New safety data expose potential weakness as Pfizer's abrocitinib takes on Dupixent in eczema
Last September, when Pfizer celebrated positive data from a second Phase III study of abrocitinib, many watchers applauded the efficacy but were still waiting to see whether the JAK1 inhibitor is “safe enough to be a formidable competitor to Dupixent,” the clear leader in the atopic dermatitis field. The full slate of safety data are now out and, according to one analyst, the answer is: probably not.

Agartala , Sep 19, 2023, ENEWSTIME Desk
People's confidence in Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership is remarkably increasing.
This high level trust is reflected in Tripura also as voters are leaving other political parties to join the BJP in the State, said Chief Minister of Tripura, Dr Manik Saha in Rajnagar under South District on Tuesday.
Dr Saha was addressing Karyakartas of 34-Rajnagar Mandal under Belonia Sub-division during an organizational and joining programme held at Vivekananda Craft & Cultural Centre.
Dr. Saha extended a warm welcome to approximately 700 opposition voters from 203 families who officially joined the BJP during the event.
Referring to the growing people's growing trust on BJP, the Chief Minister said, "We always follow the principle of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas' and 'Sabka Prayaas’."
Regarding the sanctity of the Assembly, Dr. Saha said, "We take every election seriously. If attending a door-to-door program benefits our party, then where is the problem? Only the BJP can put an end to unruly behavior, as witnessed during the CPIM and Congress rule in the past."
Dr. Saha pointed out that wherever the CPIM had governed, people had experienced suffering and witnessed unruly behavior. He emphasized that Tripura has now moved beyond such situations under the current government's dedication to development and transparency.
“I pursued my studies in Lucknow but never saw common people suffer during elections. However, we witnessed it in Tripura and West Bengal during the CPIM's tenure. Now, this government is dedicated to development, and peace prevails everywhere. Our government operates with transparency. Running a corrupt government is impossible as long as Modi is PM,” Dr. Saha asserted.
Highlighting the importance of booth-level Karyakartas, Dr. Saha underscored the pivotal role of Pristhapramukhs' responsibilities in ensuring the BJP's continued success.
In another BJP program at Hrishyamukh Mandal, 496 voters from 157 families joined the party, leaving opposition parties. The event saw the presence of notable figures, including former MLA Sankar Roy and MLA of Rajnagar Swapna Majumder.

Imphal, Jun 01, 2023, IANS
Amidst the ongoing wave of violence in Manipur, the state government has made a significant decision by appointing a new Director General of Police (DGP).
In an official order issued by the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, senior IPS officer Rajiv Singh, who hails from the neighboring Tripura cadre, has been named as the new DGP of Manipur, replacing the incumbent P. Doungel.
P. Doungel, a 1987 batch IPS officer of the Manipur cadre, has been reassigned to the newly-created role of Officer-on-Special Duty (OSD) in the Home Department, according to the order.
The appointment of Rajiv Singh, a 1993 batch IPS officer of the Tripura cadre, was approved by the governor of Manipur, who directed him to assume the position immediately upon joining the state government.
Rajiv Singh previously served as the Director of Fire and Emergency Services and the Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) in Tripura. Currently holding the position of Inspector General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
The appointment of a new police chief comes at a critical time for Manipur, as the state has been grappling with unprecedented ethnic violence for the past month.
The situation has been dire, with the death toll reaching 80 and over 300 people sustaining injuries.
Additionally, the violence has resulted in the destruction of approximately 2,000 houses, numerous government and private properties, and a substantial number of vehicles.
The outbreak of violence can be traced back to a "Tribal Solidarity March" organized by the All Tribal Students' Union of Manipur in the 11 hill districts.
The march was held in protest against the demand made by the Meitei community for Scheduled Tribe status.
Prior to this event, tensions had been simmering due to the eviction of Kuki villagers by the state government from reserve forest land, leading to a series of smaller agitations across four districts.
To address the escalating crisis, the central government had previously appointed retired IPS officer Kuldiep Singh, the former chief of the Central Reserve Police Force, as a security advisor to the Manipur government.
However, with the appointment of Rajiv Singh as the new DGP, the state government aims to bolster its law enforcement efforts and restore peace and stability in the region.
The new police chief will face the daunting task of quelling the violence, ensuring the safety and security of the residents, and promoting communal harmony. (Edited)

Composition for a Public Park, by Hassan Khan at the 'Viva Arte Viva' exhibition of the 57th Venice Biennale (Photos: Stills from video documentation shared on Facebook by the artist)
Contemporary Egyptian artist, musician and writer Hassan Khan was awarded the Silver Lion for a Promising Young Artist at La Biennale di Venezia, which opened yesterday with an awards ceremony.
Khan was awarded for his work Composition for a Public Park (2013/2017) displayed at the Giardio delle Vergini, which the artist described on his Facebook page as “a multichannel music and [Libretto] text piece in three movements, especially designed for public parks.”
Running till 26 November, La Biennale di Venezia is chaired by Paolo Baratta, and the 57th International Art Exhibition is titled VIVA ARTE VIVA, curated by Christine Macel. This year the Biennale included 120 invited artists from 51 countries.
The Biennale's Golden Lion for Best National Participation went to Germany, with a special mention to Brazil. The Golden Lion for the Best Artist of the Exhibition Viva Arte Viva went to German artist Franz Erhard Walther, with two special mentions for US artist Charles Atlas and Kosovo artist Petrit Halilaj.
The jury cited the motivation behind the selection as “the special and intimate relationship that his work establishes with the spectator, to whom he suggests a connection between voice, sound and the horizon. His [work] creates an immersive experience which beautifully intertwines the political and the poetic,” according to the Biennale website.
Khan was born in 1975 in the UK, and lives and works in Cairo. He was the president of the International Jury of the 54th International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale.
His diverse oeuvre features performance, site-specific projects, sculptures, photographs, video, and writings, as he constructs narratives from personal experiences to reflect on subjects centered on Egypt, be they events, individuals or features.
With a career extending back to 1990, Khan has had solo exhibitions in New York, São Paulo, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, and has composed soundtracks for theatre and performed his own compositions in Amsterdam, Istanbul, London, and Paris.
Parallel to the Biennale exhibition is a series of weekly Open Table talks by the artists to meet vistors over a casual lunch and discuss their practice.
Khan’s Open Table will take place on Friday 29 September at 1pm at the Padiglione Centrale.
He also has a book titled Twelve Clues on sale at the Venice Biennale's bookstores, which the artist describes on Facebook as a “novella of secret societies; shimmering orbs; charismatic silverbacks; murderous sociopaths; smooth operators; love triangles and converted AI weapon systems.”
Additionally, ‘The Artist’s Practice’ project features a series of short videos made by the invited artists about themselves and their way of working.
These videos are also on view at the Central Pavilion in the Arsenale and at Forte Marghera
The Open Table events, the videos of the Artists’ Practices Project and the live performances of Viva Arte Viva are on view on www.labiennale.org

The annual Consumer Electronics Show kicked off on Sunday in Las Vegas. Hosted by the Consumer Electronics Association, it ranks as one of the world's biggest technology trade fairs and provides a platform for electronics companies to showcase their latest cutting-edge technology and new and upcoming products.
Some 3,000 companies including Samsung and LG, Japan's Sony and Panasonic, German's Siemens and China's Huawei are participating in this year's four-day event. Eight global carmakers such as Hyundai, Kia and Audi are displaying their latest models equipped with the latest "smart" technology.
Microsoft decided not to show up this year. It has lagged behind in the market and failed to keep abreast of the newest trends in the IT industry, which is now heavily focused on mobile devices. Apple customarily skips the CES and keeps a distance from other electronics companies by holding its own separate events.
Meanwhile, analysts say some of the biggest products are deliberately being kept under wraps until the GSMA Mobile World Congress next month in Barcelona.

YAOUNDE, June 4 (Xinhua) -- At least four militants of the terror group Boko Haram were killed when Cameroonian troops repelled a coordinated attack launched in the country's Far North region, military sources said Sunday.
The attack took place early Sunday in the Goldavi locality of the region.
Heavily armed militants attacked an army post in the locality on several fronts during the hours-long battle but were later repelled by soldiers who killed four of them and dumped the bodies in a public place, a military official in the region said.
"Many of them escaped with bullet wounds and we are pursuing them," said the official who asked not to be named.
There were no casualties on the part of the army, the official added.
The terror group has "significantly" stepped up raids in the past month in the region, killing several civilians and soldiers, according to security reports. ■

A leading fisheries trade union leader alleges that millions paid to compensate fishermen for the damages caused by the X-Press Pearl ship is being used in a manner that creates disharmony among the fisher community.
He claimed that the country’s highest Catholic leadership is also involved in this divisive act, adding that the "government is implementing an exceedingly unfair plan which is aimed at creating disputes among and dividing the fisheries community and breaking their backbone.”
All Ceylon Fisherfolk Trade Union (ACFTU) President Aruna Roshantha levelled this allegation while speaking to journalists after lodging a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) on Wednesday (28).
According to him, out of Rs 720 million received by the Sri Lankan government as compensation for the damages caused by the X-Press Pearl ship, a sum of Rs 420 million has been allocated for the fisheries community.
Expressing displeasure over not including fishermen in the committee appointed to take decisions regarding paying compensation to fishermen, Roshantha pointed out that the government has arrived at an unfair decision to pay compensation based on the fishing methods.
“Rafters receive Rs 15,000 for 10 days, and boats that land fish by nets receive Rs 80,000. We want to know what the difference is between these fishermen and those fishermen,” he noted.
Fishermen are being compensated because they have lost their occupation, Roshantha said, emphasising that there should be no discriminationa as small-scale or large-scale fishermen.
“How are they going to pay compensation like this? What right do they have to take decisions about our lives in this manner? We urge the government to take steps to rectify this mistake immediately,” he said.
Ruler and preacher
According to Roshantha, the committee that decides on compensation comprises representatives of the government and Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith.
Negombo District Fisheries Association is an organisation run by the government, and its Gampaha district president is not a fisherman. Also, its president is the fisheries minister.
On 3 June, MV XPress Pearl owned by a Singapore-based company, caught fire while it was in the Sri Lankan waters awaiting clearance to the Colombo Port.
Shortly after, Negombo Citizens’ Collective issued a statement which read that an indescribable environmental damage was happening due to the chemicals that had been stored in the containers the ship was carrying, which are harmful to the environment, human lives and marine species, as well as the debris the incident created.
The prohibition imposed in several areas, such as the 16 km area from the place where the ship caught fire, 6 km area from Negombo to Kochchi Kade, and 2 km towards Panaura, is still in effect, Roshantha said. He had said at an earlier press briefing “in most cases, navy officers chase away fishermen”.

Rich Hill, MLB’s oldest active player at 43: “Retirement? Not for a while. I’ll play next year.”
Pitcher Rich Hill, who was traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates to the San Diego Padres along with Choi Ji-Man, said he intends to play next year.
“I have every intention of playing in 2024,” the 43-year-old said, according to MLB.com’s Justice Delos Santos.
Hill, who is in his 19th MLB season, became the oldest player in MLB when Albert Pujols retired last season.
Hill’s velocity has declined, but his ability to get batters out hasn’t.
Hill, who specializes in inducing ground balls, has a 4.25 ERA in 79 starts over the past three years.
His performance over the next two months will determine where he’ll be next year, but he’s expected to sign a one-year deal rather than a multi-year deal.온라인카지노
It’s not uncommon for MLB pitchers to stay active well into their mid-40s in the 21st century. Bartolo Colon, Tim Wakefield, and Roger Clemens all pitched until age 45, while Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, and Jesse Orozco played until age 46.

Written by Nicole Scholz,
Digital health is high on the European and international agenda in June 2016, notably during eHealth Week from 8 to 10 June in Amsterdam, at the eHealth360°Summit from 14 to 16 June in Budapest and at the Digital Health World Congress on 22 and 23 June in London.
See our Topical Digest on
A wide-ranging concept…
‘Digital health’, an umbrella term pointing towards healthcare’s digital future, has been described as ‘the convergence of the digital and genomic revolutions with health, healthcare, living and society’. Digital health encompasses areas such as eHealth and mobile health (mHealth); telehealth and telemedicine; health information technology (IT); wearable devices; and personalised medicine, including genomics. Interested parties use digital health in an effort to reduce inefficiencies in healthcare delivery, improve access, reduce costs, increase quality and make medicine more personalised for patients.
… highlighted by recent and upcoming events
The European Parliament’s Science and Technology Options Assessment (STOA) workshop on ‘eHealth in Europe’, held in December 2015 in Brussels, addressed scaling up eHealth services and challenges for their deployment. Affiliated with the workshop was the January 2016 Joint Digital Healthcare Symposium, which showcased patient experiences with the United4Health telehealth project, and laid out the implications of the Internet of Things (IoT) for the next generation of healthcare. At the eHealth Summit in January in Brussels, stakeholders discussed ways to overcome the barriers to better integrated care. The topics of the Digital Health and Wellness Summit, organised as part of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, included the IoT, remote monitoring and connected living, with sessions specifically dedicated to start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and investors.
The three themes of this year’s eHealth Week from 8 to 10 June in Amsterdam, co-organised by the Dutch EU Presidency and the European Commission, are Empowering People, Trust and Standards, and Social Innovation and Transition, mirroring the shift in focus of eHealth policy to users. The eHealth360° Summit in Budapest from 14 to 16 June, organised with the patronage of the European Commission, will feature, among other things, wearables in healthcare; mobile medical multimedia technologies; IoT-based ambient assisted living for older adults; and ‘personal, pervasive and mobile health’ – innovative technologies to empower people in well-being, disease prevention and chronic-disease management. Finally, the Digital Health World Congress on 22 and 23 June in London will be about the transformative potential of digital health in the global healthcare industry; the digital health ecosystem; the Internet of Medical Things; Big Data; investing in the digital health market; health insurance; and digital health solutions in healthcare and disease research.
… promoted through EU projects and initiatives
The EU financially supports many projects in the field of information and communications technology (ICT) for health and wellbeing. Ongoing projects financed under the Horizon 2020 framework programme for research and technological development include, to name but a few, Desiree, an information management system for breast cancer; AlterEgo, which enhances social interaction with avatars and robots to help patients suffering from schizophrenia, autism and other social phobias; and Help4Mood, providing computerised support for the treatment of patients with major depression. Among the current EU mHealth initiatives are an industry-led privacy code of conduct for mobile health apps; mHealth assessment guidelines; and support for web entrepreneurs, in particular those under Startup Europe and those included in the Digital Single Market Strategy. In this context, the EU eHealth Competition 2016 on 9 June will reward the best eHealth/mHealth solutions produced by SMEs to give them visibility and marketing opportunities.

When we have gone thru dramatic changes it can feel overwhelming to take another step forward. In our human physical form we are conditioned to use what has occurred as a template for what will occur. As the templates are now dissolving there is no “template” with which to place before ourselves. This triggers the human logical mind which demands an outline that can be stepped into. This is the containment that we have worked hard to resolve and to release. Attempts at living this way are not supported and will work against us. We will feel a slight resistance and feel that we are being opposed.
Moving into sunlight may take us a moment to adjust to the light itself for we have been working in the dark for so long our eyes have simply become accustomed to this. So we are led into the field of sunflowers and we are asked to adjust to the change in temperature and SON LIGHT. For some of us it may feel a bit overwhelming and we may feel very vulnerable, we are fully supported by the Angelic Realms during this phase, they sit with us as we relearn how to walk and most importantly how to play. So dense is the frequency bandwidths of the old earth that often we simply get used to the weight that it pushed upon us. When this is released it may take a while to adjust to moving and feeling safe whilst doing so.
This phase is phase 3 and is slightly slower than phase two for this very reason. We are stepping forward but we are doing so on EXPANDED LEVELS, so whilst in the old earth we stepped forward in 3 dimensions, when we step forward now we are moving forward in many dimensions at once. This sees depth to our human life experience and we must adjust to walking in this way. Outcomes will appear FASTER at this level due to the affect being in more than the 3 dimensions from which we began.
As we prepare to align more fully with the next Phase of our journey we will find there are moments where we require to download deep and expansion information. This will see a few things occur that we require to let wash over us as we simply let go and allow the frequency to move thru, around and within us.
This is an intense opening and we require to give it our full attention, indeed at times it will not be possible to multi task and simply get on with everything at once, when the universe speaks we are required to listen and to understand that as we communicate at these levels it will get EASIER. Like many who began their interactions with the races and realms during phase one and beyond are aware, once we understand the key is LETTING GO completely it becomes like breathing. Then we no longer need to go into “trance” or any “altered states” as we simply align and communicate at an everyday waking life experience level.
Evolution is the process that is now kick started fully and we must simply allow the interactions to flow. The ability to digest complex and expansive information comes naturally during this phase of the process, we must however be open to challenging that which is accepted by humanity and which is at times vehemently defended. TRUTH JUST IS and WE ARE.

Intraspecific Variability in Environmental Tolerance
How do thermal tolerance and performance vary across populations and life stages of Pacific salmon?
Pacific salmon are a truly iconic group of fishes with immense cultural, economic, and ecological value. Salmon return to their natal streams to spawn with high fidelity, resulting in hundreds of geographically and genetically diverse populations. They encounter widely varying environmental challenges across their broad geographic range (California to Alaska and Russia to Japan), and across their life cycle (anadromous; both freshwater and seawater stages vs. resident forms). We take advantage of this impressive diversity to examine local adaptation in performance and thermal tolerance.

Why do adult female Pacific salmon have higher mortality rates than males?
Numerous field and lab-based studies have discovered that sexually mature, adult female Pacific salmon have higher mortality rates compared to males, particularly when the fish are exposed to secondary stressors (e.g. handling + high temperature). However, the underlying mechanism(s) driving the increased mortality in females remain a mystery. Our team is trying to figure out what is going on and how we can help.
How does size influence an animal’s capacity to cope with environmental change?
Metabolism is well known to scale allometrically with body size, such that larger organisms have lower mass-specific metabolic rates compared to smaller organisms. Our team is examining how this phenomenon relates to environmental tolerance and performance in a variety of systems (social insects, fishes, Corynactis californica, spiny lobsters, Pacific salmon).

Description: BestDissertation.com ✅ review includes information about the price list, discounts, deadlines, and the quality of paper that you can get on this site. BestDissertation.com has a team of 500 PhD specialists.Visit site
|Owned by||Careersboost Limited|
|Years in operation||13|
|Minimal price per page||$16.99|
- Generous first-order discount
- They say only ENL writers are hired by their service
- Poor online reputation
- A bit convoluted price table
- A bit convoluted price table
- Low quality of the written paper
There are hundreds of dissertation writing services available on the Internet, but there are a few key things you need to look for when you discover you need help. Professionalism is essential, and of course, you need help from writers that are highly educated, well-spoken and creative.
You can have a functionally adequate dissertation with all of the appropriate facts and figures included, but if the writer doesn’t have that intangible “something extra” that makes the paper zing, it’s just not going to capture the attention of your advisors and dissertation committee. BestDissertation.com has that something extra.
Quality: Who’s your ghost-writer, anyway?
You wouldn’t buy a computer, or even a pair of pants or sweater off the Internet without knowing a little about the company and the people behind it first—and you certainly don’t want to trust your academic career to an anonymous web site.
One of the best features of BestDissertation.com is the fact that you have direct contact with your ghost-writer, so the creation process can be fully iterative, interactive and collaborative. BestDissertation.com makes an impressive claim to a staff of 500 PhD specialists across all specialties.
If they had any more PhDs on staff, they could run NASA! That’s an important differentiator. While some dissertation services do employ highly skilled writers, most are generalists that won’t know the excruciatingly mind-numbing details that make a dissertation successful.
Support: They burn the midnight oil, too
Because they serve such a broad audience, BestDissertation.com has a 24/7 customer support department. Students don’t exactly keep bankers’ hours, so you need to have the ability to call at 3 o’clock in the morning if you have a burning question—and they accommodate.
Their support department is even open on holidays, so when you’re in the middle of your Christmas dinner and suddenly realize that you forgot to provide some vital information to your writer, you will be able to get the message through.
Delivery: On time and on schedule
You’ll have the choice of downloading the finished work directly from the BestDissertation.com web portal, or receiving it via email—an important distinction if you’re worried about email security. The delivery will actually be in two phases.
You’ll get a draft of the paper for you to review, but you do have to request it. That gives you an opportunity to make sure the paper conforms to your expectations, and re-submit it to the writer to iron out any last bugs before you get the final copy.
Site Usage: Easy as your English Comp 101 class
The website itself is easy to use and answers to your questions—nothing hidden anywhere. There is plenty of space for you to include instructions on your dissertation along with your order, and if you’ve worked with a particular writer in the past that has done exceptionally well by you, you can choose that writer again.
Once the order is taken, BestDissertation.com’s brain trust takes over and starts the research, and you stay in touch through a messaging system directly on the site. A direct phone conference isn’t available, but the messaging system is easy to use and gets the job done.
Pricing: Money left over for pizza!
Bestdissertation.com offers 3 levels of writing services, Standard, Advanced and Premium, depending on the academic level of the student and with different pricing structures. If the student has a 10-page dissertation to be completed within 30 days, it would cost $169.90 at the Standard level, $189.90 at the Advanced level and $209.90 at the Premium level.
The pricing structure, therefore, depends on the particular level of writing needed, the number of pages and the time period when the dissertation has to be delivered. All major credit cards, as well as wire transfer, are accepted.
BestDissertation.com has the brain power you need to get the grades, produce a quality product, and save you time. Prices are affordable and in line with competing services, and the entire process is painless—so you can focus on some o the other hundred things that need your attention.

