Reetha creates a lather with water that is effective in cleaning dirt, oil and product buildup from your hair.

Shikakai translates to 'fruit for hair,' and rightly so. It acts as a natural conditioner, thanks to its saponins, vitamins, and antioxidants.Shikakai is a cooling herb that relieves scalp irritation. Dry, unhealthy scalps have an impact on hair growth.

The Messerschmitt P.1101 was a single-seat, single-jet fighter project developed in response to the 15 July 1944 Emergency Fighter Program, which sought the second generation of jet fighters for the Third Reich. A characteristic feature of the P.1101 prototype was that the sweep of the wings could be changed before flight, a feature further developed in later variable-sweep aircraft such as the Bell X-5 and Grumman XF10F Jaguar.
Design and development
Within nine days of the 15 July 1944 issuance of the design specifications for the Emergency Fighter, the Messerschmitt design bureau under Dr. Woldemar Voigt had formed a preliminary paper design for the P.1101. The aircraft which was developed initially had a short and wide fuselage, tricycle landing gear, and mid-mounted wings with an inner sweep of 40° near the fuselage, and a shallower 26° outboard. The single HeS 011jet engine was to be mounted internally within the fuselage, being aspirated by two rounded intakes located on either side of the cockpit. The high tail was of a V configuration, and mounted on a tapered boom which extended over and past the jet exhaust, while the cockpit was forward mounted, with the canopy integrated into the fuselage and forming part of the rounded nose of the aircraft. | [

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) provides minimum requirements for storage of controlled substances for practitioners to prevent diversion or theft of controlled substances, and these guidelines are generally seen as best practice for all medications. Controlled substances must be stored in a securely locked cabinet of “substantial construction”. The DEA provides more details on what they mean by “substantial construction” on their website:
Even though the Federal regulations do not specifically define locked cabinet construction, the intent of the law is that controlled substances must be adequately safeguarded. Therefore, depending on other security measures, a wooden cabinet may or may not be considered adequate. In an area with a high crime rate, a strong metal cabinet or safe may be required.
Some of the factors considered when evaluating a practitioner’s controlled substances security include :
- The number of employees, customers and/or patients who have access to the controlled substances.
- The location of the registrant (high or low crime area).
- Use of an effective alarm system.
- Quantity of controlled substances to be kept on hand.
- Prior history of theft or diversion.
Please consult the DEA website for more information. It is also recommended that you consult your state and local requirements as they may differ from the federal regulations.
If you have any specific questions about medication storage or PharmaLink’s services, or if you’re ready to get started please contact us and a representative will be in touch with you shortly. | [

A baby dolphin was rescued in Japan after being dumped in a rice field by a giant tsunami that hit the coast on 11 March. Taira found the dolphin struggling in the shallow seawater and waded in to the field to cradle the weak 1.2-metre animal in his arms. It was then wrapped in wet towels and taken back to the sea where it was set free. The dolphin appeared to perk up when it was back in the Pacific. ‘I dont know if it will live, but it’s certainly a lot better than dying in a rice paddy,’ Taira told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper. | [

The song refers to a race meeting at Blaydon, Gateshead on 9 June 1862, describing the hazardous journey to the course.The annual Blaydon Races and Fair was a major event on Tyneside in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The attractions shown in this well-known and much loved painting include a large open carriage pulled by a team of white horses, men demonstrating acrobatics or boxing, and a sweet stall. The picture was painted by the Newcastle artist William Irving, who included many local characters in it. Towards the front of the picture, 'Gull Willie of Newburn' is being tricked by the card cheat, the 'Swalwell Cat'. Filled with boisterous activity and fascinating detail, the characters in the world famous Geordie anthem, 'The Blaydon Races' are brought to life in this unforgettable painting.

Dogs are wonderful creatures that are born swimmers and love to play in the water and enjoy the coolness water brings them. Just as humans have life jackets to protect them, they mustn't have a life jacket of their own. Hence, some thoughtful person created dog raincoats. A dog raincoat is a sustainable and reliable accessory that dogs can wear to gloat easily in water and protect them from drowning in any case. Dog raincoats enable dog owners to keep an eye on their pets and grab or save the dog in case of any mishap. Dog raincoats are secure and provide dogs safety while they have their fun in the water.
Several companies manufacture fog raincoats in bright colors to ensure the dog's visibility at all times is high; they even add reflective accents on these coats to ensure that the dog is visible at night. Many raincoats include a neoprene belly band to offer support to the dog's chest and belly to provide them with a comfortable swim session. There is also a dual-handle attached to the top of the raincoat that allows the owner to gain easy access to rescue and restraint their dog in the water and land.
Many companies design and manufacture dog raincoats in various sizes. Numerous companies produce products in XS to XL sizes to endure that all dogs can wear the raincoat. These products get made with keeping the dog's birth in mind; it doesn't matter if the dog is short and stout or long and tall; all coats are sized by the dog's circumference endure that there is a raincoat for every dog.
How does this product help dogs?
Dog raincoats are great safety accessories for fogs. The product provides dog safety and protects it from drowning. The accessory is made from raw materials that provide maximum buoyancy to the dog, ensuring that it floats easily. Still, the product restricts the movement, neither in water nor on the ground. With these raincoats, it is easier for the owners to easily get a hold of their dog and save it from mishaps accidents.

Offshore oil and gas production relies on subsea, fixed platforms. In many deep-water projects in remote field locations, floating production storage and offloading (FPSOs) vessels are used. One challenge in harsh operating conditions is rough sea conditions. In the past, time-consuming and expensive physical experiments were required to ensure that vessels can withstand the highest possible sea states without damage. Petrobras uses ANSYS simulation to reduce the number of experiments required and obtain more detailed loading data. | [

While conditions have improved since the inferno that was the summer of 2011, much of Texas remains in serious drought. According the latest U.S. Drought Monitor Map, 88 percent of the state is in some level of drought conditions, with over a quarter of Texas in “extreme” or “exceptional” drought.
And the situation isn’t likely to improve in the near future, according to the latest three-month drought outlook released today by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). That forecast, pictured above, calls for the drought to “persist or intensify” through the end of May, with drought developing in other parts of the state.
If Texas has a dry May and June, it could spell real trouble, putting the state on the path to a multi-year drought worse than the drought of record in the 1950s. “This Spring, getting into May or June, things are set up to do one thing or the other,” state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon told us recently. “So about the time when we’re either getting or not getting rain during the wettest time of the year, is when we’ll find out how the odds are going to stack up for the following winter,” he says.
In short, keep an eye on the skies come May. | [

There are two different groups called De Vrijbuiters. They are both from The Netherlands and often get mixed up.
1. De Vrijbuiters (1969-1985) was a group from Blerick in the southern Dutch province of Limburg, fronted by singer and songwriter Ben Verdellen. They started out as a party orchestra playing cover material, but became a regional legend when they released two LPs of self-penned popular folk songs, sung in the regional dialect in the early 1980s. | [

Rocketeers: How a Visionary Band of Business Leaders, Engineers, and Pilots is Boldy Privatizing Space
In the second space age, human spaceflight is no longer the domain of governments. Dream-chasing entrepreneurs and clever engineers are aggressively blazing new trails into the heavens and preparing the world for an era of space tourism, ultra fast point-to-point earth travel and even orbiting hotels. Having gained inside access into the top private space programs, science journalist Michael Belfiore will share his many insights on the history-making flights, the failures and fatalities, as well as the enduring passion and dreams of the real estate tycoons, dot-com billionaires, a video game programmer and other business mavericks for whom the sky is no longer the limit. They are fueling the highest-flying private rockets ever built, testing vertical dragsters, and preparing to launch an inflatable space station with the mock-up already in earth orbit. Can your ticket to ride be that far behind? | [

Indonesia's hot surfer guys being used to draw tourists.
Country of a Thousand Faces
This a tourism promotion video for Indonesia - seems to be aimed at Australians going on the narrator's accent - the first scene, the surfer guy bit, sort of comes across as a bit weird. I only had the patience to wait for the first minute to load, so there might be more hot surfer guys later on in it, hopefully not though.
Feel free to make up your own "Country of a Thousand... " bylines, it's just asking for it.
What is the problem with surfer guy? “Hot surfer guy”? c’mon….He is not “Brad Pitt” hot, just a normal surfer guy smiling…To persuade people Indonesia is a good place for surfing. In fact most of Australian in Bali are surfer.
This time agree with Mark.
I think most of advertising use “hot guys/girls” thats what advertising for.. attracting peoples.
This time for tourism, and i think i see no problem there, i bet if theres hot six pack Mr surfer there must be pretty girls too on the ads. (Sorry i never seen it before..just wild guess). Just too bad, Indonesian surfer girls is not as much as the boys.
Surfing is not new thing in Indonesia, beside Bali we know people went to Mentawai in Sumatra for have a taste of “small” Indonesia wave. But to promote it more beside the cultures and other things that Indonesia could offer, surfing is a good commodity, i think i heard Bali been chosen several time as home for international scale surfing contest.
So… yeah.. why not?
5 mins 28 seconds of Balinese and Javanese acting out various western middlebrow fantasies related to unspoiled natural Shangri-las. Interestingly, in these tourist video productions one supposedly gets to run the panoramic gamut of Indonesian this and that, but you can be fairly sure there are two things you ain’t never going to see: 1) anything recognisable as a mesjid and 2) a jilbab.
The ‘Malaysia Truly Asia’ do something similar – with (as one would expect) better production values.
Speaking of video production values, if the Indonesian tourism geniuses really wanted to make brilliantly (false) uplifting TV commercials, they should go lean heavily on the various cigarette manufacturers who produce absolutely stunning work with natural scenery.
they should include the faces I had to look at this morning…. a flatbed truck in front of me full of mens faces staring at me…. one was picking his nose….
*who hates getting stuck behind those trucks*
Oh c’mon – it’s a tourist promotion video… I’m originally from Cornwall in the UK, Britain’s answer to Bali… well, kind of… You should see the tourist promo stuff they do for Cornwall… There are, apparently, two acceptable human faces of cornwall for advertising: one is a photogenic old farmer/fisherman with a cheerfully lined and sun-scarred face, and the other is – yes, you’ve guessed it! – a “hot” surfer dude with bleach-blond hair and a six pack! Then there’s beautiful beaches and quaint villages and obviously not a glimpse of the highest non-urban heroin addiction rate in the country, the chronic unemployment or the grimmly deprived post-industrial former mining towns – you wouldn’t expect there to be; the idea is to attract toursits… same goes for the Indonesian one…
Timdog, yes of course you’re right, I was just sort of transfixed by the surfer guy, that turn and smile. (Hint – things I put down underneath the News category aren’t meant to be too serious.)
I know what you mean patung, it was pretty sappy….. slo mo and all…. ;0
Yeah, I know, it’s pretty funny I’ll admit
This surfer guy thing could be for the japanese market, where single women make up a hefty percentage of their tourism market. Beach bums everywhere in south east asia likes to brag about their conquest on these women. Some even end up marrying local beach bums.
Best tourism market, apart from the traditional australians and dutch (which is actually more fond of ARUBA in the carribeans), should be the Koreans, japanese and Chinese. We are talking about a potential of millions of tourist, if only the indonesian makes things more friendly to them, language wise.
Maybe areas should focus on specific tourists. such a Lombok for chinese, with their food and languages written on every brochure, North sulawesi for Korean and Japanese etc. aceh and Mentawaie island/Nias and north | [

Terroir, organic and sustainable viticulture
We believe in sustainable viticulture to preserve the terroir as a precious heritage to be handed over to future generations
For full transparency towards the consumer we certify what we have always done: sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture. In fact, we are proud to produce our wines in a territory where natural colors (brown, green and blue) are predominant. Since the vine is a living subject that follows Nature – year after year, day after day and in any weather – we repeat techniques and tasks in the vineyard that are the same only in name and not in execution following a constant technical update.
Adherence to the National Quality System of Integrated Production (SQNPI) formalizes even more the social pact with the Earth that hosts us; that is the awareness of operating the terroir with great humility and offering a certified healthy and safe product.
Therefore, 2022 marks the beginning of our conversion to organic while maintaining the commitment with the SQNPI certification.
Our main sustainable actions:
- The sowing of herbaceous crops from green manure so as to bring organic plant substance to the soil;
- The controlled management of grassing between the rows;
- The decisive reduction of the use of copper and non-use of insecticides, beyond the mandatory treatments for the containment of some physiopathies (flavescence);
- The insertion of apiaries near the vineyard “L’Orto”. As is known, much literature speaks of the role of bees as a fundamental indicator of the health of a place. In fact, bees are considered “environmental sentinels”;
- Still implementation of preventive measures with the aim of protecting the plant, followed by strict controls;
- Pruning and management of the leaf cover to achieve the right balance between the development of the plant and for better penetration of light and treatments, as well as for effective ventilation of the grapes;
- Maintenance of ditches and dirt roads for water regulation;
- Energy saving thanks to the presence of a photovoltaic system that generates the electricity used for the Company and the Osteria. Still an electric bike charging point is an additional plus;
- Our bottles are sustainable with a weight of about 450 gr. to minimise CO2 emissions even during transport. The caps are also natural and the cartons in our packaging are made of recycled paper. | [

Did You Know? Canning Jars Fit On Blenders!
Are you a fan of canning jars? I sure am. They always look good whether you’re using them for storage, decoration, or for some other functional use. I have more ideas on my “Mason Jar Love” Pinterest Board than I’ll probably ever be able to make.
And ya’ll know I love finding crafty tricks and tips too like putting parmesan cheese lids on canning jars or putting tops of salt containers on canning jars.
And now... I have yet another fun reason to love canning jars.
They fit on blenders!
That’s right, you should be able to screw a regular size mouth canning jar (not the wide mouth variety) right onto your blender.
Of course there are pros and cons to this little trick too.
One of the good things about this strategy is that whatever you’re blending together is already conveniently in a smaller sized container that a lid can be put onto. If you’re making a smoothie, for instance, it’s all ready to go out the door with you in a sturdy container. It’s kind of like Making Your Own Magic Bullet!
The down side is that the container opening is on the bottom, rather than a usual blender container with the opening on the top. When it comes time to unscrew the container with the blended stuff inside it, you have to be a little clever and careful about it, but it’s still pretty easy.
Here’s the method I used to put a canning jar on a blender. I put the rubber gasket ring on my canning jar opening first, and then put the blade on next, laying it over the ring with the blades inside the jar.
Next I screwed on the “collar” and then everything was ready to be screwed onto the blender base. (These photos were simply How-To photos, and normally your jar would already have the contents to be blended inside)
So what caused me to start putting canning jars on blenders anyway?
I was blending up some homemade sweetened condensed milk that turned out just beautifully.
That recipe is coming up next!
Click here for the recipe: Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipe
This blew my mind when I learned it. It’s best for salad dressings, which are always messy and you end up washing out so much tastiness if you use the blender jar.
This was also one of the sad parts of buying my blendtec blender, which doesn’t fit 🙁
I still have my old blender which I’m using for homemade things and industrial applications like soaps!
What I want to know is how to make your own sweetened condensed milk!!! ( Please ) | [

