Thanks to technology, our smartphones have come a very long way from being just a device that can make phone calls, send emails, play music, and surf the web. These days our smartphones are becoming increasingly competent where they are being used in the medical field as ultrasound scanners and also as tools to help detect Alzheimer's.
This is why it doesn't really come as a surprise to learn that researchers have recently developed an app that can use our smartphones together with a paper cone to help diagnose ear infections. This will come in handy for parents with young children who might have a hard time trying to let their parents know that they have an ear infection.
Through the use of the app and the cone, it will be able to diagnose it in which parents can then take their kids to see a doctor to sort it out. How does it work? By using our smartphone's speakers, it funnels a sound through the cone and based on the echo of the sound picked up by the app, it will be able to tell if there might be fluid behind the eardrum.
So far based on their tests which involved about 50 children, it was found that the app was right 85% of the time. Some have pointed out that fluid behind the eardrum might not necessarily be an indication of an infection, and have suggested that the app's creators include additional information to parents on how to interpret the results before going to the doctor.

Well, we've made it; the dog days of summer. You know those days when it's hot, you know you should really do something but your just too sticky, and tired to move! Yup, we are there.
School starts back up for Lily soon, and we have begun shopping for supplies and thinking about activities, as well as searching for a little school for Sir Eli too! Things are busy, to say the least but we were fortunate enough to have had some vacation time last week and it was awesome, and very well deserved by all!
I have been thinking a lot about goals, and habits, and creating solid steps in order to reach those goals lately. One of mine is to participate in O2X which is a 5 plus mile run up Loon Mountain. Sounds crazy, but I just want to complete it and say that I did so with my best efforts. So needless to say, I have upped the anty on my training schedule this past week and a half, I have only about 7 weeks left to train.
I am reframing my thought process a lot during this training, and so far so good. (meditation daily is helping me as well)
So here are 5 tips on creating habits that may be of help:
- Identify the BIG picture goal. Keep it simple; lose weight, gain energy, or just be able to run around with the kids.
- Create a specific process or activity that you want to add, and figure out how much time is needed and/or you want to dedicate to the new activity. i.e. walking 20 minutes every morning, or 3 strength training session per week, that kind of thing.
- Set some behaviors and commit to them. This is a good one; have your gym bag packed and ready in the car so you can drive there before work or after, no excuses or reasons to get distracted.
- Visualize the process, start to finish. Sounds hokey but actually see yourself doing whatever it is you are setting out to do; starting at the finishing line, what your wearing, who is watching you, what does the day look like, all the way to finally crossing that line!
- Keep mindful of obstacles that may get in the way. For example, "I might not make it to the gym if I stay at work 10 minutes later chatting because then I will definitely hit traffic!" Think about this kind of scenario, and plan!
This is simple stuff, if you use it , it will work for you.
Need more help? Contact me and we will plan it all out together!

Considering the alarming number of nearly 70,000 deaths from opioid addiction in 2017- public health experts and scientists are looking for more measures to decrease this number. Part of their action being to assure that the clinics and rehab facilities are using the latest science to treat their patients.
Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.businessinsider.com
Considering the alarming number of nearly 70,000 deaths from opioid addiction in 2017, public health experts and scientists are looking for more measures to decrease this number. Part of their action is assuring that the clinics and rehab facilities are using the latest science to treat their patients.
One of the requirements of the program is to introduce medication-assisted treatments; such as naltrexone, which is known to curb the cravings and should make the withdrawal an easier process. Although it has been proven to help reduce the number of deaths caused by drugs and opioid addiction, it continues to be controversial. Many clinics still refuse to use it on their patients, instead recommending them to totally abstain from all kind of medication, while being guided by programs like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.
According to a study published in the Journal of Addiction Medicine in 2011, only half of the private treatment programs offer access to medication for their patients, and from that number, only a third of them actually receive them, despite all the studies that show the benefits and effectiveness of this medication. "These treatments are life-saving and they work," said Sarah Wakeman, the medical director of the at Massachusetts General Hospital and an assistant professor at Harvard, to Business Insider in April.
One of the reasons the number of medication-assisted treatments used for opioid addiction is very low is because although these medications provide important results and are even life-saving in some situations, they are very hard to obtain.
Generally, medication-assisted treatments have a bad reputation because they are still viewed as a replacement for the pills a person with an addiction used, and only encourages them to follow a repeated pattern of addiction. But this is not true at all because it has no scientific back-up, they curb the cravings and reduce the risk of relapse, creating another addiction not being among the effects.
Therefore, as part of this new program, treatment centers will be required to provide medication-assisted treatments, along with all the information needed. As a result, the center will receive a higher grade and its services will be classified as of a higher quality.
And the good news is that things are starting to change and improve. Physicians, social workers and other specialized persons are starting to promote and redirect attention to the benefits of medication-assisted treatments and how they are better that the abstinence-only ones.

