In some areas of Owatonna, roof downspouts are connected directly to the storm sewer system. During rain events, stormwater hits the impervious roof surface, collects in the gutters, and is conveyed into the storm sewer system. The roof structures act like a "big funnel" and direct the stormwater into the storm pipes filling them to capacity.
Disconnecting the downspout re-directs the stormwater to your yard where it can soak into the soil rather than onto an impervious driveway or sidewalk. This "disconnects" or stops the flow of storm water from one impervious surface to another. This keeps runoff from the roof from entering into the street system where it would drain to the storm sewer system.
By directing the downspouts towards green areas the stormwater infiltrates back into the water table, reduces the velocity of the rain water, and allows for additional watering of lawns and gardens.

The new TxDOT bridge will replace the existing truss bridge over the Colorado River in Columbus, Texas. Stiver Engineering provided construction consulting to the bridge contractor with cofferdam designs for crane access on both banks of the Colorado River. The cofferdams allowed the crane to get closer to the center of the proposed bridge so that the bridge beams could be lifted and installed. The cofferdam was constructed using driven sheet piles, wales and cross ties.
To help secure the Baltimore, Maryland City’s water supply, the Baltimore City Department of Public Works is covering a considerable portion of Druid Lake and installing two large underground water tanks. Druid Lake holds filtered and treated water that is ready to be sent to consumers. To protect this drinking water supply, two covered storage tanks, holding more than 50 million gallons of drinking water, will be constructed underground on the western end of the lake. The estimated project cost is $140 million and is expected to be completed in March of 2022. Stiver Engineering provided the excavation plans and shoring plans for the installation of the two underground water storage tanks. The tanks are approximately 400 ft. and 500 ft. diameter and will be installed 40 ft. below natural grade. Stiver Engineering provided construction consulting through a sloped earth design along with a soil nail and shotcrete wall design where sloping was not feasible.
The purpose of the Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer Project is to provide additional surface water supplies to end users that utilize water from Lake Houston. Additional surface water supplies will be transferred from the Trinity River to Lake Houston via the Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer Project to meet the increased demand for surface water. There are currently no conveyance facilities to provide raw Trinity River water to the Northeast Water Purification Plant, which treats water from Lake Houston. The Northeast Water Purification Plant is vital in providing treated surface water to City of Houston customers and previous studies have shown that Lake Houston and Northeast Water Purification Plant cannot meet future demands at their current capacity. Transfer of additional raw water supplies to Lake Houston and future expansion of treatment capacity at the Northeast Water Purification Plant is required to allow for the mandatory conversion from groundwater to surface water. The Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer Project will provide the additional raw water resources necessary to satisfy these demands. The City of Houston, Texas holds permits to divert raw water at a maximum rate of 775 cubic feet per second (approximately 500 million gallons per day) from the Capers Ridge site to Lake Houston.
The Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer Project includes the Capers Ridge Pump Station located on the Trinity River in Liberty County, 3 miles of dual 96 inch diameter pipelines, and 23.5 miles of earthen canal system. The pump station will be located on the Trinity River. The pipeline will extend west southwest approximately 3 miles along a geological ridge (Capers Ridge). The pipeline will then outfall into the sedimentation basin at the start of the canal. The canal will outfall into the lower reaches of Luce Bayou, which flows into the northeastern corner of Lake Houston.
Stiver Engineering was retained by the contractor to provide construction consulting through a cofferdam design for the construction of the Capers Ridge Pump Station. Stiver Engineering also provided excavation plans for the installation of the proposed dual 96 inch diameter outlet piping.

Team claims living laser could springboard new techniques for in situ imaging, photochemical therapeutics, and diagnostics.
Scientists have developed a laser in which the optical gain medium comprises a single cell expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP). Malte C. Gather, Ph.D., and Seok Hyun Yun, Ph.D., at the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Wellman Center for Photomedicine, placed a single GFP-expressing mammalian cell into a microcavity formed by the gap between two parallel dielectric mirrors placed just 20 μm apart.
When they used a customized microscope to expose the cell to 5 nanosecond pulses of blue light, cavity feedback in the system caused the stimulated emission of intense pulses of green light by the cell rather than just fluorescence. The researchers hope their achievement will pave the way for the development of new methods for intracellular sensing, cytometry, and imaging, or photochemical therapeutics. Writing in Nature Photonics, they describe their work in a paper titled “Single-cell biological lasers.”
Since their development some 50 years ago, lasers have used synthetic materials including crystals, dyes, and purified gases as the optical gain media in which photon pulses are amplified as they bounce between the two mirrors, Dr. Yun explains. The new research suggests that biological gain media can now be added to this list.
The researchers first demonstrated that GFP itself could act as a gain medium by constructing a simple test device comprising a cylinder with mirrors at each end, filled with a solution of recombinant GFP in water. This allowed them both to confirm that the GFP solution could amplify input energy into brief pulses of laser light and to estimate the concentration of GFP required to generate the laser effect.
The results provided the basis for development of a mammalian cell line that expressed GFP at the levels required for use in a biological laser.
Encouragingly, even at high pump energies, the resulting single-cell system was capable of emitting hundreds of laser pulses before bleaching with no indication that cell viability was compromised, Drs. Gather and Yun report. In fact, the spherical shape of the cell acted as a lens, refocusing the light and inducing emissions of laser light at lower energy levels than those required for the solution-based system. Killing the cells required a pump power that was orders of magnitude higher than the normal operating range, and at normal ranges cells were alive before and after laser operation. This means a biological laser should be able to self-heal, they suggest. “If we photobleach or damage some of the emitters, the cell can make new ones.”
A number of potential applications for the cellular laser technology immediately spring to mind in the field of biological imaging, the researchers note. Compared with regular fluorescence, the emission from a cellular laser is intense, directional, and narrowband and has characteristic temporal and spectral modes. These features could be harnessed for cellular sensing to detect intracellular processes with a new level of sensitivity. Properties of cell-based lasers may in addition lead to the development of in situ light amplification technologies for applications including photochemical therapeutics, disease diagnosis, and imaging.
Indeed, the scientists are already using their achievement as a springboard for further developments including building a prototype of the cellular laser in a microfluidic platform. One of their long-term goals will be finding ways to bring optical communications and computing, which are currently carried out using inanimate electronic devices, into the realm of biotechnology, Dr. Gather states. “That could be particularly useful in projects requiring the interfacing of electronics with biological organisms. We also hope to be able to implant a structure equivalent to the mirrored chamber right into a cell, which would be the next milestone in this research.”

FSU1985 replied to pgamboa's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra ModsI may have located a console, but it’s out of a 2014 Sierra. Has anyone’s successfully swapped a 14 Sierra into a 17 Silverado?
A few weeks back I bought what I thought was an OEM black front bowtie from ebay. I noticed today that parts of the paint are flaking off revealing the gold emblem underneath. Needless to say, I will be returning this. So I am now back in the market for a black bowtie. I only need the front bowtie as I debadged the rest of the truck. I cant seem to find the front only OEM black bowtie anywhere online as they are selling sets which include the rear one as well. If you guys can point me in the right direction or supply me with the proper part number it would be greatly appreciated!

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation is a new oil free foundation that Covergirl is launching for Summer 2014 (it’s actually already in stores).
Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Oil Free Foundation is a product that should be appealing to a more youthful ground since Covergirl has Katy Perry promoting it plus the packaging is a little bit fun and hip as well.
If you like lighter, creamier coverage you’ll enjoy this.
Take a peek!
Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation is a perfect Summer release in my opinion. They did good here. Sure it lacks SPF but I use my own SPF anyway so I don’t mind in the least.
This is a creamy sheerer foundation (It kinda reminds me of Covergirl NatureLuxe Silk Foundation but has a little bit of a thicker consistency). It evens outs my skin tone, brightens skin, and gives me a fresh, natural finish. It doesn’t settle on drier areas of my face and has a lighter, matte finish that curbs oily very well (I have a good deal of oily areas now that the weather is warmning up around here). The coverage is surprisingly good so it’ll ease redness, conceal minor darkness and blemishes while giving skin a beautiful, natural look. It isn’t going to conceal major issues but I think most will be satisfied with the coverage it does offer.
Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation Swatches (205)
The texture is that of a BB Cream but a little less creamier. I don’t typically migrate towards matte foundations even in the warmer weather when my skin becomes a bit combination simply because they tend to look very dry and give my skin a lackluster appearance. This surprisingly looks very natural and feels very lightweight. It sort of sets to the same finish I get from my Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector. It keeps shine and oil at bay for a solid five to six hours and wears for just as long if not longer. At around hour seven I saw a little fading but not much! Which is amazing for drugstore foundation.
It is fragrance free so no worries for those sensitive to scented foundation. Between the lightweight coverage, natural finish, and easy to blend formula that keeps my skin shine-free I’d say that Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation is shaping up into a rather nice Summer base!
This one is worth a try out!
Tried it already?

