Hello, all. It has been a rough pandemic.

As you may have figured, since I am in the performing arts, I have been completely out of work since this shitshow began. The earliest venues will open up here in MA is September, which is not helpful for me, because I need to be out of my current place by 8/31. No one will rent to me on my Patreon income, so I've been trying to figure out how to supplement that with other online work.

My first thought, frankly, was camming. I'm attractive and I know that, and I don't care about being naked in "public". I have a lot of opinions on the legitimacy and legalization of sex work, but making a statement would be a convenient bonus; I'd be in it for the tips. As the appliance menagerie on the Flintstones used to say, "Eh. It's a living."

The best camera I currently have is attached to the slightly-less ancient laptop. You know, the one with the broken hinge that won't hold the screen up on the right. Only the wifi on that computer has quit working. The onboard chip was always kind of flaky, but for some reason it has chosen now to deteriorate to the point where it no longer acknowledges a router on the other side of the goddamn wall. Shooting in the living room with an ethernet cable is not an option, because another housemate is already doing that.

I bought a dual-band USB wifi adapter with antenna. It's a Realtek chip -- not gold-plated, but also not total junk. I specifically checked to make sure it worked with Ubuntu Bionic before I ordered. I have now installed three separate sets of drivers in three completely different ways, read everything ever written about this on AskUbuntu, and still the computer refuses to acknowledge its existence. Not even if I blacklist the onboard chip to keep it from falling back into previous bad habits.

The other elderly laptop (with the working wifi) has a cam that tops out at 640 x 480, which I suppose might squeak by as a tiny facecam on Twitch, or for tutoring where no one cares about pixelization. The microphone, however, is crap. It's a tinny omni on the screen bezel that likes room noise more than my voice. I don't have an external microphone, and there's no onboard Bluetooth for my wireless headset. So I bought a USB Bluetooth adapter, which this computer is ignoring as hard as the other one is the wifi dongle. I have a wired headset with a mic, but because this computer is probably mere months too old to know what to do with an inline mic on the same jack as the output signal, it doesn't register at all.

The camera on my phone is potato quality, because that is honestly about how much the phone cost. Ditto the refurb Kindle. Neither is smart enough to keep up with streaming video, which I found out when I tried to do a video rehearsal for something months ago.

I have no place to do any kind of professional non-entertainment streaming work (e.g., tutoring) with my terrible equipment in any event. I don't own a desk. If a free desk appeared on my doorstep tomorrow, I would have nowhere to put it. My bedroom is small enough to contravene the Geneva Convention requirements for POW cells and I'm basically stuck in here, for reasons of both air conditioning and not having to interact with a house full of people who very much want me gone.

What I do have is a set of working emulators and some free video editing software, so I decided to take a stab at a subtitled Let's Play. I can certainly ramble on for 30 or so hours of Final Fantasy II. At the very least it'll give me something scheduled to do. So I pulled everything out and set it up, only to find that my controller was "pining for the fjords" -- no lights, no acknowledgement from RetroArch, no response to any button presses.

...

...okay, well, at least we're down to a level of equipment I can afford to replace. So I am waiting for the mail carrier to bring me another $10 gamepad, whilst stuck in bureaucratic hell. I'm down to emergency public assistance, which keeps asking me to send them random documents, inconveniently one at a time. Even when I can submit them online I'm required to wait a minimum of 2-3 business days before a human can look at them. I'm trying to not be mad -- they are clearly horribly overworked -- but it also leaves me with a lot of time to do nothing but busy-wait. They've finally decided I'm destitute enough for food stamps, so now I have to sit on my hands until the card arrives in the mail.

The chronic, crushing lack of resources is not helped by (or helping) the fact that I'm just not functioning very well. I was already on the edge of disintegration when the lockdown orders hit anyway; I was taking every piece of work I could find in an effort to scrape together enough for first/last/deposit on a new apartment, and honestly that's more than I can handle. I can consistently get to about 20 hours of "stuff that can't be done while in bed, wearing pajamas" per week, with occasional spikes up to about 30, before I start losing the ability to take care of myself. I skip showers, let my living space become a complete disaster area, and go to bed without dinner because the whole process of choosing something to eat, preparing it, eating it, and cleaning up after myself is so overwhelming that I just burst into tears and don't do it. I fed the rats twice a day and cleaned their cage once or twice a week, but couldn't manage to do the same for myself.

It's difficult to explain to people the state of being physically and mentally exhausted without also being sweaty and shaky from muscle fatigue. Perhaps the single most salient example I can give is lying in bed at night and realizing I kind of vaguely needed to pee. Not like urgently -- just enough that I knew if I didn't, I'd wake up the next day with an uncomfortably full bladder. Then just lying there anyway, not because I thought suffering was noble or I deserved it or anything idiotic like that, but just because taking care of it would involve standing up, walking into another room, and initiating a new task, and I did not have the capacity to do any of those things.

If you suggest I start making a to-do list, I will sit down right now and invent a brand new Blunt Object Transfer Protocol (botp://) expressly for the purpose of punching you, personally, in the face over the goddamn internet. I will even credit you in the patent application. I will not share the licensing profits, which judging from social media right now, would be approximately all of the money on the face of the Earth. I do not need "life hacks".

