Who doesn’t love a homemade gift with all the love and affection in the world? Homemade gifts have succeeded in maintaining a more prestigious and caring image since ages. Listed in this article are the 7 amazing, eye catching and heart-warming homemade gift ideas that you may try for birthdays, Christmas or virtually any other occasion.
It’s one of the easiest gifts to make and present to your loved ones. Place the pretzels in a box that is with wax tissue paper.
Take a container safe for microwaving, lined with waxes paper and place the milk chocolate in it. Heat it for a minute or two on ‘HIGH’ mode until the chocolate melts. Occasional stirring will help smooth the chocolate chunks.
Side by side, place the desired toppings on a different waxed papers or plates. Hold a pretzel rod and dip it in the melted milk chocolate. Tip the container to at least get the chocolate coating on half of the rod.
Let the extra chocolate drip off back into the container. Sprinkle the desired topping right away over the coated pretzel. Place these topped pretzel rod in a shallow bowl or some pie plate, allowing the uncoated area to lean over the edge.
Do the same with other pretzel rods and avoid placing them closely to each other in the shallow bowl. 20 minutes will be sufficient to set the top coat. Store the pretzels in air tight container at the temperature of room.
Here is nutrition chart that can give you an overview about what each serving contains.
Using the painter’s tapeto make a reindeer antler on the natural fiber mat.
In a good ventilated area, give 1-3 even coats of enamel based spray paint on the area of that mat that’s left exposed. Spray paint the mat from a distance of 8-10 inches.
Once the spray paint dries off, peel off the painter’s tape carefully. Viola! Say hello to the DIY doormat.
Trace the slipper template with a chalk pencil onto the felt. Template may be reduced or enlarged according to the sole worn by the person. Cut the slipper and the T-shaped slit.
Lengthwise, fold the felt into half and carefully stitch the open side and around the toe. The shorter heel edge must be left open.
Close the heel and sew it from the top all the down. Leave an inch or 2 open while making a shoe of smaller size and an inch for shoe of larger size. Cut the felt to obtain a flap at the shoe’s heel, leaving a smaller flap sticking out.
Tuck in the tag carefully and stitch it shut. Flip the slipper inside out.Use a pair of scissors to round the margins of corners, then fold it up and stitch it to the slipper’s exterior. By folding the cuff around the ankle, stitch its edges to the slipper.
Carry on the same steps for the other slipper, but don’t forget to flip the felt as the T-shaped slit will now be in the opposite direction.
Features: This is one magic product that’s easy and quick to prepare. It will keep your hands from drying during cold season.
Add sugar in a big bowl. Take a separate container safe for microwaving and add ¼ cup coconut oil allowing it to heat for like 30 seconds, by which time it will melt. Pour this melted oil on the sugar placed in the bowl and mix well.
Grate the rind of 1 lemon. Cut this peeled lemon into half and juice it with an appropriate juicer. Make sure to remove all the seeds. Add this juice along with the zest into the mixture of oil and sugar, then mix again.
If the desired consistency is not achieved, add ½ cup more of sugar.
Print the cell phone case pattern and lay it on top of the leather. Use the stitching owl to make holes according to the printed pattern.
Cut the pattern, then stitch the leather in and out in the holes you made, creating a dashed line.Similarly stitch the unstitched areas. Overlap at least 3 stitches to make it firm.
Fold the right and left triangular flaps and sew them together. Be sure to align 4 of the poked holes.Use e6000 glue to keep the bottom flap at its place and hold it firmly to let the glue set in.
Take a card stock and trace your kid’s hand. Cut it out.
Use a chalk pencil to trace the coasters on the first fabric. The number is up to you.
Cut the fabric in rectangular shape containing what you traced, followed by cutting the interfacing and second fabric to fit the size.
Fuse the interfacing between the first and second fabric using a hot iron. Now cut what you traced with scissors.
Place the T-shirt on a flat surface. Cover the exposed area around it using some newspaper. Insert a cardboard inside the T-shirt to keep the paint from leaking to the other side of the shirt.
Add some fabric paint to the styrofoam plate, spreading it evenly around the whole plate. Take a step on the plate with the paint covering your entire foot and then step on the shirt.
After the fabric paint dries, you may use a black fabric paint to write cool things on the shirt such as ‘’my kids walk all over me’’.

This morning was a cold one: about 12 degrees at race time (9am) and with a pretty heavy snow falling. Walking from the Roosevelt Red Line towards Soldier Field I was really happy that I registered for the 5K and not the 10K for once. Usually, I can't help myself and just register for the longest distance available. But even though I'm sure the 10K runners appreciated the snowy views all the way down the Lakeshore Trail to 41st street, I was more than happy to not be among their ranks and to be able to turn left just north of 31st street and start heading back towards the United Club inside Soldier Field. You can check out more about the race itself in my Newcity review.
With the wind blowing against me in both directions (or seeming to) I felt like I was running a lot harder than I really was the entire time.
I ended up with a 22:55, which was good enough for 16th overall and 3rd in my age group (another reason to run the shorter distance - less competition!). And the after-party inside the United Club (which I've never been in before) was a pretty good race highlight. Walking up the stairs after finishing, runners walked through a kind of gauntlet of drink offerings, with 16oz Miller Lites on the right and Hot Chocolate on the left. With only one drink ticket per runner this meant I was forced to make a decision on the fly... so I had to go with the Miller Lite. As the volunteer opened it and I started drinking all the volunteers from both sides started clapping, rewarding me for my poor life choices. But I appreciated them even more in that moment. The moral of the story is: when presented with a post-race choice: always go with the beer.
Sounds like a fun race especially with the party in the United Club (I was there for the first time in Nov. and LOVED it). But um, how did I completely miss the snowfall this morning? As I'm reading this, I'm even more thankful I decided to run inside. Congrats on placing!!
Be very thankful you didn't run the 10K. I did today and after the 5K turnaround the path was partially snowcovered until we got back to the 5K turnaround point. It was fun, but it sure made it challenging. I kept thinking to myself, is it worth to run in the slush to pass someone or just stay behind. Congrats on placing! It was my first 10K ever today and I was 3 minutes faster than my goal so I was pleased too!
Always tough to pass up beer... awesome run!