1. Unlocking the Power of Creative Thinking for Research Papers
Doing research for a paper can be an incredibly daunting task. It involves taking on vast amounts of material and synthesizing it into clear statements that support your thesis. How do you unlock the power of creative thinking to make this process easier? Here are some tips:
- Step outside of the box. Don’t limit yourself to books, newspapers, and TV clips when undertaking research – use podcasts, vodcasts, art galleries or documentaries as well.
- Make connections between different sets of information. Unpack ideas from disparate sources in order to draw out larger themes and patterns.
Once your research is complete, be sure to organize all collected pieces into one cohesive unit. Outlining will help you keep track of thoughts and reorder them if needed alongside previously gathered evidence.
2. Jump-Starting Your Research Paper Ideas
Getting the ideas for your research paper rolling can be a daunting task. It’s important to get creative with how you start digging into a subject or topic – getting out of your traditional search engine comfort zone and really exploring all that is available. Here are some tips to consider as you brainstorm:
Ideas from Your Brainstorming Session
- Look at scholarly sources, newspaper articles, or industry magazines.
- Take notes with each source; this will help organize the data in an efficient manner.
- Use secondary literature – speaking with professionals or colleagues regarding their experience on the topic might jump-start ideas.
- Think about what has already been written about this particular issue before deciding to pursue it further… could it use more exploration? </
3. Dissecting Potential Topics with Intuitive Analysis
Analyzing potential topics can be daunting, especially when trying to determine if a subject has enough material for research. However, there are few ways that you can use intuitive analysis to get a better sense of the viability and richness of given ideas.
- Start With Open Questions: Ask yourself questions like what is this about? What type of information exists on this topic? Who would be interested in learning more about it? These types of inquiries will help you gain insight into how much resources may already exist tackling similar angles or concepts.
- Look at Previous Research & Studies: To really understand the scope and depth available with any particular concept, examine related media such as journals, articles, reports or studies. This method not only reveals what others have previously investigated but also provides an excellent starting point for further exploration.
4. Differentiating Literature Review vs Primary Source Material
When it comes to researching any given subject, understanding the difference between literature review and primary source material can be invaluable. Knowing which sources are right for your purposes saves you time as well as allowing you to focus on more relevant information.
- Literature Review: Refers to an analysis of existing research and other materials in a specific field or topic. This type of source is used when summarizing and synthesizing existing knowledge about a certain area.
- Primary Source Material : An original document, account, or data set that has been generated by people involved directly with the event rather than being reported secondhand from another person’s interpretation of them events. Primary sources allow researchers access points into their studies that may otherwise not exist.
Knowing how these two types of sources work together provides scholars insights they might have missed had they chosen one over the other. For example, utilizing a combination of both provides deeper levels of inquiry compared to simply relying on solely either one alone. Further reading involving this distinction can help readers navigate through academic research easily so they don’t get lost beneath all the useful information at their fingertips!
5. Crafting an Outline to Focus Your Idea Exploration
Once the idea exploration phase is complete, it’s time to turn all that research into an outline. Crafting a detailed and logical structure for your ideas will help you focus on developing each element of the project before moving onto the next step.
- Start by brainstorming keywords. Make creative connections between related topics or themes to generate new ideas. You can also incorporate existing terms that appear in conversations about your subject matter or industry.
Next up, organize these keywords into sections using bullet points. This could be done through timelines, subjects tackled chapter-by-chapter, distinct visuals represented across different platforms, etc. Consider what format works best for conveying your story efficiently and effectively.
6. Sketches, Diagrams and Brain Dumps: Vital Tools for the Inquisitive Mind
Sketches, diagrams and brain dumps are essential resources for stimulating creative thinking. For those who strive to challenge their existing assumptions and explore the realm of unknown possibilities, these tools provide an invaluable means to express ideas and make connections between them, transcending boundaries in thought.
- Sketching is a great tool for visualizing abstract concepts like scientific theories or engineering solutions — you can directly represent information on paper through drawings that are meaningful enough to garner new insights from. The process allows us to get out of our heads and onto paper, while also retraining ourselves as we track our progress over time.
- Diagrams, meanwhile, can be used effectively for breaking down complex problems into smaller components that may then help identify cause-and-effect relationships which would otherwise remain hidden in plain sight.
7. Taking Action on Your Research Paper Topic Creation
Creating a research paper topic is only the first step in your academic journey. It’s time to take action and get started! Here are some tips on how to move forward from developing your research question:
- Outline Your Paper: Use key points from your preliminary research, define the scope of the project, decide on which direction you’ll go towards tackling this topic.
Visualizing what kind of structure you would like for your paper may help clarify ideas as well as ensure an organized written piece. Writing down each point will also give you something tangible that can should serve as guide when gathering materials related to it or writing down thoughts about it.
- Do Detailed Research : </b >Dig deeper into resources such as databases and journals with relevant information for facts regarding a specific part of the study or further insights in general.
At this stage every detail matters; therefore make sure to not count yourself short by entirely relying on Internet sources alone. Be open minded when reading articles and books so that arguments against yours can be taken into consideration if necessary.</p
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kinds of topics can I consider when exploring ideas for a research paper?
A: When considering a topic to write about, it’s important to choose something that is interesting and relevant. Depending on the subject, you could look into current events or contemporary issues, discuss scientific breakthroughs or explore historical figures. You can also take inspiration from literature, art or music – the possibilities are virtually endless!
Finding inspiration for research paper topics can be a difficult process but it doesn’t have to be. By recognizing all the available resources and keeping an open mind, you can uncover creative ideas that will make your research project stand out from the crowd. With the right topic in hand, you are well on your way to producing an excellent finished product!

Online sales have been proven to be consistently relevant and in demand, even in conditions of lockdown and isolation. However, starting an online business from scratch can be a daunting task. Questions arise such as how to create an efficient corporate site design where to begin, and whether a substantial investment is required.
In this article, our responsive web design agency aims to help you find out how to start an online store. We hope that the information provided will give readers a clear idea of what needs to be done and what to pay special attention to, so that their store will become successful and prosperous.
How to Start an Online Store: 20 Steps to Follow
The process of creating an online store is pretty demanding and requires thorough work and analysis to be carried out. Let’s take a closer look at the steps companies should take to make their store beneficial to both the business and the customers.

- Plan advertising activities to achieve the set goals, such us improving sales and increasing demand for products.
- Give up on hopeless marketing decisions, thus avoiding gross mistakes.
Therefore, a proper marketing strategy helps companies to plan their sustainable competitive advantage, that’s why its development should not be neglected.
02# Budgeting for Success: How to Choose the Right Niche for Your Online Store
How to start an online store without considering this important point? The success of an entire enterprise depends on what it sells. There are two nuances to consider when choosing a niche: if you opt for a popular one, you will probably generate profits, but you will have to compete with established brands that have already conquered the market. Alternatively, if you choose a little-known or new niche, there will be almost no competitors. However, you will need to substantially invest in advertising to promote the product and make it popular in the market.
However, there are several loopholes for the second option. The first is to focus on a narrow product category. For instance, rather than selling women’s clothing in general, you can specialize in selling specific items like dresses or skirts. The second loophole is to utilize social media, especially if your budget doesn’t include ad spending. Word of mouth, bonuses, and discounts for reviews are also excellent tools for generating buzz around your store.
So, companies should deliberate their budget and possibilities to choose the most suitable niche for their e-commerce store.
03# The Importance of a Comprehensive Business Plan for Starting an Online Store
Creating a business plan is a crucial step in our guide of ‘How To Start An Online Store’. It is essential to outline the process of creating, launching, and organizing an online store in detail. Businesses should have a clear understanding of what they will sell, where they will source their products, and how they will deliver orders.
A comprehensive business plan should contain the following sections:
- Product description: This section should provide a detailed description of the product, including its advantages and disadvantages. It should also outline where the company will source the product, how it will be stored and delivered.
- Market analysis: A thorough analysis of the market is essential. This should include information on the number of stores selling similar goods, the market share that the company hopes to capture, and any unique selling points.
- Online store description: Companies should decide whether their online store will be retail or wholesale, a single-page multi-product website, or a multi-page catalog. The website interface and sales process should also be considered.
- Marketing plan: This section should address how the website will be promoted. Will it be through SEO, contextual advertising, SMM, or something else?
- Organizational plan: Companies need to determine the amount of investment required to get started, including website development and launch, equipment and product purchases, and advertising expenses.
- Financial plan: This section should cover all expenditures and expected income. It is crucial to calculate the return on investment and the business’s prospects.
- Risk assessment: It’s essential to predict potential issues that could interfere with the company’s plans. Potential causes and ways to prevent or eliminate such problems should be considered.
In summary, a well-structured business plan helps companies to navigate the entire process and ensures that nothing is overlooked.
04# From Naming to Slogans: How to Develop a Unique Brand for Your Online Store
A brand is the image that comes to people’s minds when they hear the name of a company. The visual elements are the first things that people associate with a brand. Consider the apple or Instagram’s logo. It’s clear that a distinctive and memorable brand is crucial for success.
When creating a brand, companies should ask themselves a few questions, such as who their target audience is, what problems their product solves, and who their competitors are. It’s important to use a presentation of the product that builds strong associative links. Several brand elements can help, including:
Naming: How to start an online store without a business name? The name of the product or company should be easy to remember and form a unique story around it that creates an associative array. Thus, Tesla is correlated with Nikola Tesla.
Logo: A recognizable image or inscription is the first thing that catches the eye of the customer. The McDonald’s logo capital letter M is a wonderful illustration.
Fonts and colors: These elements influence the psychological perception of the brand and are used to produce strong connotations with the product or company. For instance, the orange color is associated with Fanta.
Slogan: This is an advertising message that conveys the essence of the company or brand. Nike’s “Just do it!” is an excellent example.
When developing a brand, companies should consider every detail, as a strong association is key to becoming unforgettable to customers.
05# The Pros and Cons of Using Dropshipping in Your Business
Dropshipping is a type of cooperation with a supplier where goods are directly shipped from their warehouse to the customer, with the online store acting as an intermediary only. This method offers several advantages, such as the absence of large purchases of goods, warehouse rental, and logistics and warranty service. However, it also has some drawbacks, including the high cost of the products and the complexity of working with multiple contractors simultaneously. For instance, if a customer orders several products from different providers, the company has to pay for several deliveries at once.
Before starting cooperation with suppliers, it is important to ensure their reliability, as their service level and product quality directly influence the company’s reputation. Therefore, businesses should carefully consider whether to sell their own products or use the services of suppliers.
06# Top Factors to Consider When Selecting a Domain Name for Your Online Store
When it comes to recommending an online store, it’s common for users to share its name rather than a specific link. So, it’s crucial to choose a concise and memorable company name and corresponding domain name. A domain is the address of an online store that customers use to find it on the Internet.
Here are some tips for choosing a domain name:
- It should be clearly pronounced and written without ambiguity to avoid confusion.
- Don’t make it too long, since shorter names are easier to remember.
- Use words related to the field in which the company operates.
- It should be associated with the company or reflect the website theme to aid recall.
- Uniqueness is also important to prevent users from being directed to the website of another company.
Considering these factors will help companies select a catchy domain name that accurately represents their brand.
07# Reliable CMS Platforms for Long-Term E-commerce Success
If you don’t have the resources to create a website from scratch, using CMS platforms is the viable option. Choosing the right CMS is crucial for a successful start. It’s better to take the time to thoroughly research all the alternatives rather than spending months fixing problems later on.
The functionality of the online store largely depends on the capabilities of the CMS. It provides users with basic tools to create, delete, and edit pages, expand the product catalog, publish content, add CTA buttons, and more.
While a small store can be created using a free and simple CMS, companies should keep in mind that if their business starts to grow, they may encounter issues with the platform functionality. These may include slow page loading, inability to set up sorting or customize contact forms, and restrictions on creating and filling pages with content, all of which can affect the quality of service.
For this reason, if you’re planning for the long-term productivity of your online store, it’s better to use reliable and proven CMS platforms from the start, such as Magento, WooCommerce, or or any headless solution.
08# Understanding Your Target Audience: A Crucial Step for E-commerce Success
How to start an online store without identifying your target audience? Defining the target audience is a crucial step, as failure to understand who the business is catering to can lead to failure. For example, attempting to sell home furnishings to reckless teenagers is unlikely to be successful, while the older generation may not be interested in modern gadgets. To properly define the target audience, the following characteristics should be considered:
It is important to keep in mind that women tend to make more purchases, both online and offline. Men, on the other hand, prefer to buy goods less frequently, usually when they have a specific need and slack time to shop.
Different generations have different priorities and behaviors when it comes to making purchases. The older generation tends to be more thoughtful and cautious, while the younger generation is more likely to make spontaneous decisions.
People with lower incomes prioritize cheaper products and look for discounts and sales. Those with average incomes prioritize quality over price, while wealthy customers may be more interested in exclusive products.
Other characteristics to consider include the presence or absence of children, education level, hobbies, and interests. To better understand the target audience, companies can analyze their competitors’ websites or conduct interviews with friends and acquaintances.
Ignoring this step can lead to a lack of clients, which is highly unfavorable for any business.
09# Product Selection for Online Stores: Factors to Consider
After defining a niche, the next step is to determine the product that the business will sell. E-commerce giants like Amazon or eBay offer a vast range of products for all occasions, but it took them time to get there. A new company should start with a certain category of goods, gain a reputation, and then gradually expand if necessary.
It’s recommended to sell products that are already popular among customers because promoting a new one requires a significant investment. Some categories that have a stable demand include clothing and shoes, books and stationery, tea and coffee, toys, sports goods, cosmetics, and more.
In addition, seasonal products are also a popular category, such as holiday decorations and gift sets during the Christmas season, or swimwear and diving gear at the beginning of summer. However, there’s a risk of little demand for these products during other seasons, leading to volatile profits.
Therefore, when choosing the product to sell, companies should consider the potential risks and advantages and disadvantages of all product categories.
10# Creating a Website for Your Online Store: The Key Pages to Include
Depending on the goals, the number of products and services offered, and size, the online store may contain a different set of pages presented on its website. Let’s explore the most popular ones.
Homepage: A homepage is he first page a customer sees when entering a website. It is the “face” of an online store and can surprise, attract, and persuade users to buy a product. The homepage should contain information about promotions and sales, as well as a menu for seamless navigation.
Catalog: To avoid confusion, it’s essential to structure the assortment of products properly. A catalog page can help with this by separating sections and product cards using design techniques such as colors and fonts..
Blog: A blog can help increase sales and attract new customers by containing reviews of the company’s products or topical articles on the latest trends. Also, using SEO techniques in blog posts can help with promotion.
About us page: An About Us page can increase visitors’ trust and loyalty by providing honest information about the company. It can also answer common questions and increase sales by offering a personal approach.
Contact page: A contact page is a necessary section that enable customers to contact the store’s consultants or support team quickly. Companies should provide various contact forms and communication methods, as well as physical addresses if they have offices or offline shops.
Other pages, such as a FAQ page or a Policy page, can also be added to help both customers and the business. The list of pages is not exhaustive, and companies can customize them according to their needs.
11# Don’t Overdo It: Balancing Design and Functionality in Your E-commerce Site
How to start an online store without a balance between design and functionality? The online store’s design should be attractive and appealing to visitors, encouraging them to stay and place orders. Thorough consideration should be given to the website design and its elements since this significantly increases the chances of users performing the targeted action, making a purchase. As design requirements are constantly growing, the following points should be taken into account:
- Style and laconism: Flashy colors and fanciful fonts are out of fashion. Therefore, the design should be consistent and stylish. There is no need to take up the entire space of the pages, as minimalism is still in demand.
- High-quality photos and videos: In the minds of the customers, the quality of all the website elements serves as an indicator of the quality of goods or services the store offers. Unique, custom illustrations should be used instead of downloaded ones to showcase creativity.
- Corporate identity: Once brand elements such as logo and corporate colors, have been designed, it’s time to apply them to the website. With their help, the company will not only display its identity and stand out from competitors.
The main idea is to make the store unique and demonstrate its key features. However, companies should remember not to overplay the design by incorporating all available elements.
12# Avoiding Plagiarism and Keyword Stuffing: Guidelines for Writing Unique Product Descriptions
Now it’s time to add products to the website catalog. The product page should be designed to attract customers and persuade them to make a purchase. That’s why, post high-quality photos and write engaging product descriptions.
When writing product descriptions, pay attention to several requirements. Firstly, it should be unique to avoid plagiarism. Secondly, it should be optimized with relevant keywords to improve its visibility on search engines. Thirdly, it should provide complete information about the product to help customers make informed decisions.
It’s also crucial to ensure that the descriptions are free from errors and typos. Poorly written descriptions can negatively impact the store’s credibility and reputation. Besides, search engines may penalize the store for low-quality content, such as duplicate content and keyword stuffing.
Therefore, it’s essential to check the content quality before publishing it on the website to avoid future complications. By following these guidelines, companies can create attractive product pages that will entice customers to make a purchase.
Here are a few AI tools that can be used to generate unique product descriptions:

13# Making Payment Easy: A Guide to Choosing Payment Options for Your Online Store
When building a new store, companies need to decide on the payment options that will be available to their customers. As of today, there are two most common payment types:
COD is much less profitable for the store, since the cost of delivery increases and such an expenditure item as the return of an unredeemed item appears (when the buyer had changed their mind and didn’t pay for the goods). Moreover, the delivery may take quite a long time, and the company will have to wait to get the money from the customer. However, this type of payment is favorable for those clients who don’t have the right sum of money when making a purchase or those who have some doubts about either the product quality or the company itself. So, new businesses should include this option, at least until they establish their reputation and gain the trust of buyers.
Online payment on the website, in its turn, allows companies to receive money for the goods even before they are sent to the client, thereby avoiding the above-mentioned cases. There are many services for internet acquisition, and before selecting one of them, it’s advisable to check the terms of cooperation (payment methods, commissions, availability of ready-made modules for your CMS, etc.).
Both types have their advantages and disadvantages, and it’s up to the company to select the one that suits them best.
14# Setting Prices for Profitability: Tips for Online Store Owners
The payment of taxes is an integral part of any business, and it is important to register the company as a business entity. This means that not only do you receive all the profit from the store and work for yourself, but you are also responsible for all obligations, such as unforeseen expenses, payment of salaries, and taxes.
Before registering the store, it’s important to consider the price (or markup) for which the company will sell the goods. This is crucial since it will allow businesses to calculate the return on their store and avoid situations where the company’s profit equals zero (or even a negative) after all taxes have been paid.
To register, the company owner needs to go to the relevant authority where the specialist will provide information about the forms of taxation, payment procedures, and issue a sales tax ID.
When cooperating with suppliers from other countries, companies also need to follow their tax rules. Therefore, it’s important to thoroughly study the taxation rules of both countries (or more), as failure to do so may lead to big problems.
15# The Importance of User-Friendly Design in Ecommerce
To attract customers and make sales, an online store needs to be both visually appealing and user-friendly. To achieve this, companies should follow these recommendations:
- Equip a product catalog with filters and a search bar or easy navigation. Display similar, additional, and viewed products on product and category pages to increase sales. Add sliders with special offers to encourage customers to buy.
- Avoid overloading pages with irrelevant information. Too many call-to-action buttons and large banners with ads that cover website content can prevent visitors from staying on the website. The concept of excessiveness should be avoided.
- Indicate the price of the product on each product card. Transparency in pricing is crucial for customers as the price is one of the most critical factors when making a purchase. Visitors expect to see prices on a new website and may leave if they can’t find them easily.
- Place convenient contact forms for all possible cases. Contact forms are essential for customers who have questions or want to provide feedback on a product. They allow the company to improve customer service and make necessary changes.
- Make sure that the design of the online store is mobile-responsive. Many customers use their mobile devices to shop online, so it’s vital to make a website fully adaptive for different gadgets.
Following these recommendations will make the online store more attractive and user-friendly, leading to boosted sales and better customer satisfaction.
16# The Role of Promotion in Building a Strong Brand
Branding plays a crucial role in how a company is perceived by its customers. Effective branding can build consumer awareness and loyalty, attract buyers, justify pricing policy, and capture a market niche. However, its building process consists of several stages that require a significant investment of time and effort.
These stages include detailed research, positioning strategy development, communication with customers, promotion strategy development, and the creation of distinctive brand elements. Each one requires a unique set of skills and knowledge, and all of them must be integrated to create a successful branding strategy.
Additionally, since the market is continually changing and growing, a company must be flexible and adjust its branding strategy to remain relevant and competitive.
17# Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Corporation, or LLC: Which is the Best Fit for Online Store
Business structure refers to the legal status of a company organization. There are several types of structures, and each has its own pros and cons for the business. Let’s take a closer look at them.
Sole proprietorship is a type of entrepreneurial activity carried out by an individual. The registration process is fast and simple and doesn’t require much paperwork. Yet, there’s also a serious drawback, which is an unlimited financial liability. Fines, taxes, and all other expenses can affect the personal property of the entrepreneur. Besides, within this type, it’s prohibited to hire any employees.
Partnership stands for collective business management and is divided into two subtypes: general and limited liability. In a general partnership, all its members bear the full financial liability, while in a limited liability partnership, stakeholders risk only their investment in the company. All possible fines or collections do not affect their personal property. Moreover, the taxes are paid in accordance with the income of each partner, not the company revenue itself.
A corporation is a universal type of business suitable for almost any kind of business. The owners possess no personal liability for the processes in the company. However, it’s the most bureaucratic type, with a huge amount of official papers that need to be filled out and kept. At the same time, investors prefer to fund their money in corporations, mainly because it’s easier to track the money flow.
Limited liability company (LLC) brings together most of the strengths of the corporation and a partnership, and there’s less paperwork than in the corporation. However, when it comes to building an online store in the USA, there are different conditions for running it in various states. That’s why it’s required to study the legislation of the state where the company is registered.
As you can see, all business structures have their strengths and weaknesses, so before registering, companies should study each of them carefully and make a deliberate decision about which one is right for them.
18# The Importance of Testing Before Launching Your Online Store
Once all the steps mentioned above have been implemented, companies need to make sure that everything works correctly before launching the store. There are a few important nuances that need to be checked, including:
The website’s visual appeal is the first thing that catches the users’ attention. Therefore, companies should test how the website is displayed on different browsers and devices. They should also ensure that the design of all elements is consistent, the font is easily readable, and the text and background are compatible and do not interfere with the convenient perception of the information.
The website’s performance is crucial, and companies need to check that all forms for collecting data work faultlessly and do not cause any difficulties for users. They should also ensure that all the links and social media icons are interactive and operate accurately. When users click on the company logo, they should be directed to the homepage, and the page loading time should be minimal.
Security and backups are truly essential for launching the website. Companies should save a copy of the final website version and regularly save any updates introduced. They should also ensure that all passwords and submitted data are stored in a highly secured database. Furthermore, companies should check whether they have obtained an SSL certificate that ensures the safety of the connection.
In conclusion, these and other elements connected with the user experience and flawless work of the website should be thoroughly studied and checked before launching the online store. Any mistakes or inconsistencies may negatively affect the overall work of the company. Once everything is tested and verified, companies can push the button “Launch the store” and start earning big money.
19# From Contests to Advertising: Effective Strategies for Promoting Your Online Store
Active promotion is crucial for even the best online store to be noticed. For example, companies can use social media marketing (SMM) to promote their business. The process is pretty simple: they create pages on social networks and publish interesting content concerning their products, helpful recommendations, or the latest news. On these pages, from time to time, they can also launch various contests so that users will have an opportunity to get promotional codes, discounts, and gifts.
When it comes to attracting and retaining customers, diverse special offers, as well as loyalty programs, will also be of much help. Also, companies can reward their clients for leaving feedback and inviting new users to the store. Businesses can also run contextual advertising in search engines or create a YouTube channel for placing videos with product reviews.
Generally speaking, companies should not neglect any marketing means that can draw the attention of buyers and attract them to the website. After all, this is the whole point of sales, isn’t it?
20# From Launch to Success: How to Increase Sales and Customer Satisfaction Over Time
Congratulations, the biggest and most difficult part of the work is done — your store is launched, and thanks to your marketing campaigns, you have received your first orders. However, this is not the end. It is crucial not to stop at the achieved result and continue to increase the profitability of the store while maintaining convenience for customers. That’s why businesses are advised to constantly analyze and improve their stores’ operations.
After launching, companies should analyze the KPIs or Key Performance Indicators. These are various performance indicators, including the number of new visitors and active customers, average order amount, and the number of users who add products to the cart but do not make a purchase. These metrics help businesses understand user behavior on the website and reasons for leaving it empty-handed. Analyzing these mistakes will help make the buying process easier and increase sales.
Furthermore, right after launching, the website is unlikely to be among the top positions in search results. In a perfect scenario, companies should strive to at least reach the first page or achieve the top position in search results. This is challenging, especially for high-frequency queries, as the competition is fierce. Therefore, businesses need to work quickly, efficiently, and comprehensively to promote their stores.
On a Final Note
Creating an online store can be an exciting and fulfilling process, although new businesses may encounter some difficulties and nuances along the way. Today, it’s difficult for a company to survive without an online presence, so it’s important to carefully consider each process step.

