11 DecSuccessful test season, harvesting machine for white asparagus ready for use

In April of this year, AvL Motion in Westerbeek made a ground-breaking announcement: the very first autonomous harvesting machine for asparagus is now a reality. The company made the announcement before the upcoming asparagus season, so with plenty of time to test the machine in the field. “We’ll only launch the machine on the market when we’ve ruled out any risks and we’re sure that everything is functioning exactly according to plan,” said Arno van Lankveld, owner and founder of AVL Motion, in April of this year. So how are things going with the autonomous harvesting machine?

Successful test season, robot ready for launch
The main focus during the past season was on fine-tuning a number of functions that need to work closely together. Endurance tests and tests for resistance to weather conditions were also performed. Immediately after the machine went into operation, a number of teething problems were solved – for example, in the hydraulic system.

The main functions – the modules that actually harvest the asparagus – are all working well. Good news, because it meant that the machine could be presented to the wider public on the asparagus platform at the end of August this year. In the months to come, the focus will be on implementing improvements, after which the harvesting robot will be absolutely ready for commercial deployment in 2019.

Increasing harvesting capacity, no damage to the bed
One of those improvements means that the harvesting modules are now more compact. For example, in the new design more harvesting modules can be placed within a space of one metre, which has increased the harvesting capacity to fifteen asparagus plants per linear metre. Thanks to the accurate harvesting method, only the asparagus is removed from the bed and almost no sand is removed with it. The bed remains homogenous, as shown by the tests. Which means that the bed doesn’t need to be repaired after each harvesting operation. The plough at the back that is responsible for this repair can be removed by means of a simple quick-change system and replaced with a collecting module with space for around 500 kilos of asparagus. This saves time, because in the past the machine had to be emptied after every row. The plough can easily be put back on the machine if the bed needs to be repaired after an average of two weeks.

Another improvement involves the addition of larger caterpillar tracks that further reduce the soil pressure. This prevents the soil from densifying due to soil compaction when a heavy machine on traditional tyres is deployed between the asparagus rows. This adjustment also helps preserve a high-quality asparagus area.

Harvesting module patented, further development of other functions
Now that fast and accurate operation with the patented harvesting modules has been demonstrated, the machine can be developed further. For example, an option will be added to the machine so that the foil is returned to the same bed (instead of the adjacent bed). As a result, at the end of the field the machine can skip two, four or six beds and process the field in a spiral. This increases efficiency even more because the machine does not then need to turn at the head end. The machine can continue in one smooth movement. Of course, the customer can ultimately decide which system to use. This winter, work will continue on making the harvesting modules more stable in order to reduce the chance of malfunctions even more. The focus will also be on improving the reliability of the machine by adjusting the hydraulic system.

Loyal to corporate vision
AVL Motion’s vision: to provide automatic solutions to problems that occur during labour-intensive cultivation. And always with a passion for innovation and with a solution-oriented, entrepreneurial mindset. In line with this vision, the main focus is always on ease of use. For example, it is now easier to turn the machine thanks to an easy-to-operate radio remote control system. The machine can be viewed more comprehensively by taking a step back. Needless to say, this also improves safety. Lastly, the number of parts can be further reduced by taking a critical look at the design. Because the fewer parts that are used, the lower the risk of damage and outage.

Of course, the compactness of the machine continues to be an important feature. When it needs to be transported from one field to another, the machine easily fits on a trailer so it is possible to quickly switch between plots. It takes just a few minutes to load and unload the machine.

Asparagus robot ready to use in 2019 thanks to innovative test setup
AVL created a test setup in its workshop so that the asparagus harvest could be replicated in a simulation environment. That means that the machine can be developed further during the winter into a production-ready autonomous harvesting robot. All possible risks will be ruled out before the start of the new season and the machine will be functioning completely according to plan. During the coming season, a number of moments will therefore be planned when growers can come and view the machine in its functioning state. From that moment onward, it will be possible to produce the machine on demand.

Chai Colada

Day 202

Chai Colada
5 shots out of 5

We're back in the swing of things this week with the boys second week of school and our oldest girl having a very successful first day of Tiny Tots!  She did not stop rambling on and on about it all day!  All in all, today was a good day!

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  Tonight I was able to pull out my blender again!  I haven't done that in quite some time.  Another great cocktail from the people at Voyant Chai!  The Chai Cream Liqueur I could just drink by itself..........oh wait that's right.......I have already!  Mixing the Chai Cream Liqueur with the cream of coconut and the pineapple juice........brilliant!! I stuck a straw in this one and had to remember half way through my cocktail to turn around and let my husband take a big sip, otherwise it would have been gone in no time!  If you are in a state where they sell Voyant Chai Cream Liqueur I highly suggest you buy some and try some of their recipes!

Here is the recipe for a Chai Colada:

  • 2 1/2 oz Voyant Chai Cream Liqueur
  • 7/8 oz cream of coconut (I know, 7/8.....lame, but I had to half their recipe and then half it again)
  • 7/8 oz pineapple juice (I know......again with the 7/8...just eyeball it, make it right below the 1 oz mark)
In a blender add a cup of ice and all of the ingredients above.  Blend until all of the ice is gone and enjoy!!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here's to another amazing cocktail from Voyant!

The Cocktail Lady
Cocktail Lady
Cocktail Lady

Hello! My name is Jen and I am The Cocktail Lady. I am a married mom of 4 who loves creating and trying new cocktails.

  1. They don't sell that stuff in my state, either, but this sounds good. The 7/8 oz thing was an excellent brain teaser for my kid, though. I knew simply increasing them to 1 oz meant the Chai needed to increase by more than 2/8 (1 per ingredient) but wasn't sure off the top of my head how much difference it would be. Per his math - which I have not double-checked but it sounds about where I was guessing - is that the Chai would be 2.857 ounces if you bumped up the others to an even 1 ounce. Not much better... but if I were able to try it, I would think in the middle between 3/4 and 1 ounce for one measurement would be easier than trying to get 7/8 ounce on two measurements. Then again, I would probably just round it up to 1/1/3 ounces and figure it close enough! :)

    1. Ha ha! And you know I can't guarantee that each were 7/8 oz........one may have been 1 oz, haha. Thank goodness we have kids that can do the math for us!