What I really need is a case worker, or possibly a babysitter, or just to have shown up at the ER about two months ago, because that is the only way I have ever found to get people to pay attention when I ask for help. Otherwise I get triaged out of sight and out of mind -- they ask if I'm suicidal, I tell them no, they tell me 'okay, here's a prescription for six Xanax and a packet of resources, go home and fix it yourself'. I'm just like, you sons of bitches, do you think I don't know how to Google things? If I could fix this on my own, I wouldn't be talking to you. Except I can't right now, because plague.

Everyone wants to fob me off on someone else. I was referred to an SSDI attorney by a friend, because frankly that's where I'm at right now. I wrote to them, specifically mentioning his name and the associate who helped him, and explained that I was basically a vegetable and I needed help applying for disability. I'm a college-educated suburban white girl, who grew up hearing her parents make rude jokes about welfare queens -- I have no idea how any of this works and I'm so broken I kept losing my place in a blanket whose pattern was literally "knit-purl-knit-purl to end of row; turn work over; repeat". Their response was "Sounds like you need some help applying for SSDI/SSI disability. Here's the website for the Boston Bar Association, good luck!" Crisis lines of both the psychiatric and financial varieties keep directing me to one of two national clearinghouse sites for social support services, both of which direct me to each other, because neither has any programs in my area.

I am trying really, really hard not to resent the ever-loving fuck out of anyone who has any sort of support system right now. One housemate has almost the exact same list of medical problems that I do, and is also completely out of work right now. She is married to the one who has a grown-up salaried WFH IT job, and will never have to worry about having a roof over her head or food in the cabinets. The single housemate has supportive family literally a five minute walk down the street; if she ever gets her feet kicked out from under her, she can stay with them temporarily while she scrambles back up. Another friend yote out to California right before lockdown to stay with his family. A local offered to help me with paperwork, then ghosted me intermittently before explaining that he was having a hard time himself right now and barely had the capacity for his own life. I have an elderly rat, no more savings, and no options.

I don't even know how I'm going to move the little I own. How do you even ask people to do that in the middle of a pandemic? If I don't have the money to move, I definitely don't have the money for a moving company, and I'm envisioning all of my community-minded friends pursing their lips in judgement and declining because like all the good people they are diligently social distancing.

I have also discovered, while hauling an empty suitcase out to Watertown and a full one back home again, that I do not cope well with face masks. It's fine if I'm not doing much, especially if I'm in a climate-controlled space like a store or the T, but as soon as I exert myself at all, I see spots. And no, it is not a matter of "just get used to it"; I have tested this by trying to wear a mask during my home workouts. It is just stuffy enough under there, and there is just enough reduction in air flow, that the world keeps going all film-grainy and dark on the sides, which I know from experience is the first step on a very short path to the Magical Land of Syncope. I had to stop during the outdoor trek and sit on the suitcase about twice a block through the commercial district, where it stayed on because there were people. This was when it was 72 whole degrees out (and the AC is generally on 74°F inside) which doesn't bode well for moving my heavy shit around in late August.

I'm normally good at catching things at the weird-vision stage, although enough random strangers and T employees have asked me if I'm okay that I have to assume I look as ill as I feel at that point. And I have an absolutely tragic talent for talking people out of calling emergency services when I do actually keel over, but everyone is so health-panicked that I don't think it would work right now. I know what's happened and why, but I can't exactly communicate that to bystanders when I'm unconscious. As nice as EMS is, I don't feel like waking up to a round of Twenty Questions ("How many fingers am I holding up? Who's the President? Do you have a seizure disorder?"). So I just don't go out.

Alison over at Ask A Manager got a question about this the other day that suggests this is considered legitimate can't-(always-)wear-a-mask territory, and I am able to wear a mask where required in MA, which is indoors/during interactions with other people when it's actually useful, so I don't have any qualms on the scientific or legal front. I have just never been a good judge of how much potential peril/damage it's "reasonable" to put up with, and I don't have the capacity to explain myself over and over again a million times a day.

I'm fucking tired. I'm tired of covid, I'm tired of living in a big glitzy continent-spanning banana republic, I'm tired of anxiety, I'm tired of other people carping at me to do things I can't in order to fix their anxiety for them, I'm tired of not having the space to dance, I'm tired of asking for help before things fall apart and being told 'well, come back when it is an emergency', and most of all I'm tired of this cycle where I tell myself "I'm going to stop being lazy! I'm going to put on my big-girl pants and wake up early and work 40 hours a week and support myself like an adult!" and then fail at it again because I just do not have the capacity to do that. I do not know how to make the system understand that I need some kind of support right now.

Sorry for yet another depressing update, but that's where I am right now.

How To Update RV Interior Lightning

Do you want to update the old RV interior lightning then you have landed in the right place? Changing Interior lighting the look, feel and mood, right. Then how can you change it and what are the options you have, get seated and read the article to know everything about RV Interior Lightning. Let’s illuminate! Disclaimer: I am not an electrician and whatever I have learned about electricity, light fixture, and in general, is either what I found online or through experience. So, please call an electrician if you are unsure about anything and be safe. *This post contains affiliate links to products.

Why you may want to upgrade the RV interior lights?

For me, there are two possible reasons for this. The old incandescent bulbs are boring and old fashion, they lack style. They use too much power as they are not from the new age, as LED bulbs which consume less electricity and give more light. Basically, for RVs, there are two kinds of lights available, 120 volts and 12 volts. For 120v one, you need a generator or shore power and is similar to the lights available at home. 12v can run on battery power.