It is my understanding that the Eugene City Council is considering adding an alternative auditor measure for the May ballot, to join the original measure which garnered 10,000 signatures (and to be transparent, including mine) and met all city requirements for the process. This was not an easy or quick process.
Now another group of citizens has bypassed the whole initiative process and convinced the City Council to put their own measure (dubbed auditor-lite) on the same ballot. Would it not be more open and democratic to allow the people to vote on the original, up or down, without adding competition?
The adding of this competing measure will not reassure or instill trust. If the people don’t like the current measure and vote for it, it won’t pass. That would then allow the council to present an alternative for a later vote, without allegations of favoritism or cronyism. Please re-consider this.

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Tehran’s Interim Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Imami Kashani said here today that the Iranian nation will respond and defuse the United States’ plots aimed at sowing discord between Muslim Shiites and Sunnites.
Addressing a fervent congregation of the worshippers on Tehran University campus here today, he noted the plots hatched by the enemies against Islam, and said, “Following the Islamic Revolution, the Britons and Americans have been seeking to pose different threats to Iran and strove to sow seeds of discord between the Muslim Shiites and Sunnites.”
“They made a proper use of Saddam Hussein to this end, but they must know and they, of course, know that this weapon is of no efficiency any more,” the cleric added.
He further reminded that the director of the US Foreign Relations Council has described Bush’s policy on Iraq and menacing Iran as wrong measures and has instead proposed for direct negotiations with Iran.
“Gorbachev also believes that Bush is stuck in a quagmire, while Bush himself has confessed to his errors,” Imami Kashani continued.
Stressing the need for Islamic vigilance and intelligence, he called on the world Muslims to identify threats and plots.
He also addressed the US, and said, “The world and the Middle-East are now vigilant. The Iranian nation will respond to all your plots on the rallies to be staged on the 22nd of Bahman (11 of February) and we hope that the whole world will give you a proper response.”

OFA Elbows: Labrador Breeder Health Testing
Labrador Retrievers are one of the most popular dog breeds, known for their intelligence, loyalty, and friendly nature. However, like any other breed, Labradors are also prone to certain health issues that can affect their quality of life. One such concern is elbow dysplasia, a developmental condition that affects the elbows of dogs. To ensure the overall well-being of Labrador Retrievers and maintain breed standards, responsible breeders implement health testing programs such as Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) Elbows.
Consider the case of Max, a two-year-old Labrador Retriever who was recently diagnosed with elbow dysplasia. Max’s owners noticed him limping after intense exercise sessions and sought veterinary advice promptly. After thorough examination and diagnostic tests, it was determined that Max had developed elbow dysplasia due to abnormal growth patterns in his joints. This unfortunate scenario underscores the importance of breeding practices aimed at reducing the incidence of this hereditary condition among Labradors. The use of OFA Elbows health testing offers an effective means for breeders to identify potential risks and make informed decisions when selecting mate pairs to improve future generations’ joint health outcomes.
What are OFA Elbows?
What are OFA Elbows?
Imagine a scenario where you have just brought home a lively Labrador Retriever puppy. As your furry companion grows, it is essential to ensure their overall health and well-being. One aspect of maintaining the health of Labradors involves monitoring the condition of their elbows.
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) provides a standardized evaluation known as OFA Elbow screening, which assesses the integrity and soundness of Labrador retrievers’ elbow joints. This examination aims to identify any potential abnormalities or diseases affecting the elbows.
To evoke an emotional response in readers, let’s consider some key points about OFA Elbows:
- Reliability: The OFA Elbow evaluations are conducted by certified veterinary radiologists who specialize in orthopedics. These experts follow rigorous guidelines set forth by the organization, ensuring accurate and consistent assessments.
- Early Detection: Early identification of elbow issues through OFA screenings allows breeders to make informed decisions regarding breeding programs, reducing the risk of passing on hereditary conditions to future generations.
- Preventive Measures: By understanding a dog’s predisposition to certain elbow conditions, such as dysplasia or osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD), proactive measures can be taken to minimize discomfort and prevent further deterioration.
- Health Improvement: With proper knowledge gained from these evaluations, breeders can select suitable mating pairs that decrease the likelihood of producing offspring with elbow-related disorders.
Now that we understand what OFA Elbows entail, let us explore why they hold significant importance for Labrador breeders.
[Transition:] Understanding how important OFA Elbows are for Labrador breeders requires delving into various factors that influence responsible breeding practices.
Why are OFA Elbows important for Labrador breeders?
Labrador breeders understand the importance of maintaining the health and well-being of their dogs. One crucial aspect of this is ensuring that breeding stock has healthy elbows, which are evaluated through a process called OFA Elbows testing. To illustrate the significance of this testing method, let’s consider an example: imagine a Labrador breeder named Sarah who wants to ensure that her breeding pair will produce puppies with strong elbow joints.
OFA Elbows testing involves obtaining radiographs (X-rays) of a dog’s elbows to assess for any abnormalities or signs of joint disease. This evaluation plays a vital role in identifying potential genetic issues within the breed, allowing responsible breeders like Sarah to make informed decisions about their breeding program.
Now, let’s take a closer look at why OFA Elbows testing is important for Labrador breeders:
Genetic Health Screening: By conducting OFA Elbows tests on their breeding dogs, Labrador breeders can identify individuals with elbow dysplasia or other orthopedic conditions. This screening helps prevent passing on these conditions to future generations, reducing the risk of inherited diseases among offspring.
Breeding Selection: The results from OFA Elbows tests provide valuable information for selecting suitable mates for breeding. Breeders can choose partners with healthy elbows, thereby minimizing the chances of producing puppies prone to skeletal problems.
Ethical Responsibility: Ensuring the overall health and well-being of Labrador Retrievers should be a top priority for every breeder. By incorporating OFA Elbows testing as part of their breeding practices, breeders demonstrate ethical responsibility towards the preservation and improvement of the breed.
Enhanced Reputation: Breeders who prioritize health testing, including OFA Elbows evaluations, build a reputation for being responsible and dedicated to producing healthy puppies. This reputation not only attracts prospective buyers but also contributes positively to the overall perception of Labrador Retriever breeders as caring professionals.
To further emphasize the significance of OFA Elbows testing, consider the following table:
|Benefits of OFA Elbows Testing|
|Identifies potential genetic issues within the breed|
|Helps prevent passing on elbow dysplasia and other orthopedic conditions to offspring|
|Facilitates informed breeding selection for healthier generations|
|Demonstrates ethical responsibility in preserving and improving the breed|
In summary, OFA Elbows testing is an essential tool for Labrador breeders who prioritize the health and well-being of their dogs. By conducting this evaluation, breeders can identify potential joint abnormalities, make informed breeding decisions, exhibit ethical responsibility, and enhance their reputation as responsible professionals.
How are OFA Elbows tested?
Labrador breeders understand the importance of testing for OFA Elbows to ensure the overall health and well-being of their breeding dogs. By conducting these tests, breeders can identify potential elbow issues early on, allowing them to make informed decisions regarding their breeding program. One example that highlights the significance of OFA Elbow testing is a hypothetical case where a Labrador breeder discovers through testing that one of their breeding dogs has developed elbow dysplasia. This finding prompts the breeder to exclude this dog from future breeding plans, preventing the transmission of this genetic condition to offspring.
There are several reasons why OFA Elbow testing is crucial for Labrador breeders:
- Ensuring healthy puppies: Breeding dogs with good elbow health reduces the likelihood of passing on hereditary conditions such as elbow dysplasia or arthritis to their offspring.
- Maintaining breed standards: Responsible breeders strive to produce Labrador Retrievers that meet breed standards in both appearance and health. Testing for OFA Elbows helps achieve this goal by selecting only those dogs with sound elbows for breeding.
- Enhancing reputation: Breeders who prioritize health testing demonstrate their commitment towards producing healthy puppies, which enhances their reputation within the community and attracts potential buyers looking for responsibly bred Labradors.
- Contributing to research: Data collected from OFA Elbow testing contributes valuable insights into the prevalence and inheritance patterns of various elbow conditions in Labrador Retrievers, aiding ongoing research efforts aimed at improving canine orthopedic health.
To evoke an emotional response from the audience, consider the following bullet point list highlighting some common challenges faced by Labrador owners when dealing with untreated elbow issues:
- Chronic pain and discomfort
- Limited mobility and difficulty exercising
- Decreased quality of life due to restricted activities
- Emotional distress caused by witnessing their beloved pet’s struggles
Additionally, incorporating a table showcasing statistics related to different elbow conditions in Labradors would further engage the audience and emphasize the significance of OFA Elbow testing:
|Condition||Prevalence (%)||Inheritance Pattern|
|Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)||3-5%||Multifactorial|
|Fragmented Coronoid Process (FCP)||1-2%||Unknown|
|Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP)||<1%||Autosomal Recessive|
In summary, Labrador breeders recognize the importance of OFA Elbow testing to maintain the health and integrity of their breeding program. By prioritizing such tests, breeders can ensure healthy puppies, uphold breed standards, enhance their reputation, and contribute to ongoing research efforts. The emotional impact of untreated elbow issues on Labradors and their owners further emphasizes why responsible breeding practices that include OFA Elbow testing are crucial.
As we move forward into the subsequent section about “Interpreting OFA Elbow Results,” it is essential to understand how these test results provide valuable information for breeders when making informed decisions regarding future breeding plans.
Interpreting OFA Elbow results
Interpreting OFA Elbow results
Understanding the results of an Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) Elbow test is crucial for Labrador breeders in assessing the overall health of their dogs. By interpreting these results, breeders can make informed decisions regarding breeding programs and ensure the production of healthy offspring. Let’s explore how to interpret OFA Elbow results.
One way to interpret OFA Elbow results is by looking at the specific grade assigned to each elbow joint. The grading system ranges from normal (Grade 0) to severely dysplastic (Grade III). For instance, consider a hypothetical case where a Labrador Retriever named Max undergoes an OFA Elbow test, resulting in Grade I left elbow and Grade II right elbow. These grades indicate varying degrees of elbow dysplasia, with higher grades suggesting more severe abnormalities.
To further understand the significance of these grades, it is important to examine what they imply for breeding purposes:
- Breeding suitability: Dogs with normal elbows (Grade 0) are generally considered suitable for breeding without significant risk of passing on hereditary elbow issues.
- Selective breeding: Dogs with mild or moderate dysplasia may still be considered for breeding, but caution should be exercised as there is a greater chance of producing affected offspring.
- Disqualifying factors: Severe cases of elbow dysplasia (Grade III) typically render dogs unsuitable for breeding due to the high likelihood of passing on debilitating conditions.
It is essential for breeders to consult with veterinarians and genetic specialists when interpreting these results and making informed decisions about future breeding plans. Incorporating this information into a comprehensive approach helps promote responsible breeding practices that prioritize the health and well-being of Labrador Retrievers and minimize the prevalence of orthopedic disorders within the population.
In conclusion, understanding how to interpret OFA Elbow results plays a pivotal role in guiding Labrador breeders towards responsible breeding practices. By considering the grades assigned to each elbow joint, breeders can make informed decisions about breeding suitability and minimize the risk of passing on hereditary elbow issues to future generations.

Interpreting OFA Elbow Results for Labrador Breeders
To better understand the implications of OFA elbow testing results, let’s consider a hypothetical case study. Imagine a reputable Labrador breeder, Smithfield Kennels, that regularly conducts health screenings on their breeding dogs. One of their female Labradors, Bella, recently underwent an OFA elbow evaluation and received the rating “Normal.” This result indicates that Bella does not exhibit any signs of elbow dysplasia, a common orthopedic condition in Labradors.
Labrador breeders like Smithfield Kennels prioritize OFA elbow testing due to its numerous benefits. Here are some key reasons why this testing is crucial:
- Quality assurance: By conducting OFA elbow evaluations, breeders can ensure they are producing puppies free from hereditary diseases such as elbow dysplasia.
- Reputation enhancement: Breeding Labradors with excellent elbow ratings helps establish a positive reputation within the dog breeding community and among potential puppy buyers.
- Ethical responsibility: Responsible breeders prioritize the overall health and well-being of their dogs by actively participating in health screening programs like OFA elbows.
- Increased demand: Prospective owners often seek out puppies from breeders who perform comprehensive health tests to minimize the risk of genetic disorders.
Consider the following emotional response-evoking bullet points regarding OFA elbows:
- Protecting future generations of Labradors from unnecessary pain and suffering caused by orthopedic conditions
- Prioritizing the long-term quality of life for each individual puppy produced
- Demonstrating commitment to responsible breeding practices
- Elevating the standard for Labrador retrievers’ genetic health nationwide
Furthermore, we can visualize these emotional responses through a table showcasing statistics related to Labrador breeders who conduct OFA elbow evaluations:
|Breeder Type||Percentage Conducting OFA Elbows|
With a significant percentage of reputable breeders conducting OFA elbow testing, it is evident that they prioritize the health and well-being of Labrador retrievers.
Labrador breeders must consider various factors when deciding whether to pursue OFA elbow evaluations for their breeding dogs. In the subsequent section, we will explore these considerations in detail, providing insights into making informed decisions regarding OFA elbows and its impact on responsible Labrador breeding practices.
Considerations for Labrador breeders regarding OFA Elbows
Transition from the previous section:
Having discussed the benefits of OFA Elbow testing for Labrador breeders, it is important to consider several key factors that should be taken into account when deciding whether or not to pursue this health testing option. By understanding these considerations, breeders can make informed decisions regarding the well-being and future prospects of their Labrador retrievers.
Considerations for Labrador breeders regarding OFA Elbows
One crucial aspect to consider is the potential impact on breeding programs. A hypothetical scenario illustrates this point vividly: Imagine a reputable Labrador breeder who has been diligently working towards producing healthy puppies with excellent conformation. This breeder decides to include OFA Elbow testing as part of their screening process, aiming to reduce the risk of passing on elbow dysplasia traits to future generations. Following multiple rounds of testing across different litters, they discover that some of their otherwise promising breeding dogs are found to have abnormal elbow scores. Consequently, this revelation prompts difficult decisions about whether these dogs should continue participating in the breeding program or be retired early.
To further emphasize the significance of considering OFA Elbows in Labrador breeding strategies, let us explore four key points:
- Enhancing Breed Reputation: Adhering to rigorous health testing protocols such as OFA Elbows bolsters a breeder’s reputation within both the community and potential puppy buyers.
- Reduced Risk: By identifying Labradors with poor elbow scores through proper testing, breeders can minimize the likelihood of perpetuating hereditary conditions associated with elbow dysplasia.
- Ethical Responsibility: Prioritizing the welfare of Labradors by actively participating in comprehensive health screenings demonstrates ethical responsibility towards ensuring healthier offspring.
- Long-Term Goals: Incorporating OFA Elbow testing aids in establishing long-term goals focused on improving overall breed health outcomes and reducing genetic abnormalities.
In addition to considering these key points, it is crucial to analyze the potential financial implications associated with OFA Elbow testing. A table below illustrates a hypothetical scenario comparing the costs involved in two breeding strategies: one that includes comprehensive health screening, including OFA Elbows, and another without such tests.
|Breeding Strategy||Cost of Health Testing||Potential Impact on Puppies’ Sale Price|
|With OFA Elbows||$X,XXX||Higher (Perceived value due to health assurance)|
|Without OFA Elbows||$X||Moderate (Lack of health guarantee may affect demand)|
By examining these factors holistically, Labrador breeders can navigate their way through the decision-making process regarding whether or not to include OFA Elbow testing as part of their overall breeding program strategy.
In summary, when considering OFA Elbows for Labrador breeders, it is essential to evaluate the potential impact on breeding programs while taking into account important factors such as reputation enhancement, risk reduction, ethical responsibility, and long-term goals. Additionally, analyzing the financial aspects associated with health testing provides valuable insights. By making informed decisions based on these considerations, breeders can contribute towards producing healthier generations of Labrador retrievers while ensuring responsible practices within the breeding community.

Is Nature Only for White People?
October 11, 2018 • 7:30 pm PDT
A Zócalo/Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Event
Moderated by Rahawa Haile, Writer and Hiker
In the United States, a large country defined by its greatest natural wonders, engaging with nature is considered essential to good health and civic virtue. But African Americans, while representing 13 percent of the U.S. population, make up just 7 percent of visitors to our national parks; Latinos and Native Americans are similarly underrepresented among park attendees. The leaders and staffs of America’s major nature organizations—from park services to foundations to public agencies—are much whiter than the country as a whole. And studies show that non-whites rarely show up in media images of people in the outdoors. What explains this phenomenon? How much of the problem lies in a lack of access to the wild and to parks, and how much involves historic and present-day barriers? And what changes must be made before the people enjoying America’s natural beauty actually look like America? REI marketing executive Myrian Solis Coronel, Latino Outdoors founder José González, and North Carolina State University environmental sociologist Myron Floyd visit Zócalo to discuss how to diversify access to the natural world.

Despicable Me Coloring Pages
Have you watched the third sequel of one of the most popular animated movies, Despicable Me? I have and I cannot say I’m impressed. I did enjoy it, though not so much. I think the first and original movie - where Gru met the three orphaned kids fro the first time (Agnes, Edith, and Margo) - is the best of the three. While there is still no official word whether Illumination will produce the forth sequel, I do hope that it will turn out for the better. I hate to see it end tragically like Ice Age that has become nothing but a money-grab franchise. The last movie was so corny, it was hardly entertaining. Anyway, Despicable Me 3 did very well in Box Office, even though I think it’s not very extraordinary. Gru trying to prove his worth as an anti-villain agent attempted to seize a super villain Balthazar with the help of his villain-wannabe twin brother, Dru. You should watch it if you haven’t.
Now, if what you want is Despicable Me coloring pages, you can found them in this post. I have managed to gather quite a few of them. You can see almost all characters from the first movie to the third one. The villain and Gru’s rival in the first movie, Vector and Gru’s mad scientist Dr. Nefario, and of course the three little kids adopted by Gru. Characters from the second movie are there too, like Lucy who eventually becomes Gru’s wife and evil minions. I couldn’t find the Mexican muscular daredevil villain, though (what’s his name again?). From the third, movie, you can see Balthazar in his outdated old school fashion outfit and hairdo, and of course, Gru’s twin brother, Dru, with his silky blonde hair that makes Gru can’t be any more jealous. It’ll be a blast to color all of these Despicable Me coloring pages. Go get some for your kids. They’re free for personal use.

Various thoughts and travels
What do you d with a grain elevator and no rail line? From pictures I've seen of the inside of one it's a big machine built to move grain.
I think it would be fun to convert an elevator into a home. I'd put my art studio up at the very top. The view would be amazing!

