Selecting a life partner is one of the most significant decisions one will make in life. While feelings of love and attraction are essential, basing this decision solely on emotions can lead to potential pitfalls. It’s crucial to consider deeper, more enduring factors such as shared values and essential relationship traits. This article delves into the science-based aspects of making an informed choice for a life partner, focusing on values and relationship traits.
The Role of Values in Relationships
1. Shared Values Foster Long-term Compatibility
Values are the guiding principles that dictate our behavior and decision-making processes. Research indicates that couples who share core values tend to have more stable and satisfying relationships. A study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family found that shared values about family, work, and social life significantly predict marital satisfaction and longevity.
2. Alignment in Life Goals and Priorities
When partners share similar life goals and priorities, they are more likely to support each other in achieving them. This alignment reduces conflicts and creates a sense of partnership and teamwork. For instance, if both partners value career advancement and are willing to support each other’s professional aspirations, they are more likely to understand the demands and sacrifices required.
3. Cultural and Religious Values
Cultural and religious values can play a crucial role in a relationship. A study in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships highlighted that couples with similar cultural and religious backgrounds often have a stronger bond due to shared traditions and rituals. These shared practices can provide a sense of community and continuity, strengthening the relationship.
Essential Relationship Traits
1. Communication Skills
Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. Couples who can communicate openly and honestly about their needs, desires, and concerns are better equipped to resolve conflicts and build a deeper connection. Research by Dr. John Gottman, a renowned psychologist, emphasizes that good communication skills are predictive of relationship success. His studies show that couples who maintain a ratio of five positive interactions for every negative one are more likely to have lasting relationships.
2. Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence (EQ) involves recognizing, understanding, and managing our own emotions and the emotions of others. High EQ in partners leads to better empathy, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation. A study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that couples with higher emotional intelligence experience greater relationship satisfaction and stability.
3. Mutual Respect and Support
Mutual respect and support are fundamental to a healthy relationship. Respecting each other’s individuality and supporting each other’s personal growth fosters a nurturing and empowering environment. According to a study published in the Journal of Family Psychology, couples who show mutual respect and support are more resilient to stress and have higher levels of relationship satisfaction.
4. Adaptability and Flexibility
Life is unpredictable, and a successful partnership requires adaptability and flexibility. Couples who can adjust to changing circumstances and support each other through life’s ups and downs tend to have stronger, more enduring relationships. A study in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found that adaptability in relationships is linked to higher levels of commitment and satisfaction.
Integrating Values and Traits into Relationship Decisions
1. Reflect on Personal Values
Before choosing a partner, it’s essential to reflect on your own values. What are the non-negotiable principles that guide your life? Understanding your own values will help you identify a partner who shares them.
2. Have Meaningful Conversations
Engage in deep and meaningful conversations with your potential partner about your values, life goals, and expectations. Discussing these topics early on can reveal whether you are on the same page and can build a life together.
3. Observe Relationship Traits
Pay attention to how your partner communicates, handles emotions, shows respect, and adapts to changes. These traits are often more telling of long-term compatibility than initial feelings of love and attraction.
4. Seek Professional Guidance
Consider seeking guidance from a relationship counselor or therapist. They can provide valuable insights and tools to help you navigate the complexities of choosing a life partner based on values and essential traits.
While feelings of love and attraction are vital, they should not be the sole basis for choosing a life partner. By prioritizing shared values and essential relationship traits such as communication skills, emotional intelligence, mutual respect, and adaptability, you can make a more informed and science-based decision. This approach not only fosters long-term compatibility but also builds a solid foundation for a fulfilling and enduring relationship.
In making one of life’s most important decisions, let your heart guide you, but let your values and relationship traits lead the way.

Atmospheric Science student
I started at IU as a freshman in August 2015 with an intended major in Atmospheric Science. I will graduate in May 2019.
What drew you into ATS? When did you know you wanted to study this field?
I always loved the weather and was fascinated with meteorology starting at a young age, but I never considered it as a topic of study or potential career path until the summer prior to my freshman year (summer of 2015). I saw that IU offered ATS on their list of majors, and was surprised and excited because I had no idea IU offered atmospheric science. I originally planned on majoring in biochemistry, but changed my mind immediately upon discovering this. I am so happy I did because I love studying atmospheric science, and the faculty, my fellow peers, and the curriculum are all so amazing.

OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canada has withdrawn 41 diplomats from India amid a dispute over the murder of a Sikh separatist leader, Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said on Thursday, adding that Ottawa would not take retaliatory steps.
New Delhi last month asked Ottawa to reduce its diplomatic presence after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cited what he said was credible evidence of a potential link between Indian agents and the murder in June of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, who was shot outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia.
Joly said India had threatened to unilaterally revoke the diplomats’ official status by Friday unless they left. This move, she said, was unreasonable and unprecedented and clearly violated the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations.
“Given the implications of India’s actions on the safety of our diplomats, we have facilitated their safe departure from India,” she told a press conference.
“If we allow the norm of diplomatic immunity to be broken, no diplomats anywhere on the planet would be safe. So for this reason, we will not reciprocate,” she said.
Canada now has 21 diplomats in India. The 41 who left were accompanied by 42 dependents.
India has dismissed as absurd Trudeau’s suspicions that its agents were linked to the murder of Nijjar, a Canadian citizen whom New Delhi had labeled a “terrorist.”
Around 2 million Canadians, around 5% of the overall population, have Indian heritage. India is by far Canada’s largest source of global students, making up for roughly 40% of study permit holders.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller said the diplomats’ departure meant Canada would slash the number of embassy staff dealing with immigration.
“We acknowledge the concerns and frustrations that this situation may cause for clients, families, educational institutions, communities, businesses in Canada as a whole,” he told the press conference.
Visa application centers in India are operated by third-party contractors and would not be affected, he said.

The software engineering and computing systems section performs teaching and conduct innovation & research in the systematic development of software taking its context into account. This ranges all the way from desktop computers over mobile devices to fully fledged system of systems and cyber-physical systems.
The employees provide courses on these topics in a long range of studies where the development of software is included. They are also involved in a long list of externally funded research and innovation projects and they are responsible for different facilities (centres, laboratories and software tool) accessible and used by a long list of stakeholders outside the section.
Both the educational activities as well as the innovation and research is targeting the development of high quality software using modern state-of-the-art tools including our own research results.
In our section we have decided not to organize ourselves in “research groups” as is common most places at universities. Instead, we have opted for a more dynamic structure where we have organized us in a collection of themes (focusing on both research and education) and each employee can then engage themselves in up to three themes that they have interests in. Below is a list of the current themes we operate.

Jerry Renault is not the best-liked kid in his school. He barely had any respect, even though he is the quarterback for his schools football team. In the beginning Jerry had lots of friends. But no one knew what is in store for Jerry. Jerry had no idea how his life is about to change. It is a tradition at Trinity to have a yearly chocolate sale. It is not mandatory to sell the chocolates, but no one ever refused.
A secret underground group called The Vigils likes to make the lives of Trinity students miserable. The Vigils like to give the students missions that they have to complete. The Vigils called for Jerry so they could brief him for his mission. The Vigils told Jerry to refuse to sell the chocolates for ten days then he would start to sell the chocolates. So Jerry accepted the conditions of his mission. Every thing would have gone fine for Jerry if the power crazy headmaster Brother Leon had not interfered in the student chocolate sale. Jerry noticed how refusing the chocolate was pushing Brother Leon over the edge so he continued to refuse them for more than his ten days. Brother Leon did not like it so he called The Vigils asking for help, they agreed.
The Vigils talked to Jerry and they gave him a new mission, they told him to start to sell the chocolates. Jerry still refused to sell the chocolates. The Vigils did not like the fact that Jerry is still refusing to sell the chocolates. So they hired people to hurt Jerry. They told people at football to hit him extra hard. Jerry did not know what he is getting himself into.
It is not smart for Jerry to defy The Vigils. Since Jerry refused to sell the chocolates the profits were slowly declining. The other students felt that if Jerry did not have to sell the chocolates that they did not either. Brother Leon is not very happy with the fact that the sales were going down so he talked to The Vigils and they agreed to help. The Vigils sent the school teams in to neighborhoods and told them to sell chocolates. The chocolates they were selling were being credited to the other peoples sales. So even though they were not making sales they were still getting them.
The sudden increase of sales made Brother Leon very happy. The Vigils still had a bone to pick with Jerry, they were very mad at him because he defied them. Archie, the assigner for The Vigils had a great idea to hurt Jerry and still sell the chocolates. He made a raffle for the chocolates. Archie decided to make Jerry box with a thug called Emile. Emile is an animal.
Archie put a twist on the boxing match he said that the raffle tickets were punches. He said that you could put any punch on the ticket, and the person who writes the KO punch wins the chocolates. Jerry and Emile agreed to the stipulations of the match, but they were both very confused. The first ticket is called Jerry right to the jaw. Even though Jerry did not like Emile he couldnt just hit him for any reason so Jerry swung but missed and barely hit Emile. Everyone booed and shouted nasty comments.
The next ticket is a right uppercut to the jaw. Emile used all his power to hit Jerry he almost knocked Jerry down. Things were going fine for a while until some one slipped in an illegal blow and it is called by accident. The fighters were confused. They both know it is an illegal punch and that the person being hit could not cover up but Jerry covered up. Then Emile was very confused so he just started hitting Jerry as hard as he could. Emile is too fast for Jerry, he was not able to hit Emile more than once. Emile continued to hit Jerry until someone shut off the lights.
Once the lights were cut off everyone in the stadium started to run. Brother Leon and Brother Jacques ran to the middle of the boxing ring and broke up the fight between Emile and Jerry. Brother Jacques is very mad at Archie and he was yelling at him. On the other hand Brother Leon is almost shaking hands with Archie and telling him good job.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, marking the latest high-profile Republican endorsement for a Democrat.
Cheney made the endorsement during an appearance at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy.
In her remarks, Cheney emphasized the danger she believes Donald Trump poses, stating, “Not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris.”
Cheney urged voters, especially in swing states, not to write in candidates’ names, stressing the importance of voting strategically in the current political climate.
Cheney, previously a member of Republican leadership, was ousted for her outspoken criticism of Trump. She has also warned that if Trump is re-elected, he may attempt to stay in power beyond his term.
In an interview on NBC’s “TODAY” show, Cheney reiterated that she would never vote for Trump and is committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure he is defeated in 2024.
In August, the Harris campaign received endorsements from over two dozen Republicans, many of whom have openly opposed Trump’s candidacy.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who also served on the Jan. 6 commission with Cheney, has endorsed Harris as well. Kinzinger had previously supported President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race and has been vocal about Trump’s impact on the GOP.
Cheney lost her House seat in 2022 after being defeated by a Trump-backed candidate in a Republican primary. She was first elected in 2016.