Up next on my blog tour today is a review of the Amaranthine Chronicles box set and an exclusive excerpt from Betrayed By Blood. Thanks to Lynn for taking part in the blog tour today.
One thing about getting a book set that is also a series is you have to read the series in order. And this is not one that you will want to skip around on – it would almost be like cheating. Kaylan Avilion and her crew are spying on others. Elijah has had a life-changing event. The group is trying to find an answer to the mystery surrounding their world. This story is about good versus evil with a paranormal/fantasy twist. Got to love a story that’s great at mixing action, adventure, and suspense.
Our author has created an interesting world where people with special abilities is the norm and more acceptable than they would be in our world. This series flows, very nicely, from one story to the next. There’s no feeling of anything missing as you pick up the next part of the adventure. It shows that not every family is loving – sometimes jealousy rears its ugly head. But power can be a very strong aphrodisiac. There is romance here but it takes a backseat to the action, thrill and just making sure that the bad guys get their just desserts. I almost didn’t want to see this series end because I wanted to continue on the next escapade this group may have. But I don’t get any indication that the ending was final. Will we see Kaylan and Elijah again?
Elijah bounded along the tunnel, through the metal door, water splashing against him as he passed through the river. Moving along the tunnels he now called home, he ran until he reached the outer door.
He took a deep breath, feeling flesh and bone move with agonising pain as he shifted back into human form. He knelt down and splashed his face with water from the underground stream. Elijah braced himself against the wall, breathing hard. Kaylan. She was here. He couldn’t believe it.
He turned to see Geth. Geth’s dark skin gleamed under the luminescent light. His hair was braided and a ring glittered on his nose. “What happened?” his friend asked as he appeared in the makeshift doorway to Elijah’s cave, holding out a clean pair of jeans and a black shirt.
Elijah grabbed the clothes and slipped them on. “Kaylan’s back,” was all he said.
“She hit me with a fireball. I shifted right in front of her,” he explained. Hell, it wasn’t like he had control over it.
“Nothing. I ran away after telling her to stop looking for me.” He buttoned up the shirt, ignoring the ache in his muscles from changing twice in one night.
He flinched and looked down at his hands, half expecting to see them covered in blood.
Elijah breathed a sigh of relief. One of his greatest fears was losing control again and having no memory of what he might have done. “Where is it?” he asked.
Geth led him down the tunnel until it opened up into a larger cavern. Tendrils of light danced around the glistening grey rock walls. Elijah had no idea where the magical lights came from, since they were several metres underground, but he always found this place peaceful.
The body of a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties lay off to one side. His skin looked pale and waxy underneath the shock of red hair.
Check back soon to see what’s up next on the blog tour!

Many Americans may be suffering from unrecognized deficiencies of vitamin D. Most people in the U.S. get vitamin D from food and sun exposure but it is well below the recommended intake, especially during winter.
Vitamin D deficient diets are associated with lactose intolerance and strict vegetarianism.
Infants fed only breast milk receive insufficient amounts of vitamin D unless they also are given appropriate levels of vitamin D supplementation.
Americans age 50 and older are believed to be at increased risk of developing vitamin D deficiency. As people age, skin cannot synthesize vitamin D as efficiently.
By promoting calcium absorption, vitamin D helps to form and maintain strong bones. A deficiency contributes to osteoporosis.
Research suggests that vitamin D may help maintain a healthy immune system. It also regulates cell growth and differentiation.
Leg weakness is a common symptom of vitamin D deficiency. According to a report in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, vitamin D supplemented women had half as many falls.
The Harvard School of Public Health presented evidence that vitamin D appears to have a protective effect against multiple sclerosis (MS).
According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, vitamin D may be important for preventing tooth loss. The rate of loss in tooth-gum attachment was 25 percent higher among participants with the least vitamin D.
According to research in the Journal of Nutrition, vitamin D signals colon, breast and prostate cells to: differentiate into mature forms, stop growth, and succumb to programmed cell death.
In studies involving children and adults with unexplained muscle and bone pain, almost all were found to be vitamin D deficient.
Recommended: Birth-50 years 200 IU; 51-70 years 400 IU; 71+ years 600 IU.
A multivitamin typically has 400 IU.
Three ounces of cooked salmon has 425 IU.
A glass of fortified milk or orange juice has 100 IU.
Three ounces of tuna (canned in oil) has 200 IU.
Breakfast cereals may be fortified often at a level of 10-15 percent of the daily value.
High caffeine intake may inhibit vitamin D receptors, decreasing bone mineral density.

