.
COP23 takes place between 6-17 November 2017.
And there are a range of actions that businesses and individuals can take to contribute to a global reduction in emissions. One, led by the United Nations Climate Change secretariat, is the 'Climate Neutral Now Pledge', a voluntary programme that encourages organisations to take climate action by 'measuring, reducing, and offsetting' their unavoidable emissions.

It's My Birthday, It's My Birthday
Errrrr….it was my birthday. On Monday. You know, when we found out about the visas and had to begin making moving plans??? Kind of a bummer to find out on my birthday, but we are not ones to dwell on such things. Oh noooooo!
Mark Cassanova woke me up in the morning with a very yummy breakfast:
Who knew he could make the perfect egg? It's as if he has been waiting for the entire 17 years we have been together to let me in on his little hidden skill.
Then we laid in bed (mostly because the couch is SO uncomfortable) and read books. And instead of getting ready for work, Mark Cassanova informed me he took the whole day and night off to hang out with me. Awww…so cute! He had done some research and found a nice restaurant at the top of a hotel where you can overlook the whole city.
Of course when we arrived at the restaurant, and we asked for a window seat, we got the typical Bulgarian response of "they are all full". Ummm….they were actually all quite empty. VERY EMPTY. Like I can hear an echo in here empty. Perhaps they are reserved and people will come a bit later, we thought. But alas, the whole time we were there–which was a long time because meals here take a looooooong time–only a few tables filled up. And sure enough, as we were leaving, we noticed there were still a few empty ones. Oh well. We got a seat just a little ways away from the window so we were still able to enjoy the view.
We had a huge meal and dessert, of course!, then headed home to watch a movie and crash. A very nice evening indeed. 🙂
Oh, and for those of you wondering how old I am, well, let's just say that my age now has the same digit twice, and as much as I would prefer that it be 22, it is not.

Do the digits add up to six or eight? My bet is on six….

Most Important Features
Blade Material
The blade material is an important consideration when purchasing fixed blade knives. The most resourceful and versatile materials that you can consider are:
420HC stainless steel; 1095 Cro-Van, 56-58HRC blade steel; triple layered laminated stainless steel; 1095 high carbon steel; and AUS-8 stainless steel. All these steel materials offer you blades that are easy to sharpen, corrosion resistant, and high performing.
If you can't afford these types of materials, however there others that are going to give you some great results. Even if you don't find these exact versions, however, make sure you're looking at carbon or stainless steel as a way to get high quality as well as longevity and aversion to rust.
Serrated blades offer great improvement in cutting ability. These blades are particularly useful for tough cutting chores, such as cutting tough fibrous ropes and plastic. The most reliable, full-length knives are partially serrated. This offers you increased usability and durability.
In addition, partially serrated/combo knives are extremely strong, easily re-sharpened, and capable of holding a fine edge. For some, however, a serrated knife takes away from some of the ability of the knife and a smooth edge is considered a much better find.
It's going to be up to your own preference whether you like a smooth edge or you prefer a serrated one and it's likely going to depend on the specific types of tasks that you want the knife to be able to perform. If you need to have the utmost control, a clean cut and complete accuracy you'll want to look at a straight edge knife, for example.
Ergonomic Handle
You want the knife that you choose to be completely comfortable in your hand. Having an ergonomic handle helps to ensure that your knife is going to stay right where you want it and you shouldn't have to worry about dropping it while you're in the middle of a cut or even while you're walking through the woods.
You should be able to hold it firmly and still be comfortable with it, rather than having to grip it tightly in order to retain control at any point. A good handle should be made with sturdy materials however, as well. You want something that is going to last and be comfortable to hold onto.
Just because it's ergonomic doesn't automatically mean it's comfortable. If it has seams going through the middle it's definitely not going to be comfortable on your hand for a long period. You want a material that is sturdy, strong and smooth under your hand, but keep in mind if it's too smooth that could actually make it harder to hold onto.
It's a very special balance that you want to make sure you have between smooth and just enough roughness to keep you from dropping the knife.
Size Overall
The size of your knife is going to be important because you need it large enough to take care of any tasks you need to perform, but small enough that it's easy to carry around with you. It's also important to note that a bigger knife doesn't always mean that it's going to be a better knife for everything you need to do.
If you're going to dress small game or even if you're going to carve a snare you need something that is able to cut a fine edge and a large knife is definitely not going to be able to do that for you. A larger knife can be a good option for things like cutting branches and wood for a fire, however.
So how do you decide which type of knife you actually want? A good overall option is a 10" knife. Keep in mind, this is the length of the entire knife, not the length of the blade. The blade, however, should be around 5" or so, and the handle makes up the rest so you're ready for smaller tasks as well as larger tasks that may need to be performed.
A survival knife can be your best weapon against anything from hunger to cold to danger, but size is definitely important to that.
Full Tang
This is one of those things that a lot of people don't consider, but it's extremely important. The blade and handle should be considered full tang. What this means is that the blade and the core of the handle are made with one long piece of metal that's been carved out to form the blade and the handle.
If you look at any knife you have you'll most likely see a piece of plastic or wood as the handle, but inside that knife is the 'actual' handle. The blade and this inner core are one piece in a high quality knife and the more balanced the knife the better it is. A full tang means that not only is this one piece, however, but also that the two are balanced.
The blade and the tang, without any extra outer handle pieces, would be perfectly balanced in weight if you were to try to balance them at their center point. This is important for the durability and the strength of your knife. Other types of tang, such as half tang, push tang or rat-tail tang are going to give you less balance and less durability.

