Contact group to discuss aid to rebel council
INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE:THE LIBYAN contact group is set to meet in Istanbul tomorrow to discuss assistance to the country’s National Transitional Council during the post-Gadafy era.
The agenda of the gathering, which will include officials from Nato, the EU and Arab League, will include the provision of finance, continuing protection of civilians, restarting essential services, and ensuring a smooth transition that would include all factions, the existing administration and security forces.
The group wants to avoid a repeat of Iraq after the removal of the Baathist regime in 2003, when the civil service was dissolved and the armed forces disbanded, precipitating anarchy and chaos.
The transitional council will urge the international community to facilitate the release of $30 billion (€20.8 billion) in frozen funds to cover immediate spending. Turkey, the conference host, says it will provide $300 million to the council to fund the new government and the transition.
French foreign minister Alain Juppé has called for a summit meeting of contact group members in Paris next week. He said the gathering could be chaired jointly by French president Nicolas Sarkozy and British prime minister David Cameron, who spearheaded the Nato mission in Libya.
UN secretary general Ban Ki- moon urged Libyans to “focus on national unity and reconciliation. This is a hopeful moment but also there are risks ahead”.
Nato ambassadors are also due to meet in Brussels to consider “options for a possible Nato role” in post-Gadafy Libya, Oona Lungescu, and organisation spokeswoman has said. Nato would not deploy troops on the ground and would be limited to a supporting role, while the UN and the contact group would take the lead.
Nato would act only “upon request” from the new Libyan government. For the present, Nato would continue to carry out its UN-mandated mission of providing protection for civilians.
Bahrain became the latest Arab country to recognise the transitional council, while Nigeria broke with the 53-member African Union to extend recognition 48 hours ahead of a meeting of the union’s high-level panel on Libya.
Ghana is also considering recognition. “Nigeria is jumping the gun in recognising the rebels as representatives of Libya,” stated Gwede Mantashe, secretary general of South Africa’s ruling African National Congress.
South Africa remains critical of Nato’s bombing campaign, which is seen as exceeding the UN mandate to protect Libyan civilians. President Jacob Zuma asserted: “The situation in Libya has been of concern as it has [involved] the undermining of the African continent’s role in finding a solution” to the conflict.
Meanwhile, countries with economic interests in Libya are determined to protect their investments. Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini said a delegation from Eni, Italy’s oil company, had arrived in Libya to assess the situation of the oil industry and decide when it could resume pumping its 1.6 million barrels a day. Italy is the chief customer for Libyan oil.
Chinese commerce ministry spokesman Wen Zhongliang called on the transitional council to ensure the safety of its investments. He was responding to comments made by an official at an oil firm captured by the rebels who said China and Russia could suffer due to their refusal to support the revolt. China has 50 mainly infrastructural projects in Libya valued at $50 billion and Libya exported 3 per cent of China’s imported crude oil during 2010.
The governments of China, Russia and the Arab and African states are deeply suspicious of Western intentions in Libya.
Their concerns have been confirmed by the gatherings of the contact group and Nato.
They contribute to the impression the Western powers are determined to secure their interests by managing the transition from the Gadafy regime to a government appointed by a parliament elected in eight months’ time. | [

It’s time to say goodbye to the Greek alphabet for tropical storm and hurricane names!
The World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Hurricane Committee announced the change at their annual meeting on March 18, 2021. Instead, the committee said they will create a supplemental list of names to use after the original one is exhausted, beginning with the upcoming 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
Meteorologists assign names to any storm that becomes a tropical storm (sustained winds of 39-73 mph) or hurricane (74 mph or greater). This is done to help communicate and keep track of the differences between each storm, especially when more than one develops at one time.
In the Atlantic-Basin, each letter (except Q, U, X, Y, and Z) is assigned one name (alternative male-female) in alphabetical order for a total of 21 names.
In 2021, the first storm to reach tropical storm and/or hurricane status will be called Ana, followed by Bill and Claudette. Here is a look at the primary name list for the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.
If we have an active hurricane season (such as last year in 2020), we could end up with more than 21 tropical storms and/or hurricanes.
With the new supplemental list, the 22nd named storm (storm after Wanda) of the 2021 hurricane season will be Adria, followed by Braylen and Caridad and so on.
Why The Change?
In the past, the Greek alphabet was used to name the additional storms once the primary list was finished. However, the Hurricane Committee said this caused a number of concerns.
- “There can be too much focus on the use of Greek alphabet names and not the actual impacts from the storm. This can greatly detract from the needed impact and safety messaging.”
- “There is confusion with some Greek alphabet names when they are translated into other languages used within the region.“
The Committee said the pronunciation of the Greek letters was also an issued, especially when storms with similar letters were active at the same time.
- The pronunciation of several of the Greek letters (Zeta, Eta, Theta) are similar and occur in succession. In 2020, this resulted in storms with very similar sounding names occurring simultaneously, which led to messaging challenges rather than streamlined and clear communication.”
Retiring of Greek alphabet named storms was another problem because you can’t retire a letter of the alphabet.
“Impacts from Eta and Iota were severe enough that those names have been formally retired by the Hurricane Committee. There was no formal plan for retiring Greek names, and the future use of these names would be inappropriate”.
When a storm causes a significant amount of devastation to a region or has a large amount of fatalities, the WMO will retire the storm name and replace it on the official hurricane name list. Some of the most infamous storms to be retired are Andrew (1992), Katrina (2005), Sandy (2012), Dorian (2019), and Laura (2020).
Before 2020, no Greek alphabet named storm was retired. During their meeting, the WMO decided Eta and Iota from the 2020 season both caused enough destruction to receive this designation.
While the official start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season on June 1 is still a few months away, be sure to stay with your Weather Authority team for the latest updates on the tropics. | [

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge into photography and invest in your first camera. The big question is: should you buy a Canon DSLR camera or a Canon mirrorless camera? Both have their pros and cons, but which one is right for you? Here, we’re going to compare the two types of cameras and help you decide which one is best for your needs. Keep reading to learn more!
What Makes A Mirrorless SLR Different From A DSLR?
Mirrorless Cameras Lack Mirror Boxes/Pentaprism
Brands like Canon offers a wide range of cameras, from entry-level point-and-shoots to high-end DSLRs. However, Canon also offers a few mirrorless cameras, which lack the mirror box/pentaprism found in DSLR cameras. Mirrorless cameras have several advantages over DSLRs. For one, they’re usually smaller and lighter, making them easier to carry around. Mirrorless cameras also tend to have faster autofocus systems, as well as more advanced video features.
A Mirrorless Camera Doesn’t Have To Build In All The Mechanical Components That DSLRs Do
Mirrorless cameras have been around for a while now, but they’ve really started to gain in popularity in recent years. One of the main reasons for this is that Mirrorless cameras don’t have to build in all the mechanical components that DSLR cameras do. This makes Mirrorless cameras lighter and more compact, which is ideal for travel and street photography. Mirrorless cameras also have an advantage when it comes to speed. Because there’s no mirror to flip up, Mirrorless cameras can take pictures much faster than DSLRs. And finally, Mirrorless cameras tend to have better video capabilities than DSLRs because they can use their electronic viewfinders to record footage without recording the sound of the mirror flipping up.
DSLR Cameras Cannot Shoot Silently, Unlike Mirrorless Cameras
DSLR cameras have long been the go-to choice for professional photographers, but Canon’s mirrorless cameras are quickly gaining ground. One of the main advantages of mirrorless cameras is that they shoot silently, while DSLR cameras can be quite noisy when taking pictures. This is a big advantage for candid shots or for situations where you don’t want to draw attention to yourself. Canon’s mirrorless cameras also offer other advantages, such as a smaller form factor and shorter shutter lag time. However, Canon’s DSLR cameras still have some advantages, such as a more extensive range of lenses and accessories. Overall, Canon’s mirrorless cameras are a great option for anyone looking for a high-quality camera that offers silent shooting and a compact form.
DSLRs Use Less Battery Power Than Mirrorless Cameras
Canon’s new line of mirrorless cameras has been getting a lot of buzzes lately, but Canon DSLR cameras are still the gold standard when it comes to battery life. Canon mirrorless cameras use more battery power than Canon DSLR cameras, which can be a problem when you’re out shooting all day. Canon DSLR cameras are also more efficient when it comes to battery usage, so you’ll get more shots per charge. Canon’s new line of mirrorless cameras is a great option for those who want the latest and greatest technology, but for those who want the best battery life, Canon DSLR cameras are still the way to go.
DSLR Cameras Have Advanced Autofocus Compared To Mirrorless Cameras
Canon is one of the most popular brands of DSLR cameras, and their products are in high demand among amateur and professional photographers alike. Canon DSLR cameras have advanced autofocus capabilities that allow users to quickly and easily take sharp photos. Canon mirrorless cameras, on the other hand, have a more basic autofocus system. While Canon mirrorless cameras are becoming more popular, Canon DSLR cameras are still seen as the superior option for those who want to take high-quality photos.
DSLRs Have A Larger Flange Distance Than Mirrorless Cameras
One drawback of mirrorless cameras is that they have a shorter flange distance than DSLRs. The flange distance is the distance between the lens mount and the sensor, and a shorter flange distance can make it difficult to use certain lenses. In addition, a shorter flange distance can also lead to issues with vignetting and image quality. As a result, DSLRs may still be the best choice for photographers who want the highest quality images.
Mirrorless SLRs are becoming more popular every day. Many people are wondering what the difference is between a mirrorless and DSLR camera. Here we have outlined the main differences between these two types of cameras. DSLRs have some clear advantages over mirrorless cameras, such as a more extensive range of lenses and accessories, better battery life, and advanced autofocus. However, mirrorless cameras have some advantages of their own, such as silent shooting and a compact form factor. | [

The U.S. State Department said on Tuesday it would delay action on any new export license requests by BAE Systems Plc
BAE pleaded guilty on March 1 to conspiring to make false statements in connection with foreign arms contracts and agreed to pay a $400 million fine to settle a long-standing inquiry into its business practices.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the department was studying the judgment entered in federal court in the District of Columbia and would not move forward on any export license approvals for now.
We are assessing the implications that the plea will have, Crowley told a news briefing. Though no final determinations have been reached, our analysis indicates that it would be inappropriate for us to make decisions on pending export applications at this time.
Crowley added that this meant applications for export will be delayed if those applications involve BAE Systems PLC or any of its subsidiaries.
The BAE settlement involves questionable payments it made to secure arms contracts in Saudi Arabia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and other countries.
The Justice Department said BAE had violated commitments it made to the U.S. government in 2000, when it was seeking to expand into the United States, to comply with the anti-bribery provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
The act makes it illegal to pay bribes to foreign officials in order to secure or retain business.
The $400 million fine is one of the biggest levied against a defense contractor, comparable with the $402 million that engineering and contracting group KBR Inc
BAE also agreed last month to pay $50 million to settle a parallel action by Britain's Serious Fraud Office.
Since the Justice Department launched its criminal investigation in 2005, BAE has replaced its chief executive and chairman and hired a new chief legal officer.

WARNING: Contains minor spoilers.
Those who know me will know that the Alien franchise is, hands-down, my favourite series of movies of all time. I am too young to have actually seen any of the “original” four at the cinema (when they were released, at least) but I have since seen Alien (the Director’s Cut) on the big screen, Prometheus and now Ridley Scott’s new release, Alien: Covenant. I don’t really count the AvP movies as part of the franchise, although I did go and see them when they were released.
It occurred to me as I was planning this review out, that I haven’t actually written any sort of review or retrospective on the other movies in the franchise, which I really must do – but first, a review of Covenant.
Is it set in a nunnery?
That was my first thought when I saw the subtitle, although I soon remembered that that is a convent and not a covenant, which made me feel like a bit of an arse. Not as much of an arse as I felt having paid for two IMAX tickets to see Alien: Covenant, though – and yes, that does mean that I didn’t think that much of the film.
Let’s start with the good bits, shall we?
Like Prometheus before it, Alien: Covenant is an absolutely beautiful movie. I saw both movies in IMAX (although Prometheus was in 3D also) and the larger screen really does the movie’s visuals justice.
Ridley Scott has obviously not lost his ability to direct a movie either, because the shots themselves are also very well done – from the “landscape” world-building shots of the planet featured in the film to the tight, close-up shots on the various spacecraft – everything is a veritable spectacle.
Two of the characters in the film are excellently portrayed, and it is no coincidence that both of those characters are played by the same actor, the always-worth-the-ticket-price Michael Fassbender. In Prometheus, he played David – a synthetic (sorry, artificial person) – one of only two survivors of the titular spaceship. In Covenant, David returns but Fassbender also plays Walter, an “upgraded” synthetic of the same lineage as the original David. They both have very different personalities and mannerisms, with Walter being empathetic and caring and David being the opposite, narcissistic and uncaring. Fassbender effortlessly deals with this “ambivalence” of character throughout the film.
The musical score is also great, and makes good use of Jerry Goldsmith’s original Alien Theme to get you feeling all nostalgic.
Err… that’s about it for the good bits.
I’ll get this first one out of the way quickly. I’ve grown very weary of science fiction films (well, films of any genre) that rely on nonsense or stupidity to allow the plot to move forward. Prometheus was a horrific offender in this regard – everyone on that spacecraft was a certifiable moron and had no business being on such a mission. A cartographer who uses mapping drones to create a map of the pyramid they visit, and then proceeds to get lost in said pyramid?
Covenant does not fare much better in this regard. The vast majority of the havoc wreaked upon the crew of the Covenant is as a direct result of their stupidity. In one particular instance, after the excrement has severely hit the fan, the Captain does something so outrageously, mind-bogglingly idiotic that I was taken completely out of the movie – my suspension of disbelief shot to pieces.
Apart from this, there are serious problems with the film’s dialogue. The vast majority is there purely to act as an exposition dump and little else – the characters even go so far as to tell you what has just happened even though you (and they) just saw it as clear as day.
As a consequence of this, there isn’t a great deal of character development. One of the elements of the story is that the crew of the Covenant consists of couples, on their way to another planet to start a colony. However, only three of the eight pairings are explicitly mentioned, so when a couple start snogging in a shower later in the film it comes out of nowhere and almost seems like it’s been put there to fulfil a horror movie trope.
The film is also off in its own little world, thematically speaking. It answers some questions posed by Prometheus, and creates more of its own. My issue with it (and Prometheus, really) is that, without the connection to the Alien movies, they would actually be better. The ending of Covenant is positively terrifying (in a good way | [

Harmony balances other design principles by bringing together individual components and creating a coherent whole, ensuring that all parts of the design fit and complement each other (Figure 19-26). Figure 19 - 22. This simple design does not overwhelm the small back yard. A dwarf Japanese maple, a bit of chartreuse cover, and a stone path leading to a bench make this space seem larger than it is while remaining comfortable. Figure 19 - 23. Different colors of heather, seen in both the foreground and the background, are rep- resented in this landscape. These repetitive groupings are not boring but lend rather unity to design. Figure 19-24. There are strong horizontal lines in this landscape with the stone wall, the colorful perennials and the wisteria arbor. These lines draw attention across the landscape.

For many homeowners, the concept of sustainable landscape is a yard that needs little water or maintenance to survive. A common image of such a yard usually includes a small lawn, some ornamental plants, a large natural area, and / or a quantity of rocks and gravel or other hard surfaces. Unfortunately this imaGege often gives the wrong impression to many homeowners that a durable yard must look like a desert, have big hard surfaces or look wild and unkempt.
Groundcovers and lawns act as unifying elements in a landscape. A unified landscape offers a pleasant view from every angle. A landscape with too many ideas in a small space lacks unity. Too many varieties of plants, accent plants, lawn accessories with shapes, textures or contrasting colors violate the unit principle by distracting the viewer from a theme visual coherence that unites the individual elements of the landscape. Perspective is our visual perception of three-dimensional space. Some techniques may look like a small space, while others may make a larger space appear.
Throughout my career, I have focused on the ethics and standards of excellence that my grandfather taught me... which essentially creates unrealistic expectations of other companies. Even so, Absolute Home and Garden / Xmas Lights and Ryan have met those expectations. I have direct evidence that this owner works 24 hours a day and is easilyavailable. He really cares about his reputation and the quality of his work / service. I highly recommend. Extremely professional and active. Ryan and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Last week at #APIStrat in Amsterdam, I had the pleasure of watching a keynote by Romain Huet (@romainhuet), Developer Advocate at Twitter, aptly titled “connecting to the pulse of the planet”. I’ve had the pleasure of watching Romain give this talk twice now, and he really delivers—you can watch the whole video on Youtube.
Romain used Twitter as a conduit for not just one, but two live Internet of things (Iot) demos. First he took a live selfie of him and the audience with a Raspberry Pi camera he had developed, and second he made a drone take off on stage using commands he sent via Twitter.
When talking to Romain earlier in Amsterdam, we were discussing APIs and Iot, and I said that Twitter seems to be a wonderful gateway for developers, when it came to connecting devices to the Internet. As an API driven messaging channel, developers just get Twitter and its APIs, so it makes sense we’d use this familiar channel for exploration communication in the Internet of things.
Twitter works well as a gateway API to Iot for developers because of its familiarity and ease of use, but it also immediately makes it social, allowing us to open up Iot communications to a trusted network, or even the public. While we don’t want every device in our lives immediately social, it works well for us to learn new thing, allowing us to learn using tools we are already familiar with, and have a network of established friends.
Like it or not, I think many Iot devices will come pre-configured to work with our common social networks, and as the Iot world matures, we will find more logical ways to communicate with these devices in our lives—realizing that not everything needs to social and on the web, but in the early days we’ll depend on these characteristics to understand how to make devices and sensors communicate.

IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT
T. PIERCE BROWN
I still remember something of the joy I experienced many years ago when I read 1 John 1:7 in the Greek text. It says, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” The thing that thrilled me was the awareness that “cleanseth” is from the Greek “katharizei” which is present, active, indicative. Translated literally, it might read, “keeps on constantly cleansing us from all sin.”
Since then I have read a few articles by those who claim to be preachers of the gospel who apparently think they have discovered in that verse something similar to “irresistible grace.” They write as if we can “continue in sin that grace may abound” because the blood of Christ keeps on cleansing. I emphatically deny that. I also want to point out two related dangers of which we need to be aware.
First, those who have a smattering of Greek may assume many things as a result of some little rule they think they have learned. It may be that the thing they think they have learned has some exceptions covered by another rule that they have not learned. What they are assuming to be true may be false, for it is one of those exceptions to the general rule. Second, even those who are Greek scholars and know far more about both the rules and exceptions than most of us will ever know, make some egregious errors, partly as a result of some preconceived theological assumptions.
Let us give two examples of the kind of care we need to exercise as we strive to understand and apply any passage of scripture. First, look at the passage in 1 John 1:7 to which we have alluded. It is a wonderful truth that the blood of Jesus continues to cleanse us from sin. An awareness of the difference in the aorist and present tenses can be a wonderful and thrilling doorway to deeper insights into God’s word. However, if one assumes that the constant cleansing is an automatic process, he has overlooked several points, one of which is the antecedent conditional clause, “if we walk in the light.” That is a present subjunctive, which basically means that as long as we keep on walking in the light, which involves a constant desire to do exactly what the Lord wants, having an attitude of penitent humility when we fail to do that, then we will be continuously cleansed. The reason we will be continuously cleansed, is because we are continuously penitent and submissive. Any time we deliberately sin and are not penitent, we are no longer walking in the light, and the promise of continuous cleansing is not ours.
The thing that brought me joy was the awareness that if I had done some unwitting or inadvertent sin and had not happened to mention it before I died, the blood of Jesus would still cleanse me, for I am penitent even about sins done in ignorance. Before I came to understand that passage, I think I had the feeling that if I died and had not prayed a specific prayer about every specific sin, I might not be forgiven of them. I never taught that, nor do I ever remember anyone else teaching it. However, I feel sure that thousands of Christians are in constant fear that maybe they have left something undone that needs doing, or have inadvertently done something that they should not and their souls are in jeopardy because of it.
This verse should remove that fear, but does not give a person the right to assume that God’s grace covers any sin, even if one is impenitent. There are hundreds of such verses where the tenses are significant and revealing. It is my judgment that in every case where a specific tense is used, or one specific word is used when another might seem as good or better, it is because God wants to emphasize some particular point which might be helpful for us to discover.
Another such passage is Ephesians 2:8 which says, “For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” Denominational preachers have misused it for years in trying to prove that salvation is by grace only, or faith only or some other false doctrine. In recent years, many who claim to be preachers of the gospel have fallen into the same error. However, in this article, I want to point out another error that might result from the knowledge that “have ye been saved” is a perfect passive participle. There are two errors that might come in assuming too many things. First, the passive voice indicates that someone else did the saving. It might be assumed that because it was Jesus who saved you, you could have nothing to do with the salvation, for it is totally by His power and grace. This does not follow | [

One of the great joys of traveling is encountering and trying new flavors, seasonings and cuisines. In the last week, I’ve eaten Bayenetu injera (veggies in sauces on a spongy pancake) at the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa and Svickova (marinated sirloin with dumplings and cream) in the Czech Republic.
However, at some point abroad, you’ll likely encounter the ubiquitous holy trinity of McDonald’s, Starbucks and KFC, and depending on the condition of your hunger and tolerance for local cuisine at that point, you’ll have to resist the urge of corporate vittles.
Last Friday, on my way to a quaint wedding in an eastern village in the Czech Republic, I had just such a chain food encounter. A Czech family was giving me and my friend a lift and they decided that being an American, I would naturally love to stop at a roadside KFC for lunch.
I haven’t eaten at KFC in probably 10-plus years. Their sodium-laden sides and greasy chicken just never sat well with me. Really, I’ve always been more of a Bojangles fan. Being their guest, though, I could hardly refuse, so KFC it was.
Inside (where signs prohibited both photos and dogs – Czech people bring their dogs almost everywhere), I was pleasantly surprised by the brightness, cleanliness and variety of the menu. It’s no secret that U.S. chains adapt their menus to appeal to their host countries, often incorporating exotic desserts, beers and seemingly unrelated food items like corn nuggets and pizza to accommodate foreign tastebuds.
There are 66 KFCs in the Czech Republic compared to 100 or so McDonald’s, but KFC's billboards and road signs are everywhere. Czech KFCs are operated by AmRest, a European restaurant operator with 700 restaurants (mostly KFCs and Pizza Huts) in Poland, Czech, Hungary, Russia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, among a few other countries.
This Czech KFC felt more like a Wendy’s – it had a lot of wraps, sandwiches, nuggets and a full-size corn-on-the-cob side I saw a lot of people getting. The big buckets of fried chicken received much less prominence on the menu, relegated to the right-hand wall.
I ordered the Classic Twister (a fried chicken wrap) and it was plenty decent with lettuce, tomato, hunks of hot fried chicken and mayonnaise.
I had to pay the equivalent of 50 cents for a 1 oz squirt packet of ketchup to accompany my fries, which is always a sure tell sign that you’re an American (but who can eat fries without ketchup?). Europeans are mostly condiment averse unless you’re in Belgium or France, where they’ll gladly squirt thyme-mayonnaise all over your fries.
While in Prague, I lamented to my Turkish friend Sergul that it was depressing to see young teenagers eating Burger King when they’re surrounded by so many food options. Sergul said that to the contrary, U.S. chains have a different, less greasy reputation abroad, often serving upper and middle class families with diverse tastes.
She said her rich friends often held their birthday parties at McDonald’s because they were nicer spaces and more kid friendly than other places in Istanbul.
And even I must admit it is comforting to have these quick-service establishments to fall back on in moments of gastronomic frailty. Even now, locals get excited when they hear about a new Steak ‘N Shake or Tijuana Flats (both in Pooler) opening up. Reporter Dash Coleman's article on a Buffalo Wild Wings coming to Southside generated more than 300 likes on Facebook.
Forget soft power, dietary diplomacy has always been America's best tool of persuasion and marketing. Winning over hearts and minds can be much easier when you’ve already won over their stomachs.
Predictable and bland at times? Sure. But also comforting and consistent. Sometimes that all a hungry traveler needs. | [

Teachers and children of PCF sparkletots preschool decided to embark on a mission to show kindness and appreciation to family members and people around the community.
On 25th July 2018, the teachers and children headed over to Bukit Panjang interchange to spread kindness and words of encouragement to community workers such as the Bus Captain, the toilet cleaners and the security officer who was guarding the Hillion Mall.
The children handed out small tokens of appreciation to the Bus Captains in their lounge. The children then went around the interchange to hand out notes and door hangers with positive words of encouragement and reminders to be kind to everyone written and decorated personally by them.
The children gave out the notes and door hangers with smiles and verbalize positive greetings to random commuters. The children enjoyed their day at the interchange very much as they observed and experienced firsthand how little kind gestures can put a smile on another person’s face and instantly brighten up their day! | [

NonViolent Communication is about understanding feelings, knowing needs and making a request. Two days with Reena were satisfying and reflecting to understand self and needs.
A session with kids – We used videos as tools to identify needs, feelings and solving problems. Self-Empathy dance floor gave us another perspective in problem-solving. The self-empathy floor gave another tool to communicate.This is now our common vocabulary – What is the need? My need is to feel ….safe, supported, relaxed, independent, heard and so on…Express your need…My need is…My request to you…My request to myself…I request to the community…I am feeling unheard…
Our vocabulary enhanced from I am feeling bored or I am feeling frustrated to I am feeling unheard and I am feeling unsupported.
A session with parents brought clarity of our own needs and feelings to be able to empathize with ourselves. Feelings are unmet needs. Feeling of fear may be due to unmet need for safety, clarity, sense of security or lack of comfort. Needs are fundamentals, all we do or not do to are to meet some needs. Needs like…comfort, acknowledge, love, balance, equality, compassion, to be heard, companionship, trust, safe, ease, cooperation they are infinite. Sometimes our own communication alienates us from ourselves.
A parent is often motivated by concerns and fears for the child’s well-being and at times in awe of the child’s innocence and divinity! We function as family systems where power is shared at times out of good intentions, parents operate from a power over space which diminishes a child’s self-esteem. Inspirational parenting is about Power-with parenting. Listening to what the child is saying Yes to when s/he is saying No… How can we transform the pain of unmet needs so as to steer clear of the perils on instant gratification? Are we listening to each other from empathy or a ‘fix it’ or a ‘deal with it’ attitude? We explored the skills of Deep Listening, Unconditional Love, Authentic Communication and more. An interactive workshop with Reena was a new beginning – from problem-solving to tapping into the potential. From manipulation to co-creation – From dependence to collaboration – From stuckness to liberation or a free flow – From mourning to celebration. Vision and work do visit www.kabirsaamagri.org | [

Trump comments on allegations of 'Russian connection'
Russian President Donald Trump said that Russian connection is an attempt to cover-up Hillary Clinton's mistakes.
"This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign," Trump posted on his Twitter page.
Earlier, US officials told the New York Times that members of Trump’s presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election.
The Russian Foreign Ministry denied there had been any inappropriate contact between Trump representatives and Russian state. | [

Outdoor Kitchen Cabinets
Modern Outdoor Kitchen with Stone Accents
This outdoor kitchen and barbecue area was designed around the natural landscape that surrounds this Palm Springs home. Stone flooring and wall accents along with a copper range hood add a luxurious feel to the space. Stainless steel appliances are hard-working and add a nice contrast to the natural landscape of the environment.
Outdoor kitchens can be the grill master's best friend. With a built-in grill, ample countertop surface, add-ons like refrigeration and a sink, and bar-seating for friends—he (or she) may never set foot indoors again.
Shop This Look
But it's important to plan your dream outdoor kitchen with the weather—and your climate—in mind. While it might be a no-brainer that grills and other appliances be stainless steel, or outdoor kitchen countertops be stone or concrete, finding the perfect material for outdoor kitchen cabinets is not as intuitive.
Of course, you'll need a material that's weather-proof and termite-proof (and non-combustible if close to sources of heat), but you'll also want to look for materials that are high-quality and durable, even if they are protected by a deck, umbrella or pergola.
Ideal outdoor kitchen cabinet materials include stainless steel, marine-grade polymer and teak—all materials that can stand up to the elements.

Popular pear trees such as the Bartlett and Bosc are often grown in the home garden for their delicious flavor. Their stunning, spring-blooming flowers emerge in profusion in early spring and are followed by the fruit. Grown for their fruit crop, they also make an attractive ornamental specimen tree. Maintain a regular pruning plan to ensure the tree does not become overgrown and to keep the plant looking tidy.
Pear trees tolerate a wide range of soil varieties but do not tolerate poorly drained soil. They require full sunlight and sandy soils to thrive. Plant the pear tree in early spring and before new growth begins to ensure a successful establishment.
Prune the pear tree in later winter, before new growth begins. Begin pruning the young tree to control its form and develop well-balanced and strong branches. Thin out pear trees in summer and remove all suckers that grow from the base of the tree.
Fertilize young pear trees with a balanced garden fertilizer such as 10-10-10. Every spring, apply the fertilizer in a 2-foot circle around each tree to prevent fertilizer burn. If you suspect a blight problem, use little to no fertilizer until the problem is resolved. | [

Recipe by Fabio
Sancocho is the staple food of my home state of Antioquia in Colombia. As with everything in this world, there are many varieties of sancocho not only within Colombia, but also throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. This recipe is my favorite because it utilizes four different types of meat whose flavors mix in an incredible taste sensation. Sancocho must be prepared in stages due to the cooking time differential of the various ingredients so give yourself three or four hours and be patient. The results are definitely worth the wait. By the way, I have not found a way of making just a small amount of sancocho so be prepared for lots of yummy leftovers unless, like my grandma did, you invite the entire family over for Sunday lunch.
Top Review by dyingbreed122112
I tried the recipe with a few variations. I used chicken and beef stock. It came out FANTASTIC. This was my first go at making Sancocho and we all loved it and I will be making it again... THANKS!!!<br/><br/> I have had it made by a few different Spanish ladies. 2 from the Dominican Republic and 1 from Puerto Rico and they were all awesome.
- 1 gallon water
- 1 lb beef (I use beef short ribs but any kind of roast will do cut into large chunks.)
- 1 lb pork (I use part of a shoulder roast cut into large chunks.)
- 4 chorizo sausage, links (cut the links into 1 inch slices)
- 4 chicken drumsticks (I use these bone-in and mostly for flavor)
- 24 small new potatoes (If not available, 4 large yellow potatoes cut into chunks.)
- 2 carrots (shredded)
- 4 plantains (Green, peeled and cut into 2 inch round chunks)
- 2 plantains (Ripe, scrubbed and washed, cut into 2 inch slices, do not peel, cook with the peel on.)
- 3 ears corn (Shucked and cut into 2 inch round chunks)
- 1 lb cassava (Yuca, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks.)
- 4 green onions (whole)
- 1⁄2 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1⁄2 bunch fresh parsley (this is optional, I personally don't care for parsley. Use as you would the cilantro) (optional)
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon goya seasoning (Sazon Goya with cilantro and achiote for extra flavor and color) (optional)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Directions See How It's Made
- 1) Pour water into a large pot and add all the meat (beef, pork, chicken and chorizo), the oil, the green onions, cumin, cilantro, parsley (if using), salt and pepper and the Goya seasoning. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium-low stir thoroughly, and cook, covered, for 45 minutes.
- 2) Add the corn and plantain. Bring to a boil, cover and lower to medium-low heat. Cook for another 30 minutes.
- 3) Add the potatoes and the shredded carrots. Bring to a boil, check the flavor and correct seasonings, cover and cook for another 30 minutes over medium-low heat.
- 4) Finally, add the yuca and bring to a boil once more. Cover and cook for 15 or 20 minutes more or until the yuca is tender.
- 5) Remove the cilantro green onions and parsley, if you are using it, serve. (Good hint: Digging for the cilantro, green onions and parsley can be a pain. So, I use a small mesh bag, place the green onions and cilantro inside it, tie it and drop it into the water. That way, all I need to do is remove the little bag instead of having to dig.). | [

Risks of radiation exposure range from nuclear energy accidents to potential terrorism and workplace industrial hazards. Biodosimetry methods are required to aid in the recovery from a potential mass exposure to radiation by determining absorbed dose, assigning triage, and determining useful countermeasures. Much effort has been put into utilizing metabolomics as a way to quantitatively measure markers from radiation exposure from easily accessible biofluids such as urine, serum, and saliva among others. Lipidomics can be considered a branch of metabolomics that aims to catalogue changes in lipid species during injury, disease states, exposure to xenobiotic compounds, or changes in nutritional status.
A well-established effect of radiation exposure is the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) capable of hydrogen abstraction from biomolecules, such as lipids and proteins, thus causing damage. In addition to radiation induced ROS, cellular responses to radiation are known to include proinflammatory-like signaling with ROS further generation. Due to the high reactivity of lipids to ROS damage, they may be useful in determining absorbed radiation dose for biodosimetry and determining delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE).
Patients exposed to ionizing radiation through cancer therapy showed significant changes in circulating free fatty acid levels, as well as various phosphatidylglycerols, phosphatidylcholines, monoacylglycerols, and triacylglycerols, only hours after exposure.

Purse seines are used in the open ocean to target dense schools of single-species pelagic (midwater) fish like tuna and mackerel.
Purse-seine fishing in open water is generally considered to be an efficient form of fishing. It has no contact with the seabed and can have low levels of bycatch (accidental catch of unwanted species).
MSC certified fisheries using purse seines must ensure that they leave enough fish in the ocean to reproduce. This can be achieved by targeting schools of adult fish and using a mesh size large enough to allow smaller fish to swim free.
Purse seines can also be used to catch fish congregating around fish aggregating devices (FADs). This fishing method can result in higher levels of bycatch, making it harder for these fisheries to achieve MSC certification.

Pelagic trawls are cone-shaped nets that are towed along behind one or two boats. They are designed to target fish in the mid and surface water. | [

So last week Saturday I had an exciting opportunity to have my hair styled at Urban Zulu Natural Beauty Salon! I was beyond excited to finally have the chance to check out their salon, which is one of the only few natural hair salons I know of. What is also great is that they stock locally-made natural hair products like AfroBotanics and AfroAmour!
It was easy to find the hair salon but I was not able to find parking on the street so I just parked my car at Carlton Centre, which is right opposite the hair salon. The parking ticket at Carlton Centre is only R10 which is not too bad. As soon as I crossed the street it was easy to spot the hair salon. The Urban Zulu name is written in big black and white letters – you can’t miss it.
When I walked in I was greeted by Dumisani, who was going to do my hair. He then asked me to sit down by one of the chairs, where he will be doing my hair and then put my bag safely away before we went to the washing station.
He used shampoo and conditioner to give my locs a nice and good clean. I forgot to ask him what brand he used. He made sure to massage my scalp properly and rinse off any product left in my hair.
After he was done, he wrapped my hair in a super absorbent black towel. As soon as he took off the towel he tied my hair into two ponytails and then proceeded to use the Jabu Stone beeswax to twist my hair. What I really liked is that he didn’t even use a hairdryer to dry my hair…the towel managed to suck out any extra water and my locs were left damp. I was really glad about this because most salons (due to time pressure) use a hairdryer on my locs and I am not so fond of that.
The twisting process was very quick! And while twisting my hair he gave me great advice on how to take care of my locs better and I really learnt a lot from him. The main thing was that simplicity is key! We don’t need to put all these extra products on our locs since they end up causing product build-up in the long run. You can’t go wrong with just water and good natural oils.
Once he was done twisting almost all my locs, he then left the front row of my locs untwisted and did not use any product; and boy was I glad about that! I hate it when a hairstylist piles on a lot of beeswax on the front edges to get that slick look! All he used was plain water and just plaited the front locs back to get a slick and neat look. With no grease at all!
He then proceeded to work his magic and created an updo with a twist!
I absolutely loooove my hairstyle!!
All in all, it was a great and pain-free experience! I will definitely go back! Especially seeing that I want to colour my locs blonde this year and I trust that they will do it well.
An added bonus is the clothing store which is located right next door to the beauty salon —Urban Zulu Clothing! (the hair salon and the clothing store are literally separated by a glass sliding door but each one has it’s own entrances at the front). Of course I had to go check out a few things. I wasn’t planning to buy anything but I couldn’t take my eyes off this cute peplum top I spotted, so I had to purchase it!
Thank you again to Urban Zulu Natural Beauty Salon for my beautiful hairstyle and the fab service. Also a big shout out to Nokwanda for taking all pictures of me at the salon!

