What is the Secret Society of the Crimson & Clover Fleur de Lis?
Well, first rule of SSotCaCFdL is: don’t talk about SSotCaCFdL. (Kidding… sort of)
In the simplest of terms, the SSotCaCFdL is a group of readers who have come together to celebrate and discuss the Saga of Crimson & Clover by Sarah M. Cradit.
It’s more than that, though. The atmosphere of the group is far more like a family, the name of the group itself being chosen by the members. There are occasional reader polls, and sometimes even contests. And the SSotCaCFdL is often where early teasers, graphics, and other ideas are revealed first.
Marshmallows and kittens are always accepted.
The only requirement to join is that you are truly a fan of the books. That’s it.
Sign up to be the first to receive news of new releases, sales, and other news. I only send mail when I have something I think you'll be interested in.

SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. — Hours after the school bus drivers’ union voted down Durham’s latest contract offer, the two agreed to a 30-day extension of the current contract.
Both also agreed to continue negotiations in private.
Full joint statement:
Durham School Services and Teamsters 984 have agreed to a 30 day extension of the current agreement covering Durham’s employees serving Shelby County Schools. In addition to the 30 day extension of the current agreement, both sides have committed to continuing negotiations. The negotiations will resume in private with both parties agreeing to withhold further public comment so progress can be made at the bargaining table.
When the more than 50 percent of union members voted against the contract offer, leaders said it wasn’t about economics, but rather the language in the contract.
Union President Terry Lovan said the bus drivers who voted the deal down feel disrespected by the contract, and they wouldn’t get behind the wheel until that changed.
“It’s not a job at the bottom of the barrel, we’re asking for dignity and respect,” he said.
Union leaders also said they were willing to sit down again before Monday to work out a deal with Durham, which led to the current contract’s extension.
“If we have to, and they are willing to go back to the table we will do that between now and Monday morning,” Lovan said after the proposed contract was rejected.
The bus company, on the other hand, had said the latest contract was their last, best, and final offer.
Ed Houston is one of the unionized bus drivers for local 984. He said Thursday many of his union’s men and women have been carrying kids to school for 30 or 40 years with the former Memphis City Schools.
He said, “We are not hauling boxes or cargo we are hauling life.”
Houston said the meeting Friday afternoon was intense and emotional, and his drivers felt discouraged. He also said they wouldn’t budge until a better contract was presented.
“We are not looking forward to or are we expecting to go out on strike. We expect to go back to the company and work things out,” he said.
Durham is the company that MCS used to bring kids to school. Durham also agreed to bus kids for the suburban schools, in addition to the new SCS, so a problem with Durham means a problem for everyone.
When WREG asked Thursday if the drivers would strike if they voted down the contract offer, Lovan replied, “It’s a possibility.”
The contract extension has ended that possibility, at least for now.

Albany is undoubtedly the best place in the world.
Avid readers of The Nerve may find this statement alarming, coming as it does from the Art Director, who in recent posts has systematically bagged out his new home as a woeful, misbegotten penal colony, populated by a high percentage of the elderly, the infirm and the retarded, ruled by a mindset of fundamental christianism, and rabidly policed by cops and citizens alike. Readers may therefore think i am being disingenuous. Or, worse, trying to be funny.
But as anyone who has swallowed copious amounts of lysergic acid knows, perceptions can change. I have flipflopped from abject, Sartrean despair at this humourless, Misery Beach existence, to a sudden, sybaritic embrace all things Albanian. Am i on drugs? No. Not at present, no. Today i am thundering along the Frenchman Bay Road on a motorcycle in an irrepressibly positive frame of mind, to gleefully join the mindless hordes of long weekend Rainbow Coast tourists. To visit the Blowholes, Whale World, who cares, maybe even partake of bad food, worse service, and laminex tables at the Life’s A Beach Café. To do whatever, i really don’t mind. Let’s just ramble, waste time, and soak up the vibrations of the road under this fleeting September sun. Let’s have a day off.
On the back of the motorcycle is Miss Polly, the raven-haired coffee girl from the Raven Haired Coffee Girl blog. Miss Polly is a tremendous individual in ways which cannot really be enumerated, and nor will i even begin to try. For in the words of Nick Cave “she ain’t down with any of that ’cause she’s heard that shit before.” But one thing i can say about Miss Polly is that she seems to follow, innately and therefore without even trying, that directive which is the Art Director’s unwritten law, which states that One Should Always Behave Like A Fucking Rock Star. (Which, having now been written, is of course now longer an unwritten law, but has taken on the status of a self-evident dictum.) And if you must have a girl on the back of your 650 (and really, you must) it is definitely a plus to have a beautiful, raven-haired girl who holds on to you by your thighs.
Albany. What a fantastic place.
The road winds out ahead of us like a long weekend. We roar past the sign that reads “Take Care Dangerous Coast” and into a sweeping curve watched over by a soaring stand of granite. This is where the road opens up, and snakes through the Torndirrup National Park. In the parlance of the motorcycling magazines, i hunch down and wind it on for more grin. But i must be ready on the anchors, or i might end up wearing a gravel frown.
We fly past the turnoff to the Gap, the Albanian lover’s leap of choice, and throttle into another long curve. Blowholes turnoff. Decelerate rapidly. Miss Polly presses into my back like a Japanese masseuse. A sharp turn and a short road to the coast, and a carpark swarming with (i grit my teeth) tourists. We scrunch to a halt and dismount.
“How you doing there, Miss Polly?”
She removes her helmet, and shakes free the famous raven hair. She turns those Winona Ryder eyes on me and smiles.
“Not too bad. You make a good windbreak.”
“Why, thank you. That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.”
Miss Polly appeared a couple of days before, sashaying in to Tigersnake, making my photographic exhibition suddenly look a whole lot better. And in doing so, turned my view of Albany on its head.
The girls bring out another round of G&Ts as i notice her there, with her hair and all, resplendent in a red vintage dress with a high, collared neck, looking like she has just stepped off a Southern plantation. But she is engrossed in conversation, as i am, and it is not until later, after ingesting a variety of high quality canapes, chasing them with more G&Ts, shots of vodka and crushed strawberry, plus a couple of glasses of red wine, not until nearly the end of the night, that i get a chance to speak with her.
Meanwhile i’m talking with my agent Annie, the journos Dylan, Martine and Tiffany, and Sarah Toa, the infamous writer. Dylan, after having spilled red wine on his “good” jacket, and having been told bluntly by Martine that his suede jacket “smelled”, has fronted up at this men’s boutique clothing store with his John Cooper Clarke legs protruding out from under a beige linen jacket, which features a kind of entrepreneurial 1980s cut, one button hanging by a thread, and a lapel deploying stains which look like they could easily be distilled into the kind of liquor that has a kick to rival the Limeburners whiskey we are currently knocking back.
The Don wanders over in his long, black, spotless jacket and stetson hat. There are introductions.
“Dylan, Don. Don, Dylan,” my agent says.
“Don owns the dry cleaners,” i say. Dylan shakes his hand.
“This is a match made in heaven,” Martine says.
I do more of the meet and greet, talk shop with a budding young photographer, who seems take this whole exhibition thing quite seriously, and try to quieten down a raucously drunk subeditor and news photographer who have turned up en route to a Chinese meal. Tiffany takes some social pics for The Newspaper. The ambient dance music gets too much for me, so I put on some Johnny Cash, much to everyone’s dismay. Except Sarah Toa, who beams. I wander over to Dylan and Tiffany. “I’m going to ask that girl out,” i say, indicating the raven-haired Southern belle at the other end of the room.
“She’s beautiful,” says Tiffany, no slouch in the looks department herself. She says this with an implied “but”, as she looks from the raven-haired beauty, to me, and back again.
The next morning at work, Tiffany stares at me. “How do you do it?” she asks.
We walk down to the Blowholes. Miss Polly is telling me about her trip to New York, about the outrageous price of entry to the Guggenheim Museum, the perils of xanax, and riding the late night subway into Brooklyn. I tell her my muse, Melinda Mayhem, is, even as we speak, away in New York, doing an intensive eight-week course at Film Director School. Mz Mayhem was spotted by a music producer at a Pixies gig last year. She showed him some of her film handiwork, including the Art Director production The Maestro, which co-stars the wild one herself in a red Ford coupe. And he snapped her up. She’s gone.
At the Blowholes, tourists stand around on the granite slopes, these slippery rocks which descend in a rapidly increasing incline into the rough swells of the Southern Ocean. This looks like a simple form of madness. Men, women and children stand around waiting for a king wave to relieve them of the monotony of their existence. There is a deep crevasse in the rock, under which we can hear and feel the heaving of the ocean. There is a sudden explosion, a whoomp, and a blast of air. We both jump.
“I’m looking for a replacement muse,” i tell Miss Polly. Not that Mz Mayhem could ever be replaced. But the world keeps spinning. “You interested in being famous?”
Miss Polly is looking all windswept and interesting. Her eyes scan the coast, then she turns them on me. They could melt copper at two hundred metres. “OK,” she says. “When do we start?”

yes, I know, Episode I is not really worth saving. But after watching the Blu-Ray again and trying to explain to a friend that I like the "look" and "feel" of Episode I more than that of episode II and III and realising, that the blu-rays waxy cleaned look did no justice to the fact, that Episode I had still been shot and released on 35mm Film, I thought it would be great to have the option to see Episode I in the way, it was released in theaters:
Looking like 35mm film, with Yoda as a (ugly) puppet and without the prolonged Podrace Scenes that had been added for DVD but added nothing.
So I did my research here and tried to find ADYWANS Episode I Thetrical Version. After setting up usenet and stuff I didn't know about before, I managed to download his DVD and use it as reference. (Since I wanted to have the Film in HD, I couldn't stop here...)
I still have a copy of an pre-BluRay HD broadcast of Episode I (which is esentially the DVD in 720p) and used that for the picture.
The negatives: The frame is somewhat cropped on all sides and it has that infamous red tint all over it.
There is nothing to be done against the cropped picture, as long as I want to have the look of this 35mm scanned version, but the color can be handeled.
I tried to find ADYWANS 1080p color corrected version, that seems to go in the direction, the Blu-Rays went.
But since I didn't find it I did my own color correcting and used as a reference the Podrace Clip I found on a THX DemoDVD I have. This PodRace there is also obviously scanned from 35mm, has no red tint and strong color, with clear yellow/browns, the way Tatooine is sopposed to look.
I manged to make the HD-Broadcast I had look exactly like it and used this correction for the whole film. And It works everywhere, since the "red tint" that pushed colors to a weird red/blue combo are in every scene about the same ammount. Now you get more pleasing yellow/green, and more strong and warm colors as in ADYWANS version or the Blu-Ray.
Here are some screenshots: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/96648/
The audio I'm using is the one ADYWAN was using, and that is a great Laserdisc DD 5.1 rip of the theatrical cut.
One thing I noticed, while editing the picture and comparing to the soundtrack: ADYWANS Thetrical Version was on the first half 2 frames and later 4 frames off sync.
So I checekd carefully every instance so the sound is now completely in sync to the laserdisc soundtrack.
So, basically I am finished with this, doing it only for my "pleasure".. or rather SW-Archive.
I have yet to export the project and make a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray..
But, since I am also often visitor to originaltrilogy.com I thought, maybe some of you may have some interest in this.
If so, then maybe I could share it with one of you, and you upload it to one of your places, where I usually don't operate.. ;)
And... I also have a question:
The HD Broadcast of Episode I is a 720p about 4gb file.
It's not too bad, but also not really great.
Does anyone have by any chance a larger file of the HD-Broadcast (not the Blu-Ray Rip!)?
That would definitely help out to make the quality better!
All the best,
This post has been edited.

Yet another thrilling book month! Although, to be honest, a lot of the books I'm excited about are not new releases. Still--let's do a quick run-down of October's exciting (to me) new releases. Most of them came out last week, but I haven't read them yet, so I don't have to writhe in anxious anticipation.
The Far West, by Patricia C. Wrede. You remember The Thirteenth Child and Across the Great Barrier, of course, because I loved them so much. I think this is the last one in the series, and I can't wait--one of the best things about this series is the real danger and excitement of discovery, and I really hope Eff spends most of this book out West. Oddly, the book was out in print about three months ago, but not as an ebook till now. I actually bought this the day it came out; I was that excited.
I think I have loyalty issues surrounding Redoubt: Book 4 of the Collegium Chronicles, by Mercedes Lackey. I mean, you can't say these books are good--as I keep saying, I aged out of Valdemar ages ago, and I'm starting to suspect the author did, too. I read the first sentence of the sample and I cringe a little. But I know--I know--that when I dig in and start reading it, the super-organization and competence of everyone in these books is just going to knock me backwards. And of course, Mags is going to think everyone hates him and turn his back on them at some point. But on the way, we'll learn about the super-organized dining hall system at the Collegium, or the forensic investigation units in the City Guard. I love it when a fantasy author gets fed up with the medieval world they've modeled their own world on for not being innovative.
The Twelve, by Justin Cronin, is the sequel to his first book, The Passage. I started out loving that book and ended up really liking it. It read like early Stephen King--perhaps a bit ambitions, especially toward the end when our characters start traveling, but a great balance of forward motion and character development, with effectively scary bad guys. I have some strong suspicions about what's going to happen in this next book, at least in broad strokes. My only fear is that it's going to be hugely long, and I'll need to invest myself when it's time to dive in. I have a hard time with commitment.
Son, by Lois Lowry--after all this time, another book in The Giver series! I have to admit, I didn't love Messenger all that much--I can't really remember the details, but I remember not really getting the details even just after I finished it, and not really finding the ending very satisfying. But Lois Lowry is so awesome, and the various worlds/societies in this series are so interesting and different, I can't wait to see what else she does with it.
Beautiful Music for Ugly Children, by Kirstin Cronn-Mills, first hit my radar because of Netgalley, where I get my publisher's galleys. This is proof that they're doing a solid thing for the publishers, because I got excited about this title. I wasn't given a copy for review, though--don't blame them; I suspect this publisher sticks with outlets that really follow their demographic--which means I'm now going to have to buy the book. And I will, if the sample's any good--I'm really interested in transgender issues, and the description makes this sound like a sad, hopeful novel.
Whenever I do one of these, it seems to be mostly sequels. I guess it's partly because everyone's writing sequels these days, and partly because I mostly get excited about a book because I've read the author before. Still, I am just drowning in exciting new books by authors I haven't read--many of which, I'm ashamed to say, have been on my to-read list forever. Still, I soldier on. Really, it's quite remarkably. I understand now why you admire me so much.

WASHINGTON — Jeff Hornacek delved into “Trust The Process” mode at the Friday morning shootaround.
Hornacek invoked the name of Sixers coach Brett Brown, the practitioner of the Sixers’ multi-year tank job, in trying to find the right balance this season.
It’s the first time the Knicks coach overtly acknowledged there may not be a slew of victories attached to the 2017-18 season and mentioned the dreaded word “process.’’
Since 2013-14, the Sixers, with their now-famous “Trust The Process’’ motto, have gone 19-63, 18-64, 10-72, and 28-54 last season. NBA commissioner Adam Silver has changed the lottery format for 2019’s draft in response to tanking franchises such as the Sixers.
After Carmelo Anthony was traded two weeks ago the Knicks’ over-under on victories in Las Vegas’ Westgate Superbook dropped from 30.5 to 29.5.
Hornacek was asked at the shootaround before facing the Wizards about the new regime’s failure to talk up competing for a playoff spot and instead emphasizing their young core’s development. The 2018 lottery is expected to be star-studded at the top, led by Michael Porter Jr. and Luka Doncic.
“It may be a slower process, but our guys are working hard to do the best we can,’’ Hornacek said at Capital One Arena. “You got to find the combination. Brett Brown has figured out a good way to do that. It’s hard as a coach because you want to win. You understand the process you have to go through.
“You try to not sacrifice what you’re trying to do to build just to win some games. Obviously you want to win, but you have to find that balance. You can’t get frustrated. You got to keep the team going, and when teams are going through that process, it’s hard, but you got to stay positive.’’
After four straight non-playoff seasons, Anthony said earlier this week in Oklahoma he lost the ”joy” and “motivation’’ playing in New York.“That feeling is back. That joy is being happy out there on the court, being excited, being motivated to be out on the court again is back for me,’’ Anthony said. “That feeling is back for me.’’
Hornacek was asked if he noticed Anthony had lost motivation last season.
“You can take what you want from Carmelo’s statements, I don’t know that,’’ Hornacek said. “We’re worried about what our guys are doing now. He’s in a good situation over there in Oklahoma City. We move on with our guys.”
Hornacek did not speak to Anthony after the trade happened. And Hornacek said he hasn’t heard from departed president Phil Jackson in months.
Anthony said Lance Thomas’ glowing tribute in the Players’ Tribune was “good’’ because the Knicks forward knows him “as a person.’’
Thomas, now the longest-tenured Knicks player, wrote an essay citing Anthony’s leadership, friendship and deciding he’ll be missed in the New York locker room.
“I talk to Lance every day,’’ Anthony said. “He’s one of my best friends not just in basketball, but in life in general. When I read it – I usually don’t read stuff like that – he texted me (and said) I should read it. It was good. He’s a guy who knows me as a person, more than a basketball player. He was coming from a more personal perspective friendship perspective, from a man’s perspective outside the basketball realm.”

Veteran Lafitte speckled trout and redfish guide Maurice d’Aquin took a break from cutting sheetrock and clearing debris from his house in early August, 2021 to have a look at what Hurricane Ida had done to some of his favorite fishing spots.
What he found stunned and upset him almost as much as the three feet of mud left by Ida he was trying to shovel and till in his yard.
“I went to a shoreline on the west end of Little Lake, a spot where I had caught nice redfish all spring and summer and it was completely gone,” d’Aquin said. “I went to the exact mark on my GPS where I was casting to redfish along a shoreline and had to go across about 700 yards of open water before my trolling motor even touched mud.”
What d’Aquin has found by boat across the upper reaches of Barataria Bay, especially on the western and northern stretches of Little Lake, has been confirmed by aerial surveys by Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and satellite images gathered by the United States Geological Survey. Hurricane Ida’s 150 mile per hour-plus winds scoured and decimated Louisiana’s coastal marshes in ways not seen since Hurricane Katrina removed an estimated 200 square miles in 2005.
Early indications are 106 square miles of marshes washed away or were displaced by Ida’s savage winds and 10-foot storm surge. The damage was spread across areas of Plaquemines and St. Bernard Parish east of the Mississippi River all the way west through Terrebonne Parish.
Bearing the brunt
The Barataria Basin bore the brunt of Ida’s fury. Marshes west and south of Empire in lower Plaquemines and Jefferson Parish that never recovered from Katrina were decimated again by Ida, taking what little was left in areas closer to the Gulf of Mexico and damaging recently-restored barrier islands. It’s the extensive damage in the northern reaches of the Barataria system, however, that has coastal wetlands experts and fisheries biologists most concerned.
“The whole Barataria Basin is only about 700 square miles, so to lose about 100 of those in one event like Hurricane Ida is significant and stunning,” said Brian Lezina, Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s Chief of Planning. “There’s a chance some of it will come back. The marsh can heal itself in time if the resources are there and vegetation regrows. But we won’t know how much will recover for a few years.”
Lezina said much of the marsh damage was in areas where organic materials and lighter silt make up the soils. Some of it was flotant, which is marsh that roots in decaying vegetation floating above the organic soils beneath. Ida scattered the uprooted marshes and light, organic mud, filling in nearby canals and fouling Lake Salvador and Cataouatche and shoving mud and grass into and under houses from upper Plaquemines Parish west into Jefferson and Lafourche.
Organic soil marshes and flotant are much more susceptible to wave action and erosion than marshes east of the Mississippi River and closer to the mouth of the Atchafalaya River that get annual sediment deposits with heavier clays and sand. They also lack the ability to repair themselves in the same way as areas that get sediment replenished annually from the rivers.
Resources to repair the marsh are often hard to come by in areas far removed from water and sediment from the rivers. Lezina said the CPRA and federal partners are evaluating the best options to try to repair some of the damage. He’s optimistic some regeneration will occur through a combination of natural processes and dredging projects.
“You have the Davis Pond Diversion nearby and the Intracoastal Canal that both can carry some water and sediment into the badly-damaged areas,” he said. “The sediments are being reworked all the time by waves and current. If the submerged vegetation grows back in shallow areas, it can help capture some of that sediment. And we’re looking closely at what resources can be directed into the area to help recapture some of the sediment.”
Effect on fisheries
Chris Schieble, a marine fisheries biologist with Louisiana’s Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, said the exact long-term effects of the dramatic marsh losses from Ida on fisheries production are hard to predict. However, as more organic soils and marsh “edge” are lost to storms, daily wave action and sinking of the land below the water line (called “subsidence”) that is eating away at the Barataria and other basins across Louisiana, fisheries production is certain to decline.
“It’s the organic materials and rotting vegetation called detritus that feeds the food chain in areas that don’t get a lot of sediment and freshwater input from the Mississippi River,” Schieble said. “Areas where the fresh and saltwater mix more east of the river and near the Atchafalaya River, the food chain starts with phytoplankton. But, in organic soils, the ones that look like coffee grounds, it’s the nutrient leeching out of the soil that makes up the base, feeds the forage fish and ultimately the predators like speckled trout and redfish.”
In the short term, marsh loss from storms can cause an increase in fisheries production and lead to more catches of speckled trout and redfish as fish orient to newly created and exposed edge habitats, shallow flats and washouts where tidal flows concentrate baitfish.
D’Aquin said he’s seen that firsthand in areas damaged by Ida.
“The storm opened up some new cuts along the shoreline in Lake Salvador where water is flowing in from the Intracoastal Waterway,” he said. “We caught a lot of redfish in the early fall in those washouts.”
In the long-term, however, the profound loss of marsh and organic materials will inevitably lead to a decline in fisheries production as nutrient levels drop and vital nursery grounds for juvenile shrimp, crabs, mullet and other forage is lost. Lezina and Schieble both said the Barataria Basin and other areas hardest hit by wetland loss over the last century will reach a tipping point where the benefits of new edge habitat created by storms will be outweighed by the habitat and nutrient loss and the conversion to open water.
“We may already be at that tipping point in the Barataria Basin,” Schieble said. “If you look at the time of year when Ida hit, it’s a time where we would be seeing redfish larvae recruit into the marsh and white shrimp developing in those marshes. The redfish might have been displaced or not recruited into that marsh at all. Ida’s path and destruction couldn’t have been worse for our recreational and commercial fisheries. Productivity and access have taken a big hit.”
Anglers have to adapt
The extreme changes in habitat have also altered where anglers and guides have had to focus their efforts since the storm. Many guides and recreational fishermen have also noted a change in the size and number of fish they’ve been catching.
Capt. Joe DiMarco has been fishing east and west of the Mississippi River out of Buras for more than three decades. He said the habitat loss and the fishing on the east side of the river is far different than what he’s seeing west of the river after Ida.
“The east side didn’t take nearly the beating we are seeing to the west where a lot of the smaller cane islands and humps where we caught trout last year are now gone,” DiMarco said. “We see some damage on the east side on the edge of Black Bay, but nothing like on the west. The storm seems to have pushed in a lot of big redfish too. Seems like we are catching many more 27-35 inch redfish way up in the marsh than we are 16-27 inch fish.”
D’Aquin said he’s having to relearn to fish his home waters around Lafitte in the same way he did after Katrina 16 years ago.
“Canals where we caught speckled trout during the winter are almost completely filled in and islands and peninsulas where we were catching trout and reds in the past are gone,” he said. “Just like after Katrina, we are seeing fish that are stressed and we are having to make adjustments. The fish and the marsh suffered just like the communities hit by the storm. But just like the communities are coming back slowly so are the fish. Each day gets a little bit better.”

