Hygrometers, both analog and digital are much more useful than many people think. Come and see -you will also discover how digital hygrometers (or a humidity data logger) can help your business. If humidity is an important factor in your business you should be using hygrometers to monitor and document it.

Cigars

It is common knowledge that cigars should be kept in a certain level of humidity. A data logger that samples humidity in addition to temperature will quickly let you know if something’s wrong with your cigars’ inventory. Standard or digital hygrometers will be helpful, but since they lack the memory function you will never know about temperature and humidity fluctuations which can ruin your whole inventory. You should use a humidity data logger that will be able to warn you if something went wrong.

Museums

Digital hygrometers are also very important for museums and art galleries, especially if they exhibit paintings and valuable art works. Again, if you’re going to employ hygrometers there, it’ll be a good idea to purchase a humidity data logger with remote sensors. This way you will be able to check and compare all the gathered data over a period of time. This will alert you to dangerous trends and help identify periodic fluctuations which can cause damage to the art.

Problem

The big problem with data loggers is that they need a linked PC in order to work. Only few of them (ThermaViewer is one of the examples) can work independently, so you usually have to have your PC working round the.

Solution

We recommend that you use the ThermaViewer. It not only performs the data logger function but also displays a chart of the temperature and humidity on a large display where you can see it all the time. It needs no additional equipment, maintenance or supplies.

According to Founder Matthew Marotta, “Datacraft Solutions’ Internet-based on-demand delivery platform offers key benefits from the very beginning of an implementation - namely, the elimination of lengthy, complicated and expensive infrastructure upgrades before a company can even begin to see positive ROI. There is simply no faster or easier way to begin exploiting the power of Digital Kanban in a lean manufacturing operation.”

Datacraft Solutions, Inc. (www.datacraftsolutions.com) based in Durham, North Carolina is experiencing huge growth with their Lean Manufacturing Digital Kanban solution. In addition to double staff in past few months, the firm has coordinated several strategic alliances, including MetaOps, based in Livonia, Michigan.

Ron Crabtree, CPIM, CIRM, is an internationally recognized expert and author in cutting-edge business process improvement methodologies. Crabtree, President of MetaOps, has spent several thousand hours providing training and facilitation for large and small groups, in hundreds of organizations internationally on a wide range of topics. He has more than thirty years of experience in a variety of business settings from small privately held manufacturers, to Fortune 100 corporations and leading global management consulting firms.

Crabtree is focused on the new strategic alliance with Datacraft Solutions, “Because I have been benchmarking Lean-enabling technologies for many years and have not seen anything so easy to launch for businesses of any size to put a kanban/pull systems implementation on steroids. I especially like the fact that it does not matter what infrastructure you and your trading partners have - all that is needed is internet access and a willing team to capitalize on the speed, accuracy and discipline an IT-enabled kanban management system offers.”

Marotta is equally delighted about the strategic alliance with MetaOps. “It is critical that we align ourselves with others, who like us; strive to bring high value to clients by raising the bar in continuous process improvement through disciplined, practical, and repeatedly proven methodologies. We are pleased to have found this in MetaOps.”

What is CCTV?

CCTV stands for Closed Circuit Television and is designed for a
limited number of viewers (in a controlled manner) as opposed to
broadcast TV which is designed for mass viewing.

It differs from broadcast TV because all the components are
linked together (generally by cables) to create a `closed’ loop.

CCTV is often used in areas where there is an increased need for
security, such as banks, casinos, airports, motorways and
increasingly in public areas such as train stations and central
business districts in most cities.

Initially developed as a means of increasing security in banks
and other high risk businesses, CCTV is increasingly finding its
way into small business and homes due to its ease of
installation and operation and the continued reduction in
pricing thanks to many domestic style products introduced in
recent years.

It should be noted that CCTV is not exclusively the domain of
security surveillance, but is regularly used in manufacturing
process monitoring for QA purposes, for inspecting pipes,
chimneys or even the underside of a ships hull.

For our purposes we will be discussing CCTV in its most common
form, which is as a security surveillance system.

Video surveillance introduction

>From a single camera and monitor to complex video surveillance
systems with hundreds of cameras, multiple operators, and
digital recorders, closed circuit television (CCTV) systems can
provide security for a wide range of businesses.

