Nice to meet you. My name is Shun Suzuki !!
I am writing a blob about Honkaku(authentic) Shochu in Japan.
I decided to write English articles because I want foreign people to know Honkaku Shochu.
It is pleasant for general people and importers to read this and to have them understand even a little about things about Honkaku Shochu.
There are things I want to tell you variously, but first I write 5 things about Honkaku Shochu that I want you to know only this.
The raw material is sweet potato, wheat, rice, etc. They are called sweet potato shochu, wheat shochu, rice shochu respectively.
Rock, water splitting, soda cracking and drinking are various, but hot water split is the original culture.
Honkaku Shochu is a crystal of Japanese effort that has developed the technique of making koji mold, and each brewery combines spirit and technology inferior to any breweries and distillers in the world.
This blog has a translation system.
If you are interested please also read other content.
In addition, please do not hesitate to comment if you have any questions about authentic Shochu.
I will explain it carefully.

The team behind the Healthy Country Plan.
Wednesday the 28th of November was a proud moment for our Bunuba partnership. That evening we celebrated the launch of the Jalangurru Muwayi Bunuba Healthy Country Plan.
The plan has been developed over the past four years through collaboration between Bunuba people and partners such as Bush Heritage, Environs Kimberly and Parks and Wildlife.
Over the coming years this plan will guide the Bunuba rangers and the Bunuba people as they care for their country, progressively improving the health of eight identified targets. The launch of the Bunuba Healthy Country plan represents a significant step for the Bunuba partnership with Bush Heritage and a bright future for Bunuba people, culture and country.
The launch was held on the Wednesday evening at the old school in Fitzroy Crossing in the West Kimberly region of WA. The event was a great success, with compelling words from Traditional Owners and representatives of partnership organisations reflecting the collective pride and optimism held by all who have been involved in this project so far.
After the speeches the Bunuba Rangers fired up the barbeque and the documentary film about a famous Bunuba story; Jandamrra’s war was screened. With the Healthy Country plan in place, and a strong Ranger team with support staff from Bush Heritage and Parks and Wildlife, 2019 is full of promise for the Bunuba Partnership.

Air potato is an invasive plant species in Florida that should be removed from public and private properties to help protect the state's natural areas. It can quickly engulf native vegetation in natural areas, climbing high into mature tree canopies. It produces large numbers of bulbils (aerial tubers), which facilitate its spread and make it extremely difficult to eliminate because new plants sprout from even very small bulbils. It invades a variety of habitats including pinelands and hammocks of natural areas.

To a large extent, both options have some dependency on each other. A leader these days cannot command the power he needs without the presence of some political machine behind him. And that machine may well take fright and disown him if certain leadership decisions require too much of a sacrifice for its collective conscience or credibility to absorb.
The result in the end is often one of fudge and vacillation, politicians caught between a desire not to rock the boat, to continue on much the same path as before and a realisation that things need to change radically if any real or beneficial progress is ever to be made.
The tendency for politicians in these cases is to defer the matter, to ride out the storm in the hope that tomorrow will bring some distraction or relief and new vistas will open up or, better still, old ones close down.
One approach and quite possibly the best move for all concerned may be to outsource certain intractable problems, thereby allowing someone or something else to deal with them in a manner far more acceptable to the widest audience there is ever likely to be.
This is a call for everyone to become a leader and make the choices that only real leaders can handle. Or must it all be deferred yet again and left for another day, another year and, perhaps, another generation?

I have just received news from my husband that we will be spending the company summer outing at Subic, Zambales. Going to the beach is one summer activity that I totally dread. I am not so comfortable wearing swimsuits and expose my flabs! Because I have also started to accept the fact that this beach outing will be in April and I don't have enough time to lose more in such a short period of time, I started to take some emergency measures.
I remember an aunt of mine who looked slimmer and that her only secret was she only had turnips for dinner. I love turnips so much and I can eat them the whole day. I have started eating turnips not only for dinner but also for snack as well. Hopefully, with this new plan, I can finally stop taking the diet pill that eats so much of my personal budget.

In the past few years, much of the new releases from Avo Cigars have been built around the annual limited edition releases. However, it sometimes is easy to forget that Avo Cigars’ has a pretty solid core line. In this assessment we go back and explore one a cigar blend that has been a part of the Avo Cigars family for a long time. This cigar is known as the Avo XO. In particular we will take a look at the Avo XO Presto – a small panatela/corona size vitola. Overall, I found this small cigar to provide a nice smoking experience when you need a quick smoke without too much power.
One trend that I think will continue in 2012 is the push/return to many smaller sized cigars. While much of this had to do with providing short, quick smokes during the winter months, I also see this as a trend that will continue for the remainder of the year. In the case of the Avo XO Presto, this is a smaller size that has been around for some time. It fits the bill for short, quick smoke any time of the year, but probably best suited as a first smoke of the day.
The wrapper of the Avo XO Presto has a caramel/brown color to it. I would not categorize the wrapper as either oily or silky. For a small vitola, I was surprised that it was more on the smooth side and not very bumpy. There are also very few veins or visible wrapper seams.
The band is orange, black, gold, and ivory. It features the traditional Avo logo on an orange background. To the left and the right of that Avo logo is the text “Avo XO” in black font.
For my Avo XO Presto, I placed a straight cut into the cap. When I started with the pre-light draw I detected notes of cedar. The cedar notes had more of a sweet taste as opposed to a spice taste. I also detected some notes of caramel. I wondered if the power of suggestion was playing a role here on my pallet because I had been intrigued with the caramel colored wrapper. Overall, I thought the pre-light was satisfactory, so it was time to light up my Avo XO Presto and see what it would bring to the table.
Upon lighting my Avo XO Presto, I was treated to some more of the cedar sweetness I had detected on the pre-light draw. I also detected some secondary notes of nuts and cream. The cedar sweetness soon took on some spice qualities and became more of a “sweet spice”. The sweet spice, nut, and cream notes were pretty much the flavors that would be present from start to finish.
Toward the later part of the smoke, the Avo XO Presto’s spice seemed to overtake the sweetness as far as the sweet spice went. There was some spice as the cigar experience concluded, but it was not overwhelming. The resulting nub was soft to the touch, but cool in temperature.
From the standpoint of the construction attributes of burn and draw, the Avo XO Presto scored extremely well. The burn line was razor sharp from start to finish – requiring less than a handful of touch-ups with my butane lighter. The burn rate and burn temperature were ideal from start to finish. As for the draw, it scored perfectly – making the Avo XO Presto a great cigar to puff on.
In general, Avo Cigars are not going to overpower you with strength and body. With the case of the Avo XO Presto, this is not going to be a nicotine bomb. The Avo XO Presto is going to be a classic mild strength cigar. As for the depth of the flavor notes, this has just enough to be considered medium-bodied. The flavors are definitely going to have the edge when it comes to the balance of strength and body.
I believe the Avo XO Presto falls into the category of a quick, morning smoke. From this standpoint, this cigar succeeds in meeting its objectives. For a novice cigar enthusiast, this not only makes a good quick morning smoke, but it is a nice cigar to get someone started on. It provides a flavor without the strength – and doesn’t take a lot of time to smoke. Experienced cigar enthusiasts will probably only gravitate to this if they want that quick, morning smoke – and are fine without having the strength. While I prefer a little more strength, and more complexity, this cigar can do the job for me – and I would smoke it again.

When you have prospects of constructing a home, you have to think about the right person to do the job on your behalf. This is actually the most important step that you have to take considering the fact that it will determine whether your construction project would be a success or not. But, it is not always simple and straight forward to choose the right person to entrust the construction project with. You need to think long and hard before you can make such a decision. But, a building contractor worth hiring is supposed to be in possession of certain special attributes. Here is a look at each of the most notable attributes that every reliable building contractor is supposed to have.
When you are looking for a contractor to deal with your construction project, you have to look for one that has the capacity to hire workers that are highly qualified. This is important because it often has a huge bearing on the outcome of a project irrespective of how small or huge it may be. Most importantly, the quality of work that can be delivered by workers depends on how well they are trained. If the workers come from a reputable institution, they will undoubtedly deliver remarkable results. Based on this, you have to make sure you hire building contractors that have highly qualified workers. Try your best to search for building contractors that have a reputation of hiring workers who are highly trained or at least have enough experience to deal with any kind of building related project.
In almost all engineering projects, there is a working drawing which contains the details of the project. Engineers and the workers they are supervising are required to adhere to all the details of the project as depicted on the working drawing. In principle, the working drawing is the one which shows the technical details of the project. If this information is not interpreted corrected, the outcome of the project will be compromised. Put simply, the quality of the structure depends largely on how well the technical details of the working drawing are interpreted. It is for this reason that you have to try by all means to hire a construction company that can interpret working drawing correctly.
The time frame for completing a project matters a lot. It affects the cost as well as the quality of the project. For example, some tasks such as concrete curing and roofing are not supposed to be completed within a short time frame. Enough time must be given to allow the concrete to set prior to roofing.

When you want to start a building project, the first thing you have to do is to plan how you will successfully execute the project. Apart from mere planning, it is also vital to entrust the project with the right people. Otherwise, you will never be able to realize your goals. This applies to any construction project irrespective of the structure it involves. Therefore, it also applies when constructing a home. One of the most notable steps worth taking when constructing a house is to hire the Best builder in Oak Forest. This is very important as it is associated with many advantages as highlighted in the passage.
Of course this might sound ironic. A good number of householders are fully aware of how costly it can be to hire home builders. But, this is only true in certain cases and not in all cases. In general, you will actually be able to enjoy great savings. There are numerous reasons that may qualify this. One of the most notable reasons is the fact that home builders are able use building materials in their right proportions without excessive use. This can help you to minimize the cost of materials but still manage to complete your construction project.
Every construction project is associated with a plan. Even the most primitive construction projects are actually associated with mini sketches or scribbles for reference purposes. But, these plans have to be interpreted correctly in order to realize the desired structure. Otherwise, the quality of the structure may be compromised in a number of ways. In particular, the quality of the structure may be compromised structurally or aesthetically. Based on this, it is always a good idea to hire a Quality home builder in Oak Forest to help you execute the house construction project successfully and professionally.
Timely completion of construction projects is usually a serious issue. This is mainly because it affects the overall expenditure on the project. Further, it also affects the quality of the works. Therefore, it has to be taken seriously when executing any kind of construction project. If you choose to hire home builders, you will be able to complete your project within the right time frame without incurring any extra costs. This is because professional home builders are capable of using their professional project management skills to complete the project within the right time frame.
In as far as the construction of a house is concerned, the choice of materials is very important. This is because they affect the final outcome of any construction project. If the choice of materials is professional, the structure will be structurally stable and aesthetically sound at the same time.
Building a house or any structure from scratch can prove to be challenging. There are many factors that are worth taking into account before any structure can be erected. For example, you have to take into account the overall cost of the structure. You also have to make sure the plan of the structure is adhered to at all times. Otherwise, the elegance and even the overall stability of the structure may be compromised. In order to avoid such issues, you can do well to choose a builder that is worth hiring. Here is a look at some of the most notable attributes of a building contractor that is worth hiring.
The house plan determines the final outcome of a structure irrespective of how complex it may be. Put simply, the house plan determines what the house or structure will look like once it has been erected. Therefore, a contractor must be able to replicate the specifications of a building plan. This is the only way the final structure can be as close as possible to the initial architectural design.
Structures are quite numerous. There are houses, schools or even commercial warehouses among others. A good contractor is supposed to be able to build any kind of structure or anything that is commonly desired by clients. Try by all means to search for the Best builder in Oak Forest that has a reputation of pulling off any kind of project. This is the only way you can be sure to have your building project completed successfully irrespective of how complicated it may be.
Imagine starting a construction project that was supposed to finish after a few weeks but only finishing that project after several months have elapsed. Without any doubt, you will lose time and you’re your personal coffers will dwindle. You will be required to increase the amount of money set aside for the project. Failure to do this may jeopardize the progress of the entire project by a significant extent. Try by all means to search for an Oak Forest custom home builder that has the capacity to beat deadlines and save money.
One of the most important things worth bearing in mind is the track record of the contractor. This is mainly because it often has a huge impact on the quality of the contractor’s work. Based on this, you have to make sure you hire building contractors that have a good track record. It is one of the best ways to make sure the project is a success. Further, it is also one of the best ways to make sure the overall cost of the project is in line with what was set initially. This will help you to make sure that your expenditure remains within the confines of the budget and avoid debts.
A house is undoubtedly one of the most important personal possessions. It is an asset with a lot of significance in anyone’s life. But, building a house is not always as easy as it seems. A lot has to be taken into account prior to the onset of a house construction project. In particular, you have to sit down and plan the entire construction project. The most important thing is to find out how much money will be required to successfully erect your dream house. Since the project costs a lot of money, it has to be entrusted into the hands of the right people. It is advisable to hire reputable Quality home builder in Oak Forest to be the pioneers of your house construction project. Numerous advantages are associated with this as highlighted in the passage.
When you hire a home builder, you will undoubtedly be required to spend money on the services the builder will be offering. This often appears like a complete loss. But, this is not true. It is actually a way to save money. Although it sounds ironic, it is actually true. Here is a simple illustration to make this point clear. Imagine spending several years doing a construction project. No doubt, you will spend a lot of money on meeting the requirements of the project. But, the overall cost would be far much lower if your project lasted for a shorter period of time. Hiring professional Oakforest builders to do the building on your behalf is a good idea as it can help you to successfully save a lot of money. The builders will be using their exceptional experience and professionalism to complete the project within a short time frame. In the end, you will stand to gain.
When you are running a construction project, you will be required to always be checking the progress of the project on a frequent basis. If you are in full time employment or you have personal responsibilities to deal with, you will definitely find it hard to manage your life perfectly. The result, you will end up becoming overwhelmed by the pressure associated with running the project and dealing with your personal responsibilities.
Being in charge of a construction project can prove to be challenging or even frustrating. The headaches that come with it are often too overwhelming to handle. As a lay person, you may even fail to successfully handle the pressure that comes with being in charge of a construction project. Therefore, it is a good idea to always entrust such responsibilities into the hands of reliable home builders. This will save you from the headaches that come with running such projects.
When you are building a home, you will be required to follow a specific plan highlighting the technical details of the structure. As a lay person, you may find it hard to deal with such issues. But, professional construction companies will be able to successfully interpret the technical data associated with the house plan and deliver excellent results.

and sorry for posting in wrong thread. Of course whacked is a very good driver and not cheating.
Your post is in the wrong thread, use this one for TMF reports.
Login whacked is just a very good player, as far as I can tell.
Sigh... why didn't you provide those important details the first time?? In the future incomplete TM2 reports will simply be deleted.
That entry is obviously cheated, as are at least 7 others among his #1 entries. Banned and all top #30 entries deleted, thanks.
Validation replay of sufffatze2 is valid, replays of the others are not available.
Validation replay of deru (previously #9) crashed MP, I deleted that entry.
Dedi 1 here used speed hacks in the big drift on the right and maybe a bit at the end too. I know it's hard to see it but with some comparaisons that I did, his speed is obviously impossible to get.
Hopefully you can see something on the replay's data or something like that.
a couple of days ago I played on a server called Scoopy Canyon. There was a player with quit impossible CPs called scaredboy. I used the in game verification button with a result of false replay, expecting finish race or something similar. I reported it in game to nadeo. A friend of mine told me that I should also post it here in the forum.
You are still encouraged to report of course, but don't expect any quick answer from Xymph next days as he will be mostly unavaible few time.
In the event that I organize a player gets as many vreplay with invalid error: "expecting finished race".
Is this necessarily a cheater?
I checked his vreplay with his login on http://dedimania.net/tm2stats/?do=stat& … ow=RECORDS and vreplays are also invalid on other servers.
No, validation of replays depends somewhat on engine versions and block changes, and may give a false alert. This is one of the reasons I never set up an automatic nightly process to check validation replays uploaded to Dedimania2.
Could you tell me from his VR if that player is a cheater or not?
The dedi here is cheat imo. He turns on dirt as we can on road and on road his car turns better than the normal. Thanks in advance.
The dedi here is cheat imo. He turns on dirt as we can on road and on road his car turns better than the normal.
Agreed. Which other replays by login interdico have this too?
Be specific, or I'm not bothering. UId or tm2stats links.
For exemple for this map : rI0ka3ru30oS8mefngCJB9MgOr6 on TM2 stadium.
Obviously, when I just said that vreplays alone are not enough, the above entry doesn't help in any way.
You'll have to provide examples (preferably half a dozen or so, if it is to lead to a ban) for which a ghost replay is available, to check how the car behaves, such as this one.
Here are the replays that correspond to invalid validations. I am not an expert and therefore am remts to you to tell me if there is a problem. Knowing that for each replays, if faiy "validate" it says: Unable to validate incorrect simulation.
There are only 4 files validations recorded on the server, but I got 10 replays of the competition.
I checked the first half of the ghost replays, they look fine to me.
I don't have time to investigate TM2 cheating myself, so unless someone presents a thorough open-and-shut case that I can quickly verify, I will generally ignore further posts here.
7s-> 9s Landre is faster than Alig and yet between 9s-> 10 a more powerful racing acceleration of Alig before trumplin.
Wanting to compare with another player, this is what I found.
On this video: http://95.130.9.140/TM/Replays/Drif_Dir … t_dirt.mp4 a player (login bosswanted24 ) drift on the grass with the traces of drift road and the sound of drift road.
Upon further thought, I've decided to cease dealing with TM2 cheating altogether, for several reasons. Further posts in this topic will be ignored, at least by me.
Life moves on for me, and it will include (for the foreseeable future) dealing with TMF cheaters, but not TM2.
I found 2 other replays with the same cheating's codes.
I also checked a lot of his watchables runs and in general the maps have no dirt part to see this cheat. I think it's enough to ban him. If not enough, I would like a delete of his 3 replays at least, it's not fair to have impossible times to beat cause of that and it disturbs people. Finally, he cheated on TMNF so I don't see why he wouldn't on TM2, cheaters are always cheaters!
I read your last post, but please, we donated to you for your great work, it's unfair to keep cheaters on your nice work!

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has said an emotional farewell to his Manchester United teammates as he edges closer to an Old Trafford exit.
The Armenian is set to join Arsenal in a swap deal for Alexis Sanchez.
Mkhitaryan has been left out of United’s squad for their trip to Burnley on Saturday, and he was spotted leaving the club’s training ground earlier on Friday, reports The Daily Mail .
Chelsea target Edin Dzeko is reportedly happy to stay at Roma.
The former Manchester City striker has been linked with a return to the Premier League, but Dzeko’s agent has played down the link.
"Every time you talk about Dzeko, clubs like Chelsea, Chinese clubs, even Mexican clubs crop up.
"They're only rumours. The truth is that Dzeko wants to stay at Roma."
Midfielder Fernandinho has signed a new contract at Manchester City.
The Brazilian joined the club in 2013, and has played over 200 times for them, winning a Premier League title and League Cup in his first season.
The 32-year-old's contract extension will see him stay at the Etihad until 2020.