The provincial government is undertaking a province-wide consultation process to address the housing supply in Ontario
The provincial government has begun an extensive consultation process called the Housing Supply Action Plan to explore the best ways to increase housing options for Ontario homebuyers. The consultation focuses on five areas: the length of time it takes to get development projects approved; the number of restrictions as to what type of housing can be built; development costs; renting; and innovative ways to increase housing supply.
Currently it takes years for a homebuilder to get the shovels in the ground on a housing project. Over the last 15 years a number of regulations and more red tape have been added to the process making it incredibly challenging to get a project off of the ground. The cost to home builders for navigating their way through the sea of red tape, public consultations and often times court battles with special interests groups, who are opposed to a project, can be in the millions. Add to that the various taxes (about 25 per cent of a cost of a new home is tax) and homes in Ontario quickly become unaffordable.
Mark Basciano, president of Mountainview Homes in Niagara, said he's pleased to see the consultation process taking place. "Personally, I like their approach. I like that the government is talking to the people who are actually in the industry like home builders, developers and also the consumers."
Basciano was frank with his assessment of the previous Liberal government when it came to how they handled the homebuilding industry in Ontario. "The other government was arrogant. Their decisions had unintended consequences."
On a more local front, Basciano has his own views on what would help reduce red tape in Niagara. "As a taxpayer, not a home builder, I feel we need less government. You want to talk about red tape? Look at Niagara. Nothing even comes close to comparing to this region."
Jon Whyte, who is the Regions' Development and Industry Consultant, said, "There is a lack of supply in Ontario and it's having an impact on Niagara." Whyte points out that because people from the greater Toronto area are moving to Niagara in search of housing affordability, that increased demand for housing locally is creating supply constraints of our own, further escalating pricing and displacing local residents who can no longer afford to buy a home in Niagara.
Whyte said that the Region is compiling data on local housing supply and demand challenges which will illustrate in greater detail the local implications of where housing will be required, what form and densities will be required, the affordability pressures based on housing type, municipality, income levels, and other factors. "Basically, this housing data analysis will help illustrate the extent of the problem locally, and set projections for the future," explained Whyte. A report on this data is expected to be completed by the summer.
The industry has said all along that the more restrictions put on home builders and the longer it takes to get approvals, results in a lower supply of homes and increased costs to the consumer.
Chuck McShane, Executive Officer of the Niagara Home Builders' Association said it's good to see the government undertaking this consultation process. "The most important thing is they are talking to the people who are building homes, who are on the front lines of this business and getting real, honest feedback about what's working and what it isn't."
"It will be very tough to get affordable housing without housing affordability," added McShane.
Mike Collins-Williams, Director of Policy for the Ontario Home Builders' Association said that province-wide many communities are dealing with what Niagara is. "The bottom line is that the demand for housing in many communities is exceeding what home builders can deliver under the current framework. The reason for that is the provincial and municipal policies," explained Collins-Williams.
He said while there is no silver bullet to fix the problem, Ontario home builders are optimistic that the Ford government is truly looking at transformative change that will be beneficial to builders and buyers.
The Region will be writing and submitting its response to the Housing Supply Action Plan with input from the 12 municipalities.

I've sent messages, and they've gone to the Outbox, instead of under "Sent messages" or "Unread messages". I have not gotten a reply on any one of them despite the fact that the recipients are all star ambassadors who minutes before had asked me to PM them. Neither has any of them joined the game in question.
Does the message staying in the Outbox mean that it hasn't reached the recipient's Inbox for whatever reason?

