Are breakfast boards the new charcuterie board?! Our answer is Y-E-S! We’re wishing for the weekend right now so we can throw one of these boards together and eat some breakfast in bed. You may be wondering what to use your new Berries + Thyme with, and breakfast food is one of our favorite ways!
So you know we’ve got you covered with something sweet, our Berries + Thyme jam! We slather it on yogurt, waffles, croissants, or all bread of any kind really. The thyme adds a hint of earthy, savory flavor that goes well with anything breakfast.
For the salt, we had to have bacon. Because what would a breakfast be without it? And you can tell we like carbs because on our perfect breakfast board there’s at least 2; waffles and croissants!
To add some healthiness and filling protein we added eggs and a bowl of greek yogurt into the mix, as well as some fresh blueberries!
The sky is the limit with these boards! Put your own spin on it by adding some cheese, biscuits, oatmeal and more!
What would YOU add to your ideal breakfast board?
We’ve JUST launched our first blueberry pre-order of the season, Berries + Thyme, and we are so excited about it! We’re taking the last strawberries of Florida strawberry season, and the first berries of Florida blueberry season and making a sweet, herbal jam you can use on anything….especially cheese.
Ok, now for the cheese! Because Berries + Thyme is a sweet jam with a savory component, truly any cheese pairs deliciously. We chose 3 of our favorite types of cheeses to share with you. Any of these types of cheese paired with nut crackers and our limited batch jam will take your wine night to the next level!
If you haven’t pre-ordered your Berries + Thyme, hurry! You only have until next Monday to order, and once it’s out for the public, it won’t be around long! You can pre-order it here.
We’re pretty lucky that winter in Florida typically means sunny days, breezy wind, and golden orange citrus. This week we took a trip out to Dooley Groves to hand pick some special home-grown honeybells for February’s Jam of the Month!
We spent a beautiful day out in the groves plucking the JUICIEST honeybells from the trees. There’s nothing like spending a day on the farm and then preserving it at it’s peak. This month’s Jam of the Month will feature these oranges in a Creamsicle Marmalade that will have you feeling like a kid again. We took honeybell oranges, and fresh vanilla bean to create this and we can’t WAIT for you all to try! Not a member of the Jam of the Month Club? You can sign up here!
Have you ever done a U-Pick in Florida? It’s about the time of year where you can pick all kinds of fruit for yourselves like strawberries, blueberries, citrus, blackberries, and more! We love to take advantage of Florida’s fruit season. You can find U-Pick farms in your area by clicking on the county of your preference below. Happy picking!
We came across this Bon Appetit article this week about different ways to make the best PB+J sandwiches according to chefs across the country. We spotted a lot of strawberry jam in these sandwich ideas, and with the launch of our Strawberry Bourbon jam this weekend, we HAD to test a few out. Get your Strawberry Bourbon jam, fav PB, bread and a few extras and get ready for the tastiest PB+Js around!
Our first PB+J idea comes from Chef Peter Lemon of Wax Paper in LA.
Take potato bread and layer with creamy peanut butter, Strawberry Bourbon jam, fresh peanuts, and freshly cut strawberries. For easiest sandwich eating, cut in a diagonal!
Our second PB+J idea comes from Chef John Bates of Noble Sandwich Co in Austin, TX.
Toast brioche bread in a cast iron skillet with both sides layered with crunchy peanut butter and Strawberry Bourbon jam. For easiest sandwich eating, cut in a diagonal!
Our last PB+J idea comes from Chef Casey Rebecca Nunes of Media Noche in San Fransisco.
First mix some sambal (buy it here) with creamy peanut butter. Then fry up some bacon and layer your bread with spicy peanut butter, Strawberry Bourbon jam, and bacon. Add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet and fry sandwich on both sides.
We wanna know! Which sandwich are you going to try with your Strawberry Bourbon jam? Show us your PB+Js!
If your mouth is already watering, it’s totally fine, that’s exactly what happened to us when we thought of this recipe! There’s lots of holiday food recipes with leftovers swirling around, but what about with your left over jam? Maybe you have some Cranberry Whiskey jam left over after Thanksgiving or Christmas?
We’ve got a grilled cheese that will keep you in the holiday spirit! Grab your favorite bread, Cranberry Whiskey jam, brie, and prosciutto and lets get grilling!
Preheat a cast iron skillet on medium.
Butter the outside pieces of sourdough bread.
To build sandwich spread jam on one slice and top with brie and prosciutto. Close sandwich up.
Place bread butter side down onto cast iron skillet and cover. Cover and cook about 5-8 minutes on each side, butter side down, checking often. Remember to re-cover in between checks! That helps the cheese to melt.
The evenings are starting to cool down and remind us of sweet sweet fall weather. So we had to make a cocktail that would warm you up and fit the season! We combined our season jam Spiced Apple, apple cider, and bourbon to make this cozy cocktail perfect for Thanksgiving or any holiday party!
1. Shake bourbon, Spiced Apple jam, and apple cider with ice in a mason jar with a lid.
2. Add ice to you cup, pour in cocktail, and top with sparkling water.
3. Garnish your drink with apple and a cinnamon stick. Enjoy!
You loved our Everything Bagel Goat Cheese Balls, so we just had to give you a holiday version just in time for Thanksgiving! And dare we say we might even like these more?! We mixed goat cheese and our Cranberry Whiskey Jam, rolled them into golfball sized balls and rolled them in almonds, cranberries, and mint. Easy and decadent!
Read below for the full recipe!
1. Allow goat cheese to soften on counter. In a bowl, mix half a jar of Cranberry Whiskey Jam into the goat cheese. Stir until completely mixed.
2. Refrigerate mixture for 15 minutes or until the cheese is firm enough to mold the cheese balls.
4. Place goat cheese balls on the platter you plan to serve on, and refrigerate until ready to serve! Enjoy!
What are your favorite go-to appetizers? We’d love to hear. And as always, if you've had a chance to use our preserves in a dish or want to share a canning recipe with us use hashtag #theurbancanningco and find us on Instagram @theurbancanningco.

Nutopia Plus Liquid Vitamin Supplement is a Powerful Antioxidant Blend of Super Fruits,Vegetables,Vitamins and Minerals Containing Over 10,000 ORAC Per Serving!
Nutopia makes it easy for anyone to get extra fruits and vegetables along with massive amounts of powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals into their diet. Nutopia Plus contains over 120 nutrients in a highly bio-available liquid vitamin supplement!
So why do we need antioxidants? Antioxidants are required to prevent and heal the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable atoms with unpaired electrons. In order to stabilize themselves, free radicals rob electrons from healthy cells causing the damage that leads to chronic and degenerative diseases. Powerful antioxidants from super fruits and vegetables are needed to neutralize these free radicals. Free radicals are all around you! Air and water pollution, pesticides, plastics and electronic components all contain these destructive free radicals. | 2019-04-21T10:11:54 | https://www.l-argininehearthealth.com/Nutopia.php |
Ealing Abbey Church is a beautiful and functional home for the people and liturgy of the local Catholic community in Ealing.
We are working hard to make the church more beautiful as we work to finish the Abbey buildings. Decent replacements for the carpeting around the principal altar and the tabernacle have been completed (March 2014). The next project is to replace the old sound system. Later, some corbelling (stonework finishing) in the Blessed Sacrament chapel is another of our immediate plans. We have ideas in the community for making the church even more worthy of the worship of God.
With your help we want to look forward together to the consecration of the church building in the next few years.

As I worked through my Biology class it made me look at life differently. It made me think about how my life has been touched by things like heart disease, diabetes, cell regeneration, nutrition and genetics. Let me start with my grandmother whom I never had a chance to know because she passed away before I was born. My father’s mother past away from cancer 28 years ago, because of advancements in research the survival rate has increased greatly. Work being done by scientist who are developing better medications, using cell research to better understand causes give us hope that someday cancer will be wiped out. Research around how nutrition can help keep us healthier is also very encouraging.
As I continued to reflect on the impact of what I was learning in Biology, and the impact it has on my life, I started thinking about my grandfathers. I was very lucky to have both of my grandfathers in my life for a long period of time. Unfortunately they both are no longer with us. They had a lot in common, they both loved baseball and loved to fish and be around the water. Unfortunately they also had heart disease in common as well, and it eventually took their life. A story I would like to share happened just a few months ago. I play college baseball and I am a pitcher. On a Sunday in April I was on the mound pitching against one of the better teams in our division. It was one of those days where everything was working for me. I pitched the best game of my career, after the game my father told me the bad news, my grandfather past away. I truly believe that my grandfather was with me on the mound that day as my other grandfather cheered me on. It was a day I will keep with me forever.
I will take the things I learned about how to lower the risk of heart disease through exercise, diet and living a healthier life style and use those to lower my risk of heart disease. Also with a better understanding on genetics I will make sure I also see a doctor regularly as well as encourage my parents to do the same.
As I continued my journey down memory lane my attention turned to our family pet Zoie. Zoie was with us for 11 years before developing cancer as well as diabetes and passing away last fall. The diabetes was brought on from being overweight, she also lost her eye sight. Now that I have a better understanding how diet and exercise not only affects humans but our pets as well. I will make sure our new puppy Rocky gets plenty of exercise and eats healthy.
The final piece of the story revolves around what happened to me 3 years ago. After my high school baseball team won back to back state championships I fell and shattered my knee cap in 5 places. Needless to say I was devastated. I thought my future with playing college baseball was over before it got started. Thankfully I was wrong. Because of the miraculous way our body heals itself, including cell generation and healing agents (let's not forget the great technology and the doctors who use it) I was able to get back on the field in 8 months and the rest is history. In closing, I now look at life through a different Lenz and have a much better understanding of how things work and why...and will ask more questions.
Now Off to my next adventure!! | 2019-04-22T22:31:38 | http://www.biologystories.com/story156.html |

Beautiful wedding pictures and post...thanks for sharing such a special part of your life...congratulations on 38 years!
Debra, this is such a lovely tribute to everlasting love! Congratulations on 37++ years together! Great pictures of your wedding and I love the way you placed each of your beautiful daughters' trips down the aisle beside yours! You should have that enlarged and framed like that!
Thanks so much for joining in the WEDDING BLOG PARTY! I'm sure I'll be back again and again to enlarge the pics ~ I so love weddings!
Lovely post! Your wedding pics remind me of my own...I was married just a month before you!
Beautiful, love the pictures with your daughters too.
You guys both still look grrrrrrrrrrrreat! All of you girls made simply beautiful brides.
How beautiful! I love that you have been married for 38 years. We have been married 33 years ourselves. Your daughters weddings are lovely!
Hi Debra, So nice to meet you. What a gorgeous bride you are and also your two beautiful daughters. Congrats on nearing 38 wonderful years together. Your love is all inspiring.
I so enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog.
Have a blessed day and fun at all the parties.
A few years ago I scanned our old (non-professional) wedding photos and made a new album. It was fun to re-live the moments.
In our daughters wedding album I included a page with their parents and grandparents wedding photos. Such beautiful days in all their lives!
How delightful to see your wedding day and the day of your daughters.
So beautiful bride and lovely photos, congrats for the 38 years!
Aaaawww, how sweet you looked, sugar! We're in our 49th year and it just keeps getting brighter and brighter for us.
Such a great post and thanks for the trip in the time machine. I cannot get enough of gandering through people's wedding pictures.
I just love reading about couples who have been together so long. And I do remember your red plaid wedding post. What were we thinking back in the 70's. Each decade I always wonder if we will look back & think "What was I thinking?". And so far, it pretty much ends up that way. I am so enjoying getting to know everyone a little bit better.
Beautiful pictures. I's always wonderful to hear about other couples who have made the decision to make their marriage last a lifetime.
Darling, sweet and life affirming post. The last set of pictures was a wow collage.
Oh, Debra, you & your daughters are breathtaking brides ... what lovely memories for all of you.
OH my sweetness I took a trip with you and the red plaid and it is darling...especially if it made your dreams come true. Your picture with your daughters is beautiful. Congratulations and it is true that God has to be in the center of this all to make it work.
Ok, I just saw a picture on your blog from Spring Creek Antiques and you are from sw mo. I am in Branson, my booths are at Cadwells and Main Street Flea market in downtown Branson. Are you from Ozark???
How funny is this, small world.
Love your wedding post. Beautiful cake and beautiful bride. Thanks for sharing. | 2019-04-23T13:53:31 | https://www.commonground-do.com/2010/06/storybook-wedding.html |
The Wold Press Photo exhibition is like every year both impressive and depressing. It’s really incredible what destruction we impose on our world. The hurt and harm we do not only to our own kind, but also to the animal race and the world in general.
In between the many photos showing a destructive nature there are luckily also series that offer a more hopeful future and several beautiful photos of animals. Nope all hope is lost.
The documentation of all this offer some impressive photos by talented photographers. The exhibition is on until December 2nd in the synagog in Groningen. | 2019-04-23T12:37:45 | http://www.kjguch.com/2018/11/17/world-press-photo-2018/ |

Channel your inner hate and turn it into something productive with this lesson on "Mouth For War" from the metal band Pantera. This song is from the record Vulgar Display of Power, which was released over 21 years ago in 1992.
Great song and good lesson. The funny thing is that I think the way Dennis played the second riff (slide riff from G5 to B5) prior to the lesson (as he mentions in the lesson) was the correct way. I´m pretty sure because I got the isolated original guitar tracks from another site. But maybe my ears play tricks on me. Other than that great job as always. What`s really cool is that Dennis often presents different options to play certain parts of a song.
I can create a screen cap video and throw it up on our YouTube channel if there is enough interest.
That was a highly requested topic on our latest survey. Getting great tone has always been a challenge on a budget. So we are actively trying to get a reputable studio engineer to do lessons on tone. For these Pantera guitar lessons, the rhythms were created with the following steps: 1. Rhythm was recorded with 2 DI tracks. 2. Pre-distortion EQ applied to get rid of muddiness. 3. Distortion was added with Guitar Rig 4. 4. EQ distortion. 5. Secret weapon impulse responses were used for cabinet sound. There are lots of little tricks in there but that is the basic process.
not many will read these comments probably but i know i would love a general step by step on tone & recording tips & tricks . i don't know if most students record but from the conversations in the chat room it seams they do. its also a subject that websites don't get into with great detail .
great job as usual Dennis u r a genius replicating bands songs . i wish they would do lessons on how you and Allen get the sounds you do recording, EQ amps & distortion etc etc .
Excellent as usual. Thank you for posting so many Pantera tunes. I have an entire weekend to mess with these songs. You're the man! Again, much appreciated. | 2019-04-19T16:41:39 | https://www.jamplay.com/guitar-lessons/songs/artist/13-pantera/3984-35-mouth-for-war |

I'm Ari, and I'm the heart and soul behind Amen Photography. My goal is to help you capture life's sweetest moments so that you can cherish them forever! Here are a few things about me, from an interview I did with my friend Sarah Carleton of "Gather & Savor".
When and why did you start your creative venture?
Ari: I’ve been a shutterbug since I was in high school, but I became a professional photographer 10 years ago, when I realized that I needed a creative outlet that also allowed me to travel the world and meet people from different walks of life.
Ari: I find inspiration in people and their life stories. I find that, if we just stop and get to know each other beyond the superficial "hello" gesture of niceness, we will discover that each person we encounter has their own unique contribution to our growth as human beings-- spiritually, emotionally, mentally and creatively-- and we do the same for them. I find beauty in people's narratives of how and why they got to be where they are and what led them to cross my path.
If you were a dessert what would you be and why?
Ari: The perfect day is sunshine with blue skies. My boys enveloping me in giant hugs and kisses and eating all the desserts I want without gaining an ounce of weight. Also, the perfect day would be not reading about one more horrible thing that happened to anyone anywhere in this world, sigh.
Ari: I love that I get to bring people joy by giving them something they'll remember moments of their lives by. I love that people will have the photos I take of them and their loved ones, even long after people have lived and are gone.
Ari: I went to school to become a doctor, but gave that up because I didn't want to miss out on my kids while they're growing up. I am an unapologetic foodie who loves to cook, eat, and collect cookbooks. I love creating other art besides photography and once made a Christmas tree out of several hundred candy canes, that is still the most blogged about candy cane Christmas tree on the internet. My recent/ongoing projects include creative self-portraits with various world landmarks, as well as dressing kids up and photographing them as characters in beloved storybooks. My husband, four sons, and I are 5th generation owners of a farm in Chattaroy we now call "Four Brothers Farm," where we raise poultry and grow produce. We sell our eggs and fruits/veggies to our neighbors, friends, and at farmers' markets throughout the year. | 2019-04-25T18:46:03 | https://www.amenphotography.com/about |

