They have slumbered for centuries, dreaming of the day when they will rise again. In ancient times, their cults extended into the hearts of great empires. They ruled from temples heaped with skulls that echoed with the discordant chants of the faithful, drawing humanity down a path of slavery and corruption. The Earthbound dream of a world in which humanity exists only to furnish them with power, offering up souls in an unending feast. Now their time has come again.
Demon: The Earthbound details the origins, history and power of these monstrous spirits, revered in the past as gods and twisted by centuries of mortal worship and depraved sacrifice. No longer angels nor wholly demons, the Earthbound are the nightmarish products of divine power and the darkest parts of the human soul.

She was a member of the Women's Royal Air Force.
That is a very nice and touching act of remembrance.
To help commererate the Armistice Sunday 11th, The First City Bus Co. which operates around the Bristol / Bath and surrounding areas it to offer Free Travel to anyone wearing a Poppy. This will apply all day Sunday to allow folks to attend Memorial Services etc. and then return home under no pressure.
What a good idea it would be nice if they did this around the Leeds area but i will not hold my breath.
Social media posts have been appearing online claiming that First Bus will be offering free travel to anyone wearing a poppy on armistice day, however the firm has said that this won't be the case in West Yorkshire. The bus company WILL be offering free bus travel to all members of the armed forces, veterans and cadets on Sunday November 11.
Members of the armed forces who are in uniform, or able to show an identification card, can claim free travel on any First West Yorkshire service for free, enabling them to easily travel to local Remembrance Day events. The offer is also open to members of the cadet forces in uniform and veterans who display valid identification, such as the MOD issued Veteran's Badge. The bus operator said that supporting Remembrance Sunday is of huge importance to the local bus operator as a significant number of its staff, including drivers, are ex-members of the armed forces.
Will Pearson, head of operations at First West Yorkshire, said: “Remembrance Day is an incredibly important occasion for many people to show their support, or remember family members, friends and others who have been lost in military service. We support the Royal British Legion every year, as a significant number of our team come from a military background. “There will be many events and services taking place locally where people, communities and organisations around the area can visit to show their respect. As a supporter of our communities, we want to make it as easy as possible for people to attend local events on this important day.” The free travel offer has been running for a number of years and the Royal British Legion has thanked First Bus for their ongoing support.
There is so much to read o n this so i would say Please have a look although it makes sad reading.
This was also covered in the Daily Telegraph with photos of the three brothers killed in action.
I expect Lupton Avenue in Harehills was named after their father.

Researchers say climate change is already affecting Colorado farms and ranches – but not necessarily in the way people might expect.
Because the state is so dry, farmers here rely on irrigation to raise their crops. But they, and climate researchers, are less concerned about there being enough water than when that water is available. As Maeve Conran reports for our Connecting the Drops series, climate change means spring runoff is coming earlier, and that creates new challenges for farmers.
Mark Guttridge grows vegetables, herbs and flowers on Ollin Farms in Longmont in East Boulder County. He is transitioning from spring crops to vegetables that will ripen in late summer and early fall. Having water available later in the summer is crucial for Guttridge, but he knows from experience that that’s not guaranteed.
Guttridge uses a combination of ditch and municipal water on his 10 acres. He has a safety net being hooked up to the municipal source…being able to turn on the faucet to irrigate his crops. But the part of the farm that relies on water being available in the ditch …that’s more vulnerable. He needs that water to be available at the right time for his crops. But climate researchers like Jeff Lukas, Research Integration Specialist for Colorado and Wyoming with the Western Water Assessment, say that timing is changing.
In 2014 Lukas led the revision of the WWA’s 2008 Climate Change in Colorado report to the Colorado Water Conservation Board. He says there has been a trend toward earlier spring snowmelt and runoff over the past 30 years and those earlier shifts in the run off can be directly attributed to climate change.
Ollin farms in east Boulder County grows vegetables, herbs and flowers on 10 acres which it distributes through a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program and sells at its farm stand.
Taryn Finnessey, the Climate Change Risk Management Specialist with the Colorado Water Conservation Board says the timing of water is crucial if you look at it through the prism of Colorado’s prior appropriations water rights which gives senior water rights holders the ability to take water first.
But Finnessey says there may be some water users who will benefit from this shift.
Those senior water rights holders are often cities and towns who have ample storage to capture that early run off water. Kim Hutton, a water resources engineer with the City of Boulder says when snowpack starts to melt, the city starts filling its reservoirs.
That ability to store water that is coming earlier in the season is crucial says Dave Eckhardt. He’s the President of the Colorado Corn Growers Association and represents that group on the Colorado Agricultural Water Alliance. As a fourth generation corn grower in La Salle Colorado, he has seen first-hand the changes in water resources in the state.
But water storage itself is a complex issue. Some environmental groups have criticized plans for reservoir construction and expansion in the state citing its impact on ecosystems and river health. Climate and water researchers like Jeff Lukas say reservoirs in and off themselves are not a solution to climate change’s impact on water resources.
In other words, a reservoir is only useful if there’s water to fill it. Climate change models predict not just earlier runoff but drier and hotter conditions, leaving all water users scrambling for diminishing resources.
Kim Hutton is a water resources engineer with the City of Boulder. About 70% of the water that the city uses comes from surface waters falling as rain or snow in Middle Boulder Creek or North Boulder Creek, the remaining water comes from the Colorado River, Western Slope Water, which is also surface water, so 100% of the city’s water supply comes from precipitation falling as rain or snow. Hutton says that due to the city’s storage capacity, they might be on the winning end of the equation with earlier snow melt.

If you're working on an art project and you need a large canvas surface to work with, consider making one large canvas piece out of four smaller canvases. Most canvas pieces bought at craft and art stores are stretched over wooden frames, which are ideal for attaching to one another. You can use an electric drill and screws to connect the four canvases, making one large square panel you can customize into a modern painting.
Lay two square canvases of the same shape side by side so two of the edges are touching. Flip each canvas upside down so you can see the inner edges the canvases' frames make.
Drill three screws along the inner edge where the canvases touch, making the screws evenly spaced. You should have two canvas frames attached to one another.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with two new square canvases so that you have two separate pieces made of two canvases screwed together.
Lay the two, two-canvas pieces side by side, the edges touching, Drill the two pieces together using six screws, all evenly spaced. You should have one large, square-shaped canvas panel made up of four smaller canvas frames.
Paint the canvas panel any style you like to create an art form all your own.

There’s so much to say about Soot, she’s a fantastic partner, brave, powerful, and precise in her movements. She has a gorgeous natural wide outrun. She has a presence with sheep that makes them pay attention to her. Her eye allows her to keep a good distance off even the flightiest of sheep to better control them. She’s always working with me, and has proven time and time again steady wins the race. She was my second open level dog I had the great fortune to purchase. Being a natural outrunner, and with her quiet nature, running her is so much fun. She’s taught me so much in just a few years of our partnership.
Together, we’ve placed in multiple trials, in the 2017 trial year we are very excitedly moving up into Open level, which is considered by most to be the professional level.

I’m an Artist, Writer, Animation student and Amateur Game Dev.
Hope you like what I have to offer!
I could add shading to this but I feel I don’t have enough time.
If I would make any adjustments I’d work more on the ending where she flops over so that it’s more clear that she falls over the box and her back is in more of a “C” shape over the box.
This I great. You can really feel the effort and hope that she will get it on the shelf just to be dashed because it’s so darned heavy.
She’s going to do her back in lifting stuff like that. It’s quite convincing.

The Indian legal industry has witnessed unprecedented growth post-economic liberalization in the 1990s. The deregulation and opening up of the Indian market for private investments and international trade led to growing demand for legal services. The growth in the number of law firms is directly correlated to this.. In the last decade, the legal sector claims to have transformed from a family-based partnership model to an industry that is based on merit. The adoption of a “professional” hierarchal structure in law firms, international clients and an emphasis on rankings and branding has followed this trend. But how does this burgeoning legal industry retain its women lawyers? Why do women lawyers disappear as they move up the proverbial corporate food chain?
This question was a starting point for our study Challenges Faced by Indian Women Legal Professionals , on women lawyers in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. In the past decade, the number of women and men graduating from premier National Law Schools has been almost evenly split, but female numbers dwindle after a few years of practice.
Our nine-month study on the legal profession and interviews with 81 women lawyers of which 29 women were litigators unearthed some unsurprising and anticipated findings. Our study, found that women litigators now still cope with the same issues: lack of adequate sanitation facilities, overcrowded women’s bar rooms in courts, and in many cases lesser fees than their male colleagues. Moreover, clients often prefer male lawyers with less experience than women with more experience or skill.
This inherent bias against women has meant that women have to constantly prove themselves. Women litigators in our survey admitted having to constantly prove their mettle and outperform their male peers in order to command equal, if not higher fees. The fact that women are not seen as primary bread winners further encourages clients to get away by paying less to women lawyers.
“When I was practicing in courts, as a woman, a certain tone in argument was often an implicit prerequisite to being given a fair hearing. When I started working part-time after my children were born, clients and colleagues outside my firm perceived me as not a ‘serious’ or a ‘real’ lawyer,” said a partner of a law firm based in Bangalore.
In litigation particularly, networking and socialising with almost entirely male clients proves tougher for women. Even the clients are, in certain circumstances, uncomfortable while working with women. In some cases, clients specifically choose women lawyers based on the assumption that they would command lesser fees than their male contemporaries. This inevitably affects women’s reputation and earnings. Not surprisingly, women lawyers have to fight hard for their rightful fees, which their male counterparts easily command.
Not surprisingly then, fort-five percent of women in our study felt confident of being able to strike a work-life balance. Thirty-one percent felt that work-life balance may be difficult and twenty-four percent shared that they had not even considered this aspect before opting for litigation.
Women who stayed the course in litigation practice eased the pressure through different creative approaches. One respondent opted to draft documents for other litigating lawyers who were short on time. Independent practitioners hired juniors and other legal support staff to assist them in meeting the demands of their work. Others have moved closer to court or converted their homes into offices, hired support staff to manage their homes, and yet some others have life-partners who are in the profession, making the family-professional tug easier to manage. For some others, it has meant limiting the areas of practice or the courts in which they practice.
Unlike women lawyers in law firms and companies, the majority of women lawyers in litigation do not receive any maternity benefit and thus there is often greater financial pressure to return to work. Emphasizing the need for a supportive and encouraging spouse or family, Senior Advocates Pinky Anand, Geeta Luthra, and Advocate Pratibha Singh, cited a supportive partner and family as a pre-requisite for a successful career in litigation. Conversely, the absence of family support has an adverse impact on one’s career. A reliable support system at home is a privilege that many do not enjoy.
About seventy-nine percent of respondents took a break after childbirth. The duration of the break ranged from six weeks to six years. Approximately forty-one percent took 6 weeks to 6 months off while forty-four percent took a break of 1-2 years. The reasons for the break were mostly to look after their child, nurse the child, and to avoid stress associated with litigation. Seven percent of the respondents cited the lack of understanding and flexibility on the part of senior lawyers and the absence of day-care within the court premises as reasons why they chose to delay returning to work. Fourteen percent of them mentioned that they had to delay returning to work as there was no support available at home to look after the child. Fifty-nine percent of the women found the transition from maternity leave to work difficult owing to various factors, such as travelling on work, an unaccommodating senior, pressure to leave the organisation, and their commitment to work being questioned. The break between work, especially in an area like law, also made re-acquainting with work a challenge.
The impact of the pregnancy, maternity break, and motherhood is severe owing to structural inflexibilities that fail to include support measures that promote equality in employment. One respondent had to discontinue work at the onset of the fourth month of her pregnancy because of the long working hours, the lack of adequate or separate elevators, unsanitary rest rooms, and the bad conditions of roads. Respondents who were attached to a senior or a law firm complained of inflexible policies and the necessity of being present in office at all times that led them to quit during their pregnancy.
Fifty-two percent of women surveyed admitted that the maternity break had an adverse impact on their career. Those who found the return to practice after maternity break easy cited family support, child-care help, having an independent practice, and a relatively short break from work as reasons. Those who found it difficult attributed it to the absence of reliable childcare support, fatigue, concern for the well-being of the child, and having lost touch with practice.
In her autobiography, titled On Balance, Justice Leila Seth described how “a musty storeroom” was passed off as the women’s washroom. More than five decades later, most High Courts and lower courts have abysmal working conditions, especially with respect to sanitation, making it impossible for women to negotiate the court halls. Women’s rest rooms in most courts not only lack in sanitation, but are too few in number.
Ninety-three percent of respondents strongly agreed that sanitary toilets for women on each floor of the court premises were necessary to make courts more accessible to women lawyers. Seventy-two percent of the respondents agreed that a crèche facility accessible to all within the court precincts would make the profession a lot more conducive for women. It would also encourage male lawyers to partake in their parental responsibilities while shuttling between courtrooms. Not only would it aid in curtailing the exodus of young women lawyers from the practice, but it would also bring about equity in parental responsibilities for most working couples.
Additional facilities, such as baby changing-rooms and a room where women could breastfeed their children, were considered important infrastructural requirements by respondents. Ninety-three percent of women lawyers felt that judges being accommodating and sensitive to pregnant women would make courts more conducive. Seventy-nine percent of women lawyers felt that the sensitivity of their colleagues at the time of pregnancy, which could include assisting in taking adjournments or handling matters in courts, would also help.
Section 7 of the Advocates Act, 1961 mandates the Bar Council of India to safeguard the rights, privileges, and interests of lawyers. The State Bar Councils are also required to safeguard the interests of advocates on its roll and conduct seminars. Senior Advocate Pinky Anand has recommended that the Bar Council of India should extend support to young women lawyers at the start of their careers by encouraging the empanelment of women by organisations. In furtherance of their statutory mandate, the Bar Council of India and State Bar Councils should undertake measures to support the entry and growth of women in litigation.