- Sophia Linden in Pendlebury
- and Salford's youngest ever councillor, Laura Edwards in Walkden South.
I am extremely pleased to see such a diverse array of representatives for the people of this city join us in the council chamber.
Knowing several of the new councillors as I do, I am certain the people of this city will be greatly served by our new intake.
I'd also like to pay tribute to a friend, colleague and member of the Mayoral Team for all her hard work, dedication and commitment to the residents of Kersal ward and Salford. Ann-Marie will be sadly missed but I'm optimistic we'll see her return to the Labour benches at some point in the near future.
Once again, the people of Salford returned an overwhelming Labour council at the recent local election – and a huge mandate for our government in this city. However, national concerns regarding our party's response to claims of anti-semitism were clearly heard on the doorstep in the city during the campaign, and this is an issue which as a party I believe we must deal with robustly, fairly and decisively if we are to maintain the trust placed in us by the people of Salford, and particularly our Jewish community.
But overwhelmingly, the people of this city responded to Labour's message of hope, optimism and social-equity - a campaigning voice for the people of Salford as government austerity continues to ravage our services. It is a testament to the knowledge and acumen of the people of this city that government's attempts to 'devolve' austerity haven't stuck - that the people of Salford know who the real culprit is.
This afternoon, I unfortunately won't be able to stay for the installation of the Ceremonial Mayor as I will be taking the train down to London to meet with government over funding of Early Years education, in particular the Direct Schools Grant (DSG).
As many of you will be aware, I have been a part of a parent and staff-led campaign for fairer funding for Salford's remaining 5 Local Authority Nurseries launched after changes to the DSG forced us to reconsider their viability. Changes now require the Local Authority to 'passport through' 95% of the DSG to non-Local Authority providers of Early Years education, effectively on to the private sector. The government has also promised '30 hours free provision' of childcare to 'working parents'... parents earning over a certain level of income in work.
The hourly rate for childcare providers is paid directly out of the DSG, massively increasing the demand on that budget.
Combined, these two policies have created a situation where our traditional funding for the nurseries via the DSG is called into question. These 5 nurseries, each rated 'Outstanding' by OFSTED, provide an incredible service to parents in Salford - and particularly to children with special educational needs. The nurseries all operate in areas of high deprivation (according to the government's own IMD) and are well regarded by many of our schools.
However, as Local Authority providers they are not recognised in the government's drive to privatise early years' education and turn councils into commissioner's, rather than providers, of services in the city. At the meeting I will be making the case to the Minister for a revision of the Early Years funding formula, to reflect the needs of Local Authority run nurseries such as those in Salford. This also comes at a time when the National Association of Head Teachers at the end of last month published the findings of a survey, highlighting that the government's commitment to 30 hours free provision for working parents:
- Has displaced 3 and 4 year olds entitled to only 15 hours.
- Is impacting disadvantaged 2 year olds because they're deemed more expensive' because of the staff to child ratio of 1:4.
- Has resulted in 10% or fewer low-income families eligible for the Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) accessing the 30 hours free provision.
It is not right that outstanding nurseries, catering to deprived neighbourhoods and children with SEND are not considered valuable by a government committed to the ideological destruction of public services.
It is not right that through simple merit of not being administered by a school, our nurseries have been deprived access to the £55m pot of 'transitional funding' available for 'Maintained Nursery Schools' to protect them from closure because of cuts and austerity. It is not right that hundreds of nurseries, both public and private, are facing closure across the country as a direct result of government's changes in hourly rates to fund 30 hours free childcare care for selected 'working parents'.
Our government claims to care about early needs - but clearly are willing to sacrifice quality, experience where it fits their privatization agenda.
I will fight these changes for the people of Salford, but I am glad to say that the nurseries campaign - UNISON, parents and staff - are fighting at my side.
The people of this city recognise that budgeting during Tory austerity is more difficult than robbing Peter to pay Paul - they have seen through the devolution 'trap' the Tories have set the people of this country. The only answer to endless cuts from government is the election of a Labour government.
July 5th will see the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the NHS.
Though there is talk of celebration and commemoration for this incredible institution that has served our country so well, the anniversary event is bound to be a sad one. The NHS is saddled in debt, accrued through the pernicious reforms of Thatcher, New Labour and the Tories under Jeremy Hunt. From the introduction of Hospital Trusts onwards, NHS reform has been committed to an agenda of fragmentation, commissioning out services and bringing in internal market 'competition'.
As a result of endless re-organization and the imposition of market reforms, the NHS is now practically on its knees. By the end of December 2017, NHS Trusts reported debts of £1.281bn, up from £761m the previous year. Healthcare spending in the UK is a fraction of that of other EU nations at 8.5% of GDP (the EU average is 10.1% and the OECD average is 9.1%). The Tories are squeezing Britain's healthcare to breaking point.
And it is the wasteful privatization agenda which bears the heaviest burden for this failure. The NHS currently has over 100 PFI funded hospitals, making up a total spend of £11.5bn. By the time these contracts have been paid back, the taxpayer will have paid out over £80bn.
Still, in these times of cutbacks and austerity, our Labour Party in Salford is still able to offer glimmers of hope and improvement.
It was my honour to announce the opening of the new birthing centre at Ingleside in April. The centre provides state of the art facilities in the comfort of the beautiful grounds of Oakwood Park. Its opening was a victory which could not have been achieved without the tireless efforts of Labour Party members and local Salford residents, who spent hours on the streets of this city collecting signatures for petitions and raising money through our crowd-funding campaign.
Over £100,000 was raised by the people of this city to go towards the centre, which simply could not have opened without that support. People Power made sure that despite cuts and loss of services, babies are still able to be born in this city - maintaining our sense of heritage, community and identity. But despite some successes, Tory incompetence at a national level is having a devastating impact on the communities of this city.
This is the party of low tax, which forces Local Authorities to plug deficits created by austerity cuts each year by raising precepts and base rates of council tax. It is the pro-work Tories who have introduced pernicious welfare reforms, pushing thousands of families into insecurity and destitution.
Early signs show that the introduction of Universal Credit - widely panned as a terrible and cruel system - when combined with the Bedroom Tax, benefit caps and wider welfare reforms will contribute to the epidemic of homelessness and rough-sleeping currently sweeping across our city, city region and country.
And it is through their economic incompetence and the ludicrous logic of austerity that Britain is now the slowest-growing economy in the G20 according to the OECD, with a productivity crisis looming in addition to an impending skills shortage exacerbated by Brexit. Meanwhile, Ministers cherry-pick pet projects on which to splurge their cash.
£70m handed out to Cambridge City Council for council housing in one of the wealthiest regions of the country, as a bribe to encourage the city into a local devolution deal.
£50m to expand grammar schools, whilst our public provision suffers yearly cutbacks.
£56bn for HS2, whilst Northern England's rail infrastructure rusts and creaks under the strain of many hundreds of thousands of commuters - and the Northern Powerhouse dream is sidelined.
Whilst public services from the police, to the fire-service, the NHS to the DWP and local government are starved of the finances they need, central government spending continues to spiral out of control.
Meanwhile, crime is skyrocketing, poverty is on the increase and we are seeing the re-emergence of what was once referred to as the 'working poor'.
In January I launched Salford Council's pioneering research into conditions in the private rented sector in Salford - 'Precarious Lives'. The paper detailed the appalling conditions that Salfordians increasingly expect to live in, in our ever-expanding private rented sector.
When nearly 40% of homes sold under Right to Buy have become private lettings, and no subsidy is made available for the building of social housing and councils are restricted from building council housing (despite repeated public promises from Theresa May), increasing numbers of individuals are seeing property as an asset from which to make money from potential renters.
With that, we have seen an explosion in house prices creating a vicious circle of un-affordability,
…in which renters are charged ever higher rates to live in properties,
…whilst home-ownership becomes ever-more the preserve of a diminishing numbers of elites.
In our paper, residents revealed their fears about retaliatory evictions for requesting repairs, psychological instability brought on by short-term tenures (as short as 6 months) and poor conditions such as damp and mould severe enough to compromise the structure of the buildings in which they lived.
This is not Victorian era Britain - this is 21st Century Salford. Yet increasingly working families are being exposed to this kind of impoverishment. According to UNICEF, 1 in 5 British children under the age of 15 suffers from food insecurity, making us the 34th in performance against the top 41 richest developed nations.
In cities like London, Birmingham and Manchester nearly half of all children now grow up in poverty. But despite these tremendous challenges, Salford Council still leads the way in making progress for the people of this city. We are the fastest growing region in GM, both economically and in terms of population. The Local Authority's investments into our city over 30 years has kick-started investment in digital and tech industries at Salford Quays, making Salford one of the best places to invest in the United Kingdom.
Major companies continue to be attracted to the city, bringing with them much needed business rates, jobs and professional services.
- Indian IT giant Tech Mahindra have opened their 'HQ for North' in Salford creating 60 new jobs.
- HMRC have announced their relocation to Two New Bailey to take the entire building on a 25 year lease.
- Kellogg's have moved 420 staff to Orange Tower in MediaCity after almost 30 years in Old Trafford
- and The Incremental Group have joined the digital and tech sector at MediaCity and will employ 60 staff by 2020.
Further to these successes, Salford is fast becoming the ideal destination for Channel 4's relocation of its out of London HQ and creative hubs.
To make sure that residents of Salford benefit from these opportunities, our ambitious Digital Inclusion programme: 'Digital You' will see 8,000 of our most vulnerable residents gaining basic digital skills and getting on-line by 2020. Without this growth, the outlook for our city would be bleak. This growth has been predicated on 30 years worth of brave investment decisions from this city's Labour council - plugging the gap where the market has failed and creating opportunities for ordinary people.
The Salford Story disproves the Tory narrative of austerity and small government working best for growth. This city shows the importance of a proactive Local Government in shaping and directing the market to best serve the needs of the people, and providing services for those who need it the most.
Despite our hardship, it is with great pride that I look upon the achievements of this great city over the past few decades - and strive to continue to do justice to the judgement of my predecessors.