The Game: VMI (5-8, 0-0 SoCon) at Furman (9-4, 0-0 SoCon)
The Date, Venue and Time: Dec. 29, 2022/Timmons Arena (2,500)/7 p.m. EST
The Coaches: VMI-Andrew Wilson (5-8/1st year)/Furman-Bob Richey (120-50/6th yr)
The Series: 105th meeting/Furman leads 67-37
Last Season: Furman and VMI split the season series 1-1
VMI 76, Furman 67
Jan. 1, 2022—The first game of 2022 saw VMI take an early lead in the Southern Conference race, as the Keydets improved to 2-0 in league play, overcoming a 38-31 halftime deficit to the Paladins. It was inauspicious start on the road to the 2022 calendar year for Furman basketball, which was under the direction of associate head coach Jeremy Growe, who was served in head coach Bob Richey’s stead, as Richey was at his wife’s side for the birth of their third child. At the end of the first day of the new calendar year, VMI had picked up its third-straight win over Furman and remained perfect at both Cameron Hall (5-0) and in SoCon play (2-0), as the Keydets posted a 76-67 win over Furman in what was the only SoCon game not canceled by COVID-19 protocols on the opening day of the year. Jake Stephens posted a game-high 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while sophomore guard Trey Bonham chipped in 16 points and added four assists, highlighting four Keydet players in double figures in the contest. Stephens posted his game-high 23 on a 10-of-16 shooting effort from the field, which included a 2-for-5 effort from long range. Stephens also dished out four helpers and blocked three shots. Joining Stephens and Bonham in double figures for the Keydets were both Sean Conway and Kamdyn Curfman, as each added 11. Conway had a solid all-around game, as he posted a double-double, finishing with 12 boards, while also dishing out five assists. Furman was led by another stat-stuffing afternoon from Jalen Slawson, who continued his outstanding senior season by leading three Paladins in double figures, with 20 points, seven rebounds, f ive assists, two blocks and a steal. The native of Summerville, S.C., connected on 8-of-19 shots from the field and was 2-for-7 from three-point range. He also knocked down both foul shot opportunities in the contest. Mike Bothwell scored 11 of his 14 points in the second half, as he finished the afternoon by connecting on 5-of-9 shots from the field, including going 3-for-6 from three-point range and was also 1-of-2 at the charity stripe. Bothwell added a season and team-high eight rebounds and dished out a pair of assists.
Furman 79, VMI 64
Jan. 26, 2022—Furman claimed its sixth win in its past seven outings, avenging an earlier season setback to VMI, as the Paladins were able to put an end to a three-game losing skid to the Keydets, with a 79-64 victory inside the friendly confines of Timmons Arena. The Paladins’ win also saw them improve to 10-1 at Timmons Arena this season, and 83-13 overall and 48-6 against SoCon competition in the friendly confines of the on-campus facility since the start of the 2015-16 season. With wins of 38, 25 and 15 points in its last three Southern Conference games against Western Carolina, at Wofford and VMI, Furman is boasting an average margin of victory of 26 points-per-game in its last three outings. The mid-week SoCon clash between the Paladins and Keydets marked a clash between the two national leaders in three-pointers made, with Furman’s 257 made triples leading the nation, while VMI’s 254 trifectas ranking second nationally. The Paladins finished the night going 14-of-41 (34.1%) from three-point land, while holding the Keydets to just 8-of-23 (34.8%) from three-point land in the contest. It marked just the fourth time this season the Keydets have been held to less than double-digit three-pointers made in a game this season, including their second-lowest number of threes made in a game. The Paladins now have 271 three-pointers made this season, while VMI has 262 triples made. Furman is on pace to break its school record of 338 three-pointers made in a season, which was established in Bob Richey’s first season as the head coach of the 2017-18 campaign. In the past three games, Furman has connected on 53 three-pointers, connecting on 45.2% from long-range in the past three games. The Paladins are 2-2 in games in which they fail to connect on at least 10 triples in a game this season, while the Keydets also dropped to 2-2 in games in which they failed to reach at least 10 three-pointers in a game. The Paladins were led in the contest by four players in double figures, adding 19 assists to an already gaudy total, which led the nation entering the matchup. For the second time in conference play, the Paladins were led in scoring by Conley Garrison, who posted a game-high 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field, which included a 5-of-8 effort from three-point land. Earlier this season, Garrison scored 23 second-half points in a 78-69 win over East Tennessee State. Garrison came into the contest against VMI ranking third in the SoCon in three-point field goal percentage (47%). In addition to his scoring performance, Garrison was a huge part of Furman’s 47-32 advantage on the backboards, including 18 offensive boards, as Garrison finished the night with six of his eight boards coming on the offensive glass. Garrison’s effort accounted for one-third of Furman’s offensive rebounds and was a big part of helping the Paladins hold a sizable 22-7 edge in second-chance points. The Drury transfer also added four assists and a block. Jalen Slawson continued his outstanding play as of late, adding 21 points, four steals, three blocks, two assists, and nine rebounds. The senior from Summerville, S.C., connected on 8-of-14 shots from the field, which included another impressive performance shooting from long-range, as he went 4-for-8 from three-point land. In the past two games, Slawson has gone 8-for-14 from three-point land. He has now scored in double figures in 19 of Furman’s 22 games so far this season. Senior classmates Mike Bothwell and Alex Hunter rounded out the Paladins in double figures, adding 14 and 10 points, respectively. Bothwell finished his night going 6-of-16 from the field, including 1-of-7 from three-point land, while adding eight boards, four assists, a steal and a block. Hunter, a senior from Raleigh, N.C., finished the night with his 10 points coming on a 3-for-10 shooting effort from long-range and 2-of-8 from three-point range. His performance from three-point range gives him 281 triples for his career, and with eight more triples this season, the former Leesville-Road High School standout will be Furman’s all-time three-point king, surpassing former Paladin great Jordan Lyons’ 288-career triples, which he set from 2016-20. In addition to his scoring production, Hunter finished the night by handing out five assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block. VMI finished the night with three players in double figures, with senior Jake Stephens leading the way with 20 points, while Kamdyn Curfman added 16 and Trey Bonham added 11. Stephens, a senior from Bunker Hill, WVa, connected on 8-of-15 shots from the field, including 1-for-4 from three-point range. Fifteen of his 20 points in the contest came in the opening half of play. Additionally, Stephens added a team-best eight rebounds, blocked a shot, and added an assist, while committing four turnovers. Furman finished the night connecting on 41.8% (28-of-67) from the field, which included a 34.1% (14-of-41) from three-point land. Meanwhile, the Paladins held VMI to 41.1% (23-of-56) from the field and 34.8% (8-of-23) from three-point land. The Paladins ended the night holding advantages in total rebounds (47-32), second-chance points (22-7), total assists (19-14), fast-break points (7-5), bench points (5-0), and total steals (8-5). The Keydets held an advantage in points from turnovers (9-8). Both teams were even at points in the paint (28-28). VMI concluded the night connecting on 71.4% (10-for-14) from the charity stripe, while the Paladins were 69.2% (9-of-13) from the stripe. All told, the contest featured four ties and five lead changes, with the Paladins holding the upper hand for 32:50 total in the game, while the Keydets found themselves with the advantage for a 5:11 span in the game.
Game Preview: —Perhaps no coach got more out of his basketball team than did Andrew Wilson during the course of non-conference play. The Keydets may have finished the non-league slate with just a 5-8 record, however, the team picked to finish last in the Southern Conference by both the media and head coaches in the non-conference did all it could to overcome any obstacle in their way during non-conference play, thanks in large part to new head coach Andrew Wilson.
The Keydets face a Furman team picked to win the 2022-23 Southern Conference crown in the 2022-23 Southern Conference opener, and it will be a vastly different VMI team than we are accustomed to seeing in recent seasons. That’s because when former head coach Dan Earl left for Chattanooga, he took arguably the Keydets’ two most dynamic players with him to the Scenic City, in graduate senior Jake Stephens and lightning-quick point guard Honor Huff.
Both were difference makers for the Keydets in both games against the Paladins last season. In the first meeting last season, which saw the Keydets win by nine in Lexington on the first day of 2022, the two players combined to score 32 points, and the other guard, Trey Bonham, who is now at the University of Florida, added 16 points, meaning Stephens (23 pts), Huff (9 pts) and Bonham (16 pts), meaning the trio combined for 48 of VMI’s 76 points in last season’s win in Lexington.
In the second game, which saw Furman claim a 15-point, 79-64, win in Greenville in a game that was much closer than the score would indicate, Stephens (20 pts), Bonham (11 pts) and Huff (9 pts) combined to score 40 of the Keydets’ 64 total points in the loss.
In addition to missing that trio, the Keydets also saw top shooter Kamdyn Curfman enter his name into the transfer portal when Earl bolted for Chattanooga, and he has since surfaced as the Marshall Thundering Herd’s third-leading scorer, averaging 11.6 PPG and is shooting 40.2% from three-point range for the Thundering Herd and has hit a team-best 44 triples this season.
With VMI not having a graduate school at the time, Stephens decided to use his COVID-19 year of eligibility at Dan Earl’s next stop, which just happened to be Chattanooga. All he’s done this season is lead the SoCon in scoring (21.5 PPG) and rebounding (10.3 RPG).
Honor Huff has to sit out this season at Chattanooga, per SoCon intra-conference transfer rules. Since Stephens was a graduate transfer when he arrived in the Scenic City, he was immediately eligible. Bonham has continued his success at the power five level, as he currently ranks third on the Gators’ roster in scoring average, posting 10.2 PPG. The trio that started a majority of the season for the Keydets and are eligible to play somewhere else are combining to average roughly 42 PPG, and you add to that the 10.0 PPG missing from Huff from a year ago, new head coach Andrew Wilson has had to figure out a way to replace roughly 52 PPG of the 79 PPG that the Keydets averaged per game last season.
Adding even more difficulty to that coming into the season for Wilson in his new post was navigating some key injuries in the preseason. But despite having one of the youngest teams in the country, the Keydets have managed to do better than in expected in the minds of many out there, all things considered.
Wilson has managed to keep the Keydets in every game and has also managed to help his Keydets spring a surprise or two along the way. The lone returning starter that Wilson returned from a year ago Sean Conway (15.8 PPG, 6.1 RPG), who has looked every bit the part of an all-conference player to this point in the 2022-23 season. Conway is one of four Keydets averaging in double figures coming Thursday night’s showdown at Timmons Arena.
Conway is part of a four-guard attack for the Keydets. He has led VMI five times in the first 13 games in scoring, posting double figure scoring efforts in 10 of those contests, and is easily off to his best start in a red and gold uniform in what is now his fourth season in the program.
Conway was at his best in maybe VMI’s most impressive non-conference win, posting what was a 28-point effort in VMI’s impressive 80-72 win over perennial Patriot League power Navy.
His 28-point effort also represented what is a career-high for scoring for him, and he finished that contest by connecting on an impressive 10-of-14 shots from the field, which included what was an outstanding 6-of-7 effort from three-point land. Conway’s 38 three-pointers leads the Keydets this season. He needs just seven more threes this season to eclipse his 44 made trifectas a year ago.
He is again part of a VMI team that shoots the ball from the perimeter and one that comes to Greenville, which must be respected for the damage they can do from long range. The Keydets finished second to only Furman in long-range shooting last season, making 400 three–point field goals on the season through 32 games, ranking second in the NCAA. It marked the second-highest single-season league total in league history behind only Furman, which finished the season by connecting on a nation-leading 401 triples.
This season, Conway’s 38 triples have been at the forefront of a VMI team that ranks second in the Southern Conference in made three-pointers this season, with 146 made trifects (11.8 threes per game). It’s an area of the game that the Keydets need to see go well tonight to stay in the game against the league’s preseason pick to claim the SoCon title. VMI’s 39.6% shooting clip from beyond the arch this season also ranks second in the SoCon. His 15.8 PPG scoring average currently ranks Conway fourth among the league’s leaders in scoring average.
In contrast, defending the three for Bob Richey’s Paladins has not been a strong-suit this season. In fact, Furman enters Thursday night’s showdown ranking ninth overall in defending the three, as teams are shooting 37.5% from long range against the Paladins this season.
Conway is joined in the four-guard backcourt by Asher Woods (15.1 PPG, 4.5 RPG), Tony Felder, Jr. (11.8 PPG, 2.5 RPG) and Rickey Bradley Jr. (6.8 PPG, 5.5 RPG) are part of what has been a young, but talented nucleus for the Keydets this season. It was Rickey Bradley Jr., who had his best game of the season and career last time out against Fordham, as he posted 23 points, which included a career-best 15 three-pointers, in what was an 80-77 overtime setback against the once-beaten Rams.
Bradley Jr. wasn’t the only rookie that went off in New York, as Asher Woods contributed 21 points and a career-high nine rebounds. Tony Felder Jr. completes the trio of guards this season that have scored 20 or more points in a game, having posted 23 points in VMI’s loss to former Southern Conference member Davidson–a game in which VMI pushed the Wildcats to the limit before losing 75-71 back in mid-November.
Rounding out the freshman quartet for the Keydets entering Thursday night’s league opener is Tyler Houser (10.0 PPG, 4.2 RPG), who is doing a pretty good job considering the huge shoes he had to fill at center coming into the season.
The 6-9 Houser has started eight games in the middle for the Keydets, and enjoyed a season-high 18 points in a loss to SIU-Edwardsville, while having recorded a pair of games in which he posted four made three-pointers, with the last coming in the win over Navy.
Off the bench, the Keydets will look to freshman guard Taeshaud Jackson (4.7 PPG, 5.5 RPG) and junior guard Devin Butler (8.2 PPG, 3.0 RPG). The Keydets aren’t particularly deep, with only seven players logging heavy minutes for VMI this season. Wilson has leaned on five freshmen among those seven contributors, including four of those in the starting lineup.
Offensively, the Keydets come in ranking fifth overall in the league in scoring offense (76.8 PPG) and sixth in team field goal percentage (45.1%). Defensively, VMI ranks dead last in the SoCon in scoring defense (74.6 PPG) and seventh in field goal percentage defense (44.7%).
For the first time since Bob Richey took over the reins of the Furman basketball program some six years ago, the Paladins will begin league play as the odds-on favorite to win both the regular-season title and cut down the nets on March 6 in Asheville.
That journey starts tonight at Timmons Arena, which is a place the Paladins have played particularly well over the years. Over the past eight years, Furman is 90-15 on their home floor, including an impressive 49-7 mark against Southern Conference competition. The Paladins are off to a 6-1 start on the home hardwood this season, with the lone loss coming in an 85-82 setback to Big South member High Point. The Paladins have won eight-straight Southern Conference league openers, with the last loss coming back on Jan. 14, 2014, when the Will Wade-led Mocs came to Timmons Arena and handed the Paladins a 72-63 setback.
Furman has two of the premier basketball players in all of mid-major hoops, which the Keydets must find a way to deal with in the league opener. Both senior guard Mike Bothwell (20.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG) and Jalen Slawson (15.0 PPG, 6.9 RPG) have once again started the season strong, highlighted by Bothwell’s memorable and career-high 36-point effort in Furman’s second-to-last non-conference game 12 days ago in the Greenville Winter Invitational in the Paladins’ thrilling 72-70 win over Stephen F. Austin . Bothwell followed that up by dishing out a career-best eight assists the next time out against Anderson, as the Paladins closed out non-conference play with their second game of 100 or more points this season in a 106-79 win over Anderson University.
Bothwell’s 36-point effort came on a 12-of-14 shooting effort, scoring 21 of Furman’s 28 second-half points in the win over Stephen F. Austin. His final two were the most important, as he connected on about an eight-foot baseline jumper with 0.6 seconds left to deliver the Paladins the thrilling win after nearly surrendering a 22-point halftime advantage in what was a wild game between two good mid-major programs at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
Bothwell, who scored his 1,000th point last season, currently has 1,641 points in his Paladin career, ranking 13th on the school’s all-time scoring ledger and continuing to make a steady climb up the charts. Slawson has 1,143 career points to rank 40th in program history, while his 163 steals have him ninth in school history, while his 147 career blocks rank him third in program history.
Slawson was the SoCon’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2021-22 and is off to another strong start on that end of the floor, as the senior from Summerville, S.C., enters Thursday night’s contest against VMI ranking first in the league in steals (26 steals/2.0 SPG), while also ranking third in the league in blocks (19 blocks/1.5 BPG).
Slawson also enters Thursday night’s league opener ranking fifth in rebounding (6.9 RPG), eighth in field goal percentage (59.8%), and tied with Chattanooga’s Jake Stephens for ninth overall in assists-per-game (3.4 APG).
While Bothwell and Slawson are important to head coach Bob Richey’s winning elixir, if Furman is going to win a championship, it will take more than just those two to do it, as talented as that tandem may be, they can’t do it alone.
One player that has continued to step up and show out is point guard J.P. Pegues (8.9 PPG, 4.1 APG, 3.5 RPG), who is playing the point for the first time in his Paladin career, having played mostly off the ball last season.
Pegues is Furman’s top perimeter threat, having knocked down a team-best 27 triples through the first 13 games this season, and that includes shooting at a 39.1% clip, which is second on the team for Paladins that have shot 10 or more from downtown this season.
Pegues’ primary responsibility it to establish tempo, as the Paladins are playing faster than they ever have before under head coach Bob Richey. That can at times lead to untimely turnovers, which was something that seemed almost a foreign concept the previous five seasons with Alex Hunter running the point, as he possessed the uncanny ability to take tremendous care of the basketball, and probably ended his career with one of the best assist-turnover ratios in league history.
While that was a nice luxury that Richey enjoyed his previous five seasons as the head coach, that kind of ability is a one in a lifetime for a coach kind of point guard, and while that has been one major missed attribute from the days of Hunter running the point, the Paladins have more than made up for it with Pegues’ unique ability to assert leadership with his ability to dictate the tempo with which Richey wants the Paladins to advance the ball up the floor.
That, and Pegues is also a tremendous outside shooter, with the ability to get points in bunches, as witnessed by his 20-point effort earlier this season in a loss to Old Dominion in the Charleston Classic. Pegues is continuing to assert himself as a high-level distributor of the basketball as well, averaging 6.8 APG over the past four contests.
Rounding out the projected starting five for the Paladins’ SoCon opener are both forwards Garrett Hien (9.7 PPG, 5.2 RPG) and Ben VanderWal (4.5 PPG, 3.0 RPG), who has been a recent addition to the starting five for the Paladins. VanderWal has the “it” factor, bringing high levels of energy on both ends of the floor.
Hien has continued to improve as both a perimeter shooter, having connected on 50.0% (11-of-22) of his threes this season, and also has shown the ability to affect games with his pinpoint passing ability, as he showed in Furman’s recent loss at North Carolina State a couple of weeks ago.
Furman is as deep as any team in mid-major basketball when it comes to its bench, with Richey sticking with a solid nine-man rotation for a majority of non-conference play. Leading the Paladins off the bench as of late have been wing Marcus Foster (9.8 PPG, 4.5 RPG), forward Tyrese Hughey (7.2 ppg, 3.1 RPG), and backup point guard Joe Anderson (2.5 PPG, 0.7 RPG). The ninth man in the rotation at the moment is between both point guard Carter Whitt (3.9 PPG, 2.1 RPG) and forward Alex Williams (4.3 PPG, 0.8 RPG).
Foster, for the most part, has seemingly played some of his best basketball being the sixth man off the bench for the ‘Dins this season. Foster posted his second-highest point total of the season last time out, finishing with 17 points in Furman’s lopsided win over Anderson. Foster even more than Slawson or Bothwell perhaps holds Furman’s key to success more than any other player on the roster, and finding a way for him to be more consistent as a third scorer has been a tricky road to navigate for Richey and staff, however, with his play in each of the past three games, the Paladins may have found a way to do just that–by bringing him off the bench as a sixth man.
Anderson has struggled shooting the basketball, but he’s been invaluable as a role player for the Paladins, especially on the defensive end, where Furman has struggled at times this season.
Finally, both Williams and Whitt have struggled to find their role within the rotation, with each showing flashes of their immense talent.
Especially Whitt, who, at times operates on a different plane all together with what he can do with the basketball, as evidenced by the jolt he gave the Paladins in an opening half run in their loss to the Wolfpack. Williams on the other hand, scored 15 points in just nine minutes vs. South Carolina State.
That’s what makes Furman perhaps so dangerous is the fact that they have so many different players that can hurt opponents because of their skill level. While Furman has struggled at times defensively through the course of non-conference play, it’s quite apparent they have the ability to stress anyone defensively with their array of talented players on the offensive end.
Through the first 13 games this season, the Paladins lead the league in scoring offense (82.6 PPG) and rank second in team field goal percentage (50.0%). The Paladins are also fifth in the league in three-point field goal percentage (34.4%) and rank fourth in three-pointers made (123/9.5 PG).
Defensively, Furman ranks eight in the league in points allowed (72.9 PPG), last in field goal percentage defense (47.0%) and ninth in three-point field goal percentage defense (37.5%).
Both VMI and Furman rebound the basketball fairly well on both ends of the floor, with the Keydets holding a slight edge in that area, ranking fourth in the SoCon in rebounding margin (+4.8), while Furman is just behind the Keydets in that category, ranking fifth in the league in rebounding margin (+4.0).
Prediction: —While I might have been way wrong about the Samford-Mercer game last night–yes, I missed that one royally–however, I don’t think I will be wrong about this one, although I expect VMI to be a worthy opponent and for the Paladins to end up earning a hard-fought victory in the end.
Furman 80, VMI 70
A quick look around the SoCon at the other games tonight
Furman and VMI, of course, aren’t the only two teams to get their start in league play this evening, as three other matchups will fill out the league’s first heavy helping of league games.
In case you missed it last night, Samford rolled to a 78-69 win over Mercer at the Pete Hanna Center in Birmingham. The sharp-shooting Bulldogs showed us why they were the No. 2 pick by the league’s coaches, as Bucky McMillan’s Bulldogs knocked down a season-high 13 triples and blistered the nets at a 57% clip (13-of-23) from beyond the arch to snap a seven-game losing streak and get off to a strong 1-0 start in league play.
Leading the way for Samford in the win were a pair of preseason all-league selections, in Jermaine Marshall and Logan Dye, as the duo posted 25 and 23 points, respectively, to lead Samford to its opening league win of the season. Playing in place of talented point guard Ques Glover, Jaron Rillie showed out by distributing 10 assists in the league-opening win for Samford.
Samford returns to league play Saturday with a trip to face the league’s other Bulldogs–The Citadel–with tip-off set for high noon on New Year’s Eve in Charleston. Mercer will look to rebound from the tough road loss by hosting Chattanooga in a 2 p.m. contest at Hawkins Arena on Saturday.
Now here’s a quick look at the rest of tonight’s action around the SoCon.
UNC Greensboro (6-7, 0-0 SoCon) at Western Carolina (7-6, 0-0 SoCon), 2 p.m.
–The one peculiar early start time for games today involves a pair of teams from the Old North State, as UNCG travels to face Western Carolina in a 2 p.m. contest at the Ramsey Center. The early tip-off between the Catamounts and Spartans offers an intriguing matchup, as the Catamounts enter riding their second three-game winning streak of non-conference play and will be facing a UNCG team that has owned this series between the two of late, having won 12 of the past 14 matchups between the two. The Catamounts and Spartans will be meeting for the 62nd time in series history, with Western Carolina holding a slight 32-29 series edge. Western Carolina is 20-28 all-time in SoCon openers.
Two Players to Watch: For Western Carolina, keep an eye on big man Tyzhaun Claude (15.4 PPG, 8.5 RPG), who is off to as good a start as any newcomer in the SoCon this year. He is coming off back-to-back 21-point games against Tennessee Tech and Toccoa Falls to close out the non-conference slate.
UNCG’s player that newcomer that should be on your radar is 6-6 wing guard Keondre Kennedy, who came to the Spartans program after leading UMBC in scoring last season. The athletic, cerebral newcomer has seen that carry over with UNCG and new head coach Mike Jones. He leads the Spartans, averaging 13.5 PPG and much like De’Monte Buckingham did last season by leading the team in scoring and rebounding after transferring in for one season from UC Bakersfield, Kennedy is doing the same, as his 7.3 rebounds-per-game lead the team.
Historical moment: Feb. 26, 1998 UNC Greensboro 60, Western Carolina 59
–In what was UNCG’s first Southern Conference Tournament game, it would come against Western Carolina and would produce one of the more thrilling finishes in the modern era of the tournament. After Dondrell Whitmore was fouled with just 3.5 seconds remaining, he went to the line for two free throws and the Catamounts clinging to a 59-57 lead. However, he missed both and UNCG point guard–the diminutive, speedy Derrick Nix–took the inbounds pass and proceeded to dribble to the top of the key in about three of the 3.5 seconds remaining, releasing his prayer just before the buzzer sounded, and his prayer would be answered as the shot banked in for a thrilling 60-59 win over the Catamounts in an opening round game at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Who Wins: UNCG 68, Western Carolina 64
Chattanooga (8-5, 0-0) at The Citadel (5-7, 0-0 SoCon), 7 p.m.
–Chattanooga and The Citadel will offer another intriguing clash, as Dan Earl takes his Mocs-picked to finish second by the league’s media-to take on Ed Conroy’s Citadel Bulldogs, who were picked to finish ninth by both the coaches and media. Conroy, of course, will be coaching his first game back in the SoCon since March 6, 2010, when the Bulldogs lost in the SoCon quarterfinals to Appalachian State. In his second stint as the Bulldogs head coach, Conroy will be looking to do what he has done much of the time he’s been the head coach at his alma mater, which is prove the doubters wrong about Citadel hoops. When the two meet Thursday night, it will mark the 91st clash between the two league rivals, with Chattanooga holding the commanding 71-19 series edge. The two couldn’t have more contrasting basketball histories, with the Bulldogs having never made the NCAA Tournament, while the Mocs have been to a league standard 12 NCAA Tournaments. The Mocs won all three meetings last season, including a 71-66 win at the Harrah’s Cherokee Center in the quarterfinals of the SoCon Tournament.
Two Players to Watch: If we said to watch any other player for Chattanooga other than Jake Stephens it would be almost blasphemous. After all, not only does the seven-foot senior lead the league in scoring (21.5 PPG) and rebounding (10.3 RPG), he’s also claimed the league’s Player of the Week honor five out of the seven weeks it has been awarded this season.
The Bulldogs have been an interesting collection of guys assembled by Conroy into a team that has winning expectations, despite what their hardwood tradition says. Part of that DNA comes from players like Austin Ash, who came to The Citadel from a program with NCAA Tournament expectations each season. Ash settled in Charleston after transferring in from the University of Iowa, where he was a role player for Fran McCaffery–a former coach in the SoCon himself at UNCG–and that’s part of the story as to how Ash found his way to Charleston to play out his final season of eligibility. Ash’s leadership and shooting ability have had an immediate impact for Conroy’s Bulldogs, leading the team in scoring average (16.2 PPG), as well as three-point field goals made (44).
Historical Moment: Feb. 6, 2010–The Citadel 68, Chattanooga 60
The last time Ed Conroy faced the Mocs in Charleston, he led the Bulldogs to one of their meager 19 wins in the history of the series between the two. Sharp-shooting guard Zach Urbanus couldn’t be contained, as he scored 24 points and nailed seven triples, as he led the Bulldogs to a 68-60 win over the SoCon’s gold standard basketball program. Cameron Wells added a double-double of 11 points and 10 boards, as The Citadel never trailed in the second half en route to getting the win.
Who Wins: Chattanooga 74, The Citadel 68
East Tennessee State (4-9, 0-0 SoCon) at Wofford (8-5, 0-0 SoCon), 7 p.m.
–The final game of the quick hitters around the league is one that always seems to produce down to the wire finishes, particularly in Spartanburg. The Bucs have lost five-straight games by a combined 14 points entering Thursday night’s league opener. The Terriers, who have been without head coach Jay McAuley, as he has been away from the team for four games due to a forced leave of absence, and Wofford has gone 3-1 under interim head coach Dwight Perry. Included in those three victories was a 67-62 upset win at Texas A&M to round out conference play, which was one of two the SoCon got overpower six opposition during the non-conference slate. Thursday night’s clash will mark the 57th all-time meeting between the two, with ETSU holding the commanding 40-16 series edge. Wofford won both of last season’s meetings between the two programs.
Two Players to Watch: Wofford’s player to watch is a guy that has simply flown under the radar for one reason or another all season, but it’s becoming clear that freshman guard Jackson Paveletzke (15.8 PPG, 2.5 RPG) has been the league’s most impressive freshman so far. Paveletzke is one of two players not named Jake Stephens to claim the SoCon’s Player of the Week award, and he is the reigning league player of the week by leading the Terriers with 22 points in Wofford’s big win over the Aggies. Paveletzke’s 15.8 PPG is tied for the team lead in scoring along with forward B.J. Mack.
ETSU Jalen Haynes (13.3 PPG, 5.5 RPG) has been a breath of fresh air for a Bucs team that struggled down the stretch due to lack of an inside presence, as a result of both in-season departures and injuries a year ago. The 6-9 Virginia Tech transfer has shown big game this season, and he has shown how well-coached a player he was during his time with the Hokies, playing for former Wofford legendary head coach Mike Young. Haynes’ 13.3 PPG leads ETSU this season, and his 60.7% field goal percentage ranks second overall in the SoCon this season. He reminds me a lot of former ETSU standout Dillion Sneed.
Historical Moment: Mar. 6, 2003 ETSU 80, Wofford 75
One of the more memorable meetings between ETSU and Wofford came in the 2003 Mountain Dew Southern Conference Tournament at the North Charleston Colieseum, which saw the Bucs hold off Wofford, 80-75, in a thrilling Southern Conference Tournament quarterfinal contest. Tim Smith paced the Bucs with 23 points, while Jerald Fields added 19 to help the Bucs take the first step of what would be a three-part championship journey in Charleston, as the Bucs cut down the nets at the end following a 97-90 championship win over the Ashley Champion-led Chattanooga Mocs. The game between the Bucs and Terriers was a great one, as the opening half of the game featured nine lead changes alone, before the two teams settled for a 33-33 halftime score. The Bucs seized control of the game with a 17-5 run just after the first media timeout of the opening half, taking a 55-44 lead. Wofford would storm back to get within two (66-64) with just over five to play, however, the Bucs would do enough, hitting their free throws late to hold on for the five-point win and avoid the potential quarterfinal upset.
Who Wins: Wofford 75, ETSU 70

Organic Acids in Lemon Juice
The main organic acids contained in the flesh of lemons are citric acid and malic acid. The sourness of citrus fruit is the taste of citric acid. The figure shows the analysis of lemon juice by a high-performance liquid chromatography organic acid analysis system.
Amino Acid Analysis System
Post-column fluorescence detection using an OPA reagent achieves at least an order of magnitude higher sensitivity than the ninhydryn method. After the amino acids are separated by ion-exchange chromatography, they are derivatized through reaction with an OPA reagent, and detected by fluorescence detection. This achieves highly accurate quantitation without the adverse effects of impurities that sometimes affect pre-column derivatization. This system is superior in terms of detection sensitivity, selectivity, and ease of operation, and is widely used for foods analysis and in other fields.

Professor Stanisław Tołpa
Polish botanist, scientist
Professor Stanisław Tołpa was a great scientist as well as a dedicated and inspiring educator. Students loved him because he taught them how to persistently strive for their goals and never give up. In May 1945, on a camel bought from the soldiers, he reached the war-torn city of Wroclaw where he settled and worked for the rest of his life. He was a pioneer of science, one of the founding fathers and the first rector of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences.
Professor Tołpa is considered the founder of modern peat science. He devoted his life to studying peat-based biologically active substances as he believed in its unique medicinal properties. After long years of intensive work, he finally managed to finalize his studies, making a great contribution to increasing the knowledge of peat – its properties and applications.
Professor Tołpa was member of numerous associations and science organizations including the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Botanical Society. He was awarded the Doctor Honoris Causa title of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences for his outstanding contribution to science.
With extraordinary determination, he finally fulfilled his dream of creating peat extract which enhances the immune system, accelerates regeneration and improves skin condition. This very extract is still the basic ingredient of tołpa® products.
We are proud to share his passion and continue his legacy.
peat – peloid, a natural organic-mineral material formed as a result of geological processes involving water and microorganisms.
(pelos = mud)
tołpa:® peat is the main component of tołpa® cosmetics, strengthening immunity, boosting regeneration and improving condition of the skin. It is a rich source of ingredients improving skin functioning. tołpa:® peat is a whole host of organic compounds, such as fulvic acids, phenolic acids, amino acids, sugars or peptides, to regenerate, strengthen, protect and nourish. A good source of minerals. Contains a number of macro- and microelements. An excellent antioxidant – a weapon against free radicals. Supports the immune system, protecting the skin against external and internal influences.

therapeutic tołpa® mud
Therapeutic mud is a type of peat. It is considered a distant relative of salty mud from the Dead Sea and the volcanic mud from Iceland. Its cosmetic properties were already appreciated by Cleopatra and its therapeutic properties were well known to the ancient Greeks.
therapeutic mud = peat mud
therapeutic tołpa® mud a form of natural biological regeneration. Reduces discomfort resulting from overexertion, fatigue and stress, supports the regeneration of the epidermis, detoxifies, fights free radicals and nourishes the skin. Effective in supporting the treatment of degenerative changes in the joints, post-traumatic conditions as well as overuse and pain syndromes, accelerates biological regeneration.
On the one hand, humic acids, present in the extract, have anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic properties and on the other hand, they have an excellent effect on the skin, for example by preventing the loss of skin elasticity and ensuring good hydration. They remove toxins, cleansing the skin and increasing the absorption of other active ingredients. Therapeutic tołpa® mud has also been proven to have anti-cellulite, slimming, firming, toning, regenerating, protective and moisturising effects.

It is no secret that the Internet has become an essential part of modern life today. Whether it is to stay connected with friends and family, shop online, or work remotely, having reliable and fast internet access is a must. Unfortunately, not all homes have access to reliable high-speed internet. Fortunately, there are solutions such as hotspot WiFi for your home that can help you get the connection you need without breaking the bank. In this blog post, we will discuss what hotspot WiFi for home is and how it can provide reliable and fast internet in your home.
What Is Hotspot WiFi For Home?
Instead of having to rely on traditional wired service providers like cable companies or DSL providers, you can install a Hotspot WiFi for your home to get high-speed broadband internet in your house. Hotspots are wireless routers that use cellular networks (such as 4G LTE) instead of cables to provide broadband internet access at speeds comparable to those provided by traditional service providers. They are typically easy to set up and require minimal maintenance compared to wired services.
Benefits Of Using Hotspot Wifi For Home
There are several benefits of using a hotspot wifi router instead of relying on traditional wired services such as cable or DSL when it comes to providing reliable and fast internet for your home:
- Cost – One of the biggest advantages of using a hotspot wifi router is its cost-effectiveness. They are usually much cheaper than signing up with a traditional service provider like Comcast or ATandT, which can be very expensive depending on where you live. Additionally, many hotspots do not require contracts. So, you don’t have to worry about being locked into long-term agreements or paying extra fees if you decide to cancel early.
- Portability – Another great benefit of using a hotspot wifi router is its portability. Since they use cellular networks instead of cables, they can be taken anywhere there’s cell phone coverage. So, if you ever move houses or go on a vacation, you won’t have any trouble getting online wherever you go.
- Speed – Lastly, most hotspots offer speeds comparable (if not better) than those offered by traditional service providers. So, even if your area doesn’t have access to fiber optics technology yet, you can still get good-quality connections from your router at home.
How To Choose The Right Hotspot Wifi Router For Your Needs?
When choosing a hotspot wifi router for your needs, there are several factors that should be considered, such as speed, coverage area, data plans available, etc. Here are some tips that might help make the selection process easier:
- Decide On A Budget – The first step would be deciding how much money you want/can spend on a new router, as this will narrow down the options significantly. Most routers range from around $50-$200, depending on the features included. So, make sure to know exactly what budget range works best for you before making any decisions.
- Check Coverage Area and Data Plans Available – Before buying any type of cellular network-based device, it’s important to make sure there’s good cell phone coverage in your area. So, check out different carriers’ coverage maps online before committing to anything. Also, consider data plans available from each carrier as this could affect the overall cost too.
- Consider Features and Speeds Offered By Different Routers – Once everything else has been figured out, take time to look at different routers available within your budget range. Consider features offered by each model (e.g., number of antennas/ports), speeds offered (adsl2+, 3G/4G), customer reviews, etc., before making the final decision.
Using a hotspot wifi router can be an excellent option when trying to find a reliable and fast broadband connection without having to break bank accounts for contracts with expensive service providers like cable companies or DSL providers. With the tips mentioned above, selecting the right one according to your needs should be easy. Pick the perfect solution to suit your individual situation while saving significant money at the same time, as well.

Prince William and Prince Harry will not walk together at their grandfather’s funeral. Prince Philip’s funeral will be on Saturday.
Buckingham Palace issued the attendees and procession order for Prince Philip’s upcoming funeral at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on Thursday. William, 38, and Harry, 36, will walk behind their grandfather’s coffin with family members, but their cousin, Peter Phillips (son of Princess Anne), will walk between them.
Prince William would accompany Peter in the second procession into the chapel. Prince Harry and David Armstrong-Jones, the son of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, will be behind them.
According to a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace, the procession order was “a real improvement rather than sending a signal.” “This is a funeral, and we’re not going to get caught up in the drama. The arrangements have been settled upon and are under Her Majesty’s wishes.”
COVID-19 regulations require attendees to wear masks and sit six feet apart once within the chapel.
For the first time in over a year, Harry returned to the United Kingdom to attend his grandfather’s funeral. Meghan, expecting their second child, a daughter, did not join her husband on his trip. According to a royal spokesperson, her physician has advised her not to fly.
There are already issues within the family following Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey last month.
Meghan Denied Claims That She Made Kate Middleton Weep In The Run-Up To Her 2018 Wedding
Meghan denied claims that she made Kate Middleton weep in the run-up to her 2018 wedding in a CBS tell-all interview, saying “the opposite happened.” (According to a source, both women were in tears due to the incident.)
They also accused the royal family of bigotry, claiming that they had “concerns” over their children’s skin color and failed to support Meghan when she was suicidal.
“We are very much not a racist family,” William told a reporter during an outing in response to the racism allegations.
“No, I haven’t spoken to him yet,” he said when asked if he had spoken to Harry after the Oprah interview.
According to Gayle King, Harry spoke with William and Charles last month, who is acquainted with Oprah and the Duchess of Sussex. “Those talks, according to what I was told, were not fruitful. They are glad, however, that they have at least begun a discussion, “she said.
The Duke of Edinburgh will rest at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on Saturday, surrounded only by close family and friends, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, former palace spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson says, “Ironically, it’s probably how he would have wanted.” “There’s no muss, no mess. He had no idea what all the fuss was about his whole life.”
Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward, Charles’ wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Anne’s husband Timothy Laurence, and Edward’s wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, will be in attendance.
The funeral will also include Philip’s eight grandchildren. Kate Middleton, Zara Tindall’s husband Mike, Princess Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, and Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will all be in attendance with their spouses.
Other guests include members of Prince Philip’s close staff and family.
Following Meghan Markle And Prince Harry’s Interview, Prince William Was Very Protective Of Kate
In the wake of his brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince William is standing by his wife, Kate Middleton.
Meghan answered claims that she made Kate weep over a dispute about bridesmaid dresses. The dresses were for Meghan and Harry’s wedding.
Penny Junor, a biographer of both Prince William and Prince Harry, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story, “William is very protective of Kate and can get very upset.”
Meghan, 39, explained that Kate, 39, later apologized in the interview.
“And I don’t say that to belittle anybody,” Meghan said, “because it was a trying week leading up to the wedding, and she was upset about something.” “But she took responsibility for it, apologized, and gave me flowers and a note of apology.”
According to a palace source, there was “rage” among the royals. And their staff as they digested the numerous claims and counter-claims in the aftermath of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview.
Meghan Had Suicidal Thoughts
Meghan said she had suicidal thoughts. And made the explosive argument that there were “concerns and discussions” about how dark her son Archie’s skin would be when he was born. She said it with several other shocking revelations in the interview. Harry also said that the monarchy has “trapped” his father and brother.
Meghan compared her treatment by the British tabloids to Kate’s early days in the royal family. She compared her treatment in additional clips broadcast on CBS.
“This was odd,” Meghan said of the media’s treatment of her. “Different because of race?” Oprah inquired, to which Meghan replied, “And because of social media.”
Meghan continued, “Kate was dubbed ‘Waity Katie,’ as she awaited William’s marriage. While I think it was difficult — and I do. I can’t imagine how difficult it was. This isn’t the same, “Meghan explained how negative coverage of Kate did not compare to what she had to deal with. “And even though a member of his family can confidently state, ‘We’ve all had to deal with some rude stuff,’ rude and racist are not the same thing.”