Mainard Larkin AKA Randa is an up and coming New Zealand Rapper whose infectious rhymes have been in my head since February. Even if rap is not your go-to genre, Randa could certainly be the one to change the game for you.
It is with such great pleasure that I play a track by this artist to someone who has never heard the name Randa before. Firstly, the person I play his music to will be confused. “Who is this?” They will ask with raised eye brows trying to resist the temptation to instantly get caught up in the sound. This will be followed a slight nodding of the head or tapping of the foot. Next they’ll be using Randa’s rhymes as the soundtrack to their morning routine (well it gets ME pumped for the day).
I was stoked that Randa took a minute to answer some questions about what it’s like for a transgender, white rapper from the bottom of the world trying to make it in the music business.
How did your career in the music industry start out?
In mid-2011 I started recording music in my bedroom using a midi keyboard and Macbook setup. The earlier works were super experimental and almost fragmented but became more formed and developed over time. I uploaded my first track to Bandcamp in December of that year and shortly after, someone from Radioactive FM (a station based in Wellington, NZ) messaged me via Facebook letting me know it was amongst their weekly top 10 requested tracks. So I guess in a way my career started out because of the internet. That’s also where I discovered my influences, artists like Earl Sweatshirt and Teebs etc.
I hear loads of references to the 80’s and 90’s in your tracks. Why do you choose to write about this era?
When I began writing songs I focused my writing around things which stood out to me and represented colour as well as a positive mindset. I grew up watching an insane amount of television including a plethora of American sitcoms. North American culture has always appealed to me and growing up felt like a happy escape mentally.
I remember watching Frankenstein on TV for the first time, it was quite surreal! It aired on a nationwide music show called Select Live on Channel Four, right after a Selena Gomez clip haha.
When you’re not making music what are you likely to be doing?
If I’m not making music I’m probably making graphics on Photoshop, planning shows, drinking lots of coffee, snapping 35mm or working my part time burger job.
I’m obsessed with Grimes. What was it like to be her supporting act?
It was outrageous, Grimes is an artist to her core and extremely down to Earth. I was quite new to the music scene at the time, having the opportunity to open for a creative musician like her was a very positive and inspiring experience. I was planning to go along just as a fan so getting to play was too much cool.
I see myself continuing to further develop my sound and visual aesthetic, hopefully touching down overseas and playing some international shows also! I’d also really love to work on more collaborative projects as the feeling of creating something totally original with another human heart and brain is just really swell.
I guess in every interview you are asked about not identifying with a specific gender. Does it bother you to be questioned about this? Do you think that this is relevant to your music?
It’s usually an alright thing to come up just because it allows me to clarify my identity and I think people also feel like they know me a bit better once I’m open about it too. I identify as male ftm, coming out as transgender earlier last year. Although it’s challenging sometimes, I’m thankful to have had so much support surrounding my transition. I guess it’s relevant to my music in the same way any experience relating to personal growth is.

A light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy device is disclosed. The phototherapy device may be used in the treatment of various skin conditions. The phototherapy device may include multi-color LEDs for emitting multiple wavelengths of light for skin treatment. Furthermore, the phototherapy device may include a control system that receives, from a user, an indication of the skin condition to be treated, and in response the phototherapy device provides the corresponding wavelengths, intensity levels, and time interval for treatment of the skin condition. The phototherapy device may comprise a clamshell structure, pen shape, facial mask, or desk lamp design.
This application is a continuation of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/199,971, filed Aug. 9, 2005, titled SKIN TREATMENT PHOTOTHERAPY DEVICE, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/522,060, filed Aug. 9, 2004 and entitled PORTABLE LED DEVICE FOR SKIN CONDITIONS, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/593,152, filed Dec. 15, 2004 and entitled PORTABLE LED LIGHT THERAPY DEVICE FOR SKIN CONDITIONS, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a system for treating various skin conditions with a phototherapy device.
Reference is now made to the figures in which like reference numerals refer to like elements. For clarity, the first digit of a reference numeral indicates the figure number in which the corresponding element is first used. While the various aspects of the embodiments disclosed are presented in drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that the systems and methods disclosed can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In some cases, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail. Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. It will also be readily understood that the components of the embodiments as generally described and illustrated in the figures herein could be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations.
For this application, the phrases “connected to” and “coupled to” refer to any form of interaction between two or more entities, including mechanical, electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, fluid, and thermal interaction. Two components may be coupled to each other even though they are not in direct contact with each other.
FIG. 1A represents one embodiment of a phototherapy device 100 used in the treatment of various skin conditions, as shown from a perspective view. FIG. 1B represents the phototherapy device 100 as shown from a side elevation view. Referring collectively to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the phototherapy device 100 has a housing 102 that may include a handle 104 in the shape of a handheld pen-like structure. At an output end 106 of the phototherapy device 100, a light emitting diode (“LED”) 108 is located such that light emitting from the LED 108 may be directed substantially collinear with the device's longitudinal axis. In alternative embodiments, more than one LED 108 may be located at the output end 106 of the pen phototherapy device 100.
The LED 108 may be activated when a user depresses a button 110 or switch disposed on the exterior of the housing 102. Once activated, the LED 108 emits light in a narrow range of wavelengths. Since the LED 108 emits a narrow range of wavelengths, often the light emitted is considered monochromatic. LEDs 108 typically use less power, produce less heat, and have a longer life span than most incandescent lamps. Furthermore, LEDs 108 are often an inexpensive alternative to wavelength selection compared to lamp and filter systems. Furthermore, the compactness and portability of an LED phototherapy device 100 are typically superior to alternative lamp and filter designs.
According to one embodiment, the LED 108 is a multi-color LED in a single LED package, which is capable of emitting more than one discrete range of wavelengths. For example, in one embodiment the multi-color LED 108 is a bi-color, or bi-polar LED producing two discrete ranges of wavelengths. The multi-color LED 108 may produce a narrow band of wavelengths in the red portion of the visible electromagnetic spectrum as well as a narrow band of wavelengths in the blue portion of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. The red wavelengths may range between 630 nanometers and 680 nanometers, while the blue wavelengths may range between 400 nanometers and 470 nanometers. In one embodiment, the red band is between 650 to 670 nanometers and the blue band is between 405 to 420 nanometers.
The multi-color LED 108 may be capable of producing just red wavelengths at one time, or just blue wavelengths, or both red and blue wavelengths simultaneously. In other embodiments, the multi-color LED 108 is a tri-color LED producing three discrete ranges of wavelengths. As would be apparent to those having skill in the art, a multi-color LED 108 may be used which can produce more than three discrete wavelengths as the advancement of technology permits.
The LED phototherapy device 100 of FIGS. 1A and 1B may be used to treat a variety of skin conditions. The output end 106 of the device 100 is directed toward or placed on a region of skin having a particular skin condition so that the skin may be treated with LED light therapy. The depicted phototherapy device 100 is small and portable so that small focused light may be directed, for example, around the eyes of a user or other small specific areas where skin conditions may exist that larger light devices may not be able to treat.
The phototherapy device 100 produces specific wavelengths to treat a number of skin conditions. For example, for the treatment of acne both blue wavelengths (400 to 470 nanometers) and red wavelengths (630 to 680 nanometers) may be used. Furthermore, for the treatment of acne, the phototherapy device 100 may provide twice as much exposure to blue wavelengths than to red wavelengths in a single treatment event. Relative exposures of red and blue wavelengths may be determined through a quantifiable value such as light intensity or duration of exposure.
In order to treat wrinkles in the skin, blue, red and yellow wavelength bands may be used. The blue and red wavelength ranges are 400 to 470 nanometers and 630 to 680 nanometers, respectively. The yellow band of wavelengths may be between 530 nanometers and 600 nanometers.
In treating rosacea a yellow range of wavelengths may be used between 530 and 600 nanometers.
In treating sun spots, a yellow range of wavelengths (530 to 600 nanometers) may be used. For alternative forms of sun damage, a red band (630 to 680 nanometers) may be employed.
Blue light (between 400 and 470 nanometers) may be used to treat and kill bacteria that may cause various forms of skin blemishes, such as acne.
Inflammation may be treated by exposing affected skin to red wavelengths (630 to 680 nanometers) and also to infrared wavelengths, which may range from about 800 nanometers to about 1000 nanometers. As discussed above, the two wavelength ranges may be produced by a single multi-color LED 108 or by two separate LEDs, or an array of LEDs as would be apparent to those having skill in the art.
Lesions in the skin may be treated by illuminating the affected area with red wavelengths (630 to 680 nanometers) and infrared wavelengths (800 to 1000 nanometers).
Canker sores may also be treated by irradiating the sore to red and infrared wavelengths (630 to 680 nanometers and 800 to 1000 nanometers, respectively). A typical one time treatment of canker sores may have a duration of exposure between 5 and 15 minutes, with an intensity of approximately 105 mW/cm2. However, multiple applications may be necessary in certain situations.
Skin blemishes may be treated through exposure to red, blue and yellow wavelengths. As discussed above the wavelength ranges may be 630 to 680 nanometers for red, 400 to 470 nanometers for blue, and 530 to 600 nanometers for yellow.
LEDs 108 that emit a band of wavelengths in the green portion of the visible electromagnetic spectrum may also be used in treating sun spots, rosacea and wrinkles. The wavelength range associated with green light may range between 500 nanometers and 530 nanometers. LED light therapy may also be used in treating dead skin and other skin problems.
The phototherapy device 100 shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B may also include a lens 112 at its output end 106 to diffuse ultra violet light or other harmful rays that may inadvertently be emitted from the device 100. Furthermore, the LED 108 may be removable from the device 100 and can be replaced with another color LED or another multi-color LED for treatment of a different skin condition.
Referring to FIG. 2, another embodiment of a phototherapy device 200 is depicted from a side elevation view. The phototherapy device 200 is similar to the device disclosed in FIGS. 1A and 1B, however the phototherapy device 200 of FIG. 2 comprises a rechargeable power supply, such as a rechargeable battery (not shown). The rechargeable battery may be disposed inside the housing 202 of the device 200.
The phototherapy device 200 is depicted as being cradled in a recharging base station 214. In the cradle position depicted, the base station 214 may have contact points that are in electronic communication with contact points of the phototherapy device 200. The base station 214 is also connected to an AC power supply through a power cord 216. Alternatively, the phototherapy device 200 may be recharged using an AC adapter.
FIGS. 3A and 3B show another embodiment of a phototherapy device 300 used in the treatment of various skin conditions. In FIG. 3A the device 300 is shown in an open configuration from a perspective view. FIG. 3B shows the device 300 in a closed configuration from a perspective view.
The phototherapy device 300 includes a first panel 320 that is hingedly coupled to a second panel 322 in a clamshell-like arrangement. In the open configuration, the internal faces 324 of each panel 320, 322 are exposed to a user, and the first 320 and second 322 panels are arranged at an angle with respect to each other. The angle between panels 320, 322 may be adjustable. In the configuration shown in FIG. 3A, the angle is greater than 90 degrees.
The first 320 and second 322 panels may hingedly move from the open configuration to the close configuration where the panels 320, 322 are located substantially parallel to and adjacent each other. The internal faces 324 are no longer exposed to a user in the closed configuration. According to the embodiment depicted, the first 320 and second 322 panels are similarly sized, in that their internal faces 324 have approximately the same area.
The first panel 320 may include an array of LEDs 308 disposed on its internal face 324. In the open configuration, the array 308 is exposed such that it may be used for treatment of a user's skin. The phototherapy device 300 may optionally include an integrated stand (not shown), so that the device can rest on the stand when in the open configuration, exposing the user to LED light.
In one embodiment, the LED array 308 contains a plurality of red and blue LEDs. In some embodiments, each LED is a single color LED, while in other embodiments, multi-color LEDs may be used. In the single color LED embodiment, the red and blue LEDs may be arranged in a checkerboard configuration, where every other LED emits blue wavelengths while all other adjacent LEDs emit red wavelengths.
Alternatively, other color LEDs may be used, particularly those that are capable of emitting yellow, green and infrared wavelengths. The array of LEDs 308 may also be programmed to emit a combination of wavelengths simultaneously to treat different skin conditions at the same time. Furthermore, the device 300 may also emit different intensities of light. For example, a user may control the intensities of all or some of the LEDs in the LED array 308. The intensities of each color may also be varied independently.
The second panel 322 of the phototherapy device 300 includes a control system for the phototherapy device 300. The functions of the control system will be discussed in greater detail in conjunction with the discussion accompanying FIG. 6. The second panel 322 may include a display 326, such as an LCD display for prompting a user for input or indicating operating status, etc. The second panel 322 may also include mechanical buttons 328 for receiving user input to control the operation of the phototherapy device 300. Alternatively, an LCD touch screen, membrane buttons, or voice activation and recognition may be used to receive user input as would be apparent to those having skill in the art.
The phototherapy device 300 may also be powered by an internal or external portable power source, such as a battery. The battery power source may provide the LED array 308 with power such that AC power is not required. Alternatively, an AC adapter or direct AC connection may be used in other embodiments.
Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, an alternative embodiment of a phototherapy device 400 used in the treatment of skin conditions is shown. The device 400 is a facial mask having a mask body 430 that is shaped to cover a substantial portion of a user's face. Covering a substantial portion may consist of covering a user's nose and mouth region, similar to a dust mask, or it could also encompass a larger region encompassing a user's cheeks, chin, nose and mouth, similar to a surgical mask. Alternatively, the facial mask could cover a user's forehead, cheeks and chin. According to the embodiment depicted, the mask body 430 may cover substantially all of a user's face leaving space for a user's eyes and breathing orifices for the nose and/or mouth. A harness 431 or similar device may be used to secure the mask body 430 to a user's face during treatment.
FIG. 4A shows an exterior side 432 of the mask body 430. FIG. 4B shows an interior side 434 of the mask body 430. The facial mask device 400 includes an LED array 408 that is embedded in the interior side 434 of the mask body 430, so that the LEDs 408 are positioned to emit light directly toward a user's skin when wearing the device 400. In one embodiment, the LED array 408 may include red, yellow and blue LEDs scattered throughout the interior portion of the mask body 430 to treat wrinkles. Alternative LED arrangements and LED types may be incorporated into the facial mask phototherapy device 400 as would be apparent to those having skill in the art, such as including green and infrared LEDs and other color combinations of LEDs.
The device 400 may further include a controller 436 in electronic communication with the mask body 430 and LED array 408. The controller 436 may allow the user to select specific red, yellow or blue wavelengths, or a combination thereof to treat various skin conditions. Additional LED color types may also be used. Alternatively, the controller 436 may be as simple as a device for switching on and off the LED array 408. The controller 436 may optionally include a display that assists a user in selecting and controlling treatment modes, timers, and other functionality features. For example, treatment modes may include activation of blue LEDs, activation of red LEDs, activation of yellow LEDs, activation of all three colors, or any other combination thereof. The controller 436 may also include a portable power supply to increase the portability of the device 400.
FIG. 5 represents another embodiment of a phototherapy device 500 that is integrated with a desk lamp device 540, as shown from a perspective view. The desk lamp 540 may include a base 542 and a lamp neck 544 and lamp head 546. The desk lamp 540 may also include a display 526, such as an LCD display for prompting a user for input or indicating operating status, etc., similar to the display described in conjunction with FIG. 3A.
Embedded in the lamp head 546 is an LED illumination source 508, such as an array of LEDs. The desk lamp 540 may produce white light for general lighting purposes from the LED array 508, or from a different white light source, such as an incandescent lamp or a fluorescent lamp. The desk lamp 540 may also produce wavelength specific light from the LED illumination source 508 for the treatment of various skin conditions. Alternatively, the desk lamp 540 may provide both white light and wavelength-specific light, simultaneously. The LED array 508 may comprise a plurality of multi-colored LEDs. As with the phototherapy devices heretofore described, the phototherapy device 500 of FIG. 5 may have the capabilities of changing wavelengths to treat various skin conditions as selected by the user.
Alternative devices, other than those heretofore disclosed, may also be used in accordance with the LED light therapy principles described. For instance, multi-color LEDs or multiple color LED therapy programs may be incorporated into a device that is large enough to provide LED exposure to most of a user's body. A user may stand in front of such a device, or alternatively, lie down in a device similar to a tanning bed. Such a device may include a large array of LEDs.
Furthermore, LEDs, such as multi-color LEDs may be embedded into a fabric swath or belt allowing a user to wrap the belt around a specific area of the user's body for treatment of a particular region of skin. For example, an LED fabric belt may include infrared LEDs, or other colored LEDs to treat chronic or other forms of pain, swelling, inflammation, etc. The fabric device may be wrapped around the affected region of skin to assist in the reduction of swelling, increasing blood flow, or aiding in the body's process of tissue repair. The LED fabric belt may be in electronic communication with a controller and portable power device. The controller would allow a user to select operation parameters such as time intervals, intensities, and wavelength options.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a control system 650 for treating various skin conditions with an LED phototherapy device. The control system 650 may be incorporated, in part, into a device controller as heretofore described. The control system 650 may receive various forms of user input in order to control various treatment modes of the phototherapy device.
For example, a user may provide input 652 indicative of a skin condition that a user desires to be treated by the LED phototherapy device. Examples of various skin condition inputs 652 may include acne, rosacea, wrinkles, inflammation, sun spots or sun damage, bacteria, blemishes, lesions or canker sores. A user may select one or more of a list of skin conditions to be treated and the control system 650 accesses operating parameters stored on a memory device 654 or database in machine readable form. The operating parameters of the phototherapy device that correspond with a particular light therapy treatment may be inputted by a manufacturer or programmer of the device, or alternatively a user may provide adjustment operating parameter input 656 in accordance with a customized LED skin treatment program.
The control system 650 accesses the memory device 654 containing multiple operating parameters and selects those corresponding to the skin condition input 652 received. The phototherapy device then runs according to the operating parameters corresponding with the selected skin condition input 652. One example of an operating parameter output of the control system 650 is a control signal corresponding to the specific wavelengths for treatment 658 of the skin condition selected. Accordingly, if acne is selected by the user, the control system 650 accesses the corresponding operating parameter that indicates both red and blue wavelengths are to be used for treatment. However, if the user selected rosacea as the skin condition to be treated, the wavelengths for treatment 658 may be in the yellow band (530 to 600 nanometers).
Another form of output of the control system 650 is the operating parameter that indicates the intensity levels 660 for treatment of the skin condition selected. For example, with the phototherapy device disclosed in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the intensity levels of a multi-color LED may be 105 mW/cm2. However, with the phototherapy device disclosed in FIGS. 3A and 3B, an intensity level output 660 of 92 mW/cm2 may be provided by the control system 650. A user may adjust the intensity level output 660 corresponding to a particular skin treatment. The user adjusts that particular operating parameter through input 656 indicating an increase or a decrease in intensity to treat more severe or less severe skin conditions, respectively. Intensity adjustments may be made, for example, in percentage increments such as ±5%, ±10%, ±15%, etc.
Another operating parameter that may be controlled is the time interval for treatment 662. A typical treatment session may last 15 minutes for most skin conditions. However, treatment for canker sores may be less, such as between 5 and 15 minutes, depending upon the user input. Furthermore, certain treatments using the pen device may last for 3 minutes as desired by the user. The time interval for treatment 662 may be controlled by a timer 664, which may be embodied, for example, as a Real Time Clock (RTC). Once the skin condition input 652 is received and the corresponding operating parameters accessed, the indicated time interval 662 is controlled by the timer 664. Once the timer 664 reaches the time interval 662 indicated it automatically shuts off LED emission of the phototherapy device.
Additionally, the operating parameters corresponding to a skin condition input 652 may include wavelength ratio data 666. For example, when acne is selected as the skin condition to be treated, the operating parameters corresponding with the treatment of acne would indicate that twice as much exposure to blue wavelengths as compared to red wavelengths is desired. Consequently, the wavelength ratio 666 for acne would be 2:1, blue to red. The relative exposures of red and blue wavelengths may be determined through a quantifiable value such as light intensity or duration of exposure. Therefore, blue LED light may be emitted at twice the intensity of red LED light. Alternatively, the exposure time of blue LED light during a particular treatment interval would be twice as long as red LED light. This may be accomplished by pulsating blue LEDs twice as much as red LEDs, or by activating twice as many blue LEDs than red LEDs, or other methods known to those having skill in the art.
Accordingly, a user is able to control the wavelengths emitted, the intensity levels, the time intervals for treatment, and the relative ratio of wavelengths produced by simply selecting a particular skin condition. By selecting the skin condition, the control system 650 causes the LED phototherapy device to provide the appropriate colors, intensity, etc., for that skin condition.
The control system may be in electronic communication with a display, such as an LCD display discussed in conjunction with the description of FIG. 3A. By way of example, the LCD display may show an indication of the skin condition selected by the user and the associated operating parameters. In some embodiments, the display may show a countdown of time left or time elapsed for the particular light therapy treatment. Furthermore, an audible alert, such as a beep, may let the user know when the treatment event has ended.
While specific embodiments and applications of phototherapy devices have been illustrated and described, it is to be understood that the invention claimed hereinafter is not limited to the precise configuration and components disclosed. Various modifications, changes, and variations apparent to those of skill in the art may be made in the arrangement, operation, and details of the devices and systems disclosed.