What is medication? "A drug to diagnose, cure, or treat, or prevent a disease." So says Wikipedia. Merriam-Webster says more nebulously, "the act or process of medicating;" or, "a medicinal substance." The OED defines it as, "drug or other form of medicine that is used to prevent disease."
As society becomes more and more connected, and humans continue to live longer, the definition keeps subtly shifting. Technology is being integrated not only into our daily lives via lap-tops, but also via changing treatments such as stem cell research, and the growth of new tissue. It's an exciting time to be alive, and a disconcerting time as well. The borders between, "technology," and, "human," are melting away. This is certainly becoming readily apparent in popular movies such as, "Alita, Battle Angel."
All creatures are born with the drive to survive. If that is not consistently fulfilled, it becomes injured. There are so many creatures out there now, with a simple need to feel grounded by real earth or have home and food needs met. It is no wonder that it pervades the common spiritual need, and it is a greater psychic need.
Where do people turn to to fill simple, small needs that one might not consider injuries, but are in fact expressions of psychic needs? Common expressions are over-using caffeine, sugar, and alcohol. Co-dependencies of any kind, such as food, sex, validation, smoking, prescription or non-prescription drugs are all an expression of a wound.
Unfortunately, simple anxieties are triggered very easily in modern society. Living close together in cities, long workdays, loneliness, and dissociation are all quite common.
These anxieties are often relatively easily alleviated with simple, repeated treatment, but often the anxiety gets so bad that self-medication has simply gotten out of control. People with pre-existing trauma have an extra-hard time with this. Those who are destined to be wounded healers have first the task of trekking through their own issues before they aid others.
How can people in the spiritual community take note, and aid others to fulfill, instead of overfill? Begin with the self. It always behooves one to look inwards. Equally important, examining how one's anxieties are affecting one's simple interactions in the world. Healing with the elements, relaxing, breathing, and allowing oneself to feel the literal or figurative ground beneath allows the entire group to feel more relaxed and at ease. It's that simple.
Breathing and allowing the energy to flow through you can be called being a channel, and it's easy to be a channel for the wrong feelings. Being a talented channel for the positive and soothing feelings of a single person or a group and or a vessel takes practice and dedication. Sometimes there are those who call themselves mirrors or sponges. There are many people with these traits. It can be a bit dangerous for those who discover it, and find that suddenly people start to avoid them for some unknown reason. Seeing one's true self in the mirror is addictive, at first. Then it gets embarrassing, seeing all those little flaws. Sound familiar?
Anxiety is a noted awakening of kundalini. Learning how to control this energy is a natural process. Whether it is or not anxiety is associated with kundalini, it is recognised that meditation helps anxiety in many cases.
In order to help others in the community that are not as awake, being a stabilising channel is a good course of action. It is good to note that a new person on the path may cling if one is the only person around with clean energy. Setting firm boundaries and modeling good behaviour is absolutely necessary. Suggesting but not dictating a correct path is also good. The path of excellence is always a choice for others, and it is their interpretations and life to choose.
Medicating oneself or being medication for others is not appropriate. This is different from giving aid out of compassion or being loving to oneself. Generosity should be delineated from prescription.
Integrity of the body, mind, and spirit should always be kept as the goal, but it doesn't work when one has surgery or a chronic illness requiring medication. So where do these ideas meet? In the alembic of personal belief systems.
We medicate ourselves – over and under our personal boundaries. Aiding one another to the path we are each meant to follow, we raise the other higher.

