Wiper lift or wiper flutter occurs because of wind lift. Wind lift is an upward suction of the wiper blade and wiper arm created by the flow of air curving over it while turbulence behind the blade pushes the blade upward much like an airplane wing. It is more noticeable at highway speeds or when driving against the wind, to which we add the speed of the wiper blade movement. The original wiper arm mechanism is not strong enough to prevent wiper lift. The additional 400g (14oz) of pressure from SUREWIPE® springs counteracts this wiper lift effect. SUREWIPE® is the only wiper accessory that cures wiper flutter and solves wiper-cleaning problem at the source.
Bugs - If bugs on your windshield are a perpetual source of frustration, you will love SUREWIPE® springs. The added pressure will make your wiper blades work like a squeegee to erase the unfortunate bug.
Slush and Mud - The added pressure from SUREWIPE® cleans the slush and mud from your windshield in a single stroke. The heavier dirt and fine dust are swept to the edge of your windshield and flicked-off by the more energetic flip of the wiper blade instead of being swept back and forth at eye level.
Oily road film - On very hot days, you may have noticed that the road seems to glisten. The oil in road asphalt rises to the surface due to the heat. The vehicle ahead of you projects this oil onto your windshield. Then, when it rains, your wiper blades smear that film back and forth. SUREWIPE® springs are awesome at wiping off that film in no time.
SUREWIPE® is the only patented product on the market that adds pressure to prevent wiper dysfunction. It was developed as a wiper arm part to correct the weak pressure force of OE windshield wiper arms and achieve maximum wiping performance without the need to replace the costly wiper arm itself.
Our research on a thousand cars, vans and trucks shows that, on 99% of vehicles tested, the pressure force applied by the wiper arm is insufficient given the longer wiper arms and wiper blades that sweep across wider windshields.
The original spring in the wiper arm is a tension spring that works along the arm to attempt to put a pressure on the wiper blade. Evidently it does not have enough leverage to exert the needed pressure when traveling on the highway or in bad weather conditions. Consumers often change the wiper arm needlessly.
The spring inside the wiper arm is stressed to its limit. It cannot generate enough force.
The compact size of the wiper arm does not offer sufficient space to house a bigger or stronger spring. A new OE wiper arm part will not solve the problem either.
Fewer washer fluid fill-ups means you get more mileage out of your windshield washer gallon because with SUREWIPE® 2 squirts and a few wipes are all you need to get a squeegee clean windshield. Cut on the cost, the filling, the time and the trouble.
Running out of windshield washer fluid can be hazardous both in heavy traffic and on the highway. With SUREWIPE® you lessen the risk of running out of fluid because you will squirt a lot less.
SUREWIPE® also helps inhibit rust and corrosion of vehicle body. Because it contains alcohol, windshield washer fluid is corrosive. This explains the rust at the roofline and at the bottom of fenders behind the front wheels. Using less windshield washer fluid will minimize the corrosive effects. With SUREWIPE® you will use much less fluid and reduce corrosion.
Wiper blades are V-shaped and glide on the tip, which becomes frayed with time. With SUREWIPE® the tip of the blade will flex slightly putting more blade rubber surface in contact with the glass and the same even pressure all along the blade for a snug fit against the windshield.
The windshield is a non-abrasive smooth surface.
The wiper blade rubber is an abrasion-resistant material. It will not wear faster.
Liquids (washer fluid, rain, snow) act as a lubricant.
All abrasive dirt is wiped off with a better flexing of the blade. With the added pressure from SUREWIPE® the blade will perform better and longer.
Windshield-washer fluid residue freezes onto the windshield as the alcohol it contains evaporates quickly in cold and windy weather. If the fluid is not totally removed with one pass of the wiper blade freeze up will occur. With SUREWIPE® the liquid is thoroughly removed and no liquid is left to freeze.
Unfold the packaging card for step by step, easy to read instructions and pictograms.
SUREWIPE® springs can be installed in less than a minute (record installation time is 5 seconds per spring). They just hook onto the wiper arm at or near the hinge. No tool is required. View the INSTALLATION video.
SUREWIPE® springs are pressure adjustable. Go to the INSTALLATION page to adjust spring pressure if needed.
Rust is an important strength-reducing factor on regular spring steel. Made of STAINLESS STEEL Sure Wipe® springs will never rust. Because they will not rust or weaken, they will keep their strength for about 50 years or more.
Another important strength-reducing factor of a spring is the number of cycles it will withstand. Failure generally occurs after one million cycles. SUREWIPE® springs are not subject to such cycles as would suspension springs for example. Because there is no oscillation the springs will keep the same pressure on the wiper arm without weakening or breaking and will remain as strong as the day you bought them.
Tests show that in WET conditions the wiper motor effort is the same WITH or WITHOUT SUREWIPE® springs. The rain, snow and washer fluid create a lubricant on the windshield for the wiper blade to glide on with no additional effort or drag.
SUREWIPE® springs cost less than ONE good quality wiper blade but you get a set of 2 springs, and you will not have to change them every 6 months. Now, that is a great deal.
Other products like windshield treatments are not permanent yet they are more expensive. They must be reapplied on a regular basis. We do not recommend these liquid treatments because they create a blur or haze on the windshield, especially at night. Furthermore, windshield treatments are not effective against solid road dirt or slush in winter or bugs that stick to your windshield in summer. SUREWIPE® is the permanent and carefree solution that solves the problem at its source.
A well designed aerodynamic wiper blade minimally compensates the effects of wind lift. It will not correct the total lack of pressure on the windshield wiper. SUREWIPE® safely adds approximately 400g (14oz) of pressure and makes the entire wiper hug the windshield as if you were using a squeegee.
SURE WIPE® is the only carefree solution to windshield wiper blade flutter. This stainless steel spring adds pressure on the wiper in order to give a better adhesion of the blade onto the windshield. This product is cheaper than a single wiper blade and it is safe for the wiper motor. With SURE WIPE®, say goodbye to annoying wiper blade chatter and streaks that impede visibility, and enjoy the best windshield cleaning performance ever.

Apple Watch’s exact launch date has been a mystery since its announcement. All we knew was that it will start shipping in the first quarter of 2015, but it seems we do have some more details about it.
During the recent quarterly earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that the long-awaited Apple Watch should ship in April, not March.
Earlier reports hinted that Apple plans to launch Apple Watch by March, but it turns out it’s not so true after all. The company still didn’t reveal an exact launch date for the wearable. Cook further mentioned that everything is on track, and the wearable should launch at its planned schedule.
In the past few weeks, we’ve seen some leaked details of the Apple Watch, and the most disappointing has been its battery life. Rumors suggest it would last for less than a day on active usage while the standby time is expected to be around 2-3 days.
It remains to be seen how much truth lies in these leaked details about the performance of the app so we’ll just wait for Apple to officially reveal detailed information about Apple Watch.