When it comes to keeping the cost of your kitchen renovation within your predetermined budget, there are a few steps you should take well before the first cabinet is emptied and taken off the wall.
Here is a practical guide to help youbuild the kitchen you envision.
1) Am I a handyperson?
This will determine how much help you will need from contractors.
2) How will I use this kitchen, what number of people do I expect to have in it, and how big do I need to build to accommodate for these factors?
3) Where is my kitchen located?
Kitchens that face to the east, west or south generally have a darker colour chosen. Those facing north are commonly painted lighter to make them appear larger.
With those questions answered you can start to look at planning. Having a firm plan established is the best way to keep your kitchen renovation cost within your budget.
1) Keep the sink and stove in their current location. Moving the drains and gas lines will be costly. A sink alone can be $2000, plus the cost of hardware and installation.
2) Plan your lighting well in advance, and bring in an electrician for assistance prior to the project.
3) Most reputable renovation companies will offer a free in-home consultation. Use this to your advantage and help determine costs with their assistance.
4) Your biggest expense will be new hardware. Fridges, stoves, dishwashers and other appliances will quickly eat up your budget. Shop carefully.
Having to change your plan after the work has started is one of the biggest cost increases during a kitchen renovation. Planning makes all the difference.

Makenna grabbed this shot, and I'm glad she did; folks have asked me about the Center Camp café many times. This is where you can buy various beverages, hot and cold. Proceeds go to a fund that benefits nearby desert communities (see Black Rock Solar for one example of how this money is spent).

These are all the available order types by default available using MetaTrader 5.
Below is a brief description of the order types and the order execution logic.
The MetaTrader 5 trading platform allows users to prepare and issue requests for the broker to execute trading operations. In addition, the platform allows to control and manage open positions. For these purposes, several types of trade orders are used. An order is an instruction of a client to conduct a trade operation. In the terminal, orders are divided into two main types: market and pending. Besides them there are "Stop Loss" and "Take Profit" orders.
A market order is an instruction given by client to buy or sell a financial instrument. Execution of this order results in committing a deal at the “market price”. The price at which the deal is conducted is determined by regulated exchange order matching algorithm. Once order is filled, the exchange will report this deal details, such as the fill price and quantity, back to the client via the MetaTrader 5 terminal.
Buy Limit— a trade request to buy at the Ask price that is equal to or less than that specified in the order. The current price level is higher than the value in the order.
Buy Stop— a trade order to buy at the "Ask" price equal to or greater than the one specified in the order. The current price level is lower than the value in the order.
Sell Limit— a trade order to sell at the "Bid" price equal to or greater than the one specified in the order. The current price level is lower than the value in the order.
Sell Stop— a trade order to sell at the "Bid" price equal to or less than the one specified in the order. The current price level is higher than the value in the order.
Buy Stop Limit— this type combines the two first types being a stop order for placing Buy Limit. As soon as the Ask price reaches the stop-level indicated in the order (the Price field), a Buy Limit order will be placed at the level, specified in Stop Limit price field. A stop level is set above the current Ask price, while Stop Limit price is set below the stop level.
Sell Stop Limit— this type is a stop order for placing Sell Limit. As soon as the future Bid price reaches the stop-level indicated in the order (the Price field), a Sell Limit order will be placed at the level, specified in Stop Limit price field. A stop level is set below the current Bid price, while Stop Limit price is set above the stop level.
All the above-mentioned orders are placed in MetaTrader 5 and are routed to the Exchange.
Because MetaTrader 5 has its own Server where it stores and processes orders, the orders of MetaTrader 5 are linked with the respectable Exchange order by a unique ID.
What this means for a trader? Using these simple, standard order types, they do not have to have their desktop terminals and mobile terminals constantly connected for the orders to be operational, all the calculations are taking part on the MetaTrader 5 and Exchange and are not affected by the terminals.
>> However, for advanced order types such as if you are using a Trading Robot or have setup Trailing Stops (Bracket Orders), your desktop terminal must remain connected to the MetaTrader 5 Server in order for those 2 functions to work, as they are operating only on the client side and NOT Server side.
For Exchange Contracts, Stop Loss and Take Profit orders are triggered according to the rules of the exchange where trading is performed. Usually this will be by Last price (price of the last performed transaction). In other words, a TP/SL order triggers when the Last price touches the specified TP/SL price.
However buying or selling as a result of the activation of a stop-order is always performed by the Bid and Ask prices during the activation of the Stop order, which may differ from the Price specified by the trader.
What this means for a trader? If you are working a Bracket Order <stop loss & take profit> orders, the take profit order is a MIT (Market Order if Touched) just like the Stop Loss order. Depending on the market conditions, since it is triggering a market order, there will be a difference between the final fill price and the take profit order price. At least 1 tick “slippage” due to the market order fill price of the next available Bid/Offer price.
Key Clarification >> If you work a Straight Limit Order (not connected to a Bracket Order or if you are using an automated trading strategy that uses straight limit orders) the order will work as a standard limit order (filling at your price or better).

There are a lot of things in life that we can’t agree on. Whether teh is best drank si or gao, or whether Chris Evans or Hemsworth is the hottest man alive (it’s a longstanding contention, really). But when it comes to #badgalriri, suddenly whoever your favourite Chris is doesn’t matter anymore. Consensus is: we all want to be Rihanna.
So with every new Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint drop, the HW Beauty Team eagerly awaits to review them (ala how-much-is-that-doggy-in-the-window style). We mean, apart from how creative the brand’s launches always are, what with the quirky names and colours – we are actually using the same product that RiRi sports. Talk about being ~best friends~!
"The unique cone-shaped packaging is pretty eye catching with its faceted clear base that lets you see the shade of the lippie. And for the product’s stellar performance, it’s definitely worth the price to me.
The first thing I noticed when I unscrewed the applicator and pulled it out is that it is shorter than most lippie wands. And when it touched my lip I realised the tip was also firmer. This is for good reason because this lip colour is really fluid so the short, firm applicator is best to give you more control to paint it on precisely. The colour is very vivid and dries to an ultra matte, uber chic finish that make lips look amazing. Moreover this bright pink hue, Unlocked, makes my complexion look fairer, it’s like a light bulb for my face."
"Just like all other Stunna Lip Paints, it has an ultra-thin texture that sets into a soft matte finish on my lips and feels like I'm not wearing any lip colour at all. It is also very long-lasting and can endure my sipping at my giant tumbler of water all day long. At first glance, the shade, Undefeated, is a deep aubergine shade - something I wouldn't have chosen for myself. But once I've applied it onto my lips, it really looks very flattering and the Stunna Lip Paint really does live up to its purpose of being universally flattering."
"I actively stay away from coral and orange-y toned lipsticks because they have the tendency to bring out the yellow in my skin, making me look a sallower than I actually am. (I am in fact very cool-toned.) So when the coral shade, Unattached, landed on my desk, I can't help but feel the same apprehension. Surprsingly though, the colour was a little more cool-toned than most corals, so that made it a little more forgiving on my skintone. I was also impressed with the formula of the lipstick - the ink-like texture was uber lightweight, yet had great colour payoff. It applied smoothly, evenly, with zero patchiness - a common occurrence with most corals.
Bright is an understatement too - Unattached looked borderline neon on me. The colour is still wearable though; I did get a couple of compliments in my Instagram DMs, which is nice."

I'd had this story in the back of my mind for ages. Didn't have the time to get it organized. Then my NaNo WIP crashed and burned (it just didn't ding my bell, but I will be re-attacking from another vector, the month isn't over yet!) and I was doodling, just to take my mind off that, and the first pages began to appear. So at least I did something this week.

Property developer Mike Hussey is to sue Marylebone Cricket Club following a row about the aborted redevelopment of Lord's cricket ground.
In the latest twist to the Lord's controversy, Mr Hussey's property company Almacantar said in a statement on Thursday night that its lawyers, Berwin Leighton Paisner, have issued a "formal letter before claim" to the MCC to "recover the abortive costs in connection with the 'Vision for Lord's'".
Almacantar was hired by the MCC, owners of Lord's, to redevelop the site and has not been paid for drawing up plans for the £400m project.
The company is thought to have spent around £750,000 on the Lord's project, which was controversially thrown out by the MCC last year after months of planning.
An MCC spokesman said: "Our position has not changed. We have not seen any evidence that suggests these payments were authorised."
Members of the MCC committee thought the project, which included luxury apartment blocks behind the Nursery End of the cricket ground, was too risky given the economic climate. The sale of the residential development would have funded the expansion of the cricket ground from 29,000 to 37,000 seats.
However, scrapping the project sparked a huge row among committee members and the resignation of former prime minister Sir John Major.
Almacantar, which is financed by the Italian Agnelli family, is now drawing up proposals with the neighbouring Wellington Hospital to develop the land around Lord's. The hospital is proposing to build a 100,000 sq ft children's hospital, sports clinic, museum and a corporate entertainment venue for Lord's on the site.

Carib, Island Carib, or Kalinago people, after whom the Caribbean Sea was named, live in the Lesser Antilles islands. They are one of the two main tribes of Amerindian people who inhabited the Caribbean at the time of Christopher Columbus' discovery of the New World, the other being the Taino (also known as the Arawak).
Like most of the indigenous peoples of the New World, the Carib suffered greatly from European Colonization of the Americas European conquest, and their descendants are now scattered throughout the Caribbean and South America, with the largest group living on the island of Dominica where the British established a reservation for them.
Often the Carib are remembered for being ferocious warriors and for cannibalistic customs. Although it may be true that they were warlike, fighting and displacing other tribes such as the Taino, they have often been maligned by exaggerated early European propaganda that over-looked their many accomplishments and skills, such as sailing, navigation, and basket weaving. Today, Carib make effort to preserve their culture and educate their children and others about their traditions, maintaining their identity while at the same time being part of the contemporary society.
Although the precise time frame remains unknown, it is generally believed that the Taino were the first group to migrate from the Orinoco river area in South America to the islands of the Caribbean, sometime around 500 B.C.E. The Carib followed soon afterward, invading many areas the inhabited by the Taino, killing and subjugating their predecessors. By 1400 C.E., the Carib controlled most of the West Antilles and areas of the cost of Venezuela. After years of hostility, the two tribes settled into a general peace and cooperation, trading amongst each other and in some areas, such as the island now known as Dominica, the two cultures blended together.
In 1493, during his second voyage to the New World, Christopher Columbus landed on the island the Carib had named Waitukubuli, which translates as "Tall is her beauty." Columbus renamed the island "Dominica," from the Latin Domingo, which means "Sunday." Columbus' first encounter with the Carib was marked by the natives' hostility towards the Europeans. Whereas history records Columbus was welcomed and made quick connections with the Tainos he encountered, Columbus and the Carib were almost immediately at odds with one another. After a few small but fierce skirmishes, Columbus and his men withdrew from the island of Dominica. Columbus named these natives Caniba, after the land other tribes referred to as Caritaba, where fierce cannibal warriors lived. Eventually the Caribs warmed to the Europeans and trade developed. However, further European conquest soon proved the disastrous for the them.
The 1635 invasion and seizure by the French military of the island of Martinique, which lies southeast of Dominica and was also populated by Caribs, made it part of the French colonial empire. Using their overwhelming military superiority, the French forces of Pierre Belain d'Esnambuc subjugated the indigenous Carib peoples to French colonial rule. Through Cardinal Richelieu, France gave the island to the Company of the American Islands (Compagnie des Isles d'Amerique). French Law was imposed on the conquered inhabitants and the Jesuits arrived to convert them to the Roman Catholic Church. When the Caribs could not be sufficiently induced to supply labor for building and maintaining the sugar and cocoa plantations the Company desired, in 1636 King Louis XIII authorized the abduction of slaves from Africa for transportation to Martinique and other parts of the French West Indies. The Caribs revolted against French rule and under Governor Charles Houel sieur de Petit Pré the "Carib Expulsion" was launched against them in 1660. Many were slaughtered; those who survived were taken captive and expelled from the island, never to return.
By the eighteenth century the British Empire had moved in and begun to threaten the French and Spanish colonies. In 1763 the British captured the island of Dominica and forced the Carib onto a reserve of 232 acres (94 ha), while the British took control of the rest of the island and consumed its natural wealth and resources. The Carib on Dominica, although confined to a small part of the island, fared better than other tribes on other islands.
In 1796, the British Empire took control of large parts of the Caribbean. The population of Saint Vincent, known as the "Black Carib" because a slave ship had wrecked on the island in the seventeenth century and surviving African slaves had intermarried with the Carib Indians, were relocated to an island off the coast of Honduras where they suffered from disease and maltreatment. However, enough were able to make it off the island and survive in small numbers in Central America. Across the rest of the Caribbean, the Carib and other indigenous tribes were decimated in numbers by the European suppression, disease, and the Inquisition. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Carib existed primarily on the reserve in Dominica with a few groups scattered in Central America.

Much of the historical narrative of the Carib culture has focused upon their aggressive and war-like characteristics. The Taino's experiences of fighting and being conquered by the Carib influenced Columbus' account of the Carib tribes. In fact, it was Columbus' second hand knowledge and limited personal contact with the Carib that led to the creation of the word cannibal. The English word "cannibal" originated from the Carib word karibna ("person"), as recorded by Columbus as a name for the Caribs.
The existence of cannibalism has been challenged by some anthropologists as well as contemporary Carib. However, there is significant historic evidence that instances of cannibalism were spiritual acts connected to deeply held war rituals; purportedly, male warriors would eat small amounts of the flesh of their enemies so as to assume their characteristics. This ritual eating of human flesh took place before a raiding expedition or during initiation, when it was hoped young men would inherit the bravery of a distinguished warrior. More commonly though, the Carib would collect the limbs of victims as trophies, and had a tradition of keeping the bones of their ancestors in their houses. The belief that the physical remains of the dead could be used to harvest some residual power of the living was central to Carib spirituality.

Because of a possible shared ancestry and years of assimilation, the Caribs shared many cultural similarities with the Tainos. Both are generally thought to have been polytheists, who believed in nature spirits and practiced forms of shamanism. The Carib believed in an evil spirit called Maybouya who had to be placated in order to avoid harm. The chief function of their shamans was to heal the sick with herbs and to cast spells which would keep Maybouya at bay. The shamans underwent special training instead of becoming warriors. As they were held to be the only people who could avert evil, they were treated with great respect. Their ceremonies were accompanied with sacrifices. As with the Taino, tobacco played a large part in these religious rites.
The fact they were able to migrate from the continent to various islands in the Caribbean, as well as conquer already populated islands are testaments both to their skills as navigators and boat builders. The Carib were also skilled at basket weaving and pottery. The tribes subsisted on fishing and small scale farming.
The social structure of Carib tribes were mostly patriarchal. The men trained as warriors, traveling by canoe on raiding parties. Women primarily carried out domestic duties and farming, and often lived in separate houses from the men. However, women were highly revered and held substantial socio-political power. The Caribs usually lived in small groups, but these groups were often not exclusive from one another.
After successfully conquering parts of the Caribbean, the Carib language quickly died out while the Arawakan language was maintained over the generations. This was the result of the invading Carib men usually killing the local men of the islands they conquered and taking Arawak wives who then passed on their own language to the children. For a time, Arawak was spoken primarily or exclusively by women and children, while adult men spoke Carib. Eventually, as the first generation of Carib-Arawak children reached adulthood, the more familiar Arawak became the only language used in the small island societies. This language was called Island Carib, even though it is not part of the Carib linguistic family. It is now extinct, but was spoken on the Lesser Antilles until the 1920s (primarily in Dominica, Saint Vincent, and Trinidad).

Today, small pockets of ethnic Carib communities are scattered throughout the Caribbean and South America, in such places as Trinidad, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana and Suriname. The largest community lives on the island of Dominica, in the original reservation established for the Carib by the British in the eighteenth century. An estimated community of 3,400 people live in this reservation. This community elects their own Chiefs who serve for four years at a time, and officials who represent the Carib in the Dominica government. These communities have made efforts to keep their historical traditions and culture alive, partially for preservation but also for economic reasons, as the Carib territories are marketed as tourist attractions where visitors can view cultural acts such as dance as well as purchase authentic crafts and artwork. The Carib community has established the Karifuna Cultural Group which works to preserve their culture and to support education about Carib history and tradition.

The Santa Rosa Carib Community (SRCC) is the major organization of indigenous people in Trinidad and Tobago. The Caribs of Arima are descended from the original Amerindian inhabitants of Trinidad; Amerindians from the former encomiendas of Tacarigua and Arauca (Arouca) were resettled to Arima between 1784 and 1786. The SRCC was incorporated in 1973 to preserve the culture of the Caribs of Arima and maintain their role in the annual Santa Rosa Festival (dedicated to Santa Rosa de Lima, the first Catholic saint canonized in the New World).
Today, the Garinagu (singular: Garifuna), descendants of Carib, Arawak, and African people referred to by the British colonial administration as "Black Carib" live primarily in Central America. They live along the Caribbean Coast in Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras, and on the island of Roatán. There are also diaspora communities of Garinagu in the United States, particularly in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and other major cities.

NOTES: Disguised by a warehouse façade and hidden away incognito in San Francisco’s SoMa district, the brainchild studio of a “who’s who” producer collective of Bay Area musical movers and shakers (a.k.a. Talking House Studios) lies in wait to facilitate the sonic shaping of the next great project. Yes, Talking House was designed and built by famed architect John Storyk and the Walters-Storyk Design Group. Yes, it clocks in at nearly 9,000 sq. ft. And yes, that SSL 9000 K was pulled from the now tragically deceased Hit Factory in New York City.
No, building and operating a studio of this scope is not an exercise in futility in this day and age. Don’t believe us? Just ask any of the many artists/groups that have been given the Talking House treatment. From The Trophy Fire to A Band Called Pain, all will attest that the Talking House team has aided them in making public their works, not just by merely tracking, mixing, or mastering their albums, but by functioning as a production company in the truest sense of the word(s) — offering comprehensive services that span from project development to marketing of the final products.
But enough of all that; what really floats our boat isn’t the forward-thinking approach to studio ownership (as much as we do applaud it) but, rather, the godly gear housed with the walls. From the Klaus Heyne Edition Brauner VM1 to the EMT plate reverb (upgraded by Martech, of course); from the Ampex and Studer tape machines to the vintage array of backline equipment (Juno-6s, DC-7s, and AC30s oh my!), Talking House truly has some of the tightest in-house gear in the Bay Area and beyond. Seriously, take a look at that gear list and then try to convince us you don’t want to freelance a session in Talking House.

Ignoring the answers and creating a new topic is what I would call pretty rude.
HAHA, WTF ! Anyway, typo fixed. Thanks AzKay.
in the helpfile there is an example which does 99,9% of what you want.
Would, it be possible to, atleast try to type with, atleast some good spelling/grammar. It might help if you have any problems in the future, especially if its big problems, I might not be the only one here not able to read a few paragraphs of that typing.
btw y would u wanna save txt files in the system32 folder?
I can read it and uderstand it. Everything is fine now.
But, just a tip, the more you spell properly, the more youll get used to it. I used to type like you, then I decided to try using proper spelling, then I tryed to get used to typing with grammar, and since a few months back, I started to make myself use punctuation. Now, Im alot easier to understand.

