As one would expect from a brand that is named after such a powerful figure, this cigar is full bodied. Bolivar is simply one of the richest and most commanding brands within the Habanos portfolio. Although not for the novice, these traits are what make it one of the most sought-after names amongst more experienced cigar smokers.
The full gauge of the Belicoso Fino, combined with the tapered end of this Campana shape, which means “bell” in Spanish, creates the ideal format for a robust blend of leaves. The Belicoso Fino is presented either in labelled boxes or Cabinet Selection bundles of 25 cigars. The cigars in bundles are now banded.
In 2007 Cigar Aficionado described this cigar as “A gorgeous torpedo gleaming with oils. It has a near perfect draw that imparts a luxuriously textured smoke rich with profound wood and tobacco flavours”. Then, when revisiting the cigar in 2010 went on to say “The smoke has a velvety texture and is full of toast, earth and cedary flavours that cohere to a floral, herbaceous finish”. They also scored it an impressive 92 out of 100.
Min Ron NEE, in ‘An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post Revolution Havana Cigars’ describes the Belicosos Finos as a ‘Suave Bolivar’ with ‘earthy, subtle “tangy” fruity flavours’. He goes on to add ‘Bolivar is one of my favourite brands. If I was condemned to smoke only one brand, I have no hesitation that Bolivar would be the choice’.
Commercial Name: Belicosos Finos Factory Name: Campana Dimensions: 5½” (140mm) x 52 ring gauge Flavour category: Full Production method: Totally handmade using long filler with all leaves sourced from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba Presentations: 25-cigar Cabinet (SLB)
The Linea BHK swept all before it when the three sizes were launched in 2010, and yet it was the smallest, the BHK 52, that was awarded the prestigious Cigar Aficionado ‘Cigar of the Year’ in the same year. A stunning and unique taste from Havana.
Line: La Linea BHK Flavour: Full Vitola: Laguito No.4 Ring Gauge: 52 Length: 4 3/4 Inches / 119mm
The Medio Siglo, literally “Half Century” was released to celebrate the brand’s 50th anniversary and draws inspiration from the Linea 1492’s shortest (Siglo I at 4”, 104mm) and widest (Siglo VI at 52 ring gauge) offerings. The unique ‘extra fermentation’ that is conducted on the Seco and Legero of all Cohibas lasts for up to eighteen months and is conducted at the factory in cedar barrels. This extra age creates a unique taste. The famous Cohiba flavour is most often described as ‘Grassy’, although others have noticed tones of vanilla, cocoa and coffee. It is often noted how this extra fermentation makes the taste ‘smoother’ and more refined. Min Ron NEE, in his book “An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars” says of the Siglo range “Mild, creamy sweetness, medium bean flavour, subtle @Cohiba’ Grassy taste, mild floral and herbal flavours... all agree the Siglo IV is the best and most well balanced”. This very modern looking cigar delivers bundles of characteristic Cohiba taste, in a format ideal for when time is short. The wide gauge helps produce an abundance of smoke that drenches the palate and rewards the smoker with an easy, rounded and yet sophisticated experience.
Line: La Linea 1492 Flavour: Medium Vitola: Medio Siglo Ring Gauge: 52 Length: 4 Inches / 102mm
This is the first time that the Genios vitola has been used outside Cohiba. The Connossieur A is reserved throughout the world for sale only in Casas del Habano and shops that qualify as Havana Cigar Specialists.
Vitola: Genios Ring Gauge: 52 Length: 5 1/2 inches - 140 mm Flavour: Light to Medium
A classic Piramide that has lived for many years, undeservedly, in the shadow of its better known half-brother the Montecristo No.2. Less punchy in taste, but distinctly aromatic with all the burning qualities that the shape bestows
VITOLA: Piramide RING GAUGE: 52 LENGTH: 6 1/8 inches - 156 mm FLAVOUR: Light to Medium
Named after Alexandre Dumas’ hero Edmundo Dantes in ‘The Count of Montecristo’, the Edmundo was one of the first extra heavy gauge, parejo sizes produced in Cuba in the 21st century. Big and rewarding.
VITOLA: Edmundo RING GAUGE: 52 LENGTH: 5 1/3 inches - 135 mm FLAVOUR: Medium to Full
If ever one brand has come to dominate a particular vitola, this is it. The classic Pirámide or ‘torpedo’ size. Easy burning with a controlled release of faithful Montecristo flavours; many devotees look no further than this.
VITOLA: Pirámide RING GAUGE: 52 LENGTH: 6 1/8 inches - 156 mm FLAVOUR: Medium to Full
The latest release from Habanos to arrive in the UK is the Montecristo Wide Edmundo. It is the fourth cigar in the brand’s portfolio to bear the Edmundo name, following the launch of the original in 2004. However, uniquely among its stablemates, the Wide Edmundo is dressed with a second band bearing its name. The Wide Edmundo is an entirely new vitola (size) within the Habanos portfolio called the Duke No.3. It measures an impressive 4 7/8” (125mm) x 54 ring gauge.. Perhaps unsurprisingly, that makes it the heaviest ring gauge in the Edmundo range.
Montecristo is the benchmark brand for many cigar smokers. Its perfectly balanced blends are all created exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world. All sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and from 1 November, Keytruda® will be listed on the PBS for first-line treatment of people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Without PBS subsidy, Keytruda® would cost more than $11,300 per script – or $188,000 a year. Patients will now pay a maximum of $39.50 per script or just $6.40 per script for concessional patients and pensioners.
Keytruda® is an immunotherapy medicine that works with a patient’s own immune system to recognise cancer cells and destroy them. Clinical trials of Keytruda® for lung cancer showed that some patients became virtually cancer free after treatment.
This medicine is already listed on the PBS for classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma and unresectable Stage III or Stage IV malignant melanoma. Now, for the first time, eligible patients with advanced lung cancer can avoid chemotherapy and be treated with this novel immunotherapy treatment Keytruda®. The listing will benefit around 850 Australians a year.

The Shot Heard ’Round the World and Where to Get Yours
Who gets it and when? Know when to go for your COVID vaccine.
We’re symbolically done with 2020, but the flip of the calendar hasn’t erased reality: The coronavirus pandemic continues. The silver lining is that the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter, as state health officials said this week that more than 100,000 New Jerseyans received the COVID-19 vaccine since the first doses were administered Dec. 15. Even more promising is the state’s strategy to expand distribution of the vaccine as quickly as possible.
For those unfamiliar with the plan, here’s a quick rundown:
The plan is currently in Phase 1A: Priority is given to front-line healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities. Those who are qualified receive the vaccine at their facility or by appointment at locations selected by the state Department of Health. As of Thursday, five Bergen County sites have been designated to distribute the free vaccine—Bergen New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus, the Paramus Board of Health, Haworth Apothecary and ShopRite pharmacies in Englewood and Rochelle Park—while similar locations like CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens are also expected to receive doses.
As the rollout plan enters the next phases, six mega sites will open throughout the state, including the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, and will be used as vaccination hubs.
Phase 1B includes the inoculation of front-line essential workers, educators and individuals age 75 and older. This stage will begin when more doses of the vaccine are available. Phase 1C expands vaccination to other essential workers, adults ages 65–74 and anyone between the ages of 16–64 with medical conditions that put them at risk.
Phase 2 of the vaccine distribution, which incorporates the general public, will begin after the initial stages.
As of this week, vaccines will be given to those who have registered. All residents can sign up now to reserve a spot in the appropriate phase.
While patients wait for the vaccine, Bergen County and Bergen New Bridge Medical Center continue to offer free mobile testing at Bergen Community College in Paramus. The upcoming schedule for registered participants is Jan. 9, 11, 13 and 14 beginning with check-in at 8 a.m. Many urgent care facilities and pharmacy chains also offer COVID testing.

Eating Healthy Prior to Pregnancy
My wife and I are planning to have our first baby next year. Are there any foods she should be eating now to help make sure the baby is healthy?Suzy's Answer...
Wow, Russell! I’m impressed that you and your wife are thinking ahead! Many people don’t start thinking about the health of their baby until after they find out they are expecting. By that time, the baby has already been developing for 6-8 weeks! The time for your wife to start building up her nutritional status is now, before she is pregnant.
I hope that she always eats healthy, but if not, now is the time to pay attention to eating a well-balanced diet made up of fresh, whole foods.
She should include several servings of fruits or vegetables with each meal, as well as with snacks, along with some good quality protein foods, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.
She will want to limit her intake of processed foods and junk foods.
She might want to consider taking a vitamin/mineral supplement to fill in the gaps, so that her baby will have everything it needs to develop into a healthy child.
She needs to pay particular attention to getting enough folic acid, since this important B vitamin will help prevent birth defects.
Besides supplements, folic acid is found in leafy green vegetables, fortified grain products, beans, seeds and citrus fruits.
Oh, by the way, it's a good idea for you to eat a healthy diet, too, so that you will be up to the challenges of fatherhood! It will also make it easier for your wife to choose healthy foods, if you join her
in the endeavor. Here is a list of Healthy Eating Tips
*Eat a variety of fresh, whole foods, including selections from the five food groups—Vegetables, Fruits, Grains
, Meat and Legumes and Milk.
*Drink 6-8 glasses of filtered water each day, while avoiding soft drinks and limiting fruit juice.
*Include at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day, with an emphasis on vegetables.
*Include a serving of low-fat versions of good quality protein with each meal and snack.
*Eat a balanced diet with a ratio of 40-30-30 of good carbs, low-fat protein and good quality fats respectively.
*Eat colorful foods for their phytonutrients.
*Choose low-fat versions of dairy products and leaner meats.
*Eat good carbs such as whole grains most, if not all of the time.
*Choose unsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocado, nuts and seeds.
*Include fiber foods with each meal so that you get a total of 25-30 grams of fiber each day.
*Stay away from empty calories that provide calories but little nutrition.
*Limit your intake of foods with added sugar and salt.
*Limit pre-packaged foods and fast foods, which are generally over-processed, full of preservatives and high in sodium.
Our best wishes on starting your family, Russell, and be sure to let us know when the little bundle of joy arrives!
Eat and be healthy with my warmest regards,Suzy Staywellhttps://www.healthy-eating-support.org
Just wanted to let you know that my wife and I had a beautiful baby boy last week! She took your advice to heart and had a good pregnancy and the birth went very well, too. (Better for me than for her! :)
Thanks for your helpful advice,

Unemployment insurance is one of the staples of a functioning society. Having a functioning unemployment system acts as a cushion for any citizen in between or out of work. It ensures that unemployment recipients receive a basic standard of living while one searches for new work. It is not meant to be permanent or replace working, it is meant to ease the financial burden of hard-working families while they search for better opportunities for themselves and their families.
Unfortunately, that has not been the case here in Florida. A decade of Republican control of our state has left our social safety net completely gutted, ineffective, and harmful. Only now during a global pandemic are the deficiencies in the system being exposed. Floridians in the face of losing their jobs, a global pandemic, a recession, and a national economic shutdown were failed by their state leadership. Plain and simple. For over 1.7 million Floridians since mid-March unemployment has become their sole source of income. Floridians looked to their state government to cushion the economic blow of our current crisis and they were met with absolute ineptitude. Florida’s unemployment website couldn’t process the number of applicants and was notoriously buggy. Floridians would try for hours to make their account and file for economic assistance to no avail. Constant website disconnection and crashes made applying for unemployment assistance incredibly difficult and frustrating. Floridians were also unable to have their phone calls answered by the FDEO leaving many in unnecessary and unconscionable financial limbo; as the status of their applications was unknown. Millions of Floridians were left wondering when their money was coming, if their money was coming, if they filled out the forms correctly, among many other anxious thoughts.
How did the State of Florida respond to this crisis? It took them weeks to make payments to eligible Floridians and even then, the legality or stability of this source of income during the era of Covid-19 was still up in the air. Gov. Desantis spent an additional $119 million overhauling the unemployment system leaving many problems still intact and has resorted to victim-blaming Floridians if they have not received financial assistance. This behavior is unacceptable and hard-working Floridians should not stand to be treated so poorly.
However, the issues surrounding Florida’s unemployment system are not new. The system has been plagued with the same service problems and confusion since its initial overhaul by then Gov. Rick Scott in 2013. Gov. Scott instituted many changes that crippled an already lacking unemployment system. Scott spent $77 million of taxpayer money on an unemployment system designed to fail under the smallest amount of stress. Scott defended his cuts to unemployment by saying, “My big focus is to make sure people have jobs, so they don’t even have to look” for unemployment benefits. A theory that is impossible during a global pandemic. Per republican ideology, Scott deliberately made it harder to receive unemployment and reduced benefits to bailout Floridian businesses and cut their taxes. Now leaving millions of Floridians unnecessarily stressed, anxious, and confused. Scott cut the duration of benefits down from 26 weeks to 12 weeks. Benefits were also capped at $275 per week, one of the lowest caps in the entire country.
We must now come together to solve this problem and help the working families of Florida. Here is my plan to address Florida’s unemployment system:
· Require the FDEO to report the number of Floridians they have failed to reach.
· Ensure all benefits are retroactively paid dating back to the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis.
· Increase SNAP benefits for all Floridians to establish a base level of comfort and stability for Florida families.
· Include gig/self-employed workers in the unemployment system
· Double weekly benefit cap to $550
· Double benefit longevity back to 26 weeks

Are you shopping for a gift of fine jewelry this holiday? While anything you give will be appreciated, you may want to consider the latest jewelry trends before you put a present under the tree. Jewelry stores across the nation have already updated their inventory to include these styles. Norman Hege Jewelers in Rock Hill is no exception. Here’s our expert staff’s guide to some of the best jewelry trends for the 2018 holiday season.
- Gold chains – Larger, bolder gold chains are making a comeback. In fact, they’re a real hot-ticket item with today’s fashion influencers. Pendant chains are especially popular. Gold jewelry chains have always been considered a classic style. Unfortunately, the cost kept many people from purchasing the pieces they really wanted. However, thanks to current innovations in the jewelry industry, gold has become more affordable than ever.
- Stone- and sea-colored jewelry – Lapis lazuli, malachite, tiger’s eye are popular stone jewelry trends that you may have seen in fashion magazines or on celebrities. These accessories add volume to an outfit and are striking to look at. If you’re looking for a statement piece, consider picking up stone jewelry this winter. An additional trend is toward sea-colored jewelry. If you can find stones that resemble colors found in the ocean, that’s even better. You’ll be combining two trends at once!
- Chandelier-styled accessories– Next comes the elegance of another trend: chandelier jewelry. While this has been popular before, it’s worth taking a look at. Chandelier earrings add a perfect, graceful look to just about any outfit.
- Heart-shaped jewelry – Heart-shaped jewelry is another highly sought-after jewelry trend this season. There’s no better way to share the true meaning of the holidays than with a heart-shaped pendant, ring, or other piece of fine jewelry.
Get beautiful jewelry that will be on-trend for the season but will also stand the test of time. Norman Hege Jewelers is one of the top jewelry stores in our area. Come by today and find the perfect gift for your loved one!

Along with army, air force, Sécurité civile and air ambulance helicopters commitment, rotary-wings aircrafts of the Gendarmerie nationale, in France, participate in many types of missions related to the current health crisis. As for the armed forces and the Sécurité civile, their actions have multiplied over the past few weeks, as their usual role had to be maintained in full epidemic.
Since 1953, the Forces Aériennes de la Gendarmerie nationale, or FAGN (national Gendarmerie air forces), in France and in French overseas territories, are the only internal security air forces. In 2020, they consist of 56 helicopters and 32 drones, divided into 23 units in France and 6 units overseas. The rotary-wings aircrafts implemented by this particular Corps of the helicopter state fleet are of three types: AS350 (for 26 of them), EC145 and EC135 (15 aircrafts of each type). All those units are commanded by the CFAGN (Commandement des forces aériennes de la gendarmerie nationale) from the Vélizy-Villacoublay air force base, located a few kilometers of Paris. The fleet is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
It flies between 18 000 and 19 300 hours per year, depending on the year. In total, 152 pilots are assigned to it, on a global workforce of 483 officers and non-commissioned officers. The helicopters operational availability rate is “greater than 80 %, thanks to our mechanics and to the Groupement de maintien en condition opérationnelle (GMCO) based at Orléans and Nîmes. The GMCO perform maintenance operations every 1200 hours for the benefit of the AS350s, every 1000 and 800 hours, respectively, on the EC135s and EC145s”, said colonel Emmanuel Sillon, FAGN commander.
Three action frameworks
Deployed year round in the French airspace, Gendarmerie helicopters work in three areas: information gathering and decision support tool, intervention and crises management and, finally, assistance and rescue. The first part includes policing and judicial police mission. “Air assets allow us to cover large spaces, to anticipate the evolution of events on ground and to provide valuable insights to ground units. Thanks to its on-board advanced equipment, the helicopter is facing more and more complex internal security missions. The aforementioned equipment includes a thermal camera able to film day and night with optimal optical resolution (it allows to read a licence plate one kilometre away); loudspeakers and a spotlight capable, for example, of lighting a soccer filed from 300 m high; a winch and a rope jib used for quick commandos drop-off, such as the GIGN (Groupement d’intervention de la gendarmerie nationale) or the national police RAID (Recherche, assistance, intervention, dissuasion).”
In addition to this equipment, a crisis mapping system is used: the SC2. “SC2 is a complex system which aims within a few hours to establish a cartography of a possibly modified environment. In crisis management, time is a strong constraint. Images acquisition of the situation and associated cartography acquisition are essential for the conduct of operations. In crisis, the map becomes obsolete. Satellite images are slow to come. The crisis upsets usual references: it induces a change of landscape and of values. However, it is essential to understand the crisis in all its dimensions (intrinsic nature, intensity, extent, kinetic). Thus, the SC2 crisis cartography system brings real operational added value in order to plan, prepare and conduct operations, both for the military authorities and for administrative or judicial authorities. Let’s keep in mind that this cartography system had provided valuable services in the framework of the French Var department flood occurred in 2019”, said colonel Emmanuel Sillon.
Intervention and crisis management
The judicial police mission consists in supporting ground units looking for, or in pursuit of criminals. On-board equipment provides forensic evidence.The second part of the role played by Gendarmerie nationale helicopters consists in intervention and crisis management. “Helicopter is a valued ally of counterterrorism capacities and of illegal immigration control. This was the case during Trèbes hostage taking, on 23 march 2019, for the projection of intent elements and intelligence gathering. In the French overseas territories, in particular in Mayotte, the Gendarmerie air section (SAG: section aérienne de gendarmerie) peforms administrative police missions focused on the fight against illegal immigration from Comoros islands.”
Finally, in terms of assistance and rescue, gendarmerie helicopters are implemented “at sea and in the mountains to protect human lives, to ensure the judicial processing of claims and, thus, to protect victims interests. Where access is impossible for men and when particular technique is necessary (hoist), helicopters are taking over.” The health crisis related to Covid-19 epidemic has required the transfer of many patients (more than 600 on mid-April) to French hospitals able to accommodate new patients, but also to care facilities located in Germany, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Austria. FAGN were called upon for this. “Vélizy-Villacoublay, Lyon and Hyères SAGs contribute to these transfers, in order to decongest saturated hospitals. The Vélizy-Villacoublay SAG had been integrated in the Paris-Orly hub.” More precisely, “In the early days of April, seven missions of this kind had been performed, essentially from the sanitary hub established at Paris-Orly and Lyon. Two Gendarmerie aerial units have been solicited: the Vélizy-Villacoubaly and Lyon SAGs.”
The anti spread fight
Like the other state and private operators called to transfer infected patients, FAGN has to adapt helicopters layout. “Our aircrafts are prepared in accordance with the rules issued by the Ministry of Health for the air ambulance fleets. Those rules were taken over by Airbus Helicopters through two of its recent publications. Otherwise, each aircraft is disinfected after each mission: headset microphone, flight controls and handles are carefully cared for. The facilities are disinfected with every crew change. Individually, during these missions, crews wear protection’s masks, gloves, protective gown, also in accordance with the standards established by the medical authorities.” Along those missions, FAGN aircrafts participate in the support of the internal security forces territorial action, in relation to the containment measures, “just like vital points of interest security operations aiming to preserve the people energy, food and sanitary supply chain.”