A good CCTV system can make your business safer, more efficient,
and less prone to theft and accidents. Specifically, CCTV can
provide many benefits: - Reduce shrinkage by catching
shoplifters

- deter potential thieves

- monitor cash
registers

- record evidence to prevent bogus accident
claims

- identify visitors and employees

- monitor
hazardous work areas

- increase security in and around
business premises and parking lots

- meet insurance
requirements

The most basic CCTV setup would be a single camera connected
directly to a monitor and a recorder to store the video. While a
setup like this could help security in some cases, it is
unlikely to be enough for most businesses. Most situations call
for multiple cameras.

Evaluating Your CCTV Needs

Before starting to compare systems or choose potential vendors,
sit down and consider your CCTV needs carefully.

First, you should decide what the purpose of the CCTV system is.
Is it primarily to act as a deterrent of potential crimes or to
actually catch and prosecute perpetrators? Both can be
important, but your priority will influence your purchasing
decisions. If you are more interested in deterring certain
activities, large, visible cameras are your best bet. Trying to
catch criminals on video without them being aware of it requires
discrete or hidden cameras. Hidden cameras in many countries can
be illegal or may only be used by court order - so check with
your CCTV professional before installation.

Next, consider what you want to monitor. General comings and
goings? Vehicles? Do you want to see faces, merchandise, crowds?
Once you decide what you want to see, choosing components will
become easier.

Then, decide how the images will be used. Do you want to use
them for your own review or will your require that they are able
to be printed for facial identification or even for admission in
a court of law. This will have a big impact on the method you
use to record the images and the quality of the cameras, lenses
and recorder you will require.

Also consider how your system will be monitored. Will you simply
record at all times, and only review the video when a problem
occurs? Or will you have a dedicated employee watching for
events? Do you want a monitor showing images in public areas?

Three Things To Consider

1. Avoid dummy cameras. While they may deter some problems, they
also can create a legal liability by creating an expectation of
safety when none exists, plus staff soon learn which ones are
active and which ones aren’t.

2. Put up signs. Highly
visible signage that lets customers and employees know that they
are being filmed can greatly increase the deterrent effect. This
is actually a legal requirement in many countries.

3. Do not
record audio. Most CCTV systems do not include audio monitoring
for the simple reason that it is generally illegal. People in
public places can be videotaped without their consent, but their
voices cannot.

Choosing a CCTV Installer

Once you know the basic requirements of what you want to see and
how you want to use your CCTV system, it is time to call a CCTV
installer to get a professional view and price up the supply and
installation. A professional installer will be able to tell you
how to best achieve the results of the system you will be
installing. That will include the positioning of cameras, the
selection of equipment to meet your requirements and budget.

It is important that a potential installer for your job provides
references of customers, they have current correct licensing (if
applicable for your area) and I always recommend getting a
breakdown of the equipment component versus the labour component
of a quote.

Don’t just go for the cheapest option unless you are purely
using the system as a deterrent. You should evaluate the
capability of the installer, the warranty offered on the
equipment, the warranty offered on the installation (ie cables),
what level of training do they provide and what level of after
sales technical support do they offer.

If you have opted to go with a modern digital CCTV installation,
unless you are completely familiar with the system, you will
require technical support, especially when that first time comes
that you need to export video onto a CD or DVD to give to the
police. At that time, how sure are you that the person/company
that installed the system will be able to provide you with the
required assistance.

As a final note on potential installers - never ever choose an
installer that doesn’t do a full inspection of the site in which
the installation will take place. If they haven’t seen the site
they cannot know of any potential issues that may cause them to
need to adjust the price (always up) or take shortcuts that will
affect your systems performance.

Once your system has been installed, make sure you and any other
staff that may use the system make the time available to be
trained. Don’t skip this point as you have spent good money on a
system and you will need to use it at some point.

In future articles I will write about choosing cameras, DVRs,
monitors and other equipment that will go to make up your CCTV
system. For more information on CCTV and to find an installer in

The Internet is a vast place, full of amazing potential and incredible synergies. The Internet is also a huge place that can become confusing if you don’t navigate it in the right way.

One thing you learn in the beginning of learning your online marketing strategy is that there are two schools of thought.

One school of thought is that you should gather as much information as you can find sift through it and find your niche, your angle, and your own way to go about developing your online Internet marketing strategy.

The second school of thought the one I follow his sift through the information, but look for common denominator that is within all of the information to develop a basic foundation from which everything else can be compared against.

In other words build your foundation so you have something to contrast other people’s information against not just following the path blindly but understanding the path.

When the Internet started out a lot of people had thoughts on where it could go and what kind of marketing potential the Internet had, but nobody dreamed that online marketing would reach the heights that it has today! One of the best things about the Internet and marketing sense is that even the little guy has leverage.

