“Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest. Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.” ~Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Are you fighting for a cause? Do you want to effect change or transformation in your community?
Reflect upon these insightful words by Oprah Winfrey: “Everyone who’s protesting today could benefit from seeing the STRATEGIC INTENTION that had to happen in order for real progress to be made. You have to have a clear strategic intention of what it is you’re trying to achieve. And you cannot he beard unless you come in PEACE!” ~Oprah Winfrey on the movie ‘SELMA’ – about the civil rights protests led by Martin Luther King.
(Off topic, I watched Selma today and I highly recommend it to everyone: white, black, red and brown! It is a metaphoric and symbolic depiction of the power of planned, sustained and well implemented struggle. The lessons are valuable for life, civil society, business and governance..)
Recently, events around race issues, terrorism and other socio-economic challenges around the world, have brought to fore the power of the message of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It has also ignited a spark, especially among the younger generation, who engage and participate in the discussions about these controversial issues (both offline and online). This post is targeted to change agents, catalysts of transformation and anyone out there who is challenging and asking questions about the present undesirable status quo. Here are some pointers to engage and inspire you as you continue with these necessary debates.
This is not the time for senseless, angry, directionless demonstrations, protests or utterances. In social media, offline and energetically, avoid being all over the place; FOCUS on developing, crafting and sharing your concise message. And you have to be very strategic and tactical in your action steps. Not every battle is worth engaging in, pick your fights wisely.
Become aware of the people and space you surround yourself with. You’ll be invited by a lot of people who are ‘experts in the art of arguments’, to engage in the ‘I’m right’ and ‘you’re wrong’ discussions or debates. The temptation will be to engage; argue with, be defensive or react to them.
Please, do NOT lend your energy to anything that would distract you from your purpose and/or detract from your message. Decline to attend ‘ego-based argument parties.’ They are a waste of your time and take you farther away from your dreams and goals of creating change! Let go of the attachment to proving you are ‘right’ and focus on the outcomes you desire.
Only go where people are genuinely committed and open to working together to find concrete solutions. Blaming and finger pointing are the easy part, taking RESPONSIBILITY and actually doing something requires that you LEAD and empower both yourself and others with a new way of thinking and BEING. More than ever, this is the time to ‘BE the change you seek’ a la Ghandi!
People may throw labels at you, make generalized assumptions, delete or distort your message, let them be. Everyone creates and projects their inner world unto the world around them in order to find their own resolutions or answers.
Take your learnings from their opinions after weighing them but never take it personal or allow yourself to get sucked into the drama of other people’s opinions. Our belief systems are different. Do you and let others do them too! Sometimes, people take two seemingly different, yet valid approaches to achieve the same aim. Have clarity on your ‘why’ and be aligned with your personal values and deeper principles.
Understand that ALL human beings have universals needs; a need for love, stability, acceptance, significance, to be heard, to be a part of a community, to be acknowledged,…This may be manifested in either healthy or unhealthy ways.
Focus on the reason behind the reasons, i.e. the ROOT CAUSES of behaviour in order to change and replace the strategies with healthier options.
Separating people from their behaviour takes the judgement out, gifts your thinking process with a degree of neutrality and allows for behavioural flexibility, which creates a sacred space for deep and sustainable transformation to occur (in both yourself and others). Remember the law of Requisite Variety -the most flexible person in the room controls the room and the system!
In order to change people’s model of the world, you may need to enter it, acknowledge it and explore it, (without necessarily accepting it). All things work together for good. Read the metaphors and parables in the bible and other holy books. They are rich with models of how to renew souls and spirits from the very source, with sublime wisdom and subtlety of language!
Be open to different perspectives and respect everyone right to their approach and points of views, however, have CLARITY on your own message and build up communities that create measurable progress by giving everyone a voice. It is in the respectful exchange of ideas that creative solutions are birthed.
Talk is cheap, create spaces that foster critical reasoning, experiential leadership development and progressive thinking, by putting your resources where your mouth is. Be very strategic towards your vision. I cannot emphasize this enough.
Take time to engage with people on a one-on-one basis and take deeper conversations offline (via phone or face-to-face), so that the right intentions are established and thus, more solutions proffered. INTENTION governs everything! Become more aware of why and how you argue with, speak to, think about, and act towards others.
Whatever is buried deep unconsciously always finds a way to the surface. Pay attention to not only what you/others say, but also WHY and HOW it is said. As the Holy books teach, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Ask yourself, “what is my heart really filled with?” Remember to be more aware of your emotional guidance scale.
First think and speak subjectively, then re-frame yourself and then think and speak objectively (without the charge of your emotions). This exercise, when applied towards all decision-making processes, especially when tempers are running high or with controversial topics, allows one to behave differently in a way that is empowering rather than dis-empowering.
As a mentor of mine aptly puts it: “When emotions are high, intelligence is low.” Avoid being a slave to your emotions. Let’s become more aware of where we are at any given time, on the emotional guidance scale and learn to channel the force of our emotions constructively and with intentions 🙂
In conclusion, in order to effect sustainable and wide-reaching change, it is imperative to have clarity on both your driving intentions and expected outcomes, develop a clear strategic plan, build strategic bridges and alliances with others and be consistent in the implementation of your plans.
It is also important to have buffers, structures, systems and built-in processes, in order to encourage measurable metrics, constant feedback, re-strategizing and continuos improvement.
“Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable…Every step towards the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.” ~Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Louise had lots to share from her Fall travels to US cities and to Tuscany!
They were all over the place during that trip to Portland, OR — talkative pets! I was surrounded by them at pet-friendly restaurants (yes, dogs allowed in some) and just about everywhere I'd walk or hang out. Friendly Portland = Friendly Pets.
I was browsing downtown the other day when I ALMOST passed a young gal, perched on the retaining wall bordering Pioneer Square Park. I say 'almost' passed, because her big ‘ole HUUUGE drooling husky wouldn’t let me pass by without transmitting a very loud message:
I was attending the Willamette Writers Conference in Portland, OR, and met with a few clients in person. Whenever I hang out with friends, hostesses and coordinators, it’s fairly routine for me to relay messages from their pets who usually rush toward me, first thing, insisting that I pass on a few thoughts to their beloved owners.
Pets’ telepathized transmissions usually relate to their favorite toys, food or sleeping preferences, or sentiments regarding friendly (or unfriendly) animals in their proximity.
So interesting, that yesterday Jaene (my project manager) alerted me to the item I posted on my Facebook page, the photo of a crash victim’s spirit leaving the body. Fifteen years ago, she and I stood together on our rooftop in Manhattan the morning of 9/11, and watched with horror from several blocks away as WTC2 fell.
I met Veronica in 2012 when I was featured on the local news to announce an upcoming intuition workshop I was to present at a nearby college. I arrived early for the interview, making sure I’d be at the right location on the campus. I was amazed as I watched this stunning young gal coming up the walkway, lugging a monstrous camcorder on her petite frame. Her boss was a hefty fellow who led the way, trailing a few feet ahead of her. He began the interview with opening questions, Veronica shooting the footage, and then she and I did a walk-and-talk while he manned the camera.

The Earth Mother Goddess of Congo, Africa, whose name became the root word for zombies. Her image was distorted due to the influence of the folklores about her. A self-proclaimed necromancer who hunts for Command Spells and manipulates the dead. She is not to be confused with Nzambi a Mpungu, a male creator god from the same religion.
Nzambi is described as having silver hair and dark skin with a cold undertone.
Nzambi appears to only show interest in death and spreading her zombie infection. She displays a curiosity and respect for Erice Utsumi, saying that her powers are equal to hers when it comes to wielding death.
The Boy Among the Stars
Nzambi is a killer who collects Command Spells by cutting off the body parts of Masters. She plans to release her zombies, whom she refers to as her "children", across the entire city. She attacks in the middle of the Grail Tournament, letting her zombies loose in the Colosseum to rampage and spread their infection. After battling Koharu and Erice, Nzambi retreats when Voyager destroys her sword.
Although Nzambi is believed to be a Caster Class, she denies this fact, instead calling herself a sorceress, but also claims she doesn't care about any distinction between the two. She is able to transform people into zombies with Voodoo. This is even able to affect Servants, as shown with Hannibal. The zombie infection can spread through physical contact with someone who is already a zombie. It is also possible to conceal the zombies deaths to certain extents, reanimating the corpses to act the same as when they were alive and disguising that they've lost their Command Spells.
Also among her strengths and contradictory to the belief of her being a Caster Class, is her strangely shaped weapon, a Sword comprised of an odd design, having a small loop segment in the middle, two points in the middle of the upper blade portion and ending in three tips, the outermost of them being curled about in the middle and curved outward. Her skill with said weapon is enough to overwhelm and best Koharu despite her fusing with Galahad and using his abilities to aid her, flicking her weapon this way and that in a flurry of savage blows. She can also heal herself by eating Command Spells, and it even manages to repair her cape that was previously torn.

1) wash mushrooms, drain, and cut them into smaller pieces if necessary, or rinse and drain mushrooms if you’re using canned mushroom
2) pour oil into a frying skillet, wait to heat up, then place mushrooms inside and fry them over a very high temperature
3) in the meantime, place spaghetti to boil into a pot with salted water and wait to soften according to instructions on the package
4) when water in the skillet dropped significantly, add garlic (peeled and chopped previously) and continue frying ingredients for 3-5 minutes or until the water drops almost completely
5) place sour cream into a bowl and add over chopped dill, season with some salt and ground white pepper to taste, then combine these ingredients well by hand
6) reduce temperature, pour sour cream over mushrooms, mix, and wait just until the mushroom sauce starts bubbling, then turn off the stove
7) drain water from spaghetti, place them into plates, then top them with the creamy mushroom sauce
Mushroom pasta is, without any doubt, one of the most popular dishes nowadays in many parts of the world including the United States. Various types of food recipes are available that contain pasta and mushrooms among the ingredients but the most popular are those with spaghetti and mushroom sauce with sour cream.
On this webpage, I share a mushroom pasta recipe that I cook pretty often since my whole family likes this dish. It is simple, requires few ingredients and a short preparation time and, in addition, it is very tasty, so it would be a real win for you if you added it to your list of favorite recipes.
When it comes to mushrooms, I often use Champignon or Portobello mushrooms because they are found in abundance in most supermarkets at a convenient price. Of course, you can use other types of fresh mushrooms for this mushroom spaghetti sauce recipe.
The flavors used in my recipe are quite simple but both garlic and green dill go very well with mushrooms. If you don’t like dill or you don’t have it at hand, you can replace it with parsley, coriander, or basil leaves.
Regarding the heavy cream, I recommend you use a quality product to avoid it turn sour when it comes in contact with the high temperature in the pan. Cooking cream is the most suitable, but you can also use various vegetable creams to replace it.
Finally, when you cook this mushroom pasta recipe, I use durum wheat flour spaghetti because this type is the best for your health. Even if spaghetti is the most suitable for this recipe, you can use other types of pasta if you have them at hand.
If you are wondering what drink to serve next to the spaghetti mushroom sauce recipe, white or even rosé wine is the most suitable.
Enjoy cooking the mushroom pasta recipe with sour cream!
Mushroom sauce is a white or brown sauce prepared using mushrooms as its primary ingredient. It can be prepared in different styles using various ingredients and is used to top a variety of foods.
In cooking, the mushroom sauce is a sauce with mushrooms as the primary ingredient. Often cream-based, it can be served with veal, chicken and poultry, pasta, and other foods such as vegetables. Some sources also suggest pairing mushroom sauce with fish.
It is made with mushrooms, butter, cream or olive oil, white wine (some variations may use a mellow red wine), and pepper with a wide variety of variations possible with additional ingredients such as shallot, garlic, lemon juice, flour (to thicken the sauce), chicken stock, saffron, basil, parsley, or other herbs. It is a variety of allemande sauce.
The mushroom sauce can also be prepared as a brown sauce. Canned mushrooms can be used to prepare the sauce.Mushroom sauce (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_sauce)
Mushrooms are low-calorie food that packs a nutritional punch. Loaded with many health-boosting vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they’ve long been recognized as an important part of any diet. For instance, mushrooms raised with exposure to ultraviolet light are a good source of Vitamin D, an important component in bone and immune health.
Lower Blood Pressure
Mushrooms are rich sources of potassium, a nutrient known for reducing the negative impact that sodium can have on your body. Potassium also lessens the tension in blood vessels, potentially helping to lower blood pressure.
Boost Immune System
The anti-inflammatory effect of mushrooms has been shown to greatly improve the efficiency of the immune system. Research has found that mushrooms help stimulate microphages in the immune system, enhancing its ability to defeat foreign bodies and making you less susceptible to serious illnesses.
Long and short-term studies alike have found that mushrooms, in combination with exercise and other lifestyle changes, can have an important impact on weight loss. For example, after being asked to substitute 20 percent of their beef consumption with mushrooms, research participants showed improvements in their BMI and belly circumference. The antioxidants in mushrooms are also thought to reduce the risk of hypertension and other metabolic disorders.Health Benefits of Mushrooms (https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-mushrooms#1)

Two motions in the House of Commons have paid tribute to Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
Leicester East MP Keith Vaz put forward one of the motions, calling on all MPs to “expresses deep sorrow” for the “tragic death” of the Thai billionaire, whose helicopter crashed after take-off on Saturday.
The motion also states that the House of Commons mourns the deaths of the other four people onboard the aircraft and “recognises Khun Vichai's outstanding leadership of the club”.
It goes on to call upon Parliament to recognise “his unshakable belief, drive and vision which led to Leicester winning the Premier League in 2016, and sends its deepest condolences to his family and the supporters and staff of Leicester City Football Club."
The four other victims were Mr Srivaddhanaprabha's employees, Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare, pilot Eric Swaffer and his girlfriend and co-pilot Izabela Roza Lechowicz.
Shadow health secretary Jon Ashworth, who represents Leicester South, also brought up the helicopter crash in the House of Commons.
He told fellow MPs during the Budget debate this week: "The city I represent is grieving.
"We have lost a much-loved friend who enjoyed the respect, affection and admiration not just of Leicester City football fans but of everyone across our city.
"Our condolences go to the loved ones of all who lost their life in that terrible helicopter crash, and I pay my tribute to our extraordinary emergency services - the police, the fire and rescue services, the NHS and all of the staff for their quick response, dedication and their professionalism."
Another Leicester City fan, the Northern Irish MP Jim Shannon, put forward his own motion, which thanked Mr Srivaddhanaprabha for the success he brought to the Foxes and his contribution to community projects.
Mr Shannon's motion said: "That this House conveys its sympathy to the family of Leicester City FC owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha on his death and to the other people who are also grieving.
"(It) thanks Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha for the success he brought to Leicester City FC and for the contribution that he made to Leicester University, hospital and other community projects, and remembers at this time of sorrow and tragedy that all of the families are in our thoughts and prayers."
On Sunday night Mr Vaz addressed the tens of thousands gathered for Leicester’s Diwali celebration about the tragedy.

An Associated Press reporter was quick to politicize the death of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts on Tuesday because the suspect arrested and charged with her murder was an illegal immigrant.
Zeke Miller, the AP’s White House reporter, quote tweeted a link to the Washington Post’s article about Tibetts’ body being found, adding, “Likely coming to a Trump rally near you…. Investigators: Suspect in Mollie Tibbetts death is in custody, subject to immigration detainer.” (RELATED: Illegal Immigrant Charged With Murder Of Iowa College Student Mollie Tibbetts)
Miller then sent a follow up tweet nearly four hours later, after the police announced they had a suspect in custody, “Obviously a tragedy. Just pointing out the obvious _ that this revelation contributes to that which POTUS has been highlighting…”
Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, was charged with murder. He had resided in the area for four to seven years, officials said. He led investigators to the body’s location after confirming that he interacted with her while she was running and she felt threatened by him. (RELATED: Body Of Mollie Tibbetts Has Been Found: Sources)
Mollie Tibbetts was a rising sophomore studying psychology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.

"click wheel problems - reset works" için yanıtI feel your pain. I bought some broken iPods and am trying to figure this one out as well. What I have discovered is that when I move the flex ribbon of the click wheel a certain way while it is connected to the mother board, the click wheel works. It has something to do with the connection, although I can't say this is the same problem everyone is having. What I do know is that it's not a software issue. I have restored after restored after restored and even zero'd out the data with disk utility and then restored again with itunes. Unless I need to downgrade the firmware, which I really don't think will help. I can't tell if there was liquid damage, but nothing indicates this on my iPod. All I know is that I was able to use the iPod properly when the ribbon was forced a certain angle....and then it glitched out and kept restarting and now I can't get it to do anything. Figures.

Welcome to my Time Traveller series!
I love history, from the dark depths of centuries gone past, to more recent years. So I’ve reached out to my fellow bloggers and small business owners and asked if they could go back in time, when would they travel to and why?
This week I’m joined by Jo from Pickle and Poppet:
If I could go back in time where would I go?
I thought this would be such an easy question to answer until I sat down and thought about it. There are so many eras that would be interesting to visit. To see what it was actually like, but what would be my absolute favourite?
When I think back to my history lessons the one era that I loved learning was about the Egyptians. This would be where I would travel to.
I think it would be amazing to go back and see how hieroglyphics began. To learn to read and understand them. The whole concept of language with pictures and that’s before you even start thinking about papyrus paper.
A time of history where reading and writing were for the ‘powerful’ and not something that was common. Yet, they could work out how to build, plough and make things.
I have always thought them to be spiritualists. They have their rituals following deaths. This to me is probably the most fascinating. I am in touch with my spiritualist side. I believe in there being something after death. I believe that this is not the end. I would love to know why they felt that they needed their possessions in the afterlife. Why they were buried with their gold.
Obviously I am also aware that it was a massive period for slavery and poor being made to work. This is not the side I would like to see. The thought of whipping and beating others who aren’t doing as you wish is wrong. I suppose you could say I would like to experience the wealth of the Egyptian years. The life of the Pharaohs. It’s just fascinating. Maybe it is for this reason I have a pull of visiting the country at some point.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Jo! I agree, there must be so much about that period of time that we have still to learn and understand better.
If you would like to read more from Jo, then be sure to check out her blog or look her up on social media:

Sleep Well™ Spray – Nature’s own Sleep Formula – melatonin
Sleep Well™ Spray Can Help Overcome:
- Melatonin Deficiency
- And Other Sleeping Disorders
~ Sleep Well™ Spray – Nature’s own Sleep Formula – melatonin ~
or to Buy now
Sleep Well™ Ingredients
Sleep Well™ Spray is a synergistic blend of nature’s own sleep formula.
It is recommended for use to reset your body’s biological clock. It is especially effective for those experiencing insomnia resulting from anxiety, jet-lag time zone change, melatonin deficiency, and other sleep disorders.
Sleep Well™ Spray contains the proprietary combination of with 5-HTP, Melatonin, Valerian Root, Passiflora, Hops, and MSM, and Vitamin B3.
What is 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan)?5-HTP has been shown to increase REM sleep, deep-sleep, and reduce symptoms of insomnia. Increased levels of endorphins (polypeptides) and other neurotransmitters produced in the brain contribute to mood elevating, relaxing, and analgesic effects.
Clinical research has shown supplementation of 5-HTP to have beneficial effects upon anxiety, depression, obesity, seasonal affective disorder, and the relief and prevention of migraine headaches.
5-HTP works to enhance sleep by increasing the cell’s output of serotonin. It is far more efficient than L-tryptophan (a popular sleep remedy) as it is a direct precursor to serotonin and has a conversion percentage of 70% compared to 1-3% for L-tryptophan.
What is Melatonin? Melatonin is the all natural nightcap. As our eyes register the nightly fall in darkness, melatonin is produced by the pineal gland at the center of the brain and secreted to help our bodies regulate our sleep-wake cycle. Studies suggest a low dose supplement of melatonin can help us sleep and ease jet-lag. As we age, the amount of melatonin produced by our body decreases. Scientists believe this is why seniors often suffer from diminished sleep capacity.

