The following article was written for ESPN and brought to our attention by one of our swimmers who is now a freshman training at a D 1 top ten NCAA program. It is especially interesting to us since the swimmer noticed the role of the brain in the process of evaluating limits. This is a topic near and dear to us. We often do "brain training" with our team. Isn't it a little crazy that as coaches when we say things in meetings or on pool deck we wonder if anyone is really listening? Well we admit to being pleasantly surprised when this article was forwarded to us. Enjoy the tale, and then let us know what you think. Remember, the more we share the quicker we all learn!

Zero hour contracts and anti-avoidance
Zero hour contracts have grown in popularity in recent years and are increasingly used by employers to provide flexibility of the workforce. As a result of their growth in popularity there are some employers who have been using zero hour contracts to avoid employee rights and there have been a few cases involving this issue and the government have been reviewing the use of these types of contract.
It was proposed to ban exclusivity clauses in zero hour contracts and as a result the 'Banning Exclusivity Clauses: Tackling Avoidance' consultation has been looking at the proposed ban and how this may be avoided by employers. The result is that the government has issued draft regulations containing anti-avoidance measures.
The Current Position
Currently there are no regulations regarding the use of zero hour contracts and what they should contain.
A zero hour contracts is generally accepted as being a contract of employment under which there is no guarantee of work from the employer, but which the employee agrees to work if offered.
In some cases employer's will not guarantee any work to the employee but also prohibit them from working elsewhere, thus leaving an employee in a situation where they potentially have no regular work and are unable to work elsewhere, even when they have no work for the employer.
The Changes
Following provisions in the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill 2014-2015 there will be, once approved and implemented by parliament, a prohibition on employers restricting zero hours workers from working for other businesses.
The result will be that terms in a zero hour contract preventing an employee from working for another employer will be unenforceable, and it will be open to the Secretary of State to insert additional regulations which will ensure that employees can work elsewhere if employed for zero hours.
The Issues
From the responses to the consultation it was apparent that employers would seek to avoid the ban on exclusivity clauses by offering a very low number of guaranteed hours to the employee, thus taking the contract outside the scope of a zero hour contract, or offering no work or fewer opportunities to employees who also worked elsewhere.
This will now be dealt with by giving employees the right to pursue a claim in the Employment Tribunal if they are subject to detriment as a result of working for another business. The employee will be entitled to compensation in these circumstances.
There will also be an income threshold at which the anti-exclusivity regulations will apply, thereby countering a situation where an employer offers an employee a guarantee of a low number of hours.
The Employment Tribunal will also be able to use their existing powers to issue financial penalties for employers seeking to avoid the ban.
The proposed changes, as detailed above have been set out in the draft Zero Hours Workers (Exclusivity Terms) Regulations 2015 which have been put forward for consideration by Parliament.
The Future
The regulations deal with one specific issue regarding the use of zero hour contracts but there are a number of issues that already cause confusion for employers and employees, including the calculation of holiday and benefits.
Being a topic that has been covered in the media it is also an issue that the various political parties have highlighted in their manifesto with some saying they would ban zero hour contracts altogether and others saying they would introduce tighter regulation on their use.
What is certain is that there will continue to be issues that arise with their use, and I am sure further Tribunal and Appeal Tribunal cases dealing with these new regulations.

Polar's $499 Vantage V health watches.
Inside is expertise to measure coronary heart price and working energy, together with different sensors, together with a GPS.
The extra inexpensive, $279 Vantage M health watch.
It lacks among the options included within the Vantage V watches, nevertheless it has interchangeable bands and the same battery life.
Polar's focus has all the time been on the elite athlete, and its latest household of units would not change that, regardless that they could not look the half. Polar introduced the brand new Vantage collection of wearables at this time, which incorporates the $499 Vantage V and $279 Vantage M health watches. Borrowing many design facets from Garmin, the Vantage units feel and appear far more wearable than any earlier Polar units, however they do not sacrifice health chops within the course of.
The previous few Polar units we have examined seemed like cumbersome wrist cuffs, however that design is gone. The Vantage health watches look so much like Garmin's Vivoactive three, that includes round instances, three aspect buttons, and 1.2-inch (30mm) spherical shows. The Vantage M is the extra lifestyle-focused product of the 2, so it has interchangeable bands that customers can swap out relying on the event. It additionally lacks a touchscreen, whereas the Vantage V has a contact show (along with these three aspect buttons) and stationary bands.
The Vantage V and M watches each have Polar's new Precision Prime optical coronary heart price monitoring expertise, the newest iteration of pulse-capturing tech to come back from the corporate. You may instantly see the variations between it and different optical coronary heart price displays: beneath the watch are 9 LED lights, a combination of inexperienced and crimson hues lighting up like a Christmas tree, and 4 bioimpedance sensors that resemble tiny watch batteries.
The crimson and inexperienced wavelengths within the optical coronary heart price monitor penetrate deeper into the pores and skin to raised assess blood stream, whereas the bioimpedance sensors measure your physique tissue's resistance to electrical stream. These sensors, mixed with new algorithms, assist the Vantage units glean extra correct coronary heart price readings. The guts price monitor can monitor pulse all day lengthy, or you may flip all-day coronary heart price off to make use of it solely throughout train to save lots of battery energy.
The Vantage V targets probably the most severe athletes, so it has a number of additional sensors and options that the Vantage M lacks. Inside is an altitude sensor and expertise that may estimate working energy. Severe runners typically monitor working energy with devoted foot pods or chest strap sensors to enhance effectivity, type, and tempo. With the Vantage V, runners do not want an additional sensor to measure working energy as they watch can achieve this itself.
Whereas the Vantage V and M have the identical case sizes, the V feels a bit heavier due to the additional sensors and the marginally bigger battery inside. Polar estimates that the V will final for 40 hours of coaching with GPS and coronary heart price on, or about seven days of standard use. In distinction, the M will final for 30 hours of GPS and coronary heart price coaching, nevertheless it can also final for about one week of standard use on a single cost.
Coaching Load Professional and Restoration Professional
Each Vantage watches obtain smartphone alerts, monitor day by day exercise and sleep, they usually're each waterproof, to allow them to monitor swimming as properly. Each may connect with chest straps through Bluetooth, permitting customers preferring a coronary heart price chest strap to put on it and monitor its knowledge utilizing the watches. Neither have music storage, although, so you will not have the ability to take heed to music with out your smartphone useful.
Polar defined it was a sacrifice the corporate made to protect the Vantages' comparatively slim-and-light case designs, in addition to their lengthy battery lives. Whereas that is comprehensible, some will balk at spending a whole bunch on a watch that does not have a characteristic that is essential to many athletes.
Each of the brand new watches will make the most of Polar's up to date Coaching Load Professional, which estimates the depth of your exercise utilizing coronary heart price measurements and your private data like top and weight. You may get a Coaching Load studying after most workouts and a abstract of what that quantity means in relation to the exercise you simply accomplished. Utilizing extra superior algorithms, the brand new Coaching Load Professional ought to have the ability to higher estimate depth and inform you the best way to full your subsequent exercises to extend efficiency.
Polar's Restoration Professional characteristic goes hand in hand with Coaching Load Professional, nevertheless it's solely out there on the Vantage V, since it is the system that is for the extra severe crowd. Restoration Professional appears very similar to Garmin's Physique Battery characteristic: it estimates how lengthy your physique must recuperate after a exercise and when it is most acceptable so that you can try an intense exercise once more.
It is comprehensible that athletes in coaching would need Restoration Professional to tell Coaching Load Professional and vice versa—the depth of your exercise will affect your restoration time, and the period of time your physique has to recuperate will affect how arduous you can push your self through the subsequent session. Each Coaching Load Professional and Restoration Professional use many of the data you present Polar about your self, in addition to your recorded exercise data, to get their scores, so you may want to make use of the Vantage watches for about two weeks earlier than you may see probably the most correct estimates from each options.
The Vantage collection offered me with probably the most nice shock I've had from Polar in a very long time. Whereas Polar's wearables are on-par (and typically higher) than Garmin's for elite athletes, most have been marred by designs which are solely acceptable on a abandoned path or in an empty gymnasium. For some, that is a small worth to pay for a coaching system that meets all of your wants. However as smartwatches develop into extra standard, many customers need one system that may transition properly from the path to the workplace. Polar made a acutely aware resolution to solely put smartphone alerts on the Vantage watches, reasonably than bogging them down with all of the smartwatch options that come on different units (assume canned textual content responses, onboard apps, LTE connectivity, and many others). The corporate possible hopes that its method—health with a contact of smartwatch—will entice customers to check out the brand new Vantage system household.
The Vantage V and M watches can be found for preorder at this time beginning at $499 and $279, respectively.