The author -- who is the Associate Director of the Kentucky Council of Churches -- wants to see Subaru begin building affordable, highway-capable battery-electric versions of its new R1e coupe.
Hear me out. I have a plan. Well, it's more like a dream, but with your help we can make and implement a powerful plan for pressuring an OEM to bring a nice EV to market.
Let's launch a concerted, organized, grass-roots, highly-focused campaign to bring another full-sized highway-capable EV to market in the United States of America.
Make them know it will be profitable for them because we will each: PLEDGE TO BUY THE CAR WHEN IT IS PRODUCED.
Believing that progress can be made in the corporate sector when a large number of consumers make their voices heard in a loud way, I want to start a campaign to get progressive-minded consumers (and potential EV consumers) uberfocused-- and put pressure on one car maker: Subaru.
They have proven themselves in a niche market here in the U.S. and the EV market is still perceived as only niche by auto makers. Subaru only sells five cars in the U.S. and have positioned themselves well as doing something no one else does and being the exclusive go-to company when consumers know what they want, e.g. all-wheel drive standard on every vehicle.
They already have a network of nearly 600 dealers across the United States poised for service and distribution. They have a dealership and service department in every state in the United States of America. I would really love to have an EV with a nice warranty and capacity for local service.
In 2003, they only sold 186,819 units. If we can convince anyone to take control of an entire, wide-open niche in the U.S., who better to target than a small niche-market company. We would not need to guarantee them many sales to make it worth their while. Even with a challenging sales environment and an increasingly competitive marketplace, they have continued to sustain strong sales growth in the U.S.
They have taken a step forward with a "hybrid" because what they have designed for the B9SC is adaptable to the existing drive trains in their other vehicles and basically turns a gas vehicle into a completely electric vehicle until it is operated over 50mph or needs unusually quick acceleration.
They make some quality products. Consumer Reports recommends 3/4 of everything Subaru has ever built-- and that's not an easy achievement.
They need to clean up their image on the environmental front after their decision to pollute more and consume more fuel by tweaking their wagons to obtain new light-truck classifications and add turbochargers.
And of course, they have already made a 240V conductive charging, laminated lithium-ion, totally electric R1e.
Let's tap the wellspring of wisdom and pool our resources for some potent and honest analysis. Here's what I propose.
I want every person who has ever complained about OEMs not making an EV for the general public to e-mail, write to via USPS mail, and call every upper-level executive at Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Subaru of America, Inc., and the owner of their nearest Subaru dealer-- within a set span of time, (perhaps around Earth Day)-- and vow to purchase an EV from them if they will meet certain specifications. I am imagining a massive concerted effort in which we decide what we want, and then all ask for the same thing. For example we take polls and discuss in forums until we can come to some kind of a consensus about what we'd all like to have in this EV and then we all call, write, and visit dealerships pledging to purchase a $25,000.00, reliable, full-sized, vehicle-to-grid, 115and240V onboard charging, lithium ion powered sedan, that gets 100 miles of range, that looked like a legacy sedan, with side curtain and passenger airbags, a proper marketing campaign, five star crash rating, seating for five, our whole wish list, etc. etc. etc. and offer them a down payment on the vehicle immediately in advance.
Phase two is putting our energy together. It won't be easy to decide on what we want to ask for, but once we are in agreement, we need to grow the base of activists before we take action. I don't know how many individuals are members of the Electric Auto Association, EV World, Electrifying Times, Alternative Fuels groups, and other networks, but these members are the initial base. Phase one will include input from all these members, and perhaps many more. Once we have established a realistic product to demand, we need to get as many people on board with this plan as we possibly can. This involves organizing, educating, motivating, and making commitments to spread the word and motivate potential customers. The campaign could only be successful if we can convince a company they have a large number of guaranteed sales.
In phase two we will need to reach out to every conceivable environmental group from BushGreenWatch to REPAMerica -- to champion this cause and get folks onboard. During this phase we’d need folks to volunteer to make slick and brief educational and campaign materials available to these other groups to lobby first for the need for EVs and then for our particular plan.
It might be possible to even tap into something like Josh Tickell's network of 10,000 biodiesel supporters as well. Could you imagine what we could do if we had 10,000 people making a solemn vow to Kyoji Takenaka to buy this product? Subaru only sold 10,694 units of their Baja model in 2003, and that was their best Baja sales year ever.
Phase three is putting our money together. No, I do not want us to pool our money; don't send me any money: pledge it to an automaker. Money talks. Let's shout.
Once we've decide what we are going to ask for and have executed a successful campaign to grow the numbers of people in our concerted movement, then we must take action and pledge to buy a specific EV if Subaru will bring it to market. We could use capwiz and meetup technology to help make this happen, but we would really need to make this a top priority everywhere we gather and in all communication channels. We'd need to carve out time from every EVAA meeting for a letter-writing campaign. This has to be a concerted effort with a strong commitment to make the in-person visits, surface-mail individualized (and even handwritten) letters bread for the world style, and multiple personal phone calls. If phase one reveals a dramatic show of interest, then I envision implementation of phase two and phase three could begin almost concurrently.
It's not perfect, but I haven't heard anyone suggest something this radical in a while, and I'd like to see what you think about it. Am I totally off my rocker? Do you have insider info that says the reason why the R2 was non-electric was because the existing R1e failed so miserably that Andreas Zapatinas was fired in disgrace? Is Subaru the right place to target? I think it is.
The really big OEMs obviously ignore what they consider to be niche markets (that's why Woodbury will make a go of the Tango. Don't get me wrong, I want a Tango, I just can't pay $85,000.00 for one right now.) I really don't want to hurt the upstart EV makers, but I have heard a lot of people complain that OEMs can do this but won't. If you have ever complained about existing automakers not producing EVs, then please consider giving this movement all you've got.
There are other reasons why I think this will work than I have mentioned here, but I'd rather hear what you think of the idea. I do not work for Subaru, but I have driven one for the past three years and I love it. If you can make the case for targeting a different manufacturer and the larger community backs you up, then that's where I will put my energy and efforts.
If you even think this has a snowball's chance in Death Valley, then please let us know what you think.
If it is easier for you, please post your response in the Reader Response window below, but the EVWorld YahooGroup might facilitate easier conversations. Wherever you respond, give a quick gut reaction, or take some time to think through many dimensions of such a campaign and let us know what you think with regard to the following items.
Is there a better company to target than Subaru, and if so who and why?
What would be our biggest hurdles to making this happen and how can we navigate these hurdles with success?
Exactly what features of a vehicle should we demand?
Specifically, what type of batteries should we demand, what type of charging system, what range, top speed, renewable components, etc.?
What safety ratings and features like ABS, curtain air bags, should we specify, if any?
What additional features should we specify, e.g. air-conditioning, etc.?
What advertising and marketing strategies should we suggest/demand that they employ to help them insure this will be a profitable venture for them? We have blasted GM and others for botching this side of things, so let's help our targeted manufacturer learn from the mistakes of others.
What (realistically) is the maximum/optimum/ amount you are willing to pay for the car you want?
Are you interested in spearheading this campaign? I have no desire to make this all about me; I'd rather one of you supervise this campaign who has far more experience with EVs or with community organizing than I.
Should we couple this plan with a concerted initiative to also lobby the government to fund the development of wind and/or solar technologies? I live in coal country. Many people have argued that so long as so much of grid is using dirty, non-renewable sources, EVs actually become part of many problems instead of the solution.
Should we try to use our organized might to simultaneously make a strong showing to Subaru -- AND -- make a concerted effort to call all U.S. Senators, Representatives, Governors, U.S. Cabinet Officials, the White House, etc. to demand a very particular accomplishment: namely, to give the U.S. Department of Energy x number of dollars to fund research into developing cost effective PV technology, specifically -- Professor Michael Graetzel's (of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) (with an emphasis on replacing the liquid electrolytes that are mostly used today for the hole-transport function by conductive polymers) and a full organic approach, in which a mixture of electron-acceptor and electron-donor organic materials is sandwiched between two electrodes, such as that being explored by STMicroelectronics.
Perhaps we can engage in a concerted effort to level the energy playing field for wind by citing examples such as the High Winds Energy Center between San Francisco and Sacramento, seems to be an example that has refined most, if not all, previous problems with wind turbines.