Rubber bands attach to the hooks on the braces. They use additional pressure to help teeth move in their right position. They are manufactured using medical-grade, durable, and strong latex. So they are safe in your mouth. Not every kid that receives braces will need orthodontic elastics. It’s because it relies on the existing jaw alignment. Sadly, these rubber bands cause pain and discomfort. However, it will fade off in 2 to 3 days.
Why Do Rubber Bands on Braces Hurt So Much?
If you have braces, the dentist in Pleasanton, CA, or an orthodontist recommends rubber bands at some point in your treatment. The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) explains that rubber bands or bracing parts might rub inside the cheeks. It results in sore spots within the mouth. Pain is one of the reasons why patients fail to wear the rubber band continuously as recommended.
How to Relieve the Pain?
The following tips will help you alleviate pain from rubber bands for braces:
Take Pain Killers
The orthodontist recommends pain relievers to get rid of the discomfort caused by rubber bands. Since these medicines can interfere with tooth movement, make sure you consult with the expert first.
Use Topical Anesthetic
To get rid of elastic pain temporarily, use a topical anesthetic on the painful gum regions.
Change them Regularly
Since the rubber bands lose their elasticity speedily, mainly after every meal, change them 3 to 4 times a day.
Wear Elastics Regularly
Even if your rubber bands hurt, you should continue wearing them. The orthodontist recommends wearing them about 22 hours a day. However, it excludes the time for flossing and brushing. Remember, taking a break to alleviate pain will hurt you continuously and not align your teeth as directed.
Avoid Using Additional Bands
Avoid trying to use additional bands. It’s because putting excess pressure damages teeth and their supporting periodontal bones and tissues.
Use Orthodontic Wax
Another method to get pain relief from rubber bands on braces is using orthodontic wax. For example, if you notice the elastic hooks or bands rub against your gums and cheeks, you can use an orthodontic wax there.
Only Use the Elastics for Braces That Your Orthodontist Recommends
Using rubber bands from a dental store may cause pain and damage your teeth too. Therefore, it’s worth using the elastics that your orthodontist provides.
Use a Warm Salt Water Rinse
If you develop canker sores from braces, use a warm salt water solution to wash your mouth.
Maintaining Oral Hygiene with Rubber Bands on Braces
After having rubber bands on braces in Pleasanton, CA, maintaining proper dental care is essential. It will prevent the elastics from losing their effectiveness and getting damaged.
Do’s and Don’ts of Wearing Rubber Bands
Consider the following do’s and don’ts when wearing them:
- Do bring additional bands along with you. It will help you in case it gets lost or breaks.
- Do stick to the directions as suggested by your orthodontist.
- If you are running loose or forget how to wear them, contact our office today.
- Avoid stretching the elastic because it will minimize their effectiveness.
- If you notice sore teeth, avoid taking the rubber bands off.
- Do not try to alter them in any way or develop rubber bands.
The Braces Treatment is Customizable to Your Mouth
The rubber bands on braces are essential in aligning your bite. If you continue to feel discomfort, contact Elite Dental and Orthodontics. The expert will make sure that the bands on braces fit properly and also give tips to minimize pain.
Remember, slight pain is a normal part of this orthodontic treatment. It’s because your teeth are shifting into the right position to help you achieve a gorgeous straight smile. Therefore, eliminate the elastics during flossing, brushing, or consuming meals.
Also, regular replacement of rubber bands is essential. You will need to wear braces for a few months before adding rubber bands to the treatment. The positions of elastics differ depending on your goal. For example, to fix an overbite, the orthodontist stretches the band around the hooks on the upper canine teeth and bottom first molar. However, when it comes to rubber bands or an underbite, it will run to the upper back teeth from the lower front teeth.

The assumption that risography is a printing process that has emerged in the recent past and has been used since then is wrong. This chapter goes back to the beginnings of stencil technology and introduces the reader to inventions in Europe, America and Japan about the current state of risograph printing among artists and authors.
If one wants to be precise and wants to go far and wide, then the process of stencil printing that is used in risography has its origins in cave art, the oldest testimony to the use of pigments and binders1: Various oxides, rocks and charcoal were used for painting on walls, people painted their images with brushes made of chewed or split branches, stamps and of course, fingers.2
Also in later Egypt, leather and papyrus were used as templates to use as a reproduction aid for decorating the interior walls of pyramids.3 Before Johannes Gutenberg (1400—1468) invented book printing using movable type, especially in Asia wood panels were used for the reproduction of prints4. Moving on advanced technology allowed to use Metal stencils that were from the 16th century, for example in etchings. In the so-called block printing with wood panels, a similar printing technique, images and texts were reproduced on a wooden plate, a process invented in China in the 6th century.5
Today, the term stencil, is mainly found as an expression in the genre of graffiti and street art. Stencils used today by artists are less commonly made of wood or metal, but mainly of cardboard, plastic or laminated paper.6

Like so many brands over London Design Festival, Italian brand Meridiani opened the doors of their re-styled London flagship store to reveal their latest collection of expertly crafted, timeless furniture creations intertwined with some of their classic pieces from the last two decades.
While the brand are renowned for their modern designs which ooze luxury and grace, as you step off Thurloe Place and into the Meridiani showroom, you’ll be surprised as you’re struck by an overwhelming sense of home.
Driven by a desire for visitors to feel at ease in the Meridiani showroom, designer and art director Andrea Parisio envisioned and curated a space that welcomes all and has been organised to spark inspiration. We spoke to Andrea to delve into his thought process behind this rejuvenated space.
1. When you start re-styling a showroom, what are the most important factors to consider?
I always exploit the architectural structure to shape it into a residential space. I like to create a space where visitors feel like they could actually live. Thus, all our showrooms worldwide are Meridiani styled but also consider the special flavour of that city or country. Natural lighting should also be considered to create the right atmosphere.
2. How do you choose which pieces to have on display?
I always like to have some ‘timeless pieces’ which truly represent the brand alongside the latest collections, such as the Norton Capitonné sofa – the protagonist of the London store window. I have been designing the collections since the beginning so I can easily match some older pieces with the new ones.
3. How often do you re-style the showroom?
Around two times a year so we can always exhibit the latest pieces. Visitors should always find something fresh and new there for inspiration. Moreover, every now and then we have a ‘refresh’ of the space, for example adding a new piece of furniture to show to visitors or just to add a touch of colour.
4. There are always intriguing artworks on display, how do you choose which artists to exhibit?
We choose different artists for our mono-brand worldwide. Although we have some closer collaborations, we work with different galleries as pieces of art are extremely important in every space. Not only do they decorate, but they also tell a story by themselves. Paintings and sculptures, as well as decorative artistic objects, are always present in our displays worldwide.
5. In what way does the South Kensington Meridiani showroom differ to other stores?
Positioned in the prestigious location of 10 Thurloe Place in South Kensington, opposite the Victoria and Albert Museum, the London flagship store in itself is a little jewel. Located across two floors, it conveys a sense of cosy elegance with curated details and sartorial flair all round.
Inaugurated last year, the project has become a reference point for architects, interior designers and fans of the brand. Conceived to embrace and fully represent the distinctive characteristics of the brand, including values such as creativity, modernity and continuous research, the Meridiani showroom in London represents a further step closer to our goal of being present in the most important cities in the world.
6. For a first time visitor to the Meridiani showroom, what experience do you hope they have?
They should feel both relaxed and inspired. They should find inspiration and support to make their own home look gorgeous and personal, suiting them like a tailor-made dress. This is Meridiani’s philosophy: a house should be like a dress you wear which fits you perfectly. There is no true luxe without this feeling of relaxation and personalisation. This is especially true in terms of available material choice, visitors to the store can pick from more than 500 varieties and shades of fabric and leather. This impressive quantity allows our customers to truly personalise their homes.

The Power of Optimization
So, you’ve got your ColdFusion application up and running. But it ain’t quite living up to your expectations. It’s slow, it’s laggy, it’s not scaling like you hoped. Sounds like you need some optimization. Good news, we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeve that can help you supercharge your ColdFusion application.
Query Optimization: Speeding Up Your Data
First up, query optimization. Slow queries can really bog down your application. To speed things up, you gotta optimize your SQL queries. Use indexes, limit the amount of data you’re pulling, and avoid SELECT *. Remember, the faster your queries run, the faster your application will be.
Caching: Your Secret Weapon
Next, let’s talk caching. Caching is like your secret weapon when it comes to optimization. By storing frequently accessed data in memory, you can cut down on database calls and speed up your application. ColdFusion has built-in caching features, so make sure to take advantage of them.
Code Optimization: Trim the Fat
Code optimization is another crucial part of the puzzle. The leaner your code, the faster it runs. So, trim the fat. Remove unnecessary loops, use CFScript for complex calculations, and avoid using CFML tags for everything. Keep your code lean and mean.
Server Tuning: Crank Up the Power
Your server settings can also have a big impact on performance. Things like JVM settings, connection pool size, and server memory can all affect how your application runs. Make sure to fine-tune these settings to get the most out of your server.
Load Balancing: Sharing the Load
If you’re dealing with high traffic, load balancing can be a lifesaver. By distributing requests across multiple servers, you can improve performance and scalability. ColdFusion supports load balancing out of the box, so it’s definitely worth considering.
CFThread: Parallel Processing Power
ColdFusion CFThread tag lets you do parallel processing, which can really boost performance. You can use it to run multiple tasks simultaneously, cutting down on processing time. But be careful, improper use of CFThread can cause more problems than it solves.
Regular Updates: Stay on Top of Your Game
Finally, make sure to keep your ColdFusion server and application up-to-date. Adobe regularly releases updates and patches that can improve performance and security. So stay on top of your game and keep everything updated.
Supercharge Your ColdFusion Application
Optimization ain’t an exact science. It’s more of an art. It takes time, patience, and a lot of trial and error. But with these techniques, you can supercharge your ColdFusion application, improving performance and scalability. So don’t settle for a sluggish application. Optimize, optimize, optimize.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~by H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Lee Helzer will lead "The Trail to the Trail which connects to the Trail" with an estimated duration of 2.5 hours.
Meet in the parking area next to the military base at the end of Basher Dr. for a 6:30 departure on a rare and seldom seen all-trail Epic. (we could find some bushwhacking if folks want) We’ll head west to the Power-line, take the Power-line across the road to the Lost Cabin Valley trail, and return via the Near Point trail.