possable ich and more.with pics
ok my set up,
4 african ciclids
2 red devil ciclids
2 unkown type ciclids
2 bala sharks
1 bumble bee cat fish
1 cat shark/columbian catfish
1 rainbow shark
1 pelco sucker
55 gallon fresh water tank,no plants,2 fake tunnel log decor,1 fake coral looking decor,aqua clear 110 filter.2 200 watt aqua clear heaters, current temp 78deg faren,rock bottom,2 15 in air bars and 1 duel port 2800cc pump.30% water change every monday,every other monday full tank cleaning,walls gravel.once month change carbon.
i read the thread about 5 posts down and he has different kinds of fish so i dont kno if this changes anything.
issue.1. both of my bala sharks are covered in salt like substance which has lead me to believe that it is ich.just saw this 4 days ago.whats the easiest way to cure this with out meds?i have also noticed that they go nuts up against the wall like they are trying to escape is this normal? this i dont have a pic for sorry.
issue.2. of my ciclids is directly under the filter almost side up like he is having problems swiming.
one of my other african ciclids the purple one is what seems to be like eating the mucas off of the rainbow ciclid.is this normal or because of the ich in the tank.
eats this one
the cure for ich is heat. ich has trouble breeding above temps of 85. so adjust temp of your tank to 87 and keep it there for 14 days. this will break the lifecycle. keep your gravel well vacuumed as this is where ich mostly stays when its not on a fish. fyi, warmer water has less oxygen, so turn your bubbler up. btw what do you consider full tank cleaning?
if theyre visibly miserable from the ich you can give them a salt dip and that seems to make them feel better for a while. ill tell you how if you want to know.
[QUOTE=92smokeaccord;1108429]yes please.and i did my temp last night its curently at 85 over 12 or so hrs[/QUOTE i put 2 teaspoons of salt( table salt worked fine for me.)in a bowl then fill it most of the way to top with tank water. net the fish and leaving them in the net set it in the bowl . let them soak for 15 minutes. then lift them out and return to tank. it instantly improves gill function and the parasites hate it.
thanks i gave one of my fish a salt dip ans he seemed to like it..he is usually very active but in the bowl he was chill..left him in there till all the salt dissolved took bout 20 mins or so.ever scince then he been cool back to his old self.
killed it with heat and api salt!! thanks

I am still not sure what to make of Occupy Raw from last week. On the one hand, I thought the execution of the segment was good as it finally had Daniel Bryan getting a leg up on Triple H and left The Authority with egg on their face (even if momentary). However, I am not sure about the repercussions. The biggest one being the stipulation that if Bryan wins, he is inserted into the title match at Wrestlemania. On the surface, it makes it seem like his victory against Triple H is a foregone conclusion. Does the WWE (and more specifically Triple H), feel that this telegraphs Bryan’s victory too much and instead they should surprise everyone and have Bryan come up short? Does Triple H put forward that having the unexpected happen be what’s “best for business” (and coincidentally, his legacy by not losing to the little goat-faced troll)?
I feel it is a legitimate concern. Remember, from the rumor mills circulating, Triple H was scheduled to face CM Punk at Wrestlemania with Bryan taking on a heel Sheamus. While most fans were viewing Bryan on a hero’s quest against management that started at SummerSlam and would culminate at Wrestlemania, Vince McMahon and company only saw him as a minor storyline compared to the huge event of the return of Batista. They may be calling the audible to insert Bryan into the title match, or they may feel that giving the hope he will be is sufficient for the audience to shut up and take what they are given. Just be prepared for the worst. If the worst does happen, I encourage everyone attending Wrestlemania to leave as Orton and Batista make their way to ringside. Remember, silence can speak volumes.
Huge response last week to my column looking at the issues with women’s wrestling in the WWE and my proposals to improving them. Many people agreeing with my assessment and desire to see women treated as real competitors. Some felt they were very basic suggestions, but with the current state the division is in, they have to be. A lot of people agree that there is very little chance of significant change until at least Vince McMahon dies and no longer is forcing his view of women as the standard for the company. I do apologize for the sloppiness of my editing last week. Just goes to show when you are a morning person, do not try editing your work at 10:30pm. When I went back and read it after it was posted, there were some glaring typos, hanging thoughts, and poorly worded opinions. The most significant issue being that I seemed to leave the impression that I do not think that “attractive women” are capable of being wrestlers. That was not what I was trying to go with. The crux of my argument was that talent should be the first deciding factor, not looks. I feel that there should be a multitude of body types (just like with the men). However, to again just hire a woman because she is big and not paying attention to her talent is no better than hiring a skinny model who equally does not know the difference between a wristlock and a wristwatch.
Case in point, my wife and I did sit down and watch the Paige vs. Emma title match from NXT Arrival and were blown away. My wife likes Paige and Emma as while attractive and skinny, they are extremely talented. She likes Emma’s klutzy personality that goes away when competing (something that they have not allowed her to effectively show on Raw and Smackdown), and she is blown away by Paige’s talent. She really loved Paige the moment she hit the ramp for the match. As she pointed out, Paige had this look as she paused at the ramp that is reminiscent of many of the men. Paige stood there, looking at Emma in the ring and had the look of determination to beat her opponent. She was a competitor. What was great about the match was something one commentator lamented on was the lack of real rivalries in the women’s division of the WWE. Paige and Emma are both faces, but they (and the commentary) sold that neither liked each other and were determined to beat one another to claim the belt. One of the best moments was just before the end sequence when Emma had Paige in yet another submission hold and is screaming “Give up, Paige! Just give up!” Emma, the space cadet. It sold the importance of the match, the bad blood between the two, and the legitimacy of the two women as wrestlers.
Speaking of the commentary, it was some of the most refreshing I have heard in ages in professional wrestling. Now that I have learned I do not need to subscribe to Hulu or the WWE Network to watch it, I plunged into some more NXT goodness. Next week, David Spain will get his wish as I will tackle the issue of the commentary within the WWE. I just need to do a little more binge watching before I immortalize my conclusions.
Can’t Beat Him? Replace Him
We are back into more traditional fantasy booking this week. After finding Emma vs. Paige, I went and watched all of NXT Arrival. I was blown away by Sami Zayn vs. Cesaro for the opening bout. Zayn is amazing and this was my first view of him. As a more casual fan versus other writers on this site, I have not seen his Ring of Honor work as El Generico. I’ve read write-ups of his matches and his name and gimmick I felt was a great idea. He proves however, he does not need the mask to sell himself. After wrapping up Arrival, I went and watched a few more of his matches and some of his promo work. It got me thinking on the most effective way of bringing him up to the main roster (which he is more than ready for).
I take you now to about mid to late June of this year. Daniel Bryan has fulfilled his quest and captured the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. He fought off Orton and Batista in a grueling hardcore-style match at Extreme Rules, and then withstood the power of the Animal in a one-on-one match at Payback. With each victory, the Yes Movement continues it ferocity of vocal support for Bryan. One would think that three months of this would be enough to satisfy The Authority that Bryan is a A-list talent. Of course not (otherwise where would be the conflict, or the reason for Triple H to still be on our television).
Also immediately following Wrestlemania, Sami Zayn makes his debut on the main roster. He wows the crowds with his moves and puts on some stunning matches. There are also several backstage vignettes featuring Zayn and Bryan. The first is the two meeting and Zayn talking about how Bryan as champion gives him hope, since they both cut their teeth on the global and independent circuit. If someone like Bryan can become champion, surely Zayn can. The two talk about keeping an eye on each other’s business, and on an occasion or two tag together.
Following Payback, Triple H makes it known that he is still not happy with Bryan in the position as champion. He still thinks of the Yes Movement as a flash in the pan and that while business is booming for the moment, it is just a fad, like Tamagochi (come on, you know the WWE will use a way-outdated reference to make the point). Triple H is all about finding talent that can sustain a crescendo; talent that will lead to the next Hulkamania, the next “people’s champion,” or the next Cenation. One night, Triple H puts Bryan in a gauntlet match to test the Yes Movement against a series of competitors he feels has the potential for that kind of momentum. After taking on a series of opponents that include Cesaro, and Alexander Rusev, the opponents surround the ring, looking to gang up on Bryan. The champ stands alone, but the crowd erupts as Zayn runs down the ramp and slides into the ring to join his inspiration. Only Zayn instead nails Bryan with his version of a superkick followed by the Blue Thunder Bomb.
The next Raw, Triple H comes out and talks about how his quest is over. He has found the perfect face for the company and the next craze in professional wrestling that will last for decades. He introduces the leader of the Ole Initiative, Sami Zayn. Zayn comes out, his beard a little tighter trimmed, and looking sharp in a three-piece suit. Triple H puts over how Zayn is absolutely perfect for every possible demographic for a company like WWE. He is Canadian and of Arabic descent, therefore giving him instant international appeal. He started out wrestling in high school gyms and bingo halls therefore he gets the thumbs up from the internet crowd who live in their parent’s basements. Further, he has a beard, which will appeal to all the Bryan fans. Zayn, unlike Bryan though, has the look of a champion. He is the right height, has a better body, and has the face that actually makes women swoon, and men envious. This naturally brings Bryan out to confront a guy he thought had his back as he promised to help. Zayn retorts Bryan is helping him. It is because of Bryan that Zayn after only a few months is on the fast track to being champion. It’s just not how Bryan thought the help would play out.
From there, a bitter feud emerges between two as the Ole Initiative is pushed to oversaturation in an effort to counteract the Yes Movement. T-shirts, signs, and endless discussion by announcers and The Authority look to make it a household term. Bryan and Zayn though are kept apart from physical confrontation. Zayn continues to compete with stealing the show from Bryan, determined to upstage him at every turn, and gets every chance to do so with the backing of The Authority. Zayn is entered and wins Money in the Bank. Bryan himself continues to take whatever challenges are thrown his way, including having to fight off Bray Wyatt for his WWE Title at Money in the Bank.
At SummerSlam, it is déjà vu for Bryan. After a grueling match against Brock Lesnar for the Title, he stands victorious in the ring, only to have his music interrupted by Zayn’s, who walks out with the briefcase. Zayn makes his way to the ring, and stands toe-to-toe with Bryan, smiling and teasing handing it to referee. Instead, he announces that The Authority felt it more fitting to wait and have Zayn crowned at Night of Champions, therefore he puts Bryan on notice that the countdown to the changeover has officially begun.
For the next three weeks, Zayn launches full-scale psychological warfare against Bryan, backed by the Authority. He tag-teams with Kane, he challenges and beats John Cena (with some shenanigans), and takes out Sheamus in a match in under 18-seconds. All the while, Zayn hangs around ringside or on the ramp whenever Bryan has a match. The Titantron even starts showing a “Countdown to Changeover” Clock (which also is presented on screen), ticking off the time until the match at Night of Champions. The match eventually comes and the two finally face off after four months of circling. The match itself brings the house down, but Bryan claims victory with a running knee that echoes throughout the arena.
The Authority is not happy with the outcome naturally, and immediately books the two in a rematch for Battleground. Given the short time between the pay-per-views, management looks to run Bryan ragged having him compete in match after match on every show, while Zayn is given only a couple of “tune-ups.” In another breathtaking, show stealing affair, Bryan again comes out victorious, but his victory is short-lived as once again, he is greeted by the specter of Lesnar, looking to lock the champion in the Hell in the Cell. Zayn on the other hand is shuttled down by management, feeling he was given too much too soon. He easily captures the WWE Intercontinental Title and takes on a bitter persona looking to hurt his opponents and climb his way back to the top of the company.
The inspiration for this storyline is a blend of the 1998 Corporate Rock with MeccaRabbi’s comment from two weeks ago suggesting CM Punk return to Raw in Chicago only to turn on Bryan and go corporate sell out. When I watched Zayn, I could see him being used as a “Corporate Bryan.” He has the beard and the moves, but also has a little more of the look that the WWE likes. He’s not an instant pretty boy, but they could do a couple of minor things to give him a more clean cut look such as having him wax his chest and do a little bit of a spray tan for that unnatural glow they feel their champions need. Is it far-fetched for them to take someone from their developmental system that is not a monster and slot him into the main event? Yes it is, but it is also different and it plays off the idea of The Authority going a new route in dealing with Bryan. They tried their prototypes of champions and failed, so instead they go with someone like Bryan, but more willing to play their game. There is a risk of this meteoric rise and collapse leading to Zayn’s burial, but I think there is an easy route to avoiding this. Like I said above, have him immediately win the Intercontinental Title, to show he is elite and hold it for an extended time, beating everyone viciously, looking to show that he has what it takes. From there, it is a matter of letting him climb back up, hopefully to an actual WWE Title run. With his skills, the fans will rally and support him. It is then up to the company and use him to his full potential and not squander it (cough Ziggler cough).

Spending in Research and Development in Selected Countries The Peace Agreement sought to establish an agenda of public policies to develop the country and reduce inequality, emphasizing social policies targeted to those who were historically marginalized indigenous and rural populations.
The debate about the policy reform agenda There is a consensus internationally that the most immediate challenge for Guatemala is improving the provision of public goods, which almost unavoidably requires overcoming strong domestic opposition to increasing tax collection. Growth and Inclusion in Guatemala 57 The infrastructure sector as a halfway house The infrastructure sector in Guatemala is a clear example ieja incomplete liberalization and reform.
In addition to the relatively low penetration, the supply of guatejala telephony services is still highly concentrated in metropolitan areas, especially around Guatemala City, where about 70 percent of fixed lines are currently installed.
Inconstitucionalidad Guatemala by Estefani LM on Prezi
Domestic mechanisms are currently regulated by the Arbitrage Law, Decree Informality and investment growth Measuring the informal economy is difficult. The most obvious effect of governance on growth in Guatemala is the deterioration in underlying growth potential in the early eighties at the height of the internal conflict, followed by a recovery in growth potential after the transition to democracy. Ie,a the absence of a strategy for the development of telecommunications in rural areas, the existing framework has served the country well, facilitating and accelerating sector development at exceptional rates.
In fact, there are two guatrmala issues that need to be resolved: The third wave of reforms, starting in the late nineties increased the participation of the private sector gyatemala infrastructure and modernized the regulatory framework.
Risk of expropriation 2.
Ingresos by Jorge Luis Orozco De Leon on Prezi
In Central America, only Honduras was ranked below Guatemala in position 76 –then the rest of the region ranks higher than Guatemala. Other indicators, such as the intake rate, primary completion, ratio of pupils to teachers, etc. Growth and Inclusion in Guatemala 54 Figure Klinger and Lederman Figure It is worth highlighting that the Pacto Fiscal is now emphasizing transparency in fiscal policy, especially with regard to expenditures, to complement tax reforms.
Use of mediation and arbitrage services is increasing and many business contracts now include the possibility of using alternative conflict resolution mechanisms. The Peace Agreement as a milestone The civil strife ended in with the signing of a Peace Agreement. Guatemala has also signed several investment protection and promotion agreements, including with France in ; Belgium, Chile and Taiwan R. Nevertheless, informal capital accumulation held its ground even after the reversal of private capital accumulation in the formal sector in the late nineties.
Well the private sector has in fact reacted, as the very high private sector share in total enrollment in secondary education shows. It appears that countries in this cluster simply share as a common characteristic that financial markets are well developed.
To answer this question we first compare the current situation in Guatemala with two alternative set of comparable countries: It could be that schooling drives growth or that growth drives schooling increasing the effective return to schooling.
The same holds true with respect to the stock of lending and broad money relative to GDP, as Guatemala reports marginally favorable results relative to a fairly large pool of comparator countries. The difference seems to be the methodological approach.
Growth and Inclusion in Guatemala 67 The role of service exports There is a consensus in Guatemala that focusing on trade in services amounts to a significant paradigm shift in thinking about international trade. From a public gautemala perspective, bare identification of binding constraints is insufficient. An incomplete framework for doing business It can be argued that an incomplete framework for doing business distorts the allocation of resources.
Ranking in worst relative pillar situation and Income Level 5th pillar: Growth and Inclusion in Guatemala 49 other than Spanish is a disadvantage in a Spanish-based tuatemala system and formal sector of the economy.
Tearing Down the Walls: Growth and Inclusion in Guatemala
Growth and Inclusion in Guatemala ghatemala C. With regard to the first one, it is also the case that the terms of financing in Guatemala are somewhat better than the typical case within the corresponding country group. For similar reasons, it should not be expected that the CAFTA-DR will quickly lead to a significant qualitative or quantitative change in the level or composition of exports in the short-run.
The long conflict deepened historical divisions, thwarted institutional development and weakened governance. Harberger Low Growth Growth and Inclusion in Guatemala 41 attained at the expense of reducing the quality of education. Growth and Inclusion in Guatemala 80 39 Table Tourism, call centers, guayemala process outsourcing and medical services hold great developmental potential. However, it must be recognized that cyclical appreciation of the real exchange rate could indeed slow down export growth in the short-run, at least in the absence of processes or mechanisms meant to counteract the impact of the appreciation.
Unfortunately, the Plan was temporarily shelved after falling victim to the complex political environment prevailing in Guatemala. For more information refer to the Informal Economy and institutional analysis presented in this document.