Antibiotics are used worldwide for both animal and human treatment. Widespread use has heightened concerns about the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, which impacts animal welfare, public health and food safety.
Synlait Farms – the former subsidiary business of Synlait Ltd – has rebranded as Purata.
With Latin and Maori origins meaning ‘clear, bright - like a beautiful morning,” Purata’s name reflects the company’s new vision post ownership change, says Purata CEO Juliet Maclean.
Accompanied by the tagline ‘Farming for Tomorrow’, the Purata brand embodies the company’s focus on innovation, sustainability and creativity.
Juliet Maclean says changing the brand name, tagline and colour palate will help Purata reinforce its separate identity since leaving parent company Synlait Ltd.
A Chinese business now has a majority interest in about 12,000 hectares of New Zealand dairy farms after getting approval to buy Synlait Farms.

Is Extra 'Holiday Pay' Legally Required?
Forget Black Friday. More retailers are opening early on Thanksgiving this year, Reuters reports. If you're a store owner, are you legally required to pay overtime or premium "holiday" pay?
The short answer is "no." In general, private employers are not required by law to pay a special wage for work over the holidays. However, some exceptions may apply.
Under federal law, there is no special overtime rate for work performed over the holidays. This means that as a private employer, you can require that your employees work on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year or any other day while paying the same rate as you would any normal workday.
However, if your workers are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or have individual employment contracts, you would have to comply with the terms of those agreements.
Often a collective bargaining agreement will dictate the work calendar. Workers can typically refuse to work on days not set forth in the calendar, or receive a predetermined higher wage for work performed on those days. This may explain the common misperception that every employee must be paid special wages for work performed on holidays.
Such agreements can be complicated, so If you're planning to be open for business on a holiday and you're unsure about what your labor agreement requires, you may want to contact an employment attorney to address any potential legal issues.
Still, just because holiday pay may not be legally required for most employers, you may want to consider other, non-legal factors before paying your workers minimum wage for working on Thanksgiving. Staff morale and loyalty are just a few. So you may want to consider paying more as a reward or bonus for workers who sacrifice their family time to help out your business.

japan-select-shop has no other items for sale.
Great seller! Item arrived as described!
The seller did a great job of sending, representing and packing the item.
Beautiful watch, fast shipping, friendly communication. Thanks!
I received my shipment in just over a weeks time in Canada!
Quicker than expected. The roduct is genuine as promised.
Impressive marriage of traditional and modern elements!
As so many have already stated, this watch is a great example of the quality timepieces that Seiko has produced for so many decades. Quality is a function of technology combined with durability, and this watch exemplifies that-- it can be felt upon direct examination with the smoothness of operation and the robustness of the construction and materials. This watch is a very traditional watch in the sense that it includes numerous styling cues from the best of Seiko's past watches. In spite of this, it also becomes obvious that some more modern elements were incorporated, including a slight increase in overall size. Don't let the 38mm size turn you away-- it has the perfect degree of presence for its purpose in the wrist of the average size man! The perfect combination of curves, brushed surfaces, polished surfaces, and lines of demarcation between these elements gives the Seiko SARB035 a timeless and classic style for both casual and dress occasions. Finally, the dial complements the case very nicely with a simple elegance, radiance, appropriate level of detail, and hands that reach all the way to the graduations on the chapter ring as they should. The lume is also appropriate and functional without taking away from the stylish appearance. As so many others have stated, I agree that anyone eyeing this watch already will not be disappointed upon purchasing it. It goes without saying, that this watch is an excellent value. Its attributes suggest a watch of a much higher price. My SARB035 has been gaining 2 seconds overnight and losing 2 seconds while wearing it daily for a week now. I don't think you could ask for anything better!
Looks like watches in more expensive price brackets.
This is an amazing watch! It fits my small wrist perfectly and it is light on the arms. It looks very dressy but somehow works also with more casual outfits. The finish makes it look more expensive than its price. It is also very accurate, my measurements over the last 3 weeks indicates that it lags by less than 3 sec per day. I replaced the bracelet with a burgundy colored Hirsh strap and it looks even more elegant. I think I will enjoy swapping different leather straps with it. An important note to buyers from the Philippines: The original post states door to door delivery by EMS. However, EMS cannot do door to door for any item worth more than $190. So expect to pick this up from the post office and pay the required taxes.
Hi, I'm George and I would like to say this watch is a great deal. It has a great automatic movement the 6r15c. It has a sapphire crystal on the front and a wonderful dial. The case work is a work of art, the bracelet is better than it's lower end models. Wonderful 50+ power reserve and excellent lume for a dresser watch and good water resistance. A watch of this quality even from Seiko can cost a lot more money! I own mid and high end watches and by far I'm impressed with the quality, fit and craftsmanship. I would strongly recommend this watch for a guy who loves watches and quality. I can't say enough about this watch and they have a model the sarb033 which is a black dial version of this watch so plenty of options. The white dial can be dressed up or down too so it works great for the office or a night out on the town or just simple jeans and a shirt. Seiko hit this one out of the park! It's like having a Grand Seiko without the price of one. Give it a try and I bet you will love it. A great watch at a great value that will last for many many years! I hope this helps someone who reads this.
This is one incredible watch, one of the best values that you can find on the marketplace. The color combination of the dial and bracelet is absolutely gorgeous and the attention to detail is exceptional. I am a huge fan of well made Japanese pieces below $500 and next to my Orient Bambino, this is one of the best values on the marketplace today. Very classy piece, a "must have" for every true watch afficionado!

Ethan Setiawan is a Boston-based mandolin player who’s won such accolades as the National Mandolin Championship and the RockyGrass Mandolin Championship. He’s a member of bands Corner House, Mudskippers, The Harmolodic String Band, and freelances with musicians including Darol Anger and Tony Trischka. In 2015, he attended the Acoustic Music Seminar at the Savannah Music Festival, a program where participants work with musicians like Mike Marshall, Julian Lage, Casey Driessen, and Bryan Sutton. Later that year, he guested on A Prairie Home Companion (now known as Live From Here.) A move to Boston in August of 2015 to attend Berklee College of Music on a full ride scholarship brought about a new chapter in Ethan’s life. He’s been a catalyst for several projects in the Boston area and elsewhere, including Mudskippers, a progressive string band, Corner House, which draws from Scottish, Appalachian string band, and bluegrass styles, and the Harmolodic String Band, which plays the music of Ornette Coleman on bluegrass instruments.
His path has wended its way through traditional bluegrass, to Bach partitas, to free jazz, and his debut full-length album, “Flux” is made up of original tunes drawing from all these wells. The album was conceived and crafted as a whole; the tunes were written for the band, who were chosen for the tunes. To write the album, he dove deep into the compositional techniques and tunes of some of the pioneers of the current wave of bluegrass: Bela Fleck, Matt Flinner, David Grisman and Mike Marshall, to name a few. After months of writing, discarding, and editing, a body of tunes emerged as clear candidates for a record. Over several years, the community around Ethan in the Northeast and Midwest evolved into the perfect band for a project such as this. The band features Julian Pinelli and Avery Merritt on fiddles, Sam Leslie on guitar, and Jacob Warren playing bass. Skilled engineer and mandolinist Dan Bui of Twisted Pine engineered and mixed the album. The recording process took place at the Record Company in Boston, and the resulting album contains close friends and bandmates, a batch of carefully crafted tunes, and the freshest grooves in bluegrass. He has shared the stage with Julian Lage, Darrell Scott, Mike Marshall, Tony Trischka, Darol Anger, Bryan Sutton, Casey Driessen, and the Steel Wheels.