When you reach the golden years and depart the world of work for good, it’s not an excuse to rest on your laurels. Maintaining an active lifestyle is one of the best things you can do for your health and happiness as a retiree.
No matter what age you are when you retire from your career, your goal is to maximize your enjoyment of each day. Let’s look at six reasons you should keep an active lifestyle after retirement.
Important for weight management
Of course, physical activity is important in keeping your body fit and healthy, largely by managing your weight. Staying at an optimum weight for your height and body type is especially important during retirement, when metabolism has lowered.
Your weight is connected to a host of factors that impact your quality—and length—of life. Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, and many cancers.
Exercise helps prevent injury
Clear any physical activity with your doctor, but overall, the more active you are, the more active you’ll continue to be. You can stick to low-impact aerobic activities like walking or swimming, and be sure to add strength training as well.
Strength training increases bone density, which helps with balance and preventing falls. Doing resistance training with weights helps minimize the bone and muscle loss that occurs with age.
Activity can reduce depression
Exercise provides important mental health benefits. When exercising, you give your mind a break from difficult situations. This lowers stress and anxiety, helping you to better navigate the challenges of life.
Exercise itself releases endorphins and other brain chemicals that help you feel good. Plus, if you’re active by going for a walk with a friend, you get the added benefit of social interaction, which is so important for mood and self-esteem at any age.
Physical activity can improve sleep
When you exercise on a regular basis, your sleep patterns typically improve. Aging often changes your sleep patterns. You might find it hard to stay up as late as you once did, or to sleep as late as you’d like (which is ironic after you’ve left the workforce).
Retirement is no time to neglect your body’s need for sleep. You still need a solid night’s sleep in order for your body to perform essential cell repairs that impact all other aspects of your health. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to an inability to fall asleep or sleep deeply, so be sure to get your physical activity, which tires you out and promotes better sleep.
An active lifestyle improves your brain function
As we approach the retirement phase of our lives, many of us worry about forms of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. While some reduction in mental function and capacity is bound to occur with age, research shows exercise to be one of the most effective ways to lower your risk of dementia.
Taking care of your brain is essential to maintaining your chosen lifestyle and independence long into your retirement. Keeping your mind sharp impacts everything—your ability to manage everyday tasks, financial planning, and enjoyment of most activities.
Keep busy and enjoy life
Being an active person isn’t only about physical exercise. It also refers to the overall way you spend your days in retirement. Find purpose and joy through an active lifestyle.
Your retirement years, as long as you’re fortunate enough to have your health, should be a time of fun and pursuing interests you never had time for before.
Perhaps during your career, you struggled to find time for leisure activities. Now that you’re retired, you deserve to enjoy yourself. Take a pottery class, play with your grandkids, or travel to a national park. Retirement is a time to explore possibilities.

[Editor's Note: In 2001, the US Congress overturned a nationwide ergonomics standard soon after it had been signed into law by the President. Dr. David Cochran, the author of this article, played a central role as an ergonomics expert and proponent within the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as the standard evolved. Political environments naturally lead to compromises, and Dr. Cochran and many of his colleagues felt the final version of the standard could have been better. The documents he shares with us below represent the standard as he wished it had been. Regardless of where you stand on the debate over workplace ergonomics standards, and no matter what country or region you live in, this proposed standard, though not mandatory, can serve as an excellent blueprint for a successful ergonomics approach to workplace MSD prevention and management. Thank you, Dr. Cochran, for sharing it with the ergonomics community through The Ergonomics Report™.]
This standard was rewritten by me over a period of several years – ending in 2003. In 1997 I was brought into the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as the Team Leader for the Ergonomics Program Standard. The standard presented here is very similar to the one written by that team and promulgated by OSHA in 2000. That standard was rescinded by the US Congress in 2001. The standard that was promulgated was written by a large and dedicated group of OSHA employees with input from all sectors of those who would have been impacted by it.
I have taken the document and modified it to suit my particular perspective. It includes the things that I thought were good and reasonable and excludes those I felt were not. I eliminated the parts pertaining to worker removal protection and strengthened the grandfather clause parts so that existing programs that are successful are likely to be considered acceptable. I have included more guidance and specificity on program evaluation – what would be considered an acceptable program. I learned while working at OSHA on the Ergonomics Program Standard that employers want any standard they are required to meet to be very flexible and they also want to always know when they are in, or out of, compliance – flexible and specific. Flexibility and specificity in a regulatory standard are pretty much contradictory – almost mutually exclusive. In this standard I have attempted to accomplish both as much as is possible.
This document owes a great deal to all those in OSHA/DOL who worked and agonized over the promulgated standard on which it is based. I, personally, owe a great deal of gratitude to those who decided to allow me to participate in this activity and to those who taught me about standard writing. To mention names would result in accidentally leaving someone out and it might actually damage their careers. They are dedicated, hard working people who believe in the concept of a safe and healthful place to work for all working people.
Doing good Ergonomics is a win all around. It results in better production methods, fewer injuries and illnesses, better morale, and higher quality products or services. As a result, it makes good economic sense. Injuries and illnesses due to poor ergonomic design are real and they cost real dollars – lots of them.
A few quotes:
Fear of the unknown is often misplaced. djc
No one ever went broke selling fear in/of Washington. djc
The only kinds of fights worth fighting are those your are going to lose, because somebody has to fight them and lose and lose and lose until someday, somebody who believes as you do wins. In order for somebody to win an important, major fight 100 years hence, a lot of other people have got to be willing — for the sheer fun and joy of it — to go right ahead and fight, knowing you're going to lose. You mustn't feel like a martyr. You've got to enjoy it. — I.F. Stone.

Always running out of ideas for something to eat on a Saturday evening and so tired of take away food, I decided to make Scotch Eggs. I used Pork sausages because it’s staple in my home. Naturally you can use any sausage of your choice. If I had contemplated the dish beforehand I would have opted for a Spicy dhania mutton sausage, which would of also left me with less work, in the spicing section. I also made spicy Asian Chops and potato salad, and a bit of pickled cucumber. Family loved the change of scenery.
6 pork sausages, removed from casings
1 tsp dried sage, parsley and thyme
Salt and pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp 5 spice powder
1 tblsp soya sauce
4 hard boiled eggs
2 beaten eggs
2 cups fresh bread crumbs (Panko and bread processed in processor with some egg yellow)
Mix the pork sausages with all the seasoning.
Flatten a good hand full of ground meat on your hand and place egg on top of.
Using both hands, mold ground meat around the egg to firmly encase the egg.
Dip into beaten egg and coat thoroughly in bread crumbs.
Refrigerate for about 10-15 Minutes.
Air fry at 250 degrees for 6-8 minutes or shallow fry till golden and crisp.
Can also be baked
Spicy Asian Chops
6 -8 lamb chops
1 tblsp hoisin sauce
1 tblsp black bean paste
1 tsp black strap molasses
1 heaped tsp brown sugar
1 tsp Char Siu sauce
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp sesame oil
4 tblsp water
Splash of shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry (optional)
Marinate the chops in the above for about an hour or two.
Heat your oil to fairly hot and fry for about 2 minutes a side.
The chops should be crisp outside and slightly pink (but not bloody) on the inside.
4-5 Good clean potatoes, peeled, cubed and washed
1 tblsp Ina Parman’s chicken stock (veg can be used)
Salt and pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tblsp crème fraische
2 tblsp cream
2 tblsp sour sour cream
Chopped spring onion and dill
Bring a pot of water with cubed potatoes, add stock and boil till tender but firm. Drain.
In a bowl whisk remainder of ingredient except spring onion and dill.
Pour over potatoes and gently combine.
Garnish with spring onion and dill and added black pepper

Towards a research integrity culture at universities: from recommendations to implementation
Organización : League of European Research Universities, LERU
Editor : Leuven, LERU, 2020
Serie : Advice paper
This advice paper identifies ways in which universities can develop a research integrity culture within their institutions. At a time when public trust in information is increasingly challenged by misinformation, the need for sound and trustworthy research has never been so important. Universities have a key role in supporting research integrity as this maintains and strengthens confidence in their researchers’ work. This paper shows how this could be achieved. The paper first examines how universities can tackle the issues of "sloppy science" or ‘questionable research practices’ by improving research design, conduct and reporting, then identifies how researchers could be educated about research integrity. It then gives ideas on the internal structures that could be put in place to deal with research integrity and incidents of research misconduct. It highlights the benefits of transparency and accountability at universities, and what universities can do to instil a culture of research integrity within their institutions. The paper includes a section giving examples of how LERU universities are developing research integrity policies which may act as inspiration for other universities wishing to develop or further strengthen their own research integrity practices. A summary of recommendations is included, this can be used by readers to identify elements of the paper which they may be particularly interested in, or act as a quick check list by which an individual university’s research integrity strategy can be assessed. The paper’s key message is that research integrity is a vital issue for universities and that there are a number of ways in which this could be realised. The options employed by universities will differ based on their individual circumstances.

This ultimate LEGO Super Mario Bowser’s Airship set comes with a lot of impressive features that will wow everyone in the room. This amazing airship unfolds from compact to opened up form in just one move. The masts are removable to facilitate gameplay by joining them together with the extra LEGO bricks provided in the set.
You can play the set on its own (imaginative playing) or via the free app physically in the virtual world. You are required to download the LEGO Super Mario app along with either starter course Mario 71360 or Luigi 71387 to play with this set. Unfortunately, I do not have the starter course to play along with. Nevertheless, let’s check out this amazing LEGO Super Mario Bowser’s Airship Expansion Set which is available to buy from zavvi.com.
There are over 1,000 LEGO pieces in this set and it will take you just a few hours to build. It looks very complicated but it is easy to follow and build. I like that LEGO is saving the trees by not printing the instructions on paper booklets; instead, all the instructions are found in the app with videos on how to play with the sets. I find it so much easier to view via the app than the paper booklets, especially as I can rotate the build on the app and see it from different angles. The app isn’t completely problem-free though – I regularly run into problems with the app just shutting down. It’s annoying to have to restart mid-flow, click through the icons and enter the set number again though it does remember the step that you stopped at. Phew! Of course, instead of using the app, you can download the PDF file from LEGO.com to view it.
There are a total of 13 steps/individual packets to build this airship. The three figures: Kamek, Rocky Wrench and Goomba Gumba are divided across each of the packets and there is also a Cannon Start Pipe.
First, let’s take a look at Kamek. He comes with his ‘flying’ broomstick and staff. His goggles are printed on black round tiles. His barcode can be found at the bottom of an inverse white tile.
Next, we have Rocky Wrench who wears goggles (printed face) and has a wrench under his right arm. His code is located behind his back.
The last figure is this tiny Goomba Gumba whose hat comes off to reveal his code on top of his head.
The ship measures around 36 cm long, 18 cm wide and 35 cm high in compact form. When it is opened up, the ship is around 54 cm long. There are two impressive Bowsers’ heads located on the front and back of the ship. The Bowser’s head at the back can be tilted open to reveal a code to scan.
There are three yellow cannons on either side, with green hatch covers above them and numerous blue lanterns hang around the sides of the ship. There are two small propellers located at the rear end of the ship.
Once the ship is opened, you can remove the two masts to play or just leave it as it is. Both masts’ propellers are rotatable and they also have small crow’s nests at the top. The biggest mast features Bowser’s hand. It is loosely attached to a lift ark, connected to a target. Use the figurine to hit the hand off or turn the mast to fly off the hand. As I don’t have the Mario nor Luigi figurines, I am unable to explain how the point system works via playing with the app.
Behind the biggest mast, there is a ‘POW brick’ and behind it, is the sitting area for Mario/Luigi and once the character is in it, it will pop up a steering wheel.
One thing I hate is sticking stickers, especially for any LEGO sets, and I am glad that there is none to stick in this set. All the prints or codes are already stuck or printed on.
The finished airship looks stunning and great for playing with or without the app game. We are very impressed and love that it can transform. Every detail on the ship is very well thought out and the contrasts of colours bricks are beautiful. Yet again, Lego has nailed it to create this stunning set with fantastic details that will provide many hours of fun to play and also to display. I would definitely recommend it and of course along with the starter set to complete the set for playing.
Disclosure: We received the sample for the purposes of writing this review, however, all thoughts and opinions remain our own.