Leon Russell, The Master of Space and Time, is making a comeback. Last year’s album, The Union, with Elton John, produced by T Bone Burnett (with an accompanying film directed by Cameron Crowe), started the ball rolling and next a set of fifty dates with Bob Dylan should put Russell back in the front of peoples’ minds. For those of us who remember him from the old days, this is a welcome return. Leon has a way about him, a piano sound that is instantly recognizable and a voice ... well, more about that later. First, Sound Academy.
I’ve never been to the Sound Academy night club in Toronto before but driving in from Hamilton my wife and I were struck by a number of things. It’s simple to get to, off the Gardiner Expressway, onto Lakeshore, down Cherry Street, across the bridge and to the end of Polson Pier. It is a beautiful setting. On this clear evening, with the sun sparkling on the water, sailboats by the dozens on the lake, planes coming in for a landing at the Toronto Island airport, the ambiance couldn't be better. We sat on the deck with a club soda, soaking in this ambiance, when all of a sudden it hit us. “What is that smell?” There’s a transfer station right across the way, so the smell of garbage hangs over the place. Too bad, everything else about the venue is nearly perfect.
Once inside, seating is at a premium, but bars are readily available. There were four actually, three inside, and one outside on that deck, and the crowd this evening made ample use of them. The doors opened at 8pm on the dot, and by 8:10 all the tables were occupied, so we ended up sitting on a couch at the back of the room. (I’m getting a bit old for standing all night). Although, for this show, everybody was in the same age bracket! We spent 50 minutes watching the crowd, and strangely, at least five would-be Leon Russells were in attendance. The long grey hair, flowing into long grey beards, on men of a variety of heights and weight classes made it seem like a casting call for a new Todd Haynes film. This was especially funny as a couple of them bought T-shirts at the merch counter, and appeared to be wearing their own image on their chest!
At 9:00 the stage announcer presented the Paul James Band. James has been a fixture in Canadian clubs for many years, he told us about backing Bo Diddley in the early 70s, but while his guitar playing has grown, his stage presence hasn’t. He claimed to have always wanted to be “an entertainer” but his one trick (spinning like a top while playing the guitar behind his back) was fun the first time, by the end of his set we were happy to see this pony put back in the corral. Maybe if he’d cut his set by two songs it would’ve helped.
It was well after 10pm when the curtains opened and a blue light outlined two guitarists on the left side of the stage. Then a drummer took his spot, and a bass player, and finally a tall Oklahoman wearing a white suit and a 15 gallon cowboy hat. He sat behind a keyboard array and began to play. Beginning with “Delta Lady” and blending through “Roll In My Sweet Baby’s Arms” into “Stranger in a Strange Land” Leon Russell took control. The crowd had started to grow as some younger folks drifted in during James’ set and now the room was heaving with people. We at the back had to stand to see, although there is a 40” flatscreen TV with closed circuit images for convenience.
After the opening medley, Leon removed his white jacket to play the rest of the night in shirtsleeves. His shock of white hair/beard under the sizable white hat made him iconic, sunglasses covering his eyes, he never seemed to move, sitting bolt upright and hitting the piano keys with a massive attack. The sound was muddy. Muddy? I wandered through the hall to make sure it wasn’t just our location. But when he sang, the sound had a harshness, too much top end. When he didn’t sing, the sound was excellent. You could hear every part of the band. And what a band they are. Jackie Wessel on bass and Brandon Holder on drums are a rhythm section to behold. They kept the music rooted even as the volume wanted to blow it away. Guitarist Chris Simmons showed both sensitivity and style in his solos, and Beau Charon was masterful on keyboards, mandolin and rhythm guitar, he even matched Simmons during a twin lead solo later in the night. It was Russell’s piano, though that set the tone for every song.
The band left the stage except for Leon and Simmons. Russell introduced his guitarist who “play[ed] a couple of blues numbers.” This was fairly authentic acoustic blues, but played on an electric guitar, a little Robert Johnson for the people. As Simmons switched guitars between songs, Leon tinkled the ivories for some transitional music. Then the band was back for “A Song for You,” “Tightrope” and his famous “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” medley (memorably performed at George Harrison's Concert for Bangla Desh), only “Youngblood” has now been replaced with “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.” Either way it works.
Leon’s between song patter was a surprise, he came across as humble and honest, telling stories of playing in nightclubs in Oklahoma Brandon Holder on drums are a rhythm section to behold. They kept the music rooted even as the volume wanted to blat the age of 14, watching Bob Dylan write songs on the fly in the studio, and playing as a session man with the Wrecking Crew back in the day.
Master of Space and Time? Well, the evening flew by and apart from the minor annoyance of limited seating, and the questionable vocal mix, I’d have to say that Leon Russell’s mastery of his instrument, his songs and band, he took us to a very special space. Great show. His tour continues into the US starting on July 24 with a concert in New Braunfels, Texas (he performs with Bob Dylan).

I know this regression is very recent, because I remember playing EWJ 2 with the Vulkan backend not too long ago, right after XFB was implemented in fact. It was when XFB was just implemented in Vulkan and Vulkan still had vsync problems (unable to enable vsync even when it's checked). What's weird is OpenGL has no problem whatsoever with booting this game up, while all the other backends just crash with a black screen. Can someone take a look at what's special about this VC title and only OGL is capable of running it now (every backend used to play this title no problem)?
Can you say what version broke it? I know Genesis VC titles are very touchy when it comes to XFB emulation, so a cleanup could have broken it.
Edit: Yup, Genesis VC games are broken. Good catch.
No they're not all broken. For example, I can play EWJ 1 VC wiith every backend. It's only EWJ 2 that requires OGL to work.
Yeah, there are small number of MegaDrive VC games that don't use strided XFB copies.
Is this going to be fixed soon? I mean, it used to work on every backend not too long ago.
Things like this are why stable exists.
There's been no bisect done on it and few developers actually have a sizable number of VC games so there's no ETA. If you did a bisect it'd make it a lot easier to figure out what's wrong.
I know it's after vulkan got XFB implemented and before/or when vsync was fixed in vulkan. So it's very recent.
Okay; that's good enough for me to work with, I'll take it from here.

The MOD() function, when applied to an array, returns the square-root of the sum of the squares of the elements of the array (the so-called modulus). It may occasionally be useful to discover the modulus of only part of an array, but BBC BASIC doesn't have a built-in function to do that.
where first% and last% define the range of indices (inclusive) over which the modulus should be calculated.
The array a() must be the same type (i.e. have the same suffix character, if any) as the array whose modulus is being calculated.
Note that during execution of the function the array contents are temporarily changed, so don't use this method if your program has a timer interrupt in which the array is accessed.

