Prior to the turn of the century, shopping was largely done by physically visiting a store or business that offered goods and services to the public. While shopping for things such as food was a necessity, other types of shopping could provide an entertaining pastime.
No matter the product or service, consumers are frequently on the lookout for bargains. Whether shopping for a necessity or a nicety, there’s always a special thrill associated with saving money provided that there is no compromise in the quality of the purchased product or service.
Staying within budget is a constant challenge for maintenance managers. For many, it seems that there is never enough money in the budget. On occasion, however, it is possible to experience a surplus in one’s budget when nearing year end.
When faced with a budget surplus, it is imperative to fully utilize allocated financial resources. Failure to do so can cause a reduction in future budgeting if management perceives that your department is overfunded. When searching for wise choices for year-end spending, training is always a good option.
RSS feeds have become a means for automatically receiving information from web publishers on a wide variety of topics. RSS feeds can provide thermographers with up-to-the minute news and information on thermography and related PdM and NDT topics.
Thermographers who have a website can benefit from an RSS feed by having industry news and information automatically delivered to their website. This is accomplished via software programs called “News Readers” or “RSS Aggregators.” By running your aggregator in automatic mode, it will periodically check the internet to see whether selected feeds have been updated. If the aggregator finds an update, it will download the updated information to your website. Visitors to your website can then click on headlines of interest to read the full story.