As soon as you start working at Modibodi you are giving a few pairs of underwear to take home (especially if you're not already a user - gasp!). As it's important to make sure the whole team has a first hand experience and understands how the technology works. This is Nic's recount of when she first started at Modibodi, and how she is relieved to depend solely on them during this time of isolation.
On day two of self-imposed (but very much government sanctioned) lockdown, I got my period.
Before I started work at Modibodi, I had looked into alternatives to tampons, as I had read a lot about newer, more sustainable options. But I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure if it was for me. As someone who had eschewed pads from a very young age, the thought of giving up tampons made me feel really uncertain.
When I first started in the office, I received a few pairs and knew I had to put my money where my mouth was. I’m a big believer in working for brands that I truly believe in, and this was going to be the ultimate test.
A lot of my friends, plus my sisters, business contacts and even casual acquaintances, have asked me about the period underwear as a lot of them are skeptical for the same reasons I was. It’s ingrained in a lot of us from a young age, and probably in particular my generation, that disposables are the answer as periods are often framed as being messy and a bit secretive. Remember high school? All the girls would furiously deny having their period whilst also frantically checking the back of their skirt for those pesky few days of the month.
I’ve surprised myself by not looking back.
Modibodi has been absolutely dependable, whether I’m out and about, sleeping soundly or at work. I’ve even brazenly worn white pants while trusting my period underwear to do their job.
Now that I’m avoiding unnecessary trips out of the house, the sense of relief I felt today was enormous. I didn’t have to search through endless handbags for a tampon. I wasn’t opening and closing my bathroom cabinet hoping one magically appeared.
And the best part? Your colleagues, sisters and housemates may pinch your last tampon or pad unexpectedly, but no one is going to borrow your underwear!

ID is the theory that things are intelligently designed. Like the computer your using or the car you drive didnt evolve on their own, but were specifically designed by an intelligence. That kind of theory is applied to life and the universe.
I have never seen this question answered - perhaps you will be able to answer it for me.
I have found an object in my garden - I do not recognise it. How do I tell if it is designed?
i.e. If I wanted to know if it was poisonous, I could give a small amount to a rodent and see if it suffers any ill effects. What would I need to look at (or measure or whatever) to decide if it is designed or not?
William Dembski proposes three possibilities: law, chance or design.
I am having trouble understanding some of what he is saying, so perhaps you could expand his definitions?
1. Natural Law explains regularity: For the filter to eliminate regularity, one must establish that a multiplicity of possibilities is compatible with the given antecedent circumstance (recall that regularity admits only one possible consequence for a given antecedent circumstance); hence to eliminate regularity is to establish a multiplicity of possible consequences.
How do I "establish that a multiplicity of possibilities is compatible with the given antecedent circumstance"?
2. Chance explains real randomness: For law to explain an outcome there must only be a limited number of possible outcomes all predictable from the circumstances. These are events of high probability. If there are many possible different outcomes, then law cannot explain it.
How do I tell if there is "only a limited number of possible outcomes all predictable from the circumstances"?

Graduation of Tony Bromell in 1954
Tony Bromell taught as a secondary teacher until 1968. He was elected president of the ASTI in two consecutive years 1966-8 and served for many years on the Limerick city Vocational Education Committee. As chairman of that committee he signed the building contract for the Limerick Technical College (now LIT) in 1973. Recognising the necessity to make the opportunity of a university education more widely and equitably available, Tony was a founder member of the Limerick University Project Committee established in 1958. This project culminated in the foundation of NIHE Limerick in 1973 and ultimately in the establishment of the University of Limerick in 1989. In 1968 he was appointed to Mary Immaculate College Limerick as a lecturer in Irish and became registrar in 1970. Appointed to the Higher Education Authority in 1968 Tony remained a valued member of the HEA until 1982 and served as vice chairman from 1977 to 1982. Nominated to the Senate of the National University of Ireland in 1982, Tony served for two five year terms.

A modified FDM/TDM method was first used by Sato to study the achievable rate region of degraded Gaussian interference channel. Recently Sason used this method to get an achievable rate region of Gaussian interference channel. In this paper, we generalize this method in terms of the transmission mode and frequency band allocation, and obtain an achievable rate region for Gaussian interference channel, which improves the existing computable rate regions for both the weak and moderate interferences. We note that this modified FDM/TDM is different to time sharing and the difference depends on the activeness and concavity of the constraints. The achievable sum rate of symmetric Gaussian interference channel is derived for a subregion of the classical Han-Kobayashi region, and subsequently, for the proposed new achievable rate region.

On July 3rd, 2011 at 6pm, our church will present “A Tribute to America’s Heroes.” This special program will honor some specific individuals from our church and community who are truly heroic. To get us thinking about the heroes in our lives several of our blog authors are writing about their heroes.
I have the unique blessing of being married to my hero. Nicki Simpson is my hero. Her examples of sacrifice and perseverance are truly heroic.
Nicki’s heroism is most clearly seen in what she has endured for our children. God has blessed us with four children. Abigail is four years old. Esther is two. We have a son who was born at 15 weeks and is now in heaven. And, we have another child who is currently growing in Nicki’s womb.
Abi, Nicki, & Esi (Christmas 2009) |
In each of her pregnancies, Nicki has suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), which is “generally described as unrelenting, excessive pregnancy-related nausea and/or vomiting that prevents adequate intake of food and fluids.” (from HER Foundation)
- an abruption which resulted in Abi’s premature birth and 12 days in the NICU
- frequent hospitalizations for dehydration
- the insertion of a PICC line and TPN treatment
- one prescription after another – none of which did any good
What amazes me is to know that she would endure all of this again for our children.
In spite of all the difficulties and experiences we have been through, Nicki’s God-given desire to be a mother has not waned. God has given her a burning desire to be a mother. He has also abundantly equipped with the gift of motherhood. She is an excellent mother to our children.
As I’ve already mentioned, in God’s sovereignty we find ourselves pregnant. And once again, we are traveling through some unique and challenging experiences. Every day I watch Nicki struggle, I am reminded of the heroic acts she is undergoing in order to bring life to our children.
Nicki is an example to all those who treat motherhood flippantly. She is an example of one who is willing to make severe sacrifices for another. Many in our society place little or no value on the unborn child. The life of Nicki Simpson shouts loudly that the unborn child is to be treasured and preserved at all costs.
So, my wife, Nicki Simpson, is my hero. I pray that my daughters will grow up to be just like her (minus the sickness).

FAQ About Cold Cases and Breakthroughs
Cold Cases and Breakthroughs
one year ago | gizem
Public awareness can have a significant impact on the investigation of cold cases in several ways:
- Generating new leads: Increased public awareness through media coverage, social media campaigns, or dedicated websites can reach a broader audience and prompt individuals with crucial information to come forward. Publicizing details of the case, descriptions of suspects, or key evidence can jog memories, stimulate conversations, and generate new leads that may have otherwise remained undiscovered.
- Encouraging witness cooperation: Public awareness campaigns can encourage witnesses who were hesitant to come forward during the initial investigation to finally share their information. Over time, individuals may feel more comfortable or compelled to share what they know, especially if they see renewed efforts to solve the case or if they believe their information can make a difference.
- Mobilizing communities: Public awareness can rally communities around a cold case, creating a sense of collective responsibility and encouraging individuals to engage in conversations, share information, or participate in community events aimed at generating leads or supporting the investigation.
- Putting pressure on suspects: When a cold case receives renewed attention and public scrutiny, it may create pressure on potential suspects or persons of interest. The increased visibility can disrupt their sense of security, leading them to make mistakes or prompting someone close to them to come forward with information that could assist the investigation.
- Crowdsourcing investigations: Public awareness can leverage the power of crowdsourcing by inviting the public to actively participate in the investigation. This can involve the sharing of information, analysis of clues or evidence, or even offering rewards for relevant information, all of which can enhance the investigative process and potentially generate new leads.
- Keeping the case in the public eye: Cold cases can easily fade from public memory over time. However, sustained public awareness efforts, periodic updates, or milestones related to the case can keep it in the public eye. This not only increases the chances of generating new leads but also provides ongoing support to the families of victims who are seeking justice.

Pakistan is a neighbor of China, Afghanistan and India and shares a common border. It has a population of more than 200 million and it is not surprising that such a large and populous country has geographical and linguistic diversity. It also manifests itself in a variety of Pakistani cuisines, and while there is a common interest among all Pakistanis in their desire for fragrant and glaze-rich foods, Pakistanis love food. In this section, we are going to introduce you to a variety of Pakistani foods.
This easy-to-use fry dish is usually served as a Finger Food or Meal. Vegetables are pre-fried in flour, chopped and seasoned, then fried for a few minutes.
This meal is served as a snack. Shrimp are small slices made with a mixture of minced meat, chopped peas, chopped onions, mint, red pepper and eggs.
Gappa flowers are known as one of the popular street foods offered by wheelchair sellers. While fast food has grown today and to some extent has satisfied the tastes of those interested in fast food, Gappa’s flower has retained its popularity.
This dish is made in a round shell made of semolina. In this product, after baking and cooling, a hole is made and then filled with a mixture of special seasoning (Indian spice), bell peppers, potatoes, onions and peas. Next to it is a bowl of spicy burrito.
It is believed that grit was prevalent in the royal kitchens of the Mongol Empire in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. This rice dish is often served in special cases. Grilled meat can also be made with lamb or beef, but chicken is much more popular. Meat and rice are first cooked separately with special spices. Then mix and cook.