Hai. I have a doubt that whether cancer survived patients can donate blood for htose who is in need?
Cancer survivors may be able to donate blood at times when they are out of therapy for more than a year. Yet there are situations, such as with leukemias and lymphomas and more, where donating is not considered safe for those who would receive the blood at any time after treatment.
Also long after cancer treatment has been completed, cancer fatigue is true, and many cancer survivors remember that they continue to feel exhausted for many years after treatment has been complete. After so long being in the “receiving” mode, many people want to “give back” even while still coping with these late treatment effects.
The risk of blood transfusion transmitting cancer is primarily theoretical; no reports have been made of people getting cancer from a blood transfusion. But the fact that cancer has been transmitted through organ transplants in rare cases has resulted in guidelines restricting adults who have had cancers associated with the blood.
Even if cancer cells were present in donated blood, the cells would be destroyed by the person’s immune system getting the blood. One possible exception could be transfusion recipients with weakened immune systems, who may not be able to fight off the cancer cells.
Because of this slight possibility, people whose cancer is thought to grow or spread are not permitted to donate blood for themselves. | [

Rural Water Wells Attentions
1, Select appropriate well type
The well types of water source wells are divided into deep wells, large wells, counterpart pumping wells, foreign wells, and small-diameter tube wells. In areas with abundant deep groundwater, it is appropriate to drill deep wells. In areas with abundant shallow groundwater, it is appropriate to drill large wells, counterpart pumping or small-diameter tube wells.
2, Reasonable well layout
The location and layout of wells shall be reasonably arranged according to the local actual hydro geological conditions. If there is no hydro geological data, refer to the existing water source wells around as the basis for the layout of wells. In areas where shallow groundwater is not abundant, shallow wells should not be drilled blindly; In areas with abundant shallow groundwater, it is suitable for farmers to build their own shallow wells, but the well hole layout should not be too dense to avoid the interaction between adjacent water source wells.
3, Configure appropriate water pump
After the well is completed, measure the water level of the water outlet well and the corresponding water output according to the drainage condition of the drilling machine, and then determine the total head of the water pump according to the height difference from the ground to the dynamic water level and the irrigation method you adopt, and the required working head of the water pump. The flow of the water pump shall not exceed the water flow through the well. The corresponding water pump shall be purchased on the premise of the above two items.

- New York City's Upper East Side has a hidden neighborhood on East End Avenue where many of the city's richest live.
- Celebrities like Debra Messing and Ricky Martin reside in the area, dubbed 'the suburb of the Upper East Side.'
- Rumor has it the Obamas may be moving in soon.
New York's Upper East Side has long been synonymous with the city's moneyed elite, a century before new towers like 15 Central Park West and One57 became en vogue addresses for the world's millionaires and billionaires.
While Park Avenue and 5th Avenue have always been the most desirable Upper East Side addresses, the neighborhood has a third coveted street known only to those in the know — East End Avenue.
Only 11 blocks long and nestled against the East River, East End has become a secluded neighborhood of its own, one that residents call 'the suburb of the Upper East Side.'
The hidden neighborhood has been the home of heiresses, celebrities, politicians, and billionaires including New York royalty Vincent Astor, Club Monaco founder Joseph Mimram, singer Ricky Martin, baseball player Johan Santana, hedge-funder Arvind Sanger, and actress Debra Messing.
Rumor has it that Barack and Michelle Obama may be buying an apartment in the former building of heiress Gloria Vanderbilt in the neighborhood.
East End Avenue is an 11-block tree-lined stretch next to the East River on the Upper East Side. The quiet street is lined with buildings from the 1920s and 1930s. "It is one of the last true neighborhoods in the city," Baquero said.
Built in 1928, 25 East End Avenue was one of the first buildings on the street. It has only 39 apartments over 15 floors, with sales prices usually ranging between $2 million and $5 million.
"The people who live here never sell. If they sell, it's to upgrade for better views or a bigger apartment," said Baquero. "They never move out of the area because they feel like they will never find this anywhere else in the city."
The newest building on the block is Baquero's recently opened 20 East End, which was designed by architect Robert A.M. Stern, who designed 15 Central Park West, one of the most coveted addresses in New York.
20 East End has been built with inspiration from many of the Gilded Age buildings in the area. Everything in the building is custom-made, like the flooring here, which is Royal Danby marble, the same stone used on the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The apartments in the building range from $10 million to upwards of $35 million. This 5,000 square-foot five bedroom apartment is selling for $15.5 million.
20 East End takes much of its inspiration from 120 East End Avenue, a building constructed by billionaire Vincent Astor. The building was the first to cater to the ultra-rich in the neighborhood. Similar construction followed after 120 East End was completed.
Source: The New York Times
Apartments in 120 East End were typically palatial. One unit on the 15th floor has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and seven servants' rooms. "The apartments in there are big, big, big," said Baquero.
One of the most attractive parts about the neighborhood is its proximity to the East River. Many residents walk their dogs or watch the boats go by on John Finley Walk.
The walk sits above the FDR Drive parkway. According to Baquero, the East River used to extend up to the buildings on the right, many of which had marinas and yacht landings for the residents.
The area is home to some of the most prestigious schools in the city, like The Brearley School, an all-girls prep school. Some of the school's most famous former students include diplomat Caroline Kennedy, actress Tea Leoni, former publisher of the New York Post Dorothy Schiff, and actress Kyra Sedgewick.
One of the area's most famous buildings is 10 Gracie Square, the one-time home of heiress and fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt (also CNN anchor Anderson Cooper's mother). Rumor has it that Barack and Michelle Obama have been eyeing an apartment in the building.
Next door to 10 Gracie Square is Carl Schurz Park, a 15-acre park designed by Calvert Vaux who collaborated with Central Park architect Frederick Law Olmstead. It "is a little jewel for the neighborhood," said Baquero, who likened it to a "private mini-Central Park."
The park was once owned by the Dutch East India company, the oldest company in the world. The city first set out to make it a park in 1887 when it earmarked $1 million to create small parks around the city.

‘21st century senior living is not dull foster care’
published : 4 Oct 2022 at 15:14
Thai and international experts on modern mode of healthy, independent lifestyle for the elderly
A stereotypical image of an adult foster care is one of dull, quiet buildings, one bed after another with residents or ‘patients’ mostly inactive, immobile, or even bedridden. This might pose real challenges for some people even if they would benefit from having their physical and medical needs met. Amid the aging of many world societies, the solution is a privately-managed senior care facility that emphasises living in an independent and healthy way, as normal as possible.
Dr. Nart Fongsmut, M.D., a senior care and management expert with over 20 years of experience and Founder of LivWell Living Co., Ltd., says, “Independence is essential for the elderly. Even if they have some physically compromised capabilities, independence or self-reliance will prevent them from thinking of themselves as their children’s burden.
“A good senior living facility should aim to keep its residents independent and healthy as long as possible,” she stresses. “This means they can still do daily activities, contribute to society, and have dignity. In addition, wellness has to be at the forefront of care. For instance, at Naya Residences, we monitor every resident even before they develop health issues, allowing us to take preventive steps and prolong good quality of life for them as much as possible.”
Jeramy Ragsdale, Founder and CEO, Thrive Senior Living, a renowned developer and operator of senior living communities in the US and UK, shares that, “When their physical needs change and they are not as mobile, the need for social connections in everyday life can be left unmet. The role of a senior living facility is to curate an environment that allows for interaction and communication while their physical demands are still being well taken care of.”
“Furthermore, we have found that the desires of seniors are shockingly similar to those of younger adults. Social connectivity, great food and wellness are key drivers in long-term health and happiness. However, younger adults are more willing to experience these things ‘a-la-carte,’ meaning that their social network, dining experiences, and wellness activities may not necessarily all be a part of their home environment. Meanwhile, for older adults, a lifestyle where you can have all of that where you live might be preferable.”
As Thrive Senior Living is replicating its successful model of senior living from the U.S. to new regions, including Thailand, Mr. Ragsdale discovers universal truth about the care of elderly people.
“Different cultural contexts do exist in details, but the human core desire to be independent and socially connected is all the same. Besides, I have witnessed relationships between seniors and their adult children improved because they can now fully be just a son or daughter instead of solely a caregiver,” he says.
As Thailand is entering an aging society, it is estimated that a million people will become senior citizens (aged above 60) per year for the next 20 years. Therefore, Dr. Nart thinks it is important for the pre-retirement population of 40-59 years old to prepare for their life after retirement.
“Three aspects have to be covered before you enter retirement, namely physical and mental health, savings and finances, and social network or a circle of friends to socialise with,” she says.
It is noteworthy that after more than 20 years in the field, Dr. Nart starts to see an emerging trend: “Before, most of the residents were single individuals. Now, a lot of adult children come to us with their parents because they are seeking the best care for their parents that also allows them to work. Some have told they finally can have a peace of mind as their parents are in good hands. A good senior living facility can serve every member of the family. Some of our units feature a guest room for family to visit. Most importantly, good communication between relatives and the care centre is of paramount significance, so they don’t have to worry.”
Dr. Nart reiterates the importance of active social life and environment: “Loneliness is the disease of the aged. Seniors who live at home may hire a 24/7 nurse, but that’s only half the picture. Social connectivity is vital to a good life. For instance, at Naya Residences, residents can wake up to a gorgeous riverfront environment, practice yoga in the morning, swim in the afternoon, and dine with your friends in the evening. Recently, we even hosted a birthday party with everyone joining. This kind of experience is beyond medical concern and cannot be replicated at home. And when you add in daily wellness monitoring and the around-the-clock availability of care and assistance when it’s needed, that lifestyle is truly the best possible option.”

DOT studies trail for causeway
By DEMORRIS A. LEE
Published January 5, 2007
Want to ride your bicycle across the Courtney Campbell Parkway without being bulldozed by a zooming car or truck?
That could happen someday.
The Florida Department of Transportation has awarded the local area $400,000 to study the feasibility of a trail for cyclists, runners and walkers along the causeway and to do the preliminary engineering work.
The study, to be conducted by the DOT, will evaluate the environmental effects and feasibility of adding a bicycle and pedestrian lane for the length of the 9.9-mile causeway, either by attaching a trail to the bridge structures or building a separate, detached trail.
The feasibility study will go out for bid in February. The grant is a result of federal funding that is awarded by the state.
"The existing causeway has a lot of trail, pedestrian potential," said Bill Jonson, a Clearwater City Council member and chairman of the Courtney Campbell Scenic Highway Corridor Advisory Committee.
But, Jonson said, "it's impeded by the major bridges where you have to walk sideways and hope that cars don't run over your toes."
Designated a scenic highway by the state in 2005, the Courtney Campbell is the only direct route between Tampa and Clearwater. There's Ben T. Davis Municipal Beach on the Tampa side and an unnamed beach owned by the DOT on the Clearwater side.
Joggers and bikers often traverse the service roads alongside the causeway. But such travel comes to a halt at the bridges.
"It's simply not safe for bicyclists or pedestrians to go over those bridges when traffic is moving at 60 mph," Jonson said.
About 50,000 vehicles a day travel across the Courtney Campbell, a state highway.
If the connection is built, it will be the second such trail spanning the bay for those who like to run, bike, skate or walk.
In 1999, the old Gandy Bridge opened as a recreational bridge for walkers, family strollers and fishermen. The 2.6-mile bridge is called the Friendship Trail Bridge and averages about 600,000 users a year. It connects Tampa and St. Petersburg.
"It's nothing but good for the community," said Frank Miller, executive director of the Friendship Trail Corp., which supports the Friendship Trail Bridge.Demorris A. Lee can be reached at 727 445-4174 or email@example.com.

Courtney Campbell Parkway
In the late 1920s, Ben T. Davis, a direct descendent of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, wanted to shorten the journey between Clearwater and Tampa.
From 1927 to 1934, Davis, formerly a steamboat captain, worked on the causeway when his company had no other dredging work to do.
The causeway cost $900,000 to build (including two bridges, because one was demolished by a hurricane). It opened Jan. 28, 1934, with a 25 cent toll for a car and driver.
In 1944, as part of the war effort, the federal government seized control of the causeway, paid $1.085-million for the road and transferred ownership to the state.
In 1948, it was renamed for Courtney W. Campbell, a Florida Road Board member, U.S. representative and Clearwater Beach resident, in recognition of his work to make major repairs and beautification possible.