Impaired aortic distensibility and elevated central blood pressure in Turner Syndrome: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study
Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance volume 20, Article number: 80 (2018)
Women with Turner Syndrome have an increased risk for aortic dissection. Arterial stiffening is a risk factor for aortic dilatation and dissection. Here we investigate if arterial stiffening can be observed in Turner Syndrome patients and is an initial step in the development of aortic dilatation and subsequent dissection.
Fifty-seven women with Turner Syndrome (48 years [29–66]) and thirty-six age- and sex-matched controls (49 years [26–68]) were included. Distensibility, blood pressure, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), the augmentation index (Aix) and central blood pressure were determined using cardiovascular magnetic resonance, a 24-h blood pressure measurement and applanation tonometry. Aortic distensibility was determined at three locations: ascending aorta, transverse aortic arch, and descending aorta.
Mean aortic distensibility in the descending aorta was significantly lower in Turner Syndrome compared to healthy controls (P = 0.02), however, this was due to a much lower distensibility among Turner Syndrome with coarctation, while Turner Syndrome without coarctation had similar distensibility as controls. Both the mean heart rate adjusted Aix (31.4% vs. 24.4%; P = 0.02) and central diastolic blood pressure (78.8 mmHg vs. 73.7 mmHg; P = 0.02) were higher in Turner Syndrome compared to controls, and these indices correlated significantly with ambulatory night-time diastolic blood pressure. The presence of aortic coarctation (r = − 0.44, P = 0.005) and a higher central systolic blood pressure (r = − 0.34, P = 0.03), age and presence of diabetes were inversely correlated with aortic distensibility in TS.
Aortic wall function in the descending aorta is impaired in Turner Syndrome with lower distensibility among those with coarctation of the aorta, and among all Turner Syndrome higher Aix, and elevated central diastolic blood pressure when compared to sex- and age-matched controls.
The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT01678274) on September 3, 2012.
Turner Syndrome is the second most common chromosomal aneuploidy in females, occurring in 1 out of 2000 live births . Women with Turner Syndrome face a 100-fold increased risk of aortic dissection [2, 3], which, along with a high incidence of coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke and congenital heart disease may detrimentally impact life expectancy [4,5,6]. Factors associated with the often fatal aortic dissection include aortic dilatation , hypertension , bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) , 45,X karyotype, and coarctation of the aorta (CoA) [3, 9,10,11]. Unfortunately, these known risk factors fail to predict all events of aortic dissection , and there is a need to improve risk stratification beyond measuring aortic diameter and assessing aortic growth. A risk factor that considers the dynamic properties of aortic wall function could result in better prediction of dissection and rupture risk. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can locally assess aortic distensibility. A prior study found reduced aortic distensibility in adolescents with Turner Syndrome at the level of the pulmonary artery bifurcation and the level of the diaphragm . Increased arterial stiffness could therefore be a part of the pathophysiology behind the high prevalence of aortic disease in Turner Syndrome . Hence, assessment of arterial stiffness may help elucidate impaired arterial function to better understand aortic disease and ultimately to improve the identification of patients with aortic dilation and hopefully to improve prognostication of this group of patients, as shown in other populations [15, 16].
The aim of this study was to investigate arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters, such as blood pressure, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), the augmentation index (Aix), central blood pressure, rate of dilation of the aorta and distensibility in the thoracic aorta in adults with Turner Syndrome, compared to healthy controls.
Females with karyotype-proven Turner Syndrome and age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled into this cross-sectional study from a prospective study of cardiovascular health in Turner Syndrome [11, 17, 18]. The participants had been recruited through the Danish National Society of Turner Syndrome Contact Group and an endocrine outpatient clinic. Exclusion criteria were malignancy, liver disease, contraindications to CMR, and pregnancy. Out of 67 eligible participants, fifty-seven completed this study, with exclusions due to CMR contraindications (n = 1), claustrophobia (n = 1), prior Bentall procedure (n = 1), suboptimal image quality with repeat CMR declined (n = 2), and aortic valve prosthesis (n = 6). Out of 39 eligible healthy age-matched controls, 36 completed the study with exclusions due to claustrophobia (n = 1) and suboptimal image quality with repeat CMR declined (n = 2). All examinations were performed during the same day.
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and pulse wave analysis (experiment 1)
In a first experiment pulse waves were recorded in the carotid and the femoral artery using a SphygmoCor (SPT-301B; Millar, Houston, Texas, USA) in combination with an applanation tonometer. Based on non-invasive recordings of the pulse waves, central blood pressure and carotid femoral pulse wave velocity can be determined. The investigation was performed between 7.30 A.M. and 9.30 A.M. following an overnight fast. Participants were instructed not to smoke or ingest caffeinated beverages at least 3 h before the examinations. Two of the investigators (JW and CT) performed all measurements with the patient in the supine position in a temperature-controlled room after > 5 min of rest.
PWV calculation is based on recording travel speed of the pulse wave generated by cardiac contraction over a known distance and is reported as meters/second. With the SphygmoCor system, the carotid PWV is calculated by so-called sequential electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated pulse wave recordings: With the patient in the supine position, three ECG electrodes were applied allowing the recording of R-waves. The distance between the suprasternal notch and the carotid pulse mark and the distance between the suprasternal notch and the femoral pulse mark were measured and entered into the SphygmoCor software. The software then subtracted the suprasternal notch-carotid distance from the suprasternal notch-femoral distance (dist_subtr). The pulse wave at the carotid artery was then recorded by the tonometer, and the time delay between the R-wave and the arrival of the pulse wave at the carotid artery was stored. Then pulse wave was recorded at the femoral artery, and the time delay between the R-wave and the arrival of the pulse wave at the femoral artery was stored. The software then subtracted the travel time of the recorded R-wave to the carotid artery from the travel time of the recorded R-wave to the femoral artery (=travel time, subtr) and calculated the carotid-femoral PWV as (dist, subtr)/(travel time, subtr). The transit time was determined by the intersecting tangent algorithm method , as recommended by the manufacturer (www.atcormedical.com.au/download/Active/Research_Manual_(CVMS).pdf). The SphygmoCor equipment averages the pulse wave velocity over multiple heart cycles during 10 s of recordings. Distances were measured using a slide gauge. At least two PWV measurements were obtained, accepting a standard deviation< 20% for each individual PWV measurement, which is typically composed of the average of 7–8 heart beats. Quality control excluded nine individuals with Turner Syndrome and six controls from the PWV , and in five individuals with Turner Syndrome and one control, we could not technically measure PWV. Fifteen individuals with Turner Syndrome and five controls were excluded from the PWV analysis due to an Operator Index ≤80, and three Turner Syndrome individuals were technically impossible to measure. Therefore, 49 participants with Turner Syndrome and 34 controls had valid data for PWV analysis.
Pulse wave analysis
The PWV at the radial artery was recorded non-invasively during 10 s by the Millar tonometer. Based on recordings of the radial pulse wave, blood pressure in the ascending aorta was computed using the inbuilt transfer function of the SphygmoCor software . The computations were calibrated by cuff-based brachial systolic and diastolic blood pressure as recommended by the manufacturer. Blood pressure was measured by a Riester Champion N automatic blood pressure monitor three times and averaged (Riester GmbH, Jungingen, Germany). Before blood pressure measurements, arm circumference was measured with a tape measure and an appropriately sized cuff was used.
The Aix is an expression of the augmentation of the blood pressure in the ascending aorta from reflecting waves adding to the blood pressure generated from the systolic contraction. The Aix in the ascending aorta was computed based on the recordings at the radial artery. The pressure arising from the reflected waves is termed the augmentation pressure. The sum of the forward and the reflected waves is the central pulse pressure. The central Aix was calculated as the augmentation pressure divided by the central pulse pressure and thus expressed the augmentation pressure as a percentage of the pulse pressure [19, 22]. Aix was adjusted for heart rate by linear regression.
Pulse wave analysis measurements with an operator index (measure of both waveform reproducibility and signal strength) of ≤80 was excluded as recommended by the vendor .
Aortic distensibility (experiment 2)
At 11 A.M. CMR was performed on a 1.5 Tesla CMR (Achieva-dStream, Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) scanner using the standard anterior and posterior coils. Aortic distensibility was derived from 2D cine images acquired with a balanced steady-state-free-precession (bSSFP) sequence using retrospective electrocardiogram (ECG) gating. Repetition time was 3.6 ms and echo time was 1.8 ms. Depending on heart rate, 19 to 24 cardiac frames were acquired in a 14 s breath-hold. Slice thickness was 6 mm, field-of-view was 313 × 313 mm2 and pixel size was 1.6 × 1.6 mm2. Three imaging planes were acquired perpendicular to the aortic wall at: 1) the ascending aorta at the level of the main pulmonary artery bifurcation, 2) the transverse aortic arch, and 3) the descending aorta at the level of the main pulmonary artery bifurcation (Fig. 1a). The arterial blood pressure for distensibility calculation was measured before and after the scan with the patient lying on the scanner bed, using a CMR compatible sphygmomanometer (Aneroid, ERKA, Germany). Average blood pressure from the two measurements was used in subsequent computations. Aortic distensibility AoD was calculated as:
where ΔA is the difference between the maximum and minimum cross-sectional aortic area over the cardiac cycle, ΔP is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and Adia is the diastolic cross-sectional aortic area . The cross-sectional areas were obtained by semi-automatic segmentation of the vessel through all cardiac frames using the Siswin® software (Steffen Ringgaard, Aarhus, Denmark). The vessel lumen was manually selected by a single point within the vessel in one frame, and the vessel edge was determined as the maximum image intensity gradient found radially from this point. Edge point outliers were removed, and an ellipse was fitted to the edge points. The automatic vessel selections were visually inspected and manually corrected where necessary (Fig. 1b). The variation of aortic area over the cardiac cycle is shown in Fig. 1c. All participants were examined by the same staff and in the same scanner. The scans were analysed in two bulks. Scans were analysed in duplicates following anonymization using digest package in R (3.1.0 Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). One scan was analysed 10 times to determine intra-observer variability of distensibility (coefficient of variation: 10% at the ascending aorta, 8% at the aortic arch, and 11% at the descending aorta).
Echocardiography and anatomical CMR (experiment 3)
As previously described and presented elsewhere [17, 24], transthoracic echocardiography was performed by a single observer on a GE Vivid 7 (GE Healthcare, Horten, Norway), with a 2.5 MHz transducer using second harmonic imaging. Aortic valve morphology and function were noted.
Aortic arch anomalies were determined from a 3D bSSFP diastolic-triggered and respiratory-gated non-contrast enhanced sequence [17, 24]. Aortic arch anomalies were diagnosed as 1) aortic coarctation when there was a shelf-like narrowing of the aortic lumen in the region of the aortic isthmus (Fig. 1d), and 2) elongated transverse aortic arch when the arch appeared elongated with a kink of the inferior curvature at the aortic isthmus. Echocardiography and CMR angiography were performed to define anomalies of the aortic valve and thoracic aorta , which included bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and elongated transverse aortic arch (ETA).
In addition, we have examined these Turner Syndrome women over a period of 10 years and have determined the rate of dilation of the aorta from t = 0 to t = 10 years at nine positions: (i) aortic sinuses (measuring cusp-to-opposing-cusp diameter at the point of the maximum aortic diameter in the aortic sinus); (ii) the sinotubular junction; (iii) mid-ascending aorta at the level of the inferior margin of right pulmonary artery; (iv) distal ascending aorta immediately proximal to brachiocephalic artery; (v) proximal aortic arch between the brachiocephalic and left carotid artery arteries; (vi) distal aortic arch immediately proximal to left subclavian artery; (vii) aortic isthmus immediately distal to the left subclavian artery; (viii) proximal descending aorta between the left pulmonary artery and the top of left atrium; and (ix) distal descending aorta at the most caudal border of the left atrium . These data have been added to the results.
Blood pressure and associated cardiovascular features (experiment 4)
Following experiment 2 and 3, 24 h ambulatory blood pressures were obtained with oscillometric measurements every 20 min (Spacelabs 90,217, Spacelabs Healthcare, Issaquah, Washington, USA). The cuff was placed on the left upper arm in all participants, and the cuff size was adjusted to the arm circumference. Fasting blood samples were drawn. Height, weight and medical history were recorded.
Statistical analysis was performed using Stata/IC 13.1 (StataCorp LP, College Station, Texas, USA). Normality was assessed by Q-Q plots of absolute or log-transformed values, and box-plots were scrutinized for outliers. Student’s independent t-test (given as mean ± SD or for transformed values, as geometric mean with confidence interval) or Mann–Whitney U-test (given as median with range) were used as appropriate. Repeated measurements were assessed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing the interaction between group (Turner Syndrome or control) and aortic position, reporting the Box’s conservative P-value. Assumptions were checked by Q-Q plot of the residuals, assessment of the covariance matrix, and assessment of sphericity. Comparisons of nominal variables were performed using the Fisher’s exact test. Bivariate correlations were assessed using Pearson’s coefficient of correlation. Explanatory models were constructed for aortic distensibility using multiple linear regression analyses. Independent variables were chosen from the bivariate correlation analyses of continuous variables. Independent variables were omitted from the models when p > 0.10. The contribution of each variable to the final model is stated as standardized coefficients (β). Assumptions behind the regression models were checked by Q-Q plots of the residuals, plotting residuals versus fitted, residuals versus each of the independent variables, box-plots, and leverage plots. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
The mean age for Turner Syndrome women was 47.5 years [29–66] of which 60% (n = 34) had 45,X monosomy and 40% (n = 23) were mosaics. Thirty-six healthy women, with a median age of 48.7 years [26–68; p = 0.9], served as controls (Table 1). Between-group differences were found for body mass index (BMI), body surface area (BSA), height, and night-time diastolic blood pressure (Table 1). Eleven women with Turner Syndrome had BAV (19%), eight (14%) had a repaired coarctation (CoA), and 26 (46%) had an ETA. Ten women with Turner Syndrome (18%) had type 2 diabetes, 28 (49%) were on antihypertensive treatment, and nine (16%) were treated with a statin. Mean plasma levels of high-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) did not differ between groups. Five controls (14%) were treated for hypertension and one (3%) received a statin. None in the control group had diabetes.
Pulse wave analysis, PWV and central blood pressure (experiment 1 and 4)
Central diastolic blood pressure and night-time diastolic blood pressure were significantly raised in Turner Syndrome (Table 1), and 24-h ambulatory diastolic blood pressure correlated with central diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.6, p = 0.0001. Figure 2) and heart rate adjusted Aix. The 24-h systolic blood pressure measurements revealed comparable day and night-time values in Turner Syndrome and controls. Heart rate adjusted Aix (Table 2) was higher in Turner Syndrome compared to controls (p ≤ 0.03) even when excluding women with CoA, whilst PWV was comparable (p = 0.6).
Aortic distensibility, rate of dilation of the aorta and aortic area (experiment 2 and 3)
The overall distensibility throughout the aorta differed between Turner Syndrome and controls (interaction between group and aortic position; p = 0.042). There was no site-specific difference in the ascending aorta and in the aortic arch, while aortic distensibility was reduced in the descending aorta in Turner Syndrome (p = 0.02) (Table 3, Fig. 3). Aortic distensibility was significantly lower in women with CoA (n = 8), both in the ascending aorta and descending aorta when compared to those without CoA (Table 3 and Additional file 1: Figure S1). Excluding women with CoA from the comparison of Turner Syndrome and controls left only a trend towards a lower distensibility at the descending aorta (p = 0.1; Table 3, Additional file 1: Figure S2). Turner Syndrome subgroups divided according to karyotype (p = 0.5), aortic valve morphology (p = 0.4) and the presence of an ETA (p = 0.5) were comparable for aortic distensibility, while Turner Syndrome with type 2 diabetes had significantly lower aortic distensibility at all sites (all p < 0.05), also when only studying patients with CoA in the ascending aorta and arch (all p < 0.05).
Associations between distensibility, blood pressure, rate of aortic diameter and other measures
Within the Turner Syndrome group, central systolic blood pressure (ascending: r = − 0.45, p = 0.002; descending: r = − 0.34, p = 0.03), CoA (r = − 0.30, P = 0.02; r = − 0.41, p = 0.0013), and Aix (r = − 0.35, P = 0.02; r = − 0.31, p = 0.04) correlated with distensibility in the ascending and descending aorta, respectively, whereas BMI, BSA and central diastolic blood pressure did not (all p > 0.6). Only central systolic blood pressure correlated significantly with distensibility in the aortic arch. Age was strongly correlated with aortic distensibility at all levels in both Turner Syndrome and controls (all p < 0.001). When including these significant variables in a multiple linear regression model of the descending aorta, only CoA and age remained significantly explanatory variables of distensibility (β = − 0.42, p = 0.001; Table 4), while only age remained a significant explanatory variable of distensibility at the level of the ascending aorta and the arch (β = − 0.52 and β = − 0.47, both p < 0.001).
In separate analyses, we assessed the association between distensibility and the rate of change in aortic diameter during 10 years follow-up at anatomically-linked predefined thoracic sites. Ascending aortic distensibility did not correlate with rate of change in aortic diameter at any of the nearby assessed sites. Arch distensibility correlated with rate of change in aortic diameter at the aortic isthmus immediately distal to the left subclavian artery (r = − 0.36, p = 0.01). Finally, descending aortic distensibility correlated with rate of change in aortic diameter at proximal aortic arch between the brachiocephalic and left carotid arteries (− 0.36, p = 0.03) (Table 5). Omitting all cases with CoA did not materially change these results (results not shown).
Mean aortic area was similar among Turner Syndrome and controls at the ascending and descending sites, while significantly smaller at the arch (Table 3). However, when adjusted for BSA, the mean areas was similar at all sites. Note, however, the much larger variation in area of the aorta at all studied sites among females with Turner Syndrome, with some having a clearly smaller area at all sites, while others had a much larger area at all sites (Table 3).
The principal findings of this study is a significantly reduced distensibility of the descending aorta, a higher Aix and increased central diastolic blood pressure in adult women with Turner Syndrome compared to sex- and age-matched controls. The principal determinants of the abnormal aortic wall properties in Turner Syndrome were CoA, presence of diabetes, central blood pressure, Aix and age, whereas other potential contributing factors such as a bicuspid aortic valve, BMI and BSA did not emerge as significant contributors.
Aortic distensibility is a measure of aortic elasticity, which is influenced by factors such as CoA and the grade of re-coarctation, systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes [20, 25, 26]. CoA was a principal source of significantly perturbed distensibility in the ascending and descending aorta in this cohort of adults with Turner Syndrome, which is in keeping with a previous study of CoA in individuals without Turner Syndrome that showed remodelling of the aorta with increased vascular stiffness [27, 28] and a study that showed reduced bioelastic properties of the thoracic aorta and also of left ventricular dysfunction after successful CoA repair in childhood . In our study, we also found an association between aortic distensibility and presence of diabetes and age . This supports the notion that CoA is part of a disease process spectrum that affects the entire thoracic aorta , and emphasises the need for comprehensive rather than focal aortic assessments in the diagnosis and surveillance of aortic disease in Turner Syndrome . It also points towards age as a modulating variable, as well as the presence of diabetes . Conclusively, when all comorbidity has been omitted, the young to middle-aged woman with Turner Syndrome may not necessarily have stiffening of the aortic wall, however the aorta of such a patient may still dilate due to pathophysiological mechanisms we are not yet aware of.
Even though aortic stiffness and carotid intima thickness possibly reflect two separate entities of vascular damage , the two parameters seem significantly correlated . We have previously shown that women with Turner Syndrome have abnormal carotid intima thickness and in this study we found reduced distensibility in Turner Syndrome women with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, one must consider whether abnormal vascular function in Turner Syndrome somehow both reflects an early atherosclerosis-type process combined with an aortopathy, associated to the presence of a CoA. On the longer term, greater arterial stiffness is associated with a higher incidence of atrial fibrillation . The increased arterial stiffness will also lead to reduced impedance mismatch between aorta and the carotid arteries, spurning remodelling of the cerebral arteries and decreased ability of the cerebral circulation to adapt to changing flow needs . This will increase the risk of ischemia, both acutely and chronically, as well as lacunar infarction and white matter lesions [38, 39], and thus these findings could be one among many other small steps towards the increased stroke risk seen in Turner Syndrome .
We have followed this cohort of Turner Syndrome females for a period of 10 years and assessed the rate of dilation during this period and included distensibility assessment at the latest examination. We found that higher distensibility in the aortic arch and in the descending aorta was related to lower rate of change at two different sites in the descending aorta, pointing towards an effect of normal distensibility in protecting the aortic wall properties, although clearly longer observation time with subsequent measurements of both distensibility, and other aortic wall properties, such as matrix remodeling and perhaps inflammation , as well as blood flow characteristics along the aorta, will be necessary to further examine these relations.
The reduced aortic distensibility in especially CoA affected Turner Syndrome extends the previous findings of abnormal aortic function in adolescents with Turner Syndrome [13, 41] and raises the question if impaired aortic stiffness precedes aortic dilation as in Marfan syndrome . This is particularly important with the currently used risk markers failing to accurately predict cases of aortic dissection . Interestingly, all other Turner Syndrome subgroups (BAV vs. tricuspid aortic valve, ETA vs. non-ETA, 45,X vs. mosaics) had comparable aortic distensibility to controls. Likewise, it is possible that the observed abnormalities of aortic distensibility are influenced by different blood flow profiles that has been demonstrated in Turner Syndrome, especially when BAV or CoA is present . Contrary to the present study, a recent study of Turner Syndrome women found reduced aortic distensibility when BAV was present, which may possibly be due differences in the Turner Syndrome populations studied . Here, we also show that the mean aortic area is similar or even slightly smaller (aortic arch) compared with controls, a difference that vanished after adjustment for BSA, but that the variability in aortic area is much larger, illustrated by the very wide range. This observation underscores the fact that the phenotypic spectrum of the aorta is larger among females with Turner Syndrome than among controls.
Smaller studies in children and young adults with Turner Syndrome previously showed increased PWV and a greater Aix compared to controls [45, 46]. The present study finds that adults with Turner Syndrome have a raised Aix but comparable PWV. A greater Aix indicates increased wave reflection from the periphery or earlier return of the reflected wave. Aix is inversely associated with height, and the lower height in Turner Syndrome compared to controls is an important contributor to the increased Aix observed in Turner Syndrome. Carotid-femoral PWV is an integrative measure that reflects the average arterial wall stiffness in the thoracic and abdominal aorta excluding the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the adjacent descending aorta. Our data are in line with previous studies [45, 46] in the observation that carotid-femoral PWV is comparable between Turner Syndrome and matched controls, suggesting that this part of the aorta is not affected in Turner Syndrome. However, CMR studies evaluating this are lacking. Hypertension is common in Turner Syndrome with a particularly high prevalence in adults (up to 50%) [7, 47,48,49]. Consistent with this, half of the women with Turner Syndrome in our study were treated for hypertension. This resulted in comparable systolic and mean arterial pressures in Turner Syndrome and controls, possibly diminishing any difference in PWV, although the cross-sectional nature of the study and other differences between Turner Syndrome and controls, such as frequency of diabetes, precludes any firm conclusions. Others have found that PWV is not correlated with diastolic blood pressure, but with systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure in hypertensive individuals . Medical intervention may reduce hypertensive wall stress and thus halt any age and disease related progressive perturbation in aortic wall properties . However, intervention studies in Turner Syndrome are lacking .
The central diastolic and night-time 24-h ambulatory diastolic blood pressures were elevated in Turner Syndrome, in line with previous findings . In addition to this, 24-h ambulatory diastolic blood pressure correlated well with central diastolic blood pressure. The increased diastolic pressure remains an enigma in Turner Syndrome, although it may related to the frequent left ventricular diastolic dysfunction often seen in Turner Syndrome . Since increased central and peripheral diastolic blood pressure are also associated with aortic dilatation in the normal population , diastolic hypertension should be a target for even more aggressive treatment in Turner Syndrome, aiming at halting aortic dilatation, perhaps helping to make prophylactic aortic surgery a less frequently implemented intervention in TS.
The SphygmoCor device uses a generalized transfer function to derive central blood pressure from radial tonometry data. The algorithm used may not be valid in patients with abnormal arterial function such as CoA. Therefore, all calculations were done with and without the individuals with CoA, without resulting in significant change. The methodology of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity measures the mean velocity of the pulse wave in the thoracic and abdominal aorta and iliac arteries to the femoral artery. The PWV in the aortic arch is not evaluated by this method. Hence, the carotid-femoral PWV and the aortic arch distensibility as evaluated by CMR are complementary. It would also have been advantageous to have compared PWV by SphygmoCor with PWV determined by phase contrast CMR, and in this way we could have determined regional alterations in blood flow dynamics. We plan to do this in future studies. A proportion of the study cohort, especially among females with Turner Syndrome, was being treated for conditions such as hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia. This could potentially influence the results. However, it would be unethical to investigate a similar group of people without treatment, and the fact that these women were receiving their usual treatment makes this study a reflection of a real-life outpatient clinic cohort.
Adult Turner Syndrome females have impaired aortic wall function of the ascending and descending aorta, with reduced aortic distensibility among those with CoA, and higher central and peripheral night-time diastolic blood pressures as well, along with an elevated Aix. The principal determinant of the abnormal aortic wall function was the presence of type 2 diabetes, CoA and age. Measurement of aortic distensibility is a promising tool in future clinical care of Turner Syndrome in the prediction of cardiovascular events.