While China represents a worthy adversary, the United States retains strategic advantages when it comes to the global competition for superior artificial intelligence, Eric Schmidt, chairman of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, said Monday.
On the metric of research, for example, the “best and most original papers” on artificial intelligence are still coming out of the West, he said.
That said, the answer to the binary question of whether China or the U.S. is currently “winning” depends a bit on what metrics one pays attention to. It is “fairly apparent,” Schmidt said, that China is ahead in two areas — facial recognition surveillance and financial technology. But, he went on, “this does not mean that they’re ahead … overall.”
“There are two aspects of AI,” Schmidt said. “One is the actual invention of it, and there is no question in my mind, and I suspect the final report will say this, that that continues to be in the West and in particular the United States. But then there’s sort of the scale adoption question, and there there are credible scenarios where certain technologies in AI will be adopted faster in China than elsewhere for various reasons.”
The report does caution against taking America’s relative AI leadership for granted. For example, China has drastically increased its research and development funding within the past years, while funding at home — at least by the U.S. government — has increased only marginally. President Trump’s 2020 budget proposal, for example, called for for about $850 million in AI research and development funding to support the American AI Initiative. This 2% increase over fiscal 2019 levels is too little, the NSCAI report argues.
The U.S. also has to compete harder for STEM talent now that China is encouraging its nationals to bring their skillsets back, the report says.
“We don’t answer the question how far behind China is in the report,” Schmidt said.
“We tried not to have a scorecard, that’s not the intent,” Vice Chairman Robert Work added. “The intent is to say this is a competition that is very, very important for America, both for its economic future and its national security future. And we’re intent on trying to lay out the things that will allow America to win the competition, regardless of who the competitor is.”
NSCAI, which is independent but sits in the executive branch, was created under the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2019. It is comprised of 15 members from industry, government and academia, plus staff.
Since convening in March the commission has been working on an “assessment phase,” the end product of which is this interim report. The report is a broad overview of what AI is, what it could mean for national security, the state of the technology in government and more. It also identifies five “lines of effort” for the government — areas that, the commission believes “need more attention or may be ripe for action.”
- Invest in AI research and development
- Apply AI to national security missions
- Train and recruit AI talent
- Protect and build upon U.S. technology advantages
- Marshall global AI cooperation
The commission’s final report, which Work expects will be released “about a year from now,” will make specific recommendations and implementation suggestions on these topics.

I have seen another solution where you can put an NFC tag on the monitor. Then when you tap the tag it sends to to a website, but the website changes based on the content.
Basically think of this, the NFC tag is a short url, but the short url changes what it points to based on whats on the screen. Basically each piece of media would have a url field. Great anytime you want to send content to a customers phone.
So like tap here to get a coupon for whats on the screen.
They were even showing it to send directions to a phone, could probably be used to send a tel: link as well to dial a phone number.

welcome to appelsap xm version.
this is the version of appelsap intended for people who would like
to see the insides of the songs, if you just want to hear the music
i recommend getting the MP3 version (it sounds better for sure, because
xm-players are crap, except mikit).
the real release is at http://www.fm.org/appelsap/, offering MP3,
Real Audio and Quicktime 3 versions of the album.
appelsap is released with fm & mono.
please respect the originality of the samples. if you rip samples
from this, people who have heard appelsap will recognize them.
even if the way you use them is better than the way they were used
in appelsap, they will alter the way the sounds sound, having been
used in a different context. as a result, appelsap will sound different.
anyway, smoke a bowl and enjoy.

if you checked more than one “yes,” face it: you need help ASAP. First, decide whether any of your current advisers can help you sort things out. Your accountant may be able to figure out ways to boost your cash flow. Your attorney can draft stern collection letters which might help you get paid faster. A freelance marketing consultant can help create a low-cost, short-term promotion aimed at bringing in new sales.
If you feel your business is in serious jeopardy, you might consider hiring a professional turnaround consultant. These highly skilled and experienced experts step into your shoes and take charge. They work quickly to negotiate deals with creditors and vendors to keep them at bay. They often deal with your banker, your suppliers, and your landlord, convincing them to give you more time to sort things out.
Bringing in an outsider to rescue your company is a dramatic measure, but it tells the world that you care enough about your business to step aside—at least temporarily. Turn- around consultants do not work cheaply. A good one may cost thousands of dollars that you probably don’t have, but it’s worth borrowing the money from friends or relatives if it’s necessary to save your business. One turnaround consultant I know actually found $60,000 worth of uncashed checks in the drawer of a panicked controller.
Here’s the rub: If you do hire a turnaround consultant, you must step out of the management picture, relinquishing the day-to-day responsibility of running the business. You can’t disappear, though. You have to be available to answer questions and provide information.
For less severe problems, schedule some affordable counseling at a Small Business Development Center. There are nearly 1,000 centers around the country, jointly funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration and private organizations, usually colleges or universities. You can find the closest SBDC by calling the SBA office listed under federal government in the white pages.
Ignoring your problems is a sure way to kill your business. No one likes to admit they’re stressing, but sending up a flare is the only way to be rescued before it’s too late.

The best way to learn the correct way to retrieve, rig, and conditions lures work best is to talk with the companies themselves. And the easiest way to speak with multiple company representatives in the same day is at sportsmen shows. Vendors at sportsmen shows share more information that people realize and are happy to spend time with you. That is why they spent money on the booth. This weekend the Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show is taking place in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, the Allegheny Sport Travel & Outdoor Show is at the Monroeville Expo Mart, and the Butler Fishing Show is being held at the Butler Senior High School.

Late last year Pantone announced its Colour of the Year for 2022, now that we’re finally here and taking the new year by storm, many of us might be thinking of ways to incorporate the creative world’s most popular tone for the next 10 months.
For 2022 the colour of the year is Very Peri (17-3938) and the renowned Colour Institute have expressed that the tone ‘displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression’
Vice President Laurie Pressman stated “The Pantone Colour of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that colour can hope to answer.”
With such a heart-warming thought behind this year’s colour, especially after the last two years we’ve all had – we’ve listed some top tips to incorporate the tone into your everyday life.
Towards the end of 2021 we saw a huge spike in the trend of simple nail art designs, using chunky graphics and bold colours.
As we head into the spring and summer months Very Peri is the colour that can weather every season. If you’re still not ready to give up your nude winter polishes just yet, why not combine the two to create a complimentary palette?
Pastel hair has been a long standing viral hair trend for many influencers and personalities online. Social feeds were packed with images of sultry silver tones, or slightly cooler lilac and lavender shades.
This year we say step things up a notch with something Very Peri inspired. There’s already been a huge influx of inspiration since Pantone’s announcement and we can’t wait to see where everyone’s creativity will take them.
We love the idea of a Very Peri/Lavender Balayage or undertones of the colour throughout a fluffy pixie cut.
Accessories are the window to exploring colour. If you’re not too daring with your wardrobe choices but are keen to get more out of your neutral comfort zone that we call black, white and grey clothing - this could be your answer.
Why not incorporate the colour into a statement pair of earrings, or add some extra pizzazz with a Very Peri toned handbag to make your outfit pop?
If bold tones are your thing, many of the F/W runway shows such as, Moschino, Saint Laurent and Undercover have all featured similar shades.
For some people interior is where they become really daring with tones, prints and textures. If this sounds like you, then that’s always a good reason shake things up with the interiors of your home.
Start small, find foliage with similar tones and create your own dried flower arrangement. Dried flowers are another trending item that can add just that little bit of luxe to your home and on a budget. Not to mention they’re cheaper than fresh flowers and last much longer too!
Cushions can also add a nice touch to the home, or if you’re willing to upholster a piece of your furniture, we imagine this colour as the ideal headboard or chaise longue fabric.
Another popular craze coming into 2022 with us is graphic eyeliner. Ever so chic and a great way to experiment with makeup – Very Peri inspired tones on the eyes, cheeks and lips in the summer is sure to be something we’ll see in the coming months.
Graphic eyeliner can easily be adapted to your eye shape, or you can get creative and play around. The main point is to have fun and create looks that you love.

Why this practical, healthy and inexpensive vegetable should be a fixture in your fridge.
As naturopathic doctors know well, achieving and maintaining good health has so much to do with our lifestyle and all of the little practices and habits that we adopt. Today, I’d like to talk about the benefits of eating cabbage regularly.
Eating half a plate of veggies with every meal is an important part of a healthy diet, but I’ve been hearing that some are struggling with this, especially now. I’m hearing that many are limiting trips to the grocery store and finding their fridge lacks fresh produce by the end of the week.
Cabbage to the rescue!
This vegetable (along with many others in its family – the Brassica family) lasts longer in the fridge than more delicate veggies. For me, it’s often a go-to at the end of the week when my supplies are low. I eat the veggies that will perish more quickly earlier in the week and save the cabbage for when I’m getting low.
Not only is it long-lasting but it’s also inexpensive, grows locally, and can stretch a long way – one cabbage can contribute to several meals.
And cabbage is extremely versatile!
My kids love it sauteed Asian style with garlic and ginger, and they also enjoy eating it raw as a snack. It can be used in coleslaw, to bulk up a green salad, roasted, or used to make sauerkraut. You can even put it in smoothies (this needs a high powered blender to get it smooth). There are many many other ways to use it – just Google “cabbage recipe” and you will find tons!
Health benefits of cabbage:
Nutrient-dense – this fibrous, low-calorie food is nutrient-dense, packed with antioxidants, and contains important nutrients such as Vitamin C, potassium, folate, Vitamin B6, biotin, calcium, magnesium and manganese.
Anti Ulcer – In the 1950s, cabbage juice was demonstrated to aid in the healing of peptic ulcers. The antiulcer component was originally referred to as “Vitamin U” and later identified as the amino acid glutamine. Glutamine is known to be a supportive nutrient for the growth and regeneration of the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract.
Hormone balancing/ Anticancer – Vegetables in the Brassica family including cabbage contain a chemical called Indole-3-carbionol or I3C for short. I3C is released from these foods by chewing and is then mostly converted to a chemical called diindolylmethane (DIM for short). These chemicals can support liver function and help the body to properly process estrogen in a healthy way. Due to this and other supportive chemicals, it is thought that vegetables in the Brassica family may help to prevent cancer, in particular breast cancer.
Aiding estrogen metabolism might also be helpful to a host of hormonal conditions such as acne, PMS, menstrual disorders, and perimenopausal concerns. When treating these conditions clinically, I sometimes turn to supplemental forms of these chemicals for a stronger effect. At the same time, I am a huge advocate for using food as medicine so a first step might be to try to increase these foods in the diet. DIM is also thought to change how much we are affected by androgens or “male” hormones. This may be another reason why it can be helpful for acne.
Breast engorgement/swelling – Cabbage has long been used as a home remedy for nursing mothers for relief from swelling and breast engorgement. Removing the large vein first, chilled cabbage leaves are worn inside the bra to bring relief from this condition.
A note of caution. Chemicals in the cabbage family of foods appear to reduce thyroid function to some degree. People with thyroid concerns may want to speak to their healthcare provider and be cautious with the over-consumption of plants in the cabbage family (especially if eaten raw). Information here is for informational purposes and not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Vista Announces 2022 Performance With Revenue Up 50% YOY and Exponential U.S. Growth
Jan 30, 2023
Vista announces 2022 performance with revenue up 50% YOY and exponential U.S. growth
Vista Global Holding (Vista), the world’s leading global private aviation group, provides a market update on its 2022 performance across the region, reflecting tremendous growth following landmark acquisitions and unprecedented demand from existing and new Members.
The Group continues to see strong growth across its subscription solutions and services, with revenue up over 50% against the same period in 2021. The U.S. remains the Group’s strongest and fastest-growing market — reporting a 195% increase in VistaJet Program membership gross hours sold in 2022 for the region — giving great visibility on forward demand owing to three-year client signings.
In 2022, Vista streamlined its global subscription offerings across both the VistaJet and XO brands, introducing the VistaJet VJ25 membership and XO Membership. The evolving portfolio of membership options ensures every private aviation client can find a simple, flexible, and secure solution for their flying needs.
It was yet another year of record-breaking flying for the Group. Despite a series of macroeconomic events, the U.S. led the total growth in flight numbers reporting a 41% increase YOY and New York being the number one location for Vista flights across the globe.
The investment and expansion of the Vista Members’ fleet has been critical in meeting demand. Vista added 117 net aircraft in 2022, with 85 being added through the acquisition of Air Hamburg and Jet Edge. The additional aircraft comprised of scheduled deliveries which included 11 ultra-premium Global 7500 jets, now at 18. To best service clients over the next decade, the Group continues its investment in an extensive refurbishment program across the fleet including the adoption of KU or KA band Wi-Fi on board all aircraft.
VistaJet and XO Members are now benefitting from access to the Vista Members’ fleet of over 300 aircraft, half of which are based throughout the region. Clients also have access to an additional 2,100 alliance aircraft, which are instantly bookable through XO’s advanced digital app.
Thomas Flohr, Vista’s Founder and Chairman said: “I am incredibly excited for the future. We have experienced immense growth throughout this key market as more and more clients are turning to Vista as the go-to solution for asset-free offerings and recognize that Vista provides the best value and end-to-end experience. Our expanded team of over 4,000 experts are fully committed to developing the next era of innovative and advanced flying solutions across the globe. This will only strengthen Vista’s unrivaled customer offering and our position as the world’s largest on demand provider.”
As a business, Vista has renewed its commitment to cleaner aviation and is championing the industry to progressively address the sustainability challenges issues it is facing. VistaJet has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2025 and earlier this year published its “Action Handbook for Change in Business Aviation.”