    2. Can always order it online from retailers such as www.drinkupny.com or www.astorwine.com

    3. Thank You Robert! You are absolutely right, the Voyant Chai Creme Liqueur can be purchased online if it is not sold in your state, and believe me, it's worth it!!

Global warming seems so daunting.  Recent hurricanes and wildfires and even drought underscore a planet in peril.  Climate change is a reality and its effects are present NOW.

With the rollbacks on the fossil fuel front by the Trump Administration, not to mention the muzzling of scientists within EPA on climate change, it is no wonder that we are angered, frustrated and despondent.  What are we to do?

Many of us with AZIPL are being proactive on a regular basis – from signing petitions, to calling on political leaders, to educating within our communities,  to protesting in the streets.  These actions are valuable and necessary.

But frankly, individual action is not enough.  Protests don’t happen on their own.  Petition and calling campaigns require organization.  Spreading the word, increasing awareness, raising our voices in unison, all require organization.

There are many fine groups engaged in this fight to care for the Earth, our common home.  I know many of you, like myself, donate to several.  Yet, there is only one state-wide,  faith-based organization in our State solely committed to combatting the disastrous impacts of climate change.  Arizona Interfaith Power and Light.  And we need your financial support to continue that education and resistance.

The voices of the interfaith community need to be heard.  We at AZIPL are committed to representing this compelling, faith-based perspective and to providing numerous opportunities to gather together to discuss, plan and act upon our calling to save this planet.

The Board of AZIPL, currently a passionate core of 9 members, has and continues to provide countless hours of service to this cause.  And this Board has been a faithful steward through generous giving over the past several years.  We need YOUR support to continue this work in 2018.  As the end of the year, non-profit giving campaigns begin in November, across our community and nation, please consider making a gift to AZIPL.  I would urge you to respond as you are able. I have found using PayPal on our website to be easy and giving on a recurring, monthly basis helps my monthly budgeting.

It is not too stark or dramatic to argue that without your donation, the health of our planet and our species is at great peril and risk of extinction.  Working together, we can be a beacon of hope, resiliency and protest during these dangerous times.

My faith calls me to pray to God for the care and protection of the Earth.  Moreover, it calls me to act on that faith; to act with others in beloved community on behalf of an ailing planet and for future generations, including my two beautiful granddaughters, Silvi and Tula.  Without individuals acting and providing gifts to support the climate change movement, we will fall short.  And that is not acceptable.  So, that’s my simple declaration of faith.  WHAT’S YOURS?

Patrick Grady

Board President, Arizona Interfaith Power and Light

What is Corporation Tax?

Corporation Tax (CT) is the tax on profits of a Limited Company assuming you are based in the UK.

This tax rate is calculated on the CT Financial Year not your trading year, so its calculated on the period, 1st April to the following 31st March, however, you have to pay your CT 9 months and 1 day after your Companies Year End.

Current CT rate is 19% for small companies, i.e. where you profit is less than £300,000.

If your profit is higher than £330,000 your rate is 24%.

You must tell HMRC you are trading, so they know you have to pay them CT on your profits

We recommend you have an Accountant prepare your accounts and file your Corporation Tax, as it has to be filed online along with your tax computations that form part of your Company Tax Return.

“Enabling you to do what you do best”

Do I stay on Flat rate or move to standing VAT account?

If you would like to discuss your options, contact us and we can go through the pros and cons, it could save you a lot of money!

What’s happening to Flat Rate VAT

Following the Chancellors Autumn Statement, Flat Rate VAT calculation will be changing, effective the 1st April 2017.

The Flat Rate Scheme is used by many Service Sector companies as a way of saving their VAT expense as they pay a smaller VAT rate, e.g. 10% instead of 20%.

The difference effectively becomes extra income as you don’t have to pay the full 20% over to HMRC.

Sale of £1,000 + VAT (£200) = £1,200
If you are on Flat Rate of 10% you only pay £120 in VAT to HMRC a £80 saving.

So, what’s changing

If your business has a small amount of purchases you will no longer be able to use the Flat Rate applicable to your sector, you will be capped at 16.5%.

Based on the above, you would pay £198.00 to HMRC, saving only £2.00

What HMRC classify as small amount of purchases are less than 2% of your sales.  These purchases, are for good only and do not cover services or assets.  Your Accountancy fees and computers are not included.

If you remain on the flat rate scheme as are classified as small, you could loses our on reclaim VAT and ultimately be paying more VAT to HMRC

Types of business Effected

You may be effected if you work in one of the following sectors, so it worth investigating what is best for you or you will pay more tax than you potentially need too.

Know Your Irregular Demonyms!

A demonym is the adjectival form of a place name used to describe the people from that place. For California, for example, the demonym is Californian. But be warned: Not all demonyms work the way you’d expect. To avoid insult to your foreign visitors, please consult this list of irregular and unusual demonyms.

The people of Monaco prefer to be called Monagasque.

The residents of the English town of Manchester are Mancunian.

Those from the island of Cyprus are called Cypriot.

Those from the island of Crete are, unfortunately, Cretans.

If you’re from the Seychelles, you are Seychellois.

If you’re from Madagascar, you’re Malagasy.

If you’re from Halifax, Nova Scotia, you’re Haligonian.

If you’re from Oxford, England, you’re Oxonian.

Technically speaking, people who live in the Vatican are Citizens of the Holy See.

Citizens of Barbados are Bajan.

Those living in Mexico City refer to themselves as Capitalinos.

If you’re from the Belgium region of Wallonia, you’re a Walloon.

While the world knows the people of Peru as the Peruvians, they actually prefer to be called the Pervs.

Similarly, the people of Bhutan are the Booties.

Residents of Utah take great pride in their demonym, Utard.

If you’re from St. Kitts, you’re a Kitty Cat.

The people who live in Budapest are Budapasta.

You’ve probably heard the joke about people from Albania being Albinos. In truth, however, they prefer to be called Abba-Zabbas.

The people of Saskatoon generally prefer to be called the Saskatoodles.

Residents of Chad like to be called by their full name, Chad Ethan Allen Hollingsworth III.

