![]() Maintenance schedules may be different for certain types of vehicles, and maintenance may be triggered by different factors depending on the type of vehicle. Determine Maintenance Intervalsĭetermine how often preventive maintenance will be performed for each class of vehicle in your fleet. That means a complete inspection with all available data documented, the maintenance history for the vehicle (if available), parts replaced, vendors, etc.Įvery vehicle should have a current inspection and service record, as well as a baseline of current mileage, fluid levels, and any other available information. A process for ordering parts and maintaining spare parts inventoryīefore implementing a PM program, you’ll need a clear picture of the current status of every vehicle in your fleet.A record-keeping method, which consists either of written documentation or software.A staff of automotive technicians qualified to perform inspections, maintenance activities, and repairs.An automotive facility where inspections, maintenance, and repairs will take place.A process for drivers to submit written complaints, such as when a vehicle breaks down or is exhibiting symptoms that could indicate a problem.A process for drivers to submit written inspections.The service interval, or the frequency at which preventive maintenance will be performed on vehicles.A checklist of all preventive maintenance activities to be performed during scheduled maintenance (this may differ for each class of vehicle).You’ll need a few essential items for an effective fleet preventive maintenance plan, including: What You Need to Implement a Fleet Preventive Maintenance Plan How to Implement a Fleet Preventive Maintenance Program 1. A proactive strategy, such as preventive maintenance, also helps a company reduce the likelihood of repeat failures by making improvements over time. ![]() If maintenance is identified as an issue this can then expose the responsible company to liabilities resulting from their failure to protect employees and the public. If a vehicle breaks down as the result of a mechanical failure, there will most often be an investigation to determine the root cause. Since preventive maintenance work can be scheduled ahead of time, parts and supplies can be ordered in bulk thereby reducing the cost of individual components needed to maintain the fleet. With most fleet vehicles spending much of their time on the road, this also helps reduce the likelihood of accidents resulting from vehicle failure. Preventive maintenance is designed to correct issues before they develop into major issues or even catastrophic failures. Lower-Cost RepairsĪnother important benefit of a preventive maintenance program is a reduction in repair costs over time. A preventive maintenance program can improve decision-making and streamline the maintenance process for any vehicle regardless of age or function. The vehicles in a transportation fleet are themselves some of the highest cost assets which these businesses manage. Extended Vehicle Life Spanīy finding and repairing problems early on, preventive maintenance can improve the useful life of each vehicle. This level of standardization can result in many important benefits that a business can realize. A formal preventive maintenance program, when implemented effectively, provides a company with a stable framework of routine practices. Preventive maintenance is a proactive method for ensuring the safe operation and efficiency of a fleet. Why Is a Fleet Preventive Maintenance Program Important? Download our interactive Fleet Maintenance Planning Checklist now or continue reading for more details on how to implement a fleet preventive maintenance plan. Preventive maintenance can reduce long-term costs by extending the usable life of your vehicles, and additionally, it helps to ensure the safety of your vehicle operators on the road. Preventive maintenance is useful for fleets, as performing maintenance tasks on a scheduled basis is preferable to pulling a vehicle from availability for unexpected breakdowns and repairs. When managing a fleet, vehicle availability is paramount. When pre-defined thresholds are met, preventive maintenance plans trigger activities such as vehicle inspection, cleaning, testing, repairs, the replacement of parts, lubrication, and other ongoing vehicle maintenance activities. Preventive maintenance is based on mileage, time, engine hours, or gallons of fuel used. ![]() Preventive maintenance for fleets is the best way to reduce – even avoid – vehicle breakdowns.