Every Reason Why Air Sealing Your Home Is Beneficial
If you were to air-seal your home, do you think you would notice a difference? Many people would suspect “no” until they see it for themselves. After that, the feeling is unmistakable, but in the best way possible. Discover the benefits of air sealing your home before reaching out to Foam Bear Orlando for top-tier spray foam insulation that doubles as an effective home sealer!
What Does “Air Sealing” Your Home Do?
The process of air sealing your home involves searching for every gap and crack in the home that is exposed to the outdoors and sealing them off for an air-tight environment. This sometimes starts with an audit to calculate an estimate of how much air you’re losing to these air leaks (AKA excess airflow). We’re not talking about just the attic. Air sealing is done throughout the entire house to achieve the ultimate goal of a completely controlled space.
It is not possible to have “too much” air sealing in the home. The pressure may feel different, but that doesn’t mean it’s unsafe. |
Cut Down Your Energy Usage (And Save Money)
By eliminating excess airflow, you can control your home’s environment in a way that cuts down on heating and cooling costs. You’ll experience cozier living, for sure, but you’ll also be saving money on reduced energy usage. Some homeowners have reported saving as much as 15% on average due to spending less energy after air-sealing the house!
Lock Out Moisture – It’s More Important That You Think
Sealing up the home is an effective way to limit the moisture inside since it travels through the air. This does a lot more than prevent mold and mildew, although these are a couple of the biggest threats. Many people don’t realize that moisture can contribute to many more issues in the home like rotting wood leading to compromised structural integrity.
Breathe Cleaner Air, Reducing Tissue Waste
Plenty of the illnesses that we contract are transferred through the air. If you don’t seem to be getting any better after calling in sick and staying home, it could be due to the triggering components floating around your safe space. Air sealing the area can help preserve your lungs, sinuses, and overall health.
Maintain Your Home’s True Value
No one wants to live in a house that gets too cold during the winter, too hot during the summer, and too dusty soon after cleaning. Buyers who are susceptible to intense allergy symptoms may also pass up your home for fear of living in an allergen-infested building. That’s why air sealing is something that could potentially look great on a property listing.
Close The Door On Gross And Filthy Pests
Air sealing can easily keep pests outside where they belong. It doesn’t matter if they’re bugs or rodents, it’ll be nearly impossible for them to penetrate the substance used to seal up the property.
Read more > Can Spray Foam Help Keep Out Pests?
Help Insulation Operate At Its Best
There’s plenty of debate over whether it’s better to insulate or air seal the home, or if the two need to be done simultaneously to get the full effect of your insulation. You can easily bypass this conundrum by using spray foam insulation which has a high R-value as an insulator while being able to expand to seal off gaps. It’s like a two-for-one material with no drawbacks!
Is Air Sealing The House Hard? Not With Professional Help!
It can feel nearly impossible to find and seal all of the gaps in your home, so let Foam Bear Orlando do it for you! Call (727) 580-1090 today so we can air-seal your home with top-notch spray foam insulation. Ask for a free estimate on your next service!

Hesai Group, a China-based LiDAR sensor manufacturer for autonomous driving, plans to halve the price of its key product, LiDAR, next year, reported Reuters.
Find out more
Hesai Group CEO David Li was quoted by the publication as saying: “We are moving to a stage where millions of cars sold annually are equipped with LiDAR.”
Li said that reducing the price will make LiDAR technology attractive even for lower-cost EVs priced below 150,000 yuan ($20,000).
For EVs priced above this, the LiDAR technology adoption rate is expected to rise to 40%, compared to the current rate of about 24% for Chinese EVs and plug-in hybrids, as per auto parts trading platform Gasgoo.com.

High speed on secondary stats breaks the arena.
The arena would be vastly improved if secondary stats for speed were capped at no more than 10. Currently anybody who has poorly developed meta game characters with high speeds dominate. I just lost to a guy who had three five star toons with all their speed and I assume gear jacked up. I don't mind the gear so much, but the arena is all about getting the highest speed mods on your characters and that limits everyone's customization options and makes the arena boring (and frustrating).

messing with the elemental demo.
how exactly is this effect acheived.
Is there a specific static shadowing setting you toggle off/on and what particle is actually being used in that image?
is it the haze_shot_10 particle?
EDIT: never found it. cast translucent shadows. i thought its only for stationary lights?
It’s automatic, every stationary light generates a static shadow depth map from Lightmass when you build lighting and the light gets shadowed by it when applying to translucency. Note that it is pretty low resolution.
I don’t remember what the particles were in that screenshot, it was the one that’s in the ElementalDemo, I didn’t modify it except to move them around a bit.

Thank you very much Jamie. I think you are right about hammered dulcimer though I also do not play them. The extra string length on mandolins, arch top guitars, violins, ect is a useful point of reference for me to explain something that I don't actually understand lol
That is SO interesting,Nate.I think hammered dulcimers(which I don't play)work on that principle,but by dividing string lengths somewhere in the middle.I play mandolin and never thought anything about that felt on the cover after the strings crossed the bridge.I really enjoy your experiments with sound,design.

- The Federal High Court judgment stopping the CBN from releasing the Rivers state allocation has continued to be criticised
- Bisi Afolabi, a legal practitioner who spoke with TheTalk.NG, said the judgment is an avenue to count scores in the political infighting in Rivers
- The legal practitioner then expressed optimism that the appeal of the judgment by the Rivers state government would result in fair judgment considering the political crisis in the state
A legal practitioner, Bisi Afolabi, condemned the Federal High Court ruling on October 30, 2024, directing the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to withhold further monthly allocations to Rivers State, but the lawyer maintained that the court judgment had been deployed to count scores in the political infighting in Rivers politics.
The court’s decision was based on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s unconstitutional presentation of the 2024 budget to a four-member House of Assembly. This has raised questions about the legitimacy of the State House of Assembly’s composition and its authority to approve budgets.
Lawyer has kicked against High Court judgment stopping Rivers allocation
Photo Credit: @SimFubaraKSCSource: Twitter
According to Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, who delivered the judgment, the allocations received and spent by the state since January 2024 were based on an illegitimate budget, which she described as a “constitutional aberration.”
Rivers appeals judgment stopping its allocation
The Rivers State government has appealed the decision, prompting the federal government to insist that the allocation be paid until the end of the legal tussle. In an exclusive interview with TheTalk.NG, Afolabi said he was glad with the appeal and expressed optimism that the political manoeuvring would be stamped out of the judiciary.
“It is unfortunate that the judiciary has been dragged into party infighting, where Court orders, which are otherwise sanitous declarations, are now deployed by warring parties as a means of counting political scores.
“The order stopping the Federal Revenue and Fiscal Allocation Commission from remitting the statutory allocation to the Rivers State people is unconstitutional and uncalled for. However, I am happy that the parties have appealed this ruling to the Court of Appeal. We need to stamp this political maneuvering out of our hallowed temple of justice.”
NJC sacks Rivers, Anambra judges
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that the NJC has announced the suspension of Justice G. C. Aguma of the High Court of Rivers State and Justice A. O. Nwabunike of the Anambra State High Court.
In addition to being suspended for one year without pay, the duo was placed on a watch list for another two years.
The council also recommended compulsory retirement for judges in Imo and Yobe for falsification of their ages.

Ladram Red, Sidmouth, Devon.
Medium: Otter Sandstone, Mercia Mudstone and gouache on handmade cotton rag paper.
Ladram Bay has some beautiful triassic sea stacks- here they are with a touch of cobalt turquoise…if you begin to climb towards Sidmouth and look down and back into the bay a cove reveals itself partially. Access is difficult except from the sea. The water is stained red and yet has the sky in it. I collected my pigments in the bay and worked on this over several visits to the site.
This painting was awarded The Shenzhen International Watercolour Biennial Prize at The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours exhibition (2016) -an award to encourage innovation and experimentation in contemporary water media.
This is ready to hang with a baton attached behind so it is free floating and detached from any wall. This may be inappropriate in some situations. Do contact me to discuss this if you are interested in purchasing.