This week we take a look at some of the works which emerged from the honours architecture studio entitled Flaneur, Space, Time run by Adam Lee Casey at the University of Cape Town last year. These inspiring and thought provoking works have been compiled into a book which is both graphically inspiring as well as thought provoking.
Follow the links for further information of each project as well as an online perusal of the book itself.
We asked each student contributor to sum up their project starting with the line ‘Imagine if Harrington Square…’, accompanied by a graphic that best sums up their buildings, this is what they had to say :
Imagine if Harrington Square attempted to redefine the city by disintegrating the boundaries between natural landscape and built form, leaching the mountain through the city and re-establishing a connection between mountain and sea creating a unique space that weaves people, nature and crafts to create a whole. A place that begins to blur the lines between public threshold, leisure and education and the city and our natural environment that could manifest into an alternative community hub for youth to provide a sustainable creative space for them to enjoy. The Link, Youth Centre is centred on nature and the education and creation of basic creative skills based on the ideas of the Scout movement, as it is an existing successful system of alternative education for the youth as a way of structuring my programme.
Imagine if Harrington Square and its surrounds embodied the social and cultural vigour of its former self? Cultural identity is not synchronized. It is not premeditated. It is not stagnant. By designing a thoroughly dynamic Cultural Development Lab within the city’s proclaimed creative epicentre, this juncture – steeped in history and invested in program that transcends the notions of age, class, and ethnic stratification – aims to encourage discourse around South African diversity. The wilful sculptural quality acts as both metaphors for exposing former affiliations as it is to suggest a departure from urban monotony. | [

In a forensic twist on astronomy, scientists turned sleuths are trying to track down the stellar victim of a supernova explosion that occurred last year.
An exploded star was discovered on May 31, 2011, in the famous nearby Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), which lies about 23 million light-years from our own Milky Way. Supernovas are thought to occur when massive stars reach the end of their lives, running out of fuel to power their inner furnaces and collapsing in on themselves to form dense neutron stars or black holes.

Is it best to pay rent monthly or weekly?
Why charging rent monthly is more common and preferred Keeping track of weekly rent creates a lot more work, and can get very messy and tedious i.e. it’s easy to lose track. It’s much more effortless to check if a tenant has paid once per month.
How do you calculate weekly rent to monthly?
To calculate your monthly rent repayment, use this simple formula to convert weekly rent into the monthly rent payment.
- Step 1: Weekly Rent ÷ 7 = Daily Rent amount.
- Step 2: Daily Rent x 365 = Yearly Rent amount.
- Step 3: Yearly Rent ÷ 12 = Monthly rent amount.
How do you calculate weekly rent?
The weekly rental amount is divided by 7 to determine the daily rental rate, then multiplied by 365 (days per year) to determine the yearly rate and finally divided by 12 to determine the monthly rental amount. For example, a property is advertised as $200 per week, ($200 divided by 7) is $28.57 for the daily rate.
How do I calculate my 6 week free rent?
If the special is based on a number of weeks, such as “6 weeks free,” you’ll use four easy steps: 1) First, multiply the market rent by the number of months in the lease term. 2) Then, divide that number by the number of weeks in the lease term.
How do I calculate weekly rent?
How do you calculate weekly pay?
Just divide the annual amount by the number of periods each year. If you are paid hourly, multiply that rate by 40 hours to determine your weekly pay.
How much rent should I pay?
In simple terms, the 30% rule recommends that your monthly rent payment not be more than 30% of your gross monthly income. To calculate how much you should spend on rent, you’d simply multiply your gross income by 30%.
How is daily rent calculated?
It works like this: take the monthly rent and multiple it by 12 to find the total yearly rent. Then divide the sum by 365 to determine the daily rent. Once you find the daily rent, you multiply it by the number of days the tenant will occupy the unit.
How is weekly rent free calculated?
What does it mean weekly pay?
For weekly pay, you get a paycheck on the same day every week, such as every Friday. You would get 52 smaller paychecks per year. For monthly pay, employers usually distribute pay on the 1st of every month, meaning you would get 12 larger paychecks per year.
Should you pay parents rent?
If you and your parent agree they should pay rent, talk about a fair price. You shouldn’t charge more than what it would cost for them to receive professional care. Home care and independent living costs are the least expensive options for seniors and can range from $2-3k on average.
Do I have to pay rent 4 times a week?
You only want to pay rent 4-weekly if you are paid weekly or 4-weekly. Paying rent 4-weekly if you are paid monthly will end up sooner or later in you having to find two rent payments out of one pay packet. Although you will be paid again quite soon after the second rent goes out, if you cut your finances fine you could go overdrawn.
How much does it cost to pay rent per month?
Based on $200 /week the result is $800/month and $9,600 per year. This calculation is obviously flawed and cannot be relied on. At the most simple level your monthly rent may be calculated in the following way: If a tenant makes 12 payments of $866.67 the total rent is $10 400. This is the same as 52 payments of $200.
How do you calculate 4 weeks of rent per month?
4 weeks = 13 payments per year. Monthly = 12 payments per year. With four-weekly payments, there is an extra day in the year (two in leap years) that should be taken account of by using the right calculation. (So, not 12xmonthly rent/13, but ((12xmontly rent)/365.25*28.)
Why did YY pay to 4 weekly pay?
Y pay to 4 weekly pay despite protestations from teachers and unions. They wanted all council employees to be paid at the same time. We have recently become aware that our pay over the tax year has been short of our annual pay, in my case by £131.03. Checking the payslips it appeared that my annual pay was not divided by 13 to give my gross pay. | [

Piedmont Nat. Gas Reports Results for Fiscal Year 2013
Piedmont Natural Gas announced results for its fiscal year ended Oct. 31. For the year, the Company reported net income of $134.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.78 compared with net income of $119.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.66 for 2012.
Commenting on the Company's fiscal year 2013 results, Piedmont Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas E. Skains said, "We are pleased with our solid financial and operating performance in 2013. We executed a record $672 million capital expansion program in 2013 in support of customer growth, power generation delivery projects, system integrity programs and joint venture opportunities. We completed our large Sutton Pipeline project providing natural gas delivery service to a new state-of-the-art gas-fired power generation facility near Wilmington, North Carolina, enhanced the safety, security and reliability of our pipeline systems, and added 14,274 new customers in our three-state service area, up 7.5 percent from our customer additions in 2012. In 2013, we also continued to improve our business processes, enhance our customer service, and implement sustainable business practices, all of which will serve us well in the years ahead."
System throughput in 2013 totaled 387.6 million dekatherms, compared with 324.3 million dekatherms in 2012. The increase was largely due to a 26 percent increase in volumes delivered to power generation customers, coupled with a 22 percent increase in volumes delivered to weather sensitive residential, commercial and industrial customers. Overall, weather during 2013 was 2 percent colder than normal and 25 percent colder than 2012.
Utility margin increased $46 million from the prior year primarily due to increased transportation services from new contracts for power generation customers, customer growth and higher volumes from residential, commercial and industrial customers due to colder weather. Operations and maintenance expenses increased $10.5 million from the previous year primarily due to higher costs incurred for contract labor related to process improvement and pipeline integrity programs, payroll, bad debt expense and regulatory amortizations, partially offset by a decrease in employee benefits costs.
Utility interest charges were $24.9 million in 2013 compared to $20.1 million in 2012. The increase in interest charges was due to increases in long-term debt, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest income and lower balances of short-term debt at lower interest rates.
Pre-tax income from equity method investments was $26.1 million in 2013 compared with $23.9 million in 2012. The increase was primarily due to the first year of the Company's investment activity in the Constitution Pipeline project and colder weather and new markets served by the Company's SouthStar Energy joint venture.

Discussion in 'The Professional Gallery' started by huynh87, Jan 6, 2009.
Well, first of all, the most important thing to fix in these shots is the tilt. Particularly in water scenes like these the horizon should almost always be level (I can't think of a time with water that it shouldn't but... there may be one)
In the first (in the future it's beneficial to number the photos), I think the little bit that comes in on the left is a bit distracting. Other than that I like the exposure (a bigger photo would be nice to use for critique though). The blue of the sky is nice.
2. I like the clouds... biggest thing again is to fix the horizon.
3. here I like the rock formations, and the quickly flowing water, but the sky is a bit disappointing because of how boring it is. Also, again the horizon ruins the photo
Question: Who are these pictures for? I ask because this is the Professional Gallery, and presumably the pictures posted here are for clients. Not saying that anyone can't post here, just the norm seems to be that the pictures posted on this forum are for customers.
That being said, if I were critiquing these as if they are for a client, I would assume someone commissioned you to take pictures of a particular beach, or perhaps they are documentary style for a magazine/newspaper, or even stock photography?
If either of those is true, these are good pics. The horizons are a bit off in some, but for the most part they seem to be good beach shots... fixing the horizons should be easy enough.
Be wary of your horizon line though. For more artistic/interesting shots, try lining the horizon at the rule of thirds line.

A slot is a slit, or narrow opening, that allows something to pass through, such as a coin or letter. In a computer, it is also an address or location that can be used to store data, such as a file or program. A slot can also refer to a position on the track or trail of an animal.
A slot may also refer to the number of paylines on a game, and is often printed in large print near the bottom of the screen. This is important information to know if you want to maximize your chances of winning. A slot with more paylines increases your chances of hitting a winning combination. It is also possible to find information on bonus features in the pay table, although not every slot machine has them.
Slots are tall machines that use spinning reels to display symbols and determine whether you win or lose. They can be played with cash or, in “ticket-in, ticket-out” machines, paper tickets with barcodes that are scanned. The symbols vary between different machines but classics include fruit, bells, and stylized lucky sevens. Modern slots are more complicated and use a random number generator to produce symbols in a random order.
The term slot is also commonly used to describe a portion of an aircraft’s flight schedule, or the time it is allowed to take off and land at busy airports. Airlines must request slots in advance and can be granted or denied based on weather, maintenance, and traffic conditions.
There are many different types of online slot games, each with its own unique theme and style. Some even allow players to choose their own avatar to appear in the game! However, the overall principle is the same: the more matching symbols you land in a row, the higher the payout. This is why it is crucial to read the paytable before you begin playing any slot game.
You can learn a lot about slot games by reading reviews or asking fellow players. This will help you find a game that you enjoy, and which will meet your gaming needs. You can also try out free slots online to get a feel for the mechanics of the game before you deposit any money.
Slots do not require the same level of strategy as other casino games, but it is important to have a plan in place before you start playing. Decide how much you are willing to spend and stick to it. Avoid chasing losses, as this will only make you more frustrated and increase your risk of going broke. It is also a good idea to play for small amounts at a time, as this will reduce the chance of losing more than you can afford to lose. By following these simple tips, you can enjoy the thrill of playing slots without worrying about making big losses. | [

Alwilayat Mohamed, 23, has already lost two daughters under the age of five and is facing a daunting struggle to feed her two sons, aged five years and nine months.
She comes from a small village called Tin Akoff in the Sahel region of northern Burkina Faso, where people are predominantly farmers. Surviving in the parching heat is no easy feat in a year when the rainy season is good. But, the last rainy season was significantly worse than normal.
As a result most crops failed, there is little pasture for animals to graze on this year and the price of food in the local markets has risen dramatically. A bag of millet, which is the most resilient of local crops and the staple diet of people in the region, has recently more than doubled in Alwilyat’s local market.
A struggle to feed the children
“My husband went to the Ivory Coast to look for work at the end of the rainy season, last October,” says Alwilayat. “But he hasn’t sent any money back yet. I’m now living with my parents. We’re a big family and we have no stocks of cereal left. My father has had to sell some of his lambs to feed us.”
For farmers in the Sahel region, selling large numbers of their animals is a last resort and depletes their resources. Many families will not have enough to keep them going till the next harvest, especially because the increased number of people who are on the brink and having to sell their animals has brought down the market value of livestock.
Alwilayat has received a second round of food vouchers from the Burkinabe Red Cross and with these she can buy food from local traders, including millet, rice, sugar, salt and oil.
“When the harvest is good we have enough millet to feed ourselves till the arrival of the rainy season in June or July. Then we can eat three times a day and also have sorghum, rice, haricots, sometimes fish and meat,” says Alwilayat. “But now we just have millet, which we eat twice a day. The Red Cross’ support is very important for us because without it we would have to sell more cattle. The vouchers help us avoid that for a little while.”
The fact that so many people are already struggling to get enough to eat, so many months before the next harvest begins in June, is extremely worrying as their access to food will only deteriorate over the coming months.
The Red Cross urgently needs funds to avoid a major food crisis. | [

The security pin lock helps provide security and peace of mind by preventing a gate opener arm from being removed or stolen and allowing unwanted access to the property. The pin lock substitutes for the clevis pin at the front end mount of all models of MIGHTY MULE swing gate openers and it does not allow the clevis pin to be removed from the gate without a key to the lock.
Simply drive past the vehicle sensor and your gate will open automatically. Allowing friends, family and delivery personnel to exit the property without the need of their own transmitter or your supervision. The vehicle sensor is designed to be buried alongside the driveway and wires to your gate opener control on board with 50 ft (15.2 m) of direct burial cable (included). People and animals will not activate the electromagnetic sensor. Its detection radius is up to 12 ft (3.7 m).
The automatic gate lock secures the leading edge of single or dual gates in the closed position. Use with MIGHTY MULE system for maximum stability and security. It unlocks and locks automatically as gates open and close. Highly recommended for gates over 8 ft (2.4 m) long or in high wind areas. Comes with a keyed manual release for emergencies.
The wireless driveway alarm alerts you when a vehicle enters or exits your property. When a vehicle passes the sensor, the indoor receiver emits a chime. It has a wireless range of 400 ft (121.9 m) and will not be activated by people, animals or wind. The indoor receiver can be mounted on a table or on the wall. Multiple indoor receivers (up to 3) can be added for more convenience. Detects moving vehicles and not a motion sensor. | [

A stunning new natural history series focused on the East Australian Current (EAC) provides unique insights into life on our Great Barrier Reef, and how microscopic ocean plants, currents and rainforest in Far North Queensland are intimately connected.
The new three-part series called Australia’s Ocean Odyssey (ABC + ABC iview, Tues 9 June, 8.30pm), joins the current at our Reef, showcasing the interconnectedness of species and habitats with stunning footage and scientific insight. The series will follow the current all the way to the Antarctic.
The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) said the programs illustrated how important healthy oceans are to all life on Earth.
“The series is a feast for the eyes. The first episode shows how upwellings of microscopic plants pushed by the EAC influences the food chain on our Reef and even the weather that has shaped the ancient tropical rainforest in Daintree,” said AMCS CEO Darren Kindleysides.
“It illustrates the importance of maintaining and nurturing this careful balance. At the AMCS, we have long campaigned for action on the issues that are unbalancing our oceans, including global warming which is heating our oceans and bleaching our Reef. We are also working to combat overfishing to ensure food webs are not thrown out of sync with catastrophic consequences.
“The opening episode illustrates the issue of heating in our oceans using the example of green sea turtles. Higher air temperatures are resulting in more female turtles being born which will have serious consequences for their population.
“I would urge anyone with a love for our oceans to watch Australia’s Ocean Odyssey to better understand the delicate forces at play, and why it is so important to look after these incredible marine environments.”
Australia’s Ocean Odyssey airs Tuesday 9 June, 8.30pm on ABC + ABC iview

An Agriculturist in Rivers state, Emmanuel Ogbonda is calling on the state government to take on its responsibility by reviving Songhai farm in Tai, School to Land in Obio/Akpor local government areas in order to boost food production across the state.
Ogbonda who is the Supervising Agric Trade Group, Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce, maintained that if the cassava processing plant and other government acquired farm lands is immediately put into use as the farming season sets in, it will greatly help curb hunger and food shortage experienced presently.
He urged the state government to employ the right people with the interest to run, improve and revive the Agric sector, as Agriculture remains the only source to boost the state and nation’s GDP if given adequate attention.
Ogbonda also called on government at all levels to redefine agriculture. He said this can be achieved by allocating huge budgets to the Agric sector. ” the sector is dwindling due to lack of appropriate funding to the real farmers”. | [

The keyfob battery on my 2007 Ceed is going so I checked out here which has been very useful, so thanks. To double check the battery type, I opened the case, first leaving a drop of WD40 on the screw, then opened carefully. I took out the old battery, a CR1620, and refitted as have no spare at the moment. Then I tried it back on the car tomake sure that removing a battery didn't upset the eletronics, and all worked fine.
I have now ordered a new Duracell CR1620 from Amazon at £0.95, so when that arrives will change out the old one and expect all to be good again. Will report back. | [