Editor’s note: This is the final article in a three-part series on some of the questions yet to be answered on what impact construction of the South Mountain Loop 202 will have on local residents.
While there may be a ray of hope that the South Mountain Loop 202 could be built south of Pecos Road, at this point officials are looking at the only option available in the east, which is along Pecos Road.
And one of the big questions yet to be answered is what kind of impact the freeway’s traffic would have on air quality.
Members of the South Mountain Citizens Advisory Team have pleaded with the Arizona Department of Transportation to bring in experts to discuss what 165,000 vehicles a day on the Loop 202 would do to air quality, especially the impact on children at the five public schools that are from 50 to 1,500 meters from the proposed freeway right of way.
But ADOT has insisted that any air quality discussions wait until the draft environment impact statement is ready to be released, because the topic is complex and any discussion should be project specific.
But a report by the University of California at Los Angeles may toss a wrench into ADOT’s plans to get approval for the eight-lane freeway.
The report released in June shows that freeway air pollution extends much further than originally thought … more than 2,500 meters or 1.5 miles in the case of Interstate 10 through Santa Monica, Calif.
The pre-dawn pollution distance was 10 times further than the daytime pollution impact previously measured.
But researchers also discovered that the pollution concentration levels were higher than that found in daytime, even though there was just a fraction of the daytime traffic.
“Our finds confirm previous work showing peak levels of ultra fine particles immediately adjacent to the freeway, but we found high concentrations persisted for up to 1.5 miles downwind from the freeways during the pre-sunrise hours,” said Dr. Scott Fruin of the University of Southern California School of Medicine, who also participated in the study.
For Ahwatukee Foothills that could be bad news since South Mountain acts as a wall on the north side of the proposed freeway and winds often blow from the south, setting up the possibility of ultra fine particles held over Ahwatukee Foothills during the night.
Generally speaking, most models show that vehicles traveling at highway speeds, even when stuck in rush-hour traffic, produce less air pollution than an equal number of vehicles stuck on surface streets in stop-and-go traffic.
But a challenge in Nevada by the Sierra Club, arguing that widening U.S. 95 would create an air quality threat to nearby schools, was settled with the Nevada Department of Transportation, agreeing to extra air-filtering systems at the schools and special monitoring to see what impact the fine 2.5 micron particulates, called PM 2.5, would have on the health of children and nearby residents.
That settlement agreement was limited to Las Vegas, but it opened the door that PM 2.5 pollution near freeways is a health concern, because it can easily be drawn deep into the lungs.
A draft environmental impact statement on the Loop 202 is in the final revision stage and could be made public by this summer. At that point, ADOT plans to hold several meetings to discuss air quality in general and air quality impacts the Loop 202 might pose for Ahwatukee Foothills.
But until then, residents will have to wait to see how the addition of a major freeway along the southern border of Ahwatukee Foothills will impact air quality and health. | [

Pros & Cons of Increasing Efficiency in Operating Activities
Increasing operating efficiency is a common objective of organizations. Some use formal processes such as lean manufacturing or Six Sigma to isolate wasted activities and figure out process improvements. Others simply evaluate existing methods and processes in each department to address opportunities to make production more efficient.
A main objective of increasing operating efficiency is reduced costs and improved bottom line profits. When you cut out wasted steps or speed up production time, you typically lower your costs of doing business or increase production efficiency. Eliminating unnecessary, time-consuming paperwork, for instance, can remove the costs of supplies and improve the efficiency of those workers tasked with that job. Over time, this improves your profit margins and your overall profit performance.
Another pro of efficient operations is higher levels of customer satisfaction. Increased efficiency means delivering a more timely solution to your customer. A manufacturer can generate products more quickly to satisfy its distributor, retailer and, ultimately, the consumer. A fast response time to customer orders and issues can lead to more business from current customers and draw new business from others that become aware of your performance benefits.
In the August 2007 InformationWeek article "10 Tips for Increasing Operational Efficiency," James A. Martin makes the point that outsourcing IT jobs can improve operational efficiency for small businesses. However, this approach may cause the business to realize its IT employees and other staff don't have enough work, which could lead to layoffs or trimming of hours for certain employees. Any type of reduction in workforce can cause employee morale to suffer. Thus, ensuring your existing staff has enough work is important before you outsource IT functions.
Increased operational efficiency is intended to find the ideal match between time and quality. However, too much emphasis on efficiency can contribute to a reduction in production quality at times. The World Bank's Ranjana Mukherjee points out in a July 2000 article, "Operational Inefficiency & Poor Service Delivery," that some companies try so hard to maximize efficiency when predicting staffing and resource needs, they are not prepared for increased seasonal demands. Limited resources and people contributes to stress and rushed work, which affects quality performance.

This invention relates to depositing droplets on a substrate.
Ink jet printers are one type of apparatus for depositing droplets on a substrate. Ink jet printers typically include an ink path from an ink supply to a nozzle path. The nozzle path terminates in a nozzle opening from which ink drops are ejected. Ink drop ejection is controlled by pressurizing ink in the ink path with an actuator, which may be, for example, a piezoelectric deflector, a thermal bubble jet generator, or an electrostatically deflected element. A typical print assembly has an array of ink paths with corresponding nozzle openings and associated actuators. Drop ejection from each nozzle opening can be independently controlled. In a drop-on-demand print assembly, each actuator is fired to selectively eject a drop at a specific pixel location of an image as the print assembly and a printing substrate are moved relative to one another. In high performance print assemblies, the nozzle openings typically have a diameter of 50 micron or less, e.g. around 25 microns, are separated at a pitch of 100-300 nozzles/inch, have a resolution of 100 to 3000 dpi or more, and provide drops with a volume of about 1 to 70 picoliters (pl) or less. Drop ejection frequency is typically 10 kHz or more.
Hoisington et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,265,315, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference, describes a print assembly that has a semiconductor body and a piezoelectric actuator. The body is made of silicon, which is etched to define ink chambers. Nozzle openings are defined by a separate nozzle plate, which is attached to the silicon body. The piezoelectric actuator has a layer of piezoelectric material, which changes geometry, or bends, in response to an applied voltage. The bending of the piezoelectric layer pressurizes ink in a pumping chamber located along the ink path. Piezoelectric ink-jet print assemblies are also described in Fishbeck et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,825,227 and Hine U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,598, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference.
Printing accuracy is influenced by a number of factors, including the size and velocity uniformity of drops ejected by the nozzles in the assemblies and among multiple assemblies in a printer. The drop size and drop velocity uniformity are in turn influenced by factors such as the dimensional uniformity of the ink paths, acoustic interference effects, contamination in the ink flow paths, and the actuation uniformity of the actuators.
In many ink jet systems, ink is supplied through a supply duct to a pumping chamber which communicates with a nozzle, and ink is ejected periodically from the nozzle by a rapid compression of the volume of the pumping chamber as a result of action by an electromechanical transducer, such as a piezoelectric element. The rapid compression is preceded and/or followed by a correspondingly rapid expansion of the chamber volume. During the expansion portion of the ink drop ejection cycle, the pressure of the ink in the pumping chamber is reduced significantly, increasing the tendency of any air dissolved in the ink within the chamber to grow bubbles on the surface of the chamber. Bubbles tend to grow in that manner, especially at nucleation sites in the chamber such as sharp corners, minute cracks or pits, or foreign particles deposited on the chamber surface, where gases can be retained. If the expansion/compression cycles occur at a sufficiently high frequency, the bubbles can increase in size from one cycle to the next, giving rise to rectified diffusion. The presence of gas bubbles within the pumping chamber prevents application of pressure to the ink in the desired manner to eject an ink drop of selected volume from the nozzle at a selected time, resulting in print quality degradation over time. Rectified diffusion can become more problematic in high quality ink jet systems because such systems tend to employ viscous inks that require higher pressures and frequencies to jet properly.
If the frequency of the pressure oscillations in the pumping chamber is relatively low, nucleation site bubbles are expanded within the pumping chamber, but re-dissolve before the next stroke as shown in FIG. 1. Bubble 20 is formed during an expansion stroke at time D. Later, during a compression stroke at time E, the bubble 22 is now smaller due to increased pressure and due to diffusion of the gas from the bubble back into the fluid of the pumping chamber. In this low frequency scenario, the bubble is dissolved by time F.
If the frequency of the pressure oscillations in the pumping chamber is relatively high, bubbles do not have time to re-dissolve during a compression cycle before being subjected to another expansion cycle. FIG. 2 illustrates how the bubble radius cycles to generally increasing radius over multiple pump cycles. FIG. 3A-3C illustrate the effect of increasing bubble radius in the pumping chamber. Referring to FIGS. 2-3C, at time G, print element 30 fires droplet 32 during the compression stroke of the pumping chamber 34. Within the pumping chamber | [

A central heating boiler is part of a central heating system which provides hot water to the areas to be heated in a building. A combi-boiler also provides the hot water in a home.
When the room thermostat is turned up, the heat circulation pump will be put into operation so that the water will start circulating through the system. At the same time, the gas valve will be opened, so that natural gas is supplied to the burners, where subsequently it is ignited by a pilot light that is always burning or by electronic ignition. The boiler is connected to a discharge duct which leads the flue gases outside. The burners heat the water.
The heated water flows through the pipes to the radiators, which release heat to the room. The cooled water flows back to the boiler, where is it reheated. Once the set room temperature has almost been reached reached, the gas supply is closed to stop the heating of the water. If there is no additional request for heat in this time, the circulation pump will switch off after a period of approximately 15 minutes.
If your central heating boiler shows a failure, you can resolve this yourself in many cases | [

Collect a few beads or buttons
For the zipper pull on this little pouch I used the old bead buttons from the sweater I made the pouch out of, I love to upcycle and recycle all I can!
Next get some heavy thread. I used a waxed thread
Thread the waxed thread through the zipper end and cut a nice size thread to work with
Tie a knot. Do this twice
using a needle add a bead
tie a knot again
One bead on!
continue to add beads and knot until you are satisfied with how you zipper pull is taking shape.
Once you reach the end secure with two knots and trim the thread | [

Ford Escape 2004
My car's battery is acting up. When I lock my door,
unlock it and open my car, the alarm goes off. I
turn on the car and the alarm is still going off.
What do I do???
There is an issue with the anti theft, and maybe the ignition system. You have a short or some corrosion in the wiring somewhere. You would need to have a garage go through the circuits to find the culprit. | [

So the past few months you’ve shopped properties, submitted offers on many and gotten your hopes up, only to be let down. But you haven’t given up, and finally you get the call from your real estate agent: Your latest offer has been accepted!
You might think it’s the end of the road to property ownership. But really, it’s just the beginning of the hard work.
Once you go into escrow, many items still need to be reviewed, discussed and inspected as you move forward in the process. Here are several that you’ll encounter for the next 40-50 days until you finally close escrow.
Home inspection & renegotiations
First you’ll need to schedule a home inspection and have an independent, licensed and insured inspector go through the property to look for problems. Make sure to join the inspector at the inspection and ask a lot of questions, write down everything that needs to be addressed and get with a contractor to determine how much it will cost to make all those repairs. Then have your real estate professional negotiate with the seller for, hopefully, some additional fixes and/or cash credits at closing.
Hopefully you’ve kept your lender apprised of where you are in the process. Now it’s time to get into full-speed motion. Get your appraisal ordered and start resubmitting pay stubs, mutual fund statements and other document the lender requests. And lock in your interest rate, points and loan terms — and get those terms in writing.
Title insurance, plat/survey, schedule of exclusions
You’ll also get a thick packet of documents that you’ll need to review. Most people do not review them, and that’s a really bad idea. You need to look through the estimated HUD-1 costs, the title abstract, the title insurance policy schedule of exclusions and all other documents. Also review the plat or have a survey done and then walk the property to see if there are any encumbrances (get the title company to plot the easements). This is the time, before you close escrow, to figure out if there are title or physical property issues that pose a problem.
HOA documents review
If the property is in a common interest development, you’ll need to review all the relevant homeowners association documents — board of directors meeting minutes and notes, financial statements, state disclosures, reserve study, bank condominium certification, HOA unit demand statement, etc. This is a really time consuming, confusing and tricky process. Many people fail to do even the most basic HOA analysis, and if you don’t adequately review the documents, you might feel some pain down the road when issues occur — and they will occur.
Property and liability insurance
You also need to get with an insurance agent and make sure to discuss and procure the proper type and amount of insurance that you’ll need. This is especially true if you’re paying cash, as you don’t have the bank personnel to double-check that you are properly insuring yourself. Your best bet is to go meet with your insurance agent and get the appropriate coverage.
Sign documents, fund down payment, verify GFE
As items move forward, you will eventually be ready to sign documents, fund the down payment and verify the lender costs match the good faith estimate you were given. Make sure to read and review all these documents before you sign off that they are acceptable to you.
Finally, you will fund your down payment, the bank will fund the mortgage loan, escrow and title will prepare all documents, properly account for all the funds, then go record your purchase documents at the county courthouse. And you are now the proud owner of a nice piece of dirt!

The electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance technique has been used to obtain coulombic efficiencies for the electro reduction of pure Pt or PtRu self-assembled microspheres and the effect of precursor salt concentration and reduction potential. This technique has been demonstrated successfully to simultaneously obtain in situ data for mass change and current-voltage-charge phenomena. The coulombic efficiency for platinum reduction peaked near unity for a potential of -0.15 V vs calomel and tended to lower efficiency at more positive potentials. Similarly, a Pt precursor salt concentration of 4 mM showed a coulombic efficiency in excess of 90%, while the efficiency decreased as the concentration rose. PtRu mixed systems generally gave similar trends, while the efficiency was consistently lower than that of the pure Pt analogs. | [

Smooth and savory, this recipe has the slightest sweetness from the rep pepper, carrot and squash and a tiny bit of texture from the fresh coconut. This coconut red pepper squash soup is packed with beta-carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin C, along with healthy fats from coconut and fiber from all the veggies.
This recipe features fresh coconut flesh, not the creamy coconut milk or the sweetened coconut flakes. Fresh coconut flesh. Coconuts come from the cocos nucifera palm and grow very well in tropical low-mid elevations. One tree can produce as up to 150 nuts per year. One medium size nut and its water can provide an average sized person with almost all of the daily required vitamins, minerals, and calories. Coconuts are truly a super food.
Coconuts have a lot of good fat, some carbohydrate, proteins and fiber. One 100g piece of mature coconut meat has: 354 Calories, 9 grams of fiber, 33.5 grams of total fat, 3.3 grams of protein and 15 grams of carbohydrates. For example, coconuts contain copper, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, and zinc, potassium. Furthermore, coconuts are also rich in B-vitamins: folates, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and pyridoxine. Additionally, coconut contains Lauric acid, which increases good-HDL cholesterol and protect the arteries by preventing blood vessel blockages.
On our farm we already have 6 coconut palms fruiting and we are getting ready to plant 35 more dwarf coconut trees. Stayed tuned for many many future fresh coconut recipes.