Seasonal Pest Activity:
Understanding Seasonal Pest Activity will allow you to have a proactive approach to pests rather than a reactive one
Different pest species will be active during the different seasons of the year. Some prefer the warmer months due to having a better environment to breed in and of course feed and others are likely to be more active in your home or business during the colder months.
Taking the above into account, it is prudent to have an understanding of what pest is likely to be active within a commercial or residential property during the UK seasons. This then allows for a proactive approach to pest control which is potentially more cost-effective than having a reactive approach.
Below is an example of the pests that will be active during the different months of the year:
January to February:
These two months are traditionally the coldest in the UK and when the temperature drops. During this period, mice and rats will always look for the more readily available food source and a warmer environment, so it is very common for businesses and residential properties to report rodent activity. Taking this into account, it is vital to ensure that waste bins are emptied regularly, food items not stored in areas that will attract rodent activity and any potential rodent access points are rodent proofed. Please click here for expert advice relating to rodents.
We must appreciate that even though these months are colder, heating systems will be fully on and this also can encourage some insect pest activity.
March/April is when the temperature normally warms up and we start to see breeding cycles commence.
Most birds will look to start nesting due to the warmer weather. The most common pest within the bird family is the Feral Pigeon. This bird will look to nest anywhere where the female feels she and the nest will be safe. This can be on your balcony, in your loft, on top of a downpipe hopper, a discreet void, under your solar panels, pretty much anywhere that is safe. Please click here for expert advice relating to pest birds.
Textile pests are always a nuisance and one of the most prevalent that starts to be active around this month is the Common Clothes Moth. The larvae of this moth is extremely destructive to carpets and clothes and it is important to control this moth initially, followed with an ongoing form of monitoring and control. Please click here for expert advice relating to Textile pests.
We have also just started to see active Garden Ants so it is important to ensure that sweet items are not left out indoors as sweet items will attract the Garden Ant into your property.
Squirrels will be nesting now, as well as in July, so please ensure that there are no squirrel access points into your loft space.
April and May
We are already seeing higher levels of active wasps and these will be the Queen wasps looking to start their nests. Please do check you lofts for any early activity or contact BioPest for expert advice and support. Please click here for expert advice relating to the Common Wasp
More insect pests will be emerging with the start of House Flies. With all forms of fly, it is always good to find the source of the activity as removing the source will support the reduction in the active flies.
Common Clothes Moth will be increasing in activity as will Garden Ants and there will be usual levels of activity from foraging rodents. We will also see the first breeding period of the Varied Carpet Beetle.
With the temperature increasing these two months we can still see all insect pests active. Fleas are always a concern when the weather is warmer so please do ensure that your cats are properly treated with flea prevention solutions. Wasps, House Flies and Garden Ants will continue to be active.
July and August:
We will really start to see an increase in Garden Ant activity, Wasps, False Widow Spider and House Flies. Last year we had many reports of False Widow Spiders and this was due to the much warmer weather we had from March onwards (apart from the non-stop rain in August 2017). This encouraged the breeding of the flies which in turn created hot spot feeding areas for the False Window Spider. Many of our call outs were for bin storage rooms where residential blocks store their household waste. The flies were able to feed and breed in this area, thus encouraging the spiders to feed as well on the increased fly levels.
Keep food covered up and do not leave sweet items out as these will encourage the wasps and ants.
This is probably the most active months for the wasps. Towards the end of September the nests are at maximum capacity, with lots of adults and few larvae. This means that there will be lots of wasps visible but also affects what food they look for. While the adults feed on nectar the larvae are fed on insects. When feeding larvae, adults obtain a small, sugar rich droplet of liquid from the young. With fewer larvae the adults don’t need to look for as much protein but do need more sugars and carbohydrates. It is because of this need for carbohydrates that wasps might go for your crisps rather than your jam this month.
You will also see the Garden Spider with its web spun across shrubs and in walkways. This spider will remain active until the start of the cold weather period.
With the onset of autumn and the cooler temperatures, insects will start to slow down. However, we do sometimes have hot weather in October so we can still see textiles pests and other flying insects. Wasps will still be active as it is the temperature that will determine how long this pest hangs around for.
Spiders will still be very active locally and if the temperatures does drop, then you need to be aware that Feral Pigeons will be looking for areas to stay warm for the winter period. Mice and rats will potentially be venturing inside for warmth and a more readily available food source as well.
This is the month when the wasp activity should end, although we have had to treat nests at this time of year before.
Pigeons and rodents will really be looking at areas where they can live in to stay warm during the colder months. Don’t let this be your property of business. Contact BioPest for support and expert advice and click here for support regarding mice and rats.
If the weather has been warmer we can sometimes see a 2nd breeding period for the Varied Carpet Beetle.
This month is the start of a busy seasonal period and what we often find is that where additional food is purchased and stored in a different location, this often attracts rodents to this area for the food. Last year we had our highest ever level of call outs during and just after Christmas where residents and businesses had been away and shut down.
Residents were coming home after visiting family and friends and finding food items nibbled and droppings in the kitchen area. Businesses were also coming back after their festive shut downs in December and January to find rodents had been active within their commercial sites, due to food being left on site during their shut downs.
Key to avoiding this is to ensure that all food items are disposed of prior to the office shut or placed in sealed metal of plastic containers.

The New Jersey product liability attorneys at Breslin and Breslin are reporting that SM Fish Corp. has recalled eight-ounce containers of Ossie’s Herring in Sourcream and Ossie’s Pickled Lox Dairy because of undeclared milk, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said this week.
The company also recalled eight-ounce containers of Ossie’s Pickled Lox & Cream because of undeclared eggs, the FDA said in a separate announcement.
No illnesses were reported as of the time of the FDA announcements on Wednesday, but people with a milk or egg allergy are at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they eat the products, the FDA said.
The products were distributed in New York and New Jersey retail stores and were packed in clear, plastic containers.
The herring has a UPC code of 739885114174 and the lox dairy product has a UPC code of 739885114136; they have an expiration date of 06/08/15. The lox and cream product has a UPC code of 739885104113 and an expiration date of 06/04/15.
A temporary breakdown in the company’s packaging processes caused the containers to not list the sub-ingredients of the sour cream and mayonnaise used in the products, the FDA said.
If you or a loved one suffered injuries as a result of ingesting an improperly labeled food product, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Eligible parties may be able to recover a monetary reward for lost wages, the cost of medical bills and pain and suffering, and other damages. To learn more, contact the trusted and experienced New Jersey product liability attorneys at Breslin and Breslin today.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet will be presenting her Oral Update on Sri Lanka withdrawing its co-sponsorship of Resolution 40/1 of March 2019 on ‘Promoting reconciliation, accountability and human rights in Sri Lanka’, which also incorporates and builds on preceding Resolutions 30/1 of October 2015 and 34/1 of March 2017.
Minister Gunawardena will respond to the Oral Update on Sri Lanka by the High Commissioner today (27).
He will meet then High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet tomorrow (28).
Foreign Minister Dinesh Gunawardena, addressing the 43rd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva yesterday (26), had formally informed the Council Members of Sri Lanka’s decision to withdraw the co-sponsorship of resolution.
The Minister has stated that the commitments of the resolution bound the country to carry out an experiment which was impractical, unconstitutional and undeliverable.
He stated that it remains, to date, a blot on the sovereignty and the dignity of the people of Sri Lanka.
In co-sponsoring resolution 30/1, the previous government violated all democratic principles of governance declared support even before the draft text was presented, Gunawardena has pointed out.
He has said that, with cabinet approval to deliver the dictates of an international body, there was no reference to parliament on the process of undertaking and repercussions of such co-sponsorship.

The first British Ebola patient, a 29-year-old male nurse named as William Pooley, has been treated with the experimental drug ZMapp in a London hospital.
"We have had the opportunity to give him the ZMapp treatment that I am sure you are aware of," Dr Michael Jacobs, clinical leader in infectious diseases at Royal Free Hospital, told Sky News. "It is an experimental medicine, we made that absolutely clear in our discussions with him."
He added: "What has become apparent to us is that he is clearly a rather resilient and remarkable young man."
The patient was evacuated back to London Sunday night, after he had been diagnosed with the Ebola virus disease in Sierra Leone, where he volunteered to care for Ebola patients. Pooley has begun his treatment at the high level isolation unit (HLIU) after arriving at the hospital.
There are various facilities in the HLIU, including a specific entrance for the patient, autoclaves which decontaminate waste and a dedicated laboratory for carrying out tests. All the air leaving the unit is cleaned so there is no risk to anyone at the hospital, according to the hospital.
ZMapp has been used on two American Ebola patients, who have already recovered and discharged from hospital. Experts, however, warned that it's still unclear if their recovery is due to the ZMapp treatment.
According to the World Health Organization, so far there have been 2, 615 cases and 1,427 deaths reported in West Africa.

Manufacturing audits are a cost-effective and comprehensive way to ensure vendors are reliable. A buyer may be working with a supplier for the first time or may be reassessing one of their current Chinese manufacturing partners.
Supplier evaluations include a variety of benchmarks offering companies insight into China factories’ management practices. Before placing an order buyers should learn why manufacturing audits can prevent serious and costly mistakes.
Verifying a Suppliers’ Legitimacy
Working with Chinese manufacturing companies comes with certain risks. Factory audits can mitigate or eliminate those risks. It’s impossible to verify an overseas supplier’s claims without prior industry experience. Utilizing audit feedback ensures the vendor has the necessary licenses and certifications required.
Confirming a Supplier’s Production Skills
Manufacturing audits allow for an “inside look” at manufacturing in China without the time and expense of traveling there. The auditor verifies the vendor’s machinery to verify the factory’s capacity and ability to produce the product. The audit can also verify the factory actually does have the experience to perform the manufacturing processes required. What percentage of the product will subcontractors be responsible for? Are they qualified? Even though elements of production may very well be subcontracted the buyer needs to know where and how the product is being manufactured.
Verifying a Factory’s Storage Capacity and Organizational Skills
In-depth supplier evaluations are used not only to confirm a Chinese manufacturer’s ability to meet the vendor’s claimed production lead times but also verify the size and condition of the factory’s storage facilities. Chinese manufacturing audits can be used to reveal and better understand suppliers’ management structures as well.
Authenticating Quality Management Systems
The results of an audit’s quality assurance assessment should confirm a factory’s methodology in ensuring a product’s final quality. The auditor will confirm details such as how the buyer’s specifications are considered and adhered to, how goods are handled during production, and methods used to calibrate machinery to best ensure long-term quality control. Quality indicators at every level of the organization can be designed to ensure all critical details are addressed.
Ensuring Social Accountability
Manufacturing audits also provide a comprehensive review of overseas factories to ensure all administrative documents follow local regulations. According to the SA 8000 standard an auditor can review human resource records as well as interview workers to gain additional insight into the factory’s true working environment. Overseas buyers then receive written verification and can therefore be confident their supplier’s facilities are clean and safe for workers.
Chinese manufacturing, as well as manufacturing anywhere in the world, inherently involves risk. Many companies have partnered successfully with ITI Manufacturing to manage those risks. ITI performs its own audit based on your product’s specifications as well as your company’s requirements, needs, and practices. A factory’s demonstrated ability to manufacture a product is only part of the equation.
Call us at (281) 242-7030 today to learn about American Guaranteed China Manufacturing.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • When a single mom becomes an empty nester, she spreads her wings to rediscover herself—and her passions—in this heartwarming novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. Jenna Boltz’s life is at a crossroads. After a messy divorce from her surgeon husband nearly twenty years ago, she raised her two children on her own, juggling motherhood with her beloved job as a Seattle intensive-care nurse. Now that Paul and Allie have gone to college and moved out, Jenna can’t help but wonder what her future holds.
Her best friend, Maureen, is excited for Jenna’s newfound independence. Now is the perfect time to finally book the trip to Paris they’ve been dreaming of since their college days. But when it comes to life’s other great adventure—dating—Jenna still isn’t sure she’s ready to let love in . . . until an unexpected encounter begins to change her mind.
When Jenna’s elderly mother breaks her hip, Dr. Rowan Lancaster saves the day. Despite his silent, stoic exterior, Rowan is immediately smitten with Jenna. And even though Jenna is hesitant about becoming involved with another surgeon, she has to admit that she’s more than a little intrigued. But when Jenna’s children approach her with shocking news, she realizes that she needs to have faith in love and embrace the unexpected—before the life she has always dreamed of passes her by.
*Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC of this novel. All reviews are my own honest opinions of this selection.*
I have been a fan of Debbie Macomber every since I picked up my first Cedar Cove story. I was very excited to get a chance to receive this ARC for review purposes. I honestly really, really enjoyed this book. The writing is engaging, the story flows so smoothly, and I can relate to the Jenna character more than I would like to admit in certain aspects. The friendship that Maureen and Jenna have is one of the most important relationships in this book. They have each other's back through all the ups and downs life has thrown at them including learning to let their guards down and believe in love again. They each finally meet a man worth taking a chance on after being single moms for so long, Jenna struggles the most because she had a horrible husband and so the emotional baggage she carries with her always gets in the way. I don't want to go into too much detail and drop some spoilers but by the end of the book everyone has the HEA. I especially enjoyed the final chapter which is set 5 years in the future. Such a great idea!
The only thing that prevented me from giving this a 5 star rating is that from time to time I actually found the Jenna and Allie characters a little bit annoying in how they respond to each other and various situations.

My 8 yo daughter is old enough to read the slogans on the Wicked Camper vans we see around Byron Bay when we go there on holidays. We’re there a couple of times a year and I’ve seen dozens of these repugnant things being driven by budget travellers and backpackers.
Thankfully, we’ve never sat behind one in traffic or she’s never been interested enough to notice the vile things proudly scrawled all over them.
Vile things like this:
Or maybe she has seen them and she just hasn’t said anything. Maybe she just digested what she read in the same way our kids digest all the messages that come at them from the media. Maybe she just read slogans like this and they silently embedded themselves into her understanding of what the world thinks of women:
Sometimes I feel like I am human shield, standing in front of my daughter, trying to protect her from the tsunami of screwed up images and ideas coming at her about what it means to be a woman and a girl.
They’re coming from everywhere. The media. Music videos. Instagram selfies of bums and boobs and thigh gaps and pouty preening. Of course there’s a spectrum to how messed up these messages are on a scale of ugh to WTF.
At one end there’s objectification and the way the media and social media relentlessly hammers home the message that a woman’s value lies solely in her appearance and her weight.
A visit to the supermarket any day of the week and we are constantly faced with covers like this at the checkout:
What is this teaching her about pregnancy and motherhood? That the most important thing about having a baby, your absolute top priority must be to look good in a bikini. Forget the baby. Forget being happy. Looking hot is everything.
Then there are images like this:
What does this teach her about aging? About the value of a woman’s life? That even when you’re a grandmother with a decades long successful career, the most important thing is looking hot in a bikini.
At the more extreme end of the negative media spectrum are the putrid misogyny ‘jokes’ on the side of Wicked Camper vans. Misogny masquerading as humour is among the worst kind because it mocks those who object to it with a, “Come on, can’t you take a joke?” response.

‘Pride Goeth before a Crock Pot Fall’
by More.com Editors
The Mediocre Mom is still mediocre. I have plenty of material; even though, there are no blogs to prove it. I’ve just become a mediocre blogger, too.
But it’s time for that to change. Thanks to a falling crock pot, I have now returned to prose.
Here’s what happened …
On a recent school morning, I paused in the chaos of herding the kids from the house to the school bus. I paused because I felt it necessary to praise myself.
I got everyone’s attention as I stood in the middle of the kitchen and announced that weeks into the school year I was still successfully packing two school lunches every day. Not one cafeteria meal had been purchased. Not one lunch had been forgotten. Not once did I lack the food necessary for two complete meals.
I ordered my family to give me a round of applause, which they did – only to get things moving again. So off we went, my back proudly patted and my kids to the school bus.
Upon my return from the bus stop, I stepped onto my stage for an encore performance. I would wow my audience, The Mediocre Dad, by starting dinner. That’s right – dinner. At 7:15 a.m.
You see, I had been doing so well that I even had all the fixings in my fridge for a crock pot dinner. Yeah, damn well.
I pulled out my ingredients and dragged a chair across the kitchen floor. The crock pot is stored on the top shelf of my pantry, and I needed a boost.
Unbeknownst to me, the crock pot’s cord had become entangled with its neighbor, another crock pot. (Yes, even in cooking I take the easy way out. Don’t judge me.)
So I got not one, but two crock pots in a single yank. They both crashed down, bouncing off my shoulder along the way. One shattered. The other proved more durable. But the largest shard of all was my ego, which The Mediocre Dad was now sweeping into a dust pan.
I stepped down from the chair and my pedestal all at the same time. Pride goeth before a crock pot fall.
What kind of mother brags about feeding her children? What kind of mother thinks she’s all that for simply having dinner ingredients in the house? What kind of mother feels these are such incredible accomplishments that they necessitate a pronouncement and resounding applause?
A Mediocre Mom, that’s who. And that’s who I still am.