Hello Everyone,
I am not sure about how shall I begin this but I am pretty sure about what I want to say. It's about every wonderful woman around. Now please men! don't draw your inferences that this is another feminist post or male shamming post. No it's not. It's about three important "E"s that should be an integral part of any woman's life. They are:
- Education
- Earning
- Evolving & Exploring
Educate yourself: Don't let anything or anyone come in your path where you are trending and striving to enrich and enhance your knowledge. I remember clearly what did Michelle Obama once said " Had I concentrated on how I looked instead of aspiring big would you think it was possible for me to be the first lady of USA. No guy is cute enough to distract you from your goal" (forgive me for discrepancies as I am not copying the text but reproducing what I read, I may be wrong in quoting but not summarising). She exactly meant that no matter what, education should never take a back seat while rest of the things can wait. So if you are a young girl, study hard before you party harder later in life 😋. If you are a woman, well you can still educate yourself with new things in life and world. Education shall never be narrowly defined by the degrees one receives but how enhanced it leaves the outlook. Your education shall aim at making a better person out of you and definitely those certificates don't harm either, do they?😉
Earn – Well this seems to be a tricky issue. For many it is a matter of need where they share the responsibility of running a household or even shoulder the entire responsibility. Question is what if that responsibility is being taken care of well by the male counterparts, would she or does she have to stop earning? I think "NO" unless her health / mental peace is at stake. Even if she is not under the thumb of responsibilities she should work (not talking about chores, they anyways don't leave us alone😀😉). Because it's not about the monthly salary but it's about her aspirations, her independence, her dignity and more importantly about her happiness of being self-reliant. Working for self and being self-reliant makes her less vulnerable to the uncertainties of life (you can have a different view-point).
Evolve & Explore: Grab any opportunity that life throws at you to learn a new thing. Driving, swimming, a new language, any form of art – be it the need of the hour or a self urge. Evolving self helps not only to explore world (meet people, go places, know new things be it a practice or a myth or a fact) but explore a new dimension of ourselves and of course a sense of achievement at the end of the journey. It's imperative for our existence as a human. So never stop evolving yourself and exploring.
A close look at the above mentioned aspects reflect the fact that they are like three strings of yarn woven tightly together making them inseparable. This is how it is:
- Education helps one "Earn" knowledge and "Evolve" as a person having strong viewpoints.
- Earning helps one to "Educate" with skills as well as about the world thus "Evolving" as a person with competence.
It's just like a circle biting its own ends😁.
Important rules we all must remember:
- Never fear your voice being unheard without letting it out. Speak up!
- The three important "E"s mentioned above, age is no bar – never.
So dear woman you are never too old to liberate yourself from perhaps your own idea of yourself – "I am just it". Go for it and be a happy woman you always wanted to be.

