Just a few hours ago, it has been confirmed that the Jamaican bobsled team has raised more than $30,000 in the new cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which will get the team into the Sochi Winter Olympic Games this year. Surprisingly enough, most of the money has been raised with the help of an online community.
In an itv interview, Winston Watt, who is leading the Jamaican bobsled team, has shared his concerns about how the team will raise enough money on such short notice.
“I have to think about flights, accommodation, transportation. I also have to think about the race, and I don’t know where the funding is going to come from.” – Winston Watt
Reddit’s online community has already been known for its ability to change and move things thanks to its amazing community. The /r/dogecoin subreddit subscribers have not only helped to spread the message of the Jamaican team trying to raise enough money to attend this year’s Winter Olympics, but also have raised enough money to get them there.
One Redditor donates $20.000
One particular Reddit user has donated $20,000 to the glorious cause. Yesterday, Redditor dogefreedom, who chooses to remain anonymous, has transferred 20 million Dogecoin to the Jamaican bobsled team, securing them two thirds of the money they desperately needed to fly to Russia.
After collecting all the donations and converting them into Bitcoin, Dogecoin founder Jackson Palmer has confirmed that the community has raised 35 BTC, which, converted to USD, adds up to more than $30,000.
The story of Cool Runnings is again repeated. The Jamaican bobsled team is going to the Winter Olympic Games!

The Costa Brava is a large area in the province of Girona (Catalonia) extending from the paradisiacal beaches along the coast to the inland countryside dotted with small medieval villages surrounded by fertile croplands. One of these paradisiacal beaches is Platja del Castell, surrounded by pine groves, just 20 minutes from Begur.
More information at www.costabrava.org
Monells, a medieval village in Baix Empordà County, is divided into two parts on either side of Rissec Stream: a fortified area around the gardens of the former castle with a porticoed main square and arches spanning several streets, and another area dominated by the church of St Genís, originally Romanesque but with Gothic and Baroque features. From Monells, you can walk or cycle through fields and orchards to other medieval villages such as Madremanya, Cruïlles, Peratallada, Palau-sator.
You can also visit the Greek and Roman ruins of Empúries, one of the most important archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula. The Greeks settled in this beautiful area in the early 6th century BC. later, in the 2nd century BC, the Romans started out from here on their conquest of the Peninsula..
Absorb some of the Costa Brava culture by visiting the local museums, such as the Dalí Theatre-Museum, displaying works by Empordà painter Salvador Dalí.

Sound travels through consciousness and has the power to transform everyday occurrences through its qualities of tone, rhythm and vocal expression. Every breath and voice expression plays an important role for you at any place and time. Voice is not just sound, voice is energy.
Voice is an amazing transformer which can change a person’s mindset and thinking. Without a doubt, your voice is the best healing tool for your own body. That’s why it is normal to scream when you are not happy, to shout when you are feeling angry, or why a baby cries when they want something or they feel sad. Our voice works in different ways to help us express ourselves and release all the negative emotions within.
In vocal therapy, we focus a lot on vocal toning practice, because vocal toning is the equivalent of vitamins for your voice. The more you practice the toning, the more it will help you to strengthen the inner muscles and deepen your breath. Your body chemistry will also change and activate the healing needed for your body. Your brainwaves will also reach the calm frequency which is either Alpha or Theta.
Every voice therapy session is like a monthly rebooting of your hand phone and troubleshooting. It is important to ensure the efficiency of the system and organs to maintain your health and wellbeing. The voice therapy session will also help you to achieve a breakthrough and allow you to speak or sing more confidently with a clearer and brighter voice.
Your voice is your best doctor. The vibrations of the toning can fix all types of symptoms or illnesses, including emotional sickness. These include:
Free your voice and ready yourself for a brand new life. Everyone deserves the best, when you can voice out beautifully, your entire journey will be different and full of excitement. Don’t be shy, just be yourself!

By Sarah Mac Donald - 11 September, 2016
Next Sunday, Bishop Wiesław Lechowicz, Chairman of the Polish Bishops’ Council for Emigrants will act as the main celebrant at a Mass to mark the 170th anniversary of St Audoen’s Church in Dublin.
The Mass is part of a series of events taking place over September and October to tie in with a number of significant anniversaries for the Church and its parishioners.
Speaking to CatholicIreland.net, Fr Stanislaw Hajkowski SChr of St Audoen’s said the presence of Bishop Lechowicz at the celebration of 170th anniversary of dedication of St Audoen’s Church would be “a sign of respect for the Irish Church and her tradition”.
According to Fr Hajkowski, Bishop Lechowicz is one of the most active Church leaders in Poland in promoting new forms of evangelisation and reaching out to those who left religious practices.
“One of his roles is seeking opportunities for cooperation between Polish young immigrants and local youth in responding to John Paul II’s call for new evangelisation of the world.”
Fr Hajkowski said the parish would like to see former Irish parishioners from St Audoen’s or their descendants at the Mass. The homilist at the 6pm Mass will be Mgr Tom Stack.
This Mass will be followed a week later by a special Mass of thanksgiving on 25 September at 6pm to mark the tenth anniversary of the passing St Audoen’s church to the Polish Community in Ireland.
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin will act as the main celebrant and as homilist and concelebrants will include Bishop Ray Field, Chairman of the Council for Immigrants and Rev Ryszard Głowacki SChr, Superior General of the Society of Christ.
The Mass will be followed by a special anniversary concert of Polish medieval and modern sacred music. The choir, which will be drawn from St Audoen’s Church and other Polish chaplaincies, will be under the baton of Dorota Józefiak.
Later, in October a major conference on the role of Irish monks and Celtic Christianity in Europe and the beginnings of Christianity in Poland will take place as part of the 170th anniversary of dedication of St Audoen’s Church, and the 10th anniversary of transfer of that Church to the Polish community.
On 15 October, five historians specializing in the history of the Middle Ages, two Irish, two Polish and one from Denmark, will present their papers in English.
Fr Hajkowski explained to CatholicIreland.net that “in the tenth and eleventh century many Irish monks went to Poland to proclaim the Good News. Now, in many Irish dioceses the Polish chaplains serve both, the Polish and Irish communities. Close to 20 Polish priests serve only Irish communities – it is like a favour returned after ten centuries.”
The conference is taking place on 15 October in Glendalough Hotel and is open to the public. Those interested to participate are asked to write an e-mail with a name to: [email protected] in order reserve place.
The conference line-up is as follows:
‘Friendship and Community; its form and importance in the Past and in the Future’
09am Registration opens .
09.20am Tea and Coffee available.
10am Fr Stanislaw Hajkowski SChr, Coordinator of Polish Chaplains in Ireland, will declare the conference open in the context of the celebration of the 1050th anniversary of Baptism of Poland and the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Polish Chaplaincy, Dublin.
10.10am Marcus Losack: ‘An Introduction to Glendalough, it origins, brief history sketch to its abandonment to Dublin’
Marcus Losack is an expert on Celtic Christianity and also leads Celtic Pilgrimages. He is author of many books including the recent ‘The letters of St Patrick’ (2016) and with Fr Michael Rogers the much re-published ‘Glendalough; A Celtic Pilgrimage’ (1996 1st ed), Columba Press, Dublin. He is director of the Ceile De Centre and will give a presentation on the history and layout of Glendalough (The City of God).

Then on 16 October at 12:30pm, the Papal Nuncio to Ireland, Archbishop Charles Brown, will offer a Mass in thanksgiving Mass at St Audoen’s for the pontificate of St John Paul II.
The choir, Cantate Deo, drawn from the Polish chaplaincy in Limerick will sing under the baton of Anna Banko at the Mass. After the Mass, the Choir will perform a concert of sacred music.
Fr Hajkowski told CatholicIreland.net that before coming to Dublin, he had been a curate in the diocese of Dromore (2007-2013).
“Bishop John McAreavey has a programme in his diocese to integrate Polish immigrants with the local community by first integrating Polish chaplains with the local catholic community and clergy. I think his programme works very well in the diocese of Dromore,” he said.
Before coming to Ireland, he was a parish priest in Silver Spring, Maryland and a financial director of the North American Province of the Society of Christ in the USA.
“While in Silver Spring I combined my parish duties with studies at the Catholic University of America. I studied the history of immigration. One of my fields of studies was the history of Irish immigration to the USA with Professor McMahon and the history of the Catholic Church in the British Isles with Professor Trisco (1750-1900),” he explained.
The Society of Christ is a religious order founded by Cardinal August Hlond on 8 September 1932. Cardinal Hlond was Primate of Poland and participated in the Eucharistic Congress in Dublin in 1932.
The mission of the order is to organise pastoral care for the Polish immigrants and cooperate with the local Church in spreading devotion to the Eucharist.
“The mission of the Society of Christ could be compared to the missions of the Irish priests from All Hallows Seminary, Dublin,” Fr Hajkowski said.
The estimated number of Polish immigrants in the Republic of Ireland is 130,000 and 20,000 in Northern Ireland. In Dublin, there are believed to be about 70,000 Polish immigrants.
On 17 September 2006, St Audoen’s Church was transferred to the Polish community in Dublin. Fr Jaroslaw become its first Polish rector and chaplain for the Polish immigrants in Dublin.
The Irish Bishops Conference nominated Fr Jaroslaw coordinator of Polish chaplains in Ireland and for organising pastoral care for the Polish immigrants.
In 2013, when Fr Hajkowski became rector of St Audoen’s Church and coordinator of the Polish chaplains in Ireland, there were 30 chaplains serving different Polish communities in around 20 dioceses.

This beautiful home in Cudjoe Key, FL, 33042 was re-sided with James Hardie siding, ColorPlus BOOTHBAY BLUE, Cedarmill Textured Lap Siding, and ARCTIC WHITE Hardie Trim. We are experts at installing James Hardie Building Products in Hurricane Zones.
Because of our extensive experience in exterior renovations using James Hardie Building Products, and our fair pricing, we were selected to perform an exterior renovation on this home in Cudjoe Key. We replaced vinyl siding, much of which had already blown off during hurricane Irma, with James Hardie Fiber-Cement Building Products. We installed ColorPlus BOOTHBAY BLUE Cedarmill Textured 5” Lap Siding and ColorPlus ARCTIC WHITE Trim on the corners and window trim. We installed the siding on a 5″ lap because that meets the Monroe County high wind and design pressure requirements.
We also installed 1″ x 6″ Southern Yellow Pine V-Joint Board on Porch Ceiling, which our customer had pre-stained for us to make the job go faster.

Another year has passed and I think that 2017 was a great year concerning sneaker releases and hyped collaborations. Many new releases such as the Nike Air VaporMax or the Balenciaga Triple S as well as collaborations like the Nike x Off-White collection and the KAWS x Jordan 4s had a great impact on the sneaker community. 2017 marks the year in which 90's trends were revived and brands like FILA, Champion or Kappa were hot again. Surprisingly, the chunky 'dad-sneakers' became popular amongst the younger generation and it seemed like everyone wanted to have the most ugly pair of sneakers.
Besides new trends, 2017 brought back some OG silhouettes and colorways like the OG Nike Air Max 1 collection and of course the Nike Air Max 97, which made a major comeback and celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Since Gramps started to get into streetwear about a year ago, I asked him what his favorite pick ups of the year were.
Check out his picks below and let us know what you think about his top 5 list.
solebox x Reebok Workout Low Clean
Solebox teamed up with Reebok Classics to reinterpret the classic Workout Low silhouette. The sneakers feature a terry-cloth inspired upper and a gum colored outsole. They're inspired by '90s fitness' and the upper resembles a towels-aesthetic.
"I like the clean design of the shoes and of course the terry-cloth upper. Due to its simplicity you can wear the shoes with pretty much anything. I actually wore them to the gym once and my friends love them! It's a great sneaker and I love the silver solebox stitching on the back, the pink insoles and the special box they came with - everything's well-thought-out!'
adidas Nemeziz Tango 17+ 360 Agility
Inspired by adidas' football boots, the adidas Nemeziz Tango 17+ 360 Agility features an ultra boost sole and a textile upper covered in black and orange stripes. They released in a variety of colorways.
"I still can't believe how crazy they look on feet! I'm a big fan of adidas' boost technology and I like to stand out when working out. So these shoes were a no-brainer for me. The laceless design looks futuristic and they are so comfortable to wear thanks to the boost sole. When wearing these you're definitely sure to turn heads."

Reebok Classics Club C 85
First released in 1985, the Club C 85 is one of Reebok's classic tennis silhouettes. In summer 2017 the sneakers returned in a variety of colorways. Gramps secured this grey leather pair.
"Now that's a real classic! You can never go wrong with a clean pair of leather sneakers. This grey colorway is a nice alternative to the all white iteration and as you can see I already wore them a lot. Great and comfortable sneaker for your daily use!"

Nike Air Force 1 'Travis Scott'
Nike recently released their AF-100 collection which consisted of five collaborative iterations of the classic white Air Force 1 sneaker. One of those collaborations was with rapper Travis Scott. The shoes feature a white canvas upper, removable and interchangeable velcro swooshs, Travis' grills as well as patches on the laces, a gum sole and 3M lining with different colors.
"Absolutely beautiful. The white on white Air Force 1s are an all time classic so I had to get these. I love the interchangeable velcro swoosh and all the details on the sneakers. I like the fact that you can either wear them without the swoosh and all the accessories or go all in with two different swooshs. Great concept!"
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 'Zebra'
2017 was the year of the adidas Yeezy Boost V2. So many colorways were released and it seems that finally everyone can get a pair. Gramps secured the 'Zebra' colorway.
"I wanted to get a pair of Yeezys forever and this year I finally got them! The Zebra colorway is definitely my favorite and I love wearing them to the city or to work out in them. They're so comfortable and people always ask me how I managed to get them. The V2 is my favorite pickup of the year and I hope to get some more great sneakers in 2018."

Collaborative Group Activities
- The Voyagers in Astronomy feature on Annie Cannon: Classifier of the Stars discusses some of the difficulties women who wanted to do astronomy faced in the first half of the twentieth century. What does your group think about the situation for women today? Do men and women have an equal chance to become scientists? Discuss with your group whether, in your experience, boys and girls were equally encouraged to do science and math where you went to school.
- In the section on magnitudes in The Brightness of Stars, we discussed how this old system of classifying how bright different stars appear to the eye first developed. Your authors complained about the fact that this old system still has to be taught to every generation of new students. Can your group think of any other traditional systems of doing things in science and measurement where tradition rules even though common sense says a better system could certainly be found. Explain. (Hint: Try Daylight Savings Time, or metric versus English units.)
- Suppose you could observe a star that has only one spectral line. Could you tell what element that spectral line comes from? Make a list of reasons with your group about why you answered yes or no.
- A wealthy alumnus of your college decides to give $50 million to the astronomy department to build a world-class observatory for learning more about the characteristics of stars. Have your group discuss what kind of equipment they would put in the observatory. Where should this observatory be located? Justify your answers. (You may want to refer back to the Astronomical Instruments chapter and to revisit this question as you learn more about the stars and equipment for observing them in future chapters.)
- For some astronomers, introducing a new spectral type for the stars (like the types L, T, and Y discussed in the text) is similar to introducing a new area code for telephone calls. No one likes to disrupt the old system, but sometimes it is simply necessary. Have your group make a list of steps an astronomer would have to go through to persuade colleagues that a new spectral class is needed.
What two factors determine how bright a star appears to be in the sky?
Explain why color is a measure of a star’s temperature.
What is the main reason that the spectra of all stars are not identical? Explain.
What elements are stars mostly made of? How do we know this?
What did Annie Cannon contribute to the understanding of stellar spectra?
Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to determine these characteristics.
How do objects of spectral types L, T, and Y differ from those of the other spectral types?
Do stars that look brighter in the sky have larger or smaller magnitudes than fainter stars?
The star Antares has an apparent magnitude of 1.0, whereas the star Procyon has an apparent magnitude of 0.4. Which star appears brighter in the sky?
Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (yellow).
Order the seven basic spectral types from hottest to coldest.
What is the defining difference between a brown dwarf and a true star?
If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?
How would two stars of equal luminosity—one blue and the other red—appear in an image taken through a filter that passes mainly blue light? How would their appearance change in an image taken through a filter that transmits mainly red light?
[link] lists the temperature ranges that correspond to the different spectral types. What part of the star do these temperatures refer to? Why?
Suppose you are given the task of measuring the colors of the brightest stars, listed in Appendix J, through three filters: the first transmits blue light, the second transmits yellow light, and the third transmits red light. If you observe the star Vega, it will appear equally bright through each of the three filters. Which stars will appear brighter through the blue filter than through the red filter? Which stars will appear brighter through the red filter? Which star is likely to have colors most nearly like those of Vega?
Star X has lines of ionized helium in its spectrum, and star Y has bands of titanium oxide. Which is hotter? Why? The spectrum of star Z shows lines of ionized helium and also molecular bands of titanium oxide. What is strange about this spectrum? Can you suggest an explanation?
The spectrum of the Sun has hundreds of strong lines of nonionized iron but only a few, very weak lines of helium. A star of spectral type B has very strong lines of helium but very weak iron lines. Do these differences mean that the Sun contains more iron and less helium than the B star? Explain.
What are the approximate spectral classes of stars with the following characteristics?
- Balmer lines of hydrogen are very strong; some lines of ionized metals are present.
- The strongest lines are those of ionized helium.
- Lines of ionized calcium are the strongest in the spectrum; hydrogen lines show only moderate strength; lines of neutral and metals are present.
- The strongest lines are those of neutral metals and bands of titanium oxide.
Look at the chemical elements in Appendix K. Can you identify any relationship between the abundance of an element and its atomic weight? Are there any obvious exceptions to this relationship?
Appendix I lists some of the nearest stars. Are most of these stars hotter or cooler than the Sun? Do any of them emit more energy than the Sun? If so, which ones?
Appendix J lists the stars that appear brightest in our sky. Are most of these hotter or cooler than the Sun? Can you suggest a reason for the difference between this answer and the answer to the previous question? (Hint: Look at the luminosities.) Is there any tendency for a correlation between temperature and luminosity? Are there exceptions to the correlation?
What star appears the brightest in the sky (other than the Sun)? The second brightest? What color is Betelgeuse? Use Appendix J to find the answers.
Suppose hominids one million years ago had left behind maps of the night sky. Would these maps represent accurately the sky that we see today? Why or why not?
Why can only a lower limit to the rate of stellar rotation be determined from line broadening rather than the actual rotation rate? (Refer to Figure.)
Why do you think astronomers have suggested three different spectral types (L, T, and Y) for the brown dwarfs instead of M? Why was one not enough?
Sam, a college student, just bought a new car. Sam’s friend Adam, a graduate student in astronomy, asks Sam for a ride. In the car, Adam remarks that the colors on the temperature control are wrong. Why did he say that?
Would a red star have a smaller or larger magnitude in a red filter than in a blue filter?
Two stars have proper motions of one arcsecond per year. Star A is 20 light-years from Earth, and Star B is 10 light-years away from Earth. Which one has the faster velocity in space?
Suppose there are three stars in space, each moving at 100 km/s. Star A is moving across (i.e., perpendicular to) our line of sight, Star B is moving directly away from Earth, and Star C is moving away from Earth, but at a 30° angle to the line of sight. From which star will you observe the greatest Doppler shift? From which star will you observe the smallest Doppler shift?
What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and strong calcium lines. The Sun must therefore contain more calcium than hydrogen.”?
Figuring for Yourself
In Appendix J, how much more luminous is the most luminous of the stars than the least luminous?
Verify that if two stars have a difference of five magnitudes, this corresponds to a factor of 100 in the ratio (b2b1);(b2b1); that 2.5 magnitudes corresponds to a factor of 10; and that 0.75 magnitudes corresponds to a factor of 2.
As seen from Earth, the Sun has an apparent magnitude of about −26.7. What is the apparent magnitude of the Sun as seen from Saturn, about 10 AU away? (Remember that one AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun and that the brightness decreases as the inverse square of the distance.) Would the Sun still be the brightest star in the sky?
An astronomer is investigating a faint star that has recently been discovered in very sensitive surveys of the sky. The star has a magnitude of 16. How much less bright is it than Antares, a star with magnitude roughly equal to 1?
The center of a faint but active galaxy has magnitude 26. How much less bright does it look than the very faintest star that our eyes can see, roughly magnitude 6?
You have enough information from this chapter to estimate the distance to Alpha Centauri, the second nearest star, which has an apparent magnitude of 0. Since it is a G2 star, like the Sun, assume it has the same luminosity as the Sun and the difference in magnitudes is a result only of the difference in distance. Estimate how far away Alpha Centauri is. Describe the necessary steps in words and then do the calculation. (As we will learn in the Celestial Distances chapter, this method—namely, assuming that stars with identical spectral types emit the same amount of energy—is actually used to estimate distances to stars.) If you assume the distance to the Sun is in AU, your answer will come out in AU.
Do the previous problem again, this time using the information that the Sun is 150,000,000 km away. You will get a very large number of km as your answer. To get a better feeling for how the distances compare, try calculating the time it takes light at a speed of 299,338 km/s to travel from the Sun to Earth and from Alpha Centauri to Earth. For Alpha Centauri, figure out how long the trip will take in years as well as in seconds.
Star A and Star B have different apparent brightnesses but identical luminosities. If Star A is 20 light-years away from Earth and Star B is 40 light-years away from Earth, which star appears brighter and by what factor?
Star A and Star B have different apparent brightnesses but identical luminosities. Star A is 10 light-years away from Earth and appears 36 times brighter than Star B. How far away is Star B?
The star Sirius A has an apparent magnitude of −1.5. Sirius A has a dim companion, Sirius B, which is 10,000 times less bright than Sirius A. What is the apparent magnitude of Sirius B? Can Sirius B be seen with the naked eye?
Our Sun, a type G star, has a surface temperature of 5800 K. We know, therefore, that it is cooler than a type O star and hotter than a type M star. Given what you learned about the temperature ranges of these types of stars, how many times hotter than our Sun is the hottest type O star? How many times cooler than our Sun is the coolest type M star?

