Bulls Eye Tool

[Bigg Gernes]

The PBT was evaluated using a two-group comparison. All pilot participants were volunteers, actively enrolled in a NP program or had less than or equal to two years NP experience. Project participants, N=17, were randomly divided into those who completed simulation in medicine education (SIM) evaluation prior to PBT education, and those who completed SIM evaluation post PBT education. During SIM, project participant time to diagnosis and interventions were documented using a validated checklist. After SIM, each participant verbalized a recorded handoff report to a transferring facility. Recorded handoff reports of both groups were analyzed for communication enhancements from PBT training. Once both groups concluded all project components, a Likert survey evaluating perception of practice confidence after PBT training was completed.

The PBT trained group was observed to be marginally slower during SIMS due to increased cognitive processing; however, they were more likely than the non-PBT group to diagnose and intervene appropriately in several areas. The PBT group also had more effective communication patterns during handoff reports than the non-PBT group. Further, PBT training increased perception of practice confidence in both groups.

Based on findings, the PBT is a promising tool that has the capacity to enhance NP clinical reasoning while simultaneously promoting effective handoff communication. Improving these skills increased perceptions of practice confidence. Combined, these improvements could result in decreased healthcare cost by reducing patient errors, delays, and NP turnover.

How does the Big Bull Roll-up compare to a traditional roll bag?
The Big Bull Roll-up has six small pockets for organizing your belongings, whereas most roll bags only contain no more than two large storage pockets.

What is Ballistic Nylon fabric?
Ballistic Nylon is a thick, tough, synthetic nylon fabric used for a variety of applications. Ballistic Nylon was originally developed by the DuPont corporation as a material for flak jackets to be worn by World War II airmen. The term "ballistic" takes its name from the fact that it was intended to protect its wearers from flying debris and fragmentation caused by bullet or artillery shell impacts. This is a special grade heavier weight nylon fabric designed for hard use.

Can I get the Big Bull Roll-up bag in a different color other than black?
Our U.S.A. sourced Ballistic Nylon is currently only available in black, which is also the best color to hide oil, dirt and grease stains.

What is the best way to pack the Big Bull Roll-up?
We recommend using our Red Oxx Packing Cubes and building your own custom personal packing cube kit. Or try organizing your stuff with a Nomad toiletry kit and/or Lil Roy Gadget bags. The Tri-fold Toiletry bag is also a great organizer due to its three individual zippered mesh pockets and unique fold open flat hanging design.

My zipper broke. The teeth have separated. Do I send it in for warranty repair?
No need for warranty repair, try fixing it yourself. Check out this video where CEO Jim Markel shows how easy it is to do it yourself.

Do you ship your bags to Canada and how much does that cost?
Certainly, we ship to Canada for a fixed UPS Expedited or USPS Priority International shipping fee of only $30.00. All disbursement fees due on delivery are the responsibility of the buyer. Other International orders are $50.00, except Australia and New Zealand for only $55.00.

How do I use or store my bag to keep its original padded shape?
When using your bag, pack heavy items in the bottom of the bag. When storing your bag, removed any items and press flat. You can stack your bags in your closet in this manner or better yet, use a compression strap (sold separately) to hang your bag.

I watched your camping kitchen videos and was wondering, is this the Overland Equipment Bag that Jim is using?
Yes, this is the correct bag. Not just for camp kitchens, but storing mechanics tools and spare vehicle parts... in fact that was it's original intention during its development.

I have been using a Bull Hammer 75 for years. It's a great and simple pneumatic power hammer. Unfortunately, the ball valve that gets actuated by the throttle link is worn out and needs to be replaced/repaired. I suspect that the screw that engages the ball valve might be worn or possibly the groove in the ball or both.

Those were made by Tom Troszak before he started making the Phoenix hammer. He used to live not too far from me, but I haven't heard a peep from him or about him in years. Here's the last known address: -phoenix-forging-hammers. Good luck! He's a spacy dude.

Sometimes it is easier/faster to fix a piece like that than to locate and order a replacement. If you can get it apart like your sample piece. I would braze or weld up the end of the shaft then file to fit the worn slot. Or braze the slot and go at it with a Dremel until the worn shaft fits. A wise person once said "There isn't much a fellow can't ruin with a Dremel tool".

I think it's (probably) a one-piece ball valve and I'm guessing at 1" for the 1/2" bore. These are always reduced-bore valves (AFAIK). It's worth doing a quick web search for the differences between 1,2 &3-piece valves so you've got an idea of what you are looking at. One-piece are pretty similar to 2-piece except that the bit that screws in and holds the seat in, has the same (parallel) pipe thread as the nominal size of the valve.

I'd probably have a look for another one-piece that looks similar enough that you can pilfer the moving parts and transfer them into the body you have. There may be readily-available one-piece valves with mounting lugs on the bottom, but I don't recall seeing any. Most of the ones I've seen with mounting lugs have them on the top to take an actuator (though TBH, usually it would be a 3-piece valve for use with an actuator) or to allow mounting to the rear of a panel with the lever accessible from the front of the panel.

I finally got the valve opened - it required a surprising amount of leverage for all pieces to get them to move. It's a two piece valve - but has an interesting inner screw to hold the delrin(?) washer in place against the ball valve. It's 3/4" FNPTxFNPT rated 2000 WOG and I have not been able to find anything like it.

I think a 1000 PSI rating is pretty standard in stainless and the bodies usually seem to be cast. In Carbon steel, they are usually machined from Hex bar stock IME and may have higher pressure ratings. They are almost never automated and any slop is usually between the handle and the spindle, though I only have experience of manual valves that probably don't see a thousand open/close cycles per year. If yours is moved automatically, I'd expect loads of slop.

Seems to be the sort of thing you need, though it doesn't have the welded-on mounting bracket. I suspect that was done by the guy who built the hammer and you may need to do the same sort of thing yourself. I don't know how much distortion welding it might cause

Depending on the amount of space you have to work with (i.e. moving parts close by) I would find the closest off the shelf valve and modify how it's mounted to the hammer so it fits with the levering that actuates the handwheel. I've replaced all sorts of pneumatic and hydraulic lines/valves/manifolds and as long as the pressure rating of the lines and valves is higher than the actual system pressure it's fine. Mounting profiles are sometimes contained in the part designation, but without the part info it's more of a headache than it's worth to figure out and translate to industry nomenclature. That being said, if you can find any ball valve that has a mounting frame and correct interfaces with your lines, I would try that and if you have to drill/tap a new hole to mount it to the hammer, maybe make a new linkage to interact with the hammer actuation mechanism, you'll be done far quicker than trying to source the exact match. Just my 2 cents, hopefully it's relevant.

Hehe. This one better last me at least ten years. It was interesting that I could not find a direct replacement. The original valve was 3/4in female npt on one side but the two piece side was 1/2in female npt. Quite odd.

There are countless pieces of data available when seeking to evaluate potential A.I. sires or herd bulls. While originally developed decades ago, Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are considered the gold standard of tools available for genetic progress. Today, EPDs are available for performance, maternal and carcass traits. Indexes also exist for different situations, and these continue to evolve (more on indexes another time).

Before making mating decisions, consider the genetic makeup of your cowherd. Are your cows predominantly British-based, Continental-based or a blend? For commercial herds, it makes sense (and cents) to utilize crossbreeding for the added benefit of lowly heritable traits like reproductive traits. It also makes sense to select for highly heritable traits like growth and carcass traits using EPDs. For example, Angus-based commercial herds would mate well with a Simmental or Charolais bull that has top percentile EPDs for growth, ribeye area and low fat thickness EPDs.
