![]() ![]() It’s still lightweight and buttery smooth too, so if you don’t feel you either need or want the additional features of the Signature model, this could be for you. To me, it has the same feel and movement of the Signature version. Again, not deal killers when it comes to why you might be interested in the pedal to begin with.Īnyway, just to sum up, the Perfect Balance Standard model is everything its older sibling is in the only way that really matters – feel. Other cutbacks include no laser engraved heel plate, no high gloss polished footboard and no leather carrying bag (you get a nylon bag instead). I don’t think either of these aspects themselves – being the main practical differences between the two pedals – are deal killers as they make no material difference to the playability or feel of the pedal. Secondly, the hoop clamping system is of a more common/generic design in that it clamps onto the hoop and you tighten it via a wingnut (the original pedal has a self mounting clamp system). The centre post is rigid and like virtually every other pedal around, does nothing more than hold the cam and spring assemblies. ![]() I think there are two obvious differences between the two pedals which you’ll see straight away.įirst off, the Standard version isn’t collapsable like the original model. Ok, so what’s different between the Standard and Signature versions? The smooth foot plate was designed by Jojo Mayer to be able to facilitate easy movement over its surface. Some of these have a multitude of features and adjustable parts and some, namely this one and the aforementioned very vintage one, have virtually no frills at all.Īs you’ll see from the video, the Perfect Balance pedal is a single post, round cam, strap-driven single spring design with a smooth foot plate. These range from one around 100 years old (OK, I don’t actually use it, but I do have it), to examples from the 1980s/90s, 2000s on up. It had some cool features to it, was quite smooth but still remained basic by intention. The original Perfect Balance pedal was itself designed to reflect simplicity and ease of use. Ok, so using the term ‘frills’ in this instance might be a bit of a misnomer. If you know the original pedal, the best thing I can say about this one is that it’s like the ‘lite’ version of that the same basics but with less frills. This pedal has been out for a little while now. That may mean this review is a little less unbiased than usual, so sorry about that. ![]() While I can’t really remember that much about doing that review, I obviously liked the pedal itself as I bought one years later and it’s become one of my favourites. I’m pretty sure that many many years ago I reviewed the original Perfect Balance pedal. ![]()

Your friend may need to tell the story over and over again, sometimes in great detail. Let your friend talk about the suicide.If you can't think of something to say, you can show your support through eye contact, a squeeze of the hand, or a reassuring hug. Instead, be willing to be present and show you are ready to listen when s/he is ready to speak. It's not your job to get your friend to start talking. Your friend should feel free to express feelings knowing that you are willing to listen without judgment, argument, or criticism. Don't try to reason with someone over how s/he should or shouldn't feel. Let the grieving person know that it's OK to cry in front of you, to become angry, or to break down. ![]() Some strategies to be an active listener include: Being able to discuss the enormity of the loss without being afraid and showing you can be there with their pain can be one of the most helpful things a friend can do. While you should never try to force your friend to open up when h/she is not ready, being able to have this conversation when they are ready is important. However, the grieving person often needs to feel that others are willing to acknowledge the truth of the situation. It's not unusual for well-meaning people to avoid talking about suicide or mentioning the deceased person, thinking this is helping. Often finding the right words is less important than letting your friend express him/herself and share with you the nature of the loss. Though it can be difficult to know what to say to your friend, being able to listen effectively is most important. Sometimes just asking a friend how they feel allows the opportunity for your friend to express their feelings. Don't assume you know how the bereaved person feels on any given day. Example: "I want you to know I'm here for you. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for someone is just letting them know that you are there for them when they need you. Example: "I'm not sure what to say, but I want you to know I care." It is OK to show that you are also saddened by the loss and that you do not have all the answers. Be genuine in your communication, and don't hide your feelings.Example: "You're sad and confused about why all this happened." One way of demonstrating to your friend that you are able to hear their story is by reflecting back to them what they are saying. Example: "I'm sorry to hear that this happened. Show your friend that you are aware that this has affected them and that you are there when they need help. Always make sure you choose an appropriate time and place to have a conversation like this, so your friend can feel safe talking to you about their loss. Example: "I heard that _ died by suicide." Using the word "suicide" can be scary, but showing that you are able to talk more openly about what happened can be a way of showing that you are willing to discuss the full extent of the loss. Talking directly can be important this can show that you are not afraid to have a real conversation about the loss they have experienced. Below are some strategies for talking with a friend: Though it can be awkward or uncomfortable when you don't know what to say, in most cases what is needed is just a pair of ears that is willing to hear a friend's story. ![]() For a friend, this often means being able to sit with the grieving person and listen to his/her feelings in a nonjudgmental way, without trying to problem-solve.