To guarantee the quality of products, it is necessary to do quality control before delivery. XinLiLai Casting is a company certified by ISO 9001 and TS 16949. We can offer you rigorous quality inspection methods and process. Chemical spectral analysis, tensile test, hardness test and NDT test are all available here. We have committed to high quality casting parts and we are confident with our testing procedure.
Visual Inspection
According to the investment casting industry standards and specific requirements of our customers, visual inspection is required to ensure good casting quality. In XinLiLai Casting, we don't just spot check our products we produce. All the casting components are carefully inspected 100% by our trained quality controllers, so that any casting with surface defects must be picked out immediately, which is the first step to ensure the perfect finished product quality. And every inspection result of our products will be documented and filed. Why Visual inspection is important is that even the smallest defect could lead to severe consequences in the performance of the products.
Dimensional Inspection
Even if all the products pass visual inspection and looks perfect, it doesn't mean we can pack them and send to our customers. Dimensional inspection is another test to they need to pass. Investment casting process can help to obtain precise dimensions for the products. However, we still a double check. In this case, dimensional inspection is necessary. Below are the common dimensional inspection methods mostly used in our foundry.
1) Measuring tools are a direct and simple way to test the dimensions and tolerances by hand. Common measuring tools for investment castings include: vernier caliper, depth indicator, dial indicator, etc. To make sure all the products are qualified dimensionally, they will be measured by these tools one by one according to the drawing.
2) Testing gauge is usually used when dimensions cannot be tested by measuring tools directly. For example, it is often use to inspect dimensions of threaded holes.
Chemical Composition Analysis
Our customers always have strict chemical composition requirements of their products, because their different applications. Any omission of the chemical composition of elements can bring huge trouble to our customers. Likewise, XinLiLai takes it seriously and offers our exceptional chemical composition testing services by spectrographic instrument four times before delivery: raw material elements analysis, before and during the pouring process, and after the casting or heat treatment. The results of the elements composition tested by spectrograph will be compared to see if they are within the required range. Again, all the testing results will be filler for future trace.
Mechanical Properties Testing
Mechanical properties are vital to the performance of the products. Mechanical testing is to test mechanical properties, to make sure these properties will meet our customers' requirements. The following are some mechanical properties testing will be done to confirm proper casting quality.
Hardness testing
Tensile testing
Electrical low pressure testing
NDT Testing
It is always difficult to find the surface and inner defects by naked eyes, especially when you can't any destruction to the components. However, Non-Destructive Testing allows us to do such testings without destroying them. The common methods we mostly use in XinLiLai include magnetic particle testing and dye penetrant inspection for surface detects, X-ray inspection and ultrasonic testing for inner defects. We have a long-term cooperation with our non-destructive testing partners to produce high-quality casting components for different industrial applications.
Of course, we can also do other NDT for investment castings. Please call us for your next casting project with such requirement.
Quality control is quite important for us to deliver high quality products. We are committed to quality casting parts and confident with our testing procedure. Please trust us and let us be one of your professional and reliable investment casting partners in China.

The way it was being talked about it was as if we were suggesting that people have to drive at the speed of milk floats.
HolyHosesRob (as opposed to EineKleineRob - I now to distinguish them) sent in this letter to the Guardian:
Before the whiners of the road lobby come out of the woodwork to complain about a more rigourous enforcement of the 70 mph speed limit, let me say that this is a really good idea that will have numerous other benefits.
I've timed my own 80-mile journey to work both sticking to and exceeding the speed limit. The maximum difference in journey time was about four minutes. This is because speeding vehicles always meet slower vehicles ahead of them, which causes congestion, over-braking, tail-gating, the concertina effect, and accidents. I'm all for faster journey times and fewer hold-ups. We will all benefit if everybody slows down.

It seems pretty clear that the main plank of government policy towards patients is: let them book their GP appointments online.
The new contract says that 25% must be available online, and they are investing £6.3m in the NHS App with appointment booking the headline feature.
Yet we all know that anything which requires compulsion or bribery is probably a BAD IDEA. The badder it is, the bigger the bung. Good ideas have a life of their own and no government can stop them.
Online appointment booking has been a contractual item for years, and yet while everything travel, banking or retail is online, only about 4% of GP appointments have gone that way. The technology is there already – it's the GPs who don't want to release appointments for self booking.
They know that without reception as the intermediary, many will be taken by patients who don't need them, reducing equity of access for those in greater need. They are even paying receptionists from their own profits to suffer all the stress of turning patients away, rather than put everything online and leave the phone off the hook.
Yet we know that when they trust the practice to give them the help they need, patients don't even want appointments. We ask them how they would like to be contacted and were astonished to find the average at only 25% by face to face, some down at 11%, GPs begging them to come in.
"Super service thank you for implementing it. Much easier than an appointment" wrote a lady in Somerset today.
So we turn to the Pilot Evaluation of the NHS App. Credit for publishing this for comment within 3 months, but let's look at the detail:
- 34 practices, given lots of on site support and training over 3 months to 21/12/18
- 3,192 patients used it
- 337 appointments booked, and 106 cancelled.
Now I'm "just saying", as they say, but in the same period and with only 28 practices we had 100,000 patient submissions on askmyGP. No appointments were booked directly, but they all got help and about 30,000 had a face to face.
We're coming up to eight years old as a company and I've found it necessary many times to do the opposite of the zeitgeist. There's never any guidance on being counterintuitive and it's very costly, but what keeps me going is that it works.
I was at a Leicester practice this week for their training and the enthusiasm they have is infectious. Next week a couple more launch in Sheffield and Glasgow. They are all paying for themselves, taking control of their own workload. It's becoming unstoppable.
Two quick things to do now so as to see the difference:
1. Do the patient demo and get how easy it is, without being able to book an appointment at Bramley Demo Surgery.
2. See how easy it is to respond by signing up to the GP Demo, triage 50 real patient requests.
Summer is coming, don't spend evenings in the practice.