Have you seen Lion? I actually hadn’t heard about the film until I saw the DVD on the “new” rack at the library. I should have heard about it, though. It didn’t win any Oscars, but it did get nominated this year in six categories, including best picture (obviously, I didn’t watch the Academy Awards).
What a powerful movie. It’s worth watching for anyone, but it is particularly relevant for those who have adopted or are contemplating adopting—especially cross-culturally—for parents with special-needs children, or for adopted children themselves.
Lion is based on the true story of Saroo, a five-year-old boy in India who is separated from his family after boarding an empty train, which takes him hundreds of miles from his home. He spends some time on the streets, is taken in by an orphanage, and ends up adopted by a couple in Australia. After growing up as their son, he begins to recall scenes from his previous life and longs to reconnect with his birth family. But “finding his way back home” is a monumental task.
The film is heartbreaking and uplifting, and not in a simple arc that leads directly from the the first to the second.
In Lion, adult Saroo is played by Dev Patel, who was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor. He is an impressive actor, but Sunny Pawar, who plays young Saroo. . . . he really tugs at your heart. You can get a glimpse of him in the trailer below. Listen to him call for his brother Guddu. Oh boy.
If you plan to watch Lion, you might want to hold off on the second and third videos. They tell most of Saroo’s story, so they’re full of spoilers. One is a Google Earth ad highlighting how Saroo used their product in his search. The second is from 60 Minutes.
The film for me, takes a lot of people deep, deep to—you know—to a place they don’t go to a lot or choose not to go to—don’t want to go to, don’t want to know about, think badly of.
You know some of the stories I’ve had told . . . they’ve just astounded me, you know, the family stories, the things that people have felt they could say after seeing the film, admitting to troubles in their family, in their childhood. So I think it’s a worthwhile thing for people to see.
If you’d like to give towards helping the 11-million children living on the streets in India, watch the video below for information on the #LionHeart campaign.
Lion had a lot going for it but I found some of the execution kept it from being a great movie. I’m so glad though that you mention Saroo’s brother. I wish they’d explored that subplot more because as you say it’s a difficult but important one. (I wrote a far more superficial post than yours about the film back when it was in cinemas. By superficial I mean I focused on Dev Patel’s hair and accent).
Thanks for your comment. There are so many complex stories in Lion: Saroo’s, Mantosh’s, the Brierley’s, and Saroo’s family in India. I was glad to find the interview about Mantosh. His story may be the most complicated of them all—and the most difficult to tell.
Thanks, Craig for pointing me towards another good film to watch. Though, I’ll probably read the book before I get the chance to see the movie. I’m starting to do a little research into TCKs that were adopted, so if you come across anything please let me know. Thanks!
I’ll certainly do that. And I look forward to seeing what you put together. That’s another complex topic.

On March 19, the trustee of the dead cryptocurrency exchange Mt Gox stated that they became one step closer to refunding the platform's creditors citing consideration of the rehabilitation requests.
Nobuaki Kobayashi appointed as the trustee of the exchange stated in the announcement this Tuesday that he considered all the requests filed by the creditors and made a determination on them (positive or negative). All the progress was reported to the District Court of Tokyo.
"On March 15, 2019, the Rehabilitation Trustee approved or disapproved rehabilitation claims regarding MTGOX Bitcoin exchange users’ rights to make claims against MTGOX for a return of cryptocurrency and/or cash..."
According to the announcement, Kobayashi will inform creditors about his decision on their civil rehabilitation requests by different means in the near term. Specifically, information for the online applications will be available at the Mt Gox online system, while the rest of victims will receive an email notification.
Notably, the platform's clients that have not filed for civil rehabilitation still can submit the request.
For reference, the exchange was hacked and lost 850,000 BTC which lead to a business liquidation in April 2014 with about 24,000 creditors falling into victims. Later, the platform got greenlight from District Сourt of Tokyo to launch the civil rehabilitation process, which enabled its clients to file requests for refunding in cryptos. The expected total repayment will exceed 141,000 BTC and 142,000 BCH.
However, some concerns arise around the issue of how creditors may spend the money. It should be mentioned that Nobuaki Kobayashi was accused of summoning bitcoin slump in early 2018. At the same time, he claimed that time the sale of cryptos was performed under the methods that prevent any impact on the spot prices. The trustee reportedly liquidated about BTC and BCH for about JPY 26 billion.
There are reports that a crypto community member received email notification about positive determination on the request. However, other players state they face rejection without clear reasons.
Besides, it was reported earlier that former CEO of Mt Gox Mark Karpeles was found guilty of book records falsification and faced a sentence of 2.5 years. At the same time, the District Court of Tokyo held that Karpeles would not be put in prison in case of positive records within the next 4 years.
The major producer of crypto mining producer – Bitmain – rumoured to ramp up capacities in the south-western provinces of China striving to make use of cheap power during the summer period. The sources in the know stated that the company expressed intentions to place about 200,000 mining capacities in the regions with excessive hydro resources. These regions reduce electricity tariffs for summer.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has unveiled received comments regarding the recent proposal to change rules for the VanEck/SolidX bitcoin-ETF. The regulator received seven comments over that period, with six of them being firmly negative regarding the launch of the ETF. The most detailed comment was submitted by Sam Ahn, in which bitcoin was said to lack so-called intrinsic value.

The implication of #2 is that the 2nd call to the factory with a particular parameter value will return the same component instance within a lifetime scope.
I have been able to achieve this by writing some code which acts as a "name registry" within the lifetime scope, keeping a dictionary of names and component instances which have been created. This works, but I suspect there might be a way to do this using some autofac registration magic, but I haven't been to crack it yet. Any ideas?

Some of these specs are actually quite surprising. Like the MicroSD card slot on the One Max. We've seen many of their previous devices without a microSD card slot. Even though there is a 64GB version of the One Max, it is still nice to have a microSD card slot even if it's not needed. I haven't used a microSD card on my phone in a few years now.
The HTC One Max is supposed to look like the HTC One, hence the name. With a 5.9-inch display and the Boomsound speakers on the front, that's going to make it a pretty big device. Especially when you add on the capacitive buttons and logos on the front. We've already seen the Verizon One Max with a Verizon logo on the front. Hopefully the HTC One Max does come to other carriers and isn't just a Verizon exclusive. As HTC really needs to put out another phone. The HTC One was great and all, but you can't rely on just one phone for an entire year, that's why you're losing money.
How many of you are excited for the HTC One Max? I know I'm definitely excited to see this device as I've loved the HTC One and the One Mini. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