Paddy Casey – Addicted To Company, Part 1
Back in the day, I really loved another album by this guy, called Amen (So Be It), which is a funny title for a first record. Should be a last record's title, ya know? Anyway. Amen should have been reviewed in these pages, not sure why it wasn't. Must get on that. I always thought of that record as a cross between Beck, David Gray and Bob Dylan. Yeah, I know. And, never looking him up since, I'd just assumed that that was his only record. Honestly, I'd forgotten all about him. But I was pleasantly surprised to find this effort in the $2.95 bin (sorry, dude), so I have given it a good home. Wikipedia also tells me there was another (interim) record called Living, as well, so I'll have to find it.
This record is thoughtful, at times playful and full of background creativity. There's a bit of flirtation with that old soul sensibility, too. Just like his first record. It's very pleasant to listen to, mostly mid-tempo singer-songwriter stuff that would work equally well on a stage with a band or busking with an acoustic guitar (as he used to do) on a street corner somewhere in Dublin. The tracks Fear and It's Over Now reappear here (in different form) from that first record. Why someone would do that so early into a career, unless they were trying to hammer home that they really hope these songs would be the ones that take off, is beyond me. Whatever. This is a fun record if you're in the mood for exactly what I just described. You could do a lot worse with most of the crap that's out there, trust me. Hope there's a Part 2 of this, someday. Recommended.

Add to Calendar
Sonata Arctica
Sonata Arctica began in 1996 under the name Tricky Beans in Kemi, Finland. They would release three demos under that name – Friends Till the End, Agre Pamppers and PeaceMaker. In 1997 they renamed themselves Tricky Means, changing their rock ways into a more Power Metal feel and gaining influences from bands such as Stratovarius.
Battle Beast
Based out of the hard rock-rich Finnish capital city, Helsinki's Battle Beast specializes in no-holds-barred, mace to the face, vintage European power metal.
Originally formed in 2008, the band underwent a few lineup changes before settling on guitarists Anton Kabanen and Juuso Soinio, drummer Pyry Vikki, bass player Eero Sipilä, keyboard player Janne Björkroth, and powerhouse female vocalist Nitte Valo. They inked a record deal with Finnish label Hype Records in 2010 and issued their debut album, Steel, the following year. The record did well regionally, and eventually caught the ear of Nuclear Blast, which reissued the album internationally in 2012. After a European tour with Nightwish, Valo announced her departure from the group, citing family reasons. New vocalist Noora Louhimo joined just in time for a tour with fellow Finnish power metal unit Sonata Arctica and in 2013, the band headed back to the studio to begin work on their sophomore long-player. The resulting eponymous Battle Beast peaked at the number five slot on the Finnish album charts. Unholy Savior, the band's third studio outing, arrived in January 2015, and topped the Finnish charts in its opening week. That same year saw the departure of guitarist Anton Kabanen, who was replaced by keyboardist Janne Björkroth's brother, Joona Björkroth, in 2016. The following year saw the band release their fourth studio album, Bringer of Pain, and embark on their first North American tour alongside Sabaton and Leaves' Eyes. Following a successful world tour, including dates in Japan, the group returned to the studio to record their fifth album. With keyboardist Janne Björkroth in the production chair, the resulting album, No More Hollywood Endings, was issued at the beginning of 2019.

West Quoddy Head Light
West Quoddy Head Historic Lighthouse is America's most famous lighthouse – its red and white candy-stripes are depicted in endless calendars and postcards. Built in 1808 to aid mariners travelling through the south entrance to Quoddy Roads, between Campobello Island and the mainland, it is perched on America's easternmost point.
The first lighthouse on the site was made of wood but had to be rebuilt in 1831, when the new 49-foot-tall rubblestone structure was made. It lasted until 1857, when the current brick tower was completed together with a Victorian keepers' house. It was equipped with a third-order Fresnel lens and given its red and white stripes, influenced by Canadian lighthouses, where such coloring is common to stand out against the snow. The lighthouse was automated in 1988. There is a small visitors center and museum in the keepers' house. It is maintained by the West Quoddy Head Light Keepers Association.