The Mount Desert Island Historical Society and Seal Cove Auto Museum are once again working together to offer a full-time, year-round position shared by the two organizations. The purpose of the job-share is to provide meaningful employment for talented people while working within the budgets of both non-profits. Executive Directors Tim Garrity and Raney Bench are pleased to announce hiring PhD candidate Patrick Callaway, completing his research in history at the University of Maine, Orono. Patrick will move to the Island in May to start his work while completing his dissertation.
His research focuses on the economic connections between the United States and British North America in the late 1700s and early 1800s. He earned his MA in history from Montana State University in 2008, and his BS in Secondary Education from the University of Montana-Western in 2005. Outside of history, Patrick enjoys cooking, hiking, and classic TV and movies. On behalf of the Historical Society Patrick will be caring for and cataloging collections two days a week, a passion he developed when conducting research in archives. While at the Auto Museum he will organize events and work with the public, and manage the museum store.
The Auto Museum has two other staff transitions in progress. Long-time Curator Roberto Rodriguez is retiring but will continue to work with the Museum on special projects. Because of the Museum’s growing community engagement and education outreach goals, we have hired a full-time Curator of Education, Jenna Beaulieu. Jenna had formerly been the Museum’s Events and Store Manager, the position being filled by Patrick. Finally, Hope Rowan has accepted a position doing GIS trail mapping across Maine, and while she will be greatly missed at the museum, this is the perfect fit for her skills and passions.

Will be at the Brides of Mumbai Exhibition, WTC, Cuffe Parade.
One more super quick & super last minute announcement is that I will be taking part in the Brides of Mumbai Exhibition that will take place at World Trade Centre, Cuffe Parade, tomorrow & the day after, 20th & 21st July 2012, 10am to 7pm. Do drop by if you are in that part of town. It is on the 31st floor. Stall no 48. :) See you :) If you are planning on meeting me come on the 20th. See yaaa sooon!!
I have long been a fan Aditi Prakash of Pure Ghee Designs and the work that she does. Her grab-your-eyeball colours. The shapes of her bags, the aesthetics, the detailing, the finish. And then I happened to meet her at the IMC Diwali exhibition last year. We clicked instantly because she was so warm and very down to earth. What won my heart was she looped one of her famous charms onto my bag while saying bye . A bright & hot pink one :) It has never failed to elicit a comment. I have been wanting to feature her and her work here & what better way to do that than a quick interview with her. And at the bottom of this this post is a sweet giveaway. Read on.
Artnlight: What is your background and when did you know for the 1st time that you are one day going to have a brand called Pure Ghee designs or that you will design bags for a living?
Aditi Prakash: I loved to draw as a child, this interest continued as I grew. I would spend hours filling out my biology diagrams! I went on to pursue Bachelors of Fine Arts from JNTU Hyderabad, majoring in Sculpture. I realized along the way that I loved putting different materials together.
At NID I studied furniture design and once I passed out I worked with traditional craft communities across the country. I realized that whatever I did it had to have a hand made element to it.
Two years ago I set up my design studio, Pure Ghee Designs. I had never thought I would be making bags. I had designed some bags for a client. The client lost interest and did not take the products I designed to the market, I believed in them and decided to do it myself! That’s how I ended up making and selling bags! Over the course of time I realize that making bags brings together my love for art, craft and design. I plan to expand to other accessories like jewelry, footwear and stoles soon.
Artnlight: You have a thing for bright colours. Is it purely a design decision, how personal is colour to you?
Aditi Prakash:I have loved bright colours ever since I can remember. I get very inspired especially when I travel to smaller towns and find women being very bold in the colours they wear! I have no favourites, I love playing with colours and observing how they interact with each other.
Artnlight: What have been your biggest challenges & biggest joys in this journey?
But the journey is great never the less. It has made me a more positive person. It has helped me hone my decision making skills. Pure Ghee Designs makes me believe in myself every day!
Artnlight: Any advice for budding entrepreneurs?
Aditi Prakash:Becoming an entrepreneur as a journey of discovering oneself! Be prepared to deal with the good, bad and ugly.
Now for the good news! Pure Ghee bags are finally available online on pret-amoda!

When I knew I was going to Bangalore for the Soul Santhe, Shilo Shiv Suleman was the 1st person I informed. I knew if there was something I was looking forward to more than even the Soul Santhe it was meeting her. And not only would I get to meet her, but her mother too would be there, the legendary Nilofer Suleman at the altar of whose art I worship. For the few of those who don't know, Shilo is the incredibly young and accomplished artist whom the world recognised before she passed out of art School. But more than that she and her work captures your imagination. I have wanted to meet this young girl much before she went on to be a TED speaker. "She illustrated her first book for children at the age of 16 and has illustrated and published 8 others since. She has also been actively involved in setting up community art projects. Earlier this year, at only 22 years of age, she was chosen by TED and Levi's as an ambassador of the 'Shape of Things to Come' - one of three Indian women to be felicitated with this honour at the TED Global Conference 2011, Edinburgh. In 2010 she was selected for an INK fellowship for her work as a young innovator in her field and now continues her work with the community as their Featured Artist of the Year. She was also one of the youngest speakers at the WIRED UK and DLD conference in London and Munich." So in brief and maybe even flippantly- painter of books, buses, walls, art activist, gorgeous App designer, stage designer, TED speaker, (do click on the links which will take you to different aspects of her work) representative of a generation of women, of art, of culture. For she speaks of and derives from Arjuna and Apsara's when normal kids her generation would not think it cool to do so even if they knew enough to. It takes coming from and standing on strong ground and a sure sense of self to take a leap and fly.
As i walked into Shilo's & Nilofer's home, there was much to take in, the striking girl with frangipani in her hair and the home itself which gave me a distinct feeling of walking into her art. It all came together very beautifully. There were no two stories here. Only one. This was a home that had so much to give. There are some spaces that are very generous and this has everything to do with the people inhabiting it.
I loved the verandah outside their home. It was done in cool whites, had abundant greens and had these cowheads that Shilo had collected on her travels to across India.
And this is her room where she lives and works from. Her work is integral to where she comes from, who she is and what she truly feels. Perhaps that is why it has gone as far as it has.
We had a lot of fun shooting her. It was not an overly bright day and it made for some interesting lighting.
It was uncanny feeling being in her space, it felt like being inside her live art, all the things that were drawn in her illustrations seemed present in this room. The frangipani, the lotuses, the gods, the twinky lights, were all here.
And now we enter Nilofer Suleman's studio, the place where the most astoundingly intricate and tongue-in-cheek humoured paintings are born.
It felt surreal to enter this space of an artist whom I admired so much, making casual conversation while I clicked and she worked, as if this were any other day.
Entering the workspace of any artist is for me entering their private space, it is where they engage with their ideas, where their thoughts and being meet the muse and creation takes place. It is no less than a privilege of a lifetime if the artist allows you to witness the process of creation.
The Suleman's were very welcoming and generous hosts. Shilo had to leave to take a Delhi flight and I saw the artist Nilofer at work and as mother. And perhaps the most important thing that I experienced was that their simplicity and humility were in direct proportion to their collective and formidable talent.
For quick references: Shilo's TED talk, her blog & Khoya the interactive app she developed for the ipad.