4 Warning Signs of Kidney Damage You Shouldn't Ignore
The kidney is a very important organ for our body, which helps in removing toxins from the blood. However, when the kidney does not function properly, some symptoms appear in the body. Bad breath is an important symptom of kidney damage. Actually, due to kidney failure, toxins (toxic elements) start accumulating in the blood, which causes bad breath. This is also called 'uremia', which can be a sign of a bad kidney condition. There are also many other symptoms, which indicate this.
By recognizing these symptoms, you can get the right treatment on time. Here today we are telling you 4 such signs including bad breath, which can be a sign of kidney damage.
Change in the urine
When the kidney is damaged, there is a change in urine. Experts say that in case of kidney problems, the color, quantity, and smell of urine can change. If there is foam in the urine, blood, or frequent urination, then it can be a sign of kidney disorder. If this symptom is occurring for a long time, then it should not be ignored.
Swelling in the body
When the kidney is unable to remove excess water and salt from the body properly, then swelling starts in the feet, ankles, face, and hands. This can be a serious symptom and should not be ignored. Apart from this, there are many other diseases, during which swelling can be seen in many parts of the body and some diseases can be serious and even life-threatening, so it is important to get tested.
Itching and dryness in the skin
Kidney malfunction can cause itching, dryness, and rashes in the skin. The reason for this is that when the kidneys are unable to remove toxins from the body properly, they try to come out through the skin, causing itching. If you are feeling this symptom, then you should also get it checked by skin experts once.
Fatigue and weakness
Kidney failure reduces the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, due to which a person may feel problems like fatigue, weakness, and dizziness. It often causes anemia and needs timely treatment. Apart from this, this symptom can also be seen due to a lack of nutrients in the body, so it is important to get tested.
Identify the problem
If you are feeling any of these symptoms repeatedly do not ignore it. Contact a doctor and get some necessary tests done, such as blood tests, urine tests, and kidney function tests. Kidney disease is easy to treat if identified early. You can also keep your kidneys healthy by improving your diet and lifestyle.

Mickey Mouse seems to be the focus in the horror/slasher world as yet another movie will be popping up this year centered on the iconic Disney character as well as they iconic 1928 film ‘Steamboat Willie’ which entered the public domain on January 1st, 2024.
Director Steven LaMorte will be directing the new film, currently untitled, and spoke about it with Variety. LaMorte also directed “The Mean One,” which was a horror parody of the Grinch.
“Steamboat Willie has brought joy to generations, but beneath that cheerful exterior lies a potential for pure, unhinged terror,” LaMorte said in a press release, vie Variety. “It’s a project I’ve been dreaming of, and I can’t wait to unleash this twisted take on this beloved character to the world.”
“It all comes from our love of these characters,” LaMorte said in the interview. “Filmmakers — we’re all kids in the sandbox. We love taking them and playing with them in different ways. It’s not a desire to ruin these characters or make a quick buck, but to love them and honor them and show them in a new light.”
Disney stated that they will be working to protect their copyrights, and LaMorte said that the producers are working with a legal team to ensure that they work well within the law.
“We are doing our due diligence to make sure there’s no question or confusion of what we’re up to,” he said. “This is our version of a public domain character. It’s a scary thrill ride with heart and humor, based on this character that everybody knows.”
Disney issued the following late in 2023.
“We will, of course, continue to protect our rights in the more modern versions of Mickey Mouse and other works that remain subject to copyright, and we will work to safeguard against consumer confusion caused by unauthorized uses of Mickey and our other iconic characters,” Disney said in a statement last month.
In the movie the character will not be called Mickey Mouse, but Steamboat Willie.
It is unclear if there are plans for a run in theaters or on a horror streaming platform when the movie officially rolls out, but stay tuned for more as detailed are released.

Councillors are more likely to be extravert (sic – IDeA are obviously followers of Jung) – 68 per cent compared to the general population’s 52 per cent – and less likely to be introvert than the population as a whole. That is, they are more at home being out and about and engaging in face-to-face conversations with large numbers of people. They will tend to have a broad range of interests and be energised by the cut and thrust of interaction.
Well, there’s a surprise, but it gets better…
Councillors will be more likely to take a hard objective look at the facts and generally will not be ruled by their emotions. They would generally be interested in reaching a solution that was objective and where the ‘business case’ stacked up while the majority of the population would be more concerned with the effect a decision had on people – councillors 67 per cent compared to the population’s 46 per cent.
This is all obviously true and not some puff written to make councillors look good. I guess that is why "a hard objective look at the facts" by most councillors leads to consensus decision-making across political parties.
I’m also sure that the Myers-Briggs test are accurate and that nobody would answer them with the personality they think they should have rather than perfectly objectively. I vaguely recall a test from my undergraduate days that categorised your personality from Rock to Plastic depending on how you shaped your persona to the people and environment around you. If I remember correctly Rob, the Rock, went into corporate banking and Plastic Graeme spent a few years on a PhD before training as a psychologist. No councillors in our group though.

Some people have refunded the latest title by Goodbyeworld Games after finishing it in less than two hours. The studio’s designer is now pitching a special game called Refund This Game to draw attention to Steam’s refund policy.
Before Your Eyes
The story began a few days ago when Bela Messex, lead designer at Goodbyeworld Games, shared a tweet that went viral. It was about the studio’s short story-driven game Before Your Eyes (it now has 98% positive reviews on Steam).
One of the players finished it in just 1.5 hours, left a positive review, and refunded it. Messex wasn’t pleased with this move and called out the problem on Twitter: “I think there should be more short games. I think short games shouldn’t get refunded for delivering an amazing experience.”
yep we made a short game. I think there should be more short games. I think short games shouldn’t get refunded for delivering an amazing experience pic.twitter.com/bdngjVUpBD
— Bela | Before Your Eyes available now! (@BelaMessex) April 12, 2021
Later on, this player apologized to the developer and promised to buy the game back. “I sincerely apologize for abusing what is clearly a broken system,” he wrote on Twitter.
Maxwell, who didn’t expect his message to blow up and draw so much attention, is now planning to release a project called Refund This Game. “2 hours of a black screen with only a timer counting down. In the last five seconds the screen starts flashing ‘quit and refund now,’” the announcement reads.
The whole idea is to highlight some flaws in Steam’s policy that allows users to refund games within the first two hours after launch. That’s why some gamers get their money for short titles back even if they loved the overall experience.
Maxwell has already submitted Refund This Game to Steam at a price of $99.99. Players will also be able to get an achievement if they quit the game within the last 5 seconds.
I just submitted “Refund This Game” to Steam. Watch a timer count to 2 hours and quit within the last 5 seconds for an achievement. Proposed price $99.99. Release date TBA. pic.twitter.com/xaywcZ86mj

Also on: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch
Publisher: Jackbox Games
Developer: Jackbox Games
As much as I love all the Jackbox Party Packs, every time I review one, I have one complaint: there?s always a dud. Whether it?s #4?s Monster Seeking Monster, or #8?s Weapons Drawn, or #3?s Fakin? It, or?well, you get the picture. Every new collection, without fail, there?s one game that sticks out by virtue of not being particularly interesting.
At least, that was the case until Jackbox Party Pack 9. This time out? There are five games here, and every one of them is worth your time.
For the one returning game, Fibbage 4, this could have been expected. Fibbage has always struck a good balance between requiring a good knowledge of trivia and coming up with convincing lies, and that continues here, too. It doesn?t add much to the formula, but it doesn?t really need to: it just has to continue what previous Fibbages have done, and it achieves that.
The other four games, however, were unknown quantities, and any of them could have been a letdown ? and yet, none of them are.
There?s Quixort, which is pronounced ?quick sort? ? which also describes what you do in the game. It gives you a topic (say, Most Humid to Least Humid, or Most Recent Catchphrases to Oldest Catchphrases), then a series of blocks starts falling down the screen which you have to place in order. Given that each team?s turns last a few minutes each, Quixort is definitely slower moving than most other Jackbox entries, but it leads to some great debates, and it?s intuitive enough that pretty much anyone can play.
There?s Junktopia, which is probably the highest concept game of the bunch. A wizard has turned you and your fellow players into frogs, then set you loose in a antique/junk store. You have to pick out an item, and give it a name and a backstory. Each of the items are then compared one-on-one, and the winning item is the one that gets the most votes. You win the game ? and get turned back into a human ? if you end with the most votes overall. In some ways, it?s also the least demanding game in Jackbox Party Pack 9, since the game gives you items and gives you prompts to describe them, but it still allows for just enough creativity that you can be really funny.
There?s Nonsensory, which is as close as Jackbox Party Pack 9 comes to having a drawing game (which might be this entry?s one minor flaw). The game asks you to draw or type something on a scale (i.e. ?Draw someone who?s halfway in between an uncle or a grandfather?, or ?Write a text message where it was 30% likely that the person got murdered halfway through the text?), and then your fellow players have to guess where on the scale your image or sentence goes. As drawing games go, it?s nowhere near as good as, say, Bidiots or Tee-KO, but, again, it gives you just enough room to be creative that it ends up being fun.
Lastly, there?s Roomerang, which was probably the biggest surprise of the bunch ? at least for me. Based on reality shows like Big Brother, you and your fellow players each have one character trait, and you then compete with each other to avoid being kicked out of the house. As players are voted out, new ones come in, but each of them have names that are suspiciously like those of the voted out players. As someone who?s never seen Big Brother, I didn?t go into Roomerang expecting it to have that many possibilities, but the character traits for each new housemate require you to imagine someone very specific ? and they leave room for puns, which I?m always a fan of.
As I noted above, my only real complaint about Jackbox Party Pack 9 is that there aren?t any drawing games ? and that?s more a minor quibble than anything else, since I enjoyed all five games here so much. As the series nears its tenth entry, you?d think that the creative minds at Jackbox might be running out of ideas, but Jackbox Party Pack 9 suggests that they?re only just starting to hit their collective stride.
Jackbox Games provided us with a Jackbox Party Pack 9 PS4/5 code for review purposes.

My engine is the maestro 060 rc version
Almost 2 years ago I bought a used Merlin Beck Maestro at a live Steam meeting. The left side (control parts) had been repaired very improperly and had been supplemented with many self-made screws. Was able to use some parts from a used Maestro with a 32mm gauge and it runs quite well again.
From minute 1:22 in this video you can see the result of my renovation.
Greetings from Austria
Nice video that Gerald. Love the steamers that give us some enjoyable watch, and yours did. Thanks for posting it.

OnePlus and T-Mobile know a few things. they know how to make excellent smartphones, they know how to blanket the country in 5G, and they know everyone is crawling the walls because there’s nowhere to go in the middle of a pandemic. They can’t totally fix that third issue, but they’re trying with their new OnePlus Go Farther scavenger hunt!
For safety, this is a scavenger hunt you can do in your PJs while scrolling Twitter, so basically just like every day since the Ides of March. OnePlus is hiding 3 popup stores around the country, and they’re going to share clues on Twitter through @tmobile and the hashtag #OnePlusGoFarther, which has an oddly close rhythm to ET Phone Home. Sadly, there are no adorable big-eyed aliens at the end of this scavenger hunt, but you could win up to $5,000, a new OnePlus 8T 5G, or some OnePlus Buds Z. So follow the clues, check out OnePlusGoFarther.com, and the next time someone judges you for being lost in doom-scrolling online, at least you’ll have a good excuse!