Hillary Clinton has been a significant figure on the American political stage for a considerable time period, serving as the first lady of Arkansas, senator from New York, first lady of the United States and Secretary of State, but also as a lawyer and law professor, volunteer and activist. This article offers a synopsis of Clinton's political career, from her political beginnings in the 1960s, till the present day, following the 2016 US presidential elections.
For the purpose of this article, the political career of Hillary Clinton will be divided into four main parts.
Hillary Clinton started out as a young Republican, active in the campaign of the Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater in 1964. As a student at Wellesley College majoring in political science, she supported the elections of moderate Republican candidates John Lindsey and Edward Brooke to Mayor of New York and the United States Senate respectively. Motivated by a speech given in Chicago by the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., she was inspired to work in public service and became a Democrat in 1968. She was instrumental in preventing Wellesley from becoming entangled in student disruptions after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and petitioned for recruitment of more black students and faculty members at her college. Already at that time, she was regarded by fellow students as someone with a bright political career ahead of her, with a possibility of becoming the first female president of the United States.
In the following years, Clinton was a student of Yale Law School, volunteered at New Haven Legal Services providing free legal advice for the poor, advocated for civil rights of migrant workers, and interned at a law firm known for its support of civil liberties and constitutional rights. She was active in numerous advocacy projects in the State of Arkansas, such as the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee, and the Arkansas Children's Hospital. She was already publicly acknowledged to be an outstanding lawyer, with a bright political future ahead of her.
After her husband Bill Clinton was elected as Governor of Arkansas, she became the first lady of Arkansas in January 1979, subsequently holding that title for twelve nonconsecutive years. During this period, she continued to practice law and was twice named one of the 100 most influential lawyers in the USA by the National Law Journal, in 1988 and 1991. After Bill Clinton was elected president of the United States in 1992, Hillary Clinton became the First Lady. She had an active political role during her husband's presidency. Clinton was asked to chair the Task Force on National Health Care Reform and advocated for the proposal that would oblige employers to provide health coverage to all employees through individual health maintenance organizations. This was known as the Clinton health care plan. Beyond the expansion of health insurance coverage, she promoted nationwide immunization against childhood diseases and raised public awareness of various health issues, such as breast cancer screening and childhood asthma. She sought to increase funding for prostate cancer research and was instrumental in encouraging investigation of an illness later known as the Gulf war syndrome.
In November 2000 Clinton was elected as a US Senator in the State of New York, becoming the first woman to have won elected office while or after being the first lady. Her political views changed somewhat during her tenure as US Senator, she voted in support of American engagement in the Iraq war in 2002 but was later in favor of gradual troop withdrawal. She was willing to work with Republicans on various issues and had an open dialog even with her husband's political adversaries.
Clinton was shown to be outstanding in her political and legislative endeavors, acquiring more and more attention and support. A potential candidacy for US President has been on Clinton's mind for some time, and in 2008 she set out to be the first woman nominated by a major political party for presidential elections and the first ever First Lady to run for president. After having lost the Democratic presidential nomination to Obama, she was offered the position of Secretary of State, which she accepted after resigning from the Senate. This marked the beginning of a new phase in Clinton's political career.
One of the major events that occurred during her tenure as Secretary of State, which had a profound impact on her later political career, was the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya. The attack happened on September 11th, 2012, resulting in deaths of the ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, and another embassy official. Clinton's potential role in this tragic event became a matter of public scrutiny. Questions were raised as to her failure to realize the danger of trying to open a permanent consulate in Benghazi at that time, and her ignorance of the actual circumstances into which she sent ambassador Stevens. Whether Clinton was actually accountable in this matter or was she accused of it for political reasons is debatable. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the event happened during her mandate as Secretary of State, putting a certain degree of formal responsibility on her.
The following year, Clinton resigned her position as Secretary of State, having been resolved to serve only one term at this post. | [

Sri Lankan cuisine is spicy and varied.
A huge variety of dishes, introduced and influenced over the centuries by travelers, invaders and colonists, bring a sophistication of flavours to the table in a rich diversity of cooking styles and techniques. Sri Lankan banquets are incredibly colourful, with curries that range from yellow to deep brown, the vibrant greens of the vegetables, and the bright colours of sambol.
The central feature of Sri Lankan cuisine is boiled or steamed rice, served with a curry of fish, chicken or mutton, along with other curries made with vegetables, lentils, or fruits. Dishes are accompanied by pickled fruits or vegetables, chutneys, and sambols. Coconut sambol is especially common, a paste of ground coconut mixed with chili peppers, dried Maldive fish, and lime juice.
Regional variations are common and different ethnic and religious groups prepare dishes according to their own heritage, but coconut milk and Sri Lanka’s renowned spices are characteristic of all the island’s cuisine.
The original aboriginal hunter gatherers, the Vedda who lived in caves in Horton Plains from approx. 15,000 BC, burnt trees in order to catch game. The discovery of oats and barley also suggest that the community may have used the land for agricultural purposes. Their diet included deer, wild boar and reptiles as confirmed by the discovery of these bones at various sites. The meat was probably roasted over open fires. With the sea nearby, the inhabitants would have also eaten plenty of fish.
A rich and fertile legacy
The Sinhalese migrated to Sri Lanka probably from north India around 5000 BC and settled alongside rivers and records indicate that they enjoyed a similar diet. Excavations reveal the cultivation of wet rice was common. The Sinhalese constructed an elaborate irrigation system for times of drought and by 900 BC the use of iron and advanced forms of farming and livestock breeding were being followed. Cinnamon, which is native to Sri Lanka, was in use in Ancient Egypt in about 1500 BC, suggesting that there were trading links with the island at that time.
The island’s location made it a popular stop-off point for foreign traders, especially as it produced many fine spices such as cinnamon and cloves. Examples of foreign influence include the Arabs who introduced the use of saffron and rose water.
The first colonials, the Portuguese who ruled the island in the 1500s, introduced the use of chillies and varied culinary terms such as ‘temper’ which is derived from the Portuguese word, temperado, which is to fry and season.
The Dutch who followed introduced recipes such as Breudher, Christmas cake, Frikkadels (meatballs) and Lomprijst (rice and accompaniments wrapped in banana leaves) or Lamprais as they are known locally.
A Malay influence can be found in the rice dishes Pulao and Biryani dish. Wattalapam, which is a steamed dessert, is also a Malay dish. | [

Since October, students at the University of Missouri had staged protests calling for more attention and action from the university president in response to a series of racially charged incidents on campus. That protest had little traction outside of the campus—and it did not seems as if the university president was taking it too seriously; that is, until a sizable portion of the Division I football squad declared they would not play in subsequent games. Underscoring that statement, the coach quickly backed their decision. That action lingered for a day or so, until Sunday evening when the story began to run on major media outlets like NPR and New York Times. By the next day, the president had resigned.
Almost overnight, the students’ protests became national news, with swarms of media attention, including student reporters for the University of Missouri School of Journalism, one of the most respected programs in the country.
But those interests—in First Amendments allowances for the media to tell the story, and free speech rights to protest—clashed when Tim Tai, a 20-year old student freelancing for ESPN, attempted to take photographs at Carnahan Quad, where students had gathered, including some huddled into pitched tents. There, he was directly confronted by Janna Basler, the university's assistant director of Greek life and leadership in the Student Life Division.
“You need to back off,” she menacingly told him, the exchange captured on a cell phone video, which was quickly distributed.
Referring to the First Amendment, he responds calmly, “It protects your right to stand here, and it protects mine.”
It is a succinct statement that quickly explains the direct contrast between basic constitutional allowances to assemble and first amendment privileges for free speech—and, the incident has provided lasting lessons about those student rights.
In response to the unfolding events, the University of Missouri School of Journalism issued a series of press releases providing insights and instruction on legal privileges pertaining to peaceful assemble and media rights.
Co-writing one of those press releases, Missouri School of Journalism professors Brett Johnson and Stacey Woelfel list several considerations for school administrators when managing such incidents. For starters, they point out that the campus space, Carnahan Quad, is a public space. That recognition is critical to providing framework for considering these issues—and how staff and faculty should measure and permit certain behavior.
Clearly, the campus green is a public space. Wanting a public space to be private does not effectively make it so. However, creating a specific barrier—like the students who were inside tents or, a student behind closed dorm room door—may create a “private space” (and, hence, off-limits) as long as there is a reasonable expectation of privacy (i.e., a decent rule of thumb is that the person is not in the line of sight). That difference between public and private space is critical in determining what rights students may have.
Second, recognizing that an incident occurs in a public space—and therefore should be considered “neutral” ground—the staff and faculty responsibility is towards maintaining that neutrality. In this incident, in addition to a staff member (the Director of Greek Life) telling a student journalist to leave, an adjunct instructor, Melissa Click, called out for “backup” to remove the student photographer. “Hey, who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?,” she yelled. “I need some muscle over here!" (The school’s contract with Click was quickly canceled after the incident.)
Instead, instruct Johnson and Woelfel, “ideally, the space would have had neutral parties to maintain order between the groups”—what they call “refereeing a public space.” A staff or faculty member should serve as one of those neutral parties to maintain the public space.
Johnson and Woelfel also go on to explore more nuanced legal issues: Whether the protest itself—namely, creating a circle of people around protestors—was expressive speech itself (which is protected and allowable), or if it was an attempt to lock the press out of a public space (which is not allowed). These are case-by-case judgment. Again, though, the staff members or agents of the university in this incident did not act to provide a neutral party to judge the actions, but instead choose one set of legal privileges at the expense of others. | [

The Results: Rapid Deployment for Customers Makes the IoT Easy
The RS1xx sensor has enabled Efficiency Systems to rapidly expand their use case portfolio for their Smart Shopfloor solutions. The introduction of this product enables temperature probe sensor, ambient temperature and humidity, and door open/closed data that quickly and easily integrates into Efficiency Systems’ DAPONA platform for realtime monitoring.
The DAPONA platform makes it quick and easy to customize dashboards and automated actions around the RS1xx sensor data, bringing sensor connectivity to even more applications and environments. “Our platform reduces fire risk by monitoring temperature 24/7 on potential fire spots, triggering multilevel alarms at the first anomalies long before something breaks down,” says Thilo Heffner, Founder and CEO of Efficiency Systems.
RS1xx sensors have enabled a line of smart fire prevention applications which leverage the Smart Shopfloor platform to measure temperature data in equipment that poses a fire risk, such as industrial sawmill equipment. The sensors provide regular temperature updates over a configurable interval that can spot a failure before it happens and interface with alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and more. This is the difference between extinguishing a fire and preventing one in the first place, a valuable service provided at a cost-effective rate to Efficiency Systems’ customers.
The sensors allow for unique monitoring opportunities that might otherwise have gone underserved, such as temperature and humidity monitoring for the preservation of a church organ, or environmental monitoring in a beehive. Making sensors easy to install opens up unique applications and brings previously unconnectable things to the IoT.

Watchdog groups have long argued that the Texas Enterprise Fund, a taxpayer-funded program that has awarded more than $487 million to big businesses that set up shop in the Lone Star State since 2004, is a slush fund that allows Gov. Rick Perry to reward allies and political donors. Despite the criticisms, the Texas State Auditor’s Office hasn’t examined the fund’s finances in at least a decade. Now a bipartisan group of state senators is pushing a bill that would subject the Enterprise Fund to an independent state audit. But Perry’s office won’t explain whether the governor backs the idea. Besides, it says, the state’s top three Republicans have everything under control.
“Every project must receive unanimous approval from the governor, lieutenant governor, and House speaker,” says Lucy Nashed, a spokeswoman for Perry. “The Legislature reviews the state’s incentive funds every two years, and has continued to see the value in reauthorizing them every biennium since their inception.” Actually, lawmakers are not planning to give any more money to the fund in the 2014-15 fiscal year, according to the San Antonio Express-News. (There is still about $140 million left in the kitty.) And although Nashed says that Perry “will review any bill that makes it through the process and onto his desk,” she wouldn’t say whether he supports or opposes the bill that has been introduced.
Auditing experts say having three GOP officials sign off on the Enterprise Fund’s projects is not comparable to an audit. “I’m not familiar with the fund, but that doesn’t seem to qualify as internal auditing at all,” says Roger Martin, vice president of the American Accounting Association. D. Scott Showalter, an accounting professor at North Carolina State University, adds that “public funds [require] a higher level of accountability. An independent audit appears reasonable.”
Given the Texas Enterprise Fund’s record, Perry and his allies may have reason to fear a higher level of accountability. In 2010, the Texas Observer found that since the fund’s inception in 2003, 20 of the 55 Texas Enterprise Fund grant recipients had given money directly to Perry’s campaign or the Republican Governor’s Association. A look at awards since 2010 shows the practice of handing money to Perry donors continues, albeit on a smaller scale: About 15 percent of companies that have received money from the fund since 2010 donated to Perry’s campaign, according to records maintained by the National Institute on Money in State Politics and the Center for Responsive Politics.
Perry maintains that the fund gives Texas a competitive edge and has brought more than 56,000 new jobs to the state and generated more than $14.7 billion in capital investment. But the watchdog group Texans for Public Justice found that by the end of 2010, companies getting cash from the fund were only creating about 37 percent of the number of jobs promised. The administration has lowered standards in the past so that companies could create fewer jobs than they had promised, and it has canceled contracts after criticism over companies such as Bank of America’s Countrywide, which continued to be an Enterprise grantee as it collapsed and laid off thousands of workers nationwide.
The Texas Enterprise Fund “doesn’t have enough transparency, it doesn’t have enough oversight, and it’s essentially a slush fund run out of the back of the governor’s office,” argues Craig McDonald, director of Texans for Public Justice, a state watchdog group.
The Texas state auditor’s office would not comment to Mother Jones on whether or not the fund has enough oversight. However, when it audited Perry’s other pet corporate grant program, the $200 million Texas Emerging Technology Fund (which at the time, required the same unanimous approval by Perry and Co. as the Enterprise fund) in 2011, the state auditor found that this fund had no consistent process for awarding grants, did not stop advisory board members (who were appointed by Perry) from accepting compensation from grant recipients, didn’t record its meetings, and did not submit the majority of its required annual reports between 2007 and 2009. Another fund, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, which was spearheaded by Perry and Lance Armstrong, saw eight cancer scientists (two of them Nobel laureates) resign in protest because it was putting political and commercial interests over scientific ones.
“Perry’s office is basically accommodating a process by which taxpayer money is transferred to corporations, not invested in state infrastructure,” says Matt Angle, the director of the Lone Star Project, a political action committee devoted to strategic communications and research for Democrats. He would like to see Enterprise funds start going to education, family planning, and roads. (In 2011, Perry cut $5.4 billion in state funding from public schools, and he is turning down $100 billion to expand Medicaid while also shuttering 53 family planning clinics.)
For now, it’s unclear where the remaining $140 million in the Texas Enterprise Fund will end | [

Always eager to support the community, InRoads Credit Union employees spent part of their Columbus Day holiday building bicycles for CASA for Children in Columbia County. The employees assembled 20 bicycles, ranging from small toddler-sized bikes to big-kid models.
Part of the credit union’s annual all-staff training day is reserved for a community-related project, such as bicycle building for CASA for Children in Columbia County.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to bring smiles to the faces of children all over the community,” stated Brooke Van Vleet, President and CEO of InRoads Credit Union. “Every year, InRoads employees look forward to Columbus Day and this annual community-focused event.”
CASA for Children received the assembled bicycles and immediately started distributing them to foster kids throughout Columbia County. “There are so many local children in need,” said Karin Miller, Program Manager for Children Columbia County office. “I want to thank everyone at InRoads for the support of CASA.” | [

Owner: Ministry of Transportation, Ontario
Consultant: Morrison Hershfield
Contractor: Underground Services Limited
Location: Mississauga, Ontario
With over 320,000 vehicles per day the intersection of Highways 401, 403 and 410 in Mississauga, Ontario, is one of the busiest in North America. At the same location can be found the confluence of several drainage paths, all of which are channelled into one major storm drain, which then passes beneath the intersection through a single storm sewer pipe.
Built in 1974, this 3050mm concrete storm sewer was showing severe signs of pre-mature deterioration. For several years, the concrete sewer had been cracking; joints had been separating and corrosion of the reinforcing steel and subsequent spalling of the concrete from the interior pipe walls was becoming a major concern.
The owner, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario recognized that the storm sewer had to be rehabilitated. Replacement was impractical, if not impossible, due to its location under one of the busiest highways in Canada.
The decision was made to re-line the existing structure to extend its life. The consulting engineer, Morrison Hershfield was charged with finding a liner system that would accommodate the anticipated structural loading and up to 90mm of pipe deflection. In addition the solution demanded unusual physical constraints due to the condition of the existing culvert. Whatever solution was chosen would need to be installed with a minimum reduction in hydraulic capacity.
Numerous options were examined that were all variations of Corrugated Steel Pipe. Multi-Plate®, Tunnel Liner Plate® and various corrugations, gauges and coatings of Hel-Cor® Corrugated Steel Pipe were considered. The objective was to find a solution that would meet the load and deflection requirements, maximize the inside diameter and satisfy the hydraulic conditions.
Various solutions were eliminated on the basis of corrugation profile. | [

Jose Mourinho pleased with Gareth Bale’s recent upturn of form.
The 31-year old winger suffered fitness issues since his arrival from Real Madrid in the summer window and barely had an impact in the North London club.
He scored a brace and made an assist in Spurs’ 4-0 win over Burnley and Mourinho believes Bale could be giving more to the team.
“Sometimes people write things, and sometimes, some of you like to imagine stories, you need to write stories and sometimes you like to say things that are not really true but there is not one single manager in the world that doesn’t play Gareth Bale if Gareth Bale is in very good condition,” Mourinho said.
“There is not one, but now he is better than ever.