Incandescent or LED lights

You should be the judge here because it's your RV, your taste and the need. I am here to give information on what option you might have, but still, both should be compared. LED wins! Do you know why? Less consumption of energy Bright non-tainted light A lot of options available You get many options with LED lights that are not available in the old bulb. Even you like the old light color that is also available with LEDs today. So, nothing should pull you towards the Incandescent bulbs, if you are really not fond of using them. Why LEDs are so efficient? LEDs are so efficient because they do not use direct heat to produce light as an incandescent bulb. The incandescent bulb gives a much wider spectrum of radiation because it heats the metal to light up. (tungsten filament is used in incandescent bulbs) With visible light incandescent bulb also gives UV light and infrared light, which causes it to consume more power than LED. LEDs only produce visible light that is a much narrow spectrum of radiation, needing less energy.

Stick & Tap Light

What is an LED light?

LED is an abbreviated name of Light Emitting Diode. They consume less electricity giving bright light. Earlier LED lights were expensive but now RVers are using it in their RV for lightning purposes.

Why Use LED lights?

RV users know how important is to save electricity for other uses. Where electricity rate varies so much across the country you want to save on it. LED lights consume less electricity and can illuminate without draining your battery too fast.

How much energy you will save?

Taking about energy saving, an incandescent bulb runs on 60 watts and for an average of 1000 hours, LED lights run on 12 watts and have a life expectancy of 25000 hours. You do the math! I personally like LEDs because they illuminate the RV better than the old one and saves a good amount of energy. Many RV also has fluorescent or halogen lights in their interior but the problem is they give tainted light. Tainted in the sense they offer near either yellow or green light. Talking about the light fixtures they often burn due to halogen and incandescent lights which becomes hot. LED is the future!

Reading Light

Decorative Interior LED RV Lights Options

There are many options to choose from according to the requirement or your taste. Just pick the right one for your RV matching the interior and color. Under Cabinet LED Lights: they come in a variety of colors and why you need to turn on the kitchen lights when you can use the under cabinet lights. Get a wireless ultra-thin LED light bar like this one. Battery Operated LED Floor Lights: you know how much calm and cooler it looks when you switch on the tabletop or floor lamps. These lamps also come in different colors and style, only thing is that you chose the right one. You also have the option of choosing the rechargeable one. Battery-Operated Stick-On Tap Light: these are simple lights that can be used anywhere you find the best place for them such as closets, cabinets. It very easy to use them as well, all you have to do is stick and tap. These are round lights which very look very decorative like this one. Solar Ice Rocks: repurpose in the thing today! Anything which can be used for multiple things is the best. You have to charge this thing and bring it back in the evening to illuminate the RV like this one here. Reading Lights: if you are fond of reading then this thing is for you. They are easy to install and gives cool light for the readers. Just switch it on when you read your favorite book like this one here.

Under Cabinet Wireless LED Light

Decorative Exterior LED RV Lights

When you park your RV it’s a home and you need exterior RV light for safety and ease. Exterior LED Lights: this comes with a motion sensor which is good when you are in an unknown place. Simple yet useful light like this one with a perfect light beam.

So, You Must Buy Or DIY

I will recommend buying a light fixture because it is not easy to craft something with that finishing unless you have good knowledge about it. You have great options available at the online store so it's not worthy of it if you have less time. But, if you like to make then do not hesitate to show your skills, perfection comes with experience that what I know. Look around yourself there are plenty of things which can be used for it things like empty jars, decorative objects, bowls, and even dishes. The decision is up to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRT3Y4Mpnj0 What To Do? RVs do not have 1 or 2 lights, there can be 10 to 15 or more light fixtures in your RV. So, I will not be practical to replace all of them especially when their price could be anything from $50 to 300 each. If you are out of budget then you could buy half and DIY half yourself. In this way, you have to spend less or you can buy a set of 5 LEDs for dome light from here.

Solar Ice Rock

What Type Of Light Fixtures Do You Have?

Before renovating you must know what type of light fixture you have in your RV. Commonly, there are three types of light fixtures. Battery operated lights that you have to operate at the fixture. Hardwired overhead light fixtures which can be switched on or off at the switch plate on the wall. Then you may have standard RV dome lights that are wired into the RV power system but have to be operated at the fixture itself. If you determined the energy source of the lighting it will become easy for you to plan according to your will. Another thing you should consider to use any light fixture that can be used at home. Yes, you do not have to buy only RV light fixtures, especially if you have a generator. There are so many options out there pendants, sconces, flush mounts and chandeliers. You can use an LED light dimmer Switch like this one, that waterproof, aluminum finish, and built-in resistant. What Challenges You Might Face? Replacing RV lighting has its challenges and knowing them before moving is better. So, here I have addressed some of them which might come in your way. The horizontal and vertical space around the light fixture may vary or limited according to the RV make. You have to make sure your lights are not on the heads or doors way. You have to measure before you consider buying anything. All the light fixtures may not be hardwired, the electrical lines must be connected to a switch or power source. It will all depend upon the make, some lights may be battery operated fixture that can be on the wall and others may be hardwired to a switch. You may not get many options when you search to buy RV Light fixtures.