A Deadly Legacy
The lion's share of the plutonium used for the US nuclear arsenal during the Cold War came from the Hanford plant on the Columbia River in the US state of Washington. The plutonium used in the first atomic bomb test in July 1945 came from Hanford as did the material used in "Fat Man," the bomb which destroyed Nagasaki on Aug. 9, 1945.
Fifty-two buildings at Hanford remain contaminated to this day, and 240 square miles are uninhabitable due to the radioactivity that has seeped into the soil and ground water: uranium, cesium, strontium, plutonium and other deadly radio-nuclides. Altogether, more than 204,000 cubic meters of highly radioactive waste remain on site -- two-thirds of the total for the entire US. In one area, discharges of more than 216 million liters of radioactive, liquid waste and cooling water have flowed out of leaky tanks. More than 100,000 spent fuel rods -- 2,300 tons of them -- still sit in leaky basins close to the Columbia River.
The plant is also notorious for the so-called "Green Run" -- the deliberate release of a highly radioactive cloud from the T-plant, the world's largest plutonium factory at the time. The radiation was almost 1,000 times worse than that released during the 1979 meltdown at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, the worst nuclear accident in American history. Fallout from the experiment drifted all the way to California. People wondered why they suddenly got sick. Studies would eventually show that some babies at Hanford were radiated twice as much as the children of Chernobyl.
The First Big Accident
The first large nuclear power plant accident -- and the largest until Chernobyl -- took place at Windscale, now Sellafield, in October 1957. There, by the Irish Sea, the British had hurriedly built two atomic reactors after World War II for power production and to make weapons-grade plutonium.
The speed of construction carried a great cost. In 1955, 251 workers were exposed to radiation during repair work. Then, on Oct. 10 1957, a reactor core began to burn. In an attempt to extinguish the fire, a radioactive cloud was released, followed by a second one the next day. The radiation reached as far as Switzerland. The fires were only brought under control after two days.
The authorities attempted to cover up the accident, initially saying only that there had been an incident, but that the workers involved had been able to scrub away the radiation with soap and water. The only warning was that cow's milk in a radius of 200 miles from the reactor should not be consumed. In reality, the population surrounding the reactor received radiation doses 10 times higher than that seen as permissible for a lifetime.
According to official figures, 33 people were killed by the after-effects of the disaster, with more than 200 diagnosed with thyroid cancer. To this day, 15 tons of damage fuel rods are still stored on site as is radioactive ash and mud, leftover from the fire. The reactor is now to be dismantled using a robot built exclusively for the project. In all, it is set to cost some 500 million pounds.

It’s still more than a month away from winter. But, the city has been experiencing nippy nights for the past few days.
Chennai and its neighbourhood experienced a temperature of 19.4 degree Celsius on Friday as the minimum temperature plunged nearly four degree Celsius below average. This was the lowest temperature recorded so far this month. The gradual dip in the temperature began last Saturday after cloud cover lifted from over the city.
In only a few days, the minimum temperature in the city plunged from a pleasant 22-23 degrees to the much cooler temperatures being recorded now. The temperature fell sharply in many other weather stations across the State, including Thirupathur and Dharmapuri.
Winter clothes are already being much sought after to escape from the biting cold. Though Friday was not as windy as its preceding days, nippy weather prevailed during the day. Travelling after 7 p.m., particularly in areas where buildings were scarce was difficult, said residents.
Officials of the meteorological department said such weather normally prevails between December end and mid-February. However, the dominating northerly component in the wind and weak northeast monsoon activity had caused cold weather ahead of winter.
Y.E.A. Raj, deputy director general of meteorology, Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai, said that, usually the city experiences north-easterly winds during this time of the year.
Weak monsoon had brought cold and dry air from the north to the city. The minimum temperature had dipped in interior parts of Tamil Nadu, which are away from the sea, as there might not be much moisture in the air over the region. Last year, the minimum temperature had dipped to 18.7 degree Celsius on November 9.
This kind of prolonged dry spell occurs during northeast monsoon. “We expect the monsoon to revive in three or four days. Until then, the minimum temperature in the city will be below normal for two or three days,” he said. | [

BJP working president J P Nadda on Friday asked booth workers of Uttarakhand to reach out to Dalits and tribals, and tell them that the Congress and National Conference had done injustice to them in Jammu and Kashmir.
Nadda said people from these sections have rights and would be able to contest elections in future because the Narendra Modi government had nullified the provision of Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
He said there was no political reservation for tribals in J&K even though Ladakh has a tribal population. Nadda said that Gujjars and Bakarwals are tribals, but no Lok Sabha or Assembly seat was reserved for them because of Article 370. “After abrogation of Article 370, delimitation of constituencies will be done and for the first time a patriotic tribal from J&K will be elected for Lok Sabha and the state Assembly,” Nadda said.
Nadda said that those who came to India from West Pakistan in 1947 and settled in different parts of the country outside J&K became part of mainstream. He pointed out that I K Gujral, Manmohan Singh and LK Advani came from West Pakistan, and two of them became Prime Minister and Advani became Deputy PM. “But those who settled in J&K could not contest election of even councillor, had no voting rights in MLA elections. Now, after abrogation of Article 370, any refugee who came in 1947 and is living in J&K will have the right to contest elections,” Nadda said. | [

Most MMO fans will say that it’s impossible to find a good MMO game for a mobile device. They will say that this genre is strictly possible on PCs. Sky: Children of the Light challenges this claim and arguably beats it.
Children of the Light comes from the developers of Journey, a game that earned multiple “game of the year” awards in 2012. This game is an adventure where players can roam around the world looking for spirits to return them to their stars.
The game is full of walking, exploring, sliding down on hills, and finding caves. All of that is entrenched in a beautiful world that looks stunning even on a smartphone. You learn the basic controls in the tutorial at the start of the game and slowly hone your skills as you play.
As you play the game, you come across other players who are roaming the world as well. Sometimes you will have to overcome roadblocks together and cooperate. It’s really a unique experience set in a large world.
Players can communicate and interact with simple gestures that give a special feel to the game. The atmosphere, visuals, and music are really well-crafted, making Children of the Light special.
● Single-player MMO
● Multiplayer moments
● Chat feature
● Smooth controls
● Amazing visuals
● Unique MMO experience
Children of the Light is a truly unique MMO, even for PC games. | [

Thanks for keeping us on track Dano.
I agree that we don’t want to discourage any participation in the Forum. But I do think it’s important to give our perspectives on Freemasonry in the context that we know it. Sometimes even those of us who have been on this Forum a long time state things as “fact” when, it turns out it may just have been what we’ve been exposed to in our jurisdictions.
Christian, I do think the link you provided was a good explanation of Prince Hall’s history. Thanks for that.
And that brings up one other point. The more we “travel” as Freemasons the more we see both how similar we all are and how different we can be.
Thanks again to all. | [

There you are, brushing your darlin' doggie, and you see little white flakes and it's not snowing. Do not jump to the conclusion that your dog has a disease and is flaking away before your eyes. No doubt, it's just doggie dandruff, and you can treat it right at home by making a few adjustments in brushing, bathing and diet.
Basically, ordinary doggie dandruff results from dry skin. Dry skin is caused by dry air, lack of oil, over-bathing, lack of brushing, and deficient diet, all of which can be remedied with home treatments. Your dog's skin is always shedding old skin cells, and replenishing them with new ones, but if the cycle gets out of balance, you may see too many white flakes. Balancing the oils in the dog's skin reduces the problem.
Have you noticed how your dog's coat shines after you brush him? That's because you have stimulated the oil glands in his skin, and the result is a healthy sheen coming from the emollient effect. Brushing also lets air get to the dog's skin where the fur may have been matted, such as under his collar. A daily brushing is best for detangling, air circulation, oil stimulation and shiny coat. But, if you can't brush daily, try not to go more than a week without brushing if you are dealing with doggie dandruff.
Supplement the dog's diet with oil. Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain a good coat and healthy skin, and reduce skin inflammation. Check the ingredients on your dog food container. Eagle Brand dog food, for example, reports that Eagle Pack formulas fall well within the range for a healthy ratio of Omega-6 to Omega 3. Your dog boutique and your vet can recommend Omega 3 and Flax Oil supplements if your dog's diet isn't adequate. A good old home remedy is to give your dog a raw egg weekly. You can mix it with his food, but he will probably slurp it up as is.
Generally, you treat doggie dandruff from the inside out and the outside in. One external cause of the dog's dry skin can be over-bathing, especially in winter. Try reducing the frequency. And how about taking Bowser to a dog wash salon? He will walk up into a tub, be tethered, and then treated to warm water sprays with massaging action, special shampoos and even conditioners. Use their towels and blow dryers, and you don't even have to clean up! (Do a Google search for dog wash spas to find a "laundromutt" in your area.). If you want to bathe doggie at home, ask your vet to recommend a good dog shampoo for dry skin. People-shampoo may have too much alcohol content. Veterinary Dr.Louis Gotthelf of Allexperts.com recommends antiseborrheic shampoo to remove the scale, which is a fancy name for anti-dandruff formula.
Exercise stimulates everything: Blood circulation, organs, muscles, elimination and healthy skin (the biggest organ of all). Especially in winter, it's easy to neglect your dog's exercise regimen, and that's when doggie dandruff can increase.
Your dog doesn't have to be a flake
More brushing, more oil in the diet, bathing, and exercise should take care of the doggie dandruff problem. If it persists or increases, be sure to take your dog to the vet to rule out serious problems such as a parasite, a hormonal imbalance, or even liver disease. | [

IDT Systems, provider of 3D and 2D in-surface decoration solutions, has inked a partnership contract with Ingenia Technology. The agreement will enable IDT to provide Ingenia’s proprietary Laser Surface Authentication (LSA) technology to its consumers.
IDT will incorporate the LSA technology as part of its personalization and in-surface decoration offerings for the consumer electronics division.
The LSA technology scans the product’s surface to produce a fingerprint of every item. Each product, utilizing field scanners and a secure database, can be validated and traced via the overall supply chain. Material producers cannot replicate the surface imperfections, which makes the system secure and sturdy. The LSA technology cannot be assimilated or overcome by counterfeiters, unlike other anti-counterfeit technologies.
IDT’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Woodd stated that the partnership with Ingenia will enable the company to provide a complete identification and authentication package for its customers. He added that the LSA technology provides an advanced solution for anti-counterfeiting and product tracing operations. | [

Can insomnia cause depression?
I just got diagnosed with insomnia. At night I stay up talking with friends until around 1-3am. Now my sleep schedule is thrown off. Ever since I’ve been diagnosed with insomnia I don’t fall asleep until 4am. Could staying up talking to friends on my phone caused insomnia? Also can you feel derepressed when you have insomnia? I have been feeling really sad lately. My sadness won’t go away. What should I do?
- formerly_bobLv 72 months ago
Those two things are definitely linked but its not obvious how they linked. There's all sorts of things that can cause insomnia. Those things include: Talking to friends or just looking at the screen on your phone before bed time; too much caffeine or energy drinks earlier in the day; mental stimulation late in the evening; irregular timing of sleep; long daylight period this time of year; and insufficient physical activity. First, try eliminating all of the above. Give yourself at least a one-hour break from talking with friends or using your phone before bedtime and go to bed and get up the same time each day. And try going outside for a brisk 30 minute walk in the morning or afternoon, or get some similar type of aerobic exercise. If you can't get back to a normal sleep pattern or shake the depression make an appointment with your primary care doctor. | [

There are a variety of reasons why someone could experience psychosis. While natural illnesses may sometimes be the case, illegal drugs are often the cause behind why someone will experience psychosis or “paranoid delusions”.
As a general rule, Methamphetamine (Meth), Ecstasy, Cocaine, Crack Cocaine (Crack), “Bath Salts”, Phencyclidine “PCP” and Lysergic Acid Diethylamide “LSD” are the illegal drugs that are known to cause psychosis. These six types are the most commonly known to cause delusions and hallucinations.
In this article we’ll take a brief look at each of the drugs mentioned, what psychosis is and how these drugs cause psychosis. We’ll also discuss delusions and hallucinations as they are often experienced when psychosis is present.
Meth is an illegal street drug commonly known as “crystal” (among other names). Meth is one of the most addictive drugs known. It has an intense high that can last up to 12 hours. People who use meth have been known to show aggressive behavior and even seizures. Anxiety and depression have been known to develop as a result of constant use as well.
Methylene Dioxy Methamphetamine (MDMA) aka Ecstasy
Ecstasy is the street name for the hallucinogen/stimulant MDMA. Other street names include “X”, “E” and “Molly”. Many who continuously use ecstasy will experience brain damage. In some cases, people can experience toxic effects and even death due to the tremendous effects ecstasy has on the nervous system. If someone has a conflicting health condition they could experience permanent damage or even death after only one use.
Cocaine, aka “coke” or “blow”, is one of the most addictive and common of street drugs. It is known for it’s euphoric experience and heightened sense of energy and joy. Over time, cocaine can cause memory loss, loss of motor functions, brain damage and more. Those who continuously use cocaine will experience an increasing depression as it is difficult for the brain to regulate it’s natural chemical balance after continued use. Once someone becomes addicted, the spiral of depression and drug use begins and eventually sobriety may be painful and “numb”.
Crack cocaine is well-known for causing psychosis in many of it’s users. It is a form of cocaine that has been processed into a hard rock-like form. Crack cocaine is typically referred to as “crack” or “rock”. Unlike other drugs, crack has a relatively fast period when the “high” is experienced. Usually, the high only lasts up to 10 minutes which leaves the user craving more. Crack is highly addictive and while less than 10% of users die from the drug, most will experience permanent brain damage and other mental/physical health issues.
Bath Salts are synthetic drugs which are created to mimic the effects of other drugs such as meth or cocaine. Mephedrone or MDPV are two common ingredients in bath salts. Mephedrone effects the brain like meth while MDPV results in similar effects as seen with the use of cocaine. Depending on the individual, bath salts can cause very serious side effects since the consistency is essentially like using meth and cocaine at the same time. Nearly half of users experience some sort of psychosis when taking bath salts.
Take your mornings to the next level by trying this 14-day morning routine challenge.
You’ll feel more productive and centered while keeping your mental health in check.