“Define yourself as one radically loved by God-this is your true self. All other identity is illusion” – Brennan Manning
This quote by Brennan Manning is one of my all-time favorites. For some reason, the phrase “radically loved” just lands differently in my mind. It’s easy to take God’s love for granted the same way my kids take my love for granted. I’m always telling them I love them. They know it and sometimes even give me a playful eye roll if I get too gushy.
God has told us over and over in the Bible how much he loves us. He shows us by providing for even our most basic needs. But do I stop to think about how radically loved I am by God? How do I even try to fathom that the same God who created the universe and all the incredible things in it, thought the world needed one of me too? Let alone that He would come to earth to walk the life I walk, and feel the emotions I feel, to reach into my situation and meet me in my need.
For years I sought my identity from the acceptance of others. I’ve spent so much of my life being a people-pleaser so that I would feel accepted. I would worry all the time about what people thought about what I said or did. Over time, God has helped me see that He is enough. His opinion of me is enough. I could be set free from the winds and waves of people’s fickle emotions and opinions. I no longer needed to fret and worry about what others thought of me. For I learned to rest my identity securely in the hand of my Heavenly Father whose love doesn’t change. For He is love itself. As I leaned into the truth that no matter who chooses to loves me or doesn’t, or who accepts me or not; He always will and He calls me His beloved, His precious child!
Do you struggle with fully accepting how radically loved you are by the God of the universe? Do you define yourself as one loved by God? Please know, dear friend, you are so radically loved by God. You are a beautiful masterpiece created by God himself. Allow this to be what defines you. Let’s us no longer find our identity in the illusions that others or the world would have us believe. Proudly proclaim today, “I am a daughter of a King, a precious child of God!” This is your true identity.
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” ~ 1 John 3:1

Heart Transplant Second Opinion
A heart transplant is an operation in which a failing, diseased heart is replaced with a healthier, donor heart. Heart transplant is a treatment that’s usually reserved for people who have tried medications or other surgeries, but their conditions haven’t sufficiently improved.
Why Heart Transplants are done?
Heart transplants are performed when other treatments for heart problems haven’t worked, leading to heart failure. In adults, heart failure can be caused by several conditions, including:
- A weakening of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy)
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart valve disease
- A heart problem you’re born with (congenital heart defect)
- Dangerous recurring abnormal heart rhythms (ventricular arrhythmias) not controlled by other treatments
- Failure of a previous heart transplant
In children, heart failure is most often caused by either a congenital heart defect or a cardiomyopathy.
Medial Second Opinion from Expert Heart Specialists helps you in,
- Become a more educated healthcare consumer – By seeking a second opinion, you gain more knowledge of your condition and your options. You are more equipped to make informed decisions that can have long-term consequences.
- Confirm that your diagnosis is appropriate – Have all of the appropriate studies and test been completed and interpreted properly? Are there other diagnoses that should be considered?
- Confirm that the recommended treatment is appropriate – Is the treatment plan correct? Is it providing the desired results? Is the treatment plan complete? Have all of the treatment alternatives been discussed?
- Compare outcomes of the treatments you are offered – By obtaining a second opinion, you help ensure that you have been diagnosed appropriately and that you will receive the most appropriate and optimal treatment plan. A second opinion may recommend treatments that may eliminate the need for unnecessary invasive procedures or surgery.

Albino Penis Envy (APE) is definitively the most potent Psilocybe cubensis strain. Many people believe that the strain was first isolated by legendary mycologist and psychonaut Terrence McKenna. Due to this strain’s slow growth speed, the yields are large. Mycologists suggest that its slow growth results in more time for psilocybin production. Its effects include vivid visual stimulation, intense feelings of euphoria, and deep introspection and philosophical thought. This strain is powerful, expect a transformative experience, vision quests, deep shamanic experiences and an intense mystical experience.
Microdose: 50-500 mg
Creative dose: 0.5–1g (test out these doses before taking at work!)
Typical Recreational dose: 2–3g (a full trip dose)
Heroic dose 5-8 g (Do not try this unless you are experienced with psilocybin and have done your research)
God does 10-28 g (Do not try this unless you are experienced with psilocybin and have done your research)

The show proved a success with the audience. Thanks in no small part to the chemistry of it’s two lead stars. The Strong chemistry between Stefanie and Robert on the series that many still wonder if the two stars have ever romantically involved. While the two remain great friends, and also bonded over similar spousal tragedies during the show’s filming. They claim that they have never taken things to the next level. Join Facts Verse as Stefanie Powers confirms the rumors about Hart to Hart co-star Robert Wagner.
Hart to Hart a Family-Friendly Hit
For several years, Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner starred together on the hit television series Hart to Hart. The series came on the air in 1979, and stayed on the air until 1984. The series later revived with a chain of made-for-television features that released over the course of the 1990s. Solidifying the audience’s love for the show’s titular couple. That couple, of course, was the couple of Jonathan and Jennifer Hart. Who were a pair of wealthy socialites that used their connections across the globe to solve mysteries.
Hart to Hart was a hit with audiences for numerous reasons. The show was a major success for the ABC network. And it heightened the celebrity status of stars Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner. In an age where television programs were getting more and more risqué. Hart to Hart represented lighthearted programming that families could enjoy. The romance between Jonathan and Jennifer Hart was more heartwarming than hot. And the on-screen chemistry between the real-life stars that played them was another big part of what made Hart to Hart such a hit with the public.
Though the romance between Jonathan and Jennifer Hart was never too spicy and the program always stayed family friendly. It was clear to fans that the two characters had a strong romantic relationship. And this granted a great deal of heart to Hart to Hart. Of course, another aspect of the series that kept fans coming back for more was the fact that Jonathan and Jennifer were always travelling around the globe attempting to solve a new mystery. The show made up of much more than just a simple romance. And all of these ingredients came together to make it successful. Join Facts Verse as Stefanie Powers confirms the rumors about Hart to Hart co-star Robert Wagner.
Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner Had Great Chemistry
It was not for nothing that Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner had a great deal of chemistry on the screen. As Robert had actually stuck his neck out for Stefanie to get the part of his on-screen wife. The pair had apparently already friendly with each other before Hart to Hart began. Though they both married to other people at the time. In fact, both Stefanie and Robert would suffer significant spousal tragedies over the course of Hart to Hart’s production. And this would cause them to become even greater friends during the show’s run. Despite the fact that Stefanie and Robert already friends when the show began and only got closer during it’s filming. The two maintain that they have never romantically involved.
As compared to on-screen wife Stefanie Powers, Robert Wagner the older and more notable star upon Hart to Hart’s premiere. And he who had been cast in the program first. Initially, producers wanted to cast Robert Wagner opposite his real-life wife. Who was a fellow Hollywood star by the name of Natalie Wood. The producers understandably felt that Robert would have a good deal of chemistry with his real-life partner. Though Robert felt that his on-screen chemistry would be better with Stefanie.
Robert ended up convincing the producers that Stefanie Powers was the right actress to play his on-screen wife on Hart to Hart, and the rest is history! It would be hard for fans to imagine anyone besides Stefanie in the role of Jennifer Hart. Though it would certainly have been interesting to have seen Natalie Wood’s take on the part. Tragically, Natalie Wood ended up passing away during Hart to Hart’s run. In fact, some viewers may already know that Natalie Wood passed away under mysterious circumstances. And the true cause of her death remains a mystery to this day. Join Facts Verse as Stefanie Powers confirms the rumors about Hart to Hart co-star Robert Wagner.
Hart to Hart Won Audiences Over
According to Stefanie Powers, Hart to Hart didn’t become a smash success over the course of one night. The actress claims that the moment she realized that the television audience was truly fond of the show was when it won the People’s Choice Award for New TV Drama in 1980. The cheers of the fans made Stefanie realize that the show was truly catching on with people, and the ratings soon followed suit! Sadly, Stefanie would come to face her own spousal tragedy over the course of the show’s production.
And both she and Robert would be forced to carry out their time on the series despite their grief. If you’re enjoying this video so far, be sure to hit the like button to show your support!

Stefanie and Robert Are Still Close Friends
Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner were friends before Hart to Hart started filming, and they are still friends to this day! Despite this, the two once again maintain that they have never been anything more than close friends. According to Stefanie, they are like a pair of siblings that are always making each other laugh. Following the tragic death of wife Natalie Wood in 1981, Robert went on to marry former Bond girl Jill St. John in 1990. This is one of many small connections that Robert has to the James Bond franchise.
In addition to Robert Wagner marrying former Bond girl Jill St. John in 1990, Robert’s former wife was also the sister of a former Bond girl. Natalie Wood’s sister is Lana Wood, who played a Bond girl alongside Sean Connery in 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever. Which also just so happened to be the very same movie that Jill St. John played a Bond girl in! To make matters even stranger, Robert Wagner. Despite being an American actor, had once offered the chance to play the role of James Bond, but he turned it down. Despite turning down the role of James Bond, Robert would go on to appear as the character of Number 2 in all three of the Austin Powers films, which are James Bond parodies. Join Facts Verse as Stefanie Powers confirms the rumors about Hart to Hart co-star Robert Wagner.
Robert Wagner is still with Jill St. John today, with the actor being 92 years old. Stefanie Powers is currently 79 years old. And she’s been single since divorcing second husband Patrick De La Chenais in 1999. Robert lives with his wife in Aspen, Colorado, but it appears that he and Jill get together with Stefanie whenever they’re in Beverly Hills.
Stefanie and Robert Were Like Siblings During Filming
Stefanie Powers claims that sometimes she and Robert Wagner would make themselves laugh so much during the filming of Hart to Hart that they’d have to postpone filming for the day. The pair certainly had incredibly chemistry, and new audience members are still experiencing Hart to Hart for the first time today. The show has become popular in reruns in recent years. And the chemistry between Stefanie and Robert holds up on the screen as much as in real life.
While Robert Wagner married to Natalie Wood at the time that Hart to Hart came on the air, Stefanie Powers married to actor William Holden. The very same month that Natalie Wood passed away, William Holden did, as well. Natalie Wood was 43 years old at the time of her death and drowned under mysterious circumstances. Meanwhile, William Holden was a 63-year-old alcoholic who died from apparently tripping while at home and hitting his head.
The loss of their spouses was hard to deal with for both Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner. Though they were contractually obligated to continue performing their titular roles on Hart to Hart. The pair’s friendship helped them cope through the production. And they ended up bonding through the shared trauma and becoming better friends than ever before by the time that the series was done filming.
How Stefanie Powers Feels About Natalie Wood’s Death
Those who are familiar with the story of Natalie Wood will know that Robert Wagner eventually became a notable person of interest in the case of his wife’s mysterious death. Many, including aforementioned sister Lana Wood, maintain that Robert was at least partially culpable in Natalie’s death. Stefanie has often been asked about whether or not she thinks that Robert had any hand in Natalie’s death. And she maintains that he couldn’t have. According to her, anyone claiming so is just trying to get some attention.
Being blamed by many for the death of his wife made it even harder for Robert Wagner to cope after Natalie Wood’s passing. But Stefanie Powers was there alongside him on the set of Hart to Hart to help him pick up the pieces. The death of her own spouse left Stefanie in similarly strange circumstances. As not everyone viewed her all that sympathetically in the wake of William Holden’s death. Stefanie and William were still technically married at the time of William’s passing. But they had been separated for a period of a few years.
Many felt that Stefanie wasn’t there for her husband in his final days. And were skeptical when she tried to garner sympathy in the presses after his death. Despite this, Stefanie Powers still does work with the William Holden Wildlife Foundation, which she established in 1982 in honor of her late husband. Her work with the foundation often sees the 79-year-old actress travelling to Kenya.
Although Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner were already friends before Hart to Hart’s premiere and only became closer over the course of the hit series’ production. The two maintain that they have never been romantically involved. Now it’s time to hear from you: did you know that Hart to Hart stars Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner both lost their spouses in November of 1981. And that bonding through their respective losses helped the two become closer friends than ever over the course of the series’ production?

If you have an eye for detail, enjoy event planning, and can keep a cool head during stressful situations, then the wedding industry might be just right for you. The wedding industry is booming with nearly 3 million weddings happening every year in the United States alone. It is also a highly rewarding career choice to play a major role in a couple’s big day. If you think the wedding industry might be right for you, you can get your start with these three steps.
Build a Network
Careers in hospitality require a solid network of vendors, suppliers, and contacts. This is especially true in the wedding industry. Weddings require a host of different skill sets, and having contacts for each of them will give your business a head start. As you build your network, look for caterers, florists, DJs, musicians, and more. Your relationships with other skilled professionals in the industry will make your business stand out. It’s also helpful to have people you trust to refer to your clients. Furthermore, your contacts should be able to get you some good referrals as well.
Decide Your Focus
Next, you need to decide on your area of focus. If you want to be involved in the entire process you should consider becoming a wedding planner or event coordinator. Event coordinators help people throughout the planning process of their weddings. Otherwise, you can narrow your niche. Maybe you want to do catering. You might be interested in providing the alcohol. Maybe you are a talented interior designer and would rather focus on the decor. Or, photography might be more your thing. All of these niches can offer lucrative careers.
Spread the Word
Now that you have your game plan it is time to get the word out. The wedding industry is highly dependent on word of mouth and personal references, so start with the people you know. You can offer your services at a discounted rate to friends and family and ask them to spread the word. Social media is a great way to get your name out there for free. You can also ask wedding gown shops and tuxedo rental companies if you can advertise at their business.
The wedding industry is fast-paced, diverse, and rewarding. It does, however, take some self-marketing. Get your name out there at every opportunity. With time, you should be able to grow your business beyond what you ever thought possible.

Almost every single person on this planet has played Angry Birds. It is one of the most popular mobile games. By 2015, it became the most downloaded game series of all time. Rovio Entertainment released Angry Birds Entertainment in 2011. In 2014, the game had over 1 billion downloads. It is regarded as one of the top games of all time. After winning a mobile game development competition, Rovio Entertainment was founded by Niklas Hed, Jarno Väkeväinen and Kim Dikert in 2003. Before the release of Angry Birds, Rovio was on the verge of bankruptcy. The company had fired almost all of the employees, with only 12 left. After 51 failed games, they finally released Angry Birds and tasted success. Here’s Rovio Entertainment’s inspiring success story.
Rovio’s history and struggles
In 2003, three friends from the Helsinki University of Technology, Niklas Hed, Jarno Väkeväinen and Kim Dikert, took part in a mobile game development competition. The trio won the competition with a game called King of the Cabbage World. This led them to create their company called Relude. They eventually sold their game to Sumea, a video game developer. In 2005, Relude received its first investment and changed its name to Rovio Mobile. For the next two years, the company released quite a number of games but they failed to gain recognition. Rovio faced competition from big game developers such as EA, Namco, and more.
In 2007, the company began to sink. They were on the verge of bankruptcy and fired almost all of their employees. During this time, Apple released the iPhone and the smartphone industry boomed. The founders saw this as an opportunity to create a game that could excite the masses. With a very low budget, they started working on Angry Birds. After completing the game, they struggled to sell their application. Finally, in 2011 Apple decided to put the game upon its App Store. After that, there was no looking back. After 51 failed games, Rovio created Angry Birds and achieved success.
Rovio’s success story
Within six months, Angry Birds reached the number 1 spot in the Apple App Store. In 2014, the app had over two billion downloads. After ANgry Birds’ success, Rovio released the Angry Birds series which also became very popular. In 2017, the company did $201 million in gross revenue. Angry Birds is still considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time. The characters have been referenced in several television shows all around the world. Currently, 480 people work at Rovio Entertainment. In 2020, the company did €47.2 million in gross revenue. Several developers have tried to copy Angry Birds but have been unsuccessful.
Rovio Entertainment’s success story is very inspiring. The founders never gave up on their dreams and worked hard to keep the company afloat. Hard work is the key to success. It teaches us determination, dedication, and passion. Secondly, we should always learn from our mistakes and learn from them. Rovio also faced several hurdles during the initial stages. However, they never gave up. With more than 4.5 billion downloads and the top app in more than 68 countries, the company’s unparalleled success can be attributed to hard work and its ability to innovate under immense pressure.
When was Rovio Entertainment founded?
It was founded in 2003 by Niklas Hed, Jarno Väkeväinen and Kim Dikert.

During this exciting time, our campus becomes open to many people, so #SafeFalcons, a registered student organization at SAU that focuses on health and safety, thought it would be a great idea to host a panel discussion focusing on safety.
The discussion will be held on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 11 a.m. in Seby Jones auditorium.
To gain more insight on this event, The Falcon Forum spoke to DrApril McCoy, an assistant professor in the Department of Public Health and Exercise Science who serves as the faculty advisor to #SafeFalcons.
When asked what sparked the idea of the safety panel, Dr. McCoy said the idea came about from a conversation between her and Jeydri Urbina, a senior communications major.
Q: How did the idea for the safety panel come about?
A: It was an idea between Jeydri, who serves as the president for #SafeFalcons. She and I were talking about doing something for Homecoming in reference to educating the students about safety. I mentioned that FYE would be a great group since they’re all freshmen and they’re new to this experience. We then spoke to Dr. [Cynthia] Love, [director of professional development]. She was on board so from there we gathered our panel.
Q: Who does the panel include?
A: Jeydri, a few more peer health educators, Jonathon Guerra, who is the director of student activities, [representatives from campus] Public Safety, and myself.
Q: Is the panel open to all the student body or just to freshmen?
A: It’s open to all the students; we just targeted the FYE classes because it was an easier audience to target being that they are the most vulnerable especially during Homecoming because they are still new to college life but, yes, all students are welcome to attend.
Q: Following this year’s Homecoming would you like to make this a tradition?
A: Yes! I would love to make it a tradition because I feel it’s needed. …We’re going to have a lot of people on campus that don’t go here, as well as alumni and people from the community…“I want to inform students not only on being safe during Homecoming but for other things as well — for example, if they’re walking to Cookout or the corner store. So yes, I feel like this should be an annual thing.

Aftermath of the Learmoth Family Massacre
It was only a month ago when one of the greatest tragedies in the west side took place. The massacre of the Learmoth family. A respected family with a long and prestigious lineage. A noble family who put their vast wealth into research pertaining to maintaining the health and vibrancy of the well to do. Yet no amount of wealth or good work could protect them from the horror within their own home. A horror in the form of Carrie Lurcell.
The once loyal servant snuck into the rooms of Lord and Lady Learmoth and their two children and murdered them in a most grisly fashion. Coating the floor with their organs. When the authorities finally arrived, Carrie was found covered in blood with no apparent memory of the event. Screaming to the officers about her innocence.
As news reporters, we did our due diligence and speculated on what could have caused this brutality. Was she a former mistress that was shunned by lord Learmoth? Was she paid by another noble to kill the lord? Was her lower class blood enraged by a perceived slight?
It was at her trial however where her true nature came to light. One moment she was standing before the judge, claiming she knew nothing of the incident. The next, her manner changed into that of a child. And in the voice of a child, described with glee the manner in which she slaughtered the family. Once she was done, she returned to her former self. Staring confused at the various people staring in shock around her.
Although clearly insane, it was determined that a woman capable of slaughtering her betters in such a manner was clearly a danger to society. There would be no stint at a insane asylum for her. All that awaited her was death by hanging.
Although their lives were cruelly ended, there legacy will continue in the form of lord Sheridan. Who has chosen to continue Lord Learmoth’s donations into that particular branch of medical research.
“Lord Learmoth and I have had many disagreements but I respected the man. To see him so cruelly taken was a injustice of the highest order. But the greatest injustice would be to not let his work continue. He was on the cusp of something grand and I can only hope that with my resources I can finish what he started.”
The hanging of Carrie Lurcell shall be tomorrow evening at 5pm. Be sure to arrive early for a good place to watch justice be done.