When meeting residents of the Irish city of Cork, don’t call them Corkers. They’re actually Corky Thatchers.

Natives of the German city of Munich prefer the term Munchers.

Those who live in Antarctica just like to be called.

When discussing those from the isle of Lesbos, it’s best to tiptoe around the subject altogether.

And, finally, it’s very impolite to mention the fact that someone is from Fresno, so there is no word for that.

  1. We in Long Beach, CA go by Longbeachistani.

    1. Oh no. All my Schlong Beach jokes may have been in bad taste,

  2. Fact: No one knows the demonym for New Zealand, so they say "Kiwi," which is Maori for "I don't know."

    1. Fun fact about that word kiwi. The Maori call the bird that because that's what its call sounds like: "kee-WEE." It's very strange to hear and realize, "Oh my god, they're saying kiwi."

    2. Anonymous12:33 AM

      fact... dont be stupid. as well as a Kiwi you are also a New Zealander if from New Zealand.

    3. Anonymous6:11 PM

      Fact: people from New Zealanders are New Zealanders. Kiwi is in no way Maori for 'I don't know'. Don't know where the hell you got that from but it's a name very similar to the sound the kiwi makes. Maybe do your research before you post because honestly, people from New Zealand tend to be called New Zealanders more often then Kiwis.

  3. I've always wondered what a person from Arkansas is called.

    1. Anonymous2:58 PM

      Arkansawyers before the Civil War, Arkansans postbellum

  4. Anonymous4:32 AM

    "Saskatoodle"? In 47 years I've not heard that one time.

  5. Anonymous6:22 PM

    People from Del Mar, CA are Del Martians.

    1. I feel like this is racist against people from Mars.

    2. In Arcata California there is a planned unit development built on marshlands called the Marsh Commons. Official and legal documents refer to residents as "Marshons"

  6. Anonymous12:33 PM

    Men from Michigan are called Michiganders. Women are called Michigeese. Children are called Michigoslings.

  7. People from Bhutan are Bhutanese. Just sayin'.

  8. Anonymous5:39 PM

    ... half of these are wrong ... and not even funny wrong either

    1. Right, but only if you don't have a sense of humor.

  9. Anonymous4:54 PM

    People from Utah are Utahns, "You-Tahwns", not Utards.

Red Nose Day, Comic Relief for Computer Geeks

Friday 15th March sees the 17th biennial Red Nose Day.

Launched in 1988 as a support to Comic Relief, this record-breaking charitable occasion sees a variety of comedians, television hosts, pop stars and people from contemporary popular culture take part in numerous fund-raising events across the U.K; culminating in a live screening on a Friday night, usually the closest to St Patricks Day.

Of course, it’s not just the celebs who take part.

Events take place up and down the country, from people taking a bath in Baked Beans, to Danceathons, to hitch hiking with a fridge, the more outrageous fundraiser event the better, it seems, is the order of the day for some!

But not everybody wants to hitch hike with a fridge! It certainly wouldn’t be our idea of a fun way to spend a weekend!

So, what other ideas are there for raising a shed load of cash for a worthy cause, especially for those of us who are computer geeks and technology Wizz kids?

Want to find out more? Read on…

Where Does the Money Go from Red Nose Day?

Before we mull over ideas for fund raising, it’s important to realise why people get involved in this iconic event.

Red Nose Day was originally launched in 1988 by the genius comedy script writer Richard Curtis and the ever youthful and legendary comedian Lenny Henry.

The purpose was to raise funds for children in need and those in poverty across the globe, with the first ever event seeing Lenny Henry visit Ethiopia in February of that year, over 30 million people tuning in to BBC to watch and over 15 million pounds raised for good causes.

Over the years, the great and the good and the very famous have participated in presenting the program, writing and producing sketches, (who can forget THAT kiss between Hugh Grant and Dawn French?), and highlighting the plight of some of the most vulnerable children and young people around the world.

Of course, we would all like to take time out and climb Kilimanjaro, (wouldn’t we?), but it’s not always that easy, especially with work and family commitments, and raising funds in times of austerity is not always as straightforward as we’d like it to be either! So what can we do?

Fund Raising for Red Nose Day

Trying to come up with something original and funny, (the emphasis for Red Nose Day has always been the comedy aspect), takes some thought power and advance planning.

There are however some very easy ways to get the office to join in, TK Maxx for example, always support Red Nose Day by selling the T-shirts which you can view here, and there are loads of different designs. You could run a secret t-shirt sweep and buy each other a different design or buy a load and wear them back to front for the day, and knowing they are made from Fair Trade Cotton is a bonus too!

And what about the Red Noses themselves? No self-respecting Computer guru would not adorn his or her P.C with a giant Red Nose to support Comic Relief surely? Or if it won’t fit on your P.C. you could find somewhere particularly conspicuous in the office so everybody can see you support a great cause.

If you want to do something more personal, why not organise a FIFA-thon? Just get loads of your mates to bring their X Boxes round and get ready for kick off! Don’t forget though that the whole point is to raise money for vulnerable kids, so try to get some kind of sponsorship, or charge a nominal fee for people to join in, then you can donate a good wedge of cash to the funds!

And if you want a fundraiser kit to support your efforts, you can order them here, for free!

Where do the Funds go to Raised by Red Nose Day?

Offering humanitarian aid to refugees

When you get involved in Red Nose Day, you are actively supporting Comic Relief to bring relief from poverty to communities across the U.K and on an international level.

Since Comic Relief was started way back in 1985, they have raised in excess of a staggering £1 Billion all thanks to the people getting involved and giving up their time to support this amazing charity.

Comic Relief supports campaigns for kids promoting mental health awareness, (a topic that is high on the national agenda), by investing in therapeutic services, anti – discrimination work and influencing changes in policy and procedure.

The charity has also worked with refugee children from places such as Syria and Afghanistan who have had to flee their homes due to war, persecution and torture. Many witnessing things no adult should see, never mind a child. Some have lost their parents or their siblings, and it is only with continuous support from the donations they receive, that Comic Relief can help these children.