Saving Abel will be making a noticeable change in their lineup as the band enters 2014. Frontman Jared Weeks has announced that he's leaving the group to start a solo career, while his bandmates have moved quickly to find his replacement.
According to Weeks, this was not "a spur of the moment" decision and was something he spoke openly about with the band for quite some time as they attempted to make their transition. The group will move forward with Trash the Brand frontman Scott Austin assuming lead vocal duties. As for Weeks, he's moving to Nashville where he'll start recording his new solo disc shortly.
A lil over 10 years ago Jason Null and myself (Jared Weeks) started the band Saving Abel, and little did I know how much our lives would change for the better. It's been so amazing over the past decade, to meet so many fans, tour with so many of my favorite and amazing bands, and travel all over the world, to places I couldn't never imagine myself going. It really has been one hell of a ride for me. I've had such a great time experiencing all that we have accomplished with my brothers in SA: Scotty B. Eric T., Mikey M. & Jason N. these fellas have been a family to me on the road and part of my family at home, but most importantly all our FANS that have been there and supported us through thick and thin, through the good and bad. You guys have always held my head up and have always picked me up when I was down. I personally could never thank you enough for who you are and what you do for Saving Abel, "Hell" what you do for Rock 'n Roll. With all that being said, and now that I'm writing this down for all to see, it seems a little harder for me to do, but sometimes you have to follow your heart even if you don't know where it's gonna take you. So as of today, I am following my heart and am NOT continuing on as the lead singer of Saving Abel. This wasn't a "spur of the moment" decision, I have fought & thought about this with myself for sometime now. I have also spoken with the rest of the guys in SA and even helped get everything together for SA to keep doing what they always do, and that is... write Rock N Roll songs, keep Rockin and keep touring with the best live shows. Scott Austin will be replacing me as the New lead singer, he is the front man from a band called Trash the Brand, and he is very capable of the job. I have personally seen his live shows and know he will keep the SA train rolling successfully. As for me, I'm currently moving to Nashville TN to record a solo album with producer Skidd Mills. This was and is an amicable decision between both me and the Saving Abel fellas. As I said earlier those boys are part of my family and always will be, I do wish them all the best success and support them in their careers, as they do me. I apologize to any and all fans who might feel "let down" or upset with my decision, but like I said before, sometimes you have to follow your heart, even if you don't know where it's gonna take you. I hope to have your support in the next couple of months while recording and I sure as hell hope to see you at the shows when I'm finished with the new album and back out touring. May God bless SavingAbel & may God bless you all.
Earlier this fall, Weeks stepped in for Hinder while their frontman Austin Winkler entered rehab. While Hinder and Winkler made their split permanent recently, it was not mentioned whether or not Weeks could potentially continue with Hinder. | 2019-04-24T00:03:42 | https://katsfm.com/saving-abel-jared-weeks-exits-band/ |

A 46-year-old hypertensive woman with a long history of atypical chest pain was admitted to our institution because of a very intense episode associated to transient ST-segment elevation on standard electrocardiogram. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries, and ergonovine provocation test was performed. During the test, a severe spiral dissection of the right coronary artery occurred. Iatrogenic coronary dissection is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of diagnostic coronary catheterization. In such cases, stenting the true lumen is crucial to scaffold the vessel and restore its patency. However, identification of the true lumen by angiography only may be misleading. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is extremely helpful to assess wire position and ensure true lumen identification. Figure 1 shows the intravascular ultrasound probe within the false lumen, which had been wired at first (A), and subsequently within the true lumen (B). The images are reminiscent of the Taijitu symbol. Like in Yin and Yang, interconnected opposing duality is present in these intravascular ultrasound images, with both lumen giving rise to each other, although one is the path to life and the other a trail to death.
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) shows wiring of the false lumen at first (A), and then confirms successful rewiring of the true lumen (B). | 2019-04-20T22:31:48 | http://interventions.onlinejacc.org/content/3/7/783 |
Tax cuts are good for job growth, that's a fact.
Actually, it's an opinion. Even *I* admit that my beliefs in what is good for the economy are an opinion, because even economists can't agree. These are the kind of statements I find so crazy. Near fanatical belief in facts that just aren't facts.
In one moment you argue that things are going to be so close in this election that to say otherwise is outlandish, in the next you argue that non-liberals/democrats dramatically out number liberals/democrats.
These things are not contradictory. Or didn't you notice the part where he stated that just because someone votes for a Democrat doesn't make that person a Democrat. I fall into that category myself.
I'm not quite clear why this is seen as disputed.
I'm not a Democrat, and I'm for Kerry/Edwards.
I believe just the opposite. There are far more liberals than conservatives in the country. Unless you can show proof of any kind that you are right and I am wrong, then, we simply agree to disagree.
Edit: My proof, by the way, would be the very liberal press you complain about. If there is one thing the press, and business in general, is good at, it's playing to their audience.
Edited by Hambil, 25 August 2004 - 01:11 PM.
I think there have been surveys done. But then, what is a "liberal"? I usually avoid labelling anyone as "liberal" or "conservative" because I don't think people are so easily categorized. But I don't deny anyone the right to categorize themselves.
My point? Some people are not interested in debate. I don't know what they are interested in. Causing disruption maybe?
From my perspective, -you- have become the biggest disruption in OT.
In the last couple of days I've considered giving up on OT because of your negative "antics".
Provide examples. I'm open for discussion. I can point to at least three non-partisan threads I've started in the last day alone. And I'll bet that 90% or more of any inflamitory posts you can point to, are directly in response to an inflamitory post from someone else.
How about if I just rely on you to reflect on how you've conducted yourself in threads? Reread the posts if necessary.
I have no qualms over someone thowing passion into their writing.
As for "aggressive".......it's a little too close to someone just giving themselves permission to be rude. Where does aggressive end and fanaticism begin?
So 90% of the time when you're rude and snippy (read aggressive), it's because you were forced into it so no one would think they could beat-up on you?
I believe there are more moderate/centerists in the country than liberals or conservatives.
I appreciate that you percieve me that way. However, since you either can't, or won't provide objective evidence, I will take it as an opinion to be weighed and considered with everyone elses. Thank you for speaking up.
Yes. But, to say that I am the only one that does it, is silly. I fact, it seems three to one in favor of the right at the moment, with the majority of the posts like you site coming from me (left) or Drew, Delvo and Ogami (right).
As for Bush Hatred being a problem, I am sure it is. As to it being THE problem, that's more of a stretch.
It's also worth mentioning that Clinton Hatred was just as bad. I had that pounded into me for eight years. Have we forgotten the clever nickname 'Slick Willy' already?
Chuckle. Here I thought it was the job of any sitting president to be 'hated' by the folks whose president lost the election.
I was viewing it as even, I certainly don't believe you're by yourself.
Edited by Mr.Calgary, 25 August 2004 - 05:10 PM.
Folks... What's the point of this thread? To discuss each other? That really isn't what this forum is about.
Can't we get back to the issues? Any issues of substance would be nice.
Geez, Kevin . . . just when we seem to be coming to an understanding about each other, you come in and shut us down.

Women are complex creatures, believe it, come to peace with it and engulf it in, mannn.
[ hey, so are you ]. The thing that women are most attracted to is what a man thinks. See this is how it goes. We are attracted to the beauty of their physical features. While they’re attracted to the beauty of our mind. You need right mindset to attract women.
In short if you want to be amazing at dating women then you need to have the right mindset.
It all begins from there and it all comes down to that.
Now let’s dig deep into three mindsets and which ones are attractive and repulsive.
Your beliefs dictate your behaviour. So, having a strong and healthy one is very important.
Actually, your mental foundation is going to be the basic stone in your life foundation.
All your actions and its reactions will be in your favor if you have a healthy mindset, that is the giver mindset.
I know there are a lot of uncertainties in life,[ except death and taxes almost everything is uncertain ]. Old friends, new enemies, you never know. That’s why having a healthy mindset will immune you to all these petty issues.
The giver mindset is what i preach because it means abundance. You have so much that no matter how much you give you’ll never run out of it.
Now, Let me know what would a woman want? A man of abundance or a man of scarcity, who’s afraid, timid, shy and afraid of giving because he thinks others will get better than him, if he gives.
And if you don’t believe in my words, then you look at some of the most attractive people on this planet, they’re the most attractive not because they’re hiding stuff, or showing any scarcity signs.
They’re attractive because they’re givers. They’re like the sun. Their light shines the brightest and others [ less attractive people ] just live under the shadows created by those lights.
If you know it, go show it, don’t be afraid, you’ll never run out of things. Cause you’re a man of abundance.
You give more and you shall receive more.
Attraction is one of the most primal instincts. It is triggered in our bodies in much the same way as other primal emotions, such as hunger, fatigue, and fear. It is almost habitual and in-built inside us. We can’t do anything about it.
Heck, attraction is an emotion. And it can’t be controlled. It’s triggered. It happens from the inside. Now, when it comes to attractiveness in men, it’s about how needy he is.
If you’re a needy man then you’re unattractive and if you’re not needy, patient and living your life to the fullest [ not in your mind, but in reality ] then you’re attractive.
need to have a life, and if you don’t have one ,then get one. By that i mean, find like minded people and hang around. Don’t lie, don’t cheat. Don’t be incongruent.
If your actions don’t match your words, that’s incongruency, which is needy. And that’s the ultimate attraction killer. Be a man of words. Women love that.
A non needy man doesn’t lie, doesn’t cheat and is absolutely satisfied and happy in his own skin. His actions and words are as sharp as a sword. If he says it then people will believe it.
And this increases his perception of himself and radiates positive energy out of his body, which attracts all the women towards him.
Your neediness or the lack of it, just exudes from you in whatever you do. It defines and resonates in everything you say and do, the way you stand, the way you smile, the jokes you tell, the people you associate with, the car you drive, the wine you drink, the jacket you wear.
The girls that get attracted to you, their quality and thought process, everything.
A man’s comfort and acceptance in who he is and how things work, and what he can do for the things to work in an even better and efficient way is attractive and exudes an un-ignorable energy from him.
I’m currently running a 3-part FREE video series. Where you’re going to get lots of value and lessons on how to approach girls the best way to get a girlfriend in the next 24 hours or less.
An attractive man is a born investor. He invests in people, things and tries to make them better each day, everyday. That’s his greatest quality and most attractive one. It’s his confidence in himself because of which he invests so much.
It shows no jealousy, no hatred nor any stress about other’s goodwill. Now, tell me how could a woman not want a man like this?
In the above lines i wrote an attractive man is a born investor. Now, an over-investor is not the same as an investor. An over-investor is somebody who never believes in himself and always think there’s a lack of something inside him, and he keeps investing out of fear, of getting lost in this wild wide world.
These people don’t enjoy life as they’re over invested with being jealous and scarce. They have a negative aura around them and women repel from them.
Overtime they don’t make much friend and some who are their friends, they also get repelled because of their attitudes and behaviors.
In this article i discussed a lot about being non – needy, giving as giving makes you shine like the sun. But a word of CAUTION – Stay away from people who take too much.
As they’re like vultures, they’ll only scourge you and take things away from you, as they’re programmed to only take, and not give.
These are the jealous ones, the low-life ingrates who doesn’t believe in trust, honesty, friendship and are only using you to get to some purpose.
Most of these people are those gold diggers, who’ll move on from you as soon as they’ve taken enough and move to the man who can give her more. So, stay away from people like these.
Choose to have a carefree, giving nurturing and a cool mindset where you know that you have a lot in life and if if you give some, you’re only going to get some.
Comment below and let me know, on having a giver mindset, how much capacity do you have inside you to give and have you met a vulture in human form or not?
Since you know the right mindset to attract women, I want to take you one step further. I recommend you my 69 brutal things that attracts women.

One of the most popular hats in our shop is the “Telpak” from Turkmenistan. We try to keep them in stock, although they are very difficult to procure.
It is a huge hat which resembles an enormous ball of sheep’s wool or even a wig. The Turkmen say it is a “vacuum flask for the head” which protects from overheating in the summer and serves as insulation from cold in the winter.
This is hard to believe, as Turkmenistan has a desert climate, and it reaches 140 degrees Farenheit in the summer.
The picture above was on the front page of the Seattle Times–of people having fun trying on telpaks in our store. | 2019-04-21T00:39:43 | http://www.musicfortheeyes.com/products/jewelry/hats/turkmen-telpak-hats/ |

The Internet of Things (IoT) has continued to grow at a rapid rate in recent years. With the connectivity of cellular devices, computers, vehicles, buildings, sensors, and more electronics, it’s more important than ever that these devices are able to connect, communicate and meet the needs that users covet. The wireless connectivity for the IoT will use many network access technologies, including Global System for Mobile (GSM), cellular Long Term Evolution (LTE), 4G and the much anticipated revolutionary 5G to name a few. There are plenty of other wireless protocols and air interfaces available for supporting IoT applications (WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRa, ZigBee, and Z-Wave, to name a few), but it’s clear the landscape is changing and IoT devices will take advantage of the protocals offering the greatest data throughput.
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) provide strong and reliable wireless connectivity in location where connectivity is a problem with standard wireless routers or cellular connectivity, such as: inside multistory buildings, outside industrial settings, and subterranean environments. DAS, thus, in conjunction with (LTE/4G/5G) based IoT services, will continue to grow in coming years. | 2019-04-21T16:34:59 | https://www.everythingrf.com/whitepapers/details/3286-distributed-antenna-system-das-for-iot-cellular-and-other-wireless-applications |
There was a small earthquake in the San Francisco Bay area today, with an epicenter in San Pablo Bay northwest of Richmond and San Pablo, CA. This earthquake is cool, at least in part, because of its location.
There are several fault systems that bisect the SF Bay area, which are all part of the San Andreas fault system, the right-lateral strike-slip plate boundary between the North America and Pacific plates. A large proportion of the relative motion along this plate boundary is localized on the San Andreas fault proper. The faults in the SF Bay area are thought to accommodate 85% of the plate boundary relative motion. The rest of this boundary relative motion can be observed along the east side of the Sierra Nevada, with smaller proportions extending through central Nevada and as far east as the Wasatch fault system in Utah.
The San Andreas and sister faults initiated this right-lateral relative motion at the plate boundary approximately 29 million years ago, in a location near where Los Angeles currently is. Over time, various subparallel strike-slip faults have formed. The main strands in the SF Bay area are the San Gregorio, San Andreas, Hayward – Rogers Creek, Maacama, Calaveras – Paicines, and Hunting Creek – Berryessa – Green Valley – Concord – Greenville fault systems. Geologists have been debating about how the Hayward and Rogers Creek faults interact.
The cool part about the location of this earthquake is that it happened in a place that holds great interest to those in the seismic hazard community. In the SF Bay area, the Hayward – Rogers Creek fault system is the fault that has the highest probability of having an earthquake with a magnitude of M 6.7. There is a 33% chance that there will be a M ≥ 6.7 earthquake between 2014 and 2043.
Some have proposed that there is a step over, where these two faults overlap and there is some proportion of extension in this transfer zone. This hypothesis includes the idea that ruptures here may cause subsidence between the fault strands, causing a local tsunami in the area.
Others hypothesize that these faults are more directly linked. USGS geologists like Janet Watt have been conducting seismic reflection and sediment coring studies to evaluate this likelihood. Here is a review of their work in San Pablo Bay.
From the USGS: Why does it matter?
The longer the stretch of fault that breaks during an earthquake, the stronger the quake. When two faults are close to one another, the earthquake can jump from one to the other, making the rupture longer and the shaking stronger. When two faults are directly connected, it’s even easier for earthquake rupture to continue from one fault to the next.
A break along the combined length of the Hayward and Rodgers Creek faults could produce a major earthquake of magnitude 7.4. That earthquake would release more than five times the energy released by the 1989 magnitude 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake, which caused about $6 billion in damage and killed 63 people.
To estimate the earthquake hazard posed by the Hayward and Rodgers Creek faults, scientists need to understand whether and how the faults connect. Previous work showed that the two faults approach each other closely beneath San Pablo Bay, but their exact relationship remained a mystery.
The USGS researchers found that the Hayward fault appears to connect directly to the Rodgers Creek fault.
As the data accumulated, however, the researchers saw that the Hayward fault strand they were mapping bends slightly to the right as it traverses San Pablo Bay, heading toward the Rodgers Creek fault.
They realized that they might be looking at a fault bend. The distinction is important because fault bends affect earthquake hazards differently than stepovers. These differences include how likely a break on one fault will continue on to the next, how much slip (movement of rock on either side of the fault) will occur, and where ground shaking will be strongest.
Another cool thing about today’s earthquake is that this year marks the anniversary of the last major earthquake on the Hayward fault in 1868. The USGS, CGS, and other organizations and agencies are rolling out Haywired, an earthquake scenario designed to help people to learn to become more prepared and more resilient to earthquake hazards in the SF Bay area. More can be found out about Haywired here. There is more layperson speak material on the Hayward fault here.
I plot the seismicity from the past month, with color representing depth and diameter representing magnitude (see legend). I also include earthquake epicenters from 1918-2018 with magnitudes M ≥ 3.0 in one version of the poster.
I plot the USGS fault plane solutions (moment tensors in blue and focal mechanisms in orange), possibly in addition to some relevant historic earthquakes. Most earthquakes are strike-slip and aligned with the orientation of the plate boundary fault system. Some are normal (extensional) earthquakes which are probably places where faults are bending or stepping over. The 1989 event is the compressional Loma Prieta Earthquake. There is a good example of the earthquake types in the Geysers area (2016.12.14 M 5.0). These earthquakes often share this type of moment tensor, showing a poorly fit double couple (note how the corners of the beach ball are rounded, not sharp like the 1989 Loma Prieta focal mechanism. Most tectonic earthquakes are slip along a fault, which would ideally produce a double couple mechanism. When other types of seismic events occur (like volcanic explosions, nuclear test explosions, steam explosions, etc.) they have mechanisms that are not double couples.
I include the Did You Feel It?” felt reports data as a transparent overlay. The colors are based upon reports that people submit when they feel an earthquake. This is shown for a comparison between the modeled data (the MMI contours) and the DYFI data.
On the right, I include generalized fault map of northern California from Wallace (1990). I place a blue star in the general location of today’s M 4.4 earthquake.
In the upper left corner is a map that shows the potential for shaking from earthquakes in central California, the San Francisco Bay area. This was published in 2003.
In the lower left corner is a figure from Watt et al. (2016). In the upper right is a map showing the blue San Pablo Bay. These authors collected subsurface data (seismic reflection, CHIRP) along lines shown in gray. In the main part of the map is a magnetic anomaly map, which shows how the magnetic field can be used to interrogate the structures and material types within the earth. This figure shows that the Hayward fault location can be inferred by the magnetic anomaly data. The gray bands labeled A, B, C, and D show the location of the seismic profiles shown on this poster.
To the right of the magnetic anomaly map is a series of 4 seismic profiles. The color changes (white to black) represent locations in the subsurface that have changes in material properties. These are most likely layers of sediment. Where layers are flat, the sediment may still be in place where it was deposited. Where the layers are folded, this may be evidence for tectonic deformation. Where these layers terminate along a line, this may show that there is an earthquake fault along that line. Note the observations you can make along the proposed location of the northern Hayward fault. I include this figure below so one may zoom in further.
Here is the interpretive poster with seismicity from the past month.
Here is the interpretive poster with seismicity from 1918-2018 for earthquakes M ≥ 3.0.
Here is a fault map from Parsons et al., 2003. Note the configuration of the Hayward relative to the Rodgers Creek fault. These authors use seismic reflection and seismic tomography to interpret the subsurface in San Pablo Bay. The seismic profile below is located where the red line is shown on this map.
Fault map of San Pablo Bay based on the cross sections of Wright and Smith (1992) (cross section locations shown with black lines) and our new section in south San Pablo Bay (cross-section location shown with red line). We carry the Pinole fault offshore at least as far north as our cross section, and we connect the Rodgers Creek fault as far south as our section.
Here is the seismic profile (Parsons et al., 2003). Color represents material properties (seismic velocity). The black and white layers represent geologic materials with varying material properties (where there are layers of alternating material properties). These authors interpret faulting along this profile.
A structural cross section (upper 2 km) across south San Pablo Bay and the Hayward–Rodgers Creek step-over (see Fig. 1 for location). Seismic reflection data are overlain on a tomographic seismic velocity section. A significant lateral contrast is observed about 1 km east of the presently active trace of the Hayward fault and may represent an older fault trace. Another fault ~4 km east of the active Hayward fault separates east-dipping from west-dipping bedding within a basin; this structure is located on the Rodgers Creek fault trend projected from two structural sections in central and north San Pablo Bay developed by Wright and Smith (1992). Sparse relocated earthquake hypocenters (Waldhauser and Ellsworth, 2002) are shown in the lower panels with and without the Wright and Smith (1992) interpretation.
Here is their gravity map. Compare these results with the map from Watts et al. (2016; below and on the interpretive poster).
Gravity map of the San Pablo Bay region. An upward continued (500 m) signal was subtracted from the data, which filters out the broader wavelength features and allows us to focus on the shallowest part of the crust. A simplified fault map is shown by the black lines, and gravity gradients are identified by the white dots. A broad gravity low characterizes San Pablo Bay, and a subtly lower anomaly appears to coincide with the region between the Hayward and Rodgers Creek faults. This low is truncated near the north edge of San Pablo Bay by a strong gravity gradient that might be a normal fault boundary of a pull-apart basin.
This is the figure from Watts et al. (2016). I include their figure caption below.