Oil palm plantation in Malaysia. Photo by Jeremy Hance.
Members of the European Parliament have voted in favor of listing specific vegetable oils — including palm oil — on product labels, reports the Clear Labels, Not Forests initiative which pushed for the measure.
The new agreement requires all vegetable oils to be labeled individually by 2015. Presently different oils are typically label under the generic term “vegetable oil.”
Conservation groups pushed for the measure as a means to make consumers aware of whether the products they use contain palm oil, which environmental campaigners have linked to deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia. Conservationists are hoping palm oil labeling could encourage consumer products companies to use more eco-certified palm oil, which is generally produced without conversion of biologically-rich rainforests and peatlands. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is the leading certification standard.
“Consumers want to know if products contain palm oil, and where that palm oil comes from,” said Helen Buckland, UK Director of the Sumatran Orangutan Society, one of the supporters of the Clear Labels, Not Forests initiative. “This new regulation will make palm oil visible on ingredients lists, enabling consumer choice and ultimately providing leverage for European companies to clean up their supply chains and only use certified sustainable palm oil.”
“It is time for retailers and manufacturers to play their role in supporting the transformation of the industry.”
The labeling measure has been strongly opposed by the Malaysian palm oil lobby, which fears that listing palm oil as an ingredient could result in discrimination against palm oil-containing products in the marketplace.
“Malaysia is of the view that labeling palm oil purely from the perspective of sustainable production is discriminatory,” said Y.B. Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, Malaysia’s Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, in a statement issued last month after Australia passed a similar labeling rule.
Palm oil is used widely in processed food products and cosmetics. Its high yield makes it a cheap source of oil.
(06/27/2011) Just days after being rejected by the the Senate Community Affairs Committee, Australia’s Senate passed the Amended Truth in Labeling – Palm Oil Bill.
(04/21/2011) The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a body that sets criteria for social and environmental certification of palm oil, weighed in on the debate on Australia’s proposal to require listing of palm oil as an ingredient on package labels. At the same time the RSPO announced its own labeling initiative to distinguish products that use RSPO-certified palm oil from those that do not.
(02/09/2011) One of the world’s highest profile and most controversial palm oil companies, Golden Agri-Resources Limited (GAR), has signed an agreement committing it to protect tropical forests and peatlands in Indonesia. The deal—signed with The Forest Trust, an environmental group that works with companies to improve their supply chains—could have significant ramifications for how palm oil is produced in the country, which is the world’s largest producer of palm oil.
(01/26/2011) The commercial shows a typical office setting. A worker sits drearily at a desk, shredding papers and watching minutes tick by on the clock. When his break comes, he takes out a Nestle KitKat bar. As he tears into the package, the viewer, but not the office worker, notices something is amiss—what should be chocolate has been replaced by the dark hairy finger of an orangutan. With the jarring crunch of teeth breaking through bone, the worker bites into the “bar.” Drops of blood fall on the keyboard and run down his face. His officemates stare, horrified. The advertisement cuts to a solitary tree standing amid a deforested landscape. A chainsaw whines. The message: Palm oil—an ingredient in many Nestle products—is killing orangutans by destroying their habitat, the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra.
(01/10/2011) Sales of palm oil certified under the leading sustainability standard surged 225 percent in 2010, suggesting growing consumer interest in more responsibly-sourced palm oil.
(12/19/2010) The palm oil industry’s sustainability initiative is making considerable progress toward improving its environmental performance, but needs to do more to accelerate the adoption of responsible practices, argue researchers writing in mongabay.com’s open access journal Tropical Conservation Science.
(11/09/2010) U.S. companies should take a leadership role in helping ensure that palm oil production is sustainable and does not come at the cost of forests, climate, and communities, argues a new report published ahead of the annual meeting of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). The report, published by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), says that while the U.S. is only | [

Did you know that the number one industry in Florida is tourism?
Even though it often feels tropical, Florida is not immune to changes in weather depending on the season. The Sunshine State certainly experiences variation in temperatures and other climate conditions depending on the time of year.
Let’s take a look at average weather patterns each month out of the year. We’ll also try to highlight differences in the distinct parts of the state so that you can choose the perfect month for your next getaway.
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in January?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in February?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in March?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in April?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in May?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in June?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in July?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in August?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in September?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in October?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in November?
- What’s the Weather Like in Florida in December?
- When is the Rainy Season in Florida?
- When is Hurricane Season in Florida?
- Is There Any Month When You Should Not Visit Florida?
- When Is the Quietest Time to Visit Walt Disney World in Florida?
What’s the Weather Like in Florida in January?
January is typically the coolest month of the whole year in Florida. Average low temperatures fall to the high 40s and low 50s, particularly in the Panhandle and other more northern parts of the state. That being said, it often gets up into the mid-70s throughout the day in Miami, the Keys, and the other more southern locales.
Rainfall is relatively low in January, especially compared to other months. Florida is always humid, but less so during cooler weather.
Because of these more mild temperatures and low rainfall, January is a great time to visit Florida’s theme parks, especially if you don’t like being outside in the heat and humidity. Major resorts also tend to heat their pools, so you still have the opportunity to enjoy some aquatic adventures.
What’s the Weather Like in Florida in February?
Things start to pick up in February in Florida, temperatures and otherwise. Early morning and evening temperatures can be quite cool further north, but the days get longer. In addition, there is still very low rainfall throughout the state.
Lots of northeastern families make a southern sojourn to the Sunshine State over school winter breaks in February. Average temperatures are slightly higher than in January. Most parts of the state reach 70 degrees during the day, with lows in the high 40s and low 50s. Ample sunshine and low humidity make it very comfortable on the beaches.
What’s the Weather Like in Florida in March?
March is a hectic month in Florida, as spring breakers from around the country descend on its beaches and other attractions. Lucky for them, they’re likely to enjoy warmer temperatures and little rain.
Average temperatures climb to highs in the high 70s and 80s, while lows are also warmer, high 50s and low 60s. While March sees more rain than January or February throughout the state, the average rainfall is still under four inches in central and southern Florida.
The higher temperatures and low rain, in addition to spring break schedules throughout the country, mean that March is going to be much busier for tourists. Walt Disney World begins its slate of annual festivals with the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival as well, so be sure to plan accordingly.
What’s the Weather Like in Florida in April?
From March, the weather trends carry into April, with temperatures continuing to climb into the 80s most days in most parts of the state. Rainfall is still low, even slightly lower than in March in most parts of the state, especially the Panhandle.
While temperatures climb, tourism tails off as the month goes on. By the middle of the month, spring break is over, and Easter has passed (in most years). In addition, many “snowbirds” return north to their spring and summer homes. Fewer people means more space on the beaches, in restaurants, and at the theme parks and other attractions.
What’s the Weather Like in Florida in May?
As May progresses, it begins to feel more and more like summer in Florida. Average high temperatures range in the mid-high 80s, but high temperatures rarely exceed 95 degrees. In addition, it can be quite humid, with humidity over 80%.
Overnight and early morning temperatures tend to be in the 60s. Rainfall also increases in the south and slightly decreases in north Florida. Crowds also tend to be lower since many | [

LCW, a Moscow, Idaho clean energy company with early support from PNNL through DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy, developed an acrylic fiber which attracts and holds on to dissolved uranium naturally present in ocean water.
LCW is applying for further SBIR funding for a uranium extraction field demonstration, to be led by PNNL, in the Gulf of Mexico, where the water is much warmer. The material performs much better in warmer water and extraction rates in the Gulf are expected to be three to five times higher, therefore making it more economical to obtain uranium from seawater.
They have chemically modified regular, inexpensive yarn, to convert it into an adsorbent which is selective for uranium, efficient and reusable," said Chien Wai, president of LCW Supercritical Technologies.
The adsorbent material is inexpensive, according to Wai. In fact, he said, even waste yarn can be used to create the polymer fiber. | [

Our certified mechanics come to you · Get a fair and transparent estimate upfront
P3459 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for "TP, MAP, or MAF Sensors". This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. Our certified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic for $154.99. Once we are able to diagnose the problem, you will be provided with an upfront quote for the recommended fix and receive $50.0 off as a credit towards the repair. All our repairs are backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty.
*Estimates may vary by market
The P349 code reflects that there is a problem with your vehicle’s TP, MAP, or MAF sensors.
The control module in your vehicle is responsible for making sure that your ride is as safe, smooth and efficient as possible, even carrying out certain processes in service of this without letting you know.
One method of doing this is called cylinder deactivation mode. Basically, your vehicle is able to store a range of calculated values that would be enough to switch from V8 to V4 mode – again, without ever having to bother you.
The reason your vehicle does this is to increase fuel efficiency. Under light load conditions, your vehicle simply doesn’t need all eight cylinders – or all the gas they entail – to get the job done. So if the path ahead gets easier, special valve filters will stop intake and exhaust valves on certain cylinders from opening. All of this happens within milliseconds!
Unfortunately, sometimes, it should happen, but it doesn’t. When P3459 is stored, it’s because cylinders one and seven on the left bank and four and six on the right bank aren’t being shut down as they should, meaning your vehicle never enters V4 mode.
There are actually a number of reasons that could contribute to the P3459 code being stored:
There are really only a couple of symptoms that you may notice if your vehicle’s PCM has stored the P3459 code. First, you’ll probably see the Check Engine Light come on.
The other symptom you may take note of is that your vehicle’s fuel economy begins to suffer. This one is tough, though, because you may not use cylinder deactivation mode that much, meaning your fuel economy wouldn’t hurt by a lot either. However, by not being able to lay off extraneous cylinders, most of you will feel it at the pump a bit.
A qualified mechanic will begin their diagnosis by using a scanner to confirm all the codes your PCM has stored. This will include the details regarding P3459. They’ll then inspect your vehicle’s cylinders and move onto the TP, MAF and MAF sensors. Your mechanic will also want to examine whether or not oil is able to transfer freely without issue.
Again, one of the biggest mistakes with diagnosing the P3459 code is simply that it’s so easy to miss the problem in the first place. You may not even know it was a problem until you bring your vehicle in for some other reason.
This is why it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the MPG you generally get and take note if it begins changing unexpectedly. One possible explanation would be that your vehicle can’t shift to V4 mode when it would be prudent.
The problems related to the P3459 code definitely aren’t the kind that could damage your vehicle or put your life at risk. As we mentioned already, what it will do is end up costing you at the pump, so it’s probably worth having a professional fix it for you.
Given that it’s a pretty simple problem, your mechanic shouldn’t have to do too much to fix it. They should only have to do one of the following:
The problems that cause P3459 should serve as a good reminder to always take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic when you see the Check Engine light, even if it seems like nothing is wrong.

Different types of Upholstery Fabric
Upholstery Cleaning in Dixon — Fabrics are made from natural fibers that come from animals or plants.
Chenille’s soft surface pile inspired its title — it’s the French word for”caterpillar.” Its extra weft threading gives it a glow. Chenille is often made from natural fibers, but it may also be made from synthetics such as rayon.
Cotton furniture upholstery is usually a mix, combining this trendy, breathable natural fiber with polyester, linen, nylon, etc. for extra texture, durability, or resistance to soiling and wrinkling.
A fiber generated in India and Bangladesh, jute was traditionally used for rope and matting. Though susceptible to wrinkling, it’s a fantastic material for modern rustic accent pieces like an ottoman, including a somewhat rougher texture that pairs well with wood and/or leather.
Leather upholstery may vary greatly in cost and quality, depending on therapy and its quality.
Leather: organic marks or imperfections are left intact, and Full-grain leather employs the animal hide rather than layers. Here is the top notch leather.
Top-grain leather: Top-grain leather uses the strong top layers of the animal hide and is second in quality only to grain that is full.
Corrected-grain leather: Corrected-grain leather has been treated to eliminate imperfections and then given an imitation grain to get a uniform look.
Leather : Split leather consists of the drop or bottom split of the mask. With leather, a synthetic surface layer is laminated to the surface.
Made from yarn, linen is an extremely strong all-natural textile fiber. It’s a fabric that offers natural resistance and durability to pilling, moths, and abrasion. It’s frequently used along with cotton for elasticity. Neatly tailored pieces such as parsons chairs, traditional dining seats, and tufted arm chairs offer you a great look for linen.
Soft silk, and luxurious feels at home in formal settings and is best maintained to kid-free/spill-free zones. Silk is sometimes backed with cotton in order to add weight and durability and comes from both artificial and natural varieties. Sunlight can cause this fabric to fade so think strategically about where you place a silk upholstered piece.
Velvet is a lavish woven fabric distinguished with its thick and short heap. This soft and glistening material can be produced from synthetic or natural fibers and varies in type and quality. Though relatively hard to clean, velvet stands out because of its comfort, feel, and rich colour, which make it a preferred choice for dramatic pieces such as traditional button-tufted headboards and swanky accent seats.
Most wool you locate on accent and sofas chairs today is actually a blend of synthetic and natural fibers. The inclusion of synthetic substances helps the fabric stand up better to wear and makes it easier to clean.
Synthetic fabrics called materials, are textiles made from man-made fibers as opposed. Synthetic fabrics are more resistant to fading and staining and are far more durable than natural materials.
Faux leather is usually manufactured from polyurethane to vinyl or PVC. PU is much more breathable than PVC, and it’s also degradable.
Microfiber is a knit blend polyester fabric that’s softer than suede and a great deal easier to clean (just make sure you dab instead of rub). This dense substance is made providing the aesthetic qualities of suede to durability and moisture resistance. This low-cost fabric is ideally suited to chaise lounges, sectional or convertible sofas, and cozy casual chairs in a modern style.
A synthetic fiber, nylon is generally blended with other substances to make a strong and durable material. It is typically easy to maintain and isn’t prone to wrinkling.
Olefin is a manmade material that is made from melting down pellets. Any desired color is added and the threads are woven together. Because the colors are baked in rather than added to the surface, olefin will hold its color and may be cleaned with bleaches. This material is great for upholstery.
First introduced in the 1950s, polyester is a synthetic fabric that does its very best work in tandem with materials like wool and cotton. Polyester blends provide excellent durability, easy cleaning, and resistance to fading, wrinkling, and abrasion — and pilling, in the case of polywool mixes.
This cellulose-based substance was developed to mimic fabrics like cotton and linen. It’s commonly combined with other types of threads to create a mixed material that’s suitable for upholstery.

The PEPPHER composition tool: performance-aware composition for GPU-based systems
2014 (English)In: Computing, ISSN 0010-485X, E-ISSN 1436-5057, Vol. 96, no 12, 1195-1211 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
The PEPPHER (EU FP7 project) component model defines the notion of component, interface and meta-data for homogeneous and heterogeneous parallel systems. In this paper, we describe and evaluate the PEPPHER composition tool, which explores the application’s components and their implementation variants, generates the necessary low-level code that interacts with the runtime system, and coordinates the native compilation and linking of the various code units to compose the overall application code to optimize performance. We discuss the concept of smart containers and its benefits for reducing dispatch overhead, exploiting implicit parallelism across component invocations and runtime optimization of data transfers. In an experimental evaluation with several applications, we demonstrate that the composition tool provides a high-level programming front-end while effectively utilizing the task-based PEPPHER runtime system (StarPU) underneath for different usage scenarios on GPU-based systems.

Which would you rather do in the next few months? Pay off your credit cards, or build interest on the money in your savings?
Most people will go for the latter option. Making more money on your savings appears like the most stable financial option. By making more from interest, you will be able to pay off your credit card faster later on.
Yet the only problem with this scenario is that you may end up paying more interest on your credit cards than what you will make in interest on your savings. This can result in you losing more money overall by postponing paying off your credit card bill.
Understand Your Credit & Savings Interest
Most financial planners will tell you upfront to get rid of all your credit card debt as quickly as possible. The main reason is that you could be paying high-interest on the debt that you are carrying on a monthly basis. Bank credit cards, as well as store credit cards, can have high rates from 15% going upwards to 29% APR.
On the flip side, big banks will normally offer an interest rate as low as 1% APY on the money that you have placed into your savings. While you may have more savings available, it is slowly being whittled away by the insanely high-interest bank credit card that isn't being paid off.
Look at this from another angle. Let's say your friend has about $15,000 in a savings account earning 1% APY. While this amount is a nice nest egg that is slowly building, she may be paying a $10,000 balance on a credit card that has an interest rate of 15%.
The 15% credit card interest that is owed completely wipes out the 1% savings interest that she is making. In addition, she still has to pay the other 14% in credit card interest, as she is only making minimum monthly payments.
Pay Off Your Credit Cards First
Never let credit card payments build up. Instead, completely pay off the amount to avoid carrying the large interest rate from one month to the next. While you don't want to see your savings get hit drastically, you also don't want the money to slowly disappear into your credit cards because you are paying the interest over a longer period of time.
Also, beware of the minimum amount that is allowed to be paid on your credit cards. If you only pay the minimum, it can take you decades to wipe out the balance that you owe, and you'll be paying even more in the end.
You always want to pay more than what is suggested for minimum credit card payments. One way to do this is to make multiple small payments throughout the month that will add up. Then you can significantly lower your debt and pay less interest. With a lower credit card balance, you'll be able to build up more of your savings.
Keeping your debt in control without damaging your savings is doable. Pay attention to the interest rates on each of your credit cards, and pay the highest rate balance off as quickly as possible.

May 27, 2008 -- Adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) work 22 fewer workdays than their co-workers without the condition, according to a new study. The total takes into account days absent and days of low productivity.
"When you compare these people to other people of the same age, sex, and with the same education and see how they function [on the job], there is a substantial amount of role impairment in ADHD," says Ron Kessler, PhD, a co-author of the study and a professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School.
The study was part of the World Mental Health Survey Initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO). It is published online ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Kessler and his team screened more than 7,000 workers (including self-employed workers) aged 18 to 44. The workers described their performance on the job in the last month.
While ADHD is often thought of as a childhood problem, growing evidence suggests that a substantial number of adults have the condition and that it is underdiagnosed in adults. Those with ADHD find it difficult to concentrate due to their distractibility, hyperactivity, impulsivity, or forgetfulness.
Adults With ADHD: The Findings
Though the WHO World Mental Health Surveys are conducted in 26 countries, the recent study assessed only 10 countries for the prevalence of adult ADHD, Kessler says, because these 10 were the only ones who "bothered to look at ADHD."
"What we discovered is a pretty substantial number of people have ADHD," says Kessler.
Overall, "we had about 3.4% of people who had ADHD."
Country by country, France had the highest percentage of ADHD among adult workers surveyed, followed by the U.S.; Spain had the lowest percentage.
The 10-country scorecard:
- France 7.3%
- U.S. 5.2%
- Netherlands 5.0%
- Belgium 4.1%
- Germany 3.1%
- Italy 2.8%
- Mexico and Colombia: 1.9%
- Lebanon 1.8%
- Spain 1.2%
Adults With ADHD: The Time Loss
Overall, Kessler says, those with ADHD, compared with workers without the condition, put in 22.1 fewer days a year -- nearly a month's worth of workdays. About eight of those days were completely lost because they didn't work or didn't carry out normal activities. The other 14 days had low productivity, where the quantity or the quality of the work suffered, Kessler says.
"People with ADHD have more sick days and lower performance when they work," Kessler tells WebMD. "This is one of those hidden illnesses in the workplace."
Adults With ADHD
The problem of ADHD in the workplace, until now, has not been investigated much, says James T. McCracken, MD, vice chairman of the department of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the University of California Los Angeles Semel Institute and Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital.
"Overall [the study] raises a really important issue," he says. "It takes a look at an aspect of adult ADHD that until now has been not that well quantified -- the work impact."
The numbers obtained by the researchers make sense, he says, from what he has observed with patients.
"The finding that one month a year is lost is very significant from a productivity standpoint," says Thomas Parry, PhD, president of the Integrated Benefits Institute, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that conducts research on workplace health and productivity.
Parry is working with Kessler to develop tools to better measure ADHD in the workplace.
Advice for Adults With Possible ADHD
Workers who have trouble concentrating and focusing, Kessler says, should bring it up with their primary care doctor. "It's worth talking to your doctor because you don't have to live like this."
McCracken agrees, noting that medication can help. Behavioral therapy that addresses key problem areas such as poor organization have been shown to help, too, he says.
The WHO Mental Health Survey Initiative is supported by the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health, other public health organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and other sources. The preparation of the current report was partially supported by Eli Lilly and Co., which makes an ADHD drug, as well as other survey initiative supporters. Lilly had no role in the study design, results, or analysis. | [