The money raised from Red Nose Day also goes towards building safe homes for people made homeless by war, or those who have fled violence in the home both in this country and abroad, as well as providing education and resources for those in need.

For more information about Comic Relief and Red Nose Day and the work they do you can find it here.

Meanwhile, if you are thinking of getting involved or you have been inspired to raise funds in some weird and wonderful way, why not let us know? We’d love to see your pictures of the FIFA-Thon, or the giant Red Noses all around your offices! And if you need I.T Support from a friendly bunch of experts with years of experience and knowledge, then contact us here or call us on 01282 506 616 to find out how we can help you get the most out of I.T to support Red Nose Day. Meanwhile, we are off to get our t-shirts and sit in a bath of baked beans!

Recently read an old discussion on Coffeed, regarding the value vs. cost of pouring kettles commonly used in manual brewing. The standard would have to be the Hario Buono, with the Takahiro used in some shops with more spending money.  I wanted a kettle for home, but I couldn't justify over $50, so I started shopping around for an alternative. I looked at several things but never really found something that worked for me.

Recently, fellow BX'er James Spano revealed an obscure, overseas website store called Homeloo, that sells items for all parts of the home. In their kitchen section were a couple of water kettles that looked promising.

I ordered one, and am testing it now, and must say, for the money spent, I am thrilled! I can't speak to its durability, but used on periodic basis at home, it works well. At least I can hone my Chemex technique now, and when I start brewing with the v60, I will be prepared.

Here's the link to the one I got, but there is another listed in the Kitchen section:

What other solutions do some of you use for pouring kettles?

I'm sure it's an isolated event, but I ordered the very same kettle and it arrived missing the bolt that attaches the handle to the kettle. I emailed Homeloo and was basically told 'sucks to be you.'
@Jeremy - Sorry to hear that. Did you get the little round kettle, or the beehive-shaped one? My round kettle doesn't have a bolt anywhere. The handle is brazed on.
I was wondering the same thing. We've ordered 4 of the round and 1 beehive shaped and all have been fine. (Didn't like the beehive one as weel and gave it to a wholesale client so can't check it's handle attachment until at their location.)

@Jeremy - Sorry to hear that. Did you get the little round kettle, or the beehive-shaped one? My round kettle doesn't have a bolt anywhere. The handle is brazed on.
The larger, 'beehive' kettle with the upward set handle. I'm sure I'll find a decent workaround that won't look too ghetto, but an offer to exchange the kettle for a complete unit + return shipping would have netted them a return customer.
I bought one of these also and I really like it, the only problem is that I wish it was a little bigger and also lid on mine does not attach very well and gets very hot so I can't hold it while I pour unless I use a towel. This of course is not a ridiculous inconvenience, and I'm sure I can find some type of silicon to cover it with. Overall I also feel much better about this buy than I do about purchasing the Hario kettle.

Kinda late to this discussion but I just thought I'd add another strong endorsement of the Homeloo kettle. Just got mine yesterday and was instantly blown away by the level of control this thing offers. Also, I have to say that with the round design the weight distribution is even so it only takes the subtlest of movements to get the pour at exactly the right rate you prefer.

I do wish, though, that the designer(s) had thought to put some sort of coating on the handle and the lid top. (On the flip side, the handle actually cools down fairly quickly while the kettle itself retains a great deal of heat.)

Recently picked up a stainless steel dripper from Tiamo and when used in conjunction with this Homeloo kettle I've already noticed a significant amount of heat retention. My morning brew pretty much stayed hot to the last drop. Not to mention a significant amount of money retention as the Homeloo is less than half the cost of the Hario.

Sorry for the Maxwell House reference!

I recently set out to equip my new shop with pour over kettles and was having a great deal of trouble finding Hario product (I was told this was because of the earthquake/tsunami). So, I set about looking for acceptable alternatives and was amazed out how few alternatives were offered by industry players. What I ended up with were stainless steel olive oil cans; they're made by a myriad of manufacturers, meet the required design parameters, and cost about half as much as the Hario. As an added bonus, there are a great many cool vintage cans on the market as well.

Hows the heat retention on those Olive Oil cans? Just doing a quick search on Amazon did come up with some cool ones. Generally a little small but there are at least a few 24oz ones.

What am I missing on the shipping from the Homeloo place? Its more expensive to ship multiples on a single order than ordering individually. Shipping for 1 to me is 13.00, shipping for 3 at a time is about 42.00. I was hoping ordering multiples (since I would like to get 2 or 3 to use) would work out a better deal, guess not. Oh well, guess I'll just order up 1 for now to test.

i'm looking to get myself a Tiamo kettle.. anyone ever try these?

About The Strawberry Duck

Nestled within the wild and wonderful Lancashire Moors, the Strawbury Duck is a hidden gem, and possibly one of the best kept secrets in Bolton.

With the recent refurbishments, this 18th century Inn has been restored to its former glory as a traditional British pub.

The menu is inspired by traditional specialties, with a wide range of Lancashire food classics and all produce is sourced locally.We also have a selection of award winning cask ales, giving you the chance to embrace that little bit more British culture.

Craggy stone floors, warm wooden furniture, candlelit rooms and real log burning fires create the perfect pub atmosphere.

Making the Duck an ideal retreat for travellers, visitors and walkers alike, the Duck is a great place to rest and unwind, amidst some of the most beautiful English countryside.
Here at the Duck all our produce is carefully sourced and we pride ourselves on using only the finest ingridients for our dishes.

For an abundance of freshness and taste we rear our very own local produce.

Currently we breed our own rare breed free range Saddleback pigs which which offer a delicious selection of pork, ham, bacon, sausages and suckling pig. You simply can not get a more fresh, quality and tasty source.

Each week we feature a selection of guest ales to accompany our variety of fine ales. And we have a fine wine list specially formulated to complement our menu.

First the bad news - it was raining so we couldnt sit outside. Now the good news - we got a table next to the fire! The Strawberry Duck is olde worlde quaint and has a nice warm, friendly feel to it. The service was quick and friendly and the staff knew everything about the specials and food being served. Probably the best pub food I've had in many a year. A solid 9/10 for me... I'll be back!