I was born at Edingthorpe near North Walsham, and I lived there till I was about five. Just before I started school. By that time we'd moved to Coltishall where I started school and I was there till I was ten years old. We then moved from there to Trimingham and lived there till we were forty three. During the time we were at Trimingham I finished school and I had about three weeks on the farm after I finished school in July and we moved in October and in that time it just changed from school to work because in those days a lot of us where the fathers worked on the farm, the sons were expected to as well, so after about the age of eleven or twelve there was always odd jobs you could do, which wouldn't be allowed today for health and safety reasons. But when I think back, the things we used to do, and how few accidents there was, it rather amazes me where all this health and safety has come from. It's difficult to put into words really but by the time we were twelve I could handle a horse, I could harness a horse, I could take one about three miles to the blacksmiths on a Saturday morning, which I got half a crown, and that just went on from there. Being fairly tall and well built, the idea was in those days if you were big enough you were strong enough, and you could work like a man. Although you didn't get a man's pay until you were twenty one. Some of my first jobs would be horse raking, at harvest time. I have helped on my grandfather's farm, where he worked, to take horses for the change over on the binder, because they could only do two hours because that's such heavy work, and then take the others back and unharness them and feed them.
Boy and man on the farm
You worked on the same farm as your father?
Yes. You didn't really have a choice if he lived in the tied house. And the farmer had a job for you it was there. You couldn't choose your career or anything like that.
And you were still at school when you started working?
When I started work I was still at school.
So, as well as helping with the horses you mentioned working on the binder? What was that? What time of year was that?
Well, when we harvested…
And the binding, was that a machine…
Cut corn and tie in sheaves. And of course, in the winter, when I was still at school we'd go Saturday mornings, have a horse and tumbrel, and cart sugar beet tops or mangels to feed the stock, and that's how it went on till I left school and that was that full time.
So did you miss some school to help on the farm?
Yeah – we used to bunk off sometimes. I remember one farmer on the estate, not the one my father worked for, but he came after me one night. He'd got trouble with his beet drill. It kept blocking up, so he wanted me to go with him the next day so he could drive the horse in the drill, and I could watch all the cups and make sure they were going round and the seed was going out. Well, I thought a few pence there was better than going to school, so that was where I went. I always remember the night we finished. He gave me what he thought was a fair do, and he said, Ay, here y'are boy, he said, you learnt more today than you'd ever have done in school, and that was the whole attitude at that time.
What did he give you in money then for something like that?
Probably about a two shilling piece or something.
And that's for all day, is it!
Walking up and down a field all day!
So, what were the main sorts of crops you were involved with then at that time?
Well, that be wheat, barley, oats. Oats and peas, which we used to dread. Because that was all tangled up, and that was an awful job to handle. And sugar beet, and all foodstuffs for the cattle. Because at that time a lot of the land was taken up to feed the horses even.
What was it about the peas that you didn't like?
Well, of course the peas climb, don't they? And of course they climbed up the oats and pull the oats down. When they were got down they were just like rope. They were all mixed in together. Why they didn't grow the oats and the peas separate and then mix them when they wanted to grind them I don't know. Because at that time you don't think, do you? That was one thing we didn't used to like.
Was this all weathers, were you out in all weathers?
Yes, oh yes, and up to the time I left school, that October I left school, we were at Trimingham, right on the cliff edge, so you could imagine what that would be like in wet weather. You'd have an old sack round you and, ha ha, drag about, oh dear… Yeah, that was nothing at that time to pull some mangels on a piece of land at the edge of the cliff, and go back the next morning there'd been a cliff fall and you'd see some mangels right across the beach… ha ha…
Wow… So how old were you when you left school
I were fourteen when I left school. I left school on the summer holidays, which would be about the twenty fourth, twenty fifth of July I expect. I was fourteen on 19th July, so I had about another week or so of school after I was fourteen, then I left on the Friday night and started work on the Saturday morning. Worked ever since, right till I retired!
How much holiday would you have then, when you started full time?
I don't know if at that time we got up to a week. That might have been about three or four days but I can't be absolutely sure. Because holidays, among farm workers anyhow, they didn't start at all till about '38.
So you had about a week a year off the rest of the time?
That was work, just constant work. Of course, at harvest time, you'd be out twelve hours a day anyhow at least. Probably a bit more.
How did your work change when you went full time? Did you get different things to do? More work?
Not really, no, because I'd been doing most of that anyhow.
What was your boss like, presumably the man who owned the farm?
Oh, he was all right, yeah, we got on all right in that respect, yeah.
How big was the farm?
I think at that time that was then about three hundred acres say. That included arable land and water meadows and suchlike.
And were there any animals other than the horses?
Oh, cows, and fat stock. Which would be running loose all summer on the pastures, and then come in winter time to be fattened up ready for market. We didn't have sheep, we didn't have hens. There was just a few hens, but not many.
And as time went on were you given more responsibility on the farm?
Yes, because after you'd been working probably a couple of years or so another young lad would come along and you'd be expected to teach him what to do, make sure he didn't do anything stupid or silly or get injured or anything.
What were the main things you'd advise?
Well, the way to use a fork, a pitchfork, for one thing, which may sound a bit silly but you can do some dangerous things with a pitchfork… or how to swing a hook even. All things which are way in the past now, for good or bad. I'm not sure which.
You said you became a tractor foreman. Was that at this farm or…
No, no, that was after I was married. Or actually, when I got married. After I was about sixteen I got into tractor driving. Learnt to plough. Which had to be to a good standard because the farmer I was working for at that time, he really had things done properly. I didn't know another farm like it really. But anyway that put me in good stead for when I moved about on other farms and that. And when I got married I left there and took a tractor driver's job and foreman. That was another place. That was a big change in one way because I'd gone from lovely soil that you could do anything with, at any time of the year to heavy clay, a lot of it. That did cause me some aggro, still I was able to master it. [Originally expressed in Norfolk as: And that did drive me quite a bit until I got into the way of it. Ed.]
Is it more difficult to plough straight in the clay?
Not to plough straight so much, but to get it to turn over properly. I'd never experienced this but I remember the first time I went to plough I was ploughing along, it turned the furrow over, and then it was falling back in behind me. All you could see was a mark where the disk had been to cut it. And I'd never been used to that, so that meant setting the plough up in a totally different way, and you couldn't do neat ploughing or anything that I'd been used to.
So it would fall straight back but you couldn't say where it was going to fall?
Well, it'd just fall back to where it had been.
Where was this farm then?
That was at Susted, that was.
How many men were you in charge of there?
Four, and five at times. We did grow some soft fruit, where we used to have women picking and weeding and all such like that, but I wasn't involved in that bit of it.
So you were driving the tractor, what were the other men doing?
There'd be another lad; he'd be carting the food for the cattle and suchlike. And harrowing, and all those.
Moving to Wall Engineering
What made you move on from there and join Wall Engineering?
Finance! I think, I had this chance to go there to Wall Engineering. Had an interview with the foreman and we spoke about money and suchlike and I found I was going to be about eighteen pence an hour better off, which in those days was big money. And I went there to learn cutting plates and drilling. Structural engineering. But I'd always wanted to be a lorry driver and I got one or two chances to go out with small loads, cause those days, if you needed, if you'd got a car licence you could drive and that was it. Nobody went with you; you just found your way as you went along. I did this once or twice, and I got to like the job and I suppose they found I was reliable; I could get up early in the morning. Because sometimes you had to make quite an early start to be on site when the erectors were. And that carried on, like I say, twenty two and a half years.
So, Wall Engineering, what did they make, what did they do?
That was all structural engineering. There was hardly anything else, mostly structural engineering. To start with, that would be farm buildings, Dutch barns…
Building them?
Well, they put the steelwork up. They'd make all the steelwork, take it out to the site, and that would be erected, and then builders and everyone else came in behind to finish off and do all the auxiliary works.
So, basically you were transporting the steel and so on for the Dutch barns.
That's right, yeah. And as time went on, the buildings got bigger, longer, portal trusses came in, in two parts; some of them would be up to forty, fifty feet long. So you'd have some really obscure loads, and I sometimes wonder now how I got around with them, with how the roads were then to what they are now.
So, these were obviously very heavy. How were they put on to the lorries?
Well, they'd be loaded by crane in the yard, and you'd have to meet a crane on site, and they would unload you.
So, there would be a mobile crane on the building site?
On the site there would be a mobile crane, yes
Were you involved in working that, or would somebody else do that?
I did some crane driving later on, that was when the company got their own crane, but I didn't do a huge amount of it. But what I did get involved in, we'd often take the steel out to a building before the erectors were ready to start, so that would mean taking a set of drawings and laying the building out where the parts were wanted, so they were in the right order. And woe betide you if you got one wrong, ha ha… That was all interesting work, and you know, you think afterwards, I got something to show for this. I mean, I can go about this town now and, I mean there are several big buildings in this town where I took all the steelwork. But of course, you don't see much of the steelwork when they're up and finished. That is nice to think that. There was job satisfaction, no doubt about that.
Are they mainly houses, or public buildings in North Walsham?
One big, well, what was then a biggish supermarket. The telephone exchange, the Post Office and such as that…