Exactly one month before Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD Season 7 premiere, ABC dropped a never-before-seen clip from the final 13 episodes of the action-adventure series.
Released on Monday afternoon, the 25-second teaser shows the LMD of Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), Alphonso Mackenzie (Henry Simmons), Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet), and Deke Shaw (Jeff Ward) arriving in 1930s New York for the first time. Wearing sets of clothes that are specific to the era, the quartet can’t help but be mesmerized by the whole different world right in front of them.
A poster for Universal Picture’s Dracula movie seen in the very first frame of the video confirms that Coulson and the team are in 1930s New York. Produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr. and Tod Browning, the supernatural horror film made its world debut in the Empire State back in February 12th, 1931.
A separate teaser released three days ago revealed that the crew need to “change the past to rescue the future.” While that’s downright vague, a brief exchange between LMD Coulson and Johnson perfectly sums up the team’s final mission. “So, you’re saying we have to save SHIELD?” Johnson asks LMD Coulson in the clip. To which he answers, “We have to save Hydra.”
While major plot details about the final season are being kept under wraps, Bennet assured fans that they’re in for a treat. In an interview with Digital Spy in October, the actress said that Season 7 and Season 4 are her “favorite” seasons of the series. “It’s a really big pay-up and it’s really, really fun,” she said of the show’s swan song. “When you’ve done six seasons and that many hours of TV, it’s pretty hard on the writers to think what else do we do, and they killed it. Season 7 is a really, really fun one.”
Agents of SHIELD’s final season premieres on Wednesday, May 27th at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

Echoes of Romanticism - Introduction to the video playlist. |
By William Lloyd This article is intended to be read in conjunction with the video playlist, 'Echoes of Romanticism', (below, at end of article) which uses 100 artworks and photographs to place George Lloyd's music in the context from which it emerged. The introduction is not essential, but it provides explanations for the significance of the images, many of which have a direct and personal connection with the composer and his family. The interests, ideas, pre-occupations and history of George Lloyd’s immediate family in St. Ives marked them out as products of the Romanticism which had dominated European culture since the Enlightenment. The family exhibited many of characteristics of that movement, not merely as observers or followers of fashion, but as practitioners and innovators. That background had a lasting effect on the young composer, whose unusual temperament and unorthodox education allowed him to master a traditional musical language which was then transformed by a strong individuality. He kept one foot in Romanticism and the supernatural fairy world, while planting the other in solid technique and practical application. |
George Lloyd’s music is not ‘Romantic’, or even ‘post-Romantic’. Both those genres are usually associated with the early and late 19th century, whereas his music is without doubt 20th century music, but it ‘sounds like’ music from an earlier period because throughout his life George Lloyd remained loyal to conventional notions of melody, harmony, and counterpoint. He repudiated atonality, serialism and the avant-garde composition techniques which came to dominate classical music during the last century.

Letters from Harold J. Dahl
To: Mrs. Anna M. Dahl
From: Sgt. H. J. Dahl 12151982
Co. D - 603 Eng. Cam. Bn. Sp.
23rd Hq. Sp. Trs.
A.P.O. 655 c/o Postmaster

April 9, 1945
Dear Mom & Lou,
This may stretch itself on to two V-Mails - there seems to be quite a lot to say. For a long time there was no mail from you - now I have 5 letters, the latest of which was written on Easter Sunday [4/1/1945]. Also received 2 packages - one from George [Dahl] and the other containing the children’s things, etc. from you. I’ll do what I can to forward them. They are at the moment excited about their caps. I wrote to Walt the other night so should hear from him soon.
I certainly would like to see the springtime at home. However, they have a spring here, too, and it really is beautiful. Recently I visited my “second home-town” - marveled at the unbelievably neat garden that terrace down the steep gorges where the fortifications once were, - sat for a group picture as we dunked doughnuts on the terrace of the Red Cross Club, drinking in the warmest sunshine so far and resplendent in our 2 overseas (Hershey) bars and our bright red, white & blue shoulder patches (as pictured on the Xmas card I sent you). It did my heart good to see how the place has perked up now that the war has gone so far away and so many citizens have been sent home from German camps, emaciated and weak but among the world’s happiest men. It is far more costly to love liberty on Germany’s border than it is in the kind of place we know at home.
[cont’d on 2nd Vmail]
I’m glad to hear that Sarita is stronger now. It will be nice for all if she can join you soon in Towaco. And I’m sure Thelma’s “taste” is O.K.
Yes, I’ve seen about all of the cathedral you mention. It is very nice, has a wonderful organ. Some months ago some German contraption knocked a chunk out of one spire but that should be easy to fix.
Some more instructions - when the Mauser arrives it might be well to soak off some of the grease in kerosene before you take it to the Colonel. It must be a mess, the way I packed it. Also when it arrives, Lou, please telephone Lou Kane at Kirtland Bros. and ask him to get a rough “Peerless” (Stoeger Arms) or equivalent stock for it. Should be $6.00 - I’m asking the favor of him not with the idea of cutting down on the price but because I know I can trust him to make sure the grain runs correctly, etc. I’m sure he’ll understand. When I get home I can have some fun fitting it to the rifle.
I’m all out of tea - will you send some, please? And thanks for the music - we’ll have fun with it. I sent home a small package - the buckle is for Kent or Dan [Van Duyne] - the buttons would make drawer pulls - the little box contains a cuff link and 2 coins for another. Save the S.& S. and the flag, too -

The Glowpear Urban Garden comes with a convenient water level indicator that rises and falls in tandem with the water reservoir. When the water reservoir is full the water level indicator will sit upright revealing the green walls of the indicator. Conversely, when you see the indicator lowering to become flush with the top surface, the water reservoir is low so it’s time to add water.
Glowpears are designed with the flexibility to compliment your lifestyle. Accordingly, there are four options for watering your Glowpears: 1. Via rainwater if exposed to the elements. 2. Manually water the soil with a garden hose, drip system or watering can. 3. Manually fill the water reservoir via the fill point. 4. Clip on a hose and irrigate directly into the reservoir. Whichever option you choose, Glowpear’s innovative self-watering technology ensures excess water is collected and released over time so your plants receive constant attention and nourishment.
Some of us love watering plants, while others couldn't think of anything worse. Whether plant watering once a day, once a week, or never, the Glowpear Urban Garden has a solution to suit your lifestyle.
Plant watering can be achieved either directly through the soil, or periodically top up the reservoir via the fill point.
Our self watering technology makes Glowpear 'set and forget', making gardening that much easier. Watch the videos below to see how you can set up your own self watering challenge!
It’s no secret that watering is an important part of gardening – but we don’t all approach it quite the same way. While we’re not pointing any fingers (even at those cactus-killers amongst us…!), the truth is that some watering habits are better than others. And if your greenery ain’t so green, watering could be the factor that’s to blame.

Dwight Pollard Signs With Factory BRP Can-Am
Dwight Pollard 2018 FACTORY BRP CAN-AM/DERISI RACING/TIRESPINE RIDER
DeRisi Racing is proud to announce that our 2017 GNCC 4x4 A class champion, Dwight Pollard, has signed with factory BRP Cam-Am for the 2018 GNCC season. Dwight will be piloting a DeRisi Racing/ Tirespine factory BRP backed Can-Am Renegade 1000XXC on the 4x4 Pro line. The up and coming 4x4 rider will be a huge asset to the team because of his experience on and off the track and DeRisi Racing is looking forward to working with him again this year.
Santo DeRisi said, “I am excited and thankful to know we have not one, but two riders signed with factory BRP Can-Am. We have worked with Dwight for many years and I couldn’t be happier for him!”
Dwight is known as one of the go to guys to talk to if you are wanting to make the switch from sport quad to utility. He has been instrumental in this aspect and was one of the major reasons why Landon Wolfe and many others made the change from sport quads. Reliability is the point Dwight sells well with his amazing track record on his DeRisi built and tuned suspension, combined with his own run flat tire inflation system Tirespine. You cannot get any more reliable then this amazing setup. The list of riders on 4x4 this year is racking up and we are anticipating great things to come for us and our riders.
Dwight Pollard “I am really excited to be working closer with Can Am this upcoming season, their support is incredible in all aspects. We are looking forward to the future and what it will bring.”

God, tell me a story about…animals
Jonah and the Big Fish
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
Read Jonah 1-3
Or click here to watch the video
1 – In the past couple weeks we’ve seen that God sometimes asks us to do things that are unpopular, difficult, scary. He asked Noah to build a boat in the desert. Daniel obeyed God instead of the king, even though he knew it meant he would be thrown into the lion’s den. In today’s story, God asks Jonah to go to Nineveh, a city filled with wickedness. How did Jonah respond to God?
2 – Jonah said no to God. Why do you think he said no? Have you ever said no to God? Why?
3 – How did God respond when Jonah tried to get away? Why do you think God sent the storm? What happens to make the storm stop?
4 – God does many things to remind us that He is in control, that He wants us to obey, and that He loves us. What does God do next to remind Jonah of all these things? (verse 17)
5 – How do you think Jonah felt inside the belly of the fish? How would you feel if you were trapped somewhere dark and smelly? What does Jonah do next? What do you do when you’re scared? Why?
6- How many days was Jonah in the belly of the fish? Have you seen that number before in the bible? Someone very famous was also in the dark, in a sense, for three days, who was it?
7 – Even though Jonah disobeyed God, God did not forget about him. God was in control and God kept Jonah safe. This is important to remember. Do you ever disobey God? Remember, that even though we sometimes make mistakes, God still loves us. In the end, Jonah obeys God and goes to Nineveh. This is also important. It’s never too late to obey and follow God’s directions. What is God asking you to do now?
This week’s challenge
Take some time this week to listen to God; pray, meditate, or read your bible and listen to God. What is He asking you to do?

The CWA and the Dog Writers Association of America have been media partners of Goodnewsforpets.com since its launch in 2000. So, it’s with great pride in this 18th year of Goodnewsforpets.com and 20th anniversary year of Germinder + Associates that we are still celebrating the award-winning work of both organization’s members. This week the CWA is announcing the date and location of their 25th Anniversary Banquet Celebration. We’re thrilled to be an integral part of that celebration. That’s no small feat to endure for 25 years and with the success of last year’s conference we expect the conference to be the best yet. The contest will open soon and we’ll help get the word out there too.
This week we are also announcing the keynote speakers for DWAA TV Host Jill Rappaport and Radio Host Journalist Steve Dale to speak at the 2019 DWAA Awards Banquet. With the venerable DWAA contest closing next weekend, we’re quite sure DWAA members are hard at work laboring to finalize their entries. Good for them and good luck!
In other news, we’re helping spread the word about the NY Vet show again, scheduled in New York Jacob Javits Center November 8-9, 2019. Not only do we love the pink of that conference, we’ll have a booth again and I’ll be speaking twice.