Grandmother's Love

988 WordsApr 24, 20134 Pages
The Importance of a Grandmother’s Love Many grandmothers are important people because many times they give love to their family. Their love can make their family comfortable, make life easier, and unite family members. Patricia Hampl, “Grandmother’s Sunday Dinner,” describes how her grandmother ruled over her family with her authoritative personality. And also, Hampl’s grandmother made her family members united with her professional cooking skills. Similar to Hampl’s grandmother, my grandmother rules over my family. My grandmother’s personality is not authoritative, and her cooking skills are not good compared to Hampl’s grandmother. However, her love sill makes out family united. Although both grandmothers have different…show more content…
My grandmother is short and small, but she is a strong-minded woman. Since my grandfather passed away when my mother was young, my grandmother raised my mother and two uncles by herself. My grandmother is from a family of six siblings, and she is the youngest one. My grandmother told me she never cooked or learned how to cook because all of her siblings did it for her. Therefore, unlike Hampl’s grandmother, my grandmother is not good at cooking. Since all of my family members live in different countries, we do not get many chances to see each other. If we are lucky, we see each other once a year and we always get together at the grandmother’s house. When all of my family members gather at the foremother’s house, my grandmother always puts all of her effort into making good meals for us. Since she is not good at cooking, all of my family members gather together in the kitchen and help her to cook. I always find true happiness in the kitchen because all of us talk about life and make stupid jokes with riotous laughter. Grandmother’s house is a shelter for our family members because it is the only place that all of us can get out of where we are right now and relax without having any worries. Maybe my grandmother’s dinner is not the best dinner compared to Hampl’s grandmother’s dinner in good qualities, but I still love eating my grandmother’s meal because I can feel her love. My grandmother is

It’s been six years since my grandma died two days into 2013. It is normal to think of her during this time, but lately, I can’t stop thinking about her, and my grief is very particular.

It’s all about food.

My grandma wasn’t a fancy cook, but what she made was delicious and could be produced in quantities to feed an army. And my grandmother had an army of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She owned Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and in my mind, no one has topped them since.

The turkey was tender, the baked beans were sweet and savory, her signature bread dressing was scrumptious, the gravy was superior, and the pies were binge-worthy. She made the best black coffee, and her post-feast platter of homemade cookies was worth the bellyache. Every year it was always the same, and it was always good.

When I got married, I asked her for the recipes, only to find she never measured anything. Everything was “to taste” or “to touch,” and although she tried to portion them for me, the results were never as good. My oatmeal cookies weren’t as chewy, my pie crusts not quite as crisp, my pineapple bread never as tall, and my baked beans always too sweet. When she passed away, so much of that wonderful food passed with her.

There are two recipes I can replicate with 100% accuracy, both a staple of the holidays.

One is her bread dressing, which she only made on Thanksgiving. It is, as my grandma said, hard to screw up as there are only seven ingredients. It is mostly chopping and waiting for bread to stale and tasting and eyeballing. Whenever we are at my mother’s house for Thanksgiving, I make this dressing. One bite and I am in my grandma’s kitchen, snitching stuffing before dinner.

This Thanksgiving, her dressing was nearly all I ate. I didn’t mean to do it, but something about the scent and the chaos of the big family had me finishing my first serving and having another. I never did get to the turkey.

All I could figure is that I missed her.

I can also make my grandma’s butter cookies. There are only three ingredients – butter, sugar, flour. Whenever my kids wanted to decorate Christmas cookies, this was my go-to recipe. The dough was never sticky, and it didn’t get tough when rolled and re-rolled. Since my grandma believed in rolling out her cookie dough in powder sugar, the dough got sweeter.

These cookies always paired well with coffee. My grandma was a coffee addict, as am I. Perking coffee was the default scent of her kitchen, sometimes mingling with the aroma of baking, sometimes mixing with the perfume of Palmolive, sometimes standing alone. The smell of her butter cookies and perking coffee were some of my last memories of her in the kitchen, as this simple recipe was one she could manage long after old age had taken her hands, her knees, and most of her eyesight.

I often make her butter cookies during Christmas. They bear red and green sprinkles well. This year, however, I’m saving some butter, sugar, flour, and coffee for the second day in January.

On that day, I will make a small batch of butter cookies, and while they are baking, brew some strong coffee. And for a few precious moments, I will be in her kitchen again.

beam Consultancy

                                  Providing Illumination and Support

Clinical Expertise and Lived Experience in the areas of potentially lethal self harm, suicidality and complex interpersonal dynamics, often described as ‘personality disorder’

Who We Are

Beam Consultancy is a unique organisation driven by clinicians and lived experience practitioners. We provide training, consultancy and intervention for those living and working with complex mental health issues.

Beam was founded in response to the realisation that the NHS often struggles to work with those with complex mental health problems, particularly when these problems feature relationship difficulties, self harm and suicidality.

Our team has considerable experience in mental health covering all areas from secure hospitals, PICUs, acute wards and a variety of generic and specialist community teams.  We are DBT therapists in addition to our core training.  Between us we combine Masters level study of Working with Personality Disorder, publications around working with complex presentations and leading workshops at national conferences.  We have won awards for delivering innovative services to complex client groups and are recognised as experts in our field.

Our Lived Experience Practitioners have received community and inpatient treatment both voluntarily and under the Mental Health Act.  They have experienced individual and group therapy as well as ECT and restraint.  Essentially, our experts have exceptional communication skills which allow them to share their experiences without staff feeling blamed or judged.  They have experience of delivering treatment as well as supervising staff.  They have delivered multiple training sessions with consistent excellent feedback and include award winners for presenting at national conferences.

Our partnership of professional and experiential expertise is a unique service with a proven record of success in psychologically containing staff and service users working/living with complex needs.

Our Services

Illumination - Training

Our experts with experience of delivering and receiving interventions offer fixed and bespoke sessions around topics such as; Potentially Lethal Self Harm, Suicidality, Personality Disorder, Trauma, and Developing Reflective Skills.

We can create a tailored package to suit your individual needs.

Illumination - Consultancy

Significant complexity often leads to teams and individuals experiencing problems and feeling stuck.  Our supervision/thinking space sessions are facilitated by those who have worked with and lived with problems identified as extremely high risk. These help to unlock understanding and solutions inherent in our clients.

