Context: This is from a VTM RP Server I was on, Noa was in play, but her story was much different! Here she was a ghoul at first in Chicago under the Hecata Seneschal (IDK I didn't make the hierarchy) and then turned during game. She is from the near extinct Hidalgo branch of the Giovanni that had been killed during a Sabbat raid while she was in a foreign exchange program for school. I revealed slowly throughout the game that Joaquin her elder brother was actually revealed to have "survived" and the Family suspected he was the cause of the slaughter. Which he was. Noa was tasked with killing him, which she did, but because she believed it was the kindest option for him. The Family would've torn his soul apart. If she killed him, she could then bind his spirit to her, and then eventually give him a body when she became a powerful enough necromancer. Fast forward back to Chicago, Julian is Noa's "ghoul" that she has enthralled through the Sanctifying Kiss (essentially you can smooch and blood bond without full ghouling) that is used as Joaquin's puppet conduit! It was cross-spat so I had Joaquin on Wraith Arcanoi... it was pretty unfair all things considered. Julian of course is blood-bond in love with Noa and she's just like Hmm hmm hmm~. She lives in a VERY haunted mansion with her sire and coterie, and in this little tidbit, she is wandering around after a server event Halloween party where a Tremere Cam-hater mass-dominates the room and compelled whoever they could to try and kill the Lasombra Prince. It was wacky! (Noa passed the check, but Joaquin/Julian did not)

Noa and Julian had arrived home late in the evening after the Halloween party, the hour almost three in the morning. She had excused herself to change out of her costume in her room and to bathe alone, but now she simply felt restless after being clean and changed. Of course Kindred didn’t get tired or wired in quite the normal way kine do, but the feeling of “I should be doing something else” is very strong within her now. This man antagonizing the Prince into making a major Masquerade breach, these wraiths terrorizing random citizens with apparent no regard for the hierarchy… these are strange nights indeed. So, to pass the time until torpor takes her, she wanders the mansion like the ghosts she shares it with, listening quietly to their whispers and catching their small, intentional brushes against skinland objects. Curtains billowing with no wind, books turning with no reader. Reminding her they were here, though making no full effort to speak to her. Eventually half an hour passes and she hears the hard footsteps of another in a hallway closeby. The sound of a large door creaking… who else is here and awake at this hour? Ken perhaps? She would love to speak with him actually regarding what the hell even happened back there. She follows the sound and sees the door that had been opened leading down to the cellar, the frame clearly labeled with some historical plaque discussing the various wines held below. It also led to the bowels of this home if you knew where to look. Surely Ken… she follows after fast, closing the door behind her.

As she reaches the bottom of the stairwell, she sees the wine room for the first time since her arrival here. The ceiling is made of rock and the place is filled with rows upon rows of gorgeous glass bottles with varying shades of burgundy and red. She hears someone shifting further down, and she follows, her bare feet making soft noises against the stone. As she looks, she finally comes across her fellow night owl, but is slightly disappointed at who she sees. Julian. She observes him for a moment. He had been so exhausted nearly all of the way home, napping in the car despite the evening’s strange events. Now he is here, eyeing old wine from a date she can’t read from where she stands. “Julian, what are you doing up?” He nearly drops the bottle he’s holding on the stone tile, thankfully scrambling in time to catch it. He looks over to her like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar, and he goes to her as if to beg for forgiveness. In Spanish, he exhales a frightened breath. “My God you scared the hell out of me.” His hand touches her shoulder and he gives it a soft rub, as if to calm himself down. She watches him still, not expecting anything foul afoot but still curious. “I couldn’t get back to sleep. I feel like…” His voice trails off a moment as he rubs his tired eyes. “There is so much to think about. You said you were dead, I have met with more dead… and then I go to a party where there are even more but I don’t know who is who. And my mind…” He looks at the bottle and frowns as he considers it, then back to Noa. “I-Is Joaquin here?” She shakes her head, now suddenly very aware of how alone they were. Huh. “No, he is feeding below. Spending time in your body took quite the toll on his spirit.” Joaquin honestly has not done much work with his craft beyond a good hour or two of puppeteering, so an entire evening of inhabiting a body and controlling it required a lot of energy for him to use. Thankfully they live here where he can feast in abundance, but them being separate for another hour or so is a very new experience for the both of them. “Oh!” Julian smiles in relief, but quickly hides it. “I see. That’s good. That he’s able to… eat. What do ghosts eat exactly?” “Intense emotions. After all, that’s what wraiths are made up of for the most part. Come Julian, do you want to drink that?” She gestures to the bottle as she walks to the bar setup nearby. It has a sink, glasses… very interesting and fancy. “I do, but I feel like it’s more pathetic to drink my problems away alone. Could you… also join me? Or can you not?” She takes the bottle from him with a smile and takes down a glass to pour for him. He looks almost awed by such a mundane gesture. “Sorry, I can’t drink wine. I would just have to throw it up later. I can really only have blood.” She listens to the wine pour, smells the pungent odor, and hands it to him when it is filled halfway. “I could perhaps drink the blood of someone who just recently drank alcohol to get a buzz… but I don’t think I could do that to you.” “W-why not?” He asks quickly, taking the glass from her but not yet drinking. “I don’t mind if you drink from me, I’m already giving my body - you may as well have it all.” After a beat of silence, he asks, “Er, well, would it hurt?” She smirks slightly, wishing terribly to be able to bite from him. “From me? Yes, the bite would be excruciating. Like being bitten by a venomous snake. I could kill you if I drink directly from you.”