Plus signs show locations of the offshore Hayward fault along chirp seismic profiles. Thick red lines show Late Pleistocene and younger traces of Hayward and Rodgers Creek faults (23).

Chirp seismic profiles along the offshore Hayward fault. (A) to (D) are discussed in the text. Note vertical exaggeration of ~195:1. NW, northwest; SE, southeast.
Here is the isostatic gravity map from Watt et al. (2016). Gravity measurements have been modeled to account for the geometry of the earth (e.g. thickness of the crust or sections of the crust, sediment bodies, etc.), topography, etc. The result of this modeling can let us learn about structures like faults. I include their figure caption below.

Thick dashed white line shows the location of the horizontal gravity gradient maxima relative to the location of the Hayward fault (black plus signs). Orange star shows the location of a steep tomographic gradient along a seismic velocity profile (dotted black line) (6).
I place a map shows the configuration of faults in central (San Francisco) and northern (Point Delgada – Punta Gorda) CA (Wallace, 1990). Here is the caption for this map, that is on the lower left corner of my map. Below the citation is this map presented on its own.
Geologic sketch map of the northern Coast Ranges, central California, showing faults with Quaternary activity and basin deposits in northern section of the San Andreas fault system. Fault patterns are generalized, and only major faults are shown. Several Quaternary basins are fault bounded and aligned parallel to strike-slip faults, a relation most apparent along the Hayward-Rodgers Creek-Maacama fault trend.
Here is the figure showing the evolution of the SAF since its inception about 29 Ma. I include the USGS figure caption below as a blockquote.

Here is an animation from Tanya Atwater that shows how the Pacific-North America plate margin evolved over the past 40 million years (Ma).
Here is a map from McLaughlin et al. (2012) that shows the regional faulting. I include the figure caption as a blockquote below.
Maps showing the regional setting of the Rodgers Creek–Maacama fault system and the San Andreas fault in northern California. (A) The Maacama (MAFZ) and Rodgers Creek (RCFZ) fault zones and related faults (dark red) are compared to the San Andreas fault, former and present positions of the Mendocino Fracture Zone (MFZ; light red, offshore), and other structural features of northern California. Other faults east of the San Andreas fault that are part of the wide transform margin are collectively referred to as the East Bay fault system and include the Hayward and proto-Hayward fault zones (green) and the Calaveras (CF), Bartlett Springs, and several other faults (teal). Fold axes (dark blue) delineate features associated with compression along the northern and eastern sides of the Coast Ranges. Dashed brown line marks inferred location of the buried tip of an east-directed tectonic wedge system along the boundary between the Coast Ranges and Great Valley (Wentworth et al., 1984; Wentworth and Zoback, 1990). Dotted purple line shows the underthrust south edge of the Gorda–Juan de Fuca plate, based on gravity and aeromagnetic data (Jachens and Griscom, 1983). Late Cenozoic volcanic rocks are shown in pink; structural basins associated with strike-slip faulting and Sacramento Valley are shown in yellow.

Here is a map that shows the shaking potential for earthquakes in CA. This comes from the state of California here.
Earthquake shaking hazards are calculated by projecting earthquake rates based on earthquake history and fault slip rates, the same data used for calculating earthquake probabilities. New fault parameters have been developed for these calculations and are included in the report of the Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities. Calculations of earthquake shaking hazard for California are part of a cooperative project between USGS and CGS, and are part of the National Seismic Hazard Maps. CGS Map Sheet 48 (revised 2008) shows potential seismic shaking based on National Seismic Hazard Map calculations plus amplification of seismic shaking due to the near surface soils.
Here is the earthquake probability map for the SF Bay area (Aagard et al., 2016).
This shows a timeline for historic earthquakes in this region (Aagaard et al., 2016).
Here is a map from the CGS that shows some of the detailed fault mapping done in this region. One can view this map on the CGS website here.
There is much more about the Haywired scenario here.
However I include here a couple graphics to help us key into this knowledge of the past so we can prepare for the future.
Here is an estimate (from ground motion modeling) of the amount of shaking that might happen when the Hayward fault ruptures next (USGS, 2018). Remember that the Hayward fault is the fault in the SF Bay area that has the highest chance of going off in the next few decades. Red = severe shaking, green = moderate shaking.
Here is a map that shows what aftershocks and triggered earthquakes may happen as part of the result of the Hayward fault rupturing (USGS, 2018).

You are here: Home / Up! Up! Up! / 04 - Off the bike, into the Gym / Strong enough?
There's a lot of contention about just how strong you need to be to be a successful track sprinter. Numbers are thrown around by various institutes, talking about twice bodyweight for squats (presumably meaning power-lifting legal with the thighs slightly below parallel and not assisted by wraps, squat suits or similar) as an example.
Here's our take on it.
You can't be too strong, which is to say, you can't be strong enough, but you can do too much strength training. What does this mean?
If it's taking too much time to recover from a gym strength session, which it will once you start pushing seriously heavy weights, such that it has a negative impact on your on the bike training, you're doing too much strength training in the gym. You're probably as strong as you can be without starting to specialize in strength sports like olympic weightlifting, powerlifting or strongman competitions etc. For many of us, this happens at around two to two and a half times bodyweight for squats, or anything up to about a 250kg squat 1RM for men, for women, around 150kg. The same sorts of numbers for deadlifts and for lifts like power cleans and so on it's a lot less prescriptive, but at least bodyweight for power cleans for men and around 75% of bodyweight for women is not a bad place to end up.
Zatsiorsky and Kraemer, in Science and Practice of Strength Training, 2nd ed, talk about the notion of time available for force development, and use the term Explosive Strength Deficit (ESD). This is essentially referring to how much force you can apply in a very short period of time. For example, they state that a shot put athlete who can benchpress around 220kg (~110kg/arm), can only apply around 60kg of force to their throw because it happens too quickly for them to use all their available strength, and that increasing bench press past a threshold doesn't significantly increase the force able to be applied. This is a different beast to our track sprint cycling though. We have the luxury of being able to control, to an extent, the time we have available to apply force. A shot put athlete, as they try to throw further, has to throw faster, reducing the time they have available. They can't use a heavier shot to take advantage of their greater strength.
We can put on a bigger gear, if we're strong enough to push it, to go faster and keep the time available to push constant, or even increase it, for a given speed. This is why you'll see riders like Shane Perkins and Anna Meares pushing big gears, while "weaker" riders like Vicky Pendleton, Theo Boss and the like will push smaller gears at higher cadences for the same speed. We can optimise our cadence and time available to apply force with gear selection and changing crank lengths to take advantage of our raw strength, if we have it, by pushing big gears, or our explosive strength, by pushing smaller gears. | 2019-04-25T22:23:10 | http://upupup.aboc.com.au/the-book/04-off-the-bike-into-the-gym/strong-enough |
She also recommends women speak with a licensed therapist for advice.“It’s important to find your emotional center and get strong emotionally, so you can figure out who you are and what your goals are when it comes to dating.As Heather explains, “Women need to dedicate time for physical health.A date is always an exciting event, especially when you’re young – it brings so many new emotions.I notice that lots of people who were married for maybe 10 years or less seem to say…we got married early, found out it didn’t work, and then later remarried and have found long term, happiness with their next partner/spouse. ) increase the number of potential men for you, but I think you will see that age is only a number, unlike it was, say if you were 30, dating a 20 year old. Go on dates, but don’t force the serious relationship. What I also notice is that I don’t seem to hear any/as many happy stories about people (like me) who were married 20-25 years, got divorced, and then found happiness/ marriage, etc again. I have always believed that 50’s is in fact, no-man’s land, whether you are single, married, divorced or widowed, the reason being that you aren’t really young anymore, but you aren’t old either. I am me and all I can do is live life to my potential. The thing that bothered me most about your email is this part: You write: “found happiness/marriage etc. You were smart enough to avoid jumping right back into the dating scene while the wounds were fresh.Now that you have spent long enough putting the pieces back together, what next? And how do you go about meeting women now that you are older?
As I look forward and begin to think about the possibility of future relationships, I can see that dating over 50 might be difficult. So, not only does a large age range, (let’s say 42-57 perhaps?
As she explains, “As a caveat, when a woman navigates life after divorce, it really is about creating a starting point around these four priorities in her new found identity/chapter, where she is no longer in a relationship.
The goal is to create a fulfilling life for herself – whether she ends up in another relationship or not – where these pillars encompass her life.” Before ending up with her current partner, Heather’s dating experiences ran the gamut of good and bad, and she learned a lot along the way.
Anyway, here are a few tips that can help you make your dating experience after divorce less painful.
Even if you’re over 40, there’s still hope for you.
Civil unrest, warfare, and foreign invasions added to the difficulties.

Cool project, will be fun to see it progress!
Your thread inspired me to look at some cool 90's Audis in Europe. Got my eye on 1992 Ur-S4, 2.2L I5 with 220hp. Interesting car.
Tempting but no, right now I’m keeping the new whip tiptronic. I have been wanting a tip for daily driving duties especially where I’m at with all the summer tourist traffic coming to/from Newport. Sometimes its a royal PITA....however with that said who knows?
This car will be amazing when done. Can't wait to see the end result. Heck of a stable!
I purchased this antenna today so I could swap in the short ECS Tuning antenna to my Avant.
Congrats on the purchase! I can't wait to see the transformation as you clean this thing up to your high standards!
I had a C4 S4 in high school. The thing was a hoot and a half, especially in the snow. I have very fond memories of that car. I can still hear that I5 purr.
I like that generation of Audi. Congrats Charlie! | 2019-04-23T18:24:46 | http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?21780-Charrie-s-AUDI-S4-Avant/page3&s=90d7e959f8de3d323b55803c6b37da53 |

We’re heading back to Japan in October, and one of the places I want to explore more thoroughly is Pontocho in Kyoto.
We’ve wandered along its narrow alley on a couple of visits, usually at the end of a long day of sight seeing, but never really paid much attention to it as a destination. It’s often been an afterthought. A place we’ve slipped into as we were passing along Shijo-dori on our way somewhere else, or on our way home. It’s usually crowded with people and we haven’t eaten at any of the restaurants or tried to go into any of the bars that line it. We did once see a small Tetsujin 28-go sitting in a basket of charcoal, though, which was cute.
Pontocho is one of Kyoto’s Hanamachi, but we’ve never timed it quite right to see a Geiko or a Maiko making her way to an appointment at one of the exclusive tea houses in the area. The Pontocho tea houses are beautiful from the outside, but without an introduction we know we’ll never get to see inside one.
We’ve admired the exterior of the restaurant Takara (多から) a couple of times, but haven’t ventured inside there, either. Mainly because we’re vegetarian and traditional Japanese restaurants are generally off limits to us.
Peering down the alleyways that run off at tangents to the main street is intriguing. I usually feel too gauche and lacking in adequate Japanese to venture down them and see where we end up. They are pretty to look at, though, and I think that is part of the charm of Pontocho. You don’t have to spend money and visit the bars and restaurants to feel like you’ve spent time there.
I do fancy popping into the Hello Dolly Jazz & Whisky Bar, mainly because of the Doris Day picture in the window, but also because other people’s photos on Trip Advisor make it look great.
I want to try Vodka Bar Nakanishi as well, since vodka is one of my favourite things in life, and it has a corking display of matryoshka dolls in the window. Maybe this year will be the year we pass through its doors.
I also like looking at the signs outside the restaurants and bars that try to tempt passersby with their creativity. I only eat fish in extreme circumstances and Mr Hicks doesn’t eat it at all, but I love the hand drawn images that we saw outside one sushi restaurant we passed.
Almost everywhere you look there are traditional lanterns featuring the chidori, or plover, which is the symbol of Pontocho.
Perhaps this year will be the year we make time to visit Pontocho on purpose and have a few drinks alongside the Kamogawa.
If you’ve been to Pontocho and have any hints and tips, please make suggestions for where we might go in the comments!
It has to be, doesn’t it?
This place looks so beautiful. Are bars specific to a certain kind of a liquor a common thing? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one, but I like the idea. I love both vodka and whiskey, and both of those bars look lovely.
Usually you can get all sorts of spirits in bars. There’s another whisky bar in Kyoto that we’ve been to, but they serve other drinks as well. We’ve been to pubs and izakaya as well, which serve beers and food.
No hints or tips since I have never been there. Very much looking forward to photos and descriptions of your Pontocho adventures.
Those photos have kindled a yearning to go back to Japan. Will you just be around Kyoto or are you doing Osaka and Tokyo too?
This year we’re doing Kyoto, Nagoya and Kobe. Haven’t been to Nagoya or Kobe before. I want to do a day trip to Hikone on Lake Biwa as well, while we’re in Kyoto.
I spent 6 weeks in Nagoya as a home stay student when I was 16. It totally blew my mind. It was most definitely one of those life changing experiences.
I’m really looking forward to it. I have a friend who works for a Japanese company in the UK and his Japanese office is in Nagoya. He’s given me lots of tips about where to go. My main reason for wanting to go is because I am current custodian of my grandparents’ Noritake vases. They married in the 1920s and the vases were a wedding gift. I don’t know where mill workers would get hold of imported Japanese porcelain in Oldham, so I want to go to the museum to see if I can discover anything.
Can’t think of a better reason…. | 2019-04-22T20:54:20 | https://nihonnozasshi.wordpress.com/2016/08/05/pontocho-%E5%85%88%E6%96%97%E7%94%BA/ |

With heavy support from the likes of The Martinez Brothers, Seth Troxler, Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Jamie Jones and Luciano, Milan based producer/DJ Shaf Huse quickly emerged as one of the industries most talked about names of 2017. Notably "Mavado", which was a major hit on the scene last summer, and selected by famed Ibiza nightspot Circoloco as the anthem for their closing season, the young Italian’s emergence onto the global circuit certainly didn’t go unnoticed either, with releases on the likes of Play To Win, Avotre, Inmotion and D-Floor Music and collaborations with Music On resident LEON, whilst gracing the decks at key venues across Europe (Fabric London, Ministry Of Sound, Egg London, Amnesia Milan, AIR Amsterdam) and South America (Club Room Chile).

