are far better than crop grown under conventional planting system because the parameters necessary for healthy plant growth are controlled under hydroponic system. Also, under hydroponic farming there are multiple planting seasons owing to the fact that all the growth parameters are being modified. Hydroponic farming is one of the best ways to conserve planting resources such as water, nutrient, planting space and others. A nutrient solution is made to supply necessary nutrients required for the plant growth. Though, it is technological based and that is the beauty of it because technology has really made things easy in this modern day.
Cost-wise, hydroponic farming is inexpensive and can be done using cheap or household tools; it can be done in any location provided the growth requirements are met.
• Planting medium: This serves the same purpose as the soil, this is where the plants are held and supported to bring about good growth. Perlite, Vermiculite, grave, small basket and Coconut Fiber are the common planting mediums used.
• Submerged pump: This is used to pump and supply nutrient solution to the growing medium for plant growth to take place.
• Air pump and air stones: These are used to supply air into the air stones. The air stones provide bubbles in the nutrient solution, thereby supplying oxygen to the plant roots.
• Reservoir: This is where the nutrient solution are housed.
The wick system is the simplest form of hydroponic system. The plants are grown on any of the growing mediums. Perlite, Vermiculite, Pro-Mix and Coconut Fiber are the common growing mediums used. The nutrient solution is always prepared in a reservoir and transported to the growing medium so as to reach the plant roots with the aid of a wick. The wick is placed in the nutrient solution which draws the nutrient solution to the growing medium to reach the plant roots.
The only set back of this system is that plants that are large or use large amounts of water may use up the nutrient solution faster than the wick(s) can supply it.
The water system is the simplest and common type of hydroponic, it is commonly used in the elementary school practical. It is commonly used to cultivate any water loving vegetables like cucumber and lettuce. It is very cheap to design and less technical. In water culture, the plant is made to float directly on the nutrients solution with the aid of a Styrofoam, which holds the plant firmly. An air pump is installed to supply air to the air stones that bubble the nutrient solution and supply oxygen to the roots of the plants.
The biggest setback of this system is that it doesn’t work well with large plants or with long term plants.
This is a system designed to temporarily flood the growing medium with the nutrient solution and then drain the nutrient solution back into the reservoir. This action is normally carried out with a submerged pump that is connected to a timer. The timer regulates the operation of the pump; when the timer turns the pump on, nutrient solution is pumped into the growing medium and when the timer is turned off, the pump goes off and the nutrient solution flows back into the reservoir. The timer is set to come on several times a day, depending on the size and type of plants, temperature and humidity and the type of growing medium used.
The problem of this system is that there is high risk of the roots drying out quickly due to the vulnerability of power outage and failure of the timer, which can lead to interruption of the water supply.
However, this problem can be mitigated by using growing media that is absorbent, that is; a medium that can retain more water, medium like Rockwool, Vermiculite, coconut fiber can serve this purpose well.
This is the most widely used hydroponic system in the world. It is simple and easy to use. It also operates with a submerged pump and a timer. In this system, the nutrient solution is pumped from the reservoir and dropped in the root zone of the plant in the growing medium using drip lines. In a Recovery Drip System, the excess nutrient solution that runs off is collected back to the reservoir for re-use, and doesn’t really requires timer for the nutrient solution regulation. The Non-Recovery System does not collect the run off, this requires a timer to control the supply of the nutrient solution, so that the supply cycles can be adjusted to ensure the plants get enough nutrient solution and the runoff is kept to a minimum.
This system allows the optimum use of the nutrient solution as it is highly utilized. In this system, there is a constant flow of nutrient solution, this eliminates the need for a timer to control the operation of the submersible pump. The nutrient solution is pumped into the growing medium (usually a tube) and flows over the roots of the plants; it later drains back into the reservoir. There is usually no growing medium used other than air but the crop is supported by a small plastic basket which makes the roots dangle in the nutrient solution. This saves the expense of replacing the growing medium after every crop.
The aeroponic system is the most technical type of hydroponic farming. It is similar to the nutrient film technique system as the growing medium is primarily air. The plants roots hang in the air and are misted with nutrient solution. The misting is usually done every few minutes. Because the roots are exposed to the air like the Nutrient film system, there is high possibility of the roots drying out rapidly if the misting cycles are interrupted. A timer is needed to control the nutrient pump much like other types of hydroponic systems, except the aeroponic system needs a short cycle timer that runs the pump for a few seconds every couple of minutes.