Important Things You Should Know

While you may select any light fixture but you have to know something before you bring anything. Limitations like volt, watt, bulb size, quality, and color may come in your way. So, be right to choose the right one. Volts: you have to select the right volt bulb for your fixtures. The light bulb needs to be of the same power as the power source that will depend upon the RV. Most of the RVs have a 12 volt DC system. Check it in the owner’s manual. Watts: A light bulb and a fridge consumption of watts are different. Where light bulb runs on lesser watt a fridge runs on higher watts so, be careful. This is especially important if you are on generator power. Size: right size matters especially with bulb otherwise it will not fit with the fixture. Color: it depends upon the taste and interior of your RV. There are different options available depending on what you select a cool or warm color. Cool light is generally the brightest and appears to be white. The warm light generally offers a gentle blush due to the traditional interior color. Quality: quality of anything matters, generally you should avoid to bring in anything which is of bad quality. Buy once and for all! You must take care to see the review of the product and never buy it in bulk. First, ensure the thing which you are going to buy is of good quality or not.

RV Exterior Light

Hack For Updating RV Lightning

If you want a light fixture that isn’t hardwired with an electrical source then use this trick. You have to buy a battery-operated LED puck light like this one and keep it inside the fixture. You can operate it with either by remote or pushing the light. The good thing is that you can even time it. You can even pit the LED puck light inside the beam, into sconces and hang it anywhere on the wall, inside cupboards or mounted under kitchen cabinets. You can also use a bigger flush mount light fixtures for a slide-out area or for bedroom.

How Can You Move In RV With Chandeliers And Pendants?

If you move with a chandelier or pendants chances are that it will move and possibly can do some interior damage or injury to a person. So what to do? A simple solution will be to tie them before you move. This will make sure it stays in its position in the entire trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you put LED bulbs into halogen fittings? Generally, LED lights are not compatible with halogen fittings, I have pointed out some problems that can occur when LED lights are tried to install in halogen fitting. Always call an electrician for any electrical job if you are not an expert. If you can take preventive measures you will not have any problem. Transformer issues: halogen transformers provide more power than what LED downlights needs. If you replace the transformer with an LED driver it will regulate the voltage. If you will not replace the transformer then it will transfer excess power to the LED. You will need to change the transformer or not you can tell it by checking that halogen have pins or pegs to connect them to the circuit. A transformer is needed for pins, peg doesn’t need them. Lower Light Output: high voltage halogen transformer can damage the LED and can also lead to lower light output. The LED needs less power than halogen that’s why they draw minimum power from the transformer, this results in dim or no light. Dimming, Buzzing or Flickering Lights: these problems arise when LED downlights are used without LED drivers. LED needs DC power and if you use them in an AC circuit it will lead to voltage fluctuations, that result in flickering, buzzing or dimming. Short lifespan: LED needs constant DC current supply for maintaining efficiency. Fluctuations that comes from the AC outlet shorten its lifespan. Voiding Warranties: if you use LED in fitting that is incompatible then it can void warranties. How do you change a dome light? You need minimum tools to replace dome light, here goes the process: Switch off the dome light. You can check the owner’s manual for that. Then you have to remove the bulb lens cover, there are mostly two screws that hold the lens. If there are no screws then you have to pry the lens with a flat head screwdriver. Place the screwdriver opposite to the light switch and press in, the lens will pop out. Now unscrew the bulb from the dome socket, and screw a new bulb. Replace the dome cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8l91gu6ZTI How do you test a 12 volt LED? You can test a 12 volt LED in two ways. First, by a multimeter and second, by a coin cell battery. By testing it by multimeter gives you a clear reading as to how strong each LED bulb is. The brightness of the LED tells you about the quality. If you don’t have a multimeter then you can also test it with a coin cell battery. I have gone through both methods. Testing with a multimeter for this, you have to purchase a multimeter that can take diode readings. Generally, a multimeter can check volt, amps, and ohms. You need a multimeter that can test diodes also. Remember to buy a digital one as an analog model are harder to read and is less accurate. Now hook the red and black test leads into the multimeter. The red is for the positive charge and the black is for a negative charge. After that, you have to turn the dial on the front side of the multimeter clockwise away from the off position. Now connect the black lead to the cathode side of the LED and red probe to the anode side of the LED. Always connect the black probe before the red probe as doing it reverse may not show accurate reading. if the LED is not damaged then you should see the reading on the display. When you see no reading on the display then try once by starting it again. If you have performed the test right and there is no reading then the LED might be damaged. A good quality LED will give bright light and a bad one will be dim. Testing with a coin cell battery Using a coin cell battery is best as it will not pass enough current to damage it. You have to buy a coin cell battery that is made to hold the type of coin cell battery like CR2025. Now connect the black lead to the cathode and red one to the anode. If the connection is right then the LED will glow if not try again. If it does not glows then the LED might be damaged.

Flush Mount Light Can you use LED lights in any fixture? Yes, you can use LED lights in any fixture, as long as the LED bulb uses less wattage than the fixture. If the LED bulb label says "100 watts LED equivalent" that does not mean that the bulb runs on 100 watts. It means that the LED bulb produces light that is equivalent to a 100-watt incandescent bulb. If it is written on the socket not to exceed "60 watts" then it means the danger of high heat that is produced by an incandescent bulb. So, if the fixture says not to exceed 60 watts then also you can use a 100-watt equivalent LED bulb. Light is measured in a lumen, not watts, so an 800 lumen LED bulb gives the same amount of light what a 60-watt incandescent bulb produces. So, you can use 100W, 125W and 150W LED equivalent in a 60-watt fixture because all of them will consume only 60 watts. A 150W LED equivalent will produce 2600 lumen using only 30 watts. That is 2.5 times more than an incandescent bulb in the same 60-watt fixture. Which is a brighter halogen or LED? LED bulbs are much brighter than halogen or incandescent bulbs of the same watt.

