Memories of West Wind in the 1960s

In the small group of pioneers who brought a new industry to life in the 1960s, was the youngest apprentice, Keith Fidgett, and it was the sad news that Keith had lost his wife Jean, brought the memories of those challenging days back to mind. The company, which started life as West Wind Turbines Ltd was founded in 1963, Britain's first generation of industrial tools including gas-lubricated bearings to design and manufacture, is performed based on the basic research at the University of Southampton. After supplying international markets with a number of spindles with air bearings, the company changed its name to Westwind air bearing, a name given is up today.

When Keith Fidgett the youngest was at West Wind in the 1960s, was Walter Kammerling is one of the oldest. A refugee from the Nazi takeover of Austria, Walter had come to England at the age of 16 and obtained professional qualifications in both the mechanical and electrical engineering. As chief engineer, he played a central role in the practical application of the new technology, and in 1964 he was the forty rotating senior member of a relatively young team. Now 91, Walter Kammerling has been published in the fate of Holocaust recently the harrowing story of his family. He had by his colleagues at Westwind for his high professional skills and total integrity in memory.

The secret air bearing manufacturing was a new level of precision engineering and to realize in the early days, involved the process at a level of honing perhaps fate never been achieved before. But the early gas-lubricated machines might never have been made with the required accuracy for the genius of Lesley Somers. Still the old imperial unit of inches in the 1960s with a bearing bore of a tenth of a thousandth of an inch in Lesley could match what he would happily call a quick thrill. Les, as he was known to his colleagues, was for many years the jovial Welsh heart of a precision manufacturing operation.

to play a key role in the development of new products was a development engineer Michael Sturm. A veteran of a gas lubrication test program at the Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd., Mike came to West Wind technology in manufacturing applied to see. As an essential factor for the introduction of a series of innovative products, served Mike Tempest Westwind until retirement and has been retained as a consultant for several years after.

Few of the pioneers were mentioned but Westwind Air Bearings still manufactures high-speed precision micro hole drilling spindles for the worlds electronics industry and claims to command seventy percent of the global market. Most computers, mobile phones and other widespread electronic aids to modern life included micro holes drilled Westwind products. The company has thousands of person-years of employment and earned millions of pounds from exports, thanks to this happy band of pioneers and many worthy heirs provided that they succeeded.

Boise, Idaho - Still Racist?

Boise, Idaho - Still Racist?

Boise, Idaho has a long lived, eventful history of perceived racism of United States citizens in our great country. Personally, I'm originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, the home of our late President Gerald R. Ford. I grew up in a place where my mother launcher was designated for our neighborhood softball team as the ghetto All-Stars. I am African-American and graduated from Mountain Home High School in Idaho, where I played for former Olympic basketball great Ed Palubinskas.

Boise, Idaho ... well, let us first to definitely an area of ​​very few African-Americans say, but oh man, there are a lot of Hispanics speak only in terms on any other race except Caucasians throughout the state of Idaho. abruptly for the State University Broncos Boise Cheering, these days, is what it's all about as far as the Boiseans are affected. Sales, sales, sales!

Many dollars are for the community of Boise and the "White Collar" guys from Boise corporate world generated, of which I "stares and stares" of at the local Boise Family YMCA on a daily basis to get. Go figure, I look like the same children at the skilled positions of Boise State football and Boise State University basketball that they (the whites) cheer on a weekly basis. Oh, the cheering is prohibited because of money wagered after wins or produced or influenced by the alcoholic stimulation of a few cans of Coors Light!

Regardless, it is of course, I spend my fair share of time at the Boise State University and I personally do not see congratulatory hand shakes or appreciative gestures that is to African-American player ever given by the citizens of the community. I can not remember the last time I heard former Boise State University and NBA players, Chris of the child on the radio or message name, and he is a multi-millionaire! I think no one in Boise, getting a hand-out scored by him ... ... say a little we, $ 500,000 to $ 1 million!