While there are a variety of websites which offer no-cost online casino games, you will find them, most have laws that ban them. Online casino is fun, but it is not illegal. However, playing with real money comes with a lot of risk. There are rules to be adhered to when you play casino online. If you are not aware of these, it is recommended to play online casino for free first before playing it for real money.
Today gambling is legal in forty states. This includes New Jersey and Delaware. In other states, the concept of gambling may not always be so clear, so the companies will seek ways to continue their operations. Before you enjoy casino online real money, make sure to check the laws of your state first, but if you do, you will probably face no legal responsibilities for playing online. If you choose to play online, ensure that you have an internet connection and an online banking system. Many states have laws that require either a debit or credit card to be able to play. These laws are mostly directed at poker websites that are online.
Ecogra is one of the most well-known online real-money casino sites. Ecogra provides both free and paid casino games as well as banking options. It allows blackjack, roulette, baccarat as well as other games. Players can also try their hands at slot machines. They can also purchase gifts like tickets to games in the future, to increase their points.
The site also provides a mobile application. Users can use the app to pay with PayPal and 747 live casino credit card payments, and they can also add money to their virtual bank accounts via transfers. However, they do not have a mobile payment system. However, they have a mobile application and a way to transfer funds into their account. Ecogra claims they are developing an online payment system. The time will tell if the company’s plans succeed or fail.
Alongside the mobile app and its direct online casino payment system, the website offers numerous promotions throughout the year. Promotions offer special « reward » games such as video poker tournaments and slots at specific times of the year. Promotions provide players with free spins on games that do not require real money in other instances. These promotions include tournaments of video poker as well as bingo, roulette and spins on casino slots machines. Some promotions require players register and download software prior to playing. Some promotions only require players to sign in and play at the games for free.
A recent promotion offered players free spins on roulette. After players completed their first round of play, they were offered a an opportunity to win cash prizes. For instance, they could winning more than five hundred dollars. These real cash prizes could be used later to purchase bonus credits that can be used to win more money. These bonuses cannot be transferred to other accounts, and must be used at slot machines.
Online casinos provide real money transfers for many reasons. One reason is that the fact that the transaction is electronic boosts the probability that the transaction will be safe. Fraudsters have demonstrated that they don’t trust internet for money transfers. Hackers have gained access to user data through a range of data breaches at online casinos. Lastly, many people are hesitant to use online payment methods. Casinos offer an alternative to PayPal, mozzart Google Checkout, or other payment methods that are traditional.
Before you begin playing, it is important that you understand how online casino reviews can assist you in selecting the best casino. To accomplish this, it is helpful to read the casino review of the website. Then, you should check if they take major credit cards or debit cards. Review sites should also allow you to pay with major credit cards, which means that if you lose your password or credit card details, you will be able to retrieve them. | [

We are pleased to announce New classes for those with more advanced Parkinson’s or less fit individuals. They are based on the PDPower classes but at a slower pace. Carers are encouraged and welcome to attend to support individuals. All assessments and prices are the same as PDPower. Carers attend for free. Come along, have some fun and see us in action.
I am very excited to announce the launch of my first 10 week PD Warrior Licensed Program in February 2018. The class will be at Bisham Abbey Sports Centre SL7 1RR, near Maidenhead and Marlow. Sign up in January to secure a place and have your assessment. See more details on the PD Warrior Page.
The importance of humour
It is important to keep laughing in the face of serious illness, says PAUL MAYHEW-ARCHER
I have finally completed my October goal of running my first ever 10k. A total of 40k run in October. It was harder (and slower!) than I thought but I have my first running blister for proof! Thanks to my friends and family for running with me. Thank you for all your support and donations to Parkinson’s UK. I have enjoyed the challenge and will be look forward to my next ones in the New Year – swimming and cycling!
I am doing a virtual run for Parkinson’s UK throughout October. I am planning on running 10k each week in October with a 10k in one go at the end of the month – so 50k in total this month. I have made a start this week with 3 k on Monday. I thought it was about time I challenged myself as I am always encouraging you guys to do more – so here I go! This will be the first stage of my challenges in 2017/2018 with a cycle ride and a swim (maybe open water – I am having swimming lessons which are hard!). So if you fancy sponsoring me then go to the link below:
Finally it has been recognised that specialist physiotherapy will benefit early -stage Parkinson’s. And it is exciting as NICE has highlighted research into physiotherapy and Parkinson’s.

What a busy summer! Thanks to all of those who attended the BOOT CAMPS in Hughenden Manor Grounds, along with the cows! The Walk and Pub Lunch saw about 20 of us braving the rain and the sun – but I was the only rainbow around!
Now heading into Autumn we are back to the weekly classes starting this week in Amersham, Beaconsfield and Prestwood. More new challenges lie ahead!
We are pleased to announce 2 more classes and another venue in Beaconsfield.
Thursday Mornings 10-11am and 11.15 – 12.15 at St Michaels Hall, Grenfell Road, Beaconsfield. HP9 2BN
Classes to start early June.
” Just finishing my second 6 week session and I feel fitter and my posture is better – bring on the next session” Andy
“People who join the course will do better than those who don’t!” David
“I’m a cynical old sod – but I’ve loved it, even on days when I’ve lacked motivation. Structured exercise is SO important for PD” Andy
“The PD Power course is giving me a greater ability to fight the onset of PD”. Clive
“Annie is a caring and compassionate practitioner who shows you how to help yourself combat Parkinson’s in a practical way using exercise. I am so glad my nurse put me in touch with her”.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed Annie’s classes – she makes them fun and even though they are hard at times she never pushes you too hard!”
“The sessions on balance and posture were a real eye opener for me”.
“It really helps with general fitness, suppleness, & to meet other people in the same situation as you” | [

Why pick dermal fillers over other anti ageing treatments?
In today’s blog we will be looking at the top reasons to choose dermal fillers over anti-ageing treatments that cannot offer the same long-term benefits.
Dermal filler treatments have become incredibly popular in the last 5 to 10 years as we see more and more famous faces choosing to undergo anti-ageing treatments like this.
With the rise of social media and influences showcasing what dermal fillers can do, it’s no surprise that here at APSARAS Clinic in Coventry, we have also seen a large increase in patients.
The amount of women seeking anti-ageing treatments such as dermal fillers has tripled. So in this blog we are going to explore by the reasons we believe this type of treatment is now proving so popular.
Natural looking results
When dermal filler treatments are performed by a true skin rejuvenation expert, the results are natural looking and make a real difference to a person’s face.
Whether you choose to have lines and wrinkles filled and smoothed or your lips plumped, the natural looking volumised appearance is something many patients find a real benefit to their self-esteem.
The quick treatment times
If you are looking for facial rejuvenation treatments that have a speedy turnaround you can’t go far wrong with dermal fillers. These injectables can be completed in your lunch hour providing you have undergone a consultation.
It can take as little as 15 minutes depending on which area and how much filler is being used to complete this time facial rejuvenation treatment. Lip plumping can take a little longer.
Comparatively to surgical treatments dermal fillers are an affordable solution to treating lines and wrinkles or improving volume. Most patients believe that the cost of upkeep, usually every 18 months, is worth the investment initially.
Every patient at our clinic is given a bespoke treatment plan and therefore prices vary. Book a consultation if you wish to discuss undergoing dermal filler treatments with us.
Safer than surgery
There are always going to be some side effects or risks associated with any form of cosmetic treatment. However, it is widely believed that injectable anti-ageing treatments are safer than undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures.
It is worth bearing in mind that while injectables are not classed surgery they are medical treatments and therefore should only be undertaken by healthcare professionals.
Unlike Botox treatments which only last around six months, you can expect your dermal filler results to last way beyond that. In many cases we find the results of fillers can last up to 18 months, meaning that you get a great return on investment.
Patients should keep in mind that you will require top-up procedures if you wish to maintain the results in the long-term. Most patients believed this is worth the investment as they find the cosmetic results pleasing.
Contact us for more information
If you are interested in learning more about dermal fillers and how they can transform the way you feel about your appearance please contact us today.
You can find full information on how to book a consultation on our contact us page. We look forward to meeting you and helping you create the look you desire. | [

How to Play a Mobile Gambling Game
Mobile gambling games are a great way to enjoy the excitement of the casino without having to leave your home. You can use your smartphone or tablet to place bets on a variety of games and events, and even win real money. There are also plenty of free and low-cost apps that can help you practice and hone your skills before betting for real money.
Whether you are looking for a quick break from work or just want to play with friends, a mobile gambling game is the perfect option for you. The best part is that these types of games are available across all devices, and you don’t need to download anything.
The first thing you need to do is find a good mobile casino that accepts your device. You can find a list of the best ones online by doing some research. You’ll want to look for a site that offers a wide variety of slot games, high-quality graphics, and quick payouts. You should also make sure the casino has a mobile-friendly interface.
Some of the most popular mobile gambling games include slots and table games, which are a great way to pass the time and earn extra cash at the same time. These mobile casino games also offer a number of bonuses that can boost your bankroll. These bonuses range from free spins to cash deposit bonuses, and you can find them in most casino apps.
Another popular type of mobile gambling is sports betting, which has been legalized in many US states. In the past, people only had to visit physical betting clubs to place their bets, but with the rise of mobile betting apps, it’s easier than ever to make bets from your phone or tablet.
You can even try out these games in a demo mode to see how they work before you decide to play for real money. Luckily, most mobile casinos like Red Dog allow you to do this. Just make sure that you exit the practice mode and open the mobile version once you’ve made a decision to place a bet.
A good casino app will offer a variety of different types of games, including table games, video poker, and slots. Most will also offer a number of welcome and loyalty bonuses, as well as VIP programs.
These bonuses can add up quickly and can be a great way to increase your bankroll. However, they are often tied to a wagering requirement that must be met before any withdrawals can be made.
Some casinos also offer special promotions and rewards for referring friends, which are great ways to get some extra cash. These can be in the form of extra free spins, cash deposits, or loyalty points that you can redeem later.
In addition to these benefits, you can even use your mobile phone to pay for food and drinks at certain restaurants. For example, if you buy a coffee from Starbucks, you can get a free coupon to spin the “free cup of coffee” wheel. | [

Introduction: Yummy Berry Pies
Today I am showing you how to make some delicious sweet berry pies. These are great warm on a cold night, or cold on a nice summer evening. Ether way I hope you enjoy eating them.
If you have any questions I would love to answer them so leave them in the comments section below.
Lets get baking
Step 1: Ingredients for the Sweet Short Crust Pastry
- 225 grams Flour
- Pinch Salt
- 125 grams cold Butter
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 Egg beaten
- 1 tsp iced water (add if mixture is a little dry)
Step 2: Mixing Into a Dough
In a large bowl mix together the flour and the salt then rub in the cold butter until the mixture looks nice and yellow from the butter and it resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in the sugar then add the beaten egg and mix until it forms a ball.
Place the pastry in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
Step 3: Lining the Tins
Once the dough has firmed up you can start to roll it out. I floured the bench a little so the pastry didn't stick and rolled it thin (around 2-3mm). Place the tin on the pastry and then cut a larger circle using the tin as a guide so you have enough pastry to line the tins. Roll it onto the rolling pin and then drape it over the top of the pie tin. Gently lift and lower the pastry until it lines the tin nicely then cut off the excess.
Note: You can use individual pie tins like I did or you could make one large pie in a normal size dish.
Step 4: Making the Filling
You can use whatever fruit you want for these pies but today I am using some black boy peaches.
Chop the fruit into little pieces and place them into a bowl. Into the fruit add sugar to taste and about 1 tablespoon of cornflour to thicken the juices when they are cooking.
The proportions that I used are below:
- 320 grams fruit
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cornflour
Step 5: Filling the Tins
Fill the tins with the fruit right up to the top. Ideally you want to mound the filling up over the rim of the tin because the fruit drops a little once it is cooked.
Note: You want to start pre heating the oven to 200C or 392F so that it is ready once the lattice is finished.
Step 6: Making the Lattice
Lay thin strips of the remaining pastry onto the top of the fruit - I placed 5 strips one way and 4 the other way. Pull back three of the strips leaving the other two down then lay a strip of pastry perpendicular to the two strips right in the middle, lay the three strips that we pulled up back down and pull up the other two and lay a strip perpendicular to the three on the fruit. Repeat on both sides until the top of the pie is completed.
Step 7: Baking
Bake the pies in a 200C or 392F oven for 45 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Take them out of the oven and cool on a cooling rack, leaving the pies in the tins for about 30 minutes then remove from the tins to cool completely.
Step 8: Finished and Ready to Eat
After all that hard work, now is the time for you to sit back, put your feet up and enjoy a delicious berry pie fresh from the oven. This would also be very nice with some whipped cream or a dollop of yogurt.

I hardly ever re-blog but these pearls of wisdom I found on http://drbillwooten.com/2014/04/29/life-in-general/#comment-5530 were screaming to be published further on!
“Feelings of suffering change into those of happiness. Feelings of happiness change into suffering. Both arise in dependence upon internal and external causes which change. For example, we see food as pleasurable, but if we eat too much, then it causes suffering. When we are young, we see our bodies as a source of pleasure. As we become older, the same body becomes a source of suffering. Just as a wave is always changing, so the nature of suffering is always to change. It may be experienced as pleasure or as suffering, but it arises from the same source. Pleasure arises from suffering. Seeing pleasure as happiness constitutes suffering. …Pain and pleasure are of the same nature. Although they look different at different times, they both arise from the same sea of delusion and karmic action. Pleasure or pain, one or the other, arises and then falls back into the ocean. Thus we can conclude that pleasure and pain within the ocean of samsara are basically suffering, and dissolve into suffering. This becomes evident in the wide variety of sudden changes of experience depicted in films. Love and hatred, happiness and family strife, peace and war, follow each other in rapid succession. The continuous change, although exaggerated in films, is characteristic of life in general”.
– Ven. Gen Lobsang Gyatso.
These photos and poem were inspired by the blogger Junsjazz Images & Inspiration who always has great advice on photography.
I had fun playing around plain tools as a fennel for a tunnel vision and a sifter for a vintage effect. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
The wig of a scarecrow
Call an onion by its name
And the vim from a warm (1)
Kitchen floats with the
Tenderness of young dreams.
Observe the art of its
Layers, sometimes cracked
Revealing viridity under… (2)
Adorned by a golden glow
Tips resembling the wig of
A scarecrow built carelessly
With the clothes become rags
From stretched days, short nights…
Call an onion and it will
Faithfully expose the aroma,
Give flair to the forlorn, for
In every living, growing,
Is poetry. To the recipient
Of all that is moving and
Changing… days ticking,
Mildew spreading, Calling
Loudly your name.
Ebullient vitality and energy. See Synonyms at vigor.
[Latin, accusative of v s; see wei – in Indo-European roots.]
a. The quality or condition of being green; greenness.
b. The green color of vegetation or leaves.
2. Innocence or inexperience.
This poem was inspired by a very special encounter in my younger age with an older lady and a noble soul.
Precious and valuable
Moments are not always
Seen, felt or appreciated
At the time experienced
Some people we encounter
Open up as hesitantly as
The heavy red velvet drapery
Of an age-old theatre
Revealing the folds of their
Life sparingly with the
Delicacy of a mother bird
Building a nest for her young
Twig by twig for some
Saliva and mud for others
As the patient Barn Swallow
Decorating nature’s scenery
With a lesson of brio and generosity (1)
Those are the brief twinkles
The world offers us as a glimpse
Of its limitlessness and hidden frills
How do we KNOW a moment
Be fully aware of its worth
Feel between our thumb and index
The texture of authenticity and perfection?
Practice and age chisel the tools
Of our wishful transcendence (2)
And when some open hesitantly
The curtains of their inner
Just maybe we will open it
With the thrill of a first
Birthday gift, hide it from
The envious, bring it down
From its niche with veneration
Acknowledge and appraise
The glamour of individuality
Nobility of essence
The validity of confident whispers
The strength needed to remove
The swathes of our souls
And expose the raw artistry
Of treasured encounters.
Vigor; vivacity: “She tells their story with brio and a mixture of sympathy and tart insight” (Michiko Kakutani).

Thailand's cannabis market is expected to grow by about 15% a year between 2023 and 2025, with the market value forecast to reach up to 43 billion baht in 2025, according to the latest study by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC).
Thanavath Phonvichai, the UTCC's president, said after its partial decriminalisation on June 9, cannabis undeniably has the potential to become Thailand's new key economic crop. The crop can generate a lot of income for growers and small enterprises, as well as create economic opportunities for Thailand, he said.
As of April 2022, cannabis plantations covered about 7,500 rai.
The UTCC estimates Thailand's cannabis market to tally 28.1 billion baht this year, with 9.61 billion from upstream products (dried flowers, dried leaves, seeds and other parts), 14.7 billion from midstream products (extracts, oils and fabric), and 3.75 billion from downstream products (medicines and supplementary foods, food and beverage, apparel and personal care items).
The market is expected to grow to 31.8 billion baht in 2023, 36.5 billion in 2024 and 43 billion in 2025, according to the study.
Mr Thanavath said cannabis is projected to generate income for farmers of 800,000 baht to 1.2 million baht per rai per year.
This is much higher than rice, which fetches farmers only 10,000-15,000 baht per rai per year.
The university's survey of 1,215 people nationwide from July 5-15 found most people still disagree with liberalisation of cannabis because of concerns about the misuse of marijuana among children and youths, as well as potential health issues.
Some 75% of respondents say they will not buy or consume products available in the market because of concerns about side effects, production standards and fear of overdoses.
According to Mr Thanavath, many people are open to cannabis use for medical or recreational benefits, but they want the weed's use to be supervised by experts.
People who break the rules of marijuana usage should face severe penalties, while the scope of liberalisation should be clearly defined, he said.
Mr Thanavath said people still have little knowledge about marijuana and hemp, while they have several concerns about their negative effects.
The government needs to do more research and work in an integrated manner to tackle such concerns, he said.
"For medical purposes, the Public Health Ministry has to collect more data and research from patients, in addition to working closely with the Agriculture and Cooperatives and Commerce ministries to come up with appropriate plans for plantation and marketing," said Mr Thanavath. | [

Unfortunately in Ohio, anti-tethering laws do not exist to prevent dog owners from tying up their dogs for an entire day.
A puppy named Fanny has spent her life chained up. As such, it is considered legal to keep Fanny chained up in her owner’s backyard.
Fanny stays in an iron box and is only provided with a bowl of water and some food.
She was never allowed to explore outside due to her chains.
Even though animal control has been called up to take action against Fanny’s owner, he has not broken any laws so nothing can be done for Fanny.
Fanny needs your help!