You probably know Chris Douridas from Los Angeles’ iconic, trend-setting radio station KCRW. He was the host of Morning Becomes Eclectic in the ’90s. He has been at the station for about 30 years. Chris is someone who has hired most of the staff that we know at KCRW and is an extremely influential figure in the Los Angeles music scene. Chris also started the premiere music showcase, School Night. He is also a music supervisor and was nominated for a Grammy award for his work on American Beauty and has music supervised a number of films, including the Austin Powers trilogy and Shrek 2.
Chris and I discuss how he listens music and what it takes for what it takes for him to play a new song on his radio show. We also talk about how he puts together the music for films he’s working on. Chris also shares a hilarious story about his first time on air as a radio DJ.

So I have been cataloging a few of my all time favorite songs. I never box myself into a corner by numbering them 1-15 or whatever, but THIS SONG IS AMAZING. If you are having a bad day or a problems with the spouse, you will be instantly happy after watching this video. I asked Dave to take me anywhere in the world that Bon Jovi was playing this year for our 25th anniversary. Sadly they are not touring this year, but I will be going to a concert the next go round.

I figured that if I wrote to them saying "I forgot my password, please mail it to me," that would be too obvious. Instead, at the time I had set up shop with these hosting companies, I entered a domain name at the time of creating my account, and asked them to register it on my behalf (long before I had this experiment in mind). Then when I wrote to them recently from my Hotmail address, I sent each of them a message saying: I need to transfer this domain somewhere else, can you give me the login at the registrar where you registered the domain, so I can change the domain settings. Five of the ten companies either (a) gave me the registrar login, (b) transferred the domain to my registrar account on request (even though I never provided any proof that the owner of that registrar account was really me, either), or (c) changed the domain to point to a new IP address that I specified -- all of which, of course, would allow an attacker to take over a site temporarily or even permanently, if it hadn't really been me writing from the Hotmail address.
But slow down before you go off to try this out on Yahoo, eBay or Google hoping to get the same 50% success rate. First, these were all low-budget hosting companies, so the people handling my queries were likely not highly trained professionals who would have developed all the right habits about when to get suspicious. Second, this ruse only worked because the hosting companies registered the domains on my behalf. Most sites that are really worth taking over, are hosted on dedicated servers, and this trick wouldn't work on a dedicated hosting company because they usually don't register domains on behalf of customers; they assume that anybody buying an expensive dedicated server, knows enough to buy the domain and point it at the server that the company gives them.
But even for small-time hosting, a 50% success rate for a trick like this is uncomfortably high. So what can we do about it? Well, every problem has a non-solution that requires changing human nature ("People should just stop buying from spammers and they'd go out of business!") and a non-solution that ignores the economics of the situation ("ISPs should devote more resources to stopping spammers on their own network!"). In this case, the corresponding non-solutions would be (a) "People who work for hosting companies should be less gullible" and (b) "ISPs should hire smarter people, without charging more to their hosting customers".
The solution that doesn't require any cheating, though, is to have procedures in place for anything remotely security-related, and drum into employees' heads that they have to follow those procedures. Here's some good news: Of the five companies that fell for the ruse asking for my registrar login information, when I followed up with them saying "Hey, I forgot my account password, can you mail it to me", only two of them actually sent my password to the Hotmail account. To those two, I replied with some terse words about having a six-inch-thick steel door while leaving the window wide open. But at least it was only two out of ten that fell for that ruse, compared to five out of ten that fell for the registrar trick. The difference is that hosting companies have procedures in place to deal with password resets -- a script that sends the existing password, or sends a reset-password link, only to the customer's e-mail address on file.
Similarly, any hosting company that registers domains on behalf of users, should have procedures in place for transferring the domains to users or letting them change domain settings. In fact, of the five companies that didn't fall for the ruse, most of them said "Go to the customer control panel here and log in" -- it wasn't that their guard went up because I was writing from a Hotmail account, it was that they already had procedures in place for a customer wanting to change domain settings, and what's what the idiot-proof book told them to do. Kevin Mitnick always said that the weakest link in any security chain was people. Sometimes the way for ISPs to tighten security is to make the people in the chain act more like machines.
Until then, there are probably many sites out there that are this easy to "hack", using a method that could charitably be called low-tech. After seeing which hosting companies fell for the trick, I pointed out that they had sent the login information to an unverified address and admonished them to be more careful in the future, but I didn't storm out vowing to take all of my business elsewhere -- after all, if 50% of all low-budget hosting companies out there fall for this, what would be the point?

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Visit KC, the chief hospitality sales and marketing organization for the region, announced today the relocation of its business operations to Spark Kansas City, a collaborative workspace in the heart of the Power & Light District.
Spark KC, a two-story, entrepreneurial community, opened in September at 1475 Walnut inside Two Light Luxury Apartments. With Visit KC’s 10-year lease, almost 54% of space within Spark is now leased to small businesses, creators and innovators.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic dealt a dramatic blow to the tourism industry, so Visit KC has used the last several months as an opportunity to enhance its support to the local community and plan strategically for the future, said Visit KC President & CEO Jason Fulvi. Following staffing reductions and the support of grants and other relief aid, the organization looks to begin 2021 on a positive note with a new location and the return of Kansas City Restaurant Week, occurring Jan. 8-17 citywide.
“Today marks an exciting new chapter for Visit KC. In addition to maintaining our dedication to Downtown and its growing entrepreneurial scene, our relocation to Spark will allow Visit KC to right-size our operating footprint and streamline overhead costs so that we may continue our commitment as good stewards of public dollars,” said Fulvi. “We are incredibly grateful to Nick Benjamin and the entire Cordish team for their continued advocacy and support of our organization over the years. The new partnership with Spark will allow us to adapt and grow in the months and years ahead as the hospitality and tourism sectors continue on the road to recovery.”
Since 2015, the group’s headquarters have been housed at 1321 Baltimore Avenue, a space also leased by the Power & Light District. While its business offices relocate to Spark immediately, work has also begun to secure a new, more prominent location for a visitor information center within the Power & Light District on Main Street, allowing the organization to engage with the public once safety and health protocols allow.
The Power & Light District is experiencing tremendous growth, in both residential and office leasing. The addition of Spark KC inside Two Light has provided the District with another attractive asset to bring residents and workforce to Downtown.
“2020 has been an extremely challenging year for downtown on many fronts, but nonetheless there are many reasons for optimism as we turn the page to 2021,” said Nick Benjamin, Executive Director for the Kansas City Power & Light District. “Among those reasons are the continued success of One Light and Two Light throughout the pandemic as well as the fantastic start Spark KC has gotten off to. Having Visit KC as an anchor tenant will only add fuel to Spark’s early success, and we couldn’t be happier to be continuing what has been a long lasting, multi-faceted and successful partnership with Visit KC.”
Visit KC joins the Spark community of entrepreneurs and small businesses made up of various industries including home automation, health & wellness, marketing, healthcare information technology and more. A majority of Spark’s members are KC natives, which coincides with Visit KC’s passion and excitement for the city and its growth. The local flair reverberates throughout the space with a variety of artwork either created by Kansas City locals or inspired by Kansas City innovators and creators.
Spark KC is the second collaborative community for Spark Coworking, which launched its inaugural location in the heart of downtown Baltimore, Maryland, in 2016. Spark's community and hospitality focused mission has been key in the growth of the coworking communities in Maryland and Missouri, and it now home to more than 185 small businesses, totaling more than 550 individual members in a diverse community of solo entrepreneurs to midsized startups.
“Providing organizations with community, hospitality and flexibility—pillars that truly allow their teams to work smarter—is at the heart of Spark Coworking's mission of being a catalyst for advancing entrepreneurship," said Shervonne Cherry, Director of Community and Partnerships for Spark Coworking. "Visit KC is a strong economic development driver for the region and a welcoming beacon to new Kansas Citians and KC natives growing their businesses. We are proud to welcome such a dynamic KC organization into the Spark community."
Though Visit KC commences operations in its new space today, the non-profit’s 27-person team continues to maintain a flexible telecommuting work schedule. For more information about the organization and all there is to see and do in Kansas City, go VisitKC.com.

Why is mineral balance important?
There are many minerals that play an important role in human physiology and these MUST be obtained in the nutrition, as our body does not manufacture them.
The 4 primary minerals, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium need to be balanced appropriately for the brain and central nervous system, made of the sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomous nervous systems, to operate properly. The autonomous central nervous system in particular is responsible for the regulation of most of our major organs and an imbalance here usually results, in the long run, in a malfunction of one organ or another, sometimes even the brain can be affected.
Our body has a mineral composition that is surprisingly similar to that of unpolluted open sea water. Apart from the primary minerals, sea water contains some 80+ additional elements in trace quantities. Although it had not been fully recognized in the past, it now appears that that these trace elements are ALL used by our physiology in various ways, to build strong cells and to foster an effective cellular repair mechanism as we live our lives.
For example, plants that are fed only sodium chloride (common table salt) soon wilt and die. But plants that are fertilized with diluted sea water only, will thrive and grow strong. Our physiology is much more complex than that of plants, but our body does have an important vegetative component and the use of diluted sea water to flavor our food and to drink can often result in wonderful healings. Without proper balance of primary and trace minerals it is not possible to obtain smooth functioning of our physiology.
How does mineral imbalance affect my health?
We can count as many as 10 different metabolic imbalances in human physiology and in each of these, a mineral imbalance usually plays a role, be it direct or indirect. A brief description of these imbalances is given at http://www.royalrife.com/hbal.html and many tests are discussed to detect these imbalances.
One famous such test would be to find out what is the pH of the lymph. Unfortunately, the lymph is not easily sampled and so most diagnostics have relied on indirect means such as measuring the pH of the saliva upon first rising in the morning and the pH of the urine through the day.
All 10 of the metabolic imbalances eventually have a profound impact on the health and can result in chronic and ultimately deadly conditions.
In that sense, mineral imbalance is a component of practically every disease condition known to man. Of course, it can take as much as 7 years, under ideal conditions, to completely replace all the cells in the body by new ones. So, it would be naïve to claim that overnight mineral balance will result in overnight healing of all our diseases. But eliminating mineral imbalances is now feasible in relatively short order and should therefore be an integral part of any health regimen, as important as finding clean air and clean water.
What are the general signs of mineral imbalance?
The most general signs of mineral imbalance relate to problems in the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems. Calcium activates the sympathetic system and magnesium inhibits it. Our nutrition is generally devoid of magnesium because it has been leached from the soil and it is not present in dairy products. Since we get plenty of calcium from dairy products, our sympathetic nervous system is generally over stimulated and we often become irritable and excessively prone to fight or flight reactions. Magnesium generally resides in the muscles and once they become depleted of magnesium, while being stimulated by calcium, we often experience muscle twitches that become more noticeable at night when we are trying to rest.
Sodium inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system and potassium stimulates it. One of the functions of this system is to regulate rest and digestion. Our average nutrition supplies a lot of sodium, sometimes 10 times more than necessary and too little potassium, because we eat fewer and fewer vegetables, the main source of potassium. One result of this imbalance is that our society tends to have difficulty with digestion and sleep. This problem is so common that it is now considered "normal" to experience tiredness, sleepiness and fatigue to the extent we do.
Another general sign of mineral imbalances relates to skin tone and skin health. Many skin afflictions simply go away once the primary and trace minerals are brought into balance.
What specific conditions arise from mineral imbalance?
Conditions caused by mineral imbalances include osteoporosis, a prevalent condition that leads people to have weak and brittle bones as they age. In this condition, calcium is leached from the bones in order to maintain the pH of the blood between 7.35 and 7.45. Many studies have shown that this is not healed by simply giving calcium supplements alone. Magnesium and other minerals are needed to properly utilize calcium inside the body and deposit it in the bones.
There are other long term conditions that are believed to ultimately depend on mineral imbalances. One of those is candida overgrowth. Candida is believed to be related to a general lowering of the pH of the lymph system which in turn is accelerated when the alkaline forming minerals, calcium and magnesium are improperly absorbed in the digestive tract.
There are other conditions that occur only in certain individuals as a response to mineral imbalances in the primary and the trace minerals. One of these is psoriasis that responds well when a sufficient quantity of primary and trace minerals is absorbed.
The pH of a newborn baby's lymph is 7.4, the same as the blood pH. During life, the blood pH is accurately maintained at 7.4, and if not, we die within days. Emergency medicine has developed a number of technologies for balancing the blood pH. These methods can be very useful in emergency situations. Because some of us consume relatively too much protein with too little fat, and because our nutrition is unbalanced in minerals, the pH of our lymph gradually decreases as we age.
The national average lymph pH is 6.2, indicating that 94% of the oxygen we had at pH of 7.4 is gone from our lymph. All of our organs are bathed in our lymph and are increasingly stressed as the lymph becomes more acid. Eventually something breaks and we come down with a degenerative disease that is often fatal. For example, dying cancer patients often exhibit a lymph pH around 4.4, indicating that 99.9% of the oxygen is now gone from the lymph. Of course, a decreased lymph pH is not the immediate cause of cancer, itself a very complex disease; but a low lymph pH can make it a lot easier for the cancer to develop and grow in such a low oxygen environment.
Is it possible to maintain sufficient mineral levels without supplementation?
In past civilizations, the answer might have been yes. The soil was rich in dolomite, an abundant source of calcium and magnesium and occasional flooding with sea water would raise the overall mineral levels. Thus vegetables and fruits would contain the minerals that we need, as the roots of the plants would extract them and process them for us.
There are only few places left on Earth where such soil is still available. Our large population has resulted in constant food production on our soils that have become depleted of the minerals they used to contain. Now it has become a practical necessity to supplement our diet with balanced minerals.
I have enjoyed the discussion below of the possibility to transmute elements using the geometry of standing waves.
What I would like to add to this discussion that the work of Dr. Louis Kervran on biological transmutation came to the same conclusion as the Japanese study, namely, there are in-vivo nuclear transmutations performed by living systems that can not be reproduced in-vitro (dead system). The reaction potassium + hydrogen -- Calcium was indeed observed by many workers in the field.
It is believed in some quarters that there are 4 types of biological transmutations among the 4 primary minerals of animal and people, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium. I have illustrated these 4 reactions this way:
My own feeling is that there is a connection between ORMUS matter and biological transmutations. At least my own theory of Variable Energy Quantum Mechanics (VEQM) seems to suggest such a connection. For example, there is the reaction Deuterium + Deuterium -- ORMUS-Deuterium that probably takes place in most cold fusion experiment. The Ormus-deuterium is hard to detect so ordinary deuterium seems to disappear without a trace. Then, Helium formation is not observed and is not necessary in an ORMUS model of cold fusion. The extra heat observed can come from the binding energy released when the two deuteriums form the ORMUS-Deuterium.
The formation of He4 directly would constitute a biological transmutation, which however has never been observed in-vitro.
When a biological transmutation is observed in vivo, it is quite possible that such biological transmutations proceed with some intermediate stage involving ORMUS-elements or ORMUS-molecules mostly as catalysts! It is believed that ORMUS-elements can be chelated in certain enzymes and that when this happens, the enzyme is capable of catalyzing reactions that would be impossible by conventional chemical means.
Here it is worth noting that conventional chemistry decides on the possibility of a reaction strictly on ground of continuous conservation of energy at all stages of the reactions. However, VEQM allows for variations of the conventional total energy during the the processes that are allowed by VEQM.
I believe that we will be learning a great deal more in the next few years about the connection between ORMUS-matter and biological transmutation as observed in the Japanese chicken experiment.

Toshiba launched the 8-inch Encore tablet at IFA 2013, featuring an AutoBrite display with 1280 x 800p resolution. From our experience, the screen was sharp, the colours were bright and the viewing angles good at 170-degrees. It isn't the Full HD resolution...

column: 'Looking Both Ways' at the 'Made in China' label and 9/11 fears
Frances Kai-Hwa Wang | Contributor
The styles are all different — formal, casual, realistic, cartoonish, playful, even black and white and fake-photoshopped. There are old men and young women, hipster rock stars and craggy-faced workers. There is a high mandarin collar, a hooded sweatshirt, a tie, a baseball cap, spiky dyed hair, a cigarette.
One of the three curators, EMU art education professor Guey-Meei Yang, explains that these are the real people who work at an art factory in Dafen, China. Their job is to paint to order, whatever you want—A painting of your family or a Vincent Van Gogh. Normally prized for their technical precision, self-expression is not particularly valued, and the artists remain invisible behind factory walls.
Then John C. Gonzalez from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, made an unusual order—a self-portrait of every artist who worked in that art factory, in any style. Together, they are a powerful illustration of the real people behind the “Made in China” label.
Ann Arbor-based Taiwan-born Chinese American artist Yuling Chuang Bruya's painting eloquently shows how she misses the idea of old China when she is in Taiwan and how she misses the Taiwan of her youth when she is in China.
Organized by Eastern Michigan University’s Art Department in partnership with University of Michigan Confucius Institute and North Campus Research Complex (NCRC) Art Program, this exhibition coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution and the founding of the Republic of China (ROC). It features artists from the United States, Taiwan, and mainland China who “provide differing critical viewpoints on the history of the ROC and its political and social-economic relationships with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United States.” It runs until October 21 at two locations, NCRC and EMU University Gallery.
The Ann Arbor Chinese Center of Michigan, which is primarily geared towards heritage language learners, is expanding course offerings to include two Friday evening Chinese conversation and culture classes for people who do not speak Chinese at home—one for adults and one for children. Enrollment is brisk and everyone is welcome.
Looking into the eyes of another and engaging in their arts and learning their language are such important ways to get to know another person, another people, and to help us get past the easy labels and fears.
The short description seems understandable precaution at first glance, but then one of those three, Shoshana Hebshi, a self-described “half-Arab, half-Jewish housewife living in suburban Ohio,” blogged the details of her interrogation—including handcuffs, jail cell, and strip search.
What counts as “suspicious behavior” begins to look more like jittery fear of The Other.
She asks, “What is the likelihood that two Indian men who didn’t know each other and a dark-skinned woman of Arab/Jewish heritage would be on the same flight from Denver to Detroit? Was that suspicion enough? Even considering that we didn’t say a word to each other until it became clear there were cops following our plane? Perhaps it was two Indian man [sic] going to the bathroom in succession?”
At the end of her ordeal, she reports that the FBI agent told her there had been fifty other similar incidents across the country that day, “It’s 9/11 and people are seeing ghosts. They are seeing things that aren’t there.”
Let us look both ways and really see.
Note: In partnership with the Looking Both Ways exhibit, the Michigan Taiwanese American Association (MiTAI) will be holding its ninth annual Taiwanese Music Festival on Saturday, October 15, 7:00 pm, at EMU’s Student Center Auditorium featuring young musicians selected to perform select Taiwanese music after a rigorous audition process.

A recent batch of photos revealed that Captain Cold is once again on the set of the series. Captain Cold could possibly join the heroes on the Legends of Tomorrow season 2 episode 12. Fans are hopeful that his tenacious character will help the Legends in their current dilemma against the Legion of Doom.
Wentworth Miller’s Leonard Snart, also known as Captain Cold, began on The Flash as a villain. However, when he entered the Legends of Tomorrow universe, he joined forces with the heroes. Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) recruited him. In addition to his partner Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) and six heroes, Rip formed the team order to eliminate Vandal Savage throughout history during season 1. Due to an unfortunate event, the Legends were scattered in various time periods.
However, Miller’s Captain Cold was not meant to stay. Greg Berlanti, Legends of Tomorrow executive producer, stated that they never planned to have Captain Cold as a permanent part of the group. Nonetheless, they want to keep his character from time to time. Considering all the favorable reception Miller received for his character, taking him completely off board would be a mistake on their part.
Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 12: Will Captain Cold return on the upcoming episode?
After the defeat of the immortal Vandal Savage and the corrupt Time Masters who colluded with him, a new danger emerges. Dr. Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), an unconventional historian, joined the action, scattering the Legends throughout time. In season 2, Martin Stein (Victor Garber) indicated that Captain Cold could still be out there. He may still be in a different time period. There is a possibility that Captain Cold will be coming back. There are some fans who argue that Captain Cold will be a part of some flashbacks and will not be physically present, hence his photos were taken from the set.
Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 12: The Legends travel back and forth from the future to the past
Aside from his return, the synopsis for Legends of Tomorrow season 2 episode 12 holds some revelations for the series. In the episode entitled Camelot/3000, the Legends continue their mission to pursue the Spear of Destiny before all the pieces fall under the hands of the Legion of Doom.
The Legends discovered that the members of the JSA protect each of the pieces in different time periods. Their first stop is on a future timeline where they find Dr. Mid-Nite (guest star Kwesi Ameyaw) which ultimately leads them to the past. King Arthur’s Camelot, where Stargirl (guest star Sarah Grey) is protecting her piece of the Spear. In order to safeguard the Spear shard from the now-evil Rip Hunter, the Legends must join forces with the Knights of the Round Table.