OTTAWA — An idyllic estate on the shore of Meech Lake outside Ottawa will be the scene Thursday when representatives from more than a dozen countries gather to discuss the war against the Islamic State group and the futures of Iraq and Syria.
A recent U.S. Defense Department report that said while ISIL has lost nearly all the territory it once controlled in Iraq, it has started to dig roots as an “effective” insurgent group — and that it could take “years, if not decades” before the Iraqi military can deal with it on its own.
Canada earlier this year assumed command of a NATO training mission that includes 250 Canadian troops and whose aim is to train the Iraqi military so that it can ensure security and defend against threats such as ISIL.
But hundreds of other Canadian soldiers not assigned to the training mission have continued to fly transport and refuelling aircraft, collect and analyze intelligence and provide medical assistance to coalition efforts against ISIL, also known as ISIS.
That aspect of the mission is set to expire in March, and the question going into Thursday’s meeting is whether the federal government will opt to keep those troops in Iraq, change their mission or begin to take them out of the country.
The Meech Lake meeting will involve representatives from 13 countries leading the fight against ISIL, whose capture of large swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014 and brutal tactics resulted in a massive U.S.-led military intervention involving dozens of countries.
Canada initially deployed a handful of special-forces soldiers to help the Kurds in northern Iraq defend against further ISIL incursions in September 2014, before adding fighter jets, surveillance and refuelling aircraft and more troops.
The mission, now in its fifth year, has evolved numerous times. That includes the Liberal government’s decision to withdraw Canadian fighter jets from the region in 2016 and a shift from training Kurdish forces to helping the Iraqi military.
The U.S.-led coalition against ISIL says the extremist group has lost all the territory it held in Iraq and still holds less than one per cent of the land it once occupied in Syria.
Iraq’s deserts and mountains were found to have made it hard for the Iraqi military to oust the last ISIL remnants, it added, allowing the group to continue attacks against Iraqi forces, local community leaders and the country’s power grid.
That, in turn, has weakened public confidence in the Iraqi government and military, which is already low amid anger and protests over a lack of water, electricity and jobs as corruption and political instability in Baghdad have slowed post-ISIL recovery.
Yet while Canada and others have turned their efforts to train the Iraqi military from fighting on the battlefield to counter-insurgency, the report quoted the U.S. Defense Department as warning that it could take “years, if not decades” for the Iraqis to become self-reliant.
“Systemic weaknesses remain, many of which are the same deficiencies that enabled the rise of ISIS in 2014,” the report reads. | 2019-04-21T06:46:51 | https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/canada-to-host-anti-isil-meeting-as-ottawa-weighs-future-of-iraq-mission |

Assad: Chlorine gas, barrel bomb claims "propaganda"
As Syria's vicious civil war enters its fifth year, President Bashar al-Assad granted CBS News a rare one-on-one interview, a year-and-a-half after his last conversation with "CBS This Morning" co-host Charlie Rose. Their meeting Thursday in Damascus came after reports of a new chlorine gas attack that allegedly killed six people.
Assad pushed back against claims his regime is using chlorine gas, and the devastating and equally indiscriminate barrel bombs which are dropped from helicopters.
"This is part of the malicious propaganda against Syria. First of all, the chlorine gas is not military gas. You can buy it anywhere," Assad said, suggesting if anyone had used it, it was the rebels trying to oust him.
He said even they don't use it often because it's "not very effective."
"It's not used as military gas. That's very self-evident. Traditional arms is more important than chlorine, and if it was very effective, the terrorists would have used it on a larger scale," Assad said.
Rose asked why Assad then does not allow international inspectors in to verify whether the poison has been been used or not.
"We would," Assad said. "We always ask the delegation, in parts delegation to come and investigate. But I mean, logically and realistically it cannot be used as military. This is part of this propaganda because, as you know, in the media, when it bleeds it leads... and they always look for something that bleeds, which is the chlorine gas and the barrel bombs."
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, over 200,000 people have been killed in the civil war in Syria, and more than 85 percent of the civilians who have died have been killed by government forces.
"As I said earlier, the war, it's not about -- it's not traditionally war. It's not about capturing land and gaining land. It's about winning the hearts and minds of the Syrian. We cannot win the heart and minds of the Syrians while we are killing Syrians," Assad said.
"We cannot sustain four years in that position as a government, and me as president, while the rest of the world, most of the world, the great powers, the regional power, are against me and my people are against me," he added. "That's impossible... So this is not realistic and this is against our interests as government is to kill the people. What do we get? What the benefit of killing the people?"
The interview was shot by Syrian TV at the request of Assad's people, citing "security" reasons. However, nothing was off-limits when it came to Rose's questions.

'The city of Nawabs' is like a quintessential gourmet central.
The cooking technique usually incorporates the'dum style'.
Lakhnawi Recipes- Lucknow is known for its nawabi heritage, architectural brilliance and some of the most royal relishes.

Time, budget, and slow Internet access could get in the way of teaching yourself to play guitar.
There are plenty of guitar resources that could help. However, most of the free online guitar lessons are isolated tips instead of a structured approach.
A structured approach makes it easier for you to learn to play guitar.
Effective guitar courses and guitar books are those who have been around for a long time and have worked out the kinks in teaching.
This article is a walk-through from buying a starter guitar kit to reading tabs and practicing scales.
2 Should you buy an acoustic or electric guitar?
3 How much should you pay for your first beginner guitar?
4 Where should you buy your starter guitar?
The first step in learning to play guitar is to decide on the style of music you like to play.
Acoustic guitars lend themselves to classical, folk and country music, and electric guitars create sounds of rock and jazz.
Should you buy an acoustic or electric guitar?
The songs, the guitar players and the style of music that inspires you determine which guitar is best for you instead of the physical characteristic of guitars.
However, there are physical differences between acoustic and electric guitar that you need to be aware of.
Acoustic guitars are hollow, and electric guitars are solid. The need for a sound hollow chamber increases the size of the guitar.
Acoustic guitars are larger with thicker strings that make it a little harder to play. It may take you a little time to develop the technique and the finger strength to get it right.
Electric guitar body is thinner and easier to hold.
In an acoustic guitar sound echoes and projects through the body of the guitar. An electric guitar needs an amplifier since the vibration cannot resonate through a solid body of an electric guitar.
The vibration is “picked up” and is transferred to an amplifier. The sound you hear from an amplifier is an electrical current that could be manipulated.
The pickups and amplifiers play a greater role in the quality of sounds from your electric guitar where the construction and the sound chamber influence the sound in an acoustic guitar.
How much should you pay for your first beginner guitar?
You can buy a 38″ acoustic guitar starter package complete with a gig bag, strap an pick for less than $27.95. You can also buy Gibson J-45 vintage sunburst acoustic guitar for $3,499.
For a price conscious beginner guitar player who has not yet developed a feel for the sounds she likes, it does not make sense to buy expensive guitars. However, cheap guitars may not provide the quality of sound that encourages her to play.
If you are a serious beginner, you can get quality sounds from both acoustic and electric guitar kits in $100 to $200 range.
With a little research, you can also find quality used guitars at discounted prices. Generally if you buy cheaper guitars from big names, you get better quality and more bang for your buck.
Where should you buy your starter guitar?
In a guitar store, you get to hold the guitar and play it. You have a chance to hear it first hand and see how it feels. On the spot, you can try different ones and find what is best for you.
However, in a store, you are likely to pay more for the guitar because of the overhead involved to keep the store open.
It is hard to beat online guitar prices. And if you know exactly what you are looking for, online guitar stores make it easy and inexpensive to own your first guitar.
Guitar constructions and cutouts change based on your dominant hand. For left-handed individuals, you need to make sure that the guitar you like comes in a left-handed construction.
I know some very petite ladies who love to play guitar. They have a hard time with a normal size guitar especially an acoustic guitar.
Make sure that the guitar matches your size.
Also, check out the “action” on a guitar. The action of a guitar is how high the strings are away from the fingerboard. Higher actions require more pressure, and lower actions could create a buzz if the guitar is not made well. | 2019-04-26T08:16:24 | http://www.guitarresources.net/online-guitar-lessons/teach-yourself-guitar/ |

More often than not, it can be real rough getting up and out of bed bright and early to make it out the door on time. Comfy pillows and warm blankets are more than a little tough to leave, okay?! If you’re a professional snooze-button pusher, finding yourself always getting ready in a rush and almost missing your way to work, you will totally be into one guy’s crazy invention: an ejecting bed. We’re intrigued and terrified all at once.
Check out more of Colin’s crazy creative inventions, like heated shoes, a toasting knife and a karaoke shower as part of his “Furze’s Invention Show” series. All super impressive, but seemingly unrealistic. Two snaps for creativity though, dude.