Have you ever found yourself stuck between the proverbial rock and hard place? You are eager to step out in faith and confident that you are ready to embark on this wonderful next chapter of your life. Feeding a creative impulse or stoking that internal fire that is propelling you towards running that 5K race, journeying to an Ashram or other endeavor can be daunting, especially if you find yourself on this path alone.
This weekend is the NYC 2015 Blogher Convention. On an impulse I registered for this event. I am new to blogging but not new to writing. I’ve been a writer, editor, and consummate red pen aficionado for as long as I can reminder. For the past year, I’ve intensified my passion and commitment to writing by blogging. I am amazed by the outpouring of words, memories and ideas that continue to percolate just below the surface. Childhood memories deeply buried in the recesses of my mind have come to light and I am so grateful. I’ve been able to share so many of my childhood experiences with my children and extended family and they’ve reveled with delight by their ability to witness my early years, parents and friends through my eyes. What an unforeseen benefit and blessing of blogging.
I have great expectations by attending this new vista of possibilities this weekend. The agenda is chock full of amazing speakers, gifted bloggers, sponsors from every genre, and a diverse group of attendees. The road map to success is there. The thought of meeting new and experienced bloggers is both exciting and stimulating. I feel as if I am on the precipice of a new and exciting adventure, an adventure I can’t wait to embrace. Wish me luck. I’ll let you know what happens.

If thou art privy to thy country's fate,
Which, happily, foreknowing may avoid, O, speak! ---Hamlet.
Quick! Someone get in touch with the editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, Dick Metcalf, and let him know that "happily" as used in the early 17 century by William Shakespeare does not mean "happy" but "perhaps." And perhaps (happily) Mr. Metcalf won't make the same ridiculous error again when he completely misinterpreted the 18th century meaning of "Well regulated militia" in the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to mean government regulations as a justification to call for gun control.

KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTING —- FIFA has welcomed action by police in Rio de Janeiro against a World Cup tickets racket which may have profiteering links all the way back to the 2002 finals.
Police and public affairs sources said that 11 individuals had been arrested on suspicion of ticketing offences, conspiracy to defraud and money-laundering.
Delia Fischer, spokesperson for the world federation, told a media briefing: “FIFA has been actively assisting the local authorities and their ticketing enforcement arm with their work since 2012 when the [World Cup] ticketing [sales] operation was launched and is very happy that the Brazilian police is taking action over illegal sales.”
Local media reports alleged that members of the Argentinian, Brazilian and Spanish delegations were suspected of involvement.
All major events in sport and entertainment are assailed by ticket touting and fraud attacks. In the past senior members of the FIFA executive committee, notably Ismail Bhamjee (Botswana) and Jack Warner (Trinidad, CONCACAF) have been subject to disciplinary action over illicit ticket activities.
Hence, and in particular after the last stormy few years, FIFA is extremely sensitive to such allegations against highly-placed officials of the ‘football family.’
This week’s raids by the civil police and Rio Ministry of Public Affairs led to the arrest of 11 individuals. They included a Sao Paulo lawyer, a member of the military police and a man identified as Mohamadou Lamine Fofana, described as a 57-year-old French-Algerian. He was said to live in Dubai and to have an office in Switzerland.
Phone taps had traced a significant number of calls from Fofana both to Zurich (where FIFA is headquartered) and to the Brazilian World Cup squad’s training camp at Teresopolis. Others calls tapped included those some to well-known agents and former players
A Ministry spokesman said: “We gave evidence that some national team delegations passed on tickets. We have a deposition from one person saying he worked for these three selecoes (ie Argentina, Brazil and Spain).”
This particular gang had been operating, it is thought, ever since the 2002 World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea.
Tickets from various categories were being quotedresold at prices significantly above face value at €1,000 plus. The ring was quoting a lowest price of €12,000 for a ticket for the final. Police estimated the potential profit on planned ticket dealing at £70m.
Each delegation receives 700 ticket for its own matches while the Brazilian confederation was contracted to receive a total of 30,000 tickets for the tournament as host.
Official resale system
Ticket purchasers who are unable to use their allocation can sell them directly back in via the FIFA ticketing website. These are then put back on the market. Generally these have added up to a few thousand each day which have been snapped up at high speed.
FIFA stopped announcing daily numbers of re-sale tickets because they had generally gone before formal announcement of availability.
The world federation and the Brazilian local organising committee were not forewarned by the polioe in advance about the likelihood of raids and arrests.
Police said that a total of 111 individuals have been arrested in Rio on charges of ticket touting. Some 17 – including the latest 11 – were being detained on suspicion of serious criminal activity.
At the weekend two Americans and one Italian – named as Brian Jack Peters, Roy Richard Beard and Rafaella Cinti – were arrested for allegedly running a ticket touting operation out of a suite in the Hotel Merlin at Copacabana.
The Merlin is six blocks from the Copacabana Palace which hosts FIFA’s senior directors and officers.

Let’s talk tricks! One of my favorite aspects of St. Patrick’s day is all the fun tricks the leprechaun plays around the house. I like to do a little bit at a time to get the kids excited to trap that little bugger. Here are some of my favorites that are included in your March Box!
Leprechaun Note and Bottle of “Gold”
This one is great to leave in the trap after the leprechaun has got away! We don’t want to leave the kids empty handed so leave them this little glitter note with the chocolate gold coin for better luck next year! The little bottle of “gold” will be sure to please!
Shamrock Sticker Swap
This is a super fun way to leave little inconspicuous tricks around the house. Do one a day or do them all at once. The kids will be so surprised at the funny swaps marked with a special shamrock sticker.
Trick your kids with swapping places of household items ex: ketchup and shampoo. Place a sticker on both so they know the leprechaun did it. Close up all the toilet paper rolls with a shamrock sticker! Swap the cereal bags inside the box. Add a sticker to the outside of the box!
Green Water Surprise & Footprint Stencil
The leprechaun uses the potty? Yes! Sprinkle a little green kool aid in the toilets and add some painted footprints on the floor or seat for a special effect.
This one you can get creative with! Leave the marshmallows out the night before you plan your trick and arrange them in a shamrock shape, hide them all, or watch your plants grow marshmallows! Leprechaun magic!
Come to Life Googly Eye
This is one of my favorites. My kids don’t always spot them right away but when they do, they will catch the eyes staring back at them. So fun! You can add the eyes to pictures, candles, the toes of shoes, the coffee maker, the refrigerator and more! Have fun with this one and try not to give it away!
I like to do this one for the morning of St. Patrick’s day. Add the streamers to the outside of their door, the hallway, the front door, over the pantry door or anywhere they have to break through to get by!

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: CHAPTER 3
Since 1990, Meridian has experienced exponential growth, becoming the second largest city in Idaho and one of the top ten fastest growing cities in the nation. Due to the desirability of the area, population growth will continue. Over the last 20 years, property in and around Meridian has changed from primarily agricultural and single-family residential to include a more diverse mix of residential types and commercial and industrial uses. That trend will continue as land traditionally used for agriculture develops at urban intensities. However, the foremost goals will remain to grow the city as a premier place to live, work, and play.
The Plan embraces Meridian as an Evolving Community by focusing on strategically planning for future growth. It provides new land use tools to ensure strategic and sustainable growth through the provision of services and infrastructure consistent with this Plan’s vision. Essential to community health is the promotion of responsible land use and growth by ensuring that development pays for itself and enhances the quality and character of the community. Reinventing key areas, supporting infill, and focusing growth in strategic areas support an efficient and high-quality development pattern that aligns with the availability and capacity of services and infrastructure.
As part of the Evolving Community Vision, the following elements are included in this chapter:
A community thoughtfully adapting to changes.
The Growth and Population element reinforces the City’s commitment to meet and protect the needs of existing residents and businesses in tandem with future population growth and land development. Policies in this section address how to plan for the redevelopment of properties already within the corporate boundaries of the City and its Area of City Impact, and guide growth to priority areas, all while protecting private property rights.
Understanding the implications of changing demographics and population projections enables a community to anticipate and effectively plan for future market conditions and how best to meet its residents’ future needs. COMPASS, the agency responsible for regional transportation planning, estimates that by 2040 the regional population total will exceed 1 million people. At the center of all this, very conservative estimates put Meridian’s population at over 160,000 people in the same time period. COMPASS updates these numbers yearly to reflect recent growth. As Meridian continues to grow and respond to development pressure, it is important to employ tools and planning protocols that guide responsible development and the expansion of public utilities and services.
The City of Meridian’s leaders and staff adopt and enforce policies and regulations that govern the City, in addition to applicable state and federal laws. Meridian is committed to authentic citizen engagement in government through participation on boards, commissions, and committees, as well as through public feedback as part of planning initiatives.
In accord with § 67-6526 of Idaho Code, unincorporated properties within the City’s Area of City Impact (AOCI) are governed by Ada County for day-to-day administration of zoning matters. However, there is an agreement between Ada County and Meridian for the Area of City Impact. This agreement states that the current Meridian Comprehensive Plan will apply within the City’s established AOCI.
Within the AOCI, the county has generally applied a Rural Urban Transition (RUT) zone which permits five-acre-lot, single-family residential development, as well as agricultural-related uses and a range of conditional uses. County development applications within the AOCI are reviewed by the City of Meridian for compliance with the comprehensive plan and applicable City policies.
The City of Meridian desires, over time, all development within its Area of City Impact to be served with urban services from the City of Meridian. Such services primarily include sanitary sewer, water, reclaimed water, fire, police, and parks. Secondarily, the City considers the availability and capacity of the school system, transportation facilities, libraries, and storm water facilities in any review of development within the AOCI. All requests for annexation into the City limits will require that the owner extend City-owned services at the time of development.
The importance of cooperating with Ada County and neighboring cities is imperative to successful long-term land use, transportation, and utility planning. There are very significant financial and quality-of-life implications for not doing so. As such, the City of Meridian is committed to fulfilling the terms of its Area of City Impact Agreement with Ada County and coordinating with adjacent service providers.
Meridian aims to guide growth in a way that efficiently expands infrastructure and services to support sustainable growth patterns. Targeting the right development and growing responsibly – in the right locations with the right services – is the foundation of the Evolving Community Vision.
Plans for specific areas, corridors, and infrastructure provide the next level of detail for implementation of the vision, including Urban Renewal Districts and Opportunity Zones. These following policies address utility and service expansion, transportation, quality development, fiscal impact, and compatibility with Meridian’s Unified Development Code, among other attributes the community values regarding growth and population.
The City of Meridian respects the rights of its citizens and their property, and is committed to counter negligence, abuse or devaluing of private property by others. Residents should feel their private property rights are respected and secure. See Appendix C for a checklist used in reviewing proposed regulations or actions to ensure compliance with private property rights.
For additional information, refer to the following resources:
The Future Land Use element emphasizes the importance of thoughtful and responsible land use planning, cooperation, and collaboration among the various jurisdictions and agencies in the area, and preservation and enhancements of the high quality of life that currently exists in Meridian. The policies in this section are graphically represented in the Future Land Use Map.
Planning in a deliberate manner, with an understanding of market, financial, and physical realities, can help foster a healthy balance of land uses and minimize uncertainty for officials, staff, residents, and others. Land use planning is an important tool in attracting and retaining the residents, businesses, and visitors that sustain the community’s economy and contribute to a city’s high quality of life. As such, it is important to continually evaluate what changes are needed to ensure that the community grows the way it desires.
The location and balance of land uses and densities should be efficient and sustainable; enhance community identity; support a multimodal transportation network; provide housing choices near jobs, schools, shops, and parks; minimize conflicts between incompatible uses; and integrate development with existing and planned infrastructure. See the Transportation element in the Connectivity Chapter of this Plan for more information on Transportation and Land Use Integration.
For additional information, refer to the following resources:
The transportation network plays an especially critical role in the location, types, and balance of land uses across the City. Two types of corridors that are particularly relevant to the land use policies are defined below. (See Chapter 6)[https://meridiancity.org/planning/compplan/connected] for more on transportation and land use integration.
Key Multimodal Corridors: These corridors have land uses with the potential to support future multimodal transportation, including transit.
Key Transportation Corridors: These corridors are important for regional connectivity and community identity, and may require special land use considerations.
Mapping future land uses is a key component of the Comprehensive Plan, so that development occurs in the direction and manner most desired by the community.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies the vision for a portfolio of land uses to implement the City’s many diverse goals and objectives, and works in conjunction with the text of the Comprehensive Plan, City Code and various policies of the City. In addition, the FLUM is closely aligned with ACHD’s Master Street Map (MSM). The MSM is the transportation equivalent of the City’s Future Land use Map and reflects a built-out collector and arterial street network. The FLUM is not a zoning map and differs in that the FLUM describes the character and type of use that is desired in the future and not necessarily what is currently in place. The FLUM depicts a built-out Meridian that is very diverse in residential densities, commercial and industrial land uses as well as civic/public opportunities.
Descriptions of the various future land use designations that appear on the FLUM are described on the following pages. The FLUM is shown in Appendix D.
All “future” symbols shown on the Future Land Use Map, such as parks, schools, fire and police stations, transit stations, etc., represent generalized locations based on the best information the City has to date. All such symbol locations are to be considered conceptual and not exact locations. All “existing” symbols shown on the Future Land Use Map for parks, schools, fire and police stations, etc. represent precise locations based on the facilities in place at the time of Plan adoption.
Future Land Use designations are not parcel specific. An adjacent, abutting designation, when appropriate and approved as part of a public hearing with a land development application, may be used. A designation may not be used however, across planned or existing collector or arterial roadways, must not be used on a parcel not directly abutting the designation, and may not apply to more than 50% of the land being developed. All other changes to designations must be approved through a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment. Sample zoning listed in the future land use designation descriptions does not preclude the use of other zoning districts provided the proposed project is consistent with the description of the land use designation.
The Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use descriptions and map work in tandem with the Plan’s policies to help direct development patterns citywide to achieve the #MyMeridian Vision. They determine the desired character of new development, range of densities allowed, and intensity and mix of uses.
The purpose of this designation is to provide for a variety of housing types and densities varying from large estate or semi-rural lots to multi-family homes. In all cases, urban services such as sewer, water, parks, and emergency services should be provided. Residential designations are described in following pages.
Within residential areas the following ideas and policies shall apply:
This designation allows for the development of single-family homes on large and estate lots at gross densities of three dwelling units or less per acre. These areas often transition between existing rural residential and urban properties. Developments need to respect agricultural heritage and resources, recognize view sheds and open spaces, and maintain or improve the overall atmosphere of the area. The use of open spaces, parks, trails, and other appropriate means should enhance the character of the area. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of additional public amenities such as a park, school, or land dedicated for public services.
This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of additional public amenities such as a park, school, or land dedicated for public services.
This designation allows for a mix of dwelling types including townhouses, condominiums, and apartments. Residential gross densities should range from eight to twelve dwelling units per acre. These areas are relatively compact within the context of larger neighborhoods and are typically located around or near mixed use commercial or employment areas to provide convenient access to services and jobs for residents. Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design and materials and thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place and should also incorporate connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping and a project identity.
This designation allows for the development of multi-family homes in areas where high levels of urban services are provided and where residential gross densities exceed twelve dwelling units per acre. Development might include duplexes, apartment buildings, townhouses, and other multi-unit structures. A desirable project would consider the placement of parking areas, fences, berms, and other landscaping features to serve as transitions between neighboring uses. These areas are compact within the context of larger neighborhoods and are typically located around or near mixed use commercial or employment areas to provide convenient access to services and jobs for residents. Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design and materials and thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place; they should incorporate connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping, gathering spaces and amenities, and a project identity.
This designation will provide a full range of commercial uses to serve area residents and visitors. Desired uses may include retail, restaurants, personal and professional services, and office uses, as well as appropriate public and quasi-public uses. Multi-family residential may be allowed in some cases, but should be careful to promote a high quality of life through thoughtful site design, connectivity, and amenities. Sample zoning include: C-N, C-C, and C-G.
This designation will provide opportunities for low-impact business areas. These uses would include professional offices, technology and resource centers; ancillary commercial uses may be considered (particularly within research and development centers or technological parks). Sample zoning include L-O.
This designation allows a range of uses that support industrial and commercial activities. Industrial uses may include warehouses, storage units, light manufacturing, flex, and incidental retail and offices uses. In some cases uses may include processing, manufacturing, warehouses, storage units, and industrial support activities. Sample zoning include: I-L and I-H.
This designation includes the historic downtown and the true community center. The boundary of the Old Town district predominantly follows Meridian’s historic plat boundaries. In several areas, both sides of a street were incorporated into the boundary to encourage similar uses and complimentary design of the facing houses and buildings. Sample uses include offices, retail and lodging, theatres, restaurants, and service retail for surrounding residents and visitors. A variety of residential uses are also envisioned and could include reuse of existing buildings, new construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses.
The City has developed specific architectural standards for Old Town and other traditional neighborhood areas. Pedestrian amenities are emphasized in Old Town via streetscape standards. Additional public and quasi-public amenities and outdoor gathering area are encouraged. Future planning in Old Town will be reviewed in accordance with Destination Downtown, a visioning document for redevelopment in Downtown Meridian. Please see Chapter 2 Premier Community for more information on Destination Downtown. Sample zoning include O-T.
In general, the purpose of this designation is to provide for a combination of compatible land uses within a close geographic area that allows for easily accessible and convenient services for residents and workers. The intent is to promote developments that offer functional and physical integration of land uses, to create and enhance neighborhood sense of place, and to allow developers a greater degree of design and use flexibility.
Uses can be mixed vertically, such as a building with retail on the ground floor and offices above, or horizontally, such as a healthcare center with a mix of doctor offices, pharmacy, beauty salon, assisted care facilities, and apartments. Mixed use areas tend to have higher floor area ratios (less area devoted to parking), open space, and interconnected vehicular and pedestrian networks. A Mixed Use designation is typically used to identify a key area within the City which is either infill in nature or situated in a highly visible or transitioning area where innovative and flexible designs are encouraged.
There are five sub-categories of the Mixed Use designation that are used throughout the City: Neighborhood, Community, Regional, Interchange, and Non-Residential. This section further describes the purpose, intent, and development standards for these sub-categories. In addition, there are three sub-categories of the Mixed Use designation that are solely used in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area: Commercial, Residential, and Lifestyle Center. Mixed Use designations in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area are different than those throughout the rest of the City and are not subject to this section. For detailed descriptions of the land use designations in the Ten Mile area, go directly to the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan.
For the purposes of the Mixed Use section, the City identifies five different land use types:
All development in Mixed Use areas fall within one of these five categories. Industrial uses are typically discouraged in residential mixed use areas. However, if the developer can demonstrate that industrial uses are compatible and appropriate in Mixed Use Regional (MU-R), Mixed Use Non-Residential (MU-NR), or Mixed Use Interchange (MU-I) areas, the City will consider industrial uses when proposed as part of a larger Mixed Use development.
In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in all Mixed Use areas:
The purpose of this designation is to assign areas where neighborhood-serving uses and dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to avoid predominantly single-use developments by incorporating a variety of uses. Land uses in these areas should be primarily residential with supporting non-residential services. Non-residential uses in these areas tend to be smaller scale and provide goods or services that people typically do not travel far for (approximately one mile) and need regularly. Employment opportunities for those living in the neighborhood are encouraged. Connectivity and access between the non-residential and residential land uses is particularly critical in MU-N areas. Tree-lined, narrow streets are encouraged. Developments are also encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-N plan depicted in Figure 3B.
In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-N areas:
Sample uses appropriate in MU-N areas include: alley-loaded single-family homes, townhouses, multi-family developments, neighborhood grocer, drug stores, coffee/sandwich/ice-cream shops, vertically integrated buildings, live-work spaces, dry cleaner/laundromat, salons/spas, daycares, neighborhood-scale professional offices, gift shops, schools, parks, churches, clubhouses, public uses, and other appropriate neighborhood-scale uses. Sample zoning include: R-8, R-15, TN-R, TN-C, L-O, and C-N.
The purpose of this designation is to allocate areas where community-serving uses and dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses, including residential, and to avoid mainly single-use and strip commercial type buildings. Non-residential buildings in these areas have a tendency to be larger than in Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU-N) areas, but not as large as in Mixed Use Regional (MU-R) areas. Goods and services in these areas tend to be of the variety that people will mainly travel by car to, but also walk or bike to (up to three or four miles). Employment opportunities for those living in and around the neighborhood are encouraged. Developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-C plan depicted in Figure 3C.
In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-C areas:
Sample uses appropriate in MU-C areas include: All MU-N categories, community grocer, clothing stores, garden centers, hardware stores, restaurants, banks, drive-thru facilities, auto service station, and retail shops, and other appropriate community-serving uses. Sample zoning include: R-15, R-40, TN-R, TN-C, C-C, and L-O.
The purpose of this designation is to provide a mix of employment, retail, and residential dwellings and public uses near major arterial intersections. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses together, including residential, and to avoid predominantly single use developments such as a regional retail center with only restaurants and other commercial uses. Developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. For example, an employment center should have supporting retail uses; a retail center should have supporting residential uses as well as supportive neighborhood and community services. The standards for the MU-R designation provide an incentive for larger public and quasi-public uses where they provide a meaningful and appropriate mix to the development. The developments are encouraged to be designed consistent with the conceptual MU-R plan depicted in Figure 3D.
In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-R areas:
Where the development proposes public and quasi-public uses to support the development, the developer may be eligible for additional area for retail development (beyond the allowed 50%), based on the ratios below:
Sample uses, appropriate in MU-R areas would include: All MU-N and MU-C categories, entertainment uses, major employment centers, clean industry, and other appropriate regional-serving most uses. Sample zoning include: R-15, R-40, TN-C, C-G, and M-E.
The purpose of this designation is to designate areas where new residential dwellings will not be permitted, as residential uses are not compatible with the planned and/or existing uses in these areas. For example, MU-NR areas are used near the City’s Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility and where there are heavy industrial or other hazardous operations that need to be buffered from residential. Developments are encouraged to be designed similar to the conceptual MU-NR plan depicted in Figure 3E.
In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-NR areas:
Sample uses, appropriate in MU-NR areas would include: employment centers, professional offices, flex buildings, warehousing, industry, storage facilities and retail, and other appropriate non-residential uses. Sample zoning include: C-C, C-G, L-O, M-E, H-E, I-L, and I-H.
The purpose of this designation is to call-out areas where construction of future SH-16 interchanges is likely to occur, and to acknowledge that this land will have a high degree of visibility. These areas will be served by highway interchange ramps and restricted local access. There are two interchange areas, one located at US 20-26 and one at Ustick Road, that differ from the other Mixed Use categories in that a much stronger emphasis will be placed upon gateway elements and traffic flow/trip generation factors when reviewing new land use applications. Uses in these areas will need to be compatible with the impacts of a freeway interchange. These areas are not intended for high volume uses such as retail. The intention is to protect the immediate vicinity of the interchange from traffic conflicts and shift the high traffic-generating uses away from the immediate vicinity of the interchange.
In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-I areas:
The City developed a specific plan for approximately 2,800 acres bordered (roughly) by Linder Road to the east; McDermott Road to the west: the Union Pacific Railroad line to the north and ½ mile south of Overland Road on the south. The specific area plan is an addendum to this Comprehensive Plan and places an emphasis on a mix of uses, both residential and commercial; new employment areas; higher density residential; a planned collector road network and design guidelines.
It is important to note that the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan (TMISAP) uses different land use designations than the rest of the FLUM. While there are some similarities, for example Low Density Residential, there are also new designations which do not exist outside of this Ten Mile area. The TMISAP was adopted as an addendum to the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan on June 19th, 2007 by Resolutions Numbers 07-563 (Map) and 07-564 (Text). Development in the Ten Mile Interchange area will also be reviewed using the TMISAP. See the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan for more details of this area.
The purpose of this designation is to preserve and protect existing and planned municipal, state, and federal lands for area residents and visitors. This category includes public lands, law enforcement facilities, post offices, fire stations, cemeteries, public utility sites, public parks, public schools, and other government owned sites within the Area of City Impact.
The purpose of this designation is to preserve and protect existing and future public neighborhood, community, regional, and urban parks. The park locations designated on the Future Land Use Map are the most current and should be used for planning purposes. Constructed parks are further described in the Existing Conditions Report Addendum.
The purpose of this designation is to provide areas throughout the Area of City Impact which provide educational opportunities, community gathering places, and green space.
The purpose of this designation is to preserve and protect existing and planned fire and police station locations throughout the Area of City Impact which provide efficient emergency response.
The City feels it is important to identify roadways that introduce and welcome both visitors and residents to the City of Meridian. These roadways are noted as entryway corridors on the FLUM and are subject to additional standards within the Unified Development Code.
The Transit Station designation is used for areas where transit supported uses are envisioned along the railroad and other predefined corridors Within areas around these symbols, the City seeks projects that incorporate features which enhance alternative transportation and are transit friendly. Said developments are envisioned within commercial activity centers and should incorporate the following development and design principles:
Utilities are the foundation to quality of life within cities. Clean drinking water, electricity, stormwater management, natural gas, telecommunications, and wastewater make city-living possible. Adequate, efficient, accessible, and affordable utilities contribute to attracting business, reducing the environmental footprint of urban development, and playing a vital role in social development. Public facilities discussed in this section include domestic water service, sewer collection, sewage treatment, and other independently operated utilities (such as power, natural gas, and communications). The Utilities Element works in concert with the Growth and Land Use Elements to ensure adequate infrastructure is in place to accommodate existing and future needs.
The City owns and operates its own domestic water and sewer services; however it relies on other entities for some of the other essential services. Therefore, coordination between the City and each service provider is vital in planning and prioritizing of expansion areas, and continued service to existing locations.
With the exception of a portion of north Meridian where SUEZ Water provides service, the City’s Public Works Department provides water to Meridian residents. In order to keep up with water demand, new wells and water line extensions are constructed and generally funded by new development.
With a vision for sustainability, Meridian works to conserve ground water and reduce discharge flows into the Boise River. As Meridian is located in an arid climate, using recycled water is a “drought-proof” water supply that reduces demand on municipal supply, frees up agricultural water for agricultural uses, and lowers effluent flow to the Boise River.
The City’s domestic water system is currently supported by a series of deep wells, booster pump stations, multiple reservoirs, and pipeline. In order to keep up with water demand, the City has constructed, on average, one new well per year, each funded by connection fees and charged to new development. Water line extensions to new developments are generally paid for and constructed by developers. Although the City plans new wells and reservoirs, the specific locations to those facilities are largely dictated by growth patterns, and will continue to be funded by new development. In a few small areas of the City, SUEZ provides water service to residents and businesses, and new development must coordinate this service with both the City of Meridian and with SUEZ.
The sewer (also known as wastewater) collection system in the City consists of pipe and lift (pump) stations. Sewage generally flows by gravity to the Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility located northwest of the Ten Mile/Ustick intersection. The Sewer Master Plan includes development of a computer model which helps Public Works staff identify priority areas for development in the City as well as segments of the existing sewage collection system that are approaching capacity. Future capital improvements are prioritized to upgrade the lines that are approaching capacity. The City will evaluate the need for additional expansion projects based on the Sewer Master Plan and model.
The Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) consists of primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment followed by disinfection. Treated effluent is discharged to Five Mile Creek. The City continues to upgrade the facility following its current Facility and 5 year Capital Improvement Plans. This facility is regulated by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Wastewater discharge permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
With a vision for sustainability, Meridian holds a Citywide Class A Recycled Water Permit. Recycled water is a highly treated water resource generated at the WRRF that meets standards for reuse, as established by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. The WRRF makes this recycled water available free of charge in supported areas.
Republic Services (Republic) is the solid waste and recycling collection contractor for the City of Meridian. Republic is dedicated to providing reliable and innovative recycling and waste reduction programs to the City. The City has established a Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) to help set steer a curbside recycling program and to advise the City Council on other solid waste issues. The SWAC works in conjunction with Republic staff. The SWAC focuses its attention on growing the solid waste and recycling programs and making them as user friendly as possible.
Meridian irrigation water is largely supplied by a series of canals and laterals diverted from the Boise River. There are many irrigation districts with operations in Meridian’s Area of City Impact, but the two largest affecting most of Meridian are the Settler’s Irrigation District and Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District (NMID).
Idaho Power Company provides electrical services throughout the City of Meridian and its Area of City Impact. Idaho Power is a public service company regulated by the Idaho Public Utility Commission (IPUC), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and the state regulatory commissions of Idaho and Oregon. Idaho Power’s long-range electrical plan for Meridian and the larger area is called the Eastern Treasure Valley Electrical Plan, which is listed in the adopted by reference section of this Plan.
Intermountain Gas Company is the sole provider of natural gas in southern Idaho, including Meridian. Meridian is serviced by dual, high pressure natural gas pipelines that bisect the southwest part of the Area of City Impact. These lines are an important consideration for any development adjacent to them.
Sparklight and CenturyLink provide landline phone and cable television agreements in the area. Sparklight (formerly CableOne) has a franchise agreement with the City for traditional cable T.V. services. There are also a number of other fiber and wireless providers which also offer telecommunication services.

