Quilt Top Notes/Techniques
So easy and cute!
The pattern has you sew the circles together and turn them right side out. I was lazy and just zig zagged them together and pinked the edges. I used a CD-R for a circle template. I made six in 45 minutes.

Stephen King's tale of a killer dog hit the big screen in 1983 with a score by composer Charles Bernstein. But Bernstein's music was cut up for the film's final edit, and the score never received a commercial release until last year, when Intrada presented the music as recorded by Bernstein for a CD reissue. The tracklisting for Real Gone's edition presents the complete film score as presented by Intrada, dropping the five alternate cues which were also included. The new vinyl reissue is limited to 1,000 copies and comes in "Saint-Bernard" Black & Brown. The LP also features new cover art.
The Cool Ghoul returns to vinyl! In 1960, Zacherle recorded an album for Elektra entitled Spook Along with Zacherley, featuring comedy songs with spoken word segments. Elektra's budget imprint Crestview Records reissued the LP in 1963, giving it a new title and new cover art. This new art was provided by legendary MAD Magazine artist Jack Davis. While the original 1960 version has been released on CD (in 2001, by Collectors' Choice), the 1963 version with Davis' alternate art has never been reissued. Real Gone's new vinyl edition comes in green and orange "Pumpkin" color and is limited to 1,000 copies. This new edition is a tribute to Zacherle and Davis, who both passed away last year.
P.P. Arnold, The Turning Tide (Kundalini Music)

Three more tracks on this set were helmed by Eric Clapton (including The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want"), and another pair by session great Caleb Quaye. These previously unreleased tracks are must-haves for any Bee Gees and Clapton collectors, not to mention fans of classic pop and soul. Due on CD, DD, and LP today in the U.K., and next Friday in the U.S.!

The Bharatiya Janata Party released its manifesto – the ‘Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra‘ – on Tuesday, for the upcoming assembly election in Uttar Pradesh. Originally scheduled to be launched on February 6, the launch was postponed following the death of iconic singer Lata Mangeshkar. The manifesto was released by Home Minister Amit Shah, state unit head Swatantra Dev Singh, and incumbent CM Yogi Adityanath.
According to the election manifesto, voters will be offered a long list of freebies, including free electricity for farmers for irrigation purposes, and at least one job or opportunity for self-employment to every family.
The incumbent BJP government has given substantial room in its manifesto to the general well-being of farmers and women in Uttar Pradesh, where the first round of the seven-phased state assembly election begins on Thursday. According to commentators, it has the potential to modernise state affairs and education.
If the party comes to power again this year, it would provide free electricity to farmers for agriculture for the next five years. In addition, the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Agri-Infrastructure Mission worth Rs 25,000 crores would establish cold chain centres, godowns, and processing units throughout the state. The manifesto calls for the establishment of a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for wheat and rice, as well as a budget of Rs 5000 crores for sugarcane mill modernisation. Furthermore, the manifesto promises that sugarcane farmers will be paid within 14 days, with interest, if payment is delayed. According to the manifesto, the state would also create up to six ‘Mega Food Parks’.
In terms of women’s empowerment, the party promised that under the ‘Mukhya Mantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana’, financial aid will be increased from Rs 15,000 to 20,000. Similarly, girls from low-income families will be given financial assistance of up to Rs 1 lakh for marriage. Moreover, every Holi and Diwali, the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will provide two free LPG cylinders to women. Critics have argued that by eliminating other religious communities’ holidays, the party is expressing its predilection for the Hindu majority. The manifesto guarantees free transportation for ladies over the age of 60. A total of Rs 1000 crores would be spent on ‘Mission Pink Toilet’, while widows’ monthly stipends will be increased to Rs 1500. The manifesto promises the installation of CCTV cameras in public places and near educational institutions, and the establishment of 3000 Pink Police booths. The number of women in government employment would be doubled under the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission.
In terms of education, ‘Mission Kayakalp’ will be started to produce furniture such as tables and benches for elementary schools, and the state’s 30,000 secondary schools and institutions would be modernised. Universities such as the Raja Mahendra Pratap University in Aligarh and Maharaja Suheldev University in Azamgarh have sophisticated infrastructure and world-class amenities. In Lucknow and Noida, digital research institutions will be established.
The release of the Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra was made into a mega event with the party’s high profile campaigner, Home Minister Amit Shah air-dashing from New Delhi to preside over. “Hum ghoshna-patra nahi, sankalp-patra jaari kar rahe hain”, said the chief minister, emphasising that he means business and does not believe in just making announcements.
It was also evident throughout the hour-long event, which was attended by BJP bigwigs, that the party had picked up most of its points from the carts of its rivals, including the Samajwadi Party and the Congress. The BJP manifesto didn’t mention Kashi or Mathura, which was a surprise. Ayodhya is only mentioned in relation to building an international airport.
It also speaks of setting up a dialysis unit in each of the state’s 75 districts. Both the BJP and SP have pledged free higher education for women. In the same way, both also call for free rides for women on public transportation. The BJP has promised to distribute 2 crore smartphones and tablets, an obvious follow-up to the distribution of laptops and tablets by the last government.
With manifestos becoming more of a rite, it is hard to tell how much impact they will have on voters’ minds. In the seven-phase poll, which begins February 10, western Uttar Pradesh will be the first region to vote. The votes will be counted on March 10.

T-shirts are more than just clothing items. In a way, people use their t-shirts to express their personalities, likes, dislikes, and beliefs. There’s a t-shirt design for everyone, making t-shirt printing one of the best startup businesses today, especially during the boom of eCommerce and online-selling platforms.
Entering a seemingly cramped industry might look like a bad idea today. But you only need to consider a few factors to do well with a T-shirt startup business.
So, before you start your design, keep reading below to know the tips for running a t-shirt business properly.
You will have a lot of competition in the industry. But the good thing is there’s a t-shirt design for everyone. So the market possibilities are limitless. All you need is a niche that will help your business stand out.
Look for something that your customers will proudly use as a way to show who they are. It could be anything from a witty statement or a culture-based content. Whatever it is, just make sure that your niche is something wherein you’re familiar and comfortable.
If you don’t have the skill to execute your vision, you can always seek the help of professional graphic designers.
Even if you’re selling online, you still need to license your business and trademark your brand. Identify your business structure and get the necessary documents required in your area so you can sell your t-shirts legally.
Unfortunately, the print job is not the same for all t-shirts. A few startup t-shirt businesses choose poor materials for low cost and more output, which is an apparent mistake.
If you want to feel like a genuine brand, you need to produce your t-shirts competently. Make sure that the print output and the shirt’s material feel premium. Fortunately, there are printing suppliers who can provide both.
You got your concept, found your shirt, and purchased your printer. But before you start production, you need to source a few test audiences to identify if the product will do well in the market.
Then, you do a test run, which can be costly because you might do a few prints to get the perfect design-to-shirt ratio. You might find that your design may look perfect on screen but may not translate well into a t-shirt.
Once you’ve considered all the costs for printing your design, you can then put a price on your t-shirts. This is a key element of getting your T-shirt startup business launched effectively.
Pricing your t-shirts too high won’t result in a faster return of investment (ROI). The market won’t invest in high-priced t-shirts. So, early on, you have to cover the expenses like production and marketing to keep the price budget-friendly.
The best thing about starting a retail business today is that there’s an abundance of online platforms where people can sell their products. You can use one or go for many platforms as long as you can manage different orders through those platforms simultaneously.
Once you find your online store, you also need to find your outlet to market your t-shirts. Social media is a cheap marketing tool for your business. You can set up a business page and start connecting to your audience and micro-influencers to market your designs.
The t-shirt industry is a great place to start a business with unlimited market possibilities. If you’re interested in joining the competition, don’t just offer unique designs, you need to keep in mind the wearer’s comfort and their budget, too.
Now, you’re all set! Go out there and be the brand people use to express themselves with your new T-shirt startup business.

The recent postmodern deconstruction and subversion of the Star Wars franchise on the big screen (in the Last Jedi) is an example of this pattern, and when watching the last two movies in the series, it all makes sense in context of them shitting on the original heroes to make them look bad, and to wish psychological distress on those who loved their hero’s legacy.
“Master morality for Nietzsche is the morality of the vigorous, life loving, strong; it’s the morality for those who love adventure, delight in creativity, and their own sense of purposefulness and assertiveness. Slave morality is the morality of the weak, the humble, those who feel week, the victimized—afraid to venture out into the big bad world. Weaklings are the chronically passive, largely because they are afraid of the strong; as a result, the weak feel frustrated—they can’t get what they want out of life. They become envious of the strong, and they also secretly start to hate themselves for being so cowardly and weak.
But no one can live thinking that he or she is deeply hateful, and so the weak begin to develop a rationalization, a rationalization that tells them that they are the good and the moral, because they are the weak, humble, passive. Patience is a virtue. Obedience is a virtue; they can’t do their own will, they have to obey, so “make it a virtue”. Humility, as being on the side of the weak and the downtrodden, people just like you. And so of course the opposites of those things must be the evil; aggressiveness, pride, independence, being physically and materially successful. Sound familiar? Sure. But of course Nietzsche says it’s a rationalization, and a smart weakling is never quite going to convince himself of it, and that will do damage inside. Meanwhile, the strong will be laughing at him, and that will do damage inside. The strong and rich will carry on getting stronger and richer, and enjoying life, and seeing that, will do more damage inside.
Eventually, the smart weakling will feel such a combination of self-loathing and envy of his enemies that he will need to lash out; he will feel the urge to hurt in any way he can his hated enemy. But of course he can’t risk direct physical confrontation, he’s a weakling; his only weapons are words. […] hate as a chronic condition leads to the urge to destroy. But again, your only weapons are words, how can you use words to destroy? I think the whole idea of deconstruction comes out of this. Postmodernism is populated by large numbers of people who like the idea of deconstructing other people’s work; it’s the opposite of constructing something of your own.”
~Stephen Hicks, “Stephen Hicks: Nietzsche Perfectly Forecasts the Postmodernist Left”

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get the alleged attempt to topple his government stopped and said he is open to welcoming back the Congress rebels led by Sachin Pilot. Answering queries from reporters, Gehlot said if the Congress high command forgives the dissidents, he will embrace them.
Since the power tussle between him and Sachin Pilot resurfaced this month, the Congress veteran has used harsh words against his former deputy, once even referring to him as “nikamma” or useless. Gehlot said he will do whatever the Congress leadership wants and gave the party the credit for becoming the Rajasthan chief minister thrice.
The chief minister was on his way back to Jaipur after an overnight stay at Jaisalmer’s Suryagarh resort, where loyalist MLAs have been shifted ahead of the assembly session from August 14. The Congress has accused the BJP of playing a major role in the rebellion by the now sacked deputy chief minister and 18 other Congress MLAs who are threatening his government.
“We have no quarrel with anyone. In a democracy, fights happen over ideology, policies and programmes and not for toppling a government. “Modi should get stopped whatever is going on in Rajasthan,” the chief minister said outside the hotel where the MLAs were shifted Friday. Gehlot and the ministers are likely to spend most of their time in the state capital as the Congress tries to keep its numbers intact in Jaisalmer.
He claimed that democracy is under threat in the country and the Union Home Ministry is after his government in the state. He repeated the charge that the “rate” for trying to lure MLAs away has gone up after the announcement of the assembly session.
Reacting to BJP state president Satish Poonia’s statement over the shifting of Congress MLAs to Jaisalmer, Gehlot called him a new leader who wants to take on former chief minister Vasundhara Raje. He commented that Raje has “disappeared” from the scene.
Poonia had mocked the Congress, asking if the Gehlot loyalists will move further westward across the border into Pakistan. MLAs from the Congress and its allies had remained confined to Fairmont hotel in Jaipur since July 13 before being flown to Jaisalmer on chartered flights. They are likely to visit Tanot Mata temple near the Pakistan border and some other places during their Jaisalmer stay, expected to continue till the assembly session begins on August 14.
Gehlot recalled that he had informed Narendra Modi about the political situation in the state through a letter and a telephone conversation. He said he will write another letter to Modi asking him to call a video conference of all chief ministers again to review the COVID-19 situation.
He said adequate testing for coronavirus is not taking place in some states while Rajasthan has increased its testing capacity to 40,000 per day. “We have done excellent Covid management in the state. The recovery rate is good, the death rate is less than 1 per cent,” he said.
Including the rebels, the Congress has 107 MLAs in the 200-member assembly. The BJP has 72 MLAs.

Over the years, I’ve hesitated to tell people that reading fiction is essential to a well-rounded worldview. I don’t like to push my opinions on anyone, because what works for me might not work for them, and vice versa. I also find it hard to articulate exactly why I find fiction so compelling. It’s not because I don’t read and enjoy other kinds of literature—I find history, philosophy, and memoir all particularly moving—or because I want to escape life. It’s more than that—something deeper. There are certain ways of seeing truth, glimpses of beauty and eternity and coming restoration, that I only find in stories.
If you struggle to find fiction beautiful because you’ve seen the harm it can do, I sympathize with you. Just like anything good can be twisted, storytelling can also be used to distort, deceive, or appeal to our baser desires. Anyone who’s ever browsed in a library or bookstore will see this.
However, anything that has such a large potential for harm also has amazing potential for healing and truth. Goodness and Beauty will win out over evil every time. And we can participate in that victory by actively searching out the beautiful things in our world and engaging with them.
Here are a few reasons why I find fiction beautiful and compelling:
Storytelling as Art
Because fiction is an art made of words, we tend to think it can be translated into other words without losing anything. So people think a story is just a way of delivering a message. Art frees us; and the art of words can take us beyond anything we can say in words. I wish, instead of looking for a message when we read a story, we could think, “Here’s a door opening on a new world: what will I find there?”Ursula K. Le Guin
I think many people view reading fiction as a waste of time because they misunderstand its purpose. They expect novels to resemble nonfiction—to be either ultra-realistic, like memoirs and biographies, or to have a clear agenda, like history, theology, and philosophy. And while most authors do have some sort of statement they want to make, many just want to tell a good story. Their characters are like us, flawed and impatient and prone to making bad decisions. Their plots reflect the chaos of our world, while managing a cohesion we can only wish for. Their settings may mirror earth or be its polar opposite, but still feel familiar.
You won’t be able to come away from a good novel with one simple application, moral, or life lesson. Reading fiction with this expectation is like attending an orchestra concert or walking through an art gallery expecting to learn a practical skill. Instead, try reading fiction in the same way you experience nature; look for wonder, grandeur, or glimpses of hope and beauty. Allow the story to open space in your mind for you to think, feel, or process. Use the aspects you agree or disagree with to initiate healthy discussions with your friends and family.
Art should be approached with a mind thirsting for beauty and truth, not one looking for specific life lessons. When I read fiction, I’m searching for understanding—of the world, of myself, of people in general. I look for stories that either bring me hope or remind me why I need it, stories that are vulnerable and human, that broaden my empathy and understanding instead of confirming my prior biases. I encourage you to do the same.
Storytelling as Worship
Imagination is the faculty of the mind that God has given us to make the communication of his beauty beautiful. …The other reason I say that imagination is a Christian duty is that when a person speaks or writes or sings or paints about breathtaking truth in a boring way, it is probably a sin.John Piper1
A few years ago, my family and I spent a Sunday morning in a rainforest in Washington state. One particular place felt like a massive cathedral, a clearing surrounded by ancient trees hung with moss and shot through with golden shafts of sunlight. It was a shelter, not only from the rain, but from the racing of my thoughts, from the craziness of the wider world. In that wet, wonderful Eden, there was no escape from the peace. My heart was laid bare, nothing hidden from the Creator of both forest and me. In that peace, He could speak to me, and I to Him. For someone who had mostly associated worship with singing, it was an epiphany. Worship is not only what we do, but how we do it.
In this vein, participating in good fiction can and should lead us to worship. Even many secular novels are laced with themes of redemption, love, forgiveness, and hope, all ideas that are at the heart of Christianity. Although not all authors come to correct conclusions, they (the honest ones, at least) may ask good, thought-provoking questions that can incite worship, wonder, and hope.
Stories have also given me space to reflect on and understand myself. Much of what I know of myself as a person has been gleaned from various characters in novels I’ve read over the years. Seeing parts of my personality validated and articulated and fleshed out has been both shocking and delightful at the same time. For me, sometimes worship means learning to understand and embrace the complexities of my humanity that reflect my Creator in order to mold it into something beautiful.
In his Nobel lecture, Kazuo Ishiguro said, “In the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it also feel this way to you?”Claire Rudy Foster2
Stories have been around for as long as humanity has. Passed on through song, carved onto cave walls, pressed into clay, handwritten on parchment, and now printed on paper and transmitted digitally, storytelling is an art form that will never go out of style. It’s part of our psyche as humans, a way of expressing what we care about and what we hope for. It helps us understand our world and the part we play in it.
Good stories do more than entertain. They attempt to make order out of chaos, to illuminate the threads of hope and love we tend to overlook. They speak to the heart instead of the head. They find redemption in tragedy, familiarity in the extraordinary, and beauty in the mundane. They amuse and entertain while never distracting from the real world. They are sometimes cautionary tales and sometimes bright visions of the future Restoration.
Good stories are beautiful because they explore the tension between Truth and Lies, between Good and Evil, between Beauty and Perversion.
Good stories are beautiful because they are True.

Drew and Elijah go way back. When they were young boys, they would routinely get into heated arguments about politics after church. As they got older, their paths seemed to head in a different direction. Elijah spent a couple years teaching English in Ghana, while Drew started collaborating with Sergey on a wide range of musical projects. These formative years in our lives served to make us more passionate about the issues facing our broader communities. Our individual experiences, as different as they were, served to develop in us a similar hunger and pursuit of truth.
Now, as we have been joining together in this new blog project, we are enjoying working together, bouncing ideas back and forth, and learning a lot in the process. Our life experiences are quite different, so it’s fascinating to compare notes and look at issues from different perspectives. This blog gives us a practical outlet to publish some of these thoughts; we’d love to have others join us in these discussions!
We believe in a God who created the universe, redeemed fallen man, and gave us a book that beautifully explains the story. We are grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ for saving us from sin, giving us a reason to live, and the promise of a glorious future with Him. We hold the Bible as the ultimate source of all truth, and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we look to it for wisdom and direction in every area of our lives.
As Jesus told us, we believe the first and greatest command is to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. Secondly, we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. These truths, while profoundly simple, provide the foundation for our Christian lives, and the means by which we learn to relate to each other. We aim to keep this in the center of our efforts to explore and learn more about the world and our communities.
We’re all from outside of the Anabaptist community. For us, the convictions we now hold came as a result of years of trials and searching. While the lessons we learned were valuable and faith-strengthening, we don’t want to see others repeat our mistakes. We see many people within our communities who are wrestling with serious issues, trying to find their way, and overwhelmed with the pressures they face. We can identify with this turbulence and are still grappling with many questions in our own lives.
But we’re excited and strengthened to know that there are answers to these questions! If our own ability to process and face life determined our fate, we’d be a hopeless mess. But we’ve seen God tenderly direct us and give us answers through the Word and by His Spirit. That’s how we can have confidence to go on. We hope our thoughts can serve as an inspiration for you to be drawn closer to Christ and search more earnestly for His truth. He truly is worth living for!

