Team Work in Business In order to give an idea of the subject of this blog, I would like to share with you similarities which I noticed in a reality show and the operations of our STORAGE FACILITY. I happened to be watching an episode of “TOP CHEF” the other day. I enjoy cooking and I take pride in preparing different dishes and sharing them with other people who enjoy having them. In preparing a selected dish I begin in taking an inventory of the ingredients needed to properly and efficiently prepare the dish for presentation. One chef once told me that many businesses mirror each other with the same product. Taking this thought in mind and my reference to “TOP CHEF”, all the chefs in the show are given the same basic ingredients to start with, as we do here at “STORAGE STATION” and our competators.They as we at “STORAGE STATION” then depend on their expertise, knowledge, skill and their presence of mind of the audience or customer and what they are dealing with. Next they depend on their staff.
A New Map Of The U.S., Created From Where We Get Our Water This map shows what America would look like if it followed its watersheds. It's an America designed to use water more efficiently, and reduce state conflicts over water. Think state conflicts over water aren't a big deal? Then you don't know that Georgia, Florida, and Alabama are engaged in a massive battle over their water sources. There's a similar situation in the dry Southwest. Made by John Lavey, a land use planner at the Sonoran Institute, the map is inspired by an idea from 19th-century adventurer and geologist John Wesley Powell. Unfortunately, back then, the railway lobby wouldn't have it: The rail lobby, buoyed by Charles Dan Wilbur and his theory that “rain follows the plough,” successfully swayed congressional opinion to accept state’s boundaries in their contemporary form. Lavey's map imagines Powell's idea across the whole of America. Without railways, intensive agriculture and mass urbanization, the West wouldn't be the West it is today.

Self Storage Facility Wouldn't Worsen Flooding, Engineer Says - Government - Fair Lawn-Saddle Brook, NJ Patch A developer has applied to build a new Lackland Self Storage on the border of Saddle Brook and Fair Lawn, near flood-prone homes. The developer of a proposed 121,275-square-foot Midland Avenue self storage facility in Saddle Brook next to Fair Lawn will give easements to the county for drainage systems, but that won't necessarily fix nearby residents' flooding problem. Mark Madaio, the attorney representing Storage Assets, LLC 's application to build the Lackland Self Storage and truck rental facility, said during a special Saddle Brook Zoning Board meeting Tuesday that they would agree to give the easement to Bergen County as a condition of the plan's approval. The easement would cross both pieces of the proposed-to-be subdivided property and another neighboring property with the same owner. For flood-prone residents, that means relief from rising waters may not be coming anytime soon, even if the self storage plan is approved. "I believe this application is defective," Rosenberg said.
Clean water more precious than gold The scarcity of water is growing into an ever bigger problem. — New, sustainable solutions for securing water supplies and for more effective water usage these days are more precious than gold, explains Senior Researcher Mona Arnold. Water consumption has risen threefold over the last 50 years. — Consumption has increased twice as fast as population growth. Most water is used for agriculture and food production, but industry is also a major consumer, Arnold continues. — Individual homes account for just eight percent of total consumption, although figures vary from country to country. Too much or too little The most common source of drinking water is ground water, excessive consumption of which is a phenomenon in both industrialized and developing countries. — Climate change makes the situation worse as extreme weather conditions become more common. Finland is one of the leading countries when it comes to clean water. — We have abundant, high quality water supplies. World-class expertise

Environment and Natural Resources Division : Federal Reserved Water Rights and State Law Claims Reserved Water Rights and the Supreme Court The doctrine of federal reserved water rights generally traces its origins to the seminal decision of Winters v. United States, 207 U.S. 564 (1908). There, the United States Supreme Court ruled, when the United States sets aside an Indian reservation, it impliedly reserves sufficient water to fulfill the purposes of the reservation, with the priority date established as of the date of the reservation. Over half a century later, following the passage of the McCarran Amendment, the Supreme Court had occasion to revisit – and build upon – this turn of the century decision in Arizona v. Over the coming years, the Supreme Court had several occasions to explore the contours of the reserved water rights doctrine. Several years later, in United States v. Reserved Water Rights in Colorado In the wake of this decision, NRS attorneys in the Denver field office handled many significant cases in the Colorado district water courts.
Americans are choking in clutter and defined by storage units They have become a defining characteristic of the roadside, wedged in among the malls and fast-food franchises, barracks-like rows of buildings with small garage doors, surrounded by a fence. A gated enclave for excess stuff. There are 2.3 billion square feet of self-storage space in America, or more than 7 square feet for every, man, woman and child in the country. The storage shed is a symptom of our cluttered lives. “We have too much. People call Aslett, saying, “We don’t know how all this stuff got here.” We’re crowding ourselves out of our houses. Entertainment has come home, too. Somewhere in there, between the physical and virtual clutter, we are losing the ordinary qualities of home — the solitude to recollect, the time for families to talk. A happy home, said the philosopher Gaston Bachelard, frees us to daydream. Clutter is choking our shelters. If we believe the gospel according to decluttering gurus, an awakening awaits those who clean house. This mess is us.
Scientist investigates water management of Everglades : University of Hawaiʻi System News Sunset over the Everglades mangrove ecosystem (photo credit: David Ho, University of Hawaiʻi’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology The National Science Foundation awarded $5 million to David Ho , oceanography professor in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology , and his collaborators, as a part of NSF’s Water, Sustainability and Climate Program. The five-year project will explore the hydrologic, ecologic and economic impacts of management strategies designed to increase the resilience of the Florida Everglades ecosystem to climate variability, climate change and sea level rise. “My role in this project is to study the effect of changing freshwater supply, due to management decisions and climate change, on carbon cycling in the mangrove ecosystem of the Everglades,” said Ho. The carbon cycle is inextricably linked to climate change. — Adapted from a UH Mānoa news release Category : Research
Organized Storage Organizing your self storage unit is a task that can actually save you time, energy and possible even some money depending on how you utilize your unit and for what purpose. I have to be quite honest that most self storage units that I have seen into are not exactly organized for efficiency and sometimes they do not need to be extensively organized but in certain situations having a well organized self storage unit can be quit beneficial to the tenants needs. Take for instance a tenant who owns a thrift shop or for that matter any tenant who utilizes a self storage unit for their business keeping overstocked or seasonal items or anything of the like within their unit. Now, common sense would tell these business owners that having an organized self storage unit would help to keep their product/items in check and readily accessible for their needs when the time comes to access them.