Conclusion

That was all the information that I have for updating RV interior lighting. If you have not changed the old lightning and you are facing problems with energy-saving then you might consider doing the same.

NY Workers Comp Rates for Class Code 7601 Telephone, Telegraph or Fire Alarm Line Construction and Drivers

NY Workers Comp Rates for Class Code 7601 Telephone, Telegraph, Fire Alarm Construction

Description: Code 7601 covers contractors engaged in telephone, telegraph or fire alarm line construction and drivers. Type of work covered are clearing of right-of-ways; driving; erecting poles; cross-arms and insulators; stringing overhead lines or lead sheath cables used for multiple circuits; and laying underground cables. The Code applies to all work normal and incidental to the construction of such lines when undertaken by an individual employer whether performed by dedicated crew of employees or employees who interchange between operations.

Materials Used: all types of wire, brush and tree clearing equipment, and digging or trenching equipment.

Pricing: Solid companies with a good loss history can obtain better than average pricing on NY Workers Comp Rates for Class Code 7601 for telephone & fire alarm line construction

TELEPHONE COMPANIES Category: Service Businesses

SIC CODE: 4813 Telephone Communications, Except Radiotelephone 4812 Radiotelephone Communications 4822 Telegraph and Other Message Communications 4899 Communications Services, Not Elsewhere Classified

NAICS CODE: 517210 Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellites) 517410 Satellite Telecommunications 517110 Wired Telecommunications Carriers

Suggested ISO General Liability Code: 99600, 99614

Suggested Workers Compensation Code: 7600, 8901

Description of operations: Telecommunication companies provide the wiring, cabling, equipment, and ongoing maintenance for services to residences and commercial enterprises. These companies may offer automated answering systems, cable access, internet access, and local, long-distance, and international telephone service, special communications devices for customers with physical disabilities, telegraphs, and wireless communications. Service may be provided using overhead lines, underground utility cables, fiber-optic, microwave, or satellite systems.

Property exposures are high due to the high concentration of electronic equipment on premises. Ignition sources include electrical wiring, heating and air conditioning systems, and overheating of equipment. All of these require ongoing maintenance. Adequate fire detection and suppression equipment is recommended. Power surge equipment is needed to prevent lightning and other power losses. Smoke and water damage, even from a small fire, can result in a major loss without extensive contingency planning. Switching stations should be protected and security provided. If maintenance and fueling of service vehicles is done on premises, all flammables must be stored away from heated areas in a fireproof cabinet. Welding and soldering should be done in a well-ventilated area that is free of combustible materials. Communications equipment may be targets for theft. Appropriate security controls should be taken including physical barriers to prevent entrance to the premises after hours and an alarm system that reports directly to a central station or the police department. Telecommunication companies have very high exposure to business income loss as any power outage affects service to residential and business customers. Extra expenses may be high, as repairs must be made quickly to reduce downtime to dependent customers.

Equipment breakdown exposure includes breakdown losses to telecommunication devices, electrical control panels and other apparatus. All equipment must be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. Back-up generators should be available. Crime exposure is from computer fraud and employee dishonesty. The exposure increases without thorough background checks of employees. Billing, ordering, and disbursement should be under separate supervisors. Reconciliation and audits should be routine. Computer fraud potential can be high as many customers pay by Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). Adequate security is required to prevent unauthorized access to customer information.

Inland marine exposure is from accounts receivable as the company regularly bills customers for service, computers, radio and television floater (including towers), tools and equipment, and valuable papers and records for customers’ and suppliers’ information. The company is likely to have extensive communications systems, including computers, which are very expensive and must be backed up regularly. Computer systems must have adequate security features to prevent unauthorized access due to industrial espionage or by hackers. Communications towers are often in remote areas, and should be fenced to prevent access by unauthorized persons. Towers are susceptible to loss by high winds, lightning, icing, and airplanes. Protective features such as guy wires, lighting and de-icing equipment, are needed. Service technicians carry tools and equipment to customers’ premises for installation and repair. Vehicles should be kept locked at all times. Duplicates of records must be made often and stored off site. Storage on premises should consist of fireproof cabinets. There may be a contractors’ equipment exposure if the company installs its own underground cables.

Premises liability exposure at the main office location is usually light as communication with customers is done by mail or electronically. Off-site premises exposures are heavy due to the running of lines or cables, both above ground and below ground. Company vehicles may disrupt normal traffic flow, requiring adequate notice to motorists to prevent accidents. Technicians may damage customers’ premises when installing lines and cables within buildings. Excavation and maintenance of underground lines could cause damage to the property of others. Towers pose an attractive nuisance to children and teenagers and should be fenced to prevent unauthorized access. Terrorism is a potential threat to public services. There must be adequate security to deter unauthorized access to any part of the company’s premises. Despite the lack of scientific evidence, some cellular service providers have been sued on the allegation that repeated exposure to electromagnetic radiation causes injuries to people or animals. Personal injury exposures may result from failing to adequately secure customer information. Complaints by customers to the FCC regarding “slamming” or “cramming” offenses may result in high defense costs.