عنوان مقاله [English]
Creation and propagation of unsteady flow in irrigation canals causes changes in water delivery to canal intakes. Unsteady flow in irrigation canals usually form by operation of check structures. Up to now simulation of unsteady gradually varied flow in irrigation canals has been considered in various researches. Simulation of unsteady gradually varied flow mostly done using available hydrodynamic models, but these models can’t simulate unsteady rapidly varied flow. In this research, using MacCormack numerical method, a numerical model was developed to solve the governing equations for rapidly unsteady varied flows, and the TVD method was used to control unrealistic and non-physical oscillations. The model was developed in MATLAB programming environment to simulate positive waves caused by the suddenly closure of a gate at the end of the E1R1 canal in Dez irrigation network and a hypothetical channel. The results showed that the higher flow in the gate at the moment of gate closure causes the higher numerical solution errors. Also, the results showed that the simulation using MacCormack method would have a large error, but the simultaneous application of the TVD and MacCormack method could reduce the numerical solution errors and simulate the water surface fluctuations according to the reality.

2800 Calorie Diet: How Many Servings of
For the 2800 Calorie Diet, the Vegetable Group daily serving recommendation equals 3.5 cups which is the same recommended amount for the 2600 kcal plan.
1 cup of carrot juice; carrots are rich in Vitamin A which supports eye health.
1/2 cup of okra; mix it with tomatoes and get a healthy dose of lycopene.
1/2 cup of protein-rich black beans
We have a wonderful vegetable based recipe that we'd like to share that can fit smoothly into your diet plan which features a mix of vegetables.
You will need your roasting pan for this recipe. Simply coat all of the root vegetables with the extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with the pepper and add the fresh chopped parsley. Add three cups of chicken broth, reduced fat; you can opt for the containers of broth which are pre-made, or you can use the bouillon cubes, chicken flavor. Beef or vegetable based one will also work but the chicken type is very rich in flavor and goes so well with the assortment of root vegetables.
Roast in a preheated 375 degree oven until the vegetables are tender - about 20 to 30 minutes. This is the assortment that we suggest; however - you can substitute your favorites for any of the following. Note that we didn't add additional salt as the bouillon adds an ample amount.
4 whole carrots, peeled with both ends removed
3 whole russet or white potatoes, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
4-5 peeled and rinsed parsnips, ends removed
6 stalks of celery with the strings removed
1 large onion cut into wedges
3 small whole turnips
We'll use a little cooking oil to prepare this recipe - but we'll keep it limited as it's steep in calorie and of course, fat content. We suggest either peanut or canola oil for this recipe.
2 cups of your favorite vegetables; we like the following mix: carrots, onion, corn kernels, sliced mushrooms and yellow or zucchini squash. You will need to shred the squash, onions and carrots.
1 cup of all purpose self rising flour plus about 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 large egg, slightly beaten
Combine all of the ingredients and place a thin layer of cooking oil in a non-stick pan. Place the vegetable mixture into the pan by large spoons to create nice-size patties. Brown on both sides; drain on a paper towel so that any excess oil will be wicked away.

Aims. This paper is devoted to a comparison between observations and simulations of the so-called Oort spike formed by the “new” observable long-period comets.
Methods. The synthetic distributions of observable comets come from the propagation of a huge sample of objects during the age of the solar system that were initially in a proto-Oort cloud, which was flattened around the ecliptic and had perihelia in the region of Uranus and Neptune. For the known new long-period comets, two samples were used, one that is assumed to be complete, and the comets of the other exclusively come from the Warsaw catalog of comets. The original orbital energy of the comets in this catalog is more reliable.
Results. Considering comets with a perihelion distance smaller than 4 AU, for which one of our samples of known comets can be assumed to be complete, the comparison shows small but significant differences in the orbital energy distribution and in the proportion of retrograde comets. When we extend the limiting perihelion distance to 10 AU, the observed samples are obviously strongly incomplete. The synthetic distribution showsthat the number of observable comets per year and per perihelion distance unit is ∝q1.09 for q< 4 AU and ∝q2.13 for 6 <q< 10 AU. The increase for q> 6 AU comes from comets that were already within the Jupiter-Saturn barrier (q< 15 AU) at their previous perihelion passage (which we call creepers and Kaib and Quinn creepers), with original semi-major axes generally smaller than 20 000 AU.
Conclusions. To explain the small but significant differences between our synthetic sample and the known comets for a perihelion distance smaller than 4 AU, different hypotheses are proposed: a still erroneous value of the original orbital energy in the observed sample, a higher density of low-mass stars in the actual solar neighborhood, a ninth planet, and obviously the initial population of objects from which the synthetic distributions are derived.

Ace of Hearts (2008 film)
|Ace of Hearts|
|Directed by||David Mackay|
|Produced by||Randy Cheveldave|
|Written by||Frederick Ayeroff|
Anne Marie Loder
|Music by||Michael Richard Plowman|
|Edited by||Charles Robichaud|
Reader's Digest for Young Families
|Distributed by||Fox Faith|
|Running time||100 minutes|
Ace of Hearts is a 2008 English Canadian family drama film directed by David Mackay. It features Dean Cain, Mike Dopud, Britt McKillip and Anne Marie Loder in the lead roles. It revolves around a K9 dog named Ace, his handler Dan (Dean Cain), and Torco (Mike Dopud) the criminal.
The film is about a K-9 dog named Ace. The police was trying to catch a robber whom they have nicknamed "Goliath". The police and the dogs are on the track of Torco. Ace's trainer, Dan, allows Ace to take down Torco. Ace takes Torco down, and keeps him down, until Dan arrives. When police see the injuries to Torco's neck, they believe it is a result of Ace biting him. They send Ace to be euthanized, but he escapes.
Dan goes to the crime scene and sees the area is under 24-hour surveillance. He goes onto the scene and finds a piece of barbed wire, which he believes Torco used to slash himself with. Dan tries to get over the grief of losing Ace by trying out other dogs, but to no success. Julia, Dan's daughter, sees Ace on the television, but her parents do not believe since Ace's supposed ashes are received by mail. Julia convinces Dan to take them down to downtown Wenatchee to see if the dog is Ace. When they arrive Ace has already escaped. During the trip back home, Julia sees Ace, who has hopped into the back of a towed car. Ace sees her and waves, which is a trick she taught him.
The Captain brings Dan in to show him surveillance tape. It shows Torco first fending off Ace with barbed wire but then, slashing himself with it. Julia stays out at Torco's house since he framed Ace. Torco comes home from work early and sees Julia. After entering his house he finds a box which held the glass cutter open, in the kitchen he sees the drawer with cutlery ajar. He then sees some alum on the floor and sees the alum container not in the correct position. Julia had taken some of the alum and a picture of the cutter before she left. Torco goes to Julia's house. She tells her mom about Torco and the two of them chased him out of the house. Ace comes and brings down Torco, but Torco stabs Ace with a piece of glass. Torco is then arrested. Dan allows Julia to go to the K-9 competition with Ace, where Ace wins the first place.

lower priced loose tea
Ive been buying my teas from places like teavana and i wanted to know if theres anything more affordable but equally as good. Thanks!
Most of the good online tea shops have better quality tea and are cheaper than Teavana. What kind of tea are you interested in? Depending on what you drink – flavored, unflavored, greens, blacks, puerhs, etc. – I can offer some suggestions.
Teavana has in my opinion lower quality tea than many smaller vendors. Try Mandala Tea at www.shopmandalatea.com.
The answer would depend what country you are in due to shipping/currency.
For US, Upton is pretty cheap http://www.uptontea.com/
Affordable tea price and good tea flavour can be pretty subjective.
I would suggest you set a price range first. For example, $10 -$15 (per 50g) is an affordable range for a green Oolong tea you are going to brew daily. Then, you can try to buy some tea samplers or the smallest package (within your price range) from different suppliers. Then, you will be able to compare the different tea quality from suppliers and find your favourite one.
It’s always fun during the process of searching your loved tea. :)

Digital, networked and intuitive to use: The ŠKODA OCTAVIA’s infotainment systems
- ŠKODA OCTAVIA’s infotainment system and vehicle settings controlled via touch screen; gesture and voice control available
- New-generation infotainment systems enable innovative operating concepts via smartphone
- Video highlights the intuitive use of wireless connectivity features in new edition of brand’s bestseller
Mladá Boleslav, 19 June 2020 – The driver gets into their ŠKODA OCTAVIA and is welcomed by name on the central 10-inch display. Their smartphone automatically and wirelessly connects to the infotainment system. The driver’s seat moves electrically to the preferred position, and the exterior mirrors adjust themselves. The Climatronic already knows the preferred temperature, and the desired radio station can be set with a simple swiping gesture. The driver tells the ŠKODA digital assistant Laura where they want to go, and the navigation system calculates the optimal route to the destination online. Just a few years ago this scenario would have been almost unimaginable but is now reality with the third-generation modular infotainment systems in the OCTAVIA – and these systems are as intuitive to use as a smartphone. Also, the driver can customise and split the screen according to their preferences and configure the home screen with the most important functions.
In less than a decade, the smartphone has revolutionised the way mobile phones are used. Nowadays, hardly anyone misses the classic keyboard; touching, swiping and scrolling are intuitive, and the increasingly popular voice control makes using one even easier. ŠKODA has now consistently transferred these operating concepts to the new OCTAVIA’s infotainment systems and incorporated the intuitive operation of a smartphone and the possibilities of new voice assistants into the model.
Reiner Katzwinkel, Head of Development of Electrics and Electronics at ŠKODA AUTO, says: “The new OCTAVIA is now even more digital and networked and has never been easier to operate. The fourth generation of our bestseller has a completely new infotainment system that ŠKODA is using for the first time on this scale. Compared to the previous generation, the technology and operability of the system, as well as its range of functions, are a big change, making driving even safer and more comfortable.”
Easy customisation of the 10-inch central display
The heart of the Columbus, Swing and Bolero (by end of 2020) infotainment systems in the new OCTAVIA is the free-standing central display with a screen diagonal of 10 inches – the largest ever in a ŠKODA model. With its glass surface and clean design, it is similar to the latest smartphones and tablets. Just as with these mobile devices, the OCTAVIA enables the driver to customise, split and assign the most important functions to the home screen. Individual elements can be moved and rearranged by touch, in the same way as you can on a smartphone. A simple swipe gesture or short voice command is sufficient to switch between individual windows or radio stations.
To adjust the volume, either the control buttons on the steering wheel or the new innovative touch slider can be used directly. This is positioned in front of the lower edge of the central display in such a way that it can be found immediately in the dark or without looking. One finger is used to adjust the volume, and two fingers are used to change the size of the navigation map in the navigation menu. For the first time, the Columbus infotainment system can now display a different zoom resolution than the map in the Virtual Cockpit. Alternatively, the map section in the central display can be made bigger or smaller using a zoom gesture with two fingers directly on the glass surface.
The touch slider, as well as buttons and rotary controls on the multifunction steering wheel and the intelligent ŠKODA digital assistant Laura, help to ensure that OCTAVIA drivers rarely need to take their eyes off the road to operate the infotainment functions. The first-ever head-up display in a ŠKODA, which is available as an option for the OCTAVIA, also contributes to this. It projects data such as speed, navigation instructions, recognised traffic signs or activated driver assistance systems onto the windscreen directly in the driver’s field of vision, allowing them to concentrate on the road ahead.
“The new OCTAVIA’s infotainment systems offer the user a wealth of personalisation and operation options never before seen in the heart of our brand. Thanks to the intuitive new systematics of our infotainment solutions, people can quickly find their way around and no longer want to be without its advantages and conveniences in everyday life,” adds Reiner Katzwinkel.
Wireless SmartLink technology: the clever smartphone connectivity solution
The new OCTAVIA’s Columbus, Swing and Bolero (by end of 2020) infotainment systems use wireless SmartLink technology to connect to your Apple iOS or Android smartphone. After one-time pairing, the mobile device automatically connects when entering the vehicle. The optional Phone Box also enables inductive smartphone charging and connects the phone to the vehicle’s external antenna. Via Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink™, selected smartphone apps can be operated via the central vehicle display.
Advanced climate control settings that go beyond Laura’s adjustable temperature selection can also be conveniently set via the central display. The clearly arranged menu can also be accessed directly by pressing a button in the centre console. In addition, further shortcut keys can be used to activate the maximum fan speed for the windscreen and switch on the rear window heating.
The OCTAVIA stores all infotainment-system and air-conditioning presets, as well as the adjustment of the driver’s seat and the outside mirrors, in the ŠKODA cloud as soon as the driver’s ŠKODA Connect account is activated in the vehicle. The preferences of up to 14 individual users can be stored or transferred to another ŠKODA model that is also equipped with the latest generation infotainment system.

A short description of what Geospatial Toolkit does
The Open Foris Geospatial Toolkit (OFGT) contains functionalities for radiometric harmonization, image segmentation and image arithmetic, as well as image statistics, feature extraction and other image processing analysis. The great potential of OFGT is its capacity to deal with large data sets. First of all the processing itself takes a fraction of time than with conventional software. And second, automatized data processing makes applications repeatable, which is of high advantage for many projects.

Glucocorticoid treatment increases density of serotonin 5-HT2A receptors in humans
2012 (English)In: Psychoneuroendocrinology, ISSN 0306-4530, E-ISSN 1873-3360, Vol. 38, no 7, 1014-1020 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Background: Interactions between the serotonergic system and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis have been suggested, albeit the details for such interactions have yet to be established. Animal studies have shown that the density of serotonin 5-HT2A receptors is increased after administration of exogenous glucocorticoids.
Objective: The objective of this study was to explore possible changes in the pattern of density and affinity of 5-HT2A receptors in humans after treatment with glucocorticoids.
Methods: Using a radioactive binding assay, the density and affinity (measured as Bmax and Kd) of 5-HT2A serotonin receptors were measured in blood samples drawn from 27 individuals diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica and/or giant cell arteritis before and after start of an oral treatment with prednisolone. For each patient Bmax and Kd at baseline before prednisolone treatment were compared with Bmax and Kd in samples drawn at a first and second follow-up clinic visit at an average of 8.8 (±2.5) days and 33.6 (±6.8) days, respectively.
Results: The density of 5-HT2A receptors increased after treatment in 23 individuals. The mean Bmax value at baseline for all patients was 45.2 fmol/mg protein compared with 64.9 fmol/mg protein in the corresponding samples drawn at the second follow-up visit (p = 0.001). There also was an association between individuals accumulated prednisolone dose and the magnitude of change in Bmax between baseline and the first follow-up visit. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, platelet count or gender had no influence on the results. There were no significant differences in Kd during the treatment period. However, a low Kd value at baseline was a predictor for an increase in Bmax following treatment.
Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the density of 5-HT2A serotonin receptors in man is increased after a subchronic treatment with glucocorticoids. The magnitude of the increase appears to be associated with the affinity of 5-HT2A receptors before treatment and the accumulated dose of glucocorticoid early in the treatment period.

It looks like we are getting new music from SZA earlier than expected.
On Sunday (Dec. 10) which marks a day after the anniversary of SOS, the singer took to social media to reveal 6 different artworks for her new album LANA which took fans by surprise. The project was initially supposed to be a deluxe version of her 5x platinum album SOS but SZA later revealed that it had become an album of its own.
During her surprise performance in New York’s Brooklyn Navy Yard, SZA talked about the project: “The deluxe [album] is like a whole ‘notha album called Lana, [and] it’s seven to 10 songs, and it’ll be out this fall.”
She further shared that it became her first tattoo ever after she couldn’t afford the first two letters in “Solána,” her birth name.
In a recent interview with Variety, she said the deluxe had evolved into its own project and could drop anytime. “It was gonna be outtakes and some new songs, but it’s become more than I expected,” she admitted. “It was gonna be really soft because I had made all my screaming points, and I just wanted to glide and not think [too much] and get out of my own head. I was so happy to say some s**t that didn’t mean a f**king thing.”
“It’s definitely turning into its own album… and I guess I could drop a new album randomly because no one’s actually expecting that from me right now,” SZA added. “But I can’t tell if now’s the time to be consistent or carefree. On the one hand, it’s like, ‘What would Beyoncé do?’ but I am also deeply inspired by people who do whatever the f**k they want, like Frank Ocean and André 3000. Some of my favorite songs were the ones that I dropped on SoundCloud [early in her career] because it was so stress-free.”
While SZA shared the different covers for LANA today, we don’t know exactly when the album will arrive. Stay tuned. Check out all the versions below.

Today's weather trivia: 3 November
1877: The Rondeau News reported about a fish shower near Harwich, ON: "I
filled the pail (with fresh fish) . . . and having deposited my burden
returned to collect the remainder . . . As to whether these now famous
fishes fell 6 feet or 6,000, I know not. One thing I know, that they were
scattered for about three-quarters of a mile." In the previous 2 days,
rainfall totalled more than 15 mm.

The LVF unit, a new miniature back pressure regulator
Equilibar received many requests to develop a miniature back pressure regulator. Customers who are doing catalytic research with multiple reactor systems at high temperature had the most requests. In this situation, customers often place the back pressure regulators inside an oven with limited space. Therefore Equilibar downsized their unique multi-orifice design to a smaller back pressure regulator with a diameter of less than 40 mm. The Equilibar® LVF unit has a staggering Cv turndown ratio of 1:100.000. We use small process connections of 1/16” because of the small size of the back pressure regulator. The Cv range is only a bit compromised due to the process connection, but still 10e-7 up to 0,01.

As we watched the video of, we noticed it seems to be turbine-powered. If the company's claims are to be believed, Flyboard Air could someday become a true flying personal transport vehicle.
We're also enjoying the video from Volocopter, which recently completed the first manned flight of its 18-rotor aircraft. Between this electric helicopter and true flying boards, the future of personal transport looks delightful (albeit a little short-lived, if flight durations are taken into account).
Who needs a hoverboard when you can fly around on this thing? (Tomorrow Daily 346)
Of course, you can find us everywhere on social media. Like, follow and heart us as you desire!

The sound of thunder woke me. Big, loud, cracking wake up and stay up thunder, not the chilled, distant Riders on the Storm thunder programmed to alarm on my phone an hour later. Then it started raining. Yesterdays forecast promised dry warm weather so imagine my surprise. This was not in the script. I wondered what is it about the enigmatic British weather this year that prevents a warm, dry spell from lasting more than a day?
The roads were wet & the air moist with humidity rather than rain when I dragged myself out. It was the 1st time in a couple of weeks that I didn’t need long sleeves. The changed forecast was right, thunder storms earlier followed by a humid dry day & it was already mild at 6.30.
From experience I know that humid weather in my eastern part of the UK means unsettled weather so anxiously checked the weather app every hour. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind a bit of rain & after last winter’s commuting most weeks, I no longer consider myself fair weather. But after a couple of months of rain free riding, I didn’t really fancy getting the water proofs out or a bolt of lightening finding me. More thunder on my journey back was promised.
My window of opportunity at 5 came and went & it wasn’t until 6 that I left and a route with plenty of pubs in which to take refuge if needed was planned. No sign of thunder, lightening or rain. In fact it was a glorious warm evening with a watery sunset behind me, dry roads & pub free stops.
Changable weather this weekend beckons but won’t stop me racking an imperial ton for the week, the 1st in absolute ages. Nice…

2012 will be the year of the cheap smartphone, with an estimated half billion to be in use by year end globally.
Deloitte’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications division has announced its predictions for the year, and the explosive growth of cheap smartphones ($100 or £65) are expected to tip 500 million owners by the end of 2012.
The smartphone market is currently dominated by Apple’s iPhone and Samsung devices running Google’s Android smartphone software, both of which cost around £500.
Deloitte says that the cheap smart phone market will explode in 2012. It estimates that 100 million of these devices have already been sold, and is tipping a further 300 million to ship in 2012. By year end, $100 smartphones will represent 20% of all phones shipped, and 33% of all smartphones shipped.
These sub-$100 devices will share some fucnationality with Samsung and Apple’s high end offerings, such as touch screens or full keyboards, but will bear lower specifications. They will have weaker processors (around 200-600Mhz compared to 1.5GHz), less memory (both storage and RAM) and lower resolution cameras (2MP as opposed to 10-20MP).
The targeted consumers will happily accept the cost/performance trade off, particularly in emerging markets where most will be upgrading from very basic feature phones. The growth of this market has been compared to the growth of the netbook, which offered low cost, low power alternatives for the third world, but ended up gaining popularity in the first world too. These devices will also be popular amongst teenagers in the first world looking for their first smartphone.
Few of these devices are expected to have 3G capabilities, focusing instead on the cheaper, more ubiquitous 2G technologies such as GPRS and EDGE. The key upgrade across for smartphone devices in 2011-2012 will be the integration of Wi-Fi capabilities, as the component prices here have fallen dramatically. This means these devices will also support email and instant messaging services, as well as pre-loaded apps in a closed OS, rather than utilising the high data requirements of serious app store.
The performance of these devices in developing markets is driven by the lack of physical IT telecommuncations infrastructure, such as telephone lines and fibre optics. As the report states, ‘the $100 smartphone may offer the easiest, most affordable way to satisfy communication and information needs in the developing world."
App developers in particular may want to adapt their software to suit this new market, who may not have access to app stores, extensive data services or even access to a credit card. These apps will also need to work on lower powered devices, if any software developer is looking at targeting the third world.
The boom in this industry will cause a flow on effect that may also see component producers come under added downward cost pressure across the whole supply chain. Touch screens, for example, have fallen in price by a third. Those producers that won’t or can’t make the price cuts will provide an opening for emerging markets suppliers, who may also look to break into the mainstream smartphone market.

