To have a good swing in golf, a player needs to take their time in swinging the club. Players often feel the need to act fast since the ball has to get to a far distance. But a rushed hit might send the ball to a different destination. For a perfect swing, the club's speed has to evolve gradually to hit the ball. The transition from backswing to forward swing doesn't have to be rushed. Therefore, a player needs to ensure a slow swing transition. When calm, players can comfortably pick out a specific target for their shots. Indecisiveness moves the mind all about the place and throws the player off course. But once a definite target is achieved, much energy is invested in seeing that the ball gets to its intended destination.

As the owner and president of California’s Response Fire Supply, Newport Beach resident Devin Doyle provides sprinkler protection systems throughout the region. Devin Doyle’s business is built on technology that dates back much farther than many people think.
Leonardo da Vinci pioneered the concept of sprinklers in the 1400s, albeit to correct the deficiencies of another invention, a conveyor belt that moved baked food from an oven. Unfortunately, the oven burned the food and started a fire. Da Vinci’s new sprinklers saved the day. The next advance came in 1723, when chemist Ambrose Godfrey invented the first automatic system. His device connected heat-driven fuses to gunpowder, which exploded and released water from a container. Another inventor, William Congreve, improved on the technology a hundred years later. Protecting the Theatre Royal in London, a tank filled with 100 tons of water fed the sprinklers through perforated pipes. Ancestors of the familiar sprinkler heads appeared in the 1870s, activated by a heat-sensitive bulb that shattered in a fire. Later improvements included the glass disc sprinkler in use today. A final refinement came in 1953, with the introduction of the modern spray sprinkler. Based in Newport Beach, California, Devin Doyle is a fire safety specialist who has over three decades of experience in the industry, during which time he has founded several companies. Alongside this, Devin Doyle is a member of the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA), an organization that looks to raise awareness about the importance of fire sprinklers.
The non-profit recently announced its support for the retrofitting of high-rise condominiums in Florida with an engineered life safety or sprinkler system, which state Senator Hooper and Representative Donalds look to do with the new legislation. The policies, titled SB 908 and HB 723, aim to increase the number of fire sprinklers in these buildings by making them eligible for the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program. The potential would provide a low- or zero-interest loan to eligible applicants so that they can have a life safety or sprinkler system installed. The NFSA also notes that the move could have various benefits for those who can take advantage of it if passed. It highlights the potential reduction in insurance premiums as one of the more notable. |