“Oh.” He grimaces.

“Yes, oh. Remember when we talked about clans a little bit? Well, just my clan suffers this curse. You could be bitten by another Kindred and experience utter ecstasy from their bite… better than any orgasm you could ever have... but not from me. It would just torture and pain, and while I have my dark interests, rubbing salt in the wound isn’t one of them.” She looks to his glass. They broke open a Lafite Rothschild 1929, he should probably drink that.

“H-ha. Well, I am already provided with plenty of ecstasy without the bite.” He half jokes, then quickly he starts to down the wine to perhaps hide his shame. There is hardly time for him to savor it before he immediately swallows it down. “I’m sorry I can’t provide more then.”

She snorts, “Listen. You do serve your intended purpose well. I suppose I would be the one apologizing to you. I simply cannot give your mortal body the bite.

Quietly he swishes his drink, lost in thought as he looks at its color.

“What’s on your mind?”

“Just a headache, I feel like I’ve been living in a cloud all evening. I’m not sure drinking is a good idea.” He looks up to her, “Can you be controlled like that? By something like Joaquin, by the person who made me want to kill at the party?”

“Well, I could, but it would take something far more powerful. Quino hasn’t been trained properly in the overtaking of the supernatural, but it’s possible. Just difficult. And I have at least a fighting chance when someone like that shouts a command in such a way at me. I am able to avoid both.”

“So, this is something I just have to deal with as a mortal.” He says bitterly, going to drink again.

“Yes, I’m afraid so.”

He ponders more as he swallows. “Will you be… turning me into a Kindred one day?”

Noa blinks at the question, mind going blank. She hadn’t even thought of turning Julian before. “Turn you?”

“Yes, will you turn me into something like you one day?” His voice is quiet, but his dark eyes are watching her so intensely. She hadn’t really had the time recently to consider such a thing - a Childer far, far from her mind… but. It is certainly a thought. If she turned Julian, she doesn’t think it would be until she and Joaquin were ready.

“I might.” She says honestly after some thinking. Imagining Joaquin residing permanently in Julian’s body, getting to experience the world finally as she does. The intimate connection of biting, being bonded to each other rather than everything being one sided, equality in power, not needing sex to reassure themselves that they love each other. Just existing as otherworldly beings, secure in their positions, being powerful commanders of the dead… the thought is enough to nearly make her swoon. “Yes, I could consider that.”

His eyes go wide and he looks unsure if he likes that answer or no.

“But that isn’t for a while, none of us are ready I think. But yes, I could turn you into a Kindred, and if your will is strong enough, you can fight back over these forces that want to dominate you. You would not experience mortal pains. It would free you.” Not entirely true, but something nice for him to think of in this dark mansion.

He looks to the floor, and silently drinks again. She can guess what he’s imagining, but doesn’t ask as she takes his hand.

“Come love, it’s very late, and the sun will be rising soon.”

He nods, quickly downing the last of the wine before leaving it on the counter. Clearly used to someone cleaning up after him now. “Yes. Shall I sleep with you during the day?”