According to the University of Wisconsin’s Office of the Gender and Women’s Studies Librarian, there are approximately 20 feminist presses in the U.S., and most of them are niche and/or micro presses. PW interviews with three of the largest of these presses found that their sales have surged in recent years and that they are feeling optimistic about the future.
Jisu Kim, who handles marketing, sales, and publicity for the Feminist Press, said that sales in 2017 were up 80% from 2015. The 48-year-old press is the oldest feminist publishing house in the U.S. and has had its offices on the CUNY campus in New York City since 1985. “Feminism as an idea has been on the rise even before the election,” Kim said, noting that while sales are up across the board, direct sales to individuals via its website, as well as at conferences, have done particularly well.
Kim attributed the sales increase to FP’s more aggressive marketing strategies, as well as to readers being more cognizant of its offerings. Its current bestsellers include The Crunk Feminist Collection by Brittney C. Cooper and a group of other African-American feminist bloggers, which has sold 5,500 copies since its publication in January 2017, and Radical Reproductive Justice by Loretta J. Ross et al., which was released last fall and has sold 2,000 copies to date. With the election, Kim said, debates over such issues as the intersections between feminism, class, race, and gender, have become more mainstream.
Another book that has sold well recently is The Iliac Crest by Cristina Rivera Garza. FP released the title, which had originally been published in Mexico in Spanish, in October 2017. The book, Kim said, “really resonated because of the controversies concerning Mexico and Mexicans” that erupted during the last presidential campaign. The Iliac Crest has sold 1,500 copies to date, “which is good, especially for a translated novel,” she added.

Let's face it, expert interrogators can and WILL get the information they want. There's no denying they have various means and methods for them at their disposal.
Waterboarding, electrocution, etc...are only the tip of the iceberg here. There are even more effective (dare I say, even sinister) ways of extracting information. As Freeier said earlier,...those that encounter a high-degree of success with these methods won't necessarily reveal how they do it.
I don't condone torture, but let's look at the reality of the situation and examine each case's merits differently. If it is required under exceptional circumstances then I am all for it, for the greater good and for eliminating further damage and loss of life.
I love that so many people like to paint a scenario as unlikely or off topic if it actually raises serious questions about that person's previously stated opinions. Why can some people present scenarios and others can't?
Mat and Claire, what should we do then? Nothing? Do we just assume any information gleamed from a terrorist will be rubbish and so not even try to find out what they know?
Hence the relative inefficiency of torture.

A Complete Beginner’s Guide to Discord Bots
Discord bots are are automated scripts that do a variety of things around your Discord server. They can help you moderate the server, keep track of important numbers, and even add a bit of fun or flair to your server.
There are so many Discord bots out there that it’s hard to figure out which ones you need really for your server.
MEE6 is the go-to Discord bot for moderation. It automatically detects swear words, spam, or other trigger words you set up. In addition, it has a plethora of commands for helping you moderate your discord server.
YAGPDB stands for “yet another general-purpose discord bot.” And it delivers on its name. It offers similar moderation to MEE6, but it’s not as “out of the box” ready as MEE6 is.
Nightbot is usually the first bot streamers turn to for help with Discord, and that’s mostly because it’s free. It has basic moderation functionality
Carlbot is another basic moderation discord bot. It’s not quite as good as MEE6 when it comes to moderation and ease of use, but it does offer one really great perk: automated roles.

Lincoln singing sensations The Cancer Fighters are back with a new charity single, penned by an award winning songwriter to the stars, in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.
The local group, who’ve all been through treatment for cancer or lost loved ones to the disease, have now launched their new single ‘We Are The Cancer Fighters’.
The song has been written for them and features pupils and the school choir from Heighington Millfield Primary Academy.
Proceeds from the song will be donated to Stand Up To Cancer – a joint fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4, which aims to help beat cancer sooner.
Launched in the UK in 2012, the campaign has already raised more than £25 million to fund translational research, which take developments in the lab and transforms them into brand new tests and treatments for cancer patients.
Staff at the Lincoln oncology unit also appear in the video, and Insonic, a local studio, donated facilities for free so the children could record their lines.
The song has been written by Bob Puzey, the Ivor Novello Award Winning songwriter.
Amelia Bailey, one of The Cancer Fighters, said: “I thought we should have our own song. I decided if you don’t ask, you don’t get. I contacted Bob Puzey and he said yes.
“Then I then asked if he could help with the recording studio and the video. He said yes again!”
Many of The Cancer Fighters have been through treatment for cancer, filming the music video saw them return to their old chemotherapy treatment centre.
Amelia added: “I felt very anxious before I went back but the nurses were all lovely and gave me a big hug.”

Potatoes are in!Back Posted On: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1ST, 2014
This year we’re using “Grow Bags” for our potatoes rather than planting directly in the ground. We’re short on space in our veggie patch and after years of hearing people talk about Grow Bags we figured it was time to give them a go.
Grow Bags are sturdy woven bags that production nurseries use when producing large sized plants. We purchased ours from Green Harvest and chose the 45 litre size so there will be plenty of room for the potatoes to develop.
We ordered seed potatoes, again from Green Harvest and chose two varieties not commonly seen in the supermarket: Kipfler and Nicola. Seed potatoes are simply smaller potatoes sold to be planted (not eaten) and are certified virus free. You can also use organic potatoes from the supermarket if you can’t find the seed ones.
Potatoes are hungry plants so we made up a mix of soil, compost, sugarcane mulch and manures and put down a 10cm thick layer in the base of the Grow Bags. Potatoes were then planted, covered lightly with more of the mix and then topped with sugarcane mulch.
Pretty quickly the potato shoots popped through the soil and are now about about 20cm high. At this height they’re ready to be partially buried in another layer of the soil mix. We’ll do this a couple of times until the bag is completely full. This might sound strange but it’s a neat trick to help you get more potatoes. As you bury the stems roots will form all along them and from there potatoes develop.
Why not give it a go yourself? Spring is the perfect time to grow potatoes and the Grow Bag method means they can be grown even in small spaces like balconies. Be sure to send us some pics as we’d love to see how you do.

Avant Tecno Husqvarna rider to take off from 16th and Red Bull Husqvarna Ajo man from 12th.
The starting grid for the Czech Republic Grand Prix was decided in a busy qualifying session held under unfavourable conditions. The Husqvarna riders improved their times from free practice. After the onset of rain and a red flag in order to fix an airfence, Danny Kent set a lap that will allow him to start tomorrow from the fourth row of the grid. His 2:08.560 lap put him twelfth, whilst teammate Niklas Ajo will start from sixteenth -row six- after clocking a 2:08.791 best.
The final practice session this morning was very helpful for the Husqvarna riders. With a dry track -albeit slightly cooler than yesterday- both Danny Kent and Niklas Ajo were able to improve their times from yesterday. The Red Bull Husqvarna Ajo rider managed a 6th position after a strong final lap of 2:08.605. The Avant Tecno Husqvarna Ajo rider set a 2:09.312, the 19th fastest time.
The qualifying session was one of the most hectic of the season so far. Eight minutes in, rain appeared intermittently, with the riders heading back to the pits on two occasions. After the track dried out, with 10 minutes remaining the red flag was shown to fix an airfence. Both Danny Kent and Niklas Ajo were able to go quicker in the final stages, with the Briton clocking a 2:08.560 best for 12th and the Finn a 2:08.791 for 16th.
The Czech Republic Grand Prix will take place tomorrow at 11am local time, and the Husqvarna riders will try to get up into the first group and take the maximum number of points possible.
Results – Qualifying practice
1. Alex Marquez (Honda) 2:07.691
2. Isaac Viñales (KTM) 2:07.914 +0.223
3. Niccolo Antonelli (KTM) 2:08.006 +0.315
4. Alex Rins (Honda) 2:08.051 +0.360
5. Miguel Oliveira (Mahindra) 2:08.095 +0.404
12. Danny Kent (Red Bull Husqvarna Ajo) 2:08.560 +0.869
16. Niklas Ajo (Avant Tecno Husqvarna Ajo) 2:08.791 +1.100
Niklas Ajo >> Audio (solely for radio use)
”I think we’ve improved a lot today compared to yesterday. We rode pretty much alone and that was a good thing. In the morning we took a small step forward but in the qualifying session we improved further. Everything was just better -both with the bike and with my riding. I tried to do my best. However, we were a bit unlucky as we had planned a strategy in the final minutes to help each other, but a rider made a small mistake when he was in front of me.
Tomorrow we will try to make a good start. At least there is a long straight, so we will try to overtake on the brakes in the early stages. It will be difficult to break away though, so we’ll just try our best.”
Danny Kent >> Audio (solely for radio use)
”The entire qualifying session was a bit chaotic, because of the rain and then the red flag, and we could not do too many laps. I did not manage to set a good time at the start and I got a little nervous, because I was 17th and it started to rain. It was only in the last 9 minutes that I managed to improve. Starting from 12th is not the best position for the race, but I feel pretty good ahead of tomorrow. We do not have a perfect feeling, but I think we can have a good race. It seems that Alex Marquez is quite strong and will try to break away from the group from the beginning, but we will have to wait and see how close we can be to him. It might be that there is a fairly large group that slows the race down.”

St Neots II 0 – 9 Newmarket I
Goal scorers – Matt Holden x 2, Mike Skelton, Josh Dawson, Mark Pears, Chris Leggett, Dave Worrall, Alex Andreou, Will Wilson.
Newmarket travelled for a local away game at St Neots, but road works on the A14 ensured they spent almost as much time in the car as some of the long away trips before Christmas. Captain Wilson demonstrating his customary poor time keeping skills missed the start time at started from the bench. Fortunately he had a full strength squad at his disposal and Ollie Wade slotted in at left back.
Having won the home game 13-2 Newmarket expected to dominate, but were wary of the lively centre forward who put St Neots in front during that game. Jordan Newnes did a fantastic job marshalling him from the back, restricting St Neots to one effort on target that was acrobatically saved by Chris Routs in goal.
Newmarket retained possession well with Chris Leggett and Alex Andreou spreading the ball wide form the middle of the pitch. Mike Skelton and Mark Pears were finding lots of space up front, With Josh Dawson and Matt Holden playing so high out wide the team was almost playing 2-4-4 rather than 4-4-2.
It was only a matter of time before Town took the lead, the ball was played into Skelton, who drew the man before playing Holden in, he finished emphatically into the roof of the net. Skelton soon added a second, taking a good first touch and firing the ball into the far corner on his reverse.
Wilson then rattled the bar from Pears pull back, with Andreou heading to South Africa in February to work on his tan, Simon Harrington was promoted up for short corner duties, unfortunately this proved no more productive than previous weeks, until the stroke of half time, when the ball was played square to Wilson, he drove the line and set Dawson up with a tap in. At half time Newmarket were only three goals to the good, but determined to add to their tally in the second half.
Early in the second half Mark Pears added a fourth, Skelton holding the ball up and putting Pears through to beat a defender and guide the ball into the far corner.
Ollie Wade turned provider for the next two goals, the first of which he squared the ball to Chris Leggett, who took a touch into the D and blasted it into the bottom right corner. For the sixth Wade ran down the left wing, beat the right back before picking out Holden whose first effort hit a foot on the line, the ball bounced back to him, the umpire played advantage and he scored at the second attempt.
Dave Worrall scored the seventh, his first hockey goal since 2003, collecting Wilson’s pass he beat 2 men before finishing above the on rushing keeper into the roof of the net. Alex Andreou added the eighth, majestically beating a couple of men, his effort was on target but took a cruel deflection of a defenders foot wrong footed the St Neots keeper.
Captain Wilson added the final goal, after a sustained period of pressure in the far right corner, Dawson and Skelton’s movement bamboozled the defence, allowing Worrall to pick our Leggett in midfield, he squared to Wilson who finished into the far corner.
Man of the match was Mike Skelton, for his movement and link up play. Dick of the day had a few contenders, the ever late Wilson, Ollie wade for missing an open goal from a yard sending a water bottle flying in the process. The winner was Simon Harrington for being outpaced by a man of more mature years with a healthy appetite.
Dave Worrall was so chuffed by scoring after 7 years travelling in Spain he invited everybody to his house to watch Harry Potter and eat Welsh rarebit. Next the team are at home to Spalding, they have moved up to third and another victory will go a long way to securing Newmarket’s promotion push. The game starts at 3:30 at Newmarket Leisure Centre, as always spectators are welcome.