Can you poop out mucus when sick?
Although viruses such as the common cold or flu often result in increased mucus production, this typically only affects your respiratory system.
It rarely results in increased mucus in the stool.
Dehydration and constipation may also produce excess mucus, or at least give the appearance of increased mucus..
Is it better to stop diarrhea or let it go?
You may have heard it’s better to let diarrhea run its course rather than treating it. But except in a few cases where you should see your doctor (see “How to find diarrhea relief” for more information), you can treat your diarrhea at home with nonprescription medications.
Why does pooping make your stomach feel better?
According to the authors, this feeling, which they call “poo-phoria,” occurs when your bowel movement stimulates the vagus nerve, which runs from your brainstem to your colon. Your vagus nerve is involved in key bodily functions, including digestion and regulating your heart rate and blood pressure.
Does diarrhea detox your body?
It is your body’s way of quickly clearing viruses, bacteria, or toxins from the digestive tract. Since most cases of diarrhea are viral, they will clear up in a few days with good home treatment.
Should healthy poop float or sink?
Normal, healthy stool is solid and doesn’t usually float or stick to the sides of the toilet bowl. But floating feces alone is not usually a sign of serious illness, and most of the time things will go back to normal with a change in diet.
Is diarrhea good when sick?
It turns out your runs serve a purpose. Diarrhea is one of the least pleasant parts of dealing with a stomach bug. But according to a new Brigham and Women’s Hospital study published in Cell Host and Microbe, it’s a blessing in disguise: You’re essentially pooping out the bacteria that made you sick.

Tracking the Body, Wing, and Leg Kinematics of Moving Mosquitoes
Tyson, Hedrick L.; Dickerson, Andrew K.; Muijres, F.T.; Pieters, R.P.M.
In this protocol, we discuss general techniques for tracking the three-dimensional (3D) locations of the mosquito body, wings, legs, or other features of interest using videos. Tracking data must be acquired to produce detailed kinematics of moving mosquitoes. The software of focus for this protocol, DLTdv, was chosen for its widespread use and excellent support and because it is open-source. In addition, DLTdv allows both manual and automatic tracking. The automatic tracking can be done using a classic machine vision or machine-learning algorithm. The software supports both single-camera analysis and multicamera systems and can take advantage of sophisticated calibration algorithms, both for intrinsic lens distortion correction and for 3D DLT-based reconstruction. For this protocol, we assume all kinematic data is acquired post hoc through video analysis.

[wpcol_1half id=”” class=”” style=””]
With the current trend of home users having large flat screen TVs mounted on their walls, or even having a ceiling mounted projector for that matter, most people start to find that a mass of cables coming down to their DVD players, games consoles & media centres etc is very unsightly. Edimax have created a solution to this problem with the WHDI caster, which removes the need to have an HDMI cable (or two) running up and down the wall.
The WD1000-TR is a very simple yet effective solution to this unassumingly simple problem, by having a transmitter that connects to the source and a receiver that can be mounted near to the TV or up next to a projector, eliminating the need for those unwanted cables. The WD1000-TR supports full HD resolutions as well as AC-3 & DTS audio streaming, and also boasts a less than 1ms latency for those gamers that would otherwise worry about any lag during play.
The WHDI Caster comes in a dark teal coloured box and on the front lists a brief run down of what its function is. Along the bottom, there is a highlight of devices that are supported, including games consoles, media players and projectors.
The back of the box shows us how the caster would be installed on both the transmitter and receiver ends. Below this is indicated which type of mains plug is included for use in different countries.
Paperwork wise, there is a multi language quick installation guide for setting up the system and this also comes on a CD with the user manual.
Alongside the transmitter and receiver, there are two power adaptors; one with mini USB and one with a DC jack, a small ~6″ HMDI cable, a longer length HDMI cable and a USB Y-cable for powering the transmitter directly off USB instead of the mains.
On the rear of the transmitter is an HDMI port for connecting the source device to and also a mini-USB for power, either by the mains plug or the included USB Y-cable.
[/wpcol_1half][wpcol_1half_end id=”” class=”” style=””]The receiver unit is far larger in length and width to the transmitter, but this does contain more inside including the antenna and the graphics card to reproduce the image on screen. On the front are two buttons, one being the power and the other for bringing up the OSD with a quick press or for changing the channel (long press) if there is interference from other nearby devices.
On the rear of the receiver is an HDMI port, DC power jack and a mini-USB service port although this has no use to the end user.
On the rear of the receiver are two screw holes for mounting to a wall. This would be most beneficial where the receiving source is a wall mounted TV or a projector mounted on the ceiling.
Setup is a simple as connecting the transmitter to the source device (in our case a laptop for testing) and then connecting the other half to a TV or projector. As soon as the power is on, the receiver automatically searches for and locks onto the WHDI signal and that is it! No further setup is required. The only intervention that may be required on the receiver end is changing the receiving channel in the event that another device in the vicinity of the receiver is operating on the sane 5Ghz band is therefore potentially interfering with the signal. This would be noticed with either loss of sound or distortion in the image that is reproduced. There are not many tests as such than can be done with a device of this type, but to check how well things worked, I streamed an array of content from a colour enriched HD movie (in this case Toy Story 3) to a fast moving film, then playing Rock Band 3 (for any latency and decoding delay) and finally by streaming audio content across to look for any loss in audio quality.
Throughout all the testing it was hard to notice that the source was not directly connected to the TV at all, even by placing the transmitter further away to take into account different situations of setup showed no real difference. During game play where the milliseconds of latency can make a difference – especially in Rock Band – there was little to no difference in the experience had. To double check this, I re-calibrated my guitar with the TV a number of times with both the caster connected and without and the average difference between the two was a mere 2 milliseconds, oh so close to the <1ms latency that the WD1000-TR claims to offer.
The WHDI Caster worked very well upto its specified range of 10m after which the receiver was unable to locate a signal to lock onto. I did also note that having the transmitter in a neighbouring room did affect the signal, however in a real world scenario, the system is going to be setup in a way that this would not be an issue to most users.
So all in all, why would you want one of these devices? Surely its far easier to run a cable from point to point? Well in a nut shell yes it is, however, there are the situations where you don’t want to be running loads of cables up your wall to the TV and in an corporate environment for example its not necessarily practical to keep reaching up to a ceiling mounted projector to connect a laptop or other media device.
The Edimax WD-100TR is available for £111.56 which may seem a lot to some of us, but what we have to consider is that the other options that are available on the market vary from £100 right up to the £450 mark. For this reason we can safely say that the Edimax WD1000-TR is priced very competitively and its performance for this price in comparison to the competition is outstanding.

There’s a favorable political wind blowing in Wisconsin for future turbine projects designed to generate electricity.
When the state legislature adjourned last week, no action was taken to amend wind turbine siting rules that had been temporarily suspended over the past 12 months. As a result of the inaction, the previously adopted rules went into effect with little or no fanfare.
That was good news, according to Jay Mundinger, founding principal of Emerging Energies of Wisconsin LLC, which is proposing a 41-turbine wind farm in the Town of Forest in northeastern St. Croix County.
Mundinger said the state rules now provide a “uniform standard” for siting and constructing turbines across the state.
“We’re excited about that,” he said. “It gives us definite guidelines to follow.”
With the rules now in place, Mundinger said the Highland Wind Farm LLC project and others across Wisconsin can proceed. He said the turbines will not only generate alternative and green energy, the wind farms will create jobs and provide significant annual payments to landowners and communities.
Wisconsin’s new turbine siting rules are comparable to other states in the Midwest, thus opening the state to even more wind farms in the future, Mundinger said.
The other side
The news about the state rules was not as welcomed by some landowners in the Town of Forest. An active group of opponents to the Highland project, called the Forest Voice, continues to contend that the turbines don’t belong in this rural township.
“This (the state rules) makes it very ugly for us,” said John Strom, a town resident. “The non-participating parcels will be impacted. This is very bad news for Forest Township.”
Strom and LaVerne Hoitomt, another town resident, are upset that the new rules allow wind turbines, which would be about 500 feet tall in Forest, to be within 1,250 feet of a current residence.
Even at that distance, Strom contends, homeowners will be negatively impacted by noise, shadows and “flicker.”
Strom said emerging research indicates that people who live near wind turbines may suffer from health effects related to their operation.
The impact of infrasound (sound waves generated at a level below the human ear’s audible range) has caused trouble in numerous homes that are next to turbines, he claimed.
“You’re going to get more headaches and you’re going to get more cranky than normal, and you won’t know why,” he explained.
Hoitomt said “flicker” from turbines has forced many homeowners to put heavy blankets in their windows to shield the interior from shadows generated by the blades in motion.
Strom claims that voltage collector circuits, that will likely be buried in town ditches, could be cause for concern as well. If the wind farm project goes ahead, Strom claims, when people go to their mailboxes they might be standing above high voltage lines.
Hoitomt said there are also concerns that those collector lines might interfere with telephone or television reception in the area.
Apart from the health concerns, Strom said, the loss of land rights by non-participating landowners is significant. If a turbine is placed about 1,250 away from a home, any land within that 1,250 radius would have building restrictions placed on it limiting any future housing, garage or shed projects. A more reasonable siting guideline would be 1,250 feet from a turbine to the nearest property line, Strom said, so land rights on adjoining properties are not impacted.
Strom noted that more than 75 percent of Forest residents oppose the wind farm project, and that three-quarters of the town’s population owns about 85 percent of the land in the township.
“We’re not anti-wind,” Strom said. “We are against irresponsible siting. You shouldn’t have turbines in a densely populated or small parcel area like Forest.”
Strom claims only 18 turbines could comfortably be located in the Town of Forest, but the Highland Wind Farm proposal was bumped up to 41 units because the developer wanted to bypass local rules related to turbine siting.
It’s unclear now if local voices will be able to sway the PSC’s decision on the matter, Strom said. No application for a wind farm has ever been overturned by the PSC, Strom claimed.
“The passions on this are running extremely high,” Strom admitted. “People are scared. People are angry and people are frustrated.”
That’s not the way things started out. Emerging Energies and town officials worked cooperatively for a number of years to bring the turbines in. But eventually an outcry from some local residents over the wind issue resulted in the entire Forest Town Board being recalled by voters.
A new board was subsequently elected and previous permits and approvals were voided. Those opposed to the wind project charged that the previous board and Emerging Energies worked quietly behind-the-scenes to push the project ahead and few people realized what was going on.
To keep the project on course, Highland officials increased the size of the project and applied with the Public Service Commission for approval. Emerging Energies is awaiting word about whether their application is complete. If the application is accepted, the process of approvals will officially kick in.
Mundinger said his company has worked hard to address concerns that some residents have and is open to answering questions in the future.
“We’ve always tried to address them,” he said.
As the approval process through the Wisconsin Public Utilities Commission progresses, Mundinger said there will be additional opportunities for public input and questions during hearings conducted locally.
The Town of Forest board voted for full intervener status with the PSC, meaning they are seeking input as the approval process moves ahead.
The current board is officially on record stating that the “wind energy system as currently proposed is not in the best interests of the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Forest.”
According to Town Chairman Jaime Junker, the town board will ask the PSC to consider the town’s wind energy system licensing ordinance, and use those requirements as standards that are necessary to protect the public health and safety of residents.
“The reality is that Highland’s proposal does not come close to complying with the requirements of the ordinance,” according to a press release from the Forest Town Board.
The main issue, Junker said, is the health and safety of local residents.
“Whereas wind energy systems approved five years ago may have been considered safe at the time, studies done on these systems since that time period show greater (negative) impacts on public health and safety,” Junker said.
Junker also countered claims by Emerging Energies officials that they are adequately addressing concerns of residents. He claimed the recent public relations push is only an effort by the company to make it appear like they are reaching out to the community.
The town has retained the firm of Reynolds & Associates to represent the town’s interests in the PSC process.

The Rumi Darwaza in Lucknow ow was built by Nawab Asafuddaula (r. 1775-1797) in 1784.
The Rumi Darwaza in Lucknow towers to a height of 60 feet. There is an octagonal Chatri (Umbrella) on the top ,carved beautifully that can be accessed by a staircase.
The word “Rumi” is derived from the modern day Rome that used to be Istanbul, the capital city of Eastern Roman Empire.
It is said to be a replica in design of a gate in ancient Constantinople. : the Sublime Porte (Bab-iHümayun)
Though no longer extant, a huge lantern on top of the Rumi Darwaza would light up the structure at night making it look absolutely fabulous. The exquisite carved flowers on the sides of the arch were little water jets. You can imagine the effect of these tiny fountains.
The architectural style and eye for detail in Awadh under the Nawabs can be seen here.
Being an entrance to the city of Lucknow, Russell, the reporter of The New York Times who accompanied the victorious British army that entered Lucknow in 1858, after India’s First War of Independence, had called the stretch of road from Rumi Darwaza to Chattar Manzil the most beautiful and spectacular cityscape that he had ever seen, better than Rome, Paris, London and Constantinople.

Rather than painting the walls with different colors or sticking stickers, wall panel is dominating the world of interior decoration for years. Most of the people are investing in it, due to several reasons, among them, the elegant appearance of the wall is mostly acclaimed.
If you are thinking that this décor will cost a lot of money and it may be out of your budget, then you are wrong. The wide range of wall panels are available in contemporary styles with an affordable price to reach every standard of people.
Let’s continue your reading, to know about how to choose the appropriate construction material to make your plan successful.
The Natural Wooden Finish Panel:
Like the wooden floor, the wall panels made with wood achieves a great response and ideal for the person, who wants the classiness in his home. These panels not only look pretty but also gives enough thermal as well as acoustic insulation. While tile cladding leaves a space for dirt and dust to damage the look of the entire decoration, this wooden décor idea is just the opposite. It is super easy to remove as well as repair, even you can replace it if you want to change the design.
MDF or Medium-density fiberboard is a product, which is manufactured by mixing several pieces of the different size of wood fibers together with resin under high temperature and pressure. It is cheap than other types of wall furnishings styles and will give a wooden look by staining the materials. Hence, if you want the wooden finishing within low price, then opting for MDF is the best choice for you.
Medium Density Wood is weak than the natural wood. Therefore, you have to be more careful at the time of installing it. Do not compromise on the construction material if you do not want to experience any crack after installing it on your wall.
PVC panels are long-lasting, affordable, hygienic and easy to maintain. The best places to apply this are bathrooms, shower rooms and kitchens due to their waterproof quality. These do not allow dust to stick on the surface of it, therefore, maintaining the quality of it is quite easy. If you want to go for the glossy design or the matte one, it is upon you. Just keep that fact in your mind that your construction base is strong enough to suit with this wall design.
Let’s make your interior decoration unmatched from others by using these above-mentioned styles.

Building a home requires a lot of time as well as planning. The house owners should do the appropriate decision making while constructing a house. The design quality and material for the structure must also be chosen with great care. The wrong decision will take you to poor construction of your house. Therefore, proper planning needs to be done as far as execution, designing, and sourcing is concerned. If you avoid these common mistakes while constructing a house in India, you can later improve the quality, comfort and energy efficiency of your house without even spending a hefty amount.
1. Don’t execute a complicated plan for your house
Giving a great designing plan for your floor is not a very easy thing to do. While giving a design, you need to be very much particular in choosing the best stuff because most of the times the house owners end up with giving unwanted design plans which are not needed.
2. Not taking the help from the professionals
This is the most crucial mistakes made by the house owners. Usually, they don’t take help from the professionals. Normally, it is the essential thing to take the assistance from the professionals for your interior designing and architect. This will simply restrict the occurrence of errors while building your house.
3. Not going through the future requirements
It is the main matter of consideration to think for your family members. Think for the spacious rooms so that all the needs are fulfilled for your family. The planning of your house should be made in such a way that you don’t have to regret in future. For instance, you will think about why you haven’t made a bathroom on the ground floor when it is more needed.
4. The bedroom should be placed in the right place
To get rid of the traffic sound and other unwanted noise, the bedroom should be placed in the right corner. It is highly recommended that the main bedroom should be constructed away from the main living areas.
5. You should not forget the additional cost
You should be well prepared for the additional costs because while constructing a house there might be several chances of bearing the additional cost. Several problems can occur such as damage through termites, dry rot and the poor soil can give you more headaches. Enquire about the shipping costs from your contractors before constructing a new home.
6. Select the plots carefully
Most of the people prefer to buy the T, and L shaped plots, and usually, they forget about the impact which it will put on your roofs as well as walls of your house. Choosing the plot plays a very vital role before constructing a new house.
7. Not building the hallways properly
Make sure to build the broad hallways for your house. This will help to create a wide passage for the residents. Avoid building too many passages as it will simply lead to the wastage of your space and you can’t be able to enjoy your privacy.
8. Making the best space for your garage
The garage should be built in the main level, near the kitchen or some mudroom. It will avoid the dirt and dust to enter inside your home. It will simply restrict the flow of dust when normally the people come and go inside the house with dirty shoes and backpacks.
9. Utilize the unused rooms
Adding a game room or a multipurpose room is the main plan for some people but utilizing these rooms for a different purpose can waste your space. Most of the times, the unused rooms tend to become the dumping room where all your clothes and other whereabouts are dumped.
10. Bad fixings of lights
You should add the proper amount of windows at your home which will help you to take the natural sunlight anytime. Adding skylights to your home is the best way to enjoy the natural light. Plentiful windows need to be installed at your home.
If you want to construct a beautiful house in the future, then go through the above construction mistakes that need to be avoided while constructing a new house and enjoy the benefits of home for a long period.
Check TMT bars rate chart: https://www.srmbsteel.com/content/rate-chart.
Building a home involves lots of planning. From checking TMT bar prices to choosing the best quality bars, there are a number of factors that need to be considered beforehand.
The marketplaces in Kolkata are flooded with TMT bars from different TMT steel manufacturers. And it’s important that you choose only the best for your home.
TMT bars are mainly used for building the skeletal structure of your home. The quality of the construction depends mostly on the overall strength of the structure. Which is why TMT bars are important.
Now, if you are thinking why TMT bars and not any other steel bars are an obvious choice for your home, then there are several reasons for that.
• TMT bars are the best choice for earthquake-prone zone
Kolkata is located in a zone that’s prone to high seismic activity. It lies just on the border of Zone III. In the past, the city has been rocked numerous times. Buildings are always at greater risk of getting damaged during a seismic activity and TMT bars are best for protecting them from any hazard.
This is primarily because TMT bars have greater elongation (the quality to elongate before breaking). This is one of the reasons why TMT bars are preferred for earthquake-proof construction.
Although, modern structures in Kolkata are designed in a way that it can handle moderate levels of the earthquake and other calamities but still, poor quality building materials can cause immense damage.
• TMT bars have innovative design
TMT bars have X-shaped design throughout their entire length. The bars need to bond with the concrete for delivering strength to the structure and these ribs help in doing that. Concrete has an extremely low tensile strength and it needs the support from TMT bars having a greater tensile strength for reinforcement.
• TMT bars are corrosion resistant
This is due to the special chemical treatment of TMT bars during the manufacturing process. You must have seen that during construction, the TMT bars are exposed to moisture for longer hours. This can cause corrosion if conventional steel bars are used instead of TMT bars, making your building weak.
A strong foundation is essential for a stronger building. So, nothing is as important as buying the best, reliable TMT bars. Before choosing one, do not forget to check the prices of the TMT bars in Kolkata. To check, visit https://www.srmbsteel.com/content/rate-chart.
High strength TMT bars from the best TMT steel manufacturers are an obvious choice for buildings. This is especially true for making earthquake-resistant structures. In the past few years, the construction sector in Bihar has expanded.
The consumption of TMT bars has also experienced growth and these new-age bars have now become one of the most important factors in determining the quality of the construction.
TMT bars possess a number of unique features and are thus given preference over conventional steel bars for construction. Here are some factors that set TMT bars apart from ordinary steel bars:
1. The manufacturing process
It’s important to underscore the manufacturing process of TMT bars as this is the factor that makes it apt for construction projects. The steel bars are subject to quenching once they are out from the rolling mill.
As they pass through the water jets, their outer layer toughens radically, leaving the inner core soft. This soft ferrite-pearlite core makes them extremely ductile and gives high elongation.
TMT bars are highly resistant to fatigue. These bars are best for applications in earthquake-prone zones particularly some area (such as Darbhanga, Madhubani, Sitamarhi etc.) in Bihar that falls under the Zone V of the seismic hazard map.
2. TMT bars are elastic
This is another factor that makes TMT bars important for any construction. Since these bars are extremely ductile, they can be easily bent. TMT bars can be rendered into any shape, as per the requirement of the construction which is why most construction companies prefer using TMT bars.
3. TMT bars are thermal resistant
Thermal stability is very important for construction materials, especially TMT bars. Fire hazards can occur anytime and anywhere. TMT bars with high thermal stability can always retain a greater temperature ranging from 400 to 6000 degree Celsius. This makes the building resistant to fire.
Most importantly, TMT bars bond extremely well with concrete. This is possible due to the X-ribbed design of the bars. As a result, these bars improve the strength of the building and ensure the safety of the overall concrete structure. These are the reasons that make TMT bars extremely important for any type of construction.
If you are a builder or a homeowner located in Bihar, and if you are planning to use the best quality TMT bars for construction, then do not forget to check the prices beforehand. For checking TMT bar price in Bihar, visit https://www.srmbsteel.com/content/rate-chart today.
The most important factor in constructing a long-lasting civil or commercial structure is the material used. The quality of the construction material is essential to ensure the durability of the structure. When planning a construction project, the materials must be wisely chosen so that they properly fulfill the desired functions that are expected from them. From cement to TMT rods, here is a checklist of important materials without which any construction project is incomplete:
This is the most basic and one of the most important components for constructing a structure. Basically, bricks are made of clay, mud or ceramic material which are burned in a kiln and then dried to make them hard. Fired bricks are commonly used for constructing homes. These bricks have cavities that help them in drying. These cavities also make them light weight. When constructing homes, these bricks are placed upon each other and reinforced with the mix of cement and sand to make walls, ceiling and other architectural detail of the home.
Cement acts as a binder and is used to bind other construction materials such as bricks or TMT rods together. Cement can be either hydraulic or non-hydraulic. This classification depends largely on the ability of the cement to set with water. Hydraulic cement has adhesive properties and quickly sets with water, even under wet conditions; while non-hydraulic cement won’t set under wet conditions. Hydraulic cement is widely used for constructing home and other structures.
This building material is manufactured by combining aggregate composites and a binder such as cement. The most common type of concrete used for construction is Portland cement concrete which is made using sand, gravel, cement and water. Once these components are mixed properly, the mixture is left to harden and the final product is known as concrete. Concrete has a very low tensile strength and therefore, to strengthen it, construction workers use TMT rod or re-bars. Concrete is highly durable and has better longevity.
4. TMT Rod
TMT rod or TMT bars are widely used construction materials. These are manufactured using processes that include compression, rolling, treating them with heat followed by quenching (using water). The last step hardens its outer layer, giving it superior strength and durability. High quality TMT rods and bars are excellent for ensuring the durability and longevity of your home. Its ribbed exterior helps it to bond with the cement, giving a firm support to the structure. While its super bending ability (due to its soft ferrite-pearlite core) lets the construction workers mould it into various shapes. It is corrosion resistant and is good for earthquake-prone areas.
We’ll cover more such useful construction related content. So, keep watching this space!
The construction industry is a major contributor to the Indian GDP ; it employs about 30 million people in the country. Not only that, this sector also accounts for more than 60% infrastructure investment in the country. By 2017, the Indian government is planning to invest a whopping $ 1 trillion in infrastructure. The Ministry of Roads and transport has already planned a project to develop the roadway network that will cost about $120 billion.
The future looks definitely bright; here we discuss 5 greatest construction projects in India:
1. Chenab River Railway Bridge
This is one of the greatest engineering and construction marvels in India. At a height of 359 metres the Chenab bridge connects Bakkal and Kauri in the Reasi district of Jammu & Kashmir. This 1.3 kilometres long bridge is a part of the part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail link project undertaken by the Indian Railways. It is the world’s highest railway bridge and is expected to complete by early 2019.
2. Gujarat International Finance Tech-City (GIFT)
This industrial hub is designed to furnish the tech and finance organisations with high quality physical infrastructure. This greenfield city is spread over an area of 886 acres and is estimated to be a 70,000 crore project. This city is divided into special economic zones (SEZ), township, hotels, entertainment zone, educational zone and special techno parks. This is still under construction and is a joint venture between Gujarat Urban Development Company Limited and Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services.
3. Eastern Freeway
This freeway connects South Mumbai with the suburbs in the Eastern part of the city. The main goal of this project was to reduce the travel time between these two regions. The project was undertaken by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and covers a distance of 16.8 kilometres. The freeway constitutes three segments: a tunnel, a 13 kilometres stretch of elevated road and the link road between Ghatkopar and Mulund.
4. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport
One of the top ten airports in India, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport manages over 300 flights a day. Earlier it consisted of total three terminal buildings. Including a domestic terminal. However, a few years back, the international terminal was merged with the domestic terminal. Now, it has only one passenger terminal spread on an area of 233,000 m2 . This new integrated terminal has 6 levels and can handle about 20 million passengers per year. Its previous capacity was 4.8 million passengers per year. This modern facility offers modern taxiways.
5. Kathipura Flyover
This is the largest cloverleaf flyover in Asia and is located in Alandur. It is also known as Kathipura Junction grade separator and is one of the most important road junctions in Chennai. This is an intersection of four roads namely ,Inner Ring Road, Grand Southern Trunk Road, Anna Selai and Mount Poonamallee road.
TMT bars are one of the important components in construction of superstructures in India. However, when buying TMT bars, it is important to check the brand to ensure you get the best quality TMT bars.
Outdoor space is as important as indoors. It is where you enjoy a quiet time watching the sunset or watch your kids play to their heart’s content. With simple tools and design ideas, you can create a perfect outdoor space.
If you have a cement patio, keep sleek chairs or a classy bench. Keep a small wooden table and place a few potted plants on it. Arrange the pots in a scattered way instead of clubbing them together. Using colourful pots for holding the plants will add a dash of colour to your outdoor space.
Work on the walls to pep up the look of your outdoor space. Install a trellis along the walls. Use it for hanging decorative items. For brick walls, place a couple of hanging planters and lanterns to take the rustic look several notches higher.
Want a fuss – free outdoor space? Try covering the floor with gravels. You can even use crushed limestone instead of gravels. This way you do not have to mow the grasses regularly. Plant flowers along the edges.
Use warm hues to cover the furniture items. If you’re a “green” loving person then natural hues would be just the right option for you.
Exterior window boxes filled with colourful outdoor plants can amp up your outdoor decor.
This will add an extra layer of colour and comfort to your outdoor decor. Use durable outdoor rugs so that they can withstand wear and tear.
Look for containers around your house and use them as planters. You can use wooden crates, small jars as planters.
Install colourful light fixtures or bistro lights to give your outdoor space a cozy feel.
They not only add style to your outdoor space but also protect you from harsh weather and insects. During summers, you can enjoy the outdoors under the canopies in the yard.
Cover the gaps with colourful sedums. These plants add a pop of colour and are pleasant to eyes.
Did you know that designing your house in certain ways can improve positivity in your life? Yes. Vastu Shastra is an ancient science that tries to harmonize our lives with our surroundings.
Vastu Shastra specifies the rules for constructing your home for maintaining a balance between the Earth, Space, Air, Fire and Water Elements and the zonal strengths of the 16 Vastu zones. A house with bad Vastu shastra brings in emotional & professional woes, bad health & loads of negativity. Before selecting a plot check whether it’s Vastu-compliant or not. Though Vastu is an age old science but its popularity hasn’t faded; more & more people are looking for Vastu-compliant homes, according to a survey by housing.com.
“Four out of every five prospective home buyers would like to know the Vastu (ancient science of architecture as per Hindu tradition) of the property, even before physically checking the property”, the study said. ( source – http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/personal-finance-news/over-90-buyers-prefer-vastu-compliant-homes-survey/articleshow/50077412.cms)
1. The door of your bedroom must open up to ninety degrees. This is for inviting maximum opportunities in your life.
2. Ensure that the bedroom door is made of strong and durable material. According to Vastu, this keeps your private life protected from outside interference.
3. Place your bed in a way that when you sleep, your head points toward the south. It brings positive magnetic energy which flows from north in the body. It will rev up blood flow during sleep.
4. Do not keep mirrors in northern side. According to Vastu, doing this will invite trouble in your life.
1. The south-east and north-west corners of your home are ideal for kitchen.
2. The kitchen door must face north-east, east or north direction.
3. If you cook facing East, it is considered to bring good luck. So, keep the gas or oven in the South-East direction. Also, keep other electrical appliances such as mixer, toaster in the South-East direction of your kitchen.
4. Place the source of drinking water such as pitcher or water filter in the north-east.
1. Your living room should be facing the north-east direction. This attracts positive vibrations.
2. According to Vastu, the south direction belongs to the element “Fire”. So , keep the electrical gadgets such as telephone, television in the south-west direction.
3. Keep the doors of your living room in the north direction. This direction controls the magnetic energy, thereby, attracting people to your house.
4. Keep the floors of the living room at a lower level than the rest of the rooms. This gives a sense of security to your family members.
These Vastu rules can be implemented when you are constructing your home. Following these Vastu tips will help you maintain a perfect balance of natural forces in your home.
Venice is famous for stunning structures and one of them is Ponte Di Rialto or the Rialto Bridge. Located just at the heart of the bustling city, Rialto Bridge is the oldest bridge over the Grand Canal. It connects two of the busiest spots in Venice – San Polo and San Marco.
The view from the bridge offers you an interesting perspective of the busy city streets and the surrounding landscape. Let’s take you on a walk down the memory lane and present a couple of interesting facts about the Rialto Bridge. Read on!
Rialto Bridge History
Let’s begin with an interesting fact – until 1854, Rialto Bridge was the only bridge across the Grand Canal. The first bridge that was built over Grand Canal was the Pontoon Bridge in 12th century. This bridge succumbed to the heavy traffic and was soon replaced with a wooden structure. However, in 1444, this wooden structure also collapsed. After this, the Rialto Bridge was designed during the sixteenth century to replace that wooden structure. A competition was held to design its architecture. The best architects of that time, including Michelangelo and Palladio, submitted designs for building this bridge. However, the design suggested by Antonio da Ponte was finally selected.
Building the Bridge
The bridge took 3 long years to be completed. Lack of funds and other unstable circumstances delayed the construction. People grew critical of it as the merchants involved in its construction were making losses. However, the long wait was worth it; it’s been renowned as the architectural and engineering masterpiece of
Renaissance. It has inspired many artists and has been portrayed in paintings such as Miracle of the Relic of the Cross at the Ponte di Rialto.
Life Span Controversy
This bridge is a single span bridge, that is, it is anchored at both the ends with nothing to support the middle section. The engineers of the bridge were skeptical about the design. They predicted that this won’t last long. The design was considered an audacious one. But Antonio da ultimately silenced all his critics with this genius design.Today, the Rialto Bridge stands with elan and is a prime tourist attraction in Venice.
The amazing architecture of the Rialto Bridge has stood the test of time and continues to amaze the tourists. It has become the most visited and most photographed place in Venice.