The fact that Community melting pot of visitors and local traffic as the Boise Public Library, Boise main post office and get it well ... the local media, including television (KTVB channel 7, KIVI channel 6 and KBCI channel 2), radio and print, not employ African Americans on a consistent basis, worries me to a certain degree. The reason for this, one would conclude that African Americans are either flipping job of these organizations provides (a means to earn a living) or simply not the positions will be offered primarily (that's so 1960-ish)! I'd be willing to bet $ 11 million that work done or has to, would welcome arms are received as a way to provide for themselves and their families, regardless of during their internships African American children in school whether the position is primarily to "white" Boise, Idaho. In other words, the jobs are not offered and definitely no interviews. The last time I saw an African-American messages in Boise reporting, I think Milli Vanilli was still perceived as REAL!

Either way racism comes from the dining tables of ignorance. Generations of ignorant people who just do not have enough seen Martin Luther King Jr.'s, Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, and oh yeah ... Barack Obama our nation's first black president. Please, just once, give me the opportunity to see an African-American news reporter or journalist. Please, just once, give me a chance, a former black Boise State athlete in Radio presented (rather than some "halfway" from Fruitland, Idaho, to see that I have seen at a local sports events Puttin around 8 beers and then drive his wife and children back home), please, just once, give me a chance to give my money order to an African-American on the Boise Local post.

Get this ... I have in the Boise YMCA Local Whirlpool not sat with more than 5 different African-Americans (the hook is, I have been a member for almost a decade, and I'm in the hot-tub 3- 4 days / week)! In other words, we (African-Americans), un-President are still strange for Boiseans, still less to Boiseans nor like Boiseans nor ... is Boise still racist?

I can not help but imagine if Boise State senior, "Bush" Hamdan whose real name is something like Jibran (Arabic), were not benched in favor of freshman quarterback Kellen Moore, if ticket sales or the number victory would have dropped. In other words, with Boise State Football Schedule ... could my grandmother played quarterback and led them in the Rose Bowl! Why not give an ethical endorsement of sorts to a senior (although his name from the roots of Islam). I thought, when he changed his name to "BUSH" would certainly give him the nod ... NOT !!!

How bout "if African-American quarterback Nate Sparks of Boise State (even during his senior year) was allowed to settle in favor of a second year, which led the team to what someone has done on the basis of their schedule could. in other words, it always seems to be a rally cry "whites" from Boise to be in terms of which is shouldered cold for the position of quarterbacks in the Boise State University. you can not tell me that the ethical responsibilities treat our communities beloved athletes University at Boise State is respected hearing calls throughout Boise;. my opinion is that so many Boiseans forget that these children are some of the comments here at local venues, the Games do on TV! show are absurd!

Let us not forget the turn-out, when Barack Obama came to Boise Taco Bell Arena. Oh man, I was there on that cold, cold, cold morning. Husbands of women who have been out of warm beds in the early hours of the morning AM "Ticked" got to say the least. None-the-less, they stood in line for a very long time. In fact, by the time I got to the doors, felt my fingers like a frozen snicker bar, if it's the only thing in the freezer without society!

Each hip hop hoorayin, takin pictures smilin, laughin, shakin hands like crazy. Oh yeah ... Obama the state of Idaho through the 2nd largest margin of any state in America lost (the fron-runner was Utah and believe me, Boiseans seem almost jealous of)!

