Abstract: A method and a Self-Service Terminal are disclosed. The method comprises responsive to a first output of a first weather event detection component of a Self-Service Terminal, SST, detecting, by the SST, a possible weather event in an environment local to the SST; responsive to at least one second output of at least one second weather event detection component of the SST, verifying, by the SST, the possible weather event; and responsive to the verifying, determining, by the SST, that the possible weather event is occurring in the environment local to the SST.

Abstract: A puller system with an elongate adjustable frame, a ratcheting member at the front end of the frame for lockingly pulling a ratchet line attached to the ratcheting member, a gripper attached to the ratch line at one end and to an external object by one or more noose-like self-adjusting loops which securingly grip and retain the external object, and a guide pulley with pivotable sleeve at the front of the frame adapted to guide the external object which is being extracted from an in-ground opening.