Good stuff! This is our second lease from Mohawk Hond. Nice dealership, courteous staff and was able to agree on a fair price/deal that my family and I were happy with. If you are looking for a Honda, I don't see why you would go anywhere else.
This was our family's fifth Honda purchase and fourth from Mohawk Honda. They make the entire car-buying process a pleasure. We wouldn't buy from anywhere else!!
I purchased a Honda Accord approximately 2 months ago and just wasn't happy with it. Noticed that you had a used Mercedes on the lot and was interested in a deal. Initially I was extremely disappointed with the presented trade in allowance. I left very frustrated and angry. Greg Johnson got involved and offered me a terrific trade in allowance and after many back and forth conversations with Greg, we settled on a price for the Mercedes. I am extremely happy with this purchase and Greg change my entire perception of Mohawk Honda. I may be back in the future. Thank you Greg.
Travis was nothing short of awesome, and worked with me and answered all my questions. I’ve seen other reviews that weren’t positive but the 3 hours I spent there today proved to me that I made the right choice coming in. Everyone I spoke to was friendly, full of smiles, and helpful. I will recommend this to all my friends and family. Thank you Travis and the rest of the Mohawk Honda Team!
I was treated like family from when i walked in.. Damon the sales person was great !Tom in the finance dept was great also! Mohawk Honda is top notch..
This was the second car I purchased from Travis at Mohawk Honda. He takes the time to answer questions and make this big commitment a little easier!
The salesman Mike Benice was very informed and informative. The technical support by Brianna Mattice made everything simple to understand. She offered many ways to expand the use of the navigation system.
When having to do a task one doesn't particularly like, such as buying a new car, this dealership made it as painless as possible. In the past it was a game of the salesman making you wait while he ran back and forth to the manager. This time the salesman seemed to move the process along with hardly any wait.
From coordination, to Sales, to finance, everyone was very helpful in my experience at this dealer. Would definitely recommend this dealer to everyone I know
The team at mohawk honda did an incredible job at not only finding us the perfect vehicle at a great price but made my families time there fun and the total opposite of what I thought car shopping would be. I would recommend this dealer to anyone looking to buy or lease a vehicle hands down.

During a recent interview on The Approval Matrix, a new panel show on Sundance, the host, Neal Brennan, confides in Amy Poehler and tells her what it’s like to be a man.
“Being cool is, like, passé. And now you have to be awkward and adorable,” Brennan admitted.
Without even a second of sympathy, the comedian comes up with a perfectly articulated response:
“Well, this feeling that you’re having every day — which is like, ‘I’m supposed to be all things’ — is a feeling that women have every day and have their whole lives. So you’re just starting to experience it now, like ‘how can I be cool and tough, but also sweet?’ We have to deal with all those juxtapositions every day, but I’m glad you’re finally experiencing it.”
What It’s Like To Be A Woman, According To Amy Poehler
"Well, this feeling that you're having every day -- which is like, 'I'm supposed to be all things' -- is a feeling that women have every day and have their whole lives."By Alexandra Zaslow

Showers return for the work week
An active weather pattern continues for the start of the work week.
Clouds will be on the increase beginning Sunday night with a 40 percent chance of showers by Monday. An upper-level trough, currently over western Alaska, will be moving into the Southcentral region tomorrow, bringing showers along with it. Behind this trough is a small ridge of high pressure.
Clearing will begin to take place again on Tuesday, making for pleasant fall weather through Wednesday. The Southeast will finally get some well-deserved sun breaks and the rest of the state will see cloudy skies with crisp autumn temperatures.

Celestron NexStar Astronomical telescope Effective diameter 102 mm Automatic introduction Automatic tracking
Celestron NexStar 4 GTGlass tube section Makuroto Cashegren reflective telescopeEffective diameter 102 mmFocal length 1,325 mmPort size ratio F13Resolution 1.14 secondsExtreme grade 11.8 starsLight focusing power 212 timesPower input DC 12 V Power consumption DC 12 V 750 mAPower source used 8 AA alkaline batteries (sold separately) or AC adapter (attached)Tracking mode Star mode, month mode, solar mode, atmospheric correction modeUser setting 9 objects, 9 objects on the groundMemory built-in celestial body 4,000 or more (including user setting)
Regarding this telescope, the telescope body, the eyepiece lens 25 mm (53 times), the star pointer (it is the equal magnification viewfinder), the control box, the Japanese and English instruction manual were the initial set.
Moreover, it is confirmed the operation in this exhibition (automatic introduction). However, with regard to the star pointer, LED operation is not confirmed due to battery exhaustion.This time, we will attach documents of usage, introduction, operation method (for NexStar 5) searched on the net for reference, and Messier star database as an appendix.Also, because the star pointer is 1: 1, we will also attach a single glasses (OPAL optical 8 × 40 field 9 °, wide angle single lens with an apparent field of view of 72 °) that we used as an aid for the viewfinder (There is dirt on the objective lens).The purchase of the telescope was about 10 years ago, but it was used only a few times. I decided to sell it because I was addicted to the star viewing with the low magnification large diameter binoculars and he had no opportunity to use it.In addition, because it is home safe, there are no scratches or dirt on the lens, but the body has a few scratches.Best regard.

What data should we collect about the input trees for the tree of life?
The absence of a formal reporting standard for phylogenetic analyses is a major impediment for digital access and reuse of published gene trees and species trees. Efforts are underway to develop a standard for Minimal Information About Phylogenetic Analyses (MIAPA). An important part of this process is community input on metadata – what is important for use and evaluation, and what is reasonable to expect from producers of trees?
Results from this survey will inform two efforts: the collection of digital phylogenetic data for Open Tree of Life and the development of a minimum information standard for reporting phylogenetic analyses (MIAPA, http://www.evoio.org/wiki/MIAPA). If you have any questions, please contact Karen Cranston, National Evolutionary Synthesis Center ([email protected]).

When you buy shares in a company, it's worth keeping in mind the possibility that it could fail, and you could lose your money. But on a lighter note, a good company can see its share price rise well over 100%. Long term Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (NZSE:RBD) shareholders would be well aware of this, since the stock is up 197% in five years. The last week saw the share price soften some 2.3%.
Let's take a look at the underlying fundamentals over the longer term, and see if they've been consistent with shareholders returns.
There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
Over half a decade, Restaurant Brands New Zealand managed to grow its earnings per share at 12% a year. This EPS growth is slower than the share price growth of 24% per year, over the same period. This suggests that market participants hold the company in higher regard, these days. That's not necessarily surprising considering the five-year track record of earnings growth.
You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values).
We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Restaurant Brands New Zealand's earnings, revenue and cash flow.
What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Restaurant Brands New Zealand's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. Arguably the TSR is a more complete return calculation because it accounts for the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested), along with the hypothetical value of any discounted capital that have been offered to shareholders. Its history of dividend payouts mean that Restaurant Brands New Zealand's TSR of 220% over the last 5 years is better than the share price return.
A Different Perspective
It's good to see that Restaurant Brands New Zealand has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 29% in the last twelve months. That gain is better than the annual TSR over five years, which is 26%. Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for Restaurant Brands New Zealand that you should be aware of.
There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.

Boeing and Airbus struck deals of billions of dollars’ worth of planes at this week’s airshow in Singapore, but delivery is being delayed due to supply chain disruptions, Shukor, Founder, Endau Analytics, said. The aircraft manufacturers are already delayed due to parts shortages and lack of skilled labour, as the travel sector recovers from COVID. Airbus stated it secured a commitment from Vietjet Air to purchase 20 of its A330-900 aircraft, with the first delivery due in 2026. “We will struggle to deliver the orders on time as continued shortages in labour, raw materials, logistics, and energy prevail,” Brendan Sobie, an analyst with independent consultancy Sobie Aviation, said.

John Wayne: the Genuine Article
I served as design director on this exhibition of over five hundred photos and items from John Wayne's archive. The opportunity for the Duke's estate to partner with the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville happened rather quickly, and by the time I was brought on to the project I had only six weeks to design and one week to build, and install this 6000 square foot exhibit, which at completion included six rooms, ten interactive elements, fifty-three custom displays and display cases, twenty one audio visual elements, one hundred and nine pieces of signage, over five hundred item and image captions, and over two hundred photographs.
I designed every single element of the exhibit--drew every floorplan, designed every display case, laid out every wall, designed every piece of signage. I also curated around forty percent of the items in the exhibit; supervised the entire build and install including builders, art handlers, AV techs, and sign installers; sourced all sound design and edited video; wrote the production schedule; designed custom security gates; and wrote the electric plan.
This was really one of those projects where a ragtag group came together and miraculously turned out a beautiful product. I'm very proud of it and my team.

GSBC 2020 Announced! April 3-27, 2020.
I have a GoPro lying around and thought "terrestrial photos are boring", so I decided I'd launch it into space to see if there's anything more photogenic up there.
We plan to launch a balloon in such a way as to win as many of the prizes as humanly possible.
We joined because we were going to launch a balloon anyway and thought a time limit and the opportunity for prizes were pretty good extra incentives.

Importance of an Annual Comprehensive Medical Exam in Healthcare
The comprehensive medical exam is a commitment on the part of healthcare providers and the people who receive this invaluable service as well. This is not your standard in and out office visit where everything is discussed in thirty minutes or less. Instead, it is a five-hour event in which you will be examined from head to toe and all points in between. Why make this investment? Because you are worth it and this is an investment in your health today and in the future.
Gauges the Current State of Your Health
If you’ve never experienced a comprehensive health check up before you’re in for a bit of culture shock when you shop up for your first examination. It is an event that involves many moving parts including a consultation with the nurse in which your medical history, family history, immunizations, and health concerns are addressed.
Beyond that, it offers your physician, whom you will meet with at the end of the day once all the other test results and information are in, an opportunity to get a “big picture” image of your health. This is critical so that he or she can determine where to begin with your treatment, if necessary, and help you establish long and short-term goals for the state of your health.
Helps Your Physician Get to Know You
One of the most important things you can do for the sake of your health is develop a strong, trusting relationship with your physician. That’s something that can’t be done in micro-office visits once or twice a year. The relationship between a person and his or her physician is one that will reward you exponentially as it grows.
You need the time to develop the kind of relationship necessary to offer full disclosure and open honesty when discussing health concerns and fears. The more your physician knows about your risks, health history, and health concerns; the better able your physician will be to address those concerns, relieve those fears, and treat the things that are affecting you.
Digs Down to the Nuts and Bolts of Your Health
A comprehensive health assessment doesn’t simply rely on vital signs and a visual inspection to help determine the state of your health. It digs down deep, below the surface of your skin, to determine the true state of your health with vaccination reviews, laboratory tests, abdominal ultrasounds, hearing and vision screenings, fitness assessments, and consultations with a nutritionist to help you eat for better health all around.
There is no one size fits all approach to medicine that works for every single patient every single time. The comprehensive medical exam, however, offers you and your physician a perfect foundation for building an impactful treatment program that will help you establish and achieve your own, personal, goals for your health today and in the future. That is why it is so important for you to consider an annual comprehensive medical examination as a core component of your overall healthcare plan.

The thirst for revenge is one of the basest of human emotions. As such, it has naturally made great fodder for plenty of movies over the decades, including this week’s theatrical release of ‘Taken 2’. In today’s Roundtable, let’s sort through some of our favorite examples of films with this theme.
Revenge movies are the lifeblood of action cinema. If you’re ever at a loss to create a story for an action movie, a simple dash of revenge should do the trick. It’s easy to root for a guy who’s recklessly dangerous if he has good reason to be. Usually, family members get killed, which sends the protagonist into a rage that can only be quelled by killing the people responsible.
When it comes to Biblical “eye for an eye” cinema, I’m always drawn to ‘Man on Fire‘. Watching Creasy “paint his masterpiece” of death is quite enjoyable. Tony Scott’s frantic, ultra-stylized photography works well. (Believe it or not, I don’t mind the shaky-cam in this one.) Nobody does the badass stare like Denzel (he’s maybe matched by Bruce Willis). He’s just so much fun to watch in this movie. It’s hard not to squeal when he walks into a room, because you know he’s going to kill just about everyone there at any second. It doesn’t matter that he’s putting all sorts of innocent people at risk. We don’t worry about that because his quest for revenge is pure. It’s such a simple premise, but works flawlessly when done right.
I love how revenge has become an ongoing theme in Quentin Tarantino’s films. ‘Kill Bill‘ is the grand flick that sparked it. Making the central character a female adds a great layer of unpredictability. The Bride’s revenge is fueled by a strong motive, so the film draws you in quickly. Add Tarantino’s style and you’ve got a truly remarkable film. If only he’d give us the damn ‘Whole Bloody Affair’ on Blu-ray already!
“Revenge is a dish best served cold. It is very cold… in space.” That’s right, my favorite revenge movie is none other than ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan‘. For my money, that’s still the best ‘Star Trek’ movie ever made for the big screen. Marooned on Ceti Alpha V fifteen years prior by Captain James T. Kirk, Khan Noonian Singh has had plenty of years for his rage to build by the time we first see him in the film. His first strike against Kirk is a damaging one, but later in the film, Kirk will use that rage against Khan, helping to even the odds between the two adversaries. This is one of those rare revenge movies where the main protagonist and antagonist never meet face to face (other than through viewscreen exchanges), which makes this a battle of intelligence and wits. Kirk, of course, gets the upper hand at the end… but not before the ultimate sacrifice is made.
Chris Boylan (Big Picture Big Sound)
You can’t have a list of revenge movies without a mention of the original 1978 ‘I Spit on Your Grave‘. Available now on Blu-ray, the film was daring for its time. It remains controversial today for its brutal depiction of gang rape and torture. In the movie, a writer escapes to upstate New York to work on her novel, only to be violently raped and left for dead by a group of local degenerates. The victim survives and methodically takes her revenge on each of the perpetrators. While calling it “fun to watch” might be a stretch (unless you like watching gang rape, castration without anesthesia and disembowelment by boat motor), the viewer gets a certain sense of satisfaction as the hapless victim exacts her bloody revenge. Remade in 2010 without much originality (but with more graphic depiction of violence), ‘I Spit on Your Grave’ is proof that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
I also like ‘Death Wish’ and ‘RoboCop’.
Adam Tyner (DVDTalk)
Never has a subtitle been more appropriate than that of ‘Thriller: A Cruel Picture‘. As a child, Madeleine was so savagely raped that the ordeal left her mute. Flash-forward to her as a young woman. Madeleine remains unable to fit in, but at the rare sight of a glimmer of kindness, she lets down her guard for the first time in ages. She puts her trust in the wrong man, however; Tony forcefully injects her with heroin, again and again and again. The sweet, meek girl is dragged kicking and screaming into a life of prostitution, and becomes so hopelessly addicted that there’s nothing else she can do. She’s lost her voice. She’s lost her dignity. She’s even lost her left eye. With little else left to be stripped away, Madeleine steels herself into a killing machine to exact her revenge.
‘Thriller: A Cruel Picture’ is a grueling experience, as visceral and unflinchingly graphic as just about any movie I’ve endured over these many years. Christina Lindberg brilliantly conveys every stage of this young girl’s harrowing arc: her sincere sweetness, the torment she suffers, and the way in which she’s wholly consumed by vengeance. The film draws much of its power from how gritty and how real it is. That sense of verisimilitude certainly isn’t hurt by the use of live ammunition (!), hacking up a corpse for the eye-gouging sequence, Lindberg receiving on-camera saline injections, and even some hardcore inserts. You probably won’t be surprised to hear that, decades later, this 1973 exploitation film would go on to be one of the greatest inspirations to Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill’.
Is revenge really a dish best served cold? I mean, between Kim Ji-Woon’s recent uber-violent shocker ‘I Saw the Devil‘ and Park Chan-Wook’s highly-acclaimed ‘Vengeance Trilogy‘ (which includes ‘Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance’, ‘Oldboy’ and ‘Lady Vengeance’ – all brilliant and terrifically shot films), as far as I’m concerned, revenge is a dish even better served Korean.
Whether you’re talking about William Munny, John Rambo, Eric Draven or John Matrix, one maxim is central to revenge movies: Don’t poke the bear. ‘I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead‘ extends that theme even further: Certainly, don’t rape the bear’s brother. Clive Owen, who would later go on to rampage in ‘Sin City’, plays Will, the sleeping bear in question, and a man who’s a derelict from society. As the film moves along the brutally slow lines of a British crime drama, Will haunts the picture as a specter of his former prowess. Yet, at times, the audience can catch glimpses of a live wire in his eyes, as he seeks out a target for vengeance. Stories about revenge often contain a fatalism wherein violent characters willing and unwillingly perpetuate a cycle of violence. In ‘I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead’, the audience is normally one step ahead of the characters, and therefore ends up goading the story towards revelation, vengeance and a cold, hollow ending in ambiguity as expertly as any revenge movie that I have seen.
Since I’m in the middle of a James Bond marathon at the moment, I have Agent 007 on the brain. One of my favorite entries in the franchise is the under-appreciated ‘Licence to Kill‘, in which Bond goes off-book for an unsanctioned mission to get revenge on the nasty drug lord who fed his best friend Felix Leiter to a shark and left him for dead. At the time of its release, the movie was criticized for being too dark and nasty, and not as much light-hearted fun as the Roger Moore pictures. I think that it was just ahead of its time, and has aged very nicely. It’s an obvious precursor to the stripped-down, gritty and serious Daniel Craig era, and was easily the best Bond film of the 1980s.
Honorable Mention: ‘Revenge of the Nerds’. Because revenge movies can be funny too.
Tell us about some of your favorite revenge films in the Comments.