I love candy. Pretty much any kind, but especially chocolate. I am a candy connoisseur.
My husband is not. (Unless we are talking about Irish chocolate.)
I had purchased some Easter candy for the kids but couldn't seem to get back to the store alone to get the rest so I sent my husband an email at work asking him to buy the remaining items. I sent him a list of what I already purchased and listed the items still needed (chocolate bunnies, Cadbury milk chocolate eggs, M&Ms, etc.) CHOCOLATE. All the items on the list were chocolate.
The night before Easter he pulled out his purchases. Here's what he bought:
- Sour Patch Kids
- Sour Watermelon Drops
- Sour Patch Jelly Beans
- Swedish Fish
- Mints (they were totally gross -- they looked like marshmallows but had CANADA imprinted on them)
- Chocolate Bunnies
And then I look at the bunnies.
Three out of four of the rabbits were all shrunken and lumpy. Why? Because he bought them on his lunch hour and left them in the car for the rest of day while we were having record-breaking heat. Needless to say, there was a lot of whining the next morning. "What happened to my rabbit?! Why is it melted?! Hey! His rabbit isn't melted, why is mine?! That's not fair!"
And then, "Ew. Sour jelly beans? Where are the Jolly Rancher jelly beans like last year? What are these mint things? And peeps? Don't you remember that no one in this house likes peeps? Why do we get peeps every year if no one likes them?" (My fault, I bought the peeps.)
I will say that the Nerds (my buy) were a hit.
I told my husband that he lost his job and will no longer be on candy detail.
But that didn't last long because it is so much easier for him to stop on his way home from work to pick-up needed items than it is for me to trek to the store with 2-5 kids in tow. So on Tuesday afternoon my daughter sent an email to my husband asking him to pick-up candy for her and her sister to eat during the PSSAs (Pennsylvania State Standardized Assessment tests). The PSSAs started yesterday and will be administered daily during the next 2+ weeks. (I know, overkill for sure but that's education in the 21st Century.) ANYWAY, the kids are allowed to have candy to suck on during the test. So my husband stopped on his way home and bought each girl a bag of Life Savers.
Sugar-free Life Savers.
Have you ever eaten more than your share of sugar-free candy? I personally have not (since I love sugar so much) but I had a diabetic friend in high school who did. And believe me, it's not pretty.
So both girls came home from school yesterday and reported that they were getting sick because they had stomach cramps and had to run to the bathroom 3x yesterday. I assumed they were just nervous from test-taking. But THEN I discovered the almost-empty bags of sugar-free candy and now I know why they had such gastric issues.
What was he thinking?! He knows that sugar-free candy messes with your intestines. He also knows that if you give a kid a whole bag, they are most likely going to eat the whole bag. Especially if they are not allowed to have candy at school except for this one time, just during testing. If they can eat as much as they want during the test then of course they are going to eat it all. (Which is why you should buy them Tic Tacs, not a whole bag of candy.)
My husband is DEFINITELY off candy detail from now on.
The Candy Man he is not.

No stop sign: Green means go
In spotlight, he aims to make every minute count
At this point, in another city on another team embarking on a completely different kind of playoff run, the play probably seems as if it happened a lifetime ago.
But Jeff Green is barely a year removed from the biggest postseason game of his life — Game 6 of Oklahoma City’s first-round series against the Lakers — and one play still sticks out.
“That last game, we played our hearts out,’’ Green said. “It was just one specific play — not getting a rebound — and that sticks out big in the series and how they won.’’
For two weeks, Oklahoma City Arena turned into Cameron Indoor Stadium. All the blue T-shirts and all the white Thunderstix made the crowd look strobe-lit.
The Thunder had become the darlings of the playoffs by scaring the life out of the top-seeded Lakers.
The Thunder were down, three games to two, playing on their home floor, and the intensity had increased to the point where Kobe Bryant started showing his teeth after every shot.
In this case, it was a step-back jumper (degree of difficulty: 9) that he drilled with Nick Collison sliding across the floor trying to chase him and Kevin Durant stretched out trying to get so much as a fingertip on the ball.
The shot cut Oklahoma City’s lead to 94-93 with 2:11 left.
Still, a 1-point lead, thin as it was, made everyone in the building feel the Thunder could cash in on the house money they were playing with. It made it seem like a Game 7 against the defending champions was within reach.
It’s almost funny, looking back.
“Every possession counts,’’ Green said. “You can’t relax. That’s the biggest part.’’
Down to the last 17 seconds, the score hadn’t changed. Bryant had just grabbed a rebound and started weaving his way down the floor, looking for a shot.
He cleared everyone out of his way, and as Pau Gasol moved to the other side of the floor, Green gave him a little nudge, pointed at his teammates to make sure they had everyone boxed out, then drifted away near the free throw line.
Bryant raised for a fadeaway, and Green watched it hit the back of the rim. Then he watched Gasol guide it back in.
Gasol turned around directly in front of Green, clenching his fists, celebrating the basket that cut Oklahoma City’s Cinderella run short.
Focus of trade The Celtics are not the Thunder.
The Thunder lost to the Lakers in six games and it was a franchise-defining turning point. The Celtics lost to the Lakers in seven games, and it was their most devastating loss in more than two decades.
The series against the Knicks will likely be high on drama, but the Celtics are not playing with house money. In fact, they’re playing with the league’s fourth-highest payroll and an admittedly small championship window. They’re an investment, not a dice roll.
They had been playing with a proven formula, and when Kendrick Perkins returned in January, they had all five starters from the team that won the title in 2008.
Then they erased the chalk from the board.
President of basketball operations Danny Ainge traded Perkins and Nate Robinson for Nenad Krstic and Green.
Green was the headliner in the trade, young (24) and versatile (he can shoot, post, defend, and rebound). He was supposed to give the Celtics a dimension they hadn’t seen since James Posey left after the championship season.
The Celtics were 41-14 the day of the trade. They went 15-12 after that. Every loss seemed like a chance to second-guess the trade, and by extension Green, whose minutes and role fluctuated from game to game.
On the outside, there was a lot of buyer’s remorse.
“I jokingly told Perk he should renegotiate again,’’ said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. “His value keeps increasing with each loss.’’
Green brushes off the constant second-guessing.
“When we win, everything’s fine,’’ he said. “When we lose, everybody’s got something to say. So we’re just going to have to win so we can shut everybody up.’’
The post-trade shock, he said, passed as soon as he arrived.
“It happened,’’ said Green. “You can’t turn back time now. You’ve got to move forward. That’s what we’ve been doing.
“I have an opportunity to win a championship — that’s all I was thinking. I’m going to a great team, already established. I’m just going out there, trying to play my game the best I can.’’
Adjustment time Green’s numbers are down (15.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in Oklahoma City compared with 9.8 and 3.3 in Boston), but so are his minutes (37 to 23.5). And after starting 260 of his 289 games with Oklahoma City (including all 82 last season and 49 straight this season), he spent more time on the bench in Boston than he had since his rookie season.
“Jeff’s adjustment has been tough for him,’’ Rivers said. “For the first time in his life, he hasn’t played a ton of minutes. I think that’s far tougher than people think. Jeff’s never not started, for the most part.
“For the most part, he’s been a high-minute guy. He’s trying to figure that out. Even when he’s on the floor, he’s trying to figure out if he’s supposed to be the go-to guy, the scorer.’’
Green never had an issue deferring to Durant and Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City’s rising stars. He’s done the same thing behind Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett.
“It’s been good, I’ve been learning a lot,’’ Green said. “We’ve got some crafty veterans here. I’ve been learning a lot from them, just simple things to help me get better at situational stuff.’’
Making that adjustment while trying to learn two positions has been a challenge for Green, and for Rivers. Last month against the Knicks, Green found himself guarding Carmelo Anthony and then Amar’e Stoudemire within a matter of possessions. He understands the Celtics need his versatility.
“Every position allows me to play and use the advantages I have to try to help this team win,’’ Green said. “I’m just going out there to play basketball.’’
If anyone knows how difficult it is to bounce between roles, it’s Glen Davis, who has swung from guarding Rashard Lewis on the perimeter to Dwight Howard in the paint when the Celtics play Orlando.
“It’s hard to adjust sometimes,’’ said Davis. “You’ve just got to do it. Point-blank you’ve got to make it happen. You’ve got to find it. There’s no excuses.
“It’s tough, but it’s just something you have to do. When he finds out what his role truly is, he’ll be OK.’’
From one night to the next, his matchups will change throughout the playoffs. The magnifying glass will get bigger as the games do. But after last postseason, he has learned to take each play, each possession, each game by itself.
“We treat every game like a big game, because every game counts,’’ Green said. “That’s how I look at it.’’

Last week, new federal regulations regarding patients’ hospital visitation rights--most notably LGBT patients--went into effect, and they affect all of us, for the better. See, these new regulations require all hospitals that participate in Medicaid and Medicare programs--which is roughly, oh, I don't know, every single hospital in America--to allow the patients to determine who can, and cannot visit them; in addition, the regulations further prohibit discriminating against visitors based on any number of factors, including sexual orientation and gender identity.
Which means the end of the "Only family can visit" bull shiz.
These new federal regulations have come into being because of the tragic story of one such LGBT family: Janice Langbehn, Lisa Pond and their children. I first posted their story HERE, and followed it up HERE and HERE --but, to recap, while readying for a cruise in Miami, Lisa Pond suffered a brain aneurysm, and was taken to Jackson Memorial hospital in Miami. Janice Langbehn was not allowed to visit her partner as Lisa lay in a coma, except for a few minutes while the priest administered last rites; she wasn't even allowed to bring their children into see their mother.
Almost instantly after this story broke, President Obama--proving that day that he was our fierce advocate--issued a presidential memorandum which directed the Department of Health and Human Services to develop regulations protecting hospital visitation rights.
So, now, because of Janice and Lisa, and because of President Obama, if Carlos, heaven forbid, is hospitalized, the hospital will not be allowed to refuse me visitation--or vice versa. Now, I won't hold my breath that every hospital will follow these new regulations, but I do think that after a few lawsuits, maybe they'll take notice.

Hubsan X4 questions
I've recently damaged a Hubsan X4 by hitting a cable with it and it fell hard about 30' onto an asphalt parking lot. It landed upside down and the blades were turning wide open, so I had to disconnect the power wires to shut it down. After that when the power wires are connected the blue LEDs blink alternating left and right, then when the transmitter is turned on they blink together. The transmitter LED turns green saying they are communicating, but the copter won't respond and the blue LEDs keep blinking. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to fix whatever is wrong?
Also, I don't have whatever it takes to make the camera work. There's a slot to insert something but I don't have it, and if it came in the package I accidentally threw it away without ever seeing it. Can anyone tell me what to get in order to get the camera working, and also if there are any tricks I need to know about?
Thank you for any help!
Sorry to hear that nopeda......Unfortunately, there could be a number of things that got damaged. It's such a small craft, the electronics are very fragile....without seeing the damage, there's no way for us to assess the problem.
If it landed upside down hard from a height of 30', all of the operating system control board took the brunt of the impact........as well as some of the motor shafts.....the antenna might have come loose, the CB could be cracked, a motor shaft could be jammed, an ESC may be fried.....ect, ect, ect.....there's to many (if's) to help you out much....sorry.
I won't go into all of the (why's) related to lack of responses......but it's more than likely related to the type of question(s) and descriptions given......like I stated previously, none of us are mind readers and without actually putting our hands on the damaged quad, any solution to the problem would just be a wild guess!
Part of the problem is also related to the poor quality and lack detailed information provided in the owner's manual.......here are three examples of owners manuals that each state are for the Hubsan X4....each is different and only one mentions flashing blue LED's, which evidently is related to the accelerometor level calibration....and we wonder why the "inexpensive" toys are so popular.....lol
As far as camera set-ups.....evidently there is a verison of this model that has an on board (video) camera installed and a version without the camera, there are aftermarket attachments also available for both the TX and quad related to FPV......all made by Hubsan and two other companies. These items do not come with a stock Hubsan 4x w/wo camera......my best quess with this is web search Hubsan 4x for video details and go from there.
Quite frankly nopeda, the vast majority that would be willing and able to help out, generally will not take the time to weed through the possible remedies to fix your issue because the quad is a "toy", not very dependable, and meant to play with and not a serious investment, meant to throw away once one can no longer repair (fly) or has out grown.
Keep hitting up the RCGroups forum, there are plenty of folks over there that have been through the issues with the Hubsan 4x and have moved onto better "toys"......just search the threads......I did briefly, and came up with several related articles......;)

Bathstore chief executive Gary Favell is aiming to transform the big ticket retailer into an omnichannel business as it aims to grow market share.
Former MFI boss Favell - who took up the position in May, as revealed by Retail Week - said the retailer has about 10% share of the baths market currently, but wants to grow that to 15% through product differentiation and improving its multichannel offer.
The 170-store retailer will launch an app by the end of the year that can be used to scan QR codes placed on products in store.
There are also plans to install screens against every bathroom set to show films helping shoppers’ understand the products.
Online sales account for 10% of overall sales at Bathstore, and Favell wants to grow that by improving the offer including bettering the payment systems.
“We plan to become an omnichannel retailer and really mean it,” he said. “If you can handle your web correctly it’s a big plus.”
Bathstore will launch more digital products to differentiate its offer. It already sells a shower that is controlled by Bluetooth.
“You’ll be able to start running your bath while you’re watching Corrie,” said Favell, who was hired by investment firm Endless, which acquired the retailer in May from plumbing group Wolseley for £15m.
Favell said under Endless, Bathstore will be able to get things done more quickly, including launching new ranges such as furniture. The retailer is also about to begin selling its first ever range of tiles.
Favell would not reveal what level of investment Endless is making in the business, but said Bathstore is spending a “significant” amount on revamping stores, including replacing the current POS, as well as technology and e-commerce.
“We want to be the guys that are leading the pack again,” said Favell. “Bathstore is the sleeping giant in the sector. In its heyday it was doing £150m and making £20m. We want to get back to that.”
In 2011 Bathstore recorded sales of £95m and EBITDA of £6.5m.
Wolseley had been aiming to sell Bathstore for the last two years, creating instability within the business. “The first priority was to stabilise business,” said Favell. “We wanted to get people focused on the top line.”
He added that expansion is on the agenda but not in the short term.
The mid-market retailer has recently launched a new entry level price point, including a toilet selling for just £59. “It’s pulled in a new customer and opened up our market share,” said Favell.
He said Bathstore benefits from its product expertise over rivals including DIY retailers. “Our guys can talk to you about pumps and pressure,” he said.
Favell had to build a new finance and property team when he arrived. Previously the functions were run by Wolesely. “We have a good team of retailers now rather than merchants,” said Favell.
Bathstore operates 40 franchises, with the remaining estate made up of wholly owned stores.
Favell was attempting a turnaround of MFI when it hit the buffers in 2008. He then went on to lead Allied Carpets on an interim basis.

People of all ages suffering from injuries, illnesses or medical problems that prevent them from moving or functioning normally could benefit from orthopedic outpatient therapy. A customized program of treatment can help you to return to your previous level of function, but how do you know if physical therapy could prove to be helpful for you?
You’re Experiencing Pain
If you have a chronic or acute pain condition, manual therapy techniques like soft tissue and joint mobilization and therapeutic exercises can help to not only relieve pain but also to restore joint and muscle function so the pain is less likely to return.
You’ve Been Told You May Need Surgery
If you have had an injury and have been told you may need surgery, orthopedic outpatient treatment could help you to avoid having to have an operation. Even if you do need to have surgery, you will benefit from having some physical therapy beforehand. You will be able to go into surgery in better shape and stronger, and this will help you to recover more quickly afterwards.
You’re Struggling With Your Mobility
If you struggle to move, walk or stand, whatever your age, orthopedic outpatient treatment could help you. Strengthening and stretching exercises could restore your movement and enable you to enjoy a better quality of life.
You’ve Suffered A Sporting Injury
If you’re a keen athlete, or even someone who enjoys sports and keeping fit in your leisure time, you will be more at risk of suffering from injures like strains and sprains. Orthopedic treatment could help speed your recovery and help to guard against similar injuries occurring again.
You Have An Increased Risk Of Falls
If you have a high risk of falling, orthopedic treatment could help to improve your balance. You can learn exercises during orthopedic treatment that carefully and safely improve your coordination so that you can move around more easily without putting yourself at greater risk. This will improve your quality of life.
You Suffer From Age-Related Conditions
As we get older, we become more prone to a range of health problems that can make it difficult to cope with everyday activities. Osteoporosis and arthritis are just two age-related conditions that can cause older people additional pain and result in limited mobility. Orthopedic treatments can help patients to manage these conditions effectively yet conservatively, or can help in the recovery process after surgery to address these problems.
Arranging Your Physical Therapy Appointment
If you need physical therapy in St Louis, RPI Therapy Services are on hand to help. Our skilled and experienced team can offer you an exceptional level of care and treatment so that you can enjoy reduced pain, better mobility and a better quality of life. So, contact us today if you’re experiencing any of the above issues and arrange your first appointment.

Female lifespan is longer in wild mammal animals than in humans
March 25, 2020
On average, women live longer than men: About 90% of people reaching 110 years old or more are women. The current record holder is Jeanne Calment, who was 122 years old, when she died in 1997.
Now a new study shows, that even greater differences in lifespan are found in wild mammals. The average female wild mammal lives 18.6 % longer than her male counterpart. In humans, the difference is “only” 7.8 %.
The study was conducted by researchers from University of Southern Denmark and University Lyon 1 in collaboration with several international teams. It is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“The greatest differences are found in animals like common brushtail possum, lion, killer whale, moose, greater kudu and sheep,” says Fernando Colchero, associate professor and an expert in biostatistics at Interdisciplinary Centre on Population Dynamics, University of Southern Denmark.
The researchers compiled demographic data for more than 130 wild mammal populations and were able to estimate the average longevity and the rate of increase in the risk of dying as a function of age for both sexes.
The analyzes led to unexpected results. Not only do females generally live longer than males in wild mammals, but the difference in longevity between the sexes, although very variable depending on the population, in the vast majority of cases exceeds the difference observed in human populations.
Lower risk of female mortality during adulthood
“For about half of the mammal populations studied, the increased risk of mortality with age is actually more pronounced in females than in males,” Fernando Colchero explains.
These results show that the larger longevity of females than males is most likely due to other factors that affect individuals during their entire adult life.
To reach this conclusion, Colchero and his colleagues calculated the average age at death, as well as the rate at which mortality increases with age.
Is risky male behavior a cause?
There is a common belief that males engage in potentially dangerous sexual competitions and live riskier lives than females, and that this could account for their shorter lifespan.
Contrary to this idea, this study reveals that the intensity of sexual selection does not directly modulate the amplitude of the differences in longevity observed between the sexes.
The results rather suggest that complex interactions between the physiological characteristics specific to each sex and local environmental conditions are at play.
We see many variations in the species studied. For some species, the males actually have the longest lifespan. That said, there is a statistically clear trend and there are a number of plausible explanations, says Dalia Conde, associate professor and an expert in animal conservation, Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark.
Why do the females live longer?
One explanation is that males often are larger and put more energy in sexual characters such as growing larger horns than females. This requires energy, and if the animals live in a harsh climate, the males may be more vulnerable to these extreme environmental conditions.
One example is bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), When these animals live in an environment where resources are consistently available, there are almost no differences in their lifespans. But when they live in harsher environments, where winters are more severe, the males live much shorter lives.
Another explanation is that males produce more androgens (male hormones) than females. Androgens modulate immune performance and when present at high levels, they can impair some aspects of the immune defense, making males more susceptible to infections and diseases.