With this system, I can assure you of good and profitable yield; also, disease free crops of good quality. This is a good system farmers should employ.

Confusing and conflicting stories have been floated around about the dinner meeting between Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump last night which allegedly ended in a DACA agreement with no wall.
Nancy Pelosi ran out to the mic last night to say the agreement was reached to “enshrine” DACA into law. She added there would be added border security but there won’t be a wall.
It seemed that Trump was backing away from his pledge about amnesty and the wall. It was met with outrage and disbelief by Trump supporters.
None of it made sense. Trump is intelligent. Why would he turn off all of his supporters as he is about to launch a 14 state tour to sell his tax plan?
Bill O’Reilly said on his podcast this evening that the two Democrat leaders and the media did it deliberately to turn Trump’s followers against him. Both walked back their statements after Trump tweeted that no deal was reached.
So I went to bed last night at about 11 o’clock out here on the Left Coast. That’s two o’clock eastern. Everything was quiet, and I stayed up an additional half hour waiting to see if there was any breaking news. I mean, 10:30 West Coast time is 1:30 East Coast time, and there was nothing. I woke up… I went to bed and it was very, very peaceful. I wake up to all hell breaking loose! I said, “Is this is ever gonna end? Is there ever gonna be a normal day again?….No, no, no. I’m not talking about the hurricane. That’s actually going well.
Let’s trust President Trump. It would be nice if the Senate would do their job. Then Trump wouldn’t have to talk to Chuck and Nancy.

last week, I got to spend nearly an hour interviewing Jack Welch, the legendary former chairman and CEO of General Electric, in front of an audience of several thousand bankers from around the world. It was a fun and stimulating conversation that ranged from the toughest leadership challenge facing financial institutions (his answer: energizing rank-and-file employees, who used to be the “friendly neighborhood banker” and are now seen as responsible for the country’s economic mess) to the launch, in January 2010, of the Jack Welch Management Institute — basically, his version of the MBA.
Our conversation reminded me of what a force of nature this guy is — upbeat, informal, and truly original in his take on strategy, competition, and what makes business tick. My favorite theme of the conversation involved the relationship between size and strategy. The country is engaged in a debate about the policy hazards of institutions that are “too big too fail.” But at the level of management, I wondered, isn’t the problem that too many organizations are too big to succeed? I’ve become convinced that size itself is becoming less of an advantage and more of a curse. So I asked Welch: In a world where the Web levels the playing field, where customers expect organizations to be quick, responsive, and flexible, where new business models can overturn whole industries in a matter of a few years, is there a new relationship between size, strategy, and success? Are we moving to a world where small is not just beautiful, but powerful?
The former CEO of GE, the ultimate big-company leader, wasn’t buying it — although he made no excuses for waste, bureaucracy, and the other familiar shortcomings of so many corporate giants. Executives should want their companies to get bigger, he said. For one thing, it’s evidence that you’re winning in the marketplace. For another, it gives you the opportunity to bring in more people, which gives you access to more talent, which allows you to tap into more ideas, which you can then spread more widely — and start winning all over again. In other words, he made the case for size based not on market power but on brain power, which puts a lot of pressure on the talents of management. “I want to be big,” Welch said, “but then run the company like it’s the corner grocery store.” And there’s the rub — at least for big-company executives who aren’t as adept as Welch at tapping the idea-enhancing virtues of scale without suffering the mind-numbing costs.
Indeed, as the bureaucracy-busting Welch was urging bankers to run their institutions like mom-and-pop operations, I couldn’t help but think back to a widely reported story from earlier this fall that underscores just how rare that is. It’s a silly story, so extreme as to seem absurd — except that it speaks to just how disconnected big companies can get from their customers. A guy named Steve Valdez, from Tampa, Florida, wanted to cash a check at a Bank of America branch where his wife had an account. But because he didn’t have an account in his name (although he did have two forms of ID), bank policy required that he provide a thumbprint for anti-fraud purposes. There was just one problem: He was born without arms! The branch manager wouldn’t budge; he told Valdez that he could open his own account or return with his wife. Valdez, as you might imagine, was underwhelmed by the choices — and Bank of America’s stupidity quickly became big news. (My favorite headline: “No Thumbs, No Prints, No Service.”) Would the corner grocer do something like that?