There are many things to see in La Palma, an island which is nicknamed “Isla Bonita” which means “Beautiful Island” in Spanish.
La Palma has been declared a biosphere reserve such is its charm and natural beauty. Stretching to a total area of 706 square kilometres there are few places in the world packed with such fabulous scenery. The island is full of handicraft activity centres, restaurants, historic landmarks, architecturally significant buildings, dramatic volcanoes, lush forests, spectacular mountains, fascinating trails, and gorgeous stretches of the Atlantic Ocean. La Palma is a great place to enjoy the mobility of a hire car which allows you to delve into all the little nooks and crannies of a remote island.
Go on an adventure in the Los Tilos Forest
Hundreds of thousands of years ago laurel forests covered much of the world, but because of changes in the climate only a few are left today. Los Tilos Forest is one of them. Inquiries should be made at the Los Tilos Visitor Centre where tourists can be well looked after by a professional collection of staff with great knowledge of the many walking routes through the nature reserve. One famous walk is called Marcos and Cordero. It covers about 15 kilometres of beautiful terrain and lasts about seven hours. The path takes trekkers through 13 tunnels and stops off at the Los Tilos waterfall.
Enjoy the views from el Roque de los Muchachos
At 2426 meters above sea level, el Roque de los Muchachos is the highest point in the island of La Palma. It is a fabulous location to observe from below or climb up and admire a vista which includes enchanting views of the volcanic landscape of the Caldera de Taburiente National Park and the Atlantic Ocean. Such is the clarity of the sky above this mountain that some of the most important observatories in the world are housed in the vicinity.
Swim in the calm and transparent waters of Charco Azul
Natural pools are one of the Canary Islands great attractions, and one of the most famous is called Charco Azul. It is located in the municipality of San Andrés y Sauces. This swimming spot is sandwiched between an immense ocean and rugged volcanic rocks. A trip to Charco Azul allows visitors to experience nature in an unusually raw setting.
Photograph the traditional architecture of Santa Cruz de La Palma
Santa Cruz de La Palma, the capital of La Palma, is blessed with many architecturally significant buildings. The area is renowned for colonial structures which include ornate wooden balconies. Well tended squares and picturesque streets make this a photogenic location for photography loving visitors.
Discover the art of salt in Las Salinas
Las Salinas de Fuencaliente is listed as a site of scientific interest because of the range of migrating birds that frequent the area. The location is also an important centre for salt extraction. This unusual landscape mixes three colours: white, pink and black. The salt collected into piles is white while the pools where the important mineral is extracted from is pink. In the background the black volcanic hills complete the unusual colour scheme. This location is worth visiting for the fascinating manner in which traditional and old-fashioned methods for extracting salt are displayed side by side.
Walk among volcanoes
The San Antonio Volcano is in Fuencaliente which is in the south of La Palma. The volcanic crater was formed during an eruption in 1677 and today it provides a beautiful landscape for visitors to wander around. During the day views across La Palma can be enjoyed, while during the night the sky turns black and reveals thousands of twinkling stars. There is a visitor centre connected to the volcano which allows tourists to discover more about the local history.
Swim on a volcanic sandy beach
Los Cancajos beach (located in the eastern side of La Palma) has black sand and small waves. Swimming can be enjoyed in calm waters throughout the year thanks to the volcanic rock breakwater. In this bay there are caves and an enormous wealth of underwater life for divers and snorkelers to enjoy.

Her seminar talk will focus on the ways in which merchants, specifically the long-distance traders from Old Assyrian Assur, balanced their professional identity as merchants with their civic identity – both negotiating and maintaining various aspects of their collective character as a community working and living abroad in Anatolia. Religious belief and practice were an integral part of this collective identity and the known religious practices of the Old Assyrian merchants will be discussed within a wider study on the religious lives of merchants in the ancient Near East.
Nancy Highcock is working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in ”Memories for Life” projects currently underway at Uppsala and Cambridge universities. The projects are analyzing dedicatory practices of private peoples from the 3rd – 1st millennia in ancient Mesopotamia. Merchants constitute a rich case study for how the non-royal elite shaped several spheres of urban life, including that of religion.
The meeting takes place on Tuesday 26th February at 4:15–6 pm in the faculty hall of the Faculty of Theology (Fabianinkatu 24, room 524, access from the inner courtyard of Vuorikatu 3).
Coffee and buns will be served.
AMME seminar is open for everyone interested, welcome!

Written by Alexis E.
Before attending affirmation class, I always believed in God. I went to Sunday School when I was younger, attended church, prayed to God, and went to youth group. I also attended Beauty Projects through my Aunt April’s “Her Life Speaks” Ministry, and went to Christian Camp every summer. I knew that God was present in my life, but I didn’t actually know how to have God WITH me during my life.
Everyone goes through ups and downs in their lives. Whenever something good or bad would happen to me, I would just wonder what God’s purpose was it for. I desired a strong relationship with God and wanted Him to speak to me directly, so I would include that in my prayers.
I used to hear stories where people had heard God talk to them personally, or felt a dramatic change in their life once they accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. I wanted a story to share with people. I was once asked if I wanted to write my testimony and share it on this website. Of course I wanted to, so one night I sat down and wrote up some events that had occurred in my life. I stared at it, and realized there really wasn’t anything major I could share with others. I hadn’t gone through a struggle I thought I needed to in order to have a story.
Then one day my parents told me our church pastor was starting affirmation class. I was really excited because I thought that this was finally my opportunity to grow in my faith. And honestly, it was. During those months I felt my relationship with God change as I learned the answers to my unanswered questions and learned how to defend what I believe. I am here today affirming my faith because I truly believe that Jesus Christ died for me and my sins, and I accept Him as my Savior.
“For we live by faith and not by sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7
First, I now talk to God like He is my friend. I tell God everything on my mind because I know He is listening to me, and wants to be involved in my life. I learned not to block God out when I am struggling, but to invite Him in, to let Him feel it with me.
“I have called you friend” Jesus John 15:15
Second, I now know how to backup what I am saying in a conversation about God. In school, it is hard to find Christian friends. I am faced with the challenge of being excluded by peers because of what I believe.
I used to be scared to speak up about it because I wasn’t sure if I was saying the right things. I realize now that it isn’t about getting embarrassed if you don’t know something because no one has all of the answers. It is about saving someone’s soul for eternity, which is most important. I can now use this to defend my faith and share it with others if the topic of Christ is brought up.
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15
Lastly, I know there is only one way to get to heaven. You don’t go to heaven by simply doing good works. You can still be a good person, but there is more to it. You have to accept Jesus Christ as your savior and believe that he died for your sins.
Overall, after attending these affirmation classes, I realize that this is my testimony. My story is MY story. I grew up in a Christian household, and found a way to grow in my faith, and truly believe what I have been taught. I feel like I have the real relationship with God I always longed-for. Affirmation class was an answer to those prayers. So, thank you God for always watching over me. Thank you, Jesus for dying for me so I can be saved, and go to Heaven.
How about you? What’s your story? Did you always believe in God? Are you still trying to find some answers? Or did you have a dramatic experience that started your faith?

I'd like to begin my praise story with; I am a breast cancer survivor of 16 years. I say this right away so that you won't feel sorry for me because it is past history.
Prior to 2002, I had begun a closer relationship with God. I had been attending bible studies and realized how much God loved me and how important He is in my life. So when I was told that I had breast cancer, I admit I was shocked and afraid. I pleaded with God to let me live, I wanted to see my grandchildren. It was too soon. Though that afternoon was full of fear and uncertainty for myself and my family, the day was over and a new day began. My life had not changed. I still got up made breakfast and continued my day and the next and so on. I thank God that I had people in my life that I turned to for prayer and support.
God was and is my strength.
God is always there waiting for me to realize that I can always turn to Him. "So be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you or abandon you." Deuteronomy 31:6
Right after I was diagnosed, I was at a church service and one of the readings were Psalm 103:1 and 3 "Let all that I am praise the Lord with my whole heart. I will praise His holy name. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.” I felt God was letting me know He heard me.
It has been many years since and my relationship with God has grown. Spending time with Him in prayer and attending bible studies has increased my joy and faith in God and my Savior Jesus Christ. One of my studies and book that I read was the "The Circle Maker" by Pastor Mark Batterson. I learned to circle my family and friends in prayer for their redemption, health, protection, etc. One of my prayer requests was to be blessed with grandchildren. My faith and trust continued to grow through my prayers and time spent with God. The first prayer asking for grandchildren was in 2002 when I was diagnosed and neither of my sons were married. When I prayed again asking God to circle them with blessings, protection and health and praying for a grandchild, God answered my prayer. Within a year of my prayer requests, I was blessed with the announcement that I was to be a grandmother and my grandson was born on January 1st, 2017.
God hears our prayers and answers in His time. I had learned trust and patience.
One final note on God answering prayers. My father's name was John. He passed away when I was very young. I thought it would be nice to have the baby named John though I never mentioned this to my son and daughter-in-law. They told us of their decision to name the baby Ian Tyler when we were vacationing together. When I returned to work I told my friends the baby's name was Ian Tyler. We decided to look up what the name means. Ian is Scottish for John. And the name Ian means a gift from God. What overwhelming joy I felt when I heard this. To know God hears us and answers our prayers. Only God can grant our prayers when we are faithful and if it is for our good. Isaiah 30: 18-19 "So the Lord must wait for you to come to Him so He can show you His love and compassion for the Lord is a faithful God."
Have you had a time in your life that you had to put your trust in the Lord and patiently wait for His answers? Have you experienced God's answers and was it the answers you wanted or needed? Comment below.
Her Life Speaks is all about Her testimony, Her life, and who God is in Her story. Here we write our stories in hopes of helping other women find their relationship with Jesus Christ.

In other occurrences, you can get a check in place of the prize! You'd be surprised how many contest fine prints offer to swap out the prize in place of an easy check.

Looking for the perfect golf brolly to keep you sheltered during your game?
Made in sizes larger than standard umbrellas, a golf umbrella is a golfer’s refuge in bad weather. Golf umbrellas are designed to withstand the ruggedness that comes with outdoor use. They are so spacious they comfortably protect the golfer and his equipment. A bigger size can shelter your caddy too. Their frames and canopies are built to withstand strong, gusty winds and the scorching heat.
Non-golfers can buy a golf umbrella too. They make great promotional gifts because of their functionality.
This article is your short buying guide of golf umbrellas. We’ve discussed in detail the key factors to consider when making a purchase of a golf umbrella.
Table of Contents
Golf Umbrella Sizes
The size of the shade matters. You don’t want to get wet in a heavy downpour because the umbrella shade is of a smaller size.
Golf umbrellas are available in multiple sizes, starting from 50 inches going right up to a massive 70-inch canopy. The right size depends on where you are likely to use it and the level of protection you expect. A bigger size is recommended for a game on a golf course. It holds up well in inclement weather and offers maximum protection. A bigger golf umbrella also means that more people will be able to take cover under it should the need arise.
However, a larger size canopy also means a heavier umbrella. So, if you plan to carry it with you, you want a compact, lightweight design that can probably be folded and stashed into your golf bag. To add, if you plan to use your golf umbrella as a substitute for your regular umbrella, you might want to settle for the smallest size available. Wider canopies can be inconvenient on crowded streets.
While it is obvious an umbrella is waterproof, they differ in the degree of waterproofness. The type of fabric determines how well an umbrella holds in a heavy downpour in terms of waterproofness. Polyester, nylon, pongee, and PVC (for transparent golf umbrellas) are the popular fabric choices for umbrella canopies.
When compared, nylon is the most expensive followed by pongee. Polyester is the cheapest. Of the three, pongee has the highest durability. It brings together the best features of polyester and nylon. The degree of water resistance is highest with pongee. Adding to this is its high level of UV protection. So, you can enjoy optimum protection from the sun and the rain.
Nylon canopies look good with a smooth and wrinkle-free appearance. However, there have been complaints about shrinking fabric under extreme weather conditions. Polyester does a good job but falls short with its stiff and rough texture. Plastic canopies are not advisable if you will be spending long hours outdoors. Prolonged exposure to weather elements breaks down the fabric.
Bear in mind that while most golf umbrellas are built to protect from sun, rain, and wind, a few are designed with specific weather conditions in mind. For instance, a waterproof double canopy and reinforced construction would hold better in high wind and rain conditions. For sunny areas, we recommend a UV protection of 50+.
Buying an umbrella also involves choosing between a single and double canopy design. Don’t know what that means? Think back to the times you found yourself wrestling an inverted umbrella in the middle of a storm.
A double canopy has vents. These outlets break the force of the wind and provide a passage to release the air. This prevents the umbrella from turning inside out. The vents also allow the trapped heat to escape keeping you cool during the sweltering summers. Despite having vents, a double canopy umbrella keeps you dry by keeping the rain out. The venting design is the chief difference between a single and a double canopy. The double canopy design is your best bet for extremely windy climes.
Speaking of canopy designs, golf umbrella selections include round and square-shaped models too.
We’ve all been in situations where we’ve struggled to open an umbrella. You are all drenched but that stubborn button won’t budge. That’s the last thing you want to be dealing with while you are busy playing a game of golf.
The opening and closing mechanism can be manual or automatic. Auto-open and close feature on a golf umbrella allows quick and convenient operation, at the touch of a single button. So, you won’t find yourself struggling to open your umbrella. Automatic push buttons also enable single-handed operation.
Golf Umbrella Frames
If you want a durable umbrella that will hold up well in extreme weather conditions, filter your search for sturdy frames. Fiberglass, aluminum, and wood are commonly used frame materials.
Fiberglass frames are favored for their high-wind resistance and flexibility. Fiberglass shafts flex and thus do not snap in case of being blown by heavy winds. Despite their solid build, they are extremely lightweight and non-corrosive. They are great for larger-sized golf umbrellas as they cut back on weight. Not just this! There’s yet another advantage of using fiberglass. It is resistant to lightning.
Aluminum frames featuring aluminum ribs are heavy-duty, tough, and economical. Powder-coated aluminum shafts are less corrosive. Some aluminum frames use steel and fiberglass ribs instead of aluminum ribs to further reduce frame weight. Their sturdy constructions render them best-suited for commercial and residential applications.
Wooden frames feature solid hardwood shafts with wooden ribs that are built to last. It lends a classic, vintage look. Wooden frames are heavier than their aluminum and fiberglass counterparts. In some designs, stainless steel and fiberglass ribs are used to add flexibility to an otherwise rigid structure. Reinforced constructions and a larger number of ribs make the umbrella sturdy.
Handles make a difference to the look of a golf umbrella but are more important from the point of view of handling comfort. You need to carefully consider handle design given that golf umbrellas may be used regularly and for longer durations. Ergonomic designs distribute weight evenly and reduce strain on the hand.
There’s an extensive range of handle designs to choose from – the traditional curved handle, sleek and stylish wooden handles, or rubberized and textured fittings. Non-slip handles molded to fit the shape of your hand offer the best grip to golfers especially in high-wind conditions.
Given that a golf umbrella will be used outdoors, the best handle material is polyurethane. It is durable, comfortable, and waterproof. Golf umbrellas also feature foam handles. However, they are not as durable as polyurethane. Standard foam handles show signs of wear over time. Avoid steels handles. They are extremely uncomfortable. They are also not safe if in case of lightning.
Curved (J-shaped) handles are easy to hook and store. A golf umbrella with a sleek, straight handle can be packed and carried with your golf clubs in a golf bag.
Lightweight umbrellas are easy to transport and carry around. The total product weight depends on the material used for the frame, the size of the umbrella, and the number of fabric layers on the canopy.
Foldable designs are very practical as they are space-saving and portable. There are straight umbrellas that retain their length when closed. Foldable designs collapse into a smaller size and can easily fit into a purse or a side pocket of your golf club. Some umbrellas have two folds while others may have three. Portability is an important feature when choosing a golf umbrella.
Colors, Patterns, and Designs
Functional golf umbrellas need not be dull and drab. You can always choose a design that reflects your personality. There are solid colored umbrellas, from the classic black to brighter shades. You can also choose from among striped, patterned, and theme (sports, floral) golf umbrellas. Select umbrella vendors also offer custom design services. So, you can create a unique design printed with your company logo or tagline.
The price point is the deciding factor in most cases. A higher price tag is not always a guarantee for the best quality. You should get value for the money paid. Look for high-quality, durability, and sturdiness.
- Only some umbrellas offer a sleeve for storage. If you can get a golf umbrella that includes one in the package, it comes very handily. It keeps your umbrella tidy and makes it more portable.
- Some golf umbrellas have a hook at the end of the shaft. It enables golfers to attach the umbrella to other things easily.
- Hands-free golf umbrellas are a popular choice among golfers. They enable one to attach the brolly to a golf cart.
Now that we have gone over all the important selection points, take your time to compare golf umbrellas for their size and length, canopy design and fabrics, handle styles, and umbrella weight. Also, remember that selected golf umbrella brands are known for their exceptional quality and competitive pricing. Take your time to peruse golf umbrellas online as well as in-store. Take time to read up on customer reviews before you finalize your golf umbrella purchase. They give you a better insight into the product helping you make an informed decision.