It's been almost nine months since Nvidia kicked off their RTX 30 series with the RTX 3080, and longer still since anyone has actually been able to buy a graphics card at its normal price. Indeed, as the great graphics card shortage of 2020 rumbles on, the solution doesn't seem to be simply making more of what's already available out in the wild, but introducing newer, more expensive ones to stretch that GPU pool even further. Indeed, despite the RTX 3080 being plenty powerful enough for 60fps 4K gaming on max settings in pretty much every game going (and well into the 100s at 1440p and below), Nvidia now have a new flagship RTX card in town, the RTX 3080 Ti.
On paper, it's received a sizable spec bump. Instead of 10GB of GDDR6X memory, the RTX 3080 Ti now has 12GB of the stuff. It also has substantially more CUDA cores than before, putting it closer to Nvidia's more creator-focused RTX 3090 than its non-Ti sibling. With a GPU power of 350W, it's a little more power hungry than the regular RTX 3080, but Nvidia still recommend having the same 750W power supply as the rest of their high-end RTX 30 family. Unfortunately, all that's going to cost you another £400 / $400 on top of the original RTX 3080, as Nvidia have given it an eye-watering starting price of £1049 / $1199.
Whether you'll be able to buy one at that price when it actually goes on sale tomorrow (June 3rd) remains to be seen. Chances are, you'll have to fork out a lot more for it, if previous graphics card launches are anything to go by, and judging by my benchmark figures, it's simply not worth it.
We've already seen how the RTX 3080 compares to the rest of today's best graphics cards, both in my RTX 3080 review and elsewhere in my RTX 3080 vs 3070 and RTX 3080 vs 2080 comparison pieces, so in this review I'm going to focus on what you'll get over its vanilla sibling. And I'm going to be upfront. That £400 / $400 price bump does not reflect another £400 / $400's worth of performance here, at least by my count. Yes, there are some instances where the RTX 3080 Ti reaches similar speeds to the even more expensive RTX 3090, but there were plenty more cases where I only saw a very minimal increase over my original RTX 3080 benchmark figures. If the RTX 3080 Ti was, say, only £100 / $100 more than its non-Ti counterpart (like the upcoming RTX 3070 Ti), then maybe there'd be a stronger case for it. But if you've already got an RTX 3080 on pre-order, be it a standalone card or as part of a pre-built PC, keep it. You've got the right card.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti benchmarks
To test the RTX 3080 Ti, I was sent Zotac's GeForce RTX 3080 Ti AMP Holo edition. Admittedly, when I tested their AMP Holo edition of the regular RTX 3080, I did find it was a couple of frames slower than some of the other RTX 3080 models I tested, often falling behind MSI's GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio and the Asus TUF GeForce RTX 3080 by an average of 4-6fps in my benchmark suite. As such, it's entirely possible there are marginally faster models of the RTX 3080 Ti out there than the one I've got on test here.
My card also ran incredibly loudly under load, too, even when the actual card temperature wasn't that hot. I have a feeling this issue isn't exclusive to Zotac's AMP Holo edition, though, as our friends at Digital Foundry reported similar findings with Nvidia's Founders Edition of the RTX 3080 Ti as well, putting yet another black mark against it compared to its considerably quieter vanilla RTX 3080 sibling.
I'm also aware that my testing components aren't as 'premium', perhaps, as the graphics card in question. I use an Intel Core i5-10600K to give an accurate representation of what an ordinary, mid-range gaming PC might be able to achieve with these cards, but I do also test these cards with faster processors as well - and on both the RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti, very little changed at 4K when I swapped out my trusty Core i5-10600K for a faster Core i9 (as is, perhaps, more befitting for a graphics card of this calibre). After all, you're still GPU-bound at 4K, and I've tested enough CPUs to know it makes surprisingly little difference to your overall frame rate when playing at higher resolutions.
I should note that you'll likely be CPU-bound by both the RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti when playing at 1440p or below, as many of my 1080p results on my Core i5 were exactly the same as my 1440p scores. Equally, though, you shouldn't really be buying either of these cards for those resolutions in the first place. There are much better, (usually) cheaper options for playing games at 1440p or below, such as the RTX 3060 or 3060 Ti, and you should only really be considering the RTX 3080 or above if you have a 4K monitor or an ultrawide one.
Fundamentally, though, even if there are marginally faster versions of the RTX 3080 Ti out there, I'm still not convinced it would be worth all that extra cash over the regular RTX 3080. Indeed, as before, the RTX 3080 Ti is more than capable of playing most games at 60fps on max settings at 4K, with a couple of the same exceptions where you'll have to drop down to High settings to keep that 60fps frame rate. Those exceptions include a lot of the big games from last year, including Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077, meaning it offers little in the way of additional future-proofing against future blockbuster games, as well as perennial favourite, Total War: Three Kingdoms, so it's not like older demanding games are suddenly going to improve loads either.
In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, for example, I only saw an average increase of 2fps on Ultra High settings at 4K with the RTX 3080 Ti, rising from the RTX 3080's average of 51fps in its built-in benchmark to just 53fps - which to my eyes is pretty much the same thing. Likewise, when I knocked the settings down to High, the RTX 3080 Ti only managed an average of 79fps at 4K, up from the 75fps average I got on the regular RTX 3080.
Cyberpunk 2077 was equally underwhelming on the RTX 3080 Ti as well. Whereas the RTX 3080 averaged 38fps on Ultra settings at 4K around the busy, graphics-intensive streets outside V's apartment, the RTX 3080 Ti only bumped that average up to 42fps. I also had to play on Medium with both cards to get anywhere near 60fps at native resolution, too, with both cards returning the same average frame rate of 59fps. Cyberpunk, of course, also supports Nvidia's DLSS tech, but ironically it was the RTX 3080 that performed better when I switched on DLSS with Ultra settings again, averaging 72fps versus the Ti's result of 62fps. I also saw nigh-on identical frame rates between the two cards when I turned on the game's pair of ray tracing presets as well (which has DLSS turned on by default), with both hovering around the 47fps mark.
Total War: Three Kingdoms was a similar story as well. After all, when the normal RTX 3080 is capable of playing at an average of 47fps on Ultra settings at 4K, what difference is the RTX 3080 Ti's average of 50fps actually going to make to your moment-to-moment gameplay? I wasn't able to tell the difference between the two cards in Forza Horizon 4, either, as both managed the same average of 139fps on Ultra settings at 4K. That's a lot of games with little to no improvement.
Even in the games where the RTX 3080 Ti did pull ahead, you're still paying an awful lot for what you're actually getting. In Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, for example, the RTX 3080's average of 58fps on Highest with its top anti-aliasing setting switched on was already more than smooth enough for my tastes, and I'm not sure the 3080 Ti's average of 64fps is going to feel tangibly different in practice. The same goes for its ray tracing and DLSS performance, too. With its ray traced shadows on Ultra, the RTX 3080 Ti's average of 80fps isn't going to look or feel any different if you've only got a regular 60Hz 4K monitor, and even if you do have a fancy, all-singing, all-dancing high refresh rate one, my eyes simply aren't sensitive enough to tell one from the other at these kinds of frame rates.
Sure, it was nice to play Monster Hunter: World at 4K Highest without dipping below 60fps on the RTX 3080 Ti - it averaged 65fps running around the dense undergrowth of its Ancient Forest map, mimicking the kinds of speeds I saw on the RTX 3090 - but I'm not gonna lie. I also didn't feel like the regular RTX 3080's average of 58fps needed a huge amount of improvement.
The same goes for Metro Exodus as well. In the game's regular edition, the RTX 3080 was already capable of producing an excellent average of 68fps in its tough, demanding benchmark tool, as well as 61fps with Ultra ray tracing and DLSS thrown in. The RTX 3080 Ti pushed this a bit further to an average of 74fps and 66fps with ray tracing and DLSS (again, edging closer to what you'll get on the RTX 3090), but let's get real. That's not worth paying at least another £400 / $400 for.
Admittedly, it's not like RTX 3080 prices are anywhere near normal at the moment, either, and if you end up finding one for the same price as the RTX 3080 Ti, then sure, it probably goes without saying that you should go for the Ti. The real test will come when pre-built RTX 3080 Ti desktop PCs start getting priced up, because when an RTX 3080 PC will currently set you back at least £2000 at some UK retailers, you may feel that spending another couple of hundred quid to get one with a Ti isn't that much of an extra stretch. I'll be keeping a close eye on these when they go on sale tomorrow.
In my gut, though, I just can't recommend anyone spend over £1000 / $1000 on a graphics card for playing games, either now or in the future - especially if you don't have a 4K monitor. The RTX 3080 Ti is massive overkill for anyone with a 1080p or 1440p screen, and there are plenty of cards that will still get you amazing performance for a heck of a lot less. If you've been thinking about upgrading recently, you should look out for Nvidia's RTX 3060 if you've got a 1080p screen (or an RTX 3060 Ti if you really want to push into those high refresh rates), while those after maxed out 1440p performance should consider an RTX 3070 or AMD's Radeon RX 6700 XT. With today's games, there's simply no need for anything more powerful right now - especially not when Nvidia's performance-boosting DLSS tech can often turn even an RTX 3060 into a viable 4K powerhouse in supported games.
And if you do own a 4K monitor and find your current graphics card is struggling to maintain a steady frame rate (and you aren't satisfied with simply knocking down the resolution to 1440p), then I also feel like there are better, more appropriate cards you should be on the lookout for instead, such as the vanilla RTX 3080 for playing games at their native resolution (or indeed one of the RTX 30 cards mentioned above if it supports DLSS). Although, with prices as they are right now, you should just do yourself a favour and just turn the resolution down. It might take another six months before the great graphics card shortage resolves itself, but honestly, just think about whether you really need to upgrade right now. It's easy to get swept up in the excitement of shiny new things, but if none of the current or future ray tracing games take your fancy, you're almost certainly going to be better off sticking with what you've got for the time being. When prices return to normal (and assuming there hasn't been another entire generation of graphics cards announced in the interim), the vanilla RTX 3080 will be the much better buy for 4K gamers in the long run.

By: Ray Mears(Author), Lars Fält(Author)
336 pages, colour photos
Out on the Land is an absorbing exploration of, and tribute to, the circumpolar Boreal forest of the North: its landscape, its people, their cultures and skills, the wilderness that embodies it, and its immense beauty. Out on the Land is vast in scope and covers every aspect of being in the wilderness in both winter and summer (clothing, kit, skills, cooking, survival), revealing the age-old traditions and techniques, and how to carry them out yourself. It also includes case studies of early explorers, as well as modern-day adventurers who found themselves stranded in the forest and forced to work out a way to survive.
So much more than a bushcraft manual, Out on the Land goes deeper, to the traditions and cultures that gave us these skills, as well as focusing on the detail itself. Ray and Lars's practical advice is wound around a deep love for the forest, respect and admiration for the people who live there and sheer enjoyment of the stunning scenery.
"[...] substantial in size and content and clearly designed to both inform and inspire. [...] If you can hold back from buying this book for yourself straight away, then it's definitely one for the Christmas list."

Here is my "To Do" that I went into the weekend with.
• Vacuum the entire house
• Plan dinners for next week (Pantry Challenge- Week 2)
• Start thawing dinners for next week
• Sam’s Swim Class
• Watch Super Bowl just for the commercials
• Go to Sam’s Club for vitamins
• Start researching hotels & activities for our Philly/DC vacation in June/July (never too early to start)
• Cook meat/fruits/veggies for Sam’s lunches and dinners for the month
• Go to the grocery store (maybe)
• Clean all of Sam’s toys
• Denver Art Museum (free) or Museum of Contemporary Art ($0.01)- probably won't go
• Hunt down overdue library books before I have to pay for them
• Go to the gym or go running outside (maybe I could take Sam in our jogging stroller)
• Watch “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” before it is due back to the library
• Hang up Sam’s clothes
That's a pretty lofty list for me. Here is what I was able to accomplish:
• Vacuum the entire upstairs—That’s a good start for me.
• Start thawing dinners for next week (some have been determined and started to thaw)
• Sam’s Swim Class
• Watch Super Bowl just for the commercials- I finished up the rest this morning.
• Go to Sam’s Club for vitamins (and fruits for Sam- apples, kiwi, bananas, and avocados). I didn’t need to go to the grocery store since I was able to get the fruits at Sam’s Club.
• Cook fruits/veggies for Sam’s lunches and dinners for the month- white potatoes, eggplant, and apples (no need to cook the kiwi, bananas, and avocados) I should have taken pictures of all of the cooking, cutting, packaging and freezing that I did, but I will next time.
• Watch “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”
We were able to watch “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” on Saturday after Sam’s swim class. It was okay, but I want to record it so that Sam has another animation video in his collection (or should I say “my” collection). Hee hee!!
I wasn’t too excited about the actual Super Bowl, since none of my teams were in it this year, so I was most excited about the commercials. They weren’t as good as in past years, but I did like the Snicker’s commercial with Betty White and the “Gym Ninja” Doritos commercial. Very Funny!!!
There are a few more things that I have to do this week that can’t be put off until the weekend.
• Cook meat for Sam’s lunches/dinners (tonight and tomorrow night)
• Clean some of Sam’s toys (tonight and every night until they are all sanitized)
• Hunt down overdue library books (tonight and every night until they are found)
Brian's work schedule is changing starting today, so I really hope that he is able to get home in the evenings before Sam goes to sleep.

Truck Driver Violations, Fatigued Truckers Present Danger
With long hours behind the wheel, it is no surprise that Missouri truck drivers often drive when they should be sleeping. Whether caused by a sleep disorder, bad sleeping habits or pressure to get the drive done quickly, truck drivers regularly drive when fatigued or overly tired. According to the a 2006 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) survey, 21 percent of truck drivers admitted to falling asleep at the wheel.
Law-Breaking Runs Rampant in Trucking Industry
Hours of service regulations are supposed to significantly reduce truck driver fatigue. These federal regulations limit the number of hours that a driver can legally drive without a break or hours off the job. Unfortunately, many truck drivers and trucking companies disregard these important safety regulations. Even after the new HOS rules took effect in Jan. 2004, one in five drivers continue to drive when not permitted to do so under the HOS rules.
Truck drivers also manipulate their log books to adjust the number of hours behind the wheel to make it look as though they are following the HOS regulations, when they are actually ignoring the rules. The serious problem of falsifying road log books happens in more than 50 percent of truck driver books, according to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance.
Truck Driver Fatigue Poses Serious Risks for Missouri Drivers
HOS and sleep requirement violations are so commonplace, yet little is being done to protect Missouri drivers from the harm caused by fatigued truck drivers. With 30 to 40 percent of fatal truck accidents caused by truck driver fatigue, one solution suggested by the National Transportation Safety Board is to require all trucking companies to provide Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBR). An EOBR records the number of drive time hours and is virtually tamper-proof.
Several companies have voluntarily required the use of EOBRs on their trucks, including Werner Enterprises and Schneider National, while other companies have resisted, stating that the EOBRs are too expensive to require use in their entire fleet of commercial trucks. It remains to be seen whether the U.S. Department of Transportation will respond to the recommendations by the NTSB to mandate the EOBRs for all trucks in the U.S.
Other Common Causes of Missouri Truck Accidents
Truck driver fatigue is not the only cause of Missouri truck accidents. Truck drivers also engage in other risky and negligent driving behaviors, such as the following:
- Texting while driving
- Driving while impaired
- Overloading the truck or load
- Ignoring safety and equipment checks
If you or someone you love has been injured in a truck accident, contact a skilled Missouri personal injury lawyer. A knowledgeable truck accident attorney knows how to evaluate an accident to uncover truck driver fatigue, driver error, HOS violations and other common causes of truck crashes.

Some pioneering projects are already underway, such as that in Ellern, a small town in the low mountain range of Hunsrück in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Ellern has recently become home to a record-breaking wind turbine some 200 meters tall, or far above the treetops.
Semi-trailers pulled nacelles, the enormous housings for wind turbine engines, and transformer stations up the narrow forest roads. A 1,000-ton crane made its way up the slippery slopes to the peak; trees were felled at the side of the road to make way for it. At the top, the forest was cleared to nothing with chainsaws so that concrete foundations could be laid for the turbines.
No one knows what the impact of such activities will be on the flora and fauna. The offensive into this mountain range took place "without checks," protests Germany's Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU). In any case, the group says, the idea of generating wind power in the forest should be "rejected on principle."
Lies and Deception
The decision to not build offshore wind farms turns out to be misguided not just for environmental reasons, but also for economic ones. At sea, turbines can achieve 4,500 full-load hours a year. By the coast, the figure is 3,000. Inland, a site is considered good if it produces 1,800 hours.
The turbines currently being built across Germany, from the Ore Mountains in the east to Lake Constance in the west, are weaker still. Statistics show that the turbines in the south of the country are generating significantly less power than was predicted. The biggest wind farm in Baden-Württemberg, at a height of 850 meters in the Northern Black Forest, has been a flop for years.
"It's all an enormous swindle," says Besigheim-based auditor Walter Müller, 65, whose former job involved calculating the value of bankrupt East German factories. Today, he takes the same hard-as-nails approach to examining the books of wind farm companies.
His verdict? A fabric of lies and deception. The experts commissioned by the operators of the wind farms sometimes describe areas with weak breezes as top "wind-intensive" sites to make them appear more attractive, he says. "Small-scale investors are promised profits to attract them into closed funds for wind farms that do not generate enough energy," he says. "Ultimately, all the capital is eaten up."
The wind turbines, whose job it was to protect the environment, are not running smoothly. Germany's biggest infrastructure project is a mess. Everyone wants to get away from nuclear. But at what price?
Even Winfried Kretschmann, the governor of Baden-Württemberg and the first Green Party member to govern any German state, is sounding contrite. But his resolve remains as firm as ever: "There is simply no alternative to disfiguring the countryside like this," he insists.
The question is: Is he right?

The Whether You Do Or Weather You Don’t (WUDOWUD) initiative is led by Know Now Information in collaboration with the Hampshire Hub Partnership and supported by the STFC (Science & Technology Centre).
WUDOWUD is broken into two distinct phases.
- to prove that a correlation can be positively identified between the weather event and events occurring due to that weather in a specific location. The project is using historic data to a) identify a correlation (2000 to 2006) and b) then validating this correlation (2007 to 2014).
- Phase two is then working with experts in the emergency services (in particular the Fire Service), Government Agencies and local council response teams in determining whether a proactive response could lead to a better outcome.
WUDoWUD has also been featured as a case study by the Science & Technology Facilities Council: Predicting weather-related emergency blackspots
Co-founder of Know Now, David Patterson, and Mark Braggins (Hampshire Hub Partnership, BlueLightCamp & British APCO) presented an overview and update at the DCLG’s Flood Resilience Discovery Day in February 2015

This project included all the cabinetry, front entrance pivot door as well as supplying interior doors. The open, airy feel of the kitchen designed by Chad Harding of Carlton Edwards Architecture, was based on using one inch formaldehyde free plywood as structural components. This allowed us to keep the intended look. We fabricated the black stove hood to be integral to the look. Iron Maiden Studios applied the black patina. For the breakfast nook table, we designed the table base to mimic the H-beams, routing out the floor to keep the base flush an avoiding potential toe stubbing.

|Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Sinh Hung has working session with key leaders of Government Inspectorate in Ha Noi.— VNA/VNS Photo Nhan Sang
HA NOI (VNS)— Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Sinh Hung said personnel training for the Government Inspectorate was needed in order to protect the rights and interests of citizens.
Working with key leaders of the sector yesterday, he stressed that the sector must uphold the principle of ensuring law observation and accuracy in all inspections.
As Government inspectors are responsible to citizens, they should exert every effort to detect law violations in all sectors and levels, consolidating people's trust in the Party and State, he said.
During the 2011-13 period, the sector conducted nearly 30,000 administrative and more than 430,000 specific inspections, according to Chief Government Inspector Huynh Phong Tranh.
The sector detected violations involving over VND102 trillion (US$4.8 billion) and nearly 300,000 hectares of land, proposing the reclamation of VND60.2 trillion ($2.8 billion) and 14,752 hectares of land as well as punishments for nearly 4,000 collectives and 7,000 individuals.
At the same time, the Government Inspectorate brought to light 319 corruption cases and 526 suspects relating to VND726 billion ($34 million) and 10 hectares of property, as well as strictly dealing with 52 leaders of agencies engaging in fraudulent activities, said Tranh.
During the last three years, the sector settled 360,000 citizen complaints, through which it restored nearly VND2 trillion ($94 million) and 886 hectares of land for citizens, uncovering 2,373 individuals and transferring 400 to investigation forces.
He also pointed out some shortcomings of the sector, such as the long time it took to make an inspection report and the fact that only a few cases have been handed over to investigating agencies.
The official said these issues resulted from inadequate regulations of the Inspection Law as well as the insufficient capacity of many inspectors. — VNS