It’s twenty-five years since John Rebus appeared on the scene, and five years since he retired. But 2012 sees his return in STANDING IN ANOTHER MAN’S GRAVE. Not only is Rebus as stubborn and anarchic as ever, but he finds himself in trouble with Rankin’s latest creation, Malcolm Fox of Edinburgh’s internal affairs unit. Added to which, Rebus may be about to derail the career of his ex-colleague Siobhan Clarke, while himself being permanently derailed by mob boss and old adversary Big Ger Cafferty. But all Rebus wants to do is discover the truth about a series of seemingly unconnected disappearances stretching back to the millennium. The problem being, no one else wants to go there – and that includes Rebus’s fellow officers. Not that any of that is going to stop Rebus. Not even when his own life and the careers of those around him are on the line.

Rick Franklin Corporation, which has been in business over 40 years, is a proud supporter of the Lebanon, Sweet Home, and Scio communities across many levels. RFC supports both educational and athletic activities for the local youth as well as various community events and sponsorships.
In 2018, RFC donated goods and services for the Lebanon High School Baseball and Softball Teams turf infields. RFC was recognized In March 2019 with a 12 x 12 granite tile at the Grand Opening & Donor Appreciation event for their generous donation. In addition to Lebanon High School, RFC donates to the Scio Youth Club, Lebanon Booster Club, and has previously provided practice space in a building for the LHS Cheerleading team.
Rick Franklin Corporation is also the number one supporter of the Linn County Youth Livestock Auction, purchasing beef and pork at the Linn County Fair for several years, which is then donated to employees and their families.
Since the Classroom to Careers Expo began through the Boys and Girls Club of the Greater Santiam three years ago, RFC has been a major supporter of the event. Albany & Eastern Railroad Company donates the space to hold the event at the Reload yard and both AERC and RFC also have trains, trucks, lowboys, and heavy equipment on site. This event helps students understand the variety of options available to them and are provided the opportunity for hands on demonstrations of RFC’s equipment. RFC and AERC staff participate in the planning and execution of the expo.
In December 2018, Rick Franklin Corporation, in conjunction with several other local businesses, played a vital role in constructing and placing a pedestrian bridge at Cheadle Lake. A 10-foot wide, 75-foot long walking bridge was donated to the Build Lebanon Trails group, with assistance from Dr. Thad Nelson. This bridge plays a key part in connecting the North Shore Trail with the West River Trail to allow walking access on the east side of the community.
RFC has made donations to the Scio Youth Club, East Linn Christian Academy, Safehaven Humane Society, and numerous events held by the Boys and Girls Clubs.
RFC’s most recent donation program has been the firewood donation project in conjunction with Tre Kennedy of the Lebanon Booster Club and Weyerhaeuser’s Santiam Lumber facility. RFC purchased a firewood cutting machine and processes lumber which is donated by Weyerhaeuser’s Santiam Lumber facility. Employees and subcontractors have spent over 300 hours cutting, stockpiling, and delivering firewood to residents. Residents wishing to purchase firewood contact Tre Kennedy who works with RFC to arrange for the firewood to be delivered. Those receiving firewood are then asked to donate to a non-profit organization of their choice.

When renting office space in this way you usually can equip to your specifications, mark your corporate identity in office space. Leases usually cover just the rent. With all the other extras were held separately.
Size and services
The floor area in the London office space is one of the most important factors to consider when renting an office. With rental prices are usually based on every square foot of leased space, it is important to make sure you get the right office size for your needs.
You may get in touch with tengrandstreet.com and get the right size of the office as per your requirements.
Depending on how you intend to use the office, it could be worth considering renting storage space for items such as shares. Instead of hiring additional meeting space will not be used every day, it could be worth looking to rent an office in a building that contains a meeting room that can be rented at the time and when basis, or just use a separate place for each meeting that needs to be done.
While you can save money by using storage and employs a separate meeting room, trying to squeeze as much as possible into the smallest space can be counterproductive.
Trying to work in cramped or crowded conditions are not always the most efficient way to work, and if the client is going to visit the office, they may not be impressed by the workplace apart. Likewise, something that is disproportionately too big could only make clients and employees question your judgment in choosing the right-sized office space.
Selecting a location
With offices in London, you usually get what you pay for and the location can be the biggest influence on the price. The more demand there is for a particular location, the more expensive office space will be. Get a good deal there should be a balance between choosing the right area and the size and quality of the accommodation.
Getting an office in London who has a good basic service and well maintained and cared for the building is much better than paying less for bad service and poor building serviced.

England thrashed by revitalised Kiwis in series dead rubber
England 0 New Zealand 34
England’s celebrations in lifting the Baskerville Shield for their series win were muted after New Zealand rediscovered their mojo in dominating the dead rubber at Elland Road.
After 18-16 and 20-16 victories at Hull and Anfield, Wayne Bennett’s side looked as if an overly-long season had finally caught up with them. Three tries correctly ruled out on video evidence compounded home frustrations as the clinical Kiwis made hay.
This was not the way Bennett wanted to sign off the international season, with Great Britain due to tour New Zealand and the South Seas next year and England unlikely to play again until Australia visit for a three-Test series in 2020.

Wow! What a shocker!
Coming from a nine-day holiday break, going to work yesterday was a big shock to my system. At just 3:00 p.m., I was so sleepy that I had to go to the food stalls to get a recharge.
So how was your first day at work after the Holy Week break?

After just 5 weeks with Slimthinkers I have lost a stone, without even ‘thinking’ about it! What I love about Slimthinkers is that you are *not* dieting, you are simply re-training your brain and your reflexes to avoid eating too much, or eating things that would be unhelpful in your weight loss. Unlike dieting, there are no feelings of deprivation and denial; you simply enjoy eating healthy foods and fuelling your body with the nutrition and hydration it needs. Having a very restrictive diet for medical reasons I always felt very deprived and abnormal, but as soon as I started the 21 Day programme all those feelings simply disappeared, and what had previously felt like restriction simply became just ‘how I eat and fuel my body’. For me, this is a breakthrough, and I finally know for sure that my goal is achievable and I *will* reach it, and maintain it. Paul has also been really supportive and helpful, giving me suggestions which have helped me to change other habits as well, and the advice I feel is really invaluable. Thank you so much, Mark and Paul!

PLEASE NOTE: These are instructions for a PC. If you are using a MAC things are a bit different – so follow the MAC instructions by: CLICKING HERE
1. Your GC350 / GC500 will play any sound files that are formatted as .MP3, .WAV or the encrypted .ICO files (that can be found at www.icotec.com)
2. On your computer, locate all of the files you plan to load on to the Gen 2 GC500 or GC350 and place them in a new folder and name it “Gen2 GC500 New Sounds” (Or use the name GC350 if Your ICOtec is a GC350).
3. You will then need to rename your files. Begin with 001 then add a space and then the call name. You have up to 21 characters total which includes the three digit number and the space.
If loading for a GC350, then the three digit number will determine which button the call plays on – so 001 Rabbit.mp3 would play on button, 019 Hare.mp3 would play on button 19 and so on. For the GC500, the numbers reflect the order in which the calls will be displayed on the remote.
Once you have renamed all of the files you are ready to copy them over to the Caller’s SD card.
4. Either use the provided USB cable to connect the Gen 2 GC500 or GC350 to your computer or remove the SD card from the caller and insert into the SD card reader of your computer. You will see an external drive appear on your computer screen. It will appear under the Computer Drives on a PC.
5. Open the drive and you will see the call files that were provided with your Gen 2 GC500 or GC350. These files are encrypted and cannot be shared or played on any other device. We recommend copying all of the provided calls to a “Gen 2 GC500 (or GC350) Back Up Folder” so you will not lose them if you accidently delete them from your unit.
6. Now that your NEW call files are named and numbered you will need to copy them to your GC500 or GC350 SD card. We recommend you purchase a new SD card for the new sound files and remove the disk that came with the unit to preserve the files should you decide to use them in the future.
7. If you are satisfied with the numbering order – copy all of the files on to the SD card.
8. When the files are finished copying you may select eject and unplug the unit from your computer. Place the SD card into the unit. For the GC350, no synchronisation is required.
9. For the GC500, you will need to “sync” the caller to your remote. To do this, first Switch the caller and remote on. Insert one end of the SYN cable into the port of your caller and then insert the other end of the SYNC cable into the port on the left side of the remote.
After a couple of seconds, the screen will show “Updating Sounds” – and above this, you will see the display scroll through the calls that are being added to the remote. Once all calls are added, the display will flash “OK” 10 times – and then return to your (now updated) call list.
Switch everything off – and unplug the cable. Power the remote and the base unit back up – and your remote and base unit should now be synced with each other.

George Mahoney obtained a defense verdict in a Labor Law case in Kings County Supreme Court on February 19, 2020 before the Hon Justice Bailey-Schiffman against plaintiff’s counsel Lawrence Biondi. The case involved a construction worker who claimed he tripped in an uncovered opening and due to poor lighting at the work site. The jurors found no violations of Labor Law 200 or 241(6) based on either Sec. 1.7 (e) (1) (tripping hazard) or 1-30 (illumination). The Court had reserved decision on a directed verdict motion by plaintiff on Industrial Code Section 1-7 (e) (1), but held prior to the jury receiving the case that, as a matter of law, the area was a passageway and the 3” – 6” hole was a tripping hazard. After the jury’s verdict the Court rendered a decision denying the motion. This verdict resulted in a substantial savings to all involved as the primary carrier had already offered their $2 million limits to settle the case, an offer plaintiff declined prior to the verdict. Plaintiff was 30 years old and had undergone multiple (5) surgeries and was alleging an inability to ever return to work. Please feel free to contact Mr. Mahoney directly if you have any questions regarding the case or verdict.

The pumpkin is ready when the fork is drilled smoothly on the outside, so you may need to add more minutes. Or, when you’re almost done, turn over, add a pinch of butter or brown sugar and finish.

Here’s my advice: put it in the microwave for about 3 minutes, then let it cool enough to process and cut. Softens the skin, making it easier to cut. Yes, cooking time increases by a few minutes, but if you don’t spare your fingers, it’s probably worth it.
Do you eat fried deep skin?

Not My President, Part 4 of 50: It’s Always Somebody Else’s Fault
Big Burden for Big Shoulders
The President of the United States is, at every moment in time since June 6, 1944, the most important and powerful person in the world. He also bears the most responsibility. He is more than just the titular head of the most powerful nation the world has ever seen. In that office resides the personification of human liberty on earth, the beacon to hearts of all men who would be free, the guardian and protector of freedom and virtue.
It certainly wears on a man, for it is a burden not suitable for common men or even strong men, but for great men. Some prove more equal to the task than others, but the 4 or 8 years in the office age the man visibly no matter how well he wears the mantle. It is the responsibility; the lack of sleep; the lack of any unaccountable leisure, privacy, or a moment when you can let down the mask, for 1461 consecutive days; the constant pull of people who want something from you, want to exploit their connection to you, or want to influence you; the weight of the entire world on your shoulders; the constant vigilance against foreign enemies; the burden of young soldiers who die under your command; the constant infighting both in-party and against the opposition party; the blame that falls your way, deserved or not; the knowledge that history will judge you, and you may have not done enough in the time you were given; the stress that your life and your choices put on your loved ones. It goes on and on, and I bet I don’t even know the 1/4 of it.
Real Men are Large and In Charge
We could talk about many qualities that make up the man and in these 50 articles, we’ll hit on most of them. But today I focus on this: the great president is large and in charge. He takes responsibility, takes ownership, for all that falls under his purview, both good and bad. He won’t have it any other way. The buck stops with that guy. All of that is true for many reasons, among them:
- adult alpha male instinct – the alpha male takes charge, calls the shots, runs things and controls people. He’s the bottom line, and he makes the final call.
- credit for success is politically important – when your action as a leader results in military success, an improved economy, or greater freedom, it’s not a given that you’ll get credit for it. The great president owns both the good and the bad, and can parlay the good into more political power for himself and his allies.
- leaders shield their own from undue blame – no leader can be called great who allows his underlings to twist in the wind, vulnerable to media and public shame, particularly when they have committed no fault. He fights valiantly to protect their honor — sometimes even when they are at fault. He will deflect blame onto himself to protect his person. That is what classy people do.
- accepting blame for what happened on your watch is a minimum requirement for an adult male of substance – whether it was actually something you could have stopped or not, or whether you were in fact guilty or not. He takes blame even when he knows better, then he picks up the burdens of his life and marches on.
Don’t miss that last point. Any grown-up responsible man of character instinctively directs blame to himself and away from others. He is slow and deliberate in throwing blame around. And here we are not talking about a great president; we are talking about an ordinary man.
Now against this backdrop, let us examine barack. Here’s a guy for whom it is not only not his fault, it has NEVER been his fault.Everything he does is noble and good. Everything his political opponents do is despicable and evil. He is unerringly smart and wise; his opponents and detractors are stupid, racist, and unpatriotic. His predecessors left him such an awful mess that even he — Superman, Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, and Doctor Zhivago all rolled into one adorable creation–is having trouble fixing it, after three years of heroic effort.
Not Me! – the List
And blame. My goodness. I’ll leave out my opinion of how much of the mess that is America is his fault. Let’s even stipulate (quite generously) that NONE of this mess is his fault. Even if that were true, did you ever hear of a guy so quick to blame others?

- Obama Blames Bush for Deficits, February 23rd, 2009; Obama delivering opening remarks at fiscal responsibility summit.

- Candidate Obama Blames Washington for High Gas Prices, April 25th, 2008; remarks of Senator Barack Obama, press availability on energy plan, 25 April 2008.
Not a Great President. Not Even a Competent Man
Actually, the list of “Obama blames” could go on all day. When barack is measured against the backdrop of the job requirements in the first paragraphs above, when stood up alongside men like Ronald Reagan, George Washington, and even John F Kennedy, it becomes perfectly clear.
It’s not just that he’s a pathetic president. He’s not even a competent man.
For the 4th of 50 reasons, he’s not my president.

Today is International Frugal Fun Day. When I think of frugal fun, I think of my childhood of bicycling down to the local pond and swimming in the muck filled water. Maybe not the tropical paradise of the azure blue Maldives lagoons, but on a blistering August day just as satisfying. The best part was the raft you swam out to for jumping, diving and just messing about. One and Only Reethi Rah might not be the most frugal resorts (quite the contrary, in fact), but it stills brings that retro-chic nostalgia of a swimming raft. A bit more opulently kitted out with a parasol, lounger and refreshment cabinet.

Since the year 2000, MOLISIA has further enrichen the Di Iorio family company, well known for their expertise in the production of soft drinks: in fact, from the beginning of the new millennium, it has been recognized as a mineral water of great decree by the Ministry of Health on the (24/11/2000).
MOLISIA could be described as the encounter of nature and tradition. The untouched natural source, streams from a spring, in an untouched natural setting, located in the heart of Molise. This location most importantly being where the love that has always tied the company to the region of Molise was created, which has now been operating for over 120 years.
The balance of mineral salts, and absence of nitrite, makes it the ideal water for a healthy and natural wellbeing. Microbiologically pure, low in sodium and nitrates, it increases digestion, and is even suitable for the preparation of artificial breast milk.
Commercially marketed since 2006, MOLISIA is bottled in an advanced technology factory, which ensures minimal environmental impact. The Factory is among the most modern in the industry, reaching a daily
production capacity of 1,500,000 bottles. The 20,000 square meter complex is in the heart of Molise, about 80 km from Termoli (CB) and 70 km from the A1 motorway. The high quality of the MOLISIA bottling process, guaranteed by the ISO 9001 certification - soon also ISO 14001 - provides constant monitoring of
each procedure and the complete traceability for each batch of product. If you want to know more, check the detailed description of the factory on the Di Iorio SPA site.
The mineral water MOLISIA emerges at an altitude of 850 metres above sea level, in an area known as S. Elena SANNITA (IS), which is close to an untouched reserve of great natural beauty. Due to this MOLISIA is segregated for its high purity and the total absence of environmental contamination.
Molisia contains a very low saline content and is incredibly light which makes the mineral water suitable for those who wish to lead a healthy life. The chemical-physical analysis is restricted, for obvious reasons being, the low content of sodium and nitrates.

Quarantine And Chill - The Impact of Coronavirus on Travel (Discoverdior)
Social distancing, or maintaining physical distance between yourself and others, can help slow the spread of COVID-19 within our communities. Need something to do. Here’s a great idea!!! (DiscoverDior)
JUST IN: Pres. Trump says he is considering domestic travel restrictions
"specifically from certain areas," after Pentagon restricted service members' domestic travel.
"If you don't have to travel I wouldn't do it... we want this thing to end." ABCNEWS
The quote suggests that Trump is considering announcing interstate travel ban tonight to fight coronavirus, but advisers trying to convince him against it due to constitutional concerns and fears it could hammer the economy.
“Domestic bookings began to weaken significantly only in the last two weeks, but since then the major airlines have suspended their earnings forecasts, announced deep cuts to service, eliminated most change fees, frozen hiring and put big spending plans on hold.
In this video by Malkam Dior, is when this Cardi B Corona Virus song hit Spotify -
“Our overarching goal during this time is cash preservation,” Ed Bastian, the chief executive of Delta Air Lines, said at the conference in New York.
After a steep decline in net new bookings, Delta said it would slash service by about 15 percent, with the largest cuts focused abroad. It said domestic service, which accounts for nearly three-fourths of its revenue, would be between 10 and 15 percent.” -
Dr. Anthony Fauci: “Travel restrictions have helped us prevent the spread of the virus.”
Here’s what people on social media are saying about Trump's travel ban causing worse case exposure at US airports. “If flyers weren’t exposed to COVID-19 before, they probably are now. From a public health perspective, this is malpractice,” health professionals said. “The lack of preparation and concern is unfathomable.”
Our conclusion is that even Mnuchin and Kudlow have told Trump that "people are staying home and practicing social distancing anyway, so the national travel ban would not be beneficial.". That's bullshit and they know it. They are afraid of economic consequences, guess what - DEAD PEOPLE DON'T BUY STUFF.