Advertising Boost states they could make it possible for you to double or triple your earnings, by simply giving away their free vacation packages.|} free vacation spots
Sounds cool. But since you're reading this, you are most likely skeptical. If that is so, I really don't blame you personally, there's a good deal of scams on the internet. So it's wise to do your own homework.
In this review, I will show you exactly what I found so you may decide by yourself.
Advertising Boost Review
The Advertising Boost site (AdvertisingBoost.com) asserts it's possible to double or triple your earnings using their services. In spite of the kind of business you operate and no matter what company you operate indoors.
As a consequence, you receive access to complimentary holiday packages, which you might then supply to your present clients or potential customers.
So for example you are able to give a totally free holiday/vacation to anybody who likes your business page on Facebook, opts to a email list, begins a free trial of your service or product or makes a purchase.
Whatever kind of"lead" or purchase you need, the person would fulfill whatever activities you require, to get this free vacation package.
So does this sort of promotion do the job?
Yes. Offering holiday incentives is a proven approach to construct your small business. Here are some quick thoughts:
Consider this. Who does not require a free vacation, just for sharing your article… or boosting your FB page?
However, the question is, why would be Advertising Boost the best way to benefit your customers?
Let's find out more.
Advertising Boost is a subscription-based holiday incentives program, employing a cost of $49 a month.
The retail value of those vacations is apparently anywhere from $585 to $1,500 and also the hotels are seemingly decent quality.
What's the catch?
To begin with, there is a limitation of a single certificate redemption per customer for travel in America and a single redemption away from the United States.
Secondly, the visitor must pay the hotel taxation, which ends up to a max of $19.70 daily based on this website… and possibly resort fees.
Aside from that there are seemingly"no strings attached".|}
Unlike some vacation bonus providers, recipients don't need to attend any sales or timeshare presentations.|}
Besides the packages themselves, members gain access to marketing materials. Such as business specific videos that will assist you sell folks on the notion.
There is also a bonus called"Ultimate Facebook Secrets" free of cost. That is seemingly a 6 hour step by step education about using Advertising Boost to crush it using Facebook advertising.
All this appears to be a fantastic thing. I mean, $49 a month is cheap in comparison to what other sites charge for this type of stuff.
How It Works
To begin using Advertising Boost, all you need to do will be sign up on their website for $49/mo.
There are no contracts and you may cancel at any moment.|}
The moment you are a member, you must start giving away free vacation packages to pretty much whomever you would like.
The Process apparently requires less than 30 minutes also:
When you adhere to the above mentioned activities to send someone a free holiday, the individual has 7 days to activate the holiday certificate. And around 18 months after that, to choose the dates they'd love to travel.
We help fill vacant rooms that the hotels, hotels turn into further revenue from different regions of their house and future reservations.
Hotels are rarely ever completely filled and it is far better to have a few earnings coming from (through room service, restaurant and pubs, hotel fees etc.. ) Than nothing at all.
So this idea works because everyone benefits in 1 manner or another. The receiver receives a free (or very low cost ) trip, it's likely to raise earnings and the hotel makes more income than if the place has been vacant.
So… which makes sense.
Personally, I signed up to an affiliate recently, and already made sales… so Im now a believer!!
From what I could see, Advertising Boost isn't a scam.|}

How good the bundles are and how they will do the job for you, is something only you can figure out for yourself… but like I stated earlier, I've already made sales|}
I guess one way to discover, is to sign up, go on a holiday of your own, see how things shake out. If nothing else, you get a fairly great bargain on a hotel stay!!
In this manner, you know exactly what people will be getting for this, before starting a marketing effort and putting your name behind it.
Don't hesitate to discuss your own personal experiences with Advertising Boost.

New business energy rules come into effect
Businesses unsure whether it would be best to switch energy supplier may be encouraged to compare electricity prices, as new Ofgem rules have come into effect today (April 28th).
Under the new proposals, companies will be required to inform customers of price rises 30 days before they are applied. This is a change from the previous guidelines which allowed them to notify consumers up to three months after increases had been put into practice.
Hannah Mummery from Consumer Focus explained the new methods will "give people the opportunity to budget for higher bills in advance" and allow them to consider the option of switching to a different tariff.
In March, Ofgem published a report criticising the industry for "failing" the people it serves and the organisation's chairman Lord Mogg said companies would be given eight weeks in which to respond to the plans.
Ms Mummery noted that it will be up to the regulator to apply pressure to suppliers until they provide a better service.