All You Need to Know About Mike McDevitt and Tessemae
The plaintiff in this case is Tessemae’s that is a Maryland limited liability selling marinades, salad dressings, meal kits and much more. Michael McDevitt Baltimore city county is the defendant and is a non-lawyer owner and CEO of defendants Tandem legal group. Mike McDevitt and Tessemae’s are in a conflicting agreement which the plaintiff seeks compensation in court. There is lack of fulfillment of the promise McDevitt gave in this case. It meant that McDevitt would serve as point of contact of all business dealings between Tessemae’s and Tandem defendants. Michael McDevitt and Lawsuit is alleged to cause damage and loss to the plaintiff.
One of them is RICO. There is a claim under the RICO act against Michael McDevitt and Tandem Legal Group. There are some requirements in this point such as conduct, of an enterprise, through a pattern and of racketeering activity.

Civil conspiracy. In this case there is an alleged civil conspiracy between Mike McDevitt and Tessemae.

However this cannot stand on its own meaning that it must be based on some underlying tortious action by the defendants. However the defendants in this case argue that the plaintiff has not pled facts that support its assertion of a civil conspiracy among the defendant. The court therefore rules that the plaintiff has an amended complaint with a naked allegations.
The last one is tortious interference. This allegations against Mike McDevitt Baltimore is raised that caused damage to the plaintiff. Some requirements here include the plaintiff to show that the defendant committed intentional and willful acts, calculated the cause of damage, there is actual damage and it was done with unlawful purpose.

In addition the plaintiff must allege that the defendant interfered with its existing or anticipated business relationships. However the plaintiff failed in this claim.

What does every groovy babe need for their 70s themed birthday? A mini-VW bug of course! Wanna know how I transformed this sun faded Little Tikes car into a cute pink + white car? Keep reading to see this cozy coupe VW makeover! Honestly, it was way easier than I thought. I pulled the whole thing off from start to finish in one night — procrastination at its finest, lol.
What You’ll Need:
- Little Tikes car (the older version without the eyes)
- White spray paint, ~2 cans
- Pink spray paint, ~ 2 cans
- Painter’s tape
- Plastic shopping bags
- Extra large trash bags
- Chrome edging
- VM emblem *or use cutting machine + vinyl
- Custom cozy coupe license plate *or use cutting machine + vinyl
- Optional: acrylic paint & small craft brush for car horn
Step 1: Get yourself a Little Tikes cozy coupe. — I’m talkin’ the OG version that doesn’t have the silly eyeballs on it like the new ones have. I found mine on Facebook marketplace for $15.
Step 2: Clean ‘er up. Mine was in rough shape covered in dirt and cobwebs, so my husband gave it a good clean with the hose. I may or may not have proceeded to leave it outside to the elements for two more months, sooo I had to pleasure of washing her all over again by hand. 🥴 But whateva, she was clean + ready for a fresh paint job.
Step 3: Now, in all the cozy coupe VW makeover tutorials I watched, they all took apart the car to spray paint it. I did not have time nor patience for that, so I opted to spray paint her the lazy way: fully assembled. You figure taking the time to prep is probably just as time consuming as trying to take the car apart. I used an extra-large trash bag to place under the car along with plastic grocery bags+ painters tape to cover the wheels.
Step 4: Once your wheels are covered and taped off, go ahead and spray paint the whole car white – that’s right – the whole thing. (I used Rustoleum Paint + Primer in White.) Let it dry and repeat for a second coat. Oh, and don’t forget to spray with the door open and shut.
+PRO TIP: I did this project in late October, which is not ideal spray-painting weather. I did get some drips due to the cold temp and my own pure hastiness, but you definitely want to try and get as smooth of a coat as possible. Don’t worry about covering everything the first go-around. Also, don’t worry about underneath the car — just paint what is visible.
Step 5: You’ll want to make sure the second coat is 100% dry before continuing. This is the most time-consuming part, but it’ll be worth it; I promise. You’ll want to tape off where you want to keep white. I started with the angles in the front of the car first, making a very crisp ‘V’ with my tape. I used a mixture of leftover shopping bags and large garbage bags to lay over the car as I taped it all off. You can see I left the whole top uncovered and followed the natural groove on the sides of the coupe to tape along. I also covered the steering wheel, seat, and back part of the car. Spray two coats of your accent color. (I used Rustoleum Paint + Primer in Candy Pink). She looks a hot mess, but just wait…
Step 6: I let the car dry overnight before removing the tape. Now comes the best part! Peel that tape off and reveal your masterpiece! But we ain’t done yet! (*Totally optional, but I did use acrylic paint to paint the horn on the car.)
Step 7: Add your VW emblem. To save money, I just cut one out with my Silhouette machine using white vinyl. However, if you want it to look super authentic, they do sell actual VW silver emblems online — Here are some I found on Amazon.
Step 8: Add chrome edging to the front and sides of your car where the pink and white paint meets. This stuff is so dang easy to work with! Just peel the backing off to stick it to the car, then peel the top blue layer off to reveal the chrome. It’s super easy to cut, too. I just used regular scissors.
Step 9: I, again, used my Silhouette machine to cut out the girls’ names on pink vinyl. If you don’t have a cutting machine or want something a little fancier, there are shops on Etsy that make custom license plates specifically for cozy coupes. Here is one I found with great reviews.
And that’s it!
It seems like a lengthy process, but I started this project the night before the girls’ birthday party and finished the morning of. As long as you’re diligent about taping off your paint areas, you’re golden! If I can do it, you can do it! And if you don’t want to do pink, just substitute out the pink for any other color you want! (I do recommend a paint + primer in one though.)
It came out so stinkin’ cute and was a hit with the kids at their party! If you have questions or you use this tutorial to make your own cozy coupe VW makeover, please comment below, tag me, all the things so we can connect. And to see more 70s inspo, be sure to check out my Two Groovy Party post and DIY Lava Lamp Favors post!
Peace out, groovy mamas! ☮

It is funny how a seemingly plain ol’ event can really be a spiritual encounter. Today I went out with my two little girls to pick up some vegetables from a nearby shop a minute’s walk from our home. As we ambled down the lane I noticed a lady up ahead with her baby tied to her back with her shawl. Then, as we turned the corner, we could see that she had stopped farther ahead on the road to adjust her baby. Another woman was helping, holding the baby on her back for her while she cinched her shawl tighter and tucked the ends in. As we came upon them, I could overhear their conversation.
The second lady was asking the first about her baby and how old it was. We were both quite surprised to hear that the ‘baby’ was actually over two years old. It looked like a nine- or ten-month-old infant. The second lady, in Nepali fashion, continued to ask questions of this complete stranger about the child and why it was so small and how it behaved. I, since I am living in Nepal and it is quite fine to do so, stood by and listened to the conversation and added my two cents. It was clear from listening to the mother speak that she had no idea what exactly was wrong with her child, but she was coming from a monthly doctor visit at the charity hospital.
“What does she eat?” I queried. The mother admitted that the child ate only a little rice.
“Is she still nursing?” I asked further, and I was assured that the little girl was still getting milk, albeit not very much.
As we walked along, she turned the questions to me, the familiar questions of where I lived, where I was from, how many children I had. Then came the ever-present shock at the fact that I had four children. She told me I looked like I had just gotten married and asked the perfect strangers who were passing by if that was not so. They assured her it was, and that they could not believe either that I had four children. And so our friendly conversation went as we approached the point where I knew our ways would separate.
“Can you read?” I asked her, as I pulled a little picture tract of the gospel out of my pocket.
“Is that a church book?!” she asked excitedly. “I went to church a couple of times. I liked what I heard and they gave me some rice, but my husband told me not to go back or he would beat me.” From the little conversation we had had, I had already learned that this was not an idle threat.
“It is a Christian book,” I assured her. “Can you read it?” She could not, but she answered that her children could read it to her. As she took it, she asked me if it was okay to put this ‘church book’ in her bag with the baby’s extra pants and cloth diapers. I smiled that it was just fine to put it anywhere she could carry it.
She went on to tell me that she really wanted to learn more about “the Christian religion” and that for the last five months or so she had stopped worshipping idols and stopped wearing a tika (the red dot Hindus wear on their forehead).
Did not my soul rejoice within me when I heard those words?! Here was someone that the Lord was already dealing with, who wanted to learn, who had taken some steps, and who was being shown more mercy to slowly lead her to Himself.
“Pray to God every day and ask Him to show you Himself. He will. He wants you to know Him,” I told her. I asked her then how often she came to the hospital with the baby. Every month, was the answer.
“Please come by my house the next time you come to the hospital. We can talk, and I will make some tea. It will be so nice to visit,” I pressed her.
As we parted, she brought her hands together in the meeting or parting fashion, and said, not the Hindu greeting, but the words that Christians say upon meeting or leaving, “Jai Mashi.”
She then left and I watched her walk a little, thinking about how she is open and even eager to learn of Christ. I felt like I wanted to grab her and bring her to my home right then to keep her from slipping away. Then I thought, Slipping away from what? God obviously is already caring for her and trying to bring her to Himself. I am just glad that I got to be a part of it. Now is the time to pray.
Please pray for Daya. Daya means mercy.

“A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow.”
“My father didn’t do anything unusual. He only did what dads are supposed to do – be there.”— Max Lucado
“A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.”
When your parents are gone, you may easily feel alone in the world, even if you have made your own family and are surrounded by friends.
There’s nothing similar to the relationship you can have with your father.
But, even when your father was not the most exemplary parent, you’ll still miss him when he is gone. Grieving is a process.
There’s no shortcut; you have to go through it. But there are ways to go through this hard time of your life without being scared or traumatized. Let’s explore these:
Solution #1: Write a Letter to Your Dead Father
Your father died, and you miss him so much. You feel like there are so many things you haven’t told him, so many things you wanted to share, but you didn’t have enough time.
Or maybe some things were too difficult to talk about, so you postponed telling him about those, and now you feel it’s too late.
Maybe you haven’t had the time to say goodbye to your father, even though you were aware that the day when he is gone is coming.
A great way to honor your dad’s memory and still nurture your connection with him is to write him a letter. Yes, he will never really read the letter.
Writing a letter to your father will allow you to express your feelings, contemplate your relationship with him, and remember all the best moments you shared, all the good things you learned from him, and all the lessons he taught you.
You can also write about everything you didn’t like about your relationship with your father.
Share all the things you hadn’t dared to tell him, confront him with the truths about yourself that you avoided speaking about when he was alive.
After you write the letter, you will still feel sad, but you’ll also feel ready to accept your sadness so that the grieving process can take its natural course.
Solution #2: Accept Your Feelings
If left untreated, emotions of sorrow or rage might intensify, especially if you’ve never seen death up close.
Understanding the flow of these emotions can be done, for example, through mindfulness meditation.
Think about relaxing on a riverbank while observing the boats. Similar to how you might observe your thoughts to discover how your emotions have been affected by your sadness.
By “monitoring” your thoughts, you become more aware of how they affect your emotions, which in turn lessens the pendulum effect of emotions.
You start to lessen the force of your emotions by anticipating them.
Solution #3: Take Care of Yourself
There are various ways that grief may harm you. Sleep deprivation, decreased appetite, and immune system impairment is very frequent.
Protecting your fitness and health is the cure.
Protecting your health first will guarantee that you can heal and assist others in doing the same, similar to the pre-flight safety guidelines to put on your oxygen mask before aiding others.
Only a few steps are necessary. Start a walking group, consume natural, unprocessed foods, and drink plenty of water.
Your mood and ability to cope will improve when you feel physically strong.
Solution #4: Grieve in Your Way
Grief might make us self-conscious about how other people view us.
Please don’t evaluate your response to loss since there is no right or wrong way to grieve.
You’re not required to act or appear in a specific way.
For some people, it may be easier to through themselves into work, and others may need some time off.
Everyone has the right to grieve in their unique way.
Please do not concern yourself with how it seems to others or what they may think.
Never worry about being judged because this is only your personal experience. Follow your feelings.
Solution #5: Honor the Beautiful Memories
At first, thinking about your dad will probably make you cry. You normally find it hard to control your emotions when others around you express sympathy.
But, in time, you will learn that by thinking back on the happy moments you had together, you can still enjoy your dad’s “company.”
Don’t refrain from seeing yourself recreating your special experiences.
You’ll eventually smile or giggle to yourself exactly as you did at the moment. So enjoy seeing your parents whenever you want and allow them to continue to exist in your mind.
You Want to Talk to Your Dad Who Passed Away – What Does It Mean?
If you want to talk to your dead father, it means that there is a lot left unsaid between you.
However, it can also mean that he was someone with whom you were extremely close, who perhaps understands you better than others, and you need that kind of relationship.
In any case, it is important that you understand that it is natural that you have such a need after your father passes away. Also, it can mean that you are not ready to say goodbye to him yet.
Maybe some of your conversations were left unfinished, so you continue them in your head.
One effective way to deal with this need is to write down all your unfinished conversations and how you imagine they would end.
This way, you will get that content out of yourself, and then it will be easier for you to see your need more objectively and understand why you miss talking to your father so much.
What If You Can’t Get Over Your Dad’s Death?
Losing your father, no matter what kind of relationship you had with him, is a huge stress. Grieving is a process and, as such, has different stages.
It is typical for people who experience a great loss to go through these five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
When there are unresolved issues in your relationship, you may get stuck in some phase of grieving.
Also, if there are other stressful events in your life, the circumstances may overcome your defense mechanisms, and you cannot control your feelings.
It is very important that you understand that it is perfectly okay to ask for help.
Many people tend to shut down and withdraw when they are grieving. But that only makes the process of accepting the loss more difficult.
The feeling of shame also prevents many people from going through grieving. As if they are ashamed of the sadness they feel.
These are all things that require special treatment. You should also know that grieving is not a linear process and can happen just after you think it is easier for you to return to the previous phase.
In the depression phase, people most often have the experience that they will never be able to get over the loss of their father.
But it is only a passing experience and a natural process of grieving.
It is important that you do not try to suppress emotions in this period and do not try to fight against them because that will only slow down and make the whole process more difficult.
The Unique Father & Daughter Bond
Fathers are very important to girls. They hold the key to a woman’s self-confidence and security and strongly influence her choice of life partner.
For girls who had good fathers and those who didn’t, the death of their father is a great loss because it puts an end to their childhood.
Girls with good fathers now have to look for that support and that security within themselves.
With their death, girls who did not have that luck and whose fathers were not there for them forever lose the opportunity to repair that relationship.
The more mature a person is, the less complicated the grieving will be.
Girls who had complicated relationships with their fathers should seek support from other men of significance during this fragile period of their lives.
The loss of a parent is frequently dismissed by society as a normal course of events, but those who have gone through it understand how profoundly it alters their lives.
You experience pain and loss because you have a heart, but that heart is much more resilient than you would have thought.
You suddenly become aware of how important family bonds are.
The same heart may gain self-assurance, beat with fresh hope, and become healthier than ever by doing the abovementioned actions. You should and can still have fun.
Your dad would have approved of it. Live your life knowing that your father will be pleased with you.

As much as asking questions is part of everyday conversation, they can be highly irritating.
We undoubtedly show interest and learn new information with questions, but questions also have another side.
Questions can be highly nosy, rude, insensitive, manipulative, offensive, etc.
That’s exactly how you feel when someone asks you questions, and that’s why you hate them.
Why does being asked questions make you angry? This could be because you feel like your privacy is being invaded, you dislike pointless questions, or specific questions make you feel insecure.
How many times has it just happened to you that your whole day is ruined because of some stupid question from a colleague at work or even a friend you hang out with?
Sometimes you think it’s better to avoid people just to prevent their toxic, manipulative questions.
This article will better explain why you get triggered when asked questions and how to build the best defense against stupid questions.
5 Probable Reasons Why Being Asked Questions Make You Angry
Everywhere you go, you feel like you are being asked stupid questions that raise your anger and ruin your mood.
It’s common to encounter stupid questions at work, but unfortunately, even your family members can ask them at home, making it difficult to escape.
What are the reasons why you hate it so much when others ask you questions:
1. You Feel That Your Privacy is Being Violated
Intrusive questions are the most common way to violate privacy.
If you value privacy and prefer not to share personal details, you may feel uncomfortable when asked unnecessary or intrusive questions.
Certain questions may touch upon sensitive or private aspects of your life that you prefer to keep to yourself.
And, after all, you have the right not to talk about yourself when you don’t want to.
Some people fail to understand the concept of privacy and therefore do not value it. Consequently, it is unlikely that they will respect the privacy of others.
Have you ever met someone who immediately opens up and shares everything about themselves? They might tell you about their income, residence, likes, and dislikes? And then what? Then they expect the same from you. What is wrong with those people!
Of course, you have different levels of privacy with everyone. You certainly allow close people to ask more intimate questions.
However, it’s important to remember that you can decline to answer any questions, even if they come from family members if you feel they are too invasive or overly controlling.
2. You Have Trust Issues
You may have been more eager to give answers to all the questions asked, but that changed.
Unfortunately, it was the wrong decision many times because it was counterproductive for you.
Someone has taken advantage of your oversharing in the past and thus completely ruined your trust in everyone else.
Your trust in others has led you to experience several uncomfortable and awkward situations.
Also, someone may have used the information you provided.
Let’s say you shared a business idea that you are planning with someone, and the next thing you know, your vision is stolen, someone else is making a profit, and you didn’t even get a thank you for it. So how can you not be bitter after that?
3. You Think That Others Ask You Something Just to Hurt You
We will assume that you think most people are mean and ask you something just so they can judge you or even humiliate you.
You will surely find yourself in a position where you are asked about something that challenges your beliefs, opinions, or competence. Although you want to avoid such situations, they are inevitable.
If you are honest, direct and hate mind games and two-faced people, malicious questions will undoubtedly annoy you.
Asking such questions intends to harm you or to establish the person asking as superior to you.
Imagine a situation where a “friend” asks about your income, not out of genuine curiosity but to brag about their success and higher earnings.
We hope you don’t have many friends like that, because if you do, then you don’t need enemies.
There is also that strange human need when someone complains about their problems and expects you to complain about yours. That’s why they ask you various questions to find out what bothers you.
This is unsurprising because it is well-known that miserable people try to make others miserable.
4. You Hate Stupid Questions
“There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.” This is the saying you agree with the least.
According to you, there are many pointless no-sense questions to which only a stupid answer can be given.
Many stupid questions come from small talk, which sometimes seems inevitable.
You leave the house, ignore others, and rush to work, but your nosy neighbor is ready to ask you some random stupid thing just to start a conversation with you. You hate neighbors like that.
Sometimes, while you’re at work, your colleagues may ask you random questions just to avoid an awkward silence.
You must think: “Can’t we just shut up and work? Why do you all have to be so social?”
Because of your attitude, we will assume that you are not too popular among your colleagues.
5. You’re Afraid That Questions Will Expose Your Insecurities
Unless you’re some egocentric narcissist (which we know you’re not because they love to be constantly asked something), it’s clear that you don’t like being put in the spotlight.
We are not saying that there are no malicious questions because there definitely are, but not all the questions you get daily are like that, but you perceive them that way.
It’s about your insecurities that scream when someone asks you a question to which you are afraid you don’t know the answer.
Imagine the following situation: You are at work or at dinner with friends. Someone asks you a question in front of everyone, and you don’t know the answer, even though everyone expects you to know it. This is what your nightmares look like.
You are afraid of appearing uncultured, uneducated, or even embarrassing yourself.
It is also possible that you don’t like questions because you are hiding something.
You may expose something you wish to keep hidden by answering specific questions.
That’s why you get defensive instead of answering questions and even start arguing. Usually, those who hide something have the most need to lie and justify themselves.
How to Deal With Questions That Make You Angry?
You have had enough situations where a random awkward question ruins your day. Instead of letting stupid questions upset you, you can protect yourself by putting up a shield and deflecting them.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Some Questions Don’t Deserve an Answer
You have the right to choose which questions to answer.
Some people are rude, manipulative, and don’t respect boundaries.
You are not required to answer any questions that make you uncomfortable or violate your boundaries.
If you feel threatened or offended by a conversation, it is okay to leave without feeling impolite.
2. Recognize The Harmful Question
It’s essential to recognize that not all questions are harmful, manipulative, or toxic.
Some questions are entirely valid and expected, and it’s important to differentiate them from unnecessary ones.
Especially those small talk questions. We know they are stupid and unnecessary to you, but people often ask them just to say something.
3. Recognize Your Insecurities
Being overly triggered by specific questions is not beneficial for your overall well-being.
This is a sign of insecurity and dissatisfaction with yourself; therefore, you feel that everyone is against you.
Focusing on your insecurities can help you build a strong defense against questions or comments that may trigger them in the future.
Most Importantly – Set Clear Boundaries
Unfortunately, we cannot always escape from unpleasant questions, whether malicious or not.
There will always be someone who will ask you that question that can make you angry, but is it worth being angry? You’ll just waste your nerves.
If there are certain topics that you do not want to discuss at a particular time or location, you can communicate this by saying:
- “Please refrain from asking me personal questions; thank you.”
- “I would rather not talk about this.”
- “I am not comfortable discussing workplace-related topics.”
You must be even more direct if you meet a more aggressive interlocutor:
- “That’s none of your business! Mind your own business!”
- “My personal life is none of your concern.”
- “That topic is offensive to me, and I would rather not discuss it.”
Understanding the reasons behind this emotional response and finding ways to manage it effectively is essential.
By recognizing the potential triggers and implementing these few tips, we believe that uncomfortable questions will cause you less trouble.
Finally, we have a question for you, and we hope it won’t make you angry: Was this article informative and helpful to you? Please let us know in the comment section. Thank you.