PCP is an illegal street drug commonly known as “angel dust” (among other names). It has been known to cause aggressive behavior, confusion and psychosis experiences such as delusions and hallucinations. Hallucinations and delusions include seeing things that are not really there and hearing noises that never existed. People will also experience out of body experiences and detachment from their typical thoughts and feelings.
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide “LSD”
LSD is an illegal street drug commonly known as “acid” (among other names). It causes in increased release of serotonin which the brain is not able to filter. This causes a significantly increase in a variety of thoughts and sensations. These hallucinations will seem completely real and the user will not be able to tell what is reality and what is not. LSD can also cause schizophrenia rapidly develop in individuals who meet the criteria of those that develop it.
What is Psychosis?
Psychosis happens when your mind has been altered and you have simulated experiences outside of reality. Your mind will not agree with reality. During psychosis, hallucinations and delusions will occur. When an individual is having a delusional experience, they will believe certain things that are not true. They may believe that their partner is being unfaithful, be convinced that someone is out to harm them or any other delusional scenario that is not actually | [

The Waldensians in North America
This letter was sent from Lombardy to Lyons to express the outcome of an early meeting, which was held in Bergamo, Italy, between members of two separate Waldensian groups. Though the two groups differed in their approaches to the life of The Poor, the outcome of the meeting was a "new sense of unity."* [* Some descriptions used in these Archives are derived from those given in the text of Giorgio Tourn's You Are My Witnesses. These documents are taken from Tourn's book.]
This early document tells in a remarkable and fanciful form the Waldensian story of how the Church had come to compromise with the world. Though The Poor were not around until the 12th century, mention is here made of their presence in the 4th century. They could, however, claim solidarity with ancient Christians who rejected worldly wealth and power.
A 15th-century Waldensian poem
This is an excerpt from a written account of the heresy trial of Filippo Regis. Waldensians were routinely questioned about their knowledge of the elusive barba—the itinerant Waldensian spiritual leaders. Such accounts are often distorted: it is unlikely a barba would have taught to deny the virgin Birth, or to deny that "the sons" could perform miracles.
(or, the Confession of Chanforan) 1532

Tokyo, March 14 (IANS) At least 11 people were injured and seven others were missing in a second hydrogen explosion at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, Xinhua reported Monday.The first explosion occurred at the plant Saturday.
Plumes of white smoke were seen coming from the Fukushima plant Monday after a loud explosion at its No.3 reactor, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (JNISA) said.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said 11 people were injured and seven others were missing after the blast. One of the walls of the reactor building collapsed.
The likelihood of high levels of radiation in the area is low, the agency noted, but warned the 600 people who were still in the 20-km evacuation zone to leave immediately.
The agency said large amounts of hydrogen have amassed in the upper parts of the reactor building, where the pressure remained unusually high, similar to that of the No.1 reactor building that exploded Saturday.
Cooling operations at the reactor were continuing although the coolant levels were low, the JNISA said. It added that the containment vessel in the reactor is still intact.
Speaking at a press conference Monday, chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano said the explosion did not damage the reactor and the containment vessel and that there was little possibility of mass radiation being leaked into the air.
Edano expressed concern Sunday that a hydrogen explosion could occur at the plant’s No.3 reactor — the latest reactor to face a possible meltdown, following a hydrogen blast Saturday in the plant’s No. 1 unit.
Commercial operation of Fukushima’s first nuclear reactor (Fukushima I-1) started in 1971, while the most recent one (Fukushima II-4) started in 1987.
While struggling to avert a nuclear meltdown, the government is also striving to take care of millions of survivors who are still without drinking water, electricity and proper food after Friday’s catastrophic magnitude-9 earthquake and ensuing massive tsunamis.
About 2,000 bodies were found Monday on two shores in Japan’s Miyagi prefecture, the Kyodo News said. The toll is likely to rise significantly.
Earlier, the National Police Agency had confirmed the death of more than 1,600 people.
While the country is grappling with the widespread damage, countries around the world have offered help to Japan in dealing with the aftermath of the devastating earthquake.
At least 50 countries and regions have promised to provide relief support.
A 15-member Chinese rescue team, which arrived in Japan Sunday, was set to start search and rescue operations Monday in Ofunato city in the northeastern Iwate prefecture.
China also pledged 30 million yuan (about $4.5 million) worth of emergency humanitarian assistance to Japan to help the disaster relief there, the Chinese commerce ministry said Monday. | [

Ruger is excited to offer you an opportunity to bid on and acquire rare, unusual, discontinued, or one-of-a-kind Ruger® firearms and accessories. All items are available to qualified buyers as part of a "no reserve" auction, subject to applicable laws.
These special make up Ruger® Mini-14® rifles were produced for, and sold only to, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol in 1979. Thirteen hundred rifles were stamped "O.H.P." on the top of the receiver and an additional 300 were produced without the "O.H.P." mark. This rifle does have that mark. The rifle was test fired June 5, 1990, but the serial number, 181-50931, tells us this rifle was manufactured in 1979. This blued Ruger® Mini-14® rifle features an 18-1/2 inch barrel with flash suppressor, a fiberglass handguard, rear peep sight (adjustable for elevation and windage), and fixed front sight with bayonet lug. Other features include a one-piece American hardwood stock with a red rubber butt pad with embossed Ruger eagle logo. It has an M1 Carbine-style sling mount that accommodates the included rifle sling. The rifle is a 223 Rem caliber and will ship with a 20-round magazine.
This week's auction is a Ruger® Redhawk® revolver in.44 Magnum caliber. The serial number is 500-00900 and it was testfired October 15, 1980. The revolver appears to have not been fired beyond normal factory testing. The Redhawk double-action revolver was introduced as "NEW" in Ruger's 1980 firearms catalog. It has a 6-round capacity cylinder; is satin-polished stainless steel with a 7-1/2 inch barrel; and it has walnut grip panels. Other features include a steel rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation with a white outline square notch blade; and a ramp front sight base. The Redhawk was originally advertised with checkered grip panels and a red plastic insert in the front sight, and this revolver is one of the few produced without those features. The revolver will be shipped in its original yellow and black hinged cardboard box along with an original instruction manual, marketing materials, and Ruger-logoed plastic bag. | [

Another writer who wrote on the symbolic character of religious language was Tillich’s friend and colleague, John Herman Randall Jnr. The difference between them is very substantial, despite their agreements. For Randall, religious symbols were non-cognitive.
They were socially necessary but not ‘true’ in the sense that the overwhelming number of religious people would assume. They do not ‘point’ to any transcendent reality, such as God, who is ‘there’ whether or not people think about him.
This sounds, at first, like Freud all over again. But there is a difference. Freud could see no real future for religion by the time society had outgrown its childish longing for security which can’t be given. Randall thought that religion was necessary for all kinds of reasons.
Summary of Randall’s Views
In the first book, Randall concludes that religion is a distinctive human enterprise with a socially indispensable function of its own to perform. It is not primarily a set of beliefs offering knowledge to people. It is not a kind of illegitimate science whose superstitions are at war with scientific truths. Nor is it a kind of ‘super-science’ proclaiming a ‘higher’ form of knowledge forever beyond the reach of mere science.
Religion, for Randall, is not essentially knowledge at all. Its aims and functions are not to furnish people with truth.There can be no conflict in general between religion and science as explanations of anything, as truth.
For whenever people are concerned with explanation and truth, they are acting theoretically or scientifically: ‘Religious beliefs, though far indeed from being “meaningless”, do not possess what is ordinarily meant by cognitive value.’
Religion expresses whatever people have felt deeply. Religious practices have celebrated and consecrated people’s normal social activities, as in the great agricultural festivals marking the turning points of the farmer’s calendar.
John Herman Randall Jnr. Comes to the Heart of His Position
In chapter four of The Role of Knowledge in Western Religion, Randall comes to the heart of his position: ‘We can assume that all religious beliefs without exception are “mythology”. That is, they are all religious “symbols”.
If such symbols can be said to possess any kind of “truth”, they certainly do not possess the literal truth of the factual statements of the descriptive sciences or of common sense…’ All ideas of God, like all other religious beliefs, are without exception religious symbols. They are employed in religious experience and serve to carry on the religious life.
Like Tillich, Randall distinguishes between signs symbols. But, for Randall, a symbol is in no sense representative; it does not stand for or take the place of anything other than itself. Rather, it does something in its own right; it provokes a characteristic response in people. What do the religious symbols do?
They do four things according to Randall:
i) They provoke in people an emotional response and stimulate appropriate human activities. They produce results in conduct.
ii) They provoke a response from the community,a shared response accompanied by cooperative activity.
iii) Non cognitive symbols are able to communicate,- qualitative or ‘shared’ experience which is difficult to express in words.
iv) Religious symbols ‘disclose’ or ‘reveal’ something about the world in which they function. They convey ‘insight’ or ‘vision’ rather than ‘knowledge’.
To summarize; religious symbols do not convey Propositional knowledge but ‘know-how’. The test for them, if it makes sense to ‘test’ them, is the power they have to express value rather than impart knowledge.
The Meaning of Religion for Man
In his later book, The Meaning of Religion for Man, Randall clarifies his earlier position. This is a characteristic passage: ‘Religious practices furnish the means of expressing any deeply felt emotion – not only men’s aspirations and loyalties but also their baser passions, prejudices and hatreds…In one sense, religions are little better than the turbulent human life they express;
they are the most intensely human of all the activities in which men engage. It is hardly intelligent to blame the mirror for what it reflects or to think by breaking it to transform the scene.’

ANNABELLE Movie Earns $150 Worldwide
- Last Updated: Sunday, 19 October 2014 19:07
- Written by Lupe R Haas
Should we expect another sequel for the demonic doll? Too bad Chucky is Universal, otherwise a face off between Annabelle and Chuck might be worthwhile to see together. Regardless, we’re sure Annabelle may get a franchise now that she’s a star.
Check out the announcement of ANNABELLE’S milestone below in the official press release.
BURBANK, CA – October 19, 2014 – New Line Cinema’s “Annabelle” has surpassed the $150 million mark at the worldwide box office, earning more than $166.1 million to date and counting. The announcement was made today by Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President, International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
Director John R. Leonetti’s supernatural thriller, produced by Peter Safran and James Wan, enjoyed the largest opening weekend this year at the domestic box office for a horror film, at $37.1 million. The demonic doll, who first debuted in last summer’s global hit “The Conjuring,” has currently scared up more than $74.1 million at the domestic box office.
Internationally, “Annabelle” has taken in just over $92 million in 51 markets, including the UK, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Australia and much of Asia, with a number of markets yet to open, including Mexico. The film set new opening records for the horror genre in Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Chile and Colombia.
In making the announcement, Fellman said, “Who doesn’t love a creepy doll? Annabelle is back and audiences have certainly missed her, judging by their enthusiastic welcome in theaters across the country. We’re happy to have unleashed the spirit of Halloween a little early this year, and congratulate New Line and the filmmakers on reaching this impressive benchmark.”
Kwan Vandenberg stated, “There’s an appetite for scary movies the world over and ‘Annabelle’ has really struck a chord. With several markets still to open, the film is on a strong trajectory that should continue to gain momentum as new audiences everywhere experience the thrills and chills it provides.”
She terrified you in “The Conjuring,” but this is where it all began for Annabelle.
Capable of unspeakable evil, the actual doll exists locked up in an occult museum in Connecticut—visited only by a priest who blesses her twice a month.
New Line Cinema’s supernatural thriller “Annabelle” begins before the evil was unleashed.
John Form has found the perfect gift for his expectant wife, Mia—a beautiful, rare vintage doll in a pure white wedding dress. But Mia’s delight with Annabelle doesn’t last long. On one horrific night, their home is invaded by members of a satanic cult, who violently attack the couple. Spilled blood and terror are not all they leave behind. The cultists have conjured an entity so malevolent that nothing they did will compare to the sinister conduit to the damned that is now...Annabelle.
Annabelle Wallis (“X-Men: First Class”) and Ward Horton (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) star as the Forms. Oscar nominee Alfre Woodard (“Cross Creek,” “Twelve Years a Slave”) stars as Evelyn, a neighbor who owns a bookstore. Rounding out the cast are Kerry O’Malley (TV’s “Those Who Kill”) and Brian Howe (“Devil’s Knot”) as neighbors Sharon and Pete Higgins; Tony Amendola (TV’s “Once Upon A Time”) as Father Perez; and Eric Ladin (TV’s “Boardwalk Empire,”) as Detective Clarkin.
“Annabelle” reunites the filmmakers behind 2013’s hugely successful supernatural thriller “The Conjuring.” John R. Leonetti, who served as cinematographer on “The Conjuring,” directed the film. James Wan, director of the global hit, produced “Annabelle” with Peter Safran. | [

West Ham United make the trip North to face table-topping Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, as two of the Premier League’s form sides go head-to-head in Saturday’s early kick-off.

