Once you have come up with a purpose for purchasing a classic car, it is now time to decide the model and the type of car that you’d like to own.

Now that you have decided on the model the next step is to think about the problematic areas and issues faced with the model. You can start with looking for leakage issues or problems with the electrical circuits. Arrange for a thorough checkup to be done by a mechanic who works at an esteemed garage. It will also do you a lot of good by checking up the history of the car you wish to purchase. Look for information such as the original factory that it was manufactured in and the color of the car. It would also do you wonders if you learn to decode the vehicle identification number.

Choose an appraiser who is reputed- An experienced appraiser would easily be able to tell you about accidents that your car has undergone. They would also be able to identify if the parts are original or replaced. These tiny bits of information and details will help in valuing the classic car later on.

Tag along a family member or a friend when looking for a classic car. It is recommended to do this because you can get very tired when looking for a vintage vehicle. A lot of information needs to be collected and in the midst of doing so there is every possibility of losing out on very important information that you’ve collected already. A close friend can help you by remembering and keeping a tab of the information already collected.

A smartphone’s screen acts as an interface between the device and a user. It is one of the most essential and most delicate components in a Phone/ Tablet/ PC/ Laptop. We interact with our device through a screen, give commands, receive output all through a surface, in short smartphones are nothing without a screen! These smartphones feature different types of display screen each having its own set of merits and demerits. All additional features like color contrast, contrast ratio, sunlight legibility, brightness depends on the type of screen that a smartphone has. Today, smartphones are becoming all screen and iPhone X is an apt example of that! There is an increased demand for large screen phones with a size equal or above 6 inches.

Here are the most common type of screens with their pros and cons. Read till the end to know more about the type of screen that your smartphone features:

TFT is the most commonly used surface in budget phones. TFT LCD offers good quality images & higher resolution. TFT features narrow viewing angles that do not offer HD view when seen from the edges or in the sunlight. It offers the best view and HD colors when seen from the front. TFT’s are all passé now and the upcoming smartphone models do not feature it.

IPS LCD’s are considered the best among all! They consume less power as compared to the TFT ones and offer better view even if seen from the edges of the screen. IPS screen is available in hi-end smartphone models. IPS LCD screens are legible in sunlight and have wider viewing angles. The screen consumes less power and emits true to life colors. The screen is backed by a backlight which consumes less battery than the TFT surface but the battery consumption is way more if compared to the OLED screens.

A capacitive screen features a glass and a conductor. It responds to finger touch and is unresponsive if operated by a stylus or gloved hands. The screen offers a great view and colors to the user. Such screen types are not used by the manufacturers anymore.

OLED screens produce better colors, offer wider viewing angles, impressive color contrast and have faster response time if compared to an LCD. An OLED screen is slim, light in weight and does not require a backlight to illuminate the display and thus consumes less power. OLED screen is on the expensive side of the range scale.

AMOLED screens do not need a backlight as each pixel on the screen is backed by an LED. High brightness, low power consumption, slim frame, lightweight screen are some major highlights of such screens. These screens are available in hi-end smartphones as they are costlier than the LCD surface. The screen produces pleasing and true to life colors.

Super AMOLED is an improved version of the basic OLED/AMOLED screens. Samsung used the term for marketing purposes with a few improvements. It has the thinnest display screen, its light weight and produces great color contrast and lifelike colors.

Retina display is not a different technology it’s another name for IPS LCD with an LED backlight. The term was used by Apple as a promotion tool.

The smartphone market is growing every day and the current focus is not on the specifications of the phone rather has shifted to the looks and screen! The demand for big screen phones has risen in the recent past. This rise has led to the emergence of diverse mobile screens such as LCD, OLED, AMOLED, Super AMOLED and more.

There’s hardly a secret anymore that human behavior is highly influenced by colors. Scientific studies have proven that our emotions and mood are affected when surrounded by particular colors. Some cause us to be more aggressive, whereas others have a soothing effect on us. From psychologists to interior designers, everybody seems fascinated with the phenomenon.

No wonder then that when it comes to paints, specialists are extremely careful to make the right choice. As their ideas come as colors do, in a wide variety, ultimately the only thing they have to consider is the appropriateness of their vision. For instance, a hospital room wouldn’t be painted in the same shades as a private residence’s living room. The patients would it find difficult to cope with some red painted walls instead of the usual white, green or blue ones.

We all may have in contact, one way or another, with the imposing, intimidating places which are hospitals. Either as patients or visitors, we are most certainly overwhelmed by their presence. But, once inside, hospitals have this huge power of conveying a sensation of calm and peace. How do they manage to do that? It’s simple to find the answer by just taking a quick look at the walls and noticing the colors they are painted in.

Hospital walls are usually covered in colors such as white, green and blue. There is an explanation behind these choices and it has to do with the psychological effects these colors have.

White is the most common color to be seen on a hospital wall. And that is due to the peaceful and calm mood it provides. Other reason for choosing it is the fact that it denotes cleanness. It implies sterility, which has the effect of making patients feel reassured. This is also why doctors and nurses wear white uniforms.