Noa leads him back to the stairwell, “No, darling, I’ve told you. Never during the day.”

“Of course, my mistress, I apologize.” He takes her hands in his own and kisses them as they make their way to his room so he may finally get some real sleep.

Cybercriminal Gets 10-Year Sentence for $4.5 Million Money Laundering Scheme

A 31-year-old man from Sandy Springs, Georgia has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for laundering over $4.5 million through business email compromise (BEC) scams and romance fraud schemes targeting the elderly. Malachi Mullings pleaded guilty to the money laundering offenses in January 2023. Shell Company Used as Conduit for Illicit Funds According to court documents, Mullings opened 20 bank accounts under a sham company, The Mullings Group LLC, to serve as a conduit for laundering the fraudulent proceeds from at least 2019 to July 2021. The scheme netted millions of dollars through: - BEC attacks targeting a healthcare benefit program, private companies, and other entities - Romance fraud schemes defrauding elderly individuals Tactics of BEC Scams and Romance Fraud A BEC scam is a form of targeted cybercrime where bad actors trick executives and employees into sending money or sensitive data to accounts under their control through social engineering tactics. These attacks often involve compromised accounts used to send phishing emails urging vendors to make wire transfers or change banking details. On the other hand, romance scams typically involve deceiving elderly individuals into sending money under the pretense of a romantic relationship. Lavish Spending and Ongoing Cybercrime The Department of Justice (DoJ) stated that "together with his co-conspirators, Mullings engaged in financial transactions designed to conceal the fraud proceeds and used some of the proceeds to purchase luxury items, such as expensive cars and jewelry." This included a Ferrari purchased with $260,000 from a romance scam. In a related development, a Russian national named Evgeniy Doroshenko has been indicted for his role as an access broker, breaking into corporate networks and selling that initial access to other actors on cybercrime forums between February 2019 and May 2024. The DoJ emphasized that "cybercrime forums, like the one used by Doroshenko to sell access to victim computer networks, are online forums where cybercriminals promote and facilitate a wide variety of criminal activities including, among other activities, computer hacking and trafficking in stolen data."

3)Les différents types de séries expliqués

Lorsqu'il s'agit de séries télévisées, il en existe toutes sortes de types différents. Dans cet article de blog, nous allons jeter un coup d'œil aux différents types de séries, et expliquer ce qui les rend différentes. L'un des types de séries les plus courants est le procedural. Les séries procédurales sont généralement des séries policières ou médicales et se concentrent sur les affaires sur lesquelles les personnages travaillent. Chaque épisode est autonome et il n'est pas nécessaire de regarder les épisodes précédents pour comprendre ce qui se passe. Un autre type de série courant est le feuilleton. Ces séries ont tendance à être plus complexes, et elles racontent souvent une histoire continue au cours de la saison (ou même de la série entière). Pour cette raison, il est important de regarder les séries dramatiques depuis le début, afin de ne manquer aucun point important de l'intrigue. Les comédies sont un autre type populaire de séries télévisées. Ces émissions sont généralement légères et se concentrent sur les moments amusants de la vie. Les sitcoms (abréviation de "situation comedies") sont un sous-genre de comédie qui tend à être plus formel et qui se déroule souvent dans un seul endroit (comme une maison ou un bureau). L'animation est un autre genre de séries télévisées, et ces émissions peuvent être des comédies ou des drames (ou même les deux). Les séries animées s'adressent généralement aux enfants, mais il existe également de nombreuses séries animées destinées aux adultes. Enfin, il y a les séries de télé-réalité, qui se concentrent sur des personnes réelles et leur vie quotidienne. Ces émissions peuvent être soit non scénarisées (ce qui signifie que les événements ne sont pas planifiés ou scénarisés à l'avance), soit scénarisées (ce qui signifie que les événements sont planifiés, mais que les dialogues ne le sont pas).