Completed operations exposures can be high if equipment is not properly installed. Loss of communications service could result in loss of earnings to businesses, particularly those who derive the bulk of their income from online sales. Automobile exposure may be high. If the company does its own repairs, vehicles are on the road on both routine and emergency basis. The vehicles must be out 24 hours per day, sometimes on rough terrain in inclement weather. Cable and the equipment used to install it are awkward to transport. Secure tying down is vital to prevent heavy damage to other vehicles. Vehicles may be parked along roads, disrupting regular traffic. Proper signage is required to warn drivers. All drivers must be licensed with acceptable MVRs. Regular training should be provided in driving under difficult situations. All vehicles must be well maintained with documentation kept in a central location. If vehicles are provided to employees, there should be written procedures in place regarding personal use by employees and their family members.

Workers compensation exposures are very high. Working with power lines can result in electrical shocks. There should be adequate shutoff and lockout procedures to make sure the wiring is not live.

Falls can occur from ladders, scaffolds or cherry pickers, utility poles or towers. Adequate personal protective equipment is required. Failure to adequately warn motorists of road hazards can result in a worker being hit by a motor vehicle. Laying of underground cable can result in back sprains and strains from dragging heavy cables, or exposure to collapse hazards. Prolonged exposure to electromagnetic microwave or cellular transmissions has been linked to occupational disease. Workers who visit customers’ premises may be attacked by dogs or other animals. In the office where most work is done on computers, potential injuries include eyestrain, neck strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and similar cumulative trauma injuries that can be addressed through ergonomically designed workstations.

How to Buy a Cheap Security Camera

It’s fine and good to want an affordable home security camera solution, but you don’t want to sacrifice quality for a few extra bucks in your wallet. Some of the best security cameras are still affordable. Here are our tips for buying smart on the cheap.

Know what you want from your security camera

It helps to start shopping with a goal in mind. Are you using your camera inside or outside? Do you need a camera with special talents like motion sensors or pet-friendly features? When you’re buying cheap it helps to know in advance the features that you’re looking for. That helps you weed out cameras that don’t deliver right away. Here are some questions to help you figure out what you want (and need) in a cheap security camera.

Do you want to install more than one security camera?

Do you want a camera to deter burglars?

Do you want a security camera so you can check in on people and pets when you’re not at home?

Is a mobile app important to you?

Do you want motion-activated alerts sent to your phone or email?

Do you want to be able to listen in and talk through the camera?

Are you interested in a camera that you can move around, or do you want to install it in a permanent location?

Are you more interested in wireless cameras, or are you okay with a power cord?

Is storing and saving video footage important to you? If so, do you want to use cloud storage or do you prefer an SD card?

Do you want to watch a live video feed?

Are smart home features and compatibility important to you?

Identify security camera brands that you trust

Finding high quality at low prices is a lot easier when you know which brands deliver at a lower price point. Start with brands that you may already be familiar with, or ask trusted friends and family for recommendations. Then research expert reviews and customer ratings to see what people are saying about the camera after they’ve used it for a while.

Look out for security cameras that come with hidden costs

The purchase price posted for one camera may not be the whole story. Some security cameras are part of a bigger system and require extra equipment to function. Extras can be a base station, playback DVR, or cloud storage subscription. Take time to read the fine print and root out any extra costs before deciding which cheap security camera is right for you.

Our Favorite Technologies and Designs From CES 2019

With more than 2.9 million net square feet of exhibition space, the Consumer Electronic Show can be a challenge to cover even over the span of several days. The enormity of CES isn’t just physical, but conceptual, encompassing nearly every facet of modern life – a trade show born from the nascent explosion of affordable and increasingly portable consumer electronics back in New York City in 1967, now dedicates an ocean of display space for the emerging categories of personal robotics, the ever-expanding smart home category, wearables, health monitoring, automotive, all alongside the supernova presence of 8K televisions glowing from several towering booths from the largest manufacturers. Combing through the largest exhibition halls, down into the depths of Tech West to see up and coming vendors, alongside a few private meetings, here are ten products that impressed us in design and purpose.

An exploded view of the Penguins Innovate’s White Rabbit was enough to pique our interest to stop in to inquire about the purpose of the large spherical device shown riding across across a long wall-to-wall rail. Equipped with a 2K, 360-degree panoramic camera, the White Rabbit is a smart lighting system capable of following occupants from one area to another, with the additional features of security system and a 2-speaker sound system. Gesture and voice command add to smart-tech features. Unfortunately, the hall’s cacophonous crowds prevented an on-floor demo of the light moving, but a video online shows it in action here.

LG has given their upcoming line of OLED 4K smart televisions the moniker of the Signature OLED TV R9, but everyone at CES was simply referring to it as the rollable television. And roll-up it did for the throngs of attendees impressed by technologies permitting the 3-millimeter OLED panel to appear and disappear, over and over again. The low stand houses the display when rolled away, but also doubles up as a Kevlar enclosed front-firing speaker supporting Dolby Atmos, with a handsome Kvadrat wool textile covering the front. Coming in late 2019.