“ Dave, would you like a coffee?” asked Keith as we settled round a table at the Birkenhead Wharf Cafe for our chat about Dave’s sailing life.
Dave, a lifelong resident of Birkenhead, bought his first boat in 1952, an Idle-along (IA117) ‘ Topic ‘ from Bill Williamson, and sailed from the Northcote & Birkenhead Yacht Club out of the Gold Hole on the city side of Northcote Point and at this time, years before the construction of the Harbour Bridge.
Dave had begun sailing about 1950 with Alan (Rumpy) Riley in IA9 ‘Shannon’ and in IA17, ‘Maxina’ with Mark Windram.
Racing off Needles Eye and without a clubhouse, BBC was set up by a group of friends – Harry Lamb who was the secretary, Ron Jull, Bill Herald, Teddy Fitzgerald and a few others. Racing marks and anchors, owned by Harry Lamb, were kept in Neville Paterson’s garden at the bottom of Awanui St.
12 Footers that Dave recalls include: Q5, ‘Red Riding Hood’ owned by Johnny Ross, Q8 ‘Pathetic ( Buster Dibble), Q 33 ‘Zigzag’, Q34 ‘Gazelle’ ( Steve Donahoe) and Q35 ‘Fluff’ ( Bill Herald). The last 3 were off the same mould.
Bill Herald’s ‘Ajax’ which he built himself and skippered with Noel (Buster) Dibble, Owen Stewart and me as crew. Saturdays, racing the 12 footers, Sunday at Orakei Wharf racing the 18 footer with its crew of 6, Steve Donahoe and George Jones.
Brian Wilkins owned ‘Nudger’ a clinker built 14, T 1.
John and David Peoples owned a hard chine 14 skimmer, ‘Genesta’.
Owen Stewart sailed ‘Pamela’, a pretty clinker Q class that was very hard to sail!
Bob Harkin built ‘Party Doll’ . Both off the same mould, designed by Bill Herald.
“Some generous guys such as Captain Jenkins, chair of the Harbour Board, donated trophies. The Ladies Rose-bowl trophy was awarded to the winning boat with a lady aboard – and one year this was my wife. I borrowed John Shelley’s Cherub and won, easily beating the Qs.
Many of the trophies are sitting in the trophy cabinet 50 plus years later at the new Northcote and Birkenhead Yacht Club clubhouse.
I sailed with Dave Barker on his catamarans ‘Sundancer’ and ‘Sundreamer’.
“ From 1972 – 1974, I owned ‘Manutahi’ a Piver ( 32’6”) and then built a Malcolm Tennant 36 footer ‘Mahu-nui’ on our front lawn in Huka Road, finally launching her in 1984. She took six years to build using the mould off ‘Vorpal Blade’. I owned her for 2 years.
Dave Moore, as told to Ted Berry and Keith Salmon, December, 2018.