4)Comment choisir la série expliquée qui vous convient

Lorsqu'il s'agit de choisir la Série Expliquée qui vous convient, il est important de considérer ce que vous cherchez à en retirer. Espérez-vous améliorer vos connaissances de la culture et de la langue françaises, ou cherchez-vous simplement un moyen amusant et divertissant de rafraîchir vos connaissances linguistiques ? Il existe une grande variété d'options de Série Expliquée, il est donc important de choisir celle qui correspond le mieux à vos besoins. Voici quelques éléments à garder à l'esprit lorsque vous choisissez une série expliquée : 1. Tenez compte de votre niveau de français. Si vous êtes débutant, il est important de choisir une série expliquée adaptée à votre niveau. Il ne sert à rien de choisir une série expliquée trop avancée pour vous, car vous risquez d'être frustré et d'abandonner. D'un autre côté, si vous maîtrisez déjà le français, vous pouvez choisir une série expliquée plus difficile afin d'entretenir vos connaissances. 2. Tenez compte de vos intérêts. Les séries expliquées ne sont pas toutes égales. Certaines portent sur l'histoire de France, d'autres sur la culture contemporaine. Certaines sont légères et comiques, tandis que d'autres sont plus sérieuses. Réfléchissez à ce qui vous intéresse et choisissez une série expliquée qui vous plaise. 3. Tenez compte de la longueur. La durée des séries expliquées peut varier considérablement, de quelques minutes à une heure ou plus. Réfléchissez au temps que vous êtes prêt à consacrer au visionnage d'une série expliquée et choisissez celle qui convient à votre emploi du temps. 4. Pensez au coût. Les séries expliquées peuvent être gratuites ou payantes. Si vous avez un budget limité, il existe de nombreuses options gratuites. Cependant, si vous êtes prêt à payer pour une série expliquée, vous aurez peut-être accès à un plus grand choix de titres. 5. Tenez compte des critiques. Lorsqu'il s'agit de choisir une série expliquée, il est toujours bon de lire d'abord les critiques. Cela vous donnera une meilleure idée de ce que les autres ont pensé de la série expliquée et vous permettra de savoir si vous l'apprécierez ou non. Gardez ces choses à l'esprit et vous serez sûr de trouver la Série Expliquée parfaite pour vous.

5)Les avantages de la Série Explained

4 Determinations to Make Before Ordering a Drive-thru Menu Board

Restaurant owners seem to have an increased interest in adding drive-thru menu boards to their locations. This should come as no surprise considering that those with drive-thrus see 60-70% of their total revenue pass through the lane. Because of this fact, people become easily enamored with the idea of what a drive-thru could do for their business. It isn’t until they pause to gather some information that most begin to realize that there is a lot more to consider than the sign itself.  In the past we have highlighted what a fully-functional drive-thru looks like which provided folks with a checklist of what is involved but does little to help them determine if A- it would be a good investment and B- what the entire scope of the project would look like as it pertains to their restaurant.  We’ll take a stab at that here.

#1 – Location, Location, Location   

Whether you are looking to add to an existing spot or are dabbling with opening a new restaurant, location plays a vital role in determining whether it makes sense.  First and foremost the location itself would have to have the ability to accommodate a drive-thru. On-premises factors include space and traffic flow while off premise factors would include accessibility and visibility. Ideally, you’d the restaurant would be located on a high traffic road where there is an increased likelihood of cars pulling into your restaurant for convenience.  You simply wouldn’t get the volume of impulse pull-ins on a more desolate street.

#2 – What work would need to be done?

Cutting the ribbon on your drive-thru takes more than erecting a sign and slapping some headsets on.  The amount of work that is required depends on the location.  It seems as though there is a healthy balance of those doing new-builds vs. those who are taking over existing locations.  Regarding the latter, the determining factor is whether or not a drive-thru resided there in the past.  In any event, to get up and running you’ll need two conduits run out to the drive-thru (one for the drive-thru power and another for the speaker/microphone and magnetic loop wire), potentially a saw cut and patch after placing the magnetic loop in the ground (this is what signifies that a car is at your drive-thru in your headset) and the concrete work where the sign and speaker post will be placed.  Again, the amount of what has to be done depends on the situation you find yourself in. If you are a new location or are looking to add a drive-thru to a location that has never had one, you’ll likely have to seek a permit to do so.