Blue and green are considered to be the most relaxing and refreshing colors, promoting peaceful atmosphere which encourages concentration. Designers, psychologists and feng-shui experts, they all tend to consider that shades of blues and greens make us fell calmer, more balanced and less emotional. Because green has a calming effect on our nerves, hospital waiting rooms and even psychiatric wards are painted in this color. And surgeons wear green scrubs for the same reason. As for blue, it has often been noticed that children in pain are put in hospital rooms painted in light blue due to its healing effect it conveys.

When coming inside a hospital, the general atmosphere must make us feel reassured and calm. Before knowing anything about the staff’s professionalism, our worried look will check for visible signs that we will be well taken for. And the hospital’s walls, either white, green or blue, are our first impression.

The thicker your erection, the more intense her orgasms will be. Having a robust penis size is most certainly a guaranteed way to stimulate the vagina like nothing else. With that said, most men lack girth with their erections… and as a result, most women these days either fake their orgasms or simply don’t reach one!

But don’t worry… if you currently don’t lack girth with your penis erection, in today’s article I’m going to share with you 2 easy and completely natural steps you can follow to make your penis thicker.

Step 1:

The first rule of penis enlargement is blood flow. If you have proper blood circulation in your body, then not only will you help with getting a bigger penis erection, you’ll also have harder erections as well (not to mention better overall health).

Now, to improve blood circulation naturally (this means avoiding enhancement pills), I recommend you take natural supplements and eat the right foods…

The best supplements to take are Gingko Biloba, Vitamin E, and Garlic. Before you start taking these supplements, I strongly recommend you consult your physician before doing so (especially if you are currently on any blood thinner medication).

The best foods to eat are foods high in Vitamin E (such as nuts), garlic, grass fed beef, dark green veggies, and berries. Most of these foods not only help with blood circulation, they also help remove toxins from your body as well.

Step 2:

The next step I recommend you follow if you want to get a thicker penis erection (and also an overall bigger penis size) is to do milking exercises (better known as jelqing).

These types of exercises stimulate the corpora cavernosa chambers of your penis. These chambers are what makes up your erection when you get hard. If these chambers are properly and naturally expanded, then they will be able to hold more blood when you get erected. Bigger chambers + more blood = BIGGER penis size!

Here is an example and introduction milking exercise you can do:

A: You’re going to need some type of good lubrication. If you don’t have specialized lube, then for now I recommend using vaseline. It’s important to remember that you are going to have to stay lubricated during the exercise.

B: Warm your penis up by placing a warm cloth on your penis for 2 minutes.

C: Get your penis to a 50% erection. This may seem difficult at first, but you shouldn’t have a hard time after a few minutes.

D: Now place a generous amount of lubrication all over your penis.

E: For this step, you want to make an O.K. sign with your left hand by placing your forefinger on your thumb. Now turn your O.K. sign in a manner where your palm is facing outwards.

F: Place the circle of your O.K. sign at the base of your penis with a firm grip (not too hard).

G: Slide your hand up towards the head of your penis and release.

H: Repeat E through G with your right hand.

I: Do 20 repetitions (10 each hand) with a smooth and steady pace.

J: Repeat this exercise for 3-5 sets.

K: After you’ve completed the exercise, place a warm cloth back on your penis for a couple of minutes to help it relax.

*NOTE* If you find yourself getting a full erection, stop the exercise until your erection goes back down to 50%.

Those steps above are the basic milking exercise to help thicken your penile chambers. There are more advanced exercises for thickening the penis (plus adding up to 4 extra inches with length, more muscularity, a fatter penis head, and even curing premature ejaculation) that will help completely change your entire manhood.

Now, if you take anything away from this article, please let it be that if you want to make some gains on your penis, stick with anything and everything natural. Only with a natural method can you actually MAKE FAST GAINS… and at the same time not end up with side-effects, an empty wallet, and your results will last for life.

There are several ways to handle the drudgery of cleaning the Chicken coop and controlling odor. Some coops are built with a floor of chicken wire or metal screen that allows the waste to fall through and collected below. I am not an advocate of this design as it is a poor surface for the chickens to walk around on and it can make drafts within the coop difficult to control. Another option is to place straw over the floor of the coop, and simply remove and replace as necessary. This method is fine but as the straw becomes wet, it will produce odor and add humidity within the coop. Depending on the size of your flock, this could require daily replacement of the straw to maintain a clean and odor free environment.

My preferred method is sometimes called the deep litter method. With this method, the coop is filled with 4-6 inches of pine shavings. By raking the top spoiled material into the bottom of the pile and allowing fresh shavings to the top a virtual odor-free environment can be maintained. Over time the level of the mixture will compress and new shavings can be added to bring the level back up. To hasten the absorption of the wetness, some will mix in a small amount food grade DE (diatomceous earth) to the surface. Once or twice a year the mixture may be removed and added to the garden or compost pile. Aside from raking the poo into the mix every day or so, there is very little effort involved with this method. And I have found that there is virtually no odor; visitors are always amazed when I show them the coop and there is no detectable odor.