When you encounter water damage from a leaky pipe, rainstorm or flood, you obviously need to have things back to normal as soon as you can, most probably you’ll require water damage restoration services in Laguna Woods.
If you’re dealing with anything aside from a huge incursion, you understandably may be contemplating handling the drying and cleaning yourself to save time or money. The challange is that cleaning up and recovering from water damage is not always as straightforward as it appears, professional water damage restoration could even help you to save money and effort. This post highlights three important things you need to be informed of when fixing water damage from a minor clean water (or Category 1) incursion.
1) Know What You’re Dealing With
If you read our recent post on understanding the risks of water damage, then you know that water damage can be caused by three different kinds of water, including:
Clean water (Category I)
Gray water (Category 2)
Blackwater (Category 3)
It’s significant to figure out the differences because Category 2 and Category 3 water present health risks to your employees and clients and have to be handled differently. The most probable sources of fresh water would be water from a pipe, water heater, steam lines or even rainwater. The basic guideline is that it should look and smell like tap water.
Recovering from Category 2 or Category 3 water damage or significant flooding entails additional challenges that we will not enter into in this post, but you can read about in our Quick Guide to Water Damage in Laguna Woods.
2) Be Sure That You Investigate All of the Damage
The tough thing about recovering from water damage from some thing such as a broken pipe or rainwater incursion is that you can normally only observe a small portion of the true harm. Nearly all the moisture is often hidden in walls, and it’s important to recognize and dry all of the affected regions to stop mould.
The methods for managing damage to walls in regards to water damage restoration depend on the type of substances and also what’s behind those substances. Drywall can frequently be salvaged when you respond quickly to harm.
You’ll also need to pull and examine your foundation molding and flooring materials. In case you the floors are carpet, you may have the ability to pull back the wet area and dry it (along with the floor materials using a fan).
3) Establish Appropriate Airflow and Keep the Windows Closed When Drying
Once you discover moisture, your first instinct is to open windows to assist with the drying process, but it may not be your very best move. By way of instance, if your building is mechanically ventilated, the programs require continuous pressure levels to work correctly. You also need to prevent extra coolness or warmth and humidity, or you may end up complicating the drying process.
You’ll typically need one air mover for each 15 — 25 square feet of floor unless the moisture load and density is particularly high, you might need more. To avoid mold, be certain all of the materials and layers are dry before putting everything back together.
The Big Dry Out
If you’ve experienced water damage, ideally, you’re dealing with fresh water and a small area. No matter what type of water damage you’re addressing, if you would like more information about water damage restoration, this manual is a good starting point. And in case you have any additional questions or want assistance from professionals of water damage restoration, do not hesitate to call us.

In the warm
In the warm
For those who would like to make this autumn even brighter there are three fashionable and warm trends.
Fur ennobles, gives a chic. Besides, if it is created by bright colors of rainbow, then success is guaranteed. After wearing unusual cloth, you start feeling differently: emotions, movements and walk. Is not this a miracle?
Bright furs are incredible popular and simple irreplaceable in this season. The most important that furs shall not to have the usual natural shade but is bright and colorful. Do not afraid of being a “black sheep” and bring some warm and joyful feelings s to snowy days with the help of your favorite color. Pink, purple, yellow… stand out from the crowd! The main thing in creating images from lush fur is a work with volume. A fur coat and waistcoat is better to combine with leggings or narrow trousers. The same can be said about dresses and skirts which should have an adjacent silhouette, a pencil skirt will give a perfect look. It is better not to add fur hats as image will become overloaded. The most appropriate here will be a woolen cap of large mating or a hat.
Classics of the genre
The simple turtleneck has ability to demonstrate the gracefulness of posture and all the delights of the figure. So, its closeness is attractively deceptive. She clearly draws a silhouette leaving flight for a fantasy. Usually, turtleneck is comparing with the veil of the wardrobe as it has ability to intrigue by closing the body but at the same time show all shapes of it. The first thing you should pay attention is ideally seated underwear. It should be smooth and not leave its mark in the image. Besides, the most important is that the neck of turtleneck must be open to the eye from all sides in order to demonstrate the neck line. Turtleneck can be remarkable by using and combining with any clothes. It can add more brightness with embossing, braids, a pattern in the small hem “noodles” or an unusual print .Turtleneck with velvet culottes or with pleated skirt looks both nontrivial and practical - two seemingly simple wardrobe items in tandem create an interesting duet.
Soft, velvety, with a volume texture, changing the texture from glossy shine to matte and vice versa… It is all about corduroy, velour and velvet. These fabrics conquered the fashion podiums in this autumn-winter season. They have an excellent texture and look great in deep colors. There are no restrictions in the choice of colors. A win-win option is blue, green lime or all shades of red. It is better to combine the velvet fabric with knitwear, artificial or natural fur, chiffon, denim and leather. Buy everything that can make you happy-skirt, trousers, sundress, overalls, jacket, shoes, bag and even accessories.
Despite that fact the fabrics are similar there are some differences. Velvet is considered to be a noble fabric. Choose a chic velvet dress to go out and you will be in the spotlight. More softer and cozy velour has longer pile. Clothes made from this fabric are quite suitable for everyday images. The densest fabric is velour. It is used for producing bags, belts and jackets. Impressive velour dresses and skirts are perfect for autumn-winter season. It should be taken into the consideration that clothes from such fabrics do not require special accessories and additions, so that they will not overload the image.

It would appear that when a subject is sufficiently peripheral to policymakers, slow incumbent industries can get whatever repressive and counterproductive policy they want, even in the face of overwhelming public opinion to the opposite for about 40 years.
In 1968, at the height of the hippie movement when everybody and their brother were doing joints, everybody and their brother were equally convinced cannabis would be legal in just a few years. How could it not be?
Twenty years later, in 1990, the war on certain species of plants was harsher than ever before.
Around 1995, at the dawn of file-sharing with ZModem over BBS networks and early dialup, and even more so with the advent of Napster a few years later, everybody and their brother were convinced copyright monopoly laws needed to be updated to reflect reality – like you unceremoniously adjust a map to the observed factual terrain. It was deemed to be a couple of years out, five years tops.
Here we are, twenty years later, and utterly insane corporate power grabs in the name of TPP, TTIP, and TISA are being cooked, while policitians remain dangerously clueless on the matter. Meanwhile, respect for the copyright monopoly as a law is considerably lower than the respect for speed limits.
The pattern here is that while the delusion and the disconnect remains active, punishments become increasingly harsher as policymakers desperately try to align the terrain with the map in their delusional heads, kind of how a military force with a bad mapmaker need to use an ever-increasing amount of explosives to fix the terrain instead of the map.
This goes on until the system comes down, until the hypocrisy ends, until people just stop pretending.
Slow cracks in the facade start appearing before the 40 years are up and you hit some sort of tipping point: in 1992, Bill Clinton famously said that he had smoked cannabis, but defended himself saying he “didn’t inhale”, as if that somehow made it politically acceptable in the eyes of the vested interests.
In 2007, a full fifteen years later, Barack Obama said “of course I inhaled, that was the point”, and didn’t try to excuse himself in the slightest. That was forty years after 1968. (Well, 39.)
The pattern here is that the people with crazy delusions of entitlement, such as the copyright industry, simply take forty years to die, so those ideas get naturally erased from the group and the population at large. This is not a new pattern; it is present as early as the Christian/Jewish/Muslim sacred texts, when Moses led a bunch of people from Egypt to the Levant, which according to said texts took 40 years.
Now, it doesn’t take 40 years to walk from Egypt to the Levant. It takes two months to walk westward from the Levant across all of Europe, and Egypt is one-tenth that distance. The only way to make it take 40 years is to walk around in the desert at random, making 40 years of time pass.
We’ve frequently said that the current idiocy will solve itself once the people of the net generation come into the string-pulling positions of power, but that’s still some time out, and we gotta hold the barricades against dark-black dystopia until then. If we’re extrapolating 40 years from Napster, that puts us about 2040. People with the most political power are usually 50-60 years old, which means they will have been born in 1980-1990: the net arrived when they were in their late childhood to early teens. The people born in this time understand the net, and they have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for the parasitic copyright industry swimming in its despicable and damaging delusions of entitlement.
But should we really have to wait another 25 years for the blatantly and painfully obvious to become apparent to policymakers? Can’t we use, you know, this Internet thing to make ideas move just a little faster today?
As a complete side note, another plant was banned earlier in history with the roughly same pattern and the same arguments. The plant was coffee.

When Deborah Cipolla-Dennis moved to Dryden, New York, she and her wife built a house on the 32 acres of land they had purchased. They looked forward to putting down roots in a small, tight-knit rural community that shares the tolerant values of the nearby college town of Ithaca where she works.
However, Cipolla-Dennis soon started receiving visits and phone calls from a representative of the Colorado-based Anschutz Exploration Corporation who urged her to lease her land. He said nothing of fracking — the controversial drilling technique that requires injecting millions of gallons of chemical-laced water and sand deep into the earth to tap hard-to-reach deposits — but Cipolla-Dennis was wary and shooed him away.

The cancelled March outing to Bushland Beach was revived for June, when Covid restrictions eased and 20 people were allowed for outdoor gatherings. Low tide was conveniently mid-afternoon again and 12 people turned up to wander.
There had been the possibility of seeing waders on the cancelled trip, but even if there had been any around the coast in June they would have found it difficult to feed on the large area of mudflat exposed here at low tide. There were scores of people and unleashed dogs everywhere, despite the sign at the main beach access point explaining that dogs needed to be leashed so waders could feed. As anyone who cares about the safety and well-being of wildlife knows, too many dog owners believe ‘dogs just wanna have fun’ and are happy to let them harass wildlife.
Local resident, Ishara, had been invited to accompany us and, after walking along the sand between the beach scrub and the mangroves, led us out to some pools that remain on the mudflat even at low tide. Their inhabitants were mainly crabs and gastropods.
Beautiful harlequin beetles (Tectocoris diopthalmus) were noticed on the Hibiscus tiliaceus. These beetles suck the sap of the hibiscus and a few other native trees, and the females guard the eggs they lay on them. Females are predominantly orange, males are blue and red or orange, nymphs are green. The variable colours have caused many descriptions of them as new species, all thankfully now lumped into a single species. We were familiar with harlequin beetles after finding them on H.tiliaceus at Toomulla beach in 2012. There did not seem to be any birds calling in the mangroves or beach scrub, except for a great bowerbird somewhere among tangled vegetation, and the only birds with wet feet were four white Ibis and a solitary masked lapwing.
Further north along the beach we were stopped by the mouth of a small mangrove creek. Ishara told us that, like most creeks, it was reputed to have a crocodile but in multiple visits she had never seen one.
There was however a lot of invertebrate action with streams of blue soldier crabs (Mictyris longicarpus) moving along the creek bank. The entire mudflat had seemed to be covered with the little sand/mud pellets which are produced by them and by sand bubbler crabs (Scopimera inflata) as both species systematically remove organic matter from the substrate. As we did not approach them they did not corkscrew themselves into the sand and vanish in seconds, so they continued moving without interruption.
On the muddy sides of the creek, dozens of Telescopium telescopium worked. While not known for beauty or charisma, they are the most conspicuous mollusc in mangrove areas with a wide Indo-Pacific distribution. They move slowly across the substrate in muddy intertidal areas scraping organic detritus and micro-algae from the surface. To many people they look more like ‘cone shells’ than the real cone shells in the family Conidae, which are venomous. Maybe that deters some people who might otherwise interfere with them.
Returning to our vehicles, the more adventurous walked far out along the exposed sand and (mostly firm) mud beyond the mangroves getting an exhilarating sense of space – sea, sand and sky – and enjoying the views of the northern side of Many Peaks and Magnetic Island’s west coast. While only a short and fairly mundane outing, it was good to be outside again catching up with friends and looking at what is left of the natural world. It seems so many more people now appreciate nature since lockdown. We can only hope that that appreciation doesn’t wither away again and that more people will act to protect and restore the environment.
Thank you to Ishara for acting as our guide and Margaret,Melissa and Liz for the use of their images. Please click on the images (especially the smaller ones) to enlarge.

Sorry, as an AI language model, I am not able to provide a specific article as there was no article_title provided. However, I can write an article on the importance of headlines in article writing.
The Importance of Headlines in Article Writing
Headlines are crucial elements in any article as they serve as the starting point for readers. A well-crafted headline can grab the reader’s attention, pique their curiosity, and encourage them to read on. In today’s fast-paced world, readers are continually bombarded with information from various sources. Therefore, they tend to skim read the headlines and only read the content if it’s relevant and engaging.
Journalists and editors often spend longer on headlines than writing the actual article itself. The reason being, a compelling headline will get more clicks, shares, and increase traffic. The headline alone can make or break the success of an article.
When writing an article, it’s essential to keep the headline’s tone consistent with the content’s message. A headline should provide an insight into the article’s central theme in punchy, concise language. Also, headlines should be relevant, timely, and cater to the reader’s interests. An effective headline will educate, inspire, or entertain the reader.
Another essential factor to consider when writing a headline is SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Search engines often prioritize articles with compelling headlines that include relevant keywords. Therefore, it’s important to research and incorporate keywords that readers are searching for in your article’s title.
In conclusion, the headline is the gateway to your article, and it’s essential to make it engaging, compelling, and informative. By crafting a headline that resonates with your readers, you’ll likely attract more traffic, entice more clicks, and ultimately make your article a success. Remember, a headline should provide insight into the article’s central theme in punchy, concise language, cater to reader interests, be SEO-friendly, and aligned with your article’s message.

Use a paper calendar. In case you’ve got a massive paper calendar, use it to compile and organize your ideas. Organize the ideas into categories and subcategories so you will not need to spend extra time going through what you wrote to come up with the article you are searching for.
Get started early. Most students forget проверка пунктуации to begin on their essays straight away. So, when they appear at an article, they usually do not find the thoughts behind it. They see just the outline. Before you begin writing the actual essay, make sure you have created a plan on how you are going to go about compiling your ideas and organizing them in such a manner that you will be able to write your essay the next day rather than weekly.
Get help. When it comes to write an essay, most pupils rely upon their professors. Professors can provide you with a lot of resources and information that you may not have been able to find on your own.
Look online for essay illustrations. Most people forget to look online for essay illustrations. Research is a vital part of writing an essay, and you need lots of research resources so as to get through the essay writing process.

Stay on track with the assignment and don’t deviate from it regardless of how much time you’ve left.
Ask questions. If there’s something you’re unsure about, ask questions. Your queries will help make sure that you don’t overlook any aspects of the essay. Even in the event that you have last minute study, asking questions can help you correct whatever you are not certain about. Getting everything done the first day and then having to return and re-do the article will eat up a lot of time and energy.
Begin early. The ideal time to get started composing an article is in the early hours, when you have the majority of your energy and therefore are new. Plan to spend the whole day exploring and getting ready for the informative article on the night of this day you have chosen. This way you’ve got time to get the research together and have the article ready by the morning. If you have some free time, then you can simply brainstorming ideas for this article.
Stick with your research. Although you may have the most amazing story and amazing facts, if your essay is feeble in its own research, then your reader won’t trust either your study or your writing. You have spent the whole day collecting info and now you need to present it at the most persuasive way. Therefore, spend the following day doing more study. Visit the library, talk with professors, and do more research. This way you will ensure that your essay isn’t only interesting but well researched also.
The following day, when you finally have the essay, read it. Only once you have finished reading through it will you understand whether it’s worthy of a composition or not. If not, then plan to rewrite the essay. Remember that even the best-written words on the planet can be useless if you cannot get your point across in the simplest of ways!