Every device that connects to the internet has an IP address. The router that connects to the internet has a forward facing IP address and you are probably connecting to the router's Wi-Fi network. Every device that connects to the Wi-Fi network has a unique IP address too. But how do you determine what IP address is assigned to your phone? The process is pretty easy. Tech Viral has a post with the details, including screenshots.
If you are an Android user, go to Settings, System (may be called Phone Information) and select the About Phone option. Tap the Status option to see the IP address, MAC address and other information. If you are an iOS user, go to Settings and tap on the Wi-Fi option. Select the network that you are currently connected to and you will see the address information.

text: Christopher Mihm's next film is now in pre-production. His last film Attack of the Moon Zombies, included an Esperanto soundtrack recorded by volunteer Esperantists across the U.S. This coming production will also have an Esperanto Dub track and I have been asked to be on the team of Translators. Hura! The quality of this translation and dub should be of even better quality than the last because we're already more organized. The last project we admittedly just dove right into. If you're at least adequate in Esperanto and want to help, I can put you in touch with our project leader, George Baker.


text: highway 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Hi I need to run labview VI's on a computer that has linux on it. I plan on only using the runtime engine on the linux computer and developing the vi's on a different computer. Can I develop the VI's using Labview on a computer that has windows as its operating system or do I need to develop them on a computer with linux? Thanks for you help.

Lots to do around the Dunphy-Pritchett houses. Claire (Julie Bowen) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) are working on the house they plan to flip, Phil (Ty Burrell) wants to teach Alex (Ariel Winter) and Haley (Sarah Hyland) how to be independent, Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) wants to help Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) with a bully at school...with Luke's (Nolan Gould) help, and Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria (Sofía Vergara) have to figure out who will hang out with whom when they split up parenting duties for Manny (Rico Rodriguez) and Joseph. (I'm taking these one at a time because going back and forth will just be confusing.)Claire and Cameron get along just fine when it comes to remodeling. Of course, each has a strategy for dealing with the other. Cam always shows Claire something insane first before "negotiating down" to the thing he really wanted, and Claire confuses Cam with a lot of numbers. Of course, this doesn't last long, so they need to bring in a third party when Cam wants to build a huge fountain (with a fire background). Pam, who's son plays with Lily, was a contractor, and despite the fact she hated Cameron and had the hots for Claire (damn she looked good in that shirt), offered a neutral opinion. The fountain was too much for someone who was just flipping a house. But Cam wouldn't hear the end of it, so he built a fountain with musically-timed waterspouts. Claire and Pam were quite impressed. They even loved the little goldfish he added. And if you're thinking you shouldn't put goldfish in the same water with a large pump, you would be correct.Phil was alarmed at how little Alex and Haley knew about doing maintenance in the house. (Alex not knowing how to use a broom? Really?) So the day was a little lesson for the two courtesy of Dad. He showed them how to replace a burned-out light bulb (which later fell on him), and he even showed what to do if the hot water heater wasn't working. However, the pilot light wouldn't start up for him and he sent them on their way to get a torque screwdriver. He had a method to his madness: he could then Skype his father, who stepped him through the process of fixing the heater. Of course, hearing how glad his father was when he called because it made him feel needed, Phil figured he'd let the girls slide because then they would always need him.Lily and the other kids were getting bullied quite a bit on the handball court at their school. (the outdoor kind, with a dodgeball...the school isn't THAT fancy) Mitchell wanted to help with the bully, so he took the little boy on in handball...and got so humiliated, Lily refused to acknowledge him as her father. It turns out Luke was quite the handball player, so Mitchell decided to get some lessons from him. Despite Luke making The Great Santini look like Robert Young, Mitchell came back to challenge the bully, saying he couldn't stay on the court if he beat him. Mitchell did defeat him, trash talking the entire way. To a five-year-old. And now Cam will have to drive Lily to school every day.Jay and Gloria had to divide parenting duties for the day. Jay figured he'd take Joe and 'convince' Gloria that she needed some bonding time with Manny because he was feeling left out with a younger brother around. The fact that Manny wanted to go to a reading of Moby Dick had NO effect on this plan whatsoever. However, Joe was crying only 20 minutes into it, but Jay took Joe to his playtime date anyway. However, with Joe being completely asleep and Jay not wanting to waste $50 on a "hippie with a puppet" when Joe would never see it, he instead took Joe to bond. James Bond, that is. Jay took Joe to see Skyfall thinking he wouldn't wake up. But of course, like every Bond villain, he gave too much of the plot away and Joe woke up. Thankfully, an old friend of Claire's happened to be there and didn't want to be in the theater...once Daniel Craig has his shirt back on...and offered to calm Joe outside the theater. Just in time for Gloria and Manny to pass by. Needless to say, Gloria was absolutely livid with Jay, and no amount of promising to take Manny to the Moby Dick reading the next day would make up for it. But Manny blew the whistle on her, saying she told him the reading was sold out and they went shopping instead. The reading wasn't sold out. But Jay definitely made up for it by reading the book to both Manny and Joe.

BAGHDAD, Oil prices rose today amid OPEC-led supply cuts and US sanctions on crude-exporting from Venezuela and Iran, but price gains were limited by record US crude production and growing commercial fuel stocks.
US West Texas Intermediate crude futures were $ 57.31 a barrel, up nine cents, or 0.8 percent, from the previous settlement.
Brent crude was $ 66.54 a barrel, up 23 cents, or 0.4 percent.