How To Confirm A Demonic Presence
This article is more than four years old.
A demon is a non-human entity, they are blame for demonic hauntings and possession, but it can be hard to determine if the activity is truly a result of a demonic entity or not. Not all possessions are demonic, they may be the result of malevolent human spirits, which aren't as powerful as demons. The same applies for hauntings, it's difficult to know if you are dealing with an evil human spirit or a demon.
To make it even harder to work out, demons will often lie about who are what they are to avoid detections and some paranormal investigators think that human spirits will sometimes pretend to be demons to make themselves appear more powerful and more terrifying.
Demonic haunting are very similar to poltergeist hauntings, they are both characterised by physical movement as well as the manipulation of the environment around the entity. They are also dealt with in the same way, exorcists are brought in to try to help both move them on.
In demonic cases the activity usually starts out slowly and in a playful manner, but increases in intensity, slowly becoming more and more malicious. During a paranormal investigation it's always wise to evaluate every encounter to determine whether it's a spirit or a demon, especially if the entity claims to be the ghost of a child, this tends to be a common cover story for demons.
During a Ouija board session, demons can often be detected by mischievous behaviour, through inconsistent answers or blatant lies. Usually when starting a session, you call out to any spirits that might be present, "is there anybody there?" After a while you should see the planchette move across the board, hopefully towards "yes", but sometimes the planchette moves to "no", this is said to be a strong indication that you've encountered a demon. Another sign is when you ask a spirit its age and the planchette moves to the number zero on the board. There may also be cases where a demon simply introduces itself as such through the board.
It's not just Ouija boards through which demons make their presence known, but through all forms of spirit communications especially when using electronic means to record spirit voices.
Two common devices used for this purpose are digital audio recorders and spirit boxes. Audio recorders are used to try to capture Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP), the spirit voices are not heard at the time but when reviewing the audio any EVPs may be present.
A spirit box rapidly scans through the AM, MW and FM radio spectrum, as it does fleeting bursts of white noise and static can be heard. Spirit boxes usually have various setting which allow you to tweak which bands the device scans through and how much of each frequency step you hear, this usually ranges from a hundredth of a second up to a second. Just like with audio recorders, you should be able to hear EVPs amongst this white noise, however the answer will be audible in realtime.
Whichever method you are using, you should call out to any spirits that might present and encourage them to come forward, talk to you, and answer you questions. If using a record leave a gap for the spirit to answer, or when using a spirit box listen for their answers within the noise of the spirit box, ideally a response which spans across several steps of the frequency scan.
When reviewing the audio from a recorder or listening to responses through a spirit box it's not uncommon to hear voices in the audio answering questions, but if the voice sounds gruff, deep or animalistic then you may have encountered a demon. Demons are also sometimes captured in EVPs as growls.

If a demon attaches itself to a house, an object within a house or a person in the household, then the results will be the same, the household will experience haunting phenomenon which closely resembles the activity you'd expect in a poltergeist case. Those living in the house may feel a general sense of discomfort or dread, witness objects moving and event see apparitions.
It can be very difficult to determine if this activity is the result of a demon or just a malevolent spirit, but here are a few ways to help you decide.
In demonic hauntings the entity often starts by ensuring the environment is safe for them, unfortunately this might result in the sudden and unexpected death pets. It's believed that this is because pets are often thought to have some perception of spirit world and could therefore potentially warn their owner of a demonic presence.
You may also find that protective or spiritual items are destroyed or inexplicably lost, traditionally this would have just been religious objects such as a crucifix, bible or rosaries, but in the modern day could be anything that is charged with positive energy in order to offer protection such as sentimental jewellery or good luck charms.
In demonic hauntings activity usually happens in threes or sixes, for example you might hear six knocks or find three scratch marks on a wall. They also result negativity between family members or friends, which increases and lead to arguments, fights, and general discord.
As with poltergeist hauntings, demonic attachments often centres around one person and the entity often poses as a child, especially when the victim is a child themselves. This may be explained away as an imaginary friend to start with, but eventually the demon may begin to show itself to others in the household. One thing to look out for if a demon does manifest is its movement. Even if it is visible as nothing more than a shadowy mass, demons are said to usually move from left to right across a field of view.
Other signs to look out for include entire homes or rooms are ransacked even though nothing has been taken and writing on walls or other places in the building. In extreme cases victims may awaken at night to a feeling of being held down in bed, and then upon waking, discovering unexplained bruises or scratches on their body.
There are a few possibilities when it comes to confirming a demonic possession. Firstly there maybe no possession at all, the alleged possession could be a result of mental illness, dilution or nothing more the a faked incident. These possibilities should obviously all be considered when diagnosing a case. Secondly, the case might not be demonic in nature and could just be a spirit walk-in or another type of spirit attachment. Third and finally, it could be a genuine case of demonic possession.
It's said that the easiest way to confirm whether a possession is demonic is to use a protective item without the victim being aware. We'll explore protective items more in a later topic, but this can be any object which is charge with positive energy or has religious significance, or holy water if that has meaning to you.
You should hold the protective item behind the head of the possessed without them knowing to see if they react. If they are truly a demonic entity then they should react to its proximity. You can also try using regular items, if the possession is real then they will not react to an item that isn't blessed or empowered in some way. If using holy water, try sprinkling regular tap water and blessed water over the victim to see how they react.
Signs that someone is possessed are that the person does not blink, they may become withdrawn and start to pull away from their family and friends, and lose interest in their usual hobbies, interests and commitments. They may also become emotional intensity, specifically in the form of anger directed to those around them.
Also look out for unexplained marks on the body such as scratches, bites and bruises, especially if they are in places where the victim shouldn't be able to inflict those injuries on themselves.
They may also show inexplicable signs of illness and weakness of either the body and mind. Signs off this might include weight loss, hair loss, change in skin tone, loss of appetite, vomiting, and loss of energy. Contrary to this, those who are possessed are sometimes said to have extreme strength beyond their normal abilities.
One other indication is that a demon might start to communicate through the possessed and identify itself as a demon.

In the modern era of business, organizations face increasing complexities in managing their human resources effectively. This is where a Human Resource Management System (HRMS) emerges as a valuable solution. An HRMS is a comprehensive software platform that integrates various HR functions into a unified system. In this blog, we will delve into the advantages of a Human Resource Management System and how it empowers organizations to optimize their HR processes, improve decision-making, and foster employee engagement.
One of the significant advantages of implementing a Human Resource Management System is the streamlining of HR processes. Traditional manual methods of managing HR tasks, such as recruitment, onboarding, attendance tracking, and leave management, can be time-consuming and prone to errors. An HRMS automates these processes, eliminating manual paperwork and reducing administrative burdens. This automation not only saves time but also ensures accuracy, consistency, and compliance with relevant policies and regulations.
An HRMS provides a centralized database for storing and managing employee information. This centralized approach offers several advantages in terms of data management. HR professionals can easily access and update employee data, reducing the need for manual record-keeping and minimizing the risk of data duplication or loss. Furthermore, an HRMS ensures data security and confidentiality, allowing organizations to comply with data protection regulations.
With its advanced reporting and analytics capabilities, an HRMS enables HR professionals and decision-makers to gain valuable insights into workforce trends, performance metrics, and HR-related expenses. By generating real-time reports and analytics, an HRMS empowers organizations to make data-driven decisions regarding talent acquisition, workforce planning, performance evaluation, and training initiatives. This not only enhances decision-making but also enables proactive HR strategies aligned with organizational goals.
Employee engagement is crucial for organizational success and productivity. An HRMS plays a pivotal role in enhancing employee engagement by providing self-service portals and employee-centric features. Through employee self-service portals, employees can access their personal information, update their profiles, view payslips, apply for leave, and access training resources. This self-service functionality empowers employees, increases their autonomy, and fosters a sense of ownership and engagement with their HR-related tasks.
Staying compliant with labor laws, regulations, and industry standards is a critical aspect of HR management. An HRMS helps organizations ensure compliance by automating various HR processes and generating accurate reports. By incorporating built-in compliance features, such as payroll tax calculations, benefits administration, and leave tracking, an HRMS reduces the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties. This provides organizations with peace of mind and ensures that HR practices align with legal requirements.
As organizations grow and evolve, their HR requirements change. An HRMS offers scalability and adaptability to accommodate these changing needs. Whether it's handling a larger workforce, expanding to new locations, or integrating with other business systems, an HRMS provides the flexibility to scale and adapt without disrupting existing HR processes. This scalability ensures that organizations can effectively manage their HR operations as they grow and adapt to market dynamics.
Implementing a Human Resource Management System brings numerous advantages that can transform HR operations and drive organizational success. From streamlining HR processes and efficient data management to improving decision-making, fostering employee engagement, ensuring compliance, and offering scalability, an HRMS empowers organizations to optimize their HR functions. By embracing the advantages of an HRMS, organizations can enhance their HR efficiency, improve employee satisfaction, and gain a competitive edge in today's dynamic business environment.

You are fortunate to have three birthstones to call your own if you were born in the month of June. Only three monthsJune, August, and Decemberhave three birthstones each, providing you a wide selection of lovely birthstones to choose from.
Moonstone, alexandrite, and pearl are the birthstones for June. Due to the variety of colors and price ranges these gems offer, people with June birthdays can find a birthstone that suits their mood or budget.
What month’s birthstone is pearl?
Birthstone for June is pearl. White is the birthstone for June. Birthstones may be associated with nostalgic Mother’s Day gifts and children’s jewelry, but contemporary designs and new applications are bringing these twelve semi-precious stones back into the spotlight.
Why are there three birthstones for June?
Why are there three birthstones for June? Some months have more than one birthstone because different historical stones have become extremely rare, making it less likely that they would be sold on the market and meet consumer demand.
Is the pearl the June birthstone?
The June birthstone that is most revered and traditional is the pearl. They can add flair to any clothing by giving it a feminine, romantic sense. They have a long legendary history, and legends indicate that mermaids’ and angels’ tears were used to create them.
What does the birthstone pearl stand for?
According to astrology, the pearl is the birthstone for June. Additionally, they claim that the stone is in harmony with the Gemini zodiac sign. People have long held the notion that pearls offer serenity, love, luck, and knowledge.
Their white color is linked to purity and brightness. The birthstone pearl is hence symbolic of purity and sincerity. It is believed that wearing it as your birthstone can bring love and luck to new life starts like marriage, home moves, and infants.
What birthstone has the rarest stone?
While some birthstones are more accessible than others, precious gemstones in particular are thought to be relatively scarce. However, given that some really expensive stones are not all that rare and vice versa, price tags can be deceiving when it comes to rarity. For instance, although expensive, April’s diamond is less rare than rubies, emeralds, and alexandrite. Speaking of alexandrite, it is now the most expensive and rarest gemstone on the list of birthstones. Additionally extremely rare, black opals are.
Birthstones provide an intriguing way to select jewelry. They enable people to investigate jewels that they might otherwise avoid. However, birthstones are not always what people think they are, so make sure you are buying birthstone jewelry for the right reasons while making your selection.
Pearl, is she an alexandrite?
The Alexandrite is the birthstone most commonly associated with June, while the month also features the Pearl, Moonstone, and Moonstone as birthstones.
When it was believed that alexandrite was more common than pearls, it took the place of the pearl as the birthstone.
That is not the situation today.
High-grade alexandrite is incredibly uncommon and in high demand.
The stone’s propensity to alter color under incandescent light has made it famous. It is a greenish blue stone.
From green to crimson to purple, it changes.
Typically, alexandrite gemstones weigh up to 5 carats. Larger stones are really difficult to find. When crafting jewelry, some people take into account alternate birthstones such moonstones or pearls, or the potential of fusing alexandrite with other jewels, as this month’s birthstone can be challenging to find.
What hue does June represent?
The June hues are light purple, white, and cream. Three colorsall of which are lighter in hue and exquisiterepresent the month of June. White is the color of purity, light purple is the color of elegance and monarchy, and cream is the color of serenity. The word June, which denotes the sixth month of the year, comes from the Roman goddess of protection known as Juno. June is a motivating month with a strong desire to do something. Using June colors rids your home of negativity and fosters a happy vibe everywhere you go. According to color psychology, colors have a significant influence on our moods and daily life. In actuality, colors also influence our conduct.
The dominant color for June is light purple. The three colors for June are cream, white, and light purple. Many people have a strong belief in horoscopes and colorology, and they decorate their homes with the color of the month each month. It’s not necessary to have the June hue throughout the entire space; simply a small amount of light purple or white would do. You can adjust the little decorative items or showpieces to light purple without changing the color of the walls. The bedding is one of the simplest methods to bring the June color into the bedroom. You undoubtedly frequently replace your bedding. White pillows and a light purple bed cover should be added to the space. You’re going to adore this color scheme!

Rembrandt as an etcher, the practice of production and distribution (3 parts)
Rembrandt van Rijn was not just a famous painter, he was also of paramount importance as an etcher. He was far more adventurous than his contemporaries in experimenting with the potential of the technique, and his oeuvre is both large and very varied. Even today his work is a benchmark for every serious etcher. This book is the first to take a look at the more practical aspects of Rembrandt's production of etchings.
Close attention is of course paid to the way in which the various states were made and how they evolved. The author also deals with the questions of how Rembrandt printed the impressions, whether he did that himself, and in what quantities. The financial aspects of printmaking are also considered at length. All of this provides many new insights into Rembrandt, the way in which he produced his etchings, and the artistic and technical considerations that played a part in the process.
An indispensable aid for answering these questions is the author's research into the watermarks in Rembrandt's etchings, the results of which are published here in full. The watermarks make it possible to date not only individual impressions but often different states as well. More than 2,400 watermarks have been X-rayed and catalogued.
That systematic list, which is printed in full as an appendix, builds on the 1998 work done by Ash and Fletcher and substantially expands on it. The watermarks are not simply catalogued but have been studied in connection with the impressions in which they appear, most of which can now be firmly dated. That chronological list of watermarks is also included in the book. The usefulness of the watermark catalogue is greatly enhanced by the fact that all the watermarks are reproduced in their true size. It is now also possible to arrive at a swift dating of previously unexamined impressions of Rembrandt's etchings that contain a watermark.

Each year in October, the City of Vancouver joins communities and organizations throughout the region to mark Homelessness Action Week. In honour of this important event, we’d like to share one of Hollyburn’s longest-standing and proudest community initiatives.
Twelve years ago, Hollyburn Properties and Covenant House, a non-profit providing shelter, food and crisis care to homeless youth, began a partnership. What started with a monthly clothing drive, has since expanded into a unique transitional housing program for homeless youth. Hollyburn currently donates five fully furnished and fully subsidized apartments to Covenant House youth in Vancouver (3) and Toronto (2).
“Hollyburn was the pioneer in progressively supporting those who need housing most by giving them just that – actual housing!” – said Marty, CH Associate Manager.
We are extremely proud to set an example in the property management industry of a successful private-public housing partnership. Follow along on “a day in the life” in our Hollyburn Properties – Covenant House Youth Housing Program video:
This program is one of the ways we build our community. Do you give back in your own way? Tell us how and enter our contest to win FREE RENT FOR A YEAR until October 31st, 2015.
Check out other City of Vancouver events and initiatives committed to raising awareness and ending street homelessness, on until the end of the month.

The community of Dominican friars at Holy Cross provide many different ministries in Leicester and Leicestershire.
Covering Living Costs
Holy Cross has to be able to support the living costs of the community of friars plus the maintenance of their home, the Priory.
The parish alone cannot cover all of these costs, so some of the friars undertake paid ministries in the local prison or teaching in Oxford. Even with these outside sources of income, the annual budget remains tight, and donations are needed to help cover the friars’ living costs.
Use the secure form below for online donations.
You can choose to donate once, or set up monthly donations.
- If you have any difficulty using the form, please contact us.

Technology is at the service of all areas and sectors of activity. It offers automation of tasks, reduces burdens, and enhances performance. In a world full of mistrust, technology offers many automatic, practical, and modern security measures to ensure the safety and tranquility of homes and business premises. There are dynamic services engaged in the installation of its security technologies.
You need to know that 60% of burglars avoid homes that have smart security systems installed. This might be a given, but it is also true. It acts like a warning that deters most of them. You should ensure that your security system is also working soundly because the res, i.e., the 40% of burglars out there, assume that your security system isn’t working or appropriately armed.
Burglars tend to avoid homes that have home security systems, but a home without these is 300% more likely to be the target of thieves and burglars. This is why with this type of stuff, it is better to be safe than sorry, and having a sound and smart home security system means that you can sleep on both ears.
The automation of the security
The automation consists of an electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic system that is capable of replacing the human being in certain tasks. Simple or complex authorized systems are integrated into the human environment and are developed in the work environment, such as services, houses, and industries.
Authorized systems are increasingly present in homes, stores, and businesses. Such installations must be carried out by companies recognized in the field. Companies are now specialized in the installation of manual or automatic motorization of shutters, doors, blinds, and garage doors. It intervenes in installing, repairing, and even maintaining manual or automatic openings for impeccable work.
The advantages of the automation of the security
Your security is a priority and must be ensured with automatic and modern means. The role of automation is to speed up processes, help streamline tasks, and secure processes, applications, and infrastructures from the start. It also reduces the average cost of breaches by 95%.
Home security automation involves locking windows and doors and installing alarms and other devices to prevent repeated break-ins. Roller shutters are suitable and practical for windows. The choice will be between motorized electric shutters with wired or radio control and manual shutters. Innovative and more improved models are available in PVC and aluminum in store.
As far as installation is concerned, the service companies will help in the choice of shutters. For existing windows, renovation shutters are the most suitable and practical. While for new constructions, traditional shutters are the most recommended with the possibility of housing the box directly in the masonry.
Motorized garage door
Better for security, the motorized garage door is increasingly noticed in garages. A mechanical system with a motor allows the door to open and close without human intervention. It only requires the activation of the motorization; there is also automation of the garage door. As for it, the automation requires no effort; thanks to the motion sensor or a built-in voice, the door can open once the car is in front, or you can control it with your smartphone.
Garage door automation is a step towards home automation. The motorized garage door offers better security for a considerable saving of time and undeniable comfort. Nevertheless, its installation is complicated, and therefore it is better to use specialists for this option.
Home automation is the set of techniques of electronics, automation, computer science, and telecommunications useful for buildings that serve to centralize the control of home and business systems. It allows properties to strengthen the house’s security by automating the techniques and equipment of home security.
Home automation is an intelligent high technology useful in several areas. It facilitates its owner’s daily life by offering peace of mind, comfort, convenience, and efficiency.
Finally, technology has allowed for the automation of tasks by integrating multiple means to improve security systems for real-time savings, improved comfort, and better security of the home. In addition, there are intelligent buildings that include perfect building automation with great benefits for its occupants.

