The Wamiran people have had an irrigation system for many years which allows water to soak into their vegetables gardens. In fact, history states that these people had an aqueduct system to distribute water several kilometres long well before the first Anglican Missionary landed at Kaieta over 100 years ago.
After a couple of days seeing the sights around Wamira such as Kaieta, the Anglican cathedral at Dogura and the Holy Name High School we were off again for our trip to the Wedau airport, oops that should be airstrip. The biggest plane to land there is a Twin Otter (Dash 6) aircraft and this is what we waited for.
I believe that the airstrip has now been closed due to lack of money for maintenance.
Wedau is a curious airstrip. It has about a 1.5 percent slope towards the sea, but the topography of the area gives the illusion that it slopes the other way.
What took us two and a half days to walk took us a mere ten minutes to fly all the way back to Gurney airport. People in Papua New Guinea hop on planes like people in other countries hop on a bus or a train to get to work. During the time my wife was doing her research in Milne Bay she would jump on a plane in the morning to do some shopping and then hop on the plane again to come home in the night.
If you want to see Papua New Guinea, as it truly is, then I suggest very strongly that you get far away from the main towns and do some walking. It is a wonderful way to meet the people and see the scenery. It is advisable, however, to seek information from the locals as they probably have walked the very same track as you as a matter of course in their daily lives to get from one village to the next. I can imagine that they would think we were silly just walking for the sake of walking. | 2019-04-23T05:55:46 | http://michie.net/index.php/png-info/png-misc/wamira-walk/127-wamira-walk-6 |
Although Infant, or "Baby Massage" is an ancient tradition in some cultures, it was not practiced in the West until the 1970s. Most Infant Massage Therapists are actually Instructors, who run classes that teach the parent or caregiver how to massage their own child. Instruction is important to learn about what massage oils can be used on a baby; some commercial preparations are actually too strong and may overload the liver or cause rashes. | 2019-04-26T06:26:54 | https://www.newworldnative.com/services-directory/massage-infant |
CO2: Second Chance revises and enriches of the original competitive game CO2 published in 2012 and also includes a brand-new cooperative game, in which the players have to collaborate to save the world, losing victory points each turn that they don't achieve their goals.
The new cooperative mode challenges the group with numerous, small ecological goals, which do an excellent job of easing new players into the strategy of the game, by helping them focus on smaller tasks that build toward the larger endgame goals. You and your friends can really apply your best lateral thinking to address the short-term and long-term objectives; however, each player also has a secret goal they must achieve in order for the group to win the game, which keeps things cooperative, without allowing one “alpha” player to dictate other players’ turns. If you have played the 2012 release of CO₂, you will be pleasantly surprised by this new cooperative game. It uses the same core rules, but with just a few twists and tweaks in just the right places, it provides a really fresh experience. If you have never played CO₂, the cooperative game can help you train to play CO₂: Second Chance competitively; however, the co-op mode is not merely a stepping stone: You could play the cooperative game for years to come, and every play will present new challenges!
This new and totally re-designed edition of CO2 will bring completely new iconography, an entirely new rulebook (with lots of 3D pictures for easier comprehension of the rules), more balanced gameplay, a new events deck, improved and streamlined mechanisms, a shorter length of play and upgraded wood components for the power plants (instead of cardboard tokens), while maintaining beautiful illustrations on the board and cover.

Few businesses providing products and services today can abstain from maintaining an online presence or engaging in some form of e-commerce. To be competitive in the modern marketplace, enterprises, both large and small, have adopted online business solutions to reach consumers and deliver their products in a fast, efficient, and unencumbered manner. However, until recently the daunting costs; in terms of personnel, upstart and upgrade time, and capital; associated with software and hosting solutions have made those solutions as much of a challenge as an asset to the world of e-business.
The solution to these problems is cloud computing. Cloud computing is a new approach to providing businesses with the software and hosting services they need. The ‘cloud’ is a metaphor for the internet, and cloud computing relies on utilizing the internet for a business’ software needs. Traditionally, a business needed to buy or rent servers and software and employ a staff of IT professionals to maintain them. This approach required significant capital, personnel, space, and equipment while lacking flexibility, efficiency, and ease of use.
Cloud computing is different; it allows businesses to interact with their hosting and software resources over the internet. This means that a business does not have to pay the high costs associated with buying and maintaining the software solutions they need. Those resources are pooled within the cloud to be used immediately when a business needs them. In cloud computing, a business simply interacts with and customizes the software they need via the internet or ‘cloud’. For this reason, cloud computing offers greatly diminished startup times and altogether eliminates startup costs. Instead of setting up a complicated system of software, businesses simply ‘plug in’ to the cloud’s existing services and pay a small, predictable subscription cost determined by their needs. In this way, cloud computing is similar to a utility- when you use more you pay more and vice versa. If using cloud computing is like using your energy meter at home, the traditional model of hosting would be akin to building and maintaining your own power plant.
Cloud computing offers further benefits compared to traditional software and hosting models. For example, scaling your needs is easy and instant with cloud computing. As an enterprise’s online business grows, the enterprise can simply pay more for the additional services they require. And, if a business requires less, they aren’t forced to pay for more than they need. Large and small businesses alike will benefit from the reduced cost, increased flexibility, and ease of use that cloud computing provides. Cloud computing will allow California’s businesses to compete in the digital marketplace without the traditional and often prohibitory costs associated with growing an online business. California is already home to many of the leaders in cloud computing such as Google and Salesforce and California’s rich, pioneering history of online business makes cloud computing an important development in the state’s continued advancement of e-business. Cloud computing will help lend an edge to California’s businesses and will provide tools that allow the state’s entrepreneurs and enterprises to grow and succeed unhindered. | 2019-04-23T22:24:33 | http://calinnovates.org/business-cloud-computing/ |

So I've had this problem for a few days now.. It was only rarely happening at first, but now it's happening more and more and it's making me question what's the cause behind it.
First, i'll like to note that all caching is disabled whatsoever (Varnish Cache on server, Cloudflare caching and caching plugin are all disabled).
Basically, when I try loading my website uncached, sometimes the page will load, but shortcode or image elements will not show up, or will show up with a big delay. And when I say "show up" i mean it litterally, they aren't showing up, but they are rendering (Because I see all the links and the elements as I move my mouse around on the website). This is probably hard to imagine, so I got a screenshot up.
( https://support.vincentsolutions.ca/user/ ). It would contain an HREF picture (which would show "Charles Eric Vincent" as a tooltip when mouse hovers it) and then the rest of the tabs and info.
But on screenshot, what I'm seeing is just an empty shortcode (All text and menus load up fine) but the tooltips are still showing up with the links. So the elements ARE rendering, but they aren't showing up on my screen for some reasons.
( https://support.vincentsolutions.ca ) sometimes don't load up at all (On the blue background). There's no href in them so I can't confirm if they are rendering or not, but they arent showing up for sure.
Have you guys ever seen something like this before ? Do you guys have any solution for this ?

The STEP SCREEN® System is widely accepted and successful due to its function and easy-to-follow operation principle as well as the simple cleaning method without any aids (self-cleaning effect according to the counter-current principle).
It is furthermore easy to maintain and able to handle extremely big screenings volumes whilst it also offers a high operational reliability. The motor linkage drive has been developed from the well-proven and patented link system.
To the benefit of our customers we intentionally avoided difficult-to-maintain chain drives. With the linkage type we are able to master the occurring bending moments on the lamellas, especially with high water levels.
Removal of the subsequent wash press or conveying unit is not required. | 2019-04-20T19:29:35 | https://www.huberme.com/products/screens-and-fine-screens/step-screenrs/huber-fine-screen-step-screenr-ssv.html |

The Texas Comptroller recently updated its handout providing taxpayers with information on how to contest disagreed audits, examinations, and refund denials. However, with respect to contesting audits, the Comptroller fails to address an important procedural vehicle that allows a taxpayer to go directly into district court, bypassing the administrative process altogether. Under the Tax Code, a taxpayer has the right to directly challenge an audit assessment in the Travis County district courts. One significant advantage to bringing a district court suit is that the decision maker is an elected judge, rather than the Comptroller. A district court suit also gives the taxpayer better control over the timing of the proceedings that may allow for a quicker resolution, providing certainty as to the tax results for future transactions. For more information on procedural options available to taxpayers, see Challenging State Tax Assessments: Choosing Your Battleground by Jimmy Martens. | 2019-04-26T05:37:31 | https://texastaxlaw.com/blog/comptroller-handout-fails-to-address-taxpayers-right-to-bring-protest-suit |

I had so much fun with these, I just had to post some more. Thanks, Debbie!
When my friend, Debbie, texted me a photo of the old boots she had just bought, I knew I had to photograph them before they became part of one of her art pieces. I had so much fun playing around with them for some still life and macro shots. As I mentioned last week, one of our challenges for BeStill 52 was to use a unique vessel in a still life; I think the boots were up to the challenge!
The first and third photos were edited using Kim Klassen’s darklight preset; the middle is almost straight out of camera.
Linking up with Texture Tuesday today.
It’s May! When I was teaching, May was a big CRUNCH month: testing, Open House, Authors’ Party, Mother’s Day presents to make, field trip, parent helper gifts, student gifts, end of the year party, report cards, room pack-up, etc. etc. It makes me tired just to think of it! Now, May is SPRING, for sure, and summer isn’t far behind. And in Arizona, I know monsoon season is only 6 weeks or so away!
Our latest lesson for BeStill 52 asked us to find an unique vessel for flowers or whatever to use in our stills- so I thought of this new teapot I bought this week to replace the cracked one, which didn’t make the cut when we moved. Turquoise is becoming one of the colors I love to use in our Arizona house, although my husband thinks it doesn’t match our multicolored walls. So far, I’ve acquired Mason jars, a bowl, a lantern, and now this teapot in shades of turquiose. I just really love the color and am so glad that it’s popular again!
In my life, a teapot isn’t an unusual vessel for flowers, but I do have an idea for another take on this challenge. Stay tuned!
Linking up with Kim’s Friday Finds today.
One of our recent assignments in Bestill52, was to create a still life in or on a crate. I have had two pepsi crates since our early married days. One is for individual bottles; the other is for 6 packs, I think. Because this was before the days of shabby chic, we stained the crates to make them darker (and to go with our antiques). They hung on our walls in each of the places we lived, until we moved to our Arizona house. I haven’t quite decided what to do with them here, but they work well for still life props.
All 3 images were taken with the Lensbaby and Edge 80 optic.
Our latest assignment in BeStill 52 was to create a side lit vignette with an organic theme- wood, twine, natural materials etc. I confess I didn’t take a lot of time with this, because the garage was FREEZING; I didn’t even open the door, but used the little windows in the garage door for light. And of course I was limited to my iPhone (but I’m hoping to have my camera back in a week!). I edited the photos in Lightroom with Kim’s organic preset, and called it done.
Here is another slightly different version of the above image- slightly different, because I edited it for Instagram in Snapseed and Stackables (my new favorite app). I used Snapseed to selectively lighten and darken parts of the image and Stackables to add tones and texture.
These photos were for the latest BeStill 52 assignment, where the “spark” was a bunting. I used stars, which I clipped to twine and hung on a beadboard background. All photos were taken with my iPhone and edited in Stackables. This app is a lot like Mextures (which has been a favorite of mine), and I’m beginning to like it a lot. Because it is Tuesday, I brought all images into Photoshop and added some of Kim Klassen’s textures: hughes, simple, and chill (last photo only).
I’m attempting to do a bit of catch-up on my lessons from BeStill and The Studio. The first image is for Lesson 33 in BeStill52 (and for Texture Tuesday). The assignment was to create a still life using lemons or other citrus fruit, create a bit of a story, and include varying heights. Well, my story is that lemons were being sliced (you can invent the rest. . .).
The image below is for Texture Tuesday (no real props, no varying heights, and no story).
Both photos were edited with textures from Kim Klassen’s Cloth and Paper collection.
The latest Be Still-52 assignment was hanging bottles. Whaaat? In Kim Klassen’s beautiful vintage home, she hung a bottle with a rose in it from a hook on a door- and it looked perfectly natural- and beautiful. I was running around, hanging my little medicine bottle everywhere- and ended up with a serious case of the giggles. Needless to say, this one did not come naturally to me. I, perhaps, should have interpreted the challenge more loosely and come up with something more “me”, but, oh well, I did have some fun with it.
I wonder what the neighbors thought of me hanging this bottle in a tree?
In case you are wondering, the first image was shot with the Lensbaby Edge 80; the one outside was with my 35mm lens.
This may look like a very simple, ordinary still life to you- but to me it represents a breakthrough!
Mastering the combination of appropriate aperture, manual focus, and correct tilt of the Lensbaby has been a challenge to say the least. To create this still life, I had some seemingly simple goals. I wanted window light, soft focus on the window and edges of the photo, and, most importantly, the face of the little girl figurine/vase to be in focus. It was the last goal that was, of course, the most difficult. Out of the 31 photos I snapped, two had good focus on the face. This actually represents improvement to me!
I wasn’t thinking I would use the Lensbaby on still life, but now I see that I like the effect- and that, with lots of patience, I can create the correct focus and the amount of blur I want. Yay! In fact, still life is probably what I SHOULD be practicing on, because it is, well, STILL!
This was taken with the Sweet 35 optic at f/4. Textured with painterly and chill by Kim Klassen.
1. I didn’t expect to find so many still life photos among my favorites. And I was surprised to find so few black and whites. There aren’t many landscapes- not really surprised by that.
2. Creativity and productivity seem to ebb and flow. It was hard to even find a favorite for some months, and in other months I could easily find several. I need to remember this when I’m feeling uninspired!
My BeStill 52 group’s challenge for last week was to pick my favorite still life photos of the year (no number specified). I again chose quickly, relying on instinct, and came up with 14, which I arranged in a slideshow. You may notice that some of the images were chosen for both assignments.
The latest assignment in BeStill 52 was to shoot a backlit image of a chair in front of a window. I was stymied at first, because our windows are all tinted here to protect us from the Arizona sun, creating a difficult lighting situation for photography. Then I remembered the frosted front door window, which has un-frosted portions, letting in a bit of natural light.
Both images are textured with Kim Klassen’s anna texture for Texture Tuesday. | 2019-04-19T05:13:39 | https://melinda365.com/category/be-still-52/ |