Please note that we are a small team of 3 people, therefore it is very simple to support us to maintain the activity and create future developments. The Ridgid base still needs to be modified to accommodate a screw here though as it will interfere with the ridgid battery as-is. I did add a hole for a 3mm bolt to lock the adapter. It is very tight and I leave it on the tool all the time so I will likely not address this. This adapter does NOT lock onto the tool. The TH + ID pins will likely short and maybe it will destroy the charger, start a fire, cause cancer. It will position the plug to allow the battery to go on/off easier and prevents vibration from loosening the solder joints.ĭO NOT CHARGE USING THIS ADAPTER. Put a ridgid battery onto the adapter and fill the top with glue. I heated the nuts and melted them into place to get it flush. The Ridgid base nut cutouts were too small for me. The third center pin needs a 12k pull-up resistor between itself and positive post (This was measured on an official 3aH battery but varies pack to pack but not sure) If needed use pics on google to determine positive and negative posts. When soldering press the wire down to embed it into the print slightly. Insert the wire into the lower holder and bend back through the top. Print using supports (I use tree supports)Ĭontacts are created using stripped household copper wire. Mounting hole modified to hold ridgid plug properly The base was enlarged and screw holes added. The dewalt battery cover was found on the net somewhere. I reused the Ridgid base from that model. (Crude) AEG Ridgid Battery to Dewalt Tool Adapterīuilt this for a yard tool that was unavailable from Ridgid. Indeed, it’s hard to name mainstream Black rock musicians - try for yourself. “It’s just really weird to embrace a stereotype like that and think it’s OK.” “When you get into modern rock, there are even fewer Black people represented unless Bob Marley gets played at 4/20, which is frankly a little insulting,” he said, referring to April 20th “pot day” celebrations. “Listening to rock radio, no matter where I am in the world, the only Black artist I ever really hear is Jimi Hendrix, maybe Lenny Kravitz,” said Taylor. It was inducted into The Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003 and is frequently associated with Clapton. But there’s a power dynamic embedded in that borrowing.”įor example, she points out, Bob Marley wrote the classic tune I Shot the Sheriff in 1973 and performed with The Wailers. ‘Borrowing’ or ‘sampling’ sound like nice words, because they sound like an equal exchange. We talk about cultural appropriation… we reduce it to just borrowing, or sampling, another reductionist term. In a lot of cases, when this music becomes mainstream, it becomes disassociated from Black experience and Black context. “Over the years, you see in the 1920s and 1930s, Black music was very underground, very benign, marginalized,” said Lisa Tomlinson, a cultural critic, formerly of York University and now a lecturer/professor at the University of the West Indies. In modern speak, it’s referred to as “cultural appropriation,” the unacknowledged adoption of customs, practices and ideas of one group of people by members of another and typically more dominant group of people.

And worse still, it usually worked - countless songs written by Black folks reached No. Ideally, the songs would be presented as written with credit for their origins completely transparent, but unfortunately in a lot of cases, the songs were adjusted to be more “palatable” for a white audience. (Not to pick on Joplin specifically, but the majority of her tunes were written by Black people, with a few exceptions like the self-penned Down on Me, Move Over and Mercedes Benz.)Īnd this is just a taste. Jones and Ellison wrote two other Joplin classics, Trouble in Mind and Try (Just a Little Bit Harder), respectively. Dixon composed 16 Candles (which was reinvigorated when the movie of the same name was released in 1984, covered by white trio The Stray Cats on the soundtrack), along with other tunes like Boys and Baby It’s You, both later recorded by the Beatles. Many Black creators died penniless and nameless, without any credit for the music they brought to the world.īlackwell wrote Presley hits All Shook Up, Don’t Be Cruel and Return to Sender, as well as the future Jerry Lee Lewis hit Great Balls of Fire. In the majority of cases, it turns out most Black songwriters of those eras barely made a dime off of their creative work, while the white musicians found radio airtime, fame, money, and notoriety for generations using the exact same song. ![]() READ MORE: Woodstock 50 relocates from New York to… Maryland ![]() ![]() That’s not to say I’m naive to the songwriting process - I know that most songs have multiple collaborators - but what isn’t clear in pop culture history is how many songs were written by Black people and only made “famous” by white artists. As a white person born and raised in Canada, I’ve grown up believing that Janis Joplin wrote all of her biggest hits, as did the Beatles, Elvis Presley and any other big artist from the ’60s and ’70s. Usually the stories we’re familiar with are the ones we want to believe, or maybe the sad reality is we haven’t been taught any other alternative from the “mainstream” schools of thought.Ĭase in point is the history of music, and specifically, for this analysis, classic and modern rock. ![]() See what your friends are playing, find EA’s newest releases, and add them to your collection within a few clicks.