A mother struggles to kneel at a pew as she cradles her sleeping infant. An old woman in a wheelchair wipes away a tear. A family strikes a pose in front of a relic, while another takes a picture of a papal chair. A Buddhist accompanies a Catholic friend reading one spirit-filled message after another.
These touching scenes of faith are not happening on traditional hallowed ground or in a church but in the center of busy Gateway Mall in Cubao.
Since relics and photos of newly Blessed John Paul II have been put on display in the exhibit “Beatus: Embracing the Holiness of John Paul II,” throngs of Filipino faithful as well as the curious have been pouring in.
For Pinky, 47, going to the exhibit was a personal devotion to the late Pontiff. “I was pregnant with my only child when he came in 1995. I was determined to get a glimpse of him even if the organizers kept changing the published route for security purposes. But, thank God, I did get to see him as his convoy passed by. I felt so blessed and now my 16-year-old daughter is just as blessed.”
Catholic or not
Epitacio, 25, is a Buddhist who accompanied a Catholic friend to the exhibit and inquired from the Araneta Center organizers for tickets to the liturgical concert “Blessed: A Call to Holiness” on Oct. 29. Though admission is free, he is worried he might not be able to get in because he is not affiliated with any parish or religious organization.
“Gusto ko lang din makilala si (I want to get to know the) Pope, puede kaya manood kahit hindi Katoliko(can I come even if I’m not Catholic)?” he asked. He was assured the event is for everyone, Catholic or not.
Maria, 50, will never forget the time she braved the sea of humanity at the Luneta to see John Paul when he addressed the youth in 1995. A solo parent of two, she carried her toddler daughter in her arms and hoisted her elder son on her shoulders, as they eagerly awaited the Popemobile.
“Feeling ko noon pasan ko ang daigdig, (the world was a burden) literally and figuratively. Times were hard and I had two kids to raise. Pero noon nakita ko si (but when I saw the) Pope na dumaan (pass by), I felt that he gave me a reassuring look,” Maria reminisces.
“Today, by the grace of God and intercession from John Paul II, both my kids are gainfully employed abroad.”
Pope John Paul, who introduced himself more than 30 years ago as coming from a “distant country,” has endeared himself forever to the Filipino faithful, especially after his pastoral visits to the Philippines in 1981 and 1995.
His numerous international journeys made him a familiar figure throughout the world. His impressive teachings, rooted in love of Christ and in defense of the human being, reverberate beyond his death.
First feast day
In May 2011, he was beatified, declared newly Blessed, and on Oct. 22 the Catholic Church will celebrate his first feast day.
The exhibit “Beatus: Embracing the Holiness of John Paul II” is a precursor to a bigger celebration to be mounted by the Araneta Center in coordination with the Diocese of Cubao to honor Blessed John Paul II.
It was at the historic Big Dome that the Pope exhorted professionals to use their expertise in the propagation of the faith on Feb. 18, 1981.
On Saturday, Oct. 29, this scene will be replicated as thousands are expected to gather to watch the musical concert “Blessed: A Call to Holiness,” at the same place that John Paul himself declared “the colosseo of papal audiences.”
Resonating with songs and testimonials of faith will be various performers from the metro dioceses—the Las Piñas Boys Choir, Hail Mary the Queen Children’s Choir, Kilyawan Consortium of Voices, Holy Family Parish of Pasig Youth Ministry, Anima Quartet with Michael Shimamoto and Kadang Dominiko Hand Mime Group from the Archdiocese of Manila.
Former Ambassador to the Holy See Henrietta de Villa, Fr. Francis Gustilo, SDG, member of the Vatican’s International Theological Commission, and Jo Grafil, former executive director of World Youth Day, will share their personal experiences with the late pontiff.
The Beatus exhibit runs at Gateway Mall until Oct. 21. Tickets to the musical concert “Blessed: A Call to Holiness” will be distributed to local parishes. Further inquiries about tickets may be made to the Diocese of Cubao at tel. 7235114 and 7216225.

Changes to Ennis’ Mobility Plan have been labelled ‘crumbs from the table’ by one prominent critic of the town’s pedestrianisation.
Following a review, Clare County Council has announced that motorists will now be allowed drive through the town centre up until 11 each morning.
Ennis councillors have, in the main, welcomed changes to the town’s Mobility Plan which will open up access to more cars each morning.
From Thursday, the streets won’t be pedestrianised until 11 a.m. in a move that aims to negate the effect of heavy early morning school traffic in the town centre.
Fianna Fail councillor Clare Colleran Molloy says the changes will provide parking accessibility for those most in need.
Ennis’ business community, though, has given the changes a more cautious welcome.
There has been growing frustration amongst some traders over the impact of the restrictions – that’s despite an initial survey several months ago showing a majority supported the temporary pedestrianisation measures.
Owner of Custys Music Shop, John O Connor, believes the town will have to be opened up even further to cars as winter progress.
The Council have committed to keeping the plan under further review in the context of public health guidelines, and in the best interests of residents, shoppers and businesses.
Senior Executive Officer in the Ennis Municipal District of the local authority, Leonore O Neill, says they will continue to try to strike a balance with the pedestrianisation model.

“I am happy in every way that Jesus wills, and if Jesus wants the sacrifice of my life, I give it to Him at once. If He wants anything else, I am ready. One thing alone is enough for me; to be his victim, in order to atone for my innumerable sins, and if possible, for those of the whole world” – Saint Gemma Galgani.
Gemma was not a person of half measures. She loved God with all of her being and Jesus was everything to her.
“Can’t you see that as soon as day breaks I think of You? As evening comes I am near You in every moment. I love You Jesus!” – Saint Gemma Galgani.
Gemma was born on 12 March 1878 in Camigliano, a village near Lucca in Italy. She was the fifth of seven children. Her father was a chemist called Enrico. Her mother Aurelia did her very best to make her a good Christian. Her Mum would always pick her up and hold her in her arms. She often used to cry and Gemma could never understand why until her mother told her that she was very ill and soon would be going to heaven. When she saw how worried and sad Gemma was she said “One day, if you are able would you come with me to the place to which Jesus is calling me? To Paradise with Jesus and the Angels?”. This invitation filled Gemma with joy! But her mother knew that she could not take Gemma with her to heaven. So she prayed for Gemma’s spiritual future and entrusted her soul to the Holy Spirit. When Gemma was seven years of age she completed her religious instruction in preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. This she received on 26 May 1885.
While in church as Gemma was praying for her mother a sudden voice spoke into her heart.
“Are you willing to give me your mother?”
“Yes” Gemma replied, “provided you take me also!”
“No,” said the voice, “give me your mother of your own will. For the present you must remain with your father. I will take you to her in Heaven later.”
Gemma felt she had to say yes, and when the Mass was finished she ran home. Afraid to leave her mothers side, in case she left without her, she would climb up on her mother’s bed, put her arms around her neck, and kiss her. The doctors then suggested that Gemma be kept away from the sick room because her mum had tuberculosis. Finally her father, who feared Gemma would die before her, sent her to stay with her uncle. Four months later Gemma’s mum passed away. It was on 17 September 1885.
In 1887 her father, being a good Catholic, placed Gemma under the care of Sister Elena Guerra at her school run by nuns. Gemma wanted to learn more about Christ’s sufferings and His Passion. Her Mistress, Sister Catherine Vagliensi, began to tell Gemma something everyday, choosing an hour for the recital when the other children were in bed. One evening she described the Crucifixion, the crowning with thorns, and all the other sufferings of Jesus so vividly, that the sorrow and compassion Gemma felt brought on a high fever and she had to remain in bed the whole day after. Every day, Gemma had a part of the Passion explained to her. Often when reflecting on their sins and feelings of ingratitude towards Jesus they began to weep together. Gemma’s first Holy Communion was 17 June 1887.
“I cannot explain in words the feelings I felt when I felt the presence of Jesus so strongly in my soul. I felt completely taken by the desire to be forever united with my God. I wanted to make some good resolutions, to always be faithful to Communion and to Confession. To visit Jesus in the Holy Sacrament and to always be in God’s presence. To ask every day the Heavenly Mother for her blessing”– Saint Gemma Galgani.
On Thursday 8 June 1899, Jesus told Gemma that an unusual grace was to be granted to her. In the evening Gemma felt an intense sorrow for her sins. She fell into a state of rapture and found herself in the presence of her Heavenly Mother and her Guardian Angel. Covering Gemma with her mantle her Heavenly Mother said
“My Son Jesus loves thee beyond measure, and wishes to give thee a grace.”
At that moment Jesus appeared, the wounds from His Passion issuing flames of fire. As those flames came to touch her hands, feet and heart Gemma felt as if she were dying. Gemma would have fallen to the ground had her Heavenly Mother not held me up. All that time Gemma remained beneath her mantle. Once the vision was over Gemma felt a tremendous pain in her hands and feet and realised that blood was flowing freely from them. That pain and that sorrow, instead of distressing her, gave her perfect peace.
In 1902 Gemma offered herself to God as a victim for the salvation of sinners. 21 September 1902 she fell dangerously ill with tuberculosis. Gemma died on 11 April 1903 on Holy Saturday.
“I seek for nothing more. I have made the sacrifice of everything and of everyone to God. Now I prepare to die. Now it is indeed true that nothing more remains to me. Jesus, I commend my poor soul to Thee” – St Gemma Galgani.
Gemma Galgani was canonized by Pope Pius XII on 2 May 1940.

“You know, oh Jesus how I am to sacrifice myself in everything. I will bear every sort of pain for Thee!”

The United States was already on edge about the Atlantic tropics when the month of September began, as Hurricane Harvey had just slogged through Texas and delivered devastating inland flooding to a large stretch of the state, including the fourth largest city in the country. Harvey may end up ranking as the costliest hurricane on US record, although damages haven't been officially determined.
But this Category 4 hurricane was but a prelude for what was to come in September. Five hurricanes—Irma, Jose, Katia, Lee, and Maria—would form. Four would become major hurricanes. Two of the storms, Irma and Maria, would reach Category 5 status and bring widespread devastation, especially in the Caribbean Islands, and to a lesser extent in the mainland United States.
Now, finally, the Atlantic tropics have calmed down. No named storms remain, and there's only a slight chance of another storm forming within the next five days. And so ends the busiest month on record in the Atlantic Ocean.
September is typically the busiest month for hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. This is because the conveyor belt of low-pressure systems moving off the western coast of Africa into the Atlantic reaches its zenith during this time frame, the tropical ocean waters are near peak warmth, and wind shear is typically fairly low across the basin.
So when September 2017 set a "calendar month" record for overall Atlantic activity, it set a record for any month in any given year. (As ever, when it comes to hurricane records, we must have caveats. Although data goes back to the 1850s, and reanalysis projects have attempted to build confidence in earlier records, only with the onset of satellites in the 1960s do we begin to have a complete record of Atlantic hurricane activity.)
With that said, according to Phil Klotzbach of Colorado State University, this September set the following significant records: cumulative days of named storms (53.5 days, besting the mark of 52.25 days in September 2004); hurricane days (40.25 days, besting 34.5 in September, 1926), and major hurricane days (18, besting 17.25 days in September, 1961). Finally, in terms of the overall duration and intensity of storms, as measured by "accumulated cyclone energy," this September's total of 175 units smashed the previous record of 155 in September 2014.
In short, this month's storm activity was unprecedented in recent years. But given the dataset problems described above, it's difficult to say how unprecedented, and for how long. Climate change is thought to make the strongest hurricanes more intense, but there is not yet data or climate modeling to suggest that there will be more tropical storms and hurricanes in a warmer world.
With that said, while the Atlantic Ocean has raged with tropical activity during the last month, much of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere tropics have been relatively quiet. Particularly the Northwest Pacific Ocean basin, which typically is more than twice as busy as the Atlantic during this time of year, has been quiet this summer and early fall (see charts embedded below).
Across the Northern Hemisphere this year, then, tropical activity has more or less evened out. Based on the accumulated cyclone energy statistics kept by Colorado State, the "normal" value for the Northern Hemisphere through October 1 is 403.7 units. This year, it has measured 411.3, a statistically insignificant bump of 2 percent.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. WITHIN 40 minutes after the Columbia's launching yesterday, the first data from the scientific instruments on board began flowing back to the earth, signals from the most elaborate payload yet to fly in the space shuttle's cargo bay.
Several teams of scientists, from universities and Government agencies, began poring over the data, in part to learn something more about solar radiations and flares and the orbital environment, but also to evaluate the shuttle's performance as a vehicle for scientific observations.
The Columbia's cargo of scientific and technological experiments weighs more than 21,000 pounds, four times the load of freight carried on the second flight last November. Of particular interest to scientists is the set of nine instruments known as the O.S.S.-1 payload, for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Office of Space Science.
Dr. Werner Neupert, the chief scientist coordinating the experiments, said, ''We call O.S.S. the Pathfinder Mission because we are exploring how we can use the shuttle for space science.''
Most of the experiment packages are mounted on a U-shaped metal pallet in the 60-foot-long cargo bay. Soon after the astronauts settled into orbit, they opened the cargo-bay doors, exposing the experiments.Continue reading the main story
The first experiment to begin sending data was the Contamination Monitor Package, developed by the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The sensors and coated mirrors were designed to measure the shuttle's own pollution of space, the fine particles and gases coming from the vehicle's surfaces, waste water dumping and various steering rockets.
Information from this experiment, along with two others, should prove useful to scientists planning instruments for future flights, particularly optical components sensitive to such contaminations.
Five times during the flight, the astronauts will attempt to lift two of the instruments, one weighing 800 pounds, with the 50-foot mechanical arm stowed in the cargo bay. The Canadian-built robot arm was flexed during the last mission, but this will be the first time its gripping and lifting capabilities will be tested, with Col. C. Gordon Fullerton handling most of those operations.
From a console at the rear of the Columbia's flight deck, looking through viewing ports and watching television monitors, Colonel Fullerton is to maneuver the robot arm to wave the plasma diagnostics package around in the environment above and on either side of the shuttle. These tests are planned for the third, fourth and fifth days of the scheduled seven-day flight.
The plasma package's metal container holds an assembly of electromagnetic and particle sensors developed by the University of Iowa. Their objective is to investigate any wake caused by the shuttle's passage through the extremely tenuous electrically charged gases, or plasma, that occupy most of outer space.
Since many scientific and engineering investigations are being considered for future shuttle missions, Dr. Neupert said, the plasma diagnostic studies made this time should give scientists an understanding of what effect the plasma wake, not unlike the waves made by a boat moving through water, may have on measurements.
In addition, a low-power electron gun will be triggered to emit a 1,000-volt pulsed beam to investigate its interactions with the plasma.
The beams are expected to be bright enough that the crew may be able to televise them. The other instrument to be handled with the robot arm involves what is called the induced-environment contamination monitor. The monitor, a desk-sized package of 10 instruments developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., will make additional checks of fumes and particles given off by the shuttle in flight. Studies of the Sun
Two other instruments will be turning their attention on the sun. The solar flare X-ray polarimeter, developed by scientists at Columbia University, should be able to measure X-rays emitted during solar flares in a continuing effort to understand the nature and power of those phenomena.
The polarimeter, which operates like a sophisticated Geiger counter, will be aimed at the sun for about 28 hours during the mission when the astronauts orient the opened cargo bay toward the sun. The instrument is said to be sensitive enough to monitor radiations from a rather weak flare.
If a major flare occurs during the mission, the astronauts may be instructed to drop all other activities and maneuver into position for observations. This should bring back memories for Col. Jack R. Lousma, the mission commander. On his 59-day flight aboard Skylab in 1973, he and his crew made numerous telescopic observations of solar activity.
Other solar studies will be conducted with a device from the Naval Research Laboratory, called a solar ultraviolet spectral irradiance monitor. The 20 planned hours of operations should yield the most accurate measurements so far of the sun's ultraviolet radiation and its range of variability. Fluxes of ultraviolet rays could have a bearing on long-range changes in the earth's atmosphere and climate.
One of the major experiments will be conducted not in the cargo bay but in the shuttle's pressurized cabin. Ninety-six seedlings, of slash pine, mung bean and oats, are stowed in a locker the size of a filing cabinet. Artificial sunlight will bathe the growing plants 14 hours daily. Growing Plants in Space
Within an hour after the shuttle's landing, scheduled for March 29, the container will be removed so that the plants can be photographed and analyzed. The purpose of the experiment, by University of Houston biologists, is to test the hypothesis that, in conditions of virtually no gravity, plants produce abnormally low amounts of lignin, the carbon compound that provides strength and stiffness to the plant. With reduced levels of lignin production, space-grown plants may lose strength and droop rather than stand erect.
In the final weeks of planning the Columbia's third flight, project officials added one more scientific experiment. It is a study of insect flight behavior in weightlessness. The experiment was designed by an 18-year-old high school senior from Minnesota, Todd Nelson.Continue reading the main story

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 2nd March 2004
David Bowie's music in sing-a-long children's book and CD entertains and educates young readers
San Diego, CA - The official release date for the children's book MUSICAL STORYLAND is set for April 24, 2004. Music and lyrics written and performed by DAVID BOWIE provide themes for the soon to be released sing-a-long children's book, Musical Storyland. This brilliantly illustrated read-a-long, sing-a-long text and musical disc helps children improve their reading skills while exposing them to music and visual art. This book is packed with mysterious and sometimes zany characters that mesmerize all audiences. Although this book is designed for children ages four and up, adults will also find themselves captivated by the incredible themes, catchy tunes and exceptional artwork. This fully illustrated 32 page, jacketed, hardcover book contains a musical disc with 25 minutes of playing time and retails for $19.99. Contact Worlds In Ink Publishers, Inc for distributing and sales information at www.WorldsInInk.com.
Author JAMILLA NAJI's inspiration for the book was generated by her great appreciation of David Bowie's music and what she refers to as the "musical generation gap" she experiences with her daughter. She states, "Songs we all learned as young children have their time and place, but I hardly feel like singing them as an adult. This music is timeless and can be enjoyed by all ages."
The high quality and ingenuity of this book is the product of two and a half years of full time work by illustrator and author Jamilla Naji of San Diego, California combined with the design contributions of Chris Bryson at the Waxed Paper Press, New York. Universal Music Special Markets, TRO Essex Music, Inc., Warner Bros. Publications U.S. Inc, and Embassy Music Corporation provide the authoritative source material for this project.
Jamilla Naji is one of twelve featured artists this year at the San Diego ArtWalk fine art exhibition. ArtWalk will be held in the Little Italy neighborhood of downtown San Diego, CA on April 24th and 25th from noon to 6:00pm. Jamilla will be displaying original artwork from Musical Storyland and signing books at this event. For more information on ArtWalk, please refer to the website www.artwalkinfo.com.