It doesn’t take an extraordinary amount of money or effort to do what the big companies can do on the Internet, in fact everyone is pretty much on equal ground as far as that’s concerned.

So if you ever wanted to start your own company didn’t have the marketing power to do it for the money you may want to consider the Internet as your marketing source.

A bank in Palo Alto California or so can have a total totally different actual rate for a 27500 dollar bank loan then a merchant bank in Amarillo Texas and that makes a large clear gap in your monthly pay backs. 15.7 percent loan rate may look so clean but will that be the same after you have to pay off your money loan. This is why now you need to check up on and look if you can have a loan at a right percent rate of interest.

Translated it says: Woon je in Koggenland of Huizen en hebt u BKR codering. Lenen met een BKR notering is nergens zo eenvoudig. Haal snel een andere auto met bkr geldproblemen, 253445 euro is altijd mogelijk om te financieren. Van Bellingwedde tot Nijmegen, financieren met zonder BKR registratie is hier geen enkel probleem.

Now you can check out rates of interest quickly online and jut out if there are possible sneaky traps you should be aware of. It doesn’t matter if you live in Bowie Maryland or in Montebello California a serious online inspection will economize you often a lot of problems. Inspect to see if the moneylender who wants to give you a credit loan is . Be overbold today to examine if you have a super deal or if you don’t with the moneylender that offers you a money loan. Lots of of the banks wil show you a loan rate that looks good but feels disadvantageously or so after a period of time.

A steam boiler is a pressure vessel with a difference. The vessel
is subjected to heat stress of expansion and contraction, internal
and external corrosion, as well as intense heating on some of its
surfaces.

If we are not careful, the steam pressure can rise up very high,
and it can become a potential bomb!

Because of this, steam boilers have to be built to certain regulatory
codes, with regards to materials used in their construction, their
design, and their installation.

For the operator of the steam boiler, it is essential that the
boiler be operated safely. Although many safety devices are fitted
in all the boilers, they are not fail-proof. Humans are still
needed to monitor the condition of the boiler all the time the
latter is operated, even if it is just to acknowledge an alarm
buzzer or flashing light in a control room.

One of the most important ingredients of a boiler is the water
inside it. The use of untreated water will lead to scaling,
corrosion or foaming. All of these have some detrimental effect
on the boiler or steam systems.

So, always treat the water properly.

But however well you treat the water, you will never know the
condition inside the boiler until you actually see it.

Waterside boiler inspection is carried out for that purpose. If
you are the person who enters the boiler manhole to make the
inspection, make sure that all your pockets are empty, and that
nothing can fall off. This is a good reason for this. Any object
dropped into the waterside can interfere with the heat transfer
process, and can also cause premature failure due to vibration
and rubbing effects.

What would you look for?

The presence of scale, corrosion, and distortion. All these will
cause problems later on.

But before you enter the boiler, please make sure that there is
enough ventilation, enough oxygen for breathing, no presence of
remaining steam, no chance of accidental entry of steam, and so on….

Think safety!

Synopsis:
For machining very large programs on a general purpose CNC, the internal part program memory may become a constraint. This is usually the case with CAD generated programs for Die milling where the program size may run into the range of 20-30Mb, which is far beyond the capacity of a standard Fanuc-0 control. To execute such programs the alternatives are:

a) Breakup the programs to smaller manageable chunks as per the memory capacity of the control and execute it one by one.

b) Use the DNCI function available with the control.

Option a) is cumbersome since a lot of pre-processing has to be done to break up the program and while machining, after execution of every chunk the part program memory must be cleared, a new chunk loaded and executed. This involves a lot of operator intervention and may result in serious accident if a chunk out of sequence is loaded. This is where the DNCI option can be a big advantage.

What is DNCI?
DNCI is an add-on to the AUTO mode of the CNC where instead of executing the part program from the memory of the CNC, it executes program blocks dynamically transferred to it through the RS232 port. This article explains how to set up the DNCI and successfully execute programs.

During the boom years, high-level public relations representation was highly sought after by companies of all sizes. When the economic downturn hit and executives toiled with last-straw strategies and tactics for identifying hidden profit opportunities, public relations professionals saw their share of pink slips. Now, as the economy continues to rebound, PR is once again in favor.

Many people do not realize that practices that maximize profitability during good economic times are the very same practices that help maximize profits or minimize losses during downturns. A strategic public relations campaign can strengthen a company’s position and competitive edge during a weak economy and support sales initiatives during a strong economy.