A Devon shop already has its Christmas stock on display, as August begins, and says customers are loving the festive range.
Chaplins has its lights, baubles and trees up for sale even though summer should, officially have a couple of months left to run.
Vanessa Chaplin says customers of the Plympton store won't be disappointed if they are looking for a few Christmas bargains alongside their sandals and suncream.
The team have created a permanent Christmas display, where people can stock up on lights, baubles and decorations early. Meanwhile, Chaplins' award-winning grotto will be officially open on November 18, reports plymouthherald.
Vanessa said: "Christmas takes a lot of work - people might think 'oh my goodness Christmas already' but it has to be planned."
"We certainly don't want to cut short summer or upset valued customers but we have created an all year round Christmas Shop."
Vanessa said: "I love Christmas and don't want to spoil the spirit for anyone - we think putting a bit away each week is a sensible thing to do. We want to go out of our way to make Christmas great."
Vanessa isn't sure whether the store is the first to stock Christmas goods and understands early festive shopping isn't for everyone.
She said: "I have no idea whether we are the first to stock Christmas goods and I am fully aware it will get a mixed reaction.
"That is why we have set up a dedicated area with a huge sign above saying 'Christmas Shop This Way' inside the garden centre at the back, near the exit to our grotto, so it won't be the first thing you see.
"What we don't want to do is disrespect anyone who doesn't want to see Christmas decorations at this time of year, and we fully understand it is not for everyone.
"However, we are having an excellent response to our Christmas Shop, because the feedback we are getting from customers is that they are spreading the cost of Christmas, making it much easier for families.
According to Vanessa, countries around the world aren't as shy as the UK when it comes to celebrating Christmas.
She said: "If you look at America, which is ahead of us with trends, Christmas shops have been part of their shopping culture for a long time."
Vanessa says she has also visited UK cities and has taken note of their approach to the festive season.
She said: "We visited Bath and saw Christmas shops there and thought we are so big into Christmas and have a lovely opportunity to create an all year round shop ourselves. At this stage, it's a condensed range but we have new stock arriving and plenty of interesting things coming."
Vanessa added: "Christmas is very big for us - in fact we have already done our Christmas grotto, though it won't be open for some time."
"Everyone has their own opinion, and not trying to disrespect people, but if you come in for Christmas stuff, you won't be disappointed."

The latest news about my new release - Galatine's Curse!
Well summer has arrived sooner than expected in NZ. We’ve had some really hot weather, and I love it! Last weekend we headed to Ngawi for a weekend break – a wild bit of coast an hour or so from where we live. It was a great break with limited internet, which is unusual now, but fantastic. Ngawi is well worth a visit – you can get some great fish and chips there!
Galatine, Gawain’s sword, now belongs to Tom, but a long time ago it used to belong to somebody else. And now they want it back.
Tom and Arthur are living at New Camelot, and Arthur is hosting a tournament. But while the games are being played, an intruder has appeared and is attacking Tom’s friends. Before anyone else gets hurt, Tom needs to figure out who they are and what they want.
Their investigations uncover Galatine’s dark history, and a curse that stretches into the present. Everything seems to point to the Forger of Light, and it seems they must return to Dragons Hollow. Tom has to act quickly if he is to prevent another tragedy.
I’m also working on an audible version of Tom’s Inheritance – having someone else read your work is quite weird, but also exciting!
And another great Giveaway is on Bookfunnel – https://books.bookfunnel.com/yafantasyholiday – again until the 31st December.
Happy reading everyone, and enjoy the build up to Christmas!

DeJesus opposes the further arming and militarization of SFPD.
At a time when public trust in the police department is critically low - especially following the recent racist text scandal and the shooting deaths of Jessica Williams, Mario Woods, Alex Nieto and Luis Gongora Pat - our city needs a commissioner with impeccable judgment who exhibits a complete understanding of 21st Century Policing to rebuild that trust. Petra Dejesus has proven to be that person.

Для этого нужна библиотека openssl. Если у Вас linux, то она 100% у Вас уже стоит, и вы можете пропустить этот абзац. Для меня, как для windows пользователя, придумали специальные программы для запуска подобных пакетов. После недолгих поисков по сети я нашел cygwin. Если лень возиться с отдельной установкой OpenSSL и других попутных штук то лучше при установке кликните на установку всех пакетов.
In practice, however, the most commonly-used protocol tends to be HTTP, especially when using PHP for server-to-server communication. Typically this involves accessing another web server as part of a web service call, using some method such as XML-RPC or REST to query a resource. For example, Delicious offers a HTTP-based API to manipulate and read a user’s posts. However, when trying to access a HTTPS resource (such as the delicious API), there’s a little more configuration you have to do before you can get cURL working right in PHP.
// Initialize session and set URL.
// Set so curl_exec returns the result instead of outputting it.
// Get the response and close the channel.
The problem is that cURL has not been configured to trust the server’s HTTPS certificate. The concepts of certificates and PKI revolves around the trust of Certificate Authorities (CAs), and by default, cURL is setup to not trust any CAs, thus it won’t trust any web server’s certificate. So why don’t you have problems visiting HTTPs sites through your web browser? As it happens, the browser developers were nice enough to include a list of default CAs to trust, covering most situations, so as long as the website operator purchased a certificate from one of these CAs.
This basically causes cURL to blindly accept any server certificate, without doing any verification as to which CA signed it, and whether or not that CA is trusted. If you’re at all concerned about the data you’re passing to or receiving from the server, you’ll want to enable this peer verification properly. Doing so is a bit more complicated.
The proper fix involves setting the CURLOPT_CAINFO parameter. This is used to point towards a CA certificate that cURL should trust. Thus, any server/peer certificates issued by this CA will also be trusted. In order to do this, we first need to get the CA certificate. In this example, I’ll be using the https://api.del.icio.us/ server as a reference.
Bring up the “Details” tab of the cerficates page, and select the certificate at the top of the hierarchy. This is the CA certificate.
Then click “Export”, and save the CA certificate to your selected location, making sure to select the X.509 Certificate (PEM) as the save type/format.
Now we need to modify the cURL setup to use this CA certificate, with CURLOPT_CAINFO set to point to where we saved the CA certificate file to.
If you have CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER set to false, then from a security perspective, it doesn’t really matter what you’ve set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to, since without peer certificate verification, the server could use any certificate, including a self-signed one that was guaranteed to have a CN that matched the server’s host name. So this setting is really only relevant if you’ve enabled certificate verification.
This ensures that not just any server certificate will be trusted by your cURL session. For example, if an attacker were to somehow redirect traffic from api.delicious.com to their own server, the cURL session here would not properly initialize, since the attacker would not have access to a server certificate (i.e. would not have the private key) trusted by the CA we added. These steps effectively export the trusted CA from the web browser to the cURL configuration.
If you have the CA certificate, but it is not in the PEM format (i.e. it is in a binary or DER format that isn’t Base64-encoded), you’ll need to use something like OpenSSL to convert it to the PEM format. The exact command differs depending on whether you’re converting from PKCS12 or DER format.
There is a CURLOPT_CAPATH option that allows you to specify a directory that holds multiple CA certificates to trust. But it’s not as simple as dumping every single CA certificate in this directory. Instead, they CA certificates must be named properly, and the OpenSSL c_rehash utility can be used to properly setup this directory for use by cURL.