AAA-games usually require high-end hardware, but the games industry has developed so much, that you can find true masterpieces even if you own an old PC. Some of these games can show nice graphics despite low system requirements. In this list, we collected nice games, which will run even on low spec computers. There are both new projects (Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, Surviving Mars) and older online-games (Rocket League, PAYDAY 2) which are still relevant. But there are no such obvious hits from recent years, as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim or extremely popular Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
One of the most popular zombie apocalypse survival simulators on Steam. Despite its primitive appearance, there is a great deal of content in the game: extensive craft, heaps of weapons, vehicles, and most importantly, a multiplayer mode. This game is on the top of online games on Steam, so you can always find people to play with.
This indie masterpiece was created by only one person. At first glance, it may look like a farming simulator, but behind this, there is a true little remote world, where each resident is a unique person with his or her own preferences, stories, and tasks. Besides, there are fighting system and grinding like in a role-playing game. At the same time, developers always create new content, to players’ delight. Moreover, this game was a The Game Award and BAFTA nominee.
One of the best space strategies today, which was developed by masters of a genre — Paradox Development Studio, who also created such hits as Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis. Unlike other studio’s games, Stellaris is more user-friendly but it doesn't make it less interesting. As a head of a new space empire, you decide its future — whether it will take a strong position in the galaxy or will be absorbed by other factions.
A gore co-op shooter, where you fight against hordes of disgusting zombies. This game is similar to Left 4 Dead with team play and fights against PVE-enemies being core aspects of the game. But even AI can give it to you hot, requiring well-coordinated actions and knowledge of levels. Besides, you should notice that the game has good graphics in spite of low system requirements. In addition, Killing Floor 2 is constantly updated, adding something new for players.
A cooperative online shooter in the science fiction setting, distributed by free-to-play model. Since it is an MMO, you have to grind a lot, but developers tried to make this process engrossing. For example, levels are procedurally generated, so every new walkthrough will be unique. Though Warframe didn't become so popular, it has its own audience, so it won’t be a problem to find people to play with. Also, you should pay attention to quite good graphics.
Paladins looks a lot like Overwatch, being a shooter with various heroes fight against each other using a range of abilities. This game was released as free-to-play, so it managed to find its own audience. The game came out as dynamic and colorful. Besides, developers maintain interest to it, pleasing gamers with new content.
One of the best town planning simulators. Players will take on the role of a mayor and build a dream megalopolis, starting with a small village. You'll be responsible for almost every sphere of the city. One of the peculiarities of the game is the transport system, which moved from Cities in Motion — the series developed by the creators of Cities: Skyline. In addition, the gaming community created a great number of mods, greatly expanding the original game.
A unique co-op criminal simulator, where you're going to organize robberies and many other crimes while trying not to get shot by the cops. The game requires well-thought-out team play or you won’t achieve anything. PAYDAY 2 can boast good graphics and passable online, that's why it doesn't leave the top of Steam.
One of the best Second World War strategies and, perhaps, one of the most difficult games in this genre. Paradox Development Studio doesn't spare players and created a game with a high entry level. That's why not everyone will admire Hearts of Iron 4. But if you manage to adapt, you'll see a profound strategy, where choosing one of the countries, you are able to lead it in any way, making your own history.
Terraria is the pearl of sandbox-games. Huge gameplay abilities compensate primitive graphics. You can explore the world in any direction — get up in the sky or dig the way to hell. You can build your own huge palace and craft a great number of items and weapons, which can help you to fight against diverse enemies and bosses. With an opportunity to play with friends, a procedurally generated world and regular updates every new game will be different.
Are you tired of role-playing games with fearless and almighty heroes, who can go through any trial with ease? Then you should have a look at Darkest Dungeon, where heroes fall ill, are liable to stress and many negative effects. The game represents itself as a tactical RPG, where your party should pass through very dark dungeons trying not to go mad. In addition, this game has a reputation not only for gameplay but also for its atmospheric visual style. As a result, Darkest Dungeon doesn’t need a high-end PC to look great.
It's an Action RPG, which is rather like Diablo. In Grim Dawn, there is a dark gothic atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic world, an interesting class system resembling Titan Quest, diversity of weapons, various bosses and crowds of common enemies. Mostly, the gameplay is simple, and you are to fight most of the time. However, if you like such kind of a gameplay, you should definitely try Grim Dawn.
In this game, you are to govern survivors to build a colony on some unknown planet. You have not only to build dwellings but also to craft all kinds of items and monitor people's needs, gradually exploring the environment. RimWorld has a reputation for creating a great number of stories and situations with the help of a special AI-teller, which generates events based on how a player develops.
Factorio is a unique simulator of factory building. Starting with manual production, you'll create huge industrial complexes, where you can produce a big range of items. But there will be malcontents and you'll have to get into combats. In addition to the game’s broad opportunities, you can install a large number of modifications. Online mode allows to play Factorio with friends.
A survival simulator in a boundless water space. Everything you have is a small raft and a hook that you can use to pick up marine debris. Gradually, you can transform your raft into something resembling a ship and arm yourself to confront the shark — the main enemy in the game. From time to time you'll come across islands and abandoned rafts — they are small but contain valuable resources. There is no main aim in Raft whatsoever, you are free to do everything you want. In spite of the early access, the game has earned high popularity and continues to develop.
A card game set in the universe of The Elder Scrolls. Its gameplay is very similar to Hearthstone — you choose a card deck and fight against your opponent face to face, annihilating his hero. There is no class system in the game, so you can compose your deck from various types of cards. Besides, TES: Legends contains a story mode, revealing new details about the universe.
A sequel to one of the best old-school role-playing games of recent years. The game has got improved graphics and acquired a lot of content. You and your team of various heroes explore a huge archipelago on a ship, which you can improve to win sea battles. But in the first place, it's a role-playing game with a well-developed tactical battle system, complex leveling up system, well-designed epic plot and dialogs, and a spirit of adventure.
A unique police officer simulator, where you act as a chief of the police station and have to solve problems of a district while trying to earn $500000. You'll have to rule over the state, answer calls, and protect yourself from the corrupt mayor. Meanwhile, the main character will immerse in a grim story, where it’s you who is responsible for his fate. Look for detailed guides about investigations here.
It's a beautiful and cute puzzle platformer about Yarny — a kitten-like creature made of red yarn. Puzzles and game mechanics are based on using the yarn, which constantly unravels during the walkthrough. Losing too much of the yarn can lead to Yarny’s death. But besides the gameplay, the game is notable for an interesting and unusual plot as well as spectacular graphics, that's why no one could definitely remain indifferent. In June 2018, the sequel was released allowing to play together with someone else. However, system requirements are much higher.
It's an unusual sports simulator, where you play cars instead of players. There are several sports to choose from: soccer, basketball, and hockey. Dynamic gameplay combined with well-designed online modes allowed the game to become a true hit. Rocket League received awards at The Game Awards and BAFTA.
While scientists debate about the time when we can colonize Mars, some developers create games on this subject, in order that we could dream of what it will look like. For example, Surviving Mars, where gamers are to organize their own colony and keep it safe, controlling the expansion as well as colonists, building accommodation and setting them to work. If you like economic strategies, you should try this game. Here you can find a Starting Guide for the game.
One of the most famous strategy game series. Years pass, but Civilization is true to itself, allowing gamers to turn history as they want to. Do you want to make citizens of The Russian Empire Buddhists? No problem. Do you want to get ahead of another civilization in the development and fight using tanks against Roman spearmen? Go ahead. All this contains tactical profoundness and extensive opportunities. In fact, Civilization 6 sticks to the same recipe which has been elaborated for decades. If you like global strategies, you can miss Civilization 6 under no circumstances.
MMORPG, which tells about events that took place 1000 years before the Skyrim story. Players are to choose one of 3 factions (each of them includes 3 races), which try to obtain as much influence in the Empire as possible. Players will participate in a great amount of PVE and PVP content, among which are large-scale sieges. Besides, developers added well-designed missions, which marks The Elder Scrolls Online out other games of this genre.
It's a very dark indie in the survival horror genre. A player has to survive in a changeable open world. During afternoons you can search for resources and supplies, but at nights you have to hide and defend yourself from hideous monsters. Despite its plain visuals, the game is very atmospheric and can scare even without realistic graphics and large budgets.
At first glance, the game is simple enough. You play as a monarch, who makes diverse decisions — you're to do it all the time. Nevertheless, every decision has consequences, which elevate the kingdom to greatness or ruin it. There are 4 rates in the game you should support — religion, people, army, and treasury. If one of these rates starts to fall or increase, wait for a disastrous outcome. That's why you have to maintain strict balance with your decisions.
2D indie action with elements of role-playing and platform games. Explore a mysterious world and fight against enemies (more than 100 different types) and bosses. Level up your character gradually and unlock new skills. Moreover, Hollow Knight looks great and very dynamic. This game was appreciated by players and the press and received several prestigious awards including the BAFTA Games Award.
A role-playing game by the developers of such indie masterpieces as Bastion and Transistor. You are to become a leader of exiles and lead them to freedom through a mysterious purgatory. The game shows an interactive story, where even defeat in a battle is a part of this story; that's why every walkthrough becomes unique. In addition, the game looks very atmospheric and unusual and lets you fight against another player.
A real-time strategy, where you have to rule a Viking village: develop and to keep it from getting destroyed by other tribes or monsters. You can also fight against other players or follow an interesting storyline, which will keep you busy with various missions and tell about Northgard continent.
It's an interesting platform game about Madeline — a red-haired girl, who overcomes dangerous obstacles in order to climb to the top of Celeste Mountain. You are to pass through multiple different challenges, which fans of old-school platform games are fond of.
An extremely beautiful platformer with a touching story, where the main hero needs to save the Nibel forest. The game is set in a fantasy world full of fairy-tale creatures; however, not all of them are kind. You have to pass trials which are changing constantly, that's the reason why your walkthrough will be multifarious. Graphics make it one of the most beautiful indie games. In 2016, the game got a prestigious BAFTA Games Award. | 2019-04-24T18:56:42 | https://en.ostrog.com/ori-and-the-blind-forest-22612/ |

Today it’s our ninth wedding anniversary. On this day, back in 2007 surrounded by our friends and family, my lovely husband Shilts and I both said “I do”.
Those nine years seem to have flown by and yet we’ve crammed quite a bit into those years with job changes, successful completion of uni courses and various other hobbies and part-time jobs keeping us occupied along the way. Not to mention the arrival of our beautiful little boy who is our absolute world and has made us into a fantastic little family.
To celebrate our nine years of marriage, we’ll be having a toast later today as we enjoy a day at one of our favourite beaches. If the sun could shine for at least an hour, we’ll be happy.
For those in the know, nine years of marriage is often acknowledged and celebrated with pottery and I couldn’t think of anything better than to take a trip up the M6 to visit the factories of one of my all time favourite designers, Emma Bridgewater.
Shilts and I are pretty easy when it comes to gifts. We like to acknowledge special occasions with a card and a gift and for the last few years, I’ve bought him a new football shirt for his beloved Walsall FC and I’ve had something equally as exciting to me. I did used to buy sentimental and romantic gifts but to be honest, they’re gathering more dust than any football shirt has so I’m happy to gift him with something he’d like and use rather than hide away because it’s not really his thing.
My lovely husband knows I’m extremely fond of the lovely designs by Emma Bridgewater so let me indulge in sheer giddiness yesterday as we had a look around the factory and got to buy some seconds from the factory shop. There’s also a tea room on site which serves the best cup of tea from an EB teapot into EB mugs with EB milk jugs! It’s dreamy!
We had a lovely morning exploring and eyeing up the beautiful designs. I did spend far too much money but had been saving up so I could treat myself for the occasion.
Whilst I was pouring over the pottery, Shilts and Olly were outside in the garden checking out the chickens. There’s a fabulous little garden to the rear of the shop that is perfect for waiting husbands and bored children, ha!
So today, I celebrate nine years of being MrsShilts (Mrs Emma Shilton) and married to a wonderful guy who lets me indulge in pottery fantasies and spend hard earned cash on pretty mugs and plates! It’s a good job he loves me.
Happy 9th Wedding Anniversary Shilts, thanks for putting up with me (and my pretty pottery) you make me so very happy and I love you very much.
Aw what a lovely post. Congratulations on your anniversary! I adore the teapot, so pretty! I recently broke my teapot and hate being without one! | 2019-04-19T00:50:40 | https://www.mrsshilts.co.uk/2016/08/celebrating-nine-years-marriage/ |

However, Applied Materials has reported strong revenue in Selective Etch and Olympa ALD (>USD 230M) Possibly they have some advanced Spatial ALD technology up the sleeve also for OLED encapsulation.
Tight supply of a critical piece of OLED equipment from Canon Tokki will limit OLED production in 2017 and impact Applied Material's sales of supplemental equipment.
Applied Materials also is facing strong competition as its deposition technology is being supplanted by Atomic Layer Deposition at Samsung Electronics and LG Display.
As much as $1 billion in display equipment from Applied Materials could be cancelled in 2017.

The ALD for Industry workshop is coming up in Dresden 17-18th of January 2017 organizes by EFDS and ALD Lab Saxony - IHM TU Dresden & Frauhhofer IKTS with support from NaMLab, von Ardenne and Globalfoundries and very many sponsors from the ALD industry!
Beneq reports that their equipment has been used in the creation of record-breaking black silicon solar cells, and we have over the years been involved in many projects developing high power solar cells. Lately, we have been working mostly with rear surface passivation of solar cells.
PERC solar cells are a type of high efficiency solar cells where the electron gain of the cell is improved with a passivating film on the rear side of the cell structure. The complete term is Passivated Emitter Rear Cell. The PERC manufacturing technology has become more mature and cost effective, and PERC cells are now causing a buzz in the industry.
In a recent article, 20.8% industrial PERC solar cell: ALD Al2O3 rear surface passivation, efficiency loss mechanisms analysis and roadmap to 24%, which was published in Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, the authors present a cost-efficient PERC roadmap at industrial level. In the paper, key processes of ozone based ALD Al2O3 rear surface passivation are presented, resulting in 20.8% PERC cells made with an industrial process. The equipment used in the study was Beneq’s P800 industrial ALD reactor.
Beneq is a leading supplier of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment and thin film coating services. Beneq equipment and thin film experience is used for example for improving the performance and durability of electronics, optics and solar cells, and protecting materials humidity and corrosion, as well as in many emerging thin film applications.
We employ a wide range of professionals as well as work tightly with for example sales agents and distributors. We offer a possibility to be part of an ambitious team of professionals and a chance to work in a company doing truly international business. At Beneq you can utilize your competences and learn more every day!
Usually, most of people want to make their costly articles and valuable electric devices more unique and more outstanding. In order to meet these requirements, ALD technology could provide goods with higher quality and more functions like anti-tarnishing, anti-wear and anti-biotic effects as well as more conspicuous colors by thin film interference phenomena. NCD, a next generation technology leader of solar cell, display and semiconductor manufacturing systems, demonstrated several precise color coatings on various samples with multi laminating metal oxide thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition.
The Essential Macleod software was used to estimate various color coating results, and most full visible range of colors could be obtained by controlling thicknesses of metal oxides with their light interferences and reflections. The various structures of five nano-laminated thin films of Al2O3 and TiO2 were designed in advance and the evaluated colors corresponded well with the simulated color spectrum results.
The parts of a watch band that were coated at a low growth temperature of 100°C using Lucida series ALD, show different, bright, warm, metallic and mirror-like colors of purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red, that are presenting nearly full rainbow colors.
The back cover of a smart phone deposited by ALD shows the decorative red color with incident angles at 0° and gold one with incident angle at 90°. Also the colors are changed with various view angles, because the relative thicknesses of the layers are varied with the incident angles of light and then the light waves traveling through the thicknesses characterize their own colors matching the wave lengths.
ALD technology is a great method to provide various functions like anti-tarnishing, anti-wear and anti-bacterial effects as well as tailed decorative coatings on very complicated figures like 3D objects at low temperatures and the dominant film quality without particles and pinholes and also the application of ALD decorative coating has huge markets such as automotive, electronics, jewelry, medical device, sporting goods, watch and other advanced coating products. Even though there are these many advantages and potentials of ALD decorative coatings, ALD technology has not been well industrialized until now because of its low productivity and high product cost. However, NCD has developed the highest throughput and the largest-area ALD technology such as Lucida GS and GD Series ALD, so enables to easily provide remarkable ALD systems for economic decorative mass production coatings for customers who want to make their products to be outstanding and different.