I can't believe MW Bill isn't even a Sciot.
Speaking as a younger Mason who is heavily involved in several groups as well as Grand Lodge committees, you've nailed it with this one. Thank you! When will we get back to the substance behind the titles, and not just collect them like they're Pokemon?
so well describe, we have the same here VERMONT , Masons collecting titles like baseball cards thinking it makes them better Mason, they should learn the first degree we mention to the new one... TITLES AND HONORS CAN NEVER SERVE YOU AS A PASSPORT TO THE GRAND LODGE ABOVE.
Well, I have accumulated several titles but this is just a by product of my participation in numerous areas of Masonry. I do the jobs in Masonry that I do because I love doing so. The titles just come along naturally.
You forgot "Grand Supreme Ruler of the Order of the Secret Monitor (Brotherhood of David and Jonathan)" I'm certain I can see the jewel on his chest, somewhere.
Reminds me kind of Kurt Vonnegut's first novel, "Player Piano," in which a visiting sheik from some made-up Mideast nation and his aide were caught in the middle of a revolution here in the U.S., and were mistaken for Shriners. The rebels were luddites (haters of technology) and were loosely organized into units according to their fraternal affiliations, in the 1950s, as this was a "high point" of fraternal organization membership. It was an absurdist side plot in the story. The Sheik could not comprehend the differences between workers and slaves.
Reminds me of the rankes of TRES in Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum.
Ha! We can all relate to this one! ... But there is one title the author did not include: Brother.
This man has not eaten a meal at home in... I'm gonna wager DECADES!!
You know what? He's an active Brother. Not sure what the fuss is.
I frequently tell people, after listing all the letters before and after my name, that all this and 2.74 will not get me on the subway.
Titles are fine, and most of them are well earned.
But on Title can replace doing what Masons are meant to do. Where is the Title for help a single fallen Brother, His Widow, or Orphans?
For folks who want to join everything in the lodge and shrine, I say, I hope you are not married. Because your wife and children will suffer. In our training, we are told to never harm home. Well, if you are at the lodge/shrine 5 nights a week, you ARE harming home.
2 nights a week should be limit for married fathers. Anything more than that savagery.
I'm wondering if anyone has told MWB Kaylor about this. He might welcome a couple weeks off from traveling.

A tiny, wearable acoustic sensor developed by researchers can be used to monitor heart health and recognize spoken words.
A soft acoustic sensor that someone can wear like a sticker on their skin can monitor their heartbeat and recognize spoken words, researchers say. Potential applications for the device include diagnosing medical conditions, and letting humans steer robots and play computer games without a handheld device, scientists add.
Previous sensors that could detect acoustic vibrations through the skin "were basically stethoscopes," says study lead author Howard Yu Hao Liu, a materials scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They tended to be large and made of rigid materials, which made them difficult to wear and stifled acoustic signals.
In contrast, the new device uses miniaturized, low-power commercial MEMS accelerometers encased in sticky, elastic silicone rubber. The researchers say these accelerometers are tuned to vibration frequencies—ranging from 0.5 to 550 hertz—that are typical of sounds emitted by the body’s vital organs. Stretchable copper wires help connect these accelerometers with amplifiers, resistors, and capacitors.
The scientists detailed their findings online in the 16 November edition of the journal Science Advances.
The new device, which resembles a small Band-Aid, is only 20 millimeters thick, weighs just 213.6 milligrams, and is flexible and stretchable enough to wear on curvy parts of the body such as the neck, the researchers say. The silicone rubber allows for evaporation of human sweat, they add.
In experiments, the device could continuously gather data on several different kinds of acoustic signals at the same time—among them, the opening and closing of heart valves, blood pulsing through the carotid artery in the neck, vibrations of the vocal cords, and even movements in the gastrointestinal tract.
In tests of elderly volunteers at Camp Lowell Cardiology, a private medical clinic in Tucson, Arizona, the device showed that it could detect heart murmurs. Experiments with a commercial ventricular assist device, which helps a heart pump blood, also revealed that the sensors could detect potentially lethal blood clots.
"When put on the human throat, it can be used to control robots or play video games, to serve as a human-machine interface to send commands to a computer," Liu says. For instance, a volunteer was able to control a Pac-Man game by saying "up," "down," "left," and "right." The word recognition accuracy was 90 percent. The sensor could also help people with speech disorders, soldiers in battlefields, and first responders in disaster sites, among others, the researchers say.
The new device also includes electrodes that can record electrical signals from the body. These electrodes can help the sensor monitor how the heart and pacemakers are performing, says study co-senior author Jae-Woong Jeong, an electrical engineer at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
While the sensor currently relies on wires to transmit data, "to make it more practical for use in the real world, we want to make it fully wireless," Jeong says. Future research can also increase the range of vibration frequencies the device can pick up to 2,000 hertz, enabling it to detect the full range of human speech vibrations and act as a microphone, Jeong says.

Hay fever is also known as allergic rhinitis is the body’s allergic response to allergens, like pollen, dust particles, animal hair and others. Allergic hay fever is an inflammatory condition, expressed by the body’s sensitive immune system as a hypersensitivity reaction. It is one of the most common allergic conditions in India.
Seasonal, wherein the symptoms are often expressed during spring, summer.
Perennial allergic rhinitis, which is generally being experienced throughout the year.
It is quite possible that perennial allergic rhinitis may get worse during specified seasons and can make daily living miserable. People with sensitive immune system are more prone to having allergic rhinitis. Furthermore, people with preexisting allergies or asthma and genetic heredity may also face with hay fever.
Specified blood, as well as skin tests, can be suggested to diagnose hay fever. Prescribed medications can include steroidal medicines, anti-inflammatory medicines, eye drops, nasal corticosteroids etc. Alternatively, the doctor may also prescribe immunotherapy, acupuncture and/or other alternative therapies.