Not only that but there's other effects are going on the clothes are embattled globally because of their ships and people are figuring out the max have humongous ships too not necessarily as many and they have a couple and the clothes have four with a smaller one which is still negative class and the good at it and they're going at it and now people are going after Max. And they're on the most wanted list that's what they all say. So the mats are going after the clothes pretty hard to get more ships cuz they need them and it is going to be a mess but that's what's happening

That's a few more things going on because of the network of buildings of Paris and audit Dave and it's going to continue is what he said and one reason why they're evacuating people are going into their buildings and deactivating them and fighting off the clones and it's a war zone and they grab as much stuff as they can and believe and they are ripping the walls apart and floor and ground and people tracing the wire in order to take it in the conduit he found out the conduit down there is worth the most and they're going to have it but a lot of people can't get to it so they're at the buildings like cars Garth and they want the white gold Stan is taking a lot of it you got an area and he's pulling it all out and a lot of people are doing that but they wanted to go after his and Sherry gets grabbed as Michelle Pfeiffer that's one of her characters. And Kathy was playing that too no. What's going on right now and it's pretty huge it is some big fights hold on after the precious metals a huge fight they're everywhere fighting over the stuff they found entire lengths of the conduit underground that are made from a thin layer of white gold is a huge huge deal it's gigantic the amount of goals coming from where those lines is huge it stretches all the way up to Oregon a conduit and it's worth about $450 a foot. Half a pound of foot and it's probably three inches of diameter so people are doing that now and we're going to post

This is huge folks that's a lot of pipe that's a lot of gold and people want the white gold and they're going for it now. Also Freddy Krueger and the nightmare on elm Street has begun and it's about a few things but mostly mostly used these buildings to kidnap people. And her son was hearing it at work sometimes and about being kidnapped and he was angry about it and they were saying it in the elevator quite a bit and he figured out that he should probably leave there and we didn't mind it much it's one of those buildings it was wired by his brother and we weren't worried and knew how it was is that location but others are wanting to figure it out there's a couple other buildings he was at that were wired up by them storm Western development was wired up by Paris and they moved them out and her computer got pissed at them and it's him a little and start to swear by all that's holy yeah was dumping on him and I saw that Trump is looking and detected our son was involved and start to bother him and Trump said look it's just not right what you're doing and the computer said why he said you're attaching you're attracted to their attention and it's not necessarily the best thing to do and said we want to attractor and text you and he says well I guess you don't know why we could have figured it out we're getting nailed. The computer went into a frenzy started to try and figure out what to do and he said just shut up and it would not so trying to figure out where it is and they found a few signals and they're tracing them because the damn thing just keeps going it's actually a benefit if it shuts off for a minute it's on the next minute and you don't have to wait.

Right-to-charge laws bring the promise of EVs to apartments, condos and rentals

- By Eleftheria Kontou , University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign , The Conversation -

More than 3.6 million electric cars are driving around the U.S., but if you live in an apartment, finding an available charger isn’t always easy. Grocery stores and shopping centers might have a few, but charging takes time and the spaces may be taken or inconvenient.

Several states and cities, aiming to expand EV use, are now trying to lift that barrier to ownership with “right to charge” laws.

Illinois’ governor signed the latest right-to-charge law in June 2023, requiring that all parking spots at new homes and multiunit dwellings be wired so they’re ready for EV chargers to be installed. Colorado, Florida, New York and other states have passed similar laws in recent years.

But having wiring in place for charging is only the first step to expanding EV use. Apartment building managers, condo associations and residents are now trying to figure out how to make charging efficient, affordable and available to everyone who needs it when they need it.

Electric cars can benefit urban dwellers

As a civil engineer who focuses on transportation, I study ways to make the shift to electric vehicles equitable, and I believe that planning for multiunit dwelling charging and accessibility is smart policy for cities.

Transitioning away from fossil-fueled vehicles to electric vehicles has benefits for the environment and the health of urban residents. It reduces tailpipe emissions, which can cause respiratory problems and warm the climate; it mitigates noise; and it improves urban air quality and quality of life.

Surveys show most EV drivers charge at home, where electricity rates are lower than at public chargers and there is less competition for charging spots. In California, the leading state for EVs, 88% of early adopters of battery electric cars said they were able to charge at home, and workplace and public charging represented just 24% and 17% of their charging sessions, respectively. Nationwide, about 50% to 80% of all battery electric car charging sessions take place at home.

Yet almost a quarter of all U.S. housing structures have more than one dwelling unit, according to the 2019 American Housing Survey. In California, 32.5% of urban dwellings have multiple units, and only a third of those units include access to a personal garage where a charger could be installed.