Freedom of Expression Campaign!
Yesterday was the World’s International Day to End Impunity and promote Freedom Of Expression and it is very important for we activists to resound the major message of yesterday which is Freedom of Expression and Information are fundamental human rights and must be respected by all Governments and Organization.
The world has recently seen a lot of attack on freedom of information. A good example is the jailing of three Al Jazeera journalists in Egypt. Even crackdowns in China, Bahrain, Egypt and most especially Eriteria and North Korea. I have repeatedly seen disheartening reports of human rights violations and attack on press freedom in Eriteria and North Korea.
For purpose of information and enlightenment, the list below shows the WORST 10 COUNTRIES IN FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. The list is from Freedom House and is no particular order.

I changed things up to make do with what I had on hand. I had 1" thick chops, so I coated them with a mixture of flour, salt and pepper. I used olive oil rather than bacon drippings, to brown the chops on all sides. (I did all this in a cast iron skillet.) After browning the chops I removed them to a plate, and made the sauce. I used a very sweet (dessert) wine, so I eliminated the need to add the sugar. I also substituted dried parsley for fresh. I had some canned mushrooms here (which was disappointing; I would have preferred fresh). None the less, I drained them and made them the last addition to the sauce, before adding the chops back in and spooning sauce over them. I popped the skillet in the oven for 30 minutes. In hind sight, I would have only popped them in for 20-25 minutes. Overall, this rendition of the recipes was quite good!

Here is an interview on the upcoming game called Planetsł which is currently in Kickstarter of which can be found through a link below for additional information.
To start off from what I have seen Plant3 looks absolutely beautiful, in terms of design where did the inspiration to go with this art style come from? :
We wanted a game that bring joy, colorful landscape bring this kind of well-being atmosphere. The inspiration come from different RPG or adventure game like Zelda.
Will there be a large variety of characters and or wildlife to come across during these travels? :
We want to have a real consistency with landscapes. They will be generating depending of altitude/longitude/latitude. You will face different landscape that you could discover in our own planet Earth but also “alien” landscape for other planets. Caverns will have different ambiances too, as a big part of the adventure will take place in depths.
Will we be heading back to Asposia anytime soon with a direct sequel or maybe a completely different story?:
Every landscape will come with its own wildlife. We want to have a real diversity in the progression of the adventure
How dynamic will the world be in terms of changing, such as planting trees to see them grow or effects on living in this landscape?:
Planting trees will be possible, as seeing animals grow. It’s a little too early to talk about others dynamic effects over the fauna and flora.
I noticed that there seems to be a large number of weapons or tools, could you perhaps elaborate on the uses and tell us about a personal favorite? :
Indeed there will be a large number of weapon and tool; it is all about bringing diversity to players, which will choose their way of fighting without being restricted by the game. My personal favorite will be the high tech guns, firing plasma for example.
I also noticed vehicle construction, how advanced or simple will this tool be when building it? :
Players will be able to build “simple” vehicles. But players who want to create “complex” ones will be able to do so. Vehicles will be unlocked at a certain time in the adventure, and as the items crafting system; the players will be able to create more and more vehicles when they progress.
There of course will be combat, how strategic will enemies be in facing the player. Will there be PVP for players to show off their skills and how will this work into the RPG aspects? :
Enemies will be smart and can fight in groups or help each other’s. PvP in the first opus will be simple, but we want to create a better PvP system in the second opus, where players will be able to control zones and defend them. Co-op will be the multiplayer feature of the first opus : to complete the storyline in multi.
There is a technical level, would this be terms of a level or gaining experience within the world? :
No, the technical level is directly link to the items you can create. It’s something you will be able to improve by finding new resources and research new recipes (with the Job Masters)
How in-depth of a crafting system will we see aside from vehicle construction? :
As the game in based on a voxel world you will be able to build everything you want with our small blocks. And the item crafting system will allow players to import their own 3D models, allowing them to get “the” sword they want to play with.
I see the project is on Kickstarter, could we get a quick go over on what the stretch or overall goals are for Planets (Cubed)? :
The higher goal is the game we dream of, space combat, advanced spaceship craft, and space enemies! Sure we will deliver a RPG, but players will be able to create their own universe, fixing their rules and story, with advanced PvP combat. We have “smaller” stretch goal for bringing the game to mac/linux, even console. Others add new features for the game.
A final question on how much the multiplayer will effect gameplay and just how many friends can you have around in your world? :
Planetsł will not be a MMO, we want it to be a game you play with your friends. Playing the story in multi will be much more fun and easier. Each player can choose his specific way to fight, and a balanced team will be unbeatable. It’s too early to talk about numbers and servers limitation.
There was a ton of items to cover and I hope I pointed out some good keypoints, if there's anything else you would like to mention feel free to give a final note! :
You did! Planetsł is all about bringing a story over a voxel world. We need more backers to make this project a reality, so do not hesitate to visit our page!

8 Things Never to Say to a Parent of a Kid With ADHD
Parenting ANY child is challenging. Parenting a child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or another sensory processing disorder (SPD) often brings an even larger set of challenges. One of these challenges is dealing with judgmental comments from strangers, friends, and even family. Below, parents of children with ADHD tell us some of the things they wish people would stop saying.
Don’t say: “ADHD isn’t real”
Abby Annable recounted when she was diagnosed with the condition in high school, and began telling her teachers. In response, her math teacher said “ADHD isn’t real. You’re just bored and not willing to pay attention in class.” After starting on medication to help with the symptoms of ADHD, Abby made honors. In fact, all the major medical groups—including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and National Institutes of Health—recognize ADHD as a condition that should be treated.
Don’t say: “He’s just a boy—he’ll grow out of it”
Parents of children with ADHD and other SPDs have been to pediatricians and specialists to come to a diagnosis. These comments undermine the reality of the condition and second-guess expert opinions. (Related: Learn these signs that your energetic toddler might have ADHD.)
Don’t say: “She’s like this because you’re not strict enough”
Brittany Berry-Hill, parent to a child with ADHD, often receives comments like, “He only needs meds because you don’t whoop him.” Hitting a child is never the answer. This is especially true because ADHD also often presents with emotional hypersensitivity, meaning the physical act of spanking can lead to more intense emotional hurt. William Dodson, MD, a Colorado-based psychiatrist who works with children with ADHD agrees that spanking a child with ADHD is never a good idea because, “She can’t make use of that experience and conform her behavior next time.”
Don’t say: “But all kids have those issues some of the time”
While it’s true that no child is 100 percent focused and attentive all the time, it’s at a different level when a child has ADHD or another sensory processing disorder. Robin Baker, whose child has an SPD, explains, “I understand the sentiment behind it, but it’s not particularly comforting when I’m emotionally exhausted from trying to be her support.”
Don’t say: “You have created a monster”
Blaming the parents for a child’s medical condition is unfair and hurtful. Sarahlynn Wilson says she is often blamed for her son’s tantrums. “People act like I deserve it for some karmatic reason, I don’t raise him right, I don’t discipline, or I made him this way. He’s been like this literally from day one. And I’ve tried everything,“ she says. “It’s important to remember that ADHD is not your fault or the effect of bad parenting,” says Edward Hallowell, MD, one of the leading experts on ADHD. “ADHD is a neuropsychiatric condition.” (Related: Here are myths about ADHD you probably get wrong.)
Don’t say: “How could you medicate your child?”
Kalina Gersbeck made the decision to medicate her child after her son’s ADHD diagnosis. A friend she confided in questioned her decision. “You put your kid on medication because you can’t control him? Way to parent,” she criticized. The decision to medicate is a difficult one, and often all these alternatives have already been tried or at least considered. Commenting is not necessary.
Don’t say: “Try meds”
Christina Thompson, who has a son with a high level of ADHD, tried everything before deciding to medicate her son. While she is thrilled with how her son is responding to the ADHD medication, she is unhappy with the comments she has received on both ends of the medication decision. “As parents we will do what’s best for our children. That looks different for each child and family. We need to support one another as a community not break one another down. What I really need is encouraging words, support, friendship and resources.” Ashlee Krump agrees. “A lot of people don’t understand that there’s a spectrum either. So people often think it’s just a blanket diagnosis with one treatment. But it isn’t. And every family has to make the best treatment decisions for them.”
Don’t say: “I don’t know how you do it”
While the sentiment behind this comment may be in the right place, it can come off as belittling the child—making the child seem like a | [

Late last night, reports surfaced that Karan Johar had become a single father to a pair of twins through surrogacy last month. Later, the ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ director confirmed the news by offering a statement on his Twitter profile. Karan expressed his gratitude to the surrogate who helped fulfil his “lifelong dream” and that she will always remain in his prayers. The baby boy is named Yash after Karan’s father, and the girl will be called Roohi, a rearrangement of his mother’s name Hiroo.
Last night, news broke that KJo has become a dad. The babies were reportedly born on February 7 and their births were registered on Friday, according to Dr Padmaja Keskar, Executive Health Officer of the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation).
The director today took to Twitter to give his statement on the matter. He wrote, “I feel enormously blessed to be a parent to these pieces of my heart who were welcomed into this world with the help of the marvels of medical science,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, the filmmaker’s close friend Shah Rukh Khan also expressed his joy. When he was asked about Karan becoming a father at the Mijwan Summer 2017 fashion show, he said, “It’s a personal moment. Let’s respect the privacy. Of course we all are very happy.”
Soon enough, congratulations and best wishes started pouring in from celebrities, all across Twitter. From Alia Bhatt to Varun Dhawan and Priyanka Chopra to Sonakshi Sinha, various personalities from the film world only had the best things to say to Karan Johar.

Partners in Time: Boundless Notes, Part II
Canadian organist Gayle h. Martin’s follow-up album to Partners in Time, Part I (2015) continues to explore works by J.S. Bach and Dietrich Buxtehude, while taking listeners on an even more adventurous journey. This album includes works inspired by Bach and Buxtehude from Mendelssohn, Franz Liszt and Peter Eben.
Classical Music Sentinel
Now here is a collection of organ music that is both stylistically and conceptually sensical. Most compilations always seem to contain a couple of pieces that sound out of place, and therefore break the logical or intended musical thread. But here the very apt Partners in Time title suggests a common timeline relationship. Buxtehude influenced Bach. He in turn influenced his son C. P. E. Bach who then paved the way for Mendelssohn. Franz Liszt admired J. S. Bach so much that he composed a monumental work based on his name. And to tie it all off, Petr Eben (1929-2007) composed a very impressive tip of the hat to Buxtehude, which closes the circle of time.
Eben’s Hommage à Buxtehude is a brilliant 20th century work for organ that draws heavily on Buxtehude’s motifs, but fast forward’s them 300 years by applying distant harmonies and setting multiple and odd rhytmic sequences concurrently. It’s the complexity of it all that makes this piece worthwhile, and organist Gayle h. Martin gives it just the right élan and rhytmic momentum to pull it off and display its technical prowess as well as her own. It goes without saying, but the Buxtehude and Bach pieces on this new recording are great examples of the Baroque style and always push a pipe organ’s qualities to the forefront. And of course the Prelude and Fugue on BACH by Franz Liszt is the perfect example of the romantic ideal, always seeking new expressive avenues. I’m surprised its opening 20 seconds isn’t used in horror movies more often.
The 1965 Casavant Organ at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, is a relatively small instrument consisting of two manuals and only 23 stops, but University Organist and Associate Professor Gayle h. Martin, through clever registration, brings out all of its qualities and makes it sound twice its size. It has a well balanced set of stops that make it an ideal instrument for music from the Renaissance to today, and Martin’s dynamic playing brings it to life. Leaf Music’s audio recording is very good, and sits the listener at the proper distance from the organ loft, as well as capturing the room’s size and acoustics.

A brief history
Château Moulin de Lagnet is located in the Saint-Emilion appellation area, in the commune of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, 1.5 km north-east of the village of Saint-Emilion.
Taking over of the family estate with 3 hectares of vineyards.
De 1984 à 2000
Renewal of the estate: replanting of the parcels, restructuring of the plots of land, renewal and restructuring of the buildings. The estate slowly covers 9 hectares of vineyards for an annual production of 44000 bottles. Right from 1984, our permanent aim is turned towards an excellent quality of our wine: make the soils live, master the yield and vines’ vigour, hand-made harvesting followed by a serious sorting of the grapes, maturing in french oak barrels.
Respect of nature, of the soils, of the vineyard, of the wine and of the future generations are the main principles which have always guided us in our project. That’s why we have choosen the certified organic agriculture.
Olivier Chatenet, our eldest son, joined us to bring his personal approach, testing new processes: green manure, visual selection of the most robust vineplants (massale selection), respectful pruning of the flows of sap (Poussard pruning), drastic reduction of sulfites, Cure the vine by plants, (phytotherapy) and a bio-dynamic approach. | [

As the name suggests, the branch office is setup by a foreign company in India to carry out local activity for its foreign business entity. The foreign company can have revenue flowing in from the Indian branch office only from the activities allowed by the Reserve Bank of India; it has to meet all its expenses of Indian office through remittances from the Head office or through the revenue generated from the Indian operation permitted by the Reserve Bank of India.
The application for branch office Licenses is approved by the RBI, but as per the recent changes the applications for BRANCH office are routed through the Authorized Dealers (AD). Due to this the timeline for setting up the BRANCH office has increased tremendously. Further the documentation required for the same has also increased to a great extent.
The Application has to be made to RBI through Authorized Dealer Category-1 Bank in India.
RBI will allot a UIN (Unique Identification Number) on approval of application.
Once approved the intimation has to be given to Registrar of Companies (ROC) and Director General of Police (DGP).
An application has to be sent to the Income Tax Department to allot Permanent Account Number (PAN).

We’ve worked with CFO Affairs from the very early stages of our business, through to established startup, and then scale up. They have been a one stop solution to our start up needs, understanding our core activities, suggesting us the most appropriate entity, advising us on the mandatory registrations & permissions to be obtained. Their work has been invaluable to us and I would unreservedly recommend them!
As a startup company we were incurring costs in the set up of our business. CFO Affairs helped us with an interesting expense budgeting & business plan along with setting up of the entire work flow, invoicing, accounting and compliance system in place. The execution by their team was the best! We were relieved of so much work load and responsibilities! I personally recommend CFO Affairs to one & all! We will stay associated with you guys!
This is good news for me that the company is now incorporated. I would like to thank CFO Affairs and all its staff members involved in the incorporation process. CFO Affairs has been very punctual and thorough in all the documentation process. I am sure, it would have taken a lot more time for me to manage this stuff by myself, thanks to CFO Affairs, they managed it all for me.
The expertise at CFO Affairs is really broad and at the same time they have great specialists amongst them, giving access to advice that is current and in line with changing trends and norms. They have been awesome when it comes to delivering on time, proactively providing expert support to so many facets of our early strategies and management & an insightful and attentive partner.

Lord of the Rings - everyone's favourite read
What are Australia's favourite books? They are the same as Britain's, with J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings at No.1, and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice at No.2.
The ABC program My Favourite Book, aired last night, followed a similar format to the BBC's The Big Read, screened in December last year. Both asked people to vote for their favourite books, with the same titles taking out the top two slots.
From there, the lists diverge a little. Third on the Australian list was the Bible - not even in the top 100 in Britain - followed by Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird (No.6 in Britain).
Overall, Australian books were poorly represented, but Tim Winton secured his place as the nation's favourite author, with Cloudstreet the highest-rated Australian book at No.5. He also had more titles in the top 100 than any of his compatriots, with Dirt Music at 11 and The Riders at 69.
George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four was No.7 (No.8 in Britain) followed by Douglas Adams's The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (No.4 in Britain).
Joseph Heller's Catch 22 was No.9 (11 in Britain).
The only other Australian book to make our final cut was A. B. Facey's A Fortunate Life at No.10.
Children's books and books studied at high school (Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Catcher in the Rye all made the top 20) did well, as did anything made into a film or television show.
All five Harry Potter books made the top 100, as did C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (No.18), Tolkien's The Hobbit (26), and Frank Herbert's Dune (24).
Absent from our top 100 were many of many of the big names in Australian writing. There were no titles by Henry Lawson, Patrick White or Thomas Keneally.
Also notable was the under-representation of biography, autobiography and non-fiction. | [

Officials from the Atomic Agency council have told parliament Natural Resource Committee that Mulago hospital is operating the cancer radiotherapy machine without license.
The Atomic Energy Council is under the ministry of Energy and Mineral Development.
It is responsible for issuing, authorising and grant exemption for the possession, use of radiation sources and conducting inspections to assess radiation safety and security conditions in compliance with law.
The council officials while appearing before the committee to present its budget for the 2016/17 financial year said they can’t grant Mulago a new license before the hospital addresses safety issues raised.
“Mulago is operating the cancer machine illegally. The licence expired. Its Ugx 800,000 per year,” Parliament Watch quoted one of the council officials.
“We could not give Mulago a new licence without addressing the safety measures we raised.”
The official noted that Radiation workers in Mulago are not being monitored yet they are being exposed.
“We visited Mulago in 2013 and we found out that the cancer machine was not in good conditions…We found out that the cancer machine in Mulago used to get stack. It had to be operated manually,” the official added.
In the recent days, media was awash with stories of the radiotherapy machine breakdown. | [