According to news released by Umicore: Umicore is the first company in the world to have introduced a Sustainable Procurement Framework for Cobalt and is the first to obtain external validation for its ethical procurement approach in this area. It aims to minimize the risk of any connection between the cobalt in its supply chain – and subsequently that of its customers – and human rights abuses or unethical business practices. The framework builds on the specific approach to sustainable and ethical cobalt sourcing that Umicore introduced in 2004. Since then it has evolved to address specific risks linked to unethical mining practices, such as child labour and poor health and safety conditions.
Why is a Sustainable Procurement Framework for Cobalt important?
Cobalt is classified as a so called conflict resource and these are natural resources extracted in a conflict zone and sold to perpetuate the fighting. In the case of Cobalt that is the ever ongoing conflict in Congo.
According to USGS 2016 Cobalt fact sheet the total identified world terrestrial cobalt resources are about 25 million tons. The vast majority of these resources are in sediment hosted stratiform copper deposits in Congo (Kinshasa) and Zambia ; nickel-bearing laterite deposits in Australia and nearby island countries and Cuba; and magmatic nickel-copper sulfide deposits hosted in mafic and ultramafic rocks in Australia, Canada, Russia, and the United States.
Besides the the Semiconductor industry and According to USGS : Cobalt is a metal used in numerous diverse commercial, industrial, and military applications, many of which are strategic and critical. On a global basis, the leading use of cobalt is in rechargeable battery electrodes. Superalloys, which are used to make parts for gas turbine engines, are another major use for cobalt. Cobalt is also used to make airbags in automobiles; catalysts for the petroleum and chemical industries; cemented carbides (also called hardmetals) and diamond tools; corrosion- and wear-resistant alloys; drying agents for paints, varnishes, and inks; dyes and pigments; ground coats for porcelain enamels; high-speed steels; magnetic recording media; magnets; and steel-belted radial tires.
Semiconductor industry analyst and CEO of VLSIresearch Inc., G. Dan Hutcheson published a video assessment of the Producer® Selectra™ etch system Applied introduced in June.
Summary: "Applied Materials' new Producer® Selectra™ Etcher is reviewed. It's billed as a Radically Different Etch Technology. Does it stand up to the claims? It this video, we examine why it really is radically different from a technical standpoint and is arguably the most innovative new etcher to be introduced since the early 1980s. The focus is on these questions: Why is Applied's Selectra important? What problems do Applied's Selectra attempt to solve? Does it enables next generation devices?"
Here is an interview with Prabu Raja, group vice president, fellow at Applied Materials and general manager for the Patterning and Packaging Group at Applied Materials, by Mark Lapedus at Semiconductor Engineering.
Abstract submission is open for ALD 2017 and the Abstract Deadline is February 17, 2017. The conference will take place Saturday, July 15-Tuesday, July 18, 2017, at the Sheraton Downtown Denver in Denver, Colorado, USA.
Previously this year there have been a number of rumors that OLED display manufacturers will start using ALD barriers in production of next generation smartphone display. Now recent reports suggest that LG Display will start supplying foldable OLED displays for tablet sized smartphones (see tweet below) that can be folded to a typical smartphone format. Until now there has been no reports on ALD barriers for this one but one can assume that it is a good opportunity for ALD to be developed for these type of extreme display applications.
ETN News Reports : It is confirmed that LG Display has partnered up with Apple and google and is developing ‘out-foldable’ displays for Smartphones. It is going to start mass-producing them in 2018 and supply them to Apple, Google, and Microsoft. It is predicted that Samsung Display and LG Display will compete against each other in order to grab upper hands in markets for foldable displays.
According to an industry on the 15th, LG Display is currently developing out-foldable panels for Smartphones. Unlike how Samsung Display is working with Samsung Electronics’ Wireless Business Department, LG Display is developing foldable devices with outside businesses such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

"ALE has been lurking in the shadows for some time"
Following IEDM 2016 in San Fransisco - Here is a very nice overview of the leading ALE equipment supplier status and applications for FinFET & Gate-All-Around Transistors, 3DNAND, DRAM, Multiple Patterning by Jeff Dorsch, technology editor at Semiconductor Engineering.
"ALE has been lurking in the shadows for some time. It was first patented in 1988, but even today it is not needed for many etch applications. Its key role is in 3D NAND flash memory devices, where high-selectivity etching is needed for the high-aspect ratios with the hard masks, along with the channel formation and the staircase contact."
Having recently started ALE research myself working with Plasway Technologies GmbH and Lund Nano Lab on some really cool stuff, it is a big mystery why the ALD OEMs does not move into this field. It can only be explained by that plasma processing is very difficult - a lot of Voodoo! To start with you need wafer bias, which many PEALD chambers does not have and secondly ceramic chamber parts for plasma facing parts. Finally, reactive ion etching operates at much lower pressure and ALD OEMs does not typically integrate turbo pumps to their chambers.
Here is a new paper on atmospheric Spatial ALD from Kevin Musselman and co-workers at University of Waterloo in Canada. According to information at The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology web: "Musselman helped pioneer the use of atmospheric pressure spatial atomic layer deposition (AP-SALD) thin films in optoelectronic devices. He used these films to address key questions in the field of energy conversion and to develop new optoelectronic devices. Musselman produced thin films of metal oxide alloys with tunable optoelectronic properties with which he probed loss mechanisms in colloidal quantum dot solar cells, ‘hybrid’ polymer-oxide solar cells and light emitting diodes, and all-oxide solar cells. These metal oxide films were also used to produce new, colour-pure “hybrid” organometal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes."
Recently a network for Early Career Investigators (ECIs) has been formed within HERALD to help young ALD scientists to establish themselves and to stimulate collaborations. Our first event will take place at the joint EuroCVD-BalticALD conference, which will be held in Linköping, Sweden on June 11-14, 2017.

At ALD Lab Saxony we have excellent previous experience with employing the RASIRC technology for dry hydrogen peroxide delivery in High-k ALD processes for PV and Logic applications. That is why we are very happy to announce that RASIRC from San Diego, California will be sponsoring, attending and exhibiting at ALD for Industry 17-18th of January in Dresden Germany. This is an excellent opportunity to meet RASIRC and learn about their latest product release for safe and effective delivery of hydrazine for Atomic Level Processing. Please find the product fact sheet below.
RASIRC BRUTE® Hydrazine - Laboratory Version is specifically designed for universities and research institutes in development of Atomic Layer Deposition and Etch (ALD and ALE) processes with compressed thermal budgets. Hydrazine molecules can enable low temperature metal nitridation, opening up many potential avenues for advancements in High Aspect Ratio (HAR) and three dimensional structures grown via ALD and ALE.
“This new vaporizer package should enable researchers to investigate low temperature thermal nitride processes without a large budget.” - Jeff Spiegelman President and CEO of RASIRC.
Scientists working with TiNx, TaNx, SiNx, WNx, Platinum, Palladium, Cobalt or other new materials can benefit from using BRUTE Hydrazine. Additional benefits may be found from the generation of radical hydrogen and limited etching and surface cleaning effects.
BRUTE Hydrazine delivers water-free hydrazine gas (N2H4) to process in a controlled, repeatable manner. Preloaded in a non-volatile solvent, the Brute Hydrazine chemistry is packaged in a single use vaporizer (Figure 1) with metal seals, making hydrazine gas simple to connect and deliver.
Plasma and ammonia-based methods fail to meet next generation process requirements for lower thermal budgets and ability to act deep within high aspect ratio or 3D structures.
BRUTE Hydrazine solves these problems.
BRUTE Hydrazine provides a stable, reliable flow of anhydrous hydrazine gas from a liquid source in a metal sealed vaporizer (Figure 1). The liquid source combines anhydrous hydrazine and a proprietary non-volatile solvent, significantly increasing the flashpoint. This makes the chemistry safer to handle than anhydrous hydrazine.

Winnery-Sage.com has categorized wine into a number of "types", like Red, White etc.. Many Wineries tend to specialize in one or two of these types. Unlike focusing on a specific region or country, a Winery may make almost exclusively Red Wines for instance. Others in cooler regions may focus more on White Wines so the typical product is very heavily influenced by the region where the Winery gets its grapes. The possible entries for this field are Red, White, Rose, Blend, Sparkling, Fortified, Blends (something like a Meritage/Bordeaux blend or a Rhone blend) or Mix, meaning there is no specific type of wine that is a specialty.

One of the best devices made for baseball or softball defensive practice, Cimarron Sports' Pitchback Pro is a must-have for any ballplayer.
Balls rebound off of the net back toward the thrower as line drives or grounders, all depending which part of the net the ball is thrown to. So, not only is it great for perfecting throwing accuracy, players practice their fielding skills at the same time with each throw.
No, this isn't the cheap kind of pitchback net you can find at your local WalMart. The Cimarron Pitchback Pro features a sturdy 1.5 inch, 18 gauge galvanized steel frame and super durable, 100% weatherized nylon netting. Bungee tie-downs create the springback instead of the cheap springs that, stretch out, lose their spring and rust that you will find on cut-rate pitchback nets. In fact, there are no screws, nuts or bolts on the Pitchback Pro to rust, either!
Best of all, this not just a one player defensive drill net. Both sides of the 48" wide x 68" high Cimarron Pitchback Pro can be used simultaneously, providing a full 39 feet of throwing area. It's unique dual sided design makes it virtually impossible to tilt over!
THE CIMARRON GUARANTEE: Cimarron Sports guarantees 100% satisfaction with your Pitchback Rebounder. Products may be returned for a refund within 31 days of the date the product was shipped to you, when returned in accordance with the Cimarron Sports policies outlined in the Shipping & Returns section of this website.

Stanley Han, CEO and co-founder of Personal E-Motion private limited (PEM), gave a very informative and encouraging talk on the future of technology in education, as well as not-so-subtly hinting at the increasing viability of careers in computing and media as an alternative to the standard Asian parents’ ideal of what a good career path should be. He drew from his own experience, telling the story of how his father spent a large part of his savings to buy him an Apple computer when he was just a child, an investment that was considered very risky and possibly slightly insane at that time, especially given the impoverished nature of his family. His acceptance into elite schools, and finding success in an IT startup, had smashed all expectations, and broken traditional molds of how success could be achieved. He goes on to sell this alternative career path to the audience, noting the increasing demand for programmers and IT related jobs and urging parents to think outside traditional mindsets.
As a supporter and strong believer of societal progress through the medium of technology, this really impressed me. Learning programming and excelling in its application is as arduous and difficult a task as say, med school, and Stanley had made a name for himself by taking the steps to teach himself these skills even as a child. This proved again the tenacity and ability of children to learn autonomously if they had sufficient motivation; in a sense his very essence is a metaphysical representation of his work, and his product.
That’s not an advertisement banner link, but if it was, it would greatly help your child in his/her schoolwork, Stanley guarantees.
His start-up, PEM, engaged in extensive research on the inner workings of a child, and made the basic root observation that most children often put in tremendous effort to excel at, say, video games when they are confronted with it – not so much with homework. While it may seem like common sense (children like to play and not work), it seems that most children are adversed to schoolwork not because it is work and not play, but because of its inherent connection with strict, unrewarding treatment from parents and teachers without any real incentive otherwise. This is something that presents itself in abundance with video games. He also makes the observation that I have been making throughout the course of my posts here, that children DO thrive best in a semi-autonomous environment, and learn best through trial and errors made at their own individual speed.
A case in point: he shows results of studies made of children playing Angry Birds without any supervision whatsoever – in one case the first 5 shots missed their marks entirely and showed tell-tale signs of the player fooling around, but the next few attempts eventually got serious and in 20 shots, the child managed to achieve a ‘B’ rating. That wasn’t enough for him however, who replayed the level to eventually achieve an A+ rating.
Shadow dynamics: building on the earlier mentioned leaderboard system, puts children into competitive mindsets that spur them on to work harder to surpass their peers. Everyone benefits as a result.
Listening to his speech, one can tell that if Koobits is done properly, has the potential to be revolutionary. Inadvertently there were several misgivings, ranging from “over-encouragement” to worries that the syllabus the software teaches is different from schools, but Stanley calmly allayed these fears with well thought out answers. This proved that he and his team have attempted to brainstorm and troubleshoot as much ground as possible, and this makes the project all the more promising. Only time will tell if his system can pose as serious competition against the archaic “Tiger Mom” approach, but I for one will have faith that even if this social experiment fails, another more improved, more polished system will take it’s place. It is heartening to see change being wrought right before our eyes. | 2019-04-21T22:49:28 | https://afcc.com.sg/blog/entry/learning-in-a-social-network-environment |

The herb saw Palmetto can be beneficial in addressing common complaints of women of all ages, including menopausal and post menopausal. In women, saw palmetto is known for increasing libido, nourishing better hair growth (both head hair and pubic hair), maintaining firm, fuller (some will insist larger), and more shapely breasts, as well as enhancing vigor and sense of well-being.
Saw palmetto helps to prevent atrophy of vaginal and uterine tissue, an uncomfortable side effect of menopause.
Apparently it is best to use the extract, not the whole berry. Though no explanation of why was given, so I would investigate this more.
Healthier, thicker hair – combat thinning hair.
Also supposed to slow hirsuitism.

A Classical Apple Tart with the twist of cinnamon and grenadine flavoured syrup.
Our home-grown Indian Green apples have arrived in the market and I picked a kilo of those on Saturday from my organic store. Juicy, sweet with a tang and perfectly firm they were, exactly how I’d wanted them to be. My booty, well, might seem a little dull & battered when placed against the satin glow of its imported counterpart’s skin, but the taste was most certainty at par. Moreover since it is not imported and that it is locally produced gives me reasons to place it higher in the list of preference, and also its lack of luster could be because its organic produce, so definitely a healthier option, right. Like I said they were juicy and firm and not the crumbly soft variety, so as a matter of fact they were just right to deliver a delicious classic dessert, the French style Apple Tart with a hint of cinnamon and grenadine flavoured syrup.
Sift flour, sugar and salt together in a bowl, add the chilled butter cubes and blend in a processor two-three times until it appears crumbly.
Mix lime juice and water together and add one spoon at a time into the mixture and fold it into a lump gradually.
Pat the lump to make into a round, do not knead the dough just pat and roll into a small thick round about 5”. Wrap in a cling film and allow to set in the fridge for an hour.
Peel and de-core each apple. First cut into half and then into medium thin slices, do not separate the slices let them remain in stacks of half. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over five of the stacks and keep the apples in the fridge to macerate for ½ an hour.
Chop 1 remaining half of apple into small pieces. Take a non reacting pan and melt1 teaspoon butter, add the cinnamon stick, sugar, these small apple pieces and water and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the grenadine syrup and reduce the entire syrup to a thick consistency and turn off the heat.
Preheat the oven to 300oC. Line the base of a 9” tart pin with baking paper, grease the inner wall of the pun with melted butter and keep aside.
Lightly dust your work surface and roll the dough into an even flat round of size approx 10-11”. Preferably roll it over the cling film or a baking sheet for it will be easier to transfer to the tart pin later.
To transfer the crust to the tart pin, place your rolling pin at the centre of the flat dough, pick the cling film from two edges of one semi-circular part of the dough and lightly drop it over the rolling pin over the other half of the dough.
Then carefully lift the rolling pin along with the crust and slowly roll out over the tart pin. Gently press the crust at the base and tap around the wall of the pin. Trim the loose dough over the edge of the tart pin.
Now bake the base at a high temperature of 300oC for 5-6 minutes and remove from the oven. This will help the surface of the base turn a little hard and would hence not sag when baking with syrup.
Again turn the oven to preheat at 250oC.
Now remove the apples from the fridge, separate the stacks from juices and keep aside, add all the juices to the already prepared apple-sugar syrup and heat together for 2 minutes or longer till it thickens back.
Brush the lightly baked tart with melted butter and then spread 1/3rd of the apple-sugar syrup along with small apple chunks at the base. Arrange the stacks of apple closely inside the tart.
Drizzle with the remaining apple-sugar syrup, retaining 1 tablespoon syrup for final dressing.
Brush some butter followed with cold milk all over the filling and open sides of the tart. Sprinkle fine sugar all over and bake for 20 minutes at 220oC and the lower the temperature to 170oC and bake further for 10-15 minutes or until the crust turn nice golden brown.
Remove the side wall of the pin and set aside to rest on a cooling rack. Sprinkle the cut pistachios and the remaining apple-sugar syrup, cut into slices and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream or some thick whipped cream.
Add a teaspoon of corn starch to the syrup if it is too runny.
Do skip the grenadine syrup if you wish, it just adds a little colour and texture apart from its flavour that I quite like.
Do adjust the baking time depending on the oven you use, mine is a convection oven.
Don’t keep the syrup of a running consistency, keep it thick.
Don’t overwork or knead the dough. | 2019-04-19T22:54:34 | http://foodpunch.com/green-apple-tart-recipe/ |