A senior member of the Congolese cabinet was attacked in London by a gang who beat him around the head and body with a baseball bat, stripped him and posted pictures of his clothes on the internet.
Scotland Yard last night launched an investigation into the assault on Leonard She Okitundu, the chief of staff to Joseph Kabila, the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, amid questions over why a foreign dignitary should be so vulnerable. The politician was left in the A&E of the Middlesex Central hospital with no trousers, covered in a blanket. "The police didn't seem to care. No one helped me and I was naked, that would never happen in my country," he said.
"I wasn't seen by a nurse for two hours and not by a doctor until 2am. I explained that I was a VIP ... but no one cared to give me a pair of trousers. The Foreign Office have done nothing to help me."
Mr Okitundu believes the humiliation was orchestrated by Mr Kabila's enemies in London. He was due to appear on the Original Black Entertainment TV channel when he and two colleagues were assaulted by more than 20 men outside its studios in Park Royal, north west London.
His clothes were forcibly removed and his briefcase, containing passport, money and credit cards, as well as official papers, were stolen. His attackers posted pictures of Mr Okitundu's monogrammed suit, his Mont Blanc pen and the business cards of the MPs and officials that he had met that day, as well as condoms that were in his pocket. His underpants were captured on a cameraphone turned inside out.
Mr Okitundu told the Guardian: "I left the Foreign Office and went to the television station and the people were waiting for us in the car park. I didn't even have time to open the door of the car before people attacked me with baseball bats.
"They pulled me out of the car to beat and kick me. They took my jacket and my trousers, my shirt and my pants. Then they dragged me and left me lying naked."
A Foreign Office spokesman said President Kabila was informed of the incident by British diplomats in DRC. "We were on the phone very quickly and explained what happened." He added that the FCO could have arranged for security to accompany Mr Okitundu's party but were never asked.
Mr Okitundu went to hospital with the two other victims, former ambassador Henri Nswana and his party's UK chairman, Placide Mbatika. He was in London visiting the all-parliamentary group of the Great Lakes Region of Africa as well as the Foreign Office.
He had been discussing the recent elections in the DRC in which President Kabila won 45% and his rival, the former rebel leader, Jean-Pierre Bemba, polled just 20%. The two are due to face each other again in another presidential election on October 29. Mr Bemba's supporters accuse Mr Kabila of being a puppet of the west and other foreign agencies. The majority of Congolese expatriates in London support Mr Bemba. Albert Mukendi of the group Congolese Rights said the attack and humiliation of Mr Okitundu was "a very bad thing". But he added: "People are not happy about him being here. Many Congolese here do not like Kabila."
Philippe Mandangi, a London spokesman for the opposition UDPS party said: "The situation is very tense here in the UK and people are very angry."
Mr Okitundu said his attackers shouted that he was working for the Rwandans and that they would kill anybody who obstructed Mr Bemba. "This is part of their campaign to sabotage President Kabila's presidential campaign. To my knowledge, these people didn't act of their own will. They have been told to do it."
A spokeswoman for the Central Middlesex Hospital said Mr Okitundu was "treated appropriately in a consulting room".
Eric Joyce, chair of the all-parliamentary group, met Mr Okitundu on Wednesday. He said: "It is shocking. I presume it was the diaspora who are loyal to Bemba."
The DRC gained its independence in 1960. In 1965 Mobuto seized power and renamed it Zaire. He ensured US backing by allowing the country to host operations against Soviet-backed Angola. Rwanda invaded in 1997 in pursuit of the Hutu militias who had led the horrendous massacres against their Tutsi rivals. Emboldened by the invasion anti-Mobutu rebels marched on the capital, Kinshasa, and installed President Laurent Kabila. He was assassinated in 2001 and his 30-year-old son, Africa's youngest head of state.

It’s been a while since I last wrote, I’m feeling quite sad about it. But the reality is that the new school year comes with so much work that I barely have time to do anything else.
But today is Mid Autumn Festival. I thought I should take some time to celebrate. So with a hot cup of tea sitting on the table beside my notebook, I made a drawing.
Because of class schedule I’m not able to go home for a family gathering today. But as I was drawing I thought about how part of the tradition of the Mid‐Autumn Festival reminds us that (at least how I understand it) even if we can’t physically be together with our loved ones, we know that on this day, when the moon is the fullest and brightest, we are all gazing at and appreciating the same moon as our loved ones over the mountains and across the seas.
Wishing you a splendid, blessed fall season of harvest.
I had never heard of the mid‐autumn festival, but I really like the idea of it and thinking of our loved ones. The moon was so beautiful last night that it made me stop and appreciate my world a little more. Sometimes I am too busy in my head to enjoy my surroundings.
I’m glad you took the time to do this drawing; it’s beautiful!
Great drawing! Thanks for sharing!

Since agriculture directly contributes to global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, integrating trees into agricultural landscapes through agroforestry systems is a viable adaptive strategy for climate change mitigation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the carbon (C) sequestration and financial benefits of C sequestration according to Quebec's Cap-and-Trade System for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Allowances (C & T System) or the Système de plafonnement et d'échange de droits d'émission de gaz à effet de serre du Québec (SPEDE) program for two experimental 10-year-old tree-based intercropping (TBI) systems in southern Quebec, Canada. We estimated total C stored in the two TBI systems with hybrid poplar and hardwoods and adjacent non-TBI systems under agricultural production, considering soil, crop and crop roots, litterfall, tree and tree roots as C stocks. The C sequestration of the TBI and adjacent non-TBI systems were compared and the market value of the C payment was evaluated using the net present value (NPV) approach. The TBI systems had 33% to 36% more C storage than adjacent non-TBI systems. The financial benefits of C sequestration after 10 years of TBI practices amounted to of $2,259-$2,758 CAD ha-1 and $1,568-$1,913 CAD ha-1 for St. Edouard and St. Paulin sites, respectively. We conclude that valorizing the C sequestration of TBI systems could be an incentive to promote the establishment of TBI for the purpose of GHG mitigation in Quebec, Canada. © 2016 by the authors.

Fun dolphin panel! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly goal and good luck with your project.
Weaving was my first fibre love as well although I don't have time for it these days.
Hi Lisa, it's been a very long time since I wove but I really hope to incorporate weaving into my fibre art - when I retire. That could be lots of fun.
Oh, I love the Art with Fabric blog hop! Guess where I'm browsing to next.... Thanks for linking up to What I Made Monday!
Thanks Becca! It's one of my favourite events of the year!
Fascinated to see your weaving. Of course I need another hobby like a hole in the head, so I am not looking too hard! :) It is a lovely piece though.
Thanks Dione. Weaving was my first love and at the time I didn't think that I could love to do something more...and them came quilting! I do want to go back to weaving to make fibre art pieces one day.

I'm writing now from the flat, rainy port city of Hamburg, up near the Danish border. But last weekend I was in the extreme opposite end of the country (both geographically and in other senses): Alpine Berchtesgaden.
It wasn't a planned trip. I woke up early Saturday morning, fully dressed and on a couch that wasn't my own. The night before my friends had hosted a cookout party that had turned into a impromptu sleepover, the end of which I couldn't exactly remember. I was the first person up and all I wanted to do was go home, take a shower, and sleep my headache away in my own bed. I tiptoed around the other partygoers, cleaned up some, left a note, then drove myself home. Shower accomplished I lay down in bed ready to conk out...but it wouldn't take. There was no way I was going to fall back to sleep. I looked at the time: not even 9am on a Saturday morning. The whole weekend was still ahead of me.
Now, often enough after that kind of a Friday night I'm more than happy to spend the rest of the weekend relaxing at home, eating take-out food and watching TV. But I'm still new enough in Germany to feel guilty about wasting a whole weekend like that, aside from which I needed some kind of greater remedy than a quiet weekend at home would afford.
I'm not by nature the most out-doorsy of guys, usually preferring the city life with at most a few natural elements thrown in. (Munich's Englischer Gartens are the perfect thing of that sort, to my tastes.) But as I lay in bed staring at the ceiling the thought occurred to me that nature - big, clean, and pure nature - might be just the thing to cure what ailed me.
And when you live in Bavaria, there's nothing bigger, cleaner, or purer than the Alps. Of course! To my shame I hadn't been once since I moved to Germany. It was about time to rectify that.
And that's all there was to it. I threw a change of clothes in a backpack, grabbed a big bottle of water, locked my apartment, headed back down to my car, and set the GPS for Berchtesgaden.
A couple hours later the mountain peaks started coming into view, looming and obviously huge, especially when my GPS told me I still had almost an hour to go before I arrived. (I should mention that unlike Cara I live in northern Bavaria, so for all the Müchners out there it's an even faster trip.) Almost instinctively I started whistling songs from The Sound of Music. I was feeling better already.
I was nearly done with the whole score when I pulled up to the Hotel zum Türken, which I'd read online was a classic prewar hotel of its sort, and which is located halfway up the mountain just outside Berchtesgaden proper. I had blithely set out with no reservation and was slightly worried when I tried the front door and found it was locked tight. But the sign said to ring the doorbell, and when I did a trim, middle-aged woman promptly appeared. In my best German I asked if she had a free room, preferably an Einzelzimmer ohne Bad, a single room with a shared bathroom on the hallway, which I'd read was the cheapest option. She did, and as she led me to it she informed me that she had just opened for the season, and that I was one of only four gentlemen in the hotel.
She handed me a heavy, old-fashioned key (again:classic pre-war hotel; none of this magnetic key card nonsense), then left me alone. Once she was gone I dropped my bag then stepped out onto the little balcony connected to my room. It looked directly out at the mountain rising steeply above me. White clouds drifted slowly over the green, craggy landscape, and there was nothing to be heard but the soft blowing of the wind and the chirping, trilling song of what must have been scores of unseen birds. I took a deep breath of clean mountain air. My head felt wonderful, I was happy, and all I could think was, God, I love Germany!
Berchtesgaden is in the extreme southeast of Germany, in a little peninsula of mountainous land almost completely surrounded by Austria. The town itself is not big; when I headed down the steep mountainside from my hotel later that evening I was able to walk the length and breadth of it in just an hour or so. But of course the town itself is mostly beside the point: the starring attractions here are the natural beauties, and they are simply everywhere.
The mountains are omnipresent. I’ve heard a theory that the reason people like being near the ocean is because the sound of the waves brings up subconscious memories of the sounds one hears in the womb. Who knows if that’s true, and even if it is I’ve never heard any comparable Freudian theory as to why people enjoy being on or near mountains. But there you have it – it’s just fascinating, and relaxing, and somehow even enriching to be in that environment. Maybe it has something to do with the altitude.
I hadn’t brought hiking shoes (I don’t own any), but I was able to get a close-encounter with the mountains via a ride up the Jennerbahn, which I highly recommend. This is a ski lift directly up the side of the mountain that in 20 minutes brought me from a sunny and unusually warm April day down in the valley to the top of the mountain and what may as well have been early January. On the patio outside the little café and gift shop a father was pelting his teenage daughter with snowballs.
From the base of the Jennerbahn it is only a 10 or 15 minute walk to the Koenigsee, an incredible lake surrounded by mountains on all sides. There are ferry trips across the lake which stop at picturesque monasteries, though I decided to save that for next time.
There is one other element to Berchtesgaden that can’t go unmentioned: the association with the Third Reich. Yes, Kehlsteinhaus (usually known in English as the Eagle’s Nest) was Hitler’s retreat, and is located just above the town. This has become a major tourist attraction in its own right, and though it was still closed for the season I did visit the nearby Documentation Obersalzberg, a sleek new museum that exposes the region’s Nazi past and the progression of WWII in general.
I don’t know if I’d recommend it. It’s sobering and serious and the information it covers is important, but I’ve been in at least a half dozen museums in Germany that cover the same material in very similar ways. There are better places to think about that period (i.e. Nuremberg), or maybe just better frames of mind than what I was willing to let myself get into at that moment.
There was also a personal bias: at the end of the exhibition there was a brief display on what had happened in the area since 1945. One item was a sign decorated with an American flag that pointed the way to the “General Walker Hotel.” This, the caption said, was a resort that the US military had used until handing it back over to the German government in the mid-90s. It was a beautiful pre-war complex which had interesting historical associations, and I had stayed there myself several times as a kid and had fond memories of it.
I decided to ask where it was – my whole time in Berchtesgaden I’d kept wondering when I would stumble across it. “The General Walker?” the woman at the information desk said. “It used to be over there!” She pointed directly out the window at…the parking lot. Yep, they tore down a building full of interesting WWII-era history, and built in its place a completely nondescript museum dedicated to…WWII history. So yes: I’d say skip it.
All that aside, Berchtesgaden was wonderful and well worth the trip. Cara, I have never been to Alaska, but it has a lot to live up to! Thanks for letting me guest post on your blog, and have a wonderful time on your trip!
P.S. - I did not have the foresight while there to take many pictures but here are some of a waterfall just over on the Austrian side of the border. Enjoy!

There is no other convoluted Teflon ® on the market the way Hydraflow makes the HS96. This special method of construction allows a far larger fitting orifice and far less turbulence than laminated assemblies. Flexibility is also much improved from the standard convoluted designs. The HS96 is preferred for liquid cooled moving optical or array heads because of its light weight and its extreme flexibility. This flexibility minimizes transfer of bending loads to gimbaled platforms.
This hose is the choice for very tough applications because it is constructed of all non-life limited materials that are also impervious to most media and environments.
Non-conductive versions are available as series HS95.
Hose may be capable of higher pressure ratings. Contact factory.

Sales of poinsettias and Christmas wreaths were as brisk as the chill in the air last weekend at the 12th annual Oak Brook Jaycees Poinsettia Plant Sale held at Bronswood Cemetery Greenhouse in Oak Brook.
The spirit of giving during the holidays was evident as Jaycee members donated their free time to coordinate the two-day plant sale.
An estimated $12,000 was raised by the event, which gets bigger every year, chapter members said, and will go toward funding the Jaycees` Camp New Hope for disabled children and other Jaycee-related charities. Past charitable outreach includes aiding Elmhurst flood victims in August, 1987.
Mary Beth Bornhofen, co-chairwoman of the plant sale, said, ''I`ve always been interested in helping people out and this is a way that I can do that.'' Phil Clarke, part-owner of the family-run Bronswood Cemetery and Greenhouse, helped coordinate use of the greenhouse as well as arranged for the Jaycess to purchase the plants wholesale.

Third year head coach Kanae Haneishi guided the Mount Holyoke soccer team to an overall record of 4-12-1 in 2009. The Lyons made their second straight appearance in the NEWMAC Tournament after posting a league mark of 3-5-1. They fell 3-1 to top seeded Wellesley College in the Quarterfinal Round.
Mount Holyoke was paced by forward Lauren Orr, who was named to the NEWMAC All-Conference Second Team after racking up 11 points on four goals and three assists. Two of her tallies went down as match winners. Orr erupted for two goals and one assist in her team's 9-2 triumph over the Coast Guard Academy. The Lyons nine goals in the contest were their most since the 1984 season, when they blanked Colby-Sawyer College 11-0. Orr also knocked in the winner in her team's 2-0 triumph over Springfield College. At the conclusion of the spring, Orr was selected to receive Mount Holyoke's Alumnae Association Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award.
Joining Orr on the NEWMAC All-Conference Second Team were senior defender Terry Orr and first year goalkeeper Ingibjörg Magnúsdóttir.
Terry Orr anchored a Lyons defensive unit that surrendered just 15 goals during league play. Mount Holyoke was at its best over the final two weeks of the regular season, when it posted a 3-1-1 mark to cement its spot in the NEWMAC Tournament. Led by Orr, the Lyons allowed just five goals during that span.
Magnúsdóttir made an immediate impact on the program after joining the squad from Iceland. She posted a goals against average of 1.90, a save percentage of .763 and three shutouts. Magnúsdóttir recorded shutouts in upset victories over Springfield (2-0) and Clark University (1-0). In addition, she recorded a season best 12 saves in the Lyons 1-1 tie with eventual NEWMAC Tournament Champion MIT.
Mount Holyoke also received solid production from midfielders Mary Cooke, Jesse Sugrue and Perry Markell. Cooke netted a team best five goals to go with one assist. Meanwhile, Sugrue and Markell chipped in with two goals and three assists apiece.
The Lyons picked up a 2-1 triumph over Lesley University in non-conference play. Sophomore forward Courtney Carrier knocked in the match winner in the 83rd minute.

For more than 20 years, the Honda CR-V has been synonymous with efficiency and reliability for Canadian motorists. And this year, Honda raises the bar once again with its brand new, completely redesigned Honda CR-V.
From one bumper to the other, the 2017 Honda CR-V offers more features, technology, performance, versatility, and comfort than ever before while also being affordable and of course, incredibly reliable. In addition, the CR-V offers a completely redesigned body that is more muscular and chiseled that gives it a much stronger presence on the road while also being elegant and refined. Can you really ask for more?
Under its hood, the Honda CR-V now houses a four-cylinder, turbocharged, 1.5-liter engine that is both more powerful and more fuel-efficient than the previous-generation’s engine.
The Honda CR-V, which now features 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of horsepower, stands out with a fuel consumption rating of just 8.4 l/100 km in the city and 7.0 l/100 km on the highway. Even with all-wheel drive, available as standard on almost every version, fuel consumption remains very frugal at 8.7 l/100 km in the city and 7.2 l/100 km on the highway.
Available in four versions (LX, EX, EX-L and Touring), the 2017 Honda CR-V uses the same mechanics and the same continuously variable automatic transmission in every model. That means that even with the base CR-V starting at just $ 26,890, you can enjoy the CR-V’s impressive efficiency.
Inside, the Honda CR-V adopts a new, more ergonomic dashboard and remains one of the leaders in its class in terms of cargo capacity and overall interior space.
At Portland Street Honda, nothing is more important than the safety of our customers. And with the Honda Sensing technology package, the 2017 Honda CR-V ensures that you are always safe out on the road.
By integrating driver assistance technologies such as front-end collision warning, collision mitigating braking, lane departure warning and prevention, and adaptive cruise control, the Honda CR-V does not only warns you of a possible accident, it can also help you avoid it.
For more details on the new 2017 Honda CR-V, please visit us at Portland Street Honda. We are waiting for you!

Failure to photograph a receipt costs Ollie dearly when its absence means he can’t claim back the spend when he has to file an expenses claim.
“No, that’s not it,” said Ollie, picking up a piece of paper and putting it down again. He wandered distractedly around the office doing the same thing with document after document, before repeating the process with the contents first of his briefcase, and then his wallet.
Bill waved his arms above his head. “Coo-ee, here I am,” he said.
Ollie was downcast. “To be honest, you’re not really helping,” he told his friend.
“I don’t suppose you could lend me a bit of money until payday?” Ollie asked.

Abigail Adams was born on November 22, 1744. Abigail Adams's horoscope sun sign is Scorpio and Chinese zodiac sign is Rat. Abigail Adams was famous for Wife of President John Adams, mother of John Q. Adams.
The name Abigail was originated from Hebrew. It is used as a female name. The name Abigail is of the meaning of Father in rejoicing. The name Abigail is used in English and Hebrew speaking countries. Abigail was an Old Testament character who saved her negligent husband from the wrath of King David. After her husband's death, she later married David. David's sister was also named Abigail.
Abigail was quite commonly used in English-speaking communities from the late seventeenth century on, particularly in the American colonies. It fell into disuse in the early twentieth century, but is now among the most popular names for girls in the U.S., UK, and Australia.
The name Abigail is sometimes cited as meaning "servant," but there is no etymological basis for this definition.
Famous Abigails in literature include the daughter of Barabas in Marlowe's "The Jew of Malta" and the manipulative Abigail Williams in Miller's "The Crucible."
Famous bearers of this name include U.S. First Lady Abigail Adams, Canadian athlete Abigail Hoffman, and British artist Abigail Lane. .

