Computers & IT

Looking for help or repairs with your tech? Check out the company’s listed here to see if they can help:

When your computer stops working, you want the quickest possible way to fix it. Often, your own skills are not enough to solve the problems your computer is experiencing and you need to contact a computer repair technician to assist with your problem.

Not all computer support businesses are created equal.  Some may require that you bring your computer to them, whilst some offer to come to your home or business.  When looking for support for your computer, make sure you get the right service for you.

Bringing Your Computer to Them

There are two advantages to bringing your computer in for repair: You usually get a discount on the price and it allows the technician to have more time to concentrate on your particular problem.  The cons, however, are many: You need to have the requisite skill to reassemble your computer once you get it back (may not be a problem for some), if your problem was caused by something that you unplugged such as your monitor or printer the technician will see nothing wrong because it’s not attached when they look at it, and you very well may not have a computer for days which may be needed if you use your computer for business or online classes.

Also, if your computer is away the technician cannot ask you questions or learn of other (possibly related problems) that could help them diagnose or fix other problems you never knew were fixable.  You also cannot ask questions or learn what the problem was or how to prevent it in the future.  This type of support — done incorrectly — usually involves you dropping your computer off and picking it up when it’s done with little to no explanation or after support care.

Bringing the Support to You

Technicians coming to your home or business is usually the best course.  Pros: You get a technician in-person that can talk to you about all your problems, you can usually show them what the problem is right there (or they can see it on your screen if you leave it there) and they can walk you through the solution.

Usually the technician can diagnose and solve your problem right there in your home or office.  For those that are not-so-tech-savvy, this is usually the best course of action.  It’s the equivalent of having an appliance repair technician, plumber or the cable guy/gal in your home.  You have a problem, they come and fix it, they leave.

So, you do have two options. On this page and throughout the issue you will find a number of Computer Repair Services that will be able to help you get through your computer related issues.

Fostering & Adoption

Our future lies in the hands of today’s children – giving each of us the responsibility to help them reach their full potential…especially those who require a little extra nurturing.

Fostering is a way of providing family life for someone else’s child in your own home when they are unable to live with their birth family. This can be due to many reasons; illness, relationship problems, family breakdown, or perhaps a situation where the child’s welfare is threatened. Fostering differs from adoption, in that an adoption order ends a child’s legal relationship with their natural family, whereas looked after children remain the legal responsibility of the local authority and/or their birth parents. For a whole variety of reasons there are around 45,000 children in the system.

There is a common misconception that children placed in foster care have been so because of delinquency, anti-social behaviour or other behaviour not becoming of their home environment. This is simply not the case. Many children are the unfortunate casualties of parental break-ups, a single parent suffering from illness be it emotional or physical, or simply a child who is not wanted by their biological parent/parents. Foster carers provide a safe, secure and stable environment for these children and young people and the foster care placement can last for days, months or even years. Many children return home to their families but others may receive long-term support; either through continued fostering, adoption, residential care or by being helped to live independently.

First and foremost a family looking to adopt or become a foster carer needs to be able to provide any child under their care a stable and loving environment where they can feel safe and wanted. If you believe this is you, you will find on this website a number of agencies and local departments that can give you more information on the process and discuss with you any questions you may have.

Children in Yorkshire and the Humber are waiting for loving, permanent homes

The adoption agencies which provide adoption services for the local councils in the Yorkshire and Humber area are looking for families with room in their heart and in their home for children who are waiting.

Across the region there are around 200 children waiting for a permanent loving home.

Lots of people want to adopt, but unfortunately children in sibling groups, those who are older, have health needs or who have a minority ethnic heritage, often wait much longer to find a loving family. This is why the regional adoption agencies for the area; One Adoption North and Humber, One Adoption South Yorkshire and One Adoption West Yorkshire, are hoping to find people who might be able to meet the needs of these children.

Considering adoption is a huge decision for anyone. At times it is challenging, as parenthood is for everyone, but adoption is an incredibly rewarding and positive experience.  A lot of parents who adopted siblings say adopting children with their brothers and sisters has been the most beneficial factor in their children’s adoption journey.

There are a lot of myths surrounding who can and can’t adopt but it’s important that people don’t rule themselves out without finding out the facts.

Adopters don’t have to be married or in a relationship. Lots of single people adopt through One Adoption, and around 20% of all adopters approved by One Adoption are LGBTQ+.  People of any race or religion are welcome to apply, as are people who have a disability. The only criteria is that you must be 21 years or older, have space in your home and a willingness to provide a safe and loving home for a child. Finance is also sometimes seen as a barrier to adopting, but you don’t have to have a certain income or amount of savings to adopt, you just need to be financially secure enough to raise a child.

The first step to becoming an adopter is to attend an information event which are held regularly by the three One Adoption agencies. Most events are online and can be booked through the One Adoption website: www.oneadoption.co.uk.

Ashcourt Group’s Cost-Effective Alternative To Tarmac Surfacing

Ashcourt Group, a Yorkshire based independent building material supplier offer a great, cost-effective, alternative to tarmac surfacing. Roller Compacted Concrete or RCC for short is placed using a high compaction paver and PTR rollers directly on site. The concrete mix uses cement, water and aggregates and has no slump meaning it’s transported in tipper wagons rather than conventional concrete mixers. The mix is perfect for agricultural use, more specifically for access roads, yard resurfacing and shed bases.