So you were involved in the building of the Post Office?
Yeah. We took the steel; I can remember taking it up there.
'Cause, if you recall, when you go back down there, you can see there's some big sycamore trees in front of it. Well, woe betide us if we'd have broken a branch off one of them when we were lifting it over. We had strict instructions about that! Ha ha!
So what sort of vehicle was it that you ended up driving?
What I ended up driving? Well, that would have been a Leyland Road Train.
An artic (articulated lorry)?
Oh yes, an artic. We went onto artics, oh, can't remember now, but for a long while we did have three ton Bedfords. And then we got the artic. There again, we went straight out onto artic, no previous experience. Same licence…
You didn't have any artic training!
No. Life was simple, ha ha. When they brought the HGV goods licence in, course then everyone had to pass the test, but us of a certain age who could prove we'd done it for a certain amount of time, we were granted what was known as grandfather rights. And that was how the world revolved.
I've driven a seven and a half tonner because of grandfather rights, but you can't any more…
No, I don't know what licences are applicable now. If anything else comes into it now.
So mainly you started off with three tonners?
Three tons.
Any others in between or did you go straight on to an artic?
No, I … the first one we had was an old Austin, and I remember coming back to Norwich one day and I see some men down in a lay-by a fair way ahead with white coats, and I thought, 'Right, they're checking…' That was when they were beginning to bring in MOT restrictions and suchlike to make sure lorries were in good condition. And so I did a quick turn off. Quite a long way back to get back to North Walsham without going past them… went in the office to see the guv'nor, explained to him. He said, 'keep your eye out,' he said, 'If you see them I don't mind if you go thirty miles round,' he said, 'but miss them…' Of course that then set into motion getting a better lorry. Of course, not a new lorry but a better one. And of course that was a company that everything was done as it should be really but I mean, nobody then had vehicles, or hardly anybody had vehicles, that were up to the MOT standard. I well remember one chap coming to Wales to pick up a lorry, a trailer, an artic trailer, that had been loaded for him, and I can't remember why but he came in and he was going to take this off to Wales. I remember when he backed onto the turntable that shook the whole unit, and the spring hangers were hanging on about one rivet in the chassis. So I thought that was being held on by sheer weight once that was on.
So the trailer wasn't roadworthy?
Well, the unit wasn't. Oh, I remember seeing them, ha ha. But that was how things were then. But even then going back, you didn't have that number of accidents. Strange thing, isn't it.
So were you mainly delivering in Norfolk or did you go further afield?
No, because to start with that were in Norfolk, but then we got England, Wales, Scotland, anywhere.
What was the furthest you would go then?
I think the furthest north I went on that particular job would be Glasgow. Renfrew Airport. We did quite a few down in Wales, in that area. Kent. We were doing a lot of work in Kent when the Bacton gas site was being built. I used to meet them on the road. There'd be a firm coming up from Kent to bring steel buildings to Bacton and we'd be taking steel buildings from North Walsham down to Kent…
Not a lot of sense there… With the artic, any memories of tricky places to get to or issues like that?
Oh yes, we had all sorts of problems. Tight corners where you couldn't turn. Worst problem we ever had was driving to somewhere where you couldn't only reverse out. That did happen a few times. But I remember taking to somebody very rich down at Mill Hill in London. He had a swimming pool built, or was in the process of building a swimming pool, but they were having a steel building built over it to cover it all in. And that was a very tricky place and he insisted that there's no way you could drive in there an artic, turn round and come out. The land was all landscaped and suchlike. Perfectly good road going in, but there was no way to come out, so we said that's all got to be unloaded on the road and pushed in on bogies. When I got there with a load, well it all went on one load, I think it was about twenty something ton of it. When I got there he was then going out, which was fortunate. The erector's foreman he said to me, he said, 'We can't do this,' he said, 'push all that in there,' he said, 'that's going to take no end of time, and that's going to be hard work, and some of it we won't be able to do it anyhow because the roadway isn't hard enough.' So anyhow, we went round, there stood the crane. I could drive round up to the crane and I said, 'well, there's no need to because if I drive onto the crane and you unload the trailer, you can then, if I unhitch the trailer, you can lift the trailer and swing it round out of the way. I'll back the unit out onto the road and back in again, turn the trailer round while it's lifted from the ground and we're away. Which we did, and didn't do any damage at all, but as I was driving back out onto the main road, the owner came back again. To see the look on his face as I was driving out … Ha, ha, it was a picture… It was one of those things that always stay in your mind.
So you'd done the job perfectly but he just didn't want you to drive it in…
Did not want us to drive in there and reverse out.
So did you reverse out?
I just reversed the unit out, which is dead easy, and then reversed it back in again. And in the meantime, the trailer had been lifted and turned round and faced the other way.
How did they turn the trailer round then?
Well, that was lifted off the ground by the crane and swung right round.
Lifted the whole thing off the ground?
I mean, the trailer only weighed about three tons.
Did you have to use tachographs and so on, towards the end?
They came in towards the end, yeah
How did you find them?
Difficult. But those days there was ways and means of getting round it. I mean, up to then we had log books. You were supposed to log everything we did, but the old saying was, well, you keep one at the front on the dashboard and one behind the seat… ha ha. And change them over.
You don't have to tell me this!
It's all in the past! Ha ha.
Okay… When did you finish at Walls then?
I can't remember the exact year, not without looking a load of papers up; I think it'd have been about 'eighty two. That was when recession set in, and they were laying off, and doing drastic changes. The lorry had to go and they went for outside contractors. So, I wouldn't stay because I had been on a good rate of pay which they wanted to cut drastically, to go back as a labourer. So, I then went down to General Haulage, which is all different, the set up was, completely.
General Haulage
That's another company?
Another company, yes. I'd always thought … I'd seen people with tipper lorries: he don't have to sit about waiting for a crane, or be there at a certain time, he can just open the back and let it go and that's finished and done with. But I found that didn't work exactly like that, because you'd get some loads that would stick to the tipper, and have an awful job to get them off.
This is a tipper truck? You're saying some of the stuff wouldn't come out?
Just wouldn't slide, would stick to the floor.
This would be like, sand, or something, would it?
No, sand'd run off dead easy. One of the main things, we used to cart a lot of sugar beet pulp nuts. And they set solid like a cake, 'cause they were warm when they put them on. Then they had this period when they used to dose them with something, some said it was talcum powder but I don't know if it was, it was a white powder. Then the salmonella came in, and they stopped doing this and that and the other, and up till that time we used to put some diesel on the floor or something like that. Of course, all that was banned. They'd check your trailer before they loaded, just to make sure that was clean and dry. And of course that gave us all these problems of getting rid of it.
So what would happen if the load stuck even when it was tipped?
Well, you'd get on there and break so much of it up, and then tip it up and get rid of that, and go and break some more up and tip it up like that.
So you'd break it off manually?
Break it off manually and then tip the trailer up and get rid of that and then go back and knock some more.
So did you use a pick or a spade or…
A spade, anything you could get your hands to.
Yes, not as easy as just tipping it off is it…
Oh no. But the other downside I found to that job was you'd … there was no job satisfaction. Once you'd tipped a load that was gone and finished, you'd got nothing to show for it or anything. After what I had been used to.
Most of that was going between farms and Cantley (Sugar Beet processing plant) was it?
Cantley, farms…
So that was local work, you didn't get the long trips?
Well, we did. The pulp nuts used to run us into long distance because a lot of that used to go down to Somerset, on the Somerset Levels. Then we'd bring back granite and stone back from Cheddar Gorge, in that area.
The nuts were being used as fertiliser?
Cattle feed.
How many years were you at General Haulage then?
Well, I worked there till I was … I think I done just over ten years. To about ninety two or three. And then, I was getting a bit old for the game so, I was looking for something else and a job came along in town and I wanted to leave because I was pretty sure I could pick up enough odd jobs just to keep me going the last two or three years of working life. You couldn't leave.. there were so many restrictions and that, you couldn't leave… anyhow, I did get a job in town, in North Walsham here, so I could leave and not worry about unemployment pay or anything like that, which I did. And although things and working conditions hadn't been that brilliant for quite a few months before I finished this other job, I was surprised the night I finished he said, 'You know, if it don't work out for you, you can come back,' he said, 'there's a job here until you retire,' which rather shook me really, after some of the problems I'd had. Anyhow, I didn't have to go back, so I carried on until I was sixty five.
That was a good offer anyway
Yeah, that really surprised us, didn't it?
Well, that's covered just about everything from when you started to finishing. Are there any sorts of people who stick out in your mind as memorable characters perhaps?
There has been so many I suppose… They'd be a few. At Wall Engineering, right at the early time, because of course they got going a bit more after I'd started there, they got up to about seventy working in the works. And of course there'd always be some of them who were game for a laugh and that. I always remember there was one chap there; we had a lot of steel plates stood about for different jobs. They'd got eight foot by four, and could not resist that he'd chalk something on one of them. And they'd be drawings, they'd be cartoons, and anyone would be the butt of one of the jokes, you just had to take it… And I always remember when we were coming up to finishing when there was all the redundancies coming, someone started a book on one of the sheets, who was going first, who was going to be last, and that stood there and, boy, he was way, way out! Ha ha…
They don't always know, do they?
Okay, well, I think that's probably covered everything unless there's anything else you want to add.
No, I shall think of a lot afterwards, no doubt.
Well, thank you very much for taking us through your experiences on the farm and in the haulage business.