Is Boise still racist? Ask to find African-Americans with college degrees who applied for bank teller positions in Boise, only white children or even Hispanic (anything but African Americans) with GED's received the position; to find white kids or even Hispanics (anything but African Americans) with GED asking African Americans with college degrees who have applied for the basic production jobs at Micron Technology and Hewlett Packard, only received the position (that's so 1960 -ish); ask African Americans with college degrees who have applied for the basic entry-level jobs at even temporarily services, not even to find only white kids or even Hispanics (anything but African Americans) with GED (and in some cases a "Green Card ! was awarded the position ') (which is so 1960-ish); ask African Americans with college degrees who have so applied only for the basic beginner telemarketing jobs at local Boise telephone companies to find white kids or even Hispanics (anything but African Americans) with GED's received the position (that is 1960- ish), well ... it's a good thing, Idaho only 4 represents electorals in presidential elections, Barack or would not be and that brings me .. this! . why was it such a big investment for a man who nobody voted seemingly in Idaho? is it so attractive (that's so 1960-ish)? is he as creative (that's so 1960-ish)? is he as assertive ( that's so 1960-ish)? Is he married to our nations first black president of our nation very, very, very first African-American FIRST LADY (that's so ... 2009)?

The Verju Green Laser: Non-invasive cellulite and fat reduction!

The Verju Green Laser: Non-invasive cellulite and fat reduction!

Is it at all possible - a real reduction of cellulite, and a real reduction of the disturbing fat deposits with measurable loss of inches, via a simple, completely non-invasive, 100% painless , comfortable office treatment? The short answer is: Yes! The long answer should start with a very brief overview of how this came about all.

The Zerona is a medical device that came into public use about 5 years ago. It is a low-level laser therapy (LLLT) device which a known red (635 nm) surface laser used colored - a so-called "cold" laser - which produces no heat and no combustion, as on the surface the skin shines (ie completely non-invasive and completely painless). Yet the laser light energy is harmless through the skin and through the fat cells "trick" only absorbed to it melts in itself! Based Research and 20+ medical journal articles demonstrate to over 15+ years its validity, the Zerona FDA received 510 (k) clearances from 2010 to 2013 for the "non-invasive reduction of the arms, waist, hip and thigh circumference" about fat loss. have follow-up studies significant scope reductions (such as a 3.5-inch total loss vs. 0.6 inches for placebo!) Replicates a result of a full course of treatment (usually a series 5-6 treatment sessions) and with the results as persistent documented out long term for at least one year! This is not a temporary fat "redistribution" or a transient decrease in tissue fluids. The studies were conducted with participants in no change in nutrition agree, no change in the level of activity or movement, and NO concomitant therapies on board to be alone in a position to see the actual results of Zerona LLLT treatments which would be. The results were often noted to be visible in less than 2 weeks! Keep in mind that the loss of 3.5 inches total seen in the research topics corresponds to a loss of about 12,600 calories! This is the equivalent of 42 cheeseburgers or 72 boxes of ice! 12,600 calories represents a loss of about 2000cc (that is 4 - 5 pounds) of pure fat! in an attempt to burn the exercise of that number of calories it would take 40 hours swimming 18 hours jogging or with some 21 hours of tennis When you!

low-level laser therapy (LLLT) causes transient, lipid pore draining to open cells in fat (adipose tissue), under the skin only - there is no necrosis, no thermal damage, no cellular disorder, destruction, or lysis. Lipid liquefaction is excited and the stored fat slowly but surely licking his way out. All affected cells are drained of their fat and as they begin more and more empty, the fat cells to collapse and shrink. This laser stimulates leaky pores remain open for about 48 hours or more, resulting in more and more fat cells emptying and shrinkage for some 2 - 3 days after treatment. A known natural enzymatic type connection of the body - cyclic AMP - is the key in all of this. The laser light absorption tilt switch, which some cytochrome C oxidase activation called that then opens all the pores directly this enzyme. This is the same exact mechanism triggered by aggressive diet or exercise! After treatment actually show trials microscope histology open the pores! After that we can actually see and track the fat cells - Hundreds of thousands of them - all collapse and shrink are released as their lipids, followed by a 25% decrease in subcutaneous fat layer thickness. Dr. Rodrigo Neira's investigations showed that the pores open and the fat cells begin to empty, after 18 minutes the skin LLLT to be exposed! He also revealed that although the fat cells release their contents, the cells remain viable and not damaged. The fat cells are involved in hormone production / control and many other important body functions. We do not want killed or gone it, we want them to be just as small and as its fat reserves as possible emptied! Dr. Neira results were independently confirmed by other researchers. MRI showed fat emulsification (fat melting / emptying) as deep as 5.0 cm (2 to 3 inches) below the skin.