Without question one of the greatest challenges in terms of real-world usage of secure email is getting your correspondents to set things up on their end. People are busy and have other interests, and may not share your personal desire to securely exchange email messages unless you make it dirt-easy for them.
Fortunately, Apple seems to have considered precisely this situation! They’ve built in some very nice abilities into their Certificate Assistant software, allowing you to become your own Certificate Authority (CA) and create viable S/MIME email security credentials on behalf of other Mac users—securely and remotely—with little effort on their part.
Unfortunately, Certificate Assistant and Keychain Access and the whole security infrastructure remain a buggy minefield of GOTCHAs. I’ve done the best i can (as an uncompensated volunteer documenter) to find, track, and test various functions, but there are simply too many possible ways of doing things and too many bugs which i find hard to reproduce to provide you an iron-clad, guaranteed path to success. What lies below is my best effort, with all the workarounds i could find.
Let your correspondents know that you’re now a CA and ready to create certificates for them. Normally when you do this, you’ll include a configuration file which will make the process easier for them.
Warning: Serial Numbers Matter when you’re your own Certificate Authority! I found out the hard way that Certificate Assistant and Keychain Access will not allow more than one certificate from a given CA to share the same serial number—including the root CA certificate.
Be certain you keep track of serial numbers for all certificates issued by your CA! By default, copies of certificates you create for others are placed in your own default keychain (except in OS 10.4 Tiger), so right there we have the potential for massive conflict!
10.13, 10.12, 10.11, 10.10: works correctly with a leaf certificate override. Fails with a CSR override. Same as for 10.7 and 10.8, and likely 10.9.
10.8, 10.7: works correctly with a leaf certificate override. Fails with a CSR override.
10.5, 10.6: fails with a leaf certificate override. Works correctly with CSR override.
10.4: works correctly with a leaf certificate (there really is not such a thing as defaults to override). Works correctly with CSR (there really is not such a thing as defaults to override).
Any certificates made with defaults overridden may not increment this counter! For this reason, carefully track all serial numbers on all certificates made by Certificate Assistant as a CA. You may need to re-do a certificate which pops out with an already-used number, overriding defaults or manually incrementing the counter in the .certAuthorityConfig (Plist format) file.
Warning 2: Back up your entire macOS before experimenting with this in macOS High Sierra. There exists a bug which can create a Certificate Authority certificate which cannot be properly trusted and cannot be removed. If you get yourself into this bind, you’ll have to either go really deep into Terminal Land (e.g. Super Duper User), or revert to your backup from before you started playing with making a Certificate Authority in High Sierra. (It would be kind of you not to ask me how i know this. ) While backing up is always a good idea, it’s far less dire a problem on OS 10.12 and earlier.
If you would like to send out certificate invitations via email to other users immediately at the end of the setup process (not required), be certain that the email address you intend to use for your Certificate Authority is all set up and working in Mail.
Launch Certificate Assistant (directly or through the Keychain Access menu of Keychain Access. Select Create a Certificate Authority….
Make the basic choices, such as the name of your CA and its email address.
Be sure to check Let me override defaults!
Set the Serial Number and the Validity Period for your CA. Note that when your CA’s certificate expires, so do all subsidiary certificates created with it, so be sure to choose a sufficiently long time for the validity period.
There is an option (default disabled) to “Create a CA web site”. This might be useful if you’re able to set up a secure website and plan to distribute certificates to a large number of people. I did not test this option.
Fill out personal information for the CA, as you’d do for a personal self-signed certificate. This information will be part of all certificates your CA creates, as well as your own CA certificate. Consult the main article for further information if necessary.
For greatest compatibility with other systems, i suggest using the defaults of 2048 bit Key Size and the RSA Algorithm. For other choices you may want to consult Key Size, Algorithm, Security, and Compatibility Considerations for S/MIME in Apple Mail Mac to ensure your choice will be compatible with the macOS versions you wish to cover.
You might think you have deja vu all over again when you click Continue and again see the Key Pair window. Notice that this time you’re making settings for your user’s credentials: the ones your CA will be making for them.
This information will go into the settings file on your system and to be sent to your “customers”.
Next you’ll be setting up the Key Usage Extension (KUE) for this CA, if you use it.
Note: This is currently an exercise in futility with Certificate Assistant 5.0 for Mountain Lion through El Capitan, as it has a bug. Read all about it below.
Thankfully this bug appears fixed with the newer build of Certificate Assistant 5.0 included with OS 10.12.
Since you’re also creating a template (settings) file for your CA users as well as creating your own certificate, you’ll now be presented for the KUE options for your users. The same considerations as for a self-signed KUE apply here, which is to say: be certain to additionally check Key Encipherment. If you have any doubt, please re-read the KUE information in the main article. I’m omitting a screenshot of the User KUE window as it looks exactly the same, other than its title and explanatory text (user vs. CA).
Interestingly, the EKUE is not included by default for the CA, and if one enables it, its default option is “Any”, which is nearly (but not exactly) the same as not having the EKUE at all… the difference being that having the EKUE set to “Any” explicitly declares any ability for the certificate, whereas having no EKUE leaves things undefined. From what i’ve read, in most cases the real-world interpretation of no EKUE is the same as having it and explicitly allowing any abilities for it. I suggest going with Apple’s default of omitting it for the CA.
Points to you if you already know that you will now see the EKUE options for the CA’s users. No screenshot because it is the same EKUE window as for a self-signed certificate, other than the title. The defaults are the usual Apple S/MIME defaults of including the EKUE, marking the extension as critical, and assigning (limiting) “Email Protection” capabilities to the certificate.
You may leave it at its defaults or disable the EKUE entirely, as you wish. As of this writing, i find no particular benefit to either option (tested only between various Macs running various OS X and Mail versions).
The Basic Constraints extension for your CA is absolutely essential! You should not touch its default settings (enabled, “Use this certificate as a certificate authority”).
The Path Length Constraint Present setting exists to place a limit on the number of certificates which may be in a certificate chain and still be considered legitimate. It is beyond the scope of this article. Its default (omitted) allows certificate chains of any length.
Once again you will now see the same thing for your users: the user option for the Basic Constraints extension. As discussed in the sections on individual self-signed certificates, the Apple default is to omit the Basic Constraints extension for end-user certificates, and i’ve found that doing so works well. Again, no screenshot because it looks the same other than being disabled by default and the title indicating that it is for the end user, not the CA itself.
The Subject Alternate Name Extension (SANE) for this CA is disabled by default (and for that reason, no screenshot here). I recommend leaving it this way and moving on.
The SANE for the users of the CA presents an interesting conundrum: is the Apple Certificate Assistant template smart enough to drop in the correct email address for each end user as their new certificate is created by this CA? Answer: Yes, it is… at least in my testing (single email address per user), for Certificate Assistant 2.0 (Leopard 10.5) and newer (but not Certificate Assistant 1.0 for 10.4 Tiger).
Now you’ll need to specify a location for the CA certificate (and keys). The default is the OS X user login keychain, and so far in my testing that appears to be the correct location.
As long as you’re on OS 10.12 Sierra or earlier, might as well select the checkbox for “On this machine, trust certificates signed by this CA”, where it is available (All OS X and Certificate Assistant versions except Tiger and its Cert. Asst. 1.0). Do not do this on OS 10.13 High Sierra! Apparently this wasn’t tested (or not sufficiently tested) with the improved security infrastructure of this OS. See the trust bug for details.
The exact wording and appearance of this dialog window differ across OS X versions, but the general idea is as shown above for Mountain Lion. Cancel this in High Sierra if you make a mistake and wind up here, or you’ll be in a world of woe!
Tiger Only presents a window for the user to diddle with the configuration file name.
Besides letting you know you’ve been successful creating your CA, this window has several buttons (4 for all OSes except Tiger) plus a “Learn More” button with helpful additional information.
There is a button to Show Certificate Authority, which opens up the Finder window with the CA settings file and certificate. This window is the same for Certificate Assistant 2.0 for Leopard through Cert. Asst. 5.0 for Mountain Lion and newer to date (example just below. Tiger has a more primitive version of the same idea, also discussed below). On all versions except Tiger, if a website was set up for the CA, the Visit CA Web Site… button will be enabled. Also on non-Tiger versions, there’s a Show CA Certificate… button, which shows the content of the new CA certificate. Finally, and potentially most usefully, there is a button to Mail Invitation… (says “Mail Configuration File…” on Tiger Certificate Assistant version 1.0). This option will be discussed further in the section CA-Initiated Email, below, and in the next item.
Before closing the Conclusion window or quitting Certificate Assistant, you may want to click the Mail Invitation… button, since there’s no good easy way to get back to this point once the CA creation process is finished, to obtain Apple’s (mostly) nicely-worded text. What happens next depends whether or not you previously set up the CA’s email address (the one you just typed into this new CA certificate).
If the CA’s email address on the certificate is already properly entered into Mail, you may see (depending on your OS version) the padlock (unlocked, because you have no existing S/MIME certificate for the user you’re inviting, else why would you be creating one as a CA?) and starburst seal (checked) icons in the Mail invitation message form. (If you have more than one email address set up in Mail, be certain you’ve selected the CA’s email address as the From: address.) If this is what you see and you have all the recipient email addresses ready to go for people for whom you’ll be making certificates (at least right now), go ahead and enter their information into the To: and/or CC: lines and send out this invitation message.
If you do not see the security icons or do not have the recipient addresses available or for any other reason are not ready to send out invitations, Save the message as a Draft—don’t send it just yet! (You don’t even need to enter recipient email addresses at this time.) I’ll explain below.
successfully puts the settings configuration file in that folder, but fails on its promise to put any sort of CA certificate into this folder. See Version Quirks below for additional information.
On OS 10.5 through 10.12, assuming you checked the “On this machine, trust certificates signed by this CA” when setting up the CA, you should be all set. Verify this by opening up the CA’s certificate (in Keychain Access) and checking the trust settings. Apple’s default is to Always Trust for every possible option. If yours is not set this way, make this change now (or if you have specific needs/goals, make changes as you require). If you neglected to check that box during setup or intentionally did not do so because you’re on High Sierra and being wise, you will definitely need to make this change manually before continuing. At this point it is safe even in High Sierra, which will trust it only for this specific macOS user account, which in my testing will work properly.
Due to severe bugs, Tiger users will need to do the dance of putting a copy of the CA root certificate in the X509Anchors keychain, using the same method as for self-signed certificates on that OS. The Trust settings override options in Tiger are virtually nonfunctional in my experience.
I am finding some severe bugs in the keychain infrastructure on the newer OSes prior to 10.13 (confirmed in Mountain Lion) whereby failing to select On this machine, trust certificates signed by this CA during CA setup may lead to a situation where the CA root certificate will not function properly. I have yet to find a workaround for this bug, which unfortunately blocks certificates from working on the system(s) where it happens.
If you have multiple Macs and you use these other Macs for CA work and/or use that same email address for everyday secure email and/or you will be corresponding with other people for whom your CA issues certificates on these other machines, you’ll want to move a copy of your CA credentials (or at least the certificate) over to these other systems and trust the certificate on them. Check out the section “Other Machines?” on the self-signed certificates page for your particular OS X version for details. The same information applies as for self-signed certificates + their matching keys.
Preserve your CA Credentials—Back Up!
If a self-signed certificate user fails to adequately back up their credentials (certificate and private key at least, though also saving the public key is advised), they’re only screwing themselves over. A Certificate Authority is screwing over not only themselves but also all their users. Don’t… use a sane, reliable, redundant backup arrangement. If you’re not up to it, you might want to re-think acting as a CA.
It is up to each end user to back up their own credentials, though you should back up the piece you have on your CA system (other than Tiger): each of their signed-by-you certificates. They’ll still be screwed if they lose their private key (and their correspondents are using encryption on messages sent to them), but since that key is normally not on the CA’s system, it isn’t strictly your problem. Use your discretion for family/small business situations where you may want to take on the additional responsibility of backing up your users’ private keys, and be sure that if you do this you do so very securely!
The mechanics are identical to what is needed for self-signed certificates. Please refer to the Back Up! section of the main article.
It is possible to create one certificate which can be utilized as both a CA and end-user certificate. I have read in the past (and didn’t save the sources so can’t cite them here) that it is unwise to have one certificate do both: it is better to keep the CA and end-user functions separated, in separate certificates. My vague recollection is that this prevents cross-contamination, such as the CA certificate going down in flames (and taking with it all certificates it has ever signed as well as itself) if it somehow becomes compromised, possibly related to its secure email or other functions. There may also be an argument regarding granularity of certificate ability permissions. In any case, for the purposes of this section i’m assuming there exist one or more good reasons to separate the functions.
Of course, if you’ve previously created your own self-signed certificate you may continue to use that. However if you’re just getting started with secure email and hoping to have many people participate with you making certificates for most or all of them, it will be easier on everyone to have your own S/MIME secure email user certificate be either your CA root certificate or a “leaf” (derivative, subordinate) certificate of your Certificate Authority.
Please note that i’m distinguishing a user’s CA function from their personal daily use of secure email. I’ve learned over the course of testing that letting the CA have a full set of secure email credentials in its own root certificate makes the process easier for setting up other users of the CA. If that is all that this particular user identity does, there may be no need to make one’s own secure email user certificate. Or, if the person acting as CA is using only one email address for being CA and in their everyday life, adding another certificate for the same email address is likely to only confuse OS X and its bundled software, so it is better to just use the CA root certificate for both functions. If there are different email addresses the person uses as CA and in their daily life, given the vague memory of the un-cited references i recommend creating a certificate separate from the CA certificate for non-CA secure email uses. If you fall in this latter category, read on and make a separate leaf certificate for your (distinct) daily use email address. If you fall in one of the other two categories (single email address for CA only or CA + daily use), skip this section and just use the CA root certificate you already made for both CA and everyday secure email purposes.
The procedure is mostly similar to, yet slightly different from, creating one’s own self-signed certificate. Whenever you see me type “the usual” and rather terse information below, this procedure exactly matches the self-signed procedure. You’ll be able to see full details with (usually) OS-appropriate screenshots in the Detailed Setup Information section of the main article, for your particular OS version.
Open Certificate Assistant and select Create a Certificate….
As nearly always is the case for end-user certificates, be certain to tick Let me override defaults.
Now type in the usual certificate information: a new, unique serial number, a decently long validity period (but no longer than your parent CA certificate).
The usual personal information comes next: email address, common name, etc.
The Choose An Issuer window is next. For you as a CA yourself, it will default to your own CA.
The usual Key Pair window is next, and as always, i accept the strong default settings.
Now we have the usual Key Usage Extension (KUE) with the usual end-user doofy defaults which don’t allow the certificate to operate properly. I used to disable it, until Mail 10 for Sierra started requiring it, so do keep it enabled and do check Key Encipherment.
The usual Extended Key Usage Extension (EKUE) for end-user is next (except on Tiger, which lacks this extension). I tend to leave it at its defaults: critical, Email Protection, though in self-signed testing i also tested disabling it and that worked fine as well.
The usual Basic Constraints option is presented, not included by default (my recommendation and how i left it).
OSes Leopard 10.5 and newer present the Subject Alternate Name Extension (SANE) included, not critical, and with the rfc822name correctly filled in (verify this!). I left it this way in my testing. Certificate Assistant 1.0 for Tiger leaves default not included, which is fine as well (for any OS version).
The usual Specify Location window appears. As usual, the login keychain is the correct location for the completed certificate.
Certificate Assistant creates the credentials (ID)—user certificate, public key, private key. Done!
Note that the text is in error: it says “Click the attachment” when in fact the recipient needs to double-click the attachment to open it. This same mis-statement reappears throughout this process in the various email messages sent out by Certificate Assistant. You may wish to edit “Click” to “Double-click” before sending.
Also before sending, i very much recommend signing your outgoing email invitation message with your CA’s root certificate. This will provide your root certificate to your correspondent(s), which they will need to have in place on their system for their own certificate to operate.
One might think that if the Conclusion window is already closed and no draft email was saved that it would make sense to re-open Certificate Assistant, and select Create a Certificate for Someone Else as a Certificate Authority…. The problem with doing so is that Certificate Assistant asks for an existing CSR from the end user rather than once again making the offer to email a settings file to the end user.
Instead, manually create an email message to your correspondent(s), sign it with your CA certificate, and be sure to attach the configuration file (file suffix .certAuthorityConfig) inside the folder with the name of your CA (full path is at the end of the section above).
The “[name of CA goes here]” Certificate Authority is now available to accept certificate requests from you. Double click the attachment and the Certificate Assistant will guide you through this process.
When your correspondent receives your invitation, your self-signed certificate will be new to them and not trusted on their system (unless you’ve used it to correspond with them in email previously and they trusted it at that time). They will need to follow the instructions for their particular OS for trusting a self-signed certificate, with the important difference that they need to set everything to Always Trust via making that selection in the top-most “When using this certificate:” pop-up list at the top of the certificate’s Trust section. This is in case your CA creates user certificates for them with additional functions beyond S/MIME email.
The user sees the Certificate Assistant Conclusion window, with instructions about what they’ll do next.
With all OS versions so far except 10.4 Tiger, using the defaults will use the information from the CA’s configuration file: Certificate Assistant successfully respected my CA’s choices for omitting KUE and including the SANE, properly filled in. Certificate Assistant also successfully increments the serial number to the next non-conflicting value when using defaults, in my tests.
People acting as CAs need to pay careful attention: there is a bug in some versions of Certificate Assistant (confirmed on versions 2.0, 3.0, and 4.4) whereby the CA’s copy sometimes generates a new, spurious set of user keys along with a certificate in the CA’s keychain. The CA’s Certificate Assistant should only generate a new user certificate (in the CA’s keychain and in an outgoing Mail message form). If you the CA see a pair of new user keys appear in your own CA keychain on this step, please immediately detour to User Certificate Fails to Work and/or CA Certificate Assistant Generates Spurious User Keys.
Cert. Asst. 2.0 and newer uses Mail to pre-fill an outgoing message with the completed user certificate in a certificate.pem file. A copy of this user cert. is also placed into the CA’s login keychain (and shows as valid since the CA’s credentials are already there and trusted).
Note: the CA may be given the option to encrypt (padlock icon) the outgoing email message to the user, containing the user’s new signed certificate. DON’T: the end user does not have their certificate yet, which is in this very email message and not yet installed! Leave the padlock unlocked for this message!
This completes the process at the CA end.
It will be installed into their login keychain, next to their keys which were generated earlier in the process on their own system, for a complete credential set. (The screenshot shows a Tiger-created certificate in .p7b format. Leopard 10.5 and newer will supply the final user certificate in .pem format. Either one should work properly.) The process is now complete at both ends.
Note that in this process, the user’s (remote correspondent’s) private key is generated on their own system via their own Certificate Assistant utility program, using the CA’s configuration file initially emailed. Their private key never leaves their system and remains secure. Clever!
If the CA followed the instructions carefully and everything went well, the CA’s certificate should have been provided to the user via the initial email invitation, when that message was sent out signed with the CA’s self-signed root certificate. Or, if not on the initial message, perhaps the one conveying the newly-signed certificate. Assuming this happened and the user trusted the incoming CA certificate on their system, the process is now complete at both ends. Remember that it will be necessary to Quit Mail (all OS X versions to date, and maybe maybe not the newer macOS-named versions—try it!) and restart it before secure email options appear.
The CA and user set up a time they can work together.
The CA emails their certificate to the user, via signing a message to them with this certificate (skip this step if they already have it but have not trusted it). If you attempt to attach the certificate manually instead of simply signing the outgoing message, you are on your own. That isn’t Apple’s design intent and i have done absolutely no testing of this. Signed certificates automatically go into the user’s keychain; attached certificates probably will not.
The CA and user communicate via some other channel, such as a voice telephone call or video chat, where they both can have high confidence that the other person is who they claim to be.
The user imports the CA certificate into their keychain (if it is not already there). The specific keychain into which to place the CA certificate varies with OS version and whether the CA certificate will apply to this OS X user account only, or machine-wide. See Version Quirks for specifics for your OS version.
The CA reads off one of the two digital fingerprints for their certificate, the user confirming that what the CA is reading matches what they are seeing on their copy of the CA’s certificate’s fingerprint.
The final step is the user manually trusting the CA’s certificate on their system. Follow the steps for your particular OS version, same as for a self-signed certificate, other than CA root certificates are normally trusted for all abilities, in case the CA issues a user certificate for other/additional functions.
It is not necessary for an end user to receive an invitation from a CA with a settings file as the first step. It is entirely possible for the end user to use their copy of Certificate Assistant to create a key pair for themself, generate a CSR, and send it to the CA (if they have the CA’s email address) or via some other means (if they don’t have the CA’s email address). We’ll cover each of these cases, starting with the first.
User picks Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority… in their copy of Certificate Assistant.
The default of “Request is: Emailed to the CA” is what we’re discussing in this section. The user is given the option to override the default key pair information. Since the default on all versions of Certificate Assistant is the strongest RSA key pair Certificate Assistant can make (same as for the CA itself), i did not experiment with this override in my testing, other than to see that it brings up the very same Key Pair window as appears when creating a CA and creating a self-signed certificate. Unless the CA is insane and goes with a less secure key pair, there really is no point to using this. If the user chooses to do so anyway, the CA can look at the final cert. before sending it out to verify its settings, and refuse to email the finished cert. back to the user who sent in the CSR, if the CA disagrees with the user’s key override choices.
The usual Conclusion window is next. Depending upon the Certificate Assistant version, Cert. Asst. will either direct-email the CSR to the CA itself, or invoke Mail with a pre-filled outgoing message to the CA for the user to send manually. Public and Private keys for the user are already generated and placed into the default (almost always: login) keychain.
The CA opens the received CSR. The Issuing Certificate Authority window opens in their copy of Certificate Assistant. This is one case where i found that Certificate Assistant did the correct thing with the defaults. You can always try the defaults then inspect the certificate carefully before emailing it back to the user. If it is faulty, delete the outgoing email message draft, delete the new user certificate from your keychain, and run the CSR again, overriding defaults. The CA’s Certificate Assistant will email the completed, signed certificate to the user who submitted the CSR, to the email address on the certificate. Be sure to sign the outgoing messages with the CA’s certificate! (for Certificate Assistant versions which use Mail to send rather than direct-sending themselves).
If the CA’s root certificate is not already properly installed in the user’s system, this will need to be done before the user’s newly signed certificate can be used. The user will know because the CA’s signature will show as “Unable to verify message signature” in the incoming message containing the signed certificate, if it is not currently trusted. The user needs to trust the CA’s certificate using the usual methods.
The user will double-click the attached certificate (.pem) and put it into their default (login) keychain.
User quits and re-launches Mail: secure email is available.
It may be the case that an end user knows of a Certificate Authority (CA) but does not have their email address or for some reason wishes not to use email to convey the CSR to the CA (or as in one of my testing cases, Certificate Assistant may fail on the emailing out step, requiring a workaround). All versions of Certificate Assistant provide for this scenario as well. The procedure in this case is very close to that described above, for email submission of the CSR to the CA.
The default is “Request is: Emailed to the CA”, but there is also an option “Request is: Saved to disk”, which is what we’re discussing in this section. There is no need to fill in the CA Email Address, though as always the User Email Address is mandatory. The user is given the option to override the default key pair information. Since the default on all versions of Certificate Assistant is the strongest RSA key pair Certificate Assistant can make (same as for the CA itself), i did not experiment with this override in my testing, other than to see that it brings up the very same Key Pair window as appears when creating a CA and creating a self-signed certificate. Unless the CA is insane and goes with a less secure key pair, there really is no point to using this. If the user chooses to do so anyway, the CA can look at the final cert. before sending it out to verify its settings, and refuse to email the finished cert. back to the user who sent in the CSR, if the CA disagrees with the user’s key override choices.
The usual Conclusion window is next, with a handy Show In Finder… button in case the user was not careful picking a location in the Save As… window, or for whatever reason cannot locate the new CSR file. Public and Private keys for the user are already generated and placed into the default (almost always: login) keychain. Now the user gets the CSR file to the CA via whatever means they choose.
The CA opens the received CSR. The Issuing Certificate Authority window opens in their copy of Certificate Assistant. This is one case where i found that Certificate Assistant did the correct thing with the defaults. You can always try the defaults then inspect the certificate carefully before emailing or otherwise getting it back to the user. Even though the CSR was delivered via a mechanism other than email, the CA’s Certificate Assistant will email the completed, signed certificate to the user who submitted the CSR, to the email address on the certificate. For Certificate Assistant 2.0 or later (OS 10.5 Leopard and later), this is done via Mail, so it is possible to cancel the outgoing email message before it is sent, if for some reason a non-email method of delivering the completed signed certificate to the user is desired. I’ve seen later versions (2.0+) of Certificate Assistant default to .pem format for certificates, so that’s the format i’d tend to choose for certificate export, lacking other information/concerns. Distribution to the user via secure file server, physical media exchange, or other method are all options. If the CA is not returning a signed email message and is instead using some other form of file transfer, they need to include their CA root certificate in the package in addition to the user’s new signed certificate.
Once the user obtains the signed certificate package from the CA, they will first need to install and/or trust the CA’s root certificate if it is not already properly installed in the user’s system. This will need to be done before the user’s newly signed certificate can be used. The user needs to trust the CA’s certificate using the usual methods.
With the CA’s certificate installed and trusted, the user will double-click their own (new) certificate and put it into their default (login) keychain.
Whichever method is used to generate end-user correspondents’ security credentials, they have the same need as you to ensure that they don’t lose them. Especially their private key, without which they cannot decrypt and read existing encrypted email messages sent to them!
Unless you have secure remote access to their system (in which case this whole credential-making procedure could be handled many different ways), you’ll need to count on them to follow the same steps as users of self-signed credentials do, discussed in the main article, to back them up. Or, make that long-overdue in-person visit and fix that garage light while you’re there!
I successfully tested the full process from CA invitation through installation and testing of a new user CA-signed certificate between each version of OS X from 10.4.11 Tiger through 10.8.3 Mountain Lion, in both directions (in other words: with each OS taking a turn as both CA and end user)—all 20 combinations. In all cases the process worked correctly.
Given the changes in security credential handling in Mail 10 for macOS 10.12 Sierra, i retested between it (as the CA) and OS 10.4.11 Tiger. Again, the process worked correctly. Presumably this “longest reach” test covers the intermediate OS and bundled software versions too.
I saw one case where Certificate Assistant 1.0 for Tiger could not open a Certificate Assistant 5.0 settings file. Yet when i tested this combination later, it worked fine. I did not thoroughly re-test (i need to get back to the rest of my life), but my suspicion is that the configuration file which could not be opened may have been due to that file being signed by the CA using the handy checkbox during CA setup.
Now, my understanding is imperfect. I thought that the checkbox during CA setup would not affect the configuration file itself, but only what happens in Mail such that the outgoing message is signed or not signed. I’ve seen a couple of configuration files with “garbage” in them before and after the properly formatted Property List content. I do not know whether this is intentional or a bug.
In my testing, if the configuration file from the CA is a clean Property List file with nothing preceding nor following the <?xml…>… </plist> content, it should work correctly.
Do not make a stand-alone self-signed S/MIME certificate for an OS X user who will also act as a CA.
Create the CA first, with a CA cert not including email security (this is forced upon users of Certificate Assistant 5.0 pre-Sierra due to its bugs). Do not send out any invitations at this point!.
Use the CA to create a leaf certificate for the CA user which is that user’s S/MIME secure email certificate.
Send out invitations which include both the configuration file and the CA’s root certificate. The CA’s signature will not be valid until that root certificate is trusted.
If the CA’s configuration file simply won’t work, have the user ignore it and use the Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority… command in their version of Certificate Assistant. I’ve not yet seen that fail to work.
Certificate serial numbers matter for your own CA-generated certificates—all of them, including the root CA certificate! Track them and do not duplicate them in any certificates issued by your CA. Failure to mind this point is likely to lead to failure of Certificate Assistant to successfully create or install some certificates. See the note near the page top for more.
There is a bizarre show-stopping bug with some versions of Certificate Assistant (2.0 for OS 10.5 Leopard, 3.0 for OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, 4.4 for OS 10.7 Lion, 5.0 for OS 10.11 El Capitan have all been confirmed): Usually only on the first run with a newly set up CA (esp. for Snow Leopard) when the CA runs the user’s CSR, the CA’s Certificate Assistant generates a spurious new pair of user keys on the CA’s system along with a certificate to match those keys—not the keys already (securely) generated on the user’s system by their Certificate Assistant. Sometimes Certificate Assistant presents an error message that the new user’s certificate cannot be placed into the keychain as it is a duplicate!
Delete the spurious user keys and user certificate from the CA’s default (usually: login) keychain. Note that in some cases there will not be a user certificate, if Certificate Assistant presented the duplicate certificate in keychain error. Be sure to check carefully!
If Certificate Assistant made it far enough to create the outgoing email message with the defective certificate, delete this message draft.
Re-run the CSR your user sent in, as if you were doing so for the first time.
This is a very difficult bug to reproduce! In my Snow Leopard testing, once Certificate Assistant for the CA starts working correctly, it continues to do so unless the whole OS X installation is blown away and installed fresh, or at least all user accounts on the Mac and existing CA-related email messages (on the email server[s]) are blown away AND caches are wiped out. Then on another day the first certificate of the session failed in this way even though it was an existing installation which had previously been working (but the workaround still worked). On 10.5 Leopard it happened with the second CSRequest. 10.7.5 Lion did this to me once under circumstances not in any way noticeably different than the other 3 times i did the (probably not literally) exact same thing with the very same CA installation with no problems whatsoever. Because of the difficulty testing it, i cannot guarantee that it is gone in newer OS X versions.
The good news is that, up through Yosemite, whenever this bug occurs, no matter what OS X version, the workaround described above (trashing the bogus cert. and keys and re-running the very same CSR a second time) has succeeded.
Not sure whether it’s chance or something related to OS 10.11 El Capitan, but i’ve found a reproducible case where the failure keeps going, even after trashing the spurious keys and certificates. What i’m finding so far is that a corrupted CA.certAuthorityConfig file triggers this bug, and likely other ones. To avoid problems, ensure that your CA’s config file is OK before issuing certificates.
You may use BBEdit, TextEdit, or any other app which will show you the raw text of the file.
Note that i forced a few line wraps in the corrupted example above, to prevent this page from trying to display too wide. The original is even messier! For presentation here, all kinds of control characters have been replaced with spaces. As well, email@domain.com is a placeholder for a legitimate (uncorrupted within itself) email address i do not wish to share here.
Anyone internal to Apple who may be reading this might consider checking out my bug on this issue, Radar #13665874.
I stumbled into a workaround by accident: When i added the CA self-signed root certificate to the list of certificates to be evaluated in Certificate Assistant, BOINK!—everything started working. Certificate Assistant now showed “Evaluation Status: Success” and Mail now happily accepted the new user certificate (after a fresh start of Mail).
Unfortunately, another time this happened (and i don’t recall which OS), Certificate Assistant temporarily showed that everything was fine when both the root and user certificates remained in its evaluation window, but after any sort of logout or restart or maybe even quitting Certificate Assistant, the failure returned.
I have not found a workaround/fix. This problem occurred when i failed to select “On this machine, trust certificates signed by this CA”, and attempted to trust later in the standard OS X user account, apparently triggering this failure.