How To Put Together Your Stitching Book
Supplies in your kit.
12 x 18 piece of "Vanilla Latte"wool/felt
4 x 6 piece of "Loden"wool/felt
4 x 6 piece of "Blue Spruce" wool/felt
2 pieces of 5 1/2 x 8 cardboard
approx 5 x 8 piece of "Serenity Harbor" combed cotton fabric
waxed cotton string
Dove charm for Peace
A piece of 5 x 7 (30ct Linen) OR a piece of (14ct Aida) "Lambswool"
Cross stitch charted design along with the Personalized Name and Date
What you will need:
All fibers. Please use the same fibers you might have used with your sampler
Needles for cross stitching and a sharp needle for the book assembly
***Just a note that I prefer to hand sew but many of you might have a sewing machine....so please feel free to assemble these with your machine for edging and finishing.....I just prefer to hand sew because my machine is always jamming and it is more relaxing for me than to fight with the machine :)
Starting with your fabric for the cross stitch design, add Fray Check to the edges. Since the finished design is a 4 x 6 and the fabric is a 5 x 7 this only leaves you 1 inch extra all around, You will not need more than 1 inch extra to finish this piece for your book. Fold Fabric in half and starting in center cross stitch the design with the same fibers you used for your "Serenity Harbor " Sampler. I have included your personalized Name and Date for the cover design, See Directions in kit.
After all stitching is complete, Iron and fold under extra fabric, press.
I made a straight stitch across the outer edges of the design (I used a green floss to give it a little more color and a bit of a frame look), when finished set it aside
Next Step is to cut the "Vanilla Latte" wool/felt.
You have a piece that is 12 x 18
you need to cut this in half so you will 2 pieces that measure 9 x 12
|12' across the top and 18" down the sides, (Before cutting)|
|Cut in half to make 2 pieces that measure 12" across the top |
and 9" down the sides (pic after cutting)
Next to Make the Cotton Pocket
Take the Serenity Harbor cotton fabric and fold under all of the edges to the back,
approx 1/8 to a 1/4 inch, pin all around, using a sewing stitch and a thread of your choice
Take one piece of "Vanilla Latte" wool/felt (12" across the top and 9" down the side), fold in half to find center, lay the cotton fabric on the bottom right side of your page, (pin the right side to the edge of the wool/felt and the left side to the center on the wool/felt page) Sew the right side and left side down onto the page. The bottom section will need to be gathered to fit, take needle and thread, make a knot at one end of thread and use a gathering stitch across the bottom of the cotton only, pull the thread to gather and make the fabric fit, pin in place and sew the bottom section down onto the "Vanilla Latte"
Now to make the floss bobbin holders and a small pin cushion.
Take the 2 pieces of green wool/felt these are the 4 x 6 pieces.
Fold each in half , cut into 4 x 3 (4" across the top and 3" down the sides)
Now you should have 4 pieces that measure 4 x 3, (2 dark green and 2 lighter green )
|Lighter green has been cut and the darker green is folded in half and waiting for the scissors :)|
Take one darker green piece and cut in half . You want to make 2 pieces that measure 4" x 1 1/2"
AND do the same to one of the lighter green pieces, So you should have 4 pieces of 4" x 1 1/2" for the floss pockets and a pin cushion
**Make sure you set the other 2 ( 4" x 3") pieces of wool aside
(These are for the flowers and leaves on the cover)
I needed to decorate the floss pockets and pin cushion, so I just imagined a small circle in the center, made various French knots either around a circle or filled in a circle, I used a Lazy Daisy stitch for the flower petals and using the same stitch but with a green floss I made leaves.
I have left the color choices and stitch ideas for flowers up to you but shared what I did for a suggestion, Remember these are your own books and make them to reflect what you would like. :)
|Floss bobbin pocket- stitched down the center to make a pocket for 2 bobbins|
Assembling the Floss Bobbin Pockets
After you have decorated your pockets, pin them in place where you would like them to be. I placed 3 pockets on the left side of the inner page of the book and above the cotton pocket I added one to become my pin cushion. I stitched these down on the left side, right side and then made small stitches down the center on each one so I can add 2 floss bobbins to each pocket, I did not stitch the bottom closed but you can if you would like. I added one of the 4' x 1 1/2" inch strips to the right side and I sewed this one down all around the outer edges and before I closed it all around I added a bit of fiber fill, (if you do not have fiber fill I have used a tissue before and it works just fine) **Just a note that do not fill this pin cushion to much because it will pucker the wool/felt fabric and will not fit well when sewing all of the final edges together......I took some of my fiberfill out because it puckered :)....learn from me. HAHA
Embellishing Your Book Cover
Now is time to take your stitched piece and fold your wool/felt piece that will be the cover half. I did not place my design in the center...I placed it a bit off center to the top left. Be creative and place your stitched piece wherever you want but remember you will have some flowers and leaves to finish with.....maybe you can cut out the flower and leaf pieces first, and play with arranging before you stitch down the cross stitched design so it will all fit the way you like.
|Pinned in place|
|Stitched in place and folded to see placement|
Tracing the flower and leaves
I love to use Freezer Paper with wool. Trace the flower leaf patterns onto Freezer Paper(dull side of paper) 2 times....you will need one piece for the darker green wool/felt and one for the lighter green wool/felt,
Iron onto the wool/felt (shiny side of paper down) cut around outer edges of paper to make it fit the wool/felt pieces. Cut out all of the shapes and pull paper off.
Lay the wool/felt flower and leaf pieces around an edge of the cross stitched design.....be creative here.....you can center your design and add some of the flowers to each corner, or maybe the top corner instead of the bottom corner.....have fun with this...When you are happy with your arrangement then baste in place.......Use your floss from the design, to embellish...I used the pink floss and made French knots in the center of the flowers, I used the dark green to stitch down the leaves and made some Lazy Daisy stitches in the flowers.....see close-up in the last picture.
Adding Button and Waxed String for closure
After the embellishment is finished you need to add the button and the waxed string
|see button placement|
See photo below for the button placement....the waxed string is stitched down behind the "Serenity Harbor" cotton pocket.......to make sure you will have the correct placement for the string.......lay the cover section with the inside section of the book together (wrong sides facing), fold in half and align placement of button and string
|close-up of waxed string , make sure this is sewed down on the wrong side of the wool/felt to hide the stitches.|
Assembling book pages together.With wrong sides together (cover page and inside page)pin around the outer edges (top and bottom sections only). Make sure all of your edges are lining up.....Your wool/felt might have become a bit out of shape but still line up your outer edges ...you can take care of any "out of shape edges later with a bit of the iron". Notice that I made a straight line down the center of the book. I took a ruler and using a light touch with a pencil I made a stitching line for myself and hand stitched down the center. After the center line has been stitched now it is time to stitch across the top and bottom of the book. I used a buttonhole stitch with a matching perle cotton.
The left and right sides are still open and at this point you will insert a cardboard into each side for the front and back pages of your book. If you feel your cardboard is to snug then feel free to cut it down....I did not have to cut the card board but everyone stitches differently :)
Your book is finished!!!
Please be creative and finish these as you like.....this is how I finished mine but I would love to see how you finished yours....so please send me a photo to stitchbythebay at hotnail dot com...
Thank you so much for being on this journey with me.....and one more thing I have included the Charm of the Dove for PEACE....I stitched mine down on my inside pincushion and I pray for all of you to have Peace in your lives!!!

In this present study we investigate the Radachlorin photosensitizer accumulation in K562 cells and Hela cells and determined the cell viability after PDT. Using the macroscopic singlet oxygen modeling and cellular photosensitizer concentration the singlet oxygen threshold doses for K562 cells and Hela cells were calculated.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved treatment that can exhibit onsite cytotoxic activity toward tumor cells. One of the main factors limiting PDT efficiency is tissue hypoxia derived from photodynamic action. PDT with pulse mode irradiation at the same peak fluence rates as in continuous wave (CW) mode and with appropriate irradiation parameters could be more effective in the potency of 1O2 generation and the cytotoxic effect enhancement by tissue reoxygenation. In this study, we demonstrated theoretically that the main parameter of pulse mode irradiation is the intermittency factor, which makes it possible to maintain the intended 3O2 concentration and to regulate the efficiency of 1O2 generation. We also showed experimentally that photodynamic treatment with pulse mode irradiation has congruent cytotoxicity to CW mode but induces preferable cell apoptosis. We assume that not only is cumulative 1O2 concentration is important in photodynamic cytotoxicity, but so is the temporal distribution of 1O2 generation, which determines the types of cell death.

U of I has initiated a study of the disturbing impact that mRNAs have on the menstrual cycle. The researchers have already been overwhelmed by the number of reports they have received from women experiencing really weird effects.
The social media are exploding with the bizarre stories that multitudes of women are sharing. I’m glad that somebody is going to look into it. Of course, most of the women who took these shots fulfilled their reproductive goals a long time ago, so at least that is good.

Check-in I arrived at Heathrow Terminal 3 at 1305 for my 1500 departure on flight MS778. Having recently joined Star Alliance (see online news July 10), Egyptair should eventually move to Terminal 1 to join the other member airlines, although no timetable has been set in place for this yet. For now, check-in for Egyptair is at Zone 3, where there was one desk open for first class passengers, one for business and five for economy. As both the premium desks were occupied, I was directed to one of the free economy counters, and was swiftly checked in and given a pass to the lounge. Business and first class passengers get fast-track security access (which for once was remarkably speedy) and I was airside by 1320.
The lounge Egyptair shares American Airlines’ Admirals Club (business class) and Flagship (first class) lounges, known collectively as “Lounge H”. Both have good facilities including wifi internet access, a large selection of newspapers and magazines, business centres, self-service snacks and drinks, and plenty of seating. I was advised that the flight would be called, and at 1445 an announcement was made that the inbound flight had been delayed, so boarding would start at around 1515.
Boarding The flight was leaving from Gate 34, and when I arrived there was a large queue snaking out of the seated area. Boarding had already begun so I joined the line until business and first class passengers were invited to step forward. I was sitting in seat 1D in first class and, once on board, was offered a choice of guava, cherry or apple juice (Egyptair is a dry airline), a selection of newspapers (mainly Egyptian), and an amenity kit, which in business and first class is Monteil-branded and includes moisturiser, a toothbrush, socks, an eye mask, a comb and a bottle of “refresher mist”. We were advised that there would be a further delay due to bad weather, and we eventually took off just before 1700.
The seat Egyptair’s Boeing 777-200 is configured with 12 seats in first class (in a 2-2-2 layout), 21 in business (2-3-2) and 286 in economy (3-4-2). The seats in business and first class are fairly similar, both with a width of 21.5 inches, and 9.2-inch individual TV screens. The differences are in the seat pitch (62 inches in first class and 40 inches in business) and recline (14.5 inches in first and 7.5 in business). (Economy class seats have a pitch of 33 inches, a width of 19.8 inches, and a recline of five inches.) Other features include a foldout table, a small storage compartment under the armrest and a drinks tray. The seat is fairly old-fashioned, but for a four-hour flight is perfectly comfortable. Looking around the premium cabins I estimated around half of business class was occupied, and five of the 12 seats in first were taken. An oddity in the seat numbering means that business class ranges from rows eight to ten, although they are in fact the third, fourth and fifth rows behind first class.
The flight Drinks were offered as soon as the seatbelt signs were turned off, with the dinner service starting shortly after. While there were no menus in either business or first, the starter consisted of smoked salmon and asparagus with a salad of feta cheese, cucumber and tomato and warm, fresh rolls. For the main course, several dishes were brought out on a trolley to be served at the seat. (There was china crockery but plastic cutlery.) I opted for chicken breast with vegetables and sautéed potatoes – other choices included beef kebabs, and fish and vegetarian dishes. A cheese and fruit selection was also brought round, followed by a choice of desserts and tea or coffee. I watched a film on the in-flight entertainment system from a choice of four fairly recent releases – they are not on-demand so if you want to catch the whole film be sure to turn your set on early in the flight.
Arrival We landed around one hour behind schedule, having made up about half the time we lost waiting to take off. We had been handed a booklet during the flight containing landing cards and general information on Egypt, so having filled these in before we landed it was a fairly straightforward process at immigration. (UK citizens pay US$15 for a visa on arrival.) Cairo airport is very busy and passengers should be ready to be approached by people touting everything from taxis to hotels. Depending on traffic, the city centre is between 30 minutes and one hour from the airport.
Verdict Attentive, friendly service and an adequate seat for this length of flight. Readers should note that Egyptair codeshares with Bmi (another Star carrier) on this route, with two daily flights served by Egyptair planes, and two on Bmi A320 aircraft. Other direct choices on this route include a daily flight with British Airways, and a twice-weekly service with Sudan Airways.
Price Lead-in prices for return London to Cairo flights start from £1,005 in business and £1,335 in first (including all taxes and charges).

Take Customer Service to the next level with WhatsApp Chatbot. Whatsapp Business API can be incorporated easily with contact centre management software.
It's been two years since WhatsApp released the WhatsApp Business API in beta mode in 2018 and has already begun to shift the perception of the brands that had the early benefit of testing it. In India, companies like – Book My Show, RedBus, etc. were the first enterprises to get the Business API from WhatsApp to test its usefulness in their respective industries. It is now gone mainstream and commonly used by companies in their search for improved customer service.
The WhatsApp Bot
WhatsApp Business API can be incorporated easily with contact center management software. Surbo powered Botsup bots can be integrated with WhatsApp and Helpdesk software to offer an optimized WhatsApp Bot and a streamlined customer care experience.
A WhatsApp Bot can be programmed in handling routine Customer
Support operations, and Marketing Campaigns apart from sending timely Alerts and Notifications. Following a conversational approach, the bot can answer the responses clearly. With ML processing capabilities and AI engine, the WhatsApp bot provides a higher degree of interaction besides supporting both multimedia files and geo-locations.
Needless to say, the WhatsApp Bot offers round-the-clock support for all customer requests. Live agents may also respond to queries with a live chat integrated with the WhatsApp API when the customer is on the app.
It is strongly advocated to reach out to consumers on a forum where much of their social time is spent. According to a recent report published in Forbes, the cumulative time spent on WhatsApp in three months was found to be whooping 85 billion hours.
Business API offers a free forum for sending conversational messages to a large audience. It's going to be a much better choice than age-old SMS campaigns. This ensures that your company runs an outstanding ROI channel using WhatsApp Bot. There are also no extra infrastructure costs associated with ChatBot integrations.
Building WhatsApp Bot
Step #1: Prerequisite for creating the WhatsApp bot is to have the WhatsApp Business API.
Step #2: The second step is to build a DIY bot while keeping the conversational flow structure at the forefront. Using Botsup, these no-code DIY personalized chatbots can be easily designed with nil coding.
Step #3: The third element is to be incorporated with the WhatsApp API docker framework. Once the integration completes, the end-user will submit the Opt on request and then start communicating with the WhatsApp Bot. Isn't that easy enough!
While WhatsApp has found its relevance and implementation in almost every industry, markets such as E-Commerce, Banking & Insurance, and Travel & Tourism have comprehensive business cases for its utilization in customer care or experience delivery.
No coding DIY bots from Surbo-powered Botsup can be integrated with WhatsApp Business API to get the best out of your enterprise. To know more, visit us now!

Lazio midfielder Pasquale Foggia considering QPR switch
Thursday 14 July 2011
Lazio midfielder Pasquale Foggia is considering a move to QPR, according to the player's agent.
The 28-year-old, who is under contract with the Biancoceleste outfit until June 2013, has been linked with a move away from Rome this summer.
"We are trying to find a solution," said Foggia's agent Marco Sommella to Tuttomwercatoweb.com. "We will see what the market offers.
"We are talking about an important player that deserves to play in an important league.
"There is the option of Cesena, who wanted him a year ago, but there is also the opportunity for him to join QPR.
"QPR are looking for a player to replace Adel Taarabt if he was to be sold to Paris St Germain.
"Hence, I don't exclude the possibility that Foggia plays abroad.
"We have to wait and see what the market has to offer also because in Italy everything seems to be at a standstill."

In Profile: Anees Mekhri, Product Designer at Urban Ladder
An observant eye. A creative mind. And her beloved pencils. These are Anees Mekhri’s tools of the trade. A product designer at Urban Ladder, Anees oozes talent. She also portrays an inexplicable love for furniture that dates back to her childhood. Particularly to her grandfather’s collection of the rarest remnants of the colonial Raj. Having grown up surrounded by beautiful furniture, Anees always appreciated good design. But it wasn’t until much later that she considered making it her passion her career.
An alumnus of the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Anees had first wanted to specialise in visual design. In the very first hour of her orientation, though, realisation struck. More a hands-on designer, Anees just didn’t see herself being glued to a computer. So she walked out of her orientation and requested to shift to furniture design. Why furniture in particular? “Because I wanted to create furniture like the ones I grew up with,” she says.
In the years to follow, Anees won the Idiom Scholarship, the Chandawarkar Scholarship Programme and the Commendation Award for the most innovative and unique project. Made entirely of recycled craft paper, her collapsible honeycomb furniture exemplified sustainability.
“Anees has the ability to translate the old into the new. She has an eye for and knowledge of most period furniture. Her designs are modest and can lift the overall look of any space,” says Pradeep James, Design Lead at Urban Ladder.
Anees’ inspiration for design comes from her exposure to art in many forms. Memories of her mother dabbling in knit work, embroidery, appliqué and crochet. A hearing impaired and mute granduncle, who let his paintings speak for him. And, of course, books. “I belonged to that lucky generation that didn’t always have access to the internet. So, books were my source of knowledge and entertainment. I spent most of my childhood nose deep in books, either at the school library or in the store room at my grand mum’s place,” she says.
When not churning out furniture designs, Anees wears several other hats. She loves reading, painting, doodling (cartoons aplenty), rock climbing, soccer, bike rides and motorcycles. She’s also a hoarder of beautiful stationery and a godmother to cats. Her ultimate dream, though, goes back to furniture. “Someday, I hope to have my own label, my own brand of furniture, and a nice cosy cafe to work out of,” she says, dreaming out loud.

Redi-Rock, Outcropping Shore Line Protection
Redi-rock and outcropping provide fantastic shoreline protection options for your residential or commercial shoreline property. Relying on the natural strength of massive stone as well as our technical and strategic knowhow, our certified crew of experienced professional seawall contractors at Lake Michigan Seawalls know a thing or two about marine construction, erosion control, flood control and protecting your shoreline property over the long term. Our beautiful, natural designs combined with our smart approach will protect your shoreline property from the elements better than the competition. Check out images on our website to get an idea of our past work.
Redi-rock is one of our staple retaining wall systems. It comes with many distinct advantages. If you’re looking for a retaining wall system for your residential or commercial property, redi-rock would make a fantastic choice. Our certified crew at Sewalls Michigan comes with years of design and installation experience and knowhow. In addition to the sleek look, redi-rock is easy to maintain given that it is made piece by piece. Just remove the single or few bad pieces and replace them with good stone and you’re ready to. An elegant seawall solution, you should be considering redi-rock if you live by a shoreline.
Nothing quite does the hard work of protecting an otherwise vulnerable shoreline from waves and erosion life redi-rock. We at Lake Michigan Seawalls recommend it as one of the go to retaining wall and lake wall solutions to maintain and enhance both the structural integrity of the building as well as the property value of your home or business. Redi-rock is a relatively easy to maintain and replace seawall solution. We recommend it for both residential and commercial clients. They are useful for marinas and on lakeside and river banks. In addition to the beautiful look, redi-rock seawalls get the job done. Call today for an assessment.
Outcropping is also a great seawall, flood and shoreline erosion protection solution. Outcropping seawalls perform the crucial function of acting as a barrier between your property and the waves of the nearby shoreline. The thinking behind outcropping is to take very large slabs of rock and array them in such a way as to mitigate or prevent harmful impacts of things like flooding and erosion. Strategic placement during the outcropping process is a major component of its design and installation. It’s one of those things you’d only want to entrust to professional and experienced seawall contractors like our certified experts at Lake Michigan Seawalls
Outcropping Shoreline Protection
\With outcropping shoreline protection from Lake Michigan Seawalls, you are ensured a high-end flood control and erosion control solution. For flood control, our outcropping shoreline protection solution serves to prevent damage in the event of an overcapacity of groundwater. It also fights back the phenomenon of erosion along your shoreline, whether it’s a lakefront property or along a river bank. Over time, water erodes natural protective layers. Outcropping slows that process down significantly providing reliable protection to your property. Erosion doesn’t just come from water, though, it also comes from high winds, ice and changing temperatures. Our outcropping solutions protect against all t

I really wanted to make a pair of Christmas socks this year… but it didn’t really happen. One, I finished these socks the day after Christmas, and, two, they didn’t turn out as Christmas-y as I had imagined. Which I guess is good, since that means I can wear them for the rest of the year. I’ll just have to wait for the end of 2018 to make some real Christmas socks!
I picked out these yarns at Mockingbird Moon in Rogers, Arkansas when I was visiting my family before Christmas. The red/white yarn is Mockingbird Moon’s own hand-dyed yarn (75/20/5 merino/nylon/stellina), and the black is a mini skein of Hedgehog Fibers sock in the colorway Graphite. I thought that the red, white, and black were sort of Santa-esque, and the stellina sparkle could only make the socks more festive. The overall effect is a lot more pink, though, so they’re not so obviously Christmas socks.
These are just vanilla socks with contrasting short row toe and heel – 64 stitches around on a 2mm (US 0) needle. The cuff is a 2×2 rib. I used the same number of stitches and same needle size as I did for my first pair of socks, but these turned out quite a bit more loose than my first ones, which is probably because my first ones had a lace pattern. I definitely like the fit of these ones much better: they’re easier to get on.
I really want to have more hand-knit socks, so I’m hoping to participate in Kristin of the Yarngasm podcast’s Box O Sox KAL in 2018…. meaning I need to get started working on a pair of socks for January! I think I’m going to make the Festoon socks by Rachel Coopey from Pom Pom magazine Issue 21, but I haven’t decided what sock yarn from my stash to use yet.
Aside from just wanting more socks, I also want to learn more toe/heel techniques while knitting my Box O Sox. And I think I want to do at least one pair of colorwork socks. What are you favorite sock patterns/techniques/tricks?