Fullwood misses candidate qualifying deadline | Meenan P.A.
The weeklong qualifying period for Florida candidates in this year’s races ended with a surprise when Rep. Reggie Fullwood, D-Jacksonville, missed the deadline due to a notary public’s error.
State candidates were required to qualify by noon Friday for the 2014 races, with the primaries scheduled for Aug. 26 and the general election set for Nov. 4.
Fullwood was running unopposed in House District 13, which means a new special qualifying period for the Duval County seat will be set by the state Division of Elections.
Actually, Fullwood said, two notaries made errors with his paperwork. He filed most of his documents on Thursday, including a check for his qualifying fee of $1,781.82. But the first notary had made an error on his financial disclosure form.
Fullwood said the Florida Democratic Party arranged for a second notary to redo the form and take it to the Division of Elections office, but she failed to check a required box at the bottom. By the time Fullwood learned of the error, he was back in Jacksonville with ten minutes to go before the deadline.
Meanwhile, the best-known gubernatorial candidates qualified early, including Republican Gov. Rick Scott, former Gov. Charlie Crist and former Senate Minority Leader Nan Rich, who will face Crist in the Democratic primary.
Also qualifying for the governor’s race were Libertarian candidate Adrian Wyllie of Palm Harbor and two Republican challengers for Scott: Yinka Abosede Adeshina of Tallahassee and Elizabeth Cuevas-Neunder of Sarasota — although questionable information about Adeshina?s contributions have drawn scrutiny from media organizations.

Tarka Indian Kitchen felt like a fast casual chain which surprised me when I checked it out because there is only one location. It’s owned by the Clay Pit people and is a fast-casual version of that restaurant with cozy chairs and an appealing atmosphere but without the special dining experience feel.
After enjoying a fantastic tasting meal in a comfortable and relaxed environment, I found myself not minding the idea at all of finding a Tarka in mini-malls across the land.
I was very excited to learn that Snack Bar on South Congress is officially open after months of construction, waiting, and two soft openings — one during SXSW in March and one during Austin City Limits Music Festival in early October.
I called and was told that they will be open for the next week during breakfast, lunch, and for afternoon snacktime — closing at 4 p.m. I believe their hours will stretch much later once they have a chance to hire more staff and get in the groove.
If you work downtown like me, you might have the option once in a while to order in lunch for the office. I love those days since budget and distance can be less of an encumbrance than it would be if I was just going out to grab something quick and cheap.

German Lutheran Pietism, as represented by Philipp J. Spener and August H. Francke’s institutions at Halle, is one noteworthy outworking of the ‘spiritual’ revival during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The foremost proponent of Halle Pietism in England was Anthony William Boehm (1673–1722), whose literary activity became significant in English religious life. This chapter evaluates the ‘evangelical’ nature of Boehm’s Pietist voice in the ‘tunnel period’ between the Restoration and the Evangelical Revival. Using the lens of David Bebbington’s quadrilateral—conversionism, activism, biblicism, and crucicentrism—the article explore the similarities and dissimilarities between Pietism and evangelicalism at the nexus of Boehm’s publications.
Originally published as chapter three in Heart Religion: Evangelical Piety in England & Ireland, 1690–1850 by John Coffey, Print publication date: 2016. Print ISBN-13: 9780198724155.

Alexander Historical Auctions, located in Maryland, has a unique lot available on its website right now: Adolf Hitler’s personal bunker phone. The chipped, red, rotary handset was taken right from the German leader’s bunker following the capture of Berlin in 1945 and is expected to fetch as much as $300,000 from a specialist collector.
While most people might shy away from items owned by history’s most notorious war criminal, some like an off-beat, creepy vibe with their collectibles. And there’s no denying that this is an important piece of history.
The story of how the phone ended up on the auction block is an interesting bit of history in itself, though. Following the Allied occupation of Berlin, Brigadier Sir Ralph Rayner entered the city and was given a tour by the Soviets. Purportedly, they offered him Eva Braun’s phone as a souvenir, but eventually offered him this one instead, when he claimed his favorite color was red.
That phone went home with him, and Rayner continued as a British politician after the war. When he eventually died in 1977, the phone was passed on to his son, Ranulf, who is now auctioning off the one-of-a-kind artifact because the insurance costs for it have become too great. He hopes that a museum will purchase it and preserve it for posterity.
In his interview video, Ranulf explains that Hitler used the phone as a portable device, taking it everywhere with him. It was used not only in the bunker, but in trains and cars and in his field headquarters. As the auction listing points out, an argument could be made that this phone is one of the most macabre historical pieces in the world, having borne the wishes of a man who ordered the extermination of millions.
To confirm the device’s authenticity, the auctioneers have collated reports from Hitler’s own personal telephonist, as well as historical images of Brigadier Rayner and the handset in newspapers and private collections.
Along with the handset itself, the lot comes with the original case that Sir Rayner used to bring the phone back from Germany, along with some of its wartime tags and stickers.

If you haven’t heard already, the Fashion Merchandising and Design Society is holding their annual fashion show on April 12th and are actively looking for models.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “me? walk in front of hundreds of people? no way!” Well, honestly, that was me last year. I heard auditions were approaching and I thought “no way am I doing that,” but with a little persuasion from a friend, I auditioned, and had a blast.
I had the fortunate opportunity to talk to this years model coordinator, Lydia Wagoner, about what it was like her first time and what you can expect at auditions this year.
Me: What was it like your first time auditioning to model in a fashion show?
Lydia: My first audition started out a little rocky because I didn’t even know how to walk but I wasn’t the only one; that really helped me to relax more and walk a bit more confidently.
Me: Is there any further advice you’d like to share to those considering auditioning?
Lydia: Most people don’t know how to walk the first time and that’s okay! We are all there to learn from each other. Also, don’t be afraid to put your own spin on the walk; we love to see creativity!
It’s also important to be relaxed and be yourself! Don’t try too hard.
Models will be given numbers, get their head shots taken, and of course, be asked to walk.

2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
To celebrate ICE commissioned us to devise and create an animated 3D crystal model of their logo bringing the starburst logo to life in three dimensions. Made of crystal, stone and metal we visualised the original shard-based logo in a 3D environment and projected the years photographic content into its glass panes as part of a journey through its architecture. A beautiful device and original way to discover the bicentennial years public engagement work.