Modern policing comes with a complex set of challenges and thus demands facilities that can accommodate those evolving needs. When Bonny Street Police Station, an ageing 1971 structure near the Blackpool waterfront was no longer fit for purpose, careful thinking was required in planning for a new building.
New building includes one of the UKs largest custody suites with innovative design to provide more secure environment for officers and those in custody.
“It’s great news for Lancashire Constabulary and the wider community that officers will start moving into the new state of the art headquarters over the next few weeks.
McBains Cooper provided architecture, mechanical, electrical engineering and civil and structural engineering support to the building’s contractor, Willmott Dixon, via the SCAPE framework.
28 September 2016 – Merlin Entertainments has appointed Minimise Solutions to complete a three-month water and energy efficiency and compliance review of the iconic Blackpool Tower.
The famous tower in North West England was built in 1894 and is 158m high.
The trial will run until October 2016, when a full report analysing all data will be provided by EEVS Insight, the UK leader in IPMVP measurement and verification services.
As part of the trial, Minimise Solutions has installed a real-time granular monitoring system. This has been linked to both water and electricity meters and is monitoring and collecting data from specific circuits, facilities and equipment.
The system will collect data from across the entire estate, which incorporates five attractions: The Tower, The Tower Eye with the associated SkyWalk, The Tower Ballroom, The Tower Circus and the Tower Dungeon. It also includes a 4D cinema and is home to a wide range of places to eat and shop.
Under the trial, Minimise will monitor existing lights, providing the information needed to inform the cost profile and identify potential savings that could be achieved by upgrading to energy efficient LEDs.
Boiler optimisation opportunities will be reviewed and washroom water and energy use will also come under scrutiny, with toilet flushing and hand dryer data captured in key areas.
Reducing water and energy consumption in high use washroom areas represents a real opportunity for Merlin. To inform washroom efficiencies, Minimise has installed a number of new water and energy efficient products across the site. These include an Energy Efficient Hand Dryer and three waterless urinals.
Data from these new systems is also being captured by the Minimise Monitoring System to provide Merlin Entertainments with comparative data at the end of the trial.
As well as water and energy efficiency, the Minimise team is also reviewing water management and compliance with a specific focus on legionella. Minimise will consider current compliance regimes across the estate, identifying whether remote monitoring and recording could be used to drive improvements and improve facilities management productivity.
The trial runs from July to October 2016.
This structure is the 16th tallest free-standing structure in the UK at the time of writing (2014). | 2019-04-21T13:15:02 | https://www.e-architect.co.uk/manchester/blackpool-building |
50% of Australians don't know their blood group. You can find out your blood group with this simple blood type test.
A blood type test is often done before a person gets a blood transfusion and to check a pregnant woman's blood type. A blood type test may also be done to see if two people are likely to be blood relatives.
Blood groups are extremely important when receiving a blood transfusion. There are some blood groups (eg group O Negative, the ‘universal donor’) that can be given to almost any other person. However other blood groups (eg group AB) must only be transfused to people of the same blood group in order to prevent a potentially fatal transfusion reaction.
Blood types are either A, B, AB, or O, and Rhesus (Rh) positive or negative. A blood type test determines which of the eight most common blood types a person is: A+, A-, O+, O-, B+, B-, AB+ and AB-.
You inherit your blood type from a mix of your parents’ genes. There are eight main blood types, organised through two combined systems. These systems are ABO (blood types A, B, AB or O) and Rhesus type or group (positive or negative). Your blood type is a combination of these two systems. | 2019-04-24T15:01:13 | https://www.i-screen.com.au/tests/blood-type-test |

Before we dive into insight about what precisely a salve is and what it is used for, we should talk about topicals. The topicals are cannabis-implanted balms, oils and moisturizers that are absorbed through skin for restricted alleviation of soreness, pain and irritation. In rundown, they are natural and powerful skin and health care items that can relieve anything from muscle soreness to dermatitis without any psychoactive impacts.
Salves, balms, oils, tinctures, butters, lotions, creams, moisturizers, these are the terms usually used in the cannabis commercial market. With the end goal of this article we will talk about what a salve is, the manner by which they are made, what conditions they treat, how they work as well as the distinction between CBD oil and CBD salve.
There's probably going to be a great deal of perplexity out there with regards to understanding the rundown of the topical cannabis alternatives that are accessible on the internet as well as on the racks of cannabis dispensaries. That is the reason we chose the time had come to clarify as completely as possible all that you want to know about the CBD salves.
With the fundamental information and a little research, you will find that learning the lingo as well as separating between this cannabis-related things isn't as daunting as it seems.
Numerous recreational users and medical patients are attached to topically directed cannabis for a few reasons, yet particularly because of the restricted pain relief with the discomfort it gives them. Know about what CBD salve is and what are its advantages, uses and everything that you want to know about it.
Topical cannabis arrangements have really been used for centuries, and have been linked to ancient Europe and Egypt, where they were used for the disinfectant, anti-infection as well as pain easing properties to treat skin infections, bacterial diseases, localized pain and foot inflammation. Unfortunately, the modern society has a habit for evading the home grown customs of the forefathers, however as medicinal cannabis’s fame is expanding, so we’re currently observing the re-emerging of topical applications.
The vast majority use the CBD salves to get the helpful advantages of cannabis, without the psychoactive symptoms that are found in different techniques of delivery. Actually, the CBD salves contain less than the required 0.3% lawful limit of THC.
As to CBD lotions and CBD creams, the main contrast amongst them and the salves, ointments or balms is that moisturizers and creams make use of a small amount of water along with the moisturizing agents in the bases; balms and salves just use the fatty oils along with the wax as a base, without water. Obviously, this account for a distinction in the consistency more than anything else, the actual useful contrasts, which we will discuss about in later, lie more in particular fixings used as well as the quantity of CBD that is present in salve.
CBD salves are used for the localized pain relief with the discomfort, tension, inflammation and muscle soreness. At the point when the salve is rubbed into the skin, it can treat the conditions specifically underneath the skin. For instance, the individuals who suffer from joint inflammation can apply the cream directly to the affected areas to reduce swelling.
How CBD salve is prepared?
For the wax part of base, the natural beeswax is the most well-known and common choice. In the event that you have never taken care of beeswax, it is a sort of sticky, thick, hard substance that must be dissolved down to have any kind of smoothness.
Vegetable waxes such as Candelilla wax that originates from the leaves of Mexico-local Candelilla plant and works well as well, but is most commonly used in the items that are intended to be purely vegan. In many cases, pure bees wax is normally a better choice.
The oil segment of base is the fraction that is in charge of "conveying" the drug in the salve. Whereas various distinctive oils could be used to prepare the CBD salves, the coconut oil has turn out to be the best choice till now, fundamentally on account of its high substance of the fatty acids. The more amount of fatty acids oil has, the more CBD it’ll possibly have the capacity to convey.
In order to infuse oil with the functionally active CBD, cannabis plant is grounded up into the fine bits but not in to powder, and after that it is steeped for a few hours at 200+ Fahrenheit in oil. The warmth decarboxylates cannabidiol into its active atomic form, and soon thereafter the fatty acids in oil could latch onto it.
When the oil is mixed with active CBD, it is then simply blended in (generally alongside some other fundamental oils such as Vitamin E) with melted wax to prepare salve. All the CBD salves ought to have the separated rundown of fixings on the container in which they come in, therefore when you are browsing around for alternatives watch out for which wax was used, which oil base is added, and so on. And furthermore, in case you are not sure from where the CBD is really originating from, simply contact the maker and inquire them about the details. Most of the brands make use of hemp seed oil as cannabidiol source (mechanical hemp is stacked with CBD), yet a many others use the hemp-infused olive or coconut oils also.
How CBD is consumed relies upon the method of administration. Regardless of whether CBD is ingested, breathed in, arranged under the tongue, or applied to the skin plays an imperative part in the uptake of the compound. We could easily see that how CBD that is ingested or infused into the body is consumed either through the digestive system or circulatory system however how does applying CBD to the skin interpret at the cellular level?
While the CBD is applied directly to skin never reach the circulation system, it could be retained through the skin's surface to associate with the nearby cannabinoid receptors. In reality, the skin is an amazingly active as well as utilitarian organ that acts as the helpful atomic vessel and rushes to absorb the lipid-based oils, for example, the ones that are used in the CBD salves.
When you apply the CBD salve topically, the cannabinoid-conveying lipids in oil base are transported crosswise over the skin cell layers, and soon thereafter the CBD starts its healing, remedial machanism on encompassing the cell as well as the tissue layers. This is the reason behind why the salves are the best method to treat the conditions, for example, skin conditions, for example, dermatitis and psoriasis, as you can apply the salve straightforwardly onto the affected region and start the treatment at the source of pain.
On a more physiological level, the CBD works by collaborating with the body's own particular endocannabinoid system known as ECS. The endocannabinoid system is thought to assume a critical part in the safe reaction of our skin. A vile resistant reaction might bring about irritation and this is the reason CBD apparently acts as anti- inflammatory for the inflammation related skin conditions. The ECS comprises of a system of naturally occurring cannabinoid or cannabinoids receptors that assistance control as well as maintain among some other things such as pain, skin sensitivity, irritation, memory, appetite along with immune response.
What the researchers have to say about ECS?
As indicated by the Dr. Tamas Biro, the chief of immunology at the University of Debrecen in Hungary, with respect to the particular nearness of the ECS in skin cells, it is expressed that dermal layers are " for sure equipped for creating endocannabinoids," and calls attention to the probability that "most, if not all, skin capacities are controlled to a specific degree by the neighborhood skin ECS."
Folium Bioscience's, Dr. Raj Gupta has additionally moved down this idea by expressing that "on the grounds that the skin has its own particular endocannabinoid system, simply the shallow application of CBD could be great."
How to use CBD salve?
In the first place wash the zone with the water and soap to evacuate any oil build up, excess dirt or already applied creams or salves. Doing as such will guarantee that there aren't any boundaries between the treatment and the skin, and will make the best condition for the absorption.
For the grown-ups, generously massage the salve on the affected region and let it absorb in the skin for a few minutes previously covering with garments or the bandages so it doesn't rub off. Make sure to observe the zone for any bad reactions such as redness, irritation, rashes, soreness, or knocks.
For the youngsters and elderly, their skin is thinner, so apply the slave in small amount.
Once you have applied, the Salve could take somewhere in the range of 1 to 48 hours to give relief, contingent upon the dosage, how frequently it is used as well as the seriousness of your condition.
While the CBD oil appears to offer healing advantages when ingested in any manner, for a few sorts of skin conditions, chronic pain, and other localized issues, direct skin application is the best choice since it enables the clients to go directly to the source. The direct application could likewise work speedier as it doesn't need to travel through digestive system first. The CBD salves are therefore the ideal choice for the conditions, like, inflammation, arthritic joint pain and the chronic skin conditions such as dermatitis and psoriasis. Anyway orally ingested types of CBD are more suitable for the conditions like nervousness, depression immune system illness.
There has been a ton of research done into the advantages of CBD in people. Actually, a research was published by a Dr from The University of Debrecen name Dr Brio last year, exhibiting how CBD applications acted as the pain relief and even diminished inflammation in the arthritic joint pain. The investigation went onto clarify that immediate use of CBD to the skin could possibly ease the pain related to arthritis.
What's more there has been broad research done on the restorative and healing impacts of CBD salves on the skin-particular ailments such dermatitis and psoriasis. They’ve likewise been known to have useful impacts for brief inconveniences such as wounds, burns, skin infection, rashes and general muscle soreness.
A similar report went ahead to praise the healing impacts of cannabinoids on "skincentric tangible capacities" such as general pain and tingle. Dr Brio brought up that the ECS likely controls skin aggravation. This finding was based on the aftereffects of a CBD administration research that he along with his group did on human skin cells developing in the Petri dish. They found that when an irritation or inflammatory challenge assaults the skin, it seemed like ECS would battle against it.
Different positives of using the topical CBD salves are that the client feels relief immediately without waiting for the impacts to kick in when contrasted with the consuming edibles. Moreover, since clients don't feel high from the topical CBD salves, they are able to continue with their routine and experience the pain relief anytime and anywhere. The topical technique is just used on skin. In this manner, it doesn't enter the body's circulatory system. Rather, it breaks the skin and the muscular barrier to give individuals with the localized pain lessening.
Generally speaking, the cannabis plant has an assortment of noteworthy purposes. Each compound and part of the plant conveys numerous positive advantages to the suffering people, which is one principle motivation behind why cannabis is used so broadly. Moreover, the leaves, the flower buds, and the trichomes are parts of the plant that are frequently used to make topical items. Unfortunately, as of now, there is no proof that demonstrates how topical cannabis items could deliver migraine and headache relief, however that will change with time.
Instead of ingesting CBD oils orally, which will influence the entire body and could take up to 2 hours or more to completely encounter the impacts, CBD salve is absorbed specifically into the affected zone by rubbing the treatment straightforwardly onto the affected skin zones for quicker and more focused impacts.
Since the salves are applied specifically at the source and don't need to travel through digestive system or experience numerous phases of ingestion and utilization, they work significantly quicker and have faster acting impacts as compared to the CBD oils.
The impacts of CBD salve can be seen very quickly while some orally-controlled oils might take well more than an hour to completely effect.
What to consider when looking for best CBD salve?
These days, individuals don't need to smoke cannabis to receive the rewards. The critical thing to recall with regards to CBD salve is that it is consumed through the skin and they won't get you high or even somewhat hummed so far as that is concerned.
In the event that you were doubtful to use hemp or other CBD-related items out of stress that you would get 'stoned', there is no need to be feared or tensed! The greater part of the CBD-containing items is derived from the industrial hemp and not from marijuana. Despite the fact that the two plants both have a place with the same organic class and species, hemp is the CBD-substantial strain of the cannabis that contains nearly no traces of THC, the compound that has is in charge of euphoric and has psychoactive properties, mind alerting highs.
As dependably as it may, it is critical to remember that while broad research has been done on the CBD salves as well as on its different advantages, they don't generally have precisely the same effect on everybody. Direct your own research, experiment with the various measurements and even with the different items to figure out which is suitable for you and your condition.
Ultimately, dependably practice caution when obtaining CBD salves or some other cannabis topical items. While there are various items available, there are additionally a bunch of absolutely false duds out there, 'fakes', maybe. Simply a year ago, the FDA issued cautioning letters to a few organizations for assembling "CBD items" that contained virtually none of the active cannabinoids.
CBD salves as well as the cannabis topicals are as yet a new item, however without any doubt we will see an exponential increment in the consideration paid to them in the mainstream dermatology over the next couple of years.
Are there any side effects of CBD salve?
There are no inborn symptoms of the CBD salve. All things considered, in the event that you have extremely sensitive skin, you might be oversensitive to a portion of the fixings, similar to beeswax, vitamin E oil or olive oil. In any case, truly, those fixings are useful for your skin, so it is far-fetched that you will have any issues.
That second one is the significant concern. In case you are taking a heart pharmaceutical, for instance, adding CBD to the blend will totally negate all the advantages that the heart drug brings to the table. Make sure to consult your specialist before ingesting any CBD item.
However, you are not going to eat the CBD salve, isn't that so? You are simply going to rub it on the skin. All things considered, you don't have anything to stress over. You won't feel any symptoms from CBD slave.
Instead of consuming the cannabis through vaping or smoking, you can use the topicals! In the event that you or somebody you know is battling with the localized pain in the certain area or areas of the body then the topical CBD salve would be an awesome technique to try out. Individuals who might be beginners to the cannabis as well as individuals who are hoping to feel relief from discomfort without feeling high should think about experimenting with the topical cannabis products, particularly CBD salve.
Not only the topical cannabis products are powerful, but they’re non-addictive, natural, advantageous as well as simple to use. Is there any reason left that why you wouldn't have any desire to give it a shot as well as prescribe it to a relative or friend needing limited relief from the pain? | 2019-04-22T12:59:46 | https://uk.formulaswiss.com/blogs/cbd/the-complete-guide-to-cbd-salves-creams-and-balms |