That’s what we mean when we say this watch was waterproof, self-winding, shock-resistant and antimagnetic.” High praise indeed. It lived in zig-zagging temperatures from 100 above to 40 below. It was dropped, hit and knocked against ice. Byrd, the commanding officer of Deep Freeze I, characterized the Nivada Antarctic this way, “It was snowed on, rained on, sleeted on. Navy’s Team Deep Freeze I in their expedition to the South Pole. This led to the release of its first waterproof automatic watch, the Antarctic, which was used by the U.S. In 1930, Nivada found its stride when it decided to focus on the creation of automatic watches. It was created by one Jacob Schneider back in 1926 and soon developed a reputation for handsome, accessibly priced, hard-use, extremely reliable, purpose-built, badass timepieces.

Launched in 2013, Wechat Pay exploits the synergy of value between the social network of contacts and the ability to make transfers to these same contacts in one place, without leaving the app. Like WhatsApp, Wechat emerged as a messaging app in 2009, but has since become a “super app” with a variety of functions available to users on one platform. The most emblematic case is the Chinese Wechat Pay. The idea of integrating payment services with social networks is not new. With this, the major banks and payment institutions will have to provide open APIs that allow the initiation of payments by third parties authorized by the Central Bank. The third phase of Open Banking, which should begin on August 30, 2021, will be dedicated to sharing data for payment initiation. The market will be able to explore the synergy between this modality and other initiatives by the Central Bank – especially interoperability with Pix and sharing of Open Banking. Payment initiation is made possible by partnerships between financial institutions and payment service providers. ![]() In the case of WhatsApp Pay in Brazil, which will use Visa’s and Mastercard’s infrastructure, the acquirer will process the transactions, while WhatsApp will authenticate the users for each payment initiation. The PISP does not have direct access to the customers’ bank accounts, nor is it part of the financial flow in the transaction, but simply sends messages to the financial institutions in the payment arrangement. ![]() This is done through programming interfaces that establish contact between the payment initiator and the account provider institutions. When the final user registers a request to make a transfer, the PISP sends a command for the funds to be debited from the payer’s account and credited to the payee’s account. The payments initiation service provider (PISP) was regulated by the Central Bank in October 2020. WhatsApp payments were initially launched in Brazil as soon as June 2020, but the Central Bank suspended the operation at the time, allowing only pilot testing. In India, the service was officially rolled out in November 2020, and is integrated to the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) – similar to the Brazilian Pix. However, while most of these wallets are geared towards payments for goods and services, WhatsApp will be limited to transfers between individuals registered in the app.įor now, the WhatsApp arrangement is composed of the two flagships Visa and Mastercard, the acquirer Cielo, and the issuing institutions Banco do Brasil, Nubank and Sicredi.īrazil will be the second country to host WhatsApp Pay. WhatsApp Pay will work as a digital wallet, just like others such as Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Paypal and PicPay. To use the service, users will need to register a debit card or a prepaid card, which will be used to transfer and receive funds directly from and to their accounts. With this approval, WhatsApp, owned by the Facebook group, will be able to offer in-app peer-to-peer transfers.ĭetails about the new service have not yet been disclosed, but what is known is that like BCB’s instant payments Pix, transfers through the chat app will be free and available to users at any time, 24/7. as a payments initiation service provider. On March 30, the Central Bank (BCB) authorized Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Pagamentos do Brasil Ltda.

Most native grasses are also drought tolerant, remaining green during the dry season, long after annual erosion control grasses have turned dry and brown. Because of their rooting ability, native grasses provide increased water infiltration rates and less over surface flow, thus reducing erosion. Unlike non-native annual grasses, native perennial grasses are long lived and deep rooted plants that provide permanent cover. Native perennial bunch grasses are an excellent choice for erosion control. Long term erosion control planning requires proper plant species selection. We have experience in all of the ecosystems on California's central coast, including coastal terrace prairie, maritime chaparral, coastal scrub, mixed evergreen forest, Santa Cruz sandhills, redwood forest, wetland and riparian habitats.Ĭentral Coast Wilds contracts and oversees hydroseeding of native seed mixes for bank stabilization and revegetation projects.