Use the suggestions and links below to get on the river by foot, boat, or bike.
Remember, while out on our river always wear a life jacket (It's the law) and dress for the weather. The river can be unexpectedly cold in summer below Sullivan Road due to aquifer input and contains extremely fast flowing in spring and early summer.
Portions of the Spokane River provide a great boating experience.
By Boat: Float from Water Street to TJ Meenach Bridge on raft, kayak, or tube. Shuttle your car to the TJ Meenach parking lot, where you will exit the river. Launch your craft, or other boat capable of handling class I-II rapids, at the Water Street launch in Peaceful Valley (just west of downtown Spokane). If tubing, wait until water levels drop below about 2,000 cfs (at higher water levels "sweepers", the trees on the bank of the river are a danger). To extend the float, continue to the ramp just past the Spokane Waste Water Treatment Plant, but take note that the retrieval is a four wheel drive only and requires a Discover Pass. After this point a number of dangerous rapids-the Bowl and Pitcher and Devil's Toenail- exist. Do not attempt these unless you are in a capable boat with an experienced guide.
The Devils Toenail provides dramatic views and a challenge for expert rafters.
By Bike: The Centennial Trail offers a 40 mile paved biking or hiking experience along the Spokane River west from the Idaho-Washington State Line through the city of Spokane, ending in Riverside State Park. The relatively flat portion extending from the state line to the Maringo Trailhead allows users to see a 14 mile section of the river on a separated trail (no cars!). Park at one of the many access points for free, grab your bike and hop on. Only three miles of the trial are shared with roadway, so don't end there! The Centennial Trail extends much farther. Check out the Friends of the Centennial Trial website for more information.
By Foot: Explore Riverside State Park, one of Washington's largest, by taking a 2.1 miles stroll along the Spokane River and viewing the dramatic Bowl and Pitcher and Devil's Toenail rapids. Grab your Discover Pass (or buy one at the trailhead) and drive down to the Bowl and Pitcher Park entrance on Downriver Drive. Head over the suspension bridge and take a right to view the Devil's Toenail, another dramatic basalt formation that provides challenging whitewater to expert rafters. Washington Trail Association has a great guide to this hike on their website.
The Centennial Trail is perfect for biking or taking a stroll along the Spokane River. (photo: Friends of the Centennial Trail).
We helped produced a multi-map of the river from below Post Falls Dam to Riverside State Park, meant to be viewed as eight-fold. One side shows access points and rapids, the other has some great river facts.
Avista has an excellent interactive river recreation map.
The Spokane River Forum has a interactive recreation map you can tailor to your needs.
Riverside State Park, one of Washington's largest, has many miles of shoreline trails. A great way to explore the river by foot!
Forty miles long, the Centennial Trail begins at the Washington/Idaho state line and ends at Lake Spokane in Nine Mile Falls, Washington and makes an excellent walking and biking path. The Friends of the Centennial Trail has an map on their site.

At Granton Primary School we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and that both children and adults learn new things every day. We believe that all children and their teachers should be motivated, excited and inspired by the school’s curriculum in order to enjoy school life and develop and acquire the skills and knowledge they need for their future.
The curriculum at Granton has been ‘creative’ for some time, however in September 2011, we began to further consider ways in which the curriculum met the needs of our 21st century learners, their world and the community in which they live.
The vision for the curriculum is that children and teachers plan and direct the path of their learning together, asking questions, making links, exploring possibilities and investigating as appropriate, within a termly theme that is common to the whole school.
We provide a rich and varied learning environment and adopt different teaching & learning styles to allow all children to develop their skills & abilities to their full potential.
Experiential learning is encouraged through educational visits and visitors in school in order to expose the children to a variety of new experiences which will underpin their understanding of a topic.
Although the vision and aims that underpin the curriculum are agreed, the content of the curriculum is flexible and will adapt year on year to suit cohorts and social circumstances, so that it remains relevant and addresses genuine real life issues that children need to be aware of.
Term 1 & 2 – Global Citizenship. PSHE ,Citizenship,RE & social geography focus , developing children as global citizens and developing our school’s link with a Tanzanian and a Parisian school.
Business/Enterprising Project where links with the global citizenship theme are made eg fair trade, sustainability and financial awareness. These activities are all based around the school’s core values: independence, respect, care and consideration and awareness.
Term 3 & 4 – Discovery. History & Science focus , where children investigate the journeys, inventions and explorations which have shaped our world and the legacy which they left. In the second half term, the children produce something for the wider community based on their earlier learning based around the school’s core values: respect, awareness and independence.
Term 5 & 6 - The Environment. Art & physical Geography focus, where the children learn about their school, local and global environments and how to look after them. There is an art based project reflecting different aspects of the environmental work which is shared with the school and wider community.This learning is based around the school’s core values: independence and respect.
Before each term begins, staff training is given by AHT and supporting subject coordinators, to inspire staff with possible starting points and partner teachers work together to plot ideas into a rough spider diagram which is then handed in to the appropriate subject leaders so that coverage of the curriculum can be checked. They consider how to introduce the topic to the children with a stimulating hook, in order to find out what lines of enquiry the children would like to pursue (e.g. by collecting images, maps, artefacts, showing film clips etc). The children’s questions are then matched up with teachers’ initial plans and referenced to the National Curriculum or EYFS curriculum.
Once the spider diagram planning has been handed in to the subject leaders and children have inputted their ideas, teachers transfer the content into a medium term plan, indicating NC links, learning outcomes, children’s questions and planned activities for the term.
As with all teaching and learning, staff work to ensure that children’s work is accurately pitched in order to challenge at every level. Progression of skills as well as knowledge is carefully thought about during the planning process.
At the end of each term, annotated plans are handed in to the subject leaders so that coverage of curriculum content and skills can be assessed, recorded and fed into an evaluation.
We use a range of strategies to assess learning which are recorded on the school tracker or on formats collated by subject leaders three times a year. Assessment informs planning & teaching in a cyclic process. It is constructive, positive, informative and involves the learners in their own progress. Our marking policy keeps the children at the centre of their learning with an expectation for them to self assess and peer assess and respond to teachers’ comments and b-mails.
We set academic targets for the core subjects which the children, their parents and all teaching and support staff have responsibility for. These are monitored on a daily basis and updated regularly.
The curriculum in our school is designed to provide access and opportunity for all children who attend the school. If we think it necessary to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of individual children, we do so in consultation with the parents.
We base our teaching on our knowledge of the children’s level of attainment. Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge & skills of the children. We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each child’s level of ability.
If a child has a special need, Granton does all it can to meet these individual needs including those pupils who are identified as being gifted or talented. We comply with the requirements set out in the SEN code of Practice in providing for children with SEN. If a child displays signs of having a special need, his/her teacher together with the SEN coordinator makes an assessment of this need. The teacher is able to provide resources and educational opportunities that meet the child’s needs within normal class organisation. If a child’s need is more severe, and we have collected the appropriate evidence including that from external agencies, we will consider the child for a statement of special educational needs.
The school provides an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) for each of the children on the special needs register. This sets out the nature of the special need, and outlines how the school will aim to address the need. It also sets out targets for improvement, so that we can review and monitor the progress of each child at regular intervals.
We have high expectations of all children and we aim to support them in achieving the highest possible attainment they can.
Children in Nursery and Reception access the curriculum as set out for the whole school in accordance with the practice guidance in the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. We fully support the principle that young children learn through play and by engaging in well planned, structured activities that relate to their unique interests.
Indoor and outdoor provision is planned carefully to allow the children to access the curriculum and develop their skills effectively.
Light touch baseline assessments are made on each child in the first term in reception, and careful observations are made on all early years children to add to their foundation stage profile and inform next steps planning.
The school provides leaders of subject areas non-contact time wherever possible, so that they can carry out the necessary duties involved with their role.
The Governing Body’s ‘Parents, Pupils and the Community Committee’ is responsible for monitoring the way that the school curriculum is implemented. This committee reviews the curriculum at bi-annual meetings and reports are given to Governors by subject leaders three times a year.
The Senior Leadership Team are responsible for the day to day organisation of the curriculum. Weekly literacy and numeracy planning is uploaded onto the shared drive on a weekly basis and medium term planning, once discussed with the children, is also stored here on a termly basis. At the end of each term, the subject leaders will collect annotated creative curriculum planning to evaluate coverage and progression in skills. This will be monitored in conjunction with book sampling, progress reviews and lesson observations.
Subject leaders also have a responsibility to monitor medium and weekly planning for their subject area to ensure that the aims of the curriculum are being upheld and that planned teaching and learning strategies are appropriate and engaging.
Each term, class teachers send a letter home describing the key learning points to be covered through the curriculum . This is accompanied by 6 home learning project activities (3 compulsory and 3 optional) which complement and support the curriculum delivered in school. The three compulsory activities have a hand in date which will feed into the classroom work. The optional projects are handed in at the end of term . Children are actively encouraged to share this learning with the adults at home and to approach the activities in a range of ways eg, oral presentation, art & craft, ICT, written etc, choosing the most appropriate method for them and their audience . The children are encouraged to manage their own time and resourcing with these project based activities and their progress is monitored, shared and celebrated on a weekly basis in class.There are lunch time groups provided for targeted children to support their home-learning projects who perhaps do not receive as much support from home.
Regular consultation with children, parents, Governors and staff feeds in to the constant review and evaluation of the curriculum.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is close to finalizing a health insurance option for small firms and self-employed people that would cost less but could cover fewer benefits than current plans, congressional officials and business groups said Monday.
The Labor Department could issue final regulations as early as Tuesday, said several people notified by administration officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the pending announcement.
As originally proposed, the new plans would have to cover people with pre-existing health conditions. However, they could offer narrower benefits than required under the Obama-era health law.
“Association health plans” could be marketed across state lines to businesses in a common industry — auto repair shops, for example — or they could be sold to self-employed people like carpenters.
President Donald Trump has long asserted that promoting the sale of health insurance across state lines can bring down premiums without sacrificing quality. But many experts aren’t convinced, because medical costs vary greatly according to geography. Like real estate, health insurance is a local business.
Ultimately, the idea’s success depends on buy-in from plan sponsors, consumers, insurers and state regulators. No major consequences are expected for people covered by large employers.
After Republicans hit a dead end trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the Trump administration has pushed regulatory actions to loosen ACA requirements and try to lower premiums for individuals and small businesses, which now reflect the cost of comprehensive coverage.
Another major initiative is expected later this summer when the administration eases rules for short-term health plans lasting less than a full year that could be purchased by individuals. Those plans wouldn’t have to cover people with pre-existing conditions, but would offer healthy people much lower premiums.
Critics say the administration’s approach will draw healthy people away from the Obama health law’s insurance markets, raising the cost of coverage, which is subsidized by taxpayers. About 11 million people are covered by HealthCare.gov and state markets, but the administration’s priority is to try to lower premiums for another 7 million or so who buy their coverage directly and don’t get any help from the government.
“To the extent that these plans develop and serve as a parallel market, that could have a destabilizing effect,” said Karen Pollitz of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, an expert on individual health insurance. Pollitz also served as a consumer protection regulator in the Obama administration.
“People who think they can get by without those (comprehensive) benefits will look for cheaper premiums,” she added.
State insurance regulators are concerned about association health plans because similar plans in the past had problems with financial solvency and even fraud.

Looking forward to it, Chris.
You seem to be busy today. The BBC have obviously been scouring the UK for people to give 'How to Drive' and 'How to Walk' advice. You were very restrained, not plugging snow shoes, skis, or even crampons (which are now de rigueur here in Timperley).
I enjoy a spring/summer/autumn camp but have not tried anything in winter (I'll confess that I don't intend to anytime soon).
How do you fill the long dark hours on a winter camp? Of course there is eating and sleeping and maybe a good book but 15 hours or so seems a long time to me!
Dougie, the good book is a key! I often don't make camp until after dark too and usually get up before dawn so I'm ready to go when it's light. That can reduce the time in the tent when I'm awake to 2-3 hours in the evening. But even when I'm in the tent for 5 hours or more before going to sleep I find plenty to occupy me - cooking (three courses in winter), eating, reading, making notes and, if the weather's okay, sky watching.
Phreerunner, I was tempted! Actually, I would have mentioned micro spikes and similar if I'd had a few seconds more. I don't think I'd have dared recommend crampons though, even if I'd already seen your photos!
Your article on stoves had me trying to track down a retailer of the new Primus Spider, not much luck it must be said. I did find a shop in Warwick that is hoping to take delivery next week. Shame as I could have given it a good test this weekend when I'm out.
Baz, sorry you couldn't find a Spider. It is a brand new model so I guess most shops don't have stock yet.

I agree. I’ve just bought a 55 as an upgrade to my previous 40. I thought long and hard about going 65 because movies would look that bit more awesome. But anything bigger than 55 would simply dominate my room TOO much.
Same here. I was hoping for 55 as well.
I just upgraded from a 65" tv to a 75" tv a week ago. For me, the upgrade was mostly just because the 75" at $1000 was only HALF the price that my 65" was a few years ago. I wouldn't have gone with such a large tv if the price had been much higher.
Only just noticed the wooden frets get thicker as they move to the outside (or bottom). Nice detail.
We wanted electronic curtains, we have wood curtains !
So if Eclipse is EOL (55" on floor stand is max I can fit) I will have to very rapidly decide if I want to par with my BV11-46.
Not sure I'd ever have one, but the experience of it would be nice. I can't tell from the short clips, but is there no electronic curtain?
Those RL-esque grills are spectacular though!
How this reminds me about a classic Beolab/Beovox 5000, my favourite by far over the wooden version. Why not release the design as a stand-alone speaker?- I am in! It would be cool if the part of the display above the speakers could be active when in sound-center mode.
For me this TV is more of a piece of Art where you either love it or hate it.
I'm glad i got my Beovision Eclipse 55 last month after selling my LOEWE BILD 7.. I'l be keeping that TV for a while.
The Beovison Eclipse was my first ever BV TV and i personally love it. The BV Harmony looks like a "TV concept of the future" product designed in the 70s /80s at an expensive price point. The movement of the panels shoould have just move DONWARDS like the LOEWE BILD 7, now that was classy.
I have a set of Beolab 50s, two pairs of 18s and a host of other B&O speakers so the budget is not the issue here.The movement of the panels shoould have just move DONWARDS like the LOEWE BILD 7, now that was classy AND it had the black curtains in software.
Also No one seems to be mentioning that fact the Harmony has LOST the motorised stand to rotate the TV in different positions. I suppose at 77 inch that would be impossible/impractical. The two tiered wood colour is ok but i would prefer a single tone like all maple, all oak or all smoked oak The two tone grey fabric is terrible take away from the contrast of the wood.
If B&O does release are centre speaker with less capabilities that the eclipse that will be funny.
At this point the future for me once my eclipse packs or i decide to upgrade is a non B&O TV with a soundbard will not match from an aesthetic point of view. The prospect of no beoremote is not great, i never got why people loved it so much until i got the eclsipse. To me me the future post Eclipse would be the LG rollable TV with a B&O soundba - Now that is impressive and moderrn.
Allot of people slated the Eclipse including myself until i got one, now I magine there will be a rush of people trying to get the eclipse before they run out of stock. Especially as theres no 55 inch version of any B&O TV left in the catalogue assuming the Eclipse /Horizon are EOL.
i always thougt i was late to the B&O party with my first BV being the Eclipse but it seems i got in at the optimum time.
Wait for the Beosystem 5 / centre channel product - end of the year / beginning of next.
Is what many have asked for I guess.

EDIT Jan 2019: ISO 19650 was published in January 2019, replacing PAS 1192-2.
An Integrated Management System provides the home for your BIM capability.
The unstoppable force that is BIM means that contractors of all types and size will need to demonstrate, as a minimum requirement of pre-qualification, the capability to work in a BIM environment.
This will mean embedding BIM processes into your business; such processes should of course become an integral part of your current management system – your current way of doing things.
Indeed, the requirements of PAS 1192-2 (the Specification for Information Management for the capital/delivery phase of Construction Projects using Building Information Modelling (BIM)) are satisfied by processes that sit within, and are supported by, an ISO Compliant Integrated Management System. When the national standards body, the British Standards Institution (BSI), who are at the forefront of developing the BIM Standards to ensure a consistent and collaborative approach to BIM declares that, “Systems (ISO) Certification provide the foundations for BIM Certification” then we know that an Integrated Management System (IMS) is the way to go. So, what are the practicalities of developing an IMS?, looking at the ISO Standards first and then the more specific demands of BIM?
The requirements of the ISO Standards that concern construction specialists can and should be successfully combined to form an Integrated Management System (IMS). This is why almost all of our specialist contractor clients successfully secure Certification to ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and OHSAS 18001 (Health & Safety Management) at the same time by developing an IMS containing all the necessary processes to run their business (your IMS can of course contain processes and requirements beyond the demands of the ISO standards’ as well and we always urge you to do so). There is much commonality in the requirements of the ISO Standards. In fact, for 9001, 14001 and 18001 there have always been sections that are almost word-for-word the same. ISO 9001 is undoubtedly the bedrock; while 14001 and 18001 have been designed to both standalone and to combine with or bolt on to ISO 9001. Furthermore, 9001 and 14001 have recently been updated (2015 versions) to the same common structure and 18001 will follow suit soon, probably later this year. All this makes integration easier and the most successful Integrated Management System framework has always taken ISO 9001, as the base dealing with the common elements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 simultaneously and adding the unique elements of 14001 and 18001 according to where they arise within the ‘Plan-Do-Check & Act’, fundamental philosophy of the ISO Standards.
The time and cost saving when it comes to auditing can be even more favourable. Certification bodies will happily visit you on three separate occasions to audit your Quality Management System, then your Environmental Management System and then your Occupational Health & Safety Management System, and happily charge you for the privilege on each occasion. The time taken to audit can legitimately be substantially reduced under UKAS rules when there is a properly Integrated Management System.
b) the prescriptive elements of that specification can be used to further inform elements of your ISO System.
For example, in relation to the former, with an already ISO compliant IMS the elements of PAS that are quintessentially ISO 9001 will already have a firm foundation; namely, policy statements, strategy (Business and BIM), knowledge, competence and training, roles and responsibilities. With regard to the latter, your unique operational elements will need to be enhanced by the demands of the PAS and these will be within your IMS’s implementation and operation section. A specific example will illustrate that point. Any robust ISO-compliant IMS will contain your best practice in managing project information, but BIM will add pressure to such procedures. Not only could there be an increase in the amount of information generated but the PAS, and indeed documents that support it, will add further requirements for the issue, recording, use, reuse and final handover of such information. The requirement to respond to and contribute to your customer’s BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is another specific example that will build on what you already do to ensure effective and appropriate project-specific communication with your customers.
Integrated Management Systems provide a central hub for all your defined best practice. They are never cast in stone and indeed ISO Certification compels you to ensure, through ISO practices, that your Management System grows and evolves with your business. It is widely believed that for most specialist contractors it is not a question of “if” they will need to develop a BIM capability but “when”. When that capability needs to be demonstrated against the requirements of a Standard that builds on ISO principles and practices, then actually the real question is not “if you should” develop an ISO-Compliant Integrated Management System but “when will you”?
BIM Certification: Will it Help?