Having a child who is undergoing scoliosis surgery can be a highly stressful and worrisome time for parents as well as children.
Scoliosis treatment options
When doctors treat scoliosis using a back brace, the goal is to stop the spinal curve from progressing. Patients also find that physical therapy complements treatments involving braces.
Depending on the degree of spinal curvature, however, your child might need surgery.
Will my child have to wear a scoliosis brace?
Wearing a scoliosis brace is usually the method many orthopedic doctors prescribe between diagnosing scoliosis and planning a surgery. Wearing a brace gives a patient the best treatment to avoid surgery. There are three main types of scoliosis braces the Horton’s team uses to treat this condition.
Boston Brace (Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral-Orthosis, or TLSO)
The Boston Brace is a plastic body jacket wraps under the arms, under the ribcage, around the lower back, and around the hips. If your child needs this brace, then they need to wear it between 18 and 23 hours a day.
Charleston Bending Brace
Also called the “nighttime brace,” the Charleston Bending Brace applies pressure at night and keeps the curvature from worsening.
Total Contact TLSO (Wilmington Brace)
The Total Contact TLSO- Wilmington Brace is a custom-fitted plastic spinal brace fabricated using a cast taken of the patient while lying down usually on a special spinal casting table, facing up. During the casting, corrective forces specific to the patient’s spinal curve are molded into the cast.
This brace goes onto the body similar to a tight jacket and is know as a total contact due to its lack of gaps or open spots.
What does scoliosis surgery involve?
Called a spinal fusion, surgery for scoliosis involves joining together two or more curved vertebrae into a single bone. It is also minimally invasive. Technological developments in microscopes have made it far less traumatic for patients today than those who underwent this surgery just 10 years ago.
Surgery requires general anesthesia and includes the use of steel rods, screws, bone grafts, or other medical devices and procedures that will ultimately correct spinal issues and support bones.
Whereas surgeons used to cut a larger incision in the back to operate on the spine, surgeons today only need 1 or 2 inches to access the bone using finer techniques and instruments. This also lowers the risk of infection and means your child can go home sooner, resuming normal activities in no time.
How to prepare for scoliosis surgery
Positive family time helps to refocus on something other than the surgery. Plan a family trip or another fun activity. Siblings should also receive a parent’s support, as they may be worried about their brother or sister too.
If you feel it is necessary, explain to your child what the surgery is and why they need it. Let them ask questions, and work through any concerns or emotions they have about it. Explain anesthesia as a special medicine that makes them go to sleep during the operation, but reassure them that they wake up afterward.
Just as you might show your nervous child their new classroom before the first day of school, show them the hospital where surgery takes place. Special needs children may have more of a challenge with surgery, as it disrupts family routine and replaces it with unfamiliar people and environments.
Teens may also be worried about appearance, absence from school, missed classes, homework, and exams, so speak with their teachers and principal to discuss the timeline and ease any anxiety the child may have about missing school and how to handle the return.
Remember that little things make a big difference. On the day of surgery, bring items like books or toys that will give them a sense of comfort and home. You can have teenagers bring their laptop, headphones, books or homework to reduce the stress of surgery.
After the surgery
After the surgery, your child may like visitors, movies, books, and other distractions, or they may like to talk or draw about their time in the hospital. You can encourage your teen to blog or create videos about it, to share their experience, or just so their friends can see and try to understand. Others may just want to move on from the experience and close the chapter. Any way is suitable.
Following the surgery, there may be a need for a post-surgery brace for your child to wear as treatment and healing continues. Follow the doctor’s orders, and let your child rest.
For more information
Be informed and learn more about scoliosis treatment options, including pre- and post-surgery back braces, to help make your scoliosis treatment decision-making process easier. Having a child who is undergoing scoliosis surgery can be a highly stressful and worrisome time for parents, as well as children. Children and teens are resilient, especially if prepared, and here at Hortons O&P, we are here to provide support and help you reduce any anxiety and stress any way we can. With the right back brace for scoliosis, the spine can be discouraged from curving any further, reducing the risks of other health problems. Hortons can explain more as we aim for scoliosis education in Arkansas, and we can prescribe or custom-fabricate any brace in our orthotics lab.
Contact us at 501-683-8889 to schedule an appointment or schedule a consultation regarding pediatric scoliosis in Arkansas.

Ed Sheeran: I owe my career to Jamal Edwards
Written by admin on 21st September 2022
Ed Sheeran has paid tribute to Jamal Edwards, saying he owed his career to his late friend’s support.
He was speaking at a memorial for Edwards, who founded the online music platform SBTV and was made an MBE for services to music in 2014.
The entrepreneur died in February at the age of 31.
“I really don’t think I would have been given the opportunities that I was given had it not been for Jamal putting his arm around me,” Sheeran said.
“I was slogging on the acoustic singer-songwriter scene for a very long time, just blending in… And Jamal was this sort of tastemaker.”
Edwards gave Sheeran his first break in 2010, getting him to perform the future single You Need Me, I Don’t Need You on his YouTube channel.
That video was how the star’s manager, Stuart Camp, and record label Atlantic first discovered him.
“A lot of people assume that [because] I write songs and I perform, I probably would” have become famous anyway, Sheeran said.
“I actually don’t agree with that… I was one of many.
“I really don’t think I would have been allowed through certain doors if it hadn’t been for Jamal,” he continued, adding: “He was just all about finding people and showing people new opportunities, at a time where the industry was mostly based in London.”
Tuesday’s memorial also served as the inaugural fundraising event for the Jamal Edwards Self-Belief Trust, which aims to help young people at risk of homelessness and to provide entry points to the media industry for people who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
His mother, the Loose Women presenter Brenda Edwards, said “His generosity is what we want to continue. He was always about championing young people. That was his main aim.” Edwards had also devoted his free time to helping the homeless, she added.
“He would go to the homeless shelter and give food out and give talks to young people every single Christmas. I would cook Christmas dinner… and he wouldn’t be back until 9:30 or 10 o’clock at night – and we’d have to wait until he came back.
“So we’re just going to try and do our best to continue exactly what he’s done,” she added. “Nobody can do what Jamal did, but I’m going to give it a good try.”
Edwards founded SBTV “on a £20 phone” while he was still at school – but the channel went on to launch the careers of artists like Dave, Skepta, Ed Sheeran and Emeli Sandé.
It was pivotal in documenting and promoting the rise of London’s grime scene, which Edwards saw as “like the punk movement, in terms of lyrics and rebellious attitude”.
As his fortune grew, he expanded into other entrepreneurial ventures, often with a focus on improving the lives of disadvantaged young people; and shared his experiences in the best-selling book Self Belief: How to Be a Success on Your Own Terms.
He died suddenly in February from a heart attack after taking cocaine and drinking alcohol, a coroner concluded.
Tuesday’s memorial, held in London’s new Here at Outernet venue, also saw performances from Jessie Ware, Lewis Capaldi and Max Cyrus, with Hollywood star Terry Crews hosting the gala.
The event featured a star-studded auction which had a host of “money-can’t-buy experiences” including a meal-for-two with Luther star Idris Elba, and a David Beckham-signed Inter Miami t-shirt.
Organisers said the event raised more than £100,000 on the night.
Crews, who is best known for the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine, said he had first met Edwards on a promotional trip to London in 2014.
“We did the media thing but afterwards, we started to talk. And I just was like, ‘Man, I love what you’re about. I love everything you’re doing. How can I help you?
“So we exchanged numbers, and every time I came to London ever since, I sat down with Jamal and hung out with him. We had all these visions and all these plans… And man, when I found out that he passed, I couldn’t believe it.”
Crews said he wanted to be involved in the fundraiser to “to continue the mission that Jamal started”, calling him a “visionary” who had changed hundreds of people’s lives.
Jessie Ware, who dedicated a cover of What You Won’t Do For Love to Edwards, agreed that he had left a significant impact on Britain’s music scene.
“He was the platform for so many artists that are leading the way in music,” she said, remembering him as a “generous, warm, funny” friend, with whom she shared a dance at Sheeran’s wedding.
“His legacy lives everywhere, which is such a special, important thing,” she added.
“I’m sure he’ll be somewhere watching this [event] and be really annoyed that he’s not in the room, on the dance floor.”

You probably read the title of this article and thought, “WHAT?! Well, keep reading because at the end you’ll be saying to yourself, “Maybe I will try this.”
I will come out and say it, I am a redhead with a very hairy face. It would probably look like a beard if it was dark. Now that I am getting older, I swear my facial hair is getting hairier. Thank you, mom, for giving me the bad facial hair gene.
Many people who have waxed or threaded my face before have told me, “But, you should be lucky it is light hair.” And, yes, this may be true. But, my hair is thick and is definitely noticeable if I do not consciously tweeze or pluck nightly, or go weekly for waxing or threading. And, to make matters worse, waxing always irritates my sensitive skin and recently, my skin has been reacting badly to threading. I’ve even found some dark hairs sprouting from the sides of my lips in past few weeks.
I found out the hard way, and it might come as a shocker to you, but it’s almost impossible for natural redheads to get laser hair removal. To test the waters for this piece, I called a local well-known laser hair removal clinic in New York City to get their opinion. Here’s how the conversation went down:
Receptionist: “Hello, this is blah blah speaking. Thank you for calling blah blah. How may I assist you today?”
Me: “Hello! I am looking to get laser hair removal done on my face, mostly my chin and lip.”
Receptionist: “Wonderful! Can you tell me a little about yourself?”
Me [of course, I say the one attribute I’m most proud of first]: “Well, I’m a redhead with very sensitive thing looking to get rid of the hairy blonde peach fuzz….”
Receptionist: “I am so sorry to cut you off, but unfortunately we cannot do laser on redheads.”
The call continues with her telling me laser hair removal can only work on dark-haired individuals because the laser light simply cannot pick up the hair to extract it. I do know that there are beautiful redheads of the world with darker skin and hair, so it may be possible for you. But, I am a traditional redhead, with freckles, very fair skin and vibrant red hair.
So, what’s next? Was I going to succumb to my daily tweezing and regular, painful waxing and/or threading appointments? Some redheads can deal with facial hair, but not me. I hate it more than anything. It may be blonde but it’s noticeable, especially when wearing foundation. It looks like makeup covered over peach fuzz.
I had read on the web that many women shave their face. Keeping in mind that many redheads are allergic to nickel in razors, I began asking around. I called a friend who shaves her dark facial hair and raved about a certain technique: using a facial razor or eyebrow razor.
So, I tried it (why not?) and fell in love.
How to do it:
It is simple, easy and painless. Plus, it leaves your skin so smooth and doesn’t break the bank. Oh, and it doesn’t require any shaving cream since they are designed to use on dry skin. How perfect is that?
1. Start with a clean, dry face without makeup or lotion.
2. Grab your brow razor and shave the skin ever so lightly. Always shave downwards on your skin in super short strokes*. If hair starts to collect on the razor, simply wash it under warm water and dry the razor before using again.
*Please note: I have never cut myself doing this but it could happen. Be focused and close up to the mirror. Concentrate on doing really short strokes. It’s important to see how your skin reacts first before taking the plunge. I do not recommend shaving your entire face in the very beginning. If this is your first time, start with a tiny, tiny spot on your face to see how your skin reacts. Your skin may not react until a couple hours after shaving, so wait at least a day or so to see.
I shave my face about once a week (twice if I have big things planned) because I can’t go out on the town with a hairy chin. I do want to urge you to only try this if you feel totally comfortable doing it. It is a commitment, but it is totally worth it for me. I’ve met many women who love their facial hair just the way it is, and if that’s you, then rock it. At the end of the day, redheads, it’s all about confidence.
As always, Rock it like a Redhead!

WASHINGTON—Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., issued the following statement Monday in response to the planned resignation of Glenn Fine as Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG):
“Glenn Fine has embodied the best aspirations of the Inspector General Act. Through Republican and Democratic administrations alike, his office has produced fair and high quality audits and investigations that have exposed waste and wrongdoing, and generally challenged the Department to do its most effective and efficient work. I know the Department of Justice, the IG community, Congress, and the public have greatly benefited from his service – not to mention those who served with him in the Office of Inspector General over the last 15 years. I wish Glenn the best in whatever new challenges he undertakes.”
HSGAC has jurisdictional responsibility over the IG community. As a presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed IG, Fine has no fixed term and serves at the pleasure of the President. He wrote to President Obama and Attorney General Holder Monday announcing his intention to step down on January 28, 2011.

Wavy Pixie Haircuts
Wavy pixie haircuts are great for girls with round faces and double chins. They add volume without being overwhelming. Gabrielle Union rocks this style.
Medium Length Textured Shags
Medium-length textured shags with long face-framing bangs can make women appear slimmer. They cover wide cheekbones and create balance in the facial structure.
Asymmetrical lob is a stylish and flattering haircut trend. It frames the cheekbones and creates a slimming illusion for the face. It works well across different skin tones.
How to Achieve the Look
To achieve the asymmetrical lob look, apply a texturizing product on wet hair and allow it to air dry completely. You can curl longer pieces for loose waves or keep them straight for a sleek finish.
Add an Edge with a Face-Framing Fringe
Add a face-framing fringe to your asymmetrical lob for an eye-catching new look. Dua Lipa rocked this style with blunt ends and deep side parts for a chic vibe.
Pink is great for showcasing your personality without fully committing to an all-over hue. This pretty pixie haircut combines a classic bob with baby pink swirls, suitable for girls of all ages.
Pink and Light Brown Ombre
Light brown and pink tones blend harmoniously in an impressive ombre color combination. This is perfect for brunettes who want to experiment with pink without bleaching their entire hair.
Pink’s Funky and Cute Style
Pink recently sported short pink locks in a funky and cute style. The vibrant and outgoing persona perfectly matches this hairstyle Pamela Neal captured.
A modern take on the classic shag haircut feature layers that highlight the face shape. Choppy layers add volume and texture, giving off an edgy vibe. It pairs well with burgundy-hued locks.
Add feathered highlights around the crown area for extra depth without adding weight. This is suitable for fine to medium-textured hair.
Ask your stylist to add soft curls to your layered shag bob cut for an elegant and feminine style. Use heat protectant and texturizing spray before curling ironing 2-inch sections of hair and finish with a medium hold hairspray.
Long Peek-A-Boo Bangs
Consider peek-a-boo style if you still need to get ready for full bangs. This noncommittal look is ideal for plus-size women. It features front pieces lightly brushed forward to frame the face and soften the overall appearance.
Unconventional Chin-Length Bob
An unconventional chin-length bob highlights the neck while downplaying fullness around the chin and cheeks. Stunning caramel balayage highlights add visual length to the frame.
Layered Pixie Bob
A layered pixie bob with a deep side part and long, face-framing bangs is an easy way to balance fullness in the face, creating a sleeker appearance. Choose a dark color like silver blonde for added drama or warm copper hues for subtle warmth.

Frank Chambers begins his essay with the assumption that not in the controversies of modern scholars and art critics can a working theory of ancient aesthetics be discovered but in ancient literature itself. He believes that, from the early descriptions of armor and architecture in the Homeric poems up to the meditations of Plotinus and the later Latin authors, there is a continuous record of the Classical Taste. Briefly, he seeks to answer the question: What had Antiquity to say of its own arts and artists? His policy from first to last is that only by allowing the ancients to speak for themselves can a reliable estimate of their thoughts and feelings be made.

Boeing resumes 787 deliveries firstly to ANA
NEW YORK - Agence France-Presse
Employees of ANA queue in front of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane. AP photoBoeing has resumed deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner aircraft, suspended since January after the airplane was grounded globally because of overheated battery problems.
“Boeing has resumed 787 deliveries with an airplane delivered today in Everett to ANA,” the US aerospace giant company said in a statement on May 14, referring to Japan’s All Nippon Airways and Boeing’s factory in Washington state.
“Despite the disruption in deliveries over the past several months, we still expect to deliver all the 787s we originally planned to by the end of the year,” Randy Tinseth, Boeing vice president of marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in a Boeing blog.
“We once again thank our customers for their patience and confidence as we begin delivering on our commitments.” All 50 of the Boeing 787s in service were grounded in mid-January after a battery fire on a Japan Airlines plane parked at Boston airport and battery smoke on an ANA plane forced an emergency landing in Japan.
On April 25, the US Federal Aviation Administration approved Boeing’s 787 battery fix that cleared the way for the aircraft to fly again. Ethiopian Airlines was the first airline to restore 787 service, two days later.
ANA, the first and biggest 787 customer with 17 of the high-tech planes in its fleet, said last week it would resume flights with the battery-modified 787s on June 1.
On May 13, United Airlines, the only US airline flying the Boeing 787, said it would restart domestic Dreamliner flights beginning May 20 on routes from Houston, Texas, to other domestic hubs.
United also announced the June 10 launch of its Denver-Tokyo service using the aircraft.
Despite the global grounding, Boeing had continued to build 787s at a rate of five airplanes per month.
The company said it was on track for a planned 10-a-month production rate by year-end, using its plants in Everett and in South Carolina.
Shares in Boeing, which earlier in the day announced an order from Turkish Airlines for 70 single-aisle 737s, were up 1.2 percent at $95.90 in late-afternoon New York trade.