The organic intricacy of the ceramic pieces on display at Kwambio’s booth looked familiar, on inspection revealing themselves to be the work of Design Milk favorite, Jessica Rosenkrantz of Nervous System. The technology to print 3D ceramics has been around for years now, but Kwambio has worked to decrease size and price for home and offices, with their Ceramo Zero Max 3D Printer reduced down to a 25-inch footprint. Definitely a more enticing output medium than the tchotchke quality of plastic additive printing (perfectly fine for prototyping, but nowhere as nice as fired ceramics).

Topping our list for most unexpected collaboration was the nearly $30,000 Boyfriend premium massage chair. Designed by the actual design team at Automobili Lamborghini, the resulting aesthetic offers a very Bumblee-Transformers design, with controls mirroring those found in the Italian super cars, but we can’t deny the fantastically-named Korean massage chair company produces exceptionally good massage chairs that proved rather capable of removing most kinks and soreness of a trade show.

Currently consumer-priced robotics doesn’t permit the daily helpful utility we’ve all dreamed of, but robots are improving, if not getting a lot cuter. The Alpha Mini by UBTECH Robotics was awarded a CES Innovation Award/Honoree, an entertaining dancing companion that debuted late last year at IFA 2018 Berlin.

This isn’t to say consumer priced robotics hasn’t proved completely hapless in the realm of handling actual helpful tasks. Another CES Innovation Award Winner, the Coral One Vacuum Robot is the world’s first 2-in-1 vacuum robot and cyclonic handheld vacuum, engineered to traverse all varieties of domestic surfaces and roadblocks, then also turn into into a handheld vacuum when cleaning duties require more targeted care. The Star Wars Stormtrooper design surely doesn’t hurt in our eyes.

The Bosch PAI (an acronym for “Projection And Interaction”) is a miniature smart projector that mounts under kitchen cabinets, converting any surface beneath into a touchscreen and gesture based display. The system operates as a recipe/cooking catalog, connecting to Bosch’s other family of connected kitchen appliances, and can identify individual ingredients to propose recipe ideas or start the oven in advance. But most impressive is its unnecessary but fun ability to divide cakes into perfect portions for slicing.

We’ll admit we didn’t get a listening session with the Qoobi ONE Wireless Tube Pre-Amp (practically a useless endeavor unless a listening demo is planned far from the crowds and din of the show), but the design of Dutch start-up’s industrial design wowed our eyes even silent. The designers explained the pre-amp’s sharpy angularity by “stereometry, ice cubes in a glass of whisky, the early works of Victor Vasarely and Hayao Miyazaki, Star Wars, and Scandinavian electronic music.

Explorative form factors seemed to be out of vogue at this year’s CES, but one company’s industrial design pulled in attendees to inquire, “what does this do?” Appearances may hint of an audio device, but instead the Compoz “customized olfactory design” is capsule-based device designed to house up to five scent capsules (think coffee capsules) to mix and create bespoke scents. Personalizing scents is big business in hospitality, and Compoz representatives said these luxury devices would be aimed for hotels and restaurants, perhaps in time designed for residential use.

As a household without a dishwasher, the Heatworks Tetra Wi-Fi Connected Countertop Dishwasher has been on our radar since its reveal at last year’s CES. The Heatworks team returning with a working prototype, demoing its efficient wash cycle, earning a CES 2019 Best Of Innovation Award Honoree in the Home Appliances product category. Apparently, Ye was drawn to the design too, with pre-orders being accepted early 2019 in the realm of $300.

There really isn’t much about Greenow and McCombie House online, so following my previous post: Finding Greenow and McCombie House, this is a general tour of a Greenow House flat. Like I stated, Greenow and McCombie House are “sister houses” and are identical in design so you can expect the same architecture and furnishing in both.

Flat Entrance At the top of the stairs, you access your flat behind these green doors using your key. Each flat has 8 rooms and you will be assigned one of them. The hallway has motion-sensitive lighting to save power and so it also gives me a sense of my neighbours moving around.

Flat Entrance

Hallway

The hallway and kitchen are cleaned every Wednesday and I think the trash is taken out every Monday. There’s also a fire alarm testing on Friday morning at 10am.

The Kitchen I was pleasantly surprised by the kitchen space, furnishing and equipment. Where to start. First, we have more than enough storage space for all 8 flat members to keep kitchenware and foodstuff. There are also 3 fridges providing ample space for food storage.

As you can see, a number of kitchen tools and equipment are provided. For cooking, there is a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, two four-burner cookers with two functional ovens and corresponding smoke extractors.

For cleaning, there’s a nice little sink, a grey plate rack, vacuum cleaner and trash and recycle bins. There’s also an ironing board (no one ever uses) in one of the wardrobes along with a dustpan and brush.

I love this dining area. It is so well-lit and doubles as our meeting, hang out or party room in the evenings. In the daytime, this is my stock photography studio because there’s so much natural light coming in from all the large windows and the pristine white walls serve as an excellent background for my images.

The Room Each room has a number and no, this isn’t mine but let’s go in any way. As you already guessed, I love the large clear window and its been great for food photography, particularly when the kitchen area is busy. The white walls are plus too.

There’s a desk lamp I have come to appreciate having spent long hours studying at this desk and six sockets around the study area. This means you never run out of access to electricity. There’s space to charge your phone, laptop, printer and hear dryer all at the same time.

There’s a yellow LAN wire over 6feet long so you can get internet connection in your bed even though there’s wireless internet access in the building.