Pete Carril, the Hall of Fame basketball coach, has a trademark expression that sums up the relationship between size and success. “The strong take from the weak,” he likes to say, “but the smart take from the strong.” If you can figure out, as Jack Welch did, how to add to your company’s muscles without atrophying its brain, then maybe you’re not too big to succeed. But most big-company leaders, who don’t share Welch’s fervor for staying close to customers, better figure out how to make their organizations smarter — or they will keep getting weaker.

Besides our history and cultural heritage, it is the Turkish cuisine that is one of our greatest richness. However, unfortunately, Turkish cuisine is one of the richest in the world, but is not adequately known internationally.
For instance, this sentence is not frequently used abroad: “Let us eat Turkish food tonight,” whereas in big cities around the world, the French, Italian, Spanish as well as Chinese and Japanese cuisines are all popular.
I have always thought that the state should act like a conductor for the promotion of our cuisine that has separate tastes in different regions. I have shared my thought with several top officials including former Culture and Tourism Minister Ertuğrul Günay because we know that the international promotion of famous cuisines including French and Italian are always supported by their state.
Despite the lack of required strategy for the promotion of the Turkish cuisine, there has been an interesting activity recently in our gastronomy world. Famous chefs as well as those cities that are known for their tastes are on the lead.
Chef Mehmet Gürs of one of Istanbul’s best restaurants Mikla has been able to make it to the top 100 restaurants of the world three years in a row. Mikla was 96th in 2015; it was 56th in 2016; and this year it is in the 51st place. Gürs is a chef who has created the “New Anatolian Cuisine” using local tastes of Anatolia, working with anthropologists from time to time.
The other day, while we were in the city for daily Hürriyet’s “Explore İzmir” tour, she said it was important to be a part of this network “because you pledge to carry out gastronomical projects, work on your culinary culture. Delice will enable the Aegean cuisine to meet the world.” As a matter of fact, the “Artichoke Festival” at İzmir’s Urla district has been held as part of Delice Network Good Food Cities.
İzmir seems to be ready to go international with its gastronomy that it has enriched for centuries with Sephardic and Levantine cuisines and the cuisine of the islands.
Another example is Gaziantep, from the other side of Turkey. This city has registered its “baklava” years ago; last year it was able to enter UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network in gastronomy. It is the ninth city to make it to this category in the world up to now.
Istanbul is a city where a gastronomy festival was held for first time in Turkey. The city is the center of where the Ottoman cuisine is best represented, also with tastes of Armenian and Greek cuisines. This festival is held under the name “Restaurant Week” between April 20 and May 8, when celebrations will be held at several restaurants. Famous chefs will offer menus with reasonable prices. On the other hand, this past weekend, “101 Tastes of Istanbul Festival” was held.
This month, the “Cappadox Festival” will be held between May 18 and 21 in Cappadocia, where gastronomy has a significant place alongside music and modern arts.
Thanks to those who made gastronomy enter all fields of our lives, I guess this time Turkish cuisine is ready to challenge the world.

SB Nation editor and professional suit-wearer Jon Bois runs a regular series of columns titled Sports Cards for Insane People that peeks into baseball's cardboard excesses of the 1980s and 90s. His most recent investigation plumbed the depths of Nolan Ryan oddballs and their casting call of plain blue hats, which featured two #5s.
Look closely and cringe: card editors added "BLEACHERS" to Ryan's hat with cheap digital tools, just before they blew money on 23K gold foil. Must've been a crazy post-production session.
Bleachers specialized in minor league cards, player-specific sets, and stamping gold foil on things. Lest they seem feckless and reckless, dozens of early 90s card makers competed in those same events. Don't know if any of them "won," but we lost.
Jon proposes this is the first time any card featured a real skull. I also wondered: is Nolan the first to wear riding chaps in what's nominally a baseball set? Check out his article for maximal insanity.