So did like 5 show for someone they claimed someone else made charges over months now i owe 300 crazy shit since I sent screen shot of me and consumers conversations stay away
Love IndieBill. I have been using them a few years now to sell clips through my website as well as through their storefront. Love that they pay direct to CAD bank accounts. Only downside is $300 max at a time payment but I can understand why with chargeback protection.
hi! you're the most recent reviewer.. can you tell me... Indiebill no longer allows recorded film sold, or tangible items like panties/socks... Are there other places that do? how does that work..
Always problems with the plugin, support 24hs but most of the time they can't give you a proper answer because they never knows it.
They stolen me money. I received 15$ for pre pay 10 min show from a complicated customer. He refuse to use camera and microphone, even when I warned that on this way he had to be patiente because if I'm showing my back I can't read what he's writting, he agreed. Once doing the show, a lot of orders and requeriments from him he asked for anal (my fee is 1,5$ x min but on my profile I wrote anal is 3,5$ x min), I refused and he stoped the call at minute 7:39.
He made a report, I sent to the support the screenshot where clearly the saw the full conversation and how rude he was, very demanding and the call duration. Well the gave him back 8$. So I performed for less than 1$ x min for a demanding prick, and the report was marked as a false report.
I complain about the payment and they told me that the desition was because I missunderstood what he wants and he had the right to get the money back because I couldn't make him happy with my show.
So ladies, if you want to work for free and be teated as a piece of meat with holes, go with SKYPRIVATE, they are experts in steal model's money and make scams.
Despiste the new system where you worked really hard to arrive to page 1 at the ranking and they now changed everything and put new models on top giving the traffick to the newies.
Good luck with the payments, if you have the luck to get it...
Girrrlllll, Me too! I have given way too many free shows because their stupid plugin! Grrr...I don't really ever sign into it anymore...
I'm assuming this is referring to stripchat tokens. They recently have been giving out delayed payments not sure if it's still an issue.
One of the least sex worker friendly offline payment options. Customer can see your real name and cancel your payment. I normally stick with cash app.
ALWAYS make sure that you first receive your Amazon gift before giving the customer the goods. I fell for a scam where a customer added 8k worth of merchandise off of my Amazon wishlist to his cart which on my end said it was purchased according to Amazon. The guy ended up being a troll and stuff never arrived and it still showed up as purchased because he had it on reserved.
Receiving these is risky. I used to get offered these in the past in exchange for Skype shows which I don't do anymore.
Daily payouts and no delayed payments!
My favorite site. They have my full respect because I've been with them for almost 2 years and have always paid me on time no delayed payments like other camsites.
out of the adult industry
Best ever. I really miss it so much. I never had any problems with them, everything was on time, support was amazing...
Used to be ok, before it blocked everyone out back in February 2020 and since then unable to withdraw the funds...
have u been able to get your money?
Blocked users money for 6 months. Stupid scam site, would never recommend
hi were u able to get your money?
CALLING THE ATTENTION of" PAxum Representative", I created a Paxum account last june 10th and sumited a Bank statement as my proof of address but until now i it wasn't verified yet because of some lack of an undefined "security element. I think you need to clarify what you mean by security element as i went to the bank and actually ask for that security element and they do not know what is it . Your company states that you accept a bank statement as proof of address and then you reject it for lack of an undefined "security element". This is not something a potential customer should have to ask a legitimate business to define. My Bank statement has all the information you where asking for, It's on bank letterhead, gives the branch location, my address is on there and even my account number is on there. It is the entire page!
Hands down, the best payment provider. I always recommend them to newbies. Quick, easy to set up also from a client's side, friendly support, the layout isnt too overwhelming and they are simply amazing.
I only use this site for tribute/tip payments. Since I've been camming but I haven't received anything on here so yeah
Ah, cashapp! Cashapp is nice, except for it's support is a joke. There's no number to call and if you email them you'll be put on an automated loop for a while. Make sure you take pictures of all your cards and store them somewhere, because you never know when you're accidentally gonna lock yourself out of the app and it will be like "to verify, do you have this card that you lost 6 months ago?" or "how about this phone number you switched". I actually had an incident for months where cashapp tried to tell me my bank account and ID wasn't real. It has since been resolved, but seriously it's a testament to how bad this payment processor's customer service is. My advice : if you use cashapp, make sure you don't need customer service.
I've always had problems with paypal. They weren't there for me when I was scammed on ebay and sided on the scammers favor. The scammer spoofed my buyer and pretended to be them and redirected the address. Now I hear they're not adult friendly and have been warning all my friends in SW not to do business with them. Their customer service is trash, their support is trash, I honestly don't know why people love them so much.
More than 1 year and i never seen the paxum card...
I subcribed in August 2018...
From 2018 to 2020 i Just receive some fake answer... They Say ti me there was in late with paxum card for too much request... After 1 year and half they keep the fees for a paxum card that never Sand to me... I ask why and than they give me back fees 'cause in my country cant Sand the card!!!!! They Say i can use another card in this site... So i try with 30 dollars with my Visa card... Nothing work... Now i have on there 0 Money again for inactive profilo lol It seem a joke!!!! I Lost 30 dollars for nothing, i Lost times for pm every month and never give to me even a pax card... For me Is a scam! I dont undestand why all site use this for payments...
They were good until this FCA issue happened. One thing you need to know that no online payment provider (offshore) is a 100% reliable and it's not smart to keep your money in an e-wallet even for 1 day. Im glad I always transfered my income the day I received it so they couldn't lock up any of my money. Also, as a camgirl be aware that these payment providers might work for 1 year and end up like this... from one day to another- gone!
100%. Sometimes people need these é-wallets because they don’t really have another choice. But DO NOT leave you money there!! Transfer to your bank or withdraw as soon as you get it!!
They make it almost impossible to withdraw money, I tried with 2 different MasterCard, and they rejected the transactions several times, giving lies instead of explanation. Looks like they just want to lock your money, and scam people. I never had the same issues with Epayments before, also the transfer fees are high. Avoid using them.
It works fine with their own card. I was able to load it immediately, in the night at weekend. They say, it is free to load money to the card, but they take 0,5 eur for the confirmation SMS. Pay attention to this, if you want to load all your money to the card.
Anyway, you are right, it seems, they dont want us to send our money outside of the system.
It may be better to load the card and withdraw everything at the ATM immediately.
Yes Karen. the transfer fees are high. High way robbery.

HAELAN 951® (and its precursor 851®) deliver the outcomes other soy products and their producers endeavor to copy. Be that as it may, with more than 10,000 assortments of soybeans and the endless blending possibilities of the protease inhibitors, isoflavones, saponins, phytates, phytosterols, and phytic combinations that are conceivable, it is essentially impossible for an outsider to copy Haelan’s products. Additionally, Haelan’s fermentation process and other trade secrets, developed and enhanced in the course of the last 15 years by specialists in the United States and China, consistently show their predominant outcomes in the market place.
Haelan’s predominant outcomes are achieved by the absorption and delivery, at a cellular level, to both typical and anomalous cells, the isoflavones and other concentrated micronutrients that are naturally occurring in soybeans. In addition, Haelan’s proprietary processing produces compounds that are not found in other soybean products, even if they are fermented products. Haelan’s oral assimilation of proteins in the bloodstream achieves the lower levels of intravenous hospital nutrition (at a cost normally exceeding $1,000/day) to improve the nutritional profiles of those who are suffering from malnutrition. Manufacturers of “dry” soy products cannot achieve the assimilation levels necessary to improve the nutritional profiles of those who are suffering from protein calorie malnutrition, nor do they prevent the heat destruction of enzymes and other heat sensitive compounds derived from soybeans.
The push of Haelan’s research since 1990 has been to enhance fermentation processing, micronutrient osmosis, and raw material blending in order to maximize the synergistic results of the naturally occurring compounds found within soybeans. Since that time, different enhancements in processing, selection of raw materials, and a continuing research program have constantly produced more efficient products that produce results that are unmatched. A significant number of Haelan’s clients have heard the story from different manufactures who tout clinical studies and published success stories highlighting Haelan’s 851® and 951®. They say “we have a same thing”; yet when you read the labeling (on the off chance that they have them) you find that the raw materials are different, you can see contrasts in appearance, and when they use the products we get reports that the outcomes are different.
Individuals taking other soy products may experience unhealthy life giving energy losses, as measured by photon emissions from the body, whereas healthy products conserve the body’s life giving energy and reverse health problems. The above graph demonstrates a correlation of the “health” energy (6+ reading) experienced by a user taking Haelan’s 951® Platinum Formula, as compared to the “negative” energy (-800 reading) experience by the same person using a competitive product. The lesson to be learned is that all soy products are not equal. When processing plays an important factor in determining product results you can’t look at the labels and compare products. With regards to future results, no better indication of future results can be predicted than by looking at past performance. Clearly the performance “track” record to be envied belongs to Haelan Products, Inc. Experienced doctors and clients alike will tell you Haelan’s 951® products set the standards.

A measles and malnutrition crisis has killed at least 72 people, mostly children, in Indonesia’s remote province of Papua, home to the world’s biggest gold mine.
As Rebecca Henschke and Hedyer Affan report, the crisis has put the spotlight on a region closed off to journalists for decades and revealed serious government failings.
Just two months old, Yulita Atap’s life has already been brutally hard. Her mother died in childbirth. Her father gave her up for dead.
“In the cloud of grief he wanted to hit her, to bury her with her mother,” says her uncle, Ruben Atap.
“I said, don’t do that, God will be angry, he became calm and was grateful that we wanted to take care of her, but we are now struggling to keep her alive.”
She lies limply on a bed in the only hospital in the Asmat regency, a jungle-covered area the size of Belgium. Her ribs exposed, nearly piercing through her skin, her stomach bloated, she floats in and out of sleep.
Yulita Atap’s family travelled for two days to reach this hospital
Government health workers helped him make a two-day journey on a speedboat up a river to get here. The rivers are the highways, weaving like snakes through the thick jungle. On the next hospital bed is Ofnea Yohanna’s family. Three of her children, aged four, three and two, are severely malnourished.
She married when she was just 12 years old. Still in her twenties, she has six children. “We eat when there is food, when there isn’t we don’t. We don’t have a boat at the moment to go fishing in,” she says.
A proud tribe
Traditionally, the Asmat tribe has lived on sago starch extracted from palms, and fish from the rivers and sea.
“Asmat is, in its way, a perfect place. Everything you could possibly need is here,” wrote Carl Hoffman in his 2014 book about the disappearance and presumed death of New York socialite, Michael Rockefeller, in Asmat in the 1960s.
“It’s teeming with shrimp and crabs and fish and clams and sago palm, whose pith can be pounded into a white starch and which hosts the larvae of the Capricorn beetle, both key sources of nutrition,” he wrote.
The Asmat tribe from Papua perform their traditional dance
Michael Rockefeller, the child of a New York governor and from one of America’s richest families, came across the world to Asmat to collect the tribe’s elaborate and impressive art that includes stylised giant wood carvings.
The art of the Asmat people is found in top museums across the world and is prized by collectors.
Rockefeller’s black and white photos from his journey to visit the Asmat people, at the time cannibals and head-hunters, amazed the Western world.
Changing diets, fading traditions
The semi-nomadic Asmat tribes used to spend months in the forest to make sago and find enough food to live.
Cultural changes began happening in the 1950s with the arrival of Christian missionaries, and in recent years diets have dramatically changed with increasing number of migrants from other Indonesian islands coming here.
The nearest city of Timika, an hour’s flight away, serves as a centre for the US-owned Freeport mine, the world’s largest gold mine.
“People increasingly buy imported food and because in some places the forests have been logged they have to go further to get sago,” says local health researcher, Willem Bobi.
“So now the quickest thing is to buy instant processed food; government money has come in and made our people dependent.”
A native Papuan, Willem Bobi travelled across the vast jungle-covered area and described the dire health situation in a book, The Asmat Medicine Man, which was published last year.
“I knew a crisis like this would come. I saw there was a lack of clean water and a serious lack of health facilitates. I saw health clinics where the only doctors had been on leave for months but were still being paid wages.
“The crisis we are seeing now has happened many times before but it has never been as bad as now,” he says.
“It’s happening because the health authorities have not dealt with this seriously enough.”
Aid brought in
As news spread about the measles outbreak, President Joko Widodo ordered military and medical teams to bring supplies to remote villages. Health workers and paramedics vaccinated more than 17,300 children, and authorities now say the measles outbreak is under control. The military says it is now running a year-old monitoring operation in the area to find out where problems are.
However, the head of the military medical teams acknowledged that Jakarta’s response was slow. “Let’s be honest, maybe the local and national governments became aware of this [outbreak] late,” Asep Setia Gunawan, the military’s medical taskforce chief, told AFP.
Papua has been a sensitive region since it became part of Indonesia in the 1960s following what some historians allege was a flawed UN-supervised vote.
Just 1,063 people were selected to vote. The province is incredibly resource rich, home to the world’s biggest gold mine, which is one of Indonesia’s largest taxpayers.
The government says Papua is an integral part of Indonesia and that this has been recognised by the United Nations. But a low-level separatist movement, fighting for independence, continues to this day.
The military has been accused by rights groups of gross human rights abuses in its attempts to suppress any dissent.
Until recently foreign journalists were not allowed to report here. I had to get special permission from the police to travel here.
There was unrest while we visited; a women was shot dead. Police said she was among villagers who tried to help a man escape arrest.
He was accused of selling ore concentrate, which he had allegedly taken from the cargo dock of US mining company Freeport-McMoRan.
The women’s family say she was an innocent bystander. And now police are conducting an internal investigation.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, on a visit last week to Indonesia, said he was concerned “about increasing reports of the excessive use of force by security forces, harassment, arbitrary arrests and detentions in Papua”.
He said the Indonesian government had invited the United Nations to send a mission to the province, something it would do soon.
New funds, new problems
In an attempt to ease tensions, Papua was granted greater autonomy in 2001, and there has been a significant increase in government funds for the region, with Jakarta vowing to bring prosperity to the people of Papua.
But Ruben Atap, like many Papuans I met, suggests the wave of cash has mainly benefited a select few.
“Our local leaders take the money and use it for themselves. They don’t think of their people and fill their own bellies,” he said.
“This is a lesson for us, because throughout this time the special autonomy funds have been disbursed as a block grant to the provincial government – even though special autonomy has specific purposes,” she said last week.
The Regent of Asmat, Elisa Kambu, said the problem had wider issues.
He said people in Jakarta “just talk about money, that lots of money comes to Papua; money alone cannot solve this problem”.
“Asmat is a wake-up call for us all,” said presidential advisor, Yanuar Nugroho.
He said a number of other areas in Papua could face the same health crisis and Asmat was just the tip of the iceberg.
“The problem lies with the local government,” he said.
“Maybe then it will not be easy to get money anymore and people will go back to the old natural ways of finding food,” he says, laughing.
“But of course that’s going to be very hard, because now it’s easier [to] buy instant food.”
A proposal President Widodo to relocate Asmat people scattered throughout the jungle into a town, so they could be close to medical services, was immediately rejected by local leaders.
“Moving people is not as easy as that because we have culture, customs, land rights and connection to the land,” says the regent, Elisa Kambu.
And in the wake of the crisis the government has vowed to invest more in health facilities across the remote area as well as schools.
“What do you hope she will do after that?” I ask.
He laughs nervously.
‘I don’t know what her future will be like, we are just trying our best to help her survive.”

I’m a freelance designer/illustrator. I’ve been working from home for the past 16 years. I’ve watched my two little girls grow up to be young ladies and having that opportunity has made me very lucky.
My background has always been in production/pre-press and design. When I started making overhead tokens over 15 years ago as a hobby I had no idea it would lead to such a fulfilling career. I’ve been very lucky to have so many supportive patrons and of course a loving wife who stuck with me in the early years of my token career.
As a hobby I like to game and create gaming material, I’m most widely known (in the virtual gaming circles) for my overhead tokens which this site should showcase well enough.
I’ve been DM’ing and playing since the early 80′s. While D&D has been the largest part of that game time I have dabbled in other role playing games. I also enjoy many types of war-gaming and board games.
Thanks to everybody who stops by and has a look or picks something up. I appreciate every bit of support I get.

Hypothesis: Experimental work raises the possibility that in utero repair of myelomeningocele (MMC) may improve lower extremity, bladder, and bowel function, ameliorate the Arnold-Chiari malformation, and decrease the need for postnatal shunting. Design: We previously developed fetal lamb models to create and reverse lower extremity damage and the Arnold-Chiari malformation in utero. We then applied our extensive experience with fetal surgery, including fetal endoscopic (fetoscopic) surgical manipulation, to develop techniques for MMC repair. Setting: A tertiary referral center. Patients: All patients treated between 1998 and 2002 for a prenatally diagnosed MMC. Interventions: Either fetoscopic MMC repair, fetoscopic patch repair, or limited maternal hysterotomy and microsurgical 3-layered fetal MMC repair was performed. Main Outcome Measures: Gestational age at delivery, survival, neurologic outcome, and need for ventricular shunting at 1 year. Results: Complete fetoscopic repair was accomplished in 1 fetus. Two other fetuses underwent partial fetoscopic procedures. The remaining 10 patients underwent limited maternal hysterotomy and microsurgical 3-layered fetal MMC repair. Four of 13 patients died, and the mean gestational age at delivery of 11 fetuses born alive was 31 weeks. Five of 9 required ventricular shunting by age 1 year. In 2 patients, lower extremity function improved by more than 2 vertebral levels compared with prenatal ultrasonography. Five of 10 patients who lived longer than 3 weeks required postnatal wound revision within 7 days after birth. Conclusions: Fetoscopic repair, although feasible, does not yet yield optimal surgical results. Open surgical repair before 22 weeks' gestation is physiologically sound and technically feasible. One third of patients appear to be spared the need for a shunt at age 1 year, but improvement in distal neurologic function is less clear. Additionally, fetal mortality is associated with this procedure. Our results complement the data published by groups at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania, and Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. A National Institutes of Health-sponsored prospective randomized trial is now underway at these 3 centers to compare fetal repair with postnatal repair.

The Boston Globe’s editorial page today endorses a terrible idea: tolls that rise or fall depending on the time of day and the amount of traffic congestion. The editorial describes “variable tolling” as “a technology that keeps traffic manageable by raising prices during busy periods, thus giving drivers an incentive to use the highway at other times.”
Well, I’m fortunate enough to be able to drive off-peak most of the time, so I would be able to take advantage of those low rates. But the vast majority of drivers do not have that luxury.
Far better to improve public transportation so that people have a positive incentive to get out of their cars. Sadly, the transit system gets worse and worse. The carrot is gone, and the stick grows longer.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Andru, Suman Author's Email Address email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org URN etd-11112009-190811 Title Genetic Linkage Map of LCP85-384, Genetic Diversity of A S.Spontaneum Collection and the Contribution of S. Spontaneum to Louisiana Commercial Germplasm Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Agronomy & Environmental Management Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Kimbeng, Collins A. Committee Chair Johnson, Charles E. Committee Member Myers, Gerald O. Committee Member Pan, Yong Bao Committee Member Knott, Carrie Committee Member Mishra, Ashok Dean's Representative Keywords
- S. spontaneum
- Linkage mapping
Date of Defense 2009-11-09 Availability unrestricted AbstractSequence related amplification polymorphism (SRAP) marker technique was used to assess genetic relationships and diversity among genotypes of Saccharum and allied genera. In the SRAP technique, the primers were arbitrarily designed with an AT- and GC-rich motif to anneal introns and exons, respectively. The level of polymorphism observed proved that the SRAP system was robust and amplified markers across species and genera and established evolutionary history interconnecting members of the Saccharum complex. The resolving power of the SRAP markers coupled with the fact that some of the amplicons could be amplifying gene-rich regions from diverse loci of the genome, was indicative of its potential usefulness for linkage and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping in sugarcane.
S. spontaneuam has been the most important source of wild germplasm for sugarcane cultivar development in Louisiana. Genetic diversity and structure of 51 S. spontaneum genotypes in the local collection (USDA, Houma, LA) was assessed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Fifty-one genotypes grouped largely according to their geographical origins namely Central and East zones. The contribution of alleles from the S. spontaneum collection in the modern cultivars was low and about equal. This study also allowed us to realize that S. spontaneum germplasm representing the west zone was not present in the collection.
A framework genetic linkage map of ‘LCP 85-384’ was constructed using 300 selfed progeny based on 773 single-dose (SD) markers generated by 64 AFLP, 12 TRAP and 19 SSR markers. Out of 773 SD markers, 717 markers were assigned onto 108 co-segregation groups (CGs) with a cumulative map length of 5,384 cM. With the estimated genome size of 12,720 cM, the map covered an estimated 42% of the genome. Of the 108 CGs, 31 CGs were assigned into 12 homo(eo)logous groups (HGs) based on the SSRs and information from the parental maps. Repulsion phase linkages studied suggested the preponderance of disomic segregation between CGs within the homo(eo)logus chromosomes. The framework map established in this study will provide an important background for mapping QTLs associated with sugar related traits and thus, information will be useful for crossing and selection of clones in the breeding program.

We at Littleton Family Dental suggest most patients have routine dental checkups and cleanings performed every six months. These cleanings and examinations allow our hygienists and doctor to examine your oral cavity for any dental conditions that may have developed or progressed. During our dental examinations, we also check the health of existing restorations and advise the necessary steps should they require replacement.
Tooth fillings play an integral role in maintaining good oral health. Dental fillings are used to repair early-stage decay, repair minor tooth fractures, and for conservative esthetic procedures.
We are a mercury- free office, and we realize that many patients still have silver/mercury fillings (amalgam fillings) from previous dental treatment. Not only are these fillings less esthetic, we know that by design, these silver/mercury fillings ultimately result in weakened tooth structure. Tooth-colored fillings (composites) are not only more pleasing to the eye, but are much more conservative restorations for your teeth. The new bonding material and techniques used for these filling may actually strengthen weakened areas of your tooth.
Dental restorations are required by patients who suffer from decayed, chipped, or cracked teeth. Patients whose teeth are discolored may also benefit.
Composites (tooth-colored fillings): This type of filling is advantageous, not only esthetically, but they allow the doctor to create superior fit to your natural tooth. These fillings are bonded to your tooth, ensuring a tight fit. These fillings are used for restorations when there is enough tooth structure present to support a filling for sufficient restoration. Most, importantly, these filling contain no mercury! They do not expand and contract with temperature changes causing cracking of you tooth as the amalgam fillings do.
Amalgam is no longer used in our office. They corrode, leak and cause staining and fracture of your teeth and gums.
Inlays and Onlays: These restorations can be made from porcelain, Zirconia, or gold. These restorations are made in a dental laboratory and then bonded to your natural tooth. An inlay is similar to a filling, but the material used for the restoration is more durable, making them an attractive restorative choice. An onlay is similar to an inlay, but is more substantial in size covering a cusp of a tooth. Traditionally, gold has been the material of choice for these restorations. But with the advances in Zirconia and porcelain systems, these materials have grown more popular for their superior esthetics.

I believe that there are three pillars that all "Greats" stand on, and yes there are exceptions to the rule, so first lets clarify what it is I'm actually writing about. "How do couples find a GREAT wedding dj" now those who've read a little of my ramblings will know that it can be exactly that rambling, but this one will keep circling back to that question above (see what I mean).
I'm approaching it from two view points (I hope) the clients, and of course, from behind the decks.
In my experience, (what little of it there is) people who are Great at what they do have similar traits. yes thats Great with a capital G, not "yeah great, wot ever" but the type of Great with a few exclamation marks after it ok? There are the practical aspects of their Greatness, the first of the two pillars.
1. SKILL; (Some are born Great) yes natural talent is the exception to skill. But only as a starting block, even those who are gifted, collect new skills and improve upon their existing ones.
2. EXPERIENCE; (Some achieve Greatness) there is no substitute for having a little dirt under your nails, if you haven't done the task, then reading about, watching others do it or talking to others about it, will not make you Great at it.
The third pillar is less tangible, yet in my opinion the most valuable.
3. PASSION. (Greatness thrust upon them) I touched on this last post, Passion is not passive. To be Great at any thing you have to be passionate about it, YOU HAVE TO BE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT. No grey area here, no grammatically correct lower case type: PASSIONATE. (maybe a litte too much http://garyvaynerchuk.com/ for me today?)
Thanks for reading that wall of text, over the next 3 posts I'm going to take each of the pillars and DJize (its my blog and I can invent words here if I want to ) them. If you're looking for a Great wedding DJ or your on this side of the deck with me, I hope you'll find it worth the read.

Evolution of perspective: Airman finds balance after diagnosis Published Feb. 17, 2015 By Tech. Sgt. Vanessa Kilmer 92nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Washington (AFNS) -- (This feature is part of the "Through Airmen's Eyes" series on AF.mil. These stories focus on a single Airman, highlighting their Air Force story.) Senior Master Sgt. Daphne Soto never meets a stranger because each encounter opens a door to a potential new friend, or to someone who just needs to talk, and she'll keep the door open for both. This 24-year Air Force veteran will weave a serpentine path through cubicles and offices just to say hello to every Airman, regardless of rank. Her conversations are sprinkled with laughter and seasoned with southern flavor when she reveals her roots with the occasional use of the word, "child." For Soto, the 92nd Air Refueling Wing Equal Opportunity director, it's not just part of her job. A self-proclaimed "sweet girl from South Carolina," Soto has always held tight to one goal from the moment she enlisted: to always give her personal best. Soto said she knew her lofty goals would require more attention, and possibly sacrifices, but she didn't recognize the magnitude of the impending imbalance. Her aspirations formed blinders that cloaked lost time with her family, and shrouded symptoms as her body began to rebel against her. Early in her career, as a telephone switch operator ("Operator 22") and then as combat crew communications, her ambition was the ever-present shove toward more responsibility. "I wanted to be the chief master sergeant of the Air Force," she said. "I think everyone's had that little moment." Soto's appetite for responsibility left her family hungry for her presence back home. As a mother of three and wife of an active-duty crew chief, she described 12-hour days that didn't end when she returned home. She said she would bring work with her, and take phone calls on her home phone, even late in the evening. This was when cellphones were new, she noted. "I've always tried to be a good mom, and a good wife and a great Airman," she said. "But I soared at a cost ... because I sacrificed all of that precious family time. I was on every TDY; I never turned down an opportunity. There was a time that my husband and I weren't even seeing each other. I would kiss my kids goodnight, read a quick bedtime story and then get right back on the phone." She was on that cycle for almost 18 years, which she admitted took a toll on her as well. "When you're used to being that go-to person and having to live up to that expectation, and not being able to say no -- it takes a lot," she said. "And then you find yourself saying, 'You've got to say no.'" Soto said she justified this brutal schedule because she saw it as purpose, a part of her legacy. "I thought I was being a role model to my children, and making my husband proud being that breadwinner," she said. "So you lie to yourself. You lie to yourself to say, it's all worth it in the end. You convince yourself that it's going to justify it all once you hit that goal." For almost 20 years, Soto charged through, made rank, earned more awards and accolades, with the support of her husband, Master Sgt. Damon Soto pushing her forward. Every extra hour she put in meant an extra hour away from Damon, but he accepted the sacrifice, "...because I love her, and that's what she wanted," he said. "And she's way smarter than I am." He acknowledged that it was difficult to balance school, work and children, but their partnership kept them going. "When her schedule was hard, I picked up as much slack as I could and vice versa," he said. "My thought was if we didn't, everything would fail." It was 2010 when life for Soto changed. In two months, she had inexplicably lost weight — down from a size 6 to a size 00. For about two years, Soto had noticed changes in her body, nothing to raise alarm, but the weight loss began to bring everything in focus. She advocated for a referral to see a doctor who would be able to diagnose her symptoms. After Soto's doctor heard about her weight loss, he waived his three-month wait list and agreed to see her within the week. It was just 30 minutes between the beginning of the examination and the diagnosis she had begun to expect -- cancer. Soto described driving home from the appointment and pulling over because she was overwhelmed with the weight of the diagnosis and blinded by uncontrollable tears. She said she distinctly remembers the primal urge to talk to her mother. "My mother said, 'It's going to be ok, we're going to get through it.' And you know, I didn't really have a choice, because I had three kids and a husband to worry about." For Soto, whose life and career had been going at full-tilt for more than two decades, everything suddenly stopped, and her life aligned itself along a completely unexpected trajectory. After her diagnosis, Soto said she had a crash course in cancer. Because of the aggressiveness of the disease, she had to make very quick decisions to determine the course of her treatment and elected to undergo two invasive surgeries. Prior to her diagnosis, Soto was chosen as the primary organizer for her career field's upcoming utilization and training workshop. This is the workshop where attendees develop all of the equal opportunity career field's training requirements. After her second surgery, she was confined to her home for six weeks, facing a six-month convalescent period and completely dependent on the man whom she called her rock -- Damon. During that time, she said she came to a powerful realization: The workshop was held on schedule and her career field's training curriculum was developed -- without her. The mission went on. "I think that's when it all started coming together," she said. "I said I have to shift my priorities, and it's ok to take care of me." Upon returning to work, Soto said she had a new perspective. She said she found a new rhythm, and started feeling more effective at a slower pace. The slower pace gave her time to think things through, be clearer with expectations and the confidence to say, "no," instead of trying to complete the task no matter the cost. "It's ok to say, 'no.' It's ok to say, 'I can't do it all,'" she said. "'I can't' is not a bad part of your vocabulary, unless you are completely giving up, and I wasn't doing that." Not only did her work improve because of her honest communication, she said that by taking care of herself she saw more value in taking care of others. "I was so worried about my career; what was I doing for others?" she said. "And now I realize, I don't have to supervise a soul -- it's the Air Force's Airmen, they are all my Airmen." These connections, Soto said, helped her embrace and understand the importance of, "Mission First, People Always." "I'm not here just to transition an individual to the next rank,” she said. “I'm here to transition them to things that are going to be ... throughout life." With only a few months left until retirement, Soto has Florida and her dream tea shop in her sights, but is still focused on her Airmen. "I don't believe in ROAD (retired on active duty)," Soto said. "I will work until that last duty day, even if that is just walking around and saying hello to every Airman. I will do my personal best. That is my goal with leaving the Air Force and living life."