I can’t find a good link so here’s the story from Dow Jone’s Katy Burne. I think my best contribution is the last quote in the article. Enjoy.
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)–The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s decision Thursday to delay a controversial vote on how over-the-counter derivatives should be executed once the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul bill is enforced took many market participants by surprise.
Some speculated that in the hours leading up to the vote, CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler, a Democrat, received signals he wouldn’t get the support he was expecting from the four other CFTC commissioners. A majority is needed for any proposal to be published for public comment, and a second vote is needed for it to be implemented.
The proposal concerned a new class of trading platform called a “swap execution facility” brought about by the Dodd-Frank law. It would have required the vast majority of OTC derivatives to be traded on futures exchanges or the SEF alternative trading venues in an effort to improve pre-trade price transparency.
The four other CFTC commissioners are Republicans Jill Sommers and Scott O’Malia, and Democrats Bart Chilton and Michael Dunn. Dunn was thought to be the one with reservations, and O’Malia was thought to be opposed. When asked if he planned to vote against the proposal, Dunn declined to comment. Calls to O’Malia’s offices weren’t immediately returned.
In an interview with Dow Jones Newswires Thursday, Sommers said she wasn’t sure why the vote was delayed, but she was going to vote against the proposal because it was too narrow in scope.
“The Commodity Exchange Act defines a trading facility, but the new statute contemplates that SEFs could also be traded on systems or platforms, not just facilities,” she said. “By introducing these new undefined terms into this act, specifically regarding SEFs, it meant we should be looking at a broader model for executing swaps on SEFs than what exists in the futures world today,” Sommers said.
While the proposals released before the scheduled vote were in line with the commission’s earlier guidance, the details were thin and left undefined key terms that could force sweeping changes to the way derivatives are traded, potentially hurting liquidity in the $583 trillion market.
A CFTC spokesman declined to elaborate on the key sticking points behind the delay. The vote was pushed back to next Thursday along with other measures already scheduled for that day.
In an outline before the vote was delayed, the CFTC put forward three solutions that would dictate how swaps must be traded when the Dodd-Frank rules become effective in the second half of 2011.
In the first, swaps that trade with a certain frequency and “exhibit material transaction volume” would have to be executed on exchanges, which use “centralized limit order books” where live prices are made public and trades are executed on a screen for all participants to see.
In the second, swaps that trade less frequently, and that aren’t large enough to be market-moving trades called “block trades,” could be executed either on exchanges or what the commission terms “transparent request-for-quote” systems. Transparent RFQ systems would essentially involve prices being made public before a trade is executed to all participants, not just to the customer that requested the quote.
The third tier would cater to swaps that aren’t block trades, but are customized swaps that don’t trade frequently and wouldn’t be forced into mandatory processing by central clearinghouses. These trades could be executed in a multitude of ways: either by phone rather than on screen; on a request-for-quote SEF where the price is only visible to a limited number of dealers; on a more transparent version of the request-for-quote SEF with every participant seeing all quotes; or on exchange with full transparency.
Which bucket a trade falls into would depend on where the CFTC sets the barrier for what constitutes a block trade, and what it considers to be a trade of “material transaction size” based on average swap sizes lodged in industry data repositories. The most liquid credit default swaps insuring bonds tied to a single corporate-bond issuer trade only 20 times a day, for example, according to Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. data.
In Dec. 6 letter to the CFTC, electronic trading platform Tradeweb wrote that if the rules for SEFs are written too narrowly to make SEFs look like exchanges, they could force existing providers who could qualify as SEFs to unnecessarily change their business models. “The decision by the CFTC to continue debating the SEF rules reflects the importance and complexity of the issues facing the regulators,” said Lee Olesky, CEO of Tradeweb, in a statement Thursday.
The problem is that if dealers in OTC derivatives are required to post prices to all participants in the trading platform at the same time, even if not all participants can execute on those prices, dealers will adjust their prices to reflect the added risk associated with that information being in the public domain and to account for the costs of hedging out their own position.
With those artificial spreads in the market, swaps customers will end up calling a dealer to find out the real price, says Kevin McPartland, senior analyst at independent research firm TABB Group.
The first tier isn’t the issue: On standardized, relatively high-frequency trades, the margins are already thin so they would likely have migrated to exchanges anyway. Dealers call that business “flow” business.
The real battle ground is where the big money is–where quotes still allow for incumbent dealers to build in a profit, or spread, through the request-for-quotes system. According to research from the Swaps and Derivatives Market Association, an industry trade group advocating for derivatives reform, dealers make $60 billion annually from interest-rate swaps and credit derivatives alone by keeping prices private.
“RFQ works, so why are we trying to fix it?” asked McPartland. “It’s not a dealer conspiracy that regulators must rectify; it’s just the way the market works. And the RFQ model had nothing to do with the credit crisis,” he said. | 2019-04-22T13:20:05 | http://kevinonthestreet.com/cftcs-gensler-may-not-have-had-enough-votes-for-swap-trading-proposal-dow-jones-newswire/?shared=email&msg=fail |

Shampoo your head: Though it might sound weird, shampooing your head actually helps. It helps to remove trapped dirt and oil, and keep the scalp healthy. Also, as you massage your head while shampooing, it improves the blood circulation to the scalp. Any which way, shampooing is good even if you are maintaining a bald look.
Shave regularly: Once you decide to go with a bald look, ensure that you shave your head regularly, depending on your hair growth. It’s better you shave your head at the end of the shower after the skin has softened.
Keep it moisturised: This is the next step after shaving. Regular shaving will leave your scalp dry. It is important that you use a moisturiser after every shave to keep the scalp look shining and healthy.
Sunscreen a must: You might be used to applying sunscreen only on your hands and feet before stepping out. Now, you must make it a habit to do so on your shaved head as well. Apply more of it as the day goes by. A few other options are to sport hats or caps that go well with your attire. But why hide your new look? | 2019-04-22T00:26:41 | https://slottrends.com/2016/10/22/when-you-decide-to-go-bald-and-handsome/ |
I have to admit, I wasn't a huge fan of printed coordinated sets when they made a big splash last year. I would would either just go for the top or the pants, but never both! But after purchasing this super cute plaid cropped top from ASOS (pictured below), which happened to have matching pants AND a duster coat, I said "what the heck" and went for it. But only after the pants went on sale...and out of season.* So this is the first time I'm actually getting to wear the set, and you know what? I LOVE IT! Check out a couple of my favorite plain patterned looks and let me know what you think! Are you mad about plaid?
*Whether you're shopping retail or resale. buy items like coats, pants, blazers and dresses out of season while they're at their lowest prices. Chances are they'll still be just as fashionable and trendy by the time you're able to wear it. | 2019-04-24T04:34:05 | https://www.curveconsciousphilly.com/news/category/style |

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Kelly Clarkson’s song with this lyric was playing in my head recently, causing me to ponder the question: “But stronger in what?” The original quote is attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher from some time in the 1880s.

Innovation in the smartphone business seems to be stuck. Sure, we now have faster processors, screens with more pixels than the human eye will ever notice, better cameras, and even faster memory modules that allow us to do more tasks than ever before. Still, every smartphone is essentially the same, even when manufacturers try different materials or textures, colors and designs that try to defy the rectangular shape of the screen, we end up with just that, a screen in the front a camera in the back and a couple of physical buttons. Plus, even though components are getting smaller and thus smartphones are getting slimmer most of users won't be able to distinguish a few millimeters between the thicknesses of these devices.
Clearly the next generation of devices will be smaller than smartphones, therefore, making them easier to carry around. The internal parts of smart devices have become so small that they could fit a variety of accessories that we carry every day. One of the most common and easy to handle is the wrist watch, and so there were born, the smartwatches. While the concept is nothing new, we can now have these full-color touch screens with a lot of connectivity options in our wrists, since they certainly resemble the classic watch, they are being made with premium materials which might be the reason some users think they are a little overpriced for the functionality they offer.
A report from Bloomberg shares the opinion of Matias Duarte about this kind of devices. He is the designer responsible for the visually pleasing and much needed Holo Theme in Android 4.0 and now the brightly colored Material Design in Android 5.0, and while wearing an Android Wear device on his wrist, he basically said that smartwatches are not necessary right now, they are more focused on fitness or notification enthusiasts and even made a comparison with the bulky and not portable electric can opener in the sense that most of the people would agree that they don't need one "but it's nice to have". Still, he emphasized that as more devices become connected "your personal computer will be a series of devices that surround you" so smart devices will be treated just "like we treat apps today" so nobody would question about the accessories you would wear. | 2019-04-19T20:26:01 | https://www.androidheadlines.com/2015/04/matias-duarte-shares-opinion-smartwatches.html |

An evening at AMP with Ocean Orchestra and The Kennedys!
A small group of Washington Revels singers will join singer-songwriter/musician Jennifer Cutting and her Ocean Orchestra at this CD release concert of their newest recording, Waves. Those singers recorded back-up vocals for “Song of the Sun,” which is on the recording. They will join the ensemble to sing that song and “Steady as You Go,” a beautiful and poignant piece that Jennifer wrote as an affirmation of the cycle of life and the support of community during a loved one’s transition beyond. The remainder of the concert will feature Jennifer and Ocean performing the other songs on the CD, plus a performance by The Kennedys.
Washington Revels’ relationship with Jennifer dates back over 25 years, when Revels combined with her then-current British folk-rock band, The New St. George, to present 3 winter solstice programs at the Birchmere during the early 1990s. Revels singers have recorded other songs with Jennifer and performed with her at Strathmore and other venues. Together with Steve Winick, Jennifer is now a regular song leader for Washington Revels Pub Sings.
For more information and tickets, visit AMP by Strathmore’s website.

The 70UF7700 is one of the better priced 4K LED TVs in the market this year. This model forgoes some of the fanciest features such as Harmon Kardon speaks and the cinema screen (almost frameless) design. Instead it offers a better price for a 4K TV but still has some of the necessary upgrades like a TruMotion 240Hz refresh rate and the ultra cool and easy to use Magic Remote. If you remember the LED 7600 series, add the 4K resolution and you basically have this model. The 7600 has a very nice clear coat front panel for increased depth as well. marks the 3rd generation of LG's premium 4K LED TVs. A few key upgrades from previous 4Ks from LG include 4 HDMI 2.0 inputs, IPS panels for increased brightness and better side angle viewing, and Ultra Clarity for even better motion blur reduction. As typical of LG, the built-in audio quality is just about as good as it gets without a home theater system. HD to 4K upscaling is another high point since native 4K content is not widespread yet.
The 70UF7700 has nice clean lines and a small half inch bezel frame. There is an indention for the bezel frame which is absent in the seemless design of the higher priced cinema screen design TVs. But for the price difference I like this one better.
With an MAP price of $3999 and sale price of $3200, the 70UF7700 is priced relatively competitively although higher per square inch than the 65” version. We could see the price drop further this year in this larger size. This is a nice “bridge” model for those wanting to future-proof for 4K content arrival. It compares favorably in value terms with other offerings in the 4K market from Samsung, Sony and Vizio and Sharp. | 2019-04-19T01:02:59 | https://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lg-lcd-tv/lg-70uf7700.html |
CSKA pulled out a valuable victory in Barcelona on Friday night in an entertaining back-and forth game that saw 22 lead changes in 40 minutes. Neither team managed to pull away for majority of the night, and just the first half of the game featured 18 lead changes and 7 ties. CSKA had several players step up in this closely battled contest, but none bigger than the four-time All-EuroLeague guard Nando De Colo.
If not his best, it was at least De Colo's most clutch performances of this season. Not only for scoring 25 points and making a career-high and a CSKA club-record 7 three-point shots on just 10 attempts, but also for the how and when he delivered those blows.
Of those 7 triples De Colo made on Friday, five gave CSKA new leads, while another one, his fifth, came with Barcelona threatening to pull away and leading 59-50 in the third quarter. De Colo hit it from the left corner to snap an 8-0 Barcelona run, and the same shot sparked a 2-13 CSKA response that he capped himself with a last-second downtown dagger to give CSKA 61-63 lead going into the fourth quarter. Colo's seventh triple, midway through the fourth quarter, put CSKA up 68-70, giving the visitors the lead for good.
It was a stellar performance from the former Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy winner, who ranks ninth on all-time charts with 16.0 points per game while closing in on entering the Top 10 all-time scorers with 2,465 total points. And even though De Colo just once before hit 5 three-pointers in a EuroLeague game, this was a three-point performance most EuroLeague fans saw coming from De Colo. And few will be surprised if we see something similar from him again, soon. | 2019-04-22T20:08:18 | http://admin.euroleague.net/news/i/9f8lljfvjm6debg6/clutch-de-colo-sinks-barcelona-from-deep |
SWAG salutes the sadly departed comedy legend Robin Williams, who was found dead at his home at the age of 63 on August 11. Although Popeye was not a success, it was his first ever film role and we offer here a clip from it since it represents his Maltese connection. The production was filmed here in 1980. Indeed, Popeye Village is actually the film set from that movie. RIP to a brilliant comic actor who made all of us here at SWAG laugh whether he was playing an alien from the planet Ork or a singing and dancing nanny - with some fine, oscar-winning serious performances thrown in for good measure.
SWAG spoke to Narcy Calamatta, who worked with Robin Williams during the filming of Popeye. We asked him if he had any fond memories of the late comedy legend.
“When Robin Williams was in Malta filming Popeye, there was a conflict with the Director, Robert Altman. I wanted to keep Popeye Village as a tourist attraction, but Robert Altman didn’t trust me. He told me I wanted to use it for another film, but I insisted I was looking forward to a Popeye 2. | 2019-04-18T16:19:47 | http://www.swag.com.mt/en/articles/articles/275/robin-williams-a-personal-view-by-a-man-who-met-him.htm |

The materials you choose should always blend with the surroundings and other substances used in the garden or gardening, while providing the right area for the intended use of the patio. Consider the long run practically and maintenance of terrace materials carefully. Most people just think about materials in terms of the price tag but that should not become your only consideration. You don't definitely require the cheapest patio materials. On the contrary, you also need to think about what patio materials are going to go on for a long time and what kind of maintenance each type of material necessities.

