![]() ![]() Detectors may be placed on the ceiling at a pinch, but never place the detector right next to or directly over a fireplace or flame-producing appliance. You don’t have to fix the alarm to a wall directly, as it will happily work equally well if placed securely on a shelf. Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall ideally about 5 feet above the floor, and preferably about 6 inches from the ceiling.If you are unsure how to best install the CO detector, then ask a qualified engineer to do it for you.Make sure you also read the full manufacturer’s instructions before installation. Before installation make sure the carbon monoxide detectors are Kite marked and meet all the stringent testing requirements of the region where the property is located.It is also advisable to install carbon monoxide detectors outside each bedroom or sleeping area, as the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning are almost impossible to detect when you’re asleep. You should install a carbon monoxide detector on on every level of your home including the basement and any attached garages. Whether you choose to install just a single or multiple carbon monoxide detectors in your property, it is important to install each of them strategically. Where is the optimum location to install a carbon monoxide detector? It’s also imperative that for extra security a carbon monoxide detector is placed in the same location as these appliances. So, it’s vital that these appliances are checked regularly and serviced by qualified and registered engineers. Fuel-burning appliances like gas boilers, gas fires and cookers are all potentially high-risk sources of CO if they are not maintained properly. Toxic carbon monoxide is produced when fuel is inefficiently burnt or not burnt properly. Most of these could have been avoided if households have fitted a carbon monoxide detector. In the UK alone, Department of Health and Social Care statistics show that carbon monoxide poisoning in homes is responsible for over 50 deaths and over 4,000 medical interventions each year. If a large amount of carbon monoxide is inhaled it will displace the oxygen in a person’s blood and ultimately deprive the heart, brain, and other vital organs the oxygen they need to function properly.Ĭarbon monoxide poisoning causes multiple deaths and hospitalisations every year worldwide. Why are carbon monoxide detectors so crucial for home safety? Well, because it is potentially lethal in confined and unventilated spaces. ![]() Therefore, the only way you’ll be able to identify its presence is by using a proven and respected carbon monoxide detector. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas that is both odourless and colourless. ![]()

In those instances where floor cleaning products are needed, the Indiana Memorial Union purchases products, which are water based and have low or no levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's). This has eliminated the need to purchase certain cleaning products.

The Real Food Challenge results are compatible with the Sustainability Tracking And Reporting Systems (STARS) of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). A course was created in the IU Geography department to perform this assessment every semester, and the results inform the purchasing decisions of IUB's three food providers: Residential Programs and Services (RPS), Sodexo in the Indiana Memorial Union, and IU Athletics Dining. At the 1st IU Food Summit in November 2013, a diverse group of stakeholders agreed to use the Real Food Challenge framework for this sustainability assessment. The Food Working Group draws on a sustainability assessment of all food products purchased by the University. The only cost to Indiana University is to palletize the tiles. Indiana University palletizes the old ceiling tiles, USG then sends a truck to pick up the pallets at no cost, and then USG recycles the old tiles back in to production. Indiana University has a contract with USG that allows Indiana University to recycle old ceiling tiles that have been replaced.