That impressive run has seen them soar to 4th in the table, and has included wins over local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, as well as direct competitors like Aston Villa and Everton.
The Irons also rank among the better away sides in the league, losing only three of their 12 games on the road, though they haven’t scored in either of their last two in all competitions.
Good news for West Ham out of the way, now for the bad news… They’re playing Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been simply irresistible since the new year, dispatching every side put in front of them with aplom.
The Citizens are currently in the midst of a 19-game winning run (dating back to December 19th 2020) and haven’t lost since November 21st 2020.
That 26-game unbeaten streak is their second longest under Pep Guardiola and – unlike his Blues sides of the past – has been built not on attacking prowess, but instead on incredible defensive solidity.
They registered their 24th clean sheet of the season – and 19th in those 26 games – against Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday night, and have conceded less goals than they’ve kept clean sheets.
It’s thanks, in no small part, to summer signing Ruben Dias. The Portuguese centre-back joined from Benfica at the end of September and has been a virtual ever-present at the heart of their defence.
To put into context the difference he’s made; City conceded six times in three league games (2.0 per game) before his debut, compared to nine times in 22 league games since (0.41 per game).
It’s clear then that it’ll be a tough ask for West Ham to take anything away from this game, and that’s reflected in the odds. The Hammers are as high as 12/1 to leave Manchester with all three points, while their hosts are as short as ⅕ – with the draw out at 11/2.
That in turn makes betting on this game rather difficult, but not impossible.
With the prices around results not offering much appeal, I’ll be taking a look into the player cards market.
A man who hasn’t been booked but probably should have been recently is West Ham new boy Jesse Lingard. The Manchester United loanee has committed 12 fouls in his four starts for his new club, as the Hammers have looked to ‘defend from the front’.
He’s also committed five fouls in his last two visits to the Etihad Stadium, and at 13/2 (with bet365) he’s an enticing price to be booked against his old foe. | [

Avy goes to Rwanda: Emergency Delivery Challenge
The Avy team heads down to Rwanda in preparation for the Lake Kivu Challenge. They recount the days leading up to the flight of the Avy Aera VTOL drone performing a BVLOS flight, to deliver an emergency package of 1,5kg.
Avy goes to Rwanda
Last week the Avy team landed in Kigali, Rwanda in preparation for the Lake Kivu Challenge that will take place on the 9th until the 14th of February, as part of the African Drone Forum.
The team representing Avy down in Rwanda all have critical roles and in a snippet they are:
- Chris, our Avy pilot making sure the wing drone flies
- David, our software and controls engineer making sure the wing drone is in check
- Renee, our flight operations controller making sure the wing drone flies according to the flight plan
- Patrique, our founder and spokesperson making sure that the “Avy story” is told
In addition to this awesome team, Auterion our software partner, sent Roman, a software and controls engineer to support our BVLOS flights. He was in fact one of the original programmers for the first VTOL code for PX4!
Landing in Rwanda
The last few days have been a wild one for Avy, full of new experiences and insights. The team has had to quickly learn to be a professional drone operator in the real world, and this does come with logistical hell - shipping batteries that are way too high in voltage and that need to get through customs clearance.
However, once the batteries had safely arrived in Karongi, the team was ready to fly, and it quickly became clear that the hard work put in the past few months had definitely paid off: being a fully licensed operator in the Netherlands, mandatory internal training programmes and maintenance procedures, meant that every team member knew their role and were able to make the wing drone ready for flight.
It did also came with practical challenges that were out of our control:
- The LiPo batteries got stuck in Nairobi on transit to Kigali, delaying the team with flights.When they finally arrived, the team had to get used to the different wall sockets, that may cause LiPo chargers to blow up.
- Flying at higher altitudes and in a different temperature. However, Roman was of great support and helped with adjusting the aircraft for the specific operational conditions for Lake Kivu and higher altitudes.
- A 3,5 hour scenic bus ride turned into a 7 hour trip because the bus broke down. This only meant that there was more time to interact with the locals and bond with the other teams.
Aside from the practicalities, let's not forget to mention the new flavours the team experienced:
- Grilled jackfruit, who knew it could be used as a vegetarian option?
- Mango juice, everything is so fresh over there!
- Skol beer, brewed in Rwanda and a fresh change
To sum it up, it's been great so far, meeting amazing people on the ground who are the best in their industry, eager to share their knowledge and experience, with one goal in mind: making drones happen.
VIP demo day
With Avy not originally scheduled in for the VIP demo day, the team woke up at 6:30 determined to squeeze in a flight for the VIP’s. There was no chance, the Avy Aera wasn’t going to be showcased in front of African ministers, donors and African civil aviation regulators. Well, strong determination paid off when the organisers put us on the schedule for the demo!
The flight was short, smooth and successful.
Also turns out that we were one of the 6 drone companies to have performed in front of such a crowd! Alongside Bamboo, GermanDrones, HojungSolutions, Phoenix Wings and Wingcopter, the biggest game changers in the drone industry.
African Drone Forum
Aside from preparing for the competition in Karongi. Avy had a booth at the African Drone Forum, which was happening at the Kigali Convention Centre from 5-7th February.
A lot of exciting things happened during that first day:
- Meeting the President of Rwanda: Patrique had the honour to meet His Excellency Paul Kagame and briefly present the Avy Aera and its medical box that will be used to deliver an emergency package during the Lake Kivu Challenge
- Sharing our booth with Auterion: Sauming, their Head of Go to Market also joined for the symposium. This meant the team had the skills and resources to share how the integration of Auterion’s software helps to make our wing drones safe, reliable and efficient for operations.

By George, I do believe I actually enjoyed this. Oct 24, Minli rated it really liked it Recommends it for: In short, great book for scholars of subcultures, who are particularly interested in theoretical questions of their meanings and significance. The presumption of the author appears to be be that subcultutes method of using sources external to his own experience helps preserve objectivity.
Subculture: The Meaning of Style
Hebdige assumes that the fashions of the punks, mods, teds, and rastas can be explicated using semiotic analytic techniques. This classic text from the Birmingham CCCS offers a comprehensive semiotic analysis of the punk movement as a case study in the spectacular nature of subcultures.
It was not too mind-blowing, but did raise some interesting questions on race, oppression and what it means to be of the ‘working class’. The next phase was that of Glam and Glitter Rock that went from engaging with the experience of young working and middle class youth to avoiding it by appealing to an aesthetics of avoiding the “real world” and escaping its different issues.
They resist the normative labels and values they view as hypocritical.
American Journal of Sociology. The dominant society often sees these groups as radical, leading to fear, skepticism, and anxiety in their response. Mar 01, Paul Mullins rated it it was amazing.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Richard ‘Dick’ Hebdige born is an expatriate British media theorist and sociologist most commonly associated with the study of subcultures, and subcultural resistance against the mainstream of society. Jul 17, Demod rated it liked it. The lack of personal experience by the author in this text led me to question the veracity of some of his conclusions.
See 1 question about Subculture…. Sep 06, Elias Vasilis Kontaxakis added it Shelves: Feb 14, M. Subcultutes Meaning of Style is so important: The book subcultres elaborate and hard to read. Often fascinating history of various British subcultures, mainly, as the cover would suggest, centered around the late’s Punk movement, but also including, among other things, a really eye-opening examination of the British skinhead scene up to the time I read it, I had assumed they were all fascists; not so, as it turned out.
Hebdige details the emergence of British punk in relation to a whole mess of other underground musical movements including glam rock and reggae and pulls a bunch of cool arguments out of his butt, centered around the ideas of hegemony and cultural resistance, and there’s this cool part where he talks about the symbolic representation of a safety pin.
The book illustrates the complexity of subcultures and their characteristics. Finally, Hebdige brings in the Gramscian notion sjbcultures hegemony to unite culture and ideology in an uneasy relationship guiding the functions and development of society.
In short, my interests were f About two years into high school and I hit a wall. The Meaning of Styletakes All these articles served to minimize the Otherness so stridently proclaimed in punk style, and defined the subculture in precisely those terms which it sought most vehemently to resist and deny. The immigration of Caribbean blacks to the UK has placed them in adjacent geographical and social positions with the British working class and a sort of limited bond began to emerge.
Subculture: The Meaning of Style – Wikipedia
The book was published inbut one can see many of the same factors at work today in which cultural movements are suppressed, contained and incorporated into the larger culture. In my opinion, this is the best academic work on punk rock culture. Don’t be fooled by the size of the book. Hebdige walks smoothly through the history of post WWII style to give to me at least a clear and interesting view into a culture that adores chaos.
The fact that it took me almost 2.

Creating Captive Readers
I have been anxiously anticipating the newest edition of Jim Trelease’s Read Aloud Handbook. The waiting has reminded me that I need to be reading and reading and reading with my kids. But if it’s not bedtime, then sometimes My Little Reader is resistant to sitting down with a book (he would rather be playing Legos). So I’ve been trying to get creative with reading to him in moments where he doesn’t have much else he could be doing. I’ve been trying to catch him as a captive audience. And in this digital age we’re living in, that’s tough!
So here are some ideas of places you might find your child to be a captive reading audience.
1. In the bathtub. Rub-a-dub-dub, they can’t easily escape from the tub. I figured that even if my son was playing with his toys in the tub, he still might catch some of what I was reading him. And it turned out that he became more interested in the stories than his toys.
2. The bathroom. We have to do “sit time” every day with our son right now. I could just send him in there to sit by himself. Or I could steal those moments to sneak in a story while he’s still and stuck!
3. Appointments and waiting times. I know the go-to these days is the smart phone or Ipad to entertain in these moments. But what if you just happened to “forget” to bring those one day? Or you loaded them up with some awesome storybook apps?
4. The car. I don’t utilize my car enough lately. Now I can’t read while I’m driving. But my kids will almost always sit and look at a book while they’re strapped down in the car. Keep the car stocked with some high-interest books. For my kids that would look like comic books and favorite character stories. Maybe some look-and-find type books.
5. The table. Have nothing to talk about at the kitchen table? Or maybe you’re like our family and you need to keep the bickering to a minimum. Whip out a book and start reading. Sure, it sometimes makes it hard to eat your own meal. But when the kids finish eating and clear the table you can finish your own dinner in quiet solitude… maybe with your own book to read!
6. While they are doing a favorite activity. My Little Reader will absolutely listen to a story if a slide up next to him with a book while he’s building with his Legos. Especially if it’s a Lego City story. I know not all activities allow this, but what about while they’re painting or coloring, playing with dolls, or putting together a puzzle?
7. Cleaning time. Hopefully, your kids help out around the house and you (and/or your spouse) are not stuck with all the chores yourself. My kids have daily and weekly chores they help with. And chore time might be a lot more pleasant for us all if I pulled out a book and took the time to read to them while they dusted or folded laundry. They have to do it anyway, might as well make the most of the moment! Who knows, they might come to look forward to cleaning time!
8. Create special reading moments. Maybe new traditions or fun surprises that your child might then associate with books in the future – like a reading picnic. I think I might try some breakfast and lunch picnics in the yard this summer with books! We even have little tents I made last summer that would make this extra fun. How fun would it be for them to wake up and find a picnic and stories waiting for them at breakfast!
Have ideas for finding moments to read to your kids as a captive audience? Please share in the comments; I need all the ideas I can get! | [

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has slashed state-regulated bus and rail transport fare by 25%.
The Lagos State Metropolitan Area Transport Authority made this known in a statement on its X page on Monday.
The statement titled, ‘Lagos approves 25% fare rebate for regulated bus and rail transport’, was signed by the LAMATA Head of Corporate Communication, Kolawole Ojelabi.
It read, “Responding to calls for the reinstatement of the 50% rebate on fare for regulated bus and rail transport, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has directed the implementation of 25 per cent discount beginning Tuesday, 7th November 2023.
“Governor Sanwo-Olu had on 2nd August 2023 announced a 50% discount in fare on regulated transport bus and rail transport which ended on Sunday.
“Following appeals to the Governor, he has extended the passenger fare reduction by 25% across the regulated bus and rail transport services until another review is announced.
“Within the three months period of the rebate, the pump price of diesel jumped from N867 in August to N1,300 in November 2023 representing about 50 per cent jump.” | [

MARCH 25 – Exodus 36; John 15; Proverbs 12; Ephesians 5
IN THE CONTEMPORARY CLIMATE, a straightforward reading of Ephesians 5:21-33 is increasingly unpopular. Without descending to details, I shall venture my understanding of the flow of the passage.
(1) Oddly, the NIV prints 5:21 (“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”) as a separate paragraph. In the original, this is the last of a string of par- ticipial expressions that fill out what it means to be filled with the Spirit (5:18): functionally, being filled with the Spirit means everything in 5:19-21. Moreover, the words “submit to one another” should not be taken in a mutually reciprocal way, as if exhorting all Christians to submit to one another reciprocally. For: (a) the verb “to submit” in Greek always refers to submission in some sort of ordered array, never to mutual deference; (b) the idea is then picked up in the following “household table” of duties: wives submit to husbands, children to parents, and slaves to masters (5:22—6:4); (c) the same vision of submission is repeated in the New Testament (Col. 3:18-19; Titus 2:4-5; 1 Pet. 3:1-6); (d) the Greek pronoun rendered “one another” is often not reciprocal (e.g., Rev. 6:4).
(2) Nevertheless, certain things must be said about the wife’s submission to her husband (5:22-24). (a) It is not to be confused with certain pathetic stereotypes—groveling, self-pity, unequal pay for equal work (as if God were the God of injustice), and the like. (b) This submission is modeled on the church’s respon- sibility to submit to Christ. This brings up large issues of typology that cannot be explored here. But practically, it ought to reduce nagging, belittling one’s husband, browbeating manipulation, and the like. (c) This submission does not deny equal worth (both are made in the image of God) or perfect functional equality in many domains (e.g., sexual rights, in 1 Cor. 7).
(3) Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church (5:25-33)— which at the very least means loving their wives self-sacrificially and for their good. More explicitly, the husband’s love for his wife must mirror Christ’s love for his church (a) in its self-sacrifice (5:25); (b) in its goal (5:26-28a), seeking her good and her holiness; (c) in its self-interest (5:28b-30)—for there is a kind of identification that the husband makes with his wife, as Christ identifies himself with his church; (d) in its typological fulfillment (5:31-33)—which again introduces huge typological structures that run right through the Bible.
The responsibilities of both husband and wife are dramatically opposed to self- interest.