By producing laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) upon irradiation with linearly polarized pulses on metals or semiconductors we can achieve functionalized surfaces. For sample texturing we used a laser system consisting of a polarizer, a scanning head with F-theta lens and a positioning system. We used a picosecond solid-state laser with wavelength of 1064 nm and a nanosecond fiber laser with wavelength of 1060 nm. In this thesis we investigated LIPSS formation and its influence on surface color and wettability. We confirmed that LIPSS can be achieved using both laser sources. Polarization and wavelength of irradiated light played a key role in LIPSS formation, since LIPSS orientations were always perpendicular to the laser polarization and LIPSS periods being of approximately 92 % value of the laser wavelength. By experimentation we also determined the influence of the following parameters: pulse frequency, pulse waveform, marking speed, line separation distance, average pulse power, sample displacement out of the focal position and atmosphere. After laser processing in air, argon and nitrogen atmospheres we investigated a time dependency of surface wettability, textured on polished sample of stainless steel AISI 316. Results showed that formation of LIPSS and especially microgrooves (when being irradiated with high fluence light) in an inert atmosphere firstly increased surface wettability, but following air exposure surfaces became strongly hydrophobic. We managed to modificate a sample with originally hydrophilic behavior into a superhydrophobic surface with contact angle above 150°.

Business 40 Improvement Project now set to begin in 2016
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The Business 40 Improvement Project, which was slated to begin in downtown Winston-Salem in 2018, has been advanced by two years.
Renovations on U.S. Highway 421/Business 40 will now begin in the summer of 2016, DOT officials said Friday.
It will take four to five years to complete.
“We’re excited to announce the acceleration of this project, which will bring critical upgrades to one of the most heavily traveled roads in Winston-Salem,” said NCDOT Transportation Secretary Tony Tata. “Starting earlier means finishing earlier.”
During construction, NCDOT will completely close 1.1 miles of U.S. 421/Business 40 for up to two years. The department is currently working on building new detour routes such as the Salem Creek Connector and improving existing ones such as U.S. 52 and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in preparation.
DOT officials say the project schedule was moved forward by combining the Business 40 Improvement Project with a separate project to replace and widen the Peters Creek Parkway bridge over U.S. 421/Business 40, enhance the ramps at the interchange and widen Peters Creek Parkway from the interchange to First Street.

Daily we hear of people with different lifestyles, living lives blossoming with freedom and energy. People who are determined to follow a unique, a personal way. People with the courage to walk a road different to the one we believed we had to follow.
These are people who are going after their goals, who are living their dreams. People with an alternative/different/better life, whatever that means to them. People who care about happiness, wellbeing, self-expression, creativity; people who care about connectedness to others, about making a difference to others. People who know that being alive is special, who know that they are unique, and who know that their being more alive helps others to be more alive too.
Each day we see these people using what they are, what they have or what they can access, how they see things and what they know in order to find their joy. We see them looking for alternative, innovative, outstanding and creative methods to live their lives in their personal way.
These people are determined to change their actions and ways of being, their future, their environment; their communities, organisations and institutions; their society and their world. They have chosen to be active, to think for themselves, to be forces for change. They have chosen to be alive.
We have inherited a society, rules and ways-of-being that once made sense. We now live in a very-radically changing world, however, where knowledge, technology and possibilities are advancing day by day. The old rules are no longer optimal – in fact, they never were. There is room for everyone; and, we need everyone. Let’s allow and support each other to be more fully alive. We need to re-evolve to a new society and to new ways of being – individually and collectively. Let’s make room for ourselves to be ourselves, and let’s make room for everyone else to be themselves too. Let’s no longer label others as “them”, because they too are “us”. There are millions of species on earth; let’s not keep on imagining divisions within ours.
More than anything, let’s recognise that right now is simply radically unlike any time in history. (How crazily exciting is that!!). Together, we know so much more; we are so much more connected; it is now so easy to reach each other and even to meet each other; we are incomparably more empowered and informed; we are discovering things that were undreamt of a few short years ago. We have many and huge challenges to solve, but we also have a brand-new human toolbox for solving them, together; and we have unlimited possibilities to re-imagine and re-create our societies and our lives, in fundamental ways. In a deeply new sense, each of us can be truly alive while we choose to act, be and think differently – both individually and together.
Look at it this way. Given our current pace of change – in just 50 years time, life will be unimaginably transformed. Today IS the time for designing what that society and life will look like. Let’s make it deeply and richly amazing.
That starts with me and you. It starts with us. It starts with how we think, how we prioritise and how we behave today. It starts with choosing to be truly alive, now.
We are building an empowered, informed community to impact society and lives through a mind-to-mind ripple effect. A community who engage with hearts, but also with minds. A community of strong individuals committed first to changing themselves, and then to supporting each other and to changing their society. A community where we learn and grow by helping others to learn and grow. A community driven by dreams, but empowered and directed by knowledge. A community of different people from different environments; a respect-filled conscious community of different races with different lifestyles, aims and goals. A space for every race, every religion, every age, every gender, no matter the social class. A place of innovation, growth and re-evolution built upon trustable and relevant information. A space without division – that’s our vision.
Picture a community where everyone fits in; where you would fit in. Think of a space you can trust; where people are free; where everyone gives and takes, according to their abilities, knowledge and needs. Imagine a place where your life is changed thanks to what others add; and where other lives in turn are immeasurably better because of what you bring. Wouldn’t that be a better place? Wouldn’t it be a happier space?

Kurahashi H, et al. (2008) A regulatory role of the Rnq1 nonprion domain for prion propagation and polyglutamine aggregates. Mol Cell Biol 28(10):3313-23
Abstract: Prions are infectious, self-propagating protein conformations. Rnq1 is required for the yeast prion [PIN(+)], which is necessary for the de novo induction of a second prion, [PSI(+)]. Here we isolate a [PSI(+)]-eliminating mutant, Rnq1Delta100, that deletes the non-prion domain of Rnq1. Rnq1Delta100 inhibits not only [PSI(+)] prion propagation but also [URE3] prion and huntingtin's polyglutamine aggregate propagation in a [PIN(+)] background, but not in a [pin(-)] background. Rnq1Delta100, however, does not eliminate [PIN(+)]. These findings are interpreted as showing a possible involvement of Rnq1 prion in the maintenance of heterologous prions and polyQ aggregates. Rnq1 and Rnq1Delta100 form a SDS-stable and Sis1 (a Hsp40 chaperone protein)-containing co-aggregate in [PIN(+)] cells. Importantly, Rnq1Delta100 is highly QN-rich and prone to self-aggregate or co-aggregate with Rnq1 when co-expressed in [pin(-)] cells. However, the [pin(-)] Rnq1-Rnq1Delta100 co-aggregate does not represent a prion-like aggregate. These findings suggest that [PIN(+)] Rnq1-Rnq1Delta100 aggregates interact with other transmissible and non-transmissible amyloids to destabilize them, and that the non-prion domain of Rnq1 plays a crucial role to self-regulate the highly reactive QN-rich prion domain of Rnq1.

Corbin Bleu Rides to Promote Free Style
New motocross-inspired movie in theaters soon
If you’ve got a tween girl in your life you’re probably aware that High School Musical star Corbin Bleu has a new motocross-inspired movie “Free Style” coming out on October 9.
Bleu and some of his co-stars were on hand at a Kawasaki event at Piru Motocross Park in Piru, California to promote the film and the actor/singer took to the track. Bleu got geared up and took a KLX110 and a KLX140 around the track to have a little fun.
We can’t vouch for the quality of the motocross scenes in the film or Bleu’s riding ability, but Free Style appears to be aimed directly at the young entertainer’s fan base of not quite teenage girls who would like nothing more than to see him find love and win races.
If you’d like to see the trailer you can find it after the jump.

Well folks, another month has rolled around and it's time to announce the Member of the Month for July.
I recently caught up with fretburner and marked the occasion by asking him some questions so that we can all get to know him a little better.
Congratulations on being awarded the MoTM badge for July, fretburner. How do you feel?
Thanks, I feel good! I'm still surprised to have been chosen, considering the short length of time I've been posting here.
Your SitePoint profile doesn't give much away. Would you care to fill in the gaps and tell us a little bit about yourself: who you are (real name if you want), what you do for a living, and how you got involved in web development.
Yes I was trying to be fairly anonymous at first in case I made an idiot of myself on the forums! My name is Nilson and in addition to my day job I do some freelance web development and teach English as a foreign language.
I first started out by helping a friend of mine, a print designer who was getting into web design but didn't know where to start when it came to code.
Well, it's too late now, your cover is blown Anyway, staying with SitePoint, what brought you to the forums and what inspired you to start helping other members?
I've been a visitor to the forums for years, but I never felt confident enough in my own knowledge to start helping others, especially as there seemed to be many forum regulars who knew a lot more than I did. Recently I had a question that I couldn't find an adequate answer for by googling, so I decided to sign up here and see what kind of a response I got. While I was here, I spotted a couple questions which I knew the answers to, so I thought I’d have a go… once you start it can be quite addictive!
I know that feeling all too well - I think we should start a support group. But I digress ... You post knowledgeably in many areas of the forum and your posts demonstrate a strong programmatic knowledge. What languages and skill sets do you have?
And I've got to ask, where does the name fretburner come from? Is there any meaning behind it?
Yeah it comes from my hobby of playing the guitar, and aspiring to be as fast as some of my favourite players and blaze up and down the fretboard!
I've heard that you're the technical co-founder of a web start-up. That sounds very interesting. Can you tell me more about that?
Sure, the app itself is aimed at bringing construction professionals with specialist skills together with developers and consultants who are looking for those skills.
My job as the technical co-founder spans just about everything you can imagine that relates to running a web app, from writing markup, to building RESTful APIs, to server admin and deployment.
The broad scope is what makes it such a great job, as I get the opportunities to learn about and use such a wide range of tools and technologies.
And have you made your first million yet?
Haha, well things are growing slowly and steadily at the moment, but I'm still a long way off my own yacht or sports car!
I understand that you’re from the UK, but you live in Brazil. I'm officially jealous, but tell me - why Brazil? Was it tax purposes?
No, and I'm not on the run either! My wife is Brazilian, so she's the reason I'm here. She's still in the process of completing her PhD, which is why we've decided to stay for the time being.
So, is Brazil a nice place to live? What are the main cultural differences between Brazil and the UK that you have observed so far?
There are a lot of upsides to living here: the food is great, the people are very easy going and welcoming, and you see a hell of a lot more sunshine than you do in the UK! On the flip side, certain things like computers and consumer electronics are expensive here, and it's hard to find good tea.
As for cultural differences, I don't remember much coming as a big shock to me. The hardest thing to get to grips with has been the language - four years on and I still struggle!
Brazil is hosting the 2014 World Cup. I'm sure that's going to be amazing. Are you a football fan and if so, who do you think is going to win? (It's got to be England, hasn't it?)
Haha, well I have to say I'm not really a football fan. Everyone here is crazy about it though, so I guess between them and my wife I won't be able to escape it! I did see that England managed a draw against Brazil in a friendly the other day, but I don't think we'll be so lucky in the World Cup.
I'm afraid you might be right Anyway, moving on, do you have any hobbies away from the computer? You said you're a guitar player. Do you play in a band?
Away from the computer? Don't they call that eating and sleeping? But yeah I've been playing the guitar for about 13 years now. I'm not currently in a band, but I have played in an acoustic trio, and a rock covers band back in the UK. Other than that, I enjoy reading sci-fi (part way through the Dune series at the moment) and non-fiction, and I also like to watch series (recently finished Fringe, but into Person of Interest and Sherlock at the moment).
One of the benefits of MOTM is the chance for shameless, unmoderated, self-promotion ... Is there a website or a Twitter or Facebook profile that you'd like to draw our attention to?
I don’t really have anything like that to promote, but perhaps I could use this opportunity to say that I'm always interested in collaborating with other developers or designers on side-projects for fun or profit, so if anyone is interested just drop me a message.
So, before I let you go, two more questions: who's your favourite web personality (and why)?
I'm not sure I have a favourite. There are so many talented people out there doing interesting and inspiring things. Sometimes some of the best insights or most interesting libraries have come from random people that I've never heard of before.
And if there was one bit of advice you could give someone who wanted to become a better web designer / developer, what would it be?
Hmm, I suppose I'd say spend some time learning from other languages and their communities. You'll find fresh perspectives on things that you can bring back to your own projects.
Wise words! Oh, and hang on, I almost forgot the obligatory silly question: Star Wars or Star Trek?
Wait, isn't that three? While I do love Star Wars, I'd have to say Star Trek. I grew up watching TNG, DS9 and re-runs of the original series.
So people, it's over to you. Please join with me in congratulating Nilson on this very well deserved award

"The DX70 and DX80 were designed from the ground up to provide the best collaboration experience for every desk in an enterprise. Combined with the Collaboration Meeting Room service, users can have their own always-on private meeting room to collaborate with anyone on any device at any time. Only Cisco can combine this amazing hardware, the incredible software, and the powerful network to provide anyone with their own dedicated collaboration space in the cloud – and on their desk – that they can call their own," said Rowan Trollope, SVP/GM, Collaboration Technology Group, Cisco.
|Source: Cisco. The DX70.|
Additionally, the devices come equipped with Cisco's recently announced Intelligent Proximity, so the DX can be 'paired' with a user's mobile phone. This shares information on the phone, such as personal contacts and call history, as well as provides the capability to move calls that are in progress—similar to the way you can transfer a call from your mobile phone to your car.
These devices are well suited for shared work environments since they can "remember" different users; a user simply enters his login credentials and the device quickly serves up his stored settings, contact lists, call histories and more.
Cisco also introduced the IP Phone 8800 Series to mark its 15th anniversary of innovation in IP phones. Calling it 'the best-performing audio IP phone we've ever delivered', the phone includes USB ports on select models for easy mobile-device charging, and Cisco Intelligent Proximity for Mobile Voice so workers can import contacts and call history or move the audio path of a voice or video call-in-progress from their mobile device to their 8800 Series desk phone.

Prescription for Justice - Ignorance, Pseudoscience, and Democracy
This program explores the nature of pseudoscience and ignorance in the United States. I describe the characteristics of pseudoscience and how to spot fake news. I focus on health care, the environment, and threats to democracy. I define the characteristics of pseudoscience, common unscientific beliefs, and the roles played by education, religion, corporations, lobbyists, journalists, and politicians viz a viz informing/misinforming the general public. Pseudoscience and ignorance constitute grave threats to democracy, especially in light of reports of outside interference in U.S. elections and how easy computer scientists agree it would be to alter election results (something that could be easily prevented with relatively little investment to create a verifiable paper trail). Finally, I offer possible solutions for safeguarding education, truth, and democracy.

|Data preparation in Stata: Creation of dummy variables|
Johnson and Albert (1999) analysed data on the grading of the same essay by five experts. Essays were graded on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being excellent. In this exercise we use the subset of the data limited to the grades from graders 1 to 5 on 198 essays (essays.dta). The same data were used by Rabe-Hesketh and Skrondal (2005, exercise 5.4).

Number of observations: (rows): 990
essay: essay identifier (1,2,...,198}
The first few lines of the Stata data set essays.dta
The essays.dta dataset contains a variable grade which gives the grading of essays on a scale of 1 to 10 (the highest grade given is actually 8 in this data set). If we want to create a grouping variables/binary indicator/dummy variable for those essays that obtained a grade of 5 or over, as compared to those essays that got less than 5 we would use the command
pass=1, if grade (5-10), 0 if grade (1-4)
we can also do this by using the commands
gen pass = 0
The variable grader which identifies different examiners and takes the values 1,2,3,4,5. To create dummy variables for examiners 2-5, we can use
gen grader2 = 0
The first few lines of the new data, essays2.dta
This data set can now be read directly into Sabre, see for example, Exercise C3.

July is a great month to celebrate Americana by dressing in the classic and iconic color combo of red, white and blue. In my latest Bright.Style post for Old Navy, I’m sharing two outfits that centre around this palette trio. Whether you like to dress bold or keep it more subtle, there’s a look here for you! Click through after the jump to see my summer explorations around Williamsburg and Dumbo in Brooklyn, NY.
White denim – I can’t get enough of it! I love how color pairs with crisp and bright white. It really helps to make a look pop and gives gives it presence.Tuck your tees, guys! I love the easy, breezy vibe of a tucked tee – it also helps add movement to a solid tee, like this Surf design.By taking a bold and graphic approach to wear red, white and blue (or a combination of those colors) in a block format provides a solid base to introduce another element.The typographic ‘SURF’ wording adds interest to this red-white pairing, while also tying the denim into the top half of the look.Consider introducing a gentle explorer vibe into your Americana look. I did this via a Contrast Trim Fedora Hat – the perfect touch of texture.The faded white type and the overlay of the text over the pocket? It’s these little details that elevate an everyday outfit.There she is, my splash of blue! Remember: you don’t have to introduce red, white and blue in equal parts. In fact, it works best to pick a hero hue (in this case the white denim), then layer on the secondary color (the red tee) and round out the outfit with an accent hue (the navy blue trim of the hat).TBH I was probably thinking about chocolate, coffee or pizza here. Or maybe it was all of the above…!There’s no point in wearing a hat if you can’t have some fun with it, right?!OK, so you prefer your sartorial offering on the subtler side – no fear! This second look is for you.Go for a tonal, organic look in the white and sand scale to keep things quieter. Think: khaki joggers and cool denim jackets that are perfect for transitioning from day to night. Dressing in lightweight fabrics & delicate prints creates an effortlessly cool look.These shoes (similar) – I loved them from the moment I saw them! They are perfect for this white scale outfit because they add visual interest thanks to the organic print, but also a gentle splash of color via the blue hue. Always look to add a touch of something visually commanding into a tonal look to keep it from being boring.Yes, that’s avocado on toast. Get your ‘basic avo.’ snapchat filters at the ready, friends!This look is perfect for a day exploring the city on a hot summers day: the light layers mean you can be flexible as you explore. The breeze on the East River Ferry made it chilly so my white denim jacket meant I kept warm.Back on dry land and delayering to reveal a graphic black and white surf tee to keep the summer vibe running through my look. Which outfit details do you like best? How do you like to wear red, white and blue? // Art direction and styling by Will Taylor | Photography by Jean-Laurent Gaudy | Posted in partnership with Old Navy; all views my own.