Even if installing a personal charger is an option, it can be expensive in a multiunit dwelling if wiring isn’t already in place. And it often comes with other obstacles, including the potential need for electrical upgrades or challenges from homeowner association rules and restrictions. Installing chargers can involve numerous stakeholders who can impede the process – lot owners, tenants, homeowners associations, property managers, electric utilities and local governments.

However, if a 240-volt outlet is already available, basic charger installation drops to a few hundred dollars.

Right-to-charge laws aims for ubiquitous home charging

Right-to-charge laws aim to streamline home charging access as new buildings go up.

Illinois’ new Electric Vehicle Charging Act requires that 100% of parking spaces at new homes and multiunit dwellings be ready for electric car charging, with a conduit and reserved capacity to easily install charging infrastructure. The new law also gives renters and condominium owners in new buildings a right to install chargers without unreasonable restriction from landlords and homeowner associations.

California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Virginia also have right-to-charge laws designed to make residential community charging deployment easier, as do several U.S. cities including Seattle and Washington, D.C. Most apply only to owner-occupied buildings, but a few, including California’s and Colorado’s, also apply to rental buildings.

Chicago officials have considered an ordinance that would include existing buildings, too.

Sharing chargers can reduce the cost

There are several steps communities can take to increase access to chargers and reduce the cost to residents.

In a new study, colleagues and I looked at how to design shared charging for an apartment building with scheduling that works for everyone. By sharing chargers, residential communities can reduce the costs associated with charger installation and use.

The biggest challenge to shared charging is often scheduling. We found that a centralized charging management system that suggests charging times for each electric car owner that aligns with the owner’s travel schedule and the amount of charge needed can work – with enough chargers.

In a typical multiunit dwelling in Chicago – with an average of 14 cars in the parking lot – a small community charging hub with two level 2 chargers, the type common in homes and office buildings, can cover daily residential recharging demand at a cost of about 15 cents per kilowatt-hour. But having only two chargers means residents are waiting on average 2.2 hours to charge.

A larger charging hub with eight level 2 chargers in the same city avoids the delay but increases the cost of charging to 21 cents per kWh because of upfront cost of purchasing and installing the chargers. To put that into context, the average electricity cost for Chicago residents is 16 cents per kWh.

The future of charging management at multiunit dwellings will be automated for efficiency, with a computer or artificial intelligence determining the most efficient schedule for charging. Optimized scheduling can be responsive to the times renewable electricity generation sources are producing the most power – midday for solar energy, for example – and to dynamic electricity pricing. Automation can also eliminate delays for drivers while saving money and reducing the burden on the electric grid.

The current limited access to home charging in many cities constrains electric vehicle adoption, slows down the decarbonization of U.S. transportation and exacerbates inequities in electric vehicle ownership. I believe efforts to expand charging in multidwelling buildings can help lift some of the biggest barriers and help reduce noise and pollution in urban cores at the same time.

Difference Between Industrial Electrician and Commercial Electrician

The titles commercial electrician and industrial electrician may sound similar, but they are actually widely different from each other. An electrician is not an all-purpose profession. It differs based on the area of expertise, skill, and job focus. There are various kinds of electricians trained to handle different nature of works. So, before you head to hire an electrician for your electrical needs, learn about the difference between an industrial electrician and a commercial electrician.

What Is An Industrial Electrician?

Manufacturing plants and production facilities have electric needs that are far different from the needs witnessed in other areas of the electrical profession. That is where industrial electricians prove to be of immense help.

Generally, they are involved in fault diagnosis, repairs, tests, and maintenance of electrical equipment and machinery in large plants, factories, and mines. These are the individuals having advanced knowledge and proficiency in handling a variety of complex issues encountered in equipment and machinery used in industries. In Australia, industrial electrician services are basically rendered to mining companies, car manufacturers, electrical companies, and steel producers.

Furthermore, industrial electricians are skilled in handling all types of jobs in the industrial environment. However, their primary focus is on pneumatic, hydraulic, and other types of machinery involved in different operations. Apart from catering to basic electric issues, industrial electricians are also adept in robotics, controls, instrumentation, and other specialized facility equipment employed in industries.

Role of an Industrial Electrician

An industrial electrician is tasked with ensuring the smooth functioning of large factories by keeping the safety and efficiency of important machinery. Here are the tasks and duties an industrial electrician is entitled to perform:

Installation of new electrical systems in an industrial setting.