In an economic downturn, people still conduct business; there is just less of it. Positioning a company as a market leader and measurably increasing media visibility is what successful PR is all about. And businesses that survive will be those with the shrewdest PR strategies, the most creative approach to customers, the highest perceived value, the greatest service during and after the sale, and the fiercest sales force.

When the economy is enjoying a rebound, public relations can support well-established organizations while enhancing the reputations of smaller, growing companies through public education. When the economy is up, so follows the public’s spirits. And when spirits are up minds tend to be more open to new ideas. This is a breeding ground for innovative and lively discussions designed to catapult one company over another. A robust economy, by nature, sparks interest in new products and services while offering opportunities for companies to provide thought-provoking and educational commentary.

Among the most effective public relations practices used by successful companies is thought leadership. Thought leadership is the art of communicating a strategic vision to others in an informative and convincing way. Masters of thought leadership will not speak above or below their audience, but directly to them. Understanding their public enables thought leaders to position themselves as experts in their given field while crafting their message in a way that influences their audience in a positive manner.

For many companies, PR is an afterthought to strategic planning and can appear to be out of sync with business objectives. PR should tie into sales, desired results, and should speak directly to the company’s mission. It works best (in any economy) when tightly integrated with marketing. And since one person cannot carry out an effective PR strategy, the success of a campaign depends on the support, commitment and involvement of the highest levels within the organization.

Today, the PR industry is under more scrutiny than ever before. The days of building a company on hype and rumor are long gone - as are robust retainers for lackluster returns. In any economy, smart companies scrutinize their budgets. Regardless of the price paid, executives seek quality and return on investment. This puts the PR industry under pressure to show value for every hour worked and every dollar spent.

Tactical public relations should be quick, flexible, and cost effective. Competitive and economic environments can change rapidly and lightening fast response to these changing environments is crucial to the success of any PR campaign. Long-term programs planned a year in advance with exorbitant budgets are a thing of the past. Pretending to know what will happen over the next 12 to 14 months is an unaffordable luxury.

By switching gears and returning to basics, public relations can be part reconnaissance and part sales support. Whatever the economy, PR is a worthwhile tool that can be used to add value to any organization.

Are dreams a source of reliable divination? Generations upon generations seem to have thought so. They incubated dreams by travelling afar, by fasting and by engaging in all other manners of self deprivation or intoxication. With the exception of this highly dubious role, dreams do seem to have three important functions:

To process repressed emotions (wishes, in Freud’s speech) and other mental content which was suppressed and stored in the unconscious.
To order, classify and, generally, to pigeonhole conscious experiences of the day or days preceding the dreaming (”day residues”). A partial overlap with the former function is inevitable: some sensory input is immediately relegated to the darker and dimmer kingdoms of the subconscious and unconscious without being consciously processed at all.
To “stay in touch” with the outside world. External sensory input is interpreted by the dream and represented in its unique language of symbols and disjunction. Research has shown this to be a rare event, independent of the timing of the stimuli: during sleep or immediately prior to it. Still, when it does happen, it seems that even when the interpretation is dead wrong - the substantial information is preserved. A collapsing bedpost (as in Maury’s famous dream) will become a French guillotine, for instance. The message conserved: there is physical danger to the neck and head.
All three functions are part of a much larger one:

The continuous adjustment of the model one has of one’s self and of one’s place in the world - to the incessant stream of sensory (external) input and of mental (internal) input. This “model modification” is carried out through an intricate, symbol laden, dialogue between the dreamer and himself. It probably also has therapeutic side benefits. It would be an over-simplification to say that the dream carries messages (even if we were to limit it to correspondence with one’s self). The dream does not seem to be in a position of privileged knowledge. The dream functions more like a good friend would: listening, advising, sharing experiences, providing access to remote territories of the mind, putting events in perspective and in proportion and provoking. It, thus, induces relaxation and acceptance and a better functioning of the “client”. It does so, mostly, by analysing discrepancies and incompatibilities. No wonder that it is mostly associated with bad emotions (anger, hurt, fear). This also happens in the course of successful psychotherapy. Defences are gradually dismantled and a new, more functional, view of the world is established. This is a painful and frightening process. This function of the dream is more in line with Jung’s view of dreams as “compensatory”. The previous three functions are “complementary” and, therefore, Freudian.