Gelder Group along with the project architects & consultants Keir Group secured top spot for the development of the North Sea Observatory at Chapel Point, Chapel St Leonards.
The unique building secured the award for both its design, workmanship and for being delivered on budget despite a plethora of challenges, not least of which is its location on a very windswept sea front!
The facility offers all year round facilities for families and those enjoying a walk along the beach and the building includes a cafe, public toilets, exhibitions and is an impressive gateway to the coastal county park.
Over 350 people gathered to celebrate the Construction and Property Awards in Lincolnshire, which took place at the Doubletree by Hilton in Lincoln.
Guests arrived at these prestigious awards, sponsored by Fraser Brown Solicitors and were welcomed by guest speaker, Homes Under the Hammer presenter, Martin Roberts.
The North Sea Observatory at Chapel St Leonards nearing completion.
A new iconic building on the seafront at Chapel St Leonards is almost ready to be handed over to our clients Lincolnshire County Council. The facility constructed by Gelder Group will have fantastic uninterrupted views of the dunes, beach and North Sea and is the UK’s only purpose designed marine observatory.
This has been another very technical and challenging build so well done to the team. As you can see from the photo, the end result is spectacular.
A local resident gets a sneak preview of the new iconic marine observatory!
If you would like to know more about the Gelder Group’s involvement in this project, please get in touch.
The North Sea Observatory at Chapel St Leonards.
After many months of construction both Sleaford Eastgate Development and North Sea Observatory are beginning to take shape. These projects have been fraught with issues but the team has overcome them to transfer once derelict and unused land in to wonderful buildings.
If you would like to know more about either of these projects, please get in touch with our Major Contracts division.
Neil Holt has now become our fifth Contracts Manager within the expanding Major Contracts Team. Neil has worked for the division for over 13 years and has managed many projects all over the counties. He leaves the North Sea Observatory project as Site Manager, but will continue to oversee the project, as well as additional projects in Kettering.
Well done Neil, and good luck!
There was a lot of construction work happening in May, see below for a selection of photos taken in and around some of the sites run by our Major Contracts division.
Foundations in place at Lidl in Gainsborough.
Steelwork erected at Lincoln Hospital.
North Hykeham Community Hub nearing completion.
Concrete slab laid at Lidl in Gainsborough.
New roof being installed at the North Sea Observatory in Chapel St Leonards.
Demolition work begins on Newark Fire Station.
First walls being constructed at Lidl in Gainsborough.
New house build in Skellingthorpe.
If you would like to see more photos, be sure to follow us on Twitter. And, if you would like further information about any of the projects that our Major Contracts division are currently involved with, please get in touch.
Steelwork being erected at Chapel St Leonards.
Last month saw the delivery of the steelwork to the North Sea Observatory at Chapel St Leonards. The building is in a new phase of construction with steelwork being erected, which sees the structure starting to take shape.
The project did not get off to an easy start. During the early stages we discovered some unexploded bombs, which had to be safely cleared from the area. All of the World War 2 Home Guard bombs have now been removed and normal construction regains its stride.

Children’s play with sensory-rich, loose part materials can be an important part in creative learning. How these materials are spatially arranged may also dramatically influence how a child takes up and explores them.
Below are three practical tips for arranging materials to support children’s imagination and curiosity. I have put these together based on my own experience working as an artist and educator with young children.
It would be great to hear what others find useful when laying out materials for children so please comment below!
Vygotsky talks about the importance of social interactions in facilitating learning amongst groups of people (Vygotsky, 1980). As a child’s peers, teacher or parents may have more advanced understandings or abilities in relation to a particular skill, concept or task, a child’s interactions with them may allow for new knowledge to be produced. Social interactions between groups of people may encourage collective problem solving and group conceptual exploration. Social interactions may be verbal (through discussions) or observational (through watching others).
Arranging materials in a large, communal area such as a table, rug or outdoor space can encourage children to interact with different peers and adults. Furthermore, creating opportunities for children to work together on a joint problem may also encourage learning from multiple perspectives.
An example of this could be setting up a painting activity on a large 5m x 2m sheet of paper instead of giving children individual pieces of paper to work on. Or if you want children to make individual artworks, layout the workstations in a way that children can watch and interact with others.
A giant log inside a classroom. A bunch of flowers on a light table. Musical instruments in a forest. A newspaper sculpture in a garden. Thinking creatively about the context that materials are presented in may encourage children to explore and experiment with them in dynamic ways. The unusual arrangement may also draw new aesthetic perspectives to the material, encouraging different learning pathways.
For example, children may play with a tree branch presented on a table indoors differently to how they may play with the same branch in a park.
Flexibility has been flagged as a critical consideration in the spatial and material design of children’s learning environments (Dudek, 2005). Children’s ability to adapt, modify, construct, destroy and reconstruct the spatial arrangement of an environment may allow them to take make it more personally meaningful over time. Allowing for materials to be moved around and change form is an important part of designing for flexibility.
This could be done in many ways. For example, the environment could start very simple with just one material. Different materials and spatial arrangements could then be added in response to children’s play.
Selecting materials that are open-ended, and can transform over time – like clay, paint or natural materials – can encourage children’s experimentation over an extended period of time. Tools, such as rollers and hammers also allow children to transform a material in different ways.
Finally, having an experimental mindset is the most important quality an educator can have in exploring the arrangement of materials! This way of thinking prevents materials from being used in fixed and formatted ways in children’s lives.
It is also important to note that an arrangement that worked well in one activity may go pear-shaped in the next.
If you need more inspiration for laying out materials, check out my Pinterest page.

Honey. The immortal form of our beautiful flowers and the result of the life-long work of honeybees, the sweetener of our dishes. I think many of us use honey for cooking or eating it raw, drizzled on the top of a yummy smoothie bowl.
I was pretty much scared to have thousands of bees around me but at the same time, I was always so curious to see beekeeping and hives on my own. Well, 27 years of fear ended by a visit at the apiary of Corbett and Son Honey. Their golden honey comes from the surrounding fields of Barton le Clay, a charming village in the heart of England.
Dave Corbett and his father started beekeeping in 2014 with one colony, and nowadays they have about 100 colonies and additional nucs (small colonies) at 5 location. They sell honey, trading nucs, and colonies plus take an important part in education about beekeeping.
March – April: fruit tree blossoms like apple, pear, plum from cultivated plants and that is even more important Willows and Dandelions.
I’d like to show you the journey of honey from flower to the honeypot, I’ve asked Dave to show me the whole process so prepare yourself for all the interesting facts you will read below.
Bees collect nectar from flowers then enzymes are added in their honey stomach, this is the first step of its transformation, to become honey. The nectar is ripened in the hive while warm air is circulated through it provided by fanning bees. This action removes excess moisture from the nectar. Once the moisture content drops, bees close these cells with a thin wax capping.
Bee pollen: is a pollen ball packed by worker bees into pellets called bee bread.
Royal jelly: is a honey bee secretion used as the nutrition of any larvae in the colony as well as adult queens.
Propolis: antibacterial material the bees using for sealing the edges of the hive or small cracks and gaps inside the hive.
Beeswax: is a natural wax produced by honey bees.
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are social insects, which means they live together in large colonies. Each member of the colony has a definite task to perform. There are three kinds of adult bees: workers, drones, and a queen.
To compare the ratio of the roles: there are several thousand worker bees cooperate in hive-building, food collection, and caring about the next generations of the colony. A colony normally has a single queen and several hundred drones.
Each colony has only one queen, except during swarming preparations or supersedure. She is the only sexually developed female so her primary function is the reproduction. She produces both fertilized (=workers) and unfertilized (=drones) eggs. It’s easy to identify the queen since her body is normally much longer than other bees. According to the international beekeeping rules, she has a colored mark on her body which tells the beekeepers for example in which year she was born. The second major function of the queen is producing pheromones that serve as a social “glue” unifying and helping to give individual identity to a bee colony. This is how it happens that the temper of the bees equals the temper of their queen, so some colonies are super calm and others could be more aggressive.
The lifespan of queens can be up to 5 years. New queens are raised under three different circumstances: emergency, supersedure, or swarming. During my visit, I saw examples for each case. On the left you can see the elongated cells at the edge of the frame: these are queen cells produced in preparation for swarming. On the right, you can see a much larger, elongated cell. Emergency and supersedure queen cells are typically raised on the comb surface, and it happens when the unhappy workers prepare to replace (supersede) her or in case of an emergency like losing the queen.
About one week after emerging from a queen cell, the virgin queen leaves the hive to mate with several drones (male bees) during her mating flight. Drones are the largest bees in the colony, they have no stinger, pollen baskets, or wax glands. Male bee cells have a bumpy surface since they are much bigger than worker bees larvae. When cold weather begins in the fall and nectar resources become short, since drones eat three times more than others, they usually are forced out into the cold and left to starve.
Workers are the smallest bees of the colony. They are sexually undeveloped females and have specialized structures, such as brood food glands, scent glands, wax glands, and pollen baskets, which allow them to perform all the labors of the hive. During their initial few weeks as adults, they clean the cells, feed larvae, care for the queen, handle incoming nectar, build beeswax combs, guard the entrance, and ventilate the hive. Later, as field bees, they collect nectar and pollen. The lifespan of the worker during summer is about 6 weeks but the ones reared close to autumn may live longer: allowing the colony to survive the winter and assisting in the rearing of new generations in the spring before they die.
Probably you already know, beekeepers use smoke to keep the bees calm during their visits at the hives. When bees get upset, they produce ‘alarm pheromone’ which signal makes other bees upset as well. If they smell smoke around their hive, it makes them think it is going to catch on fire. In this case, bees try to save their honey. When the smoke enters the hive, the bees begin storing up as much honey in their bodies as possible, in preparation to build a new hive if the present one melts. Once they’re full, they’re less likely to sting; stinging you will cause them to die, and the honey won’t make it to their new home. The disruption is temporary, it won’t hurt the long-term health of the colony, the bees recover their pheromone-sensitivity within 10-20 minutes.
Each hive of the apiary has an interesting structure. It’s built up by boxes, contains frames the bees are building the honeycombs on and these boxes are stacked. On top levels, the boxes contain smaller frames, worker bees and most of the honey. These are the frames the beekeeper extracting the honey from.
The bottom box is covered by a metal net to avoid the queen moving and laying eggs to upper levels. Here we can find the drones, larvae and of course, more honey. Beekeepers leave this honey in the hives for wintertime. Every time they visit their apiaries, they check every single frame of this bottom box and add comments to the documents of the colonies. If there is a productive queen that raise a bigger and stronger colony, there are additional boxes for her on the bottom of the stack.
The extraction process is very simple. Beekeepers collect the boxes contains frames full of honey. The sealed honeycombs will be uncapped, placed in a centrifuge and the filtered honey will be poured into jars raw.
When a cell is full of honey, bees are sealing it by a thin layer of beeswax, we call caps. To extract the honey the comb needs to be uncapped. On the uncapped frame below, you can see the difference between the color of the cells. It means that the workers visited different types of flowers.
Dave and his father don’t waste the small comb particles and honey he removes during uncapping: they return this part to the bees because it provides food for them for a while.
Beekeepers place the uncapped frames into a centrifuge and after spinning it for about a minute all the honey goes from the cells to the bottom of the centrifuge. The empty beeswax cells will be placed back to the hive and the bees will start filling them again while collecting seasonal nectar.
The extracted raw honey goes through a filter and will be poured into jars you can find in local markets or buy straight from Dave Corbett.
Méz. Gyönyörű virágaink halhatatlan formája, a méhek élethosszig tartó munkájának gyümölcse, ételeink megédesítője. Szerintem sokunk használja a mézet sütéshez vagy nyersen, egy reggeli smoothie-s tálra csorgatva.
Rendkívül tartottam attól, hogy méhek ezrei döngicséljenek körül, ugyanakkor mindig is kíváncsi voltam vajon, hogy is néz ki a méhészkedés a gyakorlatban. 27 év rettegése néhány hete ért véget, amikor meglátogattam a Corbett and Son Honey kaptárait. Aranyló mézük egy Angliai kis falut, Barton le Clay-t körülvevő mezőkről és erdőkről származik.
Dave Corbett és édesapja 2014-ben, egy méhcsaláddal kezdték a méhészkedést, mára már 5 helyszínen vannak kaptáraik amelyekben több mint 100 méhcsalád és fiatal méhcsalád él. Mézeladással, kisebb, fiatal méhcsaládok és teljes kolóniák kereskedelmével illetve méhészeti oktatással is foglalkoznak.
Március – Április: gyümölcsfa virágok (alma, körte, szilva) termesztett növények valamint fűz és pitypang.
Szeretném bemutatni a méz útját a virágoktól egészen a mézescsuporig, így hát megkértem Dave-et, hogy mutassa meg az egész folyamatot. Készülj fel, sok érdekességet fogsz olvasni.
Pontosan mi is a méz?
A méhek nektárt gyűjtenek a virágokról, amihez a mézzé alakulás folyamatának első lépéseként, mézgyomrukban különféle enzimek keverednek. A nektár a kaptárban érlelődik miközben a dolgozók egy csoportja keringteti a meleg levegőt. Ennek eredményeképp a nektár nedvességtartalma csökken és amint elérte a megfelelő érettségi állapotot a méhek vékony viaszfedéllel zárják a mézzel teli sejteket.
Pollen: a dolgozók által kis golyócskákká csomagolt pollen-adagok.
Méhpempő: a méhek egy váladéka amely a kolónia lárvái és a kifejlett királynő táplálására szolgál.
Propolisz: antibakteriális anyag, amelyet a méhek a kaptár peremének és repedéseinek kitöltéséhez használnak.
Méhviasz: a méhek által termelt természetes viaszféleség.
A mézelő méhek (Apis mellifera) szociális rovarok, ami azt jelenti, hogy nagy kolóniákban, családokban élnek együtt. A méhcsalád minden tagjának megvan a maga szerepe. Három különbözö kifejlett méhet különböztetünk meg: dolgozó, here és királynő.
A szerepek aránya a következő: egy normál méhcsaládnak egyetlen királynője van és néhány-száz here él a közösségben, amelynek fenntartásában, az élelmgyűjtésben és a következő generációk nevelésében pedig néhány ezer dolgozó közreműködik.
Minden méhcsaládnak egy királynője van, kivételt képez ez alól a rajzás, túlnépesedés vagy bármilyen vészhelyzet esete. Ő az egyetlen ivarérett nőstény, ezért az elsődleges feladata a reprodukció. Megtermékenyített (=dolgozók) és termékenyítetlen (=herék) petéket rak. Könnyű felismerni, hiszen a királynő teste hosszabb mint a többi méhé. A nemzetközi méhészeti szabályoknak megfelelően színes jelölőt visel, ami többek között arról is árulkodik, melyik évben kelt ki. A királynő másik fontos feladata a ferromon termelés, amely a közösség összetartó erejeként funkcionál. Így lehetséges, hogy a méhek természete megegyezik a királynőjükével, néhány méhcsalád békésebb, mások agresszívabbak.
Élettartama akár 5 év is lehet. A méhek három különböző esetben nevelnek új királynőket: vészhelyzet, túlnépesedés vagy rajzás. A látogatásom során mindegyik esetre láttam példát. Feljebb görgetve, a kapcsolódó képek közűl bal oldalon a keret szélén megnyúlt serteket láthatsz: ezek a rajzás esetére nevelt királynők lárváit tatalmazzák. A jobb oldalon egy sokkal nagyobb, hosszúkás sejtet láthatsz. Vészhelyzet vagy túlnépesedés esetén nevelt királynők sejtje a keret felszínén helyezkedik el, ez akkor is megtörténik, ha a méhek elégedetlenek a jelenlegi királynővel és lecserélnék azt vagy épp hirtelen elvesztették a királynőjüket.
Nagyjából egy héttel azután, hogy kikelt sejtjéből, az új királynő elhagyja a kaptárat és párzási repülése alkalmával számos herével (hím méhhel) párosodik. A herék a kolónia legnagyobb egyedei, nincs fullánkjuk, pollenkoráskájuk vagy viaszmirigyeik. A hím méhek lárvái sokkal nagyobban mint a dolgozóké, ezért a sejtek felülete kitüremkedik a keret felszínéről. Amikor beöszönt a hideg, őszi időjárás és a nektárforrások lecsökkennek, általában kitoloncolják őket a kaptárból és éhen pusztulnak. Ennek oka nem más, minthogy háromszor annyit esznek mint a többi méh.
A dolgozók a család legkisebb termetű egyedei. Ivarilag nem kifejlett nőstényekről beszélünk, különleges testfelépítlssel rendelkeznek, hiszen van utódneveléshez szükséges váladék kiválasztására alkalmas mirigyeik, illat mirigyeik, viasz mirigyeik, valamint a pollen kosárkáik, ezzel alkalmassá válnak a kaptár összes feladatának ellátására. Életük első heteiben takarítják a sejteket, etetik a lárvákat, gondoskodnak a királynőről, kezelik a bejövő nektárt, méhviasz sejteket épytenek, védik a kaptár bejáratát és keringtetik a levegőt a kaptárban. Később, gyűjtögető méhekként nektárt és pollent gyűjtenek. A dolgozók éettartama nyáron nagyjából 6 hét, azonban az ősszel kikelő egyedek hosszabb ideig élnek: segítenek a családnak átvészelni a telet és felnevelik a tavaszi új generációkat mielőtt elpusztulnak.
Biztosan hallottál már róla, hogy a kaptáraknál tett látogatásaik során a méhészek füstöt használnak a méhek lecsillapítására. Amikor a méhek idegesek, úgynevezett ‘riadó’ feromont termelnek, ez a jelzés az össze többi méhet is idegessé teszi. Ha füstöt észlelnek a kaptárjuknál, azt feltételezik, hogy a kaptár ki fog gyulladni. Ez esetben a mézet próbálják menteni. Amint a füst beér a kaptárba, a méhek a testükben annyi mézet tárolnak amennyit csak tudnak, ezzel arra készülnek fel, hogy új kaptárt építsenek, ha a jelenlegi elolvad. Amikor tele vannak mézzel, kisebb eséllyel szúrnak, hiszen a szúrást követően elpusztulnának, és akkor a méz nem érne át az ‘új’ otthonukba. A zavartság átmeneti csupán, nem jár a kolónia maradandó károsodásával, a méhek nagyjából 10-20 perc elteltével visszanyerik feromon-érzékenységüket.
A méhészet kaptárjainak érdekes szerkezete van. Dobozokból épülnek fel, amelyek kereteket tartalmaznak, ezekre a méhek a méhviasz sejtekből összefüggő viaszfalakat építenek. A felső szinteken, kisebb keretekben méz és dolgozó méhek találhatók. A méhész ezekből a keretekből pergeti ki a mézet.
A kaptár legalsó dobozát fém rács fedi, ez megakadályozza, hogy a királynő a felsőbb szinteken is petéket rakjon. Ha a királynő szorgalmas, akkor nagyobb és erősebb kolóniát hoz létre, ezért extra dobozt kap. Amikor meglátogatják a kaptárikat, a méhészek az alsó doboz(ok) minden keretét átvizsgálják és a kolónia állapotával kapcsolatos megjegyzéseket adnak a méhcsaládhoz tartozó dokumentumhoz. Ezen a szinten élnek a herék és a lárvák is az itt található sejtekben fejlődnek. Persze van itt még több méz is, de ezt a méhészek a kaptárban hagyják télire.
A pergetés folyamata rendkívül egyszerű. A méhész begyűjti azokat a dobozokat amik mézzel teli kereteket tartalmaznak. A lezárt lépeket lefedelezik és beteszik a kereteket a centrifugába, majd a leszűrt méz nyersen üvegekbe kerül.
Amikor a sejt feltöltődött mézzel a méhek egy vékony viaszréteggel, fedéllel zárják le azt. A méz kinyeréséhez ezt el kell távolítani, ezt a folyamatot hívjuk fedelezésnek. Felgörgetve, a folyamathoz tartozó képeken látható, hogy a lefedelezett keretekben több színárnyalatú méz van. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a méhek különböző növényekről gyűjtögették a nektárt.
Dave és édesapja nem dobják ki a fedelezés során lehulló, mézzel bevont viasztörmeléket sem, ezt táplálékként visszajuttatják a méheknek.
A méhész centrifugába helyezi a lefedelezett kereteket és nagyjából egy perces pergetés során a méz kicsapódik asejtekből és lefolyik a centrifuga aljára. Az üres lépeket visszajuttatják a kaptárakba és a méhek újra feltölthetik őket szezonális mézzel.
A kipergetett mézet átszűrik és üvegekbe töltik. Ezeket az üvegeket a környező piacokon is megtalálhatjátok vagy egyenesen Dave Corbetttől is megvásárolhatóak.