I Know Everything - Chapter 341
Chapter 341: Team Conflict.
When the Lakers arrived in Huhai, they received a much grander welcome than the Rockets that came five hours earlier.
The Rockets, who lost Big Yao, recently placed at the second place in the Western Conference in the regular season last season with Harden at the helm, one of the Thunder’s big four. They only lost to the later Champion Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
But their future was hopeful.
Howard, their new addition to the team, was a superstar that could lead a team to the finals a few years ago.
Although he was only half as good as before due to injuries, half a Howard was still a very good player.
In addition, they had Harden that already established himself.
The 26 years old player had an unlimited future and was somewhat already a top 3 shooting guard in the league.
With those two superstars playing together, even if it wasn’t as good as Big Yao and Tracy McGrady, they still received a warm welcome from the fans in Huhai.
Big Yao personally came to welcome them and took them to the hotel as well as had a party with them.
For that reason, Big Yao missed the Lakers that came a few hours later and didn’t see Kobe and Iverson.
But it couldn’t be helped.
Big Yao was from the Rockets, he couldn’t abandon his mother’s team to go welcome the two Lakers’ superstars, right?
It didn’t matter as thousands of Lakers fans went to welcome that and it was like giving the Lakers the home team treatment.
“Kobe, are you trying to screw with me?” The general manager Kupchak was sweating while squeezing out a smile to greet the fans on one side while feeling like crying on the other side, “Such a big matter, what didn’t you talk to me about it sooner? And this Chen… Chen Huan is that impressive? He doesn’t even come to the US for the trial and think he already has the skills to play in the NBA and become your right hand man?”
The grand general manager of the Lakers only heard of it from Buss Junior right before he went on the plane.
Buss Junior said that Kobe wanted to sign a Chinese player who was a genius that even MJ appreciated.
He wanted Kupchak to check it out, watch him play the two pre-season games and sign him if he was good.
The team didn’t lack the money anyway and Kobe’s demand must be met even if he was aging.
If he wasn’t good, just give him a contract of 1 million and take him as trash that never sees the floors.
Kupchak almost cried.
Was he as the general manager being ignored?
Only telling him at the end who they wanted to sign and even having him to participate in their pre-season games… was this a joke?
The games would be broadcasted live and if he was trash, wouldn’t he take the blame?
Could they even say it was Kobe who was blind?
The blind one could only be him!
In order for him to not be roasted by people every day, he could only pester Kobe about it to know more about Chen Huan before he could make a decision.
“You’re about to see him, I’ll introduce him to you later.” Kobe was a little annoyed but he told this to Kupchak just before they got on the bus.
“Where?” Kupchack asked.
“Training center.” Kobe’s answers were always that simple.
Iverson at the front turned his head back and said, “Hey, Mike, don’t worry, he won’t let you down! He’s someone both Kobe and I vetoed, what do you have to worry about?”
Kupchak let out a sigh and decided to stop talking to those two guys for now.
The group of the players nearby also heard for the first time that a new teammate might join and they all had different expressions.
Especially Louis Williams and D’Angelo Russell.
They didn’t have to worry about anything at the beginning.
Last season’s best sixth man was Louis Williams and the Lakers in July decided to give him a 3 years 21 million contract that he signed.
D’Angelo Russell was even more expressive as he was the second in the draft and was only 19 years old. The Lakers gave him a four year 23.02 million contract when they drafted him and groomed him as Kobe’s successor.
The two of them were the main force when Kobe was out during the season.
The two originally were going to be the main helpers of Kobe and the newly joined Iverson so they worked very hard for the upcoming season but unexpectedly, the first pre-season game didn’t start yet and there was suddenly a Chinese player that came out from who knows where and he was a guard.
He could play both shooting guard and point guard.
(Kobe-AI-Chen Huan, the lack of size on that line up is too much, I remember Chen Huan was around 6ft, how the f̲u̲c̲k̲ is he going to play shooting guard?)
Those weren’t a problem, the problem was that Chinese player was recommended by Kobe and Iverson!
When they would start playing, would they have more minutes or would the Chinese player have more minutes?
On the NBA court, the minutes played determined the players’ status in the team and it also represented the size of their contracts in the future as well as glory so this was unacceptable.
But the two of them added up weren’t as good as either Kobe or Iverson so how could they voice out?
They could only hold on to their dissatisfaction and see how good that Chinese player was.
If the skills were not bad… tsk, what about skills? Could the athletics of Chinese people match theirs?
No matter how good his skills were, he’ll fly with just a hit!
Those Chinese players who came to the NBA a few years ago, didn’t all leave the NBA in a sorry state?
The general manager felt conflicted.
The players were curious and wary.
Coach Byron Scott felt a bit embarrassed.
He was the head coach and a famous NBA championship-level superstar but Kobe and Iverson didn’t give any respect at all. They didn’t ask for his opinion when getting a player, wasn’t that looking down on him?
But Byron Scott didn’t get angry.
Because his performance last season was too bad. The Lakers seemed to have lost their souls without Kobe and didn’t even make into the playoffs.
Without good results, what qualification did he have to be angry?
If it was Don Nelson, Popovich, Pat Riley or another championship level coach, even if he was Kobe, he would be scolded to the ground.
But Byron Scott swore in his mind that he would not give any face to that Chinese player if he wasn’t good enough.
Kobe, who returned from injury, and the newly added Iverson all shined in front of his eyes and made him feel like they were still in their peak.
If he used them well, it would be possible to get into the Western Conference Finals!
His job at the Lakers would stabilize as long as he could get those results.
For that objective, he couldn’t let some no name random player to get in, it would worsen the team’s morale!
It was like that.
Admits the Lakers’ nervousness, anxiety, curiosity, irritation etc…The Lakers went to clean themselves up in their hotel they booked before going to the training ground without any pause.

Note: You must read the previous seven AMBER CHRONICLES before picking this one up. Expect spoilers for those previous books in this review.
Sign of Chaos (1987) is book eight in Roger Zelazny’s ten-book AMBER CHRONICLES. It starts right where book seven, Blood of Amber, ended: with Merlin and his frenemy Luke in the midst of an LSD drug trip that has conjured up the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. (Zelazny delights in literary allusions. Expect plenty of Lewis Carroll, Shakespeare, Kuttner & Moore, as well as Arthurian legend and Celtic mythology.)
When Merlin finally escapes Wonderland, he is once again plunged into the political and personal machinations of his extended family, including step-brothers and half-brothers, a couple of bastards, and some people who will undoubtedly be revealed in the future as also somehow related to Merlin. (Oh what a tangled web we weave when our grandfather has apparently slept with every eligible and ineligible woman in Amber over the course of centuries.)
At this point in the series, Merlin’s tale has devolved into a blur of pointless boring plot twists involving constantly fluctuating alliances, people who can shape shift and end up being any other character in the book, sorcerers who can cast illusions, revelations about who’s related to who, dead characters who suddenly show up again, etc. It’s a really bad soap opera with few redeeming qualities. The only bright spots are Ghostwheel, the sentient computer which is getting a bit philosophical, and a queen who has been petrified and is now being used as a coatrack in Merlin’s room.
Oh, and Wil Wheaton’s valiant attempt to make something of this mess by delivering a terrific audio performance in Audible Studios’ version. It’s only 6 hours long (thank God!). If Wheaton hadn’t been reading to me, I surely would have given up on Sign of Chaos.
Sign of Chaos ends with the cheesiest of cliffhangers, yet one so compelling that I’ve got to pick up the next book, Knight of Shadows. (You can’t see me, but please know that I am hanging my head in shame.)
The Chronicles of Amber — (1970-1991) Publisher: Awakening in an Earth hospital unable to remember who he is or where he came from, Corwin is amazed to learn that he is one of the sons of Oberon, King of Amber, and is the rightful successor to the crown in a parallel world.

When you are not able to determine the historical cost of capital assets owned by a governmental unit, the following procedure should be followed.
- Develop an inventory of all capital assets which are significant for which records of the historical costs are not available.
- Obtain an estimate of the replacement costs of these assets.
- Through inquiry determine the year or approximate year of acquisition.
- Then multiply the estimated replacement cost by the factor for the year of acquisition from the Table of Cost Indexes – page 4 (Updated each year in bulletin articles). The resulting amount will be the estimated cost of the asset.
The estimated replacement cost in some cases can be obtained from insurance policies.
However, if estimated replacement costs are not available from insurance policies, you should obtain or make an estimate of the replacement costs.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., on Wednesday pressed Attorney General Merrick Garland to provide an explanation for his pondering at the back of a debatable 2021 memorandum directing the Justice Department to analyze violent threats to university body of workers.
The wondering got here throughout the Senate Judiciary Committee’s “Oversight of the Department of Justice” listening to.
“Didn’t you understand the chilling effect that it would have [on] parents when you issued your directive? When you directed your criminal and counterterrorism divisions to investigate parents who were angry at school boards and administrators during COVID?” Kennedy requested.
Garland driven again, pronouncing his directive clarified that oldsters’ First Amendment rights had been safe. The legal professional normal prominent between those that threatened college board individuals with violence, and people who simply complained to their college board.
AG GARLAND CLAIMS FBI HAS PUT ‘FULL RESOURCES’ INTO TRACKING ATTACKS ON PRO-LIFE CENTERS, DESPITE FEW ARRESTS
“And [the directive] came in the context of a whole series of other kinds of violent threats and violence against other public officials,” Garland mentioned.
Angry folks, lashing out in school board conferences around the nation, captured headlines for far of 2021. Many had been bored to death with COVID-19 restrictions and their damaging affects on their kid’s schooling.
The National School Boards Association despatched President Biden a letter in September 2021 equating the movements of a few folks as “a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”
Less than every week later, Garland wrote a one-page memo to the FBI, workplaces for U.S. legal professionals, and the DOJ’s Criminal Division to inform officers that the company would “use its authority and resources to identify threats at school board meetings against faculty, and “prosecute them when suitable.” The word “mum or dad” was never mentioned in the document.
CRUZ, ROY DEMAND ANSWERS FROM GARLAND ON FBI ALLEGEDLY SECRETLY RECORDING PROGRESSIVE ANTI-ABORTION GROUP
“What did you suppose was once going to occur?” Kennedy asked Garland on Wednesday.
The Louisiana Republican challenged Garland’s assertion that the memo was intended to prevent threats of violence and not investigate “offended folks.”

“This is concerning the 3rd I’m being requested about the similar memorandum. And every time I’ve mentioned, and I am hoping that the senators would move forward and advise their constituents in the similar approach that this isn’t what we do,” Garland said. “We don’t seem to be by any means looking to intrude with folks making proceedings concerning the schooling in their kids.”

Last September, a federal judge threw out a lawsuit from Virginia and Michigan parents who sued Garland over the memo. Trump-appointed Judge Dabney Friedrich wrote, “the coverage does now not label any person a home terrorist, because the plaintiffs counsel.”
Fox News’ David Spunt and Brooke Singman contributed to this report.

Everything But The Cake
Doubtless there are some for whom the word 'Kendal' cannot exist in isolation, not conjoined to "Mint Cake". If you are one such, prepare to be disappointed: for not a crumb is to be had in the following. Moreover, in the interest of fairness and equality, I must stress that I shall not be mentioning Christmas cake, Victoria sponge cake, Simnel cake, Battenberg cake; there will be no chocolate cake, no coffee and walnut cake, no carrot cake, no lemon drizzle cake. None.
So what am I going to talk about then?
Well, as many of you will have noticed, the blog supply has been a bit sparse this last year or so, despite things getting a lot closer to normal again after Covid. A large part of that was down to us needing to spend much more time with Amanda's mother in what turned out to be her final year, and since then, we've been having to do a fair bit sorting out her affairs. Technically the executorship was shared between Amanda and one of her sisters, but Dinah quickly realised she was out of her depth and agreed that she'd be more of a hindrance than a help, and took a step back.
Fortunately, amongst our good friends are an accountant (hi, Sarah!) and the right sort of lawyer (hi, Jan!), because while Amanda is a lawyer, this isn't her personal sphere of expertise. So we've done what needs to be done, collected the right information to send to the right people, and now Amanda has to sign some documents in person. Jan and Amanda were colleagues in London when they first met, but she moved to the Lake District many years ago and now works at an office in Kendal, so we are going to mix business with pleasure and spend a few days up there.
We think about driving up, and then very rapidly think about getting the train instead. Even though we have to make several changes: home to Waterloo, tube to Euston, main line to Oxenholme, local service to Kendal, the train is still noticeably quicker. It's a bit more expensive, but not hugely so when you consider it's the best part of a tank of petrol each way. And it's a lot more relaxing too, as the M25, M40 and M6 are all pretty horrible.
So, Friday morning, off we go. A few very civilised hours later, here we are...
Hmm... I'm not entirely certain his intentions are honourable! And it must be said that "magnificent" is not a word I would normally put in the same sentence as "golf". But let's try to be open minded. "Splendid walks" and "beautiful scenery" are good.
Jan's office is part of a renovated former factory. The Cumbria County History Trust tells us that "Hosiery knitting, established by E W Thompson & Sons, in 1878 at [...] Bridge Mills, Stramongate (‘the sock mill’)" was its previous life! (See web page.)
Bet you didn't know that there were awards just for probate law! I certainly didn't. But I think it means we've chosen wisely.
So to business: I had never realised how much paperwork it takes to die. I am now quite convinced that immortality must be easier!
Anyway, duty done, we will take a stroll along the river to our B&B.
A curiously ecclesiastical-looking terrace... Later digging reveals it was built as a chapel with almshouses in 1887. Seems a pity that it didn't quite manage its century, as services were last held in 1986 before it was converted into housing.
It's not quite so stylish on our side of the river: a somewhat run-down looking council estate!
Some fine gargoyles adorn Kendal Parish Church. We do like a good Gothicky bit. The church isn't open after 4pm, but we might check it out again tomorrow or Sunday.
And here's our B&B. It was surprisingly hard to find somewhere within reasonable walking distance of the town centre that wasn't already fully booked. Apparently, even though it's a long way from peak tourist season, spring weekends are very popular with those who would prefer to avoid the school holiday periods. Oh dear, that sounds rather like us.
Glenholme is clean and comfortable enough, and Glynis, the owner, is very welcoming. Don't be in a rush, though, because she does like to chat!
Jan's going to be picking us up and we're going out to a pub for dinner later. She thinks it'll be difficult to park here - and indeed it is - so she'll park just across the road in the College car park, which all works out fine.
Pub grub at the Hare and Hounds. They have rooms too, but were one of the many places we couldn't get into. That said, if we had we would have needed a taxi to get anywhere, as it's twenty minutes or so drive from town.
My beer is a pint of Lancaster Blonde, and I'm slightly disappointed they don't have a York Brunette for me to compare. Although, thinking about it, the Duchess of York is a ginger, and if nobody makes York Ginger Ale, perhaps they're missing a trick?
Amanda has a small pizza; I have a large one, which is just plain greedy as it turns out, but you never know quite what "large" and "small" mean until you see them on the plate. Jan's gone for a burger. It's all very tasty and decent value, and it's a nice location with good staff, so we could certainly consider a return visit in future.
After this, I suppose we could party the night away, but we don't. We're planning a bit of an early start - well, silly early by my standards, almost late by Amanda's - to go walking with Jan around Ullswater.
And so to bed.
Initially, we'd hoped for nice weather, and walking in the hills, but Plan B is to cross the lake by boat and walk back along the shore. Well, near the shore at any rate: we're told the path is a bit hilly in places, and apparently this sometimes surprises people who think the lakeside walk will all be at sea level. But since we reckon the Lake District is at least as hilly if not more than the Hilly District - err, sorry, I mean the Peak District - we are fine with this.
Our boat is called "Lady of the Lake", but that deer definitely looks a bit staggy to me. Not that I claim any particular expertise, but we have deer in our local parks and a bit of web research quickly tells me that "reindeer are the only species in which the females also grow antlers". Is this the work of a zoologically challenged brand manager or is it a noble stand for trans rights? I'm afraid I'm going with the former.
Ahead is Howtown, although "town" is definitely stretching the definition to breaking point. We're going to disembark there and walk back, and although there's another dozen or so people on the boat, nobody else gets off here. We know that at least one couple we've been chatting to are on a coast-to-coast walk, so they won't be going backwards like us, but I have a definite suspicion that a fair few of our fellow passengers are just going to stay on the boat to the far end and back again.
This, incidentally, is the sort of thing we should be seeing if JMW Turner is to be believed. Did he have better weather, or is a certain amount of artistic licence involved?
Howtown, here we are! That hut that looks a bit like a ticket office isn't. It's more like a bus shelter, except there are no buses. It's precise raison d'être is not clear.
Ullswater Way is calling!
We look back at our departing boat.
The boat company is called Ullswater 'Steamers', and the scare-quotes are for good reason: these boats don't have steam engines at all! But once upon a time...
Launched on 26th June 1877, Ullswater ‘Steamers’ Lady of the Lake is believed to be the oldest working passenger boat in the UK.
So we learn from the company's page about their boats.
We all know our Wordsworth, don't we:
I wandered lonely as a cloud
Well first of all, there are no lonely clouds here. They are bloody well mobbing the place! And if that's a host, I'm holding a bleedin' soirée!
So I'm starting to get a bit of cognitive dissonance. Painting? Poetry? They seem to be needing some quite vigorous imagination. Perhaps fortunately, I can't immediately find any famous composers or compositions inspired by the Lake District, so I don't have to compare the sound of raindrops splashing on my jacket with the bassoon fantasia from Hildegard of Bingen's "lacus regionis boogaloogus". [I may have made that last bit up.]
More 'atmosphere', and those two little dots are paddleboarders. The weather may not be photogenic, but there's no wind and the water is offering barely a ripple. Yesterday we gather that the boat service had to be cancelled because of the strength of the wind, but today we're pretty much in millpond land.
Sheepie! With baa-lambs!
[You can tell we're proper grown-ups.]
More sheepies! With more baa-lambs.
[I know, I know, you're expecting me to be expounding on dramatic instances of philosophy and theology crashing into each other's realm, such as the Euthyphro Dilemma, and here I am distracted by Ovis aries. Well this deep stuff isn't as easy as you think!]
[And while I'm digressing, I've noticed that the more intellectually gifted amongst insistently religious folks will often say to the skeptical in a rather scathing tone, "You think you're the first person to think of XXX?" and refer back to some ancient work, such as Plato's Euthyphro. Trouble is, it doesn't seem to occur to them that if they've been thinking about something for literally(!) two and a half thousand years, and they haven't come up with an answer they can agree on among themselves, never mind persuade anyone else, that maybe it suggests that some underlying assumption might just be false...?]
Considering that the lake itself has been so still, it's a touch surprising how vigorous the many streams that flow into it are.
Apropos of nothing: we meet some people taking a rest from walking. They have a dog sitting on a rock looking cute. I'm sorry if you want to know more about the people.
This rocky slope wasn't a rocky slope until Storm Desmond in 2005, we understand.
Near the end of the trail, looking back at the path behind us. We've actually had a very fine walk, despite the weather: it's not been great, but it's not been totally horrible either. Ullswater and the surrounding hills manage to look good even despite that.
You can't easily read it here, but the text is:
J M W Turner
were inspired by this landscape
I can almost imagine the less well known Ann and John crying out, "Shift your ass, Turner! Just because you're famous and we're not doesn't mean you're not in the way!"
I'm inspired to be artistic. I think I might call this, "Composition with dry stone wall and moss (hills in the background)", or is that too literal? Perhaps, "How my mother cooked eggs", or, "Oysters don't watch Netflix", or am I getting my Romantics mixed up with my Surrealists now?
Our heroes descend from the mountains through Side Farm, which modestly describes itself as "Perhaps the most scenically placed campsite in England". There are more sheep here as well, but you'll have to use your imagination. No more sheep pictures (unless they are really really good sheep).
Funnily enough, on the 7th of May we shall be getting ready to go cycling, but there'll only be two of us, and it will be in Spain, in that well-known-for-being-flat part of the world called the Pyrenees.
Jan drops us at the parish church I mentioned earlier, so we can take a look inside, and we then plan to have a little stroll around town and up to the castle. A sign outside the church proclaims it to be the widest in England! On entry, we're accosted (in the nicest possible way) by a little man whose job appears to be welcoming tourists and telling them about the place.
The building dates back at least as far as 1190, as the list of vicars attests. (In that year, in the reign of Richard I, the vicar was the rather splendidly named Acard de Kirkebi-Kendale. I note also that John Bryant, who became vicar in 1439, got through no fewer than five kings! Henry VI, Edward IV, Edward V, Richard III and Henry VII. Their reigns can't have lasted much longer than Shakespeare's plays about some of them.)
This stainless steel sculpture is a bit more modern, though, 1968 in fact, and dedicated to the memory of some 16th Century chappie called Bernard Gilpin. According to Wikipedia, he was "an Oxford theologian and then an influential clergyman in the emerging Church of England spanning the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Jane, Mary and Elizabeth I". They certainly whipped through their monarchs a lot faster than we do these days. Oh, and "He was known as the 'Apostle of the North' for his work in the wilds of northern England." I think Kendal is rather less wild now than perhaps it was five hundred years ago.
It's a sign!
Merilyn is running the London Marathon tomorrow, and will be hoping to keep up with the 3:45 pacer, whose name is... Jeremiah! [Spoiler alert: she does. Well done!]
The church has an excellent website, with much interesting detail about its history which you can find here.
On the other side of the river is Kendal Castle.
Ah, it's definitely seen better days. Oh well.
Wikipedia tells us that "Rinteln is a small town in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is located on the banks of the Weser river above the Porta Westfalica." While I'm sure you don't need to be told what and where New York and Mount Everest are, the town's connection with them is less clear. The fourth arm is for Scafell Pike, 21 miles away, which is the highest mountain in England, so I suppose there's some kind of symmetry there. (For reference, the peak of Scafell Pike is 978m above sea level, while Everest is just a tad higher, at 8849m.)
Unfortunately, it seems the actual directions are completely wrong and the town council have not seen fit to explain the logic, if any, behind it.
We do a little shopping and head back to the B&B. We've decided we probably won't have the energy to go out to dinner by the time we've showered and put clean clothes on, and in any case, we've not seen anywhere nearby we really like the look of that much, so we've just bought a selection of sushi from Booths to eat in our room. Glynis provides plates and cutlery in a drawer, so clearly it's not an uncommon choice for her guests.
And look what I found. Local gin with local tonic: the company is based only a mile away!
And in the morning, it's back to London. The trip is uneventful except that I manage to lose my smartphone, which is annoying, However, since I am not a Millennial or Gen Z and clinically dependent on it, it's not a disaster. I call Northern Rail to make a lost property report, and we'll see if it turns up. Wherever it is, nobody's answering it. [STOP PRESS: Friday afternoon, I have just received an email saying it's been found and they just need to work out how to reunite us.]
Anyway, that's our short trip to the Lake District done, and it's April and the first blog of 2023! [Chile is filed under 2022 although it did spill into the new year.] How time flies when you're doing probate!
Love to all,

If there were cameras in biblical times, would people believe the true power of God? Would we judge the characters, brush them off and
say that they were delusional and didn’t hear from God? Kayne West’s life is a true testament of what hope, faith and resilience is in the modern world.
Filmmakers Coodie & Chike believe that Jesus Christ has always guided rapper Kanye West despite his sometimes erratic and questionable behavior. They hope their new Netflix documentary “Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye West Trilogy” will inspire others to tap into what God is leading them to do.
Jeen-Yuhs” began streaming on Netflix February 16, 2022, with its first installment of three acts titled “Vision,” “Purpose” and “Awakening,” respectively. The documentary, which has vulgar language, features footage captured by Clarence “Coodie” Simmons over the span of 20 years.
The series documents Kanye’s formative days in Chicago and features his rise to becoming a global entertainer. In recent years, the artist has shared extensively about his conversion to Jesus Christ and even hosted several events called “Sunday Services” nationwide in 2019 at places like Coachella, Los Angeles’ Skid Row and even Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston.
“I’m like a vessel, and God has chosen me to be the voice and the connector.” – Kayne West
Long before he started claiming top spots on Christian music charts with “Jesus Is King,” he was rapping about Jesus. There was “Jesus Walks,” a track on his 2004 debut “The College Dropout” with lyrics such as “God show me the way because the devil’s tryna break me down.” In “jeen-yuhs,” Kanyes music is described as a “cultural phenomenon.”