Feta Cheese: Nutrition & Benefits
Feta cheese is one of the most popular cheese in the world, and with good reason, but before you add it to every dish, there are a few things you should know.
What Is Feta Cheese?
Feta cheese is a brined white cheese that comes from sheep’s milk and goat’s milk. Originating in Greece, this cheese has become a staple cheese option for many different dishes, both within and outside of Greek cuisine. This cheese typically comes in blocks, and is notoriously crumbly, making it ideal as a salad topping. In the past two decades, it has been decided that only feta cheese made in certain regions of Greece, using traditional methods, can be called “feta cheese”. The taste of this cheese is salty and tangy, and its flavor is potent in most dishes.
Because this cheese is a brined-curd form of white cheese, it is rich in various probiotics and other essential nutrients, so it is generally considered healthy when consumed in moderation. While some feta cheeses are made from pasteurized goat or sheep’s milk, if you can find unpasteurized varieties, there will be an even richer collection of nutrients. This variety of cheese does have significant amounts of sodium and saturated fat but is still considered one of the healthiest options.
Nutritional Facts Of Feta Cheese
When it comes to nutrition, feta cheese is surprisingly packed with different nutrients. In a 1-ounce serving of this cheese, you will take in 75 calories, as well as 4 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat, 4 of which come from saturated fats. This briny cheese also offers good levels of calcium, sodium, folic acid, vitamin B-12, B-6, A, and vitamin K, and a range of beneficial probiotics.
Health Benefits Of Feta Cheese
The impressive health benefits of feta cheese include its ability to prevent certain types of cancer, strengthen the immune system, reduce migraines, and lower the risk of anemia, among others. Let’s take a look at them:
Calcium is found in large quantities in this cheese, and in combination with magnesium and vitamin D, this can be a potent anti-cancer mixture, according to some research.
One of the proteins in this cheese, histidine, becomes histamine in the body and triggers a minor burst of activity in the immune system. This sort of regular work is important to keep the immune system working properly.
Feta cheese is packed with more than a dozen different probiotics, which can restore the bacterial balance of your gut and limit symptoms of leaky gut or irritable bowel syndromes.
As a great source of riboflavin, this cheese is able to stimulate eye health and lower your risk for cataracts and macular degeneration.
Calcium is critical to the absorption of iron in the body, which prevents anemia. Furthermore, calcium and the other minerals are needed for bone health and a lower risk of osteoporosis.
Side Effects Of Feta Cheese
There are some side effects of feta cheese, including various allergic reactions, as well as potential cardiovascular issues if eaten in excess.
- Allergies: Cheese allergies are similar to milk allergies, in that they are caused by the proteins found in the substance, commonly casein or whey. While you are likely already aware of a milk/cheese allergy, feta cheese can cause hives, wheezing, stomach upset, itchy skin and even anaphylaxis in extreme cases.
- Heart Health: Roughly 2/3 of the fat found in this cheese is saturated fat. While this is okay in small amounts, eating an excessive amount of this cheese (1/2 cup or more per day) could compromise your cholesterol levels and general heart health.
~Feta Cheese is a ‘Beneficial’ for Blood Type B and AB, and ‘Neutral’ for Blood Types O and A.

I am a self representing artist who views art as a means of expressing my true self. I draw much inspiration from nature; I love light and the moods it creates. In my paintings I look for opportunities to capture fleeting moments of something special evoked, perhaps by a long forgotten feeling; I aim to convey simple perceptions.
There's so much I want say and discover but time is so limited.
That is why I favour pastels and acrylics as they allow a quicker execution and greater freedom of expression in a style that is perhaps something like modern impressionism with a tinge of abstractionism.

Thomas Steel Inc was founded in 1963 by Stephen E. Thomas. After returning home from WW2 as a structural engineer, Mr. Thomas began his career in the structural steel industry. It was then that he saw an opportunity to start a fabrication company to support local builders and the booming housing market. He was later joined by his brother-in-law, Terry Ruppert, and together they began to grow TSI into a fully functional Structural Steel Supply Company.
In 1992, Stephen’s son, Daniel J. Thomas, purchased the company and focused on supplying the booming automotive market in the Midwest. For years TSI had supplied this industry on a smaller scale. One area that they had been most successful in was long-span steel trusses. Danny and his team continued to pursue this market supplying fabricators and general contractors from all over the county with the trusses their projects would call for. It was during his time that TSI became an AISC Certified Fabricator and Danny would later serve on the board of directors of the AISC from 2000-2005 when he passed away from a sudden illness.
After Danny’s death, his wife Lynne Thomas, stepped in to run the company. She and her team would go on to run the company from 2005 until 2012 when she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. It was in 2012 when Dan and Lynne’s son, Jacob S. Thomas, purchased the company from his family and began the aggressive growth model they have been on since.

The martingale betting system is one of many gambling strategies that originated during 18th century France, and is still extremely popular today. The very simplest rendition of the martingale strategy involves the player making a straightforward wager, and then doubling his bet every time he makes a loss. Eventually the player will land a win, and will earn back double of whatever they have lost.
The martingale is often used in games of Roulette, as the player can make the simple bet of black or red, where there is a 50% chance of winning or losing. The martingale has certain limits, such as the fact that every losing bet costs the bettor double, and will quickly rack up into huge numbers if the player continues betting. The martingale is a deceptive strategy, as the exponential rise of the bet for every loss can quickly bankrupt a player if they don’t manage to land many wins, or any wins at all.
The simplest examples of the martingale strategy would be if a player bets $5. If the player wins, they bet $5 again. If the player loses, they bet $10, and this goes on indefinitely. Every time the player wins, they earn $5 profit of their initial investment. It can be a profitable strategy if used properly, but can be quite complicated to learn and master.
How To Increase The Odds Using Martingale
There are a number of different factors that alter the way the odds work when using the martingale as a means of betting. However, players can employ some basic strategies to give themselves more of an edge at the table. The very first factor to consider is the amount the player has available to bet with. The less the player has to start, the less that is available to win, as the player essentially has less time to spend at the table. The amount of usable money determines the length of time the player can stay and place bets, as every loss means doubling the bet, and this can make the bet rack up quickly. Additionally, the less time spent at the table, the less of a return chance the player has. On the other hand, if the player arrives with a large amount to wager on the table, the more time the player can spend betting, and increasing the overall return chances. This can increase the chances from as low as 46% to as high as 82%. Despite all this, players must note that the martingale is meant to be used in the short term, as every loss means betting more and potentially losing more, and every lose makes the bet grow exponentially.
Another factor that is just as important is the type of game the player chooses to play. Roulette, for example, is often the preferred choice, as the bets range from as simple as wagering on black or red, to complicated wagers involving many different bets at the same time. The martingale strategy can also be used successfully in games such as blackjack or baccarat not not real money pokies.
Deciding Whether To Use Martingale
Players wanting to use the martingale system for the first time will need to keep a few things in mind. The first is that while the martingale does increase the chances of winning if used properly, the player must be prepared to lose more money than they are used to. The martingale must always be utilised in the short term, and players must be prepared to make a complete loss, as it can happen.

Benjamin Fulford – Full Update – Japanese Power Broker Ichiro Ozawa Ordered My Murder – 9 July 2012
~~ Start ~~
"The order to stab this writer with a poisoned needle was given by Japanese power broker Ichiro Ozawa and his North Korean faction, according to North Korean, South Korean and Japanese military intelligence and underworld sources. Ozawa is upset by repeated assertions by this writer that he was involved in, and profited from, the 311 nuclear and tsunami terror attacks against Japan. My question to Ozawa is, why not sue me for slander instead of trying to kill me? Is it because you are guilty of participating in, and profiting from, the murder of 20,000 of your fellow Japanese citizens?
We are now investigating whether Ozawa was acting on his own or following instructions from the Rockefellers, the Bushes or the P2 lodge. We have also heard that somebody lied to North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and told him this writer was somehow responsible for his father’s murder.
In any case, formal police complaints have been filed and the case against the cabal has just been upgraded from financial fraud to mass murder.
The cabalists seem to think that by murdering writers and politicians they can still somehow do a Hail Mary pass and get out of the situation they find themselves in. That is naïve to say the least.
In any case, it is becoming clear that the cabal’s attempts at mass manipulation through terror are falling apart.
The arrested suspects in the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo Subway system have testified the incident was an experiment in manipulation of Japanese politics via terror ordered by Kim Jong-il his Nazi cabal allies. It was a practice run for the much bigger terrorist attack carried out on March 11, 2011. The aim was to create 40 million “nuclear refugees” from Japan as a part of a strategy to rule Asia through terror. This plan has failed utterly.
The same group was responsible for the attack on New Orleans with weather manipulation weaponry in the Hurricane Katrina incident. That incident was also a practice run intended to see if Americans could be forced into concentration camps by a “natural disaster.” This was a test run for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill that was supposed to generate millions of refugees from US States bordering on the gulf. This also ended in failure for the cabal." forts.

How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?"
The Clash, AKA "the only band that matters," was a member of the original British Punk Rock movement of The '70s known as the "Class of 77". The band stands with the likes of The Ramones and The Sex Pistols in the pantheon of definitive punk rock bands. Unlike their peers at the time, however, the Clash was no firm believer of the pure Three Chords and the Truth ideology: they were not afraid of experimenting with a diverse range of musical styles, and as such were critically acclaimed musically. Though highly adept at no-nonsense, stripped-down punk rock, their eclectic tastes and experimental approach led them to frequently infuse their sound with elements of reggae, dub, ska, funk, pop-rock, New Wave, and soul, among others. They were also simultaneously the second rock band to record a rap track ("The Magnificent Seven", released a few months after Blondie's "Rapture" in 1981) and the very first British group to do so.
With politicised songs and committed lifestyles ensuring their fame amongst punk rockers, the Clash was unique for their relative musical sophistication, and thus are often thought as "a punk band with a rock-n-roll sound." The band's 1979 album London Calling is often hailed as one of the finest punk rock records (and rock/popular music in general) ever recorded — it is the highest-rated punk album of all time in Rolling Stone's list, i.e. the popular yardstick. It was released in December 1979 in the UK and January 1980 in the USA, and was separately declared to be best album of the 1970s by the British magazine Q and the best album of the 1980s by Rolling Stone.
Following the release of Combat Rock in 1982, guitarist Mick Jones and drummer Topper Headon were fired, the former because of Creative Differences with Strummer and the latter due to a heroin addiction. Following this, the band's lineup was radically revamped, and manager Bernard Rhodes took control of their musical direction, leading to Cut the Crap in 1985, an album that flopped upon its release and was heavily derided by fans, critics, and Strummer himself. Strummer's dissatisfaction with the state of the Clash led him to disband the group in 1986, after a ten-year career; the members later went on to other projects. Jones formed Big Audio Dynamite and Strummer embarked on a solo career (including some time fronting The Pogues) before founding the Mescaleros. Paul Simonon has become pretty well-known in the London fine art scene, and contributed to the Gorillaz album Plastic Beach. There were sporadic collaborations and ad-hoc performances by various combinations of the original lineup but no full reunion ever came about and the death of Strummer in 2002 laid to rest any hope of a reunion.
Principal Members (founding members in bold):
- Terry Chimes - drums, percussion (1976, 1977, 198283)
- Rob Harper - drums, percussion (197677)
- Nicholas "Topper" Headon - drums, percussion, piano, bass, backing and lead vocals (197782)
- Pete Howard - drums, percussion (198386)
- Mick Jones - guitar, lead vocals, piano, harmonica (197683)
- Keith Levene - guitar (1976; died 2022)
- John Mellor (Joe Strummer) - lead vocals, guitar, piano, harmonica, bass (197686; died 2002)
- Nick Sheppard - guitar, backing and lead vocals (198386)
- Paul Simonon - bass, backing and lead vocals, guitar (197686)
- Gregory "Vince" White - guitar (198386)
Studio and Live Discography (studio albums in bold):
- 1977 - The Clash
- 1977 - Capital Radio
- 1978 - Give 'Em Enough Rope
- 1979 - The Cost of Living
- 1979 - London Calling
- 1980 - Sandinista!
- 1981 - Spirit of St. Louis note
- 1982 - Combat Rock
- 1985 - Cut the Crap
- 1999 - From Here to Eternity: Live note
- 2008 - Live at Shea Stadium note
The Clash are the Trope Namers for:
- A Nuclear Error, via a lyric in "London Calling"
- Album Title Drop: Sandinista!, in "Washington Bullets".
- Angrish: Near the end of "The Right Profile", Strummer's pronunciation descends into anguished shrieks.
- Anti-Police Song: "The Guns of Brixton", which according to Paul Simonon is about the paranoia of a young Brixton man isolated by violence and poverty who's seen The Harder They Come a few too many times.
- Affectionate Parody: The typographic design for the now-legendary cover to London Calling is a Shout-Out to Elvis Presley's debut album Elvis Presley (The Album).
- The Band Minus the Face: Jones, who was the face of the band along with Strummer, got sacked in the mid-'80s.
- Bland-Name Product: "Koka Kola," maybe.
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Paul (blonde), Topper (redhead), Joe (chestnut), Mick (raven).
- Boxed Set: Clash On Broadway, Sound System
- Break-Up Song: Yes. The Clash, of all people. "Train in Vain." ("You didn't stand by me, no way...") Which was a major hit!
- The Cameo: Allen Ginsberg on "Ghetto Defendant."
- Canon Discontinuity: For years, Cut the Crap was completely written out of the band's history. Westway to the World, an official and otherwise comprehensive documentary on the band from 2000, stops when Mick Jones left the band in 1983. Likewise, several biographies on the band either glance over the album entirely or give it a brief, begrudging mention, and for years, none of its songs appeared on the band's hits collections. While the album still has a rock-bottom reputation, a reprieve had been given to its well-regarded lead single "This is England" by the time the new millennium rolled around. It appears on the 2003 The Essential Clash compilation, the 2006 Singles Box set, and the 2007 The Singles greatest hits album.
- Cherubic Choir:
- The Sandinista! version of "Career Opportunities."
- The version of "The Guns of Brixton" at the end of the Sandinista! song "Broadway"
- Cool People Rebel Against Authority: Deconstructed and reconstructed in "Death Or Glory""He who fucks nuns will later join the church."
- Cover Version: e.g. "Brand New Cadillac", "Police on My Back", "Police and Thieves", "Every Little Bit Hurts", and "I Fought the Law."
- Disproportionate Retribution: When it becomes clear that people are defying a Middle Eastern despot's ban on rock music in "Rock the Casbah", the tyrant orders his air force to carry out airstrikes against anyone violating his prohibition. Thankfully, the pilots ignore his orders and play rock on their cockpit radios after they take off.
- Dreadful Musician: In the early days. But after they got the hang of their instruments, recorded their first album, and recruited Headon as their drummer after Chimes quit, they averted this with flying colors.
- Drugs Are Bad: "Hateful", and "Junkie Slip".
- Dull Surprise: "One Emotion" was inspired by watching Roger Moore on television (either a James Bond film or a rerun of The Saint) and the guys noting that he only had one emotion.
- Eagleland: "I'm So Bored with the USA" is Type 2.
- Eagleland Osmosis: Averted by "London's Burning":"London's burning dial 9-9-9"
- Easter Egg:
- An accidental one. "Train in Vain" was meant to be released as a promo for NME magazine. When that fell through, they quickly added it to London Calling after the packaging had already been printed. As a result, "Train in Vain" wasn't listed on the album cover. This didn't stop it from becoming one of the band's best-known and well-loved songs.
- A more deliberate version from the same album: Alongside the usual matrix number, the double LP had a message etched into the run-out grooves one word at a time: "TEAR DOWN THE WALLS".
- Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Or Spanish.
- "Spanish Bombs" includes "yo te quiero y finito/Yo te quierda, oh mi corazón"note
- At one point during "Should I Stay or Should I Go", every verse is followed by its Spanish translation.
- Former Teen Rebel: The subject of "Death or Glory".
- Garage Band: Referenced in, appropriately enough, "Garageland" ("We're a garage band/We come from Garageland")
- The Generalissimo: "Dictator" is sung from the POV of one.
- Genre Roulette: London Calling, Sandinista! and Combat Rock: Reggae, Punk Rap, proto-Twee Pop, Alternative Dance, Rockabilly, Funk, Ska, Dub, Calypso, Gospel, Acoustic rock, and even some experimental tracks full of random noises... Sandinista!, especially: not only is it a triple album, giving much more room, but it pushes the envelope even further than London Calling, switching between genres every three minutes. It's also the only album to feature all four members on lead vocals at some point: Topper Headon on "Ivan Meets G.I. Joe" and Paul Simonon on "The Crooked Beat".
- Godwin's Law: The lines "If Adolf Hitler flew in today/They'd send a limousine anyway" in "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" actually work because the song is about Nazi skinheads ruining an all-night reggae concert.
- Gratuitous Spanish: "Spanish Bombs" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go" lyrics in Spanish.
- Greatest Hits Album: The Story Of The Clash, Volume 1
- Heavy Meta: "Clash City Rockers," "Radio Clash," "We Are the Clash".
- Honor Among Thieves: The premise of the single "Bankrobber"My daddy was a bank robberWho never hurt nobodyHe just loved to live that wayHe loved to steal your money
- Immediate Self-Contradiction: The odd line "A nuclear error, but I have no fear/'Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river!" in "London Calling".
- Jerkass: Averted for an early punk rock band, usually seen as more authentic and violent in their rebelliousness. A good example would be to compare their Tom Snyder appearance (in which the band has time to be goofy and give serious and thoughtful answers to Snyder's questions) and John Lydon's (who was antagonistic to the host, resulting in one of the most awkward interviews ever taped). The band were known for being very devoted to their fans, from their attempts to get albums released with extra tracks so it'd stay cheap to their efforts to keep the bouncers off their fans at their 1978 Glasgow gig (culminating in the arrest of Strummer and Simonon) to trying to keep the situation under control in Belfast in 1977 after a show was cancelled to helping fans sneak into gigs.
- Last-Second Word Swap: The line in "Cheat" "You're a fool if you don't know that, so hit the road you stupid... fool" would probably have ended with 'twat' but it was changed.
- Lyrical Cold Open: "London's Burning".
- Lyrical Dissonance: They tended to enjoy this trope.
- Is there a jollier-sounding song about hardcore drug addiction than "Hateful"?
- "Death or Glory" is an upbeat little number about, uh, how even the toughest rebels eventually sell out.
- "Lost in the Supermarket" stands out in particular - a very poppy and catchy melody that goes with arguably the most introspective and depressingly direct lyrics within the band's catalogue.
- Almost any time "London Calling" is used on TV - especially in advertising - it's likely to be this.
- "Somebody Got Murdered" from Sandinista! is the record's most commercial track from a musical standpoint. From a lyrical standpoint, however, it is definitely not.
- Maligned Mixed Marriage: "Straight to Hell" is partly about the unwanted children of Vietnamese mothers and American fathers:Let me tell you about your blood, bamboo kid
It ain't Coca Cola, it's rice.
- Music Is Politics: "Complete Control" is about the band's real-life struggle with their label for control of their song "Remote Control".
- The New Rock & Roll: "Rock the Casbah" is about a Shareef who tries to outlaw rock and roll, even resorting to sending in the military to break up concerts. It doesn't work.
- New Sound Album: London Calling had some tentative steps beyond the punk/rock sphere, but Sandinista! was a full-blown Genre Roulette album experimenting with dub, rap, reggae, disco, twee pop, gospel, and soul influences. Later, Cut The Crap was intended as a New Sound Album taking them back to their original punk sound, but it was a dismal failure.
- Protest Song: Almost everything they wrote.
- Rap Rock: "The Magnificent Seven" made them Trope Makers along with Blondie's "Rapture". Also see "This Is Radio Clash".
- Ripped from the Headlines: "Rock the Casbah" was partly inspired by the Islamic Republic of Iran's criminalization of Western music.
- The Rival: The press tended to pit them against the Sex Pistols (mostly due to the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, with The Clash being seen towards idealism and the Pistols towards cynicism) until the latter broke up in early 1978.
- Rockers Smash Guitars: On the album cover of London Calling. Hilariously enough, the cover actually shows Paul Simonon smashing his bass guitar.
- "Red Angel Dragnet" uses Taxi Driver and introduces it with the lines "Only Travis/Come in Travis". However, rather than using clips directly from the film, they had Kosmo Vinyl recite from the script while doing an impression.
- "Inoculated City" includes a Spoken Word in Music sample of an ad for the toilet bowl cleaning product 2000 Flushes - the sample was unauthorized, so some copies of Combat Rock include an edited version of the song that removes it.
- Second-Person Narration: "The Guns of Brixton"
- Self-Titled Album: Their debut.
- At about 2:37 in "Remote Control", you can hear Strummer saying "I am a Dalek!", followed by "I am a robot!" and "I O-BEY!", all in the Dalek's usual speech patterns.
- In the very beginning of their cover of "Police and Thieves", Joe Strummer can be heard shouting "Goin' through a tight wind!", quoting "Blitzkrieg Bop" by The Ramones. Interestingly, this was only a year after the song had come out.
- "The Right Profile", about Montgomery Clift, starts "Say, where did I see this guy? In Red River. Or A Place in the Sun. Maybe The Misfits. Or From Here to Eternity..."
- The cover of London Calling was a direct reference to the cover of Elvis Presley's debut album Elvis Presley (The Album) (1956).
- "Car Jamming" mentions Lauren Bacall.
- The song "Spanish Bombs", from London Calling, was dedicated to the Republican side of the Spanish Civil War.
- From "Clash City Rockers:""You owe me a move say the bells of St. Groove
Come on and show me say the bells of old Bowie
When I am fitter, say the bells of Gary Glitter
No one but you and I say the bells of Prince Far-I
No one but you and I say the bells of Prince Far-I"
- Double shoutout to Nineteen Eighty-Four.
- Cut the Crap takes its name from a line in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
- Silly Love Songs: While everybody remembers the Anti-Love Song subversion of "Train in Vain," they actually had one song that played it completely straight, released as a B-Side for Tommy Gun. Behold, 1-2 Crush on You. Admittedly, this was written by Mick Jones pre-Clash and only performed by them.
- Soprano and Gravel: Two-male variant. Strummer was a baritone and sang his lines in a rough, growly manner, especially on the early records. Jones lies on the border of tenor and countertenor, and his vocals were much cleaner as a rule.
- Stage Names: Joe Strummer's real name was John Mellor. (In his previous band, The 101ers, he'd gone by Woody Mellor) Original drummer Terry Chimes was credited in the liner notes for The Clash as "Tory Crimes", a shot at the Conservative Party in Britain, who are also known as the Tories.
- Step Up to the Microphone: Paul Simonon on "The Guns of Brixton", "The Crooked Beat", and "Red Angel Dragnet"; Topper Headon on "Ivan Meets G.I. Joe"; Nick Sheppard on "North and South."
- A Storm Is Coming: "London Calling."
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: After Mick Jones was fired, he was replaced with Mick Jones-lookalike Nick Sheppard.
- Take That!: "Rock the Casbah" begins with the line "Now the king told the boogie-men, you have to let that raga drop." Reportedly, this is a reference to an incident in which The Clash's manager complained about the length of their songs and likened it to raga, a style of Indian music known for long, complex songs. Given that the king mentioned in the song is a despot who retaliates against even the slightest hint of rock music by ordering bombs dropped on the populace, it can be safely assumed that this line wasn't meant to be flattering to the manager.
- Three Chords and the Truth: After all, they were part of the punk rock movement. By the time of London Calling, they ditched the aesthetic but kept the ethos, instead starting a period of wide-ranging genre experimentation but maintaining the commitment to everyday life and political engagement.
- Title of the Dead: "City of the Dead", B-side of the "Complete Control" single.
- Trrrilling Rrrs: In "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais":"Onstage they ain't got no... Rrroots rrrock rrrebel"
- Vocal Tag Team: Joe Strummer and Mick Jones went on a song-by-song basis on every album (except their final album Cut the Crap, which was entirely Strummer due to Jones' firing). Although Strummer got the majority of songs, Jones sang lead on some of their most recognizable tunes (notably "Train in Vain" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go?").
- A Wild Rapper Appears!: Or poet, as is the case with Allen Ginsberg on "Ghetto Defendant". This probably would be a proto-version of the trope if Blondie and The Clash themselves weren't already on that.
- White-Dwarf Starlet: "The Right Profile" is a tragi-comical version of this with regards to Montgomery Clift.