Close friends and family know that I rarely — if ever — shop online, especially for things like clothes and shoes. It’s not because I’m a technophobe, of course (I can hardly afford to be one, in my line of work), but because I simply prefer to get a sense of the fit of a piece of clothing before I drop any amount of cash on it.
So when online brands get pop-up stores of their own, I’m beyond ready to get out there and check them out. After all, pop-up stores mean that I get more variety without having to risk potential bad investments or worse — hefty shipping fees just to return a badly made piece of clothing.
Late last year, Zalora launched their first ever pop-up store in Singapore. It was located at ION Orchard, and was open for business all the way till earlier this year. This makes the Bugis+ pop-up the second time that Zalora has opened a retail space.
With the wide variety of brands — both in-house and international — on the Zalora website, you might be wondering how they’re planning to bring all of that into a rather more limited retail space. The answer: by creating a carefully-curated range of products, which showcase the best of what the brand already has online.
Yes, unlike usual retail outlets which only have a single price tag on their apparel, the clothes at Zalora’s Bugis+ pop-up store will have two codes. One is a typical barcode that will let shoppers make purchases immediately at the Express Checkout counter — a feature that the ION Orchard pop-up did not have.
The second is a QR code, which buyers will be able to scan via the Zalora app on their personal mobile phones. This will give buyers the option to add items to their online shopping carts or wishlists, and have them delivered straight to their doorstep should they decide to buy it after they’ve left the store.
What can I say? Zalora clearly knows the way to a savvy shopper’s heart. With the free WiFi, shoppers will be able to scan the above-mentioned QR codes, and add items to their virtual shopping carts if they remain undecided about certain products.
If you were thinking of using the computers to surf the Internet while waiting for friends, though, or worse — shop from other online boutiques — shame on you.
If, like me, you simply can’t see yourself making a purchase without first trying the pieces on, you’d be glad to know that the Bugis+ pop-up will allow you to collect online orders at the shop itself. This means you can try on your pieces immediately after collecting them, and make exchanges on the spot, if necessary.

If you want to look beautiful without irritating or hurting your skin, you need to know some of the beauty myths first. And then from here on stop falling for them!
These beauty myths have been with us for years. It happened to me when I was at a sleepover and unfortunately had a big pimple on my face. So my friend suggested me to use toothpaste on it. I tried it and trusted me I regretted. And then the series continued throughout my life until I discovered the facts.
But I don’t want you to go through the same thing. So here I am with this post to help you understand some of the beauty myths and what is the ACTUAL TRUTH.
Let’s uncover the truth behind these beauty myths, gals. Shall we?
Over-brushing your hair can do way more harm than it can good. Also, it can trigger oil glands causing greasy, oily, flat hair. They will not help you in hair growth instead it can make your hair brittle and the roots weak.
Using hair ties can tear or rip your hair but since most are covered in fabric their harmless. Unless they are super tight on your hair, bobby pins, clips &, etc. are safe to your hair.
Not entirely. Drinking that much water will hydrate your body, including your skin of course, but the very outer layer of your skin is composed of dead skin cells, which won’t be absorbed or affected by excessively drinking water. This layer of skin is mostly influenced by exterior things like weather, products, etc.
However, drinking water does have some benefits for the skin.
If you force a zit and make your skin bleed, you will most likely leave a scar since you are damaging the skin. However, if a pimple has arrived at the outer layer of the skin and is popped correctly and gently, you won’t leave an acne scar. If you have acne scars, try a toner to get an even skin tone.
Some makeups will make you break out and irritate your skin. However not all. Lots of makeup products are specially formulated for a sensitive or acne prone skin. Some foundations even have acne fighting chemicals in them. Look for labels such as “Hypo-allergenic,” “Designed for sensitive skin,” “Oil-free,” etc.
Wrong! Just because something says, Hypoallergenic doesn’t mean it won’t cause you to breakout. It still contains chemicals.
One of the biggest lies women believe! Alike the hypoallergenic myth people so commonly think that organic products won’t irritate their skin! Natural products typically are gentler on the skin and work well with people. However, that isn’t to say a natural ingredient won’t irritate your skin, cause acne or any other skin problems.
While there is a certain tie-bit of truth to this, there is also a line of lies. We all know that a girl that can eat the crappiest of junk foods and still have gorgeous, flawless skin. It all depends on you and your skin type. Often people disassociate breakouts with food when its hormonal problems.
Sleeping with your hair extensions, clipping extensions in too tightly and wearing too heavy of extensions can cause a tad bit of hair strain. However, extensions managed adequately will not cause hair to break or not grow.
Waxing causes pain, so shaving is the only way left. But are you also scared of shaving? Do you think you might end up with sharp and thicker hair? Then let me clear off that myth for you. Shaving only cuts the hair above the skin. And as the ends are chopped off with the razor, the hair has stubbly ends and makes it appears darker. And thus we think that shaving makes the hair grow darker and thicker.
If your mom told you to drink more milk seeing the white spots on the nails then its time to bring out the truth. The white spots on the nails are because of some damage or injury to the nail. They can sometimes even be due to overuse of nail polish. Milk can only make your nails stronger, but the white spots are not because of the deficiency of calcium.
Cutting the ends of your hair won’t help you grow them faster. Regular trims make your hair grow more quickly is a widespread myth. But yes cutting the rough, damaged and split ends will help. It will help you have healthy and thicker look and also prevent them from breakage.
Why use a product on your face that is not meant to be? Face products are made in the way that they do not cause any harm. Applying toothpaste on the pimple will only cause skin irritation and may leave marks. So, if someone tells you to use toothpaste on your pimple, please DON’T.
Nothing! Nothing will happen if you pluck out your grey or white hair. They will grow back, but that’s it. It won’t harm the hair surrounding it or cause your other hair to turn grey. The hair you pluck will grow back in the same spot over time. We try to avoid plucking as it can sometimes lead to bald spot due to the harm caused to the follicle.
Some say that the split ends can be repaired with some oils or serums. But that won’t happen. The oils and serums might stick the split ends for some time but not fix them. The only solution is to trim off the slip ends. Trimming will make your hair growth normal.
Just like washing your face many times a day can leave your skin dehydrated and dry and sometimes cause over secretion of natural oils, similarly exfoliating daily will leave your skin red and dry. Scrubbing every day can irritate the skin. Know your skin before you do anything. If you have dry skin, try to exfoliate only once a week, but if you have oily skin, you can do it twice a week.
If you believe that tanning beds are safer than natural sun tanning, then you are entirely wrong. Overexposure to heat causes skin cancer. Tanning in natural sunlight and tanning bed all the time are harmful. But tanning beds are more damaging to skin as they emit 10-12 times more UV light than sunlight. So think before you plan to use tanning bed every time to tan your skin.
Dark circles are caused due to lack of nutrition, hormonal changes, dehydration, allergies and sometimes because of genetics. Lack of sleep does not create dark circles. It may make under dark eye circles appear more ominous, but it’s not the cause. Sometimes even sleeping on your stomach facing downwards can also cause dark circles. You can try a few of the home remedies or creams to lighten the darkness.
Curly hair tends to break easily when continuously combed or roughly due to the locks in the hair. But that does not mean you cannot straighten your hair. Do it gently or if possible do it while your hair is wet or even after applying conditioner as it let the comb slide down easily. Use a wide tooth comb instead of a brush.
Carbs do not make you fat or gain weight. Avoiding carbs include pasta, potatoes, and bread. What we don’t know is that even veggies and fruits contain carbs. It is sugar and calories that make us fat. Eat the right carb to maintain a healthy diet.
So now that you are aware of these myths, I hope you will stop falling for them. It is better to not risk yourself with something you don’t know when it comes to your beautiful skin.
Now all you got to do is write a comment below if this post helped you clear the doubts and myths. Also, put down some of the myths which you know or have come across. And also share this post with your girl-friends and help them discover the truth and not fall for the most common beauty myths.

The HT-CSDS Survey has thrown few surprises. But no, they don?t defy explanation.
The HT-CSDS Survey that we have been bringing to you since October 20 has generated a lot of excitement — and healthy debate. This has been as much for the depth and scope of the Survey, as for some of the results that it has thrown up. Yes, there have been a few surprises. But no, they don’t defy explanation.
Take the case of Chaudhary Prem Singh, president, Delhi Congress, whose MLA’s report card was published in the Hindustan Times on October 24. Prem Singh, who has never lost an election in his life, was rated ‘F’ — failed.
Did this mean that Prem Singh was about to lose this time? And if he won, would that automatically suggest that we had gone terribly wrong? The answer, in both cases, is no.
The MLA’s report card doesn't reflect whether he/she will win or not. It tells you what a (scientifically arrived at) sample of voters in his/her constituency think of his/her performance as their legislator.
Neither does the MLA’s personal rating mirror what voters think of the prospects of the party he represents. Understanding this distinction is crucial. An MLA rated ‘A’ may lose an election because the party he represents is unpopular. For somebody rated ‘F’, the converse may be true.
The Ambedkar Nagar seat is an excellent case study. Voters in the constituency rated Prem Singh poorly for his performance, but the Congress prospects of retaining the seat are extremely bright. In short: election results aren’t dependent entirely on the performance of sitting legislators.
In order to make this clear, we are adding a feature to our MLAs’ report card: in addition to the legislator’s personal rating, we will also give you the voter’s perception of his/her party’s prospects for that seat. The two, as you will see, may often not match.
There’s yet another apparent anomaly and it’s demonstrated best by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit’s report card. When Delhi was asked who it thought would be the best chief minister, it voted overwhelmingly in her favour. But in her own constituency, she gets a ‘B’ for her performance as an MLA. For somebody rated so highly as a chief ministerial candidate, this rating is poor. But there’s a reason for it: voters understand that the two jobs are different. And their ratings reflect this.
The views of the voters interviewed in the course of the HT-CSDS Survey are also truly representative. Take Ambedkar Nagar: 195 people spread across 20 localities were interviewed; 50 per cent were women; 25 per cent were illiterate; 23 per cent were graduates; 32 per cent were upper caste Hindus; there were 37 per cent Dalits. These percentages mirror, almost exactly, the whole constituency’s voter composition.
This is true of every constituency that we have covered. It required no special effort on our part — that’s the beauty of random sampling done on such a large scale.
It’s also why we are confident that the HT-CSDS Survey will continue to inform the reader better than any other survey. Which is why you should watch this space.

Three weeks ago, I gave a talk to the National Capital Area Skeptics at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, VA. The topic was one near and dear to my heart, namely quackademic medicine.
I was informed the other day that the video had finally been posted. Unfortunately, there were some problems with the sound in a couple of places, which our intrepid NCAS video editor did his best to fix. Overall, however, the sound quality seems decent. The video even includes the Q&A session. In case you’re interested, the guy who asks the question about mercury in vaccines and autism is Paul Offit’s very own stalker Jake Crosby. I feel honored to think that Jake now apparently lumps me in the same category as Paul Offit, whom I admire greatly. Enjoy.

This report outlines the various discussion topics for the Sustainable Economy Committee meeting to be held on Thursday 2 June 2016.
That the Sustainable Economy Committee note the report and discussion topics.
Renewable Energy has been identified in the draft Economic Development Strategy (EDS) – Enterprising Byron 2025 as a ‘Game Changer’ primarily due to the positive impact cleaner energy can have on business operations for energy savings and for increasing regional business competitive advantage.
However, Byron Shire could also facilitate the establishment of renewable energy businesses as an emerging industry and potentially create new jobs for the Shire within key sectors.
The purpose of this report is to provide an opportunity for the SEC group to discuss the future of renewable energy employment generation including in the business services and trades sector e.g. solar installation, the knowledge sector with new product innovation/consultancies e.g. CORUM.
Also, to look at possibly taking it up a notch by promoting an independent emerging industry sector under the banner of Renewable Energy economy which could include energy retailing, biochar/bio energy production enterprises.
The ‘Food Economy’ has featured in the EDS – Enterprising Byron 2025 as an industry priority for the diversity of employment and increasing income levels and skill sets. Whilst this does include primary industry in the agriculture sector we have not specifically focussed on other agriculture opportunities that are non food related.
As such the opportunity to explore the importance of the non food related agriculture e.g. hemp, bamboo, cabinet timbers etc. to our economic development strategy for the Shire with the SEC and the role that Council and the SEC can play in facilitating employment generation in this area is important to discuss.
This project was developed in response to an invitation from QLD Department of Industry and Gold Coast City Council to facilitate a connection between Byron region food producers and manufacturers with the 2018 Commonwealth Games food supply project.
In the short term the 2018 Commonwealth Games is a catalyst for a greater industry development opportunity. Council has been successful in attracting funds to deliver the Byron Region Food Advantage Project that will, in the first instance, develop industry business development and profiling tools and capacity but in the long term open up new markets for domestic and export supply chains as proposed in the draft EDS.
Insights from the SEC regarding the 3 deliverables outlined in the attached project brief would be appreciated in the meeting discussion.
The attached is provided to the Sustainable Economy Committee (SEC) as a record of the 26 May Council Meeting where a resolution was recorded relating the 3 March Meeting Minutes and recommendations.
That the Sustainable Economy Committee note the 26 May 2016 Council resolution relating to the 3 March 2016 meeting minutes and recommendations.
The attached resolution from the 26 May 2016 Council meeting relates to the 3 March 2016 Sec Meeting minutes and recommendations.
It is recommended that the SEC note the resolution.
Action is required for this item as per the Council Resolution outlined below.
1. That Council note the minutes and recommendations of the Sustainable Economy Committee Meeting held on 3 March 2016 amended to show that Cr Cameron was an apology and not in attendance.

Need to get rid of Cigarette Beetles?
The cigarette beetle got its name from its reputation for attacking stored products (namely tobacco). This is why a major sign of their presence is holes on the sides of boxes.
The cigarette beetle is quite small and light brown. They are fliers, and the most common time to see them out and about would be on late afternoons, early evenings and cloudy days (they aren’t huge fans of bright light).
One defense tactic, when they’re spotted, is for them to “play dead”.
Cigarette beetles love packaged food. The most common types of food they infest are pet foods and spices, followed by flour, cereal and pasta. They’ve also been known to infest books, leather, silk and old museum specimens.
If you see the signs of a cigarette beetle infestation, you’ll want to inspect all potential products they may have infiltrated. If you think they’ve infested specific products, you’d be wise to throw them away.
Once you’ve deemed what’s still ‘safe’, you should run a vacuum (or give a thorough wipe) to the infested area. This will remove any crumbs or leftover residue. To be even safer, you can transfer food products to sealed containers.
Homeowners are able to apply insecticide and pest control products themselves, however, it can be difficult to hit all the cracks and crevices that cigarette beetles are using to enter. For this reason, we recommend calling professionals to handle the infestation.
Not to mention, cigarette beetles can repopulate rapidly. That means if your treatment misses a few adults, they can quickly regrow their numbers.
The Bug Man uses environmentally-friendly products and is the top option for pest control in Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA. Call us to schedule a treatment.