One of the many benefits of RCC is that it’s quick to lay. Quick laying time means that your concreted area is back up and usable faster. With the heavy compaction of the concrete, it allows for even heavy plant and machinery to be used in just 3 days on the concreted area. The mix is laid by our professional Ashcourt team who have experience laying and treating RCC. Because the mix is so well compacted, it doesn’t require any reinforcing, dowel bars and formwork for construction, helping to reduce costs further. As well as having no slump, the mix is not consolidated with a vibratory poker. Levels are calculated using our special surveying equipment and can be graded towards any specified on-site drainage.

We use roller compaction of the laid and grooved material as the final part of the mechanical laying and compaction process. We use the roller as soon as possible to reduce moisture loss or ingress depending on weather conditions. The roller compaction is where the mix gets most of its strength for heavy plant and machinery. We also complete the application with a power-float finish which not only helps compaction, but it provides a completed look for the final product.

Ashcourt Group service the entirety of Yorkshire with their strategically located concrete plants which provides full mix control and use of the Group’s over 100-strong fleet of HGVs to service jobs. Ashcourt provide a free, no obligation quote which includes a site visit and initial consultation with our experienced RCC expert. Ashcourt Roller Compacted Concrete is a high-quality concrete product, which is designed, produced, transported, and supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001. Accredited quality scheme (QSRMC) and in accordance with the relevant parts of BS8500 Part 2 and BS EN206 Part1.

Health is the key to success!

With the smaXtec health system, make the first step towards a healthier dairy herd – most precise heat detection included!

A healthy herd is the basis for your economic success. Only fit cows have a stable and high milk yield, a significantly reduced cell count, a lower insemination index, easier calvings and require less time for individual care.

To ensure or improve animal health, you have to keep a close eye on your cows at all times. This is the only way you can intervene early in case of health problems, thus prevent serious disease progression, save on antibiotics and costs

A number of issues can be recognised and solved through good observation and care but changing farm structures and sizes do not always allow for the ideal level of individual care. This is where the proven smaXtec technology supports you and detects health issues earliest possible.

Success through holistic monitoring with the smaXtec health system

The deeper the insights, the earlier you notice changes in your cows’ health status. smaXtec measures the meaningful parameters inner body temperature, rumination with smaXtec TruRumi™, activity and drinking behaviour in the highest quality directly in the reticulum. The collected data is automatically transmitted to the smaXtec Cloud and processed by the smaXtec TruD™ technology, where data is combined and supplemented. This is the basis for valuable recommendations for action and particularly helpful for the early detection of diseases. The more factors and symptoms are taken into consideration, the better, earlier and more accurate the recommendations.

As soon as the immune system reacts to pathogens or stress, for example, the inner body temperature changeslong before external signs become visible! As a result, the smaXtec system detects diseases up to 4 days before clinical symptoms become visible.

Monitoring animal health by temperature measurement offers another advantage: depending on the temperature change, you know what to check the cow for. If inner body temperature rises, it is an indication of a feverish condition, infection or inflammation. A drop in temperature, on the other hand, is an indication of a metabolic disease such as milk fever or ketosis.

In addition, continuous measurement of rumination allows you to draw even more precise conclusions about the disease and its severity. To make the unrivalled parameter package complete, smaXtec also measures drinking behaviour and activity, detecting issues such as lameness in a very early stage.

Steps ahead through early detection

Early detection allows you to intervene earliest possible, reduce the risk of serious disease progression and significantly reduce the use of medication, especially antibiotics. You can thus improve animal health and welfare and further increase the success on your farm. Customers report a reduced usage of antibiotics by up to 70% since using the smaXtec system.

With smaXtec early detection you detect diseases such as mastitis up to four days before clinical symptoms become visible. This way you are able to treat the cow with lighter medication such as an anti-inflammatory, avoid legal waiting periods caused by antibiotics, reduce the vet’s bill and workload.

Health, heat AND calving detection – is it possible?

smaXtec not only detects diseases earliest possible, by monitoring your animals 24/7 the system gives you the possibility to follow the recovery process of every cow over time. Thus, you are able to see if the treatment has made an impact on the health of the cow and when she has fully recovered.

Additionally, when using the smaXtec health system on your farm you receive precise and automatic heat detection as well earliest possible calving detection.

smaXtec detects heats for you and provides you with additional information on the ideal insemination time. Your benefits are shorter calving intervals, improved pregnancy rates, reduced insemination costs, ongoing productivity and much more.

smaXtec also supports you with reliable and early calving detection. The system not only monitors your cows’ health in the critical phase around birth, but you are also informed about imminent calving. You receive a notification on average 15 hours before calving, enabling you to take measures if necessary. This guarantees a problem-free calving and a good start for cow and calf.

The smaXtec system pays for itself

Customers report that the smaXtec system pays for itself within a very short period of time! But how?

By monitoring your herd’s health with smaXtec you ensure a stable, high milk yield with no loss of production. The system helps you to cut treatment costs by up to 30% and through early detection you are able to reduce use of antibiotics by up to 70%. Your cows are healthier and severe disease progression is 90% less likely. But also, reproduction figures, such as the calving intervals improve with the help of smaXtec.

The smaXtec health system helps you to be successful, reduce costs and workload on your farm.

Ready for your success. With smaXtec to a healthier herd. Get in touch now and implement the most comprehensive system for monitoring health and reproduction in dairy cows on your farm tomorrow!