Astragalus tea is an herbal beverage prepared from the dried, shredded roots (Radix Astragali) of Astragalus membranaceus, a species of herbs indigenous to China, Korea, and Mongolia. Widely used not just in China but also throughout the world, the infusion has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, which make it a natural remedy for a range of health conditions.
The astragalus shrub has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. The Chinese still use it for boosting immunity, promoting the repair and growth of tissues, and alleviating the symptoms of chronic health conditions. The root tea has also been used as a traditional folk remedy for the indigenous people of North America.
Preliminary research studies have highlighted that consumption of astragalus root tea helps in controlling the insulin and blood sugar levels in those suffering from type-2 diabetes. Moreover, its intake along with burdock is beneficial for people affected by diabetes-related kidney problems. It assists in increasing the eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) as well as reducing proteinuria, and thus helps improve diabetic kidney diseases.
Because of its antimicrobial properties, its consumption is useful for relieving runny nose, cough, sore throat, and other symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. It also helps in reducing allergic responses that cause sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, as well as other similar symptoms. Furthermore, it is used in Chinese medication for fighting against infections in children affected by the nephrotic syndrome.
When taken along with glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum), this herbal infusion helps in reducing the growth of cancerous cells in those affected by lung, cervical, and breast cancer. Its consumption in addition to platinum-based chemotherapy can lessen the chances of death in patients with the advanced stages of lung cancer. Preliminary research indicates that its use also reduces vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and other side effects related to chemotherapy.
Astragalus is rich in saponins, phenols, alkaloids, terpenes, tannins, and flavonoids, and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Early research has shown that a blend of Dong Quai, Panax ginseng, and astragalus can aid those with severe chest pain. Furthermore, its use reduces fatigue and eases widespread muscle pain associated with fibromyalgia.
According to preliminary clinical trials, having astragalus in combination with Baikal skullcap, cordyceps, bulbus fritillariae cirrhosae, and Radix stemone is beneficial for stopping the recurrence of asthmatic symptoms in children when the condition is put into remission.
Because of its antiviral properties, having it regularly might help in making the hepatitis virus inactive in people affected by hepatitis B. It is also effective in lessening the formation of excess fibrous tissues, and reducing the inflammation of the liver in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Its intake is useful for the improvement of blood flow, thereby helping the heart to receive enough oxygen in people with coronary heart disease. It also facilitates in enhancing contractility and boosting the systolic function of the heart in those who have suffered a heart attack. Recent studies have shown that its use aids in lessening the symptoms of congestive heart failure.
Researchers from the UCLA AIDS Institute have identified a chemical in the astragalus roots that help in improving the ability of aging immune system cells to divide. As a result, the disease fighting ability of the cells is not compromised. On regularly drinking an infusion comprising astragalus, glossy privet fruit, Baikal skullcap root, and Ailing granules, some people with HIV/AIDS have shown improvements in symptoms.
Taking this drink helps in treating excess bleeding during menstruation as well as maintaining regular periods in those with menstrual disorders. Besides, preliminary research has identified some beneficial effects such as relief from hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and alteration of the diameter of blood vessels, which are associated with menopause.
Its use, as shown in scientific studies, is helpful for improving the production of new blood cells from the stem cells in the bone marrow. Therefore, daily intake of astragalus tea assists in boosting hemoglobin level and red blood cell count in patients with aplastic anemia and beta-thalassemia.
A beverage containing a mixture of astragalus and other medicinal herbs may help in reducing feelings of tiredness pertaining to chronic fatigue syndrome.
Intake of astragalus tea in moderate amounts for a short duration is considered safe. However, people affected by any one of the auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or multiple sclerosis should avoid its consumption.
Some animal studies have shown its toxic effects on both the mother and her unborn offspring. Therefore, expecting as well as nursing women should avoid its use.
Caffeine-free, organic astragalus roots are sold in tea bags, as well as in the powdered form, at online herbal tea stores and at Chinese groceries.

Three years ago, we spoke about achieving 2.5 M transactions per second (TPS) on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 product family. Considered “stratospheric” at the time, this performance opened the door for applications as diverse as fraud detection, real-time ad bidding, and digital payment processing. Nowadays, in the age of digital transformation, that benchmark result has become table stakes as databases of 20-100 TB and sub-millisecond response times are the norm.
Aerospike has a long history of working closely with Intel on data center solutions, and this continues, as shown by our Intel® Optane™ SSD announcement back in March. Today, we’re pleased to bring you even greater stratospheric performance with the announcement of the new Intel® Xeon® Scalable Platform. It is now possible to achieve a throughput of 8.8 M TPS, simply by refreshing systems that are just a few years old! Yes, you read that right—nearly NINE MILLION transactions per second.
The workload-optimized performance gains go beyond simply running software on newer processors. For instance, the auto-pin configuration we introduced with Aerospike Server version 3.12 in April 2017 saw performance increases of 10%-45% across the board. We also recently enhanced Aerospike with new capabilities such as auto-tuning to take advantage of Intel’s architecture. Auto-tuning creates huge parallelism efficiencies by automatically binding processes and network interrupts to specific processor cores. As core counts continue to increase, these innovations in the Intel® Xeon® processor ensure that Aerospike’s and Intel’s customers will keep enjoying predictable high performance and scalability with lower total cost of ownership.
Digital transformation is driving massive change across all industries—change that demands more data, better decisions, and faster response times for systems of engagement. By updating to the latest Aerospike and Intel versions, businesses will be prepared to embrace these burgeoning data volumes and deliver a competitive user experience at speeds previously deemed impossible.
The Intel Solution Brief goes into more detail on how these stratospheric numbers are possible.

Much like an operating system for a computer, every government system needs a periodic update to better handle evolving work loads, external threats and inherent flaws. The operating system of the American government is the Constitution, which comes with a built-in system for user updates. We know these as amendments, and their importance was realized when the first operating system of America, the Articles of Confederation, was released with too many bugs to be functional. Recent events have reignited a desire to update our operating system, and while understandable focus is on the Executive and Judicial branches, the branch that best expresses the will of the American people - the Legislative branch - is vital to discuss.
Some historical context is necessary. The United States of America had its genesis from the thirteen British colonies that broke away from the empire in the late 1700’s. While united in their desire to leave the hegemony of the crown, these colonies were functionally independent from each other. Fear of invasion by vengeful Brits or the Iroquois Confederacy led to a widespread desire for common defense and unity, but this would require a legal framework that all of the former colonies would agree with. After the Articles of Confederation proved unsustainable, the Constitution of the United States of America was drafted.
An important function of the Constitution was alleviating fears of the smaller states being overwhelmed by the influence of the larger states. There were three characteristics of the Constitution that made this possible. The first was the decision to give each state two Senators, regardless of population. This meant that Delaware and Texas have the exact same influence in the upper house of Congress - arguably the most important component of the entire government - despite Texas having over 28 times the population of Delaware.
The second was the decision to guarantee that each state has at least one Representative in the House. This by itself does not give a concerning amount of influence to smaller states. What upset the balance was the Reapportionment Act of 1929, which permanently capped the House of Representatives at 435 members. Prior to then, the House grew along with the population of the United States, increasing from 59 members to 435. After 1929, this meant that as America continued to grow in population - particularly in states with important urban centers - the states that were relatively underpopulated received ever greater influence in steering the country. For instance, while Rhode Island gets one House Representative for every 530,000 people, Colorado gets one House Representative for every 775,000 people. This essentially gives Rhode Islanders a 50% greater influence in the House than Coloradans.
Both of these mechanisms contribute to the third characteristic - the electoral college. Known nowadays for electing two presidents in the span of 16 years that did not win the majority of the vote, the design of the electoral college gave less populated states a disproportionate amount of influence in selecting the president. This is because each state is assigned electors by the amount of senators and representatives they are allotted in Congress. As both Senators and Representatives are assigned with methods that give disproportionate power to less populated states, this means that a voter in South Dakota has vastly more influence in selecting the President - 1 elector per 143,000 people - than New York - 1 elector per 500,000 people.
Before we make any determination of what action or inaction we must take on this subject, we must decide what the United States of America puts a higher priority on - state’s rights or individual rights. Should representation and, by extension, political power be based on the agreement that states make when forming and joining the Union? Or should political power be based on the idea that America is made up of citizens of equal standing? The Civil War sets some precedent for deciding this; the core issue of the American Civil War was whether a state had aright to trample on an individual’s rights in the form of slavery. The side that represented individual primacy - the Union - was victorious over the side that represented state primacy - the Confederacy. The decline of the importance of individual states can be seen in the linguistic shift from the antebellum plural referencing of the United States - “The United States are” - toward the contemporary singular referencing - “The United States is”.
There are some plausible reforms we may undertake to make a more perfect Union. We could eliminate the Electoral College and have every American have the same weight in selecting the most powerful person on Earth. Prior to the 17th Amendment Senators were selected by state legislatures instead of directly by the people; just as we altered the Constitution to expand the democratic selection in the Legislative branch, we can alter the Constitution to expand the democratic selection in the Executive branch.
In addition, we could undo the 1929 Reapportionment Act and expand the House to better represent American voters, but a decision will have to be made on how much it should be expanded by. Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 of the US Constitution specifies that one House Representative should not represent less than 30,000 people, but if we were to apply that to the current population in the United States we would have over 10,000 House Representatives. A proposed alternative is known as the Wyoming Rule. Using the least populated state as a baseline with 1 representative- currently Wyoming - each state would have as many Representatives proportional to its population compared to Wyoming. For example, Wyoming has 580,000 people, Idaho has 1,750,000 people and Florida has 21,000,000 people. Using the Wyoming Rule, Idaho would have three Representatives and Florida would have thirty-six Representatives to Wyoming’s one.
There is another action that, while politically infeasible, is interesting enough to mention. As previously mentioned, the United States of America started as many independent states federating themselves into one Union, with each state getting two Senators. Being components of the whole, they were able to maintain the plausibility of independence from the federation, which was eventually seized upon by the states breaking away to form the Confederate States of America. The victory of the Union over the Confederacy was a victory not only of individual rights over states rights, but of the federation over the states. If we were to assume that the federal victory was absolute, and the United States of America was more powerful than the sum of its components, then the definition of a state within the union changed from a nominally independent entity to an administrative subdivision. And if that were the case, states as they exist now could be dissolved and reformed to create more efficient administrative and electoral districts.
This is infeasible because so much of the Constitution is built around the concept of states rights, and the idea of a state consenting to dissolving itself for reformation as directed from Washington D.C. is a long shot, to put it mildly. But similar reforms in other countries have occurred quite recently. France is administratively divided into regions, and in 2014 the French parliament voted to reduce its number of regions from 27 to 18 through merging, which went into effect in 2016. Between 1965 and 1975, England reformed its administration and altered counties to better reflect the contemporary needs of governance.
Neither France or England are federal republics like the United States is, but the idea of redrawing states remains an interesting one. Would it be best to reform the states around the largest cities in America, with each city controlling all currently dependent counties? Would it be best to follow the English model by having metropolitan states and rural states? Could we eliminate the abomination that is New Jersey by splitting it between New York and Pennsylvania? One can dream, but it seems the disproportional representation in the Senate is one that is not likely to change any time soon.
As such, it is better to focus efforts on feasible political reforms. There are already a substantial amount of Americans that want to abolish the Electoral College, but uncapping the House is a reform that Americans desperately need to make a push on. Tying these two related issues together with anti-corruption efforts would likely have broad inter-party and independent support.

How to lease a property in a soft or competitive market?
Hello, and thanks for joining us today for Property Management Q&A with Sam Price from Templeton Property. Today, we’ll be answering the question ‘How to lease a property in a soft or competitive market?’.
If you currently have good tenants and they pay their rent on time and look after the property, do everything you can to keep them in place. That might even mean a slight rent reduction, installing an air conditioner or dishwasher that they’ve been asking for, whatever it takes – to some degree and depending on the cost of course. Remember it’s often cheaper to keep the current tenants in place rather than take the property to market where you have the advertising costs, the wear and tear of moving out, moving in, as well as the let fee. Therefore, it’s best to keep good tenants in place if possible.
In a normal market, we’d advertise three to four weeks prior to the property becoming available for lease. Now, in this current market, we’re starting advertising five weeks before the property is available to give us ample time to find a suitable tenant prior to the property becoming vacant.
We recommend this to all our clients. If you look at the competition of properties in your local suburb, you’ll see that a lot of people these days are using professional photography to advertise their investment properties for lease. We’re recommending the outlay, which is quite nominal in the grand scheme of things and tax deductible, as it’s well worth getting professional photography.
Make sure that the property manager writes a well written ad that describes all the features of the property and its location. The ad should be proofed and they may choose to send it through to you for reading too and if you have additional items you’d like mentioned, let the property manager know so they can be included. Professional photography coupled with a well written ad goes a long way in advertising the property well to the marketplace.
Realestate.com.au and domain.com.au have different levels of advertising. The pricing is going up, but it’s still quite reasonable for rentals as compared to sales. We recommend that if a property is being let in a competitive market, or there’s a lot of competition currently online, or it’s been on the market for some time, increasing the ad from a standard to a feature, or feature to a highlight or a premium listing can help to bring the property from example page five on realestate.com.au back to page one or two, which increases its exposure.
While the property’s for lease, we recommend that you mow the yard regularly, probably every two weeks in summer at least. Winter can be a little bit longer, and look after all those little ‘maintenance jobs’ that need to be done. Don’t put it off until you have a tenant. Tenants look at this, they want a well-maintained property. Do all those little maintenance jobs that are obvious before the property hits the market for lease.
As we know, there’s pros and cons of allowing pets into your investment property, but in a soft market where the market is competitive and you’ve been on the market three weeks and you’re just not getting any bites at all, it’s well worth considering pets, or allowing pets into part of the property. It could be an outside dog or an inside cat, or you can put ‘pets by negotiation’, but opening yourself up to that marketplace, which is quite a growing market can certainly help lease the property more swiftly.
The market will dictate what value they put on the property – $ being a weekly rent. It’s not based on what your mortgage payments are, what you were getting five years ago, what you’d like to get, what you need to pay your bills, it’s based on the market at the current time, which is what the competition’s asking for their properties. The market is the market.
If you have a property manager that’s professional and knows their stuff, these are the sorts of things and more that they should be talking to you about. It’s important to listen to them, particularly in relation to the current market and pricing of the rental property. Please remember, this is a difficult conversation to have with you the owner, but it shows that they respect you if they’re willing to have that tough conversation with you.
That’s our 10 key principles to getting your property leased as swiftly as possible in a soft or competitive market. I hope this helps and thanks for joining us today. I’m Sam Price from Templeton Property, Brisbane’s favourite property manager and buyer’s agent.