What Is a Patriot Bond and What Can You Do With It?
How Much Is a $500 Bill Worth Today?
If you’re a high-net-worth individual — a so-called HNWI — private banking is a must-have resource for managing your financial life. Among other things, a private banking relationship gives you an outside perspective on your financial decisions, helps you find investment opportunities and aids in the management of your assets.
But before moving forward with a private banking relationship, it’s important to recognize that this service may not be the best solution for your goals. Careful analysis of the services offered by a bank can help weigh the pros and cons of a private banking relationship.
Private banking is a personalized banking experience, specifically for wealthy individuals, families and businesses. Typically, HNWIs with family or personal fortunes valued at $1 million or more make use of this service. These services nearly always include the services of a dedicated banker, who provides one-on-one assistance and financial advice to clients.
According to Ken Tumin, founder of DepositAccounts.com, a LendingTree website, it is a service that really helps busy people cut down on time spent dealing with the minute details of banking, such as deposits, withdrawals, a change in address, or help with a new debit card.
Because these relationships offer such specialized attention, the service isn’t available to everyone. In order to qualify for this service, a potential client needs to have deposited a very high minimum amount — typically $250,000 to $1 million — with a bank, or simply possess a very high net worth in the millions, before they are considered for these services. According to Tumin, funds invested with a bank can be through assets, accounts, or a mixture of both.
At its core, it offers standard banking services and solutions that are tailored to be quick and streamlined. Customers are able to contact their private banker on the phone or through email on their own schedule.
This easy access to simple banking services can be extremely helpful when it comes to the little details. Take, for instance, losing a debit card while traveling overseas. A private banker — for example, The Private Bank by Wells Fargo, which offers 24/7 support for their customers — would be available to offer near-immediate assistance and expedite the shipment of the card.
Private banking also means fewer fees — this is another reward for big deposits. With Chase Bank’s Private Client service, checking and savings account fees, worldwide ATM fees and even fees on wire transfers are all waived. Chase Private Bank also allows higher deposit and withdrawal limits, access to a free safe deposit box and free personal checks.
This service also offers the option for multiple debit cards on the account so the entire family has access, as well as the ability to set spending limits. There are also options for new investment opportunities, and special access to competitive rates and discounts when opening new lines of credit. Some banks even offer financial planning to help grow your wealth.
Is private banking worth it?
If you are unable to meet the minimum requirements for private banking, don’t worry. Tumin believes that private banking relationships don’t provide much value overall, especially if the customer is required to maintain a high balance in a low-interest account.
“If you have $250,000 in a savings account, you might get a little extra boost of interest, but it will probably only be 0.1%. If that’s the case, you have to figure out if the loss of interest is worth the benefits,” said Tumin.
If you are required to maintain a high balance in a low interest account, Tumin recommends looking into brokerage firms which would be able to invest your money at a much higher ROI. “Someone that has a lot of wealth would be better off investing in mutual funds and ETFs through a brokerage firm. Plus, many also offer tax management services,” he said.
The rest of us aren’t missing out on much when it comes to private banking, according to Tumin. “Many banks offer free checking accounts, and high interest within accounts,” which means customers that don’t hit the $250,000 minimum can still reap some of the same benefits.
Savings bonds are intrinsically tied to American ideals, serving as a way for American citizens to grow and save their money while supporting the country.
They were originally conceived by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help finance World War II. The Patriot Bond was created after the devastating attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
A Patriot Bond is a special paper Series EE savings bond created in direct response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. Sold from December 2001 through December 2011, the bond provided a tangible way for Americans to support the country’s reaction to the attacks, as proceeds from the bonds went to an anti-terrorism government fund. A Patriot Bond can be identified by the words “Patriot Bond” printed at the top, in between the owner’s Social Security number and the date the bond was issued.
While the bond may have a unique name, it functions like a standard EE paper savings bond. The bond could be purchased for between $25 and $10,000. It was government-backed, making it a low-risk option for Americans to grow their money.
Each bond was assigned a fixed interest rate that guaranteed the bond would grow in value over time. And just like Series EE savings bonds today, Patriot Bonds could be purchased for a variety of uses, such as saving for retirement, growing a college fund or simply to give as a gift. The Patriot Bond was discontinued in 2012 when the Treasury switched to electronic bonds.
Can I redeem a Patriot Bond if I have one today?
The short answer is yes. While EE bonds typically cannot be redeemed until after 12 months has passed from the date of purchase, the last Patriot Bond was printed well beyond that time frame, making it eligible for redemption. But there are some things to consider before heading to your bank to redeem it.
Ken Tumin, founder of DepositAccounts — which, like MagnifyMoney, is owned by LendingTree — said there are a few conditions you need be aware of before redeeming. Patriot Bonds mature in the same fashion as an EE savings bond, which means they earn interest every year for 30 years. So the longer you have the bond, the more it will be worth. Once the bond hits the 30-year mark, the bond stops accruing interest and reaches maturity, making it the perfect time to redeem.
Tumin said Patriot Bonds, as well as all Series EE bonds, are guaranteed to double in value after 20 years, but you might not need to wait so long. “If someone got a Patriot Bond in 2002, interest rates were much higher back then, so [the bond] could have doubled already,” he said.
If your bond has not yet fully matured, it may be in your best interest to convert it to an electronic bond, which will be helpful if you lose or damage a paper one. TreasuryDirect.gov — part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service — has a feature called SmartExchange that can convert your paper bonds into electronic bonds. Electronic bonds are much more efficient when compared to paper bonds. They can be redeemed anytime through the Treasury’s website, as well as transferred easily to another owner.
How do I redeem my bond, and can I take it all?
If you are interested in redeeming your Patriot Bond, you can head to almost any bank to exchange it for cash. In general, paper bonds come with no limitations on how much of the bond’s value you can redeem at once, but some banks may have their own restrictions.
A Patriot Bond can also be redeemed through the Treasury Retail Securities Services. To redeem this way, you must have a certifying officer from a local bank certify your signature on the back of the bond. Once certified, you must then mail the bonds, your Social Security number and the Treasury’s direct deposit form to Treasury Retail Securities Services.
I have a Series I savings bond. Do I cash this in differently?
While Patriot Bonds were printed as Series EE savings bonds, you may be in the possession of a Series I bond. The value of a Series I bond is determined differently since part of the bond’s interest rate is based on inflation (thus the “I” in the name).
Tumin said the bond is first assigned a fixed interest rate that stays with the bond over its lifetime. Then, the bond is given an inflation rate. The inflation rate changes every six months in accordance with the inflation rate, which the Treasury announces on the first business day every May and November. The fixed rate and inflation rates are combined when determining the overall value of the bond.
Just like the EE bonds, an I bond can be cashed 12 months after the date of purchase. The bond also reaches full value maturity after 30 years.
How can I find out how much my Patriot Bond is worth?
Determining the worth of your Patriot Bond is pretty easy.
TreasuryDirect has a simple calculator you can use to find out the value of the bond. You can also use the calendar to see the expected value of the bond in the years to come, which will help determine when you would like to redeem the bond.
Joint checking accounts are accounts with two or more owners, and opening one can be a big step for a relationship. They can help streamline household income, simplify your financial life and can be used positively as a vehicle to effectively manage everyday expenses.
Luke and Amber Olney, a married couple from Bourbonnais, Ill., both saw the process of creating a joint checking account as a moment of growth in their marriage, they told MagnifyMoney.
But with a second person on your account, you also open the door to potential pitfalls, which could lead to both financial problems and tension in the relationship. Because opening a joint checking account can be such a big, and very personal decision, it is necessary to understand the benefits and risks involved.
Simplification. Opening a joint checking account comes with a variety of benefits for both you and your partner. According to Elizabeth Buffardi, a certified financial advisor in Oak Brook, Ill., one of the more obvious benefits to a joint checking account is simplifying your household’s finances. Having a one-stop account for the money needed to fund your monthly mortgage or rent, groceries, utility bills and other regular expenses, can help set you up for success to manage your expenses wisely. Opening a joint account can also expand the number of checking account options available to you. Combining your household incomes could mean you’d hit minimum balance thresholds required by higher tier checking accounts, which could mean less fees and earning higher interest rates.
You can get twice as much FDIC coverage. FDIC insurance offers protection for up to $250,000 per account also per account holder. So, if you both jointly own an account you are technically protected up to $500,000.
Building trust. A joint checking account could also help facilitate trust within the relationship. In Buffardi’s experience with married couples, she’s seen the process of creating a joint checking account as a moment of accountability for both parties. The dual access provides insight into the other’s spending habits, operating as a second eye on their purchasing decisions.
Increased risk. While a joint checking account can come with great benefits, there are risks involved as well. With both parties allowed equal access to the account, including the ability to make withdrawals without any approval needed, a “risky spender” could open the door to financial ruin if one is not careful. Buffardi has seen risky spenders drain joint checking accounts through excessive shopping, especially through debit card usage, online and in store. Habits like this can lead to expensive overdraft fees, missed bill payment, and the inability to fund the day-to-day household needs, such as purchasing groceries.
Since both parties attached to a joint checking account are responsible for the funding of the account, as well as liable for all fees associated, it is important to establish safety measures to maintain financial security.
Set ground rules. One of the best ways to protect yourself is to come up with a budget both parties agree on and know that they can stick to. According to Buffardi, “the goal of going through a budgeting exercise is not to limit you. A budget is there to make sure you’re spending money on things that give you joy, while still maintaining your household expenses and growing your savings.” Buffardi recommends working together to create a budget that you can both follow, and to check in regularly with each other. Open and constant communication about finances will ensure that you are still on the same page.
Use a hybrid approach. In a situation where someone in the relationship has poor spending habits, it can be helpful to have a second checking account separate from the joint account. The account can be used to hold budgeted spending money set aside for the risky spender to shop with, and the debit card for the joint account should be taken away. In Buffardi’s experience, a debit card can be the tool that puts couples in jeopardy with their finances as it can be viewed by some as “free money”, easily swiped and scanned.
How do you know if you’re ready for a joint checking account?
Have an open conversation. Deciding to open a joint checking account can be a big step in a relationship, so the conversation might be a difficult one to have. Buffardi recommends being completely honest with your partner about your financial situation, and to remain sensitive to their reaction.
While some couples, like the Olneys, see it as a natural progression of their relationship, others can have a completely different outlook on a joint checking account.
Buffardi advises approaching the conversation with care, and to be open to the possibility that your partner may not yet be comfortable with the idea.
A joint checking account isn’t for everyone, or right for every couple. Buffardi recommends that if you’re uncomfortable talking openly about finances and are not quite ready for your partner to have insight into your regular spending habits, it is probably not the best time to open a joint account. In that case, she recommends coming to an agreement on who will be responsible for household expenses, and to continue to still stick to a budget. However, Buffardi highly advises maintaining a joint savings account no matter what. Having multiple savings accounts across multiple banks can mean less income from interest earned on the account over time. Depositing into one savings account with the highest interest rate will yield the most growth for the account, setting you and your partner up for a healthy financial future regardless of whether you have a joint checking account.

Have you finally decided that you want to launch a fresh career as an ultrasound technician in Brandon SD? If you have, you are about to begin one of the most exciting jobs in the health care field. However, you’re going to require the appropriate training and there are some great ultrasound technician schools near Brandon SD. This training and education will be the cornerstone to your success as a diagnostic medical sonographer.You will find tons of different colleges and training programs out there for ultrasound technicians. But how do you know which one will be the right one for you? As with any other profession, you will find several crucial things you must take into consideration prior to signing up for any training program and sonography training is no different.
Listed here are five things you might need to consider before selecting an ultrasound technician program.
The initial thing you should look at is the school’s accreditation. This is necessary as you want to make sure you will be receiving the best education . Every sonography technician training school really should be accredited by the CAAHEP or a similar accrediting body in your State.
The next detail to consider with regards to your ultrasound technician training program is the focus. Some colleges place greater focus on how to work in a clinical setting, and some focus more on mastering the actual technology of sonography.
Another important element you must consider is the practical education experience. This is your hands-on training , and this is where you can expect to actually be instructed how to use your ultrasound machinery. Some educational institutions devote a lot more time on the laboratory training than others. If your school is not spending a lot of time with hands on teaching, you want to ask the reason why. In most States it is necessary to obtain a minimum amount of clinical hours documented until you are eligible to apply for licensing.
Something else you should consider is your class size. The enrollment in your training can vary greatly from school to school . Be certain to find out how big the classes are at the facility you will be going to because this will give you a good idea of how much one-on-one teaching you should expect.
The last matter you ought to consider before choosing an ultrasound technician program is the success rate of the school you’re looking at. Be certain to find out how many people graduate from the course, what their feedback was, and the number of them have moved on to become ultrasound techs.
Looking at these important steps prior to choosing an ultrasound technician school can certainly make your selection a lot easier and enable you to become the most effective sonographer you can possibly be. Now that your decision is made its the time to prepare for the adventure that lies ahead, exactly what should you expect during your sonography training?
Ultrasound technician training consists of educating students how to recognize and understand an array of medical conditions by employing sound wave technology to capture images of bodily organs and human tissue. There are many accredited schools which offer this type of instruction, which includes clinical, laboratory and classroom instruction.
Technicians allocate the majority of their time in school acquiring the techniques needed to operate and manage ultrasound equipment . This enables them to create medical images through the use of ultrasound methods. Generally, companies want sonographers to have obtained training from accredited programs and to have taken and passed the examination created by the ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers).
Those employed in this field should be proficient in human anatomy, medical terms as well as patient assessment. Superior communication skills are required to ease any worries or nerves a patient might have as they undergo technical procedures. An eye for high quality imagery in addition to skills in choosing and evaluating images are likewise generally necessary.
Formal education will be acquired by enrolling in a training program offered by ultrasound technician training programs, universities and colleges. The majority of aspiring ultrasound technicians choose to register in 2-year associate’s degree programs, however bachelor degree programs are also offered. Hopefuls will have to possess a high school diploma with coursework having been completed in math, common sciences and health.
An Associate of Science in Ultrasound Technology study course specializes in teaching students in the use of medical imaging technology, in order to recognize different medical problems and the treatments that should be considered . This diagnostic medical sonography training degree requires quite a few hours spent in community health-care facilities, practical training in practice labs and in-class lectures . Typically , the topics of patient treatment procedures, medical ethics, anatomy and physiology, simple physics and acoustic physics, are taught. Additional classes in abdominal scanning, vascular technology and obstetrics , can also be offered.
Normally, this program requires 4 years to complete, and delivers an in-depth examination of an assortment of ultrasound specialties that are necessary for graduates to be employed as researchers, administrators or shift supervisors. Knowledge in gynecological, obstetrics and abdominal ultrasound procedures is acquired through clinical internships and classroom instruction. With a B.S. degree you will be in the upper half of all sonographers in terms of education and according to the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers is over $65,000.
While the completion of an ultrasound technician training program is sufficient to get entry-level careers in the field, up to five years of ultrasound experience is necessary for better salaried assignments that come with greater responsibility, for instance administration and management positions.
Ultrasound Technicians do not need to be certified ; however, the majority of organizations would prefer to hire sonographers that possess credentials from a certifying body, such as the ARMDS. The reason being certification provides proof that an individual has the skills and expertise necessary to work effectively and efficiently.
Trainees planning to achieve a RDMS certificate will have to pass the certifying test set by the ARDMS . Once the examination is passed, a specified amount of units in continuing education will have to be completed, if you want to maintain your certification. This type of ultrasound technician training can include a number of different specialties, for instance abdominal, nervous system or breast imaging.

As mountain bikers we spend a small fortune on kit. We buy the latest bike, components and accessories in the belief that it will make us better riders and enhance our enjoyment of the sport. Let’s face it, who doesn’t like some shiny new kit? And to be fair, some items do add to your experience. But nothing is more satisfying than improving your mountain bike skills!
I’ve seen lots of confident riders with their own little Achilles heels; don’t like drops, hate steeps, terrified of roots etc. Sometimes these skills gaps can just slow you down and have you serving up the excuses to your friends when you finally catch up at the foot of the trail. Sometimes they can mean the difference between being able to ride a trail and having to get off and push.
One option is to become adept at choosing rides or runs that omit your ‘pet hates’. You can kid yourself that you’re becoming a better rider. You never fall off right? Trouble is, you’re always left with that secret sense of disappointment at not conquering your demons. A much better option is to identify your weaknesses and get some help. For less than the cost of a set of carbon handlebars you could have a full day of coaching. Have someone show you where you’re going wrong and move you past those pesky sticking points. The joy of a new bike component soon wears off. The satisfaction of confidently blasting through trails that used to scare you, will last for the rest of your riding career.
My courses run at Dalby Forest, Hamsterley Forest & Stainburn Forest.
Mission MTB coaching is always in small groups (no more than 6 riders). This ensures you get lots of personal attention. You’ll receive personalised coaching and guidance along with slow-motion video analysis, to help move your technique to the next level.
Choose training. Choose improvement. Get on a mission!
Avoid rookie mistakes. This course is designed to give you the base skills and confidence to get started with mountain biking.
The aim of this course is to give you the tools to improve your riding & improve your confidence on more technical terrain.
Gain the techniques required for getting comfortable with your wheels leaving the ground.
Want to work on something specific, or just learn with your mates? Private lessons are for you.

It clamps blades up to 8" wide (including hand-plane blades) for sharpening on PSA-backed abrasives. Just stick the abrasive to a flat surface (plate glass works well), adjust the elevating screw until the bevel is flat on the abrasive, and use it as you would any other honing guide. After basic sharpening, switch to a fine abrasive, and hone a fine micro-bevel. Two position stops ensure that successive blades are honed identically. It is both easy and effective, letting you quickly restore blades that you would probably let become far duller before sending out for service.
Made of cast aluminum with brass and steel fittings. It comes with a half sheet (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") of 15 micron (aprox.1000 grit) 3M micro-abrasive film. This PSA-backed film is also available in 5 micron (aprox. 2500 grit).