The first, and possibly the most important step in your new search process, is to identify your requirements clearly. Although this may sound fairly straightforward, our experience is that its worth spending time to lay these out clearly and make sure they’re aligned with your flat mate/partner/family before drawing up a brief for your dream property and embarking on your search.
Worth considering when you draw this up are:
1 Lifestyle choices
- The length of time to commuteto your place of work
- Ease of access to transport links
- Proximity to the gym/outdoor space/places linked to your hobbies
- Distance to amenities such as grocery stores/pharmacies/post office
- Access to places to meet up with friends like coffee shops/pubs/restaurants etc.
2 Schooling & education
If you have children and you are moving, this probably tops the list of important choices that you’ll need to make and will strongly determineyour neighbourhood requirements
- What commute time to school is acceptable?
- How close to your children’s school mates are you willing to move (this has implications for managing play dates)
- School rankings etc.
3 Health &well being
Do you suffer from allergies? If so, you’ll want to avoid things like carpets, mould and humidity. You’ll also want to make sure you have large windows, which you can open to get some air (away from any major road, traffic lights etc.).
How much can you spend on monthly rent and council tax, after taking intoaccount utility bills (electricity, gas, water), phone, Internet access and transport costs? In addition to your monthly budget, make an estimate of the expenses that you’ll incur in relation to your move, in particular the agent fees and deposit (usually 4-6 weeks of rent) that you’ll be asked to pay upfront, along with 1 month’s advance rent. If you’re not able to provide proof of regular monthly income allowing you to cover the rent (e.g. you’re running your own business, or work as a freelancer), then the agent/landlord may ask for a higher deposit (e.g. up to 2 months in addition to the 1 month advance on rent).
We recommend that you rate and prioritise your requirements, for example on a “must have”/“nice to have” basis to create your “dream property profile”.
This will help you to clearly brief agents on what you’re looking for, in particular on all the criteria that you have listed as a ‘must-have’ for you. In the absence of a clear brief, you may find that you are wasting a lot of precious time viewing properties that do not remotely meet your requirements.
For more advice, download our full toolkit in our Tenant’s Guide to a Smooth Move (for free), or you can learn more about our Sherpa services and how we can help you in your search and do the heavy lifting for you.
Happy home hunting!
Looking for a home to rent in London? Then be prepared for a whirlwind of a time over the next couple of months. Thankfully, there is a method to help manage this madness!
In the absence of a clear brief, you may find that you are wasting a lot of precious time viewing properties that do not remotely meet your requirements.
Nestled between Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill and boasting canals and the charms of Little Venice, the St John’s Wood/Maida Vale neighbourhood provides a village atmosphere that appeals to young professionals and families alike.

“Those gates are not to keep the water out, they are to keep my land in,” laughed Captain Randy, our island guide, dolphin discoverer, ecological expert and local jokester. A resident of the coastal community of Folly Beach just outside of Charleston, South Carolina, Randy is exactly what comes to mind when you conjure up an image of a boat captain – tanned, almost-leathery skin, bare foot and adventurous. The only thing that seemed to dictate his work was the tides.
On a recent road trip to Folly Beach, I found the realities of Hurricane Irma and rising sea levels not in class, but on a small boat weaving its way through the South Carolina waterways. Driving over the bridge into Folly, you are met with beach bars and stilted houses. Seventy degree weather treats locals on the alarmingly-warm February day. Tie-dyed swimsuit covers, ice cream shops and beach-themed snow globes filled the main street stores. But signs of the recent devastation after Hurricane Irma also lined the streets. Houses were missing docks. Scraps of wood and buoys floated onto shore. The Morris Island lighthouse leaned a little bit extra to the right.
Yet the true hardships were found within the residents of the communities whose homes now lack siding and whose docks have floated out to sea. Randy shared how drastically property values are affected without the mere addition of a boat dock. Wooden piling replacements alone had cost him $7,000. He described the horrifying vision of looking out your front window and seeing the lighthouse that normally stands tall now underwater.
But this seemed to be the norm for the residents of Folly Beach. Randy spoke about winds exceeding 100 mph and floods burying the streets as though it was more than a common occurrence. With sea levels rising and further erosion in the small town of Folly Beach, it has become the norm. A lighthouse that once stood on its own island now lies alone in the midst of the sea. And Captain Randy floats on, simply trying to keep his land in place.

From the Landsknecht trousers of the 16th to the parasol ruffles of the 19th century, a kind of fabric decoration was employed that would make a modern tailor turn away in horror: Slashing and pinking. Slashing means that slits and/or holes are made smack into the middle of the fabric not just any old how, of course, but in pleasing patterns. This technique was predominantly used during the 16th century and was only rarely used in the 18th century, usually along the edges of ruffles.
Pinking, on the other hand, was quite popular during the 18th century, especially around 1750-70, when robes were decorated with lots of ruffles and ruchings. Pinking means cutting the edge of fabric into little bows or zig-zags. You may be familiar with pinking shears which are normally used to make zig-zag cuts that prevent the fabric from fraying. 18th/19th century pinking was basically the same, only that they didn't have pinking shears. They used iron punching tools with sharp edges instead. Unlike most modern pinking shears, those pinking tools could be rounded and have scallops (rather than zig-zags) within.
Pinking made it unnecessary to neaten the edges of ruffles the normal way, i.e. by turning them twice. Ruffles are meant to be light and flowing, after all, so a turned edge would be too stiff and heavy. Pinking doesn't work for just any fabric, however. Apparently it was, in period, only used on silk. A portrait of Madame Pompadour wearing a printed cotton gown exhibits rolled edges, and in fact pinking cotton isn't easy.
There's a picture in Diderot's Encyclopédie, chapter "L'Art du découpeur", of a woman pinking a length of fabric and of various pinking tools. One of the tools is straight and has pointy zig-zag teeth, so I deduce that modern pinking shears can be used. However, scalloped edges look better and are more typical of the period. The most beautiful edges are made by 2.5-3 cm wide half-circle irons for sleeve ruffles and ruchings, and 6-8 cm wide 1/3 circle irons for larger ruffles, such as the ones on the petticoat.
The follwing hints are based on my experiences with pinking tools:
The most important thing is a hard surface that doesn't resonate. The woman in the Diderot plate is owrking on a thick board laid across her knees, which may be quite comfy with regard to posture, but it is not at all efficient. Just think of the weight of a board thick enough to endure repeated hammer blows without breaking and add to that the vibration of the blows. I can't imagine that her knees would survive that for a whole day, not to mention weeks.
The more the surface resoinates, the more hammer blows you need to cut multiple layers. For eight layers of taffeta, it took me 7-8 blows on tiles over concrete, 5-6 blows on concrete slabs over gravel, and 2-3 blows on a massive concrete step sitting on a concrete wall. In case of a couple of metres of ruffle, this can make the difference between muscle ache or no muscle ache. My recommendation, therefore, is to use very massive concrete or actual rock as a subsurface.
Place a wooden board and a thick layer of paper on top of the concrete for the tool to bite into as soon as it has passed through the fabric. I believe that in period, lead or leather were used, but I haven't tried that yet. If there isn't a soft layer underneath the fabric, the tool can't bite all through the fabric.
If the piece you want to pink is something small, you should pink one layer at a time, or maybe the right and left sleeve ruffle at once. If you're pinking a couple of metres of straight ruchings, it is more efficient to fold the fabric sand punch through 4-8 layers at once. Make sure that all layers lie exactly parallel on top of each other, escpecially if the fabric is patterned. Pin the layers together to prevent them from moving, but take care not to punch through a pin.
Now you need a hammer. Use the heaviest one you have available. Place the pinking tool onto the fabric, take care not to move around too much, and then hammer as long as it takes to go through the fabric. To check whether you've gone through, keep the pinking tool in place with one hand and pull the fabric away from the back of the tool. If you can pull it clean away or if it's only a matter of a few threads, you're through. If not, strike some more blows and try again.
Never mind if a few threads still hang on. Cut them later with embroidery scissors or similar.
According to some informants, you may be able to find something like it in leather shops. Some sutlers in the US carry them. When I shopped for one, Greenmanforge (see purveyors page) had the best prices and good service. When ordering a custom-made oinking tool, don't forget to specify not only the width but also whether you want a half-, third- or whatever circle.
Be sure to never use the tool on a surface that is almost as hard or even harder than iron, lest it become dull. A humid environment isn't becoming, either, because it would rust even after a few hours. As with a knife, you should regularly use a suitably-shaped whetstone.
And what if it has become dull nevertheless? You might try a shop that sharpens scissors, knives and other tools, but I doubt that they'd be able to cope with the little scallops. The maker of my tools recommends small, ceramic whetstones as are used for wood carving tools. Someone who carves woold may be able to point you in the direction of a supplier of such whetstones, teach you how to sharpen your tool and maybe quote a shop that can sharpen tools like yours. I was told that it's most important not to change the bevel.

You are welcome here.
Wow. It’s so good to sit down and write again for some sort of “web” source. I missed this. I missed pouring my heart out into words and sharing things that are stirring inside of it. I sat here for a long time staring at this screen because I honestly didn’t even know where to begin with what I wanted to share. One thing I want to start with is what you can expect here and expect from me- that’s always a good place to start! Honestly, most of what you’ve seen before. If you have followed along with me on Instagram for awhile then you’ll see they are all things that I am walking through with the Lord, motherhood, the beauty of homemaking, and the call that we all have in this life- to love one another.
In this season of life, more than ever, the Lord has shown me time and time again that my biggest honor and mission is being an example to my husband and to my children of what it means to love Jesus. That my daily life is an invitation of hope, love, true joy, and servanthood of the Lord. Why do I choose to do mundane things in my home with thankgiving? Because the Lord has given them to me. I’m learning more and more that the Lord’s table is always set and always ready for me to sit and partake in His bread and His wine. It’s me that allowed my circumstances to hinder me from approaching Him and His presence. It's me who allows the distractions of this life to affect how I approach my Jesus, my Wonderful Counselor. It’s me who allows the world to creep in and put the value on who I am and what I do. It’s a daily choice of showing up and deciding who is worthy of my worship. Who is worthy of praise in the mudane? King Jesus, who sees me in all things and walks with me in all things.
Another thing you can expect on here is finished beanies! I am truly excited about this. Please head on over and check them out after you’re done reading! This beanie launch and website update feels extra special. I feel like this is the first time I’ve fully designed colors and photos in a way that feels genuine and true to my heart. One thing I have reflected on is that if my creativity is driven by getting attention, I will never be creatively fulfilled because its no longer about using the gift that God gave me, but by pleasing man- that my creativity will always fall short. But when it is held in the hands of the Lord, who creates all things, it will be purposeful and beautiful. All of this is for the glory of Him and I hope each beanie received is loved and cherished.
I’ll keep it short but before I go I would love to encourage your heart with some Scripture:
“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith- that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit- just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call- one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 3:14-4:5
Can’t wait to come back here soon to write some more. Until next time, Alyssa

Fedde in OPACY:
Erick Fedde’s 5.74 ERA, 4.34 FIP, and his .295/.371/.361 line against in three starts and 15 2⁄3 IP in June pretty accurately sum up what’s been going on for the 29-year-old 2014 1st Round pick in his last few outings.
Last time out before tonight, he threw 111 pitches in 5 1⁄3 innings against Atlanta, and while his manager appreciated the effort, he said afterwards he thought Fedde could make more efficient use of his pitches with his stuff if he really attacked opposing hitters.
“Hey, look, I’m going to give props to Fedde because he battled, he battled all night,” Davey Martinez told reporters. “They fouled some balls off. The walks (3 BBs), the walks are — like I said before the game, and the 0-2 [counts], the 3-2s, he was 3-2 on a lot of hitters today, but he battled.”
Fedde took the mound tonight in Baltimore with a 1-0 lead, and worked around a single in a 14-pitch bottom of the first, then retired the Orioles in order, in a 17-pitch second, with the Nats up 2-0 at that point, before a 20-pitch third in which he worked around a leadoff walk.
In the fourth, he stranded a two-out single, in a 15-pitch frame, and he retired the Orioles in order in the sixth and seventh innings, throwing 31 pitches in what ended up being his final two innings of work.
He gave up just one walk, and two hits, in the outing, striking out just four, and inducing just six groundouts overall, but he held the O’s off the board in a two-run game...
Erick Fedde’s Line: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 Ks, 97 P, 59 S, 6/4 GO/FO.
One quality start for Erick Fedde #NATITUDE pic.twitter.com/xftmM8alrP— Washington Nationals (@Nationals) June 22, 2022
Lyles for the Os:
In three starts in June, O’s starter Jordan Lyles, 31, had a rough 8.22 ERA, with a 5.80 FIP, and a .333/.405/.576 line against in 15 1⁄3 IP on the mound, and the veteran right-hander missed his last turn in the rotation before tonight with a stomach virus, so he was going against the Nationals on eight days’ rest.
Lyles was, however, pitching at home tonight, where he had a 2.93 ERA in fives games and 30 2/3 IP this season, versus his 6.70 ERA in 41 2⁄3 IP on the road.
César Hernández just missed his first home run of the year, in the first at-bat against Lyles, taking the first pitch of the game to right and off the fence for a leadoff double, his 16th of 2022, and two outs later he scored from second when Nelson Cruz lined his 11th two-base knock of the season into the corner in left, 1-0 Nationals after a 1/2-inning.

Keibert Ruiz doubled to lead off the second, lining a 1-1 changeup into the right-center gap and hustling to get there ahead of a strong throw in by O’s right fielder Anthony Santander. Yadiel Hernández walked to put two on with no one out in front of Maikel Franco, who took the second consecutive walk, loading the bases for Lane Thomas, who K’d chasing for out No. 1. César Hernández grounded into a potential inning-ending double play, but Rougned Odor threw wide of second after fielding the ball, and shortstop Jorge Mateo’s throw got to first base late as well, 2-0 Nats. Juan Soto popped out for out No. 2, and Josh Bell grounded out to second to end the threat as Lyles limited the damage.
Soto walked with one out in the top of the fifth, and took second on a wild pitch, and Josh Bell singled in the next at-bat, but both runners were stranded, and Lyles threw a 1-2-3 top of the sixth, then recorded one out in the seventh before he was lifted with a runner on...

Jordan Lyles’ Line: 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 Ks, 92 P, 54 S, 6/5 GO/FO.
O’s lefty Keegan Akin came on to face Juan Soto, lefty vs lefty, with a runner on and one out after Lane Thomas singled to start the top of the seventh, and got a line drive to right field from Soto for out No. 2, before Josh Bell K’d looking to end the Nationals’ half of the inning.
Kyle Finnegan took over for the Nationals with the visiting club up 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh, and gave up a 2-out double to right by O’s rookie Adley Rutschman, but stranded the only runner to reach base as he struck out three in a 21-pitch frame.
Akin retired the Nats in order in the top of the eight to keep it a two-run game.
Carl Edwards, Jr. got the bottom of the eighth, and the right-hander retired the O’s in order.
Akin got two more outs in the top of the ninth, but Lane Thomas took him deep on a first-pitch fastball, hitting his 8th of 2022 out to right to put the Nationals up 3-0.
Tanner Rainey struck out the first two batters he faced before Ryan Mountcastle extended the inning with a grounder to third Maikel Franco couldn’t handle. E:5. Rainey got the next out, however, retiring Adley Rutschman on a liner to first Josh Bell snagged. Ballgame.
Final Score: 3-0 Nationals
Nationals now 25-46

Are there really unseen presences that guide us during our journey through life? Can they reach us from where they are? My life has been an example of definite guidance since I was a little girl of five years. The whole beginning of the quest to know the answers to these questions was the event of seeing a face at the window in my bedroom one night. As I looked into the face which was so real, more real than an ‘ordinary’ face. I cannot ever forget that face. The kind brown eyes twinkled with hope and promise and inspiration. The gentle, broad smile reassuring, but also with a sense of humor. The short sandy colored hair showed me it was a the face of a young boy. Who was it?
Where did the face come from?
Questions crowded into my five-year old mind but they went unanswered then. As I feel asleep that night, I distinctly remember feeling a presence with me, I did not see the presence but was not afraid, the presence was reassuring.
This presence has been with me always. This is my spirit guide, it was his face at the window. Many years later I found a picture of the very same face. I cannot publish his name or this picture. He is a well known person and has family members still living. I am sure they would not be so inclined to want to know their father or grandfather is alive and well and living in the spirit world and is my guide.
One Saturday afternoon I went to the public library, I was still in high school then. I stood looking at all the bookshelves. I had to know; what was the face at the window, and why did I see it? I knew the Dewey Decimal classification of subjects but had no idea what subject the face would be in, so I started at the most logical place, the number one, 100. This was the first bookcase in the library. At that time I did not connect the face with philosophy or religion.
As I walked along the shelf, I felt the unseen presence, that same presence that has always been with me. One book seemed to ‘jump’ out at me and I looked at its title; it read This is spiritualism. Without hesitating I took the book off the shelf and opened it. The book had black and white photographs of faces of spirits seen and captured in photograph by other people. You could not see the rest of the person, just the face. I remember staring at the pictures incredulously, and putting it together; the face I had seen was the face of a spirit from the spirit world. This still did not answer whose face, but the book answered many other questions.
The book, This Is Spiritualism, was written by the late Maurice Barbanell, one of the founding editors of Psychic News, a weekly newspaper published in London, England from 1932 to 2010. The Psychic News educates people about the truth of spirit return from the afterlife.
As I read Barbanell’s book I received an excellent education. He too was skeptical about spirit contact, how it operated, and why it happened. The movement of Spiritualism organized into the National Spiritualist Union began in 1848 and is still active today. There are so many encounters with spirit that have been documented and scientifically examined the information will take a while to research. Nevertheless, the information exists and proves the existence of the human personality continuing on after the death experience. The subject of spirit contact is nothing new.
Maurice Barbanell is now in the spirit world. I am sure he is aware of the service his book did for me, and many others who benefited from his tireless work to educate people about the afterlife.
So who is it that guides you? I have come to know my spirit guides and my life has taken on a different meaning since I found out about the existence of a spirit world and the intelligence operating from this world.

Study: Many Dads Don’t Get Paid Paternity Leave
BOSTON (CBS) – Having a baby can be one of the most joyous times in a family’s life, but there are many stresses that come with that bundle of joy.
Many new parents confront challenges figuring out their works schedules. A study by the Center for Work and Family at Boston College found many new dads don’t get much paid time off.
Caleb Johnson is only a few weeks old, but father Josh is already a natural. But he didn’t have a lot of time to get the hang of being a new dad.
Josh was able to take just four vacation days. “It definitely creates a lot of stress. I am working 10 hour days.”
The Boston College study found only 5% of new dads get two or more weeks off. While 75% take a week or less, 16% don’t have any time off at all.
Those numbers don’t surprise Kara Govoni, a nurse/midwife from Jordan Hospital in Plymouth, who sees a lot of new dads in birthing classes.
“There are a lot of dads that even when their wife is in labor in the hospital, they feel like they have to go to work that day,” said Govoni. She explained they want to hold that day until after the baby is born, and are trying to maximize their time off.
Sam Palagi, a firefighter, was grateful he could he could patch together a week off to be with his new son Leo. “My wife had a C-section, so she was tied up in bed for a week.”
The Boston College researchers found only about 15% of companies now offer some type of paid paternity. They also found another reason why men aren’t staying home: themselves.
Dr. Brad Harrington, Director of the Center for Work and Family, said that some new fathers “feel that they will be viewed as wimps and that real men bring home the bacon.”
Times have changed as more men become increasingly involved with the children, but Dr. Harrington says work pressures have increased too.
“Many fathers look at this long work hours culture and the fact that the busiest people are viewed as the ones that are movers and shakers,” said Harrington. “Fathers fear if they start talking too much about the parenting role, they will be cast in a role that is not seen as on the fast track.”
This comes at a cost, as experts say the bonds created in a child’s infancy are the foundation for a lifetime.
Govoni said, “You never get that time back, you never have that tiny baby that is snuggling on your chest for very long, and I think that a lot of dads look back and say, ‘Oh I kind of wish I was there more during that time”, because it goes so quickly.”
And what about the world’s most famous new dad? Even Prince William gets paternity leave. Under British law and as member of the military, he entitled to two weeks paid leave.

Don't worry I hate needles too. Before I had my blood clots I use to have to lie down to get one little tube of blood taken. Now I only have to lie down if I need to get two tubes lol. The FSH injections are administered through a pen that looks like this http://mcharke.com/wp-content/upload...puregonpen.jpg
It's pretty painless and I can actually do this myself. On my first cycle DH did the injections for about 3 weeks and then he was out one night so I had to work up the courage to do it myself. Since then have not asked him to do one for me. There are trigger shots as well which are actual syringed but there is only 3 of those.