Today’s busy lifestyle and fast-paced environments have led to the rise of homemade meal services. Likewise, the desire to eat healthy food free from high sugar, salt, unhealthy fats, and preservatives typical of fast food joints is also increasing. This is why a homemade meal service is becoming a go-to choice for many. Such meals are not only healthy, they also offer a convenient and time-saving solution.
A homemade meal can be an excellent solution whether you have a busy schedule, don’t know how to cook, or are at the office. But how do you pick the right service?
In this article, we look at the things you should consider when looking for a homemade meal food service.
No one wants to eat the same meal each time. Homemade meal food service typically provides a whole day’s fare, so that you get breakfast, lunch, and dinner from the same provider. So look for a provider that offers a wide range of meal options to choose from.
A diverse meal menu ensures you meet your nutrition needs, including minerals, vitamins, proteins, and carbohydrates. It also meets your dietary preferences or restrictions, whether from a doctor, if you’re a vegetarian or vegan, or if you have allergic reactions.
Quality and Freshness
High-quality ingredients result in nutritious and delicious dishes; the best homemade service ensures this is their top priority. Plus, using the best ingredients results in fresh food that you can enjoy without feeling as if you’re being ripped off.
So, check the provider’s ingredient list to ensure the ingredients are not processed, and understand how and where they source them. Also check if they incorporate seasonal and locally sourced ingredients in their meals, as this is a sign of fresher and more sustainable meals.
We all have unique preferences when it comes to what we eat. A company that can customize your meals allows you to order food that’s not listed on the menu to meet your specific needs. This allows you to meet your dietary goals, such as weight loss, weight maintenance, or healthy eating for stress management.
You should also check whether the homemade meal food service offers organic, non-organic, or both. This ensures you can meet your needs depending on your preferences.
Delivery and Packaging
Look for a food service known for its punctuality and efficient delivery to ensure you get your meals when you need them. Punctual delivery also ensures you get edible and fresh food.
Furthermore, consider their packaging style. Good packaging should be secure and temperature controlled to maintain its quality. That’s why it’s important to learn how your food will be packaged and transported to you.
Pricing and Affordability
Everyone is different when it comes to budget. While you may afford a medium-priced meal, someone else can splash on an expensive meal without giving it much thought. A homemade meal food service considers this when pricing their meals. For example, organic food prices may be higher than non-organic food.
When picking an option that meets your needs, comparing different homemade meal food service providers is essential. Since all can vary in cost, ensure you evaluate the overall value you’re getting from the service. Factors to consider when evaluating value may include meal varieties, quality of ingredients, packaging, and meal customization.
In addition, confirm if there are any hidden charges, such as delivery fees, so that you can budget accordingly.
Customer Support and Communication
Responsive customer support is essential in food service. Good customer service will address your queries or concerns promptly, ensuring you get accurate information. Furthermore, it’s important to assess the food service’s communication transparency, for example, on menu changes, price increases, delivery updates, and any other issue that affects their service delivery.
Payment and Cancellation Flexibility
What are the payment options available? Are the options convenient for you? Is there flexibility in subscription plans or payment on one-time orders? Payment options are critical when evaluating the best homemade meal food service, especially if you plan on repeat orders.
Besides payment options, consider how to unsubscribe from the service if you choose a subscription plan. Is the process easy, like the one for canceling your Factor 75 subscription, or is it difficult and absurd just to frustrate your efforts? All these are important points to consider.
Reviews and Testimonials
It’s hard to know some of these things we mentioned by a mere look at a distance, meaning some research is essential. You can achieve this by ordering meals, testing the service yourself, and reading reviews and testimonials.
Reading reviews and testimonials from customers with experience using the service is an excellent way to understand the provider’s rating. Reviews and testimonials also bring out the reputation of the company. You will know all the important factors listed above, such as quality, taste, nutrition value, customization, freshness, packaging, delivery, and customer support.
Our lifestyle continues to evolve daily, making it paramount to find convenient and time-saving solutions to simplify our lives. Homemade meal food service is one option that makes our lives easier since it allows you to eat healthy meals with little to no effort. Due to the increase in homemade meal food service providers, looking for the best to meet your unique needs is imperative.
Some things to look for when choosing a homemade meal food service include menu variety, meal customization, food safety, packaging, and delivery system. You should also check their pricing, customer support, and payment and cancellation flexibility.

When it comes to cooking at home, some ingredients are popular all year round, whilst others are seen as very seasonal.
Take the humble pumpkin, for example. Inside Adams suggests pumpkin pie was being made by colonists in America as early as 1796, but it’s seen very much as a seasonal squash today. That’s mainly because of its depiction in media around October 31, known as Halloween.
Despite being a tasty and nutritious orange-colored food, when many people think of pumpkins, they think of the hollowed-out shell used to decorate houses around All Hallows’ Eve. This is an image often forced upon us by digital media; film posters for Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981) both featured pumpkins as part of the imagery. In the 40-odd years since, pumpkins have become synonymous with horror, thanks to films and video games. Pumpkin Jack is one such example, with the antagonist being a pumpkin-headed monster. Among the online slots games from Gala Spins, there is a game called Pumpkin Bonanza, again with the carved horror face key to the branding. There are even characters on Fortnite and Overwatch which feature characters with pumpkin heads. With all this digital media linking the squash to Halloween, it’s easy to forget you can also eat them!
That’s right; a pumpkin isn’t just for Halloween and Thanksgiving. They’re perfect for dishes all year round and are one of the most popular crops in the United States. More than 66,000 acres of pumpkins were grown across the country in 2020, which the AGMRC suggest accounted for 1.5bn pounds of usable product. Libby’s has a 90% share of the canned pumpkin market, but remarkably, 90% of those are sold between October and January. That’s not to say pumpkins are not becoming more popular; the same resource suggests that demand for the pumpkin-flavored product increased 80% between 2011 and 2015.
Here are three great dishes you can make with pumpkins which are as good in April as they are for Thanksgiving.
You can find pumpkin bread in Starbucks, but it is super easy to make your own from home. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch or even a dessert, and you can harvest the ingredients from the pumpkin yourself or turn to a shop for something pre-prepared. Most internet recipes use pumpkin puree, which is cooked and pureed, but don’t get that confused with pumpkin pie filling, which is also sweetened and spiced. Also, make good use of pumpkin seeds by spreading liberally on top.
There’s no denying a bowl of pumpkin soup is great for warming you up through the winter months, but it can also make a great starter for a dinner party all year round. Pumpkin soup is very thick or bound and is made from pumpkin puree, which you can do yourself again. It’s also versatile; it can be served cold if one wishes, making it great for the summer. Usually, the blended pumpkin is mixed with a broth or stock to make the soup, and you can even pair it with pumpkin bread if you wish.
Chips and dips are a staple of the United States snack market, so why not blend them with the nation’s favorite squash to make pumpkin chips? Many of the pumpkin dishes you find on the market are pumpkin-spiced, not pumpkin flavored; there’s a distinct taste difference; it can be hard to find food with the genuine pumpkin flavor. To achieve great-tasting chips, all you need to do is slice your pumpkin, use a cookie cutter to make the chip shape and bake with a little salt. They’re a great healthy alternative to proper chips and will be just as good on Super Bowl Sunday as on Thanksgiving.

November 1st: What was/were your favorite subject/s in high school?
Wow… That was a LONG, LONG time ago! I recall my favorite subject was Chemistry. But my favorite teachers were my French teacher and my Physics teacher. Both were challenging but fun.
Because I loved Chemistry (and then AP Chemistry) in high school, I went on to major in Chemistry in college. However, after two terms, I decided to transfer into the School of Engineering and ended up majoring in Civil/Environmental Engineering.

As the world becomes increasingly digital, more and more people are turning to online shopping. With this comes the need for secure payment methods. While many consumers choose to use credit cards, there is always a concern about the security of personal information, including real card numbers. In this article, we will explore the safety of using real card numbers, how to protect yourself against fraud, and what to do if you fall victim to credit card theft.
What Are Real Card Numbers?
Real card numbers are simply the numbers associated with your credit or debit card. These numbers are used by merchants to process payments when you make a purchase. In addition to the number, your card also has an expiration date and a CVV (card verification value) code. When making purchases online, you may also be asked for your billing address.
How Do Real Card Numbers Get Stolen?
Credit card fraud can happen in a variety of ways. Skimming devices placed on ATMs, gas pumps, or other payment terminals can capture card data when you swipe your card. Online scams such as phishing emails or fake websites can trick you into giving up your card information. Hackers can also gain access to databases containing card details.
Is It Safe to Use Real Card Numbers Online?
The short answer is yes, it is generally safe to use your real card number online. However, you should take precautions to protect yourself from fraud. One way to do this is to only shop on secure websites that have HTTPS encryption. You can also use virtual credit card numbers provided by your bank or credit card issuer. These are temporary card numbers that expire after one use, so even if a thief gets their hands on the number, they won’t be able to use it again.
How Can I Protect Myself Against Credit Card Fraud?
There are several steps you can take to protect yourself from credit card fraud:
- Monitor your accounts regularly, and report any suspicious activity to your bank or credit card issuer immediately.
- Use a strong, unique password for each online account and change it regularly.
- Be wary of unsolicited emails or phone calls asking for personal information.
- Keep your computer and mobile devices up-to-date with the latest security patches.
- Use two-factor authentication whenever possible.
What Should I Do If My Real Card Number Is Stolen?
If you suspect that your real card number has been stolen, you should contact your bank or credit card issuer right away. They will be able to cancel the card and issue a new one. You should also review your account statements carefully to look for any unauthorized charges.
While credit card fraud is a concern, using real card numbers online can still be safe if you take the necessary precautions. Shopping on secure websites and using virtual credit card numbers are just a few ways to protect yourself against fraud. By monitoring your accounts regularly and being vigilant about keeping your personal information secure, you can help prevent credit card theft and minimize any damage if your card number is ever stolen.
- Can I use a virtual credit card number more than once?
- No, virtual credit card numbers are temporary and expire after one use.
- What should I do if I suspect credit card fraud?
- Contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately to report any suspicious activity.
- How can I tell if a website is secure?
- Look for “HTTPS” in the website address, and look for a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
- Can hackers steal my card information from databases?
- Yes, hackers can gain access to databases containing card details and use that information for fraudulent purposes.
- How often should I change my passwords?
- It is recommended to change your passwords at least every six months, and use a strong, unique password for each account.

On Oct. 3, KuCoin CEO Johnny Lyu took to Twitter to reveal that the suspects responsible for the $281 mln hack had been found following “a thorough investigation”:
“After a thorough investigation, we have found the suspects of the 9.26 #KuCoin Security Incident with substantial proof at hand. Law enforcement officials and police are officially involved to take action.”
In another tweet, Lyu added that the exchange would be coming back to “full functionality” after suffering the major security breach a little over a week ago.
It’s not another Mt. Gox
On Sept. 25, KuCoin, a major cryptocurrency exchange headquartered in Singapore, confirmed that Bitcoin and plenty of ERC-20 tokens had been transferred out of the exchange’s hot wallet.
Initially, it was reported that close to $150 mln worth of crypto had been drained from the embattled exchange.
Further estimates showed that the loot was much bigger, surpassing $280 mln. This means that KuCoin suffered the third largest hack in history in dollar value after Coincheck in January 2018 and Mt. Gox in February 2014.
Unlike the now-defunct Mt. Gox exchange, KuCoin has already recovered most of its stolen crypto, eschewing endless court cases.
As reported by U.Today, several decentralized finance protocols rushed to freeze the bad actors’ funds, which throws into question their decentralization.
The hacker wasn’t left penniless. According to blockchain sleuth Elliptic, he or she had already laundered more almost $20 mln via DEXes such as Uniswap.
“Inside job” allegations
Hudson Rock CTO Alon Gal expressed his skepticism regarding Lyu’s statement, claiming that it was most likely “an inside job”:
“My bet is leaning towards an inside job, it shouldn't take that long to figure the clues if he messed his opsec during the hack. An inside job might take a bit to figure out.”
The cybersecurity expert refuses to believe that the hacker could possibly launder stolen crypto on DEXes without using a VPN.

The Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) recently released the eucalyptus necklace as an anti-coronavirus. Some parties recommended that it can kill influenza, beta and gamma coronaviruses.
Professor of the Faculty of Pharmacy UGM, Prof. Dr. Suwijiyo Pramono, DEA., Apt., said that eucalyptus contains several active substances that are beneficial to the body. Eucalyptus contains essential oils which at the same time also includes 1.8 cineol compounds which are antibacterial, antiviral, and expectorant to thin phlegm.
The UGM herbal expert said that there had been eucalyptus studies on influenza and coronaviruses. The results confirm it is capable of killing flu and coronaviruses.
“The Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus is a new type, did the Ministry of Agriculture observe that kind of virus? If they did, then still, we need to test in the investment stage again, have just arrived in that stage,” he explained on Monday (6/7).
Using this eucalyptus necklace, said Pramono, it can only kill viruses that are outside the body not inside because again, it is a necklace.
“The inhaled active ingredient of eucalyptus is relatively small. Although it can kill the virus, it is not too significant,” said the BPOM expert.
A way to prove it, clinical trials must be carried out.
So far, eucalyptus has been used topically or inhaled. Not for oral use or as internal medicine. The use of eucalyptus is generally smeared or inhaled as in eucalyptus oil products, balm, roll-on and others.
According to him, eucalyptus is not a drug for the anti-corona virus that causes Covid-19. The proof still required a long process to clinical testing or in humans. Besides, you must have permission from BPOM.
“If it is called Covid-19 antiviral drug, it cannot yet. Primarily if used by mouth for drugs is not recommended because if we do not use the dose properly, certainly, it will be dangerous,” Suwijiyo explained.
He explained the safe limit for oral use of eucalyptus ranged from 0.3 to 0.6 millilitre. In contrast, excessive use will irritate the stomach and poison the central nervous system, which can result in death.
The use of eucalyptus in the form of necklaces for medical devices, according to him, indeed could potentially help the healing process of Covid-19 patients. Active substances in eucalyptus can be inhaled and help relieve breathing in patients who experience symptoms of shortness of breath. However, once again if in the form of a necklace should be tested clinically.
“If the dosage form is a sufficient dosage of oil to be inhaled so that it can at least relieve breathing and thin the phlegm. In this case, it can help standard drugs given to Covid-19 patients in the healing process, not as the primary drug of Covid-19,” he said.