Neill Mapes was awarded HCA/Marsh Trainer of the Year 2019, receiving his award at the HCA Annual Conference in March 2019. Neill has made the decision to gift half of his award money to the HCA in order to give support to a young craftsperson and the other half to his apprentice, Teresa Bailey, to buy her some tools. From all at the HCA we would like to thank Neill for this kind gesture.
I’m very humbled to have won this award. It really does mean a great deal to me. I’ll try and explain why.
My love for British woodlands and woodland crafts began way back in my childhood. Many influences, over the intervening years, have given woodland crafts a deep meaning to my life, sustaining me through some of the darker times. More than I could have realised. It’s been a long journey to the awards.
My extended family were a major influence. My maternal grandfather Clarry Tedd and my uncle Bryan Tedd worked in the silver, electroplating and silver engraving trades. Distant ancestors from Huguenot descent also worked in silversmithing and furniture manufacture, whilst many of my female relatives were also gifted in clothes and wool crafts. My great aunt was a dress maker in Paris. On my father’s side of the family, my great uncle created a Welsh stick chair in the Arts and Crafts style, which the family treasure.
My father was a designer of cutting tools. His work touched many of the car and aviation businesses in Britain with some of his designs being used to construct Concorde. His technical drawing was exemplary. He also won an award which makes me very proud.
In 1964 my family moved from Birmingham to Tenbury Wells in sleepy South Shropshire. My time playing in this area gave me a love of the copses, woodlands and orchards. One particular hazel coppice (sadly now built upon) gave me an understanding of how they grew: tall rods stretching to the sky. Being under the canopy of trees was very special and protecting. These moments have stayed with me for life.
As far as I can remember, working with timber has always held my attention. Early days of building dens and playing in the countryside felt right. Another great influence was the Scouting movement, building structures with large pine poles and ropes, outdoor cooking, camping and building ‘benders’ with hazel rods. I attended Burford primary school, where nature and growing vegetables were a big part of the school life.
An early memory of woodcraft was seeing barrel makers ‘coopers’ whom my father and I stopped to watch through big double doors. Every craftsman would stop and put down their tools; this memory has stayed with me. Why would they do that? That question has formed part of my view about crafts – show everything… hide it and lose it!
1970 was the year I passed my 11+. I was the only child from the school to be accepted at Ludlow Grammar School. I didn’t find academic schooling easy. I came to realise that the arts and crafts were more fitting in my life and I excelled at woodwork, although this could have been knocked out of me, literally, by my first wood working teacher who was a tough rugby coach. I remember asking a question at the wrong moment and got bashed on the head with a 2 by 2 piece of wood. Why that didn’t put me off woodworking I don’t know! Twelve months later a new teacher arrived – Mr Charlton – a very tall, bearded, gentle giant of a man! He really made classes exciting. His rustic furniture was my first introduction to working with timber in its natural raw state. We were also allowed to mill metal and turn bowls on a graduate lathe – I loved those days. I don’t have anything left of those early days of making. Table, bowls, copper enamelled panel, and even a bird box. Being allowed to design was magical.
Mr Charlton’s love of technical drawing wasn’t new to me as my father was good at this too. Using just a pencil and ruler to draw was something I enjoyed. I took my O-levels and got A+ in woodwork. I won an award at school for this. I also enjoyed art as well – other subjects not so well … but I ended up with 6 O-levels.
My favourite subject I hoped to continue to A-level, but this is where life has a habit of shutting doors on us. I was the only student who wanted to take Woodwork and Craft at A-level, the head master refused this. I had considered going to a John Makepeace furniture making course, however an A-level was a requirement. My parents had suggested an apprenticeship in stone carving at York Minister. So I had to make a choice; I decided to take Art, Geology and Physics.
I had briefly thought of a career as a cartographer. During my A-levels the head master kept my oil painting of trees in his office. During A-levels I was involved with stage and scenery construction; making models of stage productions I thoroughly enjoyed. I have enjoyed stage shows to see the scenery construction, as well as the event itself.
After A-levels I gained a place at Shrewsbury Art College. Here I was introduced to graphic arts, life drawing, pottery, photography and on a Wednesday afternoon, the chance to use the wood working workshop. I thought I had struck gold and wanted to join the furniture making course once my foundation art course was finished. I was told I couldn’t, as the course was full for the next two years – another door shut.
I applied for Arts degree courses at Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Coventry. I wasn’t successful – I don’t think my heart was in it. So here life took a different turn, with both Art and Woodwork closed to me. I ended up taking several jobs – one in a food factory and ended up moving back to Shrewsbury working for Safeway food retailers as a management trainee. One hundred hours a week for £40 a week was soul-destroying. This was the late 1970s, the winter of discontent and, still very vivid in my memory, this formed my view of the world.
I applied for a better job in the Fire Service, hoping I could find a way life. As you could imagine, sometimes this job was very stressful, punctuated with moments of joy and exhilaration when calls went well. Part of my respite from incidents was returning to the natural world. Volunteering with Wildlife Trusts and the then fledgling organisation, the Greenwood Trust (GWT), I attended hedge laying, coppicing, tree felling, and dry-stone walling courses, and gained a huge amount of knowledge. Seeing much of the timber from the hedgerows being burnt spurred me to start thinking about the way small round timber could be used. Here I bought my first basic carpenter’s kit to make small stools and chairs. I didn’t have access to a workshop but used the garden of the house I lodged in.
By the late 1980s I was occasionally volunteering at the Green Wood Trust. Here I met Gerwyn Lewis. His knowledge, expertise and drive were a major influence and they were very memorable and magical times. After one timber framing course, Gerwyn asked if I would be interested in being his apprentice. I would have jumped at the chance, had I not been in another job, and married with a child on the way. I couldn’t accept. I shouldn’t have regrets but that felt like an important opportunity missed.
I continued volunteering with GWT and latterly with The Small Woods Association. I attended more courses and continued making for pleasure, at home in a small shed/workshop I’d built at the bottom of the garden.
Throughout my further Fire Service career, I was given the opportunity to counsel young people on the effects of ‘playing’ with fire. Seeing the effects of the damaged caused by fire was a humbling time.
I moved from firefighting and chainsaw trainer to fire training and fire safety departments. I was the first dedicated Schools Fire Safety Officer, working in partnership with Telford and Wrekin, inspecting all schools in the borough within a 15 month period. During my time in the training department, I was trained by the Swedish fire service in dealing with compartment fires.
I’d struggled with depression and back injuries. Certain incidents had left an effect on me. A collapsed building, the effects of lightning striking a building close to where I was sat on a roof of a house, dealing with a fire caused by a previous lightning strike. They say lightning never strikes twice. It came very close.
One incident had a profound effect on me. A house fire where a mother and 2 young children tragically lost their lives. I still think about that incident, an incident that was to come back into my life more 20 years later. I’ll come back to this story later.
I ended up leaving the service after an industrial tribunal; the case ended up having a national impact on the Fire Service pension scheme. To this day I felt I was being used to achieve these changes. I was left in a very distraught state through the culmination of dealing with family illnesses, suicide, several deaths within my family that included my father, loss of my career, marriage break-up and subsequent loss of my home. In a matter of months everything had gone, including my self-respect. I don’t know where the strength came from to continue in life. Knowing I had to be there for my daughters was so important to me.
The support from my siblings, my daughters and my mother were key. But the support of close friends who had been through similar events in their lives, really helped. One friend in particularly, Granville Reeves, who was a woodsman, was a great support and friend. He and others encouraged me to start a business in woodland crafts and art work. The only way I could see forward was to start making and selling.
This moment of revelation, the light bulb moment, was during these dark times. Going to the trees and woodlands gave me hope. I look back over the earlier part of my life. I had a 30 year apprenticeship. I would sit and carve spoons, badly in the early days, I might add. This is really something I would advocate. Carving spoons is a good meditative craft and after several hours of carving, I can feel very mentally refreshed. Whatever I worried or felt anguished about, was gone. I felt a lot calmer and more at peace.
Chairmaking was also very important too. The use of a shavehorse and turning on a pole lathe really put me back in touch with the natural world and landscape. It is these days that helped me decide that starting an arts and craft business was going to be an adventure. Hard work and exciting too. It gave me self-respect and some control over my life.
Attending local events, shows and galleries, gave me hope and confidence because people starting buying what I made. It wasn’t long before The Small Woods Association offered me the chance to teach and tutor on projects and courses after I took a teaching qualification.
Working with groups of people who also struggled in their lives gave me a sense of purpose. I empathised greatly with them and built a rapport, helping them through my passion of woodland crafts.
It’s here where past career came to the fore again. I was tutoring a project for the SWA and a man who attended was really struggling in life. I realised it was his family that was involved in the house fire I had attended. At first I didn’t want to admit I had been there. He told me how the incident had completely changed his life. I sat down quietly and told him my part in trying to rescue his family members. There was a silence and he told me he wanted to talk to the rest of his family. The next day he told me his family were pleased to have been able to thank someone who had been involved. What he did not know was how it had affected me. The death of a young child and then a day or so later, carrying my newly-born daughter home was one that will live with me forever. Life is very precious. I made it my mission to help who I could. However small that help was.
Building up the business, I attended national shows, such as the Association of Professional Foresters (APF), countryside shows and even Christmas and food festival events. During these times I built up a social media presence and became admin on several Facebook greenwood and woodworking pages. Being a member of The Association of Pole Lathe Turners and Greenwood workers (APT) brought me into acting as participant and judge at several events, particularly the Bodgers’ log to leg races. I was continually supplying shops and galleries, and also took on commission sculptural art pieces for several Shropshire based organisations and councils.
A small woodland craft business needs many strands of income to work. Chairs, stools, spoons, cutting / serving boards and hand carved bowls formed part of my income. So did teaching courses, as well as producing digital art works on canvasses etc.
I worked for organisations such as Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Corndon and Stiperstones Landscape Partnership, Severn Gorge Countryside Trust and other county Wildlife Trusts, as well as SWA and other agencies such as the National Trust. This gave me a reputation of getting a job done.
About two and a half years ago I was approached by Richard Thomason (SWA Training Manager), to teach on a new project: ‘Building Better Opportunities’ – Build a bench. I was now part-time employed as well as self-employed. I’m very passionate about this project. Having been through tough times, I understand how tough life can be. Losing one’s self-respect and confidence is difficult to bounce back from. For me, craft work and a fledgling business gave me purpose in life. What I bring to the project is offering small stepping stones to people. Through making using basic greenwood craft skills, in natural surroundings, is a way to just be. To offer caring, understanding, kindness and empathy is key.
Everyone can make. It just needs a gentle approach offering support, guidance and encouragement. I found spoon carving very therapeutic; the concentration needed to carve took me away from the problems that filled my mind. The same for pole lathe turning too. My mantra is to send everyone home with a smile. To see someone smile, having just made something for the first time is a wonderful experience.
In my mind, I just think ‘LESS PILLS, MORE CRAFT’. Not without doctor’s advice, but it worked for me.
The key role of a tutor is emotional intelligence, a nurturing role. To hear comments like “I can’t wait to get here” has echoes of my own experience. The SWA site has a very special feel, something I hope is never lost. Tutoring is tiring and sometimes stressful but always exciting. I’ve dedicated many years of my life to helping people in all I’ve done.
The award means everything to me. If I can help someone in the craft that given me so much, then the hard work and turmoil I’ve gone through has been worthwhile.
I started out asking a SWA colleague, Julia Allinson, if it was possible to apply for an HCA award for our Heritage Crafts Trainee, Teresa Bailey. This was to try and find a way to get funding for tools. Little did I realise that both Teresa and Julia had applied on my behalf for the Trainer of the Year award.
To be nominated was wonderful. To be shortlisted and asked to attend the awards was amazing. A sense of ‘no, it won’t happen’, ‘I’ll just turn up and enjoy the day was all I could hope for. Both Teresa and I were honoured to be asked to attend the HCA event in London. My brother, who has witnessed my journey, was there to see me receive the award. I felt like I’d come home in that room of contemporary craft makers.
I’m indebted to those who have helped me get to here. Truly humbled. Craft has the propensity to heal, to encourage and to inspire. Society must not underestimate a person’s need to create in their lives.
I urge everyone to make.

These two volumes, intended for students and practitioners, are up-to-date and international in content. The textual material (two thirds that of our popular textbooks) is supplemented by many charts, tables, and diagrams and by numerous splendid reproductions of roentgenograms and photographs. The presentations are concise and clear, and have a vividness reflecting the authors' experience as lecturers. Most of the sections, such as those on cardiovascular or digestive diseases, are written by only one of the 29 authors. This contributes to the critical choice of content and to the balance between basic and clinical sciences. The exellent printing, organization, format, and index invite continuous reading or quick reference. The 280-page section on neurology, exemplary in its succinct presentations and supported by 160 excellent diagrams and illustrations, answers the wants of students and clinicians.
The newer fields of genetics, hereditary metabolic diseases, and drug-induced syndromes are well presented. The emphasis upon

Metro Loft Management LLC is under contract to buy the headquarters of American International Group Inc. in Manhattan, N.Y.'s Financial District for $270 million, The Real Deal reported, citing unnamed sources.
Vanbarton Group LLC is taking an up to $75 million preferred equity stake in the deal, while Blackstone Group Inc. is providing a $175 million senior mortgage, the publication added.
The insurance company was reported in May to have selected Eastdil to list the 684,000-square-foot property at 175 Water St. for a roughly $275 million sale.
Metro Loft plans to redevelop the top half of the building into residential spaces after the expiration of AIG's lease in 2021. AIG will relocate to the former Time-Life Building in Midtown Manhattan.
Metro Loft founder Nathan Berman confirmed the agreement, while an AIG spokesperson and representatives for Vanbarton and Blackstone declined to comment, according to the publication.

I recently discovered a new book about tiny houses that’s packed with photos and interesting information from people who live in tiny houses; some of them even built their own tiny houses.
Now, while I don’t think a tiny house is for me (we use our basement almost every day for our work and our hobbies), I can see how well the concept works for some people. In the new book Tiny House Living: Ideas for Building & Living Well in Less than400 Square Feet, author Ryan Mitchell shares the stories of a variety of tiny house residents.
My favorite is that of Kathy, a retiree whose son began building her a tiny house without her knowledge (“He knew if he told her ahead of time it would be a much harder sell, so he waited until it was almost done to show her.”) Kathy now lives in the tiny house with her husband, and has found that the tiny house has made some big positive changes in her life:
She can do all that she needs to do in her home, without a mortgage and with very low bills. Her power bill tops out at $25 a month and water is about $12—not because she uses that much, but because that’s the minimum charge to keep the service on….Since she is retired, it is very important to keep her living expenses low and it means that she can do much more, like visit her grandchildren more, go out to eat with her friends more, focus on her hobbies and simply not have to worry about the bills as much…..For the first time she has had the money and the time to visit her grandson for his birthday….
So many Baby Boomers don’t have big pensions waiting for them and were unable to save up much for retirement; a tiny house might be one answer to living successfully in retirement on only Social Security and some modest savings. If that sounds like you or someone you know, you should check out this book!
In the story about Kathy, she says that her friends with large houses are beginning to wish they had smaller homes to care for and more free time like Kathy does. But she says something holds them back:
It’s because they don’t know what to do with all their stuff that they spent their whole lives trying to pay for. They are so inclined to having stuff that it’s scary for them to think of paring down.
To Kathy’s friends, I say “Downsize, people, downsize! Lose the clutter and gain your freedom!”
One more thing: in most tiny houses, the sleeping area is always up in a loft. Who wants to risk falling down that tiny loft ladder in the middle of the night when they need a bathroom? But Kathy’s tiny house has a futon in the living area that turns into a bed, so she doesn’t climb up into a loft to sleep. Smart!

Exactly how do most organisations presently have a visibility online?

Sales funnels (also called advertising funnels) are multi-step projects that are created to move possible prospects via your sales procedure, as well as turn them into purchasers.
Photo a real-life funnel. On top, you pour liquid in, which narrows down to one fixed location.
In sales, a similar occasion happens. At the top, site visitors reach your site, yet not all who enter make it from the various other end as buyers.

Among the most effective attributes with ClickFunnels is the capacity to conveniently produce membership sites and supply content to your target market in one area.

- Market Hero
- And others
Nonetheless, ClickFunnels likewise has their very own effective automation device called Actionetics.
Although you can develop, timetable, as well as provide emails just like other e-mail advertising and marketing platform, Actionetics is so much extra.
I love Actionetics because it not just changes your email advertising but carrier marketing as well as SMS advertising and marketing software programs also. This takes automation to a whole brand-new degree and assists you connect the ideal message to your consumers, exactly when they need it. A video introduction of Actionetics will certainly be offered better listed below.

ClickFunnels integrates with significant payment gateways such as PayPal, Stripe, as well as InfusionSoft, among others.
While you can begin with the Free 14-Day Trial, there are three different prices options with ClickFunnels:
- $ 97/month.
- $ 297/month.
- $ 997 mass discount strategy (suggested).
I’ll go into detail for every of these plans listed below.
1. ClickFunnels Standard Plan – $97/month.
The basic strategy consists of all the features you would certainly require within ClickFunnels, but with constraints on the number of funnels (20) as well as web pages (100) you can have in your account, as well as how many visitors (20K) can watch your web pages each month.
You additionally do not get innovative functionality such as ClickFunnels very own e-mail advertising and associate monitoring devices.
2. ClickFunnels Etison Suite – $297/month.
This strategy consists of all the bells and whistles of the common plan, with no restrictions. It additionally comes with 2 extra items produced by ClickFunnels called Actionetics (email advertising and marketing) and also Backpack (associate monitoring system).
In Actionetics – you can manage all of your contacts that register for your listing, send out email broadcasts, and produce a host of various other automations. Benchmark Email Clean List
The difference between both plans truly is the constraints, and Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a standard user as well as do not expect to make use of greater than 20 funnels in your account – the Requirement Strategy should be enough.
Nevertheless, if you intend to have an affiliate program or wish to maintain your e-mail marketing within ClickFunnels and not make use of a third party software program, the Etison Collection is for you.
You could constantly start on the reduced strategy and also upgrade if needed.

ClickFunnels versus Everybody Else.
Lots of people ask just how ClickFunnels as compares to other landing web page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and Infusionsoft.
Essentially it’s not actually a reasonable contrast since each of these tools succeeds is one location or the various other.
The graph over gives a complete analysis – but I’ll highlight several of the significant comparisons below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Before ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the huge canine.
Leadpages is merely a lead capture software application – absolutely nothing even more. You can create landing web pages, lead boxes, accumulate leads … that’s practically it. In addition, the Leadpages templates are also limited on personalization.
ClickFunnels is far more versatile – it’s a lot easier to use and does so much more than create lead capture web pages.
Basically, Leadpages is actually just a landing web page building contractor, while ClickFunnels is concentrated around developing extremely integrated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a landing web page or sales page builder. It has several of that functionality developed it, but that’s not just what it’s understood for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that allows you to handle your entire customer data source. ClickFunnels has this capability with Actionetics, however it’s not virtually as progressed as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is also incredibly costly and pressures every brand-new client to pay $2000 for a mandatory kickstart coaching plan simply to find out how you can use the intricate system (which is infamously challenging to use).
ClickFunnels Associate Program
There are 2 major paths people decrease as ClickFunnels users.
Those that prefer to use the tool for their organisation – in hopes of one day attain both Comma Club (over $1M in earnings).
And also those that have an interest in making passive earnings as a ClickFunnels Associate and winning the Dream Automobile Competition (where they pay $500/$1000 to your desire car if you get to 100/200 active regular monthly signups, respectively).
With a monstrous 40% monthly persisting payment, ClickFunnels conveniently has among the greatest affiliate programs of any type of system out there.
That’s right – you make money a recurring 40% payment on every associate signup you make with the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program. Yet, what does that actually equate to?
The standard plan is a $97/month investment and the Etison Collection strategy is a $297/month investment. for that reason you make $38.80 each standard strategy and also $118.80 each Etison Suite strategy … each and every month!
Typically, every 100 signups will generate $4000/month in associate commissions (essentially relying on the number of Etison Plan individuals remain in there).
All-time Low Line
ClickFunnels is hands down the best platform if you are seeking to easily build high converting sales funnels.
Since it was constructed from the ground up to be the very best sales channel building contractor, it beats out every one of the competitors in that respect.
Externally, it may not be the most affordable product available – but if you utilize it to its full capability, your service will come to be extra lucrative as well as you will certainly save loan from not needing to utilize other tools. Benchmark Email Clean List

Making use of the generalized hypergeometric functions, we define a new subclass
of uniformly convex functions and a corresponding subclass of starlike functions with negative
coefficients and obtain coefficient estimates, extreme points, the radii of close-to-convexity, starlikeness
and convexity, and neighborhood results for the class . In particular, we
obtain integral means inequalities for the function that belongs to the class in the unit disc.

Some Persian Gulf nations want to kick Australia out of the Asian Football Confederation because of the country's dominance in international competition since its inclusion in 2006, The Age's Sebastian Hassett reports.
According to the report, some blame Australia from taking World Cup spots away from other countries in the federation. Australia has twice qualified for recent World Cups. Another factor countries have against Australia is that they are “benefiting hugely from Asian involvement without giving much in return.”
“There are indications that prove that such desire exists among the confederations of west Asia to evict Australia,” AFC president Sheikh Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa said. “But I also know that the Arabs are not the only ones who are not convinced that Australia's membership in Asia's football is feasible."
Salman said he was fine with Australia being part of the federation, but other nations could bring up the issue during the general assembly later this year.
Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop said he was surprised by the rumors about AFC countries wanting to get rid of Australia, saying the country has contributed economically to the AFC and is a top television market in the federation.
"We celebrate the diversity of the Asian region and this tournament has shown our contribution can go beyond football to create and foster social and political bridges between key trading partners in the region,” Gallop said.
Australia and South Korea square off in the finals AFC Asian Cup on Saturday.