How to Painlessly Integrate Pain Therapies Into Your Practice
The treatment of chronic pain can be very challenging but also provides opportunities of continuity of care, enhanced outcomes and expansion of repertoire. As a neurosurgeon, it is important to be able to treat your patients throughout their disease process and follow along the continuum of their care. Everyone knows that radiographic and technically successful surgery does not always translate into pain control or optimal quality of life. Potentially 30-40 percent of spine surgery patients will develop post-laminectomy/failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). This, along with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is the most common disease indications for spinal cord stimulation (SCS).
Treating Pain With SCS and Other Therapies
SCS has been proven to produce significant pain relief in implanted patients. Level I evidence in multiple trials to demonstrate the efficacy of SCS when compared against the best medical management and surgery is of the utmost importance in the literature. New innovations have led to additional Level I evidence that improved product design and programming waveforms led to dramatic improvements in pain relief and patient outcomes. Very few other invasive modalities can claim the same success. In addition to SCS, there are other therapies, including intrathecal drug delivery (IDD), peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNfS), kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty and neuroablative procedures which can be implemented into a multidisciplinary approach.
How to Choose a Therapy for Each Patient
As the treating spine surgeon, it is important to be able to offer therapies to your patients when pain persists following surgery or perhaps when pain is present without a surgical pathology. The ability to offer your patient options fosters the doctor-patient relationship and serves as an important treatment modality in this clearly defined subset of patients within a complex spine practice.
For advanced pain care therapies, a trial of the therapy is performed prior to implant. There are several factors that are important in being aware of these therapies and having access to them for your patients. A proper referral network is an important component to offer your services in the management of pain patients, being mindful of where in the algorithm you would like your practice to be situated. This is determined by deciding whether you want to perform the therapies yourself or be willing to work with someone else who performs them.
You can quickly develop a niche by being the spine surgeon in your community who offers these neuromodulation therapies or who can help navigate a pathway to obtain them. As a neurosurgeon, your role determines the longitudinal implementation of the therapy from pre- to postoperative and beyond. In the realm of interventional pain therapies, three models prevail:
- The pain physician performs the trial and then the neurosurgeon installs the permanent implant; this is the most common.
- The neurosurgeon performs both the trial and the permanent implant.
- The pain physician does the trial and implant. Though this creates additional procedures for the neurosurgeon, it can build an invaluable referral network, allowing you to share patients as well as expanding therapies available to your patients in chronic pain.
Not All Patients Need Surgical Intervention
A typical neurosurgical practice will have many referrals for spinal surgery evaluation. In the majority of cases, the patient will not be a surgical candidate. Serendipitously, these patients may also be the same patients who would benefit from interventional pain therapies or neuromodulation. Adding pain interventions leads to diversifying your offerings, developing a niche among spine surgeons and creating a patient-centric referral network, while also delivering more cases to your practice. By developing a strong relationship with pain physicians, you can determine the roles that are mutually beneficial. A typical referral to a spine surgeon working in this capacity would be for a “surgery versus SCS” evaluation. This ensures the most appropriate therapy for the patient. The relationship can span post-surgical patients with residual pain as well as those who are not candidates for spine intervention. Depending on the practice model, this common referral will likely lead to some surgical intervention.
Determining proper candidates for pain interventions, as with any surgical procedure, is paramount to success. Early intervention in chronic pain is of crucial importance leading to improved outcomes. Therefore, SCS should not be viewed as a “last resort” therapy but rather as part of the treatment paradigm in which it fits along multiple points in the patient’s path, including prior to spinal surgery. The SCS is meant to treat the patient’s pain at the point that may or may not be related to correctable spinal surgical pathology. As the surgeon, you can help drive these therapies earlier, given exposure to the patient in the first six months following a spinal procedure. A pain physician you have built a relationship with may be able to drive the therapy implementation earlier for a non-spinal surgical candidate. Lastly, it is important to realize that these therapies are treatments for their current conditions, as spinal surgery may be warranted in the future, even after a neuromodulatory intervention. One does not preclude the other.
Physician Relationships Help Expand Practice
Clearly, building relationships with doctors in your referral network allows your practice to grow and builds your reputation as a neurosurgeon. Relationships with pain physicians are crucial in spinal surgery, as they are often involved in patient care before considering surgery. They are also the treating physicians for those patients in chronic pain following spinal surgery. Your referral network will also include primary care and neurology who are likely to be involved along with the neurosurgeon in the treatment of these patients throughout their disease process and recovery.
There are inherent benefits to implementing these therapies into your practice. Given that 30-40 percent of spinal patients will carry the diagnosis of FBSS, this constitutes a large amount of patients within a practice that can benefit from pain surgery. As an implanting surgeon, offering these therapies substantially increases case volume and reimbursement, but it will also help you build a niche in your market with a positive impact on referrals. Often, pain physicians in your community will maintain management of the patient along with stimulator adjustments. This symbiotic relationship is a win for the patient, pain doctors and the neurosurgeon. Offering these therapies allows you to have options for your patients in this drastically changing era of medicine where we have an opioid crisis and spinal surgery is under scrutiny.

Common Snipe are widely recognized as a difficult wader species to census as they remain largely secretive except during the breeding season when they perform spectacular courtship flights over the nesting territory. Once a female is attracted, the male performs a circular sky dance where it sporadically dives with the outermost tail-feathers at right-angles to its body. Feather vibration in the slipstream produces the remarkable throbbing sound known as ‘drumming’. The noise created is a rapid series of drum notes that sound remarkably like the bleating of a goat. This takes place throughout the nesting season from March to July. Drumming activity peaks for short periods at dawn and dusk when counts are likely to be most effective. It is this drumming display that will allow us to monitor breeding activity during the 2018 survey. To hear the sound of drumming snipe, click HERE
METHODS FOR SURVEYING BREEDING SNIPE
Select Suitable Breeding Location
Snipe are ground-nesting birds that breed wherever there is suitable lowland and upland habitat. Suitable habitat includes wet areas on bogs and moorland, unimproved pasture and meadows and ideally with areas of tussocky vegetation that provides shelter and protection. They also nest on the edge of watercourses and wet field corners.
Choose an area that suits the time you have available. If you know a location that you have seen or heard snipe in spring or summer previously, this would be a good place to start. Commit to an area you can manage. Ideally, each survey location should be around 500m square. Feel free to survey as many locations as you like.
When to Survey
Surveys should be performed at least twice at each chosen location. The first visit should be made between mid-April to mid-May and the second between mid-May to mid-June (leave at least 2 weeks between the first and second visit). Choose days with little wind. The wind has an important effect on the detection of breeding snipe so surveys should not be conducted when wind strength exceeds 19 km/h. Days with drizzle or light rain are acceptable as previous studies indicate drumming intensifies during damp conditions. The prime times to survey are during the 3 hours after first light and 3 hours before last light. In April and May, this typically means from 6 am to 9 am in the morning and 7 pm to 10 pm in the evening.
How to Survey
The most convenient method for counting is to walk through an area recording the number of snipe seen, displaying and/or drumming. If a vantage point can be achieved to view the entire area, then there is no requirement to walk. Disturbing nests is unnecessary and should be avoided. Spend as long as you can within the 3 hour period at dawn or dusk; ideally allowing a minimum of 1 hour per visit at each location. If no snipe are found during your first visit, record that information and complete the survey by making the second visit between mid-May to mid-June.
What to Survey

The artists Tacita Dean and Mary Frank might not make the most obvious pair, but they share space — and explore it — in a portmanteau program at Film Forum. Ms. Dean’s latest film experiment, “JG,” traces time in stark outlines with desolate landscapes, triptychs and some dazzling cutout techniques, all of which are followed by “Visions of Mary Frank,” a comradely portrait of that sculptor by the musician and documentarian John Cohen.
Ostensibly the companion piece to Mr. Cohen’s film, “JG” plants itself indelibly on the screen with views of Utah and California moonscapes that seem to span the ages. Shot in 35 millimeter, Ms. Dean’s 26-minute piece often displays three, shuffling inset images at once (including, at points, various vistas and a prehistoric-seeming armadillo). But its signature flourish is its dynamic pastiches, fashioned through stencils and multiple exposures: images embedded within the frame in spiral or coinlike cutouts, like holes and lines scored onto the screen.
The effect recalls one of Ms. Dean’s reference points, Robert Smithson’s Great Salt Lake artwork, “Spiral Jetty,” which can feel like a curve drawn onto a watery backdrop. During the film, we also hear excerpts from the writings and correspondence of the author J. G. Ballard — the source of the intimately terse title — as well as of Smithson (all read by Jim Broadbent). Slowly but surely, the film pulls you in, thanks to the spiral motif, the rhythm of the edits and the quotation from a 1960 Ballard short story that itself features an organic artwork.
In a gallery setting, “JG” has been shown on continuous loop, but here it has an end and nicely leads into the story of Ms. Frank and her gesturally informed art. Weathered and beautiful, she speaks with disarming grace and vividness about her sculpture and drawing, in her studio and home. Mr. Cohen describes her primitive figures and vision as reflecting the “omens and obstacles” of the world, though her own characterizations of their contours and inspirations hit home better. (Of drawing birds, she asks simply, how could you not?)
“Visions” (which swirls with diverse music) also tries to spotlight its subject in a crowded history. Marrying young to the photographer Robert Frank, the London-born Ms. Frank came up in a male-dominated 1950s New York art scene (though, for her part, she says she didn’t let her two children hold her back). We get a sweet but telling glimpse of her with her current husband, the musicologist Leo Treitler, who clearly has his own opinions about her work.
There’s a loose, bohemian quality to Mr. Cohen’s sketch of a film that makes it a curious match to the rigor of the British-born Ms. Dean’s intertextual, gallery-ready piece. But it evokes a rhyming of themes and of visual movement more than a clash of sensibilities.Continue reading the main story

EVALUATING RESUSCITATION QUALITY
The goal of a hospital’s resuscitation program is to have in place processes of care to respond to medical emergencies in a timely, effective manner that leads to good patient outcomes. Elements of resuscitation care in a hospital are:
- Policies, procedures, processes and protocols that govern the provision of resuscitation services
- Resuscitation equipment strategically located that is appropriate to the patient population (e.g., adult, pediatric, neonatal)
- Appropriate staff who are trained and competent to recognize the patient in hemodynamic distress and to deliver emergency care
Resuscitation care should be delivered in accordance with the latest scientific evidence, as delineated in the 2010 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and in accordance with the policies and protocols of care established by an individual organization. We cannot evaluate care and apply concepts of continuous quality improvement until care is measured, both for individual resuscitation events and also in the aggregate. Care can be measured both concurrently during resuscitations and retrospectively. Good documentation is essential to quality evaluation.
Concurrent Evaluation of Individual Codes
We already know from Abella’s study of CPR at the University of Chicago Hospitals that:
- Chest compression rate was too slow
- Chest compression depth was too shallow
- Ventilation rate was too high
- Time without compressions was too frequent and too prolonged
(Abella, B.S. et al. Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation during in-hospital cardiac arrest. JAMA 2005;293:305-310)
So how can the quality of CPR be evaluated during actual resuscitations and feedback be provided to the responders in order to improve upon their CPR technique? This is a critical issue given that there may be a direct relationship between quality of CPR delivered and victim survival. It can be the responsibility of the leader of the CPR team to monitor CPR performance, since maintaining standards of performance and coaching are within his/her expected role. It is important that the designated leader participate in a “hands-off” manner during the resuscitation so that s/he can monitor the larger scene and guide the team. End tidal CO2 data can be used to evaluate the quality of CPR since it correlates with cardiac output, coronary perfusion pressure and successful resuscitation.
Other care providers who are known to carry a CPR team pager and respond to codes in order to evaluate the quality of care are the cardiac clinical nurse specialist, an Emergency Department physician, a critical care physician and the chairperson or a member of the CPR Committee. Critical incident debriefing may immediately follow codes so the players can discuss what went well and what could have gone better.
It is difficult, though, to objectively evaluate the quality of CPR without the use of mechanical feedback devices. Two major manufacturers of defibrillators now produce feedback technology. Incorporated into ZOLL Medical Corporation’s new One Step™ Resuscitation Electrode is a CPR sensor that provides Real CPR Help ® with their R Series monitor/defibrillator/pacemaker. When the sensor is placed onto the sternum, CPR technique is measured by the defibrillator and feedback given to the provider with audio and screen prompts. A rate metronome beeps when compressions fall below 80/minute and stops beeping as soon as the correct rate is reached. Audible prompts, e.g., “push harder” and “good compressions” coach the provider as needed. If CPR is stopped for more than 10 seconds, the idle time shows on the display screen. A CPR Index™ on the screen provides a visual indicator of CPR effectiveness. The CPR Index takes about 20-25 good quality compressions to become completely full, but empties rapidly when compressions fall below target zones. Screen prompts such as RATE and DEPTH coach providers on how to improve their technique.
Philips Medical Systems has Q-CPR™ technology available with their HeartStart MRx defibrillator. A sensor placed onto the sternum sends data to the defibrillator, where it is interpreted and displayed as shown. Compression rate and depth are presented as a wave graph. Shown on the display are a “no flow” time and compressions per minute. If either depth or rate drifts outside the target range, the MRx displays on-screen signals and provides audible feedback for correction. Ventilation data is provided with the same electrodes used for defibrillation. Just above the compression wave is shown a lung volume indicator, with the ventilations-per-minute value alongside.
Retrospective Review of Individual Codes
Documentation at codes should be completed according to the American Heart Association Recommended Guidelines for Reviewing, Reporting, and Conducting Research on In-hospital Resuscitation: The ‘Utstein Style.’ (See Documentation at a Code for more information.) The original copy of the CPR record should be placed in the patient’s medical record and a copy sent to the CPR committee for quality review.
Most institutions have a specified means for the CPR team to provide written feedback at the conclusion of a code on the process of care. All quality feedback should be set up so that it is not placed in the medical record, but rather is written on a form that gets returned in a secure manner to the designated review group, and is thus protected from legal discovery according to state quality assurance statutes.
A quality review form may be designed by a hospital with process of care category headings and check boxes to help the CPR team identify potential problems.
For example, categories may include:
- Protocols: ACLS/PALS/NRP, institutional
For institutions that subscribe to the National Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Resuscitation Review – Quality Management template can be downloaded to use when creating one’s own institutional form.
ZOLL Medical Corporation produces an electronic resuscitation information management program, CodeNet. CodeNet Writer is their pocket PC-based PDA application used for documentation during a code. One of the preprogrammed screens is available for documenting quality issues. With the tap of a stylus, the documenter can enter data under any one of these categories. Once the PDA is docked at a computer, the information can be easily sent to the local CPR committee.
Each institution should decide what group(s) will retrospectively review the CPR records and quality reports from codes. Factors that should be evaluated from the CPR record are:
- Were the ACLS/PALS/NRP algorithms followed for the process of care during the resuscitation?
- Were the Gold Standard Process Variables established by the American Heart Association met?
- Time from collapse to initiation of compressions was < 1 minute
- Time from collapse to first shock when the victim is in VF/pulseless VT was < 3 minutes
- Time from collapse to first dose of epinephrine was < 5 minutes
- An invasive airway was placed when needed, and its location verified
- Was the documentation on the CPR record sufficient to meet institutional standards?
- Are the CPR team members current in required emergency certifications, i.e., BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP
Written feedback should be sent in a timely manner to those participating in the code, both initial responders and advanced care responders, so that praise can be delivered for care well given and instructive feedback can be provided to improve performance in the future. It is important to close the loop of the QA process by providing the action plan for following up reported quality problems.
Evaluation of Aggregate Codes
CPR data must be analyzed in the aggregate so that the hospital understands if it is responding to medical emergencies in a timely, effective manner. Several documents define the aggregate resuscitation reports that should be generated and analyzed:
It is recommended that patient, event (process) and outcome variables be tracked for all resuscitations, displayed in a meaningful way, and analyzed to guide quality improvement efforts. Patient variables include age, gender, witness status, location of event, date/time of event, comorbid conditions, etc. Event variables include initial rhythm, essential interventions, event times and intervals. Outcome variables include return of spontaneous circulation (for at least 20 minutes), discharge alive from the hospital, neurologic status at admission and discharge and length of stay. If a hospital is implementing a Rapid Response Team (RRT), then the rate of resuscitations per 1000 discharges should be calculated, so that it can be determined if the new RRT decreases the rate of resuscitations.
It is impossible to collate and display all this resuscitation data without the help of a specially designed computer software program, either developed by the specific institution or purchased from a vendor. The National Registry of CPR (NRCPR) provides a service whereby resuscitation data can be entered by the hospital into their international database and submitted electronically, with reports being received quarterly and annually in accordance with the American Heart Association ‘Utstein’ templates. In these reports information from the individual hospital is compared with aggregate data from the participating hospitals. See the section on NRCPR.
With the use of ZOLL CodeNet Central, timelines can be synchronized and reports can be easily generated for anytime period. If a hospital subscribes to NRCPR, the data can be automatically validated and then transmitted from CodeNet Central to NRCPR, without duplicate data entry.
Trends in quality issues should be tracked by a hospital, analyzed and action plans made to implement small tests of change in their systems of care. Once these small changes are evaluated as an improvement, then they can be incorporated into the ongoing standard of care and educational programs for the institution.

Ari “Shark” Chamasmany is no stranger to parkades, stoked to welcome a fellow parkade connoiseur to taste our local dirty car hole delights.
So since Ari is gonna be in town for the upcoming Loaded and Orangatang Highway Jam, might as well arrive just in time for parkades! Both LA and Vancouver have a rad weekly garage session that have been running for years and years. If you skate a lot of garages, you will appreciate how awesome it would be to skate all new garages for a night. No two garages are exactly alike, and every city has a few burly ones. A well functioning garage session is like a creature. It forms habits, routines. Stopping at the same pizza joint or park. But it also learns things, like the sneakiest way into a garage, which door to prop and which door not to prop. These tricks of the trade are a sign of a well ripened garage session. Stoke to share our local dirty car holes with a dirty care hole connoisseur!
Meet Behind the Vancouver Art Gallery, Feb 9th at 9pm
Helmets are mandatory
In any case, here is and edit of a Vancouver Parkade Session back to back with a LA Parkade Session / The Gel Lab for your consideration.
If you have any questions please feel free to shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.org, message us on facebook, or call at 604 899 8937!

One of the little-known museums in Florence is that of the Palazzo Riccardi Medici, and yet it contains one of the most interesting and renown frescoes in Italy. The 10-euro entry fee was well worth an early evening spent touring this Renaissance-era palace and a special exhibition.
Completed in 1484 at the behest of Cosimo Medici (he was head of the banking family by this time) and designed by Michelozzo di Bartolomeo, the palace was known for its stone masonry, which includes the architectural elements of ashlar and rustication. The picture above shows how each story of the building decreases in height while a horizontal stringcourse clearly divides them. The cornice, common in Roman buildings of the time, is unique in design. The modest exterior design is intentional; sumptuary laws prevented one from openly displaying their wealth. Cosimo instead spent some of his wealth decorating the inside. The details in the interior rooms is amazing.
Completed in the 1680s, the Hall of Luca Giordano is a masterpiece of Florentine Baroque art and features panel after panel of painted mirrors topped with a frescoed ceiling, Apotheosis of the Medici Dynasty, done by Giordoano. (This space can now be rented for conferences!)
Fillipo Lippi and Botticelli both enjoyed Cosimo’s patronage. The Madonna of Palazzo Medici by Lippi enjoys a place above a huge console at the end of one hall.
Throughout the part of the palace that is open to the public, furnishings, statuary, and paintings of Medici family members are on display.
The heart of the palace is the Magi Chapel. Covering the walls are frescoes done by Benozzo Gozzoli. The scenes portray the best known personalities of his time playing the parts of the procession of the magi. Each generation of Medici partiarch features in a different panel. As with any chapel in Italy, you have to be sure to look up!
Once we almost completed our tour (almost, because it was closing time, and we were the last ones inside, and we really wanted to take just one last look around), we found ourselves locked in the palazzo’s main atrium! The entrance gates at both ends of the Courtyard of Michelozzo were closed and padlocked. A police station is located just off the atrium, though, and the officer on duty let us out by way of his office.
Being stuck inside this particular courtyard would not have been a hardship, but it is better viewed in the daylight. At one time it was completely open and colonnaded at the far corner of the palace but was walled in during the 16th century. Three-hundred pieces of ancient art have been placed on the walls of the courtyard. Potted orange trees, statuary and a fountain make this an oasis right in the middle of the city.
We made a quick trip to the hotel before meeting with the others at the Cosimo statue in Palazzo della Signoria. Then we headed to a local restaurant for a traditional Italian dinner. Later that night, the rest of the tour group finally arrived in Florence. We could hardly admit to all the sights we’d been able to enjoy when there would be no opportunity for them to do so. Out of thirty, we were the only one to visit the Uffizi.
And if you’ve ever wondered how Italian women keep their figures, we know the secret. According to our iPhone, we walked 8.6 miles on this day. Time for a glass of prosecco.
Next up on our itinerary—a walking tour of Florence.

★★★★★ “Totally exhilarating and surprisingly moving” – Margaret Pomeranz, The SBS Movie Show
“One of the most astonishing films ever made” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“Has to be seen to be believed. A glorious experience” – Village Voice
(G) Dir. Aleksandr Sokurov, Russia, 2003. 99 min | Historical drama
Alexander Sokurov’s spellbinding masterpiece RUSSIAN ARK is a multi-award winning film consisting of one unbroken camera shot that moves through St. Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum. It’s a staggering work of art, an impressive technical feat that is also cinematic poetry of the first order.
It was the highest grossing foreign language film of the year upon its 2003 Australian release, grossing just over 2 million at the box office. It’s been remastered in stunning 2K digital format and is available in Australia for the first time ever from April 7.
As Sokurov’s camera glides through 33 rooms of the Hermitage, moving in and out of cathedral-like galleries, opulent ballrooms and shadowy corridors and workrooms, three centuries of Russian history and European art are compressed into a single 96 minute shot. In the dreamlike journey, an unseen modern filmmaker (voiced by Sokurov) is joined by a somewhat scornful French diplomat, the Marquis de Custine (Sergey Dreiden).
We see the great paintings of El Greco, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Rubens and others in the Hermitage treasure trove, discussed by the Marquis and other aficionados. At the same time, as if in a nightmare, we keep getting glimpses of Russian history: Peter the Great manhandling a general; Russia’s last Czar, Nicholas II, dining with his family before the revolution or receiving emissaries from Persia; and Catherine the Great attending an opera and desperately running around in search of a restroom – or later wandering out into a snowy courtyard. An extraordinary film, one that, like the museum itself, captures and shows three centuries of Russian culture and history in all its beauty, confusion, terror and majesty.

Hours of Research
Consumer Reviews Analyzed
A ir purifying is an issue that should be at the forefront of all homeowner’s efforts as indoor air pollution is quite an issue to worry about these days. A system that gives you the upper hand in the battle with pollution is the O-Ion B-1000 that is compact and lightweight, so you can easily fit it anywhere. Next, it manages to remove bacteria, germs, and other air pollutants from medium-size rooms, and last, but not least, it only costs $60, which is more than affordable. Now you have to think of reasons why you shouldn’t opt for this device and we are sure you will find none.
A wide range of air pollutants can be eliminated with its help as it uses many filtration types and technologies. The electrostatic purification can reduce the level of pollutants as small as 1 micron, including pollen, dust, allergens, mold, pet dander, and other harmful impurities. The carbon filtration manages to eliminate odors and absorbs volatile organic compounds like chemical gasses and cleaning product odors.
There is an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation technology, or a UVGI, that destroys bacteria, germs, and viruses that can cause severe respiratory problems. The Whisper Quiet design makes sure the unit stays silent during operating, so you can use it in the bedroom or at the office.
|O-Ion B-1000 Spec Sheet|
|Area coverage||400 sq. ft.|
|Air purification efficiency||99%|
|Filter media||UV light, carbon filter|
|Air changes per hour||N/A|
|Air circulation||200+ CFM|
|Energy Star certification|
|Noise output||25 dB|
|Filter life||6-12 months|
|Filter check indicator||N/A|
|Size||6” x 7” x 17”|
|Check Price at Amazon|
The air cleaner works in different ways that increase its performance and enable it to handle a wide range of pollutants. It is also efficient in killing mold spores and common allergens that can trigger asthma and allergies, so if you have respiratory problems, this is the unit for you. What it doesn’t include is a HEPA filter that would manage to capture smaller particles after the carbon filter handles the larger ones. Some of the performance features are:
- Besides the air purifying feature, it also works as an ionizer that releases negative ions into the air that bind to oxygen particles and are attracted into the machine
- The ozone combined with the carbon filtration can also reduce common household odors, refresh the air and promote healthy breathing
- In addition to the efficient carbon filter and the ionizer, it also includes a UV light that kills bacteria, germs, and viruses found in the breathing air
If you are worried about where you are going to place it, you can relax knowing that it is very small, compact in shape, and lightweight. It measures 17” in height and only 6” in width and it weighs 3.8 pounds, so finding a spot for it will not be hard.
It comes in two finishing colors to match any interior design in your house, whether you prefer the black or the silver version. The speed adjuster is located on top of the unit and there is a large light on the front to make it easily noticeable. Although it uses so many technologies, the energy consumption remains low, as it only uses 7.5 watts per hour.
A good thing about this air filter is that it doesn’t include any changeable filters, so there will be no hassle in maintenance and no additional costs. It has an electrostatic dust collector rod that captures the particles and all you have to do is remove it and wipe it with a damp cloth before reattaching it. These are some of the convenience particularities:
- The easy operating mode that only implies turning the UV light on and off and adjusting the speed to one of the levels with the nightlight
- If you want to place the unit in the bedroom, you must know that it includes a night light so you can easily spot it in the dark without it disturbing your sleep
- There is also the possibility to choose between two speed settings and the lack of filters to change, which add to the convenience of this air purifier
Warranty and support
Another great thing is the 3-year warranty that covers it, so you can use it without worrying about any potential defects. Customers who are using it state that the product is very durable and will deliver maximum performance for a very long time.
Employing electrostatic purification so that it obliterates pollutants hassle-free, the O-Ion system is a cost-effective option to keep the air clean and ensure a safe habitat. As the large filter only requires wiping to clean it, it comes as no surprise that it is rated among the best air purifiers with washable filters, systems that don’t actually require investment in maintenance. Moreover, the UV technology it uses enables it to even kill COVID-19 Coronavirus from the air, so you can keep everyone in your home or office safe from the pandemic with the addition of this system.