We offer a risk assessment package to identify where more positive risk taking can take place and where service interventions can maintain or exacerbate issues.

We can work with your organisation to understand the barriers to working effectively and identify solutions to improve service user experience and reduce expenditure.

Support - Therapy

Depending on the client, we offer DBT or intensive goal focused therapy aimed at promoting autonomy and increasing quality of life.  Our lived experience practitioners can develop a rapport often inaccessible to professional staff.

Our primary support package is aimed at helping people in their own environment.  We recognise the issues identified in the NICE guidelines around out of area placements and our Placement Avoidance package is designed to provide excellent care at an affordable rate without the trauma of leaving the client's social environment.

All of our training packages are jointly created and delivered by those with clinical experience and lived experience of the subject matter.  While we are focused on meeting the needs of our clients, our preference is to avoid the dry delivery of facts and instead unlock the skills, knowledge and reflection staff need to perform and excel in their roles.

Working Effectively With People Diagnosed with Personality Disorder - 3 Days

A 3 day course focused on understanding the presentation often labelled as personality disorder.  We include the skills required to be effective, including specific approaches to collaborative working, formulation and managing crisis.  We aim to develop the reflective mindset essential for working with high risk clients while teaching the skills that our clinicians and service users have found to be effective.

Skills for working with People Diagnosed with Personality Disorder- 1 day

An abridged 1 day version of the above 3 day course with specific focus on the importance of building relationships, collaborative working, deescalation, interpersonal dynamics, validation, problem solving and effectively utilising DBT techniques.

Working with potentially lethal self harm - 2 Days

This 2 day course specialises in understanding and working with potentially lethal self harm. With emphasis on harm reduction, risk management without being risk adverse, and how to provide psychological containment for both clinicians and clients.  This is delivered  from a unique perspective of a client's frame of reference to understand the underlying reasons for 'maladaptive' ways of coping.

managing crisis presentations of suicidality and severe self harm - 1 day

A 1 day course concentrating on effectively managing crisis by understanding what is behind the presentation; illuminating what is being communicated by clients and sometimes reflected back by teams. There is a focus on developing skills to provide psychological containment for both clinicians and clients in emotionally charged situations and effectively utilising de-escalation techniques and risk management. Sessions will cover validation, problem solving and a range of skills to employ including 'When nothing seems to work'.

Why it all makes sense: Formulating Behaviour that causes problems - 1 day

Understanding how early life and past experiences are reaffirmed and play out in the present. Using theory that is accessible and understandable for all levels of staff, we will jointly create a narrative to facilitate insight and aid problem solving.

An introduction to mental health - 1 day

A brief overview of mental health generally; exploring wellness and illness, diagnosis, dispelling myths, and common interventions used within primary and secondary services.  How you can help and how to refer on.

Restraint: The power of being held - 1 day

Exploring psychologically informed ways of minimising the use of restraint within inpatient facilities using effective communication and de-escalation with attention paid to a client's previous experiences and how those are played out in the present..

Thinking the unthinkable - Various

A facilitated discussion that examines and deconstructs established wisdom.  Often used in a conference setting or as a team away day this gives staff the opportunity to play with concepts that are difficult to articulate in the workplace.  Previous topics have included "Why are People with Personality Disorder so Manipulative", "Let's Allow Self Harm on the Ward" and "Personality Disorder is not our Business".  We can create an engaging and lively debate that is relevant to you.

Bespoke Training Solutions - Various

You know your organisation best and we are eager to hear your training needs and respond to them.  We are confident in our skills and experience in working with highly complex and high risk clients, however we are humble enough to direct you to other services if that expertise is located elsewhere.  Feel free to contact us to discuss your needs and how we might meet them.

Facilitated Meetings/Away Days

Our presence can help teams in new ways and our Experts by Experience are adept at helping clinicians express ideas they might normally articulate.  By working on what people think, as opposed to what they want people to think they think, teams are more able to address the issues facing them.  We offer bespoke sessions or can facilitate entire days of team building and reflection.

When working with human beings, the emotional impact of caring for those who find it hard to accept care can be profound.  Often our clientele have been let down, neglected and/or abused by those who might have been expected to protect them.  This leads to difficulties in their ongoing relationships with health professionals.

Individual/Team Supervision

A regular space to discuss the difficulties of the work, the impact on the staff and service user and essentially, a plan of action to move forward.  Jointly facilitated by our expert clinicians and experts by experience, the sessions promote an empathic understanding of difficulties, and focus on thoughtful responses based on facts rather than traditional thoughts or prescribed beliefs.

Complex Case discussion

A stand alone case conference to identify the goals, risks, learning opportunities and ways forward for teams and clients who are particularly stuck.  Our service user consultants help to bring an authentic understanding of challenging presentations and the potential impact and interpretations of what we consider care.  These sessions are aimed at developing a more nuanced understanding of complexity, building a team formulation and using this as the basis for further decision making.

Independent assessment and risk formulation

It is our firm belief that the knowledge and solutions for working with complex clients lie within the treating team.  On occasion teams benefit from a new perspective to enrich their understanding of their client.  We offer a review of clinical notes, interview with the client and a risk formulation based on what is likely to occur consistent with previous actions and opposed to basing interventions on the worst possible scenario.  We focus on the client's strengths, safety behaviours, capacity to make decisions and potential for long term improvement verses short term relief.  From this we can outline a strategy for ongoing treatment that allows the client to retain autonomy while maintaining coping methods that are potentially harmful.  Often interventions aimed at keeping people safe can inadvertently lead to increased self harm and potentially higher risk of death.

Organisational Observation & Consultation

At times staff are aware that there are difficulties in their environment but find it hard to articulate them so that they can be worked on.  This can lead to splits in the team, locating problems in individuals or increased sickness and burnout.  This package involves our experts spending time to observe, speak to those in the environment and feedback observations in a way the team can understand and action.

We passionately believe that sustainable recovery takes place in the client's home environment.  All of the NICE guidelines' personal accounts talk of people going to various placements only to relapse when they return to home.  Our interventions are aimed at people with significant levels of self harm and perceived high risk of suicide and prioritise doing things via negotiation and consent while avoiding coercion and control.