For the past 10 hours, I’ve been struggling with PhoneGap Build’s iOS error “Certificate doesn’t match profile: The default keychain doesn’t have an identity matching”, but I have a solution!
My Mac’s OS is version 10.8.5, and my KeyChain is version 7. After following the instructions in the Be Your Own Certificate Authority article [this one —Sonic], I opened Apple’s Developer Console. I used Apple’s Console to create a Certificate and a Provisioning Profile. Finally, I created a p12 file using the Certificate I created following the instructions in the Be Your Own Certificate Authority article; please note, this final process was not a part of the instructions – but a process I picked up in the past from working on previous iOS apps.
The solution is to create your p12 file by using KeyChain to export the Certificate created by Apple’s Developer Console. KeyChain version 7 will display Apple’s Certificate with a warning/error message, stating “This certificate was signed by an unknown authority”. This can be ignored.
If you’re like me, when you saw this warning/error message, you used unnecessary caution, and created your p12 file by using KeyChain to export the Certificate created in the Be Your Own Certificate Authority article. Again, the caution is unnecessary.
As I had mentioned before, ignore the warning/error message “This certificate was signed by an unknown authority”. Create your p12 file using the Certificate you created in Apple’s Developer Console. PhoneGap Build will accept the p12 and Provisioning Profile created from the Developer Console Certificate. That’s it! I will be posting a much briefer version of this solution on PhoneGap Build’s forum only, since this situation originates in PhoneGap Build.
Tiger predates the Extended Key Usage Extension (EKUE), or at least Apple’s adoption of it. Any steps listed above that mention EKUE do not apply to Certificate Assistant 1.0 and Tiger. Note that in my testing so far, Tiger and its Mail 2 are fine and happy working with certificates created on other, newer systems which contain a properly executed EKUE.
With the exception of the initial CA invitation which is sent out via Mail, Cert. Asst. 1.0 for Tiger directly mails out notices, files, and credentials, rather than launching Mail and pre-filling out an outgoing email form.
The CA certificate is placed into the X509Anchors keychain by the end user. It does not need to be in the end user’s login keychain (only their own certificate and keys need to be there). The CA will need their CA certificate both in their login keychain (next to their key pair) and X509Anchors, in my testing (i did not try putting all CA credentials solely into the X509Anchors keychain).
Certificate Assistant 1 for Tiger does Not place a copy of a newly-signed user certificate in the CA’s own keychain. If the OS X user which is the CA is also going to exchange secure email messages with users for whom s/he has signed, they’ll need to receive a signed email from their user(s) and do the usual certificate trusting dance Tiger requires.
Before getting too involved working with 10.5 Leopard, remember that there’s a show-stopping crashing bug in Leopard Mail which prevents real-world usage of secure email in Leopard. If you just want to be a Certificate Authority in Leopard and will not be having back-and-forth secure email exchanges in Leopard Mail, you should be OK simply doing standard one-time CA transactions.
When creating a CA, the User Certificate Type is set on the second Certificate Assistant window, not the first as in later Certificate Assistant versions. This mirrors behavior of Certificate Assistant 2.0 when it makes self-signed certificates or any others. It is one of many slight evolutionary design changes Apple has made so far over the life of Certificate Assistant.
Some Certificate Assistant 2.0 Help files are out of sync with the reality of this version of Certificate Assistant/Leopard. One example is the Help section instructing the user to install the CA certificate into the X509Anchors keychain, which no longer exists (starting with Leopard). The correct answer is discussed in the next bullet item.
CA certificates are placed into the login keychain by the end user if the CA cert. is to only be available to that one account. To make the CA certificate available to all users of that machine, place the CA certificate into the System keychain.
Certificate Assistant 2.0 for Leopard directly mails out the CSR (rather than invoking Mail), asking to use the user’s existing SMTP information from their keychain to be able to do so. It seems to be a hybrid between Tiger’s Cert. Asst. 1.0 (which self-emails everything and never invokes Mail, other than the CA’s initial invitation) and later versions of Certificate Assistant (which use Mail exclusively for their email notices).
On the first run of Certificate Assistant acting as a Certificate Authority and signing its first CSR, the CA’s Certificate Assistant may spontaneously generate user keys in the CA’s keychain, along with a certificate to match these keys instead of the one’s on the user’s system who submitted the CSR. This can happen in other OS X versions, though in my testing only in Snow Leopard could i generate a reproducible case (with difficulty). Discussed in detail above.
Hard to make it work, hard to make it fail: a plethora of problems related to some sort of invisible/undocumented caching, making it extremely difficult to find reproducible cases for filing bug reports. And when it fails, it FAILS… fine for bug reports, but then try again weeks or months later on the identical installation, and BOINK!—it is working, for no sane reason. OSes 10.6 and earlier did not have this unpredictability issue.
When setting up a CA, any attempt to override defaults for the KUE for the CA will be ignored—including omitting the KUE for the CA—so the CA can’t sign its invitations. Feel encouraged to let Apple Know your thoughts on this matter (select Feedback Area: Applications/Utilities). People internal to Apple may wish to check Radar bug #13655645.
I have not (and likely will not) test this version as extensively as the earlier ones. The KUE bug above may be fixed: my one test making a CA with a KUE with Key Encipherment worked as expected.
Changes in the security infrastructure lead to a disconnect between system-wide trust and individual macOS user account trust: trusting a Certificate Authority’s self-signed certificate created by Certificate Assistant at the system level prevents individual macOS user accounts from being able to trust that very same certificate. I’ve found no workaround. Further, i found it impossible to remove the system-level certificate via the Mac GUI, even from the admin macOS account (which is the only place where i could even see the certificate in the System keychain). Do not accept Certificate Assistant’s kind and generous offer to have it have the OS trust the new certificate authority’s certificate for all users of this Mac! Instead, each user must trust the CA’s certificate individually, using the usual methods.
I have to wonder what happens when a Mac user has their OS X set up to use a Mail User Agent (MUA, a.k.a. email client software) other than Apple’s Mail (e.g. Thunderbird, Eudora, Lookout! Excess [Outlook Express] etc. etc.): will their Certificate Assistant successfully create outbound email messages in the alternate program? I’d hope so, but i’m not curious enough to actually set up this scenario and test it (i like Mail). Be wary of this point if you’re not using Mail.
To be precise, the X509Anchors keychain no longer exists in the user interface, due to being deprecated. I saw one still present in /System/Library/Keychains on 10.8.3 Mountain Lion. This series of articles is only concerned with the user experience and the GUI. | 2019-04-25T12:13:27 | https://siber-sonic.com/mac/MailSMIME/CA.html |

On Tuesday the court in Alkmaar handled a case of a father trying to force his 12-year-old son to be treated for his brain cancer. The case was filed by the father against the foundation for Youth- and Family Protectors, who is supervising the boy's treatment, ANP reports.
The 12-year-old boy from Noord-Holland underwent daily radiation treatments for six weeks late last year for a brain tumor. He was supposed to start chemotherapy in March. But the boy does not want to undergo chemotherapy. He made this clear to a psychiatrist, who declared that the boy was fit to make this decision.
The father doubts that conclusion. He does not believe that his child does not want to live anymore. He asked the family guardian to take the matter to court. And when the guardian refused, he filed a lawsuit himself. The father is divorced from the boy's mother, who from the start did not want the boy to undergo radiation and chemo but wanted to try alternative treatment. For this reason the boy's treatment was placed under supervision.
The summons states that doctors gave the boy a 50-50 chance of healing without further treatment. Should he undergo the follow-up treatment, his chance of survival is 75 to 80 percent. | 2019-04-18T11:24:17 | https://nltimes.nl/2017/04/26/desperate-father-asks-court-force-son-12-chemotherapy |

The earthy brightness of it! Mud work specimen on walls.
My love for colours, patterns and earthen objects always drew me to handicrafts, especially embroidery, mirror work, pottery and the likes. However, I am no expert and may still not be able to distinguish between machine-made products and handicrafts.
But for most of my years, I always saw handicrafts as cute little souvenirs. Something to put up in your home and discuss with friends, after a recent trip. And the pragmatic in me always questioned the money I spent on buying a handicraft, when a similar machine made design is available for half the price at the mall. I consoled myself thinking that I liked the imperfections that each hand made design would have. The snobbish value of a hand-crafted object appealed to me too. And my vanity took a boost when I thought I had contributed to the ‘poor’ artisans’ household income.
In those regards, our stint in Kuchchh was an eye opener. I understood the origin and transformation of handicrafts. For the first time I could appreciate the handicraft market not just from a consumer point-of-view. And now, I am without pity for the ‘poor’ artisans. I truly respect them.
It is interesting to understand that the articles which we term as handicrafts were actually utilities of the pre-industrialisation era. Before the mass produced printed fabric came in picture, clothes for daily wear and special occasions were stitched at home or within the community. Even the fabric was woven locally in most cases. My parents’ generation wore tailor-stitched clothes. As a kid I wore frocks, pinafore and sweater stitched and knitted by my mother, till the readymade clothes took over and fashion started changing every three months. Before the current use-and-throw invasion of consumerism, the quilts and their covers were up-cycled every few years using patchwork or appliqué. A faded kurti was dyed and zari border of an old sari was preserved to be used for a salwar kameez design.
This was when mass production hadn’t seeped into every aspect of our home. Knitting, Stitching, mud coating the chulha, milking the cows were skills not readily available in exchange of money. And thus an individual’s time wasn’t valued in the amount of money he/she can make. My mother and mother-in-law, both have specimens of their hand-embroidered cushions covers, bed sheets, kurtis etc. They had the time and the skill to do it. But they also had option to give money and get a machine produced product from market. The only option that our generation seems to have.
Now think about a village community a few generations before our parents. They didn’t have a go-to-market option. The clothes had to be stitched or knitted at home. ‘Market’ mostly meant local community and the skills were more or less bartered. The trade amongst various cities or even nations existed, but the machines were still to take over. In that scenario, each household knew how to make trappings for animals, do lipan to beautify the walls, produce embroidered cholis and kanchlis for wedding and have rogan printed skirts and sheets. There was a local blacksmith, goldsmith, even a lacquer worker to make wooden articles of daily use.
Old Rogan printed Duppata…its almost an antique!
Each article needs a lot of time to be completed. A rogan printed sari, for example, can take upto a month. But it was okay, since there was no necessity of change of wardrobe every year. And the clothes were up cycled. But if you talk in purely monetary sense of time’s worth, handicrafts will be expensive. So when machines came in picture, an artisan had no way to compete with the level of productions as well as prices. Most of them turned labours to work in these factories producing the homogenised standard versions of their cultural art.
Judy Frater, one of the founding members of Kala Raksha – a trust working towards preserving arts of Kutch – has many wonderful insights to share. She has been in India for over two decades and founded Kala Raksha Trust and later Kala Raksha Vidyalaya for preserving and promoting the cultural heritage theses arts stand for. One of the most annoying and deeply saddening things, according to her, is when the designers treat the artisans as mere labour. These designers take a traditional design, creating standard print pattern and then asking the artisans to fill up with embroidery; pretending they know more.
She, therefore, founded Kala Rakhsa Vidyalaya which is a design school of artisans. It’s a one-year course admitting only the traditional artisans, equipping them with design knowledge for today’s marketplace and enabling them to go on their own without the need of a designer. Kala Raksha and a lot of other organisations like Khamir, Qassab etc. are also taking the handicrafts direct from artisans to the consumers without a middle man.
This spells prosperity for small single household artisans, especially women, who can not match the production demand by vendors. Tourism today has also given a boost to the artisan’s income, with people being interested in the traditional hand crafted art instead of mass-produced ones. You can see a number of tourists at the house of artisans in Nirona village, especially for the rogan art.
Gafur Bhai’s family is the only family in the world to practice Rogan Art – an oil based free-hand painting of fabrics. The family already has two national awards to its name. They, however, are not happy with the lack of support from the government. They are entitled for support to participate in a certain number of international trade fairs every year, but the opportunities never come. Till such a time when the government starts enabling this participation, they would keep the trade secrets and the art within their family. Not everyone is unhappy though. The participation of Indian handicraft artisans in international trade fair has increased and this means opening up of new markets for them.
Even when the treatment and recognition of the handicraft artisans is improving, the fact remains that handicrafts have changed their forms with time. From utilities, now they are objects of collection – an art. It is good news that they still have a market, however niche. This ensures that the skill and tradition won’t die. But from being utility items of village community, handicrafts are now for the effluent class or foreign tourists who can afford to pay the price for something that require days to be made. Ironically, most of this effluent class are the industrialists.
Although it saddens me that these genuine everyday articles are becoming connoisseur items, I am glad that the traditions are preserved. Because when the time comes where the distribution system based on trucks (and hence oil) collapses, all we will be left with are the skills and craft or an opportunity to barter these skills. My mother will still be able to upcycle and produce clothing articles and so will these artisans. | 2019-04-26T04:42:19 | https://bohemiansnuffbumble.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/a-hand-crafted-tale-of-change/ |

A Tale of Two Cities | Beat Up Shaun With Delight!
Mumbai and Indore are the two cities that I’ve had the privilege to live in. The first, I was born and bred in, and the second I’m currently living in. While Mumbai is the big city where dreams come true, Indore is the small city where everybody loves everybody. Each of these cities has its own beauty, although I must confess I might be a little partial towards Mumbai, it being my home city.
I have constantly tried to resist giving in to the charms of Indore. I still continue to do so. Change has never been a welcome guest in my life. I hate change. Sometimes, even when I know it’s for the better. And so even with this change in my life going from a big city to a comparatively much smaller one, I did what any other change-hater would do. I started finding fault with everything that was Indorean. Looking back, I realize it was just a waste of time and energy but it did make me feel better at that time. But now finally after a very long time, I’d like to think I’ve come around. I wouldn’t say I’ve fallen in love with this city and I want to spend my entire life here. No. That would be stretching the truth well beyond its limits. But, yes, I have made peace with this city. I now truly enjoy eating the various delicacies that the city has to offer (I’m a self-confessed foodie!). The attitude and the lifestyle of the people here which always irked me earlier, now merely amuses me.
One thing I’d noticed on my arrival here was that Indoreans either hated Mumbai or they were too very in awe of the big city. As time passed, I realized this obsession with Mumbai was on a massive scale. It was common to find comparisons made between the two cities in newspapers and radio stations. Worse still, I saw that the ever-growing IT industry, the increasing number of malls and awareness among the youth, has set Indore well on the tracks to becoming another big city like Mumbai. My guess would be another 10-15 years and Indore shall be another metropolitan city of our country.
This thought saddens me to a huge extent because as much as I love Mumbai, it is no Indore. The beauty of Indore lies in its simplicity, the warm and caring nature of Indoreans, and the peaceful and contented lives led by them. Where else will you find complete strangers striking up a conversation on a city bus, people going out of their way to help you find your way back home?
I’m truly a Mumbaikar, in the sense, I like my privacy. I love travelling in BEST buses and in our locals in spite of all its maddening crowds (yes, I know how bad it can be. I’ve even ended up in tears in a certain Borivili local). I do not like it when someone tries to poke his/her nose in my life. In short, all of these qualities are typical Mumbaikar and very anti-Indorean. In Mumbai, people do not know each other’s names in spite of travelling together everyday, neighbours do not greet each other like one’s own family, and people mind their own business no matter what, which suits me just fine. But when I want a break from all the privately-guarded lives that we live over there, which place do you think I’d like to come visit? No prizes for guessing, it’s Indore.
According to me, it’ll truly be a sad day when Indore will no longer remain the place it used to be. I hope I won’t have to tell my kids that I used to live in a place like Indore at one time. Instead, I would love to bring my kids here to show them the beauty that this place is. On this hope, I’m going to say ciao.

cute and sweet are the only way i can describe this lekha. you’ve stated your geo-positioning qualms pretty well. love it!
aawh! true dis is ! 🙂 nd well written.
Indore! The place where I grew up, the city that has a special place in my heart; your write-up has made me nostalgic. Mumbai is my birth place as well (Navi-Mumbai to be specific). However my family shifted to Indore when I was just a baby, Mumbai (and Pune) remained my hometown. Thus I can quite relate to your article. Yes Indoreans are warm people, and the city has a charm. However I find even Mumbaikars quite helpful. And, talking about Indore – Mumbai connection, remember Avantika Express?
well work on that. thanks fr the feedback!