Today I have the wonderful Nikki Sheehan on my blog as we talk about some of our favourite books with the word boy in the title! Are any of these your favourites? Haven't read them yet? Defiantly give them a go as all these books are wonderful and recommend your favourite books with the word boy in the title!
Nikki Sheehan is a former convent school girl who studied linguistics at university before becoming a subtitler on the Simpsons and then a journalist.
Nikki now lives in Brighton with her husband and three children, and works as a journalist, author, and a story facilitator for the Brighton branch of the Ministry of Stories. She loves dogs, adores reading, and is never happier than when she is talking to kids about stories.
Let’s Hear it for the Boys!
How many books can you name with the word Girl in the title? 10? 20? More?
Now try the same thing with Boy. Go on! It won’t work if you don’t play along.
Not so many, eh? So, we got to thinking about this after we read that US book review site booklistreader.com had totted up the number of books on their list with the word Girl in the title. Over the last ten years they have reviewed 550. While they found only 138 with the male equivalent.
The reasons behind this are much too tiresome to go over here, and frankly there’s been quite enough arguing about female bias this year already, so instead we’ve each come up with our top five books with Boy in the title.
So, let’s hear it for our top 10 Boys!
1. Feather Boy by Nicky Singer - this classic was brought home by my daughter from primary school and it became the book that made me want to write.
2. Boy in The Tower by Polly Ho-Yen - we authors do like to put our boys through some awfulness, don’t we? But Polly Ho-Yen takes the crown by stranding hers in a London tower block surrounded by Triffid-like plants. Class.
3. Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne - Nazis - even worse than Triffids. A book that shatters your heart.
4. Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin - dark, daring and disturbing, all the things I love.
5. Boy by Roald Dahl - a book about the childhood that influenced the books that influenced all of our childhoods. If you follow me. And it’s Roald Dahl - do I seriously have to say more???
1. Swan Boy by Nikki Sheehan - A book with a very important message and a must read for all! A book that had me wrapped up from the beginning all the way to the end and I loved every second.
2. Boy Book by E. Lockhart - A fast-paced funny book that had me laughing out loud throughout of it.
3. Beetle Boy by M.G. Lenard - Start of a fantastic trilogy. I loved the beetle facts she had throughout this book and it made it more interesting!
4. The Boy Most Likely Too by Huntley Fitzpatrick - The cutest contemporary that I just loved and devoured.
5. The Bubble Boy by Stewart Foster - So special and beautifully written, a book that will make you remember not to take things for granted.
When Johnny moves house and starts a new school he has to deal with a bully who can't leave him alone. But help comes from an unexpected and surprising source and Johnny's growing power soon puts him in a very special place.
A chance encounter with a swan sparks a series of events that result in Johnny playing the lead in a school ballet. His teacher wants him to live the role, and when feathers start sprouting on his chest, Johnny begins to understand his true potential. But will he be strong or brave enough to beat his bullies, take care of his brother, support his mother and find a place for himself among all the chaos that is prevailing in his life.

Small room, big model/house
Working with my nose up against it
In trying to match in the current section of the outside of the house with the back half ‘prepared a little earlier’, I have made two assumptions: looking similar would be good and that I was standing at the correct angle when assessing placement of wood bits. Bad workman blames his tools and all that, but I should have realised that the only available space, scrunched up against the monstrous construction, was not the best view-point when assessing results.
Those new diagonals need to go: they don’t add anything by looking similar to the previous one and they are just wrong.
In an attempt to echo some of the other external decorations, I’ve turned to faux plaster-work with an impressed pattern of ivy leaves (see upper great hall, boy in the window and other work on the externals). Might look OK but there’s no real way to know until it is dry and can be coloured in a little. Here’s hoping.
The house surface under the clay is thinly shmeared with Fast Tack Tacky glue, the clay well packed in place and, when the clay is a little dryer, I will shmear a little PVA on the surface to reduce cracking and warping a little. So far there’s not been any major problems when following this routine on other areas, but there’s always a first time.
I made the panel the full length available and realised that it should have a divider after the event. The current double beading one might do the trick. If it all dries and colours up OK, but the divider still looks too small I can make the plaster each side of it a little darker to kid the eye along, perhaps.
Small challenge to self
When baking something like, I don’t know, scones perhaps, do you ever have left a little bit of the mix which isn’t quite enough to make a full-sized one more? When I break/cut off any air-drying clay, I often find myself with just such a piece and like to use it in that session if possible and today there was a small ball of it which I just couldn’t throw away.
So to cheer myself up I set myself the challenge of decorating a plaque or shield with what I was wearing or had immediately to hand.
The zip teeth on the left are on the messy gillet I’m wearing (don’t have the heating turned on yet) and the press stud bits were on the work bench next to me waiting to be sorted into the odds and ends drawer. The shield as shown here will need trimming and sanding and painting when dry, but it was a fun way to use up the make-weight 😉

3 Lessons from a Lunch and a Prayer
“13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.” Matthew 14:13-21 NIV
When Jesus turned the five loaves of bread and two fish to feed the 5,000, it can be easily estimated that there were actually 15,000 to 20,000 people present because the text makes clear that the 5,000 were counting only the men in the group!
Jesus shows me that I need begin to use whatever I have wisely.
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.” Matthew 14:17 NIV
It would have been easy for Jesus (and the disciples) to complain about what they lacked. We don’t have enough food for the crowd. We don’t have enough money to feed everyone. Even if we had enough food, there aren’t enough people to serve these 20,000 hungry people! C’mon Jesus, surely more than this one boy has food to share! When one looks around, it is not hard at all to identify how things would be better if we had added resources.
It is VERY easy to fall into this trap when serving in the ministry too. We don’t have enough lights, our sound system is old, our facilities aren’t modern, and we don’t have the volunteers for Sunday School. Our praise and worship team lacks skill and there’s not enough money to buy all the things we need! The lesson from Jesus here is that rather than focusing on what I don’t have, I ought to put my energy in using wisely what I do have.
Next, Jesus teaches me that I need to have a greater trust in His resources than mine.
“18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.” Matthew 14:18-19 NIV
Jesus trusted His Father to provide. My kids trust their father to provide. When I was a kid, I trusted my father to provide. Why then is it so hard now for me to trust my Heavenly Father to provide when I don’t think the resources are there? Maybe it is because I want to control things myself. Maybe it is because I live my life according to what I can see, more than by whom I believe in. When Jesus raised His hands and blessed the food, He shows me that His blessings are not based on what resources I have available to me, but rather on what God does in and through what I already have.
Lastly, Jesus shows me that I must not waste what He provides.
“20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.” Matthew 14:20 NIV
It is interesting that Jesus had the disciples pick up the twelve basketfuls of broken pieces left over. This shows that Jesus did not want to waste what God had provided. Sadly, there are many believers who waste away the resources that Jesus gives. It is also interesting to find that though the 5,000 ate and were satisfied, there is no further record of them following Jesus beyond that point. Although scripture is clear that He healed their sick, it is not clear if the sick followed Him. It looks like they came to Jesus for help, and after they received it, they did nothing for and with Him. They were fans of Jesus, and not followers. They were convinced that He could do great things, but they weren’t committed to following Him. To truly grow with Jesus means to not waste what He provides. I must not waste the testimonies He gives. I must not waste the miracles He has performed. I must not waste the blessings or strength that He has given.
Lord Jesus, You are able and more than willing to do so much more than I have ever dreamt or thought of in my life. Lord I long to be used by You in great ways. Lead me in growing in my faithfulness to what You give me. Amen.

To evaluate prognostic factors for metamorphopsia in patients undergoing vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
This study included 53 eyes of 53 patients undergoing vitrectomy for idiopathic ERM. We examined visual acuity, severity of metamorphopsia with M-CHARTS, and retinal microstructures with SD-OCT before surgery and 3 and 6 months after surgery. Central foveal thickness (CFT), parafoveal retinal thickness, macular volume, thickness of the ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL) and outer retinal layer (ONL+OPL: outer nuclear layer and outer plexiform layer) were analyzed using an image-processing program. The status of the outer retinal lines were also evaluated.
Preoperative metamorphopsia score (M-score) significantly correlated with CFT, INL thickness and ONL+OPL thickness. Postoperative M-score significantly correlated with postoperative CFT and INL thickness. INL thickness had significant correlation with M-score at each time point by multiple regression analysis, whereas other parameters were not relevant. Multiple regression analysis showed that preoperative INL thickness yielded the highest regression coefficient with postoperative M-score.
INL thickness was found to be a good indicator of metamorphopsia both before and after surgery, and a predictor of postoperative metamorphopsia in patients with ERM.

When a group of pupils gather after school to complete oustanding GCSE coursework but this is usually unsuccessful and the pupils end up cyberbullying each other or searching innappropiate images and adding it on each other's social networking profiles. Generally, the pupils enjoy these sessions until they recieve their final mark and realise that they have failed AiDA.
1st Person: "You got AiDA Catch Up today, Lily?"
2nd Person:"Yeah, want to go together Carlotta?"
1st Person: "Yeah, sounds cool. Apparently Andria, Sylvia and Susannah are coming too!"
Two hours later...
1st Person: "LOL LOOK AT SUSANNAH'S FACBOOK PICTURE."
2nd Person:"LOL I'VE JUST BEEN FRAPED"

Review on Chada
This stylish and endearing Thai restaurant has actually been trading in Battersea for more than 20 years, although it was recently re-launched after an opulent makeover. 'Chada' is the name of the traditional headpiece worn for performances of classical Thai dance drama, and the restaurant is suitably kitted out with classical artefacts, ornaments and floral displays.
The lengthy menu trawls its way through the classic repertoire, mixing familiar satays, stir-fries and curries with more intriguing specialities (especially seafood). A sister restaurant, Chada Chada, is at 16-17 Picton Place, W1 (next to Selfridges).
Chada is also featured in: Michelin GuideRate this Restaurant

On internet many DIY-projects can be found for building a Boeing 737 Throttle Quadrant.
Most of them use a sandwich construction of 11 wooden plates connected with 8 mm full threaded rods.
The throttle, flaps and speedbrake handles rotate around a central rod and switches and potentiometers are attached to the wooden plates.
When checking one of these TQ projects on www.thair.nl I noticed that the design of the plates could be requested as a DWG file.
Using the DWG to DXF converter on www.autodwg.com/dwg_dxf_converter I had this converted to a DXF file so that I could open and modify it in Inkscape.
For the wooden plates I purchased a 244 cm x 122 cm x 6 mm MDF plate and had it sawn in 29 cm wide strips that nicely fit on my CNC router table.
In Inkscape I had to do some processing of the converted DXF design so that Estlcam was able to trace the outlines of the panels (no gaps) and create G-code for each panel so that it could be milled with the CNC router.
As I don’t have a lathe I purchased a complete set of knobs for all levers at cockpitsimparts.co.uk (‘Boeing 737 Throttle full handle set’)
These knobs appeared to be solid, so I’ve used the CNC router to make holes in the throttle knobs to fit the pushbuttons for the autothrottle disengage function.
Also I modified the design of one of the throttle handle plates a bit so that it better matches the notch in the knob.
Many throttle quadrant projects found on the internet are ‘passive’ implementations, that is, they’re not motorized.
I’d like to have the levers moved automatically by the autothrottle however.
After some more searching on the internet I found a very instructive YouTube channel ‘Buildaboeing‘.
A couple of the videos on this channel show various aspects of the construction of a motorized throttle quadrant using servos.
Most important difference with many other DIY throttle quadrant implementations is that all functions are motorized: not only the throttle handles and stab trim wheels, but also the speedbrake, parking brake and stab trim indicators.
There are some cockpit builders that have created very realistic implementations for the throttle handles with motors and a clutch so that even under autothrottle control the handles can be manually overridden, but these are expensive solutions. I decided for the somewhat less realistic, but cheaper implementation with servo motors as seen in the Buildaboeing videos.
Another difference with other projects is that instead of ‘normal’ potentiometers driven by gears Peter from Buildaboeing uses sliding potentiometers moved via levers by the throttle handles.
Instead of two microswitches at the outer limits of the reverse thrust handle paths he used potentiometers with gears: according to him this more closely resembles the original reverse thrust handles: when moving them they only trigger after halve of the rotation.
Something he mentions in one of his videos but didn’t implement is that the reverse thrust handles in real life can only be moved when the throttle handles are in idle mode.
It was an interesting challenge to see if I could find a solution to add this to my implementation.
For driving the trim wheels I used a solution with bike chains as found in some other implementations. I want to use cheap derailleur jockey wheels that can be bought at Aliexpress for just over a euro a piece.
I spent some time finding suitable, small and narrow enough chain tensioner wheels. Until I read the annotations on the pictures in the document ‘How to build a B-737 300/800 throttle quadrant’ by Francisco Gago of February 2004 where I found that the ‘K’NEX Hub/Pulley Medium‘ is very suitable for this.

Whispers of Love – A Change of Heart – Kimberly Rae Jordan – Georgia Press – Published 28 June 2016
Only one thing stands between Ethan Collins and the job he desperately needs: office manager Makayla McFadden. She hates that he represents a major change in her family’s business, but finds herself intrigued by him, too. Will Makayla be able to see that change can be a good thing, professionally and personally? Or will Ethan be back to square one—in need of a job in a new city?
Whispers of Love also includes 11 other titles by various authors.
So far I have only read the first of the included titles in Whispers of Love, A Change of Heart by Kimberly Rae Jordan. That novel was the reason I purchased this book, and the other 11 stories were just nice bonuses, which hopefully I will get around to reading soon. For now though, my rating and review are of A Change of Heart.
I love Kimberly Rae Jordan’s books. And I loved returning to the Callaghan-McFadden family. We first met them and saw the joining of their families in A Handful of Flowers. It is so nice to return to this large, loud and loving family. The kids are grown and Makayla, the eldest girl, is our protagonist for A Change of Heart. She is working at her father’s construction firm when Ethan is hired on. She is unsure of the change and dreads more uncertainty in her life. But she could never dream of the changes and uncertainly Ethan himself is facing. As she works with Ethan and glimpses a little more into his life she can’t help being moved by this quiet man who has so much to carry on his shoulders.
This is a charming romance, as well as a tale of family and friendship. Ethan is caring for his younger sister in the absence of loving parents. But the uncertainly about the permanence of his job and Makayla’s initial feelings of distrust mean Ethan isn’t sure he can move ahead in securing both his own and his sister Sienna’s future. Add to that his growing feelings for Makayla and seeing for the first time what a loving family looks like, and Ethan has a lot on his plate. He is a wonderful character, as are all the characters in this book. Family, romance, faith, friendship, fun summer days and trying emotional times, this book has it all.
I really enjoyed reading A Change of Heart and can’t wait for the next book in the Callaghans & McFaddens series, which is to be Bennett’s story.
Genre: Christian contemporary.
Themes: Family, romance, parents, employment.
Published: 28 June 2016 by Georgia Press.
Format: Ebook. 2000+ pages.

TORONTO -- Orioles outfielder Luke Scott underwent season-ending surgery on his torn right labrum on Tuesday morning, performed by Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Florida.
Scott has been battling the injury for most of the season and needed to be placed on the 15-day disabled list earlier this month as the ailment continued to act up. He made a brief attempt at a comeback, going 5-for-10 in three rehab games with Double-A Bowie last week, and 0-for-3 in his return to the Orioles on Friday.
But after Friday's game Scott continued to experience pain in his shoulder, and the team decided to place him back on the disabled list. Tuesday's surgery guarantees that he will stay there for the rest of the season.
"Luke was upbeat," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Hopefully they can get it taken care of. Dr. Andrews was pretty matter-of-fact about what he thought the next step should be. It's really the second group to kind of concur with the same thing that our doctors felt. So I think they've got their arms around it and I'm hoping that Luke is on his way to a healthy recovery."
The Orioles' outfielder finishes his season batting .220 (46-for-209) with nine home runs and 22 RBIs in 64 games. It's the first time since 2005 that Scott has played less than 65 games in a season and snaps his three-year streak of at least 20 home runs and 65 RBIs.
With Scott shelved for the remainder of the season, there are plenty of at-bats to go around for some of the Orioles' younger players. That includes 27-year-old Nolan Reimold, who has seen the majority of time in left field during Scott's absence.
Reimold is batting .239 (22-for-92) with five home runs and 26 RBIs in 34 games so far this season. But he may not be the only one to benefit from Scott's absence.
"We'll see what the situation dictates," Showalter said. "We have other people on this club that also deserve to play. But we've given Nolan a good share of at-bats lately and we will continue to try to create ways to keep everybody involved."

UPDATE: Monolith idea isn't turning out how we envisioned it. Many thanks to those that gave it a shot, but it's for the better to end that idea and open up the floor again. There have been some great submissions so far and we'll try our best to work with you. We are very confident that there is a kick-ass design out there waiting to come out.
NOTE: If we like the final designer, we would be VERY interested in doing further business such as business card, website, stationary, etc. Here are some examples of logos that I really like:http://vector.tutsplus.com/designing/30-brilliant-vector-logo-designs-deconstructed/Design numbers: 1, 6, 18, 22, 23, 24, 26. EightyTwenty Group is a young but sophisticated company creating easy-to-use enterprise software for professional service firms. Our clients include the world’s most reputable law, accounting, and consulting firms. Existing enterprise software is archaic and we are hoping to revolutionize the industry by taking the best web 2.0 technologies and bring them into the enterprise space. We believe that employees only need to spend their time on the most important software applications (20% of all available applications) to perform all the output(80% of the results). Technology needs to be easy-to-use with no training required. The Eighty Twenty principle is very well known. What it means, in our context, is that our clients should only have to focus on 20% of their technology (i.e. our technology) to produce 80% of the results. Companies should not waste their time or money on the other 80% of bad resources, just focus on the 20% that matters. Here is a link to the principle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto…eSomething to keep in mind is that our company may start other businesses in the future that fall into different domains. It would be good for the logo to be easily replicated into other domains such as real estate, consulting, etc. A simple, clean and professional design is preferred.

The automobile sector is ongoing under a significant development where it is changing at a breakneck pace, and many new technological advancements have been observed. The past few years have been a benchmark in the automobile sector with a rise in the trend of electric vehicles (EV) in the world markets, and many automobile giants have launched their various EV models. India is also observing the change, and many big companies are coming up with electric car models that are available on the roads. There is slow growth in the Indian market, but by 2025, it is assumed that nearly 5% to 7% of the cars on the roads will be the newer and safer electric models. While few biggies like Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 have been launched in India at a price of over 1 crore and the SUV competes with the Audi E-Tron, and Jaguar I-Pace and the competition is worth watching for. There are many other automobile companies also launching their EV models shortly.
Let us take a close look at other car companies that are also planning to launch electric vehicles that Indians can buy in the near future. While Mercedes-Benz EQc 400 is a rival of Audi E-Tron which is priced at a whopping 1.5 crore ex-showroom price in India and making a wave before it’s scheduled to launch, it is also seen as a counterpart of the popular Jaguar I-Pace whose expected launch is by 2021, at a price of 58 lakhs rupee in Indian currency.
Taking a closer look at these luxuries, SUV electric cars, one thing is clear that the future belongs to the massive companies as the government is also aiming to a 30% engagement of electric vehicles on Indian roads by 2025-2030. Electric vehicles have been a dream for many years, and while countries like Japan, America, China, Germany, and Russia have more access to it, India is also aiming for a pollution-free future and setting up many plants and factories which can supply and support the electric cars.
There are many companies that are launching electric cars, like Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, Tata Motors, Nissan, Mahindra, Hyundai, and Volkswagen are some of the pioneers in this field.
1. Audi e-Tron
Audi is launching the e-Tron model in October 2020 and has become the most promising brand, launching the first fully electric driven car with style and sophistication. Audi is also planning to launch as many as 20 models of electric cars by 2025, thus planning for growth over a period of five years. Though this German Giant is only accessible to the higher class of the society being so expensive for the masses. It is true that in a period of 10 years, electric cars will overtake the market from the regular petrol or diesel versions as more people are becoming environmentally friendly, and as the electric cars promise virtually no combustion oof harmful gases to the environment, more and more people will get attracted towards buying electric models.
2. Tata Motors Nexon EV
Tata Motors, the big Giant of India has launched its first-ever, fully automatic electric car Tata-NexonEV model and the bookings are still open for people who want to buy this affordable luxury which comes with 3 variants and superior power. Tata Motors has pioneered and done a commendable job in the development of the electric version accessible to the middle class providing all benefits of electric models. It is reasonably priced up to 16 lakhs for its top model Tata Nexon EV XZ Plus LUX. It is a 5 seater compact SUV and takes 8 hours to charge. The battery life is very good, and the engine runs on electricity. Till the date, Tata Motors has sold more than 300 units and has become a wonderful car to own by many proud Indians. It also gives a very good mileage of 300 Km in a single charge and runs on Ziptron technology.
Tata Motors is also coming up with other electric models for the middle-class section with models like Tata Altroz EV at a price of 14 lakhs. Tata Motors is aiming at becoming a leader in the electric car segment, and for this, the company is taking many future steps like talks with the BJP government and planning to launch many new models by the end of 2025. As India is currently on the 4th largest automobile market in the world and suffers from pollution hazards, New Delhi, being the most polluted urban city, the demand for electric cars will increase in the coming few years. So, for this, Tata Motors is getting ready. But the big challenge is to build the charging stations all over the country. So, it is setting up with charging stations in 7 major cities in India and also asking the cooperation from the government to upgrade the fueling stations with electric charging Units as well. The works are going on, and soon we will see more charging stations so as to the customers an buy more electric vehicles in the future.
3. Hyundai Kona electric
Hyundai Motors Company has launched the electric SUV in India, last year, and since then the car is being loved by the people. It is priced at approximately 24 lakhs in India and has the greatest mileage to offer on a single charge. The features and safety parameters of the car are also very good, and it has sold many cars on the roads so far. Moreover, the lithium battery power is also very good, and the fully automatic surface is making it a great choice for Indian consumers. It is now available at selected Hyundai showrooms. The company is also going to launch another model called “Mini Hyundai Kona electric” for the Indian markets at a more affordable cost in 2021. We may also see a newer and safer model called “Hyundai Kona Electric 2021” by the end of next year.
4. Nissan Ariya 2022
The Japanese Giant, Nissan has unveiled the electric model named Nissan Ariya to the world and India recently. The SUV is very promising with being a concept car, fully automatic, and loaded with stylish features and modern functions are a style stopper already. Nissan is also keeping an eye over the next two years of more promising launches. The company is also set to launch Nissan Ariya 2022 Electric car by the mid of 2021. The car will be having a horizontal infotainment system and can give a mileage of 610 km on a single charge. The car is designed to provide luxury and comfortable ride and has an auto-driving mode which makes it quite interesting. We will have to wait further to see what more advance features it may come to surprise us. It is going to be the most technologically advanced electric car in the making. It will be priced around 30-31 lakhs.
5. Volkswagen ID Crozz
Volkswagen India is also looking to stretch to the electric vehicle segment by launching the much-awaited electric car called Volkswagen ID Crozz and has its hands full by looking forward to launching many more variants in the coming few years! It is more designed like an amalgamation of a sports utility vehicle, and a coupe and the looks are mindblowing, it was showcased at Auto Expo this year and boasts of covering 500 km in a single charge, the charging speed of the car is also very good, and it takes nearly 30 mins to charge till 80%, which is very good. Volkswagen has also planned to launch many newer models in the electric segment just like Tata Motors, and want to lead the market by 2025. The company claims ID as in ID Crozz stands for the Identity and Design superiority and is all set to deliver new and compact models soon.
Though the rate of growth of electric cars is slower than the petrol or the diesel cars and the companies will also continue to make these versions too, but by the next 10 years, the electric cars may overtake the roads, and no one has a second thought about it. We only need the basic infrastructures and support systems like charging facilities on roads as the electric cars are also going to be more affordable by the end of 2030 and more people would be able to afford it. Owing to environmental safety and looking for safer means of transportation, electric cars have a very bright future as these are more futuristic, advanced, low maintenance than petrol counterparts. Many affordable electric cars are also getting unveiled next year. Indian Companies Maruti is going to launch two new cars like Maruti Wagon R Electric at a price of 8 lakhs and Maruti Futuro-e at a price of 15 lakhs by 2021. Renault is also coming up with a more affordable range of electric cars of the future in 2021-2022, the models are Renault K-ZE at a striking price of 10 lakhs and Renault Zoe Electric at 8 lakhs which will definitely become the new sensations for the mass buyers. While Renault K-ZE will be available in 2022 and the rest will be available at the showrooms by the end of 2021. It is now a good and more wise decision to go for an electric model as the fuel consumption will soon get depleted in the century, and the pollution factor is also a great area of global concern.