There’s a decent amount of storage space on the shelf for books, in the wardrobe for clothes (no hangers though. You’ll have to bring yours), in the desk drawers for stationery and makeup and under the mattress for other bulky stuff. There’s more space over the entrance door, where I like to keep my shoes. It is a small room but overall, I find it fairly equipt and quite habitable.

On the downside, It is frustrating that the heat radiator isn’t closer to the active area of the room and its warmth takes ages to be felt. The wardrobe mirror faces the window so it is quite pointless because I can’t see a thing.

In addition, the lighting is poorly located and limited to the desk area. Consequently, finding clothes in the wardrobe is a challenge because the wardrobe and indeed the rest of the room is quite dark especially on cloudy days and at night.

I won’t put any time or resources into decorating this space because my tenancy is only for 40 weeks. Right now, I have about 30 weeks left to find a new place off-campus and then, depending on what my future holds, I might be stable and have reason to decorate.

The Convenience The shower, toilet and sink are in the corner section of the room by the entrance, skillfully crammed and walled in. There’s also a small cabinet where I store my toothbrush and other toiletries, there’s a small shower rack for soap or shower gel and a small dustbin under the sink.

The bathroom has got one light source above the sink that shines brightly enough. There’s a mirror above the sink that serves much better than the previous one I described.

I appreciate that extractor comes on as you switch on the light. It keeps air moving through the room and prevents lingering odours and a stale moist smell from building up.

And that’s it! I hope this is post has clarified any concerns you might have been curious about and been helpful in deciding what you might need to bring along or buy on arrival.

Create the Perfect Home Office in 8 Steps

Your home is your castle, but it can also be the central command post for your business, or a secondary workplace if you frequently bring work home. If the latter, you may not have much input regarding the appearance of your workplace office (or cubicle). However, as the king or queen of your castle, you can design and decorate your home office to your exact specifications. These are some tips to keep in mind as you create the perfect home office.

Choose carefully

When selecting the location of your home office, consider noise and traffic factors. For example, if the office is close to the street, you may hear people walking and/or driving by. Also, consider the traffic in your home. If you plan to work in your office when the rest of the family is at home, placing it close to the kitchen, bathroom or family room means you could have a lot of visitors or you might be easily distracted by nearby sounds.

On the other hand, if you have small children, it might be best to place the office where you can turn around and keep an eye on them.

Consider a minimalist approach

Justin Klosky, CEO and Co-Founder of the O.C.D. Experience (Organize & Create Discipline), says, “Trends come and go – but no matter the Pantone Color of the Year, my forever favorite trend is a minimal aesthetic. Keeping your desk space clean with little, non-distracting touches of personality here or there makes a difference in productivity and helps keep your head clear.”

In fact, Mariko Baerg, a realtor at Bridgewell Real Estate Group in Vancouver, says she’s seeing a trend in this approach. “There’s a move to a minimalistic space with little clutter and a focus only on the essentials: laptop, wireless printers/scanners, a desk and cabinets.”

Cut the cords (or at least hide them)

Wireless printers and scanners are one way to keep those ugly wires out of view and reduce the chances of tripping over them. Klosky also recommends a two-in-one laptop paired with a wireless charging mat, wireless keyboard and thunderbolt docks if you need dual displays. However, if you don’t have wireless equipment, Klosky says you can hide 99 percent of your wires from being seen. “You can do this with a crafty combo of PVC piping, velcro and zip ties to mount power sources under desks and out of sight.”

Avoid paper clutter

Do you really need to keep all of those documents? Klosky advises readers to go paperless. “Goodbye rolodex and planner – by digitizing your address book and keeping your calendar online, your network is literally at your fingertips whether on the go or while you’re working from home,” he says. “Digitizing also allows you to scan and shred documents for recycling, preventing the further use of paper, saving the planet and making any document a simple ‘CTRL + F’ away.”

Go green

This study off the kitchen acts as a control center for the family. Kids work on computers in open spaces, not in their rooms. Green linoleum covers the desk for a durable and cleanable surface. The cabinets were custom built for the space.

Working at home is better than being in a stuffy office building, but you’re still indoors. However, greenery can help you bring the outdoors inside. “A plant, for example, brings a low-key source of life and color to any room,” Klosky says.

Baerg agrees that this is a trend she’s seeing in home offices. Plants or green wall accents are becoming popular because we are usually looking at computer screens or our cell phones, and having that green aspect is easy on the eyes and helps us feel more connected to nature.”

Let the light in

Studies show that people who work in natural light are more productive, absorb more vitamin D, sleep better at night and have fewer eye problems. Light can also improve your mood. And if you need another reason to put your office in a location that allows you to take advantage of natural light, consider this: Using natural light can lower your electric bill.

Blend in

If your office is visible from other rooms in the house, consider how it will blend in with adjacent areas. The style choice and colors should be complementary, not clashing. However, if you can close the door to your office, there’s more leeway in your design and decorating choices.

Add inspiration

While Klosky recommends a minimalist approach, he says there should be a place for personal items. Sometimes, displaying your favorite items can provide inspiration and lead to your best work. For example, if you’re an artist, display some of your artwork. If you’re an accountant but you love traveling to exotic locales, keep souvenirs close by. They may inspire you to keep working hard so you can maintain your current lifestyle.