WASHINGTON, DC – In comments submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the 2019 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) cautioned policymakers against implementing a proposal to reduce physician reimbursement for evaluation and management (E/M) services, arguing that doing so could severely compromise patient access to care and further exacerbate the growing rheumatology workforce shortage.
"While we applaud CMS for taking steps to reduce provider documentation and reporting burdens, we have serious concerns about the impact these cuts will have on patient access to rheumatology care," said David Daikh, MD, PhD, President of the ACR. "A one-size-fits-all approach to reimbursement is not the way to move forward, and cuts of this magnitude will not only force physicians to spend less time with patients but could also dissuade medical students from pursuing careers in rheumatology and other specialties that treat a high volume of patients with complex needs."
CMS' proposal, which would create a flat payment for all E/M visits regardless of complexity, would result in significant payment cuts for treating patients with complex care needs – penalizing doctors who treat sicker patients or patients with multiple chronic conditions. These cuts also go against the recommendations of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), which earlier this year found that E/M services are undervalued relative to other physician services and recommended that reimbursements be increased rather than cut. The ACR recommends that CMS implement only the documentation relief elements of the E/M proposal, while delaying the payment changes so CMS can work closely with physicians and all stakeholders to identify alternative approaches that would ensure physicians are appropriately reimbursed according to the level of care required by each individual patient's condition.
The ACR also expressed concern that CMS' proposal to reduce reimbursements for procedures performed on the same day and billed as a separately identifiable E/M visit could reduce quality of care and lead to higher co-pays for patients by requiring them to return on a different day for minor procedures.
Maintain the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) small practice bonus at 5 percent of the final score rather than move it to the quality performance category as is currently proposed.
Not move forward with a proposal to increase the weight of the cost performance category to 15 percent in the 2021 MIPS payment year. The ACR also urged CMS to use the best 90 days in the Cost category when calculating MIPS payment bonuses rather than the entire calendar year and exclude Part B medication costs from the cost performance category.
Provide physicians with more credit for participating in specialty clinical data registries under MIPS, such as the ACR RISE Registry which uses electronic health records to improve patient care, outcomes, and practice efficiency.
Rely on input from all stakeholders about inappropriate and excessive reduction in practice expense reimbursement for diagnostic ultrasound and other services.
"The ACR remains dedicated to ensuring that rheumatologists and rheumatology health professionals have the resources they need to provide patients with high quality care and will continue to advocate for payment reforms that reflect the way practices treat patients," Dr. Daikh said. "We look forward to serving as a resource for CMS as it develops and implements its final 2019 Physician Fee Schedule rule."

For mortals looking to go fast, descend confidently, and brake safely, here’s a line-up of beloved and favorite bike frames models—all of which deliver a solid balance of speed, stability and control. Some are selected with the most avid of cyclists in mind while some cheaper options are for those who just need reliable wheels to get them to work, the park, or wherever their next adventure takes them.
When it comes to buying a bike its important that the bike meets your needs. One of the most crucial factors is the size of the frame. eBay has a vast range of bikes and this guide will help you know what information you need to look for and what if anything you may need to ask the seller before you decide to purchase.
This guide will explain how to asses the correct frame size for you based on your height and other factors. Broadly speaking bikes fall into 1 of 3 categories.
These are slim, lightweight bikes designed for speed. They are popular with commuters and racers, they can range from basic models up to top of the range time trial bikes precision engineered to be as light and fast as possible. The saddle is high and the handlebars are lower, the resulting riding position encourages you to hunch over the handlebars to use your stronger gluteus muscles and to reduce wind resistance.
These are designed for going up and down mountains. They have thick wheels and shock absorbers. They are very sturdy and are built to be durable though not especially light or fast. Typically these are popular with enthusiasts although a lot of affordable mountain bikes are often used to commute as well simply because they last.
These are a mix of the two. They are similar to racing bikes but with thicker wheels and normally stronger but heavier frames, built for on and off road journeys. They wouldn’t be suitable for extreme downhill biking but they would be excellent if you want to take a cycle trip, which includes some off road elements. They are also popular commuting bikes.
There are other more specialised kinds of bikes available such as BMX or Time Trial but these will be covered later on in our size guide.
Cycling is both efficient and a fun method of transport, especially for short or medium length journeys. Using a bicycle instead of motor transport provides you with exercise, reduces the use of fossil fuels and enables you to take routes, which would be inaccessible in a car or using public transport.
Bicycles are also much easier and more convenient to park although you will require a good bike lock. Cycling benefits your health as well as reducing your carbon footprint.
Bikes are available in a range of different frame sizes. When making an online purchase through a retailer such as eBay, the product will probably not be possible to see in person, so ensure that you pick the correct frame size to match your body for a much more comfortable and efficient ride.
The most important factors when choosing frame size are the type of bike in question, the height and body shape of the rider and finally what feels comfortable.
The frame size measurement is the most important indicator of a bike’s size. The standard definition of this figure is the measurement from the bottom bracket (the locus of the pedals) up to the collar of the seat tube.
Bear in mind however, that a few manufacturers will measure from where the top tube and the seat tube join which will give a slightly different value. If in doubt you can always ask the buyer directly to confirm the frame size and ask how they are measuring.
It is conventional for the frame size of road bikes to be measured in centimetres and the size of hybrid or off road bikes to be given in inches. A few manufacturers will simply give standardised sizes like S, M, and L. If this is the case then match the size of frame to the size of clothing you generally wear, but don’t be afraid to ask the seller to measure the frame size.
The frame size tells you the length of the frame tube however the whole bike will be in proportion, so bigger bikes won’t just have a higher saddle but the handlebars will be further from the saddle etc. For this reason it can be dangerous to buy a bike which is out of proportion to the rider’s body.
See the tables below to help determine which frame size is required.

The record of West Indies international cricket is extraordinary. At one time they dominated all three formats of international cricket and seemed invincible.
Then it all fell apart and the collapse of such a great cricketing nation has been considered a mystery in the annals of modern sport and popular performance culture.