This article is about Ivysaur's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For other uses, see Ivysaur. Also, for information about Ivysaur in regards to Pokémon Trainer, see Pokémon Trainer (SSBU), Squirtle (SSBU), and Charizard (SSBU).
Ivysaur is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Along with the Pokémon Trainer, Ivysaur is classified as fighter #34.
Ivysaur's English and Japanese voices are now provided by Justin Anselmi and Inuko Inuyama, its current voice actors as of Pokémon the Series: XY.
Ivysaur was previously considered the worst Pokémon in the Pokemon Trainer's party and one of the worst characters in Brawl (especially if judged as a standalone fighter), due to its large amount of significant weaknesses, namely short range on its attacks, notable KO problems due to laggy finishers, bad aerial game, terrible recovery and one of the worst special movesets in the game. Likely as a result of this, Ivysaur has been heavily buffed in its transition to Ultimate.
Ivysaur's biggest buffs come from the adjustments to the Pokémon Trainer's mechanics alongside universal gameplay changes. The type effectiveness mechanic (which previously gave Ivysaur a disproportionate weakness to the common flame-type attacks throughout the cast) has been removed, while the elimination of stamina allows Ivysaur to stay in the fight without weakening its moves. The removal of edgehogging, the introduction of ledge trumping, and the various changes to tether recoveries have substantially toned down a critical weakness in Ivysaur's recovery, due to its reliance on one. Ivysaur's air speed is also much higher and it can switch to Charizard at any time in the air to return to the stage. The changes to SDI also heavily benefits Ivysaur's multi hit moves as they are more reliable than previously.
Ivysaur's entire moveset has also been modified and is significantly more useful overall. The addition of a finisher and the changes to neutral infinites makes its neutral attack more consistent, while down tilt now consists of only one hit that semi-spikes. Some of Ivysaur's notoriously weak attacks, such as down smash and back aerial, have had their power increased, with down smash now having a sweetspot that can KO at realistic percents. Ivysaur's entire aerial game has received several improvements: it has a new, disjointed neutral aerial that performs much better than its old one, previously a situational move that was easy to escape. Up and down aerials' momentum changes are less extreme, and down aerial's infamously weak and hard-to-sweetspot meteor smash has been buffed significantly, losing its sourspot and now functioning as a powerful edgeguarding tool, while the changes to grounded meteor smashes grant it extremely rewarding setups at a wide percent range, including into up smash. In addition, Ivysaur's throw game has been heavily improved as it now has a KO throw in the form of back throw, alongside increased followups from up throw and down throw due to the changes to hitstun canceling. Lastly, its entire special moveset has been improved: Bullet Seed now has a finisher, Razor Leaf's infamously unreliable trajectory is now more consistent, which makes it a noticeably better projectile, and Vine Whip no longer causes helplessness, which grants Ivysaur a new offstage attack and combo finisher.
However, Ivysaur still retains many key flaws from Brawl. Many of Ivysaur's weakest attacks are still ineffective for KOing despite their buffs, while some (such as forward and back aerials) send at a diagonal trajectory that make them mediocre for edgeguarding. It has also received a few nerfs: Bullet Seed has had its maximum damage output significantly reduced, and Vine Whip has lost its grounded hitbox that leads into the vine. Ivysaur is still one of the few characters entirely dependent on a tether recovery, giving it notable problems offstage, which is further harmed by tethers no longer being usable out of an air dodge. Some of Ivysaur's stronger kill moves such as up smash, forward aerial and up aerial are weaker and finally, the reduction to Ivysaur's weight and the removal of momentum canceling hinders its survivability.
Regardless of its nerfs, Ivysaur has improved dramatically since its introduction in Brawl, especially in relation to the rest of the cast, and is generally agreed upon to now be the Pokémon Trainer's best Pokémon, as opposed to the worst as in Brawl. It now performs more effectively as a character in the Pokémon Trainer's party, fulfilling the role of the "zoning" fighter with disjointed range on its attacks, a conventional projectile, and setups into its powerful bud-based moves.
Ivysaur's design and proportions have changed. Its flower bud now has multiple layers of petals and a smoother texture. Its pupils and ears are slightly larger, and its toes are much less pronounced. It patches have also been re-positioned. It is more vibrantly colored overall, with its skin being a lighter shade of blue and its flower bud being a lighter shade of pink with its leaves being a lighter shade of green. In addition, Ivysaur's teeth and toes are white instead of beige. Due to these changes, it now matches match its appearance in more recent Pokémon games.
Ivysaur is much more expressive than it was in Brawl.
Ivysaur always faces the screen regardless of which direction it turns, causing all of its animations to be mirrored.
Opponents now grab Ivysaur by its body, instead of its flower bud.
Ivysaur has a new victory animation, where it performs Vine Whip in front of itself a couple of times. This replaces the victory pose where it walks in place a few times.
The victory pose where Ivysaur backflips now has it land upright, as opposed to landing on its belly.
Like all characters, Ivysaur's jumpsquat animation now takes 3 frames to complete (down from 5).
Ivysaur walks faster (1.05 → 1.1103).
Ivysaur dashes faster (1.5 → 1.595).
Ivysaur's air speed is much faster (0.752 → 0.998).
Ivysaur's crawling speed is slower.
Ivysaur's fall speed is slightly higher (1.35 → 1.38).
Ivysaur's gravity is higher (0.07 → 0.82).
Ivysaur weighs less (100 → 96), reducing its survivability. While this would reduce its susceptibility to combos, a combination of its higher fall speed/gravity and the removal of hitstun canceling make it more vulnerable to combos than in Brawl.
The removal of type effectiveness benefits Ivysaur significantly more than Squirtle as it improves Ivysaur's endurance against flame attacks, as it was previously notoriously vulnerable to them.
However, this also hinders Ivysaur's endurance against water based attacks (which are slightly more prevalent than in Brawl) and it reduces the KO potential of Ivysaur's grass attacks against Squirtle.
The removal of edgehogging improves Ivysaur's tether-dependent recovery.
The removal of meteor canceling both helps and hinders Ivysaur. While it improves the reliability of its newly improved down aerial, it also makes Ivysaur significantly more vulnerable to meteor smashes as it previously had one of the most lenient meteor cancel windows in Brawl.
Forward roll has less ending lag (frame 33 → 31).
Rolls have a shorter duration (frames 4-19 → 4-15) and back roll has more ending lag (frame 33 → 36).
Air dodge has less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 4-29 → 3-29).
Air dodge has more ending lag (frame 40 → 56).
Spotdodge has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 2-20 → 3-17) and ending lag if it is not cancelled with an attack (frame 26 → 27).
Neutral attack's neutral infinite now has a finishing hit: a double vine slap. This makes it less punishable. The first two hits can now also lock opponents due to their altered angles (30° (hit 1), 85° (hit 2) → 361°/180° (both)) and the second hit has less startup lag (frame 7 → 5).
The infinite can now be used manually by inputting the attack button a third time instead of automatically transitioning after the second hit. The infinite is also more difficult to escape due to the weakening of SDI.
The first hit deals less damage (3% → 2%) and has a shorter duration (frames 7-9 → 7-8).
Forward tilt has increased range and connects more reliably.
Forward tilt has more startup lag (frame 6 → 10), ending lag (frame 42 → 46) and deals less damage (14% → 11%).
Up tilt has less startup (frame 9 → 7) and ending lag (frame 35 → 33).
Up tilt has less horizontal range and deals less knockback (50/60 (base), 100/90 (scaling) → 85/61).
Down tilt hits once instead of twice.
Down tilt has less ending lag (frame 38 → 32).
Down tilt deals less damage (2% (hit 1), 5% (hit 2) → 5.5%) and knockback (60 (base), 100 (scaling) → 50/65).
Dash attack has a new animation, with Ivysaur performing a shoulder charge/headbutt.
Dash attack has a shorter duration (frames 4-20 → 4-19) and the clean hit has reduced knockback scaling (70 → 57) hindering its KO potential.
Forward smash has less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 17-19 → 15-20).
Forward smash now has a sourspot towards the end of the move that deals slightly less damage (14%). The sweetspot also deals less knockback (20 (base), 99 (scaling) → 45/78) and can also no longer lock or trip opponents at lower percents due to its higher base knockback.
Up smash has a new animation where Ivysaur jumps up before the move comes out.
Up smash has a larger hitbox (11u → 13u).
Up smash has reduced knockback (80 (base), 90 (scaling) → 78/78) no longer being the strongest in the game.
Down smash can deal more damage, with the damage being greater towards the tips of the vines (8% → 12% (far)/10% (mid)/8% (near)). The sweetspots are semi-spikes (361° → 34°/30°) which deal more knockback (40 (base), 80 (scaling) → (45/84)/(50/77)). The near hit of the attack has identical damage and knockback to its former counterpart.
Down smash has increased range. It also has less startup (frame 16 → 13) and ending lag (frame 64 → 46).
Neutral aerial has a new animation: Ivysaur points its bud towards the screen and spins its leaves, hitting 8 times.
Neutral aerial deals less damage overall (2% (hits 1-7) → 1% (hits 1-7), 2% (final hit)).
Neutral aerial has increased range, and its hitboxes are disjointed.
The final hit has altered knockback (10 (base), 220 (scaling) → 30/200).
Neutral aerial has more startup lag (frame 4 → 7), landing lag (11 frames → 16) and auto-cancels later (frame 35 → 41) no longer doing so in a short hop. The final hit can also no longer lock opponents.
Forward aerial no longer has a sourspot, consistently dealing 12% damage. It also has less startup lag (frame 15 → 14), ending lag (frame 51 → 49) and landing lag (28 frames → 13).
Forward aerial deals less knockback (35 (base), 103 (scaling) → (51/81/81/90)/(76/46/46/45).
Back aerial's second hit no longer has a sourspot.
Back aerial deals more damage (2% → 3% (hit 1), 2%/3% → 6% (hit 2)) although the knockback on the second hit was compensated (10 (base), 160/170 (scaling) → 25/110). It also has less ending lag (frame 46 → 44) and landing lag (10 frames → 7).
Back aerial's first hit has more startup lag (frame 4 → 7) and has increased knockback scaling (20 → 27). Back aerial can also no longer auto-cancel in a short hop due to Ivysaur's faster falling speed.
Both hits of back aerial have slightly less range.
Up aerial no longer causes Ivysaur to fast fall, instead just giving it a moderate amount of downwards momentum. This makes it easier to use as a conventional aerial attack and less risky to use offstage. Ivysaur can still fast fall manually when using up aerial, allowing it to mix up its positioning when using the move.
Up aerial has less landing lag (22 frames → 11). This change when combined with the removal of hitstun canceling grants it much more juggling potential on stages such as Battlefield.
Up aerial has altered knockback (32 (base), 97 (scaling) → 64/72).
Up aerial deals slightly less damage (16% → 15%) hindering its KO potential slightly, though it is still one of the strongest up aerials in the game.
Down aerial's sourspot angle has changed (50 → 270), now being the same as the sweetspot. This means that all hits of the move meteor smash.
Down aerial's sweetspot is much larger (2.2u → 7u), improving the ability to hit with the sweetspot.
Down aerial's sweetspot deals more damage (8% → 10%), dealing as much as the sourspot.
Down aerial's knockback has been altered (20 (base), 80 (scaling) (clean), 32/92 (sour) → (27/17/9/9)/(80/62/98/68).
Down aerial has less landing lag (28 frames → 13).
Down aerial no longer halts Ivysaur's horizontal momentum as much as before.
Due to the removal of hitstun canceling, down aerial's strong meteor smash capabilities can be used to set up tech traps against opponents who are launched off the ground, granting it newfound combo potential. The sourspot has also gained the ability to lock opponents. The removal of meteor canceling also improves the move's reliability off stage.
Standing and dash grabs have less ending lag (frame 51 → 42 (standing), frame 50 → 49 (dash).
Pivot grab has more ending lag (frame 37 → 45).
Pummel deals less damage (3% → 1.3%).
Forward throw deals more damage (8% → 10%).
Forward throw now consists of a hit and then a throw (8% → 5% (hit), 5% (throw)) although the knockback on the throw was compensated (60 (base), 55 (scaling) → 80/60).
Back throw deals more damage (10% → 12%).
Up throw deals less damage (10% → 4% (hit), 5% (throw), 9% (total)) and the knockback on the throw wasn't compensated enough (70 (base), 72 (scaling) → 75/95), hindering its KO potential.
Down throw has altered knockback (83 (base), 50 (scaling) → 44/122) improving its combo potential at lower percents and improving its KO potential at higher percents.
Down throw deals less damage (10% → 7%) and its altered knockback hinders its followup potential at higher percents.
Floor attacks deal more damage (6% → 7%).
Edge attack deals more damage than the previous fast edge attack, but less than the previous slow edge attack (8%/6% (fast), 10% (slow) → 9%).
Bullet Seed's maximum duration is reduced (5 seconds → 2 seconds). It also has more startup lag (frame 4 → 7).
Bullet Seed's maximum potential damage is reduced (~60% → ~20%).
Bullet Seed now has a finishing hit, making it less punishable. It also has less ending lag (frame 86 → 80).
Bullet Seed's seeds are larger but less numerous.
Razor Leaf travels faster. It also has less ending lag (frame 51 → 47).
Razor Leaf's tap input variant travels further.
Razor Leaf's random trajectory has been made significantly less variable, greatly improving its consistency.
Vine Whip no longer causes helplessness in the air, and it can be used repeatedly.
Vine Whip can now be angled, allowing the attack's reach to be more vertical or more horizontal.
Vine Whip on the ground consistently deals 11% damage for non-sweetspot hits, matching the aerial version. Previously, it had various lower damage amounts for different parts of the vine. It also has less startup lag (frame 21 → 15).
Vine Whip is less reliable as a tether recovery when used close to the ledge resulting in Ivysaur missing the ledge more often when trying to use Vine Whip.
Vine Whip on the ground no longer has a hitbox directly in front of Ivysaur. It also has a shorter duration (frames 21-25 → 15-17).
Vine Whip can no longer be performed out of an air dodge.
Pokémon Change is much faster due to no longer having to load the next Pokémon during every switch, and it can now be used in the air. Like in Brawl, it also offers brief invincibility upon switching out, though the quicker switch time allows it to potentially combo into another Pokémon's moves, or function somewhat as an alternative "air dodge". It also allows the user to choose the recovery that suits a situation best.
Spamming Pokémon Change will grant no invincibility frames for a period of time, and has a cooldown of around 2 seconds. This cooldown can be skipped if a special move is used. Additionally, Pokémon Change no longer resets stale move negation, and if it is performed off the edge of a moving platform, it will no longer skip the ending lag of the switch.
Pokémon Change will refresh ledge invincibility if used in the air. This even works if the move is spammed, as the new Pokémon is considered a different character grabbing the ledge. This gives Pokémon Trainer a unique stall option.
Pokemon Trainer's Final Smash, Triple Finish, has a different textbox that closely resembles the aesthetics of the Generation VII Pokémon games.
Ivysaur's attack, Solar Beam, has updated graphics.
Razor Leaf deals less shield damage.
2% Ivysaur whips a vine, then another if the button is pressed again. If the button is pressed repeatedly or if the first two hits connects, it then begins a series of rapid vine slaps, with a finishing hit at the end. The first two hits can jab reset.
1.5% (hits 1-6), 2% (hit 7) Ivysaur leans forward and spins the leaves around its bulb like a helicopter blade, hitting multiple times. Has decent range in front of Ivysaur, but contrary to its looks, the move cannot hit behind Ivysaur. Has a slight amount of startup. Hits 7 times, with the last hit dealing decent horizontal knockback, though with low knockback growth. Ivysaur's only tilt with KO potential, though it KOs very late at around 185% from the edge of Final Destination.
7% Ivysaur pushes its vines against the ground to propel itself upwards. Decent upwards knockback and good upwards range, but it lacks hitboxes beside Ivysaur, making it difficult to hit grounded opponents. Can lead into aerials at low percents. Due to it lifting Ivysaur's hurtbox upwards, it can dodge certain ground-level attacks.
5.5% Ivysaur whips a vine quickly along the ground in front of it. Very fast, can hit opponents hanging on ledges, and deals semi-spike knockback of mild strength, but deals very low damage while lacking followup options due to its ending lag. Useful as a poking option, or as an approach option out of a dash.
12% (clean), 10% (late) Ivysaur leaps forward in a sliding tackle. Fast startup with decent base knockback, which sends opponents diagonally upwards; however, it has significant difficulty KOing due to its angle and low knockback growth, only doing so around 185% from the edge of Final Destination. The late hit of the move deals much less knockback, but at the same angle.
16% (clean), 14% (late) Ivysaur plants its vines on the ground and launches its body forward in a tackle before landing where it started. The move can be angled up or down, though its power does not change. Deals good knockback, is rather fast, and has deceptively good range, although it shifts Ivysaur's hurtbox forward and has noticeable ending lag. The earliest hit deals the most knockback and damage, and can KO at 85% from the edge of Final Destination.
Exploding Flower 17% Ivysaur looks upward and, after a brief pause, launches a burst of spores from its bulb above itself. A very powerful move that deals vertical knockback. It is Ivysaur's most damaging regular attack and one of the strongest up smashes in the game, but it has extremely high startup and ending lag, making it suited for hard punishes. Additionally, while it has a large hitbox, it lacks in horizontal range. KOs at 83% on Final Destination.
12% (far), 10% (mid), 8% (near) Ivysaur quickly whips two vines across the ground simultaneously, one in front of it and one behind. Ivysaur's fastest smash attack both in terms of startup and endlag, making it rather safe. However, it deals relatively low knockback and damage for an attack of its kind. The tips of Ivysaur's vines deal the most knockback and damage, and they can hit opponents hanging on ledges. The sweetspot KOs at 105% from the edge of Final Destination.
1% (hits 1-7), 2% (hit 8) Ivysaur spins with its bud facing towards the screen, hitting with its leaves. The leaf hitboxes are disjointed. Hits 8 times, with the last hit dealing moderate knockback. Due to its speed, duration and coverage, it is a good move for aerial contesting or approaching. It has noticeable landing lag and cannot autocancel from a short hop, but has deceptively low ending lag, allowing Ivysaur to use another aerial before landing when done from a full hop.
12% Ivysaur slaps forward with a vine. Good overall coverage in front of Ivysaur, though it has some slight startup. Deals diagonal knockback and can true combo into angled Vine Whip at low percents. It can also combo into itself at low percents, though this is not guaranteed. At mid percents, it can potentially chain into an up aerial. Due to its upward angle, it has difficulty KOing offstage, but can KO earlier if the enemy is close to the top blast line. Autocancels from a short hop.
3% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2) Ivysaur spins around vertically and hits behind itself with two vines, one after the other. The first hit is very weak and designed to combo into the second hit, which deals weak diagonal knockback. The first hit can start guaranteed combos once Ivysaur lands, though this may be difficult due to how fast the attack transitions. It has great horizontal range and low landing lag, making it well-suited for spacing. It can set up into itself and other moves, although this is not guaranteed. Additionally, it is very weak, and has significant difficulty KOing due to its angle.
15% Ivysaur shoots a burst of spores upwards from its bulb, which causes Ivysaur to move downwards slightly. If done near the peak of a full hop, Ivysaur will not experience much downwards momentum. A damaging move with a large hitbox above Ivysaur alongside powerful vertical knockback and little startup lag; it is one of the strongest up aerials in the game in terms of damage and knockback. Autocancels from a full hop, and has low landing lag, allowing it to be used in a short hop fast fall to challenge opponents on platforms. Despite its power, it deals low damage to shields.
10% Ivysaur turns upside-down and shoots a burst of spores downwards from its bulb, similarly to up aerial. Ivysaur's descent is stalled slightly when this move is used. Like up aerial, it is a powerful aerial, dealing decent knockback for a meteor smash, while having fast startup and an extremely large disjointed hitbox. The move has a sweetspot closer to the bulb that deals much more knockback, though the sourspot still meteor smashes. It is capable of hitting opponents easily out of a short hop, even from above platforms; at higher percents, it will cause grounded opponents to launch off the floor, allowing Ivysaur to punish missed techs and/or tech-chase with a multitude of moves, including any ground move or Bullet Seed. At even higher percents, up aerial will work as a KO combo at 130%, while up smash can act as a potent hard read from a wide range of percents. Its enormous hitbox allows it to hit most characters below the stage before they can even sweetspot the ledge. As a result, down aerial is one of Ivysaur's most useful aerial moves.
— Ivysaur extends its vines forward to grab an opponent with them. Above average range, but has rather high ending lag for a standard grab.
1.3% Ivysaur headbutts the opponent while holding them with its vines.
5% (hits 1 & 2) Ivysaur holds the opponent in front of itself with its vines and headbutts them forward. The headbutt can affect bystanders. Has too much base knockback for combos and too little knockback growth to KO, hence its only use is to send opponents offstage.
12% Ivysaur swings the opponent with its vines while turning around, tossing them backwards. This causes Ivysaur to turn to face the other direction when it is used. Deals good diagonal knockback, being Ivysaur's most powerful throw in terms of damage and knockback, and KOs rather early at 109% near the edge of Final Destination.
4% (hit 1), 5% (hit 2) Ivysaur holds the opponent above itself with its vines and hits them with its bud, sending them upwards. Has combo potential at low percents, allowing combos into Bullet Seed or up aerial at 0%, or up aerial or Vine whip at around 30%. After 45%, it loses combo potential due to its knockback growth.
7% Ivysaur holds the opponent above itself with its vines and slams them into the ground while doing a frontflip. Ivysaur's best combo throw, which can start combos into up aerial or dash canceled up tilt at 0%. At around 60%, it can lead into Vine Whip, which can KO at around 83% if the sweetspot lands.
7% Ivysaur gets up with a horizontal spin, kicking to each side.
7% Ivysaur whips both sides with its vines as it gets up.
5% Ivysaur stands up and hits both sides with its vines.
9% Ivysaur climbs up and swipes a vine in front of itself. This is the fastest edge attack of the three Pokémon, coming out on frame 21 (as compared to Squirtle's frame 28 and Charizard's frame 24).
Bullet Seed 3% (startup), 1.2-1.5% (seeds), 2% (contact), 3% (final seed) Ivysaur sends a barrage of seeds ascending from its bulb. Ivysaur will continue the move while the button is held, for up to 2 seconds. The seeds deal less damage the further they travel before hitting. There is a hitbox on Ivysaur's body and at its sides when the move is started, to launch opponents into the seeds, and there is also a hitbox on Ivysaur's body during the move, for the same purpose. The last seed Ivysaur fires deals greater knockback, to launch opponents away. The move has a maximum damage output of about 19.4%. Overall, the move is useful for deterring aerial approaches, or racking up damage through combos into it.
Razor Leaf 8% (clean), 6% (mid), 4% (late) Ivysaur flings a single spinning leaf forward as a projectile, which can hit multiple opponents. The leaf has a random moderate curve to its trajectory, though this effect is significantly less noticeable than in Brawl. If the move is performed with a tap input, the leaf's distance and speed are increased. It deals low knockback, making it useful for setting up combos and even KO confirms with up aerial and Vine Whip.
Vine Whip 11% (general), 13% (sweetspot) Ivysaur whips a vine diagonally upwards. The move functions as a tether recovery, and does not cause helplessness. The vine can be angled diagonally forward by holding the directional input forward, and will otherwise aim upwards. Ivysaur will gain a slight upwards boost when the move is used in the air, but only once until it grabs an edge or lands. As an attack, the vine has moderate knockback, but there is a sweetspot at the tip of the vine which deals powerful knockback. Some of Ivysaur's aerials and throws can lead into the sweetspot, allowing for strong combos.
Pokémon Change The Pokémon Trainer calls Ivysaur back by throwing a Poké Ball at it, and then sends out Charizard.
Triple Finish ~50% total The Pokémon Trainer sends out both Squirtle and Charizard, and all three Pokémon perform a combination attack involving powerful trapping attacks with long horizontal range. For Ivysaur's contribution to the attack, it uses Solar Beam, a long beam of energy that traps opponents for repeated damage.
Pokémon Trainer releases Ivysaur from its Poké Ball while saying "Go!" or "Ivysaur!"
Up taunt: Shakes from side to side, spinning its bud and leaves.
Side taunt: Stands on its front legs and walks around while saying "Ivy, Ivy, Ivy." Ivysaur briefly falls over before the taunt ends.
Down taunt: Extends its vines into the air and spins around in a dance, while saying "Saur, Ivy, Ivy."
Steps from side to side.
Looks around, then shakes its body.
During Ivysaur's victory poses, the Pokémon Trainer says randomly either "You all did great!" (male)/"Everyone did great!" (female) or "Way to go, Ivysaur!" (がんばったな、フシギソウ！, while the female Trainer can say がんばったね、フシギソウ！, You did great, Ivysaur!).
Pokémon Trainer pets Ivysaur, and it jumps on him, but Pokémon Trainer puts it back down and continues to pet it.
During the opening cutscene, Ivysaur was sent out by Pokémon Trainer, along with Squirtle and Charizard, shortly before Galeem unleashed his beams of light. Under Pokémon Trainer's command, Ivysaur used Solar Beam in an attempt to fight the beams of light, but this attempt failed. Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard were all vaporized and placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the other fighters, excluding Kirby.
Ivysaur's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Ivysaur in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Ultimate.
Ivysaur in Pokémon Trainer's fighter card.
With Squirtle, Charizard, and a Burrowing Snagret on The Great Cave Offensive.
With Squirtle and Charizard on Skyworld.
Attacking a Leaf Shielding Mega Man on Tortimer Island.
With Squirtle and a giant golden Pikachu on Pokémon Stadium 2.
Taunting with Sheik on Tomodachi Life.
Taunting with Villager on 3D Land.
Ivysaur is the only playable character in Ultimate whose up special is solely a tether recovery. Zero Suit Samus and Olimar each received new up specials in Super Smash Bros. 4, the Ice Climbers' Belay can function without a tether, and Joker's up special is a completely different move when using Arsene.
With Vine Whip no longer causing it to experience helplessness, Ivysaur is now one of the few fighters in the game that is unable to put itself in a helpless state without touching a red trampoline from Pac-Jump.