Homing endonucleases are nature’s genome editing system. They are site-specific DNA-cutting enzymes encoded in the genomes of many eukaryotic species. Homing endonucleases have the unusual ability to precisely recognize long DNA sequences (12-40 base pairs) that are typically rare enough to occur only once in a complex genome. These non-destructive enzymes trigger gene conversion events that modify the genome in a very precise way, most frequently by the insertion of a new DNA sequence. The ability to target a single DNA break in a complex genome and to achieve gene modification without random off-targeting makes homing endonucleases the ideal starting material for a therapeutic-grade genome editing technology.
The backbone of the ARCUS technology is the ARC nuclease – a fully synthetic enzyme similar to a homing endonuclease but significantly improved to be the starting point for the first therapeutic-grade genome editing platform. The ARC nuclease is small, has unparalleled specificity, and can be customized to recognize a DNA sequence within any target gene. ARC nucleases are created using a set of proprietary in silico and lab-based techniques to ensure maximum gene editing efficiency with minimum off-target activity. Importantly, ARC nucleases can be optimized to control potency and specificity based on the analysis of cutting activity in a relevant model organism.
What makes ARCUS unique in the world of genome editing?
Precision BioSciences owns ARCUS. Only a Precisioneer can make an ARCUS reagent.
ARCUS isn’t limited to deletions. ARCUS can be used to insert, delete or edit DNA.
ARCUS doesn’t miss its target. ARCUS doesn’t generate truly random DNA-breaks.
310 amino acids. 930 base pairs. ARCUS is compatible with essentially any delivery strategy.
Polypeptide. ARCUS is a single protein expressed from a single gene. There’s no need to deliver multiple parts.
Matched 4 base pair 3′ overhangs result in perfect, predictable removal of DNA. | 2019-04-20T14:48:19 | http://precisionbiosciences.com/our-approach/arcus-genome-editing/ |
My friend (and blog designer extraordinaire) Jason McCarty posted this picture on his Facebook page a few days ago, and something about it caught my attention. What’s up with the dude in the suit accosting that innocent woman trying to run a race? I had to read the caption.
However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.
Things like this snag my attention now that I have two daughters. One of them is in her bunk reading. The other is trying to sneak toys in under her covers. But some day they will make the connection between who they are and what they want to do, and when that day comes I will do everything in my power to help them be whatever it is.
I wonder if their race will be hindered by men trying to tear off their numbers in one form or another.
I hope my girls will have the perseverance to keep going.
And, should it prove necessary, I hope that other men and women will form a protective circle around my two little girls and help them run the race they set out to run.
There are some great discussions going on in the interwebs about this topic. For starters, check out Ed Cyzewski’s series, “Women in Ministry” or Pam Hogeweide’s book, Unladylike: Resisting the Injustice of Inequality in the Church.
Upcoming projects include Tamara Lunardo’s What a Woman is Worth and Rachel Held Evans’ A Year of Biblical Womanhood.
Friends and I were just discussing the one important thing we learned from our parents and my sister said she remembers our dad saying we could be anything we wanted to be in life. I’m not a parent but I think that’s one of the most important lessons you can teach your kids – especially daughters. Good job!
I remember hearing that story when I watched a documentary about marathoners. Absolutely blew my mind because, really? Women couldn’t even run with men???
That said, because of so many advances that have been made in the area of women’s rights, it’s been easy for me to sit back and not continue to push. As I’ve been seeing serious push-back against rights already granted and battening down the hatches for rights not yet given, it’s made me much more aware of my small part in the continued pursuance of equality.
Powerful story. I had never heard of this incident. The picture is very prominent and when you explained what was occurring it made it even more poignant.
I want my daughter to be anything God wants her to do and be. I don’t want anything holding her back. I want to do whatever I can to be her biggest supporter and cheerleader. I want her to keep her faith and persevere despite the setbacks and struggles that will inevitably happen.
Shawn, it’s like you’re just trying to push my buttons here. So, yeah. Women run. And we kick some bootay. Recently a woman runner ran a world record time, but race officials said that because she was running with a man, it was a coed race, she had an advantage. Therefore, no record for her. So here, we see women are now “allowed” to run, but dammit if they’re going to do it as well as men.
Secondly, sometimes, it’s women who hold other women back, and that is quite sad.
Third, your daughters are blessed by your fierce love.
Finally, I promise to be a woman who comes along side, all of our daughters (and sons) to make a place where we are more than our parts. You go, Shawn.
Why do we insist on holding each other back? I just don’t understand. Thanks for your comment, Jen.
Thank you for this good word, Shawn. You’ve already positioned yourself in that protective circle and your girls will need it and appreciate it. I pray that by the time they are old enough to prayerfully consider the option of church-running, it will no longer be a contentious issue. But to be honest, I don’t have a whole lotta hope these days.
Good stuff, as always. I love how well you know your audience.
With all due respect Katie, a place where you cannot be who you want to be doesn’t sound like a safe place to me. But I’m so glad you had the courage to leave, and I’m even more glad to have met you last week.
Wow, I have never heard this story before. I have run a few triatholon’s before where there are too many people to start the race all together. So they start 4 different groups of Men heats two minutes apart followed by 4 different Women heats. Both times I was passed by a few women when I was on the run segment. I know some of these ladies were elite athletes but I think I learned that women can sometimes kick men’s butts (and also that I need to have a better training program).
I grew up in a church that literally split because of that statement. And from what I hear from my parents, that debate is back on the table and I wonder if it will lead to healing, or yet another split. It has a lot to do with why I no longer attend that church.
“Secondly, sometimes, it’s women who hold other women back, and that is quite sad.
Finally, I promise to be a woman who comes along side, all of our daughters (and sons) to make a place where we are more than our parts.” Especially that last one. I promise to be a woman who comes along side, all of our daughters (and sons) to make a place where we are more than our parts – because I, as a mentor to some, want to be that person in their lives. Making a way for them.
Applause to you my friend.
What a powerful image. It’s amazing just how far we’ve come in some things and how far we’ve haven’t in others. In college, I opened a world of trouble with the Campus Crusade group. Year after year I watched as my male friends took over the role of president, and so many deserving women were passed over just because the leadership group didn’t see it as “biblical.’ I have a big mouth, and it lost me a lot of friends in that group. But those years were scarring. And the whole thing made me feel like trash just because of my gender.
I have a seven-year-old sister, and I’ll join you in that fight, Shawn. Thanks so much for this.
The obvious hero in the lady runner. Gutsy.
The unsung heroes are those awesome guys stepping in, who knew she should be allowed to run!
Thanks for being one of those guys, Shawn.
Love this story… including how Katherine scored a race number for the event. In some other marathons around that time, some women ran as ‘bandits’ … meaning they didn’t even try to register for the event because women weren’t allowed to, but they joined the runners after the start line and got off the course before the finish line, so they got to run a marathon, but they had to document to prove they did.
Katherine wanted to be an official registered runner for the Boston Marathon, so she registered as K. Switzer and the race director naturally assumed it was a man registering (after all, women can’t run marathons) so she got a bib number.
Having a daughter (who just turned 13) has made me realize in how many areas I have let myself be held back. If she became a pastor, I would be so proud. | 2019-04-19T08:44:39 | http://shawnsmucker.com/2012/03/4472/ |
DETROIT (Reuters) - Ratings agency Moody's Investors Service may raise Ford Motor Co's <F.N> corporate credit rating now that the company and the United Auto Workers union have reached a tentative four-year contract, Moody's said on Wednesday.
Moody's is considering raising Ford's current rating of Ba2 two notches below investment grade.
"Our initial assessment of the proposed UAW contract is that it should enable Ford to maintain its operating flexibility, fixed cost position, break-even point, and liquidity position near current levels," Moody's said in a statement.
Moody's said that if the contract was ratified and if initial assessments were maintained, Ford could get a higher upgrade.
"Ford has built a much stronger operating model and financial profile during the past year," said Bruce Clark, senior vice president at Moody's. "We want to determine if it can maintain this position if markets conditions become more difficult."
Returning to investment grade rating has been a goal for Ford executives since the company borrowed $23 billion for restructuring in 2006.
Credit rating agencies, including Moody's, cut Ford's credit rating to non-investment grade in 2005.
Last week, ratings agency Standard & Poor's raised the rating for Ford's cross-town rival, General Motors Co <GM.N>, by two notches to BB+ from BB-. The rating left GM one notch below investment grade. GM fell into non-investment grade in 2005.
Ford and the UAW said on Tuesday that they had reached a tentative deal that each said would allow Ford to remain competitive on labor costs in the United States.
The UAW said the ratification vote was expected to be completed by October 16.
In January, Moody's changed its outlook for Ford to "positive" from "stable." An improved credit rating will make it cheaper for the company to borrow money.
Auto sales in September, reported this week, were the strongest in a half year, indicating that a gradual recovery in the industry was under way.
Ford's shares closed up 4.7 percent at $10.55 on Wednesday. | 2019-04-19T02:47:09 | https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/moodys-may-upgrade-ford-motors-credit-rating |

Why shouldn’t I just marry a US citizen just for the green card since it’s probably the easiest way to get one, and I’ve heard that others have done this successfully?
Q: I’ve heard that a marriage-based green card case is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to get a green card. Why shouldn’t I just marry a US citizen just for the green card?
A: Aside from the obvious moral and legal problems with doing this, there are many valid practical reasons why it’s simply a really, really bad idea.
The ethical problems are fairly obvious; most will understand this intuitively, and if not it’s beyond the scope of this web site to teach morality. Therefore, we won’t dwell on the ethical problems here.
The consequences of getting caught are severe - USCIS will most likely aggressively pursue removal proceedings against the foreign national, and that person may find it virtually impossible to ever attain a legal status in the U.S. Criminal charges against the US citizen - especially where payment was received - are a real possibility as well. Really, they can file the same charges again both the US citizen and foreign national: this is a felony offense which carries a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000.
As a practical issue, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is extremely skilled at detecting fake marriages, so the chances of success are actually very low - no matter what you may have heard from friends-of-friends who have done this successfully (and let’s face it – those who have been caught aren’t going to talk about it…if they’re even in the US to do so). The officers who conduct interviews for these cases generally spend most of their time conducting exactly this kind of interview….and each likely conducts dozens of such interviews every week.
We’re in an age where the government is increasingly checking social media as well as various databases – you won’t know exactly what the government might know, and from where they may have learned it.
Further, being married to someone you don't actually wish to be married to is a recipe for disaster. The commitment involved is significant – not only from time of marriage through to interview, but much further into the future if you pursue a joint filing to remove the conditional [probationary] status of the green card two years later…a process which can take well over a year in itself. | 2019-04-18T12:37:47 | http://www.reichvisa.net/drupal/WhyNotAFakeMarriage |
The Board of Regents for the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges was created on July 11, 1944, by Section 31a, Article 6, of the Oklahoma Constitution.
The Board has the supervision, management and control of five institutions, including Connors State College, Langston University, Northeastern Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, Oklahoma Panhandle State University, and Oklahoma State University and its constituent agencies which include the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Agricultural Extension Division, Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology-Okmulgee, the Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, and Oklahoma State University-Tulsa.
The Board, also referred to as the OSU/A&M Board of Regents, consists of nine members, one of whom is the President of the State Board of Agriculture. The remaining eight members are appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Except for the President of the State Board of Agriculture, Board members are appointed for eight-year terms to numbered positions on the Board representing Congressional Districts One through Five and three at-large appointments.
The Board's powers to govern are constitutional and include, but are not limited to, those enumerated in Title 70, Oklahoma Statutes, Section 3412, and other laws and judicial decisions of the State of Oklahoma.
Its functions are legislative in the establishing of all general policies affecting the institutions it governs, their relation one to another, and the prescribing of such rules and regulations as may bring these policies into effect. Its judicial functions are limited to acting as a court of final settlement for matters that cannot be satisfactorily adjusted by the presidents of the colleges. Its executive power is delegated in most instances to the presidents of the institutions and their authorized administrators. | 2019-04-20T08:30:07 | https://regents.okstate.edu/board-regents |
For all UK students you should now use the New A-level guides below.
At the bottom of the page I have left the old syllabus notes as I think they are more useful for the international EDXCEL A-level Chemistry course. They were not written for the international course though.
The revision guides are in syllabus order. There are no modules.
Here are the Edexcel revision guides. Mod 1+ 2 are AS, Mod 4+ 5 A2.
thank you so much for your good effort to making these notes supper learning material.!!!!
Thanks a lot for the Amazing Notes!
THANKS BEST NOTES I HAVE COME ACROSS IN A WHILE !!
Very impressive! Keep up the brilliant work!
I am from Bangladesh & the exam is of Edexcel syllabus. Should I follow the first content list ones OR the second content list(old syllabus) ones? And, will following one of this list cover everything from AS & A2 exam, as just a revision guide ofcourse?
If possible, can you tell me what things should an A’level student, like me, do to get an A* probably?
I didn’t write these guides for the international edexcel syllabus. It looks to me like the international follows fairly closely to old syllabus. The best thing for you to do is go through the syllabus and use the bits of the notes that are useful.
You should follow the old one (module 1 and module 2). I am studying this under my chemistry teacher and they are good notes. Arranged.
It is fine to make a link to the website but not to download the files to be placed on another site.
This notes are so useful! keep posting notes like this!
hi, great notes must say, although im confused.i’m sitting for the AS level International A level exams this year, so what syllabus is relevant to me: the old one or the new one? also if not relevant, where can i find something relevant if you had an idea.
These are not written for the international A-levels but there will be overlap with them.
I wrote the edexcel guides looking at the UK syllabus. I have not looked at all at the international A-level so I really don’t know how useful they are.
Im doing my IAL chemistry A2 exams on may, can u pleaze should i study from the old syllabus or the new one. I also have to tell that your notes really helped me get through the jan exams. Thank u soooo much for the notes.
2) “delta S” = 25 J K-1 mol-1 – should this be “delta Ssystem” ?
which is x10 bigger than your value. Am I doing something wrong here?
Using my figure for delta Ssystem I get a feasible temp of 809K – which makes sense to me in terms of possible temps attained in a car engine to produce NO pollution. Your value of T > 7200K seems super high!
some formatting has been stripped from post above so now doesn’t make much sense!
Yes the first two points are typo’s and I will update soon. Your 3rd point is not correct though. I had to look back to where I got the information from. It’s Jan 11 AQA module 5. The entropy values you are using for N2 and O2 are per atom of N and O so they need to be doubled. I found the values you are using in the Nuffield Data book and they are quoted per atom. 223 did seem a big number for a reaction of 2 moles of gas changing to 2 moles of gas.
bottom of page 2 you write: “The same effect will happen to a lesser extent with metals going up the group as the solubility decreases.” when explaining the effect of the sulphate produced coating the metal.
I think it should read “…going up the group as solubility *increases*” – since the ‘coating effect’ would be less-and-less apparent as the sulphate ions would be dissolved going up the group.
Top quality notes. You light up my life.
Thank you so much for all these wonderful resources. Just a suggestion, I would be extremely grateful to have just a complied list of all the chemistry definitions specific to this exam board. I hope I don’t sound too greedy!
I’m glad you like but I am now working on the new syllabus guides so won’t be uploading new resources for a while.
You have made life so easy for a lot of people – young and old, teachers and pupils. I am in my 70,s and still teaching. I directed a pupil who was having difficulty to your website and he did so well he came and thanked me after he got his results. He thanked the wrong person. He should have thanked you.
Most pupils don’t know how to revise and your concise notes help them. My current group of students whom I am tutoring are finding them very useful as well. If they do well you will get a big thank you from them. I will make sure of it. | 2019-04-23T07:08:28 | https://chemrevise.org/3-edexcel-revision-guides/ |