Personally, I love the Ninjago character-cards! In fact, I sometimes write down a list of the cards I plan on getting, and try to figure out my best and srtongest character from that. Believe me; it’s not an easy task! You can go to the LEGO Ninjago website to see the all the cards to find the ones you like, although they are sometimes a bit late adding the newest releases.
Although most of the Ninjago character-cards (and battle-cards) are very well done, there are a few that stand out from all the rest. My personal favorites are Jay, Cole, Jay ZX, and Kendo Cole – at least from the ones I already have. Other awesome characters that I do not have include Chokun, Bytar, Jay NRG and Kai NRG – although unfortunately the NRG ninja have very poor SP (5 of their element and 4 of another); only 900 total! Currently Kai ZX is my best character, and the one I play with the most.
💡 TIP: it’s a good idea not to use a character if they can’t play Chill Charge or Flash’n’Burn – unless of course, you don’t have Chill Charge or Flash’n’Burn at all and don’t really have a choice.
Since I have Backup Plan card (reshuffle all your cards – and I take that to mean reshuffle Backup Plan as well), I use only my best battle cards – about 25. After all, unless your opponent has the Falcon Eye card (look at your opponent’s cards and discard the one you want) – you have a never-ending fund of cards. Fortunately, I only know two people with the Falcon Eye card – and one of them is me!
Some of the best cards are Total Recall (give up your character’s headgear, and trade all of your weapons with your opponent – even if they have three and you have one), Backup Plan, Sensei’s Red Card (cancel your opponent’s just played card), Deflection (give up your character’s headgear to cancel your opponent’s card and play it back against them), Recovery (retrieve your headgear/arm), and Falcon Eye. There are some other excellent cards (which I won’t explain) like Whip Attack, Boomerang, Bite Back, Recharge, Chill Charge, Crown of Lightning, Lazy Ninja, and most trap or scroll cards.
It certainly does – although I think chill charge might actually be better, since it’s not golden.
chill charge and flash’n’burn are great for use on NRG ninja – add 300 sp to the elements they don’t have any sp in. My fav spinner is Cole ZX’s. Btw i also own falcon eye.
Ninjago card for the win! I don’t care much for building sets but cards? You betcha! I have 32 battle cards, and a 8 character cards. Cole ZX is my favorite.
I was actually wrong – I have 77 cards total and 60 battle cards.
I have 9 caracter cards and 36 battel cards!
A pretty good variety. Going to get more snake spinners soon!
I have backup plan, but when you draw four new cards, do you also shuffle used cards?
I agree, Avalanche is a really good card, especially for the amount of SP. All the trap cards are good, but they usually ahve higher SP. And avalanche isn’t even golden!
Guess what, the weapons pack on amazon now costs $34.95! And that was last time i saw it! The price keeps on going up.
Something is wrong with my commenting. ↑?
Gateway Guardian – Scroll – Spin from opposite sides at same time through gate of two cards. If successful, reclaim weapon. 200 Ice.
In the lego may-june magazine it shows a pic of NRG cole and fangdam spinners!
But i was wondering, will the sets be realesed and show in the magazine in July?
Should it not come out in july because every two months there is a new magazine, so next magazine will show the summer sets?
It should – at least in theory. Most likely that’s the way it will work.
that’s almost exactly the same amount I have!

Today I want to share with you all the lovely 'Oakwood Soaperie', a bath and body care company which I came across this week, whilst I was attending a Summer fair at Brancepeth castle. Oakwood Soaperie was established in 2010 by Ceri Aitman (who also makes all of the products which are available!) and is based in the heart of the North East countryside in the Gibside Estate. They have a wide range of super lovely, luxurious soap bars infused with natural plant fragrances and butters, bath oils and salts, as well as bath bombs and bubble bars to take your bath from relaxing, to sensationally relaxing and luxuriously indulgent!
All of the products come wrapped in lovely recycled, handmade or waxed paper and adorned with ribbons and ingredients labels, which to me is a lovely finishing touch which makes all the difference. If you are looking for a nice gift for a friend/relative and are unsure what to get, why not check out Ceri's website here and get the prezzies delivered to your door!
The soaps come in a wide array of fragrances, from 'Mint and Seed' and 'Cinnamon Fig', to 'Restful Slumber' which aids a good night's sleep!