It’s only too bad that it’s not a major update to Origin’s own platform but you can easily switch between them and continue playing your games. Help improve the appĪll in all, EA Desktop is a vast improvement of a platform and brings in features that have long been requested by fans. If you don’t see some games, they are probably not added to the platform yet so just wait until they arrive. Your games will automatically be downloaded and ready to be played, as these are tied to your account and not just Origin. After doing so, log in with your EA account. To switch to this version when you already have the Origin application, you have to first install this app as it’s a completely separate program. It’s pretty easy to get the app since the beta is open to all players-even if you already have Origin software. However, much of them are just fixes and updates. It will also offer faster updates and more cross-play features. You can now seamlessly access the social feature with the in-game overlay and check your friend list, chat, and others’ profiles. This new desktop application retains Origin’s original features and further improves on them. The origin may, for example, be their home, and a movie theater could be their destination. First, we make sure that the people in the group are familiar with the city where they live, and then, we select two well-known places that they must travel mentally as if they were walking to them. With this type of exercise, we can train visuospatial skills. Spatial visualization and planning are particularly trained. This task is designed for patients with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease. ![]() This activity consists of visualizing what a series of cubes would look like if some of them were moved. There are manylternatives: just by putting a time limit on an appealing activity and with a clearly quantifiable purpose, we have an exercise to stimulate cognitive processing speed. It definitely stimulates processing speed in particular. Find the MonumentĪn activity that we all possibly end up doing since it is so motivating, this exercise consists of following the directions as quickly as possible until finding the monument within a set time. This activity especially targets reasoning. The idea here is to match pairs of words by category, for example, a pair of clothing items. For example, the therapist can create a customized word search with the client’s favorite players or the names of their relatives, which is something ideal to improve the client’s motivation while completing the puzzle. NeuronUP provides a customized word search in which the words can be adapted to the individual needs of each person. This activity has many versions: finding certain fruits in the grid of letters, finding single-colored words or specific symbols, etc. It involves finding hidden words within a word search puzzle, and it is excellent for people with Parkinson’s disease to promote attention. ![]() ![]() Word SearchĪnother mental activity that is a classic in cognitive stimulation is ‘word search’. IntertwinedĪ more suitable activity for people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease, and very effective for stimulating visuospatial skills, this exercise involves forming a geometric figure by moving its vertices into shape without its sides crossing each other. Another alternative is to match pictures. In this example, clients must match words that are associated to each other. This exercise is oriented towards training language, reasoning, and semantic memory. “Word association” is another classic in cognitive stimulation, and is ideal for people with Parkinson’s disease. This exercise is an excellent choice for training visuospatial skills, sustained attention, and processing speed. In this activity, clients must control a scarf which roams around picking up the balls of yarn, while trying to avoid hitting its own tail or the walls that surround the playing area. This activity includes both picture-only and text-only versions. All daily activities can be divided into steps that the person must complete in order.įor example, in the image above, the person must number the steps necessary to make a meal in a logical order. ![]() This kind of activity is very useful for the stimulation of executive function in people with Parkinson’s disease. Cognitive Stimulation Activities for People with Parkinson’s Disease Task Sequencing (text-only) NeuronUP has cognitive stimulation exercises to train the cognitive functions most frequently affected in people with Parkinson’s disease: attention, visuospatial skills, information processing speed and, especially, executive function. |