The Gerber Lmf II Survival Knife is one of the most renowned survival knives on the market. The blade is made of 420HC stainless steel, which is not only corrosion resistant but also easy to sharpen. The steel material is hardened to acceptable standards for improved cutting performance.

The handle is over-molded, thus providing you with a secure and strong grip while preventing hand blisters. In addition, you can extend Gerber LMF II usability by utilizing the lashing holes on the handle and buttcap.

Common Areas in the Home Damaged by FloodPosted by Jules on Jul 4, 2017 in Natural Disasters | 0 comments
When you think about natural disasters that can damage your home and can pose a threat to the lives of your family, one of the first ones that come into your mind is floods. There is good reason for that. Floods are some of the most devastating natural disasters you can experience, and the worst part about them is that they can be unpredictable.
Below are just some of the damages a flood can do to your home.
Structural damage
Floods, particularly those that move at a rapid pace, may have enough force to seriously damage the structural aspect of your home, putting it or its parts at risk of collapsing. This is particularly true when it comes to walls, especially those in the exterior, because they may have received sufficient force from flood waters.
But moving water is not just the culprit to structural damage, because even stagnant flood water can be a problem, particularly on floorboards, wallboards, and parts of the house that are made of wood.
Some structural damages can be obvious, but some may require the help of qualified professionals. It is important to get their help, just to be safe.
Electrical system damage
Electricity is one of the most underrated hazards when it comes to floods, because people tend to overlook it. The most dangerous aspect is conduction, or how electricity can travel through water. So, if you are not sure if you have properly turned off your electricity and other utilities, don't go back into your house, especially if it is still wet.
Flood, whether moving or stagnant, can damage wiring systems, circuit breakers, fuses, light switches, and outlets, and these will likely need replacements.
Appliance, furniture, and personal damage
Aside from the structural and electrical systems of your house, the things that are actually inside the house are also at risk of damage. These may include appliances, such as television sets, refrigerators, and computers, furniture, such as sofa sets and dining tables, and personal belongings, such as photo albums and clothes.
Many appliances can be restored as long as they are properly cleaned and thoroughly dried before trying to turn them on again. Many furniture, however, are likely to be destroyed, especially those that are predominantly made of wood or textile.
Damage assessment
According to the website of the Texas insurance claims adjusters at K2 Consulting & Services, LLC, insurance companies may send their own adjusters to determine the extent of damages in your property.
But insurance is a business, so it is not far out to believe that these adjusters will not be as extensive as you would have liked. So, having an idea on what areas of your house are typically damaged is important, so you can gauge whether the damage assessment is at least fair.

Image Manipulation Services
Before / After
Move the image slider left/right.
If you have an image(s) that would like to display on social media or print etc which would benefit from manipulation - be this subtle enhancement of contrast and tone, the detailed removal of artifacts, or even greater manipulation - then I can help you with this.
I am skilled at image manipulation ... all of the images you see on this website have been worked to a lesser or far greater extent ... especially as all of my photos are taken in RAW format (akin to film negative) - which means they all have to have exposure, tone, brightness, sharpness etc selected manually.
Please contact me to discuss how I can make your favourite images far better for you.