The soaps look and smell AMAZING, which is all down to the use of tip-top ingredients and Ceri's curing process which lasts between 4-6 weeks, to ensure the soaps are mild and kind to sensitive skin.
Another thing which I really like about Oakwood Soaperie is that it is an animal testing free zone, and many of the products are also vegan friendly, which makes it ethically good for everyone!
I don't know about you, but I had never heard of solid body butter bars until I saw them here and they sound great, ideal for holiday as it is small and compact, and will not leak either! Win, win!
I bought a Northumbrian Honey, goat's milk and oat bath bomb which is ideal for sensitive skin.
If you'd like to follow Oakwood Soaperie, you can on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram! There is even a blog! Be sure to check our Ceri's online shop - you might just find the perfect gift or treat for yourself!

Gay and bisexual men who connect with others primarily online are more likely to be single, closeted, and have higher HIV stigma compared to men who connect mainly in-person, according to a study released last week.
The Momentum Health Study, a longitudinal survey of 744 gay and bisexual men in Vancouver, Canada, asked men about their participation in online and offline venues like gay bars, dating apps, community groups, etc. From this data, researchers found that there are patterns in ways folks connect with others in the community.
The results from the study show that men can be classified into three categories based on their patterns of connectedness. About 26% of men primarily connected to others through in-person interactions (“Traditionalists”), 35% of men primarily connected to others online (“Techies”), and 39% of men were highly connected to others both online and in-person (“Socialites”).
Between these three groups of men, there were significant differences in sexual behavior and HIV/STI prevention. Compared to Traditionalists, Techies were almost 20% more likely to have been tested for HIV in the past two years and 18% more likely to ask sexual partners about their HIV status. On average, Techies reported twice as many sexual partners in the past 6 months.
Although Techies were more likely to take care of themselves through regular HIV testing and communication about STIs, they also scored 14% higher than Traditionalists on the HIV stigma scale. This scale was based on men’s agreement with statements such as “HIV-negative men treat a guy differently when they know he is HIV- positive.” This finding shows that it’s possible to practice healthful prevention strategies (e.g. HIV testing) while simultaneously holding attitudes that stigmatize HIV-positive individuals.
Kiffer Card, a doctoral student at Simon Fraser University and lead author of the study, emphasized that these findings may help public health professionals better understand the communities they are working within. He highlighted that community organizations who specialize in HIV and STIs, for example, should be mindful of patterns of HIV stigma as they conduct outreach to different segments of the LGBTQ community.
In recent years, there has been plenty of discussion among gay and bisexual men regarding the impact of dating apps and websites on the community. This study demonstrates that the ways gay and bisexual men connect with their communities – either online or offline – are associated with their HIV stigma, partner count, and HIV/STI testing behavior.
As Card points out, these findings only scratch the surface on the importance of community for gay and bisexual men. Future studies in this area need to continue monitoring patterns of community connectedness to make HIV and STI prevention services more accessible for folks often left out and marginalized.

August is the month of the world famous Kandy Perahera. It climaxes this year on the Full Moon day of Tuesday 20 August with the evening parade of whip crackers, fire dancers, jugglers and elephants, including one bearing a casket containing the revered Buddha’s tooth (or a replica of it).
In 1592, the sacred tooth relic (that had arrived in the island in AD331) was brought to Kandy. Its presence confirmed Kandy as the capital of the island, in spite of the presence of the Portuguese on the littoral. In 1658, when the Portuguese were ousted by the Dutch, the kingdom was able to co-exit, albeit uneasily, with the new occupiers. The British, however, wanted the island in its entirety and conquered Kandy in 1815. Signs of the British presence can still be seen in colonial buildings.
While the Temple of the Tooth is on the itinerary of every visitor to Kandy, many only have time for a day trip there. It’s possible. I started at the Travel Information Centre in the Kandy City Centre, a new air-conditioned shopping mall in the main street, Dalada Veediya, a 10-minute walk into town from the railway station.
There a young lady with a winsome smile of welcome that seems typical of young Kandyan belles, spoke enthusiastically of all I could see in one day. She marked the sights, opening times and admission prices on a street map and, armed with this, I set off.
It was a short walk up Dalada Veediya to the embankment surrounding Kandy’s king-made lake. I declined an offer of a 20-minute boat trip around the lake for Rs2,500 and instead paid Rs1,000 entrance fee to visit the Temple of the Tooth.