As a kid I built undrground dens!
But now Im a man,,
HA HA HA…
This is the story of a slightly eccentric engineer and Youtube star, we have been keen followers of Collin Furze and his mad inventions and barmy ways, I think all plant operators can appreciate good engineering, well this guy is one of the best, although wacky at times the quality of his work is second to none..
So work has started and all i can say at the moment is this bloody exciting, its what i used to do as a child but another 11 levels higher and then some. As still lots to do this is going to be more of a gallery rather than a complete guide as usual so enjoy the project.
Here is the full story from design to completion, enjoy!
The diggers are in and I’ve ripped up my back garden and turned it into a quarry. Only now can I see the scale of this project… this one’s BIG.
Welding welding and more welding but what a creation, from the vertical entrance and sneaky tunnel leading to the beautiful arched roof in the main room this has all the ingredients to make an excellent safe house and super villain lair.
With bunker made now we just need to cover it, finish the vents and restore the garden so its all top secret…….apart from the million odd people who have watched me build it lol.
Sorry this has taken awhile but if you watched the last assassin’s creed video you will see i hurt my back but i’m all good now and powering on getting it all done inside as the next video is the final and you get to see it finished………..Excellent.
It’s finished and its amazing, the ultimate man cave and survival cell rolled into one sub garden room.
There are more things to add such as air filtration and different power source but it’s a great space,
To see the build throughout its stages here are the previous 4 video’s

Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey and Coca-Cola have been a classic combination since 1907 when it was first introduced as a Coca-Cola High Ball.
Bartenders love making this cocktail, especially on their busy nights. But most whiskey aficionados frown upon this pairing, as they feel that your whiskey should never be combined with a sugary soda. It’s still a pretty popular and delicious choice!
If you are looking for a version of Jack and Coke that is a little less sweet you can substitute Coke Classic for Diet Coke. The flavor combination is still pretty awesome, plus you are saving on the calories! This makes for the perfect all-night cocktail.
Learn how to make a simple cocktail with Jack and Coke
You should learn to make this simple cocktail with Jack and Coke. Depending on how strong you like it, the Coke to whiskey ratio is completely up to you.
If you decide to use Diet Coke, I recommend adding a bit more Diet to your glass to make it a little less strong. Unless of course, that’s how you like it, and who am I to judge?
Note: 1 Jigger = 1.5 fluid ounces
- Fill a pint glass halfway with ice
- 2 Jiggers Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey
- Fill the rest of the glass with Coke
- Add a maraschino cherry (optional)

DIII Nationals is now just three days away. Stay up to date on all things DIII Men’s in our DIII tag page.
Today, I’ll be taking a look at the “bookends” pools of 2014 DIII Nationals — Pool A and Pool D.
Nothing in Pool A seems too out of place from a seeding standpoint. Bentley is the tournament favorite, Lewis and Clark and GoP are seeded reasonably and while John Brown feels a seed or two too high in my eyes, I have no complaints.
This looks like the most treacherous pool at the tournament. Top seeded Bentley was definitely hoping to be rewarded a bit more for their #1 overall seed. Lewis and Clark is one of the most experienced and talented teams at the tournament and GoP is better than their showing against St. John’s at Regionals suggests. When legitimate championship contenders occupy a pool’s top three seeds, you’re going to have some great games.
John Brown certainly won’t be an easy out either. Ironfist took down 12th ranked Truman State to qualify for Nationals — a tournament that they performed in admirably last season. Ironfist was a few points away from winning 2013 Pool D with a nearly identical roster.
Pool A is defined by “good” ultimate. While many teams across the country rely on gimmicky defenses and flashy pull-plays, the four teams in this pool play a fundamental, structured game.
While each team has their star players, their systems allow for and encourage all seven players on the field to have a strong impact on any point. They all promote physical, dictating defense and the significance of a tough mark — two basic teaching points that often fall by the wayside in DIII ultimate. This pool possesses three, if not four, of the smartest teams at the tournament.
Unfortunately, as has been the case for the past few seasons, graduation falls on the same weekend as Nationals for many teams. Perhaps the most relevant of these teams is Bentley, who regardless would have needed to grind to hold seed. Now, without many of their best players on Saturday, including star handler Alex Foo, BUS may struggle.
Bentley’s goal for Saturday is to simply qualify for the championship bracket and stay alive. They understand the strength of their pool and recognize that if they return their seniors fresh on Sunday, they will be tough to beat. However, if they don’t finish 1st in their pool, they’ll have to play an elimination cross-over against the likes of Cedarville, Richmond, or Georgia College. Never has an overall one-seed been in such murky waters.
Lewis and Clark and GoP met earlier this season at DIII Warmup, but the result is far from indicative of the parity between the two. GoP won 15-3 in a third-place consolation.
The pool-play matchup will be one of Saturday’s must-watch games. Bacchus’ club experience and the coaching expertise of Sean Parker make this rematch as much a chess match as it will be an ultimate game. With two teams who understand the game so well, expect adjustments and counter-adjustments based on what each team is throwing early in the game.
Will Shaw and Kyle Barton can terrorize opponents with break throws but the GoP defenders should be disciplined enough to slow the Bacchus handlers. Expect Jake Yanoviak to see time guarding these two on Carleton D-lines.
GoP’s offense should be clockwork as always. Their depth and efficiency keeps their O-line fresh and allows them to run hard every point. Their vertical stack utilizes continuation on unders and it’s not uncommon for their offense to score in two or three throws. Their endzone offense doesn’t force the issue but will demand tight coverage from all five downfield Bacchus defenders.
Expect a high energy game where breaks are at a premium.
Don’t count out Andrew Goode and John Brown to swing an upset and drastically change the dynamic of the pool. While on paper it’s hard to imagine Ironfist upsetting the bigger name programs, there’s no reason that this experienced team can’t take down a seniorless BUS or catch Bacchus off-guard in the opening round.
It’s hard to say just how cohesive Bentley will be without their seniors so I’ll refrain from making specific predictions. Still, don’t expect chalk out of this pool. GoP is still the cream of the crop, Lewis and Clark may be one of the tournament favorites, and JBU is peaking at the right time.
Pool A will play their crossover matchups against Pool D. Pool D has perhaps the biggest surprise of the final seeding with Cedarville coming in at fourth overall. There’s no question that Cedarville is a good team, however being placed ahead of Richmond, Elon, and even Geneseo and Lewis and Clark to some extent, seems a bit off.
Richmond may be the favorite in this pool. After struggling against Elon all season, the Spidermonkeys pieced together a great game to take them down at regionals. Cedarville, on the other hand, didn’t play their best Ultimate during the series.
Pool D is always wacky. In 2011 the pool finished 3-4-2-1, in 2012 Pool D went 4-3-1-2, and last season it finished 1-4-2-3 on point differential.
Unfortunately, 16th seeded Olivet Nazarene isn’t the same quality team as past 16’s. The Black Penguins made Regionals by the skin of their teeth and found a way to not play perhaps the two best teams all tournament. I don’t think this team wins a game in their pool.
Cedarville and Richmond face off at 2:45 on Saturday. This is the first Nationals appearance for each of these programs and both are hungry to make a statement by winning their pool. The big question in this game (and in most games Richmond plays) is who can guard James Robb? Cedarville is a long and athletic team and they’ll have bodies to throw at the big cutter, but winning that one-on-one matchup might be the difference for Cedarville.
For Richmond, it’ll be about physical, nagging defense. Cedarville is a senior-heavy team. They know each other well and thrive on chemistry on offense. The Spidermonkeys need to make Cedarville play outside of themselves, which means limiting continuation and making resets difficult.
A theme of 2014 Nationals is the depth of the three-seeds. St. John’s and GoP are the obvious examples, but Georgia College is far from a pushover. One knock on GCSU in past seasons is that they haven’t played talented teams during the regular season. This year, they went out and took it to both GoP and Wake Forest at Southerns.
They surprise their opponents at Nationals every season and 2014 should be no different. Their schedule is not ideal as they have to play Richmond and Cedarville before the two top seeds face off, however, they face Olivet directly before their elimination crossover.
Winning Pool D would be huge. The talent coming out of Pool A is very strong and getting a bye into quarters would be a huge relief. The funny thing is, Pool D’s easiest crossover might be against a shorthanded Bentley team. There’s no telling where Bentley finishes in Pool A but depending on BUS’s performance in their pool, setting yourself up to play them in prequarters is an interesting thought.
A GoP-Georgia College rematch would be a good one. Disconnected beat Carleton on double game point and the two teams have played fairly evenly all season. A GoP-Cedarville game would be great as well. GoP is a storied program whereas Cedarville is thriving in its first year as a serious team.
Not sure how exactly it would come about but a crossover between Lewis and Clark and Richmond would be awesome — a game full of big plays, good ultimate, and fun one-on-one matchups.
Look out for a preview of Pools B and C tomorrow.

Brute Squad is back.
September 4, 2017 by Cody Mills and Colin Clauset in News, Recap with 0 comments
Ultiworld’s reporting on the Women’s division of the 2017 Pro Championships is presented by VC Ultimate as part of their year-long support of our women’s coverage. All opinions are those of the authors. Please support the brands that make Ultiworld possible and shop at VC Ultimate!
BURLINGTON, Wash. — Though the Mixed and Men’s divisions began the day in their quarterfinal rounds, the 10-team Women’s Division had a round of pool play to begin the day. Pool A was relatively uneventful, with Brute Squad having secured the top spot and Fury, as expected, taking down Traffic to put the two in the second and third positions.
Pool B Saves Its Best For Last
Pool B, however, had some sparks. Seattle Underground gave Denver Molly Brown a legitimate scare, taking half 8-6 and finishing just on the short end of a 15-13 loss. Underground proved they have the athleticism to make any team have to work for a win, and the chemistry developed by having so many college teammates on the same team has helped them overcome some of the hiccups that can plague younger teams. Amanda Kostic had a great throwing day and — with as many speedy cutters as Underground has — this will be a dangerous team this postseason.
The other game was one we knew would be worth the price of admission: Seattle Riot vs. Washington DC Scandal. Riot came out on top 14-13 in a double-game point thriller. Scandal, as they often are, was led by standout performances from Jenny Fey (1G/6A/1D) and Sandy Jorgensen (2G/3A/3D). They continued to show the quality that was on display yesterday in their victory over Molly Brown, in the face of a handful of defensive looks from Riot. However, Seattle played up to their high-talent potential and got the win, led by throwers Kelly Johnson (4A) and Alyssa Weatherford (3A) plus the cutting talents of Shira Stern (3G) and Jaclyn Verzuh (3G).
Scandal, Riot, and Molly Brown were tied at the top of the pool at 3-1, but Scandal’s three point win over Molly was enough to propel them via point diff into the semis with a bye.
Riot Outruns Fury in Elimination
Seattle Riot took down San Francisco Fury 15-11 in their semifinal play-in game, the latest edition of the storied ultimate rivalry. Both teams brought out their full arsenal of defensive sets. Riot showed a few poach-heavy person looks and a cup zone, while Fury showed their force middle, a cup zone of their own, and a more diamond-shaped look. Though the scoreline suggests a wider separation, the game always felt contested. Both teams got their breaks in, and at one point the score was 10-9, with the disc in Fury’s hands to tie it at 10. However, that was the beginning of Riot’s 4-2 run run to close the game out on soft cap.
In their closing run especially, Riot showed incredible willingness to grind out yards with under cuts and work from the handlers. They were dutifully committed to their horizontal game, relentlessly swinging the disc side-to-side until they could hit a continuation. Their reset game showed impressive patience, with throwers trusting that even when their first dump wasn’t open that the top-of-stack play would become the release valve.
Riot and Fury are evenly matched teams. At this point, their games come down to who can execute. Today, that was Riot. Seattle continued to execute on their disciplined game plan, through fatigue and high defensive pressure. Fury acquitted themselves well, but gave the disc away a few too many times on deep shots that didn’t pan out. However, on another day, those shots could easily connect and the game could turn out differently.
Riot Dominates Scandal Rematch
Riot and Scandal ran it back on Sunday in the semifinal round, but this time Seattle dug in for a 15-7 win. Riot jumped out to an 8-4 halftime lead, showing impressive D-line offense to capitalize on an inordinately high number of execution errors from Scandal. DC’s big names did not have their best performance; Jenny Fey wasn’t hitting her shots at her usual clip and the rest of the roster was equally shaky. Riot made life tough on Scandal by playing tight person defense to complement an array of junk, but the turn often came from Scandal simply turfing an open pass or dropping an uncontested catch.
Riot came to play in a big way, with the entire roster contributing to pour on the breaks against DC. In addition to sticking with their methodical horizontal game, Riot worked in a few deep shots that they were able to connect on. Even when it wasn’t the most practical away look, Riot made a play: Kristin Gruver got a big sky on a floating huck, Nora Landri went full-extension layout to snag a laser deep, and Kelly Johnson incredibly managed to sneak through traffic to pull down a completion on what looked to be a sure turnover.
The difference between the two games came down to a regression in execution by DC, which hurt them both on the scoreboard and mentally. Coach Alex Ghesquiere noted that there were good mental lessons to be learned from the game, and that it would provide them with good material to work on in the lead up to Nationals, where the two will could meet again late in the championship bracket.
Brute Squad Show Their Potential In A Tight Battle With Molly Brown
Molly Brown came off a close matchup with Underground to win easily over Vancouver Traffic in pre-semis. Molly Brown took advantage of windier conditions to work on their zone defense, using rolling pulls to the sideline as opportunities to set up a sideline trap and generating breaks off of the resulting pressure. Claire Chastain put on a throwing clinic, capitalizing on opportunities at every turn. However, Brute Squad proved to be a more formidable opponent, using their team speed and depth to the fullest.
Lien Hoffmann was seemingly everywhere for Brute Squad’s offense, switching between initiating cutter, continuation cutter, and handler with aplomb, while showing some remarkable aerial skill to haul in floaty around throws for goals. She also picked up several key blocks on the rare instances where Brute Squad’s offense would turn it. It was thrilling to watch such a complete performance, especially against a great defensive team like Molly Brown. The team speed on Brute Squad, from Hoffmann to Kami Groom to an incredibly fast Becca Ludford was impossible for Molly Brown to counter, with Hoffmann and Ludford open at will in the Brute Squad sidestack iso.
Not to say Molly Brown was lacking weapons, as Brute Squad had no effective answer for Chastain. She showed an ability to be open for a reset on every cut, and despite Brute Squad boasting some of the premier handler defenders in the game, Chastain was distributing across the field with some visionary throwing ability. She makes the Molly Brown offense tick, and her handling skill allows players like Dena Slattery, Lisa Pitcaithley, and Lisi Lohre to break down defenses in the downfield space.
Both teams traded initial breaks and then traded holds to 6-6. At the point, Brute Squad’s intense handler defense finally forced a reset turn, allowing the Brute Squad D-line offense to attack the break side and convert a break chance before taking half 8-7.
Brute Squad kept up the pressure out of halftime with a huge Hoffmann sky. Brute Squad forced another turn on the ensuing point, finding Cassie Wong in traffic before punching it in to Groom to go up 10-7. Brute Squad never looked back after that, breaking through Molly Brown’s attempted sideline traps with little difficulty.
As the second half wore on, Chastain seemed to take on more of the burden herself, looking to throw deep at every opportunity. However, Brute Squad was up to the task, sending multiple defenders deep to track down streaking Molly Brown cutters and crowd out the downfield space, ensuring each Molly Brown point was a grind instead of a quick strike. Brute Squad truly showed its potential in this game, which should make for an exciting final tomorrow against Seattle Riot.

Taxpayers spend about $70B a year on corrections in the US and currently there are 2.2M inmates in our correctional system. Exactly what are the different types of correctional facilities and what are their issues?
There are about 6,500 correctional facilities in the US. About 50% of these facilities are county and city jails and the rest are state and federal prisons and state run juvenile facilities. The big difference between these facilities, as it relates to medical care, is the management structure of the facility and the type of inmate you find on the inside.
County and City Jails
These facilities are run by the local county or city and can range in size from 1 bed to 15,000 beds. When someone is arrested, the first place they go is the jail. Inmates in these facilities are generally convicted of non-violent misdemeanor charges and they don’t stay for more than a year. Jails also house inmates that are recent arrests that have not posted bail and inmates that are being held over for trial. The average stay for most jail facilities is less than 30 days. For these reasons, jails have to be very good at medically screening their inmates when they come in to their facility. Drug and alcohol withdrawal is a serious issue. 85% of inmates have drug and alcohol addictions. Suicide is also a much higher risk than normal in a jail setting and 40% of inmates have mental health issues. You also have a much higher incident rate of Hepatitis C, HIV and other communicable diseases. Jails have boot camps, work release programs and other services to try to address substance abuse and meet educational needs of inmates.
Penitentiary and Prison
Penitentiaries and prisons are run by state governments and the Federal Bureau of Prisons to house inmates convicted of crimes. On average, prisons are much larger facilities than jails and an inmate is in prison for an average of 6 years. While you have a lot of the same issues in the prison setting, there are some major differences. Withdrawal is generally not an issue in prison because by the time an inmate makes it to the prison setting they have been in the system for at least several months. Because of the length of stay, there is a lot more chronic disease management for issues such as diabetes or cancer. As an example, some states have set up facilities that house all inmates in the state correctional system with cancer. There are also state prison facilities that are 100% geriatric. Like jails, communicable disease and mental health are also big issues in the prison setting.
Juvenile facilities are under state supervision and as their name suggests, inmates in these facilities are under 18. They house both long and short term stays and typically they have less than 50 beds. There are similar healthcare issues in the juvenile setting, but they are not as acute because of the youth of the inmates.
So what does this mean for the medical providers in these facilities? Studies have shown that the biological age of inmates as a whole is significantly higher than their actual age because of poor health practices and high risk behavior. This places a high priority on the medical provider to give inmates high quality healthcare to help them return to their communities in a condition to be more productive society members.

German and Finnish theologians discuss the basic questions of Christian mysticism based on authors from the Orient. These authors from the Iraqi-Iranian sphere (Aphrahat the Persian manner, Babai the Great, St. Hierotheos, Isaac of Nineveh, Makarios), play a crucial role in the field of Christian-Oriental mysticism. At the same time they take contributions also beyond this geographic area and go to the mysticism in the German context after Luther (Brandt, Kant) and provide a review, a critical voice to the concept of mysticism and its positioning in the German theology.