Friends, it’s recipe time! At a barbecue last weekend—to which I had brought one amazing, reliable salad—I was reminded how much I love cooking and sharing recipes. Several non-vegan people have asked me for this one, so I’m taking the opportunity to create a post!
I adapted this salad from the original recipe, which I found in America’s Test Kitchen’s Vegan for Everybody cookbook. If you have not gotten your hands on this book yet, I highly recommend it—absolutely everything is spot-on and delicious! That said, I’m not much of a recipe follower, so once I had the gist of the ingredients for the dressing, I made this sucker my own. You should feel free to experiment with ratios until you find your favorite version.
There are a couple of ingredients you might not yet have in your fridge, but once you make this recipe, you’ll have them handy for next time. What follows is one of our family’s go-to weeknight dinners. It’s not low-fat, but it’s full of veggies!
Serves 4 as an entree.
Start your garbanzo bean croutons. Heat 2-3 T of olive oil in a cast-iron pan and add the drained beans. Make sure they’re all touching the surface of the pan (a 10” pan should be plenty). Turn heat down to medium and gently balance a lid over 2/3 of the pan—that’s enough coverage to keep popping beans from flying at your face, while not accidentally steaming the beans (which would turn them to mush). If you have one of those neat mesh pan covers, that would be ideal. Throughout the rest of the prep, occasionally toss the beans around with a spatula, and add a drizzle of oil here and there.
Soak your kale in a bowl of hot tap water. This will take the raw bite out of it without cooking it. I do my soaking in a salad spinner so I can go right to drying it off when the soaking is done. Leave the kale in the water while you make your dressing.
In a blender, add all of the rest of the ingredients, mayo through pepper. Blend until just smooth, then drizzle 1/4 cup olive oil into the blender while it is running, blending for just another 30 seconds or so. Blend in a few tablespoons of water if your dressing seems too thick.
Rinse your kale under cold water to stop the wilting, then dry your kale in your salad spinner or by laying it between layers of clean towels. Once it’s mostly dry, combine with your dressing in a very large bowl. Put this large bowl in the fridge and let it sit while you finish off your beans.
Add a generous amount of salt and garlic powder to your beans and continue cooking and tossing until they start to get golden brown and crispy. Taste a couple of times and add more salt if needed. Do not cover the beans or attempt to store them until they are completely cool or they’ll lose their crunch.
While the beans finish cooking, start your tempeh. Brown both sides of the tempeh pieces in a dry or lightly oiled pan—this should only take about one minute per side. Toss with BBQ sauce and set aside.
Time to put it all together! Grab your giant bowl of salad from the fridge, serve in large individual salad bowls, then have each person add the crispy garbanzos and BBQ tempeh.
If you prefer romaine lettuce over kale, you can sub chopped romaine and skip the soaking bit—you want your romaine crispy! A combo of the two greens works well, too.
A soy-free option: Skip the tempeh and toss some quinoa on top instead during Step 7—super delicious with a lighter feel.
A lower-fat version: Skip the olive oil in the dressing and replace it with water. The dressing will be a bit lighter and less viscous, but still very tasty!
I've been away for a while! As it turns out, having a stress fracture--and therefore not being allowed to run for months--did not result in me spending all that extra free time writing for the blog. Instead, I've worked a bunch, enjoyed a busy holiday with the family, and performed in a musical (which is something I do sometimes!). My stupid metatarsal is taking its sweet time getting back to normal. I blame the kids, of course (shhh, don't tell them). Not being able to truly stay off my feet has taken its toll, even with the walking boot that I was rocking for 2 months.
As spring approaches and I ease my way back into running, I'm also easing/barreling my way back into the wellness-focused life I'd been living. Yes, I know it's "wellness-focused" to take necessary time off for physical therapy, but in the moment it just feels like one big couch-bound Netflix marathon. In the vein of easing, I tried an amazingly easy recipe yesterday that turned out to be AMAZING.
I pureed 2 cups of canned corn kernels into the soup, and added 2 cups of frozen corn kernels at the end for texture.
I slow cooked on low (in my new Instant Pot!) for 10 hours, but the potatoes were still not tender enough for my immersion blender, so I pressure cooked the soup for 15 minutes before pureeing, If you're using a regular slow cooker, just give it more time or cook it on high instead.
The only toppings I needed were some toasted and crushed corn tortillas and a ridiculous amount of avocado, but Wife stirred a load of sour cream into hers and loved it.
Bonus: turns out toddlers love this soup.
I'm hoping to be cleared to try running on the ground soon. I've only run in the Alter-G treadmill (which is this amazing anti-gravity thing), and I'm starting to work out on an elliptical and stair climber, but I'm itching to get back on the trails.
As my show closes and I have more time for cooking actual meals--much to my family's delight--I'll be messing around with (and sharing) more recipes!
I'll be sharing my 2017 race plan as soon as I have more info on my foot. 2017 is supposed to be Year of the Triathlon!
Bad news first: I'm injured. I'm hoping to find out this week if it's a stress fracture or something called metatarsalgia, but the gist is that my left foot is killing me and I haven't been able to run. That I have ants in my pants is an understatement. I am just grateful that this happened after all my summer races. Time to start swimming again!
Good news: This means more time to cook and blog about recipes! Fantastic timing, too, because cold weather means the oven can be on in the evening and I can get more creative with dinners. First up: my easy-peasy, go-to, crowd-pleasing Italian Soup.
Don't pictures of big pots of simmering soup make you feel all warm and cozy? Also, I failed to take a photo of an appetizingly artful bowl of soup, so this is what you get.
Heat a large soup pot with cooking spray or a tiny bit of olive oil. Add onions, garlic, and carrots, and cook over medium heat until the onions soften. Add a splash of water as needed to prevent sticking.
Toss in your drained and rinsed garbanzo beans and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add broth, tomatoes, and spices. (Go easy on the salt, as tomatoes and broth usually have quite a bit of salt already.) Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer for at least 10 minutes. The key is to let your carrots get soft--any additional simmer time just deepens the flavor.
Add your greens with a good stir when you've got 5 - 10 minutes of simmer time remaining. Kale and other hardy greens hold up better than spinach if you plan to leave the soup simmering for a while.
Optional: add 1/4 cup of orzo pasta to the pot once you bring it to a boil, and allow to simmer at least as long as the package's recommended cooking time. Makes it a bit heartier. You can also cook the soup without the pasta on night one, then turn the leftovers into a pasta dish for night two--just serve over cooked pasta or heat the soup in a pot and cook your pasta right in the soup (adding a bit of water if necessary).
Some serving ideas from our house: I will steal a couple of spoonfuls of this soup from the pot to serve over pasta for the kiddos--they don't really do soup. My wife adds shaved parmesan to her bowl. I love this soup served with a giant hunk of garlic bread.
PS - Speaking of garlic bread and not being able to run through the holiday binge fest, stay tuned for a future post on cutting flours out of my diet. Yikes.

“Hugh Glass: Grizzly Survivor” is written by James D. McLaird and published by the South Dakota State Historical Society at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre, which is also the location of the only known letter written by the infamous trapper.
“Hugh Glass: Grizzly Survivor” tells the story of the most famous grizzly-bear attack in the history of the American West, taking readers along Glass’s 200-mile crawl across the plains and his journey of revenge against those who abandoned him. The exploits of Glass have long provided fertile ground for articles, books and film, but the real man remains a mystery.
Historian McLaird traces the threads of the legend back in time and revisits what readers know—or think they know—about Glass and his ordeal. Along the way, McLaird examines the story itself and how it reflects our changing view of the West, the development of the fur trade and the complicated relationship between humans and grizzly bears. The result is a comprehensive biography of a larger-than-life character whose fantastic story of survival has fired imaginations for nearly 200 years.
McLaird is professor emeritus of history at Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell. He is the author of the second South Dakota Biography Series book “Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane: Deadwood Legends” and numerous articles on the Black Hills and the American West.
McLaird will discuss the book at the monthly History & Heritage Book Club on Tuesday, June 14, at 7 p.m. CDT at the Cultural Heritage Center.
“Hugh Glass” is made possible in part by the Deadwood Publications Fund provided by the City of Deadwood and the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission.
“Hugh Glass: Grizzly Survivor” is the latest addition to the South Dakota Biography Series published by the South Dakota Historical Society Press. The book is available for $14.95, plus shipping and tax. It can be purchased directly from the South Dakota Historical Society Press at www.sdhspress.com or by calling (605) 773-6009. The book is also available at the Heritage Stores at the Cultural Heritage Center and state Capitol and from bookstores and online retailers.

I’ll try to comment some popular stocks according to the popular symbols list of stockcharts.
It’s not a promise, if not many people are interested, I’ll stop.
To save time, all comments are on the chart. I’ll just post screenshot here only.
GLD, TLT, USO, UUP are common too according to the popular symbols list of stockcharts but they’re regularly updated in my public chart list, please check there.
9 Comments on "01/26/2013 Featured Stocks: AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, SLV, GDX, BAC, FB"
Great charts! Thank you for the analysis on the popular stocks. Keep em coming!
Thanks Cobra. Great new feature. Really appreciate it.
I thought silver and gold should have same trend, right?
but this time, they are oppsite? Gdx not good looking, but slv may bottoming?
GDX is not gold, it’s gold mining.
SLV may act a little different than gold because SLV can serve some industrial purpose while gold doesn’t.
Also SLV bottoming is not a sure thing yet, need wait and see.
like ++, SIL silver miners also broke down 200MA. however, SLV and GLD does look much better, especially SLV.

I have an E400 which I like using on a low key gradation and vivid and then converting to monochrome...if shooting jpegs there is no problem - you get what you are given - but if shooting Raw I get confused because different Raw developers develop the image differently...is it just a case of choose the developer that suits your style?
So any thoughts or pointers folks?
It seems that the Oly software solutions offer the best sharpness/edge accentuation.
However, I think in terms of RAW developers the most important thing is the ability to get the output look the way you want it.
Oly Master is just a very badly designed user interface, so you wouldn't probably get the best output because it's such a hassle to use it!
I personally use lightroom because it takes the work out of the raw process. It's just a joy to use. I can't be bothered with Studio to be honest.
LR also gives you very good control over the BW conversion.
I have printed my 5mpix E-1 files up to A3+ and the look absolutely fabulous!

Twitter has hired Leland Rechis, a user interface designer from Google. The announcement was made by Kevin Thau, Director of Business Development at Twitter through a tweet (naturally). “Very excited to have @leland join the Twitter Mobile team today,” stated Thau.
Biz Stone and Ev Williams both worked at Google through the acquisition of Blogger before starting up Twitter. Another Google exec Doug Bowman left the search engine company to join the micro-blogging startup.
Why switch from Google to Twitter? Google has roughly 20,000 employees. Employees are probably starting to feel that their contributions aren’t as groundbreaking as they used to be. And Twitter is one of the hottest and most talked about start-ups in the Valley right now.

St Helens has a long-standing reputation of being a retirement or summer holiday town. If coming from the North of the state you would travel down the long and windy road of Elephant Pass and, just when you think the corners would never end, you hit St Marys. This is when you knew you were officially on you holiday. You may have been visiting grandparents who had chosen the stunning East Coast to retire, setting up camp at the caravan park or utilising the family’s shack. What a difference a few years makes. Many of these shacks are now Airbnbs or other forms of short-term accommodation. The road that connects these holiday towns – for example Scamander, Bicheno, Coles Bay and Swansea – will have millions of dollars spent on upgrading the route called the Great Eastern Drive. The upgrades serves two purposes – the obvious is a more enjoyable experience for the tourist, but the second and sometimes forgotten beneficiary are the locals. Today the population of St Helens will increase 10-fold. The town of 1500 people will grow towards 15,000 as many people head along to the free concert hosted by triple j. The easy part for the council and region was to say yes to the opportunity to host the concert. Then it was all about the hard work. The obvious are the issues of accommodation, infrastructure and community safety. Time will tell whether people will be able to make phone calls at the event or if anyone will be silly enough to abuse the concept of a family-friendly, booze free concert. One thing for sure is the town is ready to welcome all the visitors – whether it be fellow Tasmanians or mainlanders who jumped on a boat or plane just for the concert. Hopefully it will more than a one night stand, with many of the 15,000 expected one day returning for a second visit. A big congratulations to everyone involved in helping to create this event and showing size doesn’t matter when it comes to opportunity.

