Arenas, conventions, concerts, and sporting events are all expected to gradually resume in the coming months, which means more crowds and the unfortunate risk of COVID-19 exposure. Social distancing is an easy way to mitigate the risk of spreading germs. But it may be challenging to enforce in seated events. Seating Master USA seeks to encourage social distancing using specialized seat covers that can be used to make whole rows unavailable, or individual seats. With two elastic bands on each side, these covers fit quickly and easily on any type of seat, chair and bleacher. This will allow guests to enjoy events safely, within an appropriate distance from each other. As you start making reopening guidelines for your venue, seat covers present a practical and efficient way to gently enforce social distancing rules and keep your audience safe.
Seating Master USA is a leader in custom design telescopic seating. We know that venues and seating designs come in all shapes and sizes. So, if your venue needs a unique fit, let us know and we are happy to make customized designs upon request. Let us help you reopen safely.
If you own an Android device, there's a new threat to be at least moderately concerned about. It takes the form of a new ransomware family that spreads from one victim to the next with text messages that contain poisoned links to every contact on an infected device.
The ESET research team that found the software had this to say about it:
"Due to narrow targeting and flaws in both execution of the campaign and implementation of its encryption, the impact of this new ransomware is limited.
If your system is infected, the first thing it will do is raid your contacts list and send SMS text messages to everyone on it. Anybody who clicks on the link in the SMS message will also be infected.
After sending a flurry of messages, the malware will turn its attention to your device itself. It will then set about the task of encrypting most of the files on your device. Fortunately, the people behind this new threat prove themselves to be new to the game."
ESET continues:
"After the ransomware sends out this batch of malicious SMSes, it encrypts most user files on the device and requests a ransom. Due to flawed encryption, it is possible to decrypt the affected files without any assistance from the attacker."
All in all, this issue is only of minor concern. It's annoying, and certainly time consuming to restore your files. However, it's not an especially dangerous malware strain - yet, and that's the problem.
Whomever is behind this new threat certainly has the right idea, even if they lack the technical chops to pull it off. Skills, however, can be learned and honed. As a first try, this effort is disturbing because it's clever. The moment the people who wrote the code get the technical skills to pair with that cleverness, they're going to be genuinely dangerous.

According to the western calendar, the first day of spring falls on the 20th of March, a month that usually feels quite chilly, so during March, we begin living in Springtime while feeling that winter has not yet ended. Many who write about the month examine this two-sided quality by describing variable aspects of nature like cold weather changing to warm then back to cold, flowers starting to bud then being covered with snow, and gray skies turning blue then back to gray in a single day. If only Mother Nature would arrange for more regular spring-like conditions throughout March, we’d all be happier. But, as many commentators note, the month’s weather is unpredictable, and hopes of spring are often dashed by a sudden return to winter.
However, despite its unpredictability, March can be seen as one of the cheeriest months of the year. Flowers and trees are budding, spring is on the way, and the major holiday, St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, offers a day-long party with no gifts and little stress. St. Patrick’s Day honors the Irish people and culture as well as a man who was not even Irish. St. Patrick, although born in Britain, came to embody Irish kindness, love, and wit through his devotion to Ireland and his work in freeing its people from paganism. Thus, he became an Irishman in spirit and was honored with a special day.
The first collection of quotes below relates to the qualities of March and its weather, as the authors describe the varied conditions that exist during the month from day to day or even in a single day. One writer compares the ups and downs of March to the variability of human life. Another describes March as “the month of expectation,” while yet another portrays it as both hopeful and frustrating. What are your feelings on the many-sided month of March? The second group of quotes relates to St. Patrick’s Day.
Hopefully, you’ll find pearls of wisdom, sources of inspiration, and touches of humor among these observations, which can be posted on your whiteboard wall to motivate you while working from home to provide a laugh, or to teach your children in the home school setting. According to psychologist and motivation expert Dr. Jonathan Fader, reading stimulating quotes can positively affect people who are open to upbeat messages that have strong images and appeal to their optimistic natures. So, to uplift your mood and help you think about aspects of your life that you might want to change, your whiteboard wall can serve as a posting area. Try regularly writing down three to seven of the quotes that best resonate with your work-from-home or home school goals and agenda. With any luck, you’ll get some food for thought, a touch of humor, and a bit of personal encouragement in the process.

Polycarbonate plastic materials give you a great blend of useful features including high temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties position polycarbonates in between commodity plastics and engineering materials. Polycarbonate is a very sturdy material. Although it has exceptional impact-resistance, it has got lower scratch-resistance and so a hard coating is often applied to polycarbonate eye protection and polycarbonate exterior motor vehicle components. The properties associated with polycarbonate are like those of common Acrylic materials, yet , polycarbonate is undoubtedly stronger, it is usable in a wider temperature range and is a bit more expensive. This plastic polymer is highly transparent to visible light and it has better light transmission characteristics than most grades of glass. Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature of approximately 150 °C (302 °F), therefore it softens slowly above this point and flows above about 300°C (572 °F). Tools ought to be held at warm to high temperatures, generally above 80 °C (176 °F) for making strain- and almost stress free products. Unlike almost all other thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo massive shape changes without cracking. Hence, it could be processed and formed cold using standard sheet metal techniques, such as forming bends on a brake. For even sharp angle bends having a tight radius, no heating is usually necessary. This makes it valuable in prototyping applications where transparent or electrically non-conductive parts are important, which cannot be crafted from sheet metal. Understand that PMMA/Plexiglas, that is similar in appearance to polycarbonate, but it's brittle and cannot be bent at room temperature.
The light weight of polycarbonate, compared with glass, has led to development of electronic touch screens that replace glass materials with polycarbonate, for use in mobile and portable devices. Such displays include newer e-ink as well as LCD screens, though CRT, plasma screen and other LCD technologies which still require glass for its higher melting temperature and the ability to be etched in finer detail. Other kinds of items made from Polycarbonate include durable, lightweight luggage, MP3/digital audio player cases, computer cases, police riot shields, instrument panels, and blender jars. Many toys and hobby products are made out of polycarbonate parts, e.g. fins, gyro mounts, and flybar locks for use with radio-controlled helicopters. For use in applications subjected to weathering or UV-radiation, a special surface treatment maybe needed. This may be a coating (e.g. for improved abrasion resistance), or a coextrusion for enhanced weathering resistance. The Makrolon Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic that starts as a solid material in the form of small pellets. In a manufacturing process called injection molding, the pellets are heated until they melt. The liquid polycarbonate is then rapidly pushed into molds, compressed under high pressure and cooled to form a finished product , that only takes about a minute to complete.