Community Voice International is a nonprofit organization that facilitates cultural understanding and supports international development by improving communities’ capacity to share cultural resources.
Mission: Community Voice International is a nonprofit organization that facilitates cultural understanding and supports international development by improving communities’ capacity to share cultural resources.
Vision: Communities throughout the world will have the capacity to share their cultural resources globally to actively engage in cultural exchange and improve their quality of life.
Background: Throughout the world there are communities seeking to improve their quality of life but facing financial barriers to undertaking development efforts. Many of these communities also produce unique music which could produce profits if it were marketed to an international audience. Community Voice International is based on the idea that the sales of these communities’ music can and will generate the seed money to fund the development efforts desired by community members.
Pilot Project: In order to prove the concept that local music can be recorded and sold to fund local development projects, Community Voice International is currently implementing a pilot project. This pilot will execute the model on a small scale, helping just a handful of communities. Later, based on the evidence from the pilot, the model will be scaled up to help communities all over the world fund their development work.

I bought this book used from Powell’s Book Store in Portland, it is a bit beat up but I think that is fitting condition for this story.
I was lucky enough to meet Rudy Rucker at a DragonCon years ago. At the time I did not know who he was but he was on a panel with William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, and Anton Wilson talking about the future of the future. Out of all the panelist what he had to say the most interesting. Shortly after that panel I made my way through his Software, Wetware, Hardware books, along with a horror story that gave me a week of nightmares.
A couple of years later I found a book named “Gnarl!” which is full of short stories that combine fiction, science, and. Several of the stories I had to reread over and over again to feel like I understood them, a few I eventual gave up on ever understanding. I really enjoyed being challenged by those stories; it may have been the first time my mind was stretched in that way by a book of fiction. Good stuff.
The easiest way I can describe Hollow Earth is Tom Sawyer meets Edgar Allen Poe in a story written by Jules Vern. At its heart this is an adventure book about a boy in 1800’s America traveling with his boyhood companion who happens to be a family slave beginning in rural Virginia, making their way to Richmond, and then into the center of the Earth and back out the other side.
I enjoyed reading this book, but it did not draw me in the way other Rudy Rucker books have. The pacing was slow, the dialog did not always flow, it just didn’t work for me.
In 1836, Mason Algiers Reynolds leaves his family’s Virginia farm with his father’s slave, a dog, and a mule. Branded a murderer, he finds sanctuary with his hero, Edgar Allan Poe, and together they embark on an extraordinary expedition to the South Pole, and the entrance to the Hollow Earth. It is there, at the center of the world, where strange physics, strange people, and stranger creatures abound, that their bizarre adventures truly begin.
I rate this book a 5 out of 10 and recommend it to any fans of Rudy Rocker, for those unfamiliar with him I recommend reading Gnarl!
I put off reading this book for what felt like a long time. I heard a lot of negative things about it from various podcasts and blogs when it first came out and I figured I would read it later. After awhile coworkers were referring to passages of the book and quoting it a lot, so I decided I finally needed to read it.
I got it as an audiobook from Audible narrated by Dylan Baker and it took me two weeks to listen to all 25 hours of it. Mister Baker did a great job narrating the book, I really enjoyed his performance.
Walter Isaacson had unprecedented access to Steve Jobs, his family, his friends, employees at Apple, and a lot of other people in Steve’s life. I don’t think any author has ever had that kind of access to a person like Jobs.
The details in the book are amazing, if you have an interest in the history of Apple and want to know much of its history, then this book is for you. If you are looking for a memoir, I don’t that will ever happen. Steve Jobs just wasn’t that kind of person. Maybe he didn’t have the type of personality that would let him share many of his real emotions. And maybe he just didn’t have the emotions and feelings that many people do.
There is so much in this book, I am still processing a lot of it.
At the moment my favorite insight from the book is about how Jobs used prototypes and mockups to determine what would work best. It was done with the iPhone, iPad, and even the Apple stores. I hope companies everywhere listen to that, quick prototypes put in front of users and decision makers early and often will save time and money and lead to better products every single time.
I rate this book a 9 out of 10, anyone interested in biographies, computer history, Apple Computer, or Steve Jobs will absolutely love this book.
With the “new iPad”, aka iPad 3 I decided to give digital comic books a try. As a rule, comics and in fact any graphics that have enough resolution look amazing on the iPad 3, type is super crisp, colors are ultra-vibrant, and the detail is incredible.
After some research I decided to buy a subscription to the “Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited” which offers over 10,000 comics for an annual fee. Wow, that sounds great. But sadly it does not work on the iPad, in fact it requires Adobe Flash to work on any machine.
My next stop was “Comics” by Comixology, who also makes the mobile apps for most of the comic book publishers, which has a very cool feature called “Guided View(tm)” which zooms in and out around the comic to make reading easier. But with the new iPad and its incredibly hi-resolution screen I found all that unnecessary and prefer to view an entire page in portrait mode or “fit” the page width in landscape mode.
A great thing about Comixology is all of the free comics offered in their store. For the most part I am able to get enough free comics to satiate my desire to read comics. Even better, free comics have introduced me to some series I had never heard of before.
Another great aspect of Comixology is the large number of publishers that are available, they are not just limited to Marvel and DC but have comics from Archaia Entertainment, BOOM! Studios, DC Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, IDW Publishing, Image Comics and Marvel Comics which amounts to a great selection of genres and titles.
But Comixology does not make me happy, buying a ton of comics that I plan on reading once and never again doesn’t make sense to me, I do not want to be a collector, just a reader. I would rather rent my comics than buy them.
The cost of comics and graphic novels are out of control. It seems to me that they are priced for collectors and not for the masses to enjoy. Using The Walking Dead as an example, issues 1 through 48 are available in a compendium for $60 (currently $35.14 at Amazon), compared to the price of buying individual comics that is a bargain, but for someone like me who just wants to read them and not collect them it is a very steep price. Compared to the price of a novel, movie, or video game and it is outrageous.
Hopefully Comixology will have some type of subscription model worked out in the near future. I am really looking forward to it.