The protracted conflict in Thailand’s deep south, since reigniting in 2004, has cost some 7,000 lives and is now driving a slow exodus from the region. Initially Thai Buddhists, a minority in the majority Muslim region and increasingly targeted by insurgents, were the first to leave; most headed north, where they make up the majority. But in recent years protracted violence and instability has also driven a growing number of Malay Muslims to look elsewhere, primarily across the border to Malaysia, where they have to make fewer cultural accommodations to survive than in Bangkok.
Nara’s father’s decision to move his family out of Narathiwat proved timely. Bombings in 2001 at the train station in Hat Yai and the border town of Betong were at the time relatively rare but signalled a new phase in the conflict between Patani Muslim insurgents fighting for a separate state against those whom they perceived as Thai colonizers.
At the same time, changes in the Thai government’s policies towards the deep south under then Prime Minister Thaksin in 2002 – which included dissolving the Southern Border Province Administration Center (SBPAC) and the Civilian-Police-Military Task Force 43 (CPM43), two institutions that had been credited with keeping the area relatively stable in the previous two decades – only made matters worse. As the situation began to deteriorate, martial law and emergency decrees were instituted, facilitating arbitrary detention, torture and extra-judicial killings of Muslims, mainly young men, including disappearances of Muslim activists.
In turn, indiscriminate attacks on Thai Buddhists, including teachers, hospital workers and Buddhist monks, became a key tactic of the insurgents. Killings would often be accompanied by leaflets demanding that all Thai Buddhists leave the area. By 2006, Thai officials reportedly estimated that 30,000 Thai Buddhists had left. According to national census data, Yala, the area with the highest number of Buddhists historically, saw its Buddhist population decline from 36 per cent in 1990 to 23 per cent by 2010.
‘We started to hear bad news,’ Nara reccounts. ‘Many of my parents’ friends died, they were officers, teachers, nurses. Then we lost one of our family members, my uncle in-law. He was a border patrol police officer who was shot in a terrorist incident.’ Only Nara’s grandmother refused to leave, asserting that her place would forever be with her land.
However, Malay Muslim civilians have borne the brunt of this conflict. Of the nearly 7,000 people killed since 2004, two-thirds of whom were civilians, some 60 per cent were Muslim. While Malay Muslim migration to work in Malaysia or study abroad has been practised for decades, the situation has been further aggravated as a result of the conflict and the discriminatory policies of the Thai state: given the lack of economic and educational opportunities, the psychological toll of the violence and continued ethnic profiling by security forces, many have decided they have no option but to leave.
Ethnic and religious similarities between the Malaysian-Thailand border populations have historically facilitated temporary migration for work in Malaysia’s stronger economy. A variety of industries have benefited from this labour, including agriculture, food processing, restaurants and domestic work, which used to be primarily temporary or seasonal work. Most Malay Muslims reportedly entered the country on tourist visas or utilizing a border pass system that has been in effect since the 1940s, waiving the need for a passport if they reside no further than 25 km from the border. Most do not have a work permit and are active in informal industries.
Given the informal nature of their work, it is difficult to get an accurate picture of the number of Malay Muslims working in Malaysia, but estimates from 2009 suggest that it is likely that at least 20 per cent of the working-age population of the southern provinces live or work in Malaysia. In another study, published in 2006, focusing on a community in Narathiwat, 70 per cent had family members who had worked in Malaysia and almost 20 per cent had at least one family member married to a Malaysian national. The general consensus is that migration to Malaysia is not only increasing, but also – particularly for women – taking on a more permanent character. In the same study, only 8 per cent of those over 70 years old had lived or worked in Malaysia, whereas almost 40 per cent of those in their teens or twenties had worked in Malaysia.
The increase in conflict has resulted in deteriorating economic and employment prospects for the SBPs. Malay Muslims experience on average poorer outcomes than their counterparts, including Thai Buddhists living in the SBPs, populations in the neighbouring provinces, people in Bangkok, as well as those living across the border in Malaysia. According to the Thai government’s National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB), in 2015 the poverty rate in the SBPs was at 33 per cent, compared to a national rate of 7.2 per cent.
Schools in the SBPs have been specifically targeted by the insurgents, with bombings and killings of teachers a regular occurrence. Schools are regularly closed due to the security situation and students endure constant psychological stress. In addition, there are limited opportunities for Malay Muslim youth to obtain a quality secondary education. Thai language skills are often lacking, and many do not pass the competitive national entrance exams; also, there are no quotas to guarantee minority placements. Many Malay Muslims complete their high school education at private Islamic schools, in order to accomodate Islamic study and practice, but the quality of the education either prevents them from gaining a university place or leaves them struggling if they are accepted.
While Muslims in the SBPs with higher levels of education may move to Bangkok for further education and employment – one recent study found that more than half of Muslim migrants from within Thailand living in Bangkok were educated to graduate level or higher – working-class or unskilled Muslims often do not choose to move north due to the cultural separation between themselves and the population of Bangkok, while their lack of fluency in Thai also prevents them from being hired outside the SBPs. Indeed, many young men report trouble finding work in Thailand as they are profiled by employers as being involved in the insurgency.
Arida, a Muslim 32-year-old mother of two, passed the national entrance exams after completing a private Islamic education. She studied at Pattani’s Prince of Songkla University, the only university in the SBPs among the top ten in Thailand. Her father, a village head in Narathiwat, was killed by insurgents in the early days of the conflict, leaving her mother to raise her and her six siblings. Some of her brothers are now addicted to drugs or mentally ill. Arida works in the non-profit sector, the only family member currently in employment, bringing in an income to support her whole family.
For many, however, a new life beyond the SBPs can bring benefits too. Young Muslim women who migrate to Malaysia have reported a new sense of personal freedoms, without being seen as being ‘Thai-ized’ or compromising their Muslim practices. Similarly, Malay Muslim youth who study in Bangkok report a reluctance to return to the south, as they have enjoyed freedoms to associate with the opposite gender and realize that they will have to return to a more strictly controlled environment once they are home.
Some, however, do not have the freedom to return to the SBPs. For those wanted by Thai security forces for suspected involvement in the insurgency, both higher level members of BRN (one of the main insurgent groups) and young men accused of committing crimes, Malaysia serves as an accessible location beyond the grasp of the Thai authorities. The Thai government recently announced its Bring People Home project, a potential amnesty programme for accused insurgents, but has yet to finalize the details in its negotiations with MARA Patani, the umbrella group currently engaged in peace talks with the government. For the moment, though, many suspected insurgents live in Malaysia without access to personal documentation and its benefits in Malaysia.
The dialogue between the government and MARA Patani has not yet led to any concrete solutions for ending the violence in the south and creating a framework for autonomy to realize the rights of Malay Muslims. Despite this, since the inception of the official talks, violence has been steadily decreasing in the SBPs and reached a record low in 2017. The government’s attempts to pour development money into the SBPs, however, are unlikely to make any real impact as long as even low-level violence persists.
For Malay Muslims, who have endured decades of assimilationist policies by the Thai state, the conflict is driven primarily by the denial of their basic rights as a minority group, particularly their political, cultural, educational and economic rights. But until these issues are addressed, it is likely that the exodus from their homeland will continue.

Polaroids are well and truly back. Instant photography has been bubbling along for a few years but a wave of nostalgia inspired by the likes of Netflix drama Stranger Things, coupled with a brand new Polaroid camera, is putting the distinctive square snaps back on the map.
The story of instant photos goes back to 1937, when Edwin Land founded Polaroid. The company popularised instant snaps but went bankrupt in 2001 and scrapped instant film production in 2008 as digital cameras took over.
Shortly afterwards a brand known as The Impossible Project bought Polaroid’s last factory and film stock. Since acquiring the Polaroid name this year, it has relaunched as Polaroid Originals with a new retro-styled camera, the OneStep 2 (£109.99).
Designed to resemble the original OneStep from 1977, the new camera takes both classic 600 film and Polaroid’s new i-Type film, and has a built-in flash, a self-timer for selfies and a 60-day battery life. But what exactly is it about instant photography that makes it so appealing?
The full article appeared in the 24 November 2017 issue of Metro and can be also be viewed in the e-edition.
The first thing you need to know about the Impossible Project Instant Lab Universal is that it produces Polaroid-style photos from your smartphone snaps. The second thing you need to know is that it’s a camera, not a printer.
Unlike the rather disappointing Polaroid-branded Zink printers, the Instant Lab produces actual Polaroid-esque photographs. That’s because Impossible Project cleverly bought Polaroid’s remaining factory a few years ago in order to manufacture its own film, which is designed to work with vintage Polaroid cameras and, of course, the Instant Lab Universal.
The original Instant Lab was launched in 2013, but only worked with the iPhone 4, 5, 5S and iPod touch. The new Universal model, however, is designed to work with more devices thanks to new “touch location technology”. This means it supports phones from Samsung, HTC and Google (Nexus), as well as the iPad. Screens need to be high-res (approximately 300ppi) and run on Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or above.
We’ve unleashed our inner hipster and have been testing the Lab using an iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 and the HTC One M8. It’s a lot of fun, like a big kid’s toy.
The Lab Universal sports a simple yet functional design, with a sturdy metal base along with a plastic bellows-style extendable turret with a phone cradle on top. The only controls you’ll find are the latch for opening the film bay door at the bottom – where the film cartridges can be easily slipped in – along with an eject button to pop out the exposed photo.
To the top are three sensors on the cradle – representing the touch location technology part of things – used to detect when a phone is placed there. For larger devices, such as an iPad, these act as essential points to communicate with the app and let it know which portion of the screen is in play, then re-adjust the photo’s placement on screen so the Lab can make a duplicate exposure of it.
A removable adaptor can be used with iPhones 4/4S/5/5S/5C, but for Android devices not everything is compatible just yet. The brand new HTC One M9 is one such unsupported example (we did try it out, but it was a no go). Check with Impossible Project for compatibility prior to purchase if you’re concerned.

For those of us living in large towns and cities, we rarely get to see the stars due to round-the-clock light pollution so it’s often assumed that photos showing spectacular starscapes have been produced in Photoshop. However, as the stunning pictures of the recent Geminids meteor shower prove, it is possible to capture incredible starscapes on camera, just as long as you step away from the street lights.
Professional snapper Andrew Whyte (@LongExposures) makes a living from doing just that – he’s one of the UK’s leading night photographers and is also well known for his quirky Lego man photos. We tagged along on an astrophotography shoot with him to learn how to shoot the night sky.
Where can I shoot the night sky?
While it’s possible to shoot the night sky in the UK, plenty of preparation is needed and that all starts with the location. Wide-field astrophotography – which involves capturing the night sky with a normal camera, without the need for a telescope – requires a location that’s largely free of light pollution.
These areas are known as ‘dark sky’ sites and can be found all over the country. It’s also a good idea to research the area and find out about any features – like buildings and monuments – that can be used as a foreground to your starry backdrop.
We took our shots around Douglas on the Isle of Man, but you can find out which sites are closest to you with a quick internet search. Dark Sky Discovery is a useful place to start.
‘I’ve found XCWeather to be fairly reliable for forecasting cloud cover, and timeanddate.com provides my lunar phases and timings. A guy known as @VirtualAstro does a great job of updating Twitter with information like the times of the International Space Station passing over and aurora alerts’.
While most cameras offer a range of pre-set shooting modes with some even including ‘night sky’ options, you really can’t hide behind these when it comes to astrophotography, says Whyte.

Lomography’s Lomo’Instant is the most advanced instant camera yet, and the result of a crowdfunded Kickstarter campaign.
With the rise of the selfie and concerns over cloud storage of digital snaps, Polaroid-esque instant cameras have made something of a comeback. This model from analogue camera expert Lomography is the latest version to hit the shops, but what sets it apart from the others?
The Lomo’Instant offers far more control than you get with any other instant camera, including a selection of removable lenses, different shooting modes, aperture control and the ability to take multiple exposures.
The first models went out to Kickstarter backers in October, and the Lomo’Instant is now available to everyone.
The Lomo’Instant sports a pleasingly retro design, although the box-like design means that it’s rather bulky. With the exception of the incredibly cool Fujifilm Instax Mini 90, instant cameras in recent years have tended to feature slightly ugly, uninspiring designs, but the Lomo’Instant is cool and blocky.
The camera sports a similar faux-leather covering to the Lomography Lomokino and Belair models, and is available in black or white. There’s also a model that’s covered real brown leather with a slightly higher price tag of £109. We like the white version best, as its shows off the minimalist design more, but the finish is rather prone to picking up marks and scuffs, and there’s no protective case available to keep it in.
The only accessory that is available – aside from the optional lenses which we’ll look at in more detail later – is a shoulder strap (£8.90), which is good news as it makes the hefty camera slightly less cumbersome.
As with most Lomography cameras, physical controls are kept to a minimum, but these all feel well placed and intuitive.

The Nikon D3200 is an entry-level DSLR with a friendly guide mode – ideal for fledgling shutterbugs that don’t know their aperture from their ISO.
Following on from its predecessor, the Nikon D3100, though not replacing it, the brand new Nikon D3200 has upped the ante for entry-level DSLRs, thanks to its show-stopping 24-megapixel sensor.
Going up against the likes of the Sony Alpha A65 and the Canon EOS 600D, the Nikon D3200 has got its work cut out when it comes to earning a place in ourBest Digital SLRs list.
The D3200’s lightweight chassis, which hasn’t changed much in design terms since the previous model, weighs in at just 505g (with battery and memory card) which means that it never becomes cumbersome, even after carting it around all day.
At 125 x 96 x 76.5 mm, the chassis isn’t too chunky, but still remains reassuringly sturdy and while Nikon makes no claims about waterproofing, the D3200 proved to be reasonably resilient to the elements when we tested it in the pouring rain.
The D3200 is available in conventional black or a shiny red finish, should you be so inclinded.
One of the key selling points on the new snapper is the guide mode. Enhanced since its inclusion on the D3100, this nifty feature is easily accessible via the top-mounted dial and holds your hand through the basics. Teaching you how to set up a variety of shots, it even includes examples of how the pictures should look.
For example, one of the tutorials shows you how to get the best picture of a sunset by tweaking the white balance to capture the red tones. Follow the suggestions, alter the settings and the picture will change to reflect how the finished article will look. There may be a few kinks to iron out (such as the overeager pop-up flash), but it’s a damn good starting point for newbies.
You can read the rest of the article at T3.com (originally published 17 May 2012).
1. The cost of buying and processing film may be relatively high to those who are used to fitting hundreds of snaps onto an SD card, but the camera itself needn’t cost you the Earth. Analogue specialist Lomography offers a wide selection of low-cost film cameras such as the sub-£50 Diana Mini and wide-angle La Sardina, or you can get yourself a Holga or Blackbird if you’ve got a bit more budget to play with. Most of the top camera brands are digital-only nowadays, but you can pick up second-hand units such as the popular Canon AV-1 on eBay or in specialist camera shops.
2. If you’re after steady, quality shots, then using a tripod is a no-brainer. Most cameras sport a standard tripod mount on the underside making it easier to simply fit your accessory of choice. Pro tripods will cost you a fair few pennies but there are plenty of cheaper options around, not least Joby’s wide range of flexible Gorillapod tripods which can be adjusted to suit their surroundings and won’t break the bank either.
3. An easy way to add a splash of colour to your snaps is to make use of a colour filter on the flash. Some flash models will come with their own set of colour gels or you can pick up a cheap set like these colour lens and flash filters from Photojojo, which as the name suggests, can also be held over the lens for colourful effect. Alternatively you can make your own filters for next to nothing using coloured sweet wrappers or by colouring a piece of sticky tape or clear plastic with a marker pen.
4. Investing in some extra lenses is a good idea, even if you’ve only got a lo-fi toy camera. Even if it’s a fixed focus snapper, attaching a close-up, wide-angle or fish-eye lens using gaffer tape can produce some surprisingly good results (although it might make you look like you’ve lost the plot slightly).
5. Instant cameras make a nice retro-flavoured addition to your camera collection, whether that’s a vintagePolaroid SX-70 or a brand new Fujifilm Instax 210. Alternatively, Lomography sells instant backs for itsLC-A+ and Diana+ models, which can be easily fitted and offer you Polaroid-style snaps (albeit the size of a credit card), without the hassle of getting the film processed.
6. Getting yourself a negative scanner could well save you a lot of pennies as you’ll only need to pay the photo lab for processing. There are plenty of models to choose from, ranging from budget negative scanners for under £50 to multi-function flatbed scanners that can be used for documents and photos as well.
7. You can get all kinds of camera film, although it’s not quite as readily available as it once was. There are still limited supplies available in most chemists and camera shops, but specialist shops, like the Lomography stores, are your best bet. It’s also worth having a scout around on eBay for expired film. It may be out of date, but it’ll still work and you might even get some fancy effects that you weren’t expecting.
8. When choosing which film to use, it’s important to check the ISO, which refers to the speed of the film. The higher the number, the faster the film. If you’re shooting on a gloomy day then it’s best to go for a high ISO (800 and over), while you’ll need a very sunny day to get any decent results from a film with a low rating (100 and under). Film with an ISO rating of 400 is a safe middle-ground for most conditions.
9. If you want some cool results, then try to think beyond the classic colour neg film. Black and white film will give you moody monochrome shots, while slide film offers striking colour saturation for a bold, arty look. It’s also worth checking out redscale film which will give your snaps a nostalgic orangey-red glow.
10. Colour infrared film is notoriously hard to track down these days since Kodak stopped making it a few years back, and it now only occasionally turns up on eBay. Originally designed for aerial photography,colour infrared film offers crazily bright colour combinations, especially when teamed with a suitable colour lens filter.
11. If you’re feeling extra brave, then try re-spooling and re-using your film. This will effectively give you two sets of shots on one film and it’s pure luck as to whether this will give you awesome results or just a big mess, which is part of the fun. All you need to do is rewind your film as you normally would, but leave a small section of film poking out of the canister. You can then simply re-load the film into your snapper (or a different camera if you want to mix up the results).
12. If you’ve got yourself a vintage Polaroid snapper then the only place you’re likely to find the genuine Polaroid instant film is on eBay. The good news is that the clever folk at The Impossible Project, formed by former Polaroid employees, offer a new generation of instant film, which can easily be picked up online or in specialist camera shops. You can also still buy Fujifilm instant film for use in its Instax Mini 7 (also re-badged as the Polaroid 300) as well as Lomography’s instant camera backs.
You can read the rest of the article on Gizmodo.co.uk (originally published 05/12/11) and it also appears on Lomography.com.
When the nice folk at Kodak asked if I wanted to get involved with the Disposable Memory Project, I jumped at the chance, given that I’m a huge fan of film photography. The Kodak chaps recently provided me with some disposable cameras for a feature where I spent seven days working only with film – no digital allowed – so I was keen to get stuck in once again.
Established in April 2008, the Disposable Memory Project is a “global photography experiment” where throwaway cameras are passed on to others or left in public locations around the world.
Each camera includes a message urging the finder to take a few pictures and then pass the snapper on. There are also instructions on where to return the camera to when the film is finished.
More than 350 camera have been released already and you can see the results from those that have made it safely home over at the Project’s website. So far, more than 70 countries have been visited, with the cameras racking up over 440,000 miles of travel between them.
My Kodak Ultra single-use camera started its journey in South London and spent a short time travelling around the Big Smoke before jetting off to Washington D.C in the US of A, courtesy of my mum. From there, who knows where it will end up. You can follow its progress on its own little tracking page.
If the Disposable Memory Project sounds like your kind of bag, then you can get involved yourself by contacting the chaps in charge or follow the Twitter feed on @foundacam. | 2019-04-25T09:59:29 | https://libbyplummer.com/category/photography/ |
Racing / Re: What do people Ride?
Will reapplication of the texture fix the double vision issue through the windscreen as well?
Sort of off topic, but, why do sim creators have their own versions of tracks? Why don't owners protect the intellectual property that is their track? [I realize I am new to this but it seems kind of ridiculous that each developer has their own version of a particular track when it exists in macadam, concrete, and steel as a single, known, entity] One would think it would be in the best interests of all parties involved [track owners, racing organizations, participants, sim developers, simmers, and fans] if all tracks were identical across all simulators and were available for a nominal licensing fee. In reality, three dimensional data is three dimensional data, the application used to replicate the data is kind of immaterial. One of the more serious problems I see in the simulator world is Joe Schmoe's version of the Ring has slippery curb paint and no bumps while Jane Schmoe's has realistic curb paint and bumps galore, this is a problem because there is no room for interpretation of a track, it just is. If sim developers truly want their products to be taken seriously, then, just as in the real world, there should only be one iteration of a track, not countless numbers of interpretations. The same should go for the bikes, cars, etc.