Ptolemaic queens: power wielders or power hungry? A study of Cleopatras I, II and III
The concept of queenship has never been easy to define. It is not, as many might assume, the female equivalent of kingship. The inequalities between genders means that acceptance of a queen as ruler does not necessarily mean acceptance equal to that of a king. In Ptolemaic Egypt it appears that the queens were mere placeholders, their role determined by their relationship to the king, or soon-to-be-king. This assumes that they were not considered rulers in their own right. It also assumes that by sheer proximity and importance to the king, queens might also wield some degree of influence and power. But what did this look like?
Ptolemaic propaganda generated grand titles and ornate temple reliefs, but these are not, of themselves, evidence of material or personal power and influence; and we should not mistake the appearance of power and authority for actual power and authority. Ancient sources have typically stereotyped women who wielded power as ambitious, unscrupulous manipulators, and modern scholarship has been distorted by an inclination to accept these assumptions. This has resulted in a limited perspective and understanding of women in power. The treatment and depiction of Cleopatras I, II, and III in ancient sources and modern historiography is no exception; they are castigated for desiring or acquiring power. However, an assessment of non-literary evidence suggests that sometimes, it is simply the perception of power, rather than actual possession or exercise of power. Therefore, it is imperative to consider all the available evidence, both literary and non-literary, pertaining to the study of Cleopatras I, II, and III in order to better recognise the difference between actual possession of power and the perception of power; and to gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the relationship between gender and power.

To assist perceive this, scientists have created a computational mannequin of how the flame-like materials popping out of the again of a rocket, known as a rocket plume, interacts with the floor of a planet or different physique. As it’s sizzling and sends out materials at excessive speeds, this plume throws up materials off the planet’s floor. This may create clouds of mud and particles which may probably injury a rocket because it makes an attempt a touchdown.
“Understanding the interplay between the rocket plume and the floor is necessary for the protection and success of area missions when it comes to contamination and erosion, touchdown accuracy, planetary safety, and engineering design, in addition to for scientific understanding and future exploration,” defined Byoung Jae Kim of Chungnam Nationwide College, the lead creator of the examine, which seems within the journal Physics of Fluids.
The mannequin created by the researchers considers elements associated to the rocket like its engines, in addition to environmental elements just like the environment and gravity of the physique being landed on, and creates estimates of the dimensions, form, temperature, and stress of the rocket plume that will be created. It will possibly additionally estimate how a lot materials can be displaced — which means, primarily, how a lot mud and particles can be thrown up from the floor. This helps to plan out missions and to contemplate learn how to land rockets safely and whether or not a touchdown pad can be required.

Gerald Dawe was born on April 22, 1952 in Belfast, Northern Ireland to Norma Fitzgerald Bradshaw and Gordon Dawe. He attended Orangefield High School and lived in London prior to earning a B.A. from the New University of Ulster in 1974. For a short time, Dawe worked at Belfast Central Library. He was awarded a Major State Award for Postgraduate Research. He earned his M.A. in English at the University of Galway between 1974 and 1978. Dawe married Dorothea Melvin in 1979, and they had two children, Iarla and Olwen.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Dawe contributed reviews and essays on contemporary literature to Threshold, Fortnight, and Linen Hall Review. In 1978 Dawe published his first poetry collection, Sheltering Places, followed by The Lundys Letter (1985). He edited the critical collections The Younger Irish Poets (1982) and The Poet's Place: Essays on Ulster Literature and Society with John Wilson Foster (1985). In 1986 he founded and served as editor of the literary and cultural journal Krino with Aodan Mac Poilin.
During the following decades Dawe deepened his poetry production and broadened the scope of his publications on Irish literature, culture and history. His extensive output of poetry collections included Sunday School (1991), Heart of Hearts (1995), Lake Geneva (2003), Points West (2008), Selected Poems (2012), Mickey Finn’s Air (2014), Early Poems (2015), and The Last Peacock (2019). His criticism comprised: How's the Poetry Going? Literary Politics and Ireland Today (1991), The Rest is History (1998), Stray Dogs and Dark Horses: Selected Essays on Irish Writing and Criticism (2000), The Proper Word: Ireland, Poetry, and Politics (2007), The World as Province: Selected Prose, 1980-2008 (2009), Of War and Alarms: Reflections on Modern Irish Writing (2015), and The Wrong Country: Essays on Modern Irish Writing (2018). Additionally, he wrote books reviews published in both literary journals and Irish newspapers and edited poetry editions of Charles Donnelly, Ethna MacCarthy, and Padriac Fiacc.
Dawe’s later-career writings merged criticism with reflection, as in My Mother City (2007) Conversations: Poets and Poetry (2011), The Stoic Man (2015), In Another World: Van Morrison and Belfast (2017), and Looking Through You: Northern Chronicles (2020).
Dawe was a teacher as well as a writer and scholar. In 1988 he took a position as lecturer at Trinity College Dublin. In 1996 he created the MPhil in Creative Writing at Trinity with fellow poet Brendan Kennelly, the first such program in Ireland. He became the director of the Oscar Wilde Centre for Irish Writing in 1999 and was elected a Trinity Fellow in 2004. Dawe held visiting scholar posts at John J. Burns Library at Boston College (2005), Villanova University, Philadelphia (2009), and Pembroke College, Cambridge University (2016-2017). He retired from teaching in 2017.
Among Dawe's awards are the Arts Council of Ireland Bursary for Poetry (1980 and 2005), Macauley Fellowship for Literature (1984), Hawthornden International Writers' Fellowship (1987), and Ledig-Rowohlt International Writers Fellowship (1999).

Are small groups for me?
YES! Think of Small Groups as gatherings of a dozen or less people that happen around the city, usually in a home. In a smaller gathering, it can be more natural to build community, grow as a disciple, experience life-change. You may do an activity. You may learn something new. You may pray together. Small groups can be any number of things – but most importantly, none of us were made to do life alone! Find a group that's for you!
Groups typically fall into one of two categories: affinity groups and spiritual groups. Affinity are the more popular and are based around an interest or activity (hiking, knitting, basketball, etc). These groups are great fun and meet on whatever schedule serves the group. Spiritual groups are focused around growing your spiritual life - bible studies, prayer groups, etc.
In our directory, you will find both of these groups happening all over the Charlotte area - just click the group that interests you and join!
Didn't find the right group?
Have you searched through the group directory and didn't find a group that suited your wildest dreams? You can submit a group by filling out the form below. New group leaders are always welcome!
Want to lead a small group!
You don’t need to have it all together to lead a Small Group—you just have to be willing to let God use you. To host a group, you simply choose a topic that interests you and select a time and location to meet with others to share it. Then, we give you a few essential tools like first-time leader training, a directory where others can find your group, and support throughout the semester. We believe God uses Small Groups to change people’s lives, and as a Small Group leader, you get to be a part of that!

My first post-high school employment was with Howard’s TV Repair. Howard had a pretty good understanding of human psychology. He insisted that we clean the outside of each television set repaired in his shop before it was returned to the owner.
It never took long. Less than 60 seconds to Windex the front of the picture tube, and maybe another three minutes to wipe the dust and fingerprints off the rest of the set. (It always amazes me, even today, how much dust, cigarette smoke, and other schmutz accumulates on the ‘tube and dims the picture).
When we’d fire it up for the owner, the usual comment was, “Wow. That looks good!”
Why am I thinking of Howard today?
Because I just received a postcard from the shop that did extensive repairs on my truck. It was a nice “thank you,” and it arrived within 48 hours of the work being completed.
I paid $437 for repairs to the steering linkage. (Well, more correctly, $420 for the steering linkage, and $17 to replace the windshield wipers).
I picked the truck up at 5:30 pm, and drove it home into the setting sun, squinting through the dirty windshield. Now, granted, it was that dirty when I delivered the truck at 7:00 that morning. But, still, they paid enough attention to note the rubber was shot on my blades, and completely missed the filthy glass on which that rubber sat.
To the best of my knowledge, Howard never repaired any vehicle other than his own. However, I have no doubt that under his supervision no vehicle would be returned before the mats were vacuumed, the dash wiped down, and the glass cleaned.
And here I sit looking at this postcard.
The shop did good work. I’m not upset with their price. And yet, it would have been so easy for them to delight me with four minutes of extra, unexpected attention to the little things.
I don’t know what you sell, or what services you offer, but isn’t there some nicety you could do for your customers to surprise and delight them? I’m not talking about discount coupons or loyalty cards or even a free gift with purchase. I’m talking about just doing something nice. Something that could generate incredible word of mouth.
- The complementary hand sanitizer at the checkout of Mi Tierra Mexican Restaurant in Southaven, Mississippi.
- Behive Music in Fargo loaning an amplifier for that night’s gig to a guitarist who’s amp was in their shop.
- As one of California’s major fires worked it’s way up the Cajone Pass, the daily phone call to out-of-town owners of rental homes managed by Blue Star Properties of Victorville. (With evacuation on everyone’s mind, Ben Lamson’s crew minimized every owner’s worry by providing the latest information, and showing they were on top of the situation).
- The Cincinnati O’Charlie’s Restaurant waitress who, slammed by the after church crowd, still noticed a lady with a walker coming around the side of the building, opened the side door, and found her a seat immediately.
- The cleansing wipes provided by the Kroger Grocery in Portsmouth, Ohio so that shoppers can wipe down the handles of the shopping carts.
- The taxi owned by El Torrito Restaurant in Evansville, Illinois, painted with their logo, that the restaurant parked by the street during the day and used in the evening to take home customers home who had spent too much time in the cantina.
- The U.S. Postal Service repackaging my magazine when the cover tore, in order that it arrive without additional damage.
- The complementary coffee served to those customers waiting to be seated at the Bob Evans Restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina.
- The customer service representative of Chase Bank in Huntington, West Virginia who called the new customer with the name of a blues band looking for a bass player that his new-to-town customer had asked about the day before.
Do you have any personal examples of delightful customer service?
If you don’t mind, hit the “comment” button and tell us what the business did for you, how it made you feel, and roughly how many people you told about it.

Happy Sunday! We have football, basketball, and hockey on the slate today! I am focusing mainly on Hockey and Football at the moment and I found a +1100 parlay that I love. It is 2 NHL Legs + 3 NFL Legs.
The NHL legs are Zibanejad over 3.5 shots and this is our hardest leg if you look at the price. In 3 home games this year he has had 9,9,3 shots and he has missed the net a ton as well. That means there is volume and he should get this on a tired Blue Jackets team that allows a ton of shots. The next NHL leg is Dylan Larkin with over 2.5 shots on goal. This is heavily juiced but it makes a nice add to our parlay. The Ducks are on the last game of a long road trip and already allow shots galore. He has gone over that line in 3 of 4 games this season.
The NFL legs are interesting. I added the Chiefs ML to this because I think they win and I didnt want all props in this parlay. I talked about why I like them on the podcast earlier so check that out. The next leg is Etienne 40+ yards vs the Giants because he should crush this as the Giants give up a lot of rushing yards and I brought this down with an alt line. The last leg is the Ravens 1st half as they are 5-0-1 in the 1st half to the ML and if they tie we push on that leg. The Ravens off a loss should continue to crush the first half at home.
All in all that is a +1100 2-sport banger that I can’t wait to watch all day long! Enjoy and best of luck today!

Bicycles on Limited Access Highways
Miguel asked: Hello, I was wondering if it was possible in Florida for bicyclists like myself to use the freeways, expressways and interstate highways. Is it legal for us to do this? And what tips or rules must we follow?
Bicycles are prohibited from limited access highways unless signs are posted allowing them.
s. 316.091 – Limited Access Facilities; Interstate Highways; Use Restricted
(2)Except as provided herein, no person shall operate upon a limited access facility any bicycle, motor-driven cycle, animal-drawn vehicle, or any other vehicle which by its design or condition is incompatible with the safe and expedient movement of traffic.
(3)No person shall ride any animal upon any portion of a limited access facility.
(4)No person shall operate a bicycle or other human-powered vehicle on the roadway or along the shoulder of a limited access highway, including bridges, unless official signs and a designated, marked bicycle lane are present at the entrance of the section of highway indicating that such use is permitted pursuant to a pilot program of the Department of Transportation.
Since these restrictions sometimes place onerous conditions on cyclists, the FBA was successful in getting legislation to study the matter. A two-year pilot program is being conducted to determine whether bicycles can safely use certain limited access highways.
(6)The Department of Transportation shall establish a 2-year pilot program, in three separate urban areas, in which it shall erect signs and designate marked bicycle lanes indicating highway approaches and bridge segments of limited access highways as open to use by operators of bicycles and other human-powered vehicles

Felix Pfäffli, Feixen Studio
Studio Feixen is an independent Design Studio based in Lucerne, Switzerland. They work globally with clients like Nike, Google, Hermès, and The New York Times, as well as locally with institutions like the Wanderlust, the Nuits Sonores Festival, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Südpol, and the Luzerner Theatre. Martin Lorenz spoke with Felix Pfäffli, who founded Studio Feixen in 2009. Felix teaches at the Fachklasse Grafik Luzern and is the youngest member in the history of AGI. Besides winning prizes worldwide, he has also given lectures and organized exhibitions and workshops. In his own words, he is responsible for the “necessary chaos” in Studio Feixen’s designs.
We see a trend in design that is moving from static solutions toward flexible systems. The term “variable typography”, as it is used in this book, tries to embrace all aspects of design which have made typography more flexible in recent years, whether they are in the form of flexible visual identities, moving posters, or variable fonts. Amid all this, Studio Feixen has become one of the spearheads in the “moving posters” movement. Could you tell us a little bit about your studio?
Studio Feixen is just Raphael Leutenegger and me, Felix Pfäffli, but we usually work in a group of four. We are a graphic design studio at our core, but we like to believe that we have no clear boundaries as to which fields we work in. We are much more interested in creating our lives, rather than creating work. We work on commercial projects four days a week, but reserve one day a week to work for ourselves. On this day, which is usually Friday, we experiment with stuff that we want to do in the future.
What are you experimenting with at the moment?
We do all kinds of stuff. We experiment with fonts, of course. We created a font that allows us to design faster; one that is made to stretch, because we needed a digital tool that could sort of match the speed of sketching on paper. We are also working on our own line of clothing, and opening a restaurant very soon. It is going to be a pizzeria. (Laughs) On top of that, we are working on an exhibition made of cakes, which is soon to be seen in China. Maybe we will even start an object series with plexiglass in the near future. So you see, it is a colorful mix of stuff. The ideas often appear during the week, and we then work on them on Fridays.
Interesting! Did you have any specific motive for taking Fridays off to work on self-commissioned projects, or have you always been working like this?
We have always worked like this. Every half a year, we question our way of working. When you create your own company, you are also responsible for everyone working within the company. What we try to do is create a space that makes us happy every day. Since the beginning, it was clear to us that we needed a space to work without any boundaries. Of course, we are very lucky with our clients. We can do almost whatever we want, but still, there are boundaries in every project. During our free time, we really can do anything. We believe that if you do not take time for yourself, you will be always stuck with what your clients want from you – which is why we want to be in control over our future. Our future clients do not know what we have in our heads and what we want to do later on, so we have to show them.
The very first time I became aware of Studio Feixen was in 2014 through your posters for Südpol. There was already a strong focus on variable typography, even though they were not animated. It was not until 2017 that I came to know about your “moving posters”. It almost seemed like a reinvention of your studio’s focus. What happened between 2014 and 2017?
(Laughs) For Südpol, there was simply no time to animate the posters even though I had been doing “moving posters” from before, as seen in my final graduation project in 2010 about randomness. When Raphael joined the studio, we decided to become the kind of studio that always looked for new solutions, and it became logical for us to move in the direction of “moving posters”. Since then, almost every project we have done is flexible, animated, and responsive. Time itself is an important variable in our work, and I guess it all started with the Wanderlust1 posters. This project was really flexible in nature. Every element was designed to adjust responsively without ever becoming boring. The application of the corporate design was actually fun because you could play with the individual elements like Lego and be surprised by every new outcome.
Does time as a variable convert a visual identity into an evolving one?
It is a pity that this is not apparent from our website, but if you could have taken a closer look at Wanderlust’s smiley face poster in real life, you would have been able to see that the dots started off very large in size. Our idea was for them to shrink with every passing year to transform the pattern and subsequently, the visual identity as a whole; making the latter less strict and more open. To use time as a variable, it really depends if you can design an evolutive visual identity for a project or not. If you are hired to design a visual identity for only one event, then you cannot really develop a story.
Agreed. Through the application, it is easy to see the flexibility of a visual identity, but even if you do not see it, it does not mean that the visual identity you designed is not flexible or even evolutive.
Absolutely! Take our word for “20 Minuten”, the biggest newspaper in Switzerland, for example. When designing a newspaper, you design for all possible variations and, to me, this is why I think a newspaper is already animated in nature. Nothing is static. Some days, the headline could be very long, resulting in smaller images, and vice versa. All the elements are reacting to each other. In line with this, everything we do nowadays is flexible, and the systems we create are always made to react to every new situation.
Although motion design has become more accessible for graphic designers over the last decade, do you think it is still not common for graphic designers to know how to animate, especially those among the older generation?
Yes, that is absolutely true. However, through the newspaper project, I found that even though the older generation does not usually think by way of animation, they do understand flexible systems. The main difference between them and the generation today lies in the way that we make flexibility visible through our websites. In our Shorties project, the animations showed all the possibilities each system had, and every single frame could have become a poster by itself. They showed our audiences what we did, and could have done.
How has your work evolved over the years?
We want to learn something new with every project, and each one should be a step forward. The longer I work in this profession, the more connected everything feels. When I started my career, designing a poster felt like a challenge. After designing my first book, the first visual identity, and so forth, I then began to gain a broader understanding of the possibilities offered by each of these applications. The more knowledge you gain, the more flexible you become; allowing you to combine the applications in the weirdest ways and bring out each of their strengths best. At Studio Feixen, we are continuously searching for surprising ways to design applications it never becomes repetitive, and things just keep getting more and more interesting with each project. Take our Oto Nové Swiss4 project for example. Although the creative outcome looked like a poster, it was actually not one per se because it was never printed. The only place where it was displayed was on their website.
Do you think variable typography is a natural evolution from static typography as digital devices have become widespread?
Yes, absolutely. I think it is a natural evolution. Every time a new technology appears, everybody starts experimenting with it. When you see everything becoming responsive and you happen to be into typography, you would probably start experimenting with responsive typography. If you are into images, you will experiment with images. I saw this new technology the other day that makes images responsive, where they do not just simply stretch, but re-invent themselves at the same time. Everybody is experimenting with flexibility on all levels right now.
What do you think is the major advantage of variable typography?
There is a simple reason why typography is becoming more and more important nowadays. Everybody has a smartphone and we are consuming more videos on it, but without sound. This means that we need subtitles to understand what the videos are about. You can already see that subtitles are becoming really important, and designers have started playing around with them. I think there will be a huge step forward in this whole field within the next couple of years because everybody needs subtitles. The typography will be influenced by the image, and the image will be influenced by the typography.
Besides animating typography, your studio creates interactive pieces too. How often do you code?
Once a year, we get involved in a coded project. We do not code a lot because it is not our favorite thing to do. It makes me angry and I think it makes Raphael angry too! (Laughs) Unfortunately, sometimes, it is necessary to code – not because we have to, but out of interest. We just wait for the right project to come along. Coding is nothing we can delegate. We need to do it ourselves. While coding, you get to learn so many things that you might be able to use in another project. We would lose a lot of knowledge if we hired a coder, as we would be stuck and unable to develop an original idea any further.
Working with code makes you rethink your original ideas. Does that mean that code is not just the realization of an idea, but a language to question the idea and further develop it?
Coding is like thinking to us. For projects like “20 Minuten”, the process of development is like coding for us. If the headline grows longer, the image becomes smaller. The entire length of the text might even increase, causing the text at the bottom to be lost. It is all connected. When we talk about our work in the studio, we mostly talk about the capabilities of each element. What can this element do? Can it run around the format? Can it appear here and then there? Design is about the behavior of elements. A coder thinks in the exact same way.
Even if you do not write code, do you design as if you were coding?
Absolutely. When you are hired for a corporate design project, you are hired to make rules. Even though we do not like making rules, it is our task to make them.
Can you describe your design process?
That really depends on the project. Every project leads to a different process. When we have to be really professional, we spend a lot of time sketching out the system, until it is flawless. The system is the most important part of the project, as it needs to be able to process all the information. If we work on a project that needs to be animated later, we work first on a storyboard, sketch every possible moment of the animation, and then produce the animation. We do this so that nothing can go wrong. I enjoy the process most when the design transforms constantly. Having the whole studio working on a project can take it in any direction at any time, but we have one simple rule: we never go back. We love to make decisions. If we have said “no” to a direction, we never revisit it, but it is always possible to spin it into a new direction. If we have a new idea that changes the original idea a lot and is better than the original direction, we explore the new direction. We have projects that I absolutely love which are changing all the time. They are often the most time-consuming to work on, but turn out the nicest because you are not committed to one idea, but the best possible outcome. As a designer, this means that you also need to be super flexible, and cannot fall in love with an idea. You need to go with what is best.
How do you decide what is best? What are your criteria?
The gut. (Laughs) No, we discuss the ideas. We have another rule. We actually have a lot of rules! When you talk about abandoning an idea and you see that someone in the group is sad about losing it, then most of the time, this person is right. When you are sad about losing an idea, it means that you see something in this idea that the rest of the group has not seen. We decided then to work on it for a couple more hours to make it visible.
How do you think the way we learn, teach and design will change with design becoming more flexible?
I think it will change a lot. The way I teach today is really different to the way I was taught. Today, you educate individuals even though you have absolutely no clue what their future will be like. The professions are changing in an incredibly rapid way, and you cannot be sure that what you are teaching your students will end up being exercised later on. That is why, what you need to teach is flexibility. I find that a big problem is the sense of individuality. Students have to learn how to work together, but a lot are working against each other.
So, you are teaching teamwork?
Yes. I do a lot of different subjects. One of my favorite subjects is called “Generative Design”. It is based on the idea of Conditional Design by Studio Moniker. The members of Studio Moniker meet every Tuesday to work together as if they are a program. I began doing the same with Tobias Hauser, the dean of the school I am teaching at. The students have to design programs, but they are also part of the program. They can do whatever they want, but they have to present their results at the end. They learn a lot through this project because they have to organize their materials, discuss how to work together, and more. While they are being trained in all the skills they need to be a graphic designer this way, they do not really realize it because they are so busy all the time. The next step is then to make a real visual identity. The students love this. It is a mixture of fun and super hard work.
Why do you think this differs from the way you were taught before?
I think this is more pedagogic. We are talking much more about education and how to educate today than before. The generations before us were often famous designers, who were mostly interested in their own careers and taught a certain way. Today, I think the fame of a single designer is less important. For me, it is much more interesting to see a student finding his own language than copying mine. It makes more sense. I get the feeling that we are closer to the students today than before. Before, there was a bigger distance between students and teachers.
Does it mean that you do not believe in the future of the individual star designer, but in the designer as a part of a collaborative effort, changing according to context?
Yes. Absolutely. At our school, we are very active at the moment to change that. It is amazing to see how much change is possible. The mixture is very interesting. You have old and young teachers, and they are all interested in new ways of teaching.
Felix, thank you so much!