Flashback to the 1990s, when I was with the national carrier in the good old days, and we used to get to stay at the Juhu Centaur whenever we made any official trip to Mumbai to attend a training programme at our Staff College. We used to look forward to these trips because we Delhiwallahs could never get enough of the sea. Most people who live in land-locked places are in awe of the sea – at least I am.
I would always request for a sea-facing room, and each morning I would enjoy my morning cuppa just gazing at the sea, before leaving for class. Most evenings would find me strolling down to the beach and walking on the sand, enjoying the breeze and the view. The beach used to be crowded to the gills. There would be hawkers everywhere, hawking their goods, and resultantly, there would be a lot of litter too. Despite the crowds, and despite the litter, I still loved the sea. Each trip left me yearning for more.
Then times changed. I moved on to a new assignment. Although the frequency of my trips to Mumbai increased, the duration of these trips decreased. Most times I found myself returning back to Delhi the same day, or at the most the next day, without any opportunity to visit any beach. The only glimpse that I caught of the sea was from the aircraft window while landing or taking off, or from the cab while being driven to my office at Nariman Point. The sea was where it had always been, but the times had changed. I could see it each time but I no longer had the free time to enjoy it. I was paying the price of moving up the ladder in the corporate world.
Fast forward to 2017. Between the 90s and 2017, I did not get to visit the Juhu beach at all. However, I had an opportunity to visit Mumbai in February once again. I was scheduled to be there for work on a Monday & Tuesday, so I made it a point to arrive there on a Sunday afternoon. I checked into my hotel near the airport, and shortly after lunch, I was off to see my close friend Sunil, who lives in Juhu near the Hare Krishna Temple. I had at my disposal the whole afternoon and evening.
Having spent time with him and his family in the afternoon, I suddenly had this urge to visit the Juhu beach again. And so we took a stroll down the lane to the beach, which is barely about 500-600 meters away from where Sunil lives. Soon, I found myself looking at the sea. It was about 5.15 pm, the sun had not yet set, and the beach did not appear too crowded, though there was a steady stream of people coming and going. I was just about to step down from the concrete road on the path leading to the beach when I realized I wasn’t wearing appropriate shoes for the beach. Damn ! I had packed for work, and was wearing my formal shoes, and with meetings lined up for the next two days, I could not afford to get them messy. So I just stood there wondering what to do when Sunil suggested that we go into the park instead.
The park came to me as a surprise. I was here after years, and during all my trips in the 90’s, it just did not exist. Or at least, it wasn’t so developed in those days. I was told that the residents who lived in the housing societies nearby had all got together to develop this stretch of land as a park, complete with walking tracks and benches placed all around the length of the park. Now those who are familiar with Mumbai will know that space is at a premium in Mumbai, and there simply isn’t enough space to build a big park by the beach. So what we have there now, nevertheless, is a narrow stretch of land running by the sandy beach, elevated by about 4 to 5 feet, which has been converted into a park, and they have actually done a pretty decent job of it.
And so we strolled into the park, trying to find a vacant bench to sit on. This wasn’t such an easy task, considering that most benches were occupied by couples who were trying hard to avoid eye contact with people, lest anybody decided to come and sit with them to share their private space! Nevertheless, we did find one unoccupied bench and made ourselves comfortable. Thankfully, there was no direct sunlight falling on the bench, and the February breeze was cool and pleasant. It was then that I had a good look at the sea, and the memories of my trips in the 90’s came flooding back.
And yet, there was something different about the beach this time. The first thing that I noticed was that it wasn’t very crowded. Yes, there were lots of people around, but it wasn’t crowded to the gills, as I remember seeing it in the 90s. The hawkers were there too, but they were all located close to the entry point, and not scattered all over the beach. And the beach was cleaner – far cleaner than I recall seeing it years ago.
The bench where we sat was placed opposite some palm trees that run along the entire length of the park, which afforded us protection from the direct glare of the sun, and yet we got a great view of the sea. Looking at the shimmering expanse of the sea and the changing hues of the sky, I was mesmerized. The sun, which was still at a high point when we had arrived was slowly making its way down over the horizon. As it moved down gradually, the colour of the sea seemed to take on various shades of silver and golden intermittently.
I pulled out my phone and after years, clicked picture of the sun as it made its way down, loving each moment of it. It is only when you are deprived of something for years and then exposed to it once again that you realize what you had missed. I could just sit there and watch the sunset forever. Thankfully, Sunil and I are very comfortable with each other even in our silence, without feeling the need to make any small talk, and we sat there in perfect silence, taking in the views unfolding before us, with me clicking away like crazy to capture these moments forever. There was something truly remarkable about accompanying the sun on its sunset journey.
The evening ended too soon for me. We had sat there for almost two hours without even realizing how quickly the time had passed. It was only when the lampposts on the beach were lit that we realized it was getting dark. Ever so reluctantly, we got up and made our way back. But I was glad that I had taken the time to enjoy this brief moment by the seaside.
And then suddenly there was also the realization that for the entire time that we were there, I did not once think of work, or of anything else for that matter. It was just me, the sea, the breeze and the sunset. And a sense of peace and calm. How I wish I could do this again soon !
But perhaps I will, for I also realized that it is not so difficult to get away from work for a day, and clubbing some free time with a work trip works like therapy. Next time you need to travel for work, plan to get there a day earlier, or stay back a day after you finish work. Trust me, you will find it very refreshing. With that thought, I will leave you with some pictures of the wonderful sunset on Juhu Beach.

We understand that many of you prefer to get your contact lenses from online sources.
In New York, contact lens prescriptions expire after 1 year. Online contact lens suppliers will direct you to get an updated Rx if their records show your prescription is older than one year.
For those that are satisfied with their current contact lens prescription, this requirement can seem like a major inconvenience.
We offer contact lens Rx renewal at convenient times for those that are having no discomfort issues with their current contact lenses. A Smart Exam with our SVOne takes only a few minutes and will do a refraction to see if you need any change in prescription for clear vision. The remote Ophthalmologist will then email a copy of your updated RX to you.
The Smart Exam requires a photo of the packages of your existing contact lenses, so be sure to bring along the contact lens packages from your current lenses.

How Will Coty Revive Its Newly Acquired Brands?
In July, P&G accepted Coty's offer of $12.5 billion to merge 43 P&G beauty brands with Coty, creating vast new opportunities and innovation challenges. According to a recent analysis from Euromonitor, the deal gave Coty significant sales expansion in the Middle East and Africa, as well as Latin America. Meanwhile, its sales in Asia-Pacific are being tripled, though the analysis explains: "in such a large market it still ranks outside the top 25 beauty companies."
To succeed in North America and Western Europe, Coty will have to keep pace with premium beauty trends, "including exclusivity, personalization of product experience and more tailored solutions."
Changing beauty habits, both in developed and developing markets, continue to fuel the customization trend in global beauty. Although it is not a new trend, it has been rapidly evolving and constantly raising the bar for marketers. Consumers’ demands for tailored solutions vary across regions and categories and, strongly aided by digital technologies, are developing into individualization.
For emerging markets such as Latin America, the Euromonitor analysis advises that Coty ensure that its price tiers are aligned to "capture a side consumer base." This is especially important for the growing fragrance segment.

Before You Shop for Kitchen Cabinets, there are just a few things you should know about kitchen design.
DO leave a few inches of wall reveal at the end of a run of cabinets. Using every last inch of space tends to choke off traffic patterns and leads to “hip banging” and “head knocking”…do you know what I’m talking about? DO Look at your traffic patterns and how you use the kitchen.
DON’T believe that expensive means quality. Concentrate on the colors and functionality in your kitchen rather than the cost. Cabinets, Appliances, Flooring, Lighting can look great if you let the pocket book run wild but with a little effort and imagination you can have a great looking kitchen without breaking the bank.
DON’T try to make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear. Too often I see people who blow the remodel budget on appliances and are then left with cheap flooring and builder grade cabinetry. On average, a 10×10 kitchen remodel might see flooring around $800, appliances around $4000 plumbing/sink/faucets $600, cabinets $3500, counter tops $2500, install $1000, electrical/lighting $400.
DO budget your time as well as money. For a DIYer, a kitchen remodel can be quite a daunting task. Consider that you may be eating out a lot more often than normal. Sadly, I see professionals and DIYers behind schedule on a regular basis. I hate to remind a good repeat builder that their schedule is not my problem.
counter tops can range anywhere from .75″ to 2″ or more depending on the material. Typically, a designer or engineer will use 1.5″ to put the standard counter top surface at 36″ off of the “ff” (finished floor).
It is normal to leave 18″ between the counter top and the bottom of the wall cabinets.