Steve Lalor remains the Northwest's quintessential acoustic folk performer. A veteran of the 60's west coast folk scene (The Driftwood Singers) and founding member of The Daily Flash, Steve spent 11 years in the L.A. studio scene under contract with London, Universal, MGM, Psycho and Rhino recording companies. His crystal voice and syncopated 6 and 12 string finger picking have been described by Bumbershoot as, "Musicianship that CRACKLES with experience."
Barry Curtis, a member of the Kingsmen since 1963, has shared stages with everyone from Chuck Berry to The Zombies. As an electric guitarist, he embodies a wide stylistic range including rural American blues, rock, r&b, country and folk. As a singer, he combines these influences with his formal training in choral music and other forms of harmonic group singing.
Don Wilhelm has been active in the Seattle scene since 1966. He has performed with founding members Roger Fisher and Steve Fossen in White Heart and Heart with founding members Roger Fisher and Steve Fossen, ShyAnne, and with Moby Grape's Don Stevenson in Washington James. His unique bass style contributes greatly to The Flash's melodic and rhythmic character. His superb voice soars into alto territory, providing the band with the greatest possible vocal range.
Steve Peterson, also a Kingsmen since 1988, is one of the Northwest's finest drummers. Steve has the ability to find the groove in any form of music. His precision and dynamic range gives The Flash its multi‑hued percussive style. His singing, Celtic whistle and mandolin work are compelling and contribute to the group's amazing diversity.
Craig Bystrom has been sound engineering for the Kingsmen since 1982. Over the years, he has perfected the art of taking all of the individual instruments and voices in a band to create a dynamic group sound in any situation. He brings his wealth of talent and experience to The Flash and enables the band to sound its best at all times.
The Daily Flash continues to be a pioneer of Seattle music and a wonderful, explorative musical performance experience.

If only I could get more sleep. Nohra tends to have her most alert time period between 9pm and Midnight. I feel like I’m neglecting her because I should be engaging her during that time. I should be showing her contrasting colors and talking and reading and listening to classical music…something. But I’m often nodding in and out of sleep, holding her and nursing her while silently flipping the channels on my television and eating ice cream, trying desperately to stay awake.
If only I could sleep peacefully. I still have nightmares, and they’re not just about him. Last night I was being hunted. It was like The Hunger Games meets The Ghost and the Darkness. Dying in my dream would have been more relaxing. I woke up after less than five hours in a twisted position, exhausted from all the running and mental exhaustion from being in constant fear for my life. I didn’t even attempt to fall back to sleep.
If only I could stop eating ice cream bars and poptarts. I don’t even really like them when I’m eating them, but they’re sweet and easy. I am constantly running around and there’s so much to get done and I hardly find the chance to sit and eat. If I sit and eat I miss out on doing something else that I could’ve done while I had the chance. I know, I should stock up on fruit and veggies and easy to eat healthy things. And I will…when our money for food comes in. But then, of course, I have to find the time to brave a shopping trip with three little kids.
If only I could stay on schedule with my Directed Study this semester, and finish my proposals for my last two courses, and turn them in and get them approved.
If only I could start exercising again. I feel so flabby. I know, I know, I had my third baby six weeks ago, and to the outside world I look fine, great even, but I feel fat. And I’m not being my old teenaged delusional self who was really skinny but said she was fat; I’m really out of shape. I haven’t worked out regularly since I had my first daughter, and she’s almost six. I swore that I’d work out during my pregnancy, but I really didn’t do much. I even purchased a Postpartum Yoga with Baby DVD, and I haven’t even opened it. Ugh. I know that I’d feel better if I could start exercising, but I can barely fit in time to breathe.
If only I could stop stressing about these court cases. If only they were all wrapped up and in the past already.
If only I could push past these automatic thoughts/distorted thinking habits. I’ve been doing some work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy…I’m trying. I’m trying so hard to better myself in various facets. I know that thinking of myself as a failure is one of the feelings/thoughts I must combat. I know that all is not lost because I’m two days late on my homework. Deep down I know these things, but it is not yet habitual for me to change my way of reacting.
If only I could spend a few hours shopping (and not have to worry about my big girls or the fact that I don’t have any money).
If only I could be out in nature awhile. Go hiking or fishing or running. Hell, go rub my hands in the dirt and jump in a puddle.
If only I could have ten minutes to just be, completely alone, without any worries or responsibilities.
It seems as though my get up and go has gotten tangled up in the struggle; my overwhelming list of things I need to accomplish.
When I say need I really mean NEED and not want.
I WANT to find a hairdresser and get my dead ends cut off; it has been over a year since a professional touched my hair and this pregnancy is not favoring the weeks that I go without washing. Washing natural African-American hair is time-consuming. I do not have time.
I WANT to sit down with my daughters and color. Play board games. Have tea parties and play dress up and do each others hair. I want to pull out the couch bed and pop popcorn and watch a silly animated movie.
I NEED to sleep. But even on the weekends, when I should have more time for peace and should worry less because I don’t have to wake up at 5am to get everyone up and out the door on time for class, I cannot sleep. I have not been able to sleep properly since The Big Incident, but lately it is worse than ever. I sit around like a zombie, always tired, but never able to settle down. When I do sleep, I have these terribly vivid and horrific dreams. He is always in them. He is always in control. Upon waking I feel like I have just finished the fight of my life. Sleeping is more exhausting than staying awake.
I feed and bathe my daughters. I read to them – we’ve recently read almost every book in the Skippyjon Jones series and the How Do Dinosaurs (do various things) series several times each. I take them to their appointments and therapy sessions and sports lessons and educational programs. They are the focus of all of my energy.
I have no energy for me. I NEED to focus on me, because she’s inside of me, my growing baby. I am now 28 weeks pregnant, and she is growing steadily, healthily, and I’m hoping she comes out nice and chubby. But still, I cannot find the energy: to sleep, to complete my grad school assignments, to rid myself of my preoccupation with my husband. Why should I care about him? Why should I give him the satisfaction? I’m almost certain he’s not thinking about me. He is probably already wooing some other woman. And why should I care if he is with somebody? He DOES NOT LOVE me! But I do care…and I do worry, and I am afraid that he has already replaced me, and it still hurts, even though he has hurt me.
I am not certain that I need to weep, but maybe that would help me. I hear that crying is healthy, but I’ve always considered it a sign of being weak. I hate that once I start crying I find it hard to stop; I hate the lingering headache, the animal noises that come along with crying fits; the wetness. I haven’t cried since The Big Incident; I’ve been too busy with making ends meet, taking care of my babies, and not utterly failing at life, but maybe I can find some time to weep this week. Yes…I’ll have to schedule in crying. Maybe I’ll cry myself to sleep.
After reading stories, brushing teeth, and sometimes a bit of singing, the girls and I all settle down to go to sleep. Lately everybody sleeps with me. Terra is typically asleep before I turn out the light, but wakes up several times throughout the night needing to be calmed and taken to the potty. Amara flits about for 10-30 minutes before falling asleep, but she’s peaceful until morning once she’s dreaming.
Exhausted, but wide awake, I lie in bed listening for heavy breathing. Every sound conflicting with their respiring jolts me from near-sleeping and I am vigilant once more. Is there someone outside of my door? Outside of my window? Will this be the night that the house catches fire? That the phone call will come? That he will seek revenge and we will not be ready to run?
If I do fall asleep I usually have nightmares. They are horribly vivid and unshakeable upon waking. Waking is constant. When did I fall asleep? How long was I sleeping? I try my hardest not to think about how impossible it will be to fall asleep again. But I cannot help wondering what made me fall asleep? That meditation technique? The white noise and fan oscillating? Will I be able to stop thinking about not being able to sleep long enough to let the sensation take over me?
Thinking about my inability to fall asleep solidifies my failure. I stare at my ceiling, rehearsing for the courts, replaying my marriage, imagining the birth, recalculating expenses, trying to make a plan for the future, trying desperately not to commit to thinking, because I want NEED to get some sleep. After I’ve spent a significant amount of time changing positions, making trips to the bathroom, kissing my daughters’ cheeks, watching the sky change colors, and narrowly avoiding dreaming, I admit my defeat.
With the sun just starting to rise, the girls will still be sleeping for three to five hours. I do have a lot to get done, so I drag my feet and make my way to the living room to handle the business that danced around my head while I lie in bed. But of course, now the ease of remembering details and coming up with brilliant schemes does not come. So I sit, slumped in my computer chair, clicking random news stories, looking at blogs, filling online shopping carts with things I cannot afford, and debating on whether or not I should retry sleeping. I sit that way for hours, until finally the girls are awake and there is motivation to start my day.
I try not to contemplate sleeping, but I’m yawning while they’re eating breakfast.
By bedtime I will have the renewed strength to fight fatigue; that insanely-helpful-during-a-battle built-in defense to keep me going, that which will ruin one more night of possible peace. I suppose I could talk to someone, or take melatonin, but medicine worries me. I don’t want to be in a deep sleep if my children need me, it’s a risk that is not worth taking. I suppose being a zombie during the waking hours isn’t healthy either, but at least I’ve gotten the hang of doing that safely. | 2019-04-22T00:17:46 | https://sustainablysingleparenting.wordpress.com/tag/nightmares/ |
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small food processor or mortar, grind achiote seeds with peppercorns, salt, oregano, chile piquin, garlic and juices to make a smooth paste. Unfold banana leaf. Cut off and reserve the tough center rib that runs along the bottom edge of each leaf with kitchen scissors.
Cut ribs into 12- to 14-inch strips for tying packets. Gently cut leaves into eight 12-inch squares, being careful not to split them.
Slowly run a banana-leaf square across flame of a gas burner, just enough to "melt" outer coating on leaf - it will become quite shiny. If you have an electric stove, hold leaf slightly above burner on medium-high setting.
Place a filet of sea bass in center of square and spread achiote paste over top and bottom of the fish.
Fold two sides of banana leaf over fish to enclose it and then fold in opposite sides to form a packet. Tie packet with a strip of banana-leaf rib and transfer to a large baking sheet.
Assemble seven more packets in same manner and set aside to season for at least two hours.
Bake fish packets in middle of oven 20 minutes and then transfer each to a large plate. Serve with pickled red onions.
ONIONS: In a non-reactive bowl, mix all ingredients. Let onions marinate in refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using.

Everyday I have the opportunity to help our consultants find challenging and exciting work. It’s unbelievably rewarding to be so closely aligned to extremely talented people and to be a partner in their careers.
As an insurance broker, I developed the ability to uncover new business opportunities as well as build strong relationships. My experience as a collegiate basketball coach prepared me in many different ways to effectively manage consultant and client relationships. As a coach I was constantly motivating, educating, selling thoughts and ideas, bringing in teamwork and collaboration, recruiting as well as performing in the spotlight.
I’m driven to help clients achieve success with their business initiatives by providing them with talented, experienced and professional consultants.
I grew up in a small farming community and was a leader in sports and extracurricular activities, so I have always been internally motivated and very competitive. However, my family has always been number one. I think that shapes my approach to work and life – prioritize, do the right thing, work hard, juggle, balance and have a blast in the process.
Healthy, supportive, caring, a loyal running/yoga buddy, and unless everyone is lying to me I hear that I am really a nice person!
I am one of 7 or 8 people in our office who either have twins or are a twin themselves. I wear high heels just to make everyone feel even shorter. I love Packer fans.
I’m surrounded by driven, supportive, extremely smart and even funnier colleagues. Seriously, the best! | 2019-04-20T20:32:41 | https://salollc.com/team/sue-newton/ |
A workplace injury may be as minor as a paper-cut or as debilitating as a traumatic brain injury (TBI). While not every workplace injury may be preventable, following best practices for your industry can reduce your risk of being sidelined. If you do sustain an on-the-job injury, visit a medical examiner in Marietta GA who is in your workers’ compensation insurance network.
The right shoes can go a long way toward preventing fractures from falls and other workplace injuries. Choose non-slip soles for a firm grip on the floor. Try to avoid high heels; you can still look fashionable in low heels and you’ll reduce your risk of painful injuries. If you work in a construction zone or other area in which hardhats are required, it’s a good idea to choose steel-toed boots.
Your employer should provide you with all necessary personal protection equipment (PPE) for your position. Depending on the work you perform, this might include a hardhat, respirator, safety goggles, or a reflective vest. Wearing your protective gear can keep you safe from serious injuries in the event that a workplace accident does occur.
Practicing good housekeeping isn’t just something to do in your own home. Your workspace may hold hidden hazards that can contribute to slip and fall accidents. If you spill your coffee, be sure to wipe it up promptly. Regularly check your workspace for clutter that obstructs walking areas, including loose electrical cables that you might trip over. Depending on your particular industry, your workplace may house hazardous materials. Follow your employer’s established protocols for proper handling and disposal of these hazardous materials to reduce your risk of workplace accidents.
Lifting heavy objects can easily cause musculoskeletal injuries, especially if you use improper form. It’s best to enlist someone else to help you if the object is particularly heavy. Or, use a hand truck. Crouch down by the object and get a firm grip on it. As you stand up, keep the object close to your body and keep your back in a neutral alignment. Never twist your back while holding a heavy object; turn your entire body. Taking a few simple precautions can help prevent weeks or even months of pain.
When it comes to accident injury in Marietta GA and the Greater Atlanta area, whiplash is one of the most common car accident injuries. Many people falsely believe that a whiplash injury is not serious. Sadly, the neck and back pain that accompanies whiplash can have lifelong effects. Some whiplash patients will require years of expensive and time-consuming medical care and pain management. Keep reading to get a better understanding of a whiplash injury, including its causes, symptoms, and treatments.
Whiplash is one of the most common car accident injuries. Whiplash is often caused during a rear-end collision, when passengers’ heads snap quickly forwards and backwards in a whip-like motion. This soft tissue injury can cause severe damage to the neck muscles and require weeks or even years of pain management. Whiplash can also be caused by contact sports. For example, many football players experience the same kind of severe muscle strain common to whiplash patients.
The symptoms of a whiplash injury range from mild to severe. Most patients feel a combination of pain and tightness in the neck muscles. Many also have difficulty moving their necks properly. Whiplash sufferers may suffer from headaches. Headaches generally begin at the base of the skull, with pain radiating upwards and towards the forehead. After this accident injury, you may also feel tenderness or pain when rocking your head from side to side or nodding it up and down.
Treatment for a whiplash injury depends on its severity. After taking a physical examination of the affected area, your doctor may recommend applying ice to your neck muscles to reduce swelling and pain. Ice should be applied for about 30 minutes every few hours. You may also take prescription or over-the-counter painkillers. Anti-inflammatory drugs are especially helpful in alleviating pain stemming from muscle swelling. Some whiplash sufferers also benefit from massage.
MedPay is designed to cover medical treatment in Marietta GA and the Greater Atlanta area, after car accident injuries. MedPay allows drivers to provide insurance coverage for passengers who are riding in their vehicles in case a collision occurs.
MedPay coverage offers affordable baseline protection for your passengers’ medical treatment. While people who consider themselves to be self-insured can probably go without this extra coverage, MedPay is essential for almost all other drivers. Med Pay is very inexpensive, which is part of what makes it so beneficial. If your loved ones are injured in a covered vehicle, they will be covered for all reasonable medical expenses, including pain management. MedPay covers every kind of accident injury, so long as the injury requires medical care. MedPay is generally sold at the levels of $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, and $50,000. This additional insurance coverage can be applied to medical bills or funeral expenses up to the limits of the paid coverage. Med Pay compensates accident victims for any injury, regardless of who is liable for the auto accident. Med Pay will cover medical treatment for at least three years after a collision. | 2019-04-20T12:55:36 | https://www.acupunctureandinjury.com/blog/2016/04/ |