Recent US bank collapses highlight similar risks incurred by sending your employee payroll funds to a 3rd-party Earned Wage Access (EWA) vendor to deduct any EWA transfers and fees and pay your employees accurately and on time. These payroll-intercept EWA vendors are not licensed by states as lenders or money transmitters, nor are they governed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) federal regulatory authorities. Handing over your payroll is like gambling with your employee’s hard-earned income.
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
2nd and 3rd Largest Bank Failures in U.S. History
We have experienced the 2nd and 3rd largest bank failures in history in the last few weeks. Silicon Valley Bank ($209 billion in assets) and Signature Bank ($110 billion in assets) fall behind only Washington Mutual Bank’s failure in September of 2008 ($307 billion).
All the bank customers with deposits of $250,000 or less in these failed banks are protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Additionally, “the FDIC expanded deposit guarantees to types of deposits that aren’t usually ensured, like mutual funds, and banks are being given access to money they couldn’t get in the market.”
Many businesses relied on regional banks like Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank for their cash flow and payroll accounts. The founders of one small company, Slumberkins, worried if they would be able to send out the next round of paychecks.
Assuming their accounts were within the FDIC-insured threshold, businesses like Slumberkins should be made whole once the dust settles on the SVB collapse. But the entire experience brings up the consequences of high-risk banking scenarios and the gamble some are taking with payroll-intercept Earned Wage Access (EWA) models.
What is EWA?
Earned Wage Access (EWA) is a voluntary financial wellness benefit. It allows employees to access their earned wages, when needed, between pay cycles. By connecting with payroll, time, and attendance systems, an EWA vendor can calculate how much an employee has made, subtract taxes and deductions, and provide employee access to earned wages.
What’s A Payroll-Intercept EWA Model?
After an employee makes an Earned Wage Access (EWA) transfer, there are two ways to recover the EWA transferred funds (and associate fees if applicable):
1. Payroll deduction. The EWA funds and fee(s) are documented as an after-tax voluntary deduction on the employee’s payroll statement as part of the normal payroll process. The EWA transferred funds are replenished in the employer’s EWA funding account, and fees are collected and sent to the EWA vendor. The EWA vendor provides a monthly itemized statement to the employer.
2. Payroll intercept. Payroll intercept extends the normal payroll process outside of the employer’s control. After the employer runs payroll, the net payroll record and funds (post taxes and deductions) for employees enrolled in the EWA program are sent to the EWA vendor. That vendor then extracts the previously paid EWA transfers plus applicable fees. Finally, the vendor deposits the final net pay to an account in the employee’s name.
The payroll-intercept EWA model gives control of payroll funds to the EWA vendor. But what happens if that EWA vendor fails like Silicon Valley Bank?
EWA Vendors Should Never Control Employee Payroll
Earned Wage Access (EWA) vendors are not FDIC-insured; there is no bailout if they go under or out of business. In addition, the venture capital community supporting these third-party EWA models will not refund your employee payroll if lost.
And if Federal and State regulators descend on your company headquarters, your business will be held responsible. The EWA vendor will not send you their corporate lawyers or high-priced accountants.
Keep Custody Of Your Employee Payroll
Risk is inherent in business; however, unnecessary risk is simply reckless. Signing up with an Earned Wage Access (EWA) vendor who requires control of payroll funds is a reckless risk akin to throwing the dice and gambling with an employee’s salary.
Ensure your EWA vendor recovers funds through a payroll deduction, not a payroll intercept. You’ll stay in control while helping your employees and, at the same time, improving your competitive advantage.

Here is the easy way for how to dehydrate blueberries.They are the perfect fruit to dry, because all you need to do is put them in a dehydrator or oven!
There are two ways to make dehydrated blueberries. You can dry them less and have them more chewy. Or dry them more and have them like the texture of a raisin.
Blueberries are so delicious, you want to preserve them to last as long as possible. So if you have too many fresh blueberries to use, dehydrating them will make them last longer.
Because removing the moisture in the blueberries will allow you to keep them longer. You can store them in an airtight container for weeks or months, rather than just a few days with the perishable fresh fruit.
Yet they still remain delicious to eat!
Can You Dehydrate Blueberries?
Yes! Dehydrating blueberries is easy. They are a perfect fruit to dry!
Drying the blueberries is easy because you don’t have to slice them. All you need to do is add the fruit as it is to a dehydrator, oven or air fryer.
However, if you do cut them in half, they will dry quicker.
Drying Blueberries in a Food Dehydrator
A dehydrator is the preferred method for drying blueberries.
The fruit is set on mesh trays and low heat circulates around the trays inside the dehydrator. This allows for all sides of the fruit to become dried out evenly.
You can use multiple layers of trays in a food dehydrator, which means you can dry a lot of fruit.
Add the fruit to the trays. Start checking around 12 hours to see if you like the texture.
Can I Use an Oven to Dehydrate Blueberries?
You can dehydrate blueberries in an oven.
If you are drying in an oven, set the temperature as low as possible. This varies for every oven, but generally around 120 -210 degrees.
Since the oven will be at a higher temperature than in a dehydrator, it may only take 7-9 hours to dry the blueberries to your liking. Check at the 7 hour mark, and then every 30 minutes after until you are happy with the level of dryness.
Helpful Tips for Drying Blueberries
- Do not crowd the fruit on the dehydrator tray or oven tray. There needs to be enough air circulation.
- Start dehydrating first thing in the morning, or overnight. This will allow you the time to check on the fruit when it is about done.
- Using organic blueberries will reduce exposure to pesticides, since you won’t be able to remove the peel off of the fruit.
- Times will vary based on the humidity of the day that you are drying, oven temperatures, and how many fruits you have on trays in the dehydrator.
How Can I Use Dehydrated Blueberries?
Because of their sweetness, dehydrated blueberries make a perfect substitute for sugary snacks.
Dried blueberries are often found in blueberry muffin mixes and blueberry pancake batter. You can add the blueberries into store bought mixes or ones you make.
They also make a perfect addition to a homemade trail mix.
How to Store Dehydrated Blueberries?
Store the dried blueberries in an airtight container out of the sun. You can use a mason jar or a container with an air-tight seal, such as Tupperware.
Keep in mind the fruit can be warm after being in the dehydrator. So allow it to cool completely before putting in a container.
Storing dehydrated fruits in a refrigerator will reduce your worry about them going bad.
Humidity is one of the worst enemies to storing food. In addition to an air-tight container, you might want to add a desiccant pack which absorbs moisture from the air.
Wash blueberries to remove any dirt or debis. Gently pat dry with a towel or paper towel.
Drying with a Dehydrator
- Place blueberries on the dehydrator sheet.
- Set the dehydrator to “Fruit” setting and let dehydrate until desired consistency. Depending on your climate this can take up to 20 hours. Start checking on the berries around the 12-hour mark. I suggest checking in every 30 minutes until you are happy with the dryness.
Drying in an Oven
- Place fresh blueberries on a parchment paper lined tray.
- Set the oven at a temperature as low as possible. After 7 hours, check the consistency of the berries. Continue to dry until they are as crispy as you'd like. Check every 30 minutes until happy.
To store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Georgia Trio Sweep PGA, Champions, Web.com Titles
Three Georgia golfers won the PGA, Champions and Web.com Tour events August 23, with two of the winners St. Simons Island residents.
Davis Love became the third oldest winner in PGA Tour history, taking the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., for the third time. Love shot a final round 64 to win by a shot with a 17-under 263 total, coming from four behind after 54 holes.
The victory gets Love into the FedExCup Playoffs after beginning the week 186 on the points list. He also earns a spot in the 2016 Masters. The victory was the first for the 51-year-old Love since 2008.
Atlanta’s Billy Andrade scored his first individual victory on the Champions Tour, winning the Boeing Classic in Seattle. Andrade, part of the winning team in the Legends of Golf earlier this year, survived a triple bogey in the final round to shoot 73 and win by one over Bernhard Langer with a 9-under 207 total.
Patton Kizzire, like Love a St. Simons resident, scored his second Web.com Tour victory of 2015, winning by four shots in Knoxville after closing with back-to-back 64s for a 20-under 264 total. Kizzire leads the tour in earnings and is enjoying one of the best seasons in tour history with two runner-up showings and two other top-4 finishes.

Everything you need to know about lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
Lip Fillers Los Angeles with hyaluronic acid, to increase their volume and enhance their contours, is one of the star treatments in the field of aesthetic medicine. Everyone, without a doubt, wants to show off a more rejuvenated and harmonious face, an image in which the lips play an important role.
Getting voluminous lips that, at the same time, have a natural appearance is what everyone wants. That is why we will tell you the myths and truths about lip augmentation.
First of all, you should know that Dermal Fillers Los Angeles is a simple treatment, without the use of surgery or interventions in operating rooms.
This treatment consists of the implementation of an infiltration technique, through a special injection with micro-needles of hyaluronic acid, with which we will fill the lip.
Hyaluronic acid is the most used filler to give volume to the lips in aesthetic medicine, mainly because it is a substance that is already present in our body, naturally, and that can act effectively in treatments of the area.
The most important thing is that it is a 100% biological treatment, therefore compatible and with a very low percentage of allergies or rejection.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid lip augmentation?
Like any aesthetic treatment, lip augmentation brings several benefits to reaffirm your facial beauty, since lips are a fundamental part of our cover letter.
With quality treatment, you can benefit from the benefits of lip filler, among which are:
- Increase the volume of the lips and give them a balanced and symmetrical look on the face
- Moisturize and outline the lips, recovering their vitality that is lost with age
- Reduce wrinkles from the corners of the lips.
- Redefine the so-called Cupid's bow, in symmetry with the upper lip bow.
- It has no side effects.
It is worth noting that the benefits of Best Lip Injections Los Angeles can be achieved if the treatment is applied by a specialist, the type of filler is high-end and quality, and if the patient follows the medical recommendations in the days after a treatment:
- Do not expose yourself to the sun
- Do not consume alcohol or tobacco
- Do not bite your lips
- Apply cold compresses and ointments indicated
- Go to the doctor in case of any complications.
Before any medical treatment, even more so if it is aesthetic, some many opinions and comments are generated and heard around it, generating confusion and doubts among the people who wish to apply it.

I’m using the Ui path in server PC, the click activity works well when i keep the workflow running in desktop. But when i run the workflow and minimize the screen, the click activity give me a error as
Source: Click- SHow Result Message: Cannot bring the target application in the foreground. Exception Type: UiPath.Core.ElementOperationException UiPath.Core.ElementOperationException: Cannot bring the target application in the foreground. —> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Exception from HRESULT: 0x800402ea at UiPath.UiNodeClass.BringIntoView() at UiPath.Core.UiElement.BringToForeground() — End of inner exception stack trace —
->Make sure that the target application is not minimized or running in the background while the UiPath workflow is executing. The application should be visible on the screen for UiPath to interact with it correctly.
Also in the use browser activity properties pannel you can keep the window size as maximum
Manage this using “Resize window” property in use application browser
Thanks for the response.
When i upload the package in orchestrator and set a timings, i want the bot to run automatically in the server pc. I dont want to keep it open.
so in such cases how should i develop my click activity.
If you don’t want to keep the browser to be opened then try changing the click activity property Input Mode to simulate so that whether the browser is maximized or minimized the click activity works.

[COLLECTION][REL] Realism Dispatch Enhanced (RDE) 3.1
REALISM DISPATCH ENHANCED 3.1
PART OF GTA REALISM SERIES BY GTA REALISM TEAM
Dilapidated, mkeezay30, 11John11, AlexVonShep, Alex_Ashfold, Aquamenti, Bilago, BobJaneTMart, BroCop, DukSezQuak, Dying, EddIm, Jax765, NailBiter, NefariousBonne, rms8723, SkylineGTRFreak, Skyprone, SuperStumpje, The Loot, Yard1 & others
3.1 NOW RELEASED!
Make sure to join our Discord for suggestions, bug reports, support, interaction with community and developers and many more!
Grab 3.0 here:
Hey guys, I suppose I should share some progress on RDE 3.0 with you. The models and textures are continuously being improved while we are waiting for Dilapidated to get his new GPU so we can finish with the script (which is going to be soo amazing).
The Realism Team has been hard at work to bring you the highest quality lore-friendly content. We are aiming at improving the variety and quality of the emergency services and law enforcement in the world of GTA, and RDE 3.0 will be miles ahead of RDE 2.2.1. See for yourself! I'll start with a vehicle showcase of vehicles we have currently:
(HORRIBLY OUTDATED, CARS ARE EVEN COOLER NOW, WILL UPDATE WHEN I HAVE SOME TIME)
RDE 3.0 Vehicle Showcase
Please note that not all vehicles are pictured (a good deal is however) and all content is subject to change. I'll try to keep this album up to date.
On the subject of peds, some of you might have noticed the various peds I have been uploading. Most, if not all will be present in RDE, alongside some other minor model changes/fixes. We are also improving the texture quality of the peds. Some of the new peds include:
Various new SWAT peds
From top left: BCSO SWAT, LSSD SEB, SAHP BEAT, NOOSE TRU
There is also Port Police, of which I don't have a good screenshot right now.
That would be all from me right now. I will update this thread when I have something new to show. More information about the script will also be shared at some point. Hopefully, some other team members will also come by to say hello.
Yard1 and The Realism Team
Finally some information from you guys,by the way the classic patriot (Lore Friendly M1116 Humvee)is converted by someone in the site,go check it out,I remember you guys talking about it at some time
New car added to the showcase, the San Andreas Department of Corrections an Rehabilitation Declasse Merit. Expect to see it around Bolingbroke.
@Yard1 Love this mod , can't wait for 3.0 It's a must have.
I have a question , for rde 3.0 :
Do you think it will be possible to install only the new content in a new rpf (the new added vehicules and players) ?
because I replaced lot of things with the last version of RDE and it's gonna be a mess to reinstall all I did before with all theses values changed in metafiles
@cgz Sadly some files in update.rpf will need to be replaced, as update.rpf overwrites everything else. If we put those files in our rpf, they would be overwritten by vanilla files from update.rpf. Then again, you can manually install only the models and peds, it's quite simple.
Looks very nice! Looking forward to playing with the new update
I just noticed. The Declass Merit for the Prison has slightly wrong wheel collisions. I think. The wheel sinks into the ground slightly.
@J9090 It's just because of R* Editor, it works just fine in game.
Some new stuff (well, first one is not so new )
FIB SWAT - alongside FIB Police (based on, well, FBI Police), they will be a part of optional Federal Law addon. I'll see if I can upload this ped separately soon.
Thanks to OpenIV Team which managed to convert the carcols.ymt to an editable format, we have experimented and sucessfully added a new Federal Government plate which will be used by NOOSE vehicles - just like DHS vehicles use in real life. The carcols will also allow us to fix some emergency lighting issues with the cars.
Now, this might seem like a small thing, but I have also improved the USCG ped by adding a leg holster, one extra head and an ability to spawn in tactical gear. On the left you have the normal gear, and tactical on the right. The tactical gear works like the bulletproof vest on LSPD Male Cops, meaning it won't spawn normally but can be configured (and will be) to spawn after a certain wanted level was reached, and will grand additional survivability to the guardsmen. The design is based but not 100% true on the USCG Maritime Security Response Team. Aside from boats, the USCG will also use a modified Swift helicopter, of which I should have pictures soon.
More, as always, to come!
Are you guys up for suggestions?
This is awesome I endorse you to release this mod
This looks absolutely AMAZING. You guys put a lot of hard work into this. Is there any possible release date yet
And here is, as promised - the US Coast Guard Swift!
It will spawn only when player is in the ocean on higher wanted levels, supporting (not replacing!) other helicopters.
Aside from that, the script will allow to not only configure the health, armor and weapons of peds, but also components and props! You can make a variant of a ped with low armor, and one with high armor that also has the bulletproof vest component always on! More information on the script later - Dilapidated is working his ass off trying to catch up
Another update - not much to show, but a lot to tell! As you know, RDE has a special "in-house" script - FiveStarResponse.dll (FSR) which handles the spawning of special vehicles, such as tanks and planes. Dilapidated and I have worked hard on expanding it. One of the main problems with the dispatch.meta system (that's how I'll refer to the vanilla wanted level system) was the lack of configurability - we were limited to 3 predefined zones and amounts of passengers, weapons etc. were hardcoded. Now, our script can successfully replace most of dispatch.meta (leaving only helicopters and roadblocks in - helicopters can be spawned by FSR though), while providing greater configurability at almost no performance and stability loss. Examples include:
- New zones, each of which has different units responding - run away from SAHP on the highways, get into shootouts with Airport Police at LSIA, experience the beauty of SA State Parks while being chased by Park Rangers, or hide from LS Sheriff Department in Davis and LS County!
- New vehicles, which were not supported by dispatch.meta, such as Riots and Insurgents packed full with SWAT.
- Complete configurability - choose the ped models, armor, health, weapons, components, props, vehicles, amount of passengers, spawn and respawn times (min and max), spawn distances and more.
New FSR will enable us to fully utilize all new peds and vehicles added to RDE 3.0. We believe that the configurability will allow every user to create a perfect experience for themselves.
In the graphical department, Alex_Ashfold has been hard at work improving the textures on the peds. The devil's in the details!
New belt and badge textures
New lore friendly radios
Aren't they great? Officer Ronson agrees!
In the meanwhile, Nefarious_Bonne and I have worked on new Beta Cop based LS Sheriff peds to increase variety and diversity (previously they used the same model as BCSO Deputies - while the BCSO addon will still be optional, you should use it!). Don't mind what's going on in the background - the perp and Deputy Wade are just having a friendly talk.
New LSSD Deputies (WIP)
And to finish it off, SAHP got a shipment of new bulletproof vest (configured to only spawn at 3 stars and above by the FSR script). Fun fact - they were the only LE agency in RDE which did not have them.
But wait, there is more! AlexVonShep used his mad skills to make various police stations more realistic and life-like - they actually make sense now!
Vespucci (notice the giant decals gone)
That will be all for now. We are getting closer and closer to the release - which only means we are picking up the pace! Stay tuned for more updates!
@Yard1 , this mod includies West Vinewood Sheriffs? And you will make Vapid Sandking LSSD?
Are you going to use Brickade model in RDE in the future ?
Just gonna leave those two pictures here:
Tell me, would you consider doing a fivereborn/multifive version of this? It might already work, but if it doesn't, then it'd have to be remade in lua. Online NEEDS this!
Six Star Response:
@Yard1 You must send this to Rockstar. So they know what we want to see in GTA VI
@Yard1 Who will attack us except military?
@Mr_Cheburashke The following law enforcement agencies will be present in RDE:
- Los Santos Police Department (LSPD),
- Los Santos Sheriff Department (LSSD),
- Blaine County Sheriff's Office (BCSO, optional addon),
- Los Santos Port Authority Police (PAP),
- Los Santos International Airport Police (LSIAP)
- San Andreas Highway Patrol (SAHP),
- San Andreas State Park Rangers (SASP),
- San Andreas Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (SADCR),
- San Andreas National Guard (Military)
- National Office of Security Enforcement (NOOSE),
- Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB, expanded in optional addon),
- United States Coast Guard (USCG)
@Yard1 Again - this looks great! Hope development's going well!
Gone are the days of being invincible in the skies. SA National Guard has some new toys, and they know how to use them - expect getting hit by both cannons and rockets.
Everything in 3.0 looks absolutely gorgeous. I really can't wait to mess around with its new features when it comes out. Anyways, do you guys have anything else planned with the mod (eg. riot shield
units and snipers being deployed onto rooftops etc)?