Why Sustainable Procurement at IU?Īs we face global issues in economy, energy, climate change, equity, water and food, it is time that Indiana University, as a leading institute of higher education, move towards sustainability. Definition adopted by the Task Force on Sustainable Public Procurement led by Switzerland (membership includes Switzerland, USA, UK, Norway, Philippines, Argentina, Ghana, Mexico, China, Czech Republic, State of Sao Paolo (Brazil), UNEP, IISD, International Labor Organization (ILO), European Commission (DG-Environment) and International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) and adopted in the context of the Marrakech Process on Sustainable Production and consumption led by UNEP and UN DESA. Sustainable Procurement is a process whereby organizations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that achieves value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits not only to the organization, but also to society and the economy, whilst minimizing damage to the environment. ![]() ![]() Skye crashes her plane and it's a flaming pile of scrap metal for a whole 5 minutes before it's back to normal for the last scene. What's actually surprising is that they took Marshall's clumsiness and slapped it on Rubble, so Marshall is left with no personality and actually seemed like the most competent pup on the team, which is a total 180 for him. Zuma and Rocky have even less personality and screen time than in the show, and they only got a shirt chance to show off their vehicles to advertise for their toys. It was just disappointing and I wouldn't have been disappointed or care either way about not getting backstory if they hadn't included it. They finally gave some backstory with Ryder finding an abandoned puppy Chase, but that's it, just 1 detail and a few seconds. Her vehicle also doesn't do anything cool. She could easily be written out of the movie and it would be an improvement, since she was basically a plot device to provide exposition about the city and add another merchandising opportunity (for Spin Master, not Ryder). She only adds to the team with "street smarts", which is portrayed as yelling at people in traffic. She breaks the normal theme of public workers (but I guess that ship sailed when they introduced super dogs and dinosaurs), and she doesn't really have a distinct role. She always has something to say and it's never interesting. Obligatory new pup Liberty was not my favorite. Also what happened to Foggy Bottom? Did he lose an election there? Or is he the Mayor of two cities? Is that legally possible? He says something about being not so honest, I don't know if that was because there was only one candidate or he actually did something to make the other candidate drop out. They completely gloss over how Humdinger won the election. However I had a few issues with it that firmly placed it as "ok" rather than "good": Their new vehicles were also awesome (expected from what basically boils down to a multi million dollar toy commercial). ![]() ![]() Like most Hollywoodifications of tv shows/video games, the animation was great, and unlike most Hollywoodifications it remained pretty faithful to the source material (though Paw Patrol lore isn't exactly deep). Sadly Ryder and Mayor Humdinger are too invested into the Dogs vs Cats debate to realize Mayor Goodway is trying to pass off chickens as good pets (they're not).Įveryone's being super positive here, and it's definitely not a bad movie. ![]() The tragedy is that if they are too busy fighting each other to realize how much they have in common. Much like Batman inadvertently created Joker Mayor Humdinger is created by Ryder because Jack wants to prove cats are just as awesome as dogs but doesn't have Ryder's vast resources. Jack ends up moving to Foggy Bottom and getting elected mayor. That person had a cat named Humdinger who also worked as a therapy animal. A good natured person took him in and helped him get back on his feet. Bruce starts a team of superhero dogs, instead of Batman he becomes Ryder.Īlso on Earth 256 Jack Napier had a traumatic upbringing and ended up homeless and doing horrible things to survive. Instead of spending billions of dollars on arms research Wayne industries spends billions of dollars training dogs to talk and for said dogs to teach people about recycling and water safety. ![]() Instead of funneling the family fortune into military contracting he starts funding research into creating dogs with human intelligence.

Every location is either in Eastern or Western Europe, and they’re all relics of the age of the great and cold wars. With their odd personalities and hammy voice acting, they wouldn’t be out of place in a Tin Tin serial. Your train’s automaton operator, Oscar, sticks out significantly for his normal mechanical detachment contrasted with his more human moments. It does a great job of creating this exaggerated, fascinating world, as though every character in every land feels like they came out of a different story from an old pulp book. Syberia‘s setting is easily one of its strongest aspects. As the game goes on, every area Kate enters becomes stranger and more dreamlike, as she’s forced to confront her feelings on the world she has to return to. She also discovers that Hans was a genius inventor responsible for the factory’s signature goods, clock and gear automatons. Thus, Kate has to track down the illusive heir and seal the deal. The owner died, and a surprise heir was revealed in the form of her brother Hans, still alive somewhere out in Siberia. The game followed Kate Walker, an American lawyer representing a law firm assisting in a deal to buy out an old factory in a small French town called Valadilène. With a team of 35 people and a budget of two million euros (!), Syberia came out in the same year as Post Mortem, stemming to break away from the first person style Sokal used in his last game ( Amerzone) to a more traditional third person view. So what makes the series stick out to so many? What does it do that’s so rare? Still, that good will was so strong that these games have been ported all over the place, and it even earned a third game many years later. The series has been applauded for its art direction and surprisingly mature themes (by that, I mean actually mature as it explores themes of age and personal fulfillment and not shoot shoot bang titty curse word), but also flogged for simplistic mechanics. It’s become one of the most treasured and remembered works in Microïds library, though not without a lot of debate attached. You'll enjoy a beautiful story about a woman helping an old man fulfilling his lifelong dreams.Designed by comic artist Benoît Sokal and developed by Microïds, the Syberia series has become an odd little chapter in the history of point and click adventure games. I think you should give these two games (the first 2 are the only ones I've played at the moment) a try even if you're not so much into these types of games. This game's not part of my childhood, nor did I play any other graphic adventures on my childhood, yet again the atmosphere, the mood, the music, the characters and the story make me feel nostalgic of a time I haven't lived and that may not even exist. this game's also beautiful, and it makes me very nostalgic for a reason I cannot explain, as I played the first one just a year ago. Besides that, this is an old game, which means it's more or less ugly (that's subjective), clunky, sometimes it requires way too much backtracking, the pacing is not so good, many dialogues are nonsensical and many puzzles are barely explained.īut the thing is. I prefer to have a little more control of the main character than only using a mouse cursor to tell them where to go. The thing is I don't really like point-and-click graphic adventures so much. I just played Syberia 2 and I just wanted to share a little review and a feeling this game gives me.