Class of 2017 point guard Haeli Howard of Lebanon, Ky., has established herself as a must watch prospect.
Class of 2017 point guard Haeli Howard of Lebanon, Ky., proved that she is one of the premier guards inside the Bluegrass State with her play at the #PSBPreSeason Shootout in April 2015. She also impressed BrandonClayScouting.com Director of Domestic Scouting, Jonathan Hemingway, at the #EBASuper64 in June 2015. Hemingway says that “Howard proved to be one of the smartest basketball players in the gym in the June camp. She displayed that by being able to pick up basketball concepts quickly in drills and then converting that over into production in game play. The high energy guard likes to push the tempo in transition, but is quick to get the ball moving once she sets the table in the half court.
Haeli Howard continues to improve as one of the premier PGs in Kentucky.
'17 G Haeli Howard (KY) will visit Furman this weekend.
’17 G Haeli Howard shined on the EBA stage in ’15. Has a June 4-5 bid.

Lenora Howard is a native Houstonian, born and raised in Spring, TX. One day, early in childhood, Lenora read the works of Shel Silverstein and caught a permanent case of the writer's bug. Lenora spent hours memorizing Silverstein's poems and began creating her own. Poetry has been a constant in her life, though we'll quickly skip over those brooding teenage years. When called upon, Lenora has the ability to merely think and rhymes pop out, and she really should just sit down to write a few children's books. Lord knows they're in there. Most of her poetry these days revolves around contests or topics that really bother her. She is a firm believer in writing about what makes you uncomfortable, because those are the topics that need to be discussed more.
From there, she went to A&M University in Commerce, TX (no, not the REAL A&M, sorry folks) with the intention of becoming a photographic journalist, and then a child psychologist, and then settled into a degree in Elementary Education. However, she soon found that teaching wasn't her thing and that it takes a very special person to become a teacher. So now she works as a legal secretary at a law firm, but her real career is the written word. She has too many projects to tackle at once and is bursting at the seams with ideas.
While her first published book is the first of a young adult/fantasy trilogy, her heart belongs to the dark and creepy. The thrill of the horror novel.
Becoming "mom" has made writing more of a challenge, but it has also inspired her to be MORE.
In her free time (when the wild child is sleeping) she enjoys playing Fallout 4, Skyrim, listening to audiobooks, indulging in her Whovian obsession (aka crying about Rose & 10 some more), riding her bike in nice weather, and loving all things nerdy.
She hopes that one day the world will love her work as much as she does.

Up to two well behaved dogs welcome. No puppies.
This is our second visit this year. This lovely house has every luxury imagined - and only a few minutes walk from the picturesque Loughrigg Tarn. A dog walkers’ paradise. Can’t wait to plan our next visit.
Thanks for your great review of Brunt House!
Planning a third visit ... !
Location still as stunning and house still as fabulous! Already looking forward to our third visit!!
Located in the heart of the English Lake District national park, Brunt House is just two miles from the market town of Ambleside yet also delightfully secluded on the fell-side of Loughrigg and a five-minute stroll from Loughrigg Tarn. Brunt House has a great selection of local pubs and eateries including the 'local' Talbot bar (a 5 minute walk away), Chesters by the River (coffee, cake, salads, pizza – again, 5 minutes walk) and then the wonderful Britannia in Elterwater (half hour walk, 5 minute drive).

Tel Aviv. Not far from the buzzing area of lights, restaurants and cocktail bars of Rothschild street, pebbles and dilapidated buildings open the scene to a delightfully furnished, contemporary and refined hotel, the Shenkin Hotel, a boutique hotel famous for its glamorous, eclectic style and its young and easy chic atmosphere. The structure is entirely managed by locals, young people who have a sunny, friendly and cosmopolitan attitude and are the ideal point to refer to for information on trips, things to do and see in the city and in Israel in general (even unconventional places or experiences more folkloristic), precisely because they are from there. This is also the reason why the rooms are only 30, thus the staff can focus on a few customers, to take care of them and fulfilling the most disparate requests.
The entrance is preceded by a minimal and well-kept garden: some design benches, a suspended hammock chair with soft pillows, a table with a large umbrella to shelter from the sun while waiting for the check-in, the check-out or transportations on the hottest days. All around small minutely modeled hedges. The garden and the elegant hall convey care, cleanliness and familiarity, favoring a relaxed state of mind that immediately makes you feel at ease with the new location. Just beyond the lobby, to the right of the elevator, there is a lovely flowery courtyard with a cafeteria corner available 24 hours a day. Here you can have breakfast, a snack, you can read and work at the lap top thanks to the very powerful wi-fi. You can even rent bicycles for riding around couple of hours. The atmosphere is intimate and homely. Those who prefer a more lounge-like setting with a view from the top can spend leisure moments on the roof top, where a finely furnished terrace opens up to the urban panorama of Tel Aviv offering sun loungers and a shower for those who want to stop and sunbathe. Moreover, the structure has a spa to combine various wellness treatments to the stay and furthermore it is possible to organize guided tours on reservation such as the culinary tour with tasting of typical products at Caramel Market.
The Shenkin hotel rooms are cozy and unexpectedly bright. I had the pleasure of staying in a classic room and I can guarantee that the cleanliness is impeccable, it is certainly not one of those hotels where they do not make the bed or they forget clean the room day by day, absolutley they do and very well! The shades of the plaster and furnishings, yellow, brown, white, perfectly according with the modernism of essential design. Eastern influence gives an ethnic touch.
I recommend the Shenkin Hotel because it is located in a strategic hub served by many bus lines, 10 minutes from the bus station and 15 minutes from the train station and the modern art museum. Around here, trendy cafes and art shops leading up to Binyamin street (another promenade with flea markets and café) are what captures the attention and determines the choice. In the square next to the building near Allenby street, tuesday afternoon and friday at noon you can browse the craft market, often “accompanied” by the performance of street artists. What could you ask more to get in touch with the soul and the folklore of Tel Aviv? A parking ? Here it is: 3 parking spaces in the hotel or at the covered parking. Do not hesitate to contact the reception via telephone or email for any information, they are always ready to answer questions from interested parties.