Why Do You Need a Gun Cleaning Kit?
If you honestly don’t know the answer to this question, then just go to the range a few times and you will figure it out for yourself. The fact of the matter is, ammunition is dirty. Even the most top shelf, expensive ammo you can find is going to leave fouling and residue all over your gun. Cheap ammo, such as Tula or Wolf steel case or military surplus is even worse, and some varieties can even be corrosive! With this ammo, it doesn’t take long at all for your barrel and chamber to be coated with fouling. Even if all you do is store your firearms and never shoot them, they still collect dust and dirt, and can even rust unless you keep them in a dry place.
All of these factors can cause major issues with your firearms, both long-term, and short-term. Short term, you will find that your firearm has many more malfunctions. Residue can build up on the firing pin and spring, which can cause light primer strikes that fail to fire the round. In semi-automatic firearms, it can also build up in the action and (if applicable) gas system. With the tight tolerances found on today's precision firearms, it doesn’t take long for this to gum up the action and cause a failure to cycle. Over the long term, rust can cause pitting in your barrel and can wear down your rifling. While this may not prevent the firearm from functioning, it will certainly decrease your accuracy, even to the point where it may become dangerous to shoot your firearm. A few dollars spent now on a gun cleaning kit or cleaning box could help prevent you from spending hundreds down the road on a new barrel.
What Do You Need To Clean?
In order to keep your firearm in the best condition possible, you will need to clean absolutely everything, gun maintenance is important. This includes wood and polymer, but most importantly, metal. Wood and polymer parts are typically not essential to the basic operation of the firearm, such as stocks and grips. These will still need to be cleaned in order to keep your gun looking nice, but you will want to be careful with how you clean them. Getting some types of solvents in a polymer frame can actually cause it to melt. Wood and polymer are also much softer and easier to scratch than metal. You will want to make sure that you have a special rag and cleaning brushes that you use to keep these parts clean and in good condition.
The parts you are going to need to give special attention to are going to vary widely by firearm, but every single one will have a few of the main basic components. One of the most important of these is the barrel. While a clean barrel does little to ensure smooth operation, it is one of the biggest components when it comes to accuracy. A rusted and pitted barrel is not going to be able to hit the broad side of a barn, and you will have to keep it clean in order to ensure that it doesn’t rust. If you have a gas-operated semi-automatic firearm, you will also need to make sure that the hole for the gas block is clean and free of debris. A fouled or clogged gas block is the cause of many malfunctions in semi-automatic firearms.
The receiver is the other main portion of all firearms that will need to be cleaned. A receiver typically houses all of the other main firearm components: the fire control group, bolt, and magazine. Making sure you get your receiver and all of its components cleaned is going to ensure that you have a clean rifle that will function as intended. This is going to be one of the most important and time-consuming steps in your cleaning process and is going to require the most tools. When looking for a good cleaning kit, you will want to make sure that you get one that offers plenty of tools and materials to clean your receiver.
What Do You Need in a Kit?
The number of tools included in a gun cleaning kit can vary widely. Some of these kits contain everything but the kitchen sink, while others contain just the bare essentials. You will want to make sure that the kit you purchase contains everything that you need to clean the basic parts of your specific firearms and fill in any gaps with supplemental products. Just about every kit is going to include a basic set of bore cleaning tools. If you take a step up from there, you will find kits that include a few general utility tools, and maybe even a small bottle of chemical. Disassembly tools are sometimes included in a kit, but you will almost always have to purchase any specialty extra tools separately. While you can find several good starter kits that will have most of what you need, you should definitely plan on supplementing your kit with other items.
Bore Cleaning Tools
Bore cleaning tools are considered the bare essentials for every kit, and you will find very few kits that don’t contain a few of them. You will need a few basic items to clean your gun bore. First, you will need a way to break loose stuck on carbon and fouling. After that, you will need a way to get all of the broken up fouling out of the bore, and keep it from rusting with a thin coat of lubricating oil. Finally, you will need a rod to push these tools through the bore.
Bronze Bore Brushes
Bronze bore brushes are some of the most popular and common items in cleaning kits and for a very good reason. These cleaning brushes are very good at breaking loose stuck on fouling and carbon, and scrubbing the inside of your barrel good and clean. Add to that the fact that they are made of bronze, which means that they won’t scratch the inside of your barrel or wear it out. Any cleaning kit worth its salt is absolutely going to have a good selection of bronze bore brushes. I also use these brushes for cleaning much more than just the bore. In fact, almost any tubular crevice on a firearm can be cleaned with one of these. As such, I would highly recommend that you choose a cleaning kit with a full set of bronze brushes ranging from .17 caliber all the way up to 10 gauge. I have used my .17 caliber brush numerous times to clean pin holes and gas tubes.
Nylon brushes are much less common than bronze brushes and for good reason. The nylon is much less abrasive and does nowhere near as good a job at breaking up stubborn fouling. They also wear out much faster than bronze brushes. The upside to this is that they are much gentler on your gun. While this is not a big deal when it comes to cleaning the bore, they can be handy for doing work on wooden or polymer frames. Nylon brushes are far from a requirement for a good kit, but they can be a great added bonus.
Bore mops are designed to be used after the bronze or nylon brush in order to wipe the bore clean of all fouling. These usually look like a fuzzy cotton rod and come in the same sizes as the bronze brushes. My main use of bore mops is for cleaning shotgun barrels (they get much less dirty than rifle barrels) and applying a final coat of oil. Bore mops get dirty very quickly, so if you plan on using these exclusively I would recommend you either rinse them out very thoroughly after every use or purchase many spares. You will also want to make sure that you get a set that ranges from .17 caliber to 10 gauge, as these are very handy for cleaning gas tubes and pinholes in the same way as the bronze brushes.
A bore squeegee is an innovative new product pioneered by Remington. This is a fantastic cleaning product that is made out of soft silicone and comes in a variety of sizes to perfectly fit every caliber. This is used directly after the bronze brush, and it wipes down the walls of your barrel perfectly, pulling a glob of solvent-soaked fouling out of the other end. In one pass, a bore squeegee can do what would normally take several minutes and a pile of patches. A good bore squeegee is, hands down, my personal favorite component of my cleaning kit. If the cleaning kit you ultimately decide to purchase doesn’t have one, I would definitely supplement it with a full set of bore squeegees.
A cleaning jag is also designed to be used directly after the bronze brush and is usually a brass or plastic piece of metal that is sized slightly less than the diameter of your bore. This is so that you can place a cleaning patch over the jag and push it through the bore. The patch soaks up the cleaning solvent and fouling and is discarded and replaced with another patch. This process is repeated until the patches come out clean (this can sometimes take a long time). You can also use the cleaning jag to push an oil-soaked patch through the bore which will give it a light coat of lubricating oil and protect it from rust.
A slotted tip functions very similarly to a cleaning jag. It is also used as a method for pushing a cleaning patch through the bore. The difference is, a slotted tip is usually one of several standard sizes, and the patch runs through the slot and is wrapped up and around the tip to fit inside the bore. Many of your cheaper kits will elect to have slotted tips instead of cleaning jags, as they can be made cheaper and the kit can have fewer of them. As such, they are slightly more difficult to use than cleaning jags.
Cleaning patches are a consumable item that is almost always included in reloading kits. These are simple square cotton patches designed to be used with a cleaning jag or slotted tip in order to soak up and remove fouling and solvent from the inside of the bore. Most cleaning kits come with cheap, thin patches that don’t work very well, so I would plan on making your own out of old clothing. The added bonus to this is that you can use the larger chunks to make your own cleaning rags, and the smaller chunks can be cut into patches. I have found that old work t-shirts make the best cleaning patches. They are cheap, easy to make, and much better than the ones often included in kits. Just remember to have a patch holder so things do not get messy.
The final portion of the tools needed to clean your bore is the rod. This is a long stick that each individual cleaning component screws into. While single-piece cleaning rods are very nice, they take up a lot of space and can be very expensive. Due to this, most cleaning kits will include a multi-piece cleaning rod. If you are looking for a good universal gun cleaning kit, you will want to make sure your kit contains at least 2, maybe even 3 different rods. You will want a rod that is skinny enough to fit down the barrel of a .17 caliber rifle, but that thin rod will be far too weak to push your large brush down the barrel of your 12 gauge. For that, you will want a rod that is much stronger and thicker. For this, you will need at least 2 different rods in your universal cleaning kit.
An option today that is ever increasing in popularity is a flexible cleaning rod. These are made of steel cable and should be coated in order to ensure that they do not scratch the inside of your bore. While you are not able to use these cables to push, they are excellent at pulling your tools through the bore. They are also compact, which not only makes them easy to store but also easy to use, especially on longer barrels. If you are cleaning a 30-inch shotgun barrel, you are also going to need at least a 30-inch cleaning rod. When you first start with your cleaning stroke, you are trying to control 60 inches of tube! This can be difficult and can result in broken equipment and inefficient cleaning. While they are not great for everything, they certainly make some tasks easier and definitely deserve their place in a cleaning kit.
General Cleaning Tools
Once you’ve got everything you need to clean your bore, it’s time to move on to your general cleaning tools. These will be tools you will use to clean your receiver and other basic components of your firearm. A gun cleaning kit may include some, all, or even none of these tools. Not all of them are completely necessary, but they will certainly help you get your firearm much cleaner and make your job much easier.
A good set of utility brushes are one of the most important general cleaning tools. These typically resemble toothbrushes and have different head styles and materials. Your 3 basic materials are going to be bronze, nylon, and steel. The stainless steel brush is to be used very carefully, and only for the very stubborn fouling, as it can scratch the metal in your firearm much easier than the bronze or nylon. I utilize the bronze brush the most, as it is good for removing stuck on grime, yet gentle enough not to score the surface of your metal components. The nylon brush is good for removing light fouling and dirt from sensitive, or finished components. You don’t have to worry about scratching your bluing or scoring your polymer with a nylon brush.
Different head styles are also important. These will usually come in normal, 2 headed and notched. The 2 headed style is by far my favorite, as it includes both one normal and one small head on opposite ends of the same brush. This brush is very handy because you can use the large head to remove stuck on fouling and carbon from larger areas, and the small head is excellent for getting into small crevices and other hard to reach areas in your receiver. This brush is also much more durable and stiffer, as it has shorter bristles that don’t bend as easily. The notched head brush is also handy to have, as it allows you to clean around rails and other protrusions much easier.
Cleaning swabs are another necessary tool to have in your kit if you plan on doing any detailed cleaning. You can get cotton swabs in various styles and lengths, but this is usually something you will have to buy separately from a cleaning kit. You can spend oodles of money on fancy gun cleaning cotton swabs, but by far the most cost-effective method is to raid your wife’s beauty cabinet for Q-tips. That's right, this common household staple is good for much more than applying makeup or cleaning your ears. The soft, absorbent cotton is excellent for soaking up cleaning solvent, applying oil, or wiping clean those hard to reach areas.
A good pick is probably one of the most underrated cleaning tools you can have in your kit. A good pick (like the ones they use at the dental office) can be the difference between a basic quick clean and a thorough, deep clean of your firearm. These picks allow you reach deep into the crevices of your firearm and scrape away fouling that you can’t get with your utility brushes. Not very many gun cleaning kits will include a pick, but these are easily attainable on their own.
The best set of picks will include both plastic and metal picks to be used for different scenarios. Most metal picks included in gun cleaning kits will have 2 sides, one straight flattened side (almost like a flathead screwdriver) and another bent sharp side. Another bonus use of a good pick is this bent sharp side. It can be used to easily hook and retrieve small parts that have fallen in hard to reach areas. I have no idea how many times I have used my pick to fish out a small trigger spring that fell into the deep recesses of my receiver.
While cleaning swabs are great, you can easily get a large pile of them when you are cleaning a dirty firearm. For larger cleanup jobs, I like to have a good set of cleaning rags handy. While not many gun cleaning kits will include a cleaning rag, I like to make my own out of old T-shirts or other worn out clothing. I have found that a thick cotton work sock (preferably a worn-out one with a few holes) works exceptionally well. With this option, you can put it over your hand like a glove and use your fingers to get deeper inside the receiver to wipe away much more solvent and fouling. Whatever you decide to use, a few good cleaning rags are going to be an essential addition to any kit.

While many store-bought cleaning kits fail to include many consumable items, they are still something that is essential to getting a proper clean of your firearm. While some people think that a good CLP is all you need to properly clean your guns, the reality is that there are far more task-specific and better options out there. Your cleaning chemicals can be broken down into two basic categories: solvents, and lubricants. Solvents are used to dissolve metal deposits, carbon, and fouling, while lubricants are used to protect your metal components and ensure smooth operation.
A solvent is one of the most important parts of your cleaning regimen. Most of the time, you will want several solvents in order to get your firearms as clean as they can be. What solvents you choose will mostly depend on the type of ammo you are shooting. For example, if you are shooting a lot of copper jacketed bullets, you will want to make sure that you get a solvent that is good for breaking down copper fouling. This is a very important thing to remember because many of the cheaper solvents are not good at breaking down copper fouling. I typically try to stick with some sort of Hoppes brand solvents. In most of my gun cleaning experience, I have found that Hoppes produces some of the best solvents, and has a wide variety of products to fit every need.
A common mistake that many people make is thinking that solvent is also a lubricant. This is a very dangerous mistake to make. Solvents are designed for one thing and one thing only: to dissolve fouling. While they may look and feel like they would do a good job lubricating your firearm, they most certainly won’t. Solvents evaporate very quickly and will leave your metal unprotected and prone to rust. This is why it’s very important to remove all of the solvents when you are done cleaning and give everything a light coat of oil.
A good lubricating oil is going to be the final part of your gun cleaning process. In a firearm, oil serves 2 purposes. First, it acts as a lubricant. Second, it acts as a rust inhibitor. Every single metal part in your firearm should get a very light coat of oil. I won’t be going to in-depth into different oil types in this article, but it is generally considered best to stick with something that comes in a bottle and avoid aerosol products such as rem-oil. These products look easy and convenient to use but are terrible when it comes to rust prevention and lubrication. You will be much better off sticking with a heavy, viscous gun oil.
Many people make the mistake of thinking that a good CLP is the only chemical that you need in your gun cleaning kit. CLP stands for Clean, Lubricate, and Protect. Sounds great, right? Not really. While a good CLP certainly has its place in your gun cleaning kit, it is far from the be-all, end-all solution to your oil and solvent needs. CLP works great as an emergency cleaner, and its place is very firmly in my emergency gun cleaning kit. I always carry a bottle of it when I attend shooting competitions, as it is excellent for a quick and messy spray to get my gun back up and running again between stages. This is a very short-term solution, however, as it generally makes a mess and really only spreads the fouling out throughout the internal components of your firearm. While CLP certainly has its place in your gun cleaning kit, it should never be the first thing you reach for.
One of the major downsides to any liquid lubrication will be that it attracts dirt and fouling. Oil and grease will quickly turn to sludge in any gun that runs dirty, and that is a recipe for disaster. Dry lubricant is not the best lubricant that there is, but I use it in almost all of my gas operated firearms. Gas operated shotguns and direct impingement rifles, such as the AR-15, are notorious for requiring meticulous cleaning and being very finicky. In order to help with this, I use a good dry lubricant on pistons and any other components that come in direct contact with gases used to cycle the action. This results in increased reliability and smoother function of my firearms. Dry lubricant is expensive and not quite as good as oil, however, so be sure and use it only on the necessary components.
A good grease is a very uncommon, but still necessary component of a good gun cleaning kit. The old adage is “if it rotates, oil it. If it slides, grease it.” This is mostly still true when it comes to lubricating your firearms. While the primary purpose of grease has nothing to do with actually cleaning your firearm or protecting the metal from rust, it does go a long way to ensure that your firearms continue to function smoothly and without error during operation.
Most firearms are designed to be field-stripped for basic cleaning with minimal tools. While this is great for a quick cleaning in the field, you are more than likely going to want to completely disassemble your firearm at home for a thorough cleaning. Doing this is more than likely going to take a few simple hand tools. Most firearms are held together with pins and screws, so a good gunsmithing screwdriver set and some punches are a good addition to any kit.
A good set of punches is going to be a very valuable addition to your kit. Some kits will include a few punches, but it is also a good idea to supplement this with at least one, but ideally several, full punch kits of your own. Ideally, you will want punches made of 3 separate materials: stainless steel, brass, and plastic. Each material type has its own unique advantages and specific uses. The most common type of punch is going to be brass. A brass punch is one of the softer metals, so it will not mar your receiver or other components as easily. It is also sturdy enough to allow you to use a stout hammer in order to drive out tough pins. A good set of brass punches will last you a long time, but not forever. By design, brass punches will “mushroom” over and deform. This is actually a good thing, as it means that you are deforming your punch and not your firearm.
Probably the least important group of these 3 materials is going to be plastic. Plastic punches are not very good for driving out stubborn pins, but they certainly have their place. I typically use plastic punches when I don’t need to use a hammer. This prevents me from making any errant scratches in the finish of my receiver. They are also good for using as slave pins, or a temporary pin used to hold your components in place while you drive in the actual pin.
Steel punches are also very important to have in your set. Since steel is a much harder material, these punches can be both thinner and longer than brass punches. This will allow you to drive out both longer pins and thinner pins. The longer steel punches also make much better slave pins. You will have to be very careful with steel punches, however, as they can often mar your finish or even deform your pins. Too much use of a hard steel punch can cause the end of the pin to mushroom over, and it will no longer fit properly in your firearm. Another bonus use of the long steel punch is a makeshift cleaning swab. I like to cover the end of the punch with a cleaning rag and use it to get into hard to reach places that are still too big for my small cotton swabs.
A good screwdriver set is also very important to completely disassemble your firearm. Almost every firearm will require the use of a screwdriver at some point, and these screws can range from incredibly tiny, to very large. Since a screwdriver set large enough to handle almost any screw you encounter would take up a lot of space, a great solution to this problem is to have a single driver with interchangeable bits. You can find many specialty gunsmithing screwdriver sets that include hundreds of different bits, yet still fit in a small, compact case. These are by far the best option unless you have lots of money and storage space to use on a tool that will receive relatively little use.
When you think about precision firearms, the thought of beating on it with a hammer probably doesn’t cross your mind. However, this is the reality in many cases. Throughout your experience with firearms, you will find that many of these precise instruments are indeed very hardy, and will need quite a bit of “gentle persuasion” from time to time. This does not mean go out to your garage and start wailing on your Glock with a sledgehammer. A gunsmithing hammer set will be a precise set of tools designed specifically to be used on firearms.
A good gun cleaning kit will have 3 different types of hammers. First, you will have a good plastic or rubber-headed hammer. This is to be used for gently tapping in pins or parts into place. If you need a bit more oomph than a lightweight tap, you can step up to a brass hammer. This will have a bit more weight and be much harder than your plastic hammer, but will still be soft enough to avoid any major damage to your firearm. A larger steel hammer should also be included in your kit, but should only be used when all other options have been exhausted.
While most of the following miscellaneous tools are almost never found in off-the-shelf gun cleaning kits, they are all great additions to your cleaning setup, and I use almost all of them on a regular basis. Most of these are very underrated tools to have in a cleaning kit and may seem a bit ridiculous at first until you find yourself in a situation where you need them. If you really want to get serious about keeping your guns in tip-top shape, then you may want to consider investing in some of these tools.
If you have ever been to a jeweler or watch repairman, you have probably seen them intently scrutinizing some small object under a magnifying visor. Much like jewels and watches, firearms also have a multitude of tiny components that need inspected and cleaned on a regular basis. Most of the time, basic unaided sight is more than adequate to get these parts cleaned. But if you really want to make sure everything is perfect, you need a magnifying visor. I know, I know, you are probably laughing at this suggestion. But these devices are actually very affordable, and I find myself using mine almost every time I clean my guns. Once you try one, it will be hard to go back.
There are few things more frustrating than trying to work on a firearm or small part, only to have it slide all over the table or not stay in the place that you need it to. For this, a good set of clamps is excellent. I like to use a basic set of rubber Milwaukee hand clamps. They are great for holding large parts exactly where I want them, all while leaving your finish in good condition. For smaller and more hardy parts, I like to use a good set of vice grips or other locking pliers. You will need to be careful with these so as to not mar your finish, but they are a great tool to have on hand.
A good gun vice makes a fantastic addition to any gun cleaning kit. These can be a bit expensive, but there is simply no nicer way to work on your guns than to have it perfectly cradled and held rock solid in a vice. I personally like to use my Tipton best gun vice. It has padded cradles for the stock and forend and has screw locks to hold it nice and secure. It is fully adjustable and has quite a few accessories, including a magwell lock to securely hold your AR-15 lower receiver.
A good rotary tool, such as a Dremel, can also be very valuable in a gun cleaning kit. These tools have a multitude of attachments, from grinders to sanders, to polishers. While you really won’t use this very often while cleaning your guns, it is certainly handy to have a bit of power for those really tough cleaning jobs. They are also great for sanding down burrs or polishing your components to give you an even smoother operation.
Best Gun Cleaning Kits on the Market in 2020
Best Bore Snake:
Are you looking for a fast and easy way to clean your rifle bore that is cheap and easy? Perhaps you enjoy shooting corrosive ammo, or you just like to take very good care of your barrels by cleaning them before you even get home from the range. If so, then the original BoreSnake from Hoppe’s will make a good addition to your cleaning kit. Boresnakes are very popular among rifle shooters, and for a very good reason. Each snake contains 3 cleaning components: an initial patch to wipe away loose fouling, a brass brush to really scrub the bore, and finally a large cotton cleaning area that is 160 times larger than a standard patch. This means that one or two passes through your bore are all you need to get your barrel squeaky clean!
While the Boresnake is very popular, that does not make it free of shortcomings. The truth of the matter is, the boresnake simply can’t be the only tool in your cleaning kit. It is great for cleaning the bore of your rifle, but that is all. It includes no takedown or disassembly tools, utility brushes, or even solvents or oils. While this tool is certainly a great start or addition to any gun cleaning kit, there are still quite a few other tools you will need.
- Easy to use
- Only cleans the bore
- Does not include any extra tools or cleaning supplies
- Does not include any oil or solvent
Best Compact Gun Cleaning Kit:
If you need a kit that is compact and portable for use at the range but still retains a wide variety of functions and the ability to clean almost every firearm you own, then this Real Avid may be the kit for you. This kit includes the necessary bronze brushes, large mops, slotted tips, cleaning patches and cables to clean almost any size firearm, from a .22 handgun to your 12 gauge shotgun. One nice feature of this kit is that it includes 2 separate plastic coated cables to use as your cleaning rods. In most scenarios, I much prefer these to hard multi-piece cleaning rods and they are much more compact to boot.
One of the few downsides to this kit is it is not very thorough. As I am sure you noticed, it only contains bore cleaning supplies, and no oil or solvent. This can be very problematic if you are wanting to do a deeper clean of your firearm, but then again that is not what this kit is for. This kit was designed to be compact, effective, and a good way to quickly clean all of your guns on the go, and it does that very well. If that is what you are looking for, then this kit is worth looking into.
- Cleans a wide variety of firearms
- Includes flexible cleaning rods
- Does not include oil or solvents
- Has no extra features
- Includes notake down tools
Best AR-15 Cleaning Kit:
If you are looking for a compact an affordable cleaning kit that is loaded with features specifically for the AR-15 style of rifle, then you are definitely going to want to check out this kit. This kit is designed with one thing in mind, and that is quickly and efficiently cleaning your AR-15 rifle. It does that with specialized tools, such as a special bronze chamber brush and star chamber pads to really get your chamber clean. It also includes a utility brush, several picks, and a 3 in 1 cleaning tool that illuminates the bore, drives out takedown pins and acts as an empty chamber flag.
As I’m sure you figured out by now, the main downside to this kit is that it is AR-15 specific. This means you are spending your hard earned money on a kit that is really only good for cleaning one specific type of rifle. Obviously, this is a no-brainer if you only have an AR pattern rifle, or choose to shoot that primarily, but if this type of rifle makes up a small percentage of your collection, then you may want to visit some other options. Another downside is its failure to include any cleaning jags. It does have a slotted tip, but I have found jags to be far more preferable when cleaning any rifle. The 7 section cleaning rod can also be a bear to put together and use. All things considered, I would highly recommend this kit to anybody who is looking for something specifically for an AR-15. If you are wanting a universal kit, it would be wise to spend your money elsewhere.
- Contains many special tools
- Specifically designed for the AR-15
- 7 piece cleaning rod
- Only contains a slotted tip, no cleaning jag
- Not very effective for cleaning other styles of firearms
Best All-In-One Cleaning Kit:
If you are a one-stop shopper and are wanting to get all of the basics in one simple, easy to use, no frills kit, then this may be the option for you. This kit really outshines all of the others with its inclusion of a high-quality oil and solvent. Hoppe’s is generally considered to be one of the best when it comes to oils and solvents, and this kit includes a 4-ounce bottle of Hoppe’s elite gun cleaner (my personal favorite solvent) and a 2-ounce bottle of Hoppe’s elite gun oil. It also includes everything else you will need to effectively clean your firearms, including a utility brush, patches, cleaning cloth, bronze brushes ranging from .22 to 12 gauge, and a loop tip for your patches.
While this kit truly is a basic one stop shop for cleaning supplies, that is not always what you want in a cleaning kit. This kit also lacks a few features found in the larger, nicer kits. For example, this kit only includes 5 bronze bore brushes. While this will be fine for most people, if you have a weird or oddball caliber firearm, you might not be able to find a brush that will fit. It also lacks any sort of cleaning jag assortment, which is a large downside for me. Overall, if you are only able to purchase one kit to clean your guns and nothing else, this would be my go-to. Otherwise, you will have much better luck getting your oil and solvents elsewhere and focusing on a kit with the most equipment.
- Includes oil and solvent
- Includes a utility brush
- Includes a cleaning cloth
- Does not include any cleaning jags
- Only includes 5 bronze bore brushes
Best 3-Gun Cleaning Kit:
If you are getting into 3-gun competitions and looking for a great kit to carry in your range cart, then you may want to give this M-Pro 7 kit a look. This kit is designed with the competition shooter in mind and is tailored to their specific needs. Most 3-gun shooters, like myself, stick to the tried and true combination: a 9mm pistol, a 5.56/.223 caliber rifle, and a 12 gauge shotgun. Coincidentally, this kit includes boresnakes in those 3 bore sizes! It also includes a nylon utility brush, cleaning cloth, and a small bottle of solvent and oil.
While this kit makes a great addition to your 3-gun cart, it is not good for much other than quick maintenance in between stages. For a more detailed and involved cleaning of a poorly maintained firearm, you are going to need far more equipment and chemicals. However, if you have shot 3-gun long enough, odds are you have experienced a firearm malfunction during a stage, no matter how well you take care of your guns before and after the match. In situations like those, it can give you a lot of peace of mind knowing you have the tools to service your firearm after the stage and get it back into tip-top shape.
- Includes 3 boresnakes in the 3 most common 3-gun calibers
- Includes a utility brush
- Includes solvent and oil
- Not good for deep cleanings
- Only good for the 3 main bore sizes
Best High-End Gun Cleaning Kit:
If you absolutely have to have a high-quality, all-inclusive kit and aren’t afraid to pay for it, then you may want to look at this elite range box from Otis. This includes everything you need to clean almost any firearm and is loaded with extra features. This kit comes with a wide variety of brushes, picks, scrapers and specialty tools to make any cleaning job a breeze. It even includes a small assortment of cleaners and lubricants to help get you started. All of this is neatly contained in a hard plastic case to keep everything organized and in good condition.
There is no doubt about it, this is one of the better gun cleaning kits on the market today. It is also one of the most expensive. The simple fact of the matter is, you can find kits of comparable quality for far less money, even if that means buying multiple components or tools to complete your own kit. If the thought of piecing together your own set of cleaning tools and chemicals doesn’t appeal to you, and you're not afraid to drop a chunk of change, this would be a good kit to look in to.
- Includes oil and solvent
- Wide variety of accessories
- High price
- Low value for the money
Best Cleaning Kit for Firearms with Optics:
If your collection consists primarily of firearms with optics on them, then this is a specialized kit that you may want to consider. What sets this kit apart from all of the others on the market is that this one includes a lens tissue, spray, brush, and cloth. It also includes many other specialized tools and handy extras to make sure that you can get the rest of your gun clean as well, and comes with a great warranty. All of this is neatly organized in a soft-sided case.
As with most high-end and specialized gun cleaning kits, the major downfall of this kit is the price. While certainly not the most expensive option in this list, you will pay far more for this kit than many others, with the only main benefit being the optics cleaning supplies. But for somebody who has a large amount of optics that need to be taken care of, such as a benchrest shooter, this could be the best option. If taking care of your optics is just as important to you as taking care of your firearms, then it may be worth the money for you to get this kit.
- Includes optic cleaning supplies
- Includes a wide variety of scrapers, picks, and brushes
- Cleans everything from .17HMR to 12 gauge
- High price
- No cleaning jags
- Soft case
Best Cleaning Kit For The Money:
If you want to get almost everything you need in a gun cleaning kit without spending a lot of money, then this basic universal cleaning kit from Winchester will more than likely fit the bill. More often than not, this is the kit that I find myself reaching for whenever I need to clean my firearms, as it checks almost every box that I look for in a good, thorough kit (including the price). Most important to me, this kit includes a 13 piece brass cleaning jag set, something not seen very often in other kits in this price range. It also includes an excellent assortment of utility brushes and picks to really get into the crevices of your firearm. Another great feature of this kit is how everything is stored. Each bronze brush and mop has its own individual storage tube to help keep them from getting mixed up or lost.
As with any kit in this price range, it is not without its downfalls. For starters, the included cleaning rods are finicky to use and not very sturdy, although that is a feature of many multi-piece cleaning rods. Purchasing a good single piece replacement or going with flexible cleaning rods is a good option here. You will also find that the soft sided case is quite flimsy and not very attractive. However, these are minor grievances for a kit in this price range. Overall, this kit offers some of the best value there is in the gun cleaning market.
- Great value for the money
- Includes full set of brass jags
- Includes great assortment of brushes and picks
- Soft case
- Flimsy 3 piece rods
Cheapest Gun Cleaning Kit:
If you are on a very strict budget and are looking for a decent universal cleaning kit that won’t break the bank, then this Outers kit is a good option to consider. This kit is loaded with features and includes a double-sided utility brush, cleaning pick, 3 pieces cleaning rod, bore brushes, mops, and a set of plastic cleaning jags. This includes just about everything you will need to give your firearms a good clean, minus the oil and solvent. The best part of this kit is that it comes in an attractive wooden case, all at a price point that is easily affordable.
Obviously, cheap is the name of the game with this kit, and that shows in the overall quality. For starters, the cleaning rod is pretty bad and fits very tightly down the barrel of a .22lr. Like most 3 piece cleaning rods, it is very flimsy and prone to breaking at the joints, so you will have to be careful with it. It also only includes plastic cleaning jags instead of brass. Most of the time this is not an issue, but I much prefer a nice set of brass jags over cheap plastic ones. Overall, this is a good introductory or budget kit. If you are wanting something that will get your guns clean without spending a lot of money, this may be the kit for you.
- Includes utility brush and pick
- Attractive wooden case
- Cheaply made
- Flimsy cleaning rod
- Plastic jags
Best Squeeg-E Cleaning Kit:
There are two groups of people when it comes to gun cleaning supplies: those who love the bore Squeeg-E system, and those who haven’t tried it yet. In my opinion, this cleaning system from Remington has revolutionized the way I clean my guns. No more piles of dirty patches in the corner of the workbench. Instead of running patch after patch through the bore and still having them come out dirty, just wipe the bore down with this squeegee a time or two, and then go rinse it off in the sink. While I am the first to admit that I have been very displeased with Remington’s products over the past several years, I couldn’t be happier with the performance of their bore Squeeg-E system. This cleaning kit comes complete with a full set of bore squeeg-Es, as well as a couple utility brushes, bronze bore brushes, solvent, oil, and a 4 piece cleaning rod.
Coming from Remington, this kit obviously has a few downsides. For starters, it is heavily lacking in the extra tools department. While it does come with 2 decent utility brushes, it includes no picks or other basic cleaning tools. The 4 piece cleaning rod is also flimsy and a pain to use. Finally, the oil and solvent included in the kit come in way under par and are by far my least favorite products to use. While I admit that I do use rem-oil occasionally, it is only in very rare circumstances and I cringe when I do it. All things considered, this is a great kit to buy if you are wanting the bore Squeeg-E system. Otherwise, not so much.
- Includes the bore Squeeg-E system
- Includes 2 utility brushes
- Flimsy cleaning rod
- Does not include any picks or other tools
- Poor quality oil and solvent
Best Gun Cleaning Kit Final Thoughts
Let’s face it: if you own a firearm, you are going to have to take care of it, and that requires a cleaning kit. If you want the best cleaning kit that is going to suit all of your needs and clean every firearm that you own, you are going to need a kit that includes a wide variety of brushes, jags, and general utility tools. You’re going to need a kit that has everything you need to get into every nook and cranny of your firearm and scrub it clean. While all of the kits listed above are great options, there are two that stand out above the rest. The universal kit from Winchester includes everything you need to get your firearms squeaky clean (minus oil and solvent), and the universal Squeeg-E kit from Remington will get any gun clean in a snap without a pile of dirty rags at the end. At this point, it comes down to purely personal preference, whether you prefer to use cleaning jags or the Squeeg-E system.