![]() ![]() Bolt-cropping on the links was middling, but on the lock shackle much more impressive. The Homie is well protected against corrosion and hammer tests didn’t affect it either. When using the Homie, be careful not to drop it onto a frame tube becaues that 4.2kg of weight will cause some damage. The individual links are made from hardened steel, as is the shackle to protect the cylinder lock. The Homie, at 1.5m long, is designed to thread through multiple bikes, and as the name suggests, is for home use. The Hiplok Homie Chain Lock is ideal for home use. It didn’t last long against the angle grinder though. Torsion tests had little effect, and it proved itself in the tensile test too. The Litelok took a massive amount of abuse (222.5kN) from the bolt cropper. A standard blade sawed through the cables in 52 seconds and just 15 with a tungsten blade. It performed perfectly after weather testing, and chilling and hammering only left a dent in the lock case. The flexible nature makes it adaptable to what you lock it to, though it can be a little stiff, so hold the pressure while pushing the two locking ends together. The design keeps weight down and provides plenty of flexibility.Ĭarrying the lock is easy, either leave it straight and strap to your top tube or lock it into its circular shape and strap it between the seat and top tube. The Litelok Gold’s design combines a heavyweight disc lock mechanism with a mushroom stud and socket connection set within a sturdy steel casing joined by a nylon mesh-clad series of steel cables. ![]() Shackle size: 265mm (circular diameter).The Litelok Gold proved surprisingly effective in testing. You will definitely need a second lock or some accessory cables to properly secure all the extremities of your ride though. The relatively shallow shackle is bolstered by a big 85mm width, so even with its compact size our tester was still able to safely get it through the frame and back wheel of their bike. Only a lowly performance on the tensile (pull) test gave any cause for concern, but being able to withstand 28kN is more than enough to see off most compact, portable bottle jacks easily. It’s built to last with excellent weather protection, and it’s a tough cookie when it comes to sawing, twisting and grinding. These ergonomic touches add a little extra to what is a solid-performing little lock. It makes carrying easy thanks to the two built-in prongs that are designed to slip into your jeans pocket, or behind a belt. Hiplok’s DX combines a compact D-lock with a casing that protects your bike with soft-touch materials. The Hiplok DX is a good shout if you’re looking for a lock to take with you on the go. ![]() ![]() ![]() It has resonated through time in famous logos like Vogue and Calvin Klein, and is a great font to consider for mainstream fashion brands.Īs you’ll see below, Bodoni has a lot in common with the Didot family of typefaces because it was created around the same time in history.

That’s your chance to let the speaker know what you think, and it’s an excellent opportunity to use the notes (whether written or mental) that you took while you listened. Share Your Insight on The Topicįinally, after you’ve correctly understood the message, you can share your insight on it. That way, if there are any hiccups or any points to be understood, you can revise them and clarify them. This point is mainly used in written communication, yet you can also apply it to live verbal communication.Īfter listening and posing questions, quickly go through the main points of the message with the speaker, confirming if your understanding matches the message that he intended to transmit. If possible, write down your questions and ask them once the speaker is done talking and once he has given you the space for it. For unclear points or those you haven’t entirely understood, pose questions that will help you clarify them.īe mindful not to interrupt the speaker, though. Take notes, as you listen, of the central and most essential points of the message. With that being said, do make sure you reflect on what you listened to, as that gives you better chances of being on the same thought level as the speaker. This point might seem contradictory since I’ve told you to refrain from passing judgment, yet, as I said before, there’s a difference between reflecting and passing judgment.Ī reflection is an analysis with the intention of deep understanding, while passing judgment is exterior and a mechanism that anticipates a response or reaction. These things are helpful to reassure the speaker that you are listening but only when you’re actually taking in the message. Nodding with your head affirmatively or saying that you understand it will not serve you much if it’s not true. Yet, make sure you’re truthful when doing it. Show That You’re Present in Mind and Body and Give FeedbackĪlthough you should make sure you don’t waste a ton of time affirming that you’re listening and trying to seem present, providing feedback through your body language and verbal affirmations is essential in active listening. Although analyzing what we hear and forming an opinion about it is essential, passing judgment is mostly a barrier to proper understanding.īy winning the urge to engage in your thoughts about what you hear, you will allow yourself to listen from a neutral point, expanding, therefore, your perspective. ![]() Most times, we listen to respond or judge what’s being said. If you can master this step, you’re well on your way to learning active listening. The first key to active listening practice is the deliberate effort to pay attention to what is being said and focus on the message beyond the word choice. If you want to master this technique and use it effectively, there’s a list of practices that you should consider trying.