India had reasons to cheer both on the inflation and external trade fronts. Data for October released by the government on Tuesday showed that retail inflation dropped to a 14-month low of 4.20 percent, while exports rose 9.5 percent despite a sluggish global economy. Gold imports increased 108.3 percent to $3.50 billion from $1.68 billion in October 2015 and trade deficit to $10.1 billion.
Exports stood at $23.5 billion in October when compared to $21.4 billion in October 2015, aided by an increase in two key categories — gems and jewellery and engineering goods.
Gems and jewellery exports rose 21.8 percent to $4.38 billion from $3.59 billion in October 2015, while engineering goods saw 13.8 percent jump to $5.26 billion in comparison to $4.6 billion in the corresponding period last year. The trend was fairly consistent, with 18 of the 30 categories recording growth on a year-on-year (YoY) basis. Export of petroleum products grew 7.2 percent to $2.7 billion.
Imports grew 8.11 percent to $33.6 billion from $31.1 billion in the year-ago period, widening the trade deficit for October 2016 to $10.1 billion from $9.69 billion, YoY.
Crude oil import bill widened 3.98 percent to $7.1 billion, YoY.
The cumulative trade deficit for the April-October 2016 period was $53.1 billion, down 32 percent from $78.2 billion in the corresponding period last year.
The provisional data for October 2016 were released by the Indian government on Tuesday evening after stock market hours.
The consumer price inflation (retail inflation) dropped to a 14-month low of 4.20 percent for October, according to provisional data released by the government on Tuesday. Food price inflation eased to 3.32 percent as against 3.96 percent (final) in the previous month.
The fall makes a strong case for a rate cut by the RBI's MPC when it meets next month.
"October inflation at 4.2 percent remains much below the RBI's target range and lower than its estimates for 3QFY17 and 4QFY17. This should set up the RBI for a 25 bps repo rate cut in December," Suvodeep Rakshit, an economist at Kotak Institutional Equities, said in a note.
Angel Broking said that the rate cut could happen soon. "There could be further softening in the inflation in the near term, as demand side is likely to get impacted due to demonetisation. This raises the probability of rate cut coming in earlier than expected," Vaibhav Agrawal (VP Research & Head of Research, Angel Broking, said in a note.
The BSE Sensex ended at 26,304, down 514 points, or 1.92 percent, while the NSE Nifty closed 198 points, lower, or 2.39 percent, at 8,098.
Top Sensex losers included Tata Motors (9.88 percent, to Rs 457), Tata Steel (7.88 percent, to Rs 393), Asian Paints (7.41 percent, to Rs 892) and Maruti Suzuki (5.71 percent, to Rs 4,842).

A bearing has a random life due to a complex set of factors that determine the life of a bearing. SKF confirms that bearing life is random even when bearings are operating under same conditions.
“Under controlled laboratory conditions, seemingly identical bearings operating under identical conditions have different endurance lives”.
So what to do now? If the bearing application and design is correct we cannot determine the life of the bearing. We suggest focusing the on Essential Care of the bearing and equipment it’s part of.
Let’s imagine that you have a large centrifugal pump.
You can preserve the life of bearings by:
- Use of correct bearing specification according to OEM
- Store the bearing correctly
- Mount the bearing correctly
- Make sure that shaft and bearing housing have the correct tolerance
- Operate the equipment within its limits and avoid overload, and cavitation
- Align the shafts and couplings within
- Balance impeller to avoid vibration
- Select and use the correct lubricant/oil
- Make sure that the oil is clean and avoid moisture, chemicals, and contaminants
- Make sure that the oil is not breaking down and keeps properties and additives
- Prevent overheating of the pump
If we implement procedures to preserve the conditions of the bearings we have maximized the bearing life and reliability.
Now we need to figure out what procedures are needed when the bearing begins to fail and its condition deteriorates.
Predicting when the bearing is failing is not extending the life of the bearing but give us time plan and schedule downtime when it impacts the operations the least.
Based on the criticality and industry we could use the Condition Monitoring Standards (CMS by IDCON) or we could use FMEA and RCM to determine the condition monitoring procedure.
How often should you measure? Let’s save that for another time since the life of the bearing does not changewhen we do condition monitoring.

The Philippines' House Of Representatives has approved a groundbreaking bill to tackle the dramatic deforestation that has taken place in the country over the last four decades. Now, students graduating from elementary school, high school, or college will have to plant at least 10 trees before graduating.
The "Graduation Legacy for the Environment Act", or House Bill 8728, was authored by MAGDALO Party-list Rep. Gary Alejano and Cavite 2nd District Representative Strike Revilla. As reported by CNN Philippines, the bill was passed after its third and final reading.
“With over 12 million students graduating from elementary and nearly 5 million students graduating from high school and almost 500,000 graduating from college each year, this initiative, if properly implemented, will ensure that at least 175 million new trees would be planted each year,” Rep. Alejano said in a statement. “In the course of one generation, no less than 525 billion [Editor's note: we believe that this is supposed to be 5.25 billion] can be planted under this initiative. Even with a survival rate of only 10 percent, this would mean an additional 525 million trees would be available for the youth to enjoy, when they assume the mantle of leadership in the future.”
The initiative will happen thanks to a collaboration between the Departments of Education, Agriculture, and Environmental and Natural Resources, and the National Commission of Indigenous People.
The agencies will be in charge of preparing nurseries, producing seedlings, and preparing the sites. Trees will be planted wherever possible, from forestland and protected areas to cities, civil and military reservations, and even inactive and abandoned mine sites. Indigenous trees will be planted preferentially, and the new saplings will be suited to the location, climate, and topography of the areas they are planted in.
Private interests and lack of government supervision have led to a huge loss of natural forests. In 1900, 21 million hectares (29 million acres) of the country (70 percent) was covered in forest. By 1999, that number had plummeted to 5 million hectares (12 million acres) and has continued to decrease.
The initiative could prove key to triggering the slow reconstruction of the country's forests.

Nanofluids for Energy Applications
Nanofluids are gaining attention in the exchange, conversion, and storage of energy, owing to their enhanced thermophysical characteristics. Since the thermal conductivity of metals are far higher than that of fluids such as water and oil, adding metal nanoparticles into such fluids can result in a new medium with improved heat transfer properties. Apart from pure metals, nanoparticles made of metal-oxides, silicon carbide, composites, bio-based materials, etc. are also used for this purpose. Nanofluids are produced by engineered-dispersion of nanoparticles in a base fluid, which significantly enhances the thermal conductivity of conventional heat transfer fluids (Ganji et al. 2018; Sheikholeslami 2019). However, the thermophysical characteristics of nanofluids depend on the size, shape, and volumetric fraction of the dispersed nanoparticles. An interesting breakthrough in nanofluids is the advent of hybrid nanofluids wherein two or more nanoparticles are immersed in the base fluid, which has shown further enhancement of the thermal and rheological properties (Kumar and Arasu 2018).
Nanofluids play important role in energy exchange and conversion applications (Jama et al. 2016;Nagarajan et al. 2014; Said et al. 2014; Reddy et al. 2017; Hussain et al. 2019; Muñoz-Sánchez et al. 2018; Bhalla and Tyagi 2017; Islam et al. 2015). Holkar et al. (2018) listed different nanofluids employed for energy harvesting and their advantages. Apart from these, cupric oxide nanofluid was proposed to improve the heat transfer performance of asphalt solar collectors that harvest solar energy from roads (Hashim 2014). The efficiency of direct absorption solar collectors could be improved by the use of nanofluids as the absorption medium (Nagarajan et al. 2014;Otanicar et al. 2010).
A major challenge in the use of nanofluids for energy applications is the contradictory behavior of thermal conductivity and specific heat. While the enhancement of thermal conductivity of base-fluid by the dispersion of nanoparticles is well established, there are no consistent findings on the enhancement of specific heat capacity (SHC) (Lu and Huang 2013), which is a desirable property for energy storage. Several studies reported decline of SHC of aqueous nanofluids, whereas non-aqueous nanofluids showed improvement of SHC (Shin and Banerjee 2010). This issue has been tackled in many studies, and it remains an ongoing challenge. Adding nanoparticles to molten salts that are used as heat transfer fluids in concentrated solar power (CSP) system could enhance the thermophysical properties including SHC and enable the CSP plants operate at higher temperatures (Shin and Banerjee 2010; Lu and Huang 2013). Muñoz-Sánchez et al. (2018) provided a comprehensive review on the use of molten salt-based nanofluids for energy storage and transfer at higher temperatures.
Owing to the growing environmental concerns on the conventional synthesis techniques of nanoparticles, the emerging trend is to adopt green synthesis approaches (Genuino et al. 2013; Ghulam 2016). The nanoparticles produced by green synthesis are termed as green nanoparticles, and the nanofluids prepared from them are known as green nanofluids (Narayanan and Rakesh 2019). Several researchers have reported development and characterization of green and eco-friendly nanofluids such as silver and gold nanofluids (Mollick et al. 2014)(John et al. 2015), grapheme-based nanofluids (Mehrali et al. 2016), and coconut fiber-based nanofluids (Adewumi et al. 2018). These green nanofluids would be promising alternatives for their conventional counterparts for various energy conversion applications.

Koding is a free online IDE with storage space. It lets you develop applications, test and save them on to the cloud storage to make it accessible anywhere and anytime. You can also invite other developers to work with you on the application you’re working on. This online IDE also lets you access a real Ubuntu Terminal and lets you develop application with Python, C, C++ etc. With Koding, you can also share the applications you created and install applications developed by other developers on to your online virtual machine, upload files, update your status just like we do in Facebook and Twitter, access blog posts, get involved in discussions and learn with free tutorials and lot more. By inviting friends, you can get up to 16GB of online space. To add more, it also has an extension for Google Chrome to let you access the Terminal anywhere in the world.
I always wished for a mobile development environment with an online IDE and that’s when I came to know about Koding. Yeah that sounds more like those “As seen on TV” advertisement but this is worth it. Lets see what it has to offer.
This is the favorite part of a developer. I like the look and feel of the inbuilt terminal that is one of the applications pre-installed into your Koding account. You can access this terminal from the Google Chrome extension too. Doing this would let you use the terminal as a Guest but you would not be able to save anything to the server. This however lets you access all the features that you would find in a real Ubuntu Terminal. The terminal with this online IDE, lets you access all the features you would find in a real life Ubuntu Operating System. As you can see from the image above, I used it to create and run a small and simple “Hello World” program that I compiled in C. To do that, I even used my favorite text editor “Nano” and it seems that it highlighted the strings and other keywords for me.
Talk it out
Koding is just not another online IDE that would let you develop some application and keep it for yourself. But, it encourages you to interact with other Koding users. You can post you status to tell the group what you feel like, post a tutorial to become conducive to the community, post a blog and take part in a discussion. Now, I really posted that status and waiting for you to come online and tell us how it was.
You can browse from a list of applications you want to install. You can see the number of other users who liked the application in the list and how many installed it. The applications available in this online ide can be sorted by its type like, updates, web-apps, add-ons etc. The installation of these applications are pretty easy and you don’t even have to worry about where to install them and provide them more information while the installation is in process. Move your mouse pointer over an application to view more information about the application and to install it, just click on it and confirm the installation by clicking on the “Install” button. Isn’t that simple?
This free online ide also lets you view your files and folders in a panel to the left of the screen. You can open a file by double clicking on it just as you would do on a regular file explorer. You can upload files from your local hard drive too.
Google Chrome Extension
The Google Chrome extension lets you access the Terminal anywhere with just the browser (got to be Chrome to make the Chrome extension work). You can access the terminal as a guest or login to your account to access your files via the terminal and start developing (or just stare at the black screen).
Koding is an absolutely wonderful, distinct and cross-platform, cloud based online ide. Whew! I said all that in one breath. Well, so much to say about this online ide as it lets you do everything that you can on your computer. It provides you with an excellent development environment and proves to be an extensive online ide that put an exuberant smile on your face.

What you need to know
- Apple has placed two iPhone suppliers on probation in the last two months.
- A new report says it could result in 'tight' supply of the iPhone.
A new report says the supply of Apple's iPhone 12 and beyond could suffer now that two of its supply partners are on probation.
A report in November confirmed that Apple supplier Pegatron was found to be flouting local labor rules. As a result, the supplier was placed on probation, meaning it won't be getting any new business from Apple until the problems are fixed.
Pegatron was found to be falsifying documentation and misclassifying student workers, allowing some to work nights and/or overtime, as well as performing work unrelated to their major. Pegatron and the individuals responsible reportedly went to "extraordinary lengths" to cover up the violations.
More recently a riot broke out at an iPhone assembly plant in Karnataka, southern India, following allegations that workers had not been paid. Apple has since admitted this is in fact the case, and that Wistron, like Pegatron, has been placed on probation. According to the report, Wistron had hired many thousands of workers over the course of around eight months, but only had three HR employees to handle more than 10,000 employees. Wistron has said it deeply regrets the problems and has apologized to its workers, noting it "made mistakes" as the plant was expanded. It has said it will improve and strengthen processes for management of labor and pay, and that it has set up a 24-hour hotline for employees to file their grievances. The firm also sacked its VP in the region.

Sometimes you just can't believe things you've wanted for a long time when they finally come true. A lottery player from Baden-Württemberg had a similar experience. After winning the lottery of more than two million euros, a father hid his ticket in the closet.
The over 50-year-old man from the Stuttgart area initially couldn't believe that he was now a millionaire, Lotto Baden-Württemberg wrote in a press release on Sunday.
The winner redeemed his game receipt belatedly. Now he receives the sum of 2,074,074 euros. His key to luck were the winning numbers 7, 12, 36, 37, 39 and 42. This win is not taxable.
The man had ticked six correct winning numbers in the “6 out of 49” lottery drawing on August 26th. He only missed the super number. The probability of a hit was about one in 15.5 million. It was said that the father of the family wanted to continue working first and take some time to think about what he would do with his winnings.

The case was postponed because of the epidemic of Covid-19, but the proceedings are not abandoned for all and justice will follow its course, according to the expression consecrated. Georges Mela, mayor of Porto-Vecchio, and his cabinet director Pierre Alessandrini, were to be tried on 17 April in front of the correctional court of Ajaccio (Corse-du-Sud) for "attempted fraud" and " complicity in attempt at swindle ". The record, set by the former attorney-in-title, Eric Bouillard, will finally be examined on 8 December.
The heads of prevention retained emit a smell of sulfur, but the facts are much more down-to-earth. Here's the story : it is alleged that the chief magistrate of this lively seaside resort to have produced in court, under the pen of his cabinet director, a certificate entitling his son to contest a fine of 135 euros ; the latter had been sentenced to this PV after being parked on a parking space reserved for persons with disabilities, rue Napoléon, 150 metres from the town hall. Detail funny : it is an agent of the municipal police who observed the offense and drew up a report. As far as the law allows, Mr. Mela, the owner of the vehicle, raised an objection before the tribunal de police by producing a certificate from the director of the municipal police, drafted in fact by his " dircab ", on the headed paper of the City, and claiming that the location for the disabled had a " no signaling ". To be clear : the agent verbalisateur would have sinned by excess of zeal while the son was parked at a place called in good faith.

Clearly, this system of defence was not to the liking of the prosecutor of Ajaccio, which, by means of which we will probably never have the ins and outs, has smelled a " maneuver ". And this is how " inconvenient parking ", contravention of the 4th class, could turn into a scam, a crime punishable – in theory at least – seven years of imprisonment because the mayor is " custodian of the public authority ". The scam involves "a fraudulent scheme" (the false statement, according to the public prosecutor) and the " surrender a thing ", which here takes the form of an " act concerning the discharge of an obligation ".
"Pipi de chat"
A source close to the investigation, it was beautiful to qualify the case of the " pee pee de chat ", Georges Mela would have no doubt spent this new controversy, a few weeks of the second round of the municipal elections. According to a source close to city hall, it could be a settlement of accounts between him and a part of his municipal police, with whom relations would become "very bad" at the end of its mandate. This contested Pierre Alessandrini, the "dircab" the mayor, a presumed accomplice of his boss, in this case picrocholine : "When you see the classification adopted, we can be afraid, to think, on urban planning, public procurement, organised fraud, and say : "My God, what is happening in Porto-Vecchio ?" (laughter) In reality, it is a case could not be more clear. The mayor, who is not above the law, but not below it either, went to see on the spot when he received the ticket. He was able to see, as the chief of the municipal police, the director of technical services and myself, that the signaling of the location was totally obsolete. Fifteen days later, things had been reconditioned. To defend themselves, the mayor has therefore sent the court a paper of the municipal police, which I've actually written the frame, to contest the offence and that has obviously alerted Mr. attorney. You know, it is not up to the city hall of Paris. Here, each deals with a little bit of everything ", she defends it.

Before adding with a long sigh : "If there is that it as a scam, it is quiet. It is exaggerated, you cannot find, this whole story, to a fine eventually reduced to 90 euros ? But finally, it is necessary to go explain himself before the court, we will go. "And warn, the author of these lines :" Beware, to handle cases like this, you're going to end dogs be crushed ! "(re-laughter).
In the poll of 15 march, the list of Mr. Mela, candidate at his succession, had collected 40,09 % of the vote and was ranked second behind that of his rival regionalist Jean-Christophe Angelini (44,49 % of the votes) and ahead of another candidate, nationalist, Don Mathieu Santini (15,41 %).