Nottinghamshire is a county in the East Midlands of England, bordering South Yorkshire to the north-west, Lincolnshire to the east, Leicestershire to the south, and Derbyshire to the west
Nottingham in Nottinghamshire
Nottingham is a city in central England's Midlands region. It's known for its role in the Robin Hood legend and for the hilltop Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, rebuilt many times since the medieval era. In the Lace Market area, once the centre of the world's lace industry, the Galleries of Justice Museum has crime-related exhibits. Wollaton Hall is an ornate Elizabethan mansion with gardens and a deer park.
History of Nottinghamshire
Roman settlements are inevitable in this county, for example at Mansfield and forts such as at the Broxtowe Estate in Bilborough. However, there is evidence of Saxon settlement at the Broxtowe Estate, Oxton, near Nottingham, and Tuxford, east of Sherwood Forest. The name first occurs in 1016, but until 1568 the county was administratively united with Derbyshire, under a single Sheriff. In Norman times the county developed malting and woollen industries.
What To See in Nottinghamshire
It is famous for its involvement with the legend of Robin Hood. This is also the reason for the numbers of tourists who visit places like Sherwood Forest, City of Nottingham and the surrounding villages in Sherwood Forest. The ancestral home of the poet Lord Byron is also located here at Newstead Abbey,. It is now owned by Nottingham City Council and open to the public. As is the acclaimed author D. H. Lawrence, who was from Eastwood. Toton was the birthplace and home of English folk singer-songwriter Anne Briggs, well known for her song 'Black Waterside'.