Respiratory oscillations in alveolar oxygen tension measured in arterial blood.
Formenti F., Bommakanti N., Chen R., Cronin JN., McPeak H., Holopherne-Doran D., Hedenstierna G., Hahn CEW., Larsson A., Farmery AD.
Arterial oxygen partial pressure can increase during inspiration and decrease during expiration in the presence of a variable shunt fraction, such as with cyclical atelectasis, but it is generally presumed to remain constant within a respiratory cycle in the healthy lung. We measured arterial oxygen partial pressure continuously with a fast intra-vascular sensor in the carotid artery of anaesthetized, mechanically ventilated pigs, without lung injury. Here we demonstrate that arterial oxygen partial pressure shows respiratory oscillations in the uninjured pig lung, in the absence of cyclical atelectasis (as determined with dynamic computed tomography), with oscillation amplitudes that exceeded 50 mmHg, depending on the conditions of mechanical ventilation. These arterial oxygen partial pressure respiratory oscillations can be modelled from a single alveolar compartment and a constant oxygen uptake, without the requirement for an increased shunt fraction during expiration. Our results are likely to contribute to the interpretation of arterial oxygen respiratory oscillations observed during mechanical ventilation in the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The striking beauty and diversity of Sutjeska National Park will leave you speechless and wondering why it took you so long to discover this place!
The National Park offers amazing opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and swimming in glacial lakes.
A real treat for all nature lovers will be a visit Perucica Forest - one of the last remaining primeval forests of Europe.Adventure lovers can decide to go for rafting in Tara River Canyon, the deepest river canyon in Europe.
Sutjeska National Park is only 2 hours away from Sarajevo International Airport.
On most days, you will practice two times a day on a soft grassy meadow next to your accommodation.
Marija teaches Hatha yoga, focusing on mindful movement, body awareness and the proper alignment, rather than on achieving certain postures.
The primary aim of these classes is to gain a better understanding of your body and of the underlying principles of yoga and meditation practice.
Apart from asana (posture), we practice pranayama (breathing), as well as meditation in each class.
The classes are organized as workshops, during which we will explore different physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the practice.
To read more about Marija and her teaching style, click here.
You will start each day with a two-hour class - asana practice (yoga postures), organic movement, breath work and guided meditation are all integrated within this class.
Breakfast is served after the class.
* exploring Perucica forest, one of the last primeval forests of Europe.
Evenings will see you back in the center, having another shorter class (1-1.5 hours) before delicious home cooked dinner served around 7.00 PM.
All activities and classes are optional, and everybody is welcome to skip any of them any time they feel like it.
You will be staying in the heart of Sutjeska National Park.
The group will occupy the two houses nestled next to a deciduous forest, very close to Sutjeska River, and only 1.4km away from a small lake.
The two houses feature five fully furnished brand new suites, each with a bathroom, a small kitchen, and a sitting area on the ground floor and four single beds on the upper floor.
One of the houses features a small sauna, which you are welcome to use free of charge.
Two hearty meals a day are included in the price of the retreat - brunch and dinner.
The meals will be served in a cosy traditional Bosnian restaurant only 100m away.
Since we will be exploring the National Park on most afternoons, you can always choose to order a take away lunch from the restaurant or to bring your own snack.
The closest airport to Sutjeska National Park is Sarajevo International Airport - around 2 hours drive.
You can join our organized transportation from Sarajevo on the morning of July 27th. The details of the transportation will be communicated once we know how many people are interested in joining the ride.
You can also reach the place using a combination of a public bus from Sarajevo to Foča, and a taxi from Foča to the National Park.
If you are on a longer travel around the Balkans, you can easily reach Sutjeska National park also from Montenegro, Croatia, or Serbia.

Iris knows everyone is lying and so makes it her mission to find Miss Froy and the reason behind the disappearance. With the help of fellow passenger Max (Matt Barber) the story unfolds before our eyes.
The stage in the Anthony Hopkins Theatre opens to a busy German train station and the opening scene is very busy. Lots of hustle and bustle and goings on. Here is where I found my main issue. With lots of people talking, loud station sounds and a tannoy, you tend to lose some of the dialogue, whether it be certain actors not quite projecting enough or the background sounds are a little too loud for what is happening on stage, I found these parts a little distracting.
Suddenly, the clever set, designed by Morgan Large, closes in from either side to create a train corridor with two compartments. This is where the distraction disappeared and from then on, the story unfolds, and the action takes place.
Fitzgerald plays Iris perfectly. She is very strong in the role, extremely clearly spoken and carries the play right through from beginning to end with confidence. A complete joy to watch. Paired with the brilliant Barber as Max, the characters seemed the complete opposite but worked extremely well together to figure out this mystery, adding much needed humour throughout what could be quite a dark play.
Mills as Miss Froy played a wonderful role, although missing for a large part of the play, is integral and you see a huge difference in character from beginning to end.
Many other characters helped bring this story to life as other passengers on the train including Maxwell Cauldwell as Dr Hartz, Joe Reisig as the Official, Philip Lowrie as Eric and Elizabeth Payne as Margaret. Each of these characters have their own story and add more drama to this thriller.
Robert Duncan as Charters and Ben Nealdon as Caldicott were a great pair of characters and helped bring a lot of humour to the story where it was needed.
The set was kept simple between scenes, but the fantastic cast brought on and cleared set pieces such as tables and chairs, luggage and props keeping the action flowing and the story moving along nicely. Lighting made a huge impact to the drama of the play and Lighting designer Charlie Morgan Jones has done an incredible job with this play. With much of the show being set in the corridor of a train, it could get quite boring and mundane but with the fantastic lighting, this was not the case.
The story kept a steady pace throughout and kept you fully immersed, taking you on the journey with them and feeling all the emotions they felt.
Mark Carlisle, Natalie Law, James Boswell and Cara Ballingall complete the cast and they play numerous characters who cannot be ignored and add so much to the telling of the story and the smooth running of the show.