Find Excitement in London
Published in the Battle Creek Enquirer 3/4/2012
This summer, London will welcome millions of people for 19 days to the 2012 Olympic games. This winter, it welcomed me for two days! As Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) famously said “…When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
The hardest thing about visiting London is deciding what to do. Home base was The Rubens at the Palace. It’s a lovely gem of a hotel, tucked away on a side street. After a long overnight flight, the oh-so-comfortable king sized bed was a welcome respite. With jet lag, only a hot bath will do. A quick soak in a lovely tub washed away tiredness. The promise of a spicy curry before the theatre was motivation to leave my restful room.
While most Brits consider roast beef with Yorkshire pudding their “national” dish, Indian curry finds its way to most top ten lists of favorite British foods and is among the best outside of India. I picked Mela because it was highly rated, close to the theatre district and offered a two for one entrée and appetizer deal. The chicken tandoori was exceptional. The theatre was a short walk away in London’s West End.
Our destination was the historic Lyceum theatre, where the Lion King has been delighting audiences for 13 years. The classic theatre with its two-story grand portico has been at this location since 1765. The Ling King is a spectacular musical, filled with incredible costumes and sets. With jet lag, I only dozed off once, but was brought back to the plains of Serengeti with a loud crash.
Breakfast at the hotel was a huge buffet of both hot and cold foods. I enjoyed a classic full British breakfast starting with fresh squeezed orange juice and hot Earl Grey tea. My plate was crowded with scrambled eggs, beans, fried tomatoes, mushrooms and sausage or bacon. A rack of toast with butter and marmalade completed my feast. That’s a meal that lasts all the way to teatime. Make sure you get the bed and breakfast package at the Rubens— it’s worth every quid.
The helpful staff at the hotel guided us to the Big Bus, a fixed route, hop on, hop off double decker bus with your choice of a live guide or a recorded one available in eight languages. Our one-day ticket was good for two days this winter and was worth every bit of the $41 (U.S. equivalent) price. We jumped on to visit the Tower of London. It’s a must see stop, with its 900 years of fear and imprisonment. “The Tower” is actually a collection of towers where some very famous people like Lady Jane Grey were imprisoned and put to death. It’s also where they also keep the glittering Crown jewels.
No trip to London would be complete without a trip to Harrods. The seven-floor store is daunting, covering some 4.5 acres, even for the most experienced shopaholic. The Food Halls are heaven for anyone who loves to eat. We went directly to the Georgian Restaurant for a full cream high tea to gather our strength. We ordered two teas for two people when one would have been enough, and at $46 per person, that would have been a good idea! I couldn’t leave one crumb of the light and puffy scones, a classic teatime food served with thick, gooey clotted cream. After tea, we could only waddle slowly through the store.
To exciting and expensive London, pip, pip, cheerio and all that rot!

The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that I am using a thumbpick for this piece. I must admit that I haven't often used one, but I tried the piece with it and quite enjoyed the sound so I decided to keep it in the mix. If you prefer to use your thumb then that's absolutely fine.
Okay, the piece is entitled 'Lullaby' for a reason. I wrote this after I was inspired by a piece written by the Cuban guitarist/composer Leo Brouwer called 'Cancion de Cuna' (translated as 'Cradle Song'). The meter is 3/4 and it is vital that you approach this piece with as much control over the rhythm as possible.
The opening requires use of pizzicato which involves using the palm of the right hand to mute the strings. I feel this really lends itself toward a rocking sensation as if a cradle were being rocked, so try and keep that image at the forefront of your mind as you play it.
I have notated the bass voices with eighth notes when they occur, but it is vital that you let these notes ring into each other otherwise it will not work. Just use the video performance as your guide as everything you need to know is in there.
Also, feel free to use my left and right hand fingerings as a blueprint. If you find that you prefer something slightly different that doesn't affect the flow of the music, then go for it.
See you in Part 2!

Mountain of Mitzvot? Not!
Our tradition tells us that the sole purpose of Torah is for us to refine our character, and the way toward that end is through action, namely, by doing mitzvot (commandments).
Sounds clear enough, however when you consider that there are 613 commandments, it might seem overwhelming---like dealing with a "mountain of mitzvot"...but let's delve further.
By exploring the Hebrew origins of the word, we will gain insight into its deeper meaning. The Hebrew, מצוה (mitzvah), is derived from a two- letter root "tzav" - צו which is also the root word for צות which means team or staff.
Wow--- so the commandments are to be a team effort, a partnership. But it's a partnership not only horizontally, between us and other people (bein adam l'chaveiro), but a team effort vertically, between us and the One (bein adam l'Makom).
As a team, we are to bring to the world a sense of justice, kindness, compassion, and love. No one can do this alone. In fact, it is totally not possible to be responsible for doing all the mitzvot.
Traditionally, there are 613 mitzvot (Rambam - Maimonides, enumerated them), however some can be enacted only by Kohanim (descendants of the Temple's priestly class), while some are only possible while in Israel. Then, there are some that are commanded to you if you are a first born, a male, etc. etc.
Going back to our first point, we are all supposed to be doing this as a team effort.
So, if your area of expertise is in fundraising, and yours is in writing...you are to use those unique talents and skills in accomplishing mitzvot that are part of your purpose here. So, the original intimidating list of 613 is not too threatening when viewed in this light. In addition, we share this responsibility!
Just as one finger is part of a hand, so are you also, part of an entity. It's why we are called Am Yisrael (עם ישראל) the people of Israel, an entire nation. We are all responsible for each other's purposeful living. In the Torah, we are not addressed as individuals, but as a community. The directive for us to be holy is said in the plural (K'doshim ti'hiyu).
Yet, we often neglect to ask each other for help in that respect. When studying Biblical text about offerings that were brought to the portable mishkan, sanctuary, it struck me that the entire community was responsible to make sure that the offering met certain purity standards. That was so illuminating for me, especially when in these times, we tend to 'go things alone', mind our own business, and not get too involved in other's affairs.
The ancient idea that you would care about my holiness is an awesome concept. Not only should I think about what mitzvot I might bring in the world, but it is my responsibility to help you do so as well.
Moreover, we forget that HaShem created this partnership. We can remind ourselves that we are not in this alone, we can ask God for help. It makes sense to go to the Source for guidance! We often use the medium of prayer to ask God for health, peace, healing....but at any time, any place, we can ask God for help in order to fulfill the goal of bringing Torah into the world through mitzvot of kindness and compassion.

Miley Cyrus Sparks Rumors She Is Pregnant After Posting Racy Easter Pictures, ‘Hollywood Life’ Reports
Miley Cyrus is facing the latest round of rumors that she is pregnant, and her racy set of Easter pictures are to blame.
This week, the singer posted a series of racy pictures taken for Vogue to celebrate the holiday, including some that showed off her cleavage. As Hollywood Life noted, the pictures had some of Miley’s close friends wondering if the bustier physique might actually show that she is pregnant.
“Miley posted all these super hot pictures for Easter and one thing you can’t miss is her cleavage. She’s looking way more busty than she ever has and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Her phone is blowing up right now, everyone wants to know if she’s got any pregnancy news to share,” a source told the celebrity news outlet.
The outlet quickly quashed the rumors, citing a source who clarified that Miley Cyrus is not actually pregnant but just wearing a push-up bra. The story seems to demonstrate just how easily pregnancy rumors can take hold, especially for Miley who has been a popular target for tabloid reports for most of her career.
This is actually not the first time that rumors claimed Miley Cyrus is pregnant. There have been a string of reports over the past several years claiming that the singer is awaiting her first child, including one last year from OK! magazine saying she and Liam Hemsworth were expecting twins.
— Miley Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) March 30, 2018
Other rumors have focused on when Miley and Liam might be getting married. The couple got back together after having split up the first time around, and celebrity news outlets seem itchy about when they will be walking down the aisle. There have even been a series of false reports claiming that they had secretly wed — though all turned out to be false.
The basis for the latest pregnancy rumor is not exactly clear. While Hollywood Life frequently targets Miley Cyrus, the sources are almost always anonymous. That has led the rumor-busting site Gossip Cop to call into question the site’s reporting, suggesting that the stories may just be fabricated.
It is not clear when Miley Cyrus plans to get married or if she has any plans for children, but at least one thing is clear — she is not pregnant right now, just wearing a push-up bra.

Posted on January 28, 2016 by Institute of Technical Trades
Computer Numerical Control is advanced technology that enables state-of-the-art machine tools to be automatically controlled through computerized software systems. CNC systems allow machine tools to be operated by a computer-based CNC operator. The automation is based on computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. Today, industries around the world are employing CNC systems and technology in every aspect of production and manufacturing. In Ontario, the Institute of Technical Trades provides CNC classes in Pickering, with a wide range of industry standard training programs.
Manufacturers in all industry sectors modernize their equipment and processes on an ongoing basis. As a result, traditional machinists are becoming redundant, and are being replaced by CNC operators. It’s simple - CNC machinists are far better trained with more relevant skills for today’s technologies. At ITT, graduating students enter the workplace with CNC skill sets that are up-to-minute. ITT is officially registered under the Private Career Colleges Act, and trains students for well-paying jobs in a myriad of industry sectors - industries that range from construction, transportation, and manufacturing.
In terms of future trends, some industry sectors are forecasting that 40% of their future job positions will be technology based. This means that more and more employers will be seeking skilled workers with high levels of training and with appropriate certifications. Certainly, many industry sectors are already experiencing shortages of skilled workers. This is mainly because a large portion of the labor market continues to be engaged in “white collar” work. The result is a growing lack of skilled workers. CNC classes in Pickering address the skilled labor shortage by training students to meet the demand.
Job opportunities that require Computer Numerical Control specialists are ever growing. The reasons are simple - baby boomers are retiring in growing numbers; industries are modernizing year after year; and skilled workers are just not meeting the demand. ITT trains CNC specialists to meet the demand, preparing graduates for career opportunities that are increasing in number. On graduation, ITT students are very well equipped – they possess in-depth skill sets in their specific specialty; they have the technical savvy that employers are looking for; and they are ready to work on day one.
Today, modern production and manufacturing facilities require skilled workers who are experienced with software like SolidWORKS, MasterCAM, and AutoCAD. In Ontario, CNC classes in Pickering offer high-level training in each of these software systems, with instruction that is comprehensive.
SolidWORKS is the software used in the field of computer-aided modeling and computer-aided design. It’s universal in most industries, and is categorized as a “solid modeler” primarily used for designing models as well as custom assemblies.
MasterCAM is software that’s favored by machinists and engineers worldwide. This CAD-CAM software is used when designing “virtual parts”. Because of the nature of the application, MasterCAM software is used in a traditional desktop format.
AutoCAD is system software used primarily by architects and engineers, as well as graphic designers. AutoCAD software is used in either 2D or 3D applications, and provides ease of accessibility in all of the platforms: cloud, desktop, mobile.
CNC technology is growing exponentially. As such, demand for CNC operators is also growing. CNC classes in Pickering are offered as Diploma Programs, incorporating computer programming, practical machine setup, and machine operation. Students learn how to operate lathes, mills, equipment and machines using precision instruments that are state-of-the-art. At ITT, teaching and training covers every aspect of Computer Numerical Control, and students become expert with the latest machine tools, technologies, and software. On graduation, ITT students are up to the challenge of a new career.
ITT is one of the finest teaching and training centers in Canada. Students are exposed to the highest industry standards, and the training environment simulates the realities of industry tolerances and expectations. Learning and instruction is hands-on, and ITT teachers are highly qualified in their area of expertise. Class sizes are kept small so that the programming can be customized to suit particular needs of students. At graduation, CNC students are ready and able to meet the challenges of industry, and the high demands of new technology – they have the skill sets to excel in their new careers.
The training regimen at ITT is serious, challenging and demanding. Students are encouraged to push the limit, developing individual skill sets and expediting projects that are more difficult and demanding than the norm. At graduation, CNC students are fully trained and prepared – they have the confidence to address the needs of their prospective employers. Understanding that some 40% of future jobs will be technology based, CNC graduates are commonly in high demand. And for those who are interested in the world of production and manufacturing, the Institute of Technical Trades is the place to start.
Financial Assistance is made available through ITT
Financial limitations should not preclude a student from gaining an education in any field. With this in mind, ITT students can explore a variety of options for financial assistance. In general, assistance is relative to the student’s need and based specifically on the difference between the cost of a program and a student’s total “financial contribution”. ITT has a Financial Aid Officer that can be available to assist students with sourcing funds, and with preparing paperwork.
Today’s labor market is positive for those graduating from ITT. The demand for CNC specialists is high, and ITT graduates are well equipped to meet that demand. The school has been operating for over 40 years, and has successfully graduated thousands of CNC operators. They are ideal candidates for the myriad of well-paying career opportunities out there. As a Certified Testing Centre, ITT can also offer testing and certification in a wide range of systems and processes.
For a new career path, or for continuing education, ITT may be the right place to start. The training standard is high, and instruction is designed to meet the expectations of prospective employers. And with such high demand for Computer Numerical Control
operators, CNC graduates are well positioned. The jobs are well paying, with unlimited potential for career growth.

The rate of a new mattress relies on a number of elements. Several of these consist of the sort of product utilized, the production process, and the guarantee information. A fantastic way to conserve money on a brand-new mattress is to go shopping directly from a producer, such as GhostBed or Nectar. These on-line stores removed the intermediaries as well as overhead expenses of traditional mattress merchants. The GhostBed and Nectar mattresses are sold straight to the consumer, and also their costs are extra affordable than those of traditional stores.
Ghostbed Vs Happsy Organic
Those that are looking for a premium mattress that is free of dangerous chemicals are going to want to think about the GhostBed Mattress Vs Happsy Organic. Although both brand names have their pros and cons, they aren’t entirely identical, and there are lots of distinctions in between them. Listed below are the differences between them and a few of the attributes that they share. Maintain reading to learn more on these two mattresses.
The GhostBed Original is a fantastic mattress for side sleepers, yet it is a little bit as well solid for larger individuals. The medium-firm feel of the GhostBed is a terrific choice for back and stomach sleepers, but it’s not an excellent choice for side sleepers. This mattress is best for individuals who are 230 extra pounds and also under. Those who choose a stronger mattress should select the Happsy Organic.
While both mattresses are made from all-natural products, the GhostBed does not consist of any kind of latex. Instead, it uses a synthetic mix known as “gel memory foam.” This material is not quite as supportive as actual latex, yet it is simpler to produce and also deliver. While it’s comfortable, synthetic latex feels like a cut in the budget. So, you should understand this when choosing between the two.
Purple Vs. Ghostbed Mattress
If you are searching for a mattress with excellent side assistance, you could wish to compare the Purple Vs. Ghostbed Mattress. The GhostBed is a stronger mattress and its building promotes side support. Although both mattresses have the very same side assistance attributes, the Purple is better matched for middle sleepers, while the GhostBed is much better for individuals who are near the edges. The GhostBed’s receptive surface could wake up light sleepers.
Thinking about the price as well as shipping, the GhostBed is the clear winner. It ships complimentary to the lower 48 states, as well as sets you back $600 to deliver to Alaska and Hawaii. As a result of its production facilities in Canada, the GhostBed can be shipped totally free to the Canadian landmass. Both mattresses are shipped compressed and might take a few days to lose the smell. In addition to price, the GhostBed is much more comfy for much heavier sleepers.
The GhostBed Luxe is a little costlier than the standard GhostBed, but it is better for side sleepers, as it’s made of viscoelastic foam and memory foam. While the GhostBed criterion may disagree for side sleepers, the GhostBed Luxe uses premium cooling powers and also is much softer than the Purple Mattress. The GhostBed Luxe is likewise a more universal mattress than the initial GhostBed.
Does Ghostbed Have Fiberglass?
The Ghostbed mattress includes fiberglass. This product is a fire retardant and also promotes secure sleeping. This foam fulfills government regulations to maintain the mattress safe from fires. Not all foam mattresses are developed equal. Inexpensive PU foam beds may contain glass fibers or more affordable fire resistants. To ensure the safety and security of your body and mattress, always inspect the tag. Do not be tempted to purchase an economical bed if it declares to be fire retardant.
It is feasible that some mattresses contain fiberglass in order to shield them from fire. To avoid fiberglass from leaving from the mattress, it should be enclosed. If the cover can be eliminated, it’s most likely that fiberglass is revealed. If you’re uncertain, you can look online for the brand’s FAQs and call them straight. If you’re not sure of what fiberglass is, call a regional maker to ensure you’re obtaining a high quality item.
Where Can I Buy A Ghostbed?
While acquiring a Ghostbed mattress is an excellent means to rest much better, you might be wondering where to get one. You can do so on-line or with any kind of store, however you ought to keep in mind that purchasing your mattress online is different from getting one in-store. Unlike in-store acquisitions, you get the Ghostbed in a box concerning the dimension of a golf club. Once you unbox it, the mattress gradually expands till it reaches its full dimension. Ghostbed offers a 100-night test period, which provides you time to see if it suits your resting demands. If you’re still not exactly sure, the business provides a 20-year warranty to cover problems.
The GhostBed is designed for back and also belly sleepers. It is not ultra firm, so those with a much heavier body will really feel one of the most comfortable. Its foam is responsive, that makes it a great selection for ordinary to petite individuals. Larger people must think about a coil-style mattress. Those that evaluate over 230 pounds might wish to take into consideration buying a Ghostbed with an innerspring base.

That's the way to Braigo!
A thirteen year old California schoolboy has invented a low cost braille printer using components sourced from his toybox. Shubham Banerjee learned that current braille printers were not only cumbersome – weighing in at a hefty 9kg – but also cost some £1,300. Armed with this knowledge he adopted the classic inventor’s mindset – “There’s got to be a better way to do that!”
As part of a school science project he set about designing a low cost solution and utilised his 'Lego Mindstorms EV3' kit to make the prototype. After lots of late night tinkering at the kitchen table Braigo (Braille + Lego) was born.
This invention prototype (now patented) was so impressive that it’s even caught the attention of the massive computer giant Intel, who have invested in his fledgling company (run by his mother – Shubham is too young!). The product is to be refined over the summer and expected to be available to consumers by the end of the year with an expected retail cost of a mere £200.
Edward Ross, director of inventor platforms at Intel remarked: “He’s solving a real problem, and he wants to go off and disrupt an existing industry. And that’s really what it’s all about.”
Shubham’s example shows that it still really is possible to invent from home. The secret is to spot the problem to solve in the first place.