Heading off on holiday is often the highlight of the year for most travellers. But what if you have a pre-existing medical condition which is troubling you ahead of your adventure? An illness doesn't have to derail the good times – so long as you keep some crucial factors in mind prior to heading off.
First things first, it's important for any traveller – whether they have a condition or not – to ensure they have all the right documentation with them when they head overseas. UK holidaymakers will be required to have a passport on them at all times, as well as a visa if they're headed to somewhere which requires one.
It can sometimes be confusing to know when you do and don't need to have a visa. As such, you can make the most of the tool which Travisa provide to ensure you don't jet off without one.
There are understandably more stringent regulations in place at airports as a result of terrorist attacks made at the turn of the century. That said, it isn't impossible for travellers to carry medication through customs, so long as they adhere to strict rules.
Tripsavvy highlight how this should be done correctly, with medication needing to be carried in a 100 millilitre or 3.4-ounce (or smaller) container. If your medicine comes in a larger container, you can add them to your carry-on bag. Although you must declare them to a member of security.
Organising transport and a place to stay in a foreign country can be hard enough, regardless of your condition. Things are made all the more difficult when an illness is taken into account. Insurance with encourage you to think ahead when it comes to planning these kinds of things.
The name of the game here is research. Find out as much as you can to make things much simpler in the long run.
#4: Getting a "dog tag"
These small army-like necklaces are perfect for immediately alerting strangers to your condition. If, heaven forbid, you pass out somewhere, the use of a dog tag should theoretically make it easy for anyone to know what condition you suffer from (making the call to a hospital far more useful).
It would make the most sense for you to get one specially made in the language of the country you're heading to. This will naturally make things easier for anyone who might need to help you.
Don't push yourself too hard if you have a pre-existing illness. It's important to have a grasp over what your body can and can't be put through. For example, it might make sense to avoid getting involved in activities which cause you to physically exert yourself.

Your waterfront decking in Anne Arundel County can be this beautiful!
So much of beautiful Anne Arundel County sits on the water – from Pasadena to Severna Park to Annapolis – the county is replete with waterfront homes. If you own waterfront property in Anne Arundel County, there’s a pretty good chance you own it for one reason – it’s waterfront property! Homes on the water tend to sell for more money than dry lot homes, and of course the opportunities for fun and excitement are greatly multiplied, given the fishing, the crabbing, the boating, the swimming and, oh yeah, the view! But wait! Your deck railings are blocking your beautiful view! Fortunately, there is an easy way to fix that: Waterfront Decking.

Our blog hop took a little break — Deb was at the beach and I unplugged from my laptop ALL DAY LONG to play in the veggie gardens. That was the best day ever being out there with all the green babies all day.
I am amazed at how cool and comfortable it has been this summer. It is August 8th and the mornings and evenings feel like fall. I have pulled out some long sleeves to start and end the days and have open windows more than I ever have in the summer.
A challenge though is all those green tomatoes! Tomatoes like it hot to turn red and while my 50 something body loves the cooler temps, my young green babies would prefer it warmer. With that in mind, I am hoping for some hot days to come! Look at all that green!
But over at Deb’s it is colorful! She shares some beauties with us over at Dandelion House! Be sure to visit!
We are READY to blog hop and see what ya’ll are up to. Let’s get it going!
Please include the Farmgirl Friday button ( or link back here ) in your post and remember to share this hop with all of your blogging friends! We are so glad you are here!

Description: Today we spoke about women and men through the lens of Genesis two and three. Is God's will for women to be subservient to men? Are men supposed to rule over women? The Bible adamantly says, "NO!" So what is a woman's place? What is a man's place? What does God want?

Max effort monday! Before you go attempting to hold a full front lever for a nano second and consider that a set. Choose a scaled option that will allow for greater than :03 at least. Tuck, straddle, single leg etc are all acceptable.

I have some questions about the AI (artificial intelligence) of this game.
First of all I have been noticing that the AI of this game will buy players for a ridiculous amount of money. So I was wondering. What if you buy a player from a AI and sell it for the maximum amount you can ask for. I have tried it with a couple of players and they got sold in like a day. I also noticed that some of the managers at my leageu do the same thing. Buy and sell.
Here comes my question. What are the variables for a AI to buy players? Is it just the money you ask or is there a algorithm for?
I have learnd that theoretically if you buy a player worth 18mil for lets say 26mil you can put the same player at the transferlist for over 45mil. that means that you have a profit of 20mil with 1 player and I have 1 player ath the tranfer list for 45mil but it looks like the AI doesnt want to buy it.
I am pretty sure that someone already have found the sweetspot of players to buy and sell.
I would like to have some of the information that you guys have gathered.
There's no minimum or maximum amount which computer buys players.
Transfers are random, so no guarantee when a player would be sold.
The type of player you buy is up to you to decide.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's recent statement promising an end of support to terror groups does not reflect a change of policy and is motivated by the fear of getting blacklisted by the global terror-financing watchdog FATF, the country's former envoy to the US, Husain Haqqani, has said.
Days after he called the Pulwama attack a "horrible situation", US President Donald Trump, on Friday, made more comprehensive comments about the attack and the US' stance on it.
Much to Pakistan's relief, global terror financing watchdog Financial Action Task Force on Friday didn't put the country on the blacklist but condemned the Pulwama attack in strong words.
In the aftermath of the horrific Pulwama attack, France, in a major move, has decided to move the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as a "global terrorist".
In an incident that is bound to cause a furore, a Pakistan minister was seen pledging government support to 26/11 mastermind and UN designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed.
At the sidelines of the G20 summit in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MbS) on Friday.
A second team of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is in Pakistan to hold meetings with top officials to discuss the measures taken by the country to counter terror financing after it was added in the 'grey list' for providing monetary assistance to terrorists.

Any artist will tell you there is no better place to be than the ZONE. This weekend I worked all sorts of hours and it felt like no time at all. I have been in the zone before but never this deep. Once out of it, I was confused and dazed. It was almost a scary feeling and if that is one of the side effects of deep zoning than I am willing to have more of it. Here are some of the pieces I created while in that zone. Tomorrow I will be adding the finishing touches on it and this piece called “The Ringmaster and his Prey” will be finished and in line behind the “Evil Clown” waiting to be hung in my new studio… I will announce more on that in the springtime. So many great things I have in store for my young readers this year!
Previous Post I LOVE the artist village!

The Polyvalent has been our longest running frameset, going back almost eight years. It started from humble beginnings as a cantilever-braked, low-trail city bike sporting nondescript matte-black paint with orange decals. The Mark 2 and Mark 3 versions got new paint jobs, updated tubing, better accessory mountings, and other evolutionary changes. Now it's time for version 4.
The prototype frames made it just in time for Philly Bike Expo. We had lots of great feedback from folks who saw it.
We've kept all the good stuff: double butted chromoly frame and fork construction, 1" threaded steerer, elegant fork bend, low-trail front end, 650b wheels, kickstand plate, and plenty of fender and rack mounts.
The big change is Disc brakes. The frame and fork will have IS mounts and are designed around 160mm rotors.
Increased tire clearances: 47mm tires with fenders. And new (57mm or so) fenders will be available.
Normal fit: the original Polyvalents were designed with long top tubes for upright bars, but if you wanted to use drop bars, it meant less-than-optimal fit for most riders. The new version will have a shorter top tube and the same fit as our Campeur and Pass Hunter.
Internal rear brake cable routing: Same setup as Pass Hunter Disc, internal tube for easy and clean routing.
Triple water bottle bosses on top of the down tube. Tall bottles, easier to reach bottles, big bottles.
Wrap-around seat stays: because they look so good and provide wider seat stay clearances.
Vertical dropouts with stainless hanger: Sliding, swinging, and alternating dropouts are solutions that add significant complications to construction and still only work for some applications. Use a chain tensioner if you need.
You may have noticed that there's no fork. It wasn't ready in time, and we are considering using a new custom VO fork crown on this and some other future frame models.
Tubing is double butted 4130 chromoly. Downtube is 31.8. Top tube is also 31.8 for better control with loads, though we may go with an ovalized top tube depending on how testing goes and if planing is adequate.
We're really excited to have the Polyvalent back in action, and look forward to R&D rides with the VO gang!
on this frame it's ok, but we really need EBB on Piolet! Chain-tensioner is not a solution!
don't even think about changing that color - it's perfect.
shorter top-tube? I guess if I go with a new frame, it will be with someone else.
How will this compare/contrast with the Pass Hunter Disc?
Any chance of getting a taller headtube to avoid having to use a huge stack of spacers? I'd be willing to give up a horizontal top tube to get it. Otherwise, it looks very intriguing!
We know how to handle shimmy. It won't be an issue.
The Passhunter is for all day sporty riding and the Polyvalent is more of a do all, load bearing bike. Different handling characteristics and a few more braze-ons for the Polyvalent.
It's disappointing to see that it is disc brake only.
I was very anti-disc brakes for quite a while after temperamental BB7s and a leak in one of my Deore hydraulic disc brake calipers. However, the TRP Spyres have turned me into a believer again.
I'd like to second a taller/longer head-tube if possible. Super-excited for this model as it seems to be the do-everything frame that I'm after. Assuming all goes well with the testing/prototyping, think we'll see a production run of these in Q1 or Q2 of 2017?
Keep up the great work! Love coming to the blog and seeing eye-candy like this!
This is the exact bike that I was looking for 2 years ago. So glad to see more awesome bike options available.
What a beautiful bicycle. Perfect color, great details. Everybody's got opinions and here's a thought I had. I've grown to appreciate a larger than 10mm difference in size between tire and fender so consider getting the new 650b in the 60mm range. Thanks for all your great stuff. Also, on a side note, I'd put in a humble request for 26"x57-60mm facette/zeppelin alloy fenders with just a tad more wrap than the smooth 60 currently available.
Looks great!! Any chance you have sizes in mind already? 61 or 63 for the large size frames?
Ugh, why are all the budget nerd bikes threaded? Threadless is great.
Any dates for the larger fenders? Sounds like a good alternative to Honjo H79 models.
With a shorter top tub, I would imagine it's a bit more similar to the Campeur --so if one prefers not to have discs, then the Campeur can be an ideal option.
I was delighted to see a 1" threaded fork since this offers more adjust-ability for fit. Because of neck problems, I raise and lower my quill stem depending on the length and nature of the riding conditions.
Kick stand plate, 1" threaded fork, disc = nice, nice nice.
Gorgeous as always with VO. Love the rear dropout and wraparound seat stays. Not super stoked on the disc brakes only. Would adding mounts to the bridge and fork crown for caliper brakes be an option to give more build flexibility for grouches like me?
Were there tubing changes from the MK2 to the MK3?
Is the change only on the new MK4?
This looks like a small sized frame, can a taller headtube be used to increase the stack height. And instead of maintaining the top tube horizontal, allow it to rise. This would get rid of the top and bottom tubes from meeting together before meeting the head tube. By making it this way the small size frames will have a bit more room in the main frame's triangle. I hope this frame also has no front wheel/toe overlapping because your current 49cm Campeur and 53 cm Rando frames has this issue.
Back when I was about to put together a load-bearing city bike, the Polyvalent mk3 looked like a great option, but it was discontinued before I was ready to commit. I ended up building up a very high end build around a NOS Kogswell PR frame instead. The Polyvalent mk4 looks great - love the color, love the use of discs for a load-carrying bike, love the 1" threaded steerer, love the braze ons - but the shorter top tube means I'll be looking elsewhere as well for my next frame. Long torso means that I'm cramped on "normal" length frames.
Looks like another great bicycle from VO in the making! +1 for a taller head tube and a slightly sloped top tube. While it's an aesthetic compromise compared to classic geometry, it better suits the use case of such a versatile frame and overall makes for a more attractive build.
Will these frames have the same short stack relative to reach as the Pass Hunter? Just seems to be at odds with VO's philosophy. It's shorter than even modern "endurance" geometry. Good for you for doing what you like with the threaded steerer, but with disc brakes? Uh. . . it's peerless at least.
What do the rack attachments look like so far?
Agree with many of the comments on the head tube length/stack. The Pass Hunter has a lower/more aggressive stack to reach ratio than most bikes out there, even racing bikes. For example, a Pinarello Dogma size 59.5 has a 612mm stack and 394mm reach. A 59cm Pass Hunter's stack is 580mm and reach is 402mm.
With that short head tube, there is very little room for adjustment of stem height. Once you have the minimum insertion distance in, there will be little room left over. That diminishes the chief advantage of a threaded steerer. What, besids being different, is the point?
Bring back the Rando, please! I can't even find a 59 cm used. I can give you my credit card number now! (Go for all the reach/tire-clearance you can get from centre-pulls, thanks).
This checks literally every box for me. I was willing to compromise and do a passhunter disc and keep my Rawland rSogn as a true low-trail bike, but I'll happily swap out the rSogn, get the disc brakes, threaded steerer and a shorter reach! Any rough ideas on time-to-market? How about a beta-tester program? eh? eh?
yes, what size is that prototype?
I remember even my 55cm campeur's headtube was pretty short - perhaps an extension is needed up top above the tt?
Hey folks, good eyes. I didn't notice the head tube being like that with the top tube & down tube meeting there. So I agree with the comment about the issues that would be experienced with a quill stem which is the preferred stem for me. I don't want disc brakes either. Bosses for good centre-pull brakes would be my preference. I've been cycling for quite a few years now & have never experienced any issues with caliper brakes.....ever. Since it's not "broken" I don't think it needs fixing. Besides if I hate change, which might be an argument about my point of view, why should I be forced to? So I've been waiting with bated breath for this latest rendition of the Polyvalent...the shortened top tube that makes it have a more normal proportioned geometry is what I was really hoping for, but I don't think I'd be able to stomach the head tube or disc brakes. I'll wait for the production frames to see what they finally come up with, but I don't think they'll change the two items mentioned. Too much $$$ invested in the disc option I'd think, in order to nix it now. Oh well.
It's the last poster again folks. About disc brakes...I might be able to learn to love them...so just the head tube issue??
Are we willing to relax a design constraint by going with a less traditional style of a non-horizontal top tube in order to address head tub height? If this design change were made then it's starting to look like a 650 platform Camargue but with a threaded fork and disc brakes (and of course a beloved and dignified kick stand plate).
That color (in the photos, at least) is really similar to my Trek Steel District. Love it. As for the discs, I won't be buying new bikes without them going forward. Looks great.
One more vote for an extended head tube.
This question is relevant to my interests.
Hi. As a current Polyvalent MkII owner, I really like what I am seeing here, I may have to update when this v4 becomes available. One question I have is will the trail numbers be changing on this new version? If you use the fork from the Camargue on the first run, won't that effect the trail higher towards mid-trail range? Not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe I'm just missing the way these things work. I know the Camargue is more of a mid-trail bike at 56 compared to 37 for my current Polyvalent.
@Bill I think they stated that the first production run would simply share the same fork crown as the Camargue, not the exact same fork and it's dimensions. Also Camargue is 1-1/8" threadless vs. the 1" threaded that is planned for the Polyvalent MK4.
Suh-weeeeet!!! I've put 5k miles on my polyvalent MK3 - it's amazingly versatile. I gave up my car after getting my MK3!
The ONLY problem with the MK3 is that rim brakes are a maintenance & safety issue for me when commuting in the wet Pacific Northwest. For everyone saying rim brakes are fine, for about half the year I totally agree. My mini-V's are dialed in to one-finger braking bliss in the drops and require exactly 0 hours maintenance... again, for about half the year. The moment they get wet & salty road water on them, they produce a sludge that I need to clean off immediately or I get dramatically reduced stopping power.
Ha, everyone's got a wish, so here's mine (and no-one's mentioned it). Sorry VO, but your Porteur Rack needs better triangulation to carry over ~10 lbs comfortably uphill, and the MK3 needed more porteur rack eyelets/braze-ons similarly. I had a local bike welder add fork crown eyelets to triangulate the top of my porteur rack (plus some Surly "nice rack" replacement parts), and it was the biggest little addition to my MK3's handling I've made. Went from feeling like I was pushing a big slinky uphill to feeling like nothing at all. Mid-fork braze-ons would also do the trick.
When can we see the MK4?
Would you characterize the ride as lively, or stiff?
Can MK4 be used with 26"? I want to use 26" x 2.3 (Rat Trap Pass), would be darn cool.
This is now a pointless bike.
The new add-ons & frame changes only serve to make it a (frankly, ugly) version of bikes already made by Rawland, Soma & Surly (should the Polyvalent reeeealy be competing in the same market space as Soma's Wolverine & Surly's Straggler?). If VO needed such a frame to vie for market share, they should have just designed a wholly new frame from the ground up rather than torture an existing one into becoming something it was never intended to be; the original Polyvalent (Mk.1 - 3) was almost unique, with it's only competition being Soma's Grand Randonneur & Rivendell's varied offerings (which are far beyond either Soma or VO's average price-point).
Now..? It's just another 650b CX frame- like many, many others.
Is there an estimate for the release date?
Agree with many of the commenters wanting greater stack and longer head tube. Pass Hunter geo's stack is way too low for most people.
Given that any one single frame cannot please everyone, being critical of it when there are other choices would be nothing but ignorance. Best wishes on it's sale.
I wonder if that last bullet pointed feature, reinforced head tube, is in response to Version 3 issue.
I’ll be testing front-end configurations to find out why my PV III felt ‘light’, frankly unstable, at 32mph. Near-empty handlebar-bag in front w Chris King headset the cause? I’ll remove the bag and see.
Low trail bikes will often feel "nervous" when unloaded. Rather than testing unloaded, put more weight in the front rather than less, and you'll see the geometry really shine. For the newest iteration, the trail is a bit higher and feels very stable both loaded and unloaded.