Another strategy to some implement to the make the cleaning process more efficient is to provide a removable drip pan directly below the perch within the coop. Since the chickens will prefer to spend a great deal of time on the perch when they are inside the coop, a majority of the waste can be intercepted before it falls on the floor. By making this tray easily accessible, it can be removed every day or so and the contents dumped into the compost pile. This strategy is by no means required as some just prefer to keep it simple and use only the deep litter method with great success.

Good health is the most important asset you own. Bad health becomes your largest liability if you lose your health, thus who you get advise, treatment, and direction from becomes the most important decision that you make for the balance of your life. You must research your doctors before you place your life in their hands.

Choosing a good family doctor is not easy. You need to see a doctor who can perform the right diagnosis based on the symptoms of the patient. So, we suggest that you take your time while doing research before choosing a doctor. Given below are 5 tips that may help you make the best choice.

1) Consider an In-Network Specialist

If you have a health insurance policy, you may be able to avail the service of a doctor at discounted rates. Seeing these doctors won’t cost you an arm and a leg. These are in-network professionals. This type of pro can help you avoid any additional fees or surprise co-pays.

If you don’t know any of these doctors, your insurance provider can give you a list of a few good names. Alternatively, you can check online or ask the doctor that can accept your insurance.

2) Opt for Specialized Care

While choosing a doctor, make sure you take into account the needs of your family. In other words, if a family member is in need of special care, your chosen doctor should be able to offer it.

If your doctor can’t help you with this, your best bet is to look for a specialist. Typically, family care doctors can help you get in touch with a good specialist.

3) Consider the Commute

Often, distance is one of the most overlooked factors when opting for a doctor. Although 10 miles is not a long ride, you may not be able to spare that much time if you have a busy schedule. So, it may cause you a lot of inconveniences. Therefore, we suggest that you be practical as far as the distance is concerned.

4) Schedule an Initial Visit

You need to see the doctor in person before you choose them as the doctor may not have the bedside manners you want. Typically, most professionals offer a free of charge initial consultation. This discussion can help you find out if they have a good personality.

5) Read reviews and Ask for Referrals

Nowadays, you can read reviews on almost anything under the sun if you have access to the internet. The same goes for family medicine. It is not a factor that you have to consider, but it can help you get a deeper insight into the quality of service the doctor offers.

For instance, talking to the referrals will help you find out if the staff is friendly. By reading reviews and talking to a few referrals, you can make a better decision.

The Takeaway

Looking for a good family doctor is really important. So, it’s better that you do your homework and consider all the options that your insurance provider gives you. Actually, what you need to do is look for a doctor that you can work with for a long-term. After all, your health, as well as the health of your family members, depends largely on good health care. So, make sure you consider these tips before choosing a family doctor.

Scientific management theory was proposed by Frederick Winslow Taylor in the first decade of the 20th century, is the first coherent theory of administration. According to this theory the same principles of management can be applied to all social entities. The governing policies for our homes, farms, state, business, and church, have the same underlying principles. It emphasized on improvements in the lower level of the company rather than at top management. It aimed at studying the relationship between the physical nature of work and the physiological nature of the workmen. It stressed upon specialization, predictability, technical competence and rationality for improving the organizational efficiency and economy.

PRINCIPLES

Taylor gave the following four principles which according to him can be used universally:

-Construct a science for each element of a man’s work.

-Scientifically select, train, teach and develop workmen.

-Management should fully cooperate with workers.

-The division of work and responsibility between management and the workers must be shared equally.

Scientific management, according to Taylor, involves a complete mental revolution on the part of workers towards their duties, work, fellow men and their employers; and on the part of managers, towards their employees and their problems.

TECHNIQUES

The techniques of scientific management facilitate the application of principles of scientific management mentioned below:

FUNCTIONAL FOREMANSHIP: Under this, a worker is supervised and guided by eight functional foremen. Four of these are responsible for planning viz. Order-of-work-and-route-clerk, Instruction-card clerk, Time-and-cost clerk, Shop Clerk. The other four are responsible for execution and serve on shop floor namely, Gang boss, speed boss, inspector and Repair boss.

MOTION STUDY: It involves the observation of all the motions comprised in a particular job and then determination of best set of motions.

TIME STUDY: It is used to determine the standard time for completion of work.

DIFFRENTIAL PIECE RATE PLAN: Under this plan, a worker is paid a low piece rate up to a standard, a large bonus at the standard and a higher piece rate above the standard.

EXCEPTION PRINCIPLE: It involves setting up a large daily task by the management, with reward for achieving targets and penalty for not meeting it.

CRITICISM/OPPOSITION

Scientific management came to be criticized and opposed by various sections for the following reasons:

-It was concentrated on the shop floor. It did not stress on the higher levels of management.

-It was criticized as a mechanistic theory of organization as it neglected the human side of the organization. It treated worker as a machine and sought to make it as efficient as machine itself.

-It was criticized on the ground that it underestimated and oversimplified human motivation by explaining human motivation in terms of monetary aspects only.

-It was also opposed by the managers due to two reasons. First, they would lose their judgment and discretion due to the adoption of scientific methods. Second, their work and responsibilities increases under Taylorism.