I’ve created my own “America 2.0 ETF” for you — in a way.
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a basket of stocks. In this case, I have five tickers that are your key to locking in life-changing profits in our new world.
Since March 2, you’ve had the opportunity to get in on five buys that make up this super play.
If you bought, AWESOME!
In just four months, these plays are wiping the floor with the S&P 500 Index!
Our America 2.0 ETF is beating it with a 15% return compared to the S&P’s measly 4% in the same amount of time.
This means that the market’s taking notice of all of the innovations — like digital steel and more — that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is making right now.
And it means you still have time to get in before the gains skyrocket higher:
Five ETFs at the Heart of America 2.0
When I look at our economy, our markets and the companies that are remaking America into America 2.0 from America 1.0, there is a group of companies that represent the heart and soul of this idea, movement and revolution.
STIXX, if you remember, is five ETFs. For people who don’t know what an ETF is, it’s essentially a stock that is made up of many other stocks. It’s usually at least 30, in some cases 50, or maybe even 100.
The idea is to capture a theme, an industry or a sector and to own a wide number of them, so you really get the benefit of the entire group, industry, sector or theme. That’s a perfectly good way to get into things. The thing is, in any ETF there’s also going to be laggard stocks. There’s going to old stocks, America 1.0 stocks.
It’s an imperfect way. Nonetheless, as a way of introducing you to me, Bold Profits and America 2.0, you can still get an incredible benefit by owning ETFs that give you wide exposure to the America 2.0 idea. I came up with STIXX and first put it out there on March 2, 2020.
It was really before the crash happened and all that volatility happened that was associated with the crisis. The five ETFs are the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (Nasdaq: SMH), which to me I call digital steel. If you go back to the Industrial Revolution, steel was in everything.
Digital Steel Leading New-World Industrial Revolution
Every aspect of the Industrial Revolution required steel. That’s true as well today when you look at the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), self-driving cars, blockchain, precision medicine, new energy and space. All these things use up an extraordinary number of computer chips.
They are the heart, soul, body, skin — whatever you want to call it. Digital steel is what I like to call it. SMH really gives you wide access to these companies. It does have companies like Intel, which I am negative on. However, you can see, even since March 2, SMH has gone up 21%. You compare that to the S&P 500 and it’s up only 4%.
Renewable Energy Transforming Power
The second ETF I put into STIXX is the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEArca: TAN). It’s another massive transition going on. We are moving from various forms of carbon-based energy that are not renewable, to things like solar power and wind power. Then there is associated technologies revolutionizing this form of power.
Batteries, we are incredibly positive on. To get wide exposure to this, I would tell you TAN is a good way to do it. Once again, as with SMH, there are companies in there that represent America 1.0 that are poorer than the types of companies we select for our services at Bold Profits.
Nonetheless, it’s great exposure. You can see, since March 2 this ETF is up 24% versus 4% for the S&P 500.
Demographic Growth Powering Housing Demand
The third ETF that’s in STIXX is iShares U.S. Home Construction (BATS: ITB), which is a housing ETF. That’s because we are in a moment of huge demographic growth with respect to housing. We have the millennial generation that is coming of age, rising to their highest levels of income.
We have gen Z following very closely after them. We have not been making enough houses in excess of eight to 10 years as a result of the housing crisis and financial crisis in 2008. So, we have very little supply, very little inventory, but we have massive amounts of demand.
Housing is an area and part of our economy that I believe is going to boom and continue to boom for some period. ITB will give you wide access to several companies, including homebuilders, retailers. It does not include some of the newer, America 2.0 companies that benefit from this.
Nonetheless, you would get wide exposure to a lot of different companies. This is one good way to benefit from it. ITB is up 12% since March 2, compared to 4%. So, it’s still beating the S&P 500.
Biotech Driving Precision Medicine Revolution
The fourth ETF that is in STIXX is SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSEArca: XBI). This is a biotech index. It’s an equal-weighted index, which is slightly different than some of the others that are based on the company’s size. The difference is that if a company’s size is used to weight the stocks in an ETF, that means you are going to own more of the bigger companies.
Equal weighted means even the smaller companies have an equal amount. This means if a small company goes up a lot, this ETF can jump. XBI is a biotech index that drives at the precision medicine revolution going on based around genetics and data.
This is going to completely upend and radically change the way we practice healthcare in this country and around the world. This ETF gives you wide access to a few aspects of it: biotech companies that have drugs and a number of diagnostic companies which are upending the current system as it is. You can see XBI is up 23% since we put it in the portfolio.
Industrial Economy Adopting Futuristic Techniques
The last one is thus far underperforming. That is the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEArca: XLI). The industrials ETF is going to benefit from several things. Number one, as we go back to restock the world from all the things we have been consuming while we have all been in lockdown, we are going to have make all these things.
We are going to make them increasingly in this country. That is going to facilitate the adoption of so many new technologies we talk about like 3D printing. The industrial economy is the one that is going to get the biggest benefit from it. Therefore, the last element of STIXX is XLI.
It has a lot of companies that may seem very America 1.0. However, the industrial economy is one where the companies of the previous generation are simply adopting new techniques, whether it be 3D printing, blockchain, AI and implementing it. There are not necessarily a whole new set of new companies that are going to be created.
However, these old companies are going to benefit from these new technologies. So, to benefit from all of that, if you buy XLI as we start to make things again, I believe this sector is going to boom. Then there’s the additional aspect of bringing manufacturing back from China and Mexico and making things in the United States.
As I mentioned, inventory restocking. We have to make things. As people buy houses and we spend money for all the other things I mentioned, whether it be to put up new biotech plants, make additional batteries or anything else. That all has to be created by the industrial economy.
Consider STIXX and put together a portfolio that gets you into the heart of America 2.0.

THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTITUTION
(This essay was written by silver analyst Theodore Butler, an independent consultant. Investment Rarities does not necessarily endorse these views, which may or may not prove to be correct.)
We are all familiar with the concept of substitution. This principle holds that, given no dramatic fall-off in quality, it is rational to replace one item with another based upon a cost advantage. In other words, we all try to get the best bang for our buck. We substitute as retail consumers, constantly seeking out the best product or service. Whether shopping for big or small ticket items, we seek the best over-all value.
Businesses adhere to the concept of substitution to gain bottom-line results. The commercial buyer will choose the superior value, quality or service if similar results can be achieved. In commodities, the concept of substitution reigns supreme. It’s an integral aspect of our free market economy. If it’s cheaper to feed one type of grain to cattle, or if pork is cheap relative to chicken, or if natural gas is a bargain relative to crude oil, those that can substitute for the cheaper item will do so. This is particularly true with the industrial metals. If one metal climbs too high in price, compared to other materials or processes that can achieve the same results, you can be sure of substitution. There’s no escaping the principle of substitution. It can have a huge bearing on the future price of silver.
As for substituting other metals for silver when the price gets too high, some of that will happen. However, silver is generally used in such small quantities per application, it’s often claimed to be price insensitive. It makes up such a small amount of the price of the final product it can rise a long way before substitutes are sought. Most importantly, the statistics for silver show that new uses and growing worldwide demand are outdistancing any reduction from substitution. Silver has the best story of virtually every metal when it comes to the principle of substitution.
Based upon this iron clad rule of substitution, I ask you to consider yet another bullish factor that has the potential to profoundly impact the price of silver. I believe that there is one substitution that could launch the price of silver to the heavens. I am speaking about substituting silver for gold as an investment.
You’ve heard silver referred to as “the poor man’s gold.” I have always disliked that phrase and never use it. It implies gold is better than silver. My decades’ long study of silver tells me that is not true. Further, some of the personalities who have invested in silver, like Warren Buffett, could hardly be considered poor. On July 15 there was a front-page story in the New York Times about the truly wealthy in the US over the past 150 years. While Buffett and Bill Gates were the only contemporaries to make the list of the 30 richest, along with Rockerfeller, Vanderbilt, Astor, Carnegie and the Mellons, two of the 30, whose names I was unfamiliar with (Fair and Flood), owed their wealth to silver. Poor man’s gold, indeed.
However, there is always some truth in age-old phrases. It is precisely that truth that accounts for what I feel is a new and potentially powerful bullish factor in silver – substitution. At some point and at some price, some investors are going to substitute silver in place of gold for investment purposes. Most of those investors will be new to precious metals investing. Their prime motivation will be that they are excited by price action.
Recently, the venerable market analyst and editor, Richard Russell, wrote about something that I have also been “feeling in my bones.” He wrote that it was his sense that, due to various trends in place, the world was headed for a blowoff in asset prices that would be one for the record books and take our breath away.
There has been recent commentary by some that there is a bubble in metal prices. Two of the principal characteristics of any price bubble are widespread public participation and excessive leverage, or borrowing to buy the asset. Neither of those two ingredients appears to be present in any metal today, but I believe they will come into play at some future point.
If and when this blowoff in asset prices takes place, there is little doubt that gold would participate. After all, gold is the most widely held investment commodity of all. There are millions of investors holding billions of ounces. Collectively, the dollar value of all the gold held runs into the trillions. Gold is big and visible. It is also expensive. There are not many commodities priced in hundreds of dollars per ounce. If the price of gold participates, it will get much more expensive. Here is where the principle of substitution should kick in, to silver’s great advantage.
For thousands of years the world’s population has come to think of gold and silver in similar terms. They are an easy to understand matched pair. It’s not gold and platinum, or gold and palladium, it’s gold and silver. This didn’t happen through any deliberate research or from anything that any analyst may have written. The pairing of gold and silver is ingrained in the minds of the majority of people.
If and when the gold price surges upward, there would be a spillover effect on silver. Since gold is already considered expensive compared to silver, any escalation in the price of gold will accentuate that perception. Let’s say gold rises to $900 an ounce. Even if silver rises to $30, it will still be viewed as cheap compared to gold. This is a key point. New metals buyers, influenced by price alone, would reason that they could buy 30 times as much silver for the same dollar amount of gold. Such buyers will be interested in how much bang for the buck they could get with silver.
Any rise in the price of gold causing people to buy silver as the only legitimate substitute, would have a disproportionate impact on the price of silver. Because there is so much more investable gold in the world than silver, both in ounces and dollar terms, an equivalent amount of money flowing into each would impact the price of silver far more. This disproportionate impact on the price action in silver would likely stimulate additional buying.
This concept of substitution differs from the various other reasons I have championed silver over gold. Those reasons include the depletion of silver inventories compared to growing inventories of gold. Also there’s the growing importance of silver as a vital industrial commodity, versus gold’s non-utilitarian nature. I also see an inevitable attempt by industrial consumers to stockpile inventories in a silver shortage, exacerbating tight physical conditions. In addition, there’s the powerful fact that silver is much more manipulated than gold, due to the unique and historic concentrated short position on the COMEX.
The ultimate investment quest is to position yourself in the assets that you feel will perform the best percentage wise. It’s really as simple as that. Because of this fact, I’ve never owned an ounce of gold. I do speculate on gold’s short term price directions and do have interests in companies that explore for gold, in conjunction with silver and other minerals. And I study the gold market more closely than most. If there were no such thing as silver, I would own gold.
The conclusion of the powerful principle of substitution should be clear. In the event of a gold price boom, the investor of tomorrow will likely also rush to buy silver, creating a disproportionate impact on price. The silver buyer of today holds a huge advantage in anticipating the price actions, but only by buying silver today and not waiting until the principle of substitution kicks in.
Newsletter editor Richard Russell recently wrote, “I believe we are going into an international third phase of the bull market. The third phase is the highly speculative phase. In the third phase of a bull market, stocks may rise faster and farther than what they did during the first and second phases combined…..
“This third phase will not be confined to stocks alone. It will include commodities, gold, silver, diamonds, art, collectibles, selected real estate with an emphasis on commercial real estate, hotels and homes on all coasts everywhere — and, of course, stocks.
“The third phase will be fed by masses of fiat currency, abnormally low interest rates, modern communications and advanced technology — plus a mass psychology of greed and “feel good” aided by a speculation-gambling sentiment on the part of not only the big money interests but also the masses. It will be a once-in-a-generation event — on a scale never seen before in history.
“In every great bull market there is usually one area that serves to surprise everyone. Will there be such an area or an item which will surprise as this third phase moves into “high gear”? One item (this is simply a guess) comes to my mind. That item is silver, which now sells at an absurdly low price of under thirteen dollars an ounce.”
A SHORT ANSWER
Dear Mr. Cook:
“I have been reading Mr. Butler’s commentaries as published in Investment Rarities Market Updates.
“I do not understand how and why the alleged manipulators drive down the price of silver by going short. These people are not stupid. Do they not believe Mr. Butler’s statements about how the silver reserves have been exhausted and that the usage of silver exceeds its production. If they do, why don’t they buy silver, keep it, and watch the price soar?
“Mr. Butler writes convincingly, but I just don’t understand the alleged manipulation by the short sellers.
“Please help me to understand this situation. I imagine there must be other readers in the same fix. I know of at least two others. If what I have described could be clarified, I think you would have buyers.”
Mr. Butler’s response –
“I would call the manipulators many things, but stupid is the last thing I would call them. For many years, they have been able to control the market because they knew that the key group of opposing traders, the technical funds, could be tricked into and out of the market. The manipulators (commercial traders) collusively engineered prices up and down through key price points (moving averages). The manipulators made a fortune doing so. However, they stayed short too long and in amounts too large to cover easily. All this can be confirmed by studying the COTs.
“These commercial traders/manipulators would love to buy silver and let the price soar, if they could. But they can’t, for the simple reason that there is no one who could sell to them in any significant quantity. Who could possibly be expected to sell to the manipulators, at near current prices, the hundreds of millions of ounces they normally deal in? It’s like the old Wall Street joke, “sell to who?” In this case, it is “buy from who?”
“In fact, it is this lack of legitimate sellers in size that has created the current stalemate and catch-22 for the commercials. They have a documented and huge concentrated short position that they can’t dump on anyone else. They can’t just go in and buy it back since that would drive the price sharply higher. So all they can do is stall for time, which is what they are doing. But, sooner or later, this stalling will come to an end because the fundamentals for silver keep getting better. You want to be fully invested before that happens. That means you have to be prepared to wait them out and look at silver on a long term basis. We’re talking about the possibility of such phenomenal gains that holding patiently should not be a concern. The explosion to the upside can come at any time so waiting to buy silver is definitely not advised.”

By following the 10 process safety fundamentals outlined in IOGP Report 638 – Process Safety Fundamentals, frontline workers can eliminate fatal or high severity safety events.
Based on an approach similar to that of IOGP’s successful Life-Saving Rules (which they complement), the Association’s new Process Safety Fundamentals (PSFs) are data-driven, and draw attention to those situations that are most likely to lead to process safety fatalities.
IOGP Report 638 defines process safety as “a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes that handle hazardous substances.”
As shown here, each PSF is expressed by a compelling image, accompanied by a short statement designed to trigger positive awareness and action.
IOGP’s Safety Committee, which produced the report, based the PSFs on a decade of data ending in 2017. This dataset showed that 128 people lost their lives in 56 process safety events during that period. “It’s worth noting that the PSFs are not intended to exhaustively address all process safety risks and hazards in our industry. Instead, they should be used to supplement a company’s own underlying systems for process safety management,” says the Association’s Safety Director, Olav Skår. “While the content of the PSFs should be familiar to process safety workers, presenting them in the way that they are seen in the Report, together with ancillary materials, provides a clearer picture of what process safety means on the front line,” Olav says.
“We accept that it may not always be possible to follow a particular PSF. Even then, the PSFs empower people on the frontline to raise issues and dilemmas as they arise. This empowerment helps to ensure effective process safety management, including potential engineering modifications as needed. While the use of PSFs isn’t mandatory among IOGP Members or anyone else, we do encourage their application whenever process safety work is undertaken,” Olav adds.
IOGP’s new PSFs have already received endorsement from operating and contractor companies as well as regulators around the world.
For example, Dennis O’Keefe, Head of Division, Safety and Integrity of Australia’s National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA), has said his organization “expects the oil and gas industry to take all practicable steps to eliminate fatalities and major accident events across all their activities. We believe that adoption of the IOGP Process Safety Fundamentals will contribute to further reductions in process safety incidents and the achievement of that goal.”
Visit www.iogp.org/psf to download Report 638 in full. A range of promotional material to inform employees and contractors about the benefits of PSFs and encourage their use is also available. This material includes a slide deck, a poster, and guidance cards.

How to motivate yourself to change your behavior
Tali Sharot | 16:51
So we all have some behavior that we would like to change about ourselves, and we certainly all wanna help someone else change their behavior in a positive way. So maybe it's your kid, your spouse, your. So I wanna share some new research with you that I think reveals something really important about what gets people to change their behavior.
But before I do that, let's zoom in on one strategy that I think you probably use a lot. So let's say you're trying to stop yourself from snacking. What do you tell. Well, most people's inner monologue will say, beware, you'll be fat. And if this was your kid, you would probably tell him that smoking kills.
And by the way, he's in big, big trouble . So what we're trying to do here is we're trying to scare ourselves and others into changing their behavior. And it's not just us. Warnings and threats are really common in health. In policy. It's because we all share this deep rooted belief that if you threaten people, if fear is induced, it will get them to act.
And it seems like a really reasonable assumption except for the fact that the science shows that warnings have very limited impact on. . So graphic images on cigarette packets, for example, do not deter smokers from smoking. And one study found that after looking at those images, quitting actually became a lower priority for smokers.
So I'm not saying that warnings and threats never work, but what I'm saying is that on average they seem to have a very limited impact. And so the question is why? Why are we resistant to warnings? Well, if you think about animals, When you induce fear in an animal, the most common response you will see is freezing or fleeing, fighting, not as much.
And so humans are the same. So something scares us. We tend to shut down and we try to eliminate the negative feelings. So we might use rationalization. So for example, you might tell yourself, my grandpa smoked, he lived to be 90, so I have really good genes and absolutely nothing to worry. And this process can actually make you feel more resilient than you did before, which is why warnings sometimes have this boomerang effect.