Great price for box set!
A wonderful price for so many great films. I just wish The Dark Knight Rises was part of this! The package included Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception, Memento, and Insomnia. Inception is probably one of my favorite Sci-Fi films, and Memento is so wonderfully done. Totally worth it!

Android: Not to be outdone by yesterday's Swype update, SwiftKey announced the launch of SwiftKey 3 today, complete with a host of new features, including improved error correction and "smart space," where the app automatically adds or removes spaces across strings of text, new UI themes for those who prefer their keyboard fit in with Ice Cream Sandwich's overall look, and improved word prediction to save you time while you type.
SwiftKey's developers tout that the update gives SwiftKey the most advanced error correction and text prediction available in an Android keyboard, and while SwiftKey is one of our favorite Android keyboards for just that reason, we'll let you decide. The new UI themes come in "cobalt," which updates the traditional SwiftKey design, and "holo," which helps the keyboard blend in with Ice Cream Sandwich. The keyboard also has a slightly tweaked layout with a larger space bar and dedicated comma key, both of which make it easier to type quickly and access frequently used punctuation.
SwiftKey 3 has been in beta for a couple of months, and the new version replaces Switkey X for phones and tablets. To celebrate, the app is on sale for half-price at Google Play (today only) for $1.99. Current SwiftKey owners will get the update for free. What do you think of the update? Let us know in the comments below.

Kaliasot dam: Hotspot for big cat sighting in Bhopal
The Kaliasot dam, located on the outskirts of the capital Bhopal, has become the new hotspot for tiger sighting.bhopal Updated: Oct 04, 2015 21:25 IST
The Kaliasot dam, located on the outskirts of the capital Bhopal, has become the new hotspot for tiger sighting. People, especially youngsters, are constantly heading towards the forests around the dam to catch a glimpse of Tiger T-1, which frequently wanders off in these parts.
The rising traffic, coupled with the growing interest in the big cats, has come as a headache to the forest department.
To keep the enthusiastic and adventurous away from the lurking danger, the forest department has also deployed several forest guards to ensure that people, especially those on foot or two-wheelers, stay away from the greens. But the efforts have not met much success, sources say.
Talking to HT, Shivam Gupta, a resident of Old City, said: “My friends and I frequently visit the Kaliasot dam. Earlier we visited the place at night to enjoy fresh air and watch the city shine from afar. But nowadays we go there to catch a glimpse of a tiger. I wish I will get to see one soon.”
Another Safi Khan, who recently posted a photograph of a tiger on Facebook, which he and his cousins spotted near the Kaliasot dam, said: “We were going to a farmhouse when we spotted the tiger at night around 15 days back. The experience was a bit frightening as well as exciting.”
According to forest department sources the tourist traffic in and around the dam increased after a few videos and photographs of the big cat became viral on the social networking sites and instant messaging applications over the past few weeks.
“Whenever a tiger is spotted near the dam, the news spreads like wildfire and scores of people reach the spot instead of staying away from the carnivorous animal. Many people head right to the dam at night. Till date the tiger has not attacked any human beings, but…a serious incident can happen anytime,” said a forest guard deployed near the dam, without wishing to be named.
The guard told HT that when people fail to spot the tiger, they click photographs near the warning signage.
Not just tiger, the forest near the dam is also a habitat of three leopards and a family of sloth bear. What makes matter worse is the fact that the areas, where the big cat has been spotted recently, are very close to some educational institutes.
When approached, PCCF Narendra Kumar said, “One should remain concerned about his/her personal safety and should avoid visiting such places on odd timings…It is not a national park where the tiger is moving. In national parks, tigers are used to seeing vehicles and humans. If a tiger is in defensive mood it may attack someone.”

Yes, I know what a lot of you are thinking right now. 🙂
They knock on your door and wants to discuss “our lord jesus” and when you tell them to go fuck themselves, they want to sell you a book.
This cult is not only bat shit crazy, it is also cherry picking the bible, using only a third of it.
They don’t allow blood transfusions to their kids, they don’t allow you to leave, once you’re in… not that it matter if you should die or even be in the cult, only a few of them are allowed in anyways (144,000).
But what is true about them? What do they believe?
Let’s take a look.
Founded in 1879 by Charles Taze Russell. Russell concluded, among other things, that the second coming of Christ would occur in 1914, that Hellfire did not exist, and God was not a Trinity.
Today, there are 6.4 million practicing Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide. Witnesses are very active in evangelism and missions, both in the group’s original home of the United States and throughout the world.
They reject blood transfusions because of the New Testament command to “abstain from blood” and they do not vote or serve in the military.
Witnesses reject the symbol of the cross, do not celebrate any traditional Christian holidays, and do not celebrate birthdays.
Jehovah’s Witnesses look forward to a theocracy, in which all human governments are abolished and God rules the entire earth himself.
Although Witnesses once predicted specific dates for this event, they now state that “the Bible does not give a date for these events.”
They condemn sex before marriage, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, incest, and the use of pornography as “serious sins before God.”
Masturbation, anal sex and oral sex, whether done within marriage or not, are deemed as unnatural, unclean, and sinful.
A person is to avoid even thinking of these things.
The February 8, 1995 issue of Awake! stated with regard to homosexuality:
“True, some individuals may very well be prone to homosexuality… a Christian cannot excuse immoral behavior by saying he was “born that way.” Child molesters invoke the same pathetic excuse when they say their craving for children is “innate.” But can anyone deny that their sexual appetite is perverted? So is the desire for someone of the same sex.”
Slamming the door on Jehovah.

Conclusion: Avoid these people. They will fuck your life up.

This is a transcription of the WPA Death Records for Kosciusko County, Indiana. These deaths were recorded through the efforts of the WPA (Works Project Administration), a program of the U.S. Federal Government from 1936 to 1940 that employed out of work individuals to transcribe and index a variety of public records in Indiana. More information on the WPA efforts can be found in this article by Rhonda R. McClure. John G. West also provides an index of what records were recorded for each county in Indiana by the WPA.
Be cautioned that while 7,455 deaths are recorded, these records are not all inclusive of all deaths in Kosciusko County, IN during this time period. For example, the WPA Death Records for 1890 note 124 deaths; while the obituaries in the Indianian Republican newspaper for 1890 number 160. You might also see a notation such as "6M" where you would expect a name. This indicates a child with no first name noted, but the age at death (6M = 6 months). There are also duplicates of names, due to the WPA using both the County and Township Books. In at least one case, the same person is noted with different death dates (Hilda Maria Jensen)
Our gratitude goes out to Marge Priser for providing this transcription.

"Busy Hands" in Prince Edward County is happening this weekend, December 12th and 13th in Wellington at the Essroc Centre, at 111 Belleville St. There will be 70 vendors at this fantastic community event which over the years has evolved into one big County party where you can buy stuff! Really cool stuff that's made by hand by all local talent. And ... we sure do have a lot of local talent. I am really looking forward to this weekend! This past month I have been busy cooking up some new hats and a few other interesting little items especially for "Busy Hands". This show couldn't have a more appropriate name.
'Left Bank' ~ wet felted merino wool & silk
'Clare de Lune' ~ wet felted merino wool & silk
'Slate' ~ wet felted merino wool blended with silk
'Valentine' ~ wet felted merino wool with feather
Arthur's felted boots ~ size one year
Felted boots and slippers for littles are possibly the cutest things ever. At Rosehaven Yarn Shop (where I work) we sell the most adorable crocheted boots and slippers for little ones which I have always wanted to try to make but not being a crocheter I decided to try felting a pair. Then while on a Facebook I discovered the most exsquite felted baby slippers by the amazing felter Vaida Petreikis from Lithuania. You can find her work here on Etsy and she ships all over the world. I was so inspired by her that I really wanted to make a few pair (similar but different) myself. Since I'm a ribbon fanatic of course I have put bows on mine. This was mostly as a challenge to see if I could do it at all and to see how much work is involved in the pattern making, felting and shaping process. I will not be making lots of baby slippers and boots because I make hats so if you love these check out Vaida's site and order there. In the end I love how these turned out and I thank her for the wonderful inspiration which also helped me improve my skill... but ... just so you can appreciate her work (and mine) it's important to understand that one tiny pair are almost as much work as a hat (and that's a lot of work)! Mine are made in four sizes: newborn, 3 to 6 months, one year and two years.
Baby Boots ~ newborn size
Baby ballerina ~ two year size
Baby ballerina ~ one year size
Boots ~ 3 to 6 month size
Baby ballerina ~ 3 to 6 month size
Baby ballerina ~ newborn size
Baby ballerina ~ newborn size
Jelly bean slippers!
iPad or tablet cover
Felted wallet size pouch
These unique felted bags can be used as pouches, purses or for whatever you can think of carrying inside (your lunch?). They are nuno felted using fine merino wool on beautiful silk fabric and embellished with silk, wool ribbon, and little bits of colourful sari silk.
Here are some of the lovely ladies who visited CakeTin Hats at the Maker's Hand show and sale last month. Some took home their perfect hat while others just had fun trying on various styles and colours! Either way it is always a delight to have so many people visit the booth.
Sandra came all the way from Toronto for this perfect hat!
Gabby looking angelic in the floral headwreath!
Elizabeth in her lovely Downton Abbey look
Gabby with the flower pin she bought for her pretty headband
Below are just some of the hats that will be at the "Busy Hands" show and sale. These are photos I took yesterday (yes ... I was outside on December 7 taking pictures) of hats that have already appeared on the Blog. Sometimes it's nice to have a second viewing from a different perspective. The gray, overcast December skies offered up the perfect light to capture the elusive, sometimes subtle colours and eliminate any concealing shadows.

By Rosemary Prawdzik
If you ever feel like work is closing in and life is becoming too frantic, you might find yourself wanting to unplug and re-energize in natural surroundings.
In dreaming about your escape, your criteria may read something like this: Must be within a few hours’ drive, affordable, and surrounded by a natural landscape that wipes away any thoughts even resembling work or day-to-day responsibilities. If you have children, your criteria may also include a place where they are welcomed and where they can run and play without being considered a nuisance. And you might even want to take the family dog along.
One getaway that meets all these specifications is nestled on the eastern slope of the rugged and dramatic Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona. This is Apache country, where Cochise and Geronimo fought to protect their ancestral lands. And at the DD Gamble Guest Lodge & Ranch, you’ll begin to understand why.
Turning off the highway, you may be surprised how quickly civilization recedes. As you travel the mile to the ranch, you’ll feel yourself slipping back in time. It becomes rather clear why the Apaches loved this landscape.
Even more amazing to our contemporary sensibilities: not much has changed. Modern development hasn’t really touched this region, and it looks much the same as it did 150 years ago. Clear skies, stunning sunrises, fiery sunsets, and the moon rising in a sky painted white by the Milky Way.
One recent guest, Carol Schlim, a resident of North Carolina, commented, “What I liked best was the peaceful isolation. The silence and the stars were worth the trip.”
Accommodations at the lodge are rustic, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. There’s a gathering place for reading, working on puzzles, playing cards or board games, or just relaxing and chatting with the ranch’s hosts, Tom and Alicia Davidson. The duo share cooking and clean-up duties, and all meals are included in the overnight accommodation fees.
Historic hiking trails, Old West forts, the Chiricahua Desert Museum and some of the best birdwatching in the state are located nearby. A highlight for many is the chance to hitch a cart to the miniature horses and take them out for a spin. Good-natured ranch hands actually do the hitching and then provide driving and safety instruction. The “mini experience” can provide quite an adrenaline rush, depending on your need for speed, as the horses are capable of moving up to 35 miles per hour!
Children are encouraged to give driving the horse-drawn cart a try as long as they are enthusiastic, willing to follow instructions, and their parents ride along. For those who prefer horseback riding, well-trained livery horses can be saddled up to hit the trail.
An aspect of the ranch that makes it more unique is that it is home to DMD Hearts & Hooves equine therapy program, a non-profit 501c3 that harnesses the healing power of animal assisted therapy. One of the only programs of its kind in the nation, the minis provide therapeutic healing to those affected by traumatic injury.
“The therapy program is really an outgrowth of a visit in 2009 by Alicia’s mother,” relates Tom. Confined to a wheelchair, she would spend the day grooming and talking with the horses. This prompted Alicia to take classes on training and care of therapy horses. The minis now make “house calls” to VA hospitals, nursing homes, hospices and classrooms as far away as Tucson and El Paso.
“About three or four times a year, the Arizona branches of the Association of the United States Army sponsor wounded soldiers and their families to visit the ranch to ride and relax,” continued Tom. “In addition, a number of agencies bring at-risk children as well as mentally and physically disabled children and adults to the ranch to experience the horses.” Research has shown that these warm little creatures aid in physical and emotional healing through lowering blood pressure, heart rates, and stress levels.
Donations and volunteers are welcome. For more information, contact alicia@minidreamsLLC.com. For guest ranch reservations, call 520-558- 1088 or visit ddgambleguestlodge.com.

Here’s Looking at You, Cinq.Me
The past week has been a blur with assignments and coop interviews piling high for our VeloCity students. Max Spear, of Cinq.Me found time in his busy schedule to give readers a more in-depth look into Cinq.Me (previously referred to as Lynx Solutions):
Who We Are
Cinq.Me is an online professional network-building tool that facilitates in-person meetings between individuals seeking new business connections. The virtual system overcomes the key issues limiting networking opportunities, including introversion, schedule co-ordination, and our tendency to seek out those similar to ourselves. Unlike services such as LinkedIn, which allows one to maintain contact with existing business relationships and is entirely virtual, Cinq.Me introduces you to new like-minded professionals in a face-to-face setting. Ultimately, Cinq.Me creates opportunities for one to strengthen their professional network in a time-efficient manner that no existing solution accomplishes.
How It Works
Cinq.Me works by using a “linking” algorithm to find other professionals who have scheduled available times that overlap with yours. The algorithm is based on an array of factors, including availability, role in the company, department/organization, location, and core skills. This method of “skill-based” rather than “interest-based” linking works to ensure that our users meet a diverse set of professionals, overcoming the traditional discriminatory factors such as race, gender, and age.
In October, Cinq.Me will be live for testing at the VeloCity residence. In this phase, we aim to see how the system gets used in a real-world environment. Development is currently in full force, and we are excited for the upcoming launch.
Cinq.Me is comprised of seven members. Max Spear, a 5A Math & Business Double Degree student, brings strategic direction and sales experience to the team, having spent co-op terms with Deutsche Bank and Deloitte. Tom Price is a 2A Knowledge Integration student, responsible for the team’s marketing and operational management. The development team of five includes Shaon Bhuiyan, a 2A Software Engineering student with a strong knowledge of web start-ups, having worked at Kontagent and Xtreme Labs. Eddie Du, 2A Combinatorics & Optimization and Computer Science, and David Hu, 2A Software Engineering, both have spent co-op terms at Google and provide the team with anything from ideas to products. Dmitry Blotsky, a 2A Software Engineering student, is an expert in website development and draws on his co-op experiences at Marketcircle Inc.. The final member of the team, Jason Wong, is in 3B Computer Science and possesses an extensive experience in an array of programming languages, having been previously employed by RIM.