Allstate sues Toyota in gas pedal cases
Insurer seeks more than $3M for clients involved in collisions caused by defects
The Detroit News
Allstate Insurance Co. has sued Toyota Motor Corp., alleging that some of the insurer’s customers were involved in collisions resulting from faulty gas pedals and other defects in Toyota vehicles.
Allstate said Monday it was seeking more than $3 million in a suit that underscores Toyota’s challenge to move beyond quality and safety problems that emerged last year and led to the recall of millions of vehicles.
Toyota rejected the allegations. “While we have not seen the complaint, based on reports we believe the unfounded allegations in this suit have no basis,” Toyota Motor Sales USA. said in a statement.
Earlier Monday, the automaker briefed reporters on its progress establishing tighter quality controls and fixing about 3.7 million recalled vehicles. Bloomberg News reported the lawsuit later in the day.
“Allstate believes some of our customers were involved in collisions as a result of faulty accelerator pedals and other vehicle defects on Toyota vehicles and that Toyota should be held accountable for the financial impact of these accidents,” said Christina Loznicka, a spokeswoman for the Northbrook, Ill., insurer.
“Allstate, like other insurers, has filed a subrogation lawsuit against Toyota in the state of California,” she said. In subrogation suits, insurers try to recoup claims from manufacturers on the grounds that the products are defective.
The suit cited data from Safety Research & Strategies Inc. of Rehoboth, Mass., a safety advocacy firm that works with plaintiffs’ lawyers.
Safety Research President Sean Kane had not read the suit. But he said such suits by insurers against carmakers were unusual, suggesting a possible breakdown in negotiations.In its complaint in California state court, Allstate alleged that sudden acceleration accounted for at least 725 accidents with 304 injuries and 18 fatalities, citing Safety Research and Strategies data.
Toyota has recalled more than 9 million vehicles worldwide since last fall, most of them in the United States, mostly to address problems that could lead to unintended acceleration.
The company said Monday that its U.S. dealers have provided fixes to around 3.7 million vehicles, which were recalled to repair pedals that could stick, update braking software and prevent a risk of pedal entrapment that could cause cars to accelerate.
The automaker plans to expand the scope of rapid-response “Smart” teams formed to investigate complaints of unintended acceleration of Toyota vehicles to look into other problems as they come up. Since April, complaints of unintended acceleration of Toyota vehicles have dropped sharply to fewer than 150 calls a week to a customer hotline from around 800, Toyota said.
In all its repairs and investigations to date, Toyota executives reiterated that the company found no instances of unintended acceleration resulting from problems with the electronic throttle control system.
“Our goal is to set new, even higher standards for quality assurance and customer responsiveness in both the factory and the market,” said Steve St. Angelo, Toyota’s chief quality officer for North America.
The Smart teams are drawn from more than 200 engineers and field technicians. | [

Offering one of the toughest bike courses on the IRONMAN race circuit, IRONMAN Lanzarote celebrates 24 years in style this year with a record-sized field of over 2,000 athletes.
The race was conceived by race director Kenneth Gasque after he competed at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in 1985. Like the race that inspired it all, Lanzarote (which offers 40 qualifying spots for Kona) is set on a volcanic island. Just 60 miles (100 km) off the coast of Africa, the area is part of Spain, despite the fact that it’s a four-hour flight from Madrid.
What makes this event truly unique is the bike course. In addition to riding through a series of lava fields, athletes experience breathtaking ocean views, two spectacular mountain climbs and a series of technical, high-speed descents before returning to the transition area in the seaside resort town of Puerto del Carmen. The day begins on the town’s beautiful beach and ends there with a three-loop run.
The competition promises to be tough amongst the pro athletes as some of last year’s top five finishers are back to fight for the title, including two-time winner Bert Jammaer (BEL), Miquel Blanchart (ESP) and Kiril Kotsegarrov (EST). Another man to watch will be Frenchman Romain Giullaume, a former champion at IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant renowned for his strong bike skills.
2013 women’s winner, Kirsten Möller (GER), returns hoping to make it a double, though this won't come easy as she takes on last year's third-place finisher Saleta Castro. Her countrywoman Sonja Tajsich is both a multiple IRONMAN champion and top finisher in Kona and could be considered the favorite tomorrow. Others to watch will be Great Britain’s Corinne Abraham, Lucy Gossage and Joanna Carritt.
There are some inspiring age group competitors we’ll be watching, too.
- British father and son (David and Chris Hamlett) are doing their ninth IRONMAN event together.
- Danish fitness celebrity Charlotte Bircow is dong her first IRONMAN race after having cancer only two years ago.
- Sheika Hessa Alkahlifa aims to become the first ever woman from Bahrain to complete an IRONMAN race.
- Arnoud Bouvier comes to Lanzarote to finish his 32nd IRONMAN race
- Sean Duffy, member of the Household Cavalry in Knightsbridge, London is doing his very first triathlon here at IRONMAN Lanzarote as part of his fitness training and, as a very strong swimmer, he could be one of the first out of the water.

RED FLAGs Remain in Place,&
Public Again Advised to Stay Out of Ocean
(Posted Wednesday, July 25, 2018 @ 5:30 pm)
Confirmed Drowning in Emerald Isle This Afternoon
Town officials have confirmed a drowning this afternoon in Emerald Isle. More details about this incident will be released as they become available.
The 41-year old male was recovered from the ocean in the 9000 block of Emerald Isle at approximately 2:30 pm today, but, unfortunately, efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
The Town extends its deepest condolences to his family, and is working to assist the family at this difficult time.
Red Flags Remain in Place in Emerald Isle
Dangerous surf conditions continue in Emerald Isle, and RED FLAGS remain in place along the Town's entire ~ 12 miles of ocean beach. As has been the case since Sunday, the public is again advised to stay out of the ocean until further notice. Dangerous surf conditions are expected to continue for the foreseeable future, and RED FLAGS will remain in place until conditions improve.
Despite the fact that the RED FLAGS have been in place all week, some individuals still choose to enter the ocean water. Town and other area emergency personnel were dispatched to 4 water rescue calls within less than one hour this afternoon, involving several individuals, due to people ignoring these warnings. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE OCEAN, as you are putting yourself, others, and our emergency personnel at risk unnecessarily.
Red Flags Will Be Removed When Conditions Warrant
Emerald Isle Fire Department and Lifeguard staff will continue to monitor conditions in Emerald Isle multiple times daily, and will continue consulting the National Weather Service in order to determine when the conditions warrant removal of the flags and a return to normal recreational use of the ocean in Emerald Isle.
This decision will be communicated via numerous digital platforms, including the Town's website ( https://www.emeraldisle-nc.org/ ), the Town's Facebook page (Town of Emerald Isle, NC is the official page of Town government), the Town's Twitter feed (@townemeraldisle), via the Emerald Isle App (available for download - search Town of Emerald Isle, NC), via the Town's email newsletter list (sign up at https://www.emeraldisle-nc.org/join-email-list ), and via text message alerts - sign up at https://www.emeraldisle-nc.org/email-text-notifications.
Learn More, and Know What to Do in a Rip Current
Each of the Town's public access locations (large regional accesses and neighborhood accesses) include signage that explain what to do if you find yourself caught in a rip current. Please take the time to read it when you head out to the beach!

About gold plated timber, renewables and Gasinstan
In Groningen, a province in the very North of Holland, lies an enormous gas field, formed during some 50,000 years. In the last 50 years we already used 80% of it. Such big swallowing in so little time was too much for Mother Earth, so it resulted in several earthquakes and ground subsidence’s. This caused 11.000 sagging houses, with serious damage.
The owners have been protesting for decades. It seemed unrealistic that they would ever succeed. First, their houses are in the remotest area in the Netherlands, very far from the government in The Hague. Second, the exploration of the gas field is for 50% owned by the State, which brings in a load of money in the States purse. And last but not least, the other 50% is owned by Shell and Exxon, and they have a special place in the hearts of the neo-liberals who run the country last decade.
Now, what happens? If you write this in a book, the reader would not believe it. These remote 11.000 people managed to get it on the national political agenda. And keep it there. For years. Some 7 years ago, the government finally agreed to pay a part of their claims. And, the government agreed to squeeze the gas supply each year a bit more.
So now, Holland needs to buy gas abroad; until now this came from Russia. It is about 15% of the gas Holland uses.
15% Reduction is a piece of cake – not!
Due to the conflict with Putin, Holland can expect a 15% shortage of gas. There are reserves to survive next winter, but from then on, a 15% reduction is necessary. As you know, on ‘Ya’ we reduced our energy use with about 80%. So, 15% should be a piece of cake. And indeed, the Dutch authority on gas, Dutch Association for Sustainable Energy, made a recommendation to reduce the use. A 15% reduction can easily be realized.
Guess what? Not! In Holland it is different. Perhaps the intimacy between our current government and the big energy companies stands in the way; however, the use and exploration of fossil fuels continue to be stimulated. Two examples:
1. While all European countries have subsidies on house insulation, the Dutch government stalled hers till January ’22. The ministry now subsidizes house insulation to a maximum of only 30%, and under special conditions. For example in France, the government simply subsidizes 100% of every house insulation.
2. The Netherlands is a paradise for oil and gas companies. We pamper them. Holland is a tax haven for them, like Guernsey and the Cayman Islands. And, they get grants easily and under sweet conditions. Hence the fossil energy could stay cheaper than the renewable energy. (That is, until the Russians invaded Ukrain and the fossil fuels prices exploded).
So, forget the reduction. Not the boycott, not even the high prices for fossil fuel that result from Putin’s actions seem to be able make the Dutch government taking reduction actions.
So the Ministry of Energy goes for energy from somewhere.
Gas instantly, a tempting Gasinstan contract
this is a great opportunity to switch to more renewable energy, and wind farms can replace gas pretty well. Holland is pretty far behind in her planning on the energy transition. Time to make up the backlog.
But, the process to put a serious wind farm at sea, takes about two to three years of bureaucracy; the government is not able to speed that up. And, we need the energy within one year,. A politician can’t wait longer, he can not leave his voters in the cold.
So, forget the renewables too. Replacing the Russian gas must go faster.
Then, let’s see…. gas from somewhere else? The Dutch government has already sent people to check it out in Azerbeizjan, Uzbekistan and other Gas-in-stan countries. Good for gas instantly.
The great advantage is that, as soon as the contract is signed, it only takes a year for the first delivery. In that year they can build the infrastructure: pump stations, gas tanks, etcetera, perhaps even a harbor extension for the gas tankers.
This requires big investments, so such contracts are always for at least 20 years. And, of course, you agree on the price for the whole period.
But, it can be done in a year. That’s a quick fix, and that’s what counts for any politician.
At any price?
The price tag
We’re talking lots of money here.
Just to give an idea, already in April the Netherlands paid Russia 34 million per day, would be on annual basis more than 12 billion Euros. Meanwhile, the price of gas is about 20 times higher than it was before the Ukrain war.

How a Backflow Preventer Works
When can backflow occur?
There are two conditions where pressure changes can contribute to the reversal of flow:
Backsiphonage: This happens when there is a negative pressure in the supply piping, allowing downstream substances to be siphoned back into the potable water supply. Under-sized pipes, pipeline breaks, and high withdrawal rates can create vacuums, which contribute to the occurrence of backsiphonage.
Backpressure: This happens when the flow pressure downstream is higher than the supply, allowing downstream substances to be pushed into the potable water supply. This can be created by pumps, thermal expansion and elevation. | [

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson (BS :), its CEO and chief financial officer have been named as defendants in a US class action lawsuit for defrauding investors about the company’s business in Iraq, according to a New York court filing on Friday.
Ericsson is at the center of a scandal over potential payments to the Islamic State in Iraq. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice said it violated the 2019 Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) because it did not fully disclose details of its operations in Iraq.
A lawsuit filed by the law firm Pomerantz in the Eastern District Court of New York states that Ericsson, among other things, misled investors by exaggerating the extent to which it eliminated the use of bribes.
An Ericsson spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment, but Ericsson said in a brief statement that the company and “certain (company) officials” had been named as defendants in connection with “allegedly false and misleading statements” regarding Iraq.
Under the terms of the 2019 DPA, Ericsson paid more than $ 1 billion to solve a series of corruption investigations, including bribery in China, Vietnam and Djibouti, and agreed to cooperate with the ongoing investigation department.
Ericsson has lost almost a third of its market value since the media reported that there was an alleged myth in February.
Ericsson said an internal investigation, which ended in 2019 but was only made public in February after media inquiries, identified payments aimed at circumventing Iraqi customs at a time when militant organizations, including Islamic State, controlled some routes.

Monday, October 24, 2011 – According to local authorities in western Afghanistan, at least two Afghan police officers were killed following a roadside bomb explosion in western Herat province.
The officials further added, the incident took place on Sunday evening in Shindand district.
Provincial governor spokesman for Herat province Moeuddin Noori confirming the incident said, at least two police officers were killed following a roadside bomb explosion while they were patrolling in the area.
No group including the Taliban militants have so far claimed responsibility behind the incident.
Taliban militants frequently use Improvised Explosive Device and roadside bombs as their weapon of choice to target Afghan and coalition forces.
The wave of insurgency have increased in a number of regions of western Herat province since Afghan security forces received security responsibilities of this province during the first phase of security transition.
In a separate incident at least three Afghan police forces were injured following a roadside bomb explosion in eastern Nangarhar province.
According to local officials, the incident took place around 9 am early Monday morning near a police check post in this province. | [

while he keeps his Affections and Appetites in subjection to his Will, and his Will to his Reason, he is calm and quiet, and enjoys within himself perpetual Ease and Tranquillity; But when once he breaks this order, and suffers his Passions or his Appetites to usurp the Place of his Reason ; to impose contrary Ends to it, or prescribe contrary Means ; his Faculties, like disjoynted Members, are in perpetual Anguish and Anxiety. And hence it is that in the Course of a wicked Life, we feel fuch restless Contentions between our Spirit and Flesh, between the Law in our Minds, and the Law in our Members; because our Nature is out of Tune, and its Faculties are displaced and disordered, and that sovereign Principle of Reason which should sway and govern us, is deposed, and made a Vassal to our Appetites and Passions. For in all our evil Courses we chufe and refuse, refolve and alt, not as Reafon directs us, but as Sense and Paffian biastes us; and our Reason having nothing to do in all this Brutifhe Scene of Action, either sleeps it out, without minding or regarding, or else fits by as an idle Spectator of it, and only censures and condemns it. And it is this that caufes all that Tumult and Contest that is in our Natures; and till, by the Exercise of Prudence, our Faculties are reduced, and set in order again, our Mind will be like our Body, while its Bones are out of Joint, continually reftleßand unquiet. And therefore to remove this great Indisposition of our Nature to Happiness,Prudence is required of us as one of the principal Virtues of the Heavenly Part of the Claristian Life.
For For thus our Saviour injoyns that we should be wise as Serpents as well as harmleß as Doves, Mat. x. 16. which though it be here prescribed in a particular Cafe only, viz. that of Persecution ; yet since the Reason of it extends to all other Cafes, and it is fit we should be Prudent in all our Undertakings as well as in suffering Perfecution, it is upon that account equivalent to an universal Command. So also Eph. v. 15. See that ye walk circumspectly, not as faols, but as wise; iie. In the whole Course of your Actions take heed that ye follow the Guidance of your Reafon, and do not suffer your selves to be feduced by your blind Passions and Appetites, which are meer Ignes Fatui, or the Guides of Fools. And accordingly the ApoItle prays for his Christian Colossians, That they might be filled with the Knowledge of God in all Wifi dom and spiritual Understanding, Coli.9. i.e. That they might have such a knowledge of God's will as might render them truly prudent, and cause them to pursue the best Ends by the best Means. And though this Virtue feldom occurs in the new Teftament under its own Name, yet, as in the above named places it is expressed by Wisdom, fo it is elsewhere by Knowledge, as particularly, 2 Cor. yi. 6. where he commands the Ministers of the Church to approve themselves fuch by several Virtues, and particularly by Pureneß, i.e. Continence, and by Knowledge, i.e. by Prudence. For, besides that Knowledge as it signifies an Understanding of Divine Things, was not a Virtue in the Apostles, but a Gift of God, and so not proper to be enumerated amongst chefe Virtues; there is hardly any Account to be given why the Apostle
should place Knowledge in the midst of so many Moral Virtues, if he did not thereby mean the Virtue of Prudence, which is, as it were, the Eye and Guide of all the other Virtues. So again, 2 Pet. i. 6. where he bids us add to Faith, Virtue, i. e. Fortitude, or Constancy of Mind; and to Virtue Knowledge, and to Knowledge Temperance; By Knowledge it is highly probable he means Prudence, because he places it in ihe midst of those two Virtues which border neareit upon Prudence.
Now that the Practice of this Virtue is a most proper and effectual Means of our Everlasting Happines, is evident from hence; Because the Practice of it is a constant Exercise of Reason, For to act prudently in Religion is to follow the best Reason ; to aim at Heaven, which is | [