I am newly engaged and just started looking into destination wedding planning. I am thinking Rivera Maya, Mexico in May 2015. I am set on having a DW, our guests will be all adults and able to afford the trip. I just need some advice from those who have done in or are even in the process of planning like me. Did your resort really make your dream come true or just fell short? Any tips/input appreciated!

Lawyers L. Lin Wood and Sidney Powell have called on President Donald Trump to confiscate voting machines used in the 2020 presidential election. Wood is one of the president’s supporters who allege that the election suffered from widespread fraud.
“On behalf of We The People, I urge @realDonaldTrump to exercise its executive power to get US Marshals to seize voting machines used in 11/3 elections,” Wood tweeted Thursday.
“We ask The People only to receive what we deserve: knowing that our cherished voting rights have not been stolen from us.”
Wood filed a lawsuit against the state of Georgia, disputing the election results there, trying to prevent their certification. The case was dismissed.
He retweeted another Twitter user on Thursday arguing that Trump had the power to order US Marshalls to seize voting machines and that person, in turn, had retweeted Powell.
“Confiscate the machines for immediate forensic inspections. If there was no fraud, #Links should welcome it! People who have nothing to hide are not hiding anything,” Powell tweeted Thursday.
She retweeted Trump’s claim that the Wisconsin election had been faked and had also tagged the president. Other Twitter users also began tweeting the idea to Trump.
Wood and Powell have become key figures in the “stop the steal” movement, which claims Trump’s election was stolen through voter fraud and the use of Dominion Voting Systems machines that switched the votes to President-elect Joe Biden. There is no evidence for this.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals denied Powell and Wood access to some voting machines in Georgia on December 4. Judge Andrew Brasher, a Trump-appointed person, dismissed the case because he felt the court had no jurisdiction.
A similar attempt to gain access to voting machines by a Michigan group was denied by federal district judge Linda Parker on Dec. 7. The same judge also dismissed one of Powell’s “Kraken” cases.
Parker filed for a deregistration of the results by Michigan and seizing voting machines “a relief that is astonishing in its scope and breathtaking in its scope.”
“This case well represents the sentence, ‘This ship has sailed,’” she said.
It’s not clear whether Trump has the power to seize voting machines through the US Marshals, but his path back to the White House is now effectively closed. The Electoral College confirmed Biden’s victory on December 14, and Congress will meet to ratify the results on January 6, 2021. While a small number of Republicans have indicated they could object, it is highly unlikely that this would change the outcome.

There are a number of hobbies that sports activities bettors have aside from sports activities betting. Many choose taking part in at an on-line on line casino, however some additionally love watching NASCAR races. There are refined distinctions within the autos that take part in NASCAR, even though each automobile that races in NASCAR is required to stick to stringent requirements.
When inventory automobile racing first began within the Nineteen Forties, drivers would purchase their autos straight from dealerships with out making any modifications. They might use the identical cars that peculiar individuals of their communities have been driving on the time. 1948 was the 12 months that noticed the delivery of NASCAR. Nearly all of early racing programs have been fabricated from grime. Therefore the group permitted modifications to the autos to extend their longevity.
There was a gentle enhance within the variety of permitted modifications through the years, which has led to a gradual enchancment within the general efficiency of the autos. The one vital distinction between at this time’s NASCAR autos is discovered of their respective engines and physique shells.
Every vehicle is similar in each respect, together with in its overarching design, its tires, suspensions, fuelling programs, electrical elements, and gearbox. In the meanwhile, there are three distinct producers who make autos for the NASCAR collection:
Every of those corporations is obligated to offer NASCAR with its engine design for the aim of receiving approval. Subsequent-Gen Vehicles, also referred to as Gen-7s, are utilized in all NASCAR competitions. These race vehicles have been developed to make inventory vehicles extra intently resemble autos which are permitted to be pushed on public roads. The 12 months 2022 noticed the primary implementation of this design as a pattern.
Each automobile entered in a NASCAR race should adjust to a stringent algorithm and rules or run the hazard of being disqualified, fined, or penalized factors. The racing groups are permitted to reuse sure elements, and there may be appreciable leeway for change in some points.
As an example, the engine’s block and cylinder heads could also be remade inside a spread of specific tolerances with a purpose to enhance the engine’s efficiency. All engines are required to have a V8 displacement of 358 cubic inches (5.86 liters) and a horsepower output of 750 with a purpose to adjust to the quantitative specs for the engine.
The current horsepower rules that NASCAR has in place cap manufacturing at 670 horsepower over nearly all of circuits and 510 horsepower on superspeedways. Due to the stringent guidelines which are in place, the efficiency of every engine is sort of similar. Since NASCAR doesn’t permit groups to make use of turbocharged engines, not a single automobile within the historical past of the game has ever competed with one.
So as to be sure that all drivers and automobile varieties are competing on an equal taking part in subject, NASCAR adopted a template known as the Subsequent-Gen racing automobile. The chassis, which serves as the inspiration for the racecar, is included within the template, and metal tube welding is used to complete out the skeleton of the automobile.
The groups will subsequent affix their very own physique shells to the chassis, utilizing entrance splitters, facet skirts, and rear fascias which are particular to the producer. It will give every automobile its personal distinctive look whereas but preserving the sphere as an entire uniform by way of its general design. This doc serves as a suggestion that each one NASCAR race autos should adjust to with a purpose to be licensed for competitors.
The racing collection often known as NASCAR takes place on all kinds of tracks, every of which can be laid up in quite a lot of numerous methods. The groups make the most of a wide range of numerous aerodynamic configurations, typically often known as “packages,” relying on which one improves their dealing with probably the most on a given observe.
On quick tracks, chassis configurations with prime speeds which are decrease and turning radiuses which are extra compact will probably be favored, whereas on longer tracks, autos with peak speeds which are increased will probably be most well-liked. The cars used on quick tracks are engineered to have an extreme quantity of downforce with a purpose to increase friction and the driving force’s capability to maintain the automobile on the observe throughout a quick or very tight bend.

Search continues for convicted escapee from Neshoba County
By By Sheila Blackmon/The Meridian Star
Dec. 6, 2000
DECATUR The search continues this morning for Chris Cleveland, who escaped from the Neshoba County Jail Monday night after being convicted of aggravated assault earlier in the day.
A Newton County jury found Cleveland guilty in the April 17 shooting of Cleveland McCall. He was being held in Neshoba County and was scheduled to be sentenced Thursday.
McCall was the primary witness in a March trial in which Trellis Windham, a former Newton deputy, was convicted as an accessory before the fact in the sale of cocaine. Windham is Cleveland's uncle.
Cleveland escaped between 7:30 and 7:45 p.m. Monday and authorities believe he was still in Philadelphia at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Cleveland eluded authorities for three months after the shooting. At one time, he was listed as a national fugitive. He returned to the area, and Union police arrested him at his mother's home in Union on July 19.
Neshoba County sheriff's deputies, Philadelphia police, Union police, Decatur police and troopers from the Mississippi Highway Patrol are assisting in the search. Cleveland is also listed with the National Crime Information Center.
Anyone with information about Cleveland's whereabouts should contact the Newton County Sheriff's Department at 635-2101.

Veils are totally in if you are having a traditional white wedding. They come in all sorts of shades and lengths. If you are on the fence and having a semi-traditional and semi-modern wedding, a veil can be a beautiful accent or a noisy distraction. Before you set out trying on the perfect veil to complement your treasured gown, I encourage you to read a little bit about the history of the wedding veil. You might just be surprised.
Click here to read a little bit about the history of wedding veils.
Now, you are ready to hit the boutiques to find that elegant veil. Here is a list of terms from TheKnot.com to help you narrow down what you are looking for:
A short, single layer of veiling, the blusher is worn over the face before the ceremony, then either flipped over the head or removed thereafter.
A formal veil that extends to the floor, the chapel falls two-and-a-half yards from the headpiece. It’s often worn in combination with a sweep train and blusher for extra oomph.
The mother of all veils, the cathedral is also the most formal. Sometimes referred to as the "royal veil," this style falls three-and-a-half yards from the headpiece.
A veil of two layers (either two veils or a veil and a blusher), usually of different lengths.
As the name implies, this type of veiling extends 25 inches in length to the bride’s elbows.
A very popular length, particularly with ball gowns, this style extends to — you guessed it — the fingertips.
A multi-layered veil that just brushes the shoulders. Considered less formal than other styles.
This veil is gathered at the crown of the head to create a cascading effect around the face. Usually of shoulder- or elbow-length.
A long, Spanish-style circular piece of lace that frames the face. Made either of lace or lace-edged tulle, the mantilla is usually secured with a comb.
A gathered piece of tulle or netting that fastens to a comb or headpiece to create height for the veil.
Waltz (also known as Ballet)
A veil length that falls somewhere between the knee and the ankle.

Those who frequent this site know I am all about empowering women to find options that allow them to work from home, make steady income and also present in LIFE.
But frequent readers also know that I like BOOKS. Children’s books to be specific. I am amazed at the quality and entertainment of today’s children’s books and stunning examples that available to parents and young readers these days. I also love a good novel, but don’t have time to read them as much as I like. Because of that, when I do pick up a book, it darn well better be good or it will quickly get put down by this busy mom of two who has an attention span of a goldfish. When I do find a good one, I am ALL IN.
After a dry spell of oh-my-God-I-can’t-put-this-down-type of books, I found one that truly blew my socks off and made me stay up waaayyyy past my bedtime. I am now dying a slow death of uber anticipation until Book #2 of this series comes out. But what’s even more interesting than is high-quality YA novel is the story of the author, Hannah Rials; a person who I am lucky enough to call a friend.
I am so proud of Hannah, I could just burst.
Sweet Miss Hannah and I both work together (virtually) at Audrey Press. AP is owned by Valarie Budyar; a powerhouse children’s author, exceptional book publisher and mentor to both Hannah and I. I started hearing about “Hannah’s book” a few years ago and it has been a gift watching her and this book evolve and come to life. She started writing Ascension at the tender age of 12 and now, as a 20 year-old college student at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, this mesmerizing YA is by Aletha Press (an imprint of Audrey Press). Ascension is a modern day teenage romance filled with “double-blooded” vampires and revenge-seeking witches.
Now don’t go thinking, “I’m not into vampire books”….this novel truly kicks arse. Please consider reading it!
Last week I was lucky enough to be able to fly from my home state of MN to Maryville, Tennessee, headquarters of Audrey Press and hometown to both Hannah and Valarie, for Hannah’s book launch party. Most people have probably heard of or have even attended a book launch…but few can probably comprehend the massive amount of behind-the scenes work that goes into it. Valarie and Hannah’s mom, Becky, moved mountains and ran MILES to make this book launch party amaze-balls. The turnout to this party was legendary and the line to buy Ascension was Out.The.Door for over an hour.
Since the book has a New Orleans theme, the decor and food reflected that.
I am now officially a total fan of Creole Jambalaya and Po’ Boys!
The Knoxville Jazz Orchestra was even there to add a New Orleans Jazz flair.
“Life is supposed to be perfect after Cheyenne Lane’s Ascension ceremony, but it turns out awakening her vampire half only complicates things more. Burdened with a patronizing family and constant surveillance by the Vampire Council, Cheyenne welcomes a summer vacation to the magical city of New Orleans. But Cheyenne quickly realizes that she can’t escape her problems, no matter where she goes.
After seventeen years of fearing exposing her secret to humans, Cheyenne’s world is rocked when she starts to fall for a witch named Eli. When he shows Cheyenne how complex the world really is, she must accept that everything she thought she knew about being a Deuxsang is a lie.
As if all this isn’t problem enough, Cheyenne finds herself the pawn of a conspiracy hatched by those who should be protecting her. Her whole life Cheyenne is told what to believe and who to trust. Now, she’s forced to choose for herself who and what is right. No matter which choice she makes, it will cost her everything.
Steeped in the mystery, intrigue and rich history of New Orleans and the secretive world of the Deuxsang, teen vampire, Cheyenne, and her forbidden love, Eli, embark on a very different, and vastly more dangerous, journey as the net of betrayal tightens around them. This intense and fresh novel is enchanting, engrossing and impossible to put down right up to the cliffhanger ending. Remember, the end is not the end.” Ascension by Hannah Rials
The greatest gift of all was being able to watch Hannah shine like a bright star that night. Not to get all mushy, but it was really, really inspiring to watch her eight years of hard work come to life.
In the days following the official launch, I am THRILLED to report that Hannah’s book is steadily creeping up the Amazon Best Seller Chart and also their overall YA category.
This book is not just for young adults either. Adults readers will love the twists and turns, the mystery and the suspense as Cheyenne Lane’s confusing life as a Deuxsang teen begins to unfold. To be able to watch, help and support a young author’s dream is priceless and I can’t wait to see where Hannah’s career goes next. 🙂
PLEASE help me help Hannah reach her ultimate dream of being a Amazon Best Seller by grabbing your copy of Ascension HERE. She is SO CLOSE to reaching this goal! Don’t forget, books make great gifts!
“I feel like I am living proof that dreams do come true.”– Hannah Rials

The City of Leuven owns a very diverse portfolio to support its policy. In the past, this was often approached from the point of view of the policy domains, which each managed their own facilities.
This led to management in ‘silos’, whereby on the one hand an overarching strategy was missing, and on the other this opened the door to inefficiencies owing to the fragmentation.
Because the City of Leuven's Buildings Service was gaining greater autonomy as regards the maintenance of the buildings, and because the available resources were insufficient, the City of Leuven wished to transform itself into an active real estate manager.
Knowledge transfer of methodologies and tools for practical use were a major core principle for this assignment and the choice of Freestone as a partner.

I planned to start mating spiders today, and got my first disappointment: I waited too long, I think, because several of the males had died. I think maybe they pined away with blue pedipalps. The males are definitely more fragile.
So then I fed a couple of mighty females so they wouldn’t be tempted to snack on the boys, and then introduced them to males. The males immediately scampered to the far side of the cage. No mating today, at least not that I’ve seen. I’ve left them together and hope the guys make it through the night.

Russia’s loss at Kharkov highlights crippling shortage of men
The frontline in this case relied on heavily outnumbered 2nd rate Lugansk draftees plucked from the LPR.
Published: May 18, 2022, 3:50 pm
On February 27, the fourth day of the war, the Russians sent at least two light detachments into the city of Kharkov, probably to gauge resistance. At least one of the groups got shot up, and retreated with the loss of its vehicles. After this, the Russians never again attempted to enter Kharkov either with screening forces or in force. They were content to sit on the city’s northern and eastern approaches and transferred units away from this sector. This is to say the Russians had never regarded Kharkov as a priority, not the least because they understood taking it would require and tie up enormous resources.
Sitting on the outskirts of Ukraine’s second-largest city and threatening it, however, was useful as it tied down Ukrainian forces. Including new forces being generated in the city itself. Especially since, due to the proximity of Russia, this was relatively easy to do, and did not require an overstretched or herculean Russian effort.
Thus as the Russians at the end of March retreated from the outskirts of Kiev, Chernigov, and Sumy, no such Russian retreat occurred at Kharkov.
— Rob Lee (@RALee85) May 12, 2022
On May 4 Ukrainians attacked and in the next few days captured a number of settlements, including Stari Saltiv with its crossing over the Northern Donets river. This partially cut off the Russia-led forces at Kharkov from the main body of the Russian side to the east of the river.
After a brief lull of a few days, Ukrainian gains resumed. Russia gradually fell back to within just 10 kilometers of the Russian border all along the front, and in one place Ukraine actually reached the Russian state border.
During this second stage of the battle, the exposed Russians withdrew from some settlements voluntarily ahead of the Ukrainians, while many others were wrestled from them by force. According to Strelkov: “The withdrawal of the LDNR units and units of the National Guard, staffed entirely by poorly armed reservists, to new positions, significantly remote from Kharkov compared to the previous ones, has ended.
In some places, the withdrawal took place without the direct influence of the enemy, elsewhere — as a result of his direct pressure on the extremely under-armed, very small and completely untrained and/or inexperienced units of the ‘allies’.”

Ukraine was actually advancing faster at Kharkov (albeit on a narrower front) than Russia was able to during the same time in Donbass. It is true that both sides understand that Kharkov is the sideshow to the main battle, so this was nonetheless no major Ukrainian victory.
However at the same time apparently the Russia forces seemingly failed to offer the same kind of dogged resistance offered by the Ukrainians entrenched in Donbass who are fighting for every meter and won’t abandon a settlement until it has been reduced to rubble many times over.
Also we have little evidence that Russia was able to leverage the fact Ukrainians were attacking and on the move, to inflict grievous losses with its artillery or air force. (This is perhaps worrying from the Russian POV. The common wisdom has been that Russian firepower would exact a heavy price on the Ukrainians whenever they left prepared positions and had to mass for a counter-offensive.)
With the Russians pushed back from Kharkov outskirts the Ukrainians might be able to divert more resources away from their second city. Most likely to spoil attacks into the flank of the Russians attempting to break out from Izyum bridgehead.
Also, should the Russians ever wish to blockade Kharkov they will have to bleed for the same settlements yet again.
Theoretically the new gains allow the Ukrainians to shell the Russian city of Belgorod, but this would require deploying heavy artillery to the very front line and is thus unlikely.
The reason the Ukrainians were able to conduct a successful offensive here is very simple. It is because around Kharkov the Russians are outnumbered.
The Russians stripped their flanks to the benefit of their Donbass effort, leaving them outnumbered against the constantly reinforcing Ukrainians.
The reason they had to do this is because of the severe shortage of manpower in general. They already lack the correlation of forces in Donbass for swift and dramatic success. Without having left their northern flank at Kharkov, and the southern one at Kherson outnumbered 2 to 1, their punching power in Donbass would be even less.
Actually many of the troops on the Russian side were fighters from Lugansk, and not even Lugansk regulars, but their newly-mobilized conscripts. Moreover the Lugansk guys lacked anti-tank weapons.
In the villages of Russkaya Lozovaya and Kutuzovka, there were units of the People’s Militia of the LDNR, formed mainly from mobilized residents of the republics. They had practically no heavy weapons, so they had no chance against a tank attack, which was accompanied by heavy artillery fire.
So not only were the Russian-led forces at Kharkov outnumbered, but also their quality left much to be desired.
— C4H10FO2P (@markito0171) May 13, 2022
As said, this is a secondary theater, and so it can not be said that Russia suffered a major defeat. However, the state of its flanks and that Ukrainians were able to pull this off puts lie to a claim that Russia has enough troops committed for the task.
When you’re having to patch up your lines with second-rate Lugansk reservists and leave them to face a twice stronger enemy then you simply can not claim to have all the men you need. It is abundant proof of exactly the opposite.
It’s almost as if fighting a major war at 50 percent manpower, including because serving conscripts are left at home, isn’t a good idea.
It’s incredible that a 145 million Russia with a 1-million military should be outnumbered on any section of the front, its troops left to face 2 to 1 odds, but that’s where we are.
PS.: This particular “border” video appears fake, but to my knowledge even the Russian side does not deny that Ukraine reached the Russian border at the village of Ternova.
A few days ago, drunk, (or high) Zelensky, cheerfully congratulates the tiktokers from Kharkov Volkssturm, who allegedly went to an unnamed section of the Russian-Ukrainian border and filmed a video with a border post there.

Yes, prices are rising, but not for the reasons the Federal Reserve says. When I say inflation is a hoax, I mean the purported cause is a hoax. The Fed is fighting a consumer inflation, a “demand-pull” inflation. But what we are experiencing is a supply-side inflation caused by the Covid lockdowns and economic sanctions that closed businesses, disrupted supply chains, and broke business relationships while reducing energy supplies to the UK and European countries, thus forcing up costs in a globalized economy.
The Republican Party has never stood up for Americans, will never stand up for them and is not going to do what it takes. Past is prologue.

Memory Assembly for Fuel Pressure or Boost
- Dial-in your high-speed lean-out quickly
- Play with setting up multiple lean-outs to see if it's a benefit for you
- Great indicator of fuel pump health over time
- Indication of nozzles or filter becoming obstructed
- Expose any pressure drop caused by filters after the fuel pump
- As an aid at idle to help set the barrel valve consistently
- Monitor blower boost and know the health of your rotor seals
- Capture maximum engine oil pressure
Finally, a remote mounted pressure memory kit! Other kits out there mount directly on the distribution block with hardware store brass nipples and tees. These are very susceptible to damage from vibration and they don't look very good sticking out in the breeze. The FIE kit can be mounted securely to the motor plate, firewall, chassis, manifold bolt, etc. and is plumbed to the system safely using a supplied custom 3AN hose.
Our special anodized aluminum tee can be mounted anywhere and the components can be installed in the tee in whatever configuration you like (gauge on top, on the side, etc.). The compact, rugged, shatter-proof, fluid-filled gauge is warranted by us for one year against damage from vibration.
We can configure this kit to your needs. The standard 0-160 PSI gauge can be substituted to allow capturing whatever range of pressure you desire. Custom hose lengths and fittings are no problem. The basic assembly comes with a 3' supply hose (overall length) with straight ends. If you'd like a custom length, please specify in the notes section of your order. 90 degree hose ends are optional below for $12 each (installed).
If you plan to ever run ANY nitromethane at all, please specify "methanol/nitro" for the fuel type in the options below. The component seals will be modified to be compatible with nitro.

Unlike most conventional logistics providers, our greatest strength is our ability to understand the fundamental driving force of our industry. We are a carrier. We own assets, we buy our own equipment and we hire our own drivers. We understand what it takes to purchase, maintain and run equipment safely. We understand hours of service, driver problems, waiting times and most importantly, we understand maximizing revenue and minimizing empty miles. Through respect and active communication, we have developed strong relationships with our partner carriers by bringing value-added efficiencies to their network and ensuring timely payment options. Reputed for providing strategic solutions to our members, whenever and however they need it. We understand trucking. We don’t just use it. Let us welcome you to the Fuel network and let us work for you.