Placement Avoidance

This package is based on the NICE recommended therapy DBT, and prioritises reducing potentially lethal behaviour, maintaining a therapeutic relationship and building a life worth living.  Our intensive psychological containment model offers twice weekly sessions combined with 24 hour telephone support.  We will help our clients to use the services around them effectively while providing the majority of their therapeutic contact.

Our team have experience of working effectively and informally in the community with those who it was felt that compulsory out of area therapy was the only option.  In addition we have successfully transitioned people from secure units to the community where there were strong views that only compulsory detention could be provided.  Our clinicians and Experts by Experience are keenly aware of the effects of iatrogenic harm - where what is done for the best results in maintaining/exacerbating problems, and we will work intensively with teams and clients to minimise these dynamics.

Where clients are unable to commit to DBT we offer a similarly intensive, goal focused intervention based around Structured Clinical Management.  This is an approach with a comparable evidence base to DBT but without the requirement to give up self harm.  We would work with clients to build a life worth living incorporating their views about their essential coping mechanisms.  In the past our support has moved clients off wards where placement was considered the sole option, to over a year in the community receiving our support without admission.

While we are confident that we provide an effective, ethical and evidence based service our unique selling point is that we will deliver consensual, collaborative care at a fraction of the cost of enforced residential treatment.

We are based mainly in the Wirral/Cheshire area but are willing to deliver services across the country

Bechtel Promotes Education During Global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Celebration

19 March 2015 RESTON, VA

Company’s Third Annual Global Stewardship Month Spotlights its Ongoing Commitment to Make a Difference

From New Delhi to Santiago and from London to Washington state, Bechtel marked its third annual Global Stewardship Month by reaching out to more than 5,500 students worldwide. The company’s efforts focused on inspiring the next generation of engineers and on using small-scale engineering projects to improve quality of life for residents of under-developed communities around the world.

“Global Stewardship Month showcases our year-round commitment to giving back to the communities where we live and work,” said Charlene Wheeless, Bechtel’s head of global corporate affairs. “Our colleagues are passionate about making a difference and while we see that every day, that energy was magnified during Stewardship Month.”

As part of its stewardship efforts to give back to the community, Bechtel is a signature sponsor of five key programs: DiscoverE, Engineers Without Borders, FIRST®, Junior Achievement®, and Ocean Exploration Trust.

“Bechtel volunteers are tireless advocates for STEM education,” said Leslie Collins, executive director of DiscoverE. “We are proud to join with them in our mission to introduce young people to the magic of engineering, and to inspire the next generation of engineers.”

“Bechtel employees who give their time as FIRST® team mentors are teaching far more than just robotics,” said Donald E. Bossi, president, FIRST. “They are teaching kids about teamwork, competition, and how to research and present their knowledge – skills they’ll rely on well into the future.”

During Global Stewardship Month, Bechtel's impact was felt around the world. Highlights included:
  • In the United Kingdom, Bechtel colleagues coached a FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®) team in the Bechtel-supported FLL UK finals competition, where the team was presented with the Insight into Learning award by Minister of Education Nicky Morgan.
  • In Australia, volunteers worked with the Bechtel-sponsored FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC®) team in Brisbane, fresh off a win at the Australian National FTC Championship, preparing them for the 2015 FIRST Robotics World Championship Competition.
  • In Uganda, Maryland-based volunteers worked with Engineers Without Borders in preparation for a water supply project in the village of Mikomago.
  • Chile- and U.S.-based colleagues participated in DiscoverE’s Global Marathon For, By, and About Women in Engineering & Technology (a worldwide online forum).
  • Volunteers in Washington State reached over 5,000 middle school students through classroom presentations during Engineers Week.
  • In the Washington, D.C., area, volunteers helped judge the 2015 Bechtel-sponsored DiscoverE Future City competition, a national, project-based learning experience in which students plan and build a city and create solutions to an engineering problem; coached an all-girls Future City team that went on to place third in the regional competition; and introduced children and their families to the joy of engineering through an experiment about earthquakes and soil liquefaction, sponsored by DiscoverE.
  • Bechtel volunteers in Texas hosted more than 200 Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Webelos for a day of learning and activities focused on engineering, and conducted an in-school engineering workshop and mentoring session with some 160 girls during Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day.

Planning, design, engineering, and construction management

    $800 million

A 10-year plan for a massive upgrade

The Dubai Government selected Bechtel to design, manage and complete Dubai International Airport construction project for improved airport operations. The ten-year plan called for a massive and widely varied set of components, including a satellite concourse with 28 gates, 42 loading bridges, and 221 check-in counters —1.3 million square feet (120,770 square meters) in all, duty-free and specialty shops, a 100-room, five-star luxury hotel, conference, business and entertainment centers, and restaurants.

Bechtel served as designer, project manager, and construction manager for the airport and runway system, terminals, access roadways, parking facilities, and a cargo complex. The airport is a focal-point for the growth of business and tourism throughout the United Arab Emirates. The cargo and free-trade-zone complex earned the International Cargo Airport Forum’s Best Cargo Airport award. Nearly 13,000 metric tons of steel was used to construct the frame of the new concourse.

The cargo and free-trade-zone complex helped make Dubai International a cargo hub for the Middle East. It was the world’s fifth-largest cargo airport in 2013, and  number seven in the world for passenger traffic―serving more than 66 million travelers.

  • A plane using the airport while the modernization project was underway
  • An overhead view of the new concourse under construction
  • Workers survey the site during construction
  • Workers installing bolts at the concourse
  • The project was just one of more than 100 Bechtel has completed in the UAE since 1962
  • Nearly 13,000 metric tons of steel were used to build the new concourse’s frame
  • A view of the expanded airport’s duty free area
  • One of the satellite concourse’s 42 loading bridges
  • By 2013, Dubai International was the world’s seventh-largest airport, serving more than 66 million travelers
  • The 10-year plan added a total of 1.3 million square feet (120,770 square meters)

Dubai International Airport Construction Facts:

  • Major aprons and taxiways to support the new satellite concourse
  • A charter terminal that handles more than 500 passengers per hour
  • A new 13,000-foot (4,000-meter) runway and taxi system, including state-of-the-art navigational aids and computerized airfield lighting systems
  • A cargo and free-trade-zone complex
  • A new automated baggage handling system
  • A new air traffic control tower, a fuel farm, a central utility plant, fire stations, and associated airside facilities

Innovative CADD Improved The Dubai International Airport

Design efforts set new standards in the use of computer technology and complex simulations to develop alternatives, provide for more informed decision-making, explore operations issues, and improve public outreach. We planned all construction activities to minimize the impact on existing airport operations.