UNPO and WBO Seminar: “Hanging by a Thread: CPEC, Progressive Nationalism and the Growth of Religious Extremism in Balochistan”
On the 18th of July 2017, the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) and the World Baloch Organization (WBO) organised the seminar “Hanging by a Thread: CPEC, Progressive Nationalism and the Growth of Religious Extremism in Balochistan”. Held at the London headquarters of Amnesty International, the event brought together eminent human rights advocates and academic experts, offering a platform for constructive debates on the struggle of indigenous peoples and minorities and state violence in Pakistan, and the future of Balochistan.
Panel moderator Mr Peter Tatchell, director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation, opened the debates highlighting the importance of raising awareness and concern about the situation in Balochistan, neglected by the international community and even by most human rights organisations.
Mr Athar Hussain, director of the London School of Economics (LSE) Asia Research Centre reminded the audience that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) – which will give the landlocked western part of China a direct link to the Arabian and Indian Sea – is part of a wider network of Chinese projects, the “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR), composed of six different corridors. Mr Hussain affirmed that the project is, indeed, likely to bring economic benefits, mainly regarding energy provision and considering the current energy shortage in the country. Nevertheless, he stated, the concerning matter is the way these benefits will be distributed. CPEC will not necessarily bring benefits to the regions through which it passes, being likely to bring more development to regions that are already developed, instead of poor areas such as Balochistan. Mr Hussain also noted that CPEC is designed to bring profit to China more than to other parts involved, and that structural issues in Pakistan such as corruption and tax evasion are also to be taken into consideration when analysing the prospects of local development.
Ms Mahvish Ahmad, currently a doctoral student at the University of Cambridge, spoke about her experience reporting on Balochistan, where she witnessed the state and military violence and oppression against the Baloch people. According to Ms Ahmad, the situation has become more difficult because of increasing censorship by the military and fragmentation not only between tribes, but also between Baloch groups. She stressed that the silencing of solidarities among oppressed groups hinders their potential to succeed. Furthermore, Ms Ahmad shed a light on the fact that Pakistani army’s unlawful activities and cases of state violence are not reported in the country, while some extremist groups’ comparatively small actions – although not less reprehensible – are the ones more often highlighted in the media.
Mr Naseer Dashti, exiled Baloch anthropologist and the author of several books on South Central Asia and Balochistan, talked about the concerning prospects of CPEC altering demography in regions such as Balochistan, where already oppressed groups are bound to become minorities as Han-Chinese workers and – as it happened around the port of Gwadar – Punjabi businessmen are likely to settle as the corridor is implemented.
Mr Burzine Waghmar, PhD candidate and Senior Teaching Fellow at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) emphasised that “Pakistan is a failed state that refuses to fail”. Mr Waghmar poignantly conveyed how the CPEC infrastructure will in no way benefit the Baloch indigenous population, as there are no coal, solar or wind projects planned for the area. Mr Waghmar placed the challenges posed by CPEC in a context of decades of human rights violations inflicted upon the indigenous Baloch population, such as enforced disappearances – and how the US$46-billion-dollar mega project will accelerate these.
First ever Rhodes Scholar from Balochistan at the University of Oxford, Mr Rafiullah Kakar took the floor to discuss the future of the Baloch question and whether it can be solved within the Pakistani federal framework. Mr Kakar underlined how the Pakistan was born with tensions regarding the multi-ethnic and multinational character of its territory, and soon started to see this as a potential threat to the state unity. He lined out several changes that need to occur in Pakistan to solve the Baloch question, such as less power to the Pakistani army, creation of a plural national government and direct elections of senators. He emphatically concluded his contribution by affirming that “The state’s coercive capacity and ability to manipulate consent, even creating fragmentation and hindering solidarity between tribes, is far too strong in Balochistan”.
The contributions were then followed by an interactive question and answer session, where the audience got the chance to discuss Baloch progressive nationalism, repercussions of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor on different non-Punjab Pakistani ethnic communities and what concrete measures would be most effective for the direct future of Balochistan – to effectively end the atrocities inflicted upon its people.

Margaret Mee, née Brown (1909-1988), was a British contemporary artist considered to be one of the most remarkable women of the twentieth century.1 She was referred to as the premier female explorer of the Brazilian rainforest and an outstanding botanical artist. Her voice was one of the first courageous ones to be raised against the exploitative destruction of Amazonia and she spoke for its conservation until her death.1
Her Early Years
Margaret Ursula Brown was born on May 22, 1909, thirty miles west of London, in Whitehill near Chesham, England.2,3 In her early years she was surrounded by nature, as rural Chesham in the Chiltern Hills was historically known as one of the most wooded parts of Britain.2,3 Mee’s roots were Swedish on her father’s side, and East Anglian on her mother’s side. While young, Mee was known as Peggy, and grew up with two sisters, Catherine and Dora, and a younger brother, John. Her home life was modest, with her father traveling daily to the city for work at the Alliance Assurance Company.2
Due to the family’s distance from any schools and her young age, Mee was taught at home. She was instructed by her mother’s sister, a children’s book illustrator named Ellen Mary Churchman who had been partially deaf since age fifteen.2,3
Her father fought in WWI, and while he was away, Mee and her siblings settled in Hove, a seaside English town, and attended a small school there run on solidly Victorian principles.2,3 Her father did not return from the war until 1922, after which the family moved back to Chesham and at the age of thirteen, Mee went to school in the nearby town of Amersham, where her artistry first surfaced.3
The Study of Art
Mee’s father was a naturalist who encouraged her to pursue her love of nature, and taught her the names of wildflowers.3 In 1926, at the age of 17, she enrolled into the School of Art and Science in Waterford, earning a teaching degree and subsequently landing a teaching position in Liverpool.
However, this was short-lived and soon after, in 1932, she started traveling and eventually moved to Germany to stay with an exchange student, Bruno.2,3 In the 1930s, she moved back to London, after witnessing the atrocities against the Jews in Germany.2,3
In 1945, when the war ended, she entered the prestigious St. Martin’s School of Art in central London, deciding to pursue a career in art, working in a studio and taking night and weekend art classes.2,3
In 1947, she was recommended to the Camberwell School of Art as a full-time student by her teacher, Victor Pasmore, one of Britain’s leading painters. She received a grant for her studies and “marvellous training,” leading to her diploma three years later.2 At St. Martin’s, she first met Greville Mee, a commercial artist from Leicester, England, whom she eventually married in the late 1940s.2,3
Adventures to the Tropics and Life in Brazil
Mee and her husband originally traveled to Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1952 to visit her younger sister, Catherine, when she was unwell.2,3 Mee’s mother, Lizbelle, visited Catherine once for nine months, returning with exciting stories that she shared with Mee.2 The trip to visit her sister introduced Mee to Amazonian wildlife, and marked the start of an extraordinary botanical illustration career.3
Mee moved to Sao Paulo where she taught art at the British School called St. Paul’s, and what she originally envisioned as a three or four year stay, grew into a lifetime.2 From 1956-1988, she journeyed 15 times to the Amazon, where she observed and painted plant specimens in their natural tropical flora habitat. Her husband ran an airbrush equipment business and was a successful commercial artist in Sao Paulo.2
At age 47, in 1956, Mee made her first expedition to the Amazon to collect, observe, sketch, and paint flora, flying with her Dutch friend, Rita (a fellow St. Paul’s teacher) in a small cargo passenger aircraft to Belem at the mouth of the Amazon River while on a January school holiday.2 Belem, the capital of Para state, had the local Goeldi Museum, known as the best source of Amazonian information. Belem was also known as the gateway port to the Amazon where people commuted by river boat.
On subsequent expeditions, Mee traveled in a dugout canoe with a native guide, living in the rainforest for two to three months at a time and eating dehydrated soup boiled in swamp water.3 During these trips, she created detailed field sketches of the plants with records of locality and habitat.1
She searched along the banks of the Rio Negro, for twenty years until finding the rarest Amazon Moonflower, Selenicereus wittii, first in 1965, and then again in 1972. It is a rare night-flowering cactus whose flowers open their petals on just one night each year.1,4 This plant in full bloom had never been painted or photographed in nature before, nor has it been since, and has rarely been recorded by botanists.4
Mee’s expeditions to the Amazon sometimes put her in difficult circumstances. In 1988, when interviewed for American television, she recalled how on an earlier expedition, a gang of prospectors found her alone in her hut. One forced entry. She described this: “He comes in, but I stick my revolver into his stomach, and that gave him a shock, I can tell you.” After this encounter, she described being treated “like a queen.” 8
While not traveling to the Amazon, Mee taught commercial art for five years at St. Paul’s, Sao Paulo’s British School Overseas, a school for students aged 3-18, the first of its kind in South America.3
In 1958, her first exhibit at Sao Paulo’s Instituto de Botanica led to a work contract there. In 1959, an exhibit of her paintings was featured at the Jardim Botanico, in Rio de Janeiro, in their 150th anniversary celebration.3
An Accomplished Artist
In 1960, Mee’s paintings were exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society Botanical Art Show in London and earned her the Grenfell Gold Medal.3,5 After that, she was able to work as a successful freelance artist.5 Her drawings were some of the finest flower drawings, being entirely original, using the medium gouache, an opaque watercolour technique she first used at Camberwell, on Fabriano Raffaello high-quality paper.
Over her thirty-five years in Brazil, Mee wrote and illustrated three books and painted numerous items of the fauna and flora of this tropical region.3 A description of the 2003 book about Mee, called Margaret Mee’s Amazon: Diaries of an artist explorer, focuses on her life. The 1988 book In Search of Flowers of the Amazon Forests describes her artwork, hand-collected plant specimens, some new species which were named after her, her overall contribution to knowledge about the Amazon, and an awareness for the need of its conservation.
In 1976, Mee won the M.B.E./Member of the British Empire award and several other prestigious honors.3 There is also an orchid nursery coined in her name at the Jardim Botanico de Brasilia. Through her artwork and conservation efforts, Mee publicly criticized the Brazilian government’s failure to tackle deforestation, even under military dictatorship there.8
The Margaret Mee Amazon Trust
In 1988, after Mee tragically died in a car crash in England, the Margaret Mee Amazon Trust (MMAT) was founded, to further research and education about Amazonian plant life and conservation.7 It was based in the UK, with immediate aims to raise money for purchasing the Amazon Collection: 60 paintings of Amazonian plants by Margaret Mee for deposit at Kew and the creation of a scholarship scheme to support forest conservation.9 The Trust established scholarships to help Brazilian botanists study in Britain and the Fundação Botânica Margaret Mee (FBMM) was set up in Rio de Janeiro to promote local scholarships within Brazil and international scholarships in collaboration with the MMAT at Kew.6,9 The FBMM made a great impact in Brazil through raising awareness about Margaret Mee’s work, through exhibitions and promotions, archives, promoting botanical illustration through the Brazilian Botanical Society, managing conservation research in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, and much more.9
In 1996, the Trust dissolved, and from then on worked under the support of the Foundation and Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The scholarships were renamed the Margaret Mee Fellowship Programme and still work closely with FBMM in Brazil. From 2005 onwards, the programme was restricted to the artist scholarship alone, due to funding constraints.9 Mee was repeatedly applauded and recognized for her contributions to the botanical illustration field. In the words of the world-famous Brazilian landscape architect, Roberto Burle Marx:
Brazil has been and continues to be the land of enchantment for the botanist. One can understand how these regions have fascinated and inspired Margaret Mee. This vast country has more than 650 species of bromeliads; some, like Aechmea polyantha, are known to us only from Margaret Mee’s paintings. To seek out a plant, bring it from its obscurity and reveal it to those who are inspired by Nature, is a true discovery. Each plant is a mystery whose laws challenge us; whose reason for life, whose preferences, dislikes and interrelationships, teach us a lesson which should give us a better understanding of the world in which we live. I admire and respect Margaret Mee, who seeks to portray the intricate beauty of the many plants which have so far passed unnoticed in a world where greed and ambition ruthlessly destroy our wonderful heritage, the gift of life.

A casino online is a virtual platform where players can access a variety of casino games and play for real money. It is operated by an e-gaming company, which is licensed and regulated by the relevant gambling authority. There are a number of different types of online casinos, including those that offer live dealer gaming. These sites are available across the world, and they allow players to deposit using a wide range of methods, from credit cards to e-wallets.
Some of the most popular games at an online casino include poker, blackjack, and roulette. These table games were traditionally played at riverboat casinos, but they have found their way to the internet in a more modern form. They are a great source of entertainment and can lead to big wins, so it’s important to choose a site that offers these games.
The website should also be secure and provide a good customer support experience. A good customer support team should be able to answer your questions instantly via the chat feature. This is a crucial aspect for players, as they don’t want to be stuck trying to figure out how to get the most out of their online gambling experience.
Moreover, the best casino online should have a variety of games from various providers. It should also have a wide selection of slots that are compatible with mobile devices. This will ensure that you can play the games on the go, regardless of your location. It’s also a good idea to look for a casino that offers both classic and modern slot titles.
If you’re looking for a casino with a huge selection of games, check out PointsBet. The sportsbook is famous for offering an impressive volume of games, exciting promotions, and a polished mobile app. It has recently expanded into the casino market, and its selection of slot machines, table games, and video poker is quite impressive.
You’ll find all of the main table games at an online casino, including roulette, blackjack, and baccarat. Some of these sites even have VIP tables for high rollers. In addition to these, you’ll also find plenty of video poker options and other specialty games.

Kelly Clarkson has been a beloved celebrity since winning American Idol in 2002. Her fame increased with the rise of The Kelly Clarkson Show, on which she performs many covers, from The Weeknd’s “Take My Breath” to Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License.” However, things behind the scenes aren’t as peachy as they seem.
In a new Rolling Stone article, employees both present and former told the publication that they are “overworked, underpaid, and that working at the show was traumatizing to their mental health,” according to writer Krystie Lee Yandoli.
A former employee said, “NBC is protecting the show because it’s their new money maker, but Kelly has no clue how unhappy her staff is.” Another former employee added, “I remember going up on the roof of the stage to cry, being like, ‘Oh, my gosh, what am I doing? Why am I putting myself through this?'”
One former employee described the show’s executive producer Alex Duda as a “monster,” saying, “I have a friend who’s an executive producer who warned me about taking this job, because apparently she has done this on every show she’s worked on.”
According to one current employee and 10 former employees, Clarkson is unaware of the toxic environment of the show, not realizing the struggles of lower-level staffers who have other jobs as babysitters, dog walkers, and Uber Eats drivers. A former employee clarified, “Kelly is fantastic. She is a person who never treats anyone with anything but dignity and is incredibly appreciative. I would be shocked if she knew. I’d be floored if she knew the staff wasn’t getting paid for two weeks of Christmas hiatus. The Kelly that I interacted with and that everyone knows would probably be pretty aghast to learn that.”
Kelly Clarkson is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Having your car broken into via smashed windows has become the new normal in New Orleans. On Tuesday, Jan. 14, a group of neighborhood associations hosted a community meeting at the Jewish Community Center to “discuss the recent uptick of crimes and ways to combat it,” stated a notice from the Faubourg Delachaise Neighborhood Association. The meeting, which was moved from a meeting room to the larger Donald Mintz Auditorium, attracted more than 100 fed-up and concerned citizens who wanted answers and solutions. What they came away with is that, particularly with juvenile crime, there is no single solution, and that any improvement is an evolving process including New Orleanians, the City Council, the NOPD, the Mayor’s Office, state legislature, and the local, state and federal judiciary.
Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Nakisha Ervin-Knott ruled that the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board is legally responsible for the substantial damages caused to more than 350 Uptown homes and businesses as a result of construction of the massive SELA drainage project. The court on Monday, Jan. 6, granted the plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment, finding the city agency the sole responsible party for claims of inverse condemnation, custodial liability and timber pile-driving claims.
According to plaintiffs’ attorney Michael Whitaker, all that is left now is for each claimant to prove the extent of the damage to their property. The ruling means claimants who provide evidence of damage will have their claims more swiftly decided and judgment entered in their favor. Trial on the next 20 claims is set for Tuesday, Jan.
Sister Helen Prejean, author of “Dead Man Walking,” commemorated 10 years without any executions in Louisiana — the longest such period in the state’s history — at a “Vigil for Life” ceremony in New Orleans on Jan. 7. Louisiana has executed 28 individuals since 1976. The 28th was Gerald Bordelon, 47, a Livingston Parish man sentenced to death for the murder of Courtney LeBlanc, his 12-year-old stepdaughter. He was pronounced dead from lethal injection at 6:32 p.m. on Jan.
From the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office
A New Orleans man and woman indicted last month on charges that they raped another woman inside a Leonidas neighborhood home in January 2019 surrendered to authorities in court this week and have been remanded into custody, District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s Office announced Friday. Edward “Eddie” Budd, 39, and Echo Hurlburt, 26, appeared for arraignment before Criminal District Judge Laurie A. White. Each entered a plea of not guilty to a single count of first-degree rape, charges that were handed up Oct. 24 by an Orleans Parish grand jury. White ordered both defendants remanded into custody at the Orleans Justice Center jail.
The volunteers at Court Watch NOLA are a well-oiled data collection machine that have made a significant impact on the operations of the Orleans Parish criminal court system for more than a decade. “We are a basic exercise in democracy,” said director Simone Levine. Through the information skilled volunteers collect, the agency publishes reports “that spur dialogue and bring much needed transparency and accountability to the courts.”
Founded after Hurricane Katrina by the New Orleans Business Council and other forward-thinking organizations, Court Watch NOLA seeks to shorten the gulf between “insiders” and “outsiders,” Levine explained. Outsiders are the crime victims, witnesses, defendants and jurors. Insiders are the public officials who run the system, including the judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, police officers and Sheriff’s Office officials. “Court Watch NOLA teaches outsiders the language of court so that outsiders can bring accountability and help to solve some of the problems that insiders have so regularly lived with that they often no longer see as problematic,” Levine said.
A man was charged in the shooting death of his father inside his grandmother’s Leonidas home, District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office announced Thursday. Carldell Paul, also known as Carldell Daniels, was charged with the second-degree murder of 50-year-old Carl Daniels and with obstructing justice in a homicide investigation in the two-count indictment handed up by an Orleans Parish grand jury. Paul, 31, faces a mandatory lifetime prison sentence if convicted of the murder, and up to 40 years if found guilty of the obstruction count. The victim’s mother called New Orleans police at 9:19 p.m. on July 10 to report the killing inside a bedroom of her home in the 1200 block of Eagle Street. She told investigators that her son and grandson had been arguing about money, and that she suddenly heard gunshots in the victim’s room.
Four alleged members of the Byrd Gang were charged under the Louisiana Racketeering Act and in other crimes related to a violent drug-trafficking enterprise based in Central City, District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office announced on Monday. An Orleans Parish special grand jury on Oct. 23 handed up a 16-count indictment charging Tyrone “Six” Bovia, Chance “Doona” Skipper, James “Poo” Alexander and Randy “Tokey Hefner” Calvin with racketeering. In Louisiana, racketeering is punishable in Louisiana by a prison sentence of up to 50 years. The announcement of the indictment was delayed to give law enforcement officers a reduced-risk opportunity to arrest the suspects.
A New Orleans man has been indicted for murder in connection with an August killing inside a home in the city’s Dixon neighborhood, District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office announced on Thursday. Aaron “Yao” Lawrence was charged with the second-degree murder of 41-year-old Travis Smith, obstruction of justice in a homicide investigation, and with being a felon in possession of a firearm, in the three-count indictment handed up by an Orleans Parish grand jury. Lawrence, 33, faces a mandatory lifetime prison term if convicted of murder. He also faces up to 40 years in state prison if found guilty of the obstruction count, and 10-15 years if convicted of the firearms offense. Those penalties ultimately could be enhanced, based upon Lawrence’s extensive record of felony narcotics possession and distribution convictions.
The NOPD arrested three suspects on Tuesday, Oct. 8, in multiple narcotics and firearms violations. The arrests occurred in the 8700 block of Green Street. Following up on a Crimestoppers tip, Second District Task Force officers initiated surveillance on the location in the Leonidas neighborhood. Following surveillance and a subsequent investigation, officers obtained a search warrant.
The city of New Orleans has released a statement on the removal of hazardous materials in Gert Town about two weeks week after about 1,000 Gert Town neighbors filed a class-action suit against the city, according to media reports. WWL-TV first reported on the hazardous waste early in June. Later in the month, neighbors filed a suit claiming the city knew about the materials and did nothing to notify the neighborhood. Crews in hazmat suits dug up the material without alerting residents to its dangers, the neighbors claim. The materials were below the road surface on Lowerline Street and Coolidge Place.