On Tuesday 12 May 2015, Austrian President Heinz Fischer is due to meet Turkmenistan’s President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov in Vienna. In view of this, Turkmen Initiative for Human Rights and International Partnership for Human Rights sent a letter to President Fischer, urging him to raise human rights concerns with his Turkmen counterpart.
Federal President Dr. Heinz Fischer
Via email: firstname.lastname@example.org
9 May 2015
Dear President Dr. Fischer,
We are writing to you on behalf of Turkmen Initiative for Human Rights (TIHR, based in exile in Vienna) and International Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR, Brussels) on the occasion of your meeting with President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov of Turkmenistan in Vienna on 12 May 2015.
We would like to urge you to use this meeting to raise concerns about the human rights situation in Turkmenistan and seek concrete commitments from President Berdymukhammedov to address such issues.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that Turkmenistan remains of one the most repressive and closed countries in the world. It has been year after year featuring among the “worst of the worst” in the Freedom House ranking of Freedom in the World, on par with countries such as North Korea and Saudi Arabia. Fundamental rights and freedoms are seriously restricted.
There is no real political opposition in the country, there are no independent media and the civil society environment is highly repressive. International human rights monitors, including UN human rights experts have been denied access.
Corruption is endemic and citizens continue to be subjected to arbitrary and unlawful measures taken by authorities, with little access to justice or remedy. Dozens of individuals convicted in flawed and politically motivated trials are known to have disappeared in prison, including individuals convicted for the alleged assassination attempt on the previous president in 2002.
Women, children, minorities, migrants and other vulnerable groups remain at particular risk of human rights violations. TIHR’s monitoring shows that the authorities have failed to bring about substantial improvements in education and other key areas of the rights of the child since President Berdymukhammedov took power in 2007. There are also serious concerns about continued practices of discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities.
In view of the human rights priorities of Austrian foreign policy, as well as the commitment by the EU and its member states to integrate human rights into all political dialogue with third countries (as set out in the EU Strategic Framework and Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy), we urge you to address these issues with President Berdymukhammedov. Given the current discussions on the plans for natural gas supply from Turkmenistan to Europe, we believe that it is imperative to stress the importance that Austria and other EU member states attach to human rights and rule of law in all its relations with Turkmenistan, including in the area of energy cooperation. We urge you to make clear to President Berdymukhammedov that a deepening of relations requires real human rights progress by the Turkmen authorities.
In the attachment of this letter, we are sending you an overview of major current human rights concerns in Turkmenistan prepared by our organizations. It is based on monitoring conducted by TIHR, which works together with a network of activists inside the country, and provides more detailed information on the issues outlined above. If requested, we would be happy to provide additional information.
We thank you for your attention and wish you a constructive meeting with President Berdymukhammedov.
Farid Tuhbatullin, TIHR Director
Brigitte Dufour, IPHR Director

Providing ethical leadership through comprehensive and developmental programs for the Public Safety Community
FIRE & RESCUE
DPSST IPSLEI Graduation
IPSLEI is a lot of work but the work is meaningful and pushes you to reflect on yourself as a person and a leader. I learned so much from my peers in the class and realized I’m not alone in this leadership journey. The instructors were great and the class coordinator was amazing. I would highly recommend this class to ANYONE who is in a leadership role. I believe supervisors and upper management should be required to take this training.

IPSLEI Supports International Water Well Effort
IPSLEI was honored to assist the Alumni of the May 2017 Art and Practice of Adaptive Leadership Development (APLD) - (Harvard Kennedy School of Government) in providing a fully functional water well to the Village of Buiza in the city of Kamuli, Uganda.
Prior to this effort by the worldwide May APLD 2017 Alumni, the villagers had to walk seven miles one way in order to obtain drinkable water. The effort to provide life sustaining water to this village is but one outreach of the May APLD 2017 Alumni in their continual efforts to exercise global leadership and serve the needs of others .
IPSLEI's role in assisting with collecting donations and coordinating payment was but a small token for such a large and meaningful outcome. We salute the efforts of the May APLD 2017 Alumni as their values align with that of IPSLEI's mission to support those who serve the public safety.

Best Mexico VPN
Make any network safe to use and restore your digital rights with IPVanish, the best Mexico VPN.
What is IPVanish?
IPVanish is a virtual private network provider, known as VPN for short. VPN technology is used to secure your connection to the internet with encryption. When you use a VPN to encrypt your connection, it obscures all the traffic on your internet-connected device from onlookers, and masks your true IP address. This allows you to protect your privacy on any Wi-Fi network, such as public hotspots, while taking control of your visible online location.
The encryption process encodes your data, and this added step means many VPN providers will deliver slower browsing speeds. But this isn’t the case with IPVanish – we consistently deliver high-speed VPN service, so you can use the internet privately, without fear of lag or latency.
Why Should I Use a VPN in Mexico?
Use public Wi-Fi without fear
While public Wi-Fi hotspots are the ultimate convenience, they’re also the ultimate risk. Open network settings make public Wi-FI hotspots dangerous to use because anyone can use them and snoop on all the web traffic that passes over them. But with IPVanish encryption, it’s easy to secure your connection to any network, and protect your personal traffic so that others using public Wi-Fi can’t view your online activity.
Protect your online privacy.
Even if you’re in the privacy of your own home, that doesn’t mean you’ll have privacy online. Other parties, such as advertisers, are after your data. And some, like your ISP, have easy access to it. This is because your ISP provides your internet access, so they’re in a unique position to monitor your internet use. And to make matters worse, if you use a significant amount of bandwidth, they may even interfere with your connection. But what you do in your own home shouldn’t be anyone else’s business, and with IPVanish, it won’t be.
Restore you digital rights
All around the world, wrongful censorship and privacy violations create a negative online experience for web users. The same is true in Mexico. Everything from strict network regulation to overzealous data collection and retention stands in the way of true online freedom. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With IPVanish, you can reclaim your online freedom and privately access the World Wide Web you desire.

1,000+ servers in North America

THE Irish Voice response from senior editor Debbie McGoldrick about Christina Walsh and her family in the issue of November 17-23 was weak.
Sure you have the right to publish news of interest to the Irish community, but you didn't have to splatter the whole Walsh family over the front page. I'm very disappointed in you, like a lot of others.
No doubt it will sell papers in Woodlawn, but I thought the Irish Voice would have more sensitivity than to blast the Walsh family's pain on the front page! How would anyone on your editorial board feel if this was about one of his/her family?
Report it yes, but not like a tabloid! Shame on you, Irish Voice!

A man was jailed for three years for the rape of his wife after she told the court she forgives him and doesn’t want him imprisoned.
The sicko, who cannot be named to protect the woman’s anonymity, was convicted last July after a trial at the Central Criminal Court over the sex attack on his spouse at their home in Dublin on August 30, 2015.
He was also found not guilty, by direction of the trial judge, of assault causing harm to the woman. The man denied all the charges but has since accepted the jury verdict and apologised in court to his wife.
The judge heard during the attack the man ripped the woman’s clothes and put his hand over her face to stop her from screaming.
Gda Leslie McCormack told the court, in a victim impact statement prepared last September, the woman said she spent years scared of what her husband would say or do and “one day he would be OK, another day he would be violent”.
She added: “For a long time I tried to live with it. I just lived hoping he would change. I thank God this is over.
“I’m not scared anymore. I go home and I’m comfortable. I’m safe.” Justice Paul Coffey set a headline sentence of six years before noting mitigating factors, including the lack of other convictions and his devotion as a father.
He said after lying to the jury in his evidence the man has since acknowledged his guilt and apologised.
Justice Coffey reduced the sentence to five years and suspended the last two years in consideration of his wife’s plea for clemency.

Cork 2-10 Meath 2-12 (AET)
Meath are through to the All-Ireland Ladies Senior Final after an incredible late comeback in normal time earned them a second bite at the cherry in extra time.
The game began at a slow pace with both sides producing some unsatisfactory shooting; Cork registered seven first half wides.
Cork's Ciara O'Sullivan was desperately unfortunate as she went down under a challenge and appeared to land awkwardly on her shoulder just nine minutes in. After a long delay during which the centre-forward was treated, she was taken off on the mobile stretcher and replaced.
That took the momentum out of the affair for a spell and scores were not plentiful, however Eimear Scally had her eye in and sent Cork two points ahead from the free after O'Sullivan's injury.
Meath had yet to score at that stage but when they did they got two in quick succession, with Emma Duggan and Vikki Wall slotting over.
Meath then snuck ahead by two but were pegged back as Cork scored two before the end of the half to leave it level at four points apiece at the break.
The second half looked as though it would belong to Cork as they registered the first four scores after the interval, the last of which was a goal by Doireann O'Sullivan which left them 1-07 to 0-04 in front.
Cork maintained a gap of four points until the 54th minute when the impressive Eimear Scally goaled to send the Rebels seven points up, 2-08 to 0-07.
When Meath substitute Niamh Gallogly scored her second point of the day to leave a six point gap between the teams, there were just two minutes left and it seemed like an insignificant consolation score.
However, chaos ensued as Meath broke through again moments later and earned a penalty, which Stacey Grimes dispatched with just over a minute left on the clock.
The impossible still seemed improbable at that juncture but after a lackadaisical Cork restart from the kickout, Meath swarmed Cork and won possession back. With the Cork keeper still off her line, a pass was looped over her and into the hands of Emma Duggan who turned and blasted to the net to stun all in attendance and level the game.
There was time for little more and extra time followed.
The first period of extra time saw the two sides trade points on two occasions to leave the game at 2-10 apiece going into the final 10 minutes.
There were no scores for six minutes of the second half of extra time, and it was then that Emma Duggan stepped up to send a brilliant point over on the turn to edge Meath ahead.
Cork had a chance of levelling the game through a free, but Eimear Scally couldn't quite split the posts. The Cork sharpshooter had 1-6 for the day and was immense throughout the game.
That was Cork's last clear-cut chance as Meath held firm in defence, and the clinching score came from the inevitable boot of Emma Duggan just seconds from time.
It had looked like a game of two halves but the undying effort from Meath made it a game of four.
A buoyant Meath will now head to the All-Ireland final, where they will face Dublin.
FULL TIME! Cork 2-10 Meath 2-12

“My position as a CFO requires me to work 60 hours per week. My family commitments are my wife and three sons, aged 16, 14 and 2.5. ironguides provides me with customized training plans which are structured around my busy work schedule. These training plans have helped me maintain a high level of training volume with no injury down-time.

I decided to work with ironguides in 2009 after I registered for my first Ironman. Since I was returning to the sport, after a 20+-year absence, I believed that ironguides would structure a customized training program for me which would enable me achieve my lifetime goal of completing an Ironman, which I accomplished.

“The 12-week plan is fantastic. I have made breakthroughs in all three disciplines, especially the swim — and I am not a beginner in the sport! … for so many seasons I was sucked into the Zone-based myth and was always overtrained when I hit the Build phases. Now, even though the program is demanding, I always feel rested. I have not had an injury nor felt weak or sick. My times are always improving and there are actually LESS rest days than the Zone-based training program. It’s amazing really!”
“I’ve always been self-coached but didn’t want the commitment of a coach while I was interested in following a structure that works. The subscription service is a great idea as I’m still able to train using The Method, while it fits my budget and gives me flexibility to change the focus from single discipline to the balanced programme as I progress into the season”

^^^^ Watch or ffwd to the very end for Maher's comments on the most popular name and why he's upset by it.
Info posted with this ^^^^ Youtube:
Last week on Real Time with Bill Maher, Zach Galifianakis lit up a joint on live-television. After the fact, Bill Maher claimed that it wasn't a real joint and that Zach was smoking cloves. Margaret Hoover, one of the guests on the roundtable, sat down with Bill O'Reilly to discuss the incident. Hoover says that it definitely wasn't cloves and that later on Zach told her it was 'THC-3'.

We are on the lookout for a fun and creative way to collect cash donations for the Islington Mill fundraising project during this year’s Sounds From The Other City festival.
The Mill is fundraising to release crucial financial pledges from Arts Council England and Salford Council that will allow us to not only urgently fix our collapsed roof but will also massively expand our available studio space by refurbing the empty 5th and 6th floors, and will install an elevator to make our building truly dynamic and fully accessible.
We are searching for an artist or artists who will devise an ingenious creative intervention to transport around the entire festival site and gather cash donations from festival-goers.
The intervention you devise should be easily mobile so it can move between the various venues, interactive in a cool way, arresting and photogenic, and able to part people with cash donations in a fun way…!
Could you dress up as the Mill with a hole in your roof?
Are you a couple of wild drag queens on a tandem wielding a glitzy bucket?
Can you build a giant dragon that eats money?
You should of course be trustworthy, confident of asking for donations,happy to make a scene, able to grab the mic at a venue and make a fuss about our fundraising,eager to remind everyone that Islington Mill is the birthplace of this awesome award-winning festival, and able and willing to make a great big social media fuss in the lead up and on the day of SFTOC.
We are offering a fee of £150 for your work, 4 free tickets to this year and next year’s SFTOC festival, plus other Islington Mill VIP treats we can rustle up.
Deadline for applications is April 19th so a tight turnaround.
Get your ideas in ASAP to fundraising@islingtonmill.

Giovanni Rubino, also known as “Dentone” (“Big Teeth”), is first documented in Padua on 29 January 1513, when he entered workshop of Giovanni d’Antonio Minello. He spent all his active life in this city, distinguishing himself for a classicist style at forefront of contemporary artistic production.
He is remembered for two important works: the Victorieshe sculpted over the central arch of the Loggia (covered exterior gallery) designed by Giovanni Maria Falconetto (1468-1535) for the architectural theorist and humanist Alvise Cornaro (1484-1566), and the Miracle of the Jealous Husband, a relief in the chapel of St. Antony in the saint’s Basilica, which was later completed by Silvio Corsini. In the relief, Rubino created a dynamic and dramatic composition, probably inspired by Titian’s fresco of the same subject in the assembly hall of the Confraternity of St. Anthony, on the Basilica’s square. Such animated style was very different from that of Tullio Lombardo, the leading North-Italian classicist sculptor who also sculpted reliefs for St Anthony’s chapel in the Basilica.
Apart from these two commissions, Rubino’s career is not very well documented. He presumably died between May 1529 and February 1530.

I want to talk about the photography Post-Production by analyzing this creative process in its different shades.
Recently I have often put the attention on the topic of photography Post-Production.
In the stories of my Fotorubrina on Instagram, in messages of my followers and also in the previous article, where I wrote about to ponder the publication of your photos online.
I now want to go deep in this aspect that is neglected and badly managed by many.
First of all, let’s start from the assumption that in photography the visualization of the final image should already be present in your mind.
This means having an awareness that leads you to make a RAW in which you, as a photographer, pre-visualize the final result.
To do this, the person who takes the picture must do it wisely.
Unfortunately, there are too many photographs whose “strength” is given exclusively by digital processing in post-production. Where “strength” means a process that is based on mere numbers that tend to enhance the visual impact and becoming something that is no longer a personal vision or a project, but exclusively the creation of an image without a real meaning.
As we know, photography has many variations and each of these accepts a more or less incisive use of digital processing.
This however does not mean losing the overall vision and planning in what you do.
Photography Post-production must always be understood as a creative process in which software puts itself at the service of our photography, and not the other way around.
That phase in which our identity is finalized in the elaborate shots.
An identity starts above all from recognizing the rules of the type of photography we do and knowing how to customize them with respect.
Leaving aside my most authorial photography, which you find among the pages of this site, I want to analyze what my profession is as a photographer in the photographic studio.
Specifically, I want to focus on portraits for children (and newborn) for private use, the classic family photos. I make a lot of them and every year I have the pleasure of photographing hundreds of children.
I see many photographers who have concentrated on making purely “aesthetic” shots. With skin filter, crystal eyes and bokeh effect pushed with digital blur. A type of photography that exasperates what is the original vision of the Australian photographer Anne Geddes, recognized globally for her iconic images for babies. The real problem is that from this exasperation the photographer already departs from representing the subject as he is, the main rule of the family portrait. An advertising approach therefore, which distorts the child making it a doll to be used for photographic purposes.
But above all, from this, the photographer damages his identity because, being purely technical photographs, they are also widespread and replicated everywhere. It is no coincidence that they are almost always with a visible signature. To highlight that it is the signature that recognizes the photographer … and not the photo itself.
Let’s turn the page. In recent times a series of standardized visual outputs have been generated, especially on Instagram.
Currently, for example, there are an immense quantity of images with Teal & Orange filter. A visual trend in which many photographers or aspiring ones have become involved.
Conforming does not identify you and, as I said in the previous article, random likes and followers do not represent your photographic ability.
Last aspect concerns the photo retouches.
Starting from the simple crop of the image (which many abuse), up to the elimination of disturbing elements on the image.
Consider that in many photographic contests it is forbidden by regulation, to the point that, if during the revision of the RAWs (which are requested) photo retouching is denoted, one is excluded from the contest with denied possibility of participation for a few years.
This definitively reaffirms how the original shot is still a starting point from which you have to proceed with respect, awareness and criticism. Regardless of the type of photography you do.
I believe that you should never put the technical ability of the software in front of your ability and personality in taking photographs.
It is a long process that only with personal research and growth as a person can lead to results.
The important thing is not to fall at the mercy of Post-Production and make it dictate what you are as a photographer.
We must always keep in mind that a technical approach can be replicated by everyone, just know the camera and the software and you are at that point.
What you really are, however, nobody can be.
• If you are interested there is a Post Production course on my website.
• If you have a camera but don’t have a Post-Production program, I recommend Lightroom or Capture One (which I use). You can find a banner below that takes you to the page where you can download the 30-day trial version or purchase the software in various available packages
• If you are looking for a Pc ready for some proper photography post-production i suggest the MSI products for creators.

Introduced into everyday life in the 90s, the concept of “creativity” today is more popular with designers than with advertisers. It is not surprising to create something new, bright and unusual in the interior – a reason for pride.
What are the goals of company owners when they want to create a creative office? Improve the efficiency and creativity of employees. Office functionality is also aimed at improving efficiency. Will these directions complement each other and merge, or will the “lyrics” and the “physicists” go in parallel ways? Let’s try to figure it out
What is a creative office?
There is an opinion that in a creative office the concept of “work as work” is replaced by the concept of “work as a game” or “work as life”. It is unlikely that this is 100% true, but there is a healthy grain here.
Creative office implies the presence of areas for recreation, unloading and communication of company employees. This is achieved in a variety of ways – we will talk about them a little later.
Custom design workspace – the prerogative of the open space format and mixed layout. However, in popular open spaces, in addition to the undoubted advantage in the form of significant space savings, there are also disadvantages. To level them, you need to carefully consider the functionality of the room.
The transition from classrooms to open spaces did not take place gradually, but abruptly. Therefore, companies did not immediately recognize the problems of open spaces:
- Excessive noise;
- Lack of personal space for employees;
- Decreased attention span;
- Difficulties with climate control.
To minimize these problems, specialists propose to select several zones in the fully furnished office spaces in Delhi that are designed for individual and collective work, as well as for focused tasks that require a high concentration of the performer.
Depending on the tasks, employees use a particular area for work. Of course, for the staff to learn how to use the zones for their intended purpose (and not just strive to take a convenient place by the window or in the acoustic booth), it also needs to be trained.
Office functionality is not limited to planning and design. This concept includes ergonomics of workplaces, navigation, optimization of engineering systems responsible for the microclimate, organization of “smart” lighting and much more.
Can a creative office space be functional at the same time?
In the case of offices, the question of creativity and functionality at the same time should not arise. Office spaces are created for work, so they are functional a priori.
But a creative office can be called in two cases – when we are dealing with an outwardly unusual modern design and when spaces are created in the office that “stimulate” employees to be creative.
If the first case is in no way directly related to the functionality, since it is just a fashionable shell, the second just makes the creative space a significant component of a functional office space in India, one of the tools to increase the efficiency of business