[Disclaimer: We have partnered with Painters to bring you this post. All opinions and photography are our own and are not influenced by Painters. Thank you for supporting the brands that help support this blog]
Now that Thanksgiving is officially behind us, it’s safe to blast that Christmas music, whip out those holiday decorations, and dive into the holiday season head first! A big part of getting into the holiday season is getting that Christmas tree up & we have fiiiinaaalllllllly entered the “safe zone”. Ya know, the time where it’s safe to display your gorgeous tree in the window without fear that your neighbors are secretly judging your extra enthusiasm for the season. #sorrywerenotsorry
Even though we posted about our dream tree awhile ago (yes…this was waaaay back in early November!), we certainly didn’t dive into all of the special touches we added to this holiday look (probably because the “holiday safe zone” was nowhere in sight).
Now that we’re in the much anticipated “safe zone”, we figured it was about time to chat about all of those easy things we did to really take our holiday look to the next level. We’re all about making a big impact without spending a ton of time or money (especially this time of year) and these three simple tricks will help you do just that.
The one and ONLY supply you’ll need for ALL of these mini projects? A paint marker! Invest in a paint marker this season (maybe a few different colors while you’re at it), and we promise you it’ll be a game changer. You can pick up a Painters paint marker at many retailers including Walmart & Meijer.
1. Monogram your gifts
We are pretty obsessed with the monogram gift logos this year… and even MORE obsessed that recreating this look is so darn easy. Forget buying gift tags, all you need is a wrapped gift and a paint marker (we used gold here).
Monogram Instructions: We traced a shot glass with a pencil onto the gift, this helped guide us in drawing a perfect circle. Then we added the letters of each of our monograms, making sure the middle letter was larger and the two side letters were the same size as each other (and a bit smaller than the middle). We traced that pencil design with the paint marker and we were done! It’s a high impact look that literally took us less than 30 seconds each. Plus, it makes the presents under your tree look classy & preppy!
2. Personalize Ornaments
Ornaments are another perfect way to add personality and decor to your tree. Plus they make great gifts, great accessories for wrapping, and even could be the perfect keepsake. Making sure your ornaments are stylish and personal is key this holiday season, yet these DIY ornaments don’t have to take a ton of time to look high end.
We DIY-ed a lot of the ornaments on Maggie’s tree simply by using a paint marker to draw the design of our choice. Some ornaments were polka dotted, some striped, some had messages, or doodles, and others even Mag’s initials.
We got our hands on some white ornaments (any color ornament would work!) and used silver and gold paint markers to doodle right on there. Literally, each ornament probably took about 1 minute or less and the whole process of doodling and creating the look of the tree’s ornaments from scratch was a fun little challenge!
We think this simple craft could be perfect for your next girl’s night in, the perfect teacher/hairdresser/friend/boss/co-worker/etc. gift, or even just a fun way to get the kids involved in decorating the tree. What mom wouldn’t love handmade scribbles that they could look back on years and years and years later?! DIY ornaments — an absolute must this season!
3. Dress up your hostess gift
We don’t know about you, but often times our go-to hostess gift for the holidays is a bottle of wine… or 3. It’s easy and everyone loves wine,… especially when it comes with a personalized gift bag. We bought a dozen of these wine bags last year (for super cheap!) and love personalizing them for holiday hosts. A Christmas message, a last name, a super easy monogram (!!), the possibilities are really endless on this one. We used a black paint marker for this one… and outlined the letters in a little silver to make it a little more festive. We added a few bells & a bow and before we knew it, we had a standard bottle that now looked personalized and ten times more thoughtful <– This simple craft can be as time intensive as the message you write, but this one took less than 5 minutes. You can create a few different bags so you have them for all your parties. Heck, maybe THIS is the craft you’ll tackle on your next girl’s night instead. Maybe over a glass of wine… or 3?
So what do you say… is it time to add a paint marker to Santa’s little workshop?! We’d love to hear how you add (or plan to add) personal touches to your holiday decor and gifts this year. And if you’re inspired to craft this holiday season, it’s the last month for the Painters DIY contest where a monthly winner gets a prize valued at $500!

Put your sleep time to good use with this week’s Gorgeous Giveaway. We have 3 Cupron Pillowcases (a $49.95 value) to give to our lucky winners. Infused with copper, these beauty pillowcases help reduce facial lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks.
According to a study published in the September 2012 issue of the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, a good nights’ sleep may be all you need to reduce your wrinkles. After sleeping on the Cupron pillow every night for 4 weeks, test participants showed a 10% reduction in their crow’s feet. These findings were verified by experienced grading experts as well as imaging equipment designed to measure wrinkle depth.
Copper is known for its healing abilities and is actually used in medical technologies to treat wounds and rheumatic diseases. It works by enhancing the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. As we age, the production of these two proteins decreases, resulting in the formation of wrinkles. Copper is naturally anti-bacterial and also has been found to reduce oxidative stress and for these reasons has been included in many topical cosmetic products.
Unlike topical creams, you can never use up the Cupron pillowcase; it will not lose its effectiveness over time because the copper is literally infused in the case’s satin fibers. The case is beige with brown piping and can complement many decors. Don’t miss out on the beauty giveaway.
To Enter: Tell us your favorite bedtime routine for promising a night of sweet dreams.

Fleas are considered as the most annoying pests for any house owners. And when dogs or cats are present, then fleas like to come close to them. It’s not just irritating but also creates an unhygienic messy condition overall. So it’s essential to know how to get rid of fleas. And for that, it is the most common concern for all to know the proper way by which you will be able to get rid of them from the house in an effective way. And now here we are with some solutions. We have discussed some home remedies for fleas, including the tips and tricks to get away the fleas from the house.
Home remedies for fleas:
Some accessible home components are always available at our home. But we don’t know the proper use of them except specific purposes. But the thing is that we can use some kitchen tools or ingredients as the home remedies for fleas in the house. These are not only beneficial but also cost-effective.
But before adopting any remedies, vacuuming is one of the most effective ways of controlling fleas. Regular vacuuming has to do a bit properly. By doing this, the life of carpets or rugs will be extended. Again it will help to get rid of the fleas, including their eggs hiding inside the covered area under floor mats. Here are some effective home remedies for fleas-
You may be surprised by thinking about how to get rid of fleas with this home ingredient? But the thing is that it is useful among many other home remedies for fleas. Baking soda is often considered as the safest way to get rid of many pests, including bed bugs, cockroaches, and also for fleas. For fleas removal, at first, take a stiff brush and rub it into the mat or the fabric where you want to use it. Now you have to do the vacuuming.
Use a vacuum cleaner thoroughly. But after cleaning one thing you have to keep in mind, don’t put the dirt inside the home waste bin. If you do this, then the fleas that you have taken under the vacuum contents their body part will attract other pests and can create a messy condition. So always clean the contents of the vacuum into a plastic bag and put it outside.
Lemon is also an essential component that acts as a home remedy for fleas. This process can be done by using a spray bottle and the lemon extract. Cut the lemon slice finely and put it with a little amount of water and boil it to squeeze out the maximum amount of lemon extract. Put it overnight by pouring it into a spray bottle.
Next day spray this lemon solution over the infected area. But one thing keeps in mind, don’t spray in such a way so that the infected place or location is soaked with the solution it just has to dampen with a piece of fabric. If possible, put the materials on sun rays so that it dries properly.
Use of the herbal spray is another remedy that’s popular as home remedies for fleas on puppies and to get rid of them. By using this, you will be able to avoid harsh chemicals that are not always good to use. So herbal sprays are considered as a good home remedy for fleas. It’s not so difficult to prepare.
For that required ingredients are one gallon of vinegar, a half-gallon of water, 16 ounces of lemon juice, and eight ounces of witch hazel and mix them properly to make a good solution. Now vigorously vacuum your home to try and get rid of the irritating fleas. Wash those things that can’t be vacuumed, but fleas are available there. For getting a better result, spray the solution throughout your home and repeat this process if required.
If you want to choose one among home remedies for fleas on Shih Tzu, then we should have a look over this. While considering home remedies for fleas, salt is a good component that’s dehydrating agent helps to get rid of the adult fleas. It works best on grounds. For that, sprinkle salt all over the carpets or the place where fleas mostly come.
Then leave it for 1-2 days. Within these days, don’t sweep away these places with any floor cleaner or floor bloom. Then the reaction of salt will be decreased, and fleas will not be affected by this. After 1-2 days, now clean the place with a vacuum cleaner. And once again, clean the vacuum content outside of the house.
Rosemary oil or powder:
Rosemary fragrance has the fleas removal components for that if you use rosemary oil or powder, then you will be able to get a good result. You can use rosemary as oil or crushed powder form; both of them are effective. For this process, put some rosemary oil on a container or bottle and put it at the corner where the fragrance will cover the entire place. By doing so, fleas will like to go away as they don’t like the scent of rosemary.
Again you can do another thing. If the pet animals are also irritated by fleas, then you can put a few drops of rosemary oil on the base of their neck and can give a shower to get rid of fleas. This is also known as a natural bath with rosemary oil. The powder form of rosemary oil can be made by mixing an equal proportion of rosemary, peppermint, fennel, and wormwood. Now grind all these together and make a fine mix as powder form. But one thing keeps on the mind by doing this; it will only prevent the fleas but will not kill them.
By adding 20 drops of citronella oil with ten drops of tea tree oil, ten drops of lemongrass oil, and five drops of geranium oil to warm water, the citronella mixture will be ready. Use this solution to mop the house. You can repeat the process more often you want.
The dishwasher is a good solution to get rid of fleas from home. For that, place a water-filled plate on the floor in each room of your home. Now add a few spoon or cap of dish soap to each plate. After that, keep a small tea candle in the middle of the plates. By this process, fleas will be attracted to the candlelight.
And when fleas come to the plate, the surrounding soapy liquid will trap and kill the fleas. It is better to try this remedy at night. But you have to also remain awake while candle will burn as a safety measure. While doing this process, it is better to keep the children and your fav pet away from this temporary fleas trap.
Apple cider vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar is also beneficial among home remedies for fleas as white vinegar. Put it on a spray bottle and spray over the place where fleas come more frequently. For herbal bathing of pets, while each time changing the water, add a teaspoon of ACV to their bathing water bowl. This will also improvise the pet’s health by providing a fleas free coating.
White vinegar spray:
White vinegar is effective among most of the home remedies for fleas. You can make a vinegar solution by using some supportive ingredients. For that, mix a cup of white vinegar with a quarter cup of water, 2-3 drops of lavender or cedar oil.

So, it’s better to use the dry form or keep them away from the easy access of this herb. It is popular among home remedies for fleas on dogs.

Last week we discussed the Eurosport range, easily one of our largest portfolios of aftermarket alloys, this week it’s the turn of one of the smallest, the Trackready. Just how small is the Trackready range? It contains just the one wheel, the Pro-Lite Eco 2.0, so yes, very small indeed, but then this is a range that majors on quality over quantity, and the Pro-Lite is ideal for the vast majority of its indeed users.
It’s important to realise that the Pro-Lite is one of our most focussed products, a lightweight, super strong alloy intended for club motorsport use. Creating a mass market wheel that manages to be both light and strong is trickier than you might first think, and ensuring both eventually proved to be a time consuming task for our engineering team. Fortunately, their many decades of experience came to the fore, and they swiftly commenced an intensive development phase. They also commenced talks with a number of leading British motor racing outfits and drivers, before taking their suggestions on board.
The result of this consultative phase? An immensely strong wheel, one more than capable of shrugging off the kind of abuse that’s par for the course when it comes to track days and club races, yet one which also weighs a mere 7.1kg in 7.0x15in guise. The benefits of increased strength are self-evident, though we think it’s well worth underlining that with reduced mass comes a reduced unsprung weight, which in turn brings about handling benefits. Yet another reason to make the Pro-Lite a central part of your track day weapon.
We’re well placed to tailor the Pro-Lite to further suit the needs of individual customers. It boasts an ultra-low offset which permits our engineers to offer the Pro-Lite in a dizzying array of different specifications, including custom PCDs and offsets via our pair of cutting edge CNC machines. It’s an impressive setup and one that bodes well if you plan on using them in anger, and if you specify track-spec wheels you will receive Pro-Lites with a smaller centre cap more suited to this application.
Construction aside, the Pro-lite has also been developed to be a wheel suitable for a staggering number of fitments, meaning that it doesn’t really matter which car you own or which series you intend to compete in (if any), there’s every chance it will bolt right up. The full lineup of PCD options available can be seen below, while the wheel sizes available are as follows: 7.0×15, 7.5×17, 8.0×18, 9.0×17, 9.0×18. To paraphrase Henry Ford, the Pro-Lite can be had in any colour you like, so long as it’s gloss black’ (with a colour coded centre cap), a decision which underscores its focused, track-honed nature.
While it’s undoubtedly true that we devised the Pro-Lite to be able to handle the demands of racing, it’s every bit at home on the public roads. Those that opt to run it on the road will receive a wheel with an enlarged centre cap, a stylish addition that prominently displays the Wolfrace logo.
The Wolfrace TrackReady Pro-Lite is available in the following fitments and sizes:
Fitments: 4×100, 4×108, 4×114.3, 4×98, 5×100, 5×105, 5×108, 5×110, 5×112, 5×114.3, 5×115, 5×118, 5×120, 5×120.65, 5×98
7.0×15in 7.1kg – £90.00
7.5×17in 9.1kg – £105.00
9.0×17in 9.5kg – £120.00
8.0×18in 9.6kg – £127.50
9.0×18in 10.6kg – £135.00

We love inflatable hot tubs for their convenience whenever we need a relaxing session in hot water.
However, the joy of a hot tub is the clean water. Keeping the water in your hot tub clean is highly reliant on how clean you also keep the tub itself.
We all love our holidays, but with the pandemic, the leverage of traveling has been taken from us. We have had to revert to turning our backyards and gardens into holiday havens using hot tubs or paddling pools.
More and more people continue to buy hot tubs for massage and spa experiences that they can’t get elsewhere.
Luckily, inflatable hot tubs are simply designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. Like all the other areas in your home, hot tubs also need some TLC through periodic cleaning.
You can only unwind, relax, and let the warm water melt tension and stress away if you maintain clean water in the tub.
Tips On Keeping The Water In The Tub Clean
1. Utilize The Water Filtration System
Most inflatable hot tubs come with built-in water filtration systems. Hard water has mineral particles that cause clogging in infiltration systems sooner or later.
To ensure good water flow in your tub, we recommend cleaning the filter cartridges regularly.
For thorough cleaning, spray water on the filter cartridges using a garden hose. The force of a hose helps remove any debris caught on the filter pleats.
To keep the filter in good condition, use filter cleaners.
We recommend replacing the filter cartridges every six months to three years, depending on the quality of your water supply.
Regular replacement will help ensure the filtration system works smoothly. Always have spare filters in the house to swap when one set is being cleaned.
2. Use Chemicals
Bacteria and algae grow in water bodies, and a hot tub with water is no exception. Hence, sanitation is very crucial for maintaining clean water in your tub because it kills impurities that could be harmful to your skin and health.
One of the most common sanitizers for hot tubs and spas is bromine. For every liter of water, 3-6 milligrams of bromine can keep the water sanitized.
Bromine is available in tablets, which make it easily soluble in water. However, some people dislike the strong smell of bromine.
If the smell of bromine bothers you, chlorine is a good choice too. Chlorine is available in granular form, which also makes it dissolve in water quickly.
For every liter of water, 3-5 milligrams of chlorine will effectively sanitize the water.
You can also add shock oxidizers in your hot tub for sanitation. Oxidizers help destroy residue that comes from soakers like oils, cosmetics, and dead skin.
It also eliminates foul odors in the water and keeps the water free from clouding and organic matter. Use oxidizers weekly, but for no more than 10 minutes to effectively fight bacteria in the water.
3. Manually Clean The Hot Tub
To effectively remove calcification, scum buildup, and other residues in your hot tub, good scrubbing is needed. To get rid of dirt in your hot tub, scrub it with mild non-abrasive and suds-free cleaners, rag scrubbers, and soft nylon.
People living in areas with hard water need to clean their tubs harder due to the calcification that occurs in the tub internally and externally. Whenever you empty the hot tub, you should give it a good clean before replacing the water.
A cloth or sponge and warm water will help remove less stubborn stains. Thoroughly clean the tub, including the lid, and then rinse it down with cold water before you drain the water.
4. Replace The Water
Once the tub is clean, you need to refill it with clean water. Knowing when to do this is very important in keeping the water clean.
Leaving water in an inflatable hot tub for too long gives it a dirty look.
A buildup film may appear on the surface of the water and can have a foul odor.
You should change the water monthly, depending on how many people regularly use the tub.
5. Check The Water’s pH Level
Some hot tubs feature a water testing kit; if yours doesn’t, you need to buy one. Using a water testing kit, you can check the pH level of your water.
Your inflatable hot tub manual should specify the pH level the water should have; most range between 7.2–7.8 pH.
If the test falls below 7.2, the water in the tub is too acidic and could corrode your pumps if not changed. If above 7.8, the water could have mineral deposits.
We recommend buying safe granules to add to the hot tub to lower or boost the alkaline level.
6. Shower And Use The Bathroom Before Getting Into The Hot Tub
Before you get into a hot tub, everyone should shower first.
This will help remove any traces of perfumes, body oils, aftershave, and deodorants that tend to leave stains on the tub’s surface.
We also recommend using the bathroom before getting into the tub, especially if you have children.
Unlike adults, children aren’t too careful where they relieve themselves, and the last thing you need is for that to happen when you are enjoying a relaxing hot tub with them.
7. Keep The Lid On
Inflatable hot tubs come with a cover or lid for a reason – to prevent the entry of debris like dust, leaves, or dust that will contaminate your water. Whenever no one is using the tub, make sure to keep the water clean by covering it.
The sole purpose of investing in an inflatable hot tub is for gratification and relaxation.
Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial to keep enjoying your spa, and these tips will help you keep your water clean.
After every cleaning session, if you need to store the hot tub away, make sure it dries thoroughly to prevent mold and mildew from growing on the tub while in storage.
For proper storage, remove all valves, lay the tub flat, fold it carefully, and check for any damp spots before placing it on a high shelf or in a sturdy bag.

It was a thrill to be back in Trondheim and attend Aqua Nor 2021 exhibition. Due to the covid restrictions, most of other exhibitions were cancelled in the course of last two years. Definitely we had missed face-to-face meetings, introducing our innovations to people and seeing good friends from Norway.
In our second attendance, Aqua Nor exceeded our expectations once again. Physical even attracted more than 16,000 visitors and it had quite a euphoric atmosphere. We had the chance to visit stands of many vessel owners and shipyards in the exhibition halls. Despite the bad weather in first two days, we also enjoyed visiting the vessels in the harbor.
Aquaculture is a very dynamic and fast-growing industry in Norway. Companies embrace innovation culture at the highest level and want to benefit from the digitalization in all fields of the industry. They have a big concern for reducing environmental impacts of their operations and want to manage all phases of their operations in a better way. Not only in breeding, feeding and biomass control, but also in the fleet management side companies seek software solutions that can make their life easier and more efficient.
In this regard, we observed a growing demand for Marfle Fleet Analytics by vessel owners firsthand. This was our second time at Aqua Nor and this time Marfle’s brand awareness and the demand for the product was much greater. We held several meetings with the top managers of leading aquaculture service companies in Norway. Their positive feedbacks for Marfle Fleet Analytics and their interest in utilizing marine analytics to improve their operations boost our motivation. It is very likely that we might announce new deals soon.
This time we attended the exhibition together with our local partner Rogaland Marine. Company’s strong reputation in aquaculture industry and expertise in a wide range of services help us solidify our presence in Norwegian market. In addition, company’s manager Sveinung Sæbø was a great host! We would like to thank him for the time that we have spent together in Trondheim.
Different than the previous exhibition, we wanted to experience the Norwegian way of living in a cottage by Jonsvatnet lake. The scenes that we saw were breathtaking. It was a totally different experience than staying in these usual hotels which are nearby the exhibition halls. Cottage life comes with its realities. Boiling the water in the kitchen before taking a shower or just enjoying cold water was a good way to leave our comfort zones. We highly recommend renting a cottage to everyone for a real Norwegian experience.
We have already missed Trondheim and Norway. Hopefully we will back for some installations soon.