Who is not a fan of natural, dense, and long lashes? Lashes that give us a dramatic look are purely sacred to us. We want to protect them at all costs. But, if you seek your lashes to provide the same edge as fake lashes, a lash serum may be your way to go. Lash serums support the eyelash to grow longer in their growth phase. Olaplex Lashbond Building Serum claims to do the same. We will determine if it’s true at the end of our Olaplex Lash Serum Reviews.
I can feel you when you consider why some products don’t turn out as exemplary as their brands claim to be. It is solely because of the fake advertising of such products. Is this lash serum one of them? Well, you will get to know about that shortly.
Olaplex Lash Serum Reviews | Is It Legit?
Olaplex Lash Serum says it can deliver longer, fuller, and conditioned lashes that will be naturally healthy. It comes with a nourishing complex to nurture the growth of the lashes. It claims to show results in as little as 2 weeks. But is it possible to get results within such a short period?
To know the answer, I had to order it. I have not tried any Olaplex hair care products until now, but I convinced myself to try this lash serum. I had no significant complaints except that my lashes were thin, and wanted to give them a fuller look. I have been using it for about a month now, and believe me or not; the results have surprised me. I will let you know if this product is genuine, but first, let us know why our lashes become vulnerable to breakage.
Why do our lashes fall so much?
We lose between two to four lashes daily, which is considered ‘normal.’ But any rapid lash loss is a siren call to overview your eyelash health. There are several reasons why people lose more lashes than the average. Some of us may have hormonal ailments like Thyroid, Diabetes, or other endocrine disorders that have hair loss (accompanied by eyelash loss) as one of their symptoms.
Wrong behaviors such as wearing eye makeup for too long, harshly removing lash extensions, or using eyelash curlers excessively may also be a few reasons that cause lash loss. Or it may be severe health conditions such as Skin Cancer, Alopecia (immune system attacking hair follicles to cause hair loss), Blepharitis, etc.
Stress, inflammatory diseases, and nutritional deficiencies also contribute to hair loss on the scalp and lash line. And so, many of us may opt for over-the-counter lash serums alongside our generic treatments. Honestly speaking, lash serums give us relief from our existing bare-numbered lashes. This is what makes the Olaplex Lash Serum so unique. Let’s delve into its comprehensive report.
This transparent serum is lightweight and feels like nothing when applied to the upper lash line. This cylindrical-shaped product, coming in a light gray color, has an applicator that resembles an orange-colored, thin, and pointed brush at the tip. It weighs 0.15 oz or 4.5 ml. A lash serum that is successful in its clinical test on 33 subjects for 12 weeks is worth your watch.
- A clear, lightweight serum to promote the appearance of thicker, longer, stronger, full-volume lashes.
- Formulated with a proprietary multi-peptide blend.
- Ophthalmologist tested. Eye color & skin pigment safe. Non-irritating.
- English (Publication Language)
This lash serum is not only suitable for all skin types but also is compatible with the use of lash lifts, lash extensions, contacts, and false lashes. It contains the Olaplex Peptide Complex Technology, a proprietary blend of potent peptides in a highly effective concentration that boosts hair growth along the lash line in its initial phase. This technology is said to support the skin barrier at the lash line and aid you in the natural growth cycle and lash retention. This is why the lashes look longer, thicker, stronger, and fuller after a few weeks of its application.
Who Can Benefit from Olaplex Lash Serum?
- Individuals with thin and sparse lashes
- Those seeking to restore damage, dryness, and brittleness in their lashes
- People experiencing lash shedding due to factors like aging, allergies, or medical conditions
- Those with short lashes
- Anyone aiming to enhance the overall health and look of their lashes
How To Use?
How you apply a product is very important as it sets the base for good results to be seen. This Lashbond Serum should be used in a particular way so that you reap maximum benefits from it. Follow these steps –
- Use it twice (AM and PM) daily on clean and dry skin.
- Just dip the brush once and apply it to the skin along the upper lash line of both eyes. Do not apply it on the lower lash line.
- Let it dry for 90 seconds, and do not wash it off.
- If you wear contacts, apply the serum first. Then wait for 10-15 minutes before wearing your contacts. This lash serum is safe for lash lifts, extensions, and false lashes. Allow the serum to dry completely for 90 seconds before applying any makeup.
And Voila! You are good to go for the rest of your day. But be sure of the ingredients that decide whether you want them on your eyelids first. Quickly glance at them here.
Olaplex Lash Serum Ingredients
Here are some of the vital ingredients in this lash serum.
Hyaluronic Acid is beneficial in hydrating the skin. Due to its nourishing ability, it encourages the eyelashes to be stronger and fuller. It is an effective treatment for those who suffer from dry eyes as it may help them lock moisture. I feel that it may be Hyaluronic Acid that adds moisture to my eyes as they feel soft and supple after I apply this lash serum.
Biotin is the second half of the nourishing complex after Hyaluronic Acid. It stimulates the blood circulation near lash follicles which helps in their growth. This ingredient helps in preventing hair breakage and promotes Keratin production.
Butylene Glycol enhances texture and absorption of the serum into the skin. It has low levels of irritation, but a possibility of rare contact dermatitis still exists.
Glycerin is a natural emollient that helps to nourish your lashes. It softens the hair and is generally known for its moisture-lock feature.
Now, let us go through the factors that may make you like (or not) the product. Here is the list of the pros and cons of this product.
Pros Of Olaplex Lash Serum
- Cruelty-free and Vegan.
- Comes with the tag of Clean at Sephora.
- Ophthalmologist-tested and easy to use.
- Free of parabens, gluten and prostaglandin.
- Lifts, conditions, and enhances the lashes to look fuller and dense.
- It may not work on a few people.
- Comes with an exorbitant price tag.
- Sensitive-skinned folks may undergo a meager irritation.
- The applicator isn’t a spoolie brush to cover lashes as well.
A Sign Of Worry
This lash serum contains Phenoxyethanol, used as a preservative that is proven to cause severe allergic reactions on the skin. Exposure to this ingredient may irritate your eyes if you have sensitive skin. Another ingredient is Chlorphenesin, which may cause irritation and contact dermatitis. Someone with sensitive and dry skin may not want them in any cosmetics. If that is the case with you, you may want to avoid this product.
The customers who have used this product have professed a mixed reaction to this product. Check them out here!
Buyer’s Assessment | Olaplex Lash Serum Reviews
I will review the Olaplex Lashbond Building Serum first. So, I applied it twice a day as directed by the product. Though it says you see the results in a month, I started noticing them in the 5th week. I saw a few lashes grown in the area where I had a shallow number of lashes. Thankfully, I don’t have sensitive skin, which may be the reason behind the effortless fit of this serum into my skin. I am planning to continue using it as of now. I am excited to see how it goes for another month. But you need to hear out these other women out here as well.
Serina says, “I lost all my eyelashes due to my disease. The re-growth was almost negligible. I didn’t know that this lash serum would work magic on me. Though my lashes are not full, they appear more than before. I love my lashes now.”
Joyce comments,” There is so much I love in this product. I wear my contacts and still apply them with no hesitation yet. Other prescribed lash enhancers that I tried initially would burn my skin. But this is just fine. Usually, I wait for 15 minutes before I put on my contacts.”
Matilda asserts, “My Lord! I am so happy to have heard from my friend Sarah, who suggested the lash serum. This lash serum really works! I love the look of my eyes. They are full of lashes, and it looks super lavish nowadays.”
Jenny complains, “My lashes have fallen off just after a couple of its use. So I have discontinued using it as it took away my remaining few lashes. I barely have any lashes now, and I’m on my way to seek a doctor’s help.”
Mistine refutes, “I don’t buy everything that this product claims. I wear glasses and have sensitive skin. I didn’t know about it until recently. My eyelids were irritated for a while after having applied this serum. Maybe this product isn’t for me.”
Kayle remarks, “This product is exactly the same as described. I received the exact packaging, and it successfully gave me a denser lash line which I can’t get over now.”
FAQs | Olaplex Lash Serum Reviews
You may have some doubts even after going through the entire description. For that, check out the answers below to the most common questions that linger on internet searches.
Should I use Olaplex Lashbond Serum?
Yes! You can use Olaplex Lashbond Serum if you seek to get fuller lashes. It supports your skin barrier at the lash line, thus preventing any damage to it (due to any reasons) that may hinder the growth of your lashes.
Is Olaplex from Sephora real?
Yes, Olaplex products from Sephora are authentic. You may avail of specific discounts that Sephora has from time to time. For that, you need to check out their official site. You get a wide range of products from Olaplex, their reviews, and other details.
Does lash serum work on hair?
As lash serums are specifically designed to support hair growth, they may also aid the hairline. But some lash serums are designed differently and may contain ingredients that may not suit the scalp. So, the answer is yes, lash serums may work on hair due to their hair growth formulation, but one shouldn’t rely on them entirely for hair growth on the scalp.
Which Olaplex product is the best?
Olaplex is known for its hair care products. A lot of people have reaped benefits from several of its products. Since I haven’t used any of its hair care products yet, I would consider Olaplex Lashbond Serum the best product from Olaplex. But other products, such as Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo or Olaplex No.7 Bonding Hair Oil, have also fared well among its users.
Does Olaplex lash serum have any side effects?
Consumers have reported a few side effects, such as lashes falling out and irritation. But overall, it has worked well for the majority of its users. Suppose you have sensitive eyes with a history of irritation with eye cosmetics in the past. In that case, you may seek an expert’s advice before trying out this product.
Does Olaplex lash serum have prostaglandin?
Though prostaglandin can provide you with longer lashes, they disrupt your eyelash growth cycle and trigger some other malfunctions in your body. So No! Olaplex Lash serum does not have prostaglandin. Instead, it is formulated with Olaplex Peptide Technology (containing peptides to support the growth and retention phases of the lash cycle) to give you the look of fuller, extended, and healthy lashes.
Is Olaplex Lashbond Serum available on Amazon?
Yes, this lash serum is available on Amazon. You may order it from here after checking out the additional details above.
Our detailed Olaplex Lash Serum Reviews come to an end here. To sum it up, I would say this lash serum deserves a try. But don’t go overboard and start applying it in hefty amounts. Use it as directed and stay patient. The results may surprise you, too, as they did to me. You should also first go through the ingredients list, which I recommend.
Be sure to remove your eye makeup before sleep, and wear glasses whenever going out in the sun. At the end of the day, it rests on you how well you have taken care of your eyelashes. Though this product is ophthalmologist-tested and free of prostaglandin, you should scan it under your doctor’s eye if you have sensitive skin.

Best Practice : Corrosion Prevention
Raytheon Missile Systems’ Louisville facility, working with its vendors, implemented an innovative process for sealing bolt heads and insulating external connectors from the environment, preventing corrosion and water intrusion.
A corrosion control program has been in place at the Raytheon-Louisville facility since 1983. The Corrosion Control Program has its roots in a series of U.S. Navy (USN) Ordnance Alterations (ORDALTS) issued following an evaluation of the corrosion performance for the Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS). It was determined that corrosion problems on Phalanx were caused by galvanic corrosion between the aluminum components of Phalanx and stainless steel hardware. Water intrusion was also a contributing factor to the corrosion.
The ORDALTS prescribed the use of polysulfide sealants to isolate dissimilar metals and protect the hardware from the environment. The manual process was to seal with MIL-PRF-81733 polysulfide sealant, which was hand- applied, and top-coat the seal with AMS-S-8802 polysulfide sealant (Figure 2-1). The most common application was to seal bolt heads and connectors.
In 2005 Raytheon-Louisville worked with its material vendors to implement a better method for protecting hardware and connectors from the environment. The solutions were to use cold-shrink tubing on external connectors and poly caps for fastener heads. Poly caps are molded AMS-S-8802 polysulfide sealant filled with MIL-PRF-81733 polysulfide sealant, then frozen. Poly caps are supplied in the frozen state and thawed for use (Figure 2-2). Cold- shrink is expanded material that is constrained from collapsing. When the constraint is removed, the material collapses to its normal state and seals around the connector or cable. The mechanical seal is tight enough to insulate the connectors from the environment.
The implementation of poly caps has reduced touch labor for the hardware sealing operation by 75% and reduced the drying time necessary for polysulfide sealants by 50%. Hazardous material use and waste has also been reduced. Poly caps have increased safety due to a decrease in injuries associated with the application and removal process. Because it is a new method of applying the same material, this process did not require an engineering change. Cold- shrink has resulted in a 50% reduction in the time spent completing the connector sealing operation. The drying time of the polysulfide sealants and hazardous material has also been eliminated from this operation. Both processes have significantly increased the consistency and uniformity of the application of the material.

Now you may be thinking that, as a food blogger, I should find some way to write a blog! But it's difficult when your favourite time to cook is missing!
Some may also question why I dont just cook more breakfasts... which I should. But breakfast has never been my favourite meal of the day, and often I am fairly boring at that time in the morning. My culinary explorations dont normally kick in until later in the day.
I have been wanting to cook for weeks, collecting recipes online and in a few cookbooks available to me. Today I had the first opportunity to cook, and while it seems a fairly boring recipe, there are summer flavours locked inside! There are many opportunities to make several different varieties of salad throughout the summer, and this is probably one of the easiest.
The key to this recipe is the simplicity in the flavours. It isn't complicated at all, and is just a simple salad, but it's still delicious.
Mild Blue Cheese - in chunks, about a handful
Fresh Blueberries - handful
Almonds - handful
Combine the ingredients and you have it! I just put on a raspberry vinaigrette (Not homemade, im not that fancy tonight)
Obviously not a challenging recipe, but it still tasted delicate to me! It's also a good meal when short on time or the urge to create a large meal just hasn't happened. I am quite sure that anyone reading would just laugh at how easy this was made, but sometimes these easy recipes are the best! Dont forget to try them for yourself!

The liquid you are removing is a so put it into a glass container and beware not to mess any of it on your hands or clothes. Make certain that you deal with the eliminated battery acid in a safe and accountable manner (recondition a battery). The gotten rid of battery acid is very corrosive and consists of heavy metals, mainly lead.
Do this by boiling water and continuously stirring in more salts until say goodbye to will liquify in the water. Then fill each cell with the Epsom salt service to the full level line utilizing the syringe or dropper. When charging the battery while it is being reconditioned, some gas will be released, so it is recommended to leave the caps open.
If the battery is greatly drained or damaged, it may need to be charged over night with a at an extremely low amperage. If you do not have a battery charger then change the battery cell caps and covers and re-install the battery in the vehicle. Jump begin it and then take it for a complete hour or 2 drive to enable the battery to charge utilizing the.
As some users in the comments section have actually recommended, the very best solution would be to let the reconditioning process run for a couple of days to appropriately "tidy" the plates and then drain the Epsom salt option from the battery and change it with the recommended 35/65 acid solution. Ensure that your battery is discharged prior to eliminating the Epsom salt solution and changing it with the acid option.
Share this guide with your buddies: Hi, my name is Michael and I began this blog site in 2016 to share my Do It Yourself journey with you - recondition car battery for sale. I love tinkering with electronics, making, repairing, and building I'm always searching for brand-new projects and interesting Do It Yourself ideas. If you do too, grab a cup of coffee and settle in, I more than happy to have you here.
Uh oh! If the battery in your cars and truck is dead, it can be a huge trouble. There are 2 easy ways to charge the battery: using a battery charger or using a running cars and truck battery. Follow these guidelines to recharge it rapidly and safely. Don't get stranded. Merely keeping a battery charger unit in your trunk can conserve you from a dicey scenario.
Just hook it up and charge up the battery, then get back on the roadway. These gadgets normally cost in between $30 and $120. The rates vary with the brand name and the number of output and charging settings supplied. You can purchase one at any vehicle accessory shop. Many battery charger devices work with basic 12V automobile batteries, consisting of deep cycle or gel batteries.
It's a good idea to wear gloves and eye security (car battery reconditioning). Eliminate any jewelry or loose clothes. Make certain that the charger is as far away from the cars and truck as the cable televisions will allow. Check the manual to see if your cars and truck has a remote favorable terminal located in another part of the car; use this terminal for more secure charging.
Don't deal with the battery when linking the clamps. Do not touch the clamps while the battery charger is on. Never connect the negative clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or body panels of the car. Select the proper setting to fit the kind of charge depending upon the type of battery in your car and the speed of the charge required.
If you see a 'crank help' setting, this is for simply leap beginning the battery. Examine the vehicle handbook to be sure your vehicle's voltage matches the battery charger's DC output voltage. The fast charging setting needs to just be utilized in emergency situations. The slow charging setting is less taxing on the actual battery - how do you recondition a dead car battery.
It's suggested that you let the lorry charge over night with this setting. If the battery was entirely dead, it might use up to 24 hr to charge completely. Inspect to make sure the battery charger is not connected into a source of power - what is in battery reconditioning solution. Leave it unplugged in the meantime. Select the appropriate charge setting and rate for your scenario and battery type.
Locate the favorable and unfavorable sides of the cars and truck battery. Search for a P, POS or the + sign for positive; and N, NEG or symbol for the negative near the terminal. Clip the red cable television to the favorable side of the battery terminal. Then, attach the black cable to the negative side of the battery terminal.
An extension cord might be required to reach the cars and truck. Await the battery to completely charge. Then, disconnect the charging gadget from the power source (what is in battery reconditioning solution). Shut off the device. Then disconnect both the favorable and negative clamps. After disconnecting, shutting off and detaching the charger, you can check the charge with a multimeter.
6 volts or greater to be thought about charged - what is in battery reconditioning solution. If you don't have this tool, attempt to start the engine and switch on the headlights. The second technique for charging a car battery is to utilize jumper cables to link the dead batter to a running one. Many drivers are already familiar with jumper cable televisions, but not everyone makes sure how to utilize them correctly to link 2 automobiles.
Before attempting to charge a battery with jumper cable televisions, examine these essential security suggestions. It's a good idea to wear gloves and eye defense. Make sure that the 2 vehicles have batteries with similar voltage. Failing to do this might lead to damage to the electrical components of the car. Get rid of any jewelry or loose clothes.
Check the manual to see if your car has a remote positive terminal located in another part of the lorry; use this terminal for much safer charging. Constantly utilize the red favorable jumper cable first. Do not face the battery when connecting the clamps. Do not touch the clamps while the automobile is running.
Never connect jumper cables to the unfavorable post of the dead vehicle battery because it can trigger stimulating. Position the cars and truck with the live battery near, but not touching, the car with the dead battery. Put both cars in park and switch off the engines. Connect the jumper cables in the appropriate order.
Second, connect the other end of the red cable television to the positive side of the live battery. Third, connect one end of the black cable to the unfavorable side of the live battery. Finally, carefully secure the other end of the black cable television to some big metal part of your cars and truck's engine block.
Start the engine of the working battery. Let the car idle for a couple of minutes. what is battery reconditioning. Start the engine of the dead battery. When the engine has actually turned over and is running, instantly disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order. It is essential to very first detach the black cable television from the engine block of the car that had the dead battery.
Then, drive the cars and truck for at least another 30 minutes to offer the battery a good charge.

Andy Burnham to drive a £400m economic boost for India and the North of England
(New Delhi) Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, is leading a 30-strong delegation visit to India this week (6-11 October) to celebrate and strengthen bilateral ties in trade, investment, tourism, culture and education between India and Manchester, UK. The visit follows a three-day trip to Bangladesh from 3-5 October.The delegation is expected to agree a series of deals and partnerships boosting jobs in Greater Manchester, and supporting wider ambitions to drive a £400m economic boost for India and the North of England in the next five years.
The visit is being delivered by the Manchester India Partnership, an award-winning organisation established in 2018 to bring together businesses, universities and the public sector to develop a strategic approach to engaging India, in collaboration with the Department for International Trade.The delegation will visit Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi during the six-day trip, meeting with government officials and business leaders across numerous industries. The Manchester India Partnership will also host three major events in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi to engage with Indian businesses of all scale, including SMEs, and drive future collaboration between the two regions.
Mr Burnham was elected Mayor of Greater Manchester in 2017. He steers the work of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, leading on issues such as the economy and public services, and represents Greater Manchester at UK government level.His role ranges from setting budgets and priorities to acting as an ambassador for the region. In government, he has held ministerial positions at the Home Office, Department of Health and the Treasury. In 2008 he became Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, before returning to Health as Secretary of State in 2009. In opposition, Andy has served as Shadow Education Secretary, Shadow Health Secretary and Shadow Home Secretary.
Speaking ahead of the trip, Mr Burnham said: “With broader economic uncertainty over Brexit, it’s good to be able to enjoy support from international partners, of which India is one of the city-region’s – and the wider UK’s – most important. India is a key market in Greater Manchester’s internationalisation strategy as it presents significant opportunities to the city-region, but these opportunities are mutual, and Greater Manchester is also helping India with its own economic growth plans.“This visit provides an opportunity to explore the benefits of collaboration resulting from the creation of the Manchester India Partnership and showcase the impact of our strengthened relationships across digital technology, engineering, advanced manufacturing, healthcare and academia; while also emphasising opportunities for tourism, sport and cultural collaboration.”
Manchester sits at the heart of the North of England and the Northern Powerhouse, which comprises cities Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Hull. A report commissioned by the Manchester India Partnership and the Confederation of Indian Industry in 2018 (The Northern Powerhouse and India: Unlocking the Opportunity) estimated the economic value of the Northern Powerhouse’s relationship with India as being worth up to £400m over the next five years.Initiatives backed by the Indian government, such as Digital India, Make in India, and Clean Energy India, align with Greater Manchester’s research and innovation strengths in technology, advanced manufacturing and energy – creating huge opportunities for partnership. Greater Manchester is recognised as the UK’s fastest growing and most economically productive city region and India has the fastest growing economy in the world, making them the perfect bilateral collaborators.
Sir Dominic Asquith, British High Commissioner to India, said: “I am delighted that the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, and a delegation of senior representatives from Manchester and the North West of England are visiting India. This will be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the ties between the Manchester city-region and India.“The visit will continue the work that the Manchester India Partnership is doing, in partnership with the Department for International Trade, to bring together business, universities and the public sector in our two countries. There are great opportunities to develop in both regions, as well as the person-to-person living bridge links that exist in culture, sport and education.” Andrew Cowan, Chair of the MIP and CEO of Manchester Airport, said: “Having established the MIP less than two years ago, huge progress has been made on a number of fronts, including increased levels of trade and investment, a series of academic and research partnerships and several cultural and sporting collaborations – some of which we will celebrate during this trip, while strengthening and deepening our ties with one of the UK’s most important economies.“Earlier this year, a highlight for Manchester was hosting six ICC World Cup fixtures at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, for which we welcomed thousands of Indian visitors to the city. The tournament positioned Manchester firmly on the world sporting stage – in particular during the India v Pakistan game, which is understood to have been seen by more than one billion people worldwide.
“This trip provides the perfect opportunity to build on that and explore further opportunities for collaboration between our two great regions while visiting India this week.”More than 30 professionals from over 20 companies and organisations are joining the delegation, which comprises four thematic groups:
Digital and Technology – led by Jon Corner, CEO of The Landing, a ground breaking technology and business innovation hub housing over 90 companies, and Chief Digital Officer for City of Salford, where he leads its ambitious vision to position Salford as a true ‘Digital City’.
Health Innovation – led by Kailash Chand OBE, award-winning doctor and Honorary Vice President of the British Medical Association, the professional association for doctors in the United Kingdom.
Tourism, Culture and Sport – led by Sheona Southern, Managing Director of Marketing Manchester – the agency charged with promoting Greater Manchester on the national and international stage to visitors, investors, conference organisers and students.
Education – senior figures from the University of Salford (Vice Chancellor, Professor Helen Marshall) and the University of Bolton (Deputy Vice Chancellor, Dr Kondal Reddy Kandadi) join the delegation to celebrate and promote knowledge sharing and innovation partnerships between academic and business institutions in Greater Manchester and India.

Danny, a worker at the Immokalee & Collier Blvd store, was extremely disrespectful. On 2/18/07, my uncle, Mr Irizarry (who is making this complaint) asked Danny why did he not take my order, since I was next. He responded to Mr Irizarry (who is 62 years old & retired), don't bother me take a walk. Mr Irizarry goes to Primo Pizza after church every Sunday. Due to the treatment that he recieved from Danny (who refused to give a contact number for a complaint), Mr Irizarry & his family will NEVER eat or recommend Primo Pizza to anyone.

The Coral Sea tropical cyclone seasonal outlook has been moved to http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/outlooks/seasonal/qld.shtml. Please update your bookmarks.
Issued: Monday, 15 October 2012
Tropical cyclone outlook released, communities urged to prepare early
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued its tropical cyclone seasonal outlook today, reminding communities in Australia's northern coastal regions to prepare now for the coming wet season.
Bureau of Meteorology Climate Prediction Manager, Dr Andrew Watkins, said advances in the science of climate prediction allow us to accurately gauge the likelihood of above or below average tropical cyclone activity, and better inform severe weather planning.
"The overall outlook is for a return to near average, or slightly below average, tropical cyclone activity, but this does not mean we can afford to be complacent about the risks," said Dr Watkins.
"The tropical cyclone outlook uses key climate indicators to look at what the coming season may bring. Currently the climate is in neutral territory, meaning neither La Niña or El Niño conditions are present. Typically La Niña events are associated with more tropical cyclone activity, and El Niño with less," said Dr Watkins.
Queensland Regional Director, Rob Webb, said that with the cyclone season rapidly approaching, taking a few simple steps to prepare now can make a world of difference.
"The average number of cyclones sits around four in the Queensland region and although they don't all cross the coast, even the risk of a single cyclone or flood makes the preparation worthwhile," said Mr Webb.
"When it comes to flooding, Queensland has seen widespread activity in recent years, and while we don't expect the same extent of flooding this year, we can expect typical periodic flooding in parts of the state.
"Summer is a great time of year and we all look forward to it. Tropical cyclones and floods are part of the climate that comes with the warm, tropical Queensland weather. Enjoy the sunshine, but stay tuned for what the weather might bring, particularly when you're on holidays and in unfamiliar territory," said Mr Webb.
Emergency Management Queensland Assistant Director-General Bruce Grady said the release of the tropical cyclone outlook was a prime time for Queenslanders to ensure they were prepared.
"When disaster strikes, communities can be isolated, power can be cut and damaged roads and debris can prevent emergency services from reaching you. It is vital people ensure their emergency plans and emergency kits are up to date, their homes are prepared and they know how they can seek valuable information if required," said Mr Grady.
The Bureau of Meteorology Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Queensland operates out of the Brisbane Regional Office. Here specialist forecasters work around the clock with our emergency services partners to keep you informed.