You have heard of the Marvel superhero "The Green Lantern"? Now, we have called the device Verjú our superhero "Green Laser" because Verjú is the next step in the development of this amazing breakthrough noninvasive fat melting technology! The Verjú Green Laser uses a unique green (532nm) low level (16 mW) diode laser light, which produces about as much discomfort on the skin as would a flashlight on them shiny (ie, no!). Verjú provides about 25% more pore opening, fat melting energy to the fat cells than any red laser (the Zerona). This necessarily leads to a decrease in the overall treatment time about Zerona, to achieve the results. In a 2014 study in the prestigious American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery reported a total of 4 inches in circumference reduction were seen in just 2 weeks! Studies have also shown a 0.25 inch to an inch reduction with only one session! Only patients with significant, advanced cellulite (Nürnburger-Muller scale Cellulite classification levels 2 or 3) attended the cellulite part of this study. These patients showed that after 2 weeks 65% significant improvement in their cellulite (compared to 3% improvement in the placebo group!) Had After 4 weeks there was a 89% satisfaction rate (over 26% satisfaction rate in the placebo group). There are no known side effects. With Verjú The Verjú Green laser does not damage delete any tissue. Patients can be continued all the typical daily activities without interruption, ie no downtime or recovery time of any kind!

As the Verjú Green laser work? As you relax, lying check on a convenient table / bed your emails or watch a movie, 5 green laser light patterns controlled by a computer monitor to dance their way harmlessly through the skin to absorb under in the fat and cellulite. Your waist, abdomen, hips and thighs begin to decline as melted fat and cellulite is reduced. Total treatment time is about 30 minutes. Read, sleep, talk to your iPhone - you can do what you want while you are there, how it works. Galvanic Lymphmassage each region is then done to assist in the absorption and processing of the dissolved lipids and fat. These lipids are processed in the same manner as all lipids are normally processed by the body's lymphatic vessels and delivered to the liver - eventually burned as carbon dioxide from. That's right, you will literally breathe your fat away! No pain, no heat, no freezing, no discomfort, no needles, no injections, no cuts. Zero Pain, zero surgery, zero downtime. Put your daily routine immediately after a treatment session. Although no changes in your diet or exercise are needed for best results and maximum benefits, it is highly recommended that you optimize these also. Where can Verjú go to work on the improvement of cellulite for you and reduces fat? The stomach (abdomen), the back / sides, hips, thighs, buttocks, love handles, hips, arms and cellulite pretty much anywhere!

More and more exciting news about the Verjú Green laser these days is in the making. Leptin is a hormone that is released from fat cells. Leptin stimulates hunger and increases appetite. Preliminary studies of leptin according Verjú green laser fat cell shrinkage have indicated a reduction of leptin levels! Other ongoing studies suggest that it takes real and measurable decrease in cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL levels after a series of Verjú Green laser treatments! And what news could be more interesting for diabetics than to hear better Hgb A1-C levels and better glucose levels following Verjú Green Laser treatments for cellulite and fat reduction were seen!

The Verjú Green laser was 510 (k) FDA for non-invasive cellulite reduction and non-invasive fat reduction body in January 2014 cleared contouring of the waist, hips and thighs. The Verjú Green Laser was established in May 2014 to date on "The Doctors" TV show, Verjú the only non -invasive FDA for the treatment of cellulite deleted device. The Verjú Green Laser harmless and elegant appears to be a large and completely non-invasive way to reduce excess body fat and reduce the appearance of cellulite!