Using Bechtel’s worldwide computer network, a highly skilled team completed all architectural design using state-of-the-art computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and document tracking systems. Our network facilitated design review and electronic exchange of CADD design drawings among Bechtel offices worldwide (including San Francisco, London, and New Delhi) and the project team in Dubai, increasing speed and accuracy.

Virtual reality simulations aided decision-making, allowing our customer to experience the result during the design stage. Automated simulation studies also helped establish planning and design criteria for aircraft movement and passenger flow.

Bechtel’s use of 3-D modeling enabled the project team to run electronic interference—checking, for example, on ductwork, baggage systems, and structural steel. It enabled us to identify problems during the design process rather than during the construction phase, when addressing such issues typically costs a lot of time and money.

Decades of continuous service

Bechtel first teamed with the Government of Dubai on airport renovation and expansion in 1977, and has been at work ever since. More than 100 projects have been completed by Bechtel in the United Arab Emirates since 1962.

Child Of Wonder. What A Grandfather Is For

by Jon Katz
What A Grandfather Is For.

Ever since Robin was born last summer, I’ve been thinking about what it is that grandparents are for. I don’t care to go over the top with it, Robin is not my child, and I am not an integral part of her life. She has two wonderful parents who will shepherd her through life.

I am not close enough to see her regularly, but we absolutely do connect when we do meet and I am understanding what my role in this is. I think I am meant to pass along certain truths and feelings and wisdoms about life to her, not in words or declarations or preaching, but in love and connection.

I see this process is both instinctive and biological. In a strange sense, I have learned some of this from dogs. Fate and I connect on a strong level, we touch the independent and unpredictable and distracted spirit in one another.  We see the fun and the pirate in one another.

A grandchild is not a dog, nor do I wish her to be. For me, a dog is never a child, and a child is never a dog, and people who forget the difference will regret it.

But love is a powerful teacher, and Robin and I already love one another. She knows me, even if she rarely sees me, and in a sense I know her. I hope pass along to her my passion for living my life, taking some risks, avoiding a hollow or substitute life based on money and security.

Her parents will guide her much more than I will, and that is the way it should be. But I have things to pass along to her, and they are not in words or teachings, they are in my life, and my heart, and in the way I love and think and struggle so restlessly to figure out how to live.

I think that is what a grandfather is for, that and to offer love. Robin has entered the age of wonder and discovery, she sits up, rolls over and gazes thoughtfully at the world. She is curious and open.

Interface gates locked up for around 30 years could be re-opened following a consultation with people who live nearby.

The barrier, at Flax Street in North Belfast , is understood to have remained closed since the 1980s.

However, an SDLP councillor in the area, Paul McCusker, is pressing for the gates to be opened up on a part-time basis similar to other security gates in the city that are opened to facilitate traffic at busy periods.

The gates separate Ardoyne from the Crumlin Road but, unlike many similar barriers, are set up with two sets of gates with an empty space running along side the old Dunnes car park between the two barriers.

A DoJ spokesman confirmed they have met with Cllr McCusker “and other representatives from within the Ardoyne community” to “discuss Flax Street”.

The Ardoyne side of the Flax Street gate

They added: “We outlined our intention to consult with residents and other stakeholders in the next few months about the future of Flax Street. We are committed to working with community and statutory partners to bring forward plans regarding the potential opening of Flax Street.”

Cllr McCusker, an SDLP rep in the district, said congestion in the area has lead to safety fears for locals, especially with regard to schoolchildren crossing the road at busy times.

He added: “This week we met with DOJ and community reps to discuss the opening of the Flax Street gate given the health and safety concerns of congestion and increased traffic putting local children and residents at risk. This gate has been closed from the 1980s and restricts lots of residents from accessing the Crumlin Road.

Paul McCusker at the Flax Street barrier

“For some time now there has been ongoing dialogue with both communities through Ardoyne, Twaddell and the Shankill involving the Communities in Transition forum who meet regularly to work on improving relations between both communities.

“We have asked, given the health and safety concerns, that there is a phased approach to opening this gate similar to Lanark Way which is monitored and controlled by police. DOJ advised there will be further discussions with residents and TASCIT (Twaddell, Ardoyne, Shankill Communities in Transit) and they will report back on the outcome of this.”

Some Virginia lawyers will tell you that you can get anywhere from $115,000 to $1,000,00 for your broken leg after a car accident. However, no lawyer should answer that question without first knowing the details of your case.

In cases that involve a broken femur, fibula, or tibia bone, there are very specific costs that you will accrue during treatment. Because of your injury, you will accrue lost wages, medical bills, and out-of-pocket expenses. The settlement for your injury is based on these factors including other factors that the insurance company will evaluate.

Pre-existing conditions: Insurance companies can assert that your injury is the result of a pre-existing condition and deny your claim. A pre-existing condition can also affect your settlement amount. When you speak to an attorney, be upfront and honest about any illness and injuries that you may have had before the accident.

Claimant's Occupation: If your occupation is sedentary, this will affect the amount of money you will receive in a broken leg case. If your occupation keeps you at a desk most of the day, it might be difficult to claim lost wages.

Required Treatment: There are different types of bone fractures. Examples are compound fractures, simple fractures, stress fractures just to name a few. Certain types of fractures are more severe and require more treatment. If the treatment of your fracture is invasive, expensive, or complicated, you may receive more compensation.How much is your accident claim worth if you broke your leg?

Who you hire to represent your injury case matters and it will affect your compensation amount. Our free book The Truth about Lawyer Advertising will help you select the best attorney for your case. Order the hard copy or download the PDF today.