It would seem that we are all constantly engaged in maintenance, in preserving that which exists and inventing new strategies for coping. We are all in constant psychotherapy, administered by ourselves, day and night. Dreaming is just the awareness of this on-going process and its symbolic content. We are more susceptible, vulnerable, and open to dialogue while we sleep. The dissonance between how we regard ourselves, and what we really are and between our model of the world and reality - this dissonance is so enormous that it calls for a (continuous) routine of evaluation, mending and re-invention. Otherwise, the whole edifice might crumble. The delicate balance between we, the dreamers, and the world might be shattered, leaving us defenceless and dysfunctional.

To be effective, dreams must come equipped with the key to their interpretation. We all seem to possess an intuitive copy of just such a key, uniquely tailored to our needs, to our data and to our circumstances. This Areiocritica helps us to decipher the true and motivating meaning of the dialogue. This is one reason why dreaming is discontinuous: time must be given to interpret and to assimilate the new model. Four to six sessions take place every night. A session missed will be held the night after. If a person is prevented from dreaming on a permanent basis, he will become irritated, then neurotic and then psychotic. In other words: his model of himself and of the world will no longer be usable. It will be out of synch. It will represent both reality and the non-dreamer wrongly. Put more succinctly: it seems that the famous “reality test” (used in psychology to set apart the “functioning, normal” individuals from those who are not) is maintained by dreaming. It fast deteriorates when dreaming is impossible. This link between the correct apprehension of reality (reality model), psychosis and dreaming has yet to be explored in depth. A few predictions can be made, though:

The dream mechanisms and/or dream contents of psychotics must be substantially different and distinguished from ours. Their dreams must be “dysfunctional”, unable to tackle the unpleasant, bad emotional residue of coping with reality. Their dialogue must be disturbed. They must be represented rigidly in their dreams. Reality must not be present in them not at all.
Most of the dreams, most of the time must deal with mundane matters. Their content must not be exotic, surrealist, extraordinary. They must be chained to the dreamer’s realities, his (daily) problems, people that he knows, situations that he encountered or is likely to encounter, dilemmas that he is facing and conflicts that he would have liked resolved. This, indeed, is the case. Unfortunately, this is heavily disguised by the symbol language of the dream and by the disjointed, disjunctive, dissociative manner in which it proceeds. But a clear separation must be made between subject matter (mostly mundane and “dull”, relevant to the dreamer’s life) and the script or mechanism (colourful symbols, discontinuity of space, time and purposeful action).
The dreamer must be the main protagonist of his dreams, the hero of his dreamy narratives. This, overwhelmingly, is the case: dreams are egocentric. They are concerned mostly with the “patient” and use other figures, settings, locales, situations to cater to his needs, to reconstruct his reality test and to adapt it to the new input from outside and from within.
If dreams are mechanisms, which adapt the model of the world and the reality test to daily inputs - we should find a difference between dreamers and dreams in different societies and cultures. The more “information heavy” the culture, the more the dreamer is bombarded with messages and data - the fiercer should the dream activity be. Every external datum likely generates a shower of internal data. Dreamers in the West should engage in a qualitatively different type of dreaming. We will elaborate on this as we continue. Suffice it to say, at this stage, that dreams in information-cluttered societies will employ more symbols, will weave them more intricately and the dreams will be much more erratic and discontinuous. As a result, dreamers in information-rich societies will never mistake a dream for reality. They will never confuse the two. In information poor cultures (where most of the daily inputs are internal) - such confusion will arise very often and even be enshrined in religion or in the prevailing theories regarding the world. Anthropology confirms that this, indeed, is the case. In information poor societies dreams are less symbolic, less erratic, more continuous, more “real” and the dreamers often tend to fuse the two (dream and reality) into a whole and act upon it.
To complete their mission successfully (adaptation to the world using the model of reality modified by them) - dreams must make themselves felt. They must interact with the dreamer’s real world, with his behaviour in it, with his moods that bring his behaviour about, in short: with his whole mental apparatus. Dreams seem to do just this: they are remembered in half the cases. Results are, probably, achieved without need for cognitive, conscious processing, in the other, unremembered, or disremembered cases. They greatly influence the immediate mood after awakening. They are discussed, interpreted, force people to think and re-think. They are dynamos of (internal and external) dialogue long after they have faded into the recesses of the mind. Sometimes they directly influence actions and many people firmly believe in the quality of the advice provided by them. In this sense, dreams are an inseparable part of reality. In many celebrated cases they even induced works of art or inventions or scientific discoveries (all adaptations of old, defunct, reality models of the dreamers). In numerous documented cases, dreams tackled, head on, issues that bothered the dreamers during their waking hours.
How does this theory fit with the hard facts?