Ukrainian intelligence has stated that they’re “making an attempt to kill” the Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, however Vladimir Putin is on the prime of their “hit record.”
Vadym Skibitsky, the deputy head of Ukraine’s intelligence company instructed Die Welt the German newspaper “We’re making an attempt to kill him.”
Putin is on the prime of their assassination record as a result of the Russian chief “coordinates and decides what occurs” within the Ukraine battle.
Each single one that props up Putin’s regime is on the hit record and the Ukrainian intelligence chief has warned they’ll hunt and “will hold killing Russians wherever” on the earth and they’ll solely cease as soon as there’s “full victory of Ukraine.”
Learn extra on Russia-Ukraine battle:
US livid American weapons used to assault Russian metropolis of Belgorod, saying they’ve ‘been fairly darn clear’
Skibitsky stated, “Ultimately, everybody should reply for his or her actions. Chief of the Basic Employees Valery Gerasimov and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu deliberate the assault and now they can’t flip again.
“We’re at battle and these are our enemies. If an vital determine manufactures and funds weapons for [Russia], then his elimination would save the lives of many civilians.
“In accordance with worldwide conventions, this can be a respectable aim.”
The Russian spy chief Valery Gerasimov, the Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Putin together with many others are on Kyiv’s assassination record.
Attempting to assassinate Putin is little extra tricker regardless of him “now starting to stay his head out” and he has so many doubles it means Kyiv’s spies are by no means sure that it’s “actually him.”
US intelligence businesses and Skibitsky have stated that Putin is noticing Ukraine are “getting ever nearer to him” and the Russian chief can also be “afraid of being killed by his personal individuals.”
The deputy intelligence chief added, “In the end, nonetheless, everybody should reply for his or her actions.
“Chief of Employees Valery Gerasimov and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu deliberate the assault and now they can’t flip again.”
Skibitsky spoke to Die Welt concerning the Wagner chief, he stated, “After all, Prigozhin, as one of many vital actors on this battle, should be eradicated. That is 100% true, so they’re doing completely the precise steps.
“I all the time say that the enemy should be handled with respect. After all, I respect their choice as effectively.”
He added that “Basic Armageddon” Sergei Surovikin is on the hit record.
“We’re at battle and these are our enemies,’ he stated. ‘If an vital determine produces and funds weapons for them, then its elimination would save the lives of many civilians.
“After which he will get worn out. In accordance with worldwide conventions, it’s then a respectable goal.” | [

In a time when America is averaging more than one mass shooting per day*, the good people of Burlington just suffered through several weeks of a homeless man riding his bike around town with a rifle strapped to his back.
*FBI definition: four or more people shot in a single incident, not including the shooter. We’ve had 29 in July so far.
Per Seven Days’ Mark Davis, police “found [Malcolm Tanner] to be ‘incoherent,’ and he insisted that laws do not apply to him.” But they did nothing about him because “he did not seem to be breaking any laws.”

Birth of maize farming in Mexico dated back to 5,300 BC
Researcher Mary Pohl conducted an analysis of sediments in the Gulf Coast state of Tabasco and concluded that people there were planting crops in the New World about 5300 BC.
The discovery of cultivated maize in Tabasco, a tropical lowland area, challenges previously held ideas that Mesoamerican farming originated in the semi-arid highlands of Mexico and shows an earlier than previously believed exchange of food plants.
The results of Pohl's study appear in yesterday's edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

After the big budget Mute and Bright turned out to be, respectively, a disappointing misfire and an unmitigated disaster, Netflix now unveil The Outsider, and unfortunately their run of expensive failures continues.
Set in post-war Japan, circa 1954, Jared Leto stars as Nick Lowell, a U.S. soldier who is now languishing in prison, an outcast among the local populace. Thin and bearded, Nick keeps to himself, but attracts attention when he saves fellow inmate Kiyoshi (Tadanobu Asano) from rival yakuza members. Owing a debt to his foreign saviour, Kiyoshi organises a plan to get them both out of their harsh environment, and it’s a scheme that proves successful.
Disconnected from his own country and fellow soldiers, Nick accepts an offer to join the Shiramatsu gang, where Kiyoshi is an important member. Reluctantly taken in by boss Akihiro (Min Tanaka), and viewed with suspicious eyes by the high-ranking Orochi (Kippei Shina), Nick learns the ropes remarkably fast, but threatens his friendship with Kiyoshi by starting a romance with his younger sister Miyu (Shioli Kutsuna), in a subplot that seems quite similar to the one in Brian De Palma’s Scarface (1983).
Chaos and violence become the order of the day when Shiramatsu are forced into a turf war with rival gang Seizu, run by Hiromitsu (Nao Omori), who want to take over the profitable Osaka port. Hiromitsu, whose father had a gentlemen’s agreement with Akihiro, isn’t interested in the old way of doing things, but rather wants everything that the industrial rebuilding the country is going through has to offer.
Nick has to deal with the internal fighting happening within his own gang, confront Kiyoshi about his growing relationship with Miyu, and protect his new love from the violent world he has decided to exist in.
The Outsider is a mess from the very beginning. With a wealth of material to explore, screenwriter Andrew Baldwin (who penned the 2016 action flick The Take with Idris Elba) instead focuses on every cliché connected to the crime thriller, while also viewing Japan via every stereotype audiences have seen in the movies. It’s about as culturally and historically insightful as Memoirs of a Geisha, and Baldwin seems to show no interest in the substantial changes happening not only in Japan, but around the world, and what Leto’s character could have symbolised. This complete lack of depth makes the whole white-guy-in-a-foreign-land scenario appear stale and dated.
Baldwin’s script is pure, unadulterated pulp, the filmic equivalent of a cheap crime paperback. But instead of giving us a vividly detailed locale populated by colourful individuals, Baldwin keeps everything utterly superficial, supplying characters with little or no backstory, causing the viewer to quickly lose interest in the overly familiar plot.
Compounding this problem is Martin Zandvliet (who helmed the Oscar nominated war drama Land of Mine), who directs the trashy material as if it were The Godfather (an assassination montage, as well as the film’s ending are very reminiscent of the Coppola classics), but all this manages to do is make everything even more laughable and hollow. The lethargic pace and overlength also doesn’t help proceedings.
Leto is simply abysmal as Nick, showing no emotional nuance, personality, or even the slightest hint of a character arc. A man of few words and dressed slickly in a black suit, Leto seems to be trying to channel Alain Delon from Le Samurai (or maybe even a moody soul from one of Johnnie To’s films), but has neither the charisma or presence to pull it off. Sure the script gives him nothing to work with, but Leto’s flatline interpretation is excruciating.
The Japanese cast fare better, but are also hamstrung by Baldwin’s second-rate script. Asano (Maborosi, Ichi the Killer, The Taste of Tea, Kabei: Our Mother), who was so good in Martin Scorsese’s Silence, at least offers a performance, but the perfunctory role never allows this talented actor to truly shine. Shina (Outrage, Assassination Classroom 1 and 2, 64 Part 1 and 2) has fun as Orochi, and gives the film its liveliest moments; Omori (The Ravine of Goodbye, R100, Ichi the Killer, Fish Story) is relaxed during his limited screen time; Tanaka (The Tale of Iya | [

Probably the most comprehensive article on how to be a smart woman, and find a simple female happiness
If a woman is confident that once the man said the word "love" in her direction need to immediately jump into the maelstrom of head and body in his bed, the more it is not necessary to read and even more so it is not necessary to read the entire series of articles on how to become intelligent woman because it will all be useless - intelligent woman she had never become.
Simple woman's happiness, such as a happy love, husband, family, children, a home - you need every woman. But if an ordinary woman is convinced that happy love you just found the right man, the wise woman knows that love is just like any other human relationship requires certain directing effort.
Smart woman leaves nothing to chance, it follows its rules and principles belonging to its code of personal happiness, she is well aware that passion has nothing to do with love, and that in order to love the passion turned into a need to work hard on this, despite the fact that the result of such work can not be guaranteed and are often not worth the game worth the candle.
A smart woman can distinguish passionate love, as it happens at the beginning of the common passion arises easily and just as easily the cooling of the actions that performs or does not make a man love and she just simply does not enter into hopeless passionate relationship because such a relationship in the end lead to frustration, heartache and suffering can last for years, while the very passion rarely lasts more than a few months.
While ordinary woman hanging upside down in a whirlpool of love enjoying the ups and downs in the abyss of passion, clever woman quietly and slowly building a relationship with a beloved man leading to Marriage, birth of children, a happy marriage, welfare and prosperity.
Plain woman is not able to be happy outside the relationship with a man, as a man without her life is empty and boring, because it is not realized in life and society, it is not able to solve their problems on their own, a life without a man from the ordinary woman to go to a meeting with the expectation "their" man, "a man of destiny," which will come by itself and solve all her problems, make it beautiful, healthy, wealthy, happy, successful! And these expectations are often leave empty language all short "Babi century».
A smart woman can be happy with both men and without it. Although she does not think her life complete if there is no happy love, but she never asks the heavens "how to live?", Because her life is full of urgent tasks, concerns, accomplishments, achievements, friends, travel, pleasure, work... and men, of which she, if she wants to always find a suitable for yourself, even if it is now with him and do not know.
Happiness smart women, depends not on love or dislike of the man, not the will of blind chance, not by the machinations of rivals or help friends, but only on her own.
So, the main difference between the relationship of love on the part of a clever woman of ordinary women is that it not only understands love as a system of actions leading to the special relationship between a man and a woman called "love", but actively making meaningful efforts to build such relations, while ordinary woman leaves all to chance.
Being an intelligent woman - is not a gift from heaven, it is a continuous and tireless work on themselves, on relationships and on his beloved.
If a woman chooses to go with the love of the will of the waves, it is not surprising that soon would be around coastal foam, river mud, sand, dirt yes, and she was like a chip will hang among this unsightly environment.
Choosing a partner
Ordinary women often do not choose a man for a relationship, it is given to the first who himself drew attention to it, begin courting, or simply offer a relationship or proposal...... lately the most common, men are less likely to waste time for an indefinite period of courtship and seduction. And what can we expect in the future from the relationship started in a similar way? Only the sudden closure of a man due to saturation and boredom, painful parting and a few months of suffering, emotional issues, and throwing herself in the style of "Why it is so, they say that love?»
Improper male surfer is like - it always appears on the wave of passion. Smart woman knowing this does not make any difference gives passion, she throws herself into the arms of a man just because he is something out there passionately poured out to her. Smart woman knows how easily the passion flares up in men's hearts, so with the same elegant ease it in, and go out.
Smart woman does not divide the men nor the signs of the zodiac, nor on psychological types or classifications of stupid of women's magazines. She divides them into two groups of all - on suitable and unsuitable | [

It is inevitable for a company to experience the need for organizational change. Strategic choices taken by leaders of a firm are often based on the need to gain or keep a competitive advantage (Oreg & Berson, 2019). This transition can be a result of restructuring, merging, new technology, optimization, and other factors that affect the performance of a company in the market (Oreg & Berson, 2019). In this essay, the acceptance of change will be discussed in the context of the restaurant industry.

In this type of business, an organizational change is often linked with shifts in customers’ preferences. Simultaneously, a significant portion of customers expects a level of consistency from an establishment, leading to controversial signals and a stressful work environment (Prange, 2020). The temporary decrease in performance is inevitable during these transitions, but they also bring an opportunity to increase output in the long term (Gigliotti et al., 2018). Miscommunication, negative feedback, troubles in the kitchen, and other adverse encounters are to be expected when such a change is introduced.
Despite these factors, there are methods of mitigating their impact on employees’ stress levels. Workers are more likely to accept new practices when they perceive their benefits, and leaders must be able to explain the positive effects of a change (Gigliotti et al., 2018). Moreover, support of a new practice depends on employees’ trust in the competency of their leaders (Gigliotti et al., 2018). Positive relationships also increase the emotional resilience of employees, which can be promoted via such practices as leisure time in the workplace, employee clubs, and teambuilding activities (Yang et al., 2020). Personally, as a leader within this industry, I would work towards the creation of a team that is emotionally prepared for changes in their routine.
A leader needs to monitor any changes in productivity of employees during a transition period to decide whether the group can handle the stress without additional intervention or not. A short questionnaire can reveal new data regarding the impact of a change. For example, it might be necessary for a restaurant to redesign an entire menu or some items from it, which can lead to numerous stressful factors introduced to employees. The analysis of the profitability and popularity of each dish is an essential tool in determining the need for such a change (Prange, 2020). First of all, this information needs to be delivered to employees in a clear statement that defines the reasons and increases the acceptance among workers.
However, a new item on the menu is more likely to cause mishaps during its preparation, which increases the stress and anxiety of workers. As a leader, I must provide meaningful assistance that will reduce these mishaps to a minimum, which can be achieved by assigning chefs to train each other in tasks that are not yet perfected. I must be open to any feedback and be able to help employees with frustration that might come from a temporary drop in performance. A major part of the success of an organizational change will lie in the past work aimed toward the creation of a team spirit.
In conclusion, many stressful situations may occur in the workplace in the restaurant industry stemming from the changes in an organization. It is up to a leader to mitigate the impact of this stress by providing an emotional outlet for employees, and increasing their understanding of the situation and its benefits. A leader can alleviate this stress by gaining workers’ trust and promoting mutual positive relationships among them.