On leaving the temple, I turned right then right again up the road running parallel to the temple park and was confronted by the extraordinary sight of The Prince of Wales Fountain. Rich in Rococo cherubs, some of which have lost their heads, and floundering cast iron fish, this was erected ‘by the coffee planters of Ceylon’ to commemorate the visit to Kandy of the Prince of Wales in 1875. No longer majestic, and no longer spouting water, it remains a tribute to the Victorian foundry man’s art.
Close to it along the Deva Veedya is another steadfast reminder of the British presence, St Paul’s Church built in 1846. Some 200m from the church is the Garrison Cemetery, containing graves of 19th century Britons, including Sir John Doyly, a pioneering British government official who learned and spoke Sinhalese fluently.
The cemetery borders the Udawattakele Royal Forest Sanctuary but since it would take a long time to walk uphill to its entrance, I took a three-wheeler. This patch of tropical rain forest surviving from when it was part of the Royal Palace complex, is delightfully lush and a contrast to the heat of the city. Admission was Rs622, and I longed to linger longer.
However, there was much more to see. The young lady at the tourist office had recommended a walk to the site of the Bahirawakanda Buddha Statue that overlooks the town. Instead I took another three-wheeler (Rs600 there and back) as the climb up narrow roads would probably have taken me the whole day. The statue exudes an air of peace and commands a magnificent view of the town, the lake and the golden dome of the Temple of the Tooth.
Back to town for lunch, at The Royal Bar & Hotel, a licensed tavern since 1860 and now stylishly modernised with no hint of boutique snobbery. It has a public bar with a black & white tiled floor and a teak and mirror display cabinet, a first floor restaurant with a 1930s ambience and a cobbled courtyard café.
The charm of the place is its mix of clientele; Kandyans popping in for a quick snifter and chat with friends, expat residents gossiping and tourists gaping at the memorabilia and welcome friendliness of the ambience.
After lunch of spicy prawns, Rs600 [£ 3] I hit the shops. On the way back to the railway station, I was delighted to discover, where a fountain spouts underneath the roundabout at the end of Dalada Veediya, underground kiosks selling saris and souvenirs.
Scraped from the bark of the cinnamon tree, shaped and dried into quills, cinnamon was one of the spices that attracted the Portuguese to Sri Lanka. Although its export is no longer a prime income earner, cinnamon is still grown in Sri Lanka where it is a prime ingredient in Sri Lankan cuisine.
At home, I use a bunch of cinnamon quills as a table decoration, seen here in a basket made from dried creepers fashioned from the kithul palm tree. I bought that for Rs440 [£ 2.20] from the famous Paradise Road emporium of cute things in Colombo.
The quills came from a cinnamon peeler on the west coast and cost the equivalent of £5. Apart from its decorative statement it’s attractive for the faint aroma that wafts around the parlour. I have noticed, though, that the quills are getting shorter, as my houseboy has taken to breaking off and nibbling a piece occasionally. It’s surprisingly sweet.
Just as the way people drive in Sri Lanka can seem crazy to those used to British or European standards, the road signs here are equally bizarre. I saw these two on a recent road trip, warning of elephants and iguanas crossing.

You have so much to look forward to and we have given you ample indication with a picture of where you are heading. Time and time again we have informed you that the old energy is dead and you are no longer bound by its dictates, and have relative freedom to choose your own path to Ascension. It therefore follows that matters develop according to the activities taking place on Earth, although encouragement is given to keep you pointed in the right direction. Out of the apparent chaos and uncertainty that presently exists, there are changes taking place to create a basis for a new way of looking at things with a view to achieving permanent peace on Earth.
You cannot achieve total peace overnight as there was and still is much that needs uplifting. Be assured however, that although it has been difficult to dislodge the dark Ones and their minions, good progress is being made and things should really start to slot into place from the time of a revaluation of the currencies. It remains the key to the commencement of many advantageous and welcome changes that are ready to be introduced. Much happens out of sight, and for many reasons is kept secret for safety reasons as the dark Ones are everywhere but not all of them present a danger to the plans for your freedom.