Not into maths? Neither am I – I actually try to avoid having to deal with numbers. The way I see it, the myth of journalists not being good with numbers is not a myth but the simple truth.
There are figures that I struggle more with than others. And then there are figures that are simply unpleasant to deal with.
I’ve been following the food crisis in west Africa since its very onset, and that means figures. Both unpleasant and pleasant figures, because behind every number there is a person of flesh and blood.
I’ve watched as the numbers of the affected has risen from 9 million to 13, from 15 million to the current figure; more than18 million. These are big numbers to get your head around.
There are 246 million people living in the Sahel region and out of those, more than 18 million are at risk of hunger . Most of them, or 6.4 million, live in Niger, while the lowest number of the affected are in Gambia, or 240,000. Is 240,000 a low number?
My organisation, Save the Children, plans to reach 1.5 million of the affected. That’s 8% of the total number of those that are thought to be at risk in all nine countries affected.
I am currently in Burkina Faso, where over 2 million are affected. If anything is clear, from the 20 interviews or so that I’ve had with Save the Children staff and beneficiaries, it is that everyone is affected – and Burkina Faso has 17.2 million inhabitants.
In 52 health centres in the Kaya district in Burkina Faso that I just visited, all children under five years get free treatment, and on top of that, Save the Children trains staff and volunteers and raises awareness on health and nutrition.
Last month I visited Niger for four days. On average a woman in Niger gives birth to 7.1 children in her lifetime and she also stands a one in six chance of losing a child before it reaches the age of five.
That means that, statistically speaking, every woman in Niger loses a child.
This is confirmed by nearly all the women, I spoke to while in Niger. Where I come from, we say that no one should live to see one’s child die.
For £7, you can treat a malnourished child with highly nutritious peanut paste for one week. Now that’s a low number.
18 Million is a staggering number, and to be honest is just so sickening. Good luck to the team, and the children. | 2019-04-21T07:12:14 | https://blogs.savethechildren.org.uk/2012/07/burkina-faso-playing-with-numbers/ |
A home inspection is an independent evaluation of a home’s components and major systems from the roof to the foundation. A home inspection from Inspectomax will provide you with an unbiased evaluation of the condition of your new home. Our InterNACHI home inspection report includes an evaluation of the condition of the home’s heating system, central air conditioning system, interior plumbing and electrical systems, the roof, attic, and visible structure. If problems are found, we can refer you to the appropriate specialist or trades person for further evaluation. It is not required that the homeowner be present for an inspection, however, we highly recommend being there to answer any questions you may have. In addition, you will get a better understanding of the overall inspection results.
A home inspection will also point out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase or sell, and will be able to make a confident buying decision. | 2019-04-24T15:51:56 | https://inspectomax.com/home-inspections |
A Security Intelligence Analyst of e-Crime Bureau, Eric Kwaku Mensah noted that, in 2017, there was an upsurge in the number of cheque fraud incidents in the financial sector.
The Security Intelligence Unit of e-Crime Bureau received 71 reported cases which is an increase from the 58 reported cases in 2016.
The three main forms of cheque fraud reported include; first, low grade counterfeit/cloned cheques, where a target institution’s cheque design is printed on a non-bank paper to perpetrate fraud.
The criminals print the target customer’s account details on these counterfeits and forge customer’s signature(s) for the fraudulent withdrawals.
The second trend noticed is forgery of signatures on genuine cheque leaflets for fraudulent withdrawals.
These fraudsters are in some cases able to obtain genuine cheque leaflets of target bank customers and forge their signatures for withdrawals from their accounts.
Mr Mensah mentioned that, there is a resurfacing of an old trend, which became very prevalent last year, where criminals used security paper for the cloning of the cheques.
As a matter of banking practice, banks are required to undertake strict telephone confirmations of the customers involved in any cheque transaction especially in the case of third-parties.
However, there is also a parallel trend of cheque fraud with SIM card swap, which aids the fraud syndicate.
He indicated that with the emergence and availability of sophisticated printing technologies and devices, fraudsters are able to print high-grade counterfeits that could outwit the detection mechanisms of some counting machines. | 2019-04-19T01:02:45 | http://tanoebusiness.com/cheque-frauds-on-the-rise-even-as-banks-turn-to-digitize-systems/ |
Last month the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee launched a consultation on executive pay. While a perception of excessive executive pay has been an issue for a number of years, public disquiet over the issue has increased in recent years as executive pay at the UK’s very largest listed companies has continued to rise.
The IoD recognises that excessive executive pay is an issue and it can have a damaging effect on companies, especially in terms of public trust in business. IoD’s response to the consultation addresses the questions outlined by the Committee and provides further thinking on the topic of executive pay. | 2019-04-25T08:25:22 | https://www.iod.com/events-community/regions/north-east/news/details/IoD-responds-to-BEIS-consultation-on-executive-pay |
I am a licensed chiropractor, new to the state, but not new to the profession. I have been practicing in Nashville, TN for twenty years and have treated hundreds of people with a wide variety of conditions and a diversity of health status. I have worked alongside medical doctors, as well as massage therapists, sports trainers and a podiatrist in order to become well rounded in what I do.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition from the University of Florida, and have counseled patients on diet. I have a passion for dance and exercise, but I feel my real niche lies in the fact that I have a grasp on working with extremity joints along with the spine that, I believe, is a rarity among most health professionals. My treatments are thorough and complete and I incorporate many different types of modalities to achieve the results desired. | 2019-04-19T00:30:47 | https://www.spineuniverse.com/specialist/chiropractor/us/fl/lisa-parenti-18230 |
Ear infection symptoms include a severe pain inside the ear, a fever, and an itchiness inside and around the ear.
It could also cause a sensation of pressure inside the ear, difficulty hearing, and scaly skin around the ear.
Discharge could run from the affected ear. It may be thin and watery, or thick and pus-like.
Symptoms can last for for several months untreated, but usually only last a few days with treatment, according to the NHS.
The long-term condition can lead to a build-up of thick, dry skin in the ear canal. This can narrow the canal, and eventually lead to hearing loss.
Ear infections could be caused by earwax being pushed down the ear canal.
Using eardrops, bought from a pharmacy, could soften the wax so it falls out naturally.
The condition could also be caused by an allergic reaction, or irritation to something that’s come into contact with the ear. That could include earphones, shampoo, or even sweat.
Fungal and bacterial infections may be causing the ear infections.
The same fungus that causes thrush could be to blame, while common bacterias Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa are usually the causes of bacterial infections.
Avoid ear infections by wearing ear plugs or a swimming hat over ears while swimming, or avoiding shampoo getting into ears while showering, the NHS advised.
Ear infections can usually be treated with ear drops, prescribed by a GP.
Symptoms could be eased by taking painkillers, and by gently swabbing the outer ear to remove any discharge.
If the infection is caused by a boil in the ear, placing a warm cloth over the ear could help it to heal faster.
If symptoms don’t improve, the doctor may send the patient to a specialist. Irrigation or syringing ears could treat the condition - where water is injected into the ear canal to dislodge any earwax. | 2019-04-22T02:48:55 | https://www.protein-barscheap.info/2017/11/ear-infection-symptoms-earwax-build-up.html |
In perusing Concours Mold Inc.’s website or walking through the company’s headquarters in Lakeshore, Ontario, Canada, one gets a very strong message that “team” matters. It’s not just some catchphrase; the shop lives and breathes it. It’s something that, together with a stated goal of “first-time quality,” has enabled the company to maintain high operational standards and long-term employee loyalty. It also has helped make Concours the 2017 Leadtime Leader Honorable Mention shop.
Concours was founded by Mark Goggin in 1994 and is one of the youngest mold manufacturing businesses to win Leadtime Leader honors since the award was established in 2003. According to Ed Ergun, corporate sales manager, the recently retired Goggin adhered to a resolute set of growth objectives for his company, and these are itemized on the Concours website: “Step 1, to make it known in the automotive world that Concours is synonymous with quality; Step 2, to build multiple, standardized, strategically located world-class facilities; and Step 3, to take calculated risks, drive continuous improvement and never accept the status quo.” The first two steps are considered complete, while the third’s status is, and will no doubt continue to be, ongoing. These accomplishments are supported by some notable facts.
“Concours has grown its operations from a two-man, 4,000-square-foot facility in Windsor, Ontario, to one that now employs 260 within a 95,000-square-foot building in Lakeshore,” Ergun says. In addition, over the 22 years since its founding, Concours grew from $500,000 in revenue annually to $90 million. The fact that the company is a direct supplier to General Motors, Ford, Nissan, Chrysler, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz undoubtedly has much to do with such rapid growth and success. Specialties include designing and building injection, compression and reaction injection molds for interior and exterior automotive parts, but the company also builds molds for heavy-truck components and a variety of consumer products for customers such as Rubbermaid and Electrolux. Lead times range from eight to 24 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the mold.
Besides Concours’ Canadian headquarters, other locations include Concours Mold Alabama in Cullman, a full-service, 25,000-square-foot mold manufacturing plant with 45 employees that was launched in 2004, plus a third, 31,000-square-foot facility, Concours Mold Mexicana, in Huejotzingo, Puebla, which was established in July 2010 and employs 75. Both the U.S. and Mexico plants were initially created to provide mold repair and maintenance services as well as engineering changes for customers in their respective regions, but the company realized the potential of also offering mold manufacturing services and comprehensive project management, and expanded its teams and facilities in those regions in 2014. Today, each plant’s operations average about 80 percent new-mold builds, and 20 percent engineering changes and repairs. | 2019-04-18T17:11:02 | http://concoursmold.com/en/blog/2017/06/01/leadtime-leader/ |
Unusual weather in Ireland has uncovered long-forgotten traces of a 3,000-year-old structure which resembles Stonehenge.
A weeks-long drought means that outlines of ancient buildings are becoming visible again, because the ruins sustain plantlife better than the surrounding earth.
Aerial photographs taken by a drone show the "henge", a type of ancient gathering place, which nobody previously knew about.
A record drought in Ireland has led to a previously-undiscovered monument becoming visible once again.
The lack of rain in Ireland means that fields around the country are drying up — and an unexpected side effect of this process is that outlines of ancient buildings can be seen again.
Signs of the monument were only available in aerial footage of the drought conditions.
The newly discovered monument is a henge, another example of structures like the famous Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England.
The outlines show that the structure was around 40 meters (131 feet) in diameter.
It was first spotted by Anthony Murphy, the founder of history group Mythical Ireland, who flew a drone over the area after seeing reports in the neighbouring UK of the heat uncovering ancient ruins.
"I had it in the back of my mind that some previously unrecorded archaeological sites had been revealed due to the drought conditions in Britain. I hadn't the faintest expectation that I would find anything new," Murphy wrote on his website about the discovery.
But when he and a photographer friend saw what the drone was recording, they knew it was important. "We knew fairly quickly that what we were seeing was something very special. And huge."
Dr Stephen Davis, an archaeologist at University College Dublin, told BBC News that the henge includes "extraordinary and unexpected" features.
Further checks by the government revealed more archaeological sites within the Brú na Bóinne area, which is a UNESCO world heritage site.
The area also contains Newgrange - a passage tomb once used for both burials and worship and covered in intricate carvings that serves as one of the country's biggest tourist attractions. Constructed about 5,2000 years ago, it is older than both Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.
The scale of the new finds was described by the Minister for Heritage, Jospeha Madigan, as "simply unparalleled."
Moisture retained in the ancient monuments keep the grass around them greener than the rest of the fields, revealing them in the drought conditions that the country has experienced. | 2019-04-19T06:59:15 | https://www.thisisinsider.com/drought-reveals-traces-stonehenge-like-structure-in-ireland-2018-7 |

Is the wellness industry creating the opposite affect that it is trying to achieve?
So, I came back to it with an open mind about a week later. I read it a few more times and to an extent, I have to agree with parts of this OPINIONarticle. Because the article focused on people in GOOD HEALTH more than people THAT NEED HELP WITH THEIR HEALTH. And that’s exactly correct! People in GOOD HEALTH don’t need to be doing all of the things to stay in good health. Tracking steps, calories, macros, fats, water, and sleep and, and, and…there really is no need for it. If your liver is working, why detox it? If you’re pooping regularly, why perform an enema? People in good health already have it figured out, just go on doing what you’re doing!
BUT there are so many people that are struggling with their health and yes, this alternative and wellness “stuff” does work. There are studies (and many personal experiences) to back it these claims (just as there are studies to refute these claims).
For example, can sound or energy healing help you manage different aspects of your life? Yes, I fully believe people can be supported by that. But would I put all of my “eggs in one basket” and rely solely on sound bowls to treat and heal my anxiety, no, not at all. It is, however something I could add to my regimen as “low hanging fruit” to help manage it.
I see all of these wellness practices as ways to support my body and what it needs for that day/week/month but I don’t expect miracles of healing from all of these practices. That’s where I think the problem lies. People expect miracles and healing and walking “10,000 steps” per day is not the answer.
I get it, we are being bombarded by so many new products, programs, classes, tracking apps, and the latest trends. (“Here’s a $54 rose quartz egg to shove up your hoo-ha!”). As a result, it can create anxiety and depression that you’re not reaching your goals. This is the exact opposite of what you’re trying to do which is to create a well-balanced, healthy self. How do you know who to trust or what to believe?
“Wellness” is a personal journey, what works for some will not work for others. And I know there is a ton of information out there and it’s challenging to figure out what is true, who is honest, and what works for you. For that reason, I try to be open and transparent and fair-minded while providing both sides of the story (unless it has to do with Monsanto, then nope, lol.) I am grateful that you trust me to provide you with some wellness knowledge. | 2019-04-19T13:22:38 | https://www.apothekellywellness.com/the-cult-of-wellness/ |