So I recently found a copy of an 80’s monster movie I’d been trying to track down for years- Blue Monkey from 1987. One thing I totally dig is an awesome or even badly entertaining 80’s horror flick and with this one I was certain I’d found either a lost gem or at the very least a full on golden turd!! Well it turns out I was quite wrong on both guesses, after years of waiting I was quite disappointed to find out Blue Monkey is neither, but rather a total snooze fest that’s bound to put the kibosh on any movie nite party!!
The funny thing is for the first half hour this one delivers some serious promise, that’s the sad thing because after a strong opening you’re so damn sure this movie is going to deliver the goods and then some that it’s tough to give up on it! The basic premise is someone gets bit by a weird bug in an exotic greenhouse that causes big slug like parasites to emerge from the hosts mouth. When the person is taken to the hospital that’s when the “mayhem” begins and then quickly peters out into a movie that feels far, FAR longer than it’s 97 minute run time!! Yeah the first half hour has some cool gross out fx and even introduces us to a young Sarah Polley!
Aside from that there’s not much else to report, the rest of the movie features a shit ton of boring ass scenes of people walking around dark hallways and talking about a ton of shit my brain wasn’t willing to absorb. I watched this at a movie nite on a projector and as I looked around the room it was clear this movie was the fucking cure to the most intense case of insomnia!! I’d also like to add that there’s no blue monkey or anything related to a damn blue monkey in the whole damn film!!
Yeah people were nodding off and some I think got some nice zzzzz’s during most of the movies tiresome duration. When we finally get to see the monster mutant bug it’s just too little too late to give a damn. The only thing that kept this movie the least bit interesting were the two boozed up senior citizen patients at the hospital, and even the promise they showed waned pretty damn quick. The actual monster itself was actually pretty well done. If they’d have had the creature stalk people on and off during the loooong ass middle section of this movie it’d have been a helluva lot easier to sit through. Even adding a few of those “shadowy creature arm attacks and you throw some fake blood on a wall” type of scenes could have saved this one from being a full blown fucking sleep-aid!
I get really bummed out by movies like this, that with some clever editing, could have actually been a pretty fun little romp. It seems though the only thing this one succeeds at is being spectacularly boring, proving again the search for that lost 80’s horror gem is a tuff one. Every so often I’m proven wrong but usually if I haven’t heard of a movie being awesome from the 70’s or 80’s by the year 2017 there’s usually good reason! I’m glad the wait is over though with Blue Monkey, even though it was a total turd, it’s one I can happily cross off the list. This one never got a proper DVD release and now it’s finally clear why…you’ve been warned!!
Here’s yet another entry for all you folks out there who STILL get dvds in the mail from Netflix! I know there aren’t all that many of us left these days, but I’m the type of guy who still thinks dvds are the bees knees! Yeah!! So what of it?!! Don’t get me wrong, I still stream stuff on the online Neflix site but let’s be honest most of that shit SUCKS – Hence why I’ve been combing the dvd Neflix library for lost gems!
Good news folks, I found another gem in their vast sea of aging dvds, this time we’re looking at a movie from Hong Kong from way back in 1987: EVIL CAT. I’m not quite sure how I stumbled upon this cool ass little Chinese horror movie but I’m glad I did cuz it was a ton o’ fun! This crazy ass little movie is jam packed with quirk, 80’s electricity and frantic action sequences, basically everything I dig about the 80’s. Director Dennis Yu brings the fun and amps up some seriously ridiculous shit as we follow the exploits of an evil cat spirit (who’da thunk huh?) that’s released from it’s ancient sealed tomb by a construction crew & unleashed upon Hong Kong in the late 80’s.
The movie moves at brisk pace too, the evil cat spirit moves from body to body kinda like that Denzel Washington movie ‘Fallen’ if it was more of a spastic colorful horror romp. It’s actually pretty damn funny when the spirit possesses people, they start acting like wild feral cats growling and scratching like maniacs. It’s pretty cool to see these actors go for it and go pretty far over the top with their possessions.
The evil cat spirit however has problems of it’s own though as we learn over centuries one family has been hunting it and keeping it in check over generations. In the 1980’s there’s an old badass dude from that bloodline who’s dying from cancer who pulls out the old magic bow & arrows from storage to put a stop to the feline madness himself. There’s some sweet plot twists here, crazy characters & some surprising gore that pops in out of nowhere from time to time. The movie never really drags and wears it’s 80’s influences firmly on it’s sleeve. You get a pretty damn fine representation of what Hong Kong was like in the 1980’s, filled with neon and great 80’s fashion. It’s clear if you’re looking for more great crazy cinema from that era, there’s a treasure trove of movies waiting to be discovered from Hong Kong studios.
Evil Cat is definitely worth tracking down and the finale is pretty cool especially when the evil cat possesses a woman who’s nearly as unstoppable as the Terminator! The actual cat spirit is portrayed several times as cool hand drawn animation & then as basically a female cat “creature” pulled from the broadway musical “Cats”.
So while there were several aspects of the movie that could have been done better it was still an incredibly inspired 80’s effort to witness for the first time with no expectations. Also if you’re a fan of kung fu there’s some cool crazy showdowns and plenty of humor thrown into the mix. Some if it being likely being due to some shoddy subtitles and translations that just add more charm to the viewing experience. Track down EVIL CAT or if you still have a Netflix dvd account then throw it into you’re queue!!
People seem to tell themselves that they love the Netflix streaming stuff, but I’m here to say if you’re a movie maniac like myself, then you’re missing out a bit if you’ve stopped with the dvd mailing package that everyone used to have. Yep, I still get those red and white envelopes in the mail and continue to comb the Netflix dvd library for some lost gems. When I say these are “lost gems” I’m saying it with love for flicks with that 70’s and 80’s charm that I simply adore so damn much. This is a fun one to add to your Queue..
So I recently checked out a movie from 1989 called ‘Night Visitor’ which is part raunchy teen comedy mixed with a bit of “suspenseful” horror cheez. I’d always remembered the vhs cover artwork for this movie and was pleasantly surprised at how well it delivered the goods albeit, it’s ridiculous manner. I guess one of the draws for the movie was Shannon Tweed’s inclusion as the ultra sexy single next door neighbor lady. She’s pretty well known for her “erotic” thrillers of the 80’s and 90’s and also as Gene Simmons of Kiss’ longtime lover. Of course in the 80’s where there’s a sexy neighbor there’s sure to be some horny teenager spying ala “Rear Window” style on her. That’s the main premise of this one. Teen prankster/known bull shit artist, Billy, is ecstatic to find out Tweed has moved in as his new neighbor and he can’t stop spyin’ on her through his bedroom window. Yeah he’s got a reputation and he’s got troubles at school particularly with history teacher who’s fed up with his cocky demeanor & lames excuses for being continuously late to class.
Things turn into risky biz as it seems Tweed’s just fine with his new hobby as she flirts nightly with Billy through her bedroom window letting him in on her sessions of passion. Of course though if things just seem too good to be true they likely are for a horny teen in the 1980’s – Things take a dark and “dangerous” turn when one night he witnesses her get killed by a creepy robed slasher dude in a demonic mask! In the midst of the mayhem he learns the slasher’s actually his naggin’ pain in the ass history teacher, played by Allen Garfield, who here, oddly creepily resembles the crazy conspiracy theorist Alex Jones! Of course Billy’s shocked (and a bit bummed out) by this cuz his new perverted pastime comes to a sudden halt and even worse that no one believes his crazy ass story.
It seems to take some plot points from the far superior ‘Fright Night’ but Night Visitor still manages to provide some cheezball 80’s fun as we follow Billy’s elaborate plan to foil his deranged teacher’s path of destruction. It’s a decent yet ridiculous little horror movie that also features Elliot Gould in the “Peter Vincent” sorta role to team up with the teen hero. Night Visitor is definitely worth a watch if you’re down for some good C-level horror/thriller/erotic action with those 80’s genre tropes mashed up for good measure. It’s a fun “nobody believes me/everyone thinks I’m crazy when I’m not” flick. I oddly never seem to tire of that narrative and also really dig the whole “student vs his crazy teacher” plot line this one’s got going. Of course too I won’t lie, also back in the day I really didn’t mind when Shannon Tweed showed up in a movie and I still don’t! Check this out for some rather ridiculous fun and if you’re at all curious what it’d be like if Alex Jones taught at your high school, worshipped Satan and was hellbent on killin’ your ass!!
***This one was also known as ‘Never Cry Devil’
Unlike a most people I’ve STILL got the dvd mailers from Netflix coming my way. Let’s face the facts folks most movies online on Netflix watch instantly kinda suck, it’s crazy how many movies I’ve started and never finished on that damn website! So I’ve been combing the DVD version of the site trying to find cool old b-movie movies they’ve got in their ample reserve. Surprisingly I’ve found some decent lil’ gems there, most of said movies have terrible reviews and super duper low star ratings. I’m going to chronicle those here, the first one I’m recommending is a movie from 1989 called “Amok Train” or as it’s also known “Beyond the Door III”. Keep in mind this movie actually has nothing to do with either of the two previous ‘Beyond The Doors’ but even the Amok Train’s title screen calls it ‘Beyond the Door III’ in the actual movie.
Directed by Jeff Kwitny, who only directed four movies, one was the 1988 ski horror flick “Iced” that I now need to see as well. I wasn’t expecting a god damn thing from “Amok Train” to be honest but this movie actually delivered all the glorious 80’s cheez I personally crave on all levels! From it’s start I could tell just from the odd setting alone, as it was shot in Serbia and actually features some stunning locations that it had some promise going forward. The plot follows some American college students who head off on a class trip to Yugoslavia and witness some crazy ass pagan rituals, after traveling on a creepy ferry, which were surprisingly effectively pulled off. After most of the students survive the deadly encounter from the crazed locals they frantically run off into the woods and come across a moving train that’s barreling through the countryside. Of course they are able to just barely hop aboard (most of them at least) to their “safety” and of course that’s where the rest of the flick’s craziness mostly ensues.
I totally dig the setting of “the trapped on a train with evil forces” aspect of this one. The movie moves along at relatively fast pace as well. It’s got it’s fair share of impressive but ridiculous special effects, as well as some of the most idiotic “train out of control” sequences I’ve ever seen out on film. These scenes though, for me at least, enhance this C-level cinematic experience to higher levels of fun as the train seems to have an evil mind of it’s own. It switches course to evil paths on randomly appearing moving “possessed” train tracks. There’s some pretty cool yet cheezed out shit going on here, like the fact the train’s engine suddenly begins feeding on people rather than coal and the train is on a tight schedule to get one of the “virgin” college students on a perverted play date with the devil himself.
There’s also this cool 80’s badass soldier lady that joins the gang on the train who talks a lot of tuff guy shit and a killer scarf..yeah a killer scarf! The cast who’s got a It’s got some good gore also and stars Bo Svenson for anyone who gives a shit. For a flick I had zero expectations for it made for quite a fun evening of tokin’ and boozin’ it up a bit. If you dig obscure horror stuff that’s not on anyone’s radar then seek this out especially if you’re like me and still get pumped when you see that red and white Netflix dvd envelope in your mailbox!!
You ever have those movies that sit in your Netflix dvd Queue forever and then after years FINALLY arrive?! First off yeah I still got a dvd account with Netflix, the selection is totally way better and I also have the streaming too-so there. Anyway, get over it people, my point is I’ve got like 200 movies in that damn thing and most of em’ I probably will never get the time to check out. Surprisingly a movie snuck it’s way into the mix, ahh yes….’Superstition’ from 1982. I was pretty happy when it came in the mail, I’m always down for a good 80’s flick but I’ve been under the assumption these days that if I haven’t heard about a movie by now then it probably isn’t anything to write home about. Yep, I watch way too many movies, a lot of clunkers but every now and again I see something pretty damn cool that takes me by surprise.
‘Superstition’ (AKA “The Witch”) is one of those movies, from the opening scene it’s clear that you’re in for a bit of a treat. It’s essentially a haunted house movie, with some creepy witch business cleverly thrown in. The opening sequence has a some numb nut teenagers making out near a creepy old house in the woods, their sexy times get cut short by some meddling pranksters who give them a scare with some creepy props they’ve fastened in the trees above. After the two lovebirds flee for safety of course the pranksters can’t resist going into the house to fuck around. What follows are some impressive over the top gory kills, one of them gets thrown up into the ceiling, then winds up decapitated with his head in a microwave oven & eventually we get to see it explode. The other kid witnesses this and ends up being severed in half by a closing window. This opening sets the stage for a pretty entertaining little horror story. We have a bunch of religious nonsense as our main character is a priest who decides to fix up the property which belongs to the church readying it for a family to move into. Weird shit goes down almost instantly but you guessed it, the show goes on with little worry from anyone!
This one is definitely worth a watch, it’s only about 80 minutes long too, which I love, because one thing I’ve been noticing is there are a lot of movies from the 1980’s that would be fucking fantastic if you just cut 20 minutes out of their run time. Superstition succeeds in bringing some cool ass scenarios to life while trimming all the usual boring 80’s B.S. plots that go nowhere out of the mix. It’s a lean mean super solid retro haunted house movie, with some cool old school 17th century possessed witch flashbacks neatly inserted to give you the scoop on just what the hells going on. It’s got a ton of ridiculous characters in the frenzy of things as well with some comedic moments sprinkled in for good measure. I also think it’s got a pretty rock solid finale where the priest runs around with a magic cross he uses to ward off evil and blast open doors. Anyway I could go on but hey if you’re looking for a good gory 80’s haunted house movie look no further Superstition has got the goods!
I finally hooked myself up with a copy of ‘Mosquito’ from 1994 and was quite pleased to find it was worth the effort tracking down. I’d been curious about this movie for a long time, I actually have owned a ‘region 2’ dvd for years but never could get it to play on any player. So recently I found a proper American copy of the movie, which boasts a couple interesting people in major roles. Ron Asheton (R.I.P.), legendary guitarist for The Stooges as a heroic but bumbling park ranger & Gunnar Hansen (R.I.P.), the original Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as a tuff guy military dude. What a random combo huh? That alone was enough to peak my interest.
Being that this movie was released in 1994 I was always a bit skeptical on whether this one would rely on some horrendously shoddy amateur CGI for it’s pesky monster insects. Boy was I wrong, Mosquito ended up being a comically inspiring practical effects creature feature that could have easily been released in 1984. It feels like it’s an 80’s flick in every way imaginable. We get some nifty fx here done by way of puppetry, animatronics, cartoons and full on stop motion animation. Talk about utiltilizing all aspects of the fx spectrum, Mosquito goes the distance or at least tries it’s hardest with the budget it had. That’s not to say the special effects are amazing, quite the contrary, however the movie has some serious charm for the effort it goes to try an make this as epic as possible. This is clearly because the film’s director Gary Jones has been an fx who’s worked on films like Evil Dead II & Army of Darkness. There’s also cool RV crash and a real exploding house too. So yeah they were trying to cover their bases here on the action.
The plot is your basic ‘ufo crashes near a small town and pesky monsters attack the locals’ and that’s a good thing because it’s trying it’s best to be on par with movies like Critters or The Blob. It’s pretty heavy on comedy but at the same time really tries it’s damnedest to be fully bad ass. I really dig Gunnar Hansen in this movie too, he’s a total asset and they make sure to give you exactly what you want from him. A wise choice to give Gunnar his trusty signature chainsaw to do battle with the blood sucking beasts. There’s a line where he comes busting out with his chainsaw and says something like “Man, I haven’t handled one of these babies in 20 years”.
As Hansen never reprised his Leatherface role in a sequel you might be able to say perhaps the man behind the mask made good and helped fight off some killer mosquitos 20 years later! Hey maybe this is cannon in the Texas Chainsaw universe?! The further adventures of Leatherface…Anyway This is a super fun, totally cheezy 90’s monster movie if you are looking for a good party movie ‘Mosquito’ delivers the goods and then some!
I’ve been doing little movie nights at my shop Hollywood Babylon here in Portland, Oregon quite regularly now and I thought it’d be cool to start doing reviews of the flicks that we watch. I’ve gotta say investing in a projector is really one of the best things you can do if you’re a movie buff! The shop transforms into a mini theater and we can get as rowdy as we want! Often we try to pair an old and new movie together in hopes of ultimate cinematic bliss which is a hard task when you’re often trying to view something that’s new to everyone there. So last night seemed promising as we started off with a rare french flick from 1989 called:
“3615 CODE PERE NOEL” aka DEADLY GAMES, GAME OVER
What a treat this one was, I had meant to get this one this year for Christmas but it’s a hard one to track down at least with English subtitles or in real physical form. I don’t do the whole online downloading very often so I went to Ioffer.com which is your best bet for finding really rare movies “on DVD” unfortunately it didn’t arrive quite in time for Christmas this year.
3615 code Pere Noel or as it’s also known as “Deadly Games” is a total gem of a basically lost and forgotten 1980’s french holiday horror movie. The movies plot is simple and awesome. There’s a poor weird bearded guy who’s wandering the streets looking for children to “play” with during Christmas time and he lands himself a job at big time department store as their Santa Claus. Bad move because this dude is bat shit crazy and it’s not long before some little kid sitting on his lap tells him him she “doesn’t like his face”.
This sends him into an abusive rage which ends up getting the weird dude fired and sets him on course to our protagonist’s giant castle mansion. Yep the hero of this film is one cool ass nine year old kid who lives in a crazy mansion that’d make Ricky Schroder from Silver Spoons jealous! Continue reading

Lake Saint Louis has plans to install a new monument sign along eastbound Interstate 64 just before it reaches Prospect Road but the sign may cost a little more money than anticipated.
The sign would be the second that includes the name of the city located along I-64. The first sign is a long westbound I-64 near the interstate’s intersection with Route 364. The signs simply say “City of Lake Saint Louis” offering an indication of city boundaries.
In a memorandum from City Administrator Paul Markworth to the board, city staff asked the Missouri Department of Transportation [MoDOT] to grant an easement to place the second sign on the Prospect Road bridge slope. MoDOT said the location was too close to the interstate but they would consider another site.
“Unfortunately, MoDOT officials did not tell the us that this site on Prospect Road bridge slope wasn’t acceptable until after they reviewed a survey of the site of that location,” Markworth said. “That cost us more than $2,000 in survey fees.”
The proposed site now is on a prominent rock outcrop near where the Prospect Road on-ramps merge with the highway.
The sign’s estimated cost is $45,458; however, the city has just $42,700 remaining in its budget after spending $2,300 for the survey. Installing electric and lights would add $10,505 to bring the total cost to $55,963. That figure does include the cost of a new survey of the new site [which MoDOT requires], landscaping or a 30-foot easement of private property.
Regardless, the board agreed to move ahead with the sign construction and budget for landscaping and lighting and in next year’s budget. Markworth said construction may not begin until next spring.
Monument signs along I-64 have become popular with local municipalities as a means of identifying boundaries and enhancing community identity. O’Fallon has several monument signs that include one, along with flagpoles and lighting, particularly westbound on I-64 at Hwy. K.

I am fortunate enough that for the past ten years I have owned and lived in the Thomas Hollis Stace Cottage, a Grade 1 heritage-listed property located at the Eastern tip of the Pauatahanui Inlet, a local estuary, in Wellington New Zealand.
I believe the name Pauatahanui, comes from the Te Reo Maori translation meaning ‘Plenty of big Paua’ – a reference to the abundance of the local abalone found in the waters of the inlet itself prior to the waterline being raised by the large earthquakes of 1855.
The Eastern end of the Pauatahanui Inlet is now a bird and wildlife sanctuary and in the early, to mid-1990s the Thomas Hollis Stace Cottage was purchased and restored by the Royal New Zealand Forest and Bird Society while it was being used as their local offices.
The Cottage was originally built in 1860 by Thomas Hollis Stace, after whom it is referenced (though Hollis Stace himself never actually lived in the cottage).
Over the years the Cottage has operated as a family home, the local general store, police station, post office, and bakery and has had various names reflecting this (Garrison House, General Store, Stace Bake House, and Royal Forest and Bird Cottage).
On this page, you can find pictures of the cottage throughout its history and today along with links to further information.

Nollywood actress, Moyo Lawal, has made her intention known to change her style of dressing, which she said has made some people to see her in a different light.
The actress, who is currently on set a movie titled ‘Living in Lekki,’ explained that she might start dressing just like a role she is playing in the yet-to-be-released movie.
In the film, Moyo is playing the role of a preacher wearing a cloth that covers most parts of her body.
“I totally loved the costumes. I need to start dressing up like this,” she said after posting a picture of her costumes.
Moyo had said in one of her interviews that people think she is sexy because of the roles she plays in films.
“I think it is ironic because I don’t think I am that sexy in real life. That was why last year, I did not accept any role that portrayed me as being sexy. The only roles I accepted were the very serious ones. I am trying to bring a whole new side of Moyo Lawal to the table.
Being a s3x symbol is something I have accepted but it is time I pushed my career beyond projecting my sexiness,” she said in that interview.

Kevin McCallister would have never made it to the Plaza Hotel if Trump didn’t get his way.
Kevin McCallister may have never made it to the Plaza Hotel if Trump didn't get his way.
The President reportedly will only let crews film on his properties if they write him a part in the movie or TV show being filmed on the site, according to actor Matt Damon.
"The deal was that if you wanted to shoot in one of his buildings, you had to write him in a part," Damon said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"[DIRECTOR] Martin Brest had to write something in 'Scent of a Woman' — and the whole crew was in on it," he explained. "You have to waste an hour of your day with a bulls--t shot: Donald Trump walks in and Al Pacino's like, 'Hello, Mr. Trump!' — you had to call him by name — and then he exits. You waste a little time so that you can get the permit, and then you can cut the scene out. But I guess in Home Alone 2 they left it in."
Damon shared the interesting tidbit after being asked if he ever met Trump, which he said he has not.

If you think the music of Kenny Loggins, Hall & Oates and Michael McDonald is corny and mediocre as all get out, then stop reading this article immediately. In fact, don’t be anywhere near Lincoln Theatre on Thursday. That’s the night a group of musicians from Atlanta will come to town and do their best covers from most of those artists’ songbooks.
If you’re still reading this, then let us tell you about the Yacht Rock Revue.
Taking their name from “Yacht Rock,” the Internet comedy series that fictionalized the lives of these lite-FM stars and others, the seven-piece outfit goes from town to town, serving cover versions of many soft-rock, adult-contemporary hits of the ‘70s and ‘80s. “We didn’t set out to do this,” assures lead singer Nicholas Niespodziani. “This wasn’t our goal. We just kind of followed it to where it is now.”
According to Niespodziani, he and his future bandmates were doing a night of music called “ ‘70s AM Gold” at a club four years ago. The audience was feeling it. The band was feeling it. And, now, they go around looking to see if others will feel it. “At a certain point – I guess, 3 1/2 years ago – we were like, ‘Hey, this could actually be our day job. We should put a little more effort behind it,’ ” he says.
Yacht Rock Revue has put a little more effort into performing, to the point where they’ve built a small live-music industry in Atlanta. Under the parent-company name PleaseRock, the Revue has rounded up other cover bands, DJs and performers who are always available for parties, weddings and other functions. They’ve also assembled an annual Yacht Rock revival concert, which will happen next month in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. The show will feature the Revue backing up such soft-rock performers of the era as Robbie Dupree, Peter Beckett of Player and Larry Hoppen of Orleans.
“It’s definitely not a big goof,” says Niespodziani. “I think, you know, we take our jobs pretty seriously in terms of doing these jobs. I think that’s the difference. Like, there are a lot of other bands that try to do this music, but they either don’t have the musical chops or the discipline to really get after it. Because, you know, Steely Dan and Hall & Oates – it’s not easy.”
Niespodziani insists that many so-called, yacht-rock compositions are not to be scoffed at. “It’s very difficult to pull it off with all the complicated chords, the harmonies and that kind of thing,” he says. “Add to that they’re great songs. Well, some of them are pretty throwaway, like ‘The Pina Colada Song’ and things like that. But a song like ‘Say It Isn’t So’ by Hall & Oates or ‘My Old School’ by Steely Dan – like, these are really well-written songs that happen to also be songs that are good to drink fizzy drinks to, you know.”
Entertainment’s the thing
At the end of the day, all the band seeks to do is entertain their audience, whether by performing music by other artists or original material they’ve composed. (Their songs “Can’t Wait for Summer” and “Good Thing” are available on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.) “I think what really connects this music to the audience is that the thing all these bands had in common is that they were making ‘good times’ music,” says Niespodziani. “It’s not music to be taken super-seriously. You know, it’s not like Michael McDonald was sitting down writing a philosophical treatise when he was writing his songs. He was making songs that were fun to listen to and they could help you escape from your normal day-to-day thing.”
But even with all the good times they dole out, the men of Yacht Rock Revue are dedicated in reviving the oft-ridiculed, oft-misunderstood genre that is soft rock. “The thing about the concept is we didn’t take it seriously at first,” he says. “But we always took the music seriously. That’s kind of our mantra: to take music seriously, but not take ourselves too seriously.”

This is my second box so I wanted to share the shades I tried out.
Like my first box my 3 nail polishes were all by China Glaze though Coloristiq do stock other brands such as OPI, Essie and Morgan Taylor.
The first shade to catch my eye was 'One Track Mind'. It's a beautiful blue with an excellent shine to it. With 2 coats it's almost navy but it's got a really vibrant cobalt blue tone that really shines through.
The next shade is 'Innocence' - A pale pink that's very sheer and could even be used for a french manicure with one coat. I built up enough colour by 3 coats which made it almost opaque and a lovely feminine pink shade.
The last shade is 'What Are you A-Frieght of?'. It's a dark brown/plum shade which is extremely glossy. I think I would have preferred this one a couple of months ago as it's a bit dark for my liking now. It is very easy to wear as it only needs one coat so a little goes a long way.
I'm feeling like Spring is on it's way -even if the weather doesn't say so! So I'd like to try some brighter shades next time
Have you tried Coloristiq?