Natalya vs Nikki A.S.H. Then, it's time for Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox show up on the ramp and fire a cannon from their tank at the champions. When WWE manages to piss me off even having Nattie, Rhea and Shotzi in the same segment...
there's a problem. SmackDown kicked off with a segment between Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch. Soon after, the two got into a brawl, and Belair dropped the champion with the Kiss of Death. The two superstars will meet at Extreme Rules for a SmackDown Women's Championship match.
Seth Rollins also appeared on the episode and threatened to find Edge in his home. It was later announced that Edge would make his return on next week's show.
Nikki A.S.H. defeated Natalya
Now that they're Women's Tag Team Champions, Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H.
are the only stars on the roster who can freely move between RAW and SmackDown. Nikki A.S.H. faced Natalya on SmackDown and walked out victorious. While a tag team title rematch should ideally conclude the rivalry, WWE wasted no time in moving on.
The relative newcomers Tegan Nox and Shotzi Blackhart came out and even took a shot at the new Champions. The WWE Network has moved to NBC’s Peacock streaming service, so people can watch the pay-per-view at the WWE Network at $9.99 per month.
For the people who are subscribed to Peacock’s, they can watch the pay-per-view with a Premium subscription at $5 per month. The 13th edition of the Extreme Rules PPV will air on 26th September from the Nationwide Arena situated in Columbus, Ohio.
The maximum capacity of the Nationwide Arena is to store 20,000 people. WWE veteran Jeff Hardy is also into the mix of the United States Championship. Eventually, the final match card for the PPV looks like this: Universal Championship Match: Finn Balor vs.
Raw Women’s Championship Match: Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair
SmackDown Women’s Championship Match: Bianca Belair vs. Becky Lynch
SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match: The Street Profits vs. The Usos
United States Championship Match: Damian Priest vs.
Liv Morgan vs. Carmella Rick Boogs played Nakamura's theme and pumped him up. The King went on a roll and took down his challenger with some good moves. He went for the Kinshasa soon after, but Crews ducked outside. | [

The county council’s rejection of the utilities department’s request for a sewer rate hike was the right thing to do.
In a 4-3 vote Tuesday night the council rejected a proposed ordinance that would have increased local sewer rates. This is not the time to be burdening people with more expenses.
And it is not like the county is hurting for money, they are pretty much swimming in it right now.
The increase would have provided some $300,000 of revenue for maintenance and building cash reserves.
But this is hard to justify with the money the county has. And considering the state of the economy, increasing an average residential bill to about $45 a month at this time is not appropriate.
It was nice to see Councilor Vincent Chiravalle raise the issue as to why our rates are so much higher than others in the area.
We have no problem with paying for the first-class services we have, but there are limits as to what even the people here can afford.
Again, now is not the time for higher taxes – that will be coming soon from a state and federal government near you.
John Arrowsmith, utility manager, said it was not fair to compare the counties of Santa Fe and Los Alamos because the sewer plant in Santa Fe was paid for with grant money, versus the $13 million loan that Los Alamos County took out to pay for its plant.
But again, that does not wash. And the council was right in taking a slow approach to increases.
We have to agree with Councilor Nona Bowman who said she was very concerned with increasing sewer rates because of the economic problems that the nation is facing.
That is the right approach, and the right thing to do. | [

When planning a rural garden, consider house and garden location, the placement of other structures, elements and services, and good planting design strategies.
Many rural gardens are on larger farming properties surrounded by pasture paddocks and grasses. These can dry rapidly over summer, causing fire to spread from the paddock to the garden.
Other rural gardens are located just outside cities and larger towns. They generally form part of a small ‘farmlet’, with larger productive and/or ornamental gardens.
One of the most effective ways to reduce fire risk in rural sites is to have a defendable space around the house.
Placing farm dams in the direction of the most likely path of a fire provides a fuel-free area and further separation between the bushfire hazard and the house. Dams also form a useful irrigation source for the garden. Keeping plants well hydrated will help reduce heat stress over summer when they often become more flammable.
Planting design solutions in the rural garden include the use of lawns, gravel surfaces and kitchen gardens.
These features ensure there are areas of low fuel directly around the house.
Careful placement of all vegetation in the garden is important. In particular, break up the continuity of fuel available to any fire and provide adequate separation between vegetation and the house. This includes locating trees at least 1.5 times their mature height from the house and locating other plants away from vulnerable areas (such as windows, decks and eaves).
The strategic placement of windbreak trees or hedges outside the defendable space of the house block can reduce wind speed and catch embers produced by the fire. Tree selection should consider low flammability characteristics and good maintenance practices need to be applied.
Effective ways to minimise the spread of fire within the garden is by using irrigated, well-spaced orchard trees and good separation of plantings throughout the garden. This can also be achieved with vertical and horizontal separation of garden plantings. In particular, separation between shrubs and trees will remove ladder fuels and break up direct fuel corridors to the house.
EXAMPLE: RURAL MODEL GARDEN
The garden and home paddock design aims to reduce spread of a grassfire to the house from surrounding paddocks and properties. It also aims to limit the spread of fire within the garden to the house.
In this garden example, the most likely direction of fire is from the north-west. However, fire can spread from any of the paddocks surrounding the house. Therefore, landscaping for bushfire design principles should be applied throughout.
The farm dam is placed in the most likely direction of the fire. The front lawn, tennis court, front driveway, turning circle, and kitchen garden all provide further separation and areas of low fuel between the fire hazard and the house.
A mass planting of irrigated ornamental orchard trees acts as a windbreak and helps provide protection from ember attack in the home paddock. Shrub masses between the house and these trees are ornamental and are kept away from the tree canopies to prevent them acting as ladder fuels. There is also good separation provided between the shrub beds to break up the spread of fire.
Planting has been kept away from the house with lawn and gravel paths. Planting near the driveway softens the view from the house with low succulent plants. These are also planted away from vulnerable areas of the house. Decks around the house are replaced with non-flammable materials, such as concrete and steel.
Densely planted windbreaks are provided on the southern and western boundaries outside the defendable space. While these are common features on rural properties, choosing low flammable species in this example reduces the fire risk.
The shed with chemical stores, clothes line and fire wood are all located well away from the house. Non-combustible water tanks (concrete or corrugated iron) are fed off the roof of the shed and may provide an additional water source during a fire. Grapes and berry plants are located at the rear of the property near the shed and are kept well watered over the summer months to reduce their flammability.
Plants chosen for the model garden have been selected for their firewise properties.
In the orchard, a mixed collection of small fruiting trees have irrigated lawn beneath.
They include Prunus avium (Sweet Cherry), Prunus salicina (Japanese Plums) and Prunusdomestica (European Plums). All are trained to an open form and maintained with their lower branches pruned to provide separation.
A small, decorative tree Arbutus x andrachnoides (Hybrid Strawberry Tree) is located in the lawn turning circle. With smooth bark, an open habit, attractive flowers and form, this display specimen is easily viewed from the house.
At the outer perimeter of the home paddock on two sides are windbreak plantings. | [

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to physiological sensors. More specifically, the present invention relates to a sensor assembly and system adapted to improve sensor utility by storing information representative of multiple characteristics of the sensor, patient and application within a memory of the sensor assembly.
Non-invasive physiological monitoring is a common means for testing, detecting, and treating a physiological condition. Typically, non-invasive monitoring techniques such as pulse oximetry, electrocardiography (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG), and ultrasonic imaging, to name a few, require that a sensor be placed in direct contact with a patient undergoing the procedure.
Pulse oximetry involves the non-invasive monitoring of oxygen saturation level in blood-perfused tissue indicative of certain vascular conditions. Pulse oximetry is typically used to measure various blood flow characteristics including, but not limited to, the blood-oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in arterial blood, the volume of individual blood pulsations supplying the tissue, and the rate of blood pulsations corresponding to each heartbeat of a patient. Measurement of these characteristics has been accomplished by use of a non-invasive sensor which passes light through a portion of the patient's tissue where blood perfuses the tissue, and photoelectrically senses the absorption of light in such tissue. The amount of light absorbed is then used to calculate the amount of blood constituent being measured. Oxygen saturation may be calculated using some form of the classical absorption equation know as Beer's law.
The light passed through the tissue is typically selected to be of one or more wavelengths that are absorbed by the blood in an amount representative of the amount of the blood constituent present in the blood. The amount of transmitted light passed through the tissue will vary in accordance with the changing amount of blood constituent in the tissue and the related light absorption. For measuring blood oxygen level, such sensors have been provided with light sources and photodetectors that are adapted to operate at two different wavelengths, in accordance with known techniques for measuring blood oxygen saturation.
Known sensors include an optical oximeter probe which uses a pair of light emitting diodes (LEDs) to direct light through blood-perfused tissue, with a detector picking up light which has not been absorbed by the tissue. The operation depends upon knowing the wavelength of the LEDs. Since the wavelength of LEDs can vary, a coding resistor can be placed in the probe with the value of the resistor corresponding to the actual wavelength of at least one of the LEDs. When the oximeter instrument is turned on, it first applies a current to the coding resistor and measures the voltage to determine the value of the resistor and thus the value of the wavelength of the LED in the probe. U.S. Pat. No. 4,700,708 discloses such an encoding mechanism.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,259,381 recognizes that the coded value of the wavelength of the red LED provided by a coding resistor may be inaccurate, since the actual wavelength can vary with temperature. Accordingly, this patent teaches including a temperature sensor in the oximeter probe to measure the actual temperature. With the actual temperature, and the coded wavelength value, a look-up table can be consulted to determine the actual LED wavelength for that temperature.
Another method of storing coded information regarding the characteristics of the LEDs is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,942,877. This patent discloses using an EPROM memory to store digital information which can be provided in parallel or serially from the sensor probe to the remote oximeter. The memory is described as storing coefficients for the saturation equation, wavelength, subwavelength (secondary emission), half-width of wavelength spectrum emitted by LED, intensity of LEDS or ratio, and on time of LEDS (written by the processor).
Other examples of coding probe characteristics exist in other areas. Multiple calibration values are sometimes required, with this making the circuitry more complex or requiring many leads. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,446,715, assigned to Camino Laboratories, Inc., a number of resistors are used to provide coded information regarding the characteristics of a pressure transducer. U.S. Pat. No. 3,790,910 discloses another pressure transducer with a ROM storing characteristics of the individual transducer. U.S. Pat. No. 4,303,984 shows another probe with digital characterization information stored in a PROM, which is read serially using a shift register. Typically, the coding element is mounted in the probe itself. For instance, U.S. Pat. No. 4,621,643 shows the coding resistor mounted in the probe element itself. In addition, U.S. Pat. No. 5,246,003 shows the coding resistor being formed with a printed conductive material on the probe itself.
In some devices, an electrical connector coupled by a cable to a device attached to a patient may include a coding element. For example, U.S. Pat. No | [

Sun Light, Star Light…
Everyone is familiar with light. We could see nothing without light. Light waves illuminate, to varying degrees. The human eye can detect the light from a single candle, one candle power, in total darkness, at one million miles, and humans have poor eyesight compared to some other species. Light waves are produced by bio-luminescence, our Sun and all Stars, and artificially, or man-made. The one thing they all have in common is light waves, but only Stars emit light particles.
A light particle is a hydrogen atom, spewed out by all Stars. Light particles do not emit light waves. When a light particle impacts something, it explodes, emitting a light wave and heat energy. It’s equivalent to a single atom hydrogen bomb. If you’ve ever been outside, in direct sun light, you can feel the heat from the detonation of the hydrogen atoms on your bare skin. Too much Sun and you
get burned, a solar radiation burn, and possibly skin cancer. Natural light waves do not have the ability to cause a burn or skin cancer. Humans have concentrated light waves, which can cut through steel; I’m referring to laser light, but these are not natural light waves.
A light particle has kinetic energy and potential energy and after impact, it is no longer a particle and has a different kinetic energy. It’s like a hand grenade or fragmentation grenade. Pull the pin, throw the grenade. En route to the target, the grenade has kinetic energy, and inside it has potential energy. When the grenade detonates, it no longer is a grenade. The potential energy is released, becoming kinetic energy. If you don’t pull the pin, the grenade will not detonate. It’s the same with a light particle. If it doesn’t impact another particle, it remains a hydrogen atom. A hydrogen atom entering the Earth’s atmosphere will be slowed by friction and gravity and if it doesn’t impact anything, it will remain a hydrogen atom.
Light particles, hydrogen atoms spewed from our Sun, that don’t impact other particles, and by-pass the inner planets, are absorbed by the gas giant planets as they orbit our Sun. This has been happening since the formation of the planets. Jupiter will eventually reach critical mass, becoming a secondary Star, and we will have a short lived binary star system, compared to a primary Star, which is formed in a stellar nursery.
Light waves travel at 186,000 miles per second, but light particles travel at about 360 miles per second. I arrived at this speed because a Solar Mass Ejection takes approximately three days to travel the 93 million miles, from the Sun to the Earth. Light particles do not have the speed necessary to avoid being captured or detonated by one of the many celestial bodies in our solar system. Only light
waves leave our solar system, for the most part, and we can only detect light waves from other Stars.
The massive amount of light waves and heat produced by our Sun is from the massive amount of hydrogen atoms striking other hydrogen atoms while still on the Sun, and from the violent fission reactions, of the Sun, produced by a Natural Uranium chain reaction, creating all natural elements, after reaching critical mass at its inception, then constantly expelling undetonated hydrogen atoms, light particles, and other elements. Our Sun is converting matter to energy, in a nuclear fission reaction. | [

White Sox Lose Peavy For Year
By Benjy Lipsman in News on Jul 8, 2010 3:00PM
Jake Peavy left Tuesday's White Sox - Angels game in the second inning with a back injury, and the news does not sound good for the Sox pitcher acquired in a high profile trade last season. The initial diagnosis following an MRI on Wednesday is a detachment of the latissimus dorsi muscle in his back. I didn't know what that was either, but when I asked my physical therapy student wife, she winced at the thought of such an injury. Which may explain why Peavy will be consulting with the likes of sports orthopedic surgeons James Andrews and Lewis Yocum to determine the best course of action. Surgery looks likely for the right hander to repair the reattach the muscle. And the injury will most likely sideline Peavy for the rest of the 2010 season.
The loss of Peavy could have a huge effect on the Sox playoff hopes. Having stormed back into the hunt in the AL Central in recent weeks, Peavy was a big reason why. While he got off to a rough start this season, he'd sported a 1.67 ERA in his last six starts. Now the Southsiders are likely to bring up Daniel Hudson, who has already win 11 games for Triple-A Charlotte. He also appeared with the Sox last fall, posting a 1-1 record and a 3.38 ERA. While impressive stats, can he fill Peavy's shoes? Sox fans certainly hope so. | [

No matter how wonderful and perfect your beloved husband seemed before you got married, marriage does a funny thing to people. It changes them. It brings out their best parts and also their worst.
Suddenly, that handsome stud you couldn’t get enough of during your dating days is grinding on your last nerves and you’re contemplating smothering him in his sleep with a pillow… except that you’d have to watch the kids yourself and that would stink.
(No, I don’t really want to smother my husband–I like snuggling him too much–but sometimes I joke that he might want to do that to me! 🙂 )
The truth is, no matter how much you love your husband, there will always be things about him that you want to change. It’s not that you don’t love him–just that you want what’s best for him, and sometimes, can’t we just see that a little better than they can?
(Of course, the same could be said in return, but that’s a discussion for another day!)
Sometimes, the things we want to change are pretty trivial. He leaves his socks on the floor. He constantly leaves the kitchen cupboards open. He eats in bed. He snores. He doesn’t change the toilet paper roll.
But what happens when the things we want to change are significant? When they are spiritual things?
The truth is, every one of us could benefit from finding ways to grow in faith, and husbands are no exception. And as wives, we are in the prime position to recognize EXACTLY those areas where our husbands need to grow, and care enough to say something about it.
After all, we care and we only want what’s best–right?
But the problem is–while there are certainly times when it is necessary to speak the truth in love, especially if your husband is caught up in sin, there are also just as many times when our best course of action is simply to keep our mouths shut!
There is a Holy Spirit–and you’re not him!
So the next time your husband is making what you deem to be poor spiritual decisions–whether he’s sinning or he’s neglecting to grow–here are five things you need to keep in mind.
1. You are Responsible for Yourself
Whether your husband is making good choices or bad choices, the fact is: he’s a grown man who is entitled to make them. You can politely express your concern, but you cannot force him to do things your way, and you shouldn’t try. We all make mistakes and learn from them, and your husband is entitled to do the same.
If he doesn’t want to go to church, doesn’t want to read his Bible, doesn’t seem interested in praying–that’s HIS choice.
What you CAN do, however, is to make sure you are making the best decisions yourself. Set a positive example. Pray. It may not seem like much, but making the right decisions yourself is often the most powerful thing you can do.
“Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.” –1 Peter 3:1-2
**Please note: If your husband’s behavior is harmful to others, it is okay to take measure to protect yourself and others. There are times when divorce is okay. If you or someone you know is being abused in any way: get help!
2. He Might Not Know How to Lead
If the problem in your marriage is that your husband is failing to be the spiritual leader of your home, understand that he might not know how. Men who don’t grow up with good examples of spiritual leaders often don’t know what is expected of them, and even if they do, their way of leading might be different than the way you expect.
Instead of stewing quietly, viewing him as a failure, have a friendly conversation with him about what spiritual leadership means to him and do a lot more listening than talking.
Once you understand where he is coming from, politely let him know your dreams for what your family’s spiritual life could be like–understanding that they’re just that–dreams. If he listens to your opinions and has no interest in them, again, that’s his choice.
3. You Might Be Sabotaging His Efforts
Unfortunately, many husbands would love to be the spiritual leader of their families, but they aren’t able to because their wives get in the way. Do you ever criticize his decisions or insist on making important decisions yourself, even unknowingly? Many husbands desperately want to please their wives, and as a result, will often turn into peac | [

ISPM 15 affects all wood packaging material requiring that they be debarked and then heat treated.
What is the basis for the regulation?
Wood originating from living or dead trees may be infested by pests. Wood packaging material is frequently made of raw wood that may not have undergone sufficient processing or treatment to remove or kill pests. For this reason, the ISMP 15 standard describes internationally accepted measures that may be applied to wood packaging material by all countries to significantly reduce the risk introduction and spread of most quarantine pests that may be associated with that material.
For additional information on the measure please visit the IPPC website
We are proud to supply bespoke crates, certified to the ISPM 15 measure. Get in touch with Lynn or Stuart today on 01254 681177 for more information, or to get a quote! | [