My 11-year-old son used his allowance to purchase a BB gun at Academy Sports & Outdoors on a shopping trip with his grandfather a few weeks ago.
Needless to say, I wasn’t happy about it. My father, who grew up in Rosa, a rural agricultural community in St. Landry Parish, thought nothing of it. He grew up hunting deer, rabbit and whatever else was in season along with his eight brothers and scores of cousins. Back in his day, as kids, they handled real shotguns, not replicas, and missed weeks at a time of school to help his father in the fields.
I could have gotten really angry with my father and called him up, as I’ve done in the past, to explain why I parent the way I do and give him my speech on why I believe fake guns and weaponry are not suitable playthings. And, in turn, he would’ve spoke of how he was raised, hunting, fishing, riding horses, slaughtering hogs at boucheries — rites of passage for boy children reared in the country.
But I didn’t.
“What are you going to do with a BB gun?” I questioned my son.
I half heard his answer, “hunting” before unleashing a lecture detailing the dangers of him as a young black boy being seen walking around the city with a toy gun.
“I know. I know,” he interrupted, “I know better than that.”
Over the weekend, Cleveland police shot down Tamir Rice after the authorities received a 9-1-1 call about him being spotted in a park with a gun, an airsoft-type gun that shoots plastic pellets. Tamir was 12, barely older than my son.
The 9-1-1 caller said at least twice that the gun was probably fake. However, the dispatcher doesn’t appear to have revealed that detail to cops. The police report that instead of Tamir raising his hands as directed, he drew the pellet gun from his waistband though he said nothing and did not point it at them. Cops shot Tamir anyway.
I told my son Tamir’s story this week.
There was no change in his voice. Nor facial expression. He was numb. Unfortunately, this is what happens when violence — street violence, police violence, emotional violence — becomes the new rite of passage for our young black youth. When horrific incidents happen so frequently and injustice reigns as the order of the day, they damn near expect tragedy to strike the people they know, those who resemble them and them personally. Eventually.
To cope with this world’s madness, our black youth detach as a means not to live every single day broken to prevent an overdose on sadness.
The cynic in me, a student of history — even recent history with Darren Wilson not being indicted in the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. — already knows the outcome of the police shooting investigation of Tamir.
Word choice by the media and law enforcement will be deliberate and calculated to condemn Tamir while justifying yet another murder by the police. Key phrases such as “split second decision,” “life-or-death situation” and “public safety” will be used to drum up sympathy for police, in general. The officers involved, out on administrative leave, will be painted as victims.
Media coverage and police language will turn this preteen into a monster. A narrative of Tamir as a menace will emerge. Every detention he’s ever received at school, every less-than-stellar progress report, any trouble he may have gotten into in his short life will become a matter of record and be offered up as evidence that little Tamir was headed for a life of thuggery.
This is what happens in these cases. The dead are the ones who end up on trial, and the police lifted up as misunderstood heroes.
If law enforcement believes these police shootings are truly tragedies as they say in press conferences to the mourning families and the grieving public, when no indictment decisions are being handed down; if these words are not mere script, why do these killer cops get to gloat in national TV interviews and tout a perverse self-righteousness?
If this is supposed to be our country, one shared with cops and civilians alike, and not some far-off war zone in a hard-to-pronounce mountain range or desert or jungle, why is a black person killed every 28 hours by police officers, security guards or self-appointed vigilantes right here in this country?
Tamir was a 12-year-old boy playing in the park with his BB gun when police shot him. Was he shot because he was a threat to “public safety”? Or was he shot because that’s what happens when cops in America have “split second decisions” to make about young black boys?
So, should I tell my son, the grandchild of a St. Landry Parish-bred outdoorsman, that he cannot have that BB gun? While my son says he “knows better,” the police demonstrate over and over that they do not.

If you’re interested in creating a project like this, let us know!
Percentage of the population that is both low-income and lives over a 1/2 mile away from a grocery store in (clockwise from top left) St. Louis, Providence, Atlanta, and Fresno.
The Food Access Research Atlas is a census tract level dataset provided by the Economic Research Services (ERS) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) that allows planners, academics, and community organizers to get a deeper sense of the prevailing food crisis across many of our neighborhoods.
While the downloadable data provided by the USDA is non-spatial, UrbanFootprint makes this data available for easy mapping by joining the information with census tract geometries. UrbanFootprint users can now view the 2015 dataset, pan around a region of their choice, and analyze the food access information in the context of a plethora of other datasets, including parcel-level land use information, to start comprehensively understanding food deserts in their communities or planning projects.
The Food Access Research Atlas dataset breaks down access to supermarkets by age, race, access to vehicles, and use of federal subsidies like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). It also provides different thresholds of measuring food access, including understanding food in both urban areas and rural areas, and also detailing access at specific distances to capture the nuances seen more in cities, ie. those living beyond half a mile, a mile, or 10 miles from supermarkets.
The map below shows census tracts in Memphis, TN. Here we’re mapping the percent of each census tract’s population that is considered low income and live more than a mile away from the nearest supermarket.
The dataset also permits us to look at how food access is potentially exacerbated by who has access to a vehicle or not.
Academics, planners, and community-led organizations talk about the factors that determine a neighborhood’s access to good, affordable food and their correlation with historic patterns of disinvestments in communities, especially low-income neighborhoods or communities of color. As the food access dataset is now easily accessible alongside UrbanFootprint’s vast library of additional datasets, it opens the door for multiple, intersectional questions such as:
- What is the role of transit in facilitating greater access to quality food for disadvantaged communities?
- In existing food deserts, what parcels could accommodate a new grocery store?
- Or even, how might a city redesign zoning policy so that having a vehicle is not a prerequisite to a healthy diet?
Food security and access to quality, affordable food is a resonant theme in working to build more equitable communities. We at UrbanFootprint want to make this data easily accessible and actionable as a key component of data-driven planning practices across government and private entities tackling the food crisis.
Interested in exploring food access data in your community or planning project?
We invite you to schedule a demo with our team. We’ll share how UrbanFootprint can quickly map existing food access conditions for any U.S. location.

Guitarist Edgar Cruz to kick off USAO’s digital Davis-Waldorf series
Oklahoma City’s own guitar extraordinaire Edgar Cruz will kick off the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma’s innovative online season of the Davis-Waldorf Performing Arts Series Sept. 17 at 7 p.m.
This live online concert will feature pieces from Cruz’s eclectic repertoire as well as audience requests. Throughout the evening, Cruz will lead a discussion of solo guitar performance and the rising prominence of fingerstyle guitar-playing in the United States. The event is free of charge, but attendees must subscribe to the DWPAS mailing list at usao.edu/dwpas to receive the access code.
“While our campus performing arts spaces remain closed to the public, we are dedicated to the mission of the series. Now more than ever, people are seeking personal, meaningful, live events that are safe and easy to attend,” said Katie Davis, professor of theatre arts and DWPAS executive director. “This season, in its online platform, the DWPAS will reach new audiences. Never before have we been able to offer more equal access to the arts. People of all ages will have the chance to participate in real-time conversations with artists and experience the creative process.”
An independent recording artist, Cruz has released 19 albums in styles ranging from classical and flamenco to pop and jazz. Using a combination of speed, precision and musical complexity, he creates a symphony of sound with just a single acoustic instrument. A headliner at the prestigious Chet Atkins Guitar Festival in Nashville every July since 1995, Cruz performs over 300 concerts a year and has toured throughout Europe and the Americas.
The USAO Foundation presents the DWPAS with additional support from the Oklahoma Arts Council, Chickasha Public School Foundation, Mid-America Arts Alliance and community and corporate partners. Its mission is to encourage attendance at high-quality performing arts events as an aspect of a liberal arts education for our students, to provide an affordable entertainment resource for our college family and our community, and to become a leader in local arts education by presenting relevant and culturally diverse programming that broadens the aesthetic of our audiences.
For more information or to subscribe, visit usao.edu/dwpas or call (405) 574-1213.

US fintech Expensify announces share repurchase program
Expensify, a payments superapp that helps individuals and businesses around the world simplify the way they manage money across expenses, corporate cards and bills, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $50 million of shares of its Class A common stock.
“With the current market volatility due to macroeconomic conditions, we believe there is, and could continue to be, an attractive buying opportunity for our stock. Our positive free cash flow puts us in a good position to be able to initiate a buyback program and return value to our shareholders,” said Expensify CFO, Ryan Schaffer.
The new share repurchase program is designed to return value to shareholders by offsetting dilution from stock issuances and reducing share count over time. Expensify may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, restrictions under the terms of our loan agreements and other considerations. This program has no termination date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock.

Lionel Messi Scores First Goal For PSG, Silencing Critics
This UEFA Champions League Group A match-up was a hot topic for the last few weeks and rightly so: Messi had been linked with a Manchester City since move last year, and Pep Guardiola, the City manager, was a mentor and coach of Messi. But Messi still had not scored his first goal for PSG.
Idrissa Gueye opened the scoring for PSG with a venomous strike into the upper righthand corner in the 8th minute. Kylian Mbappe sent a dangerous ball skidding across the Manchester box and Gueye took one touch to settle and made no mistake with his effort.
Manchester fought hard throughout the match but was unable to score. They had seven attempts on goal as opposed to PSG’s three — two of which were goals.
A week of sports news in your in-box.
We find the sports news you need to know, so you don't have to.
In the 73rd minute, Messi put an end to his PSG goal-drought, which had been the root of enormous internet criticism. The gripping may be unfair because most of his season has been spent on the sidelines for a variety of reasons.
Nonetheless, Messi answered his critics and ultimately silenced them in stunning fashion. The Argentinian, in typical Messi style, precisely curved the ball past Ederson from just outside the box with his golden left foot — a goal that he’s scored countless times during his days at F.C. Barcelona.
Ultimately, PSG was able to hold off Manchester’s attacking forces and finished with a 2-0 win. This win puts PSG at the top of Group A, along with Club Brugge, with 4 points. This can change rapidly, however, because there are still six matches left to play for each team in the group.
PSG are off to a dominant start in the French Ligue 1, winning all of the first eight games played. Of those games, Messi has only played two. This must be a terrifying realization for the other teams in the league. With Messi, especially after gaining momentum in yesterday’s match, PSG look unstoppable. It’s safe to say, we can dive back into the GOAT debate.

Presumptive Conditions Connected to Burn Pit Exposure
Military veterans who were exposed to burn pits have faced a lot of obstacles in securing VA disability benefits. Until recently, only three conditions were presumptively connected to burn pit exposure. That left veterans who developed cancers after their military service or had chronic lung problems from inhaling toxic chemicals responsible for proving on a case-by-case basis that their illnesses and organ damage were service-connected.
Fortunately, that all changed in 2022, with the passage of the PACT Act. Now, many veterans who suffered the consequences of burn pit exposure have long overdue access to veterans disability benefits.
Establishing a Presumptive Connection Due to Burn Pit Exposure
The presumption is really a two-step process. First, veterans who served in specific areas during specific time periods are presumed to have been exposed to burn pits. If someone is presumed to have been exposed, then certain conditions will be presumptively connected.
The locations giving rise to a presumption of burn pit exposure include:
On or after August 2, 1990:
- Saudi Arabia
- The United Arab Emirates (UAE)
- The airspace over these areas
On or after September 11, 2001:
- The airspace over these areas
The conditions presumed connected to burn pit exposure include:
- Asthma diagnosed after service
- Head cancer of any type
- Neck cancer of any type
- Respiratory cancer of any type
- Gastrointestinal cancer of any type
- Reproductive cancer of any type
- Lymphoma cancer of any type
- Lymphatic cancer of any type
- Kidney cancer
- Brain cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Constrictive bronchiolitis or obliterative bronchiolitis
- Granulomatous disease
- Interstitial lung disease
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Chronic sinusitis
- Chronic rhinitis
This list may be expanded as research into the effects of burn pit exposure continues.
How Do Burn Pits Cause Illness and Organ Damage?
Burn pit exposure has been connected with various illnesses and medical conditions, likely because of the various materials burned in military burn pits. These materials included chemicals, metals, biological waste, plastic, rubber, petroleum, unexploded ordnance, and other potentially toxic materials. The presumptive connections for veterans who served in areas with long-term burn pits relieve the veteran of proving that they were exposed to particular toxins that are connected to their particular condition.
The Time to Get Help is Now
Whether you have previously been denied veterans disability benefits in connection with burn pit exposure or never applied due to the difficulty of proving a service connection, it’s time to act. However, the best approach may vary depending on whether you have applied in the past and the outcome of that claim. Your best next step is to talk with an experienced VA disability advocate. You can schedule a free consultation right now by calling (855) 855-8992 or contacting us here.

Our journey back to the Moon and onto Mars starts at home, and NASA’s Veterans are a big part of accomplishing that mission. Veterans currently make up 12% of the NASA workforce. Many of the most iconic figures at the agency—our astronauts—have a strong veteran tie. In fact, all NASA astronauts were military pilots until 1965. Of the 385 total NASA Astronauts, 223 are Veterans! Veterans continue to have a sweeping impact on NASA, in every corner of our workforce. Thanks to all the men and women who have served in our armed forces. Have a safe and happy Veterans Day.

Cities is a series of micro-architectures by designer Carlo Massoud. This piece is inspired by the Franziskaner-Klosterkirche in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 1250 as a monastery church for a Franciscan house. Built in the early Gothic style, it was destroyed during World War II. Today it is home to many exhibitions, plays and concerts. Inspired by world travels, each Cities piece is a reinterpretation of a global landmark - a structure that has significant historical, architectural, or cultural meaning.

- New product
Trento Doc Brut - Opera Magnum 1,5 lt.
Opera Brut is a Millesimato Blanc de Blancs, obtained with Chardonnay grapes from vineyards over 500 meters above sea level. After the "tirage" it refines in contact with the lees for over 60 months. The "perlage" is fine and persistent. The color is light straw yellow with greenish reflections. The intense, fragrant, very variegated bouquet is full of scents reminiscent of hawthorn and magnolia flowers, the fruitiness of ripe Golden apple and peach, the subtle, yet inviting, notes of hazelnut and lightly toasted bread. The taste is clean and harmonious, fruity and complex, well balanced and characterized by a fresh acidity that enhances the fruity sensations. In the finish, pleasant and persistent, can be perceived delicate aromas of sourdough, sweet almond and a delicious aromatic background of Chardonnay.
Opera stands on the foundations of the historic Napoleone Rossi winery, the oldest in the valley, and is the result of an impressive architectural recovery and expansion project: a jewel set among the daring terraced vineyards that distinguish this marvelous area of Trentino.

If you’re shooting silly lighthearted CheeseCake Pinup photography, the expressions are what make the pictures pop!
I recently discovered these cute pinup pics that I shot a few years ago while I was coming out of a pretty messed up time in my personal life. I got distracted and mostly forgot about them sitting on my backup drive.
Here are my re-edits. I think that previously I had over-edited them, when really they just needed minor cropping and color correction.

An authentic and wild alpine valley rich in natural heritage and traditions
Scopri la Valle Grana
The Valle Grana territory is an almost intact environmental niche, where ancient history and uncontaminated nature are intertwined with the traditions of the Occitan-Provençal culture and gastronomic excellence. Paths and mule tracks accompany you from the alluvial plain at the
bottom of the valley, through the narrow gorges of the torrent, up to the boundless prairies of the high ridge surrounding the Sanctuary of San Magno, a GTA stop-off point.
In less than 25 linear kilometres, the variety of environment and climate create a perfect place for fruit-growing, livestock breeding and sheep-farming: culinary specialties continue to mark the economy of these lands, such as the prized King of cheeses already popular in the 12 th century: the
Castelmagno cheese PDO (Protected Designation of Origin)
Let the beauty of the Grana Valley captivate you.
Artistic and architectural beauties of millenary churches and chapels hidden in the woods are
scattered in all the eight municipalities that shape the territory. From Hans Clemer's painting cycle in the parish church of Bernezzo, to Pietro da Saluzzo's frescoes in Monterosso Grana, to the small distinctive signs of the industrial revolution such as the Spinning Wheel in Caraglio, Porta di Valle.
There are paths that can tell stories to both adults and children, transporting you to the mountain civilisation of the past. Amateur roads and some of the most difficult climbs, such as Colle Fauniera, where the statue dedicated to Marco Pantani, a cyclist who performed a remarkable feat here in 1998. All of this is waiting for you to enjoy!

Lambing Day at Four Winds Farm has become a regular annual fixture on the Lush-Mansell calendar! We took my eldest son Harry along to it several years ago when it was quite a small scale event and have watched it grow over the years into a popular family day out with lots of fun activities along with seeing some lovely little new born lambs and their tired Mums!
Located in Bidborough, just outside Royal Tunbridge Wells, Four Winds Farm is a family-run commercial sheep farm. The event took place at the peak of lambing season on 1st April this year (2017)- the sun was shining and it was our first outdoor adventure of the year where I genuinely felt nice and warm.
My boys immediately headed for the selection of ride-ons on arrival, which were cordoned off into a make-shift track surrounded by hay bales. Given the choice, they would have spent all day riding around the track – chasing each other, arguing together and generally just burning lots of energy. However there were lots of other children waiting patiently for their turn too, so I had to try to coax them off the ride-ons and into the barn to see some newborn lambs.
My youngest boy was enthralled with the lambs, but Harry wasn’t so keen, so I left him with his Dad to have a look around while Ben and I did a tour through the big barn looking at each of them. Some of them had literally just been ‘hatched’ while there were others which were nice and clean looking and enjoying a sleep. Each year, I hope to see a lamb being born, but I always seem to get the timing wrong – the same thing happened this time round but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for 2018!
There were tractor rides taking place at the back of the farm (included in the ticket price) which we queued up for with our friends. It was slow going but worth the wait and great to get a glimpse of the rest of the farm. Both boys really enjoyed this and it was definitely one of the most memorable parts of the day.
Next up was some lunch which was delicious burgers from nearby Juddwood Farm Shop. There’s nothing quite like a BBQ with fresh, high quality and local meat (assuming you aren’t a vegetarian). There was also a super stall with tons of tasty treats and refreshments in aid of Cancer Research.
We missed the Sheep Dog Demo as we were queuing for the tractor ride but we got to watch some of the sheep shearing which was interesting.
Both boys enjoyed getting up onto the massive tractor at the entrance and there were other pieces of farm machinery scattered around the farm too which they ‘tested out’.
There was also an opportunity to get photographed with a little lamb, which Harry’s little friend was keen to do. The lamb let out a few little bleats which was very sweet and I’m told by her Mum that it was the highlight of her day.
Entry for adults was just £5 and £1 for under 16’s, making this a fantastic budget family friendly day out, supporting local businesses around Tunbridge Wells.
Will I finally get to see a lamb being born next Spring? Only time will tell…

Predictive materials synthesis is the primary bottleneck in realizing functional and quantum materials. Strategies for synthesis of promising materials are currently identified by time-consuming trial and error and there are no known predictive schemes to design synthesis parameters for materials. We use offline reinforcement learning (RL) to predict optimal synthesis schedules, i.e., a time-sequence of reaction conditions like temperatures and concentrations, for the synthesis of semiconducting monolayer MoS2 using chemical vapor deposition. The RL agent, trained on 10,000 computational synthesis simulations, learned threshold temperatures and chemical potentials for onset of chemical reactions and predicted previously unknown synthesis schedules that produce well-sulfidized crystalline, phase-pure MoS2. The model can be extended to multi-task objectives such as predicting profiles for synthesis of complex structures including multi-phase heterostructures and can predict long-time behavior of reacting systems, far beyond the domain of molecular dynamics simulations, making these predictions directly relevant to experimental synthesis.