To many peoples surprise President Trump is still in office, and that is because he is making changes that are necessary for the future of not just the USA but the world. It may not seem apparent on the face of it and some of his decisions have caused much concern. But come a time when people look back at his term in office, they will agree that he helped bring in necessary changes that have benefitted the world. Some have not been well received but you have to give sufficient time for the benefits to be appreciated. Major changes nearly always cause much objection and that will always be the case, until the full effects can be fairly judged.
Understand that the appointments of those who handle immense power and wealth are now “helped” by the unseen who have a complete picture of the future, and use their influence to guide mankind. As always the final decision is yours, so ensure that the right people are in power that have your wellbeing at heart and not self-aggrandisement. In the last Age many recent appointments were made simply to promote self-greed and personal power. That time has now passed and the best people will be the ones in office that are able to lead you into a new era of joy and happiness. The future is bright and planned to give you a way of life that you are entitled to without the threat of war.
Be assured that every soul has a certain degree of influence where the future is concerned. There is a collective energy that has an effect far greater than you can possibly imagine, and it is becoming more positive as time passes. Already it has moved beyond the “war” influence, although those with vested interests in selling weaponry, normally to both sides are still hoping for World War Three. Be assured dear Ones that it has been decreed by the Ancient Ones who oversee your progress, that it will not be allowed. You only have to go back a short time to know that when the silos were on red alert and ready to release their nuclear weapons, they were all made inoperative. That has happened more than once and hopefully the message has now sunk in, that nuclear war will not be allowed – never again.
Humans have a habit of looking outside of themselves when things go wrong, and clearly not all problems are necessarily related to their actions. However, some are brought upon them through earlier actions that have incurred a karmic response. So when you question what you have done to deserve problems, realise that nothing of any importance to you happens by chance. The circumstances may appear so, but those who organise karma have to take opportunities as they come up. Often it involves other people and it is not always easy to get them to come together for that purpose. Some situations are so involved that you find it hard to believe that it is pre-arranged.
Yet they are to the extent that even the outcome is intended to comply with the lessons to be learnt. You could say that your Guides work overtime to ensure karma is cleared. Your evolution depends on lessons being learnt, that are repeated if you fail the first time around until you do. Realise that karma can be carried forward from one life to another and sometimes it is because you are more able to cope with it. A sensitive issue would be the break-up of a relationship, and even that is planned in advance where lessons are learnt by all involved. So the message is to take your life experiences seriously and do your best to learn from them, and you will not have to go through such experiences again.
Although you have been seriously held back, in the long run you will not miss out as once the dark Ones can no longer interfere with your evolution, withheld inventions and advancements will be released. It will be done in such a way that you are not overpowered and are allowed to become familiar with the changes that are more personal. Clearly you will soon take to easier and faster forms of travel, and the constant availability of all the things you need for day to day survival. Furthermore there will come a time when you will be sufficiently powerful and knowledgeable, to create all of your needs by the power of your thought.
Travel will become almost instantaneous, much like stepping into a cabinet that you program with your destination, and when you step out you will have arrived. Mention of these advancements is to let you know that the old problems will eventually be put behind you. With extended life and the ability to keep your body in its youthfulness, you will have ample time to fully enjoy it in the higher vibrations. Not least of all travel outside of the Solar System will also be possible. All things come in good time and nothing will be allowed to interfere with your progress and development.
By keeping your focus on what the future will bring, you are helping to draw it nearer to fruition. It will also move your attention away from the last Age, and able to forget the difficulties and problems you faced for millennia of time. There is no point or advantage in holding on to your previous experiences. The important thing is that you will have learnt from them and have no further need of them.

NEW DELHI: Buying cleaning liquids for ‘Swachh Bharat’ as part of corporate social responsibility or taking a business associate out for lunch, companies will be able to set off all taxes paid on their consumption of goods and services when they clear their own GST liability.
The upcoming indirect tax reform seeks to revamp the entire credit process, allowing credit for any tax paid towards the furtherance of business barring a few items.
“Uninterrupted and seamless chain of input tax credit is one of the key features of GST, which will prevent cascading of taxes,” a government official said on condition of anonymity.
This will bring down the incidence of taxation on business, which can be shared with consumers through lower prices.