There will be no afterlife for "Angel from Hell."
CBS has canceled the comedy after five episodes. The show drew unimpressive ratings in its run with a 1.42 same-day rating in adults 18-49. That's about two tenths below what the previous occupant of the 9:30 p.m. Thursday spot, "2 Broke Girls," drew in the fall.
"2 Broke Girls" will be back in the spot starting Feb. 18 after a brief run on Wednesdays ("Survivor's" new season takes over the 8 p.m. spot starting Feb. 17). A "Big Bang Theory" rerun will air in "Angel from Hell's" place this week.
The show is the first CBS rookie to get the ax this season.
There's no word yet on where "2 Broke Girls'" Wednesday companion, "Mike & Molly," will air the remainder of its final season.
"Angel from Hell" joins these shows that have been canceled in 2015-16.

BEL AIR, Md.- The Frederick Community College women's basketball team ran into a tough opponent on Friday night as they hit the road to battle the Harford Community College Fighting Owls. Harford defeated FCC by the score of 85-53. With the loss, the Cougars fall to 10-7 on the year (8-2 MD JUCO). The Fighting Owls improve to an impressive 23-1 overall record, including a perfect 10-0 in conference matchups.
Skylar Robinson played the entire game and scored a team-high 13 points. Teammate Amiah Banks chipped in with 11 points. Jone Ayers grabbed a team-high nine rebounds and scored seven points in the loss.
The Cougars struggled shooting the ball on the night. They connected on just 20-of-60 (33.3%) from the field, including 7-of-31 (22.6%) from beyond the arc. Harford applied pressure all night and forced FCC into 29 miscues.
FCC will return to the court on Monday (2/4) when they travel to Chesapeake College to take on the Skipjacks. Jump ball is set for 5:00 P.M.

We've had the privilege of working with the very talented Rachel Crick before when we photographed her for her first album release, and so we were so excited to hear from her about another upcoming album with another very talented musician! She and Jeff Calhoun decided to collaborate on this beautiful project featuring his incredibly guitar playing and her always lovely violin abilities. Much of their recording for the album has been at the local Grace Episcopal Church, which just so happens to perfectly embody the feel of their music, so they decided to start off the session there! This kind of a photographic style isn't what we typically do, but we love it! The quietness that the images evoke is so perfect for the hauntingly gentle and sacred songs the album includes. Plus these two just radiate stillness and grace in their demeanors, so it wasn't too difficult to capture :)
After we finished photographing inside the church, we took some more pictures around downtown, including some at a recently destroyed historic building. Such a terrible loss for our community, but a perfect metaphor for Rachel and Jeff's album- making something beautiful from the rubble. As soon as we began photographing there Jeff excitedly saw the symbolism and knew it would make a great addition to their album. We're so thankful not only that we have a Creator who makes beauty from destruction, but that Rachel and Jeff have decided to bring glory to Him through their music. We're honored to have been a part of the process!

I den spanske enklaven Ceuta i Nord-Afrika har politiet arrestert to brødrepar som hadde planlagt et terrorangrep. De skal være marokkanere med spansk statsborgerskap. De ble avslørt da en av jihadistene la ut en video på Facebook.
Police in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta have arrested four men suspected of belonging to a militant Islamist network that may have been planning an attack in Spain.
Spain has stepped up security as well as efforts to prevent the radicalisation of young Muslim citizens following attacks in Paris this month in which Islamist gunmen killed 17 people.
Confirming the arrests, Spanish Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz told reporters: 'They are two pairs of brothers, highly radicalised and highly trained.'
Diaz sa det var mange paralleller til de to brødrene som angrep Charlie Hebdo, men ville ikke utdype dette.
Sources close to the investigation told El Pais newspaper the probe had started two weeks ago when one of the four posted a video on his Facebook page showing him providing military training and urging others to wage jihad.
I anti-jihad-kampen vurderer Spania å utvide basen i Sevilla. Idag er det 850 av USAs marinesoldater som holder til her. Spania forhandler om å la Morón de la Frontera flybase øke til flere tusen amerikanske soldater i en krisesituasjon.
Spain is now ready to discuss a petition first formulated in Decemberby US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who asked Spanish Defense Minister Pedro Morenés for permission to upgrade the US military center to a permanent headquarters for the Pentagon's Africa Command task force.
If a deal is reached, the elite force of 850 Marines based in Morón could swell to several thousand in crisis situations, and become a permanent presence in southern Andalusia. The force's main goal is slowing down the advance of jihadism in the Maghreb and Sahel regions of Africa.

Dear Class of 2019:
It is hard to believe that, not too long ago, you traveled across city and country borders to begin your journey at the University of Pittsburgh.
You arrived as strangers, though many of you—600 or so—were following in familiar footsteps; the latest members of your family to pursue a Pitt education.
Together, you carved your own path, earning more than 40 national awards—including Fulbright, Boren and Beinecke scholarships.
Your interests expanded, ultimately evolving into 291 different combinations of majors.
And your record of community service grew, topping 90,000 hours over the course of your academic career.
During this time, you also sought out learning opportunities beyond the classroom, interning at places like Amazon, Walt Disney World and the Naval Nuclear Laboratory.
And your quest to leverage knowledge for society's gain pushed you beyond Pittsburgh—and beyond the United States—carrying you to an incredible 63 countries in 2019.
With graduation day just around the corner, it's safe to say you've made it (while making our Pitt community very proud).
Thank you for all the incredible memories—and for representing the best of our blue-and-gold network as you set out to make a powerful and positive difference in this world. You're off to an incredible start, and I can't wait to see what you'll accomplish next.
Hail to Pitt!
Patrick Gallagher

What is the connection between psychometric profiles and job satisfaction? Share:

Work is love made visible. — Khalil Gibran
Many of us have taken assessments or personality tests of one stripe or another in our lives. They are frequently used to determine our best educational or occupational path forward. Our first introduction to these tests is often in middle or high school.
All of these tests are intended to determine and analyze a range of characteristics, from likes and dislikes to basic aptitudes to hardwired psychology and personality.
What do they have in common?
If you take an aptitude test in school, the goal is to determine the educational path that is right for you. The goal of your educational path is to find the best job for you.
If you take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, before joining the military, the goal is to determine the job that matches your top aptitudes with the needs of the armed forces — to find the best military job for you.
If you take a psychometric assessment as part of a job application process, the goal is to match your emotional hardwiring with the needs and characteristics of the role.
By this point you are probably seeing the commonalities between these scenarios.
Along comes the Core Values Index.
The CVI is a psychometric assessment that measures the innate, unchanging nature of the individual. It efficiently and accurately classifies and clarifies your personality's DNA.
At eRep, we provide CVI services to individuals and employers. Our Top Performer Profiles™, or TPP, analyzes a role using the same scoring system as the CVI. We match candidate CVI scores against the TPP for the role, drastically short-cutting the time required to find solid candidates while increasing the accuracy of the hiring effort (we refer to it as "accurate hiring.")
Candidates placed in a role that is based on a high CVI-TPP match often outperform unmatched co-workers by 200%, while experiencing 50% lower turnover. The employer gets a rockstar employee, and the individual gets a job that is a natural fit for their personality and psychometric profile. Happiness abounds.
Ultimately, our primary goal is to put the right people into the right seats.
Discover your personality's DNA with the Core Values Index psychometric assessment.
This use of psychometric profiles to align jobs and candidates has been a huge success. Employers that utilize the CVI and TPP tools in the hiring process have a huge strategic advantage in their market segment.
Why does it work?
The CVI measures with laser-like accuracy the fundamental characteristics of your personality's DNA. These insights are provided in a comprehensive report customized for the individual, along with graphs that show the relationships and proportions of ten key personality traits — four core value energies and six contribution types.
These insights provide the most reliable tool available for individuals seeking to find the best occupational track or educational plan. Your CVI report is even surprisingly good at helping you understand and shape positive, healthy relationships.
You can't find the best job or education for you if you don't truly understand yourself first.
The Core Values Index psychometric assessment is the most reliable way to do that. Take the CVI and discover the connection between your psychometric profile and job satisfaction.

Join Sujata Shah workshop!
"Windmills" by Sujata Shah
by Linda Theil — June 25, 2016
Join us for a Sujata Shah workshop in July and receive:
- a free Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild membership for the remainder of 2016
- plus a chance to win a signed copy of Shah's Cultural Fusion Quilts
- in addition to enjoying a great day of learning and exploring the creation of free-form pattern blocks using NO patterns or templates!
Quilt artist Sujata Shah will be in Ann Arbor for two, hands-on, free-form-piecing workshops from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. July 15 and July 17, 2016 at the Morris Lawrence Building at Washtenaw Community College Campus, 4800 E Huron River Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48105.
The cost of each day-long workshop — "Windmills" on July 15 and "Peppermint Pinwheels" on July 17 — is $75 for non-guild members. Current guild members pay $55 per workshop. Participants may register online on the GAAQG website Workshops page.
A native of Mumbai who lives in Chester Springs, PA, Shah found personal inspiration in the 2002 national exhibition of "The Quilts of Gee's Bend".
In her book, Cultural Fusion Quilts, Shaw says:
"After discovering the quilts of Gee's Bend, my focus shifted from traditional quilts to utilitarian and improvisational quilts. African-American quilts in books such as Bold Improvisation by Scott Heffley and Accidentally on Purpose by Eli Leon reminded me of godharis, utilitarian quilts from India. Quilts made with scraps on hand have a graphic and bold identity of their own."
GAAQG: Could you tell a little about your education as a designer, and how the Gee's Bend show influenced the work you are doing today?
SHAH: I studied graphic design with a calligraphy major. Freeform working style is indented in my work habits.
When I saw quilts of Gee's Bend for the first time, I felt an instant connection with my heritage. There are many similarities between the two styles. There is some kind of comfort level in accepting imperfections of human hands. Mismatched points and colors not necessarily ruled by the color-theory gave me freedom to follow my heart. Creativity is first about the process, followed by a final product reflecting the personality of the maker. I try to remember that when I create as well as teach.
GAAQG: Do you care to tell a little about your teaching style and what you hope your students will learn/achieve in your class?
SHAH: Free Style – I expect my students to take home the understanding of Indian culture, be comfortable in the classroom and develop their own voice in quilting. Each of my quilts tell a story, there is a history and a background. I hope my students also find that connection through their creative process — that it is more about telling a story than making a quilt.
We spoke to Shah recently about her work:
GAAQG: What do you want your students to know about you?
SHAH: I am a very easy going person. I do talk a lot about my life during the class. Stories of growing up in India always resurface. They also help me to understand and explain my quilting style.
I am always curious about my students' quilting journey. How they got started with quilting and why they make quilts.
GAAQG: Any recommendations or advice for students?
SHAH: I want my students to expect the idea of accepting imperfections, to have freedom to create and explore more.
GAAQG: Are you working on a new book?
SHAH: Yes. I am constantly working on new quilts but these days I am mostly focused on taking freeform blocks to another level. There are endless possibilities with my technique and I want to see if there is enough variety in new quilts to propose for a book.
Sujata Shah will lecture at July 16 GAAQG meeting
In addition to her two, one-day workshops, Sujata Shah will also lecture on the topic of her book, Cultural Fusion Quilts, at the July 16 meeting of the Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild. The meeting begins at 9:15 a.m. (doors open at 8:15 a.m.) and will be held in the Towsley Auditorium of the Morris Lawrence Building at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor. Everyone is welcome; non-members pay a $10 fee, or ask for the sponsorship of an attending member to attend the meeting at no cost. Sujata Shah will also teach at the upcoming Quilter's Affair in Sisters OR July 4-8, 2016 and other venues this year and next. Check Shah's webpage, The Root Connection, for workshop information.
Shah said:
Teaching opportunity at Sisters, Oregon means a lot to me. This summer will be my first time visiting and teaching at Sisters. Anytime when there are hundreds of quilters under one roof, learning opportunities are multiplied for all. I am currently working on filling my schedule for next year. I will be teaching a four day retreat at Port Gamble Washington in May 2017 as well as guilds across the country.
For more information about Shah's inspiration, view this video, The Quilts of Gee's Bend produced by the Souls Grown Deep Foundation. To follow Sujata Shah's work, read her weblog, The Root Connection, and follow her on Facebook at The Root Connection and Etsy at Rangoli Designs.

Today, Apple held an event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York titled "There's more in the making." It is interesting that Apple chose to hold the event away from its new Apple Park campus and the Steve Jobs Theater. But it was clear that Apple wanted to focus on creative professionals and wanted that kind of energy. They kicked off the event with a video montage of Apple products in New York, set to Cole Porter's I Happen to Like New York, sung by Bobby Short. The New York crowd was very enthusiastic, and Tim Cook even joked, "I am moving to New York!" The full video is available on Apple's site. Here is a recap of today's announcements.
MacBook Air
Apple led with the computer that Mac users love to take everywhere. This redesigned MacBook Air brings the design and specs in line with the rest of Apple's notebook lineup with a Retina display, Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C ports (2 of them!), Touch ID, a Force Touch trackpad, and upgraded processors. And it's one of Apple's greenest products, with the enclosure made from 100% recycled aluminum. The MacBook Air starts at $1199. The previous model is still available for $999. But is the new MacBook Air a little too familiar? It's similar to the MacBook. Very similar. With this update, I was expecting Apple to merge the two product lines, but they didn't. As it is, I think there will be some consumer confusion. Just the product names are misleading, since the MacBook Air is larger and slightly heavier than the MacBook. If your primary motivator is portability, you will want the MacBook. But for about the same price, you can get a similarly equipped MacBook Air with some nice extras. If you need even more power, step up to the MacBook Pro line. As always, we are here to make custom recommendations to our clients looking to update their Apple hardware.
Mac Mini
Next up is the other small Mac that users love: the Mac mini. The mini was in desperate need of an update. The previous generation just celebrated its 4th birthday, which is ancient in compute hardware. Thankfully, the mini came roaring back with a machine that we have already recommended to clients. It's the perfect machine for an on-site FileMaker Server, for those clients that don't want to host their custom FileMaker apps in the cloud. While some may point out that the base price has risen from $499 to $799, that $499 model was severely under-powered. The previous Mac mini offered only dual-core processor (the generation before that had the option of quad-core processors). Now 4 cores are the entry level, with an option for 6 cores. The base mini used to come with slow 5400-rpm spinning hard disks. Now they are all ultra-fast PCI-e SSD storage. Note that the storage is soldered on to the motherboard, so make sure you get as much as you'll need. You gan get up to 2TB, so you should be covered. You can now get RAM from 8GB up to 64GB, and it uses SO-DIMMs, so the RAM can easily be upgraded later by the user. For connectivity, you get 4 Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C ports, 2 USB 3 ports, HDMI 2.0, a choice of gigabit or 10Gb Ethernet, and even a headphone jack. With so many options to configure, pricing ranges from $799 to $4199. Pro-level performance in a Mac mini, and pricing to match. And to up the cool factor, Apple is only making the new Mac mini in Space Gray.
Apple Retail
Apple took a break from hardware announcements to talk about the Apple Stores with Senior VP of Retail Angela Ahrends giving us the updates. She talked about recently reopened, new, and upcoming flagship stores and how they are meeting places in their communities. There was a focus on the Today at Apple sessions that show people what they can do with their Apple hardware and software, announcing that they are adding 60 new sessions to the offerings. Apple now has over 70,000 retail employees.
iPad Pro
When Tim retook the stage, he gave an overview of the iPad lineup, from the "I'm not dead yet" iPad mini to the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro was the only iPad to get updates today, but they were major. A completely redesigned enclosure gives the iPad a more squared-off look, reminiscent of the iPhone 4/5 body. The 10.5″ screen is now 11″ but the bezels are much smaller, so the overall size is about the same. The 12.9″ version keeps the same screen size, but reduces the device size. The iPad Pro is now 1mm thinner than its predecessor at 5.9mm thin. That combination makes the 12.9″ iPad Pro 25% less overall volume than the previous model. Of course the iPad Pro has an updated Apple-designed A12X Bionic chip, delivering performance that Apple claims is faster than 92% of all portable PCs. The Liquid Retina display features rounded corners that blend in with the bezels, similar to the iPhone XR. The iPad Pro features Face ID for secure biometric authentication and no home button, like the X-series iPhones. To support faster charging and expanded connectivity, including up to 5K resolution external displays. You can even charge your iPhone from the iPad Pro's USB-C port. There is a new Apple Pencil that attaches magnetically to the side and automatically pairs and charges when attached. There is a new double-tap gesture on the Pencil that lets you change input options, customizable by app developers. The iPad Pro starts at $799 for the 11″ or $999 for the 12.9″, with configurations up to $1899. Not inexpensive, but an impressive piece of hardware.
A Bit of Music
Apple likes to end these special events with a performance by a special musical guest. Singer Lana Del Rey performed two songs from her upcoming album. She said that they told her not to swear, so she couldn't tell us the name of the album, or one of the song titles.
Other Tidbits
Along with the major announcements, there were other items of interest, some of which didn't get any screen time. Apple released a number of software updates, including iOS 12.1, macOS Mojave 14.1, tvOS 12.1, and watchOS 5.1. Enhancements include Group FaceTime with up to 32 people, over 70 new emojis, and other improvements. Tucked in the MacBook Air press release, Apple announced that there is a new Radeon Pro Vega Graphics option coming to the MacBook Pro. Apple quietly eliminated the "Rose Gold" color option for the MacBook, leaving only silver, gold, and Space Gray.

It can be difficult to decide which type of dental insurance to get, particularly when you don't have a clear sense of the intricacies of each type of dental plan. We'll explore PPO dental insurance in detail, giving you an insight into the plan's treatment coverage, financial breakdown, benefits, and disadvantages and how to utilize it effectively:
So, what is PPO dental insurance? PPO – meaning 'preferred provider organization' – refers to a dental plan which give you access to a pre-existing network of dentists. This gives you the opportunity to utilize country-wide dental care, ensuring a high degree of freedom when it comes to your treatment options. You can see a dentist outside of your PPO network if you want, however, you will have to pay a higher rate for your treatment.
PPO dental insurance generally covers an extensive range of dental treatments, including:
Preventative and diagnostic procedures – routine exams, routine x-rays, fluoride treatments and cleanings.
Basic procedures – fillings, non-surgical extractions, periodontal scaling, emergency treatments, anesthesia, non-routine x-rays and palliative treatment.
Advanced procedures – gum disease treatment, dentures, crowns, surgical extractions, root canals, oral surgery and bridges.
PPO plans will often have numerous exclusions, such as dental injuries that are not covered. In most cases, braces will not be covered by PPO dental insurance. If you want braces covered by your dental plan, you'll probably need to pay a little bit more. Other exclusions can exclude pre-existing dental conditions, injuries sustained from your work environment, and other cosmetic dental treatments such as teeth whitening.
With a PPO dental insurance plan, you pay a monthly premium that is normally slightly higher than other types of dental plans, such as DHMOs and indemnity plans. Whenever you need to make a claim, you'll pay a co-payment (although preventative and diagnostic treatments are entirely covered by the plan). In addition, there's going to be an annual limit to the amount that you're able to claim. This figure will vary substantially from plan-to-plan, and if you think you're likely to claim regularly, it may be worth seeking out a PPO plan with a higher limit.
PPO dental insurance plans also have a deductible, which is the minimum amount that needs to be paid for the PPO to kick into gear. For example, if a procedure costs $150 but your plan's deductible is $200, you'll have to pay the entire cost of the treatment yourself.
As one of the most popular types of dental plans, PPO dental insurance has a wide variety of benefits. Most important, however, is the flexibility of this type of plan, which means that your treatment options aren't limited by geographic location. If you're a frequent traveler, a PPO plan can ensure that you stay protected wherever you are.
A PPO dental insurance plan will generally cost more in premiums than other types of dental plans, which can be a problem for more budget-conscious individuals. If you don't travel very far outside your local area, a DHMO plan may be a more appropriate option for your needs.
So, how do you make a claim with a PPO dental insurance plan? It's simple. In the majority of cases, the PPO dentist will handle all the paperwork for you, so you won't need to pay the entire fee and wait to be reimbursed. Instead, you'll just need to pay the co-payment. Before you receive treatment, it's always worth speaking to your dentist so that you can get a clear picture of what the costs of each individual treatment option work out as. Different treatments cost different amounts, which can have an impact on which one you choose, so it's best to stay aware of all the different options available to you.