Athletes aren't the only ones injured at sporting events. Fans can also suffer injuries from slip and falls, trip and falls, accident debris and even assault. Certain spectator accidents make the news. In 2011, news outlets told the story of a fan who suffered brain damage after a brutal attack in the parking lot at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. This year, we heard about a NASCAR Daytona 500 crash that sent debris hurtling toward fans.
Many more spectator injuries never make the news. Fans are injured when they slip and fall on wet floors, fall down bleachers, are hit by flying objects (such as baseballs or pucks) or are victims of negligent security and the actions of drunk fans.
If you were injured at Staples Center, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum or another sports venue near Los Angeles, who can you hold accountable? The owners of the sporting venue? Another fan? The manufacturers of defective bleachers? The answer is different in each California sporting event injury case.
In some cases, owners of sports arenas can be held accountable through premises liability lawsuits, but there are limits to this liability. For example, if you are hit by a ball during a Dodgers game, it may be difficult to hold the owners of Dodger Stadium liable. Getting hit by a baseball is a risk associated with the game; by attending the game, you assume that risk.
Furthermore, many sporting event tickets include restrictive clauses that limit liability and can prevent some negligence cases from moving forward. Yet, while waivers of liability and release clauses are "catch-all" clauses, many injured plaintiffs can still recover compensation.
For example, if your injury was unexpected -- that is, one that does not normally occur during the sporting event -- it may be possible to sue the owners of the sports venue. NASCAR fans injured in the Daytona 500 crash will be able to argue that their waivers did not include waiving the risk of being hit by car parts, especially when there was a protective barrier to prevent spectator injuries from race accidents.
Injured fans may also hold the owners of sporting venues accountable for failing to properly maintain their property and warn against hazards. Property owners must take reasonable action to keep a property safe. If they know of a hazard, fail to warn visitors of the hazard, and the hazard causes an injury, they may be held accountable. Similarly, if they do not provide adequate security, crowd control or lighting and a fan is injured as a result, they may face a premises liability lawsuit.
Other spectators: Drunk and negligent fans can cause other spectators to fall down stairs, trip over hazards or be injured in auto accidents. They may even assault other fans, in which case they can also face criminal charges.
Manufacturers of defective structures and equipment: If spectators are injured by defects in bleachers, safety nets, protective walls, sporting equipment or other defects, it may be possible to bring product liability lawsuits against the manufacturers or construction companies responsible for the defects.
As you can see, multiple variables affect accountability for spectator injuries. A law firm experienced in handling sports fan injury cases can evaluate your case, help you determine who is liable and bring a lawsuit to recover compensation for your medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering and other damages you have suffered.

The Busan-born Oh directed “The 101st Proposal” in Seoul’s old film capital, Chungmuro, but returned home to become the first GM of the Busan International Film Festival. Helping the festival grow into the biggest showcase for Asian films, he made the Korea-Japan-Thailand co-production “Camellia” before becoming director of the Busan Film Commission. That organization, as head of the Asian Film Commissions Network, was decidedly proactive. In 2018, Oh was appointed to reposition the Korean Film Council, the state regulator and financier tarnished by a political policy of blacklisting talent amid a turbulent time for the country that saw the impeachment of the South Korean president. Among Oh’s plans for KOFIC: a pan-Asian film-industry network.
CEO The Korean media company boss has expanded the film giant’s market beyond Asia, growing it into an all-around studio.
Founder The S.M. Entertainment founder pioneered the game-changing emergence of K-pop and now looks to grow it worldwide.
Chairman A surprise choice to head China’s dominant state-owned film company, but he has shown a steady hand.
Founder / Chairman / CEO The of Bona Film Group boss has a taste for corporate gambles, and he picks far more winners than losers.

The Unspeakable (Puma) is now in its second edition, a version with the same storyline but repackaged. Newly categorized under Christian Suspense, and International Mystery & Crime, if you have not yet read this book I invite you to do so – though it might keep you up at night.
When bad things happen to good people, what then?
When a furtive conflict is pitted between violent leftist guerrillas and a rightwing paramilitary group in Colombia, a North American woman mistakenly gets caught in the middle.
“I spent four months, one week and two days in a clandestine prison referred to as The Water Cave. Every day I stared hell in the face, and each day I wanted to die. I don’t want to share too much too quickly. To understand fully, you must join hands with me, fasten your heart to mine, and course through my book. Stumble over the incomprehensible human rights journey with me. I've pondered it to the brink of questionable sanity, and it's the only way to explain. I suppose I should consider myself lucky I survived at all—for many did not—yet, perplexingly so, that’s not the premise of this narrative.
He altered my life, marked me forever.
But it’s not how you might imagine.
The deeper the darkness, the deeper the awareness of grace.
From where has God brought you?
A writer, I often prefer stepping away from safely bubbled literature into something rawer, more tragic and real. Drawn to the psychological divergence of the night season, it's not quite the night season of temporary circumstances - but the powerful light near the end that beckons. Light appears brighter as you step from the shadows. Grasp that light tightly with newfound gratitude...I do every time.
Jesus knew beforehand of Judas Iscariot’s betrayal, expected it, even waited for it, yet he still washes the man’s feet. Washing of feet was an act of servitude provided as an example to us of acceptance, of humility, of love, of forgiveness. I am both baffled and intrigued by the role of Judas – also, of how Christians view him. Most would say that Judas was possessed, for we are told the devil entered him, and lost forever. But Jesus, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, in a single moment would be betrayed by ALL, washes the feet of the one people blame the most for perfidy.
Iscariot, indeed, had a weakness for silver. The treasurer for the disciples, he pilfered along the way. Jesus knew this, yet kept him as overseer of the money bag. Why?
My thought is that somebody had to play the role of Judas. If not Judas, then somebody else had to fulfill the prophecy of the messiah, his torture, his death, his resurrection – salvation, the avenue intended for every soul’s ultimate deliverance unto God. Maybe there’s a wider spot of clemency for the one chosen to fulfill an ugly yet necessary role.
Many would say that Judas was beyond help, uncaring, unfeeling and consumed with sinful nature. Yet after realizing what he had done, that is, was paid to identify his master to the Roman soldiers via the Sanhedrin by poetically placing a kiss on his cheek, scripture (Matthew 27:5) says that he threw down the pieces of silver he received as payment for the dirty deed, and went out and hanged himself. Does that sound like somebody who was uncaring and unfeeling?
The end appears hopeless. Judas hung himself – an act of desperation. And after the body had fried in the hot Jerusalem sun, bloated from bacterial gases, it fell to the ground and erupted. It’s a messy, distorted picture. It appears like he got what he deserved and this was his entrance to hell.
But who would really know, except God, if Judas Iscariot, an unconditionally loved child of God, in his last remorseful breath, had cried out in his weakened constitution, “Forgive me. Forgive me.” In that private, desperate moment, between him and his maker, who could honestly say?
Forgiveness driven or regret driven…is there even a difference?
My sister (who knows me better than anyone) told me that I HAVE to see a movie called Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. It’s a take of a PlayStation game. I’m not into gaming or animation much, but my sister was insistent that I watch this one. And, wow. I've observed the movie several times to completely absorb the action, political tension, brilliant CGI animation, and epic music combined. What consumed me, however (my sister is always right), was the spiritual symbolism along with the theme of forgiveness. It centered on a character named Cloud.
Cloud, a former member of an elite combat force, an ex-soldier, walked away from the life of a hero to live in solitude. He is unable to forgive himself for the bloodshed in which his hands had partaken. Although plagued by painful recollections, powerful allies, such as Vincent Valentine (he's my favorite. Again, sister guessed it) who has also dealt with remorse, manage to draw Cloud back into battle to help protect and to fight, to make right what had gone wrong for all of them.

Flea and tick control that people love is the kind that keeps these pests from affecting your whole family, not just your cat or dog. Your animals can bring fleas and ticks to your residence, ensconce themselves in your lawn, and assure a steady supply of unwanted visitors to your home. That's why the flea and tick control MA people need is the kind that eliminates them from the outside.
You can always clear your house from fleas and ticks but every time your animal goes outside, your animal will bring a fresh supply back to the home. That's why the flea and tick control MA residents know and trust is the service from SSE Landscape.
Environmental conditions that cause problems are: proximity to woods, open fields, wildlife and pets near your home can lead to an infestation of these pesky and potentially harmful critters. The lawn care MA homeowners want takes all these factors into account.
Fleas must be eliminated from your lawn and garden because they can easily move inside on pets or humans. They usually multiply rapidly and can quickly infest carpets and upholstered furniture. Treatment programs are also essential where ticks become a problem in the landscape because ticks can carry Lyme disease. The good news is that professional treatment programs will help rid your lawn of fleas and ticks. We have the flea and tick control MA residents know and trust.
We can help keep fleas and ticks away from your family by working together to develop a solid plan for their control with a total of 4 treatments per year. This program is recommended for home owners close to heavily wooded areas. Prompt treatment as soon as a problem is noticed will prevent the invaders from migrating to inside living spaces. Whatever your flea and tick control needs, please feel free to call us for more information.