Repair and maintenance of electrical equipment.

Adherence to safety protocols as per operating production facility.

Troubleshooting electrical equipment.

Industrial electricians are required to possess the requisite experience and apprenticeship training with relevant certifications and qualifications. Since they need to work in production facilities, they also need to gain safety training. Overall, the power and electricity needs of industries are way different than other areas, therefore industrial electricians are expected to be highly skilled and flexible to cater to the high voltage applications and other electrical machinery in industrial setups.

What Is A Commercial Electrician?

Commercial electricians are specialized in offering electrical repair, maintenance, installation, and safety audit services within the commercial setups. Their work environment is restricted to offices, retail stores, shopping malls, restaurants, government buildings, and other related establishments.

A commercial electrician can also design a blueprint of an electrical system specific to a particular workplace’s needs. They can install conduit of pipes and lay electrical wiring as per the local electrical codes. Thus, commercial electric services ensure the harmonious working of power, heating, and lighting within premises.

These individuals primarily work with hand tools such as pliers, drills, knives, screwdrivers, power tools, and monitoring equipment. They also carry out the repair and maintenance of residential buildings.

Role of a Commercial Electrician

A commercial electrician is responsible for ensuring the smooth functioning of electrical systems at places frequently visited by customers. They tend to meet your power and electricity needs by making sure that everything is in place and is compliant with electrical code so that employees and customers are both protected against unexpected instances. Further, given below are the duties of a commercial electrician:

Installation of new equipment.

Rewiring of the existing system.

Installation of security alarm, smoke alarm, and other electrical components.

Installation of switches, switchboards, and lights.

Installation, repair, and maintenance of heating and cooling systems.

Designing electrical systems or functioning according to existing blueprints.

Adhering to local, state, and national protocols for wiring and electrical systems.

Thus, commercial electricians conduct electrical maintenance services for small to medium businesses. Nevertheless, just like industrial electricians, commercial electricians are also required to possess relevant apprentice training. These professionals gain specialisation in power distribution, service entrance, facility power, and facility lighting.

Conclusion: Industrial Electricians Vs. Commercial Electricians

Industrial and commercial electricians both belong to the same background of electrical systems but their nature of work differs immensely. Their specialty extends to two different areas. Industrial electricians are experts in troubleshooting electrical problems in manufacturing industries while commercial electricians are experts in conducting repairs and maintenance within standard workplaces.

Now that you know the difference between the two, you can easily pick the right electrician for your needs.

We wanted to share Richard Brown’s story with the 1958 Thor, reposted below along with his photos. Showing a car at The Amelia Concours D’Elegance was amazing. Translated to “competition of elegance”. It’s considered the Pebble Beach show off the east coast. I’ve been going to the Amelia show for 23 years, but this is the first time I had a car invited to attend. This isn’t a typical car show where you bring a car if you want to. It’s quite different. If your vehicle qualifies and meets the standards and criteria they are looking for… the board of directors will choose your car, and officially invite your car to attend the event. In the automotive collector world it’s an incredible honor. This event is more of an art exhibit than any thing else. It’s about sculpture, history, design, and provenance. If this sounds high brow and “Hoity toity”, well that’s because it is. And on a rare occasion, riff raff like myself slips through the cracks and gets in anyways!! I started the project in July and stayed on it till the day before the show. Everything came apart to get restored. The only thing not touched was the shift knob. I wanted to leave it with all the fingerprints from the past owners, all the way to its original creator Nik Gudmunds. Thanks goes Matthew Burke and Karl Gudmunds for historical reference, to Augie Maurer for chassis fabrication and exhaust recreation, Nathan Lizana for the period correct 36hp motor, Ronnie Schmitt for seats and headliner upholstery, Patrick Frye for wiring harness and engine tuning, Marvin Rabalais for initial body stripping and prep, and especially Scott Taylor for the final bodywork and paint, and sticking with me…staying up till midnight helping me put it all back together. A special thanks goes to my friend Geoffrey Hacker of Undiscovered Classics for pushing me to restore the Thor, and being the conduit to connect me to the Amelia Concours show. Couldn’t have got there without him. (at The Amelia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvEtvas7ny/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