Wondering what the best things to do in Leuven are? This post is your full guide to the capital of Flemish Brabant!
Because KU Leuven is one of the oldest Catholic and European universities, Leuven has become known has a real student city. However, there’s much more to Leuven, and it’s perfect for a city break or even just a day trip from Brussels. Culture, museums, fantastic shopping, trendy eateries, historic buildings, relaxing parks, and more… there’s so much to see and do!
It has all the advantages of a big city, but with its village atmosphere it is a lot nicer. Check out this guide on what to do in Leuven!
If you fly to Belgium, the closest airport is in Brussels. You can transfer over to the train station or you can book this airport transfer straight to Leuven.
Leuven is very easy to get to by train. Head to Brussels-Zuid Station and then change to a local train, which will take you to Leuven in about 25 minutes.
Leuven’s actual historic center has been car-free for tourists since 2016. Parking is cheapest around the car parks on the edge of the city. With a P+ Bus parking formula, you can even take a bus to the center and back, free of charge. You can also park near the city center, but you have to have a parking disc or buy a ticket at the nearest meter. For more info, check here.
The Town Hall, a 15th century late Gothic building, can be found on the Grote Markt. The beautiful façade is very detailed and features 236 images of people who once were important to the city.
The Park Abbey, once one of the most important abbeys in the Netherlands, is the best preserved abbey in Belgium. It’s still inhabited by Norbertines and radiates authenticity and peace. Other monasteries in the city are the 19th century Benedictine Abbey, Keizersberg Abbey, and Saint Gertrude Abbey.
The Oude Markt is known as “the longest bar in Europe.” It is a square full of cafés, bars, and other catering establishments. This is the place where everyone in Leuven meets in the evening. It goes without saying that this is where the thousands of students from Leuven go.
The Grand Beguinage of Leuven is just outside the center. The streets are full of colorful 13th century beguines are fun to stroll through. With 300 dwellings spread over approximately three hectares, the Leuven Groot Begijnhof is one of the largest in Flanders. The squares, bridges, narrow streets, and the Dyle ensure that this district is just a village in the city.
A visit to the neoclassical University Library and climbing the library tower is a must. On each floor you learn more about the history of the building and the city. The reading room is really beautiful and a photographic exhibition completes it. You can visit the building with an audio guide. On the top floor you will of course be rewarded with a fantastic view over the city.
In addition to the City Hall, you will also find the late gothic St. Peter’s Church on the Grote Markt. The church is more than a thousand years old, houses a number of impressive and well-known works of art, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
St. Michael’s Church is made of white sandstone and ironstone. The church has a beautiful façade that gives the impression of an altar outside, iconic columns, and a large domed roof. Like almost everywhere in Flanders, there are, of course, many other churches worth to visit.
The M-Museum brings together old and new in an impressive way through historic buildings that are integrated with contemporary architecture. The museum has temporary exhibitions where both contemporary art are presented as well as works of old masters. There’s also a permanent collection of art from the region of the Middle Ages to the 19th century. When you visit this museum, do not forget the beautiful courtyard and the roof terrace!
Museum Park Abbey, or PARCUM, is a dialogue museum with temporary exhibitions that combine religion, art, and culture. A large part of the collections includes never-before-seen heritage from abbeys, churches, and monasteries. The focus is on the relationships between different religions, young and old, contemporary themes and historical heritage, and believers and non-believers.
The most popular and well-known shopping street is Diestestraat. Here you will find the more well-known shops and various trinkets.
You should also go for a stroll around the Bondgenotenlaan, Muntstraat, Tiensestraat, Oude Markt, Vismarkt, Parijsstraat, Mechelsestraat, Naamsestraat, and Brusselsestraat. There are plenty of shops everywhere that go from big chains to unique boutiques.
Haute dogs instead of hot dogs. Yes, you read that correctly. This hot dog bar in Leuven is fantastic. The industrial interior and the special combinations made the innovative concept a success. The big eaters among us can always opt for an XL version of their Greek dog, Caesar dog, Chili dog or one of the many other options!
The name says it all: Koffie en Staal combines good coffee and design. The furniture is designed and made under the name NONO. The coffee and the homemade pastries are fantastic. It stands for quality, sustainability and fresh products.
Who has not heard of the Hawaiian food trend the poke bowl? Sticks and Bowls was the very first poké bowl restaurant in Belgium! You can opt for traditional fish, chicken, or tempeh combined in many different ways. Don’t want a bowl? Try it in a burrito instead!
Scandinavian and local brands, good coffee, good food, books and minimalistic design: Thelma Coffee and Design is the concept store. The motto? Shop, eat, drink, repeat. Sounds good, right? There is hammered on fair trade, sustainability, exclusivity and affordability and everything in the store is for sale.
In this restaurant, you’ll find fantastic Mexican food. Their fajitas, tacos, and burritos are really to die for . The interior is decorated in such a way that you really feel like in South America and the prices are excellent. You do not have to expect a fancy dinner, but La Cucaracha is a household name in Leuven and I advise you to book in advance.
This concept store started in December 2016 as a pop-up, but it was so successful that there is now a regular Plek store. At Plek, you can shop, taste, and make. You can find affordable and honest design. In the DIY corner, get started with the puzzling of interior packages, and you can enjoy a break in the cozy coffee corner.
Bar Stan once received the prize for “best newcomer” in Leuven and is known for its Sunday brunches, good breakfast, lunch, coffee, and even dinner. The cozy interior gives the feeling of a living room in the city.
Balls & Glory have branches in Leuven, Antwerp, Ghent, and Brussels. Every day there are other versions of their homemade meatballs on the menu. You can choose from different types (pig, chicken, veggie) balls with typical “stoemp” or salad. You can also choose between fillings such as broccoli and parmesan, three cheeses, mushroom and truffle, bearnaise, tikki masala, etc. The prices are fair, and you do not have to wait long.
Mok, a traditional coffee roasting company that supplies various concept stores in the city and also has a super nice bar (Diestsestraat 165).
The Ibis Budget Leuven Centrum is located opposite the Leuven Train Station. With free Wi-Fi, basic but neat and soundproof rooms and an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, the hotel offers everything you need. Check the latest prices and availability here!
The cozy Cube Hostel is situated in the center of the city and is only a few minutes walk from the Oude Markt and St. Peter’s Church. In addition to free Wi-Fi, the hotel also has a games and movie room and a lounge with library. Check the latest prices and availability here!
The 16 e century Martin’s Klooster is less than 300 meters from the Old Market. The interior is cozy and quiet, there is free Wi-Fi, a winter garden, and a fantastic continental and American breakfast buffet. Check the latest prices and availability here!
Tip: With the ILUVLeuven Ticket you can visit some highlights more economically. More information can be found here .
What are your best tips for Leuven?
For accommodation, I always check Airbnb or Booking.com for the best prices.
If your insurance at home doesn’t cover travel, you may want to look into SafetyWing for an affordable option.
I always recommend checking Get Your Guide for the best tours in Europe.

If you have a car that doesn’t have a backup sensor built-in, we’re about to show you an awesome new accessory that’s going to change your life. It’s called the FenSens Smart Wireless Parking Sensor and it’s incredible. It installs in minutes in place of the regular old license plate from on the front and/or back of your car, and it’s battery powered so there are no wires or anything else to install. If you can handle four screws, you can install this accessory. Then if connects to an app on your phone and works just like a built-in backup sensor, showing you a graphic and beeping as you get closer to any objects. We’ve tested it and it works perfectly — the only thing to be aware of is that you need to check the license plate laws in your state because this frame might cover enough of your plate to get you a ticket. | 2019-04-22T02:02:49 | https://bgr.com/2018/11/08/backup-sensor-for-any-car-on-amazon/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheBoyGeniusReport+%28BGR+%7C+Boy+Genius+Report%29 |
Today I am here with a review of a product from a Japanese brand, Miniso. My first encounter with Miniso was way back in 2015. From then I am using their products on and off. Recently I got quite a few goodies from the brand and being a Miniso Japan fan, I am excited beyond words. Miniso has recently opened their store in Avani Riverside Mall, Howrah, just few minutes from Kolkata, so great news for people who love cute and quirky stuff. You can click the link HERE to see the best products to buy from Miniso Howrah.
Coming back to today’s post, today on our review table we have Miniso Lemon Scrub. This is a long pending post and I have actually finished the tube a few months back. So without wasting any time, lets get into the nitty gritty details.
Most of their ‘claims’ are written in Japanese and a little in Chinese. What I could decipher is that it is jam packed with lemon essence with other vital ingredients that gives you clear, glowing skin by scrubbing off dead skin without ripping off the essential moisture.
10RMB, equivalent to 100INR approx.
The product comes in a no-fuss plastic squeeze-tube with a flip-flop cap. The top shuts well so there is no fear of leakage even during travel.
The scrub is a clear jelly devoid of any granules. It has a silky texture and you will be able to feel that once you start spreading it over the skin.
Squeeze 1-2 pea-sized amount of the scrub on your palm and dot it over your face and neck.
Start massaging the product gently with your fingers, spreading it uniformly all over your face and neck.
Within a few seconds you will see white particles crumbling over your skin; those are your dead skin.
Wash with plain water and pat dry.
Do a patch test before using it on your face.
Start with small quantity and increase only if truly required. But don’t exceed 2 pea-sized amounts.
Don’t use on the skin around eyes.
This will give a mild tingling sensation. Stop using it you find it uncomfortable.
Don’t keep it on your skin over 2-3 minutes.
The first time I squeezed this product out of the tube, I got disappointed. There were no granules and I always thought that scrubs are meant to have tiny granules to exfoliate well. How come this will even work on someone’s skin? I tagged it as a bad buy and with zero hope I started applying it on my face. Within a few seconds white tissue like particles started coming off on the surface of my skin. It was tingling as well. I literally got frightened thinking that the product has gone bad and I have used a stale thing on my face. I washed off immediately fearing reactions. But oh my God, my skin felt so soft. That’s when I took time and actually read the directions of use and then laughed so hard at my own stupidity.
Anyway, from then onward I had enjoyed using this product quite a bit. I used it only once a week and felt that was enough. You can use the scrub twice a week at max.
Though I didn’t notice any change in the appearance of the blackheads, but overall my skin felt incredibly soft and smooth after each use. Sometimes I did feel the need of some added hydration after using it, but it is nothing that a gentle moisturizer couldn’t fix.
Overall, it is a decent product and does its job nicely. It never caused any irritation or broke me out. At such an affordable price, this is indeed a steal.
It's been ages since I've used something like this!
Boscia has a product like this and I swear that it’s just the product pilling on itself.. not actual skin! Do you think yours is really the skin being exfoliated?
I've never tried chemical exfoliators! This sounds cool, but a little scary too. I've never tried any overseas skin care products. I want to change that.
Interesting products. There aren't any Asian markets near me to go look.
I prefer acid type exfoliation over granules. I would like this one!
Thats so interesting I've never seen a clear on like that either!
I would expect a scrub to have granules too. My skin does so much better with natural exfoliators. | 2019-04-18T20:47:26 | https://www.deckanddine.com/2018/11/miniso-lemon-scrub-review.html |
BOTAS presents exciting news hot off the press: the production of botas 66 - LIMITED EDITION shoes, which are co-created by art world celebrities.
The construction base of the botas 66 limited edition is formed by the botas classic 66 shoes, which have won many design awards, and it is up to the artists to create their own original design for the given model. The models designed this way are produced in a limited quantity of hundreds of pairs.
The pilot group of four models consists of the extravagant TOXIQUE model, two models of BOTY HRŮZY [Horror’s Shoes] and the GAMBRINUS XCLNT.
The TOXIQUE model was designed by the popular Czech moderator and singer KLÁRA VYTISKOVÁ in cooperation with her band TOXIQUE and the NAJBRT design studio, which is responsible for the band’s artistic image. A limited quantity of 400 pairs has been produced and the shoes will be exhibited for the first time in Prague at DESIGNBLOK from October 5 - 10, 2010, where it will also be possible to purchase them.
The next 2 models, with the mischievous name of BOTY HRŮZY [Horror’s Shoes], were created in cooperation with the lead singer of the musical band KAPELA HRŮZY [Band of Horror] - MICHAL HRŮZA. Two hundred pairs of each model have been produced and Michal Hrůza’s new CD “NAPOŘÁD” [Forever] is bundled with each purchase as a bonus gift.
The last model - GAMBRINUS XCLNT - was created in cooperation with the GAMBRINUS brewery as a combination of two traditional Czech brands, BOTAS and GAMBRINUS, on the occasion of the market launch of the 11° Gambrinus Excellent beer in 0.3 liter bottles. The model is decorated in the brewery’s traditional colors and the sole features the GAMBRINUS logo.
Starting in October all of these models will be available at the botas e-shop, at the 66gallery BOTAS CONCEPT STORE on Konviktská 30, Prague 1. | 2019-04-22T06:22:59 | https://www.botas.cz/en/botas-limited-edition |

Andrew “bunnie” Huang, whom we’ve discussed before for his book on Xbox hacking and development of the Chumby, has made an interesting blog post about problems he’s found with Kingston microSD cards. He first encountered a batch of bad cards during production of the ChumbyOne, and found Kingston initially unhelpful when trying to get them replaced. After noticing some unusual markings on the chips, he decided to investigate for himself, comparing the ID data and dissolving the cards’ casings with nitric acid to take a look inside. He found that each of his Kingston-branded samples actually had a Toshiba/SanDisk memory chip inside, and that the batch of low-quality cards he received may not be as uncommon as he thought. | 2019-04-19T12:55:27 | https://jetlib.com/news/2010/02/16/quality-concerns-for-kingston-microsd-cards/ |

Genesis 5:21-24 says “and Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. after he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
"To walk with God" is the biblical expression for fellowship and obedience that results in His divine favor. The scripture says that Enoch developed a walk so close with God that he did not see death… but was transported into the very presence of God.
Having a relationship with God is not about doing what is convenient...but being able to move in the same direction with God.
In this message, Pastor Randy Morrison discusses our relationship with God and how to walk with God like Enoch walked with God. | 2019-04-23T18:35:32 | https://stwci.donorshops.com/product/ROM82414MP3/pastor-randy-morrison-82414 |
Rather appropriately, as I am now on the last ‘lap’ of choosing artworks for the sporting exhibition (cue name change of exhibition to Playing for Scotland: the Making of Modern Sport), it is now time for the sport of athletics to relay the baton and reveal the story of Scots whose names live on today as giants (literally giants) of the sport and its associated disciplines.
Let’s start with Donald Dinnie (1837-1916), the first sporting superstar, seen here above. Dinnie, from Aberdeenshire, enjoyed the most successful athletics career of the nineteenth century. Over a period of sixty years as a professional athlete, at home and abroad, he ran, hurdled, lifted, jumped, vaulted, threw, boxed and wrestled his way t0 around 10,000 victories. He once won twenty prizes in one day at a Highland Games. We are hoping to borrow from Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums a pine sculpture of Dinnie, swathed in his medals, to show in the exhibition, which will be on display when the Scottish National Portrait Gallery reopens its doors again in November 2011.
Then we have William Bankier (above; 1870-1949) also from Aberdeenshire (forget Scott’s Porage Oats, there must be something in this Aberdeen Angus Beef). Bankier was known as Apollo: The Scottish Hercules and became the ultimate strongman. In 1900 he wrote about athletic conditioning in his book Ideal Physical Culture, in which he professed: “a cold water bath immediately after getting out of bed is a capital tonic….it must, however, be taken in a common-sense way, and modified to the constitution and state of health of the bather” (Bankier’s advice came 104 years too late for Robert Burns).
Launceston Elliot (1874-1930, flexing to the left) completes this trio of Scottish strongmen. Elliot was Britain’s first Olympic gold medal winner – he weightlifted his way to glory in the first modern Olympic Games of 1896 in Athens, in the one-handed lifting event. The visual imagery associated with these three athletes is extraordinary and I hope to reveal a small part of it within Playing for Scotland. I think I can safely say that there has never been a lineup like it in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery – no Desperate Dan in sight and it won’t be for one night only!
Phwoar! Talk about Hotties from History!

Discussion in 'WIP (Work in Progress)' started by Nutomic, Feb 7, 2009.
I want to present you my map ctf_rockpike, a symetrical capture the flag map in a rocky environment.
There are three ways to the enemy intel: 1. Going direct way, but you're a good target for snipers there, through a cave between the bases, or through a gangway next to the bases.
Here you can download it from my homepage.
I think it looks great, but I have to say that the middle point looks a bit barren, but its nothing big, everything else seems fine to me .
- That third screenshot of BLU's base could use some more stuff happening on the wall. It looks very empty. Maybe some logos or such.
- What is a rockpike doing inside and why does it have intelligence on it? | 2019-04-25T20:17:03 | https://tf2maps.net/threads/ctf_rockpike.5248/ |
A man has been arrested in connection with the abandonment of a mistreated dog which had to be put down.
Officers were called out to a roundabout near to Wester Inch and Tesco on Blackburn Road, Bathgate, during the early hours of Monday, 3 September.
The dog, which was alone and could barely walk, was found severely malnourished with its ribs visible and had cuts and untreated abscesses on its body. | 2019-04-23T08:01:17 | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/man-arrested-for-mistreatment-of-dog-found-abandoned-in-bathgate-1-4817322 |