Trimming The Fat: Judas Priest… NOSTRADAMUS!
When Judas Priest announced in 2007 that their next release would be a concept album based on Nostradamus, and that it would be a double album, I was less than thrilled. In 2005, the band released their first album with Rob Halford on vocals since 1990’s Painkiller, and it was an enjoyable effort. Doing a concept double album seemed like an unnecessary left turn for a band that had just gotten things back on track a few years earlier. I wanted Priest to get back to their roots–that of a classic heavy metal band–rather than symphonic metal with a bloated sense of importance.
Even now, Nostradamus is a chore to get through. 23 tracks and an hour and forty-two minutes long. No sole studio release should be that long! Double albums are fine if you’re talking about live releases or if you’ve got enough bonus material, but anything else is needless filler to me.
So, with another installment of Trimming The Fat, I’m going to chop Nostradamus down by half. Whatever story Judas Priest thought they needed all 23 tracks to tell, I don’t care. My goal is to get boil this all down to the very best tracks possible, concept and moody instrumentals be damned. Even if you do pare this double album down to one, you can’t really save it. Outside of a few tracks, it’s not a very good album, but let’s try our best, shall we?
I decided to start the album off in a huge way. Other than deleting tons of songs from the original album, the only change I made from the remaining songs was to move “Nostradamus” to Track 1. The rest I left to run in their original chronological order. “Nostradamus” is easily the most Priest-like song on the whole album. On the actual release of the album, this doesn’t show up until Track 9 on Disc 2.
The following four tracks (“Prophecy”, “Revelations”, “Death”, “Persecution”) are all solid heavy tracks that may vary in pace, but still let you know that Priest is a heavy metal band.
“Exiled” and “Alone” (along with “Nostradamus”) have always been my favorite tracks from this album. They were paired together on the original album and I can’t imagine pulling these two dark & moody numbers apart now.
That leaves the hopeful & melodic “New Beginnings” to close out the album. You’ve made it through the storm and darkness and now the album ends on serene & dreamy note.
There! That wasn’t so bad now, was it? 8 tracks, 52 minutes and none of those symphonic instrumentals they put all over this album. The album still runs a bit too long for my liking thanks to the length of the songs, but I was still above to shave off about 50 minutes (!) from it.
Quite some time ago I took a look at Guns N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion albums, took the best tracks and laid out what I thought one single album should’ve looked like (never mind there is a UYI compilation… mine is better). Well, I’m here to do that again.
The subject? Metallica. The albums? Load and ReLoad.
The original plan was for Load to be a double album but with some songs coming along slower than others, this idea was scrapped. The 14-track Load was released in June 1996 while the band continued to work on the remaining songs and released them as ReLoad (13-tracks and essentially “Disc 2” of Load) in November 1997.
Both albums are completely filled with, er, um… filler. Too many tracks, too many long tracks. Load is nearly 79 minutes. ReLoad is 76 minutes. Both albums are WAY TOO LONG.
I know it’s fashionable online to bash anything and everything this band has done since 1991 (even 1988 if you’re particularly grouchy) but mid/late ’90s Metallica wasn’t too bad. Were they card carrying members of the Metal Militia anymore? Absolutely not but that doesn’t mean they weren’t able to spit out a few good hard rock numbers… even if those songs did have a southern rock and/or alternative vibe. Corrosion of Conformity, anyone? What is too bad is that Metallica thought they were onto something so special that they felt they needed 2 albums, 27 tracks and 2.5 hours to tell their tale.
Of course I profess no great skill when it comes to sequencing the tracks, so you mileage may vary, but I will not budge on “Fixxxer” being the closer.
So there you have it. I think these 11 tracks are really the only ones worth listening to from Load & ReLoad and with a running time of a little over 60 minutes, it may still be a tad lengthy but certainly better than nearly 80 minutes!
Guns N’ Roses‘ Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II are both very good releases, but were mired in filler. This is to be expected when you release 30 songs at once though.

Over the last few decades, the majority of people have chosen to focus on their home rather than seeking entertainment elsewhere. They see their home as a canvas they can use to create beauty, and interior design has answered their call. For those who prefer outdoor living, modern manufacturers have come up with new designs to help them with their patios, decks and even pool areas. For those who want to show off their garden, artists far and wide can be counted on to add small touches that will showcase the beauty of living plants.
Location is an important factor when buying a home, but there are many affordable places that have little or no good views. Many homeowners have found the answer to this dilemma is to shut out the outside world, but walls are seldom the best answer. For them, planting a garden is the easier and least expensive way for them to create a beautiful view out the back windows without moving to another location. Visitors will see their efforts as soon as they approach the back of the house, and a good garden design will make them want to stay and enjoy it.
One of the best compliments any homeowner can receive is finding their guests reluctant to leave their garden area, and those who put in long hours on design and planting will find this a fitting reward. It is best to have a place where guests and family can sit to enjoy the area, so adding a gazebo to the garden is a natural choice. It can be surrounded by plants with a path leading up to it, and the choice of pavers is now open for those who want to create a sense of being in the wilderness.
Space is at a premium in many areas, so it is important to plan a garden that will give the maximum amount of pleasure in the smallest of spaces. Rather than having a straight path through the area, it is best to make it a winding one with plantings on both sides. It is important to keep the visitors safe, so starting with a good bed of silica sand will ensure a level path, and pavers that blending into the design of the garden will make it beautiful as well. For those who do not have a local source of good sand for their pathway, Minerals Marketing can ship it directly to them.
The beauty of nature has often been used as a way to help people escape the pressures of life, and it is even more necessary in the modern world. Creating an outdoor showplace does not take a huge investment of money, but it can be a way to develop a hobby over the long hours it can take to create the perfect garden. Manufacturers now have plenty of choices for modern homeowners to discover their own outdoor preferences, so creating a stylish garden where family as well as visitors will spend hours relaxing is easier than ever before.

← How long would it take?
Ok so things are starting to get serious now. Maybe we might be able to do something, but what about the language, should we learn some, but we don’t know if Portugal is right for us! Will we be able to, we don’t do learning! Are there any courses? OK break out the Google again. Well that’s good there is a basic course in Brighton starting September, just a year, not too pricey, let’s do it.
Click done! Oh heck what have we started?
Well we did go, and at the start we quite enjoyed it, there was a good mix of people, all ages, all there for different reasons, which was interesting in its self. As the year progressed it did become harder and I think towards the end we both found it a little too hard / fast for us so we did bail when there was about 5 lessons to go. On the positive we did learn quite a lot although we may not have realised at the time, as we were later to find as we visited Portugal more, we actually understood a lot more than we thought. Did we do it a bit early? I think maybe we did, but I also think if we had left it till the next year it would have been too late.
One thing we did find that apart from the really rural areas, most Portuguese have a reasonable handle on English anyway. Many times we would endeavor to communicate in Portuguese only to have the reply returned in near perfect English. I still think it was a good thing to do, but not as important as I thought. However saying that the locals did always appreciate and where always a lot more incline to more helpful when we did at least try.
The wonderful world of the internet also provides a whole number of useful tools, Google scores again with its translation service which will also speak the result. Another very useful site is memorise.

The valley formed by River Rhein and River Erft shares geographical similarity with Holland. Around 50 castles were built since middle age and finished in 18th century in this area. Most of them are surrounded with moats. These castles are mostly small but nice to see although they do not have the grandeur like Versailles or Palace Sanssouci has. Greatly influenced by the arts of middle age, Renaissance, Barocco in 17th century and Rococo in 18th century, these castles symbolize unique mixture of varieties of cultures transpiring unforgettable impressions. Due to financial difficulties of being not able to continue by their own power, these castles are now overtaken and sponsored by local governments or foundations to restore their original appearances and carry new functions. These castles are now mostly renewed to be ideal venues for festivals and art activities or exhibitions. The following introduced castles are very close to Weng-Hennen House reachable by car or public transportations.
During his one-week visit from 20.04.215 to 26.04.2015 in Germany, Director Wei Te-Sheng chose to stay at Weng-Hennen House. As a famous director in Taiwan, Wei has directed 3 successful films including Cape No.7, Warriors of Rainbow: Seedig Bale, and KANO. These 3 films describe contemporary history of Taiwan with emphasis of Japanese colonialization era. His passion toward film as an art to show high cultural concern makes the 3 films unique and popular.

Good price, excellent cigars and free shipping to Sakhalin island about 3 weeks. I can recommend this seller to buy real Cuba cigars.
Excellent full body smoke that will not disappoint. Received in excellent condition in 11 days. Will reorder this one for sure.
This is my second box of this cigar and I realized they go well with activities during the day such as while fishing, golfing or sailing.
It's a inexpensive Cuban made of short filler so ash dropping on your shirt and an occasional tight drawing specimen can be expected. Having said that, it still tastes very good. I will buy these again.
Precise delivery and great sticks!
My cigars took about two weeks to deliver and the wait was worth it. The Partagas box I ordered was in great shape and had been produced over a year and four months. With definitely order more. Thanks again!

"I am writing in regards to The Listening Program. I recently purchased it and used it with my daughter. The program was the basic program, 2- 15 minutes sets per day. Having participated in both the Tomatis and the Berard methods in the past, I must say, this was not only more convenient, but easier overall. My daughter is 22 years old and is mentally disabled with autistic tendencies, she is also non-verbal and has behavior problems due to not having a good form of communication.
I decided to give your program a try, based on a parents' recommendation with your previous program. After completion of our first 8 weeks I must say, I am extremely pleased with the results. My daughter has shown improvements in the following ways: More motivation, more verbal, calmer, more cooperative, more compliant, happier, more interactive, has more patience, she is willing to wait now, where as before the training she was not, and would react negatively. I also want to say, having Lori Riggs as my Provider, available whenever I needed, made this venture less frightening to me as a parent. Knowing that someone was there to help me if problems arouse was very reassuring. Lori was great. She answered all my questions and helped me with any concerns.
I have already recommended your home listening program to other parents and will continue to do so. We are starting on our second 8-week session. My daughter seems to enjoy listening now more than ever.
Thank you ABT for creating a home program. This has certainly made our family's life easier. Also, I need to mention, now that the noise of the vacuum cleaner does not bother my daughter anymore, she is actually starting to help with the vacuuming."

We offer annual onsite repair contracts for all makes and models of thermal transfer and direct thermal printer systems. We can offer 2 different packages for onsite support including our Premium Plus printer repair contract.
The Premium and Premium Plus contracts are offered with a NEXT BUSINESS WORKING DAY response level. This means that the call will be responded to by 5pm on the following working day.
This contract DOES NOT include the cost of visits for fitting consumable parts such as print heads and platen rollers, visits due to media issues, support for labelling software, printer repairs due to malicious damage or issues as a result of operator misuse.
These include the parts on a printer that are high wear items and include the print-head, platen and pinch rollers. In other words these items need changing on a regular basis depending on the volume of media passing through the printer.
This contract DOES include the cost of visits for fitting consumable parts* such as print heads and platen rollers but does not include the cost of these parts. The contract also includes visits as required due to media issues or printer setup. This contract does not include the cost of visits or repairs for malicious damage.
Prevent lost production by identifying and rectifying faults before they occur. Our engineers will give your printer a health check and a service to ensure that it is ready for optimal performance. Preventative maintenance visit can be carried out on single or multiple printer; pricing will very depending on ow may printers are on site.
When a faulty printer isn’t covered under an annual printer contract, Ad Hoc call outs allow the printer to be repaired on a call by call basis without the need for a contract. An engineer will be dispatched to assess and, if possible, repair the printer.
A standard call out charge is applied which includes the first half an hour on site. An hourly charge is then applied for every hour (or part of) that the engineer is on site. Half day or full day rate are available to book in advance. Please note that location surcharges may apply depending on location.
Crown Labels aims to have an engineer on site the next working day but this may extend to 3 days depending on contractual workload.
Like to request a Callout or need further help?
Crown Labels can offer a on site workshop repair service for when this is a more suitable option than sending an engineer. Workshop repairs are often the most cost effective solution for non-urgent repairs, and ideal for companies that have spare printers available.
For a small fee Printers can be sent in for workshop inspection and will be assessed within two working days at which point a quotation will be generated, advising on the costs to fix the printer. Repairs will be carried out within 3 days of authorisation (subject to parts availability). The workshop inspection fee will be refunded if a workshop repair goes ahead.
Our team of engineers can provide printer and equipment installations to suit our customers needs.
Our standard installation service includes engineer callout, unpacking the printer, printer set up and the connection to a pre-loaded standard labelling software program (non networked). Our engineer will also show the operator the basic printer functions.
Our printer and software installation service includes the engineer travelling to site, unpacking the printer, printer set up, loading the standard Windows labelling software program onto a local computer (non networked). Our engineer will also show the operator the basic printer functions.
The course will be hands on with the operators encouraged to have a go at every aspect.
The course is primarily designed for novice printer operators. If you require a customised course for more experienced staff, please contact us for further information.

Grab the GraphAware Neo4j Framework and GraphAware Neo4j RestTest jars from the Downloads page. Drop them into the plugins directory of your Neo4j installation and restart the server to be able to use the API’s.
All you have to do is POST your cypher to http://your-server-address:7474/graphaware/resttest/assertSameGraph or http://your-server-address:7474/graphaware/resttest/assertSubgraph to verify the state of your graph.
Continuing with the sample project from the previous post, we’ve moved away from embedded Neo4j and instead talk to a Neo4j server. ConnectionFactory now returns a handle to a JDBC Connection.
The unit test itself remains mostly unchanged.
Conveniently exposed as REST endpoints, RestTest lends itself nicely to testing against your Neo4j server in any language that can make an HTTP request.