If you’re dating a vulnerable narcissist, you may already be aware of how fragile the ego of a narcissist can be. Vulnerable narcissism is much different than the traditional form of narcissism, or grandiose narcissism that most people are familiar with. When you’re dating someone with vulnerable narcissism, they are typically more emotionally vulnerable. The root traits of narcissism are there, but you may find vulnerable narcissists tend to have more vulnerable traits. You may face challenges being in a relationship with a vulnerable narcissist, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make it work with some effort. Take a look at the following advice for dating a vulnerable narcissist to give your relationship the best shot.
Recognize The Traits Of A Vulnerable Narcissist
When it comes to Narcissistic Personality Disorder, there are two main types: grandiose or overt and the other vulnerable or covert. While the root of narcissistic traits is the same, there are ways that they differ. Common traits of a vulnerable narcissist include:
Understand Your Partner’s Emotional Fragility
If your partner is a vulnerable narcissist, it’s important to recognize that they may be more emotionally fragile than others. Their self-esteem may depend on what others think of them more than other types of narcissists. These narcissists can be hypersensitive to the things that people say to them. Your partner’s fragile emotional state means that they may consistently seek reassurance from you.
It’s also important to understand that your partner is may likely have challenges interacting socially. Vulnerable narcissists tend to be more introverted, and they often shy away from people. This could mean that your partner may actively try to avoid social situations. Your significant other could be fine with hanging out with you, but they might not be willing to go eat out at a restaurant. This is just one example of how a vulnerable narcissist might avoid a situation that they could deem to be socially awkward.
Criticism Can Lead To Your Partner Shutting Down
A vulnerable narcissist may have difficulty taking criticisms from others, as they are hypersensitive and easily hurt their feelings. If you criticize your partner, a vulnerable narcissist, they may shut down or lash out at you. In the case of most vulnerable narcissists, they may end up retreating within themselves. These types of narcissists are introverted by nature and have various social anxieties that cause them to be self-absorbed and feel afraid of not matching up to others expectations.
For this reason, you may need to think about how you’re talking to your partner. It may be helpful to try your best not to come across like you’re attacking your partner.
Set And Maintain Boundaries
In any relationship, setting boundaries is important. Decide what you will and will not accept in the relationship and be very clear about it. If something makes you uncomfortable, you can speak up and let your partner know that you feel that way. You have a right to your feelings and to be respected. A vulnerable narcissist lacks empathy and may try to challenge your boundaries, but it’s important to remain firm from the beginning. It may be difficult to maintain these boundaries, but setting and keeping these boundaries will show your partner your limits and values.
Try Not To Take It Personally
When dating a vulnerable narcissist, it may seem difficult to not take their behavior personally, especially if you are on the receiving end of their manipulation, deception, or lack of empathy. However, it’s important to remember; their behavior doesn’t have anything to do with you. Hold them accountable for how they are treating you. If you take their behavior to heart, they may realize that they have control over you.
Create Healthy Distance
If you find yourself overwhelmed at times in your relationship with a vulnerable narcissist, remember it is perfectly okay to create a healthy distance between you at times. The purpose of this is not to hurt or punish them but to create space for you to protect yourself from any of their negative behaviors. It’s okay to let them know you need to take space. This is all part of maintaining firm boundaries.
Stand Up For Yourself
A narcissist naturally has a grand sense of self-importance, and they may be incredibly self-absorbed. It may be easy to begin to lose your sense of self or your purpose when your partner is always taking center stage. It’s important to acknowledge your partner's feelings and remember you also need to make yourself and your feelings a priority. When dating a vulnerable narcissist, put yourself first, stand up for yourself, and let yourself be heard.
Don’t Be Afraid To Seek Professional Help
If you find yourself in a relationship with a vulnerable narcissist, it may be helpful to seek support from a relationship therapist. They can provide tools and guidance that may help your partner manage their selfish nature and provide resources for you to cope with their behaviors and strengthen your relationship.
Online counseling can be very effective for individuals experiencing mental health concerns. An online therapist can help you and your partner work through these issues while also working on any relationship concerns you may have, all at your own convenience, in the comfort of your own home. Reach out to a licensed professional today to start your journey to a healthier and more fulfilling relationship.
“Austa has been wonderful thus far. She has helped my partner and I during an unimaginably difficult time... She has also guided us in communicating effectively and setting appropriate boundaries in our relationship. I was hesitant to pursue counseling initially, but I truly believe that it makes a difference in our relationship. Austa is easy to talk to, and she is a great listener. I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a counselor.”
“Sessions with Natalie are very insightful and give practical advice on implementing new habits and changes. Be prepared to engage and be challenged to think differently. I know that my partner and I can already see improvements in our relationship and feel more positive about working through our issues together.”

This is a tutorial on how to create a two part silicone mold and cast objects out of resin.
My general workflow was to take the 3d model from the game, 3d print it, make a silicone mold, and cast in resin. The 3d print on medium quality took 5 hours to print. It is also hollow and light. Not great for a final product. Casting the resin, I could take it out of the mold in 15 minutes. But there were definitely some preparations needed before I could cast it:
- First was filling in the feet – In the picture below, the feet are separated with concave surfaces in between each leg. This would require a more complicated mold – potentially more than two parts. The bottom of this page has a good explanation of types of objects requiring different molds: http://www.tapplastics.com/product_info/mold_making_guide In my 3d modeling software Maya, I added geometry in between the feet to fill it in, allowing me to do a simple two part mold.
See the gaps between the feet that are filled in in the final toy?
- There were also various problems with the in game model that needed to be prepped for 3d printing. First, it was very low polygon as it is a mobile game. I added edge loops to keep the detail where I wanted such as sharp edges on spikes and keep contours on eyebrows etc. Then I smoothed it, setting the continuity to .5 or so to keep it from losing too much form. I also increased the size of the spikes and feet – always a good idea to make smallish details bigger for 3d printing. Also, the game model had holes in the head behind the eyes and it turned out to ruin the head area of the print because Makerware couldn’t figure out how to resolve it. You can use multiple meshes with most 3d printers, but be sure they are water-tight.
- Lastly, my Makerbot Replicator 2 is great and it one of my favorite tools, but it is still relatively low res in comparison to the $75k range. I needed to go over it very very thoroughly with my dremel to smooth out the print grooves. I also use filler primer and wet sanding in multiple layers to fill in gaps. Once you do that and think it’s smooth enough, SMOOTH IT SOME MORE! Silicone picks up every detail. And I mean every detail.
Printing the original – the color change is simply because I ran out of clear and switched to red.
Next came the process of creating the mold. Here is a great video on how to make a silicone mold. Be sure to watch part one as well. I bought some silicone from my local plastics store, Reynolds Advanced Materials. I use Mold Max 14nv for the molds. The material is sturdy and pretty bubble free.
But the biggest thing I learned was DO IT RIGHT AND TAKE YOUR TIME. This stuff is relatively expensive and you don’t want to waste it. Always measure with a scale unless the material is meant to be mixed by volume. (14nv is mix 1:1 by volume)
To make the two part mold, first we measure out some foam core to make a box around our object. I decided the feet were convenient pour holes. I filled one side with SULFER FREE clay. Be sure to make the edges here very clean against the model and that there are no gaps for the silicone to go through either the clay or the foam box. You can never use too much glue gun!
Also, poke the clay with a sharpee or embed something in there – this creates registration points to help match up the two sides of the mold. Another tip to reduce clay needed is to pad the bottom with foil so you don’t have to use a ton of clay. Just ask for ‘Klean Klay’. The brand no longer exists, but the same stuff is everywhere and your plastics seller should know what you’re talking about.
Measure out your silicone according to the instructions. Be sure to spray the original and inside of the box with mold release. I use Stoner’s brand – $14 dollars for a can and it lasts me for a bit. The mold release will help keep the silicone from sticking.
Below, we pour the silicone in. We pour from up high to stretch out the stream and reduce bubbles.
Let that side cure for however long your silicone says. 14nv takes about 4 hours. Next, turn it over, remove the foam core that used to be on the bottom. Remove foil/clay and make sure to clean it nicely. Spray with mold release again and then do the other side. I have no good pics for this step.
When your mold is cured, be sure to check for any areas of your mold where air bubbles might get trapped. For instance, with the Steakosaurus there were air bubbles on the bottom of the chin. I cut a little v shaped groove to allow air to flow through. Also cut out some pieces of wood to put on each side to stabilize and use a belt or something to clamp it together nicely. Spray some mold release before each cast!
Next, mix up what you want to cast. I’ve done a few different materials including foam which is real fun but has some nasty fumes. I will make a tutorial on the foam in the future. For this example I am using a 1 to 1 low viscosity urethane. I use almost exclusively Smooth-On products. Smooth-On’s Smooth Cast series are my current favorite. http://www.smooth-on.com/Urethane-Plastic-a/c5_1120_1209/index.html?catdepth=1
The resin will heat up pretty quickly within a minute or so. You have to be quick working with it. Just measure it out on your scale in separate plastic cups, throw both into another cup and start mixing right away. You should use gloves and maybe even a mask if you want to be extra safe. Have your mold clamped and ready with mold release sprayed nicely inside. Carefully pour it in. I like to stop half way through and tilt it back and forth a bit.
Wait the allotted time as instructed by whatever brand of plastic you buy and carefully pull it out of the mold.
Always mix very carefully! Below, I wasn’t very careful and didn’t mix very thoroughly. I still have this guy sitting in a box and he is still gooey.
The rest is simple! Below is a pic of my painting process. I spray painted the base and the spine plates and hand painted the rest with acrylics. I may invest in an air brush in the future.

Global nitrile butadiene rubber market set for rapid growth
Global nitrile butadiene rubber market set for rapid growth, to reach around £346 million by 2020 according to a new research report.
Nitrile-butadiene rubber is a complex family of various butadiene monomers and unsaturated copolymers. Its chemical and physical properties vary based on the polymer’s composition of nitrile. This form of synthetic rubber is usually resistant to oil, fuel and other chemicals. Some nitrile-butadiene rubbers are hydrogenated to decrease the chemical reactivity of the polymer backbone to enhance heat resistance. NBR finds wide range of application in fuel hoses, gaskets, rollers, and other products which requires oil resistance. Different types of NBR include Cold NBR, hot NBR, cross-linked hot NBR, carboxylate nitrile and bound antioxidant NBR.

If you are camping with a generator, your equipment should be safe to use. It isn’t complicated to learn how to ground a generator when camping. The process of grounding is vital to keep everyone safe.
For anyone without previous experience grounding a generator and aren’t sure what is needed, we have it broken down into these three simple steps. You will have your generator grounded correctly in no time at all by following this guide, and you’ll look like a pro doing it.
What Exactly Does It Mean to Ground a Generator?
When you ground a generator, it gives the electricity a safe and effective way to move from the generator back to the ground, where it will not cause problems. It is a helpful way to discharge extra electrical currents that do not have a place to go to so they do not damage your items plugged into the generator.
If lightning were to strike while you were out camping, a grounded generator will be safe and not cause any disastrous problems. A grounding wire takes any excess built-up energy and sends it through the path and back into the ground, where it can dissipate effectively and safely.
Does Every Generator Need Grounding?
Some generators will not need grounding. You must determine if your style of generator will need to be grounded. One easy way to tell if you have to do this will be to check in the user manual. If you do not have access to a user manual, you can figure this out by examining your unit.
Generators with a separately derived system will need grounding, while those models which do not have a separately derived system do not require grounding. Some portable generators that are mounted on a metal frame with their fuel tank, housing, and engine do not need grounding.
If you are not sure which system your generator has, it is simple enough to figure out. All you need to look for is the system’s generator transfer switch.
If you cannot transfer to a neutral ground conductor with the transfer switch, it is a separately derived system and does not need grounding. Generators that require grounding will have a transfer switch to go to a neutral ground conductor.
Why You Need to Ground a Generator
There are critical reasons why you need to ground a generator when camping. By adding a ground connector, you ensure the safe operation of your unit.
Electricity will run through the wires and travel to neutral connections. Grounding helps in case anything happens to the electrical circuit where it will travel elsewhere. Electricity will always travel through the path of less resistance, meaning that it can go to places where it shouldn’t go.
The Benefits of Grounding
You don’t want your ungrounded generator to be the reason why a grass fire starts while you are out in the country enjoying some time away. Some of the advantages of grounding your generator include:
- Protects your generator from excessive electrical overloads
- The ground is the path of least resistance, making it a safe route
- It helps stabilize the voltage levels during operation
- Stop damage from happening to the generator
- Minimizes the risk of electrocution and even death
Harmful Outcomes That Can Happen Without Grounding
When electricity dissipates into areas where it shouldn’t, you can see some disastrous effects. The metal frame around a portable generator can carry electricity, making it harmful to touch if it is not grounded.
- Shock or Electrocution: Things like mild shocks or severe electrocution can happen, causing harm to anyone who has contact with the metal frame.
- Fires: Rouge electrical currents can spark and start a fire, especially when you are in a wooded area with tall grasses. Electricity can travel through the fuel tank and engine, where fires can start and set the generator on fire.
Having a proper grounding in place for your generator will make your campsite safe to use at all times.
How to Ground a Generator In 3 Easy Steps
If you need to know how to ground a generator when camping, you’ve come to the right place. Everything you need to do is in these three steps, so you can start enjoying the countryside safely without worrying about your generator.
The Supplies You Need to Ground a Generator
The first thing you should gather when you need to ground a generator is the correct supplies. Without these proper items, your generator may not ground correctly or effectively. Many of these items are easy to purchase at any local store or through several online retailers.
The supplies you need to ground a generator when camping are:
- Grounding rod: made from stainless steel, copper, or zinc-coated stainless steel
- Copper grounding wire
- A pair of wire strippers to remove the insulation coating from the end of the quality copper grounding wire
- Hammer to pound the separate grounding rod into the earth
- A set of pliers to wind the copper wire around the grounding rod
- A wrench to loosen and tighten the grounding bolts on the generator
- Protective clamps or fittings for the grounding rod parts that are above ground
- Optional items: water or a shovel to soften and break up hard ground, or soldering equipment if you prefer to solder the copper grounding wire
Once you have all the necessary supplies, you can get to work on correctly grounding your generator when camping.
Step 1: Install the Grounding Rod
The first step for grounding your generator when camping is to install the grounding rod. This process could be easy or difficult, depending on the ground consistency where the stake needs to go.
Some camping spots may be rocky or have hard soil that is tough to break through. For stiff or rocky ground, you could add water to soften up the dirt or a shovel to remove large rocks in the way.
Use your hammer to drive the grounding rod into the ground. For proper grounding, the rod should be in a total of eight feet. Sometimes the ground consistency may not allow for an eight-foot (2.4 m) stake straight down. In these cases, you can adjust the angle of the grounding rod up to 45° so you can accommodate the stake.
If there are any parts of the grounding stake above ground, you must cover them with protective clamps or fittings. These will help protect anyone who may come in contact with it while there is an active connection to the generator.
Step 2: Connect the Copper Wire to the Grounding Rod
Next, you will need to connect the copper wire to the grounding rod. Use your pair of wire strippers to remove 6 to 12 inches (15 cm to 30 cm) of insulation from one end of the copper grounding wire. Wind this bare wire around the grounding rod tightly with your pliers to have a secure connection.
Use your pliers and wind the copper grounding wire tightly around the grounding rod. Pliers can give it a more secure connection than one done by hand.
If you have soldering equipment, some individuals prefer to solder it entirely to the rod. If you do not have previous experience with soldering, stick to using your pliers for this step. Soldering can be tricky if the grounding rod is not hot enough, making the solder not stick effectively.
Step 3: Ground the Generator
The final step you need to work through is to ground the generator correctly. Your generator must be off for this step.
There will be a grounding bolt on the generator. Find this bolt and loosen it slightly with your wrench. Take the other end of the copper grounding wire and use your wire strippers to remove 1 to 2 inches (2.6 cm to 5 cm) of insulation from this end.
Wrap the bare wire tightly around the grounding bolt on the generator with your pliers. Retighten the grounding bolt with your wrench to secure the connection. If you have soldering equipment handy, you could also solder this connection if you like.
After you complete these three steps, you are ready to turn on your generator and use it safely. You should have no worries about having an excess electrical charge from your generator that could cause problems while you are out camping.
What Are Ground Fault Circuit Interpreters (GFCI)?
Some generators will include ground fault circuit interpreters. These will protect you from any electric shock that can occur. They can determine any imbalances of electrical current that are a risk of electrical shock and will stop the electrical current from going to the outlet.
These outlet protectors are customary in home bathrooms and other areas where electrical surges can occur. Having these features on your portable generator is a beneficial asset, especially when short circuits happen while you operate your generator. They will protect you from electric shock and keep your generator from being damaged.
These outlets will contain a red and black button that will trip when they cut the power. If the outlet does not work, try pressing the black button. This action should make the red button pop out. This process will reset the outlet and make it operational again. If it doesn’t pop out, your outlet could be damaged or defective and will need replacing.
Although it is convenient to take your generator on the road camping with you, it needs to be grounded correctly. By learning how to ground a generator when camping, you will make it safe for use. This process will minimize the risk of electrocution or starting a fire from sparks. You want to enjoy your time away and not have to worry about your campsite being unsafe.
The responsibility of grounding your generator is serious. You do not want to skip a step or not do the procedure correctly. If you do not follow the steps properly, your camping generator will not ground effectively, and it can still cause harm or damage if there is any build-up of electricity.
Still have questions? We’ve got you covered!
What happens if you don’t ground a portable generator?
It can cause a short circuit, creating sparks and initiating a fire. This situation can be extremely hazardous when you are out in the country with tall or dry grass. Another disastrous outcome would be someone getting an electric shock or severely electrocuted. A generator could start on fire if excess electricity travels through the gas tank or engine, causing more damage to surrounding vehicles or buildings.
Can you run a generator overnight?
You can run your generator overnight as long as you have enough fuel in the gas tank. The only concern with overnight operation would be to ensure that it does not run out of fuel while running. You do not want to let it run dry, as this can cause damage to the generator. Many generators will have a large enough gas tank capacity for over eight hours of consistent running, making it safe to run overnight.
What is the quietest generator for camping?
There are several exceptional generator products in the market today that are ideal for camping. One of the quietest generators for camping is the . It runs with only 58 decibels from 23 feet, making it ideal for locations like camping where you do not want excessive noise.
Can you run a generator without a load?
It is not advisable to run a generator without having anything pulling electricity from it during operation. Having a low load can also be harmful to the generator engine. It could result in white smoke and soot clogs inside the engine and oil. The engine components will not run efficiently with added soot and dirty oil, eventually causing damage.
What is the best size of a generator for camping?
On average, a portable generator with 1,000 to 2,000 watts is sufficient for small to medium applications. It will have enough watts to power small items that you take camping. If you need a generator for a camping trailer that will run a fridge, air conditioner, or other larger appliances, a generator of 2,000 to 5,000 watts or more is more than enough.

I am a big advocate of physical activity, of stressing the system productively and pushing your body to its limit. But this all is to be done within reason. Having the correct balance between all this exercise and rest is key to maintaining a healthy body and mind. I’m going to talk a little bit about what happens when this balance is not in check and what can happen.
As a physiotherapist we deal with the musculoskeletal system. However, if this is our sole focus we end up been very narrow minded, lack good results with our patients and get frustrated about why certain patients aren’t improving. We need to look at the body as a whole and learn about how the different systems are all connected. The musculoskeletal system effects respiratory system, which in turn can affect the digestive system, which in turn can affect the immune system. Connecting all of these systems together is our nervous system. We have 3 modes which we function at 1) rest and digest, mainly when we are sleeping, 2) Fight or flight, mainly when we are exercising or responding to a stressful environment and 3) equilibrium, when mode 2 and 3 are functioning smoothly. Mode 3 is where we ideally want to be most of the time. However with our lifestyles at present this is often not the case. We tend to spend a lot more time in mode 2 than we really are suppose to.
Take for example this case. Shane has just had a really stressful month at work. He’s having some family issues at home and he’s also just found out he needs a new car as his old one has broken down. Shane is not sleeping well. He is easily agitated. He is not eating well and is feeling run down. He is feeling very stressed. He goes to the gym 5 times a week and feels like pushing himself more and more to try and help with his life’s stresses. Next thing he knows he is experiencing intense burning pain through his lower back and into his glute. He can’t sit at work and this is distributing his already excessive workload. He is even more run down and his sleeping patterns are even more disturbed.
Shane’s system is completely out of sync. It is running in a fight or flight mode 24-7 and there is the potential of Shane developing chronic fatigue / burnout / adrenal fatigue. This is not sustainable and now Shane’s system is starting to break down. He needs some balance. He needs some rest. But how? He can’t leave his job, he can’t afford a new car. There are however lots of things Shane CAN change. Here are some simple things Shane and you can do to help reset your body and mind.
Controlled breathing exercises are some of the most powerful exercises we can do. By simply slowing down your breath and respiratory rate this slows your heart rate. As your heart rate slows your nervous system slows down. When your nervous system slows down your digestive system and musculoskeletal system begin to reset. Starting with five minutes of controlled slow deep breathing in the evening time can help you detach from the day’s stresses. As you get better and better at this you can build up to 15-20 minutes. There are also loads of really helpful mindfulness apps available which are great in guiding you through some relaxation. Instead of your normal high intensity work out maybe a gentle restorative yoga class is a better option or even a nice relaxed walk in a place that always brings a smile to your face. Instead of eating fat filled takeaways and missing meals, start eating healthy nutrient rich foods like fish, fruit and vegetables to aid in a healthier digestive system. All of these tips are aimed at improving one thing, your sleeping patterns. Good sleep is so valuable to a balanced system. It is vital in tissue repair. It allows the brain to prepare for the following day and helps you stay focused. It keeps your immune system strong.
These tips will allow you to gain control of your body again and create some balance. But a change has to happen for this to have a positive response. You need to take control of your own body. You need to recognise the stressors, address them and introduce change where you can.