Goods and services tax (GST), India’s most ambitious indirect tax reform, is set to roll out from July 1.
Tax charged by central and state governments would also be part of the same tax regime with credit available for tax paid at every stage for set off against GST liability.
“Any registered person can avail credit of tax paid on the inward supply of goods or services or both which is used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of business,” the provision reads.
Under the current tax regime, if a retailer purchases a refrigerator to store perishable goods, he is not able to claim credit for tax paid on it. But under GST, he will be able to claim credit for tax paid on new refrigerator when he files his own taxes.
Similarly, credit could be claimed on tax paid on taking business associates out for lunch, or on goods or service used for corporate social responsibility. There are some exceptions, such as contribution towards employee provident fund and car lease, which are not covered under input tax credit.
“Under GST, input credit is available on all business expense except few that are specifically denied, such as employee benefits and construction,” said Pratik Jain, leader, indirect tax, at PwC.
“This is much more liberal than the current laws and would significantly increase the credit pool for the businesses,” he said.
“One would hope that authorities will interpret the law also liberally as this would need in change in mindset both for the industry as well as the government,” Jain said.
There is a pass through available for tax paid on a good or service consumed to ensure that tax is not levied on tax.

It is not a novel idea and it doesn’t take a PhD to know that children have a better opportunity to succeed in life when they have someone to support and encourage them. Ideally, that person is the child’s parent.
Sometimes, however, that role is filled by a volunteer Guardian ad Litem. The difference?
A volunteer Guardian ad Litem is court-appointed to children who have been abused or neglected by their parents or other caregivers.
The Department of Social Services has become involved with the family and a family court case has been opened.
We would like to thank the Lancaster County Community for once again supporting United Way of Lancaster County in our “Stuff the Bus” school supply drive. Special thanks to Frank Overcash for allowing the recreation departments in the county serve as drop off sites, to Heath Springs Dental Associates, who also served as a collection site, and to P&G Duracell for setting up a drop-off site for their employees.

Cameron's 'big society' crusade is barely progressing, supporters admit.
In a painful piece of timing, the comments come as the prime minister tried to reboot the coalition with a heavily-publicised mid-term review highlighting the achievements of the government.
But Stephen Bubb, head of the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations, which represents 2,000 charities, said the aims behind the 'big society' were barely progressing.
"As prime minister, you described building a 'big society' as your 'great passion' and 'central to my vision for our country'," he wrote.
ESRC: Countryside bearing the burden in "Big Society"
"You spoke eloquently of your desire to reform public services, with a significantly greater role for charities."
He added: "The mood music across Whitehall has been that reform is off the agenda. The reality many charities now face is crippling spending cuts."
The reform of public services was "glacially slow" in many areas, he said.
Speaking on the Today programme, he added: "There is huge frustration amongst charity leaders that these ideas about reforming public services don't seem to be going anywhere."
Many campaigners on the left criticised Cameron's 'big society' platform as euphemism for cuts to state spending.
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams described it as "aspirational waffle designed to conceal a deeply damaging withdrawal of the state from its responsibilities to the most vulnerable."
Meanwhile, many on the right thought it was a flimsy idea which did not resonate with voters and cost the Tories seats at the last election.

Our journey across the Pacific came to an end one week ago when we entered Danang Harbor, Viet Nam and moored alongside the newly constructed deep-water piers to off-load cargo. It was much easier alongside the piers, as I understand last year all cargo was first loaded into our boats and then transferred to land. Our hatch crews made a fast job of it, and we were off to Okinawa early the next morning.
Two days in Okinawa afforded us the chance to get ashore and see the sights of the Island made famous by the major sea and WWII battles fought there during World War II. While the living standards on Okinawa are the highest in the area of the world our crew saw how fortunate we Americans are in terms of housing, food supply, and schooling. Our hatch crews worked the Ship's booms around the clock for two days to load our new cargo. We rotated as often as possible, but the work was hard and I appreciated the truly great effort that everyone put into their job.
It was a short two-day jaunt between Okinawa and Sasebo, Japan. We will be here for several days of upkeep and re-supply. It will also afford us the opportunity to see Japan. Nowhere are the people more genuinely friendly the culture more fascinating and the scenery more beautiful.. We will have several tours of the area, organized by our special services officer, