![]() Past experimental studies focused mainly on the validity and novelty of half-grouted sleeve splices. To evaluate the performance of the specimens, based on the experimental data, simple ratios comprising the yield, strength, ductility and capacity ratios were discussed and proposed. ![]() The mortar coating had no significant effect on the connection performance of the specimens. When the strip off rib length coefficient reached 100%, compared with a specimen with no defects, the average tensile capacity of the sleeves splice of 12 mm and 20 mm diameter rebars were decreased by 26.5% and 58.3%, respectively. Moreover, the bond strength between the rebar and grout decreased significantly, while the strip off rib length increased. The load-displacement responses of the specimens occurring due to rebar failure were similar. The test results show that the failure modes of the specimens can be divided into rebar tensile failure and rebar bond slip failure. The strip off rib length-to-embedded length ratios (0.3, 0.5, and 1), the proportion of mortar coating surface area along the embedded length (0.5 and 1), and the rebar diameter (12 mm and 20 mm) were investigated. A total of 12 groups of specimens were tested to study the effects of bonding defects on the bearing capacity, failure modes, and strain distribution of the grouted sleeve splice. strip off ribs or mortar coatings of connecting rebar, which may lead to inadequate cohesiveness between the rebar and grout.

![]() ”Įven if you’re willing to accept the risk of sports betting with your credit card, spiraling spending isn’t the only potential downside. This ban came after a 2019 study by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission found “22% of online gamblers using credit cards (were) problem gamblers, with even more suffering some form of gambling harm. ”Īnd in Great Britain, where online sports betting has been legalized and widely available for much longer, the use of credit cards was banned in 2020. But in a 2021 study on general credit card spending, MIT’s Sloan School of Management found that by reducing the pain of payment, “(credit cards) ‘step on the gas’ by driving motivation to spend. is so new, data is scarce on the exact impact of credit card use for American gamblers. Yet he stopped short of noting any specific correlation between problem gambling and credit card use, citing a lack of research.īecause legal online sports betting in the U.S. “Using a credit card for gambling is definitely higher risk,” said Keith Whyte, executive director of the National Council on Problem Gambling. Of the $15.5 billion total expected wager on this year’s March Madness, it’s unknown what fraction will be placed using credit cards, though betting operators argue that it’s a relatively small percentage. Of those, only a handful specifically prohibit the use of credit cards to fund bets. Since the 2018 overturn of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which lifted a 26-year federal ban on online sports betting, more than 35 states have legalized the practice in some form. But because online sports betting has become so accessible, many more may walk the same road. He knew he needed help, and has since joined Gamblers Anonymous and registered for a debt recovery program. Finally, after a crushing late-night loss on a particularly big bet, Matt confessed it all to his wife. That hot streak never came, though, and the credit card debt piled up. “I legitimately thought that I was going to start to get on a hot streak and win it all back.” Monopoly money,” Cappelen said.Įach month, he used gambling winnings to make the next minimum payment on his credit cards, never worrying about how he would repay the debt. “You feel like you’re playing with fake money or play money. Up to 90% of that, he says, was done on credit cards. But in the three years since, Cappelen built up $83,000 in gambling debts on sites like Bovada and FanDuel. ![]() Between archiving, deleting, and a getting scooped up by the spam filter, so many of them go unread. ![]() Emails, on the other hand, are just far too easy to ignore. We look at what constitutes a 'Campaign', and its relation to 'Messages' and 'Events'. In fact, text messages have a 98% open rate, with 90% of those text messages being read in the first 3 minutes. In this video we provide an overview of the Wired Client Platform. Wired Client uses text messages to communicate with patients because of how difficult they are to leave unread. But the best part of all is that it will still look like these text messages were sent from a cellphone, giving the messages a personal touch. All of their replies are fed into the app, so you don’t need to worry about being bothered on your personal phone outside of business hours. Wired Client uses a local area code phone number to text your patients. It’s not uncommon for therapists and office staff to share their personal cellphone number with patients so that they can have text message conversations.

Wired Clients provides a personal touch without needing to divulge your personal information. Some of the savvier users have actually included a link to their patient self-booking app so that patients can schedule the appointment themselves entirely on their own.Ĭlick here to read about how to use the FREE patient self-booking app. You can setup Wired Client to automatically send them a text message inviting them back into the clinic. active clients), yet have not scheduled any new appointments. This allows them to open up a spot in their calendar for a patient who needs it.Īs mentioned above, Wired Client is able to identify patients who have not been discharged (i.e. And even if they aren’t able to make it to the appointment, Wired Client allows the patient to respond to the text message and give the clinic a heads up that they won’t be able to make it. By sending a patient a text message prior to their next appointment, it reduces the chances of them forgetting it. Wired Client beta testers have reported that the system has played a direct role in reducing cancellations. ![]() But now Wired Client is identifying these patients and sending them text messages automatically. In other cases, they’d run the client fall-off report to see who’s stopped showing up for appointments. For example, admin staff used to physically call patients to remind them about upcoming appointments. Wired Client is helping clinics reduce the amount of time (and money) they had previously dedicated to administrative tasks. But what is it about Wired Client that’s striking a chord? In this article, we’re going to talk about some of our key takeaways from the beta test. Since September 2018, clinics have been using Wired Client to communicate with their patients. The 1984 tournament held similar results for the Rams squad. The Rams lost their second-round game by the same margin to No. ![]() 12 seed La Salle in the first round and were eliminated in the second round by No. The Rams would return to the tournament in 1983. 4 Tennessee in overtime in the second round 56–58. 12 Long Island before being eliminated by No. 5 seed in the East region and defeated No. The Rams entered the tournament as the No. The following year the Rams posted a 24–5 record on their way to the Sun Belt Conference regular season and Conference tournament championships. It would not be long before the Rams returned to the tournament. 12 seed in the East Region and were eliminated in the first round by No. Barnett in VCU's first season in the Sun Belt. VCU received their first bid to the NCAA Tournament in the 1979–1980 season with an 18–12 overall record and Sun Belt Conference tournament championship led by then first-year VCU Head Coach J.D. It is the first post-season tournament championship, excluding conference tournaments, in the history of the program. The Rams became the first team to sweep the best of 3 championship series in the CBI post-season tournament on their way to becoming the 2010 CBI Champions. During Barnett's six years coaching the team, only twice did the Rams not win the Sun Belt Conference. Barnett, the Rams earned fourth berths into the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship, each being their first four berths, the first coming in 1980. It would take 10 more seasons before the Rams appeared in a postseason tournament, earning a berth into the 1978 National Invitation Tournament being eliminated in the first round by the University of Detroit. Coached by Benny Dees and assisted by Landy Watson and Vann Brackin for their first two seasons, Dees led the team to two winning records, before being replaced by Chuck Noe. In the 1968–69 season as an independent team, the program played its first ever season. The VCU Rams men's basketball program was founded in 1968, at the same time as the merger of the Richmond Professional Institute and the Medical College of Virginia. VCU reached the NCAA tournament a state record seven consecutive times from 2011 to 2017. In another NCAA Tournament-first, VCU became the first team ever to forfeit a game in the NCAA Tournament when their First Round game in the 2021 NCAA tournament was declared a no-contest due to several positive COVID-19 tests in the VCU program. Thus, VCU became the first team to advance from the "First Four" to the Final Four. In 2011, the Rams' journey to the Final Four began in one of the four opening round games, commonly called "play-in" games, intended to narrow the field from 68 to 64 teams. While the team had made nine NCAA Tournament appearances beforehand, never had the Rams made it beyond the second round of the tournament. ![]() The team is known for its Final Four run in the 2011 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. The official student supporter group is known as the Rowdy Rams. The Rams have also won twelve regular season championships four from the Sun Belt, five from the CAA, and three in the Atlantic 10. Additionally, the Rams won the 2010 CBI tournament and have ten conference tournaments three being in the Sun Belt Conference, five being in the Colonial Athletic Association, and two in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Virginia Commonwealth has made it to the NCAA Final Four once in its program's history, in 2011. Siegel Center in Richmond, Virginia on the university's Monroe Park campus. Since 1999, the team has played home basketball games at the E.J. With a valuation of $56.9 million, VCU ranked second in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and second in the A-10 Conference. ![]() In 2017, VCU was ranked the 40th most valuable men's basketball program in the country by The Wall Street Journal. The Rams joined the Atlantic 10 Conference in the 2012–13 season after previously competing in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). The VCU Rams men's basketball team is the intercollegiate men's basketball team that represents Virginia Commonwealth University. On the iPad version of the app, there is a view option that trims the white/blank borders of a document so that just the text part of the document shows up. Here are a couple things I would like to see: Though I think this app is the best PDF reader available, I do think there is room for improvement. The options for annotating documents, running split screens, etc. PDF Expert is wonderfully integrated into my workflow. It is an especially useful app if, like me, you are pretty deep into the Microsoft ecosystem: I have Readdle’s PDF Expert on my iPhone, iPad, Windows, and Pc and, with the help of Dropbox, I can sealmlessly move between my devices without having to do things like email to myself whatever document I’m working on. As an academic, I use Readdle’s PDF reader daily-it is perhaps my most used app. This is the best PDF reader out there, in my opinion. all the currently open) PDF files, which will then be used later to open all previously working files at once by simple double-clicking the playlist file. This will allow one to create a playlist file linking to specific (eg. Personally, I would be really happy if the future edition provides a PLAYLIST function. All these powerful functions can be done without eating up system resources.Īnother pretty powerful feature is that one can open two windows from a single file-for example, the left window shows page 3 whereas the right window shows the page 7 of the same document, a truly powerful feature for side-by-side analysis of different segments of a single PDF. As far as annotation is concerned, one can use an open PDF page as if it is an open canvas inside Photoshop. Simple dragging any image into an open PDF page, in addition to editing/cropping/re-positioning of pre-existing images, is also super helpful, if one uses PDF files as a notebook. For example, you can very easily print only a certain portion of a page by simply removing other elements (figures, text, etc) to save ink. In particular, annotating and feature-editing is now remarkably powerful and reliable. In its new editions (2.X), PDF Expert has established truly praise-worthy feats in several fronts. I spend bulk of my time reading PDF files, while making heavy annotations on them. ![]() If you are a student, researcher or any other professional… just get it! Money well spend. In general I recommend this App without hesitation. HINT!! Will be good a OCR capability for those pdf that shows books in picture mode. Something is wrong with the app that needs improvement? not so much in my opinion… but sometime I can’t read the title of the book that I am looking at because the taps becomes small with many doc open at the same time. The first and most awesome feature in my opinion, is the ability to open (like I said before :o) 10+ heavy professional book and make one search between all of them at the same time without any crash at all!! The app make a list of the findings so you can jump to the page in any of the book opened at that moment. The option to make any index in any document or just edit the current’s ones is the second best feature. My third favorite thing is that I can open more than one screen of the app, each-one with 5 to 10+ professional books. Now my 3 favorites characteristics from 3 to 1. I think that because of dedicated folder inside the iCloud for your pdfs, the management of those documents is very reliable between devices. ![]() I am normally using PDF Expert in 2 different iPad and the Windows mini2011 at the same time. For the last 5 years I have been using iAnnotate, Acrobat Reader DC and other minor apps for PDF purposes.

If the keypad is AC powered, plug it onto the outlet. If the keypad is mounted to the wall, re-attach its mounting plate by aligning the mounting holes in the keypad case with the mounting clips. Put the batteries in the negative and positive terminals as shown in the compartment. Remember to replace all three batteries at once to ensure normal operation over the anticipated battery lifetime. Use three AA, 1.5 volt, alkaline batteries. ![]() You are now ready to replace the battery of your Honeywell keypad. On the back of the keypad, remove the battery compartment cover and remove the old batteries. If it is wall-mounted, lift the keypad straight up and then out to separate the keypad from the mounting plate. If your keypad is AC-powered, make sure to pull the plug. Make sure to disarm your system first by entering a security code and then 1. Photo courtesy of visor69 via Pixabay Step 1: Turn it off That was easy, right? Now, if you have a wireless keypad that needs its batteries to be replaced, there’s also a way to do that. But if the low battery condition does not go away on its own, entering programming and then exiting will reset it. Sometimes the battery will require a few hours to fully charge when you first put it on. Your security system now have a new lease on life. Step 6: Make sure the trouble condition clears Connect the black wire to the black terminal and the red wire to the red terminal. Remember the black and red wires? Attach them again to the simple clips of the same color. This will remind you if you need to replace the battery again in the future. A quick tip: write down the installation date of the new battery and tape it to the battery. You are now ready to install your new Honeywell alarm battery, which is usually a 12-volt, 4-Amp hour battery. Now that you have successfully removed the wires, take out the battery and put it aside. They are usually very easy to pull off, but may require some force in the connectors are tight. There are two wires attached to the battery: one black and one red. Once you have opened the can door, you will see the battery resting at the bottom. To make the process of changing the battery easier, you may just pull off the door and set it aside after you get it open. Vista systems come with a lock and key to make unwanted tampering more difficult. Step 2: Unlock the can doorĪfter you have silenced the system, go to the main can which is usually in your closet or basement. Press the # key or enter your code followed by 1 to silence it temporarily. Generally when the battery needs to be replaced, your keypad will be beeping at you to remind you. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to replace the battery of your Honeywell alarm system main panel. Just like Honeywell alarm kits, replacing some parts is something you can do yourself. Does it take a tech expert to replace a Honeywell alarm battery? No, it does not. For Honeywell, batteries have to be replaced between 3 and 7 years depending on the unit or model. A busted battery is one of the top causes for alarm system trouble. You have to make sure that all of its elements are being maximized and functioning well.Īmong the main components of a home alarm system is the battery. But technology is only as useful as you want it to be. Its line of alarms and home security systems do more than just protect homes but also connect them. Honeywell, the leading global manufacturer of security solutions, is catering to a new generation of customers with its extensive technology portfolio. This is why home and business owners invest in security systems that are helpful in preventing burglary and other emergencies. When times have become more dangerous, people cannot take chances.

It works just as well if you're listening to a song you want more info on, or texting with a friend who's making references to a movie you have no idea about. It scans your screen in less than a second and offers up what it thinks you need, in this case the entry for the restaurant with options to call and make a booking, see the menu, read reviews or get map directions to the place. Instead of, for example, chatting about dinner plans with your friends over Facebook Messenger and then switching to a browser so you can Google a restaurant somebody just mentioned, you just activate Google Now. On Tap is really designed to bring Google search results out of the web browser and into your apps, where you probably spend most of your time, and it works really well. The most obvious new feature, however, is Google Now on Tap. Marshmallow makes a lot of refinements, including a more complete and seamless backup and restore system, expanded "Do Not Disturb" settings (which took getting used to but are better than the previous "silent mode" solution), and a smarter way of handling app access permissions so you don't have to worry about signing your life away every time you install something new. ![]() ![]() The 5X and 6P are the first phones to get Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and even once it's available elsewhere you'll be guaranteed to get new features and updates first on these phones. Google Marshmallow, including Now On TapĪ big draw of the Nexus phones is the idea of getting Android as intended by Google, without any apps added by your telco and without any modifications to the operating system made by manufacturers. Despite having a "fingerprint and smudge-resistant oleophobic coating" on it, however, I found myself wiping off smudges constantly. But one benefit of the screen? It makes use of Corning Gorilla Glass 4, the latest in toughened smartphone screen glass. The display is just as sharp and lovely as you'd expect from LG, even though it puts out an unadventurous 1080p image (totally fine at this size), and the subtle curved bump on the rear that allows for the camera is much more preferable to the sharp edges on some other phones.Īlthough the screen is 0.3 inches larger than the iPhone 6s Plus screen (the 6P has a 5.7-inch screen the iPhone 6s Plus a 5.5-inch screen), it's barely noticeable when using the phone unless you put it next to the iPhone. It feels smaller than it is, which is ideal. The bezels are thin and the soft edges mean the whole phone fits much more comfortably in one hand than, say, Sony's similarly-sized Z5. The phone is priced accordingly though, so it's not a huge downer.Īt 5.2-inches I love the size of the 5X's screen. That's not to say it feels gross (the texture is a bit like that of an egg shell), just kind of light and insubstantial. It's hard not to feel like the 5X is being presented as the mid-range option to the 6P's flagship, as while they're similar in many ways the plastic-on-plastic finish on the smaller phone is a bit cheap. While nice and anonymous-looking from the front, the rear of the 5X is covered with an LG logo and huge "Nexus" branding, which some might love - fans of stock cars for example- but which others will not. The LG made Nexus 5X sports a larger screen than the iPhone 6. |