In talking about writing, William Saroyan once remarked: "What difference does it make what you call it, just so it breathes?"
Following this thread, novelist Richard Brautigan, wrote a raft of novels that reviewers sometimes called Brautigans rather than novels.
The old rules fall away, but one seems to stick.
The importance of plot. Somehow you can't get away from it. For plot is -- if not everything -- all but the kitchen sink. Come to think of it, we shouldn't leave out the kitchen sink either. Especially if it's doing some gruesome gurgling. We may need that gurgle to further the plot.
Which brings me to Trent Zelazny's new novel, Too Late To Call Texas.
Trent is a plotter not a plodder, and his novels breathe, as Saroyan said they should.
What makes this novelist's stories gripping is that the plot is "everyman in trouble" compounded with what has been called the "irrelevant detail."
Example: a guy driving on a lonely New Mexico road at night finds a cowboy hat on a fence. Curious, (as are we all) the driver stops to check it out. The hat has a hole in the crown. There is a sticky something there, too. Blood? Yes.
One question after another comes up, one after another, in this hell-and-gone masterpiece that might have been called a "yarn" in another era.
I call his novels Trents. Because they all have this similar ring of truth. Something obscure is happening and we don't know what it is, but we want to find out, and do. By then we're at the end of the novel, ka-ching.
Trents thrive on curiosity. The same that killed the cat. His cats are characters, and they do sometimes die for curiosity. But often, the irrelevant details mount up, and one little thing leads to another larger thing, all of them coming down to a greedy, sneaky, dangerous, leaky, eeky thing.
Don't read Trents on an empty stomach -- or a too-full one. When I read them, I tend to eat the same things his characters eat. Huevos rancheros yesterday while I finished Too Late To Call Texas.
If you're a writer, you need to take a look at a whole bunch of Trents.
If you're a reader, you should read them all, eating as you go, but look out for that unforeseen low ledge because it'll knock you off your horse.

We recently did a column on unusual animal friends -- our parrot, George and our Great Dane, Zora. They are reluctant friends, really, because Zora accepts George's parrot affection but does not return it so much as permit it.
In the story of Cat and Crow by Lisa Fleming, it's different.
Moses the crow saves the life of Cassie the kitten -- not once but several times.
True story, well-told, showing how very different creatures overcome their differences -- or perhaps they didn't know they had any. If humans could be more like this we wouldn't have two-party poltical systems. But that is another story . . . .
It's not uncommon to find odd-fellow friends in nature. Animal moms frequently adopt babies from other species. We have seen feral kittens with raccoon babies, and the moms treat the cats as kits. And the kitties end up as cats that wash their food in water.
We once witnessed a very unusual friendship between an 11-year old boy and a newborn fly. They became, one beautiful summer day, "best friends." But here's the unusual part: the fly refused to leave the boy's forearm. The boy fed the fly sugar water and such and the fly might leave the boy for a second or two, but it always came back and settled on his arm.
This unusual friendship lasted one week. Whereupon the fly got old and died.
There was, in fact, a fly-in funeral. According to the boy, other flies dropped by to pay their last respects.
What is most amazing is that we, as humans, somehow manage to believe that cats and crows and boys and flies live on different planets and have nothing in common.

For this week’s post, I thought to share my favorite accessories for the Fuji X100F – now, as I consider the set-up complete and tested during several street shoots. While the X100F is visually (and technically) a beauty to shoot with, I decided to get other accessories to make it match my usage and visual taste even more. However, voices differ if what highly skilled engineers designed should be altered in any ways. So, please understand my additional accessories as a completely personal and subjective view.
This post is basically an update to my earlier What’s in my camera bag post.
Basics: Filter, Lens Hood, Screen Protector, and Spare Batteries
The first set of accessories for my Fuji X100F could be considered as basics as I on my turn found several photographers and X100F users who actually completed their X100F acquisition by those accessories.
The first is a basic UV filter to protect the lens from scratches, for example. In my case, I went for the Hoya HMC Slim Frame filter in size 49mm. This filter does the job quite well.
Second, and needed to fix the filter, is a lens hood including a filter mount thread. I remember that I looked through many brands, versions, and shapes and finally settled in on the JJC LH-JX100II in black. I really like the shape and that you can still put the X100F’s beautiful lens cap on top.
Remaining in the idea of camera protection, I purchased a screen protection film from Expert Shield called Glass. Quite easy to stick on the screen (after a thorough preparation) and solid.
Finally, as I usually try to spend one complete day out in the streets when my planning allows for that, I added two batteries by Patona (Premium Series for NP-W126) and a dual USB charger for the batteries by the same brand. Those batteries might probably last a bit less long than the original Fuji NP-W126S included for the X100F, but they really keep up well, and I never had to head home to charge.
Ergonomics: Improving the Grip
First, I added a soft release button by VKO (11mm, concave surface). There were three in the pack I purchased, which probably makes sense as I already almost lost the one in black I had on the release.
The soft release button was already one of the first add-ons to improve (in my very personal sense) the ergonomics of the X100F. As the grip on the body itself is only minimally provided, I added other accessories to my set-up, which alter the visual appearance of the camera quite a bit: the folding thumb grip by Lensmate and a wood camera grip by J.B. Camera Designs.
While those two accessories in addition to the lens hood make the Fuji X100F bulkier, the camera now lies perfectly in my hand and I am not worrying that it might slip off my hands. One-hand-held shots even with slower shutter speeds are also possible thanks to the extra stability when holding the camera. And, from my personal view, J.B.’s wood grip is visually just awesome.
Initially, I went for Peak Design’s Slide Light camera strap (in black) and their Cuff wrist strap (in ash) and was very happy with how easy and comfortable those are. Especially with the new anchors, you quickly fix and release the straps.
While highly satisfied, I changed the set-up when I saw a DIY camera strap tutorial on YouTube, which used paracord. After a first attempt, I really liked the fact to customize the camera straps and make them myself. A couple of months after watching the tutorial, I by now have five camera straps and four wrist straps in different colors and slightly altered designs. The idea is the same as for Peak Design’s solution: I used small buckles fixed with paracord to the camera body and the other part of the buckles at the ends of the camera straps. This allows for fixing, releasing and switching between designs and wrist versus neck straps easily. My other digital and analog cameras are equipped with the same – just as my initial set-ups with the Peak Design products.
I will come back to the camera straps in a separate blog post soon.
1-to-1 Copy With My Fuji XPro2 Set-Up
After several months with this set-up, I am that satisfied that I added the same accessories (except for a few parts) to my Fuji XPro2, which makes switching from one to another almost seamless.
Let me know what your accessories and experiences with those include. Happy shooting!

Playing Video Games, Challenging Goshujinsama & Ojousama, Programming, Technology, Watching Streamers, Pixel Art
It was the first day of the summer holiday, after a term that felt like forever. Mitsuko looked out of the window onto the autumn afternoon, listening to the familiar hum of students talking and papers shuffling. The wet pavement and bright sunshine formed a beautiful glowing rainbow in the sky. Mitsuko was looking forward to a whole month of gaming!
As Mitsuko was sat daydreaming, she saw a sudden flash of light plummet down from the sky, followed by a loud crash! She looked around her room, but nothing was amiss there. She ran over to the window and stuck her head out to check the source of the noise.
A figure was lying face down in the grass. The figure, a beautiful girl with glistening pink hair and strange clothes, started to move. Mitsuko ran out of the room, down the stairs, flung open the doors and started running towards the figure. The girl jumped up suddenly, dusted herself off and looked right at Mitsuko.
‘That didn’t quite go to plan!’ Said the mysterious girl. ‘My name is Niji! I have come to your world to give you the magical gift of Kawaii.’
‘Kawaii? B-but… where did you come from?!’ Mitsuko exclaimed.
‘The Kawaii Kingdom of course! Listen – I don’t have much time to explain. But, in everyone’s hearts, there is a sleeping magic that is awakened by spreading a feeling of ‘moe’ to everyone you meet. So, Mitsuko, you have been chosen as the magical girl who will spread the moe of this world! Awaken the sleeping magic in everyone’s hearts!’ Niji beamed at Mistuko.
‘But I-‘ Mitsuko started, but Niji thrust a heart shaped locket into Mitsuko’s hand. The locket began to shake, and before Mitsuko could say anything more, she was lifted up in a ball of pink light. She felt weightless, like all her troubles had disappeared and only kawaii was left in her soul. In a turret of glitter, sparkles and stars, Mitsuko was transformed - wearing the sweetest pink uniform she’d ever seen! In her heart, she knew that she must spread kawaii magic to the world.
After a time, Mitsuko became more and more ready to take on her biggest dream – winning the biggest gaming tournament in the world! After being cheered on for many years by Goshujinsama and Ojousama, Mitsuko decided to make her dream a reality! So, she handed Meian Maid Café to Maid Chiyo and Maid Sachiko so that the café would continue to spread moe magic forever!
Years passed, and nobody had heard from Mitsuko – everyone assumed she had been training hard for the tournament.
Gradually, the Maids of Meian started hearing more and more whispers about where Mitsuko had gone. Then, one fateful day, Mitsuko returned to the café! She ran to Maid Chiyo and Maid Sachiko and shouted ‘I won! That’s right - I won the biggest gaming tournament in the world!’
However, Chiyo and Sachiko noticed that Mitsuko seemed… different, somehow. Maybe winning the tournament has changed Mitsuko…

Docked on Mission Creek in San Francisco, California, this modern floating house is proof that life on the water can be beautiful, sophisticated and intriguing at the same time.
The long way to becoming the dream home for Sarah and Kimo Bertram started on land, in Sausalito, where the house-boat has been envisioned by the creative minds from Robert Nebolon Architects, together with general contractor Bart Elmer. The duo came up with the idea of nesting the structure in a boxlike concrete barge that not only protects it from the marine climate but also provides keel-like stability — a much needed feature on water.
The final stage came, and upon completion the house-boat was launched (disproving any technological opinions that it may not float) and towed through the San Francisco Bay to the place where it now proudly resides.
With a rather elegant blue and white exterior (finished in highly durable fluoropolymer paint), the 2,100-square-foot home doesn’t even hint at the fantastic interior that you see upon entering. The design strikes with colorful additions that bring life and define the its personality. Everything has a contemporary touch, starting with the open space living room, the bright kitchen design and finishing with a stunning dining area.
The coffee table and the side chair are definitely the piece de resistance in this fantastic setup. They have been custom-made by Putra Salahin in Bali, together with the rest of the furniture.
Not sure about you folks, but getting closer and closer to the water has never sounded more appealing! Sarah and Kimo certainly knew how to pick this one out, don’t you think?

|Do not fly Iberia
Display Latin text
Translated by Rev. Canon Roberts
Book VIII Chapter 14: The Revolt of the Latins and Campanians. The settlement of Lanuvium[338 BC]
Return to index
The leaders of the senate applauded the way in which the consul [Note 1] had introduced the motion, but as the circumstances differed in different cases they thought that each case ought to be decided upon its merits, and with the view of facilitating discussion they requested the consul to put the name of each place separately.
Lanuvium received the full citizenship and the restitution of her sacred things, with the proviso that the temple and grove of Juno Sospita should belong in common to the Roman people and the citizens living at Lanuvium. Aricium, Nomentum, and Pedum obtained the same political rights as Lanuvium. Tusculum retained the citizenship which it had had before, and the responsibility for the part it took in the war was removed from the State as a whole and fastened on a few individuals. The Veliternians, who had been Roman citizens from old times, were in consequence of their numerous revolts severely dealt with; their walls were thrown down, their senate deported and ordered to live on the other side of the Tiber [Note 2]; if any of them were caught on this side of the river, he was to be fined 1000 ases, and the man who caught him was not to release him from confinement till the money was paid. Colonists were sent on to the land they had possessed, and their numbers made Velitrae look as populous as formerly.
Antium also was assigned to a fresh body of colonists, but the Antiates were permitted to enrol themselves as colonists if they chose; their warships were taken away, and they were forbidden to possess any more; they were admitted to citizenship. Tibur and Praeneste had their domains confiscated, not owing to the part which they, in common with the rest of Latium, had taken in the war, but because, jealous of the Roman power, they had joined arms with the barbarous nation of the Gauls. The rest of the Latin cities were deprived of the rights of intermarriage, free trade, and common councils with each other. Capua, as a reward for the refusal of its aristocracy to join the Latins, were allowed to enjoy the private rights of Roman citizens, as were also Fundi and Formiae, because they had always allowed a free passage through their territory. It was decided that Cumae and Suessula should enjoy the same rights as Capua. Some of the ships of Antium were taken into the Roman docks, others were burnt and their beaks rostra) were fastened on the front of a raised gallery which was constructed at the end of the Forum, and which from this circumstance was called the Rostra.
Note 1: consul = Camillus

Big data represents a golden opportunity for small and midsize enterprises. Many businesses are investing heavily in big data analytics, with much of that spending on predictive analytics technology that can analyze data to forecast future events. These solutions are particularly useful for sales and marketing teams, helping to create targeted campaigns and touches that increase sales. However, using predictive analytics for sales and marketing poses challenges.
Some predictive analytics applications are so complex that they can be used only by highly paid data scientists. And some solutions require large clusters of expensive high-end servers. Until recently, only very large organizations could afford the staff and infrastructure needed to use predictive analytics effectively.
Today, in-memory technology is changing that reality. It lets less-expensive servers process large quantities of data quickly, so that more businesses can afford the necessary hardware. These new in-memory solutions also feature intuitive interfaces so that sales and marketing groups can self-service their own needs.
Download this guide to find out six ways sales and marketing teams at small and midsize organizations can use the predictive analytics solution from Dell EMC, SAP and Intel to convert more prospects into customers.

“While much of the public debate was initially focused on the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan as the origin of the pandemic, the preponderance of evidence now suggests that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Given the WIV’s demonstrated history of conducting gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses, including genetically manipulating viruses specifically to make them infectious to humans in BSL-2 labs, as well as their possession of one of the world’s largest collections of coronaviruses, it is completely plausible that one or more researcher(s) was accidentally infected and carried the virus out of the lab. The evidence outlined above, combined the cover-up conducted CCP authorities, strongly suggest the Wuhan Institute of Virology as the source of the current pandemic,” McCaul released in a statement.
“We know gain-of-function research was happening at the WIV and we know it was being done in unsafe conditions. We also now know the head of the Chinese CDC and the director of the WIV’s BSL-4 lab publicly expressed concerns about safety at PRC labs in the summer of 2019. It is our belief the virus leaked sometime in late August or early September 2019. When they realized what happened, Chinese Communist Party officials and scientists at the WIV began frantically covering up the leak, including taking their virus database offline in the middle of the night and requesting more than $1 million for additional security,” he continued.
Evidence extensively laid out in a new report points to a lab leak in September 2019 and athletes who competed in the Military World Games in October 2019 became very ill. When they arrived in Wuhan for the games, the city was essentially locked down.
“During the games, many of the international athletes became sick with what now appear to be symptoms of COVID-19. In one interview, an athlete from Luxembourg described Wuhan as a ‘ghost town,’ and recalls having his temperature taken upon arriving at the city’s airport,” the report states. “The service member also revealed his family members became ill as his symptoms increased, a development that is consistent with both human-to-human transmission of a viral infection and COVID-19. Similar claims about COVID-19 like symptoms have been made by athletes from Germany, France, Italy and Sweden.”
As it becomes clear the Wuhan Institute of Virology is the source of the pandemic, Republican lawmakers are looking for accountability and to prevent it from happening again. Funding of the lab through the National Institutes of Health and grants given to EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak by Dr. Anthony Fauci are in the spotlight.
“Now is the time to use all of the tools the U.S. government has to continue to root out the full truth of how this virus came to be. That includes subpoenaing Peter Daszak to appear before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to answer the many questions his inconsistent – and in some instances outright and knowingly inaccurate – statements have raised. It also includes Congress passing legislation to sanction scientists at the WIV and CCP officials who participated in this coverup,” McCaul said. “This was the greatest coverup of all time and has caused the deaths of more than four million people around world, and people must be held responsible.”

Keep Your Family Warm and Comfortable This Winter
Winter is upon us. If you live in one of the colder regions of the world, this is the perfect time to get replacement windows installed. In the United States, anywhere between 15 to 35 percent of heat loss during the winter time is attributed to windows which are poorly insulated. By taking advantage of glass window repair, keep yourself and your family warm and cozy this winter, even against the most frigid, snowy nights.
The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, in a recent report, predicts an accelerating, double digit growth in spending on home improvement throughout the end of 2013. A huge amount of Americans are preparing for the cold this winter by installing replacement windows, and they will be thankful for it.
Replacement windows can provide so much more than just comfort and warmth. By taking advantage of the decision to replace windows, your house can achieve a newfound aesthetic appeal as well.
The modern style windows which run from floor to ceiling which are so popular today were not made possible until the perfection of the industrial glass making process. Skylights can also provide 30 percent more light than a normal window of the same size. Consider your placement when installing replacement windows.
You do not need to shiver this winter. Keep your heat indoors and save on energy costs by getting new replacement windows. Both your wallet and your family will thank you for it!

Research presented at 2019 AAAAI Annual Meeting details phase one study of peptide-based immunotherapy, which is designed to remove risks of acute reactions during treatment
READ ARTICLE HIDE ARTICLE
San Francisco, CA – New phase one data has demonstrated PVX108, a peptide-based immunotherapy for peanut allergy, has a highly favorable safety profile, even for patients with severe peanut allergies.
Presented for the first time at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), the study graded all adverse reactions to PVX108 mild or moderate. Severe reactions to immunotherapy is a substantial barrier for patients, making the results of this new treatment even more significant.
PVX108 stands out by utilizing peptides that have been carefully selected from peanut proteins to induce tolerance to peanuts. By allowing these peptides to interact with immune cells, in the absence of whole protein which causes inflammation in allergic patients, those immune cells causing allergies may be reprogrammed to tolerate the allergen. The peptides are designed to be incapable of activating mast cells and basophils, so the risk of PVX108 causing severe reactions (including anaphylaxis) during treatment is greatly reduced.
The first stage of the study assessed single, ascending doses of PVX108 and enrolled eight cohorts of six subjects each. Subjects of each cohort were randomized to receive PVX108 or the placebo. Cohorts were enrolled one at a time, starting with a single injection. Once it was determined the cohort had safely tolerated the injection, the next cohort received an injection of a slightly higher dose. The dose escalated for each successive cohort, with the eighth cohort receiving the highest dose. In the second stage of the study, a ninth cohort of 18 subjects was randomized to receive multiple (six) injections at the same dose level delivered over a 16 week period.
The majority of adverse reactions reported were related to the injection site and typical of those seen in a phase one study. None of the reactions were deemed to be of clinical concern according to the study’s Safety Review Committee. The frequency and severity of adverse reactions appeared unrelated to dose levels or frequency of dose.
“This is an exciting time for clinicians who treat patients with peanut allergies as we now have several approaches being evaluated to treat this potentially life-threatening condition,” said Professor Robyn O’Hehir, MD, PhD, Director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Allergy and Clinical Immunology (Research), Central Clinical School, at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “In particular, we are extremely encouraged by the favorable safety profile observed for PVX108 in this first clinical study of a peptide immunotherapy in peanut-allergic patients. In contrast to traditional specific immunotherapies which rely on exposing patients to allergenic proteins and carry the risk of dangerous side effects including anaphylaxis, PVX108 has been formulated to comprise only the small peptide components of peanut protein that are believed to be critical for inducing tolerance in T cells. The peptides are synthesized to high quality standards and precisely target the underlying cause of disease. PVX108 does not contain whole peanut protein, so can be administered safely without dose escalation. While still early, the data suggest that monthly intradermal injections of PVX108 could transform how we treat patients with peanut allergies, including those with severe allergy.”

SHELTON — South Kitsap’s 1,600-meter relay team did not hear the announcement, but they knew what was at stake.
As the public address announcer at Highclimber Stadium proclaimed, a victory in that event — the final race of Saturday’s 53rd Shelton Invitational — would give the Wolves their first boys team title since 2007.
It was an opportunity they were not about to squander.
South’s team of Adam Gascoyne, Zach Sleigh, Mason Villarma and LaForrest Church finished first in 3 minutes, 24.89 seconds to outlast Central Kitsap (3:27.96). That also proved to be the difference in the 52-team field as the Wolves edged the Cougars and Hoquiam — both schools were second with 44 points — with 49 points.
Church attributed the result to knowing they need to win the race to take first. He credited his teammates, each of whom had run at least one other race, for overcoming fatigue and the rainy conditions.
“We ran a spectacular race,” said Church, adding that the handoffs were stellar. “That’s the time we ran at state last year.”
Once Church crossed the finish line, South co-coaches Kathy Ballew and Paul Zimmer raced onto the track to embrace the runners.
“I just get fired up,” Zimmer said. “Those boys — they just did what they’re supposed to do. We always want to have excellence at the end.”
It was not the only event where the Wolves experienced that. Church won the 800 (1:59.2). South also picked up points in several other events, including the one-mile run where Church (4:35.16) and Villarma (4:35.16) finished fourth and fifth, respectively. And the Wolves added a couple of fifth-place finishes with Villarma (2:00.95) in the 800 and Gascoyne (50.96) in the 400.
South even accumulated points on the field side after recently struggling in those events. Sophomore Cole Sunkel was seventh in the javelin with a throw of 165 feet, 3 inches, while classmate Chandler VanAmen was eighth in the discus (124-04).
“Chandler VanAmen had a great day for the conditions,” Zimmer said. “He stepped up for us.
“We’re starting to ramp things up and get some good marks.”
“We’re really feeling comfortable and strong right now,” she said. “Meets like this really make them stronger and confident.”
South has one more regular-season meet Friday at Bellarmine Prep before it returns to Joe Knowles Stadium for the Class 4A Narrows League meet the following week. Church believes the 1,600-relay team’s performance foreshadows what is to come.
“It just shows that we have a legitimate chance to win the state title, as well,” he said.” It’s incredible.”

During yesterday’s School Improvment Plan meeting, a teacher was instructing us how to use a QR code she’d made for the children to scan into their devices before going to Today’s Meet to chat about what they’d learned.
“I should have saved my chalk holder and my chamois eraser,” I commented to my neighbor. Not that I could use them in today’s teaching world, but I could look at them fondly. I could hold them in my hand and remember the day when teaching rested on me, rather than machines, and creativity could abound. Even without codes and chat rooms.
In the afternoon I realized my National Board Teaching Certificate was about to expire. Flying into a panic, because I didn’t realize it would be obsolete June 1, I entered in all the Professional Development hours I’d accrued over the years on the Illinois State Board of Education website. It took several hours to type in the title of the course, the purpose code, the description, the number of hours it met. Until I’d reached a total of 60 hours.
“Thank you,” the system informed me. “Your certificate is now renewed for five years.”
Five years? I thought. In five years, I’ll be ought of here. And with that sentiment, with the rejoicing that sang through my heart, came a chord of sadness. Because it’s one thing to be current.
But, it’s totally another to be obsolete.

Working on Python for coding is always fun if you don’t get errors all the time you code, though errors can show up, which is normal. Beginners get more errors as they are learning a new language so that one day, they can become a professional. Sometimes, you found yourself in an error code that shows up as a warning like defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable.
When you get this error warning, it is not the end of your coding, you can always fix the issues as there is no such issue that can’t be solved. Let’s check out how to fix this error
How to Fix defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
There are a few reasons that can cause the error. Have a look at some issues and the best solutions
1. Check Multiple Python Versions
In the Linux system, you have Python by default and you have also installed a different version. In this case, you will get an error when you type the command pip install <package_name>. The main reason for defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable as you have multiple Python version installed. When you use pip/pip3, a package is tried to be added in the default version, which causes the error.
You need to specify the Python interpreter when installing the package that tries to run using the following command
# For Python 2 python -m pip install [package_name] # For Python 3 python3 -m pip install [package_name]
if you still encounter the error, you need to append the exact Python version installing the package.
#Using specific Python interpreter version python3.10 -m pip install [package_name]
2. Installing the virtual environment
Installing the virtual environment can solve the warning issue. This is one of the best solutions to fix the error. Follow the steps
- Install the virtual environment:
$ pip install virtualenv
- Check if the virtual environment is properly installed:
$ virtualenv –version
- Create the environment for the project:
$ virtualenv my_name
- The directory name will be the created my_name after running the command. This is where your Python packages installed.
- You just need to choose the Interpreter of Python you wish to have. It is useful if you have many Python versions are installed:
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 virtualenv_name
- The last step is to activate your virtual environment:
$ source virtualenv_name/bin/activate
3. Check Permission for “defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable” issue
In the case, you have multiple user accounts in Windows/ Linux or Mac, you need to make sure that Python is installed for all the users or the specific user. If the Python is accessible by a specific user, then you may get an error.
You need to verify if Python is installed for all the users or if you have permission to use it.
4. Reinstall python
If the above solutions don’t work, you can reinstall python
This is how you can get rid of defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable error.
Don’t forget to drop a message if it helps you!
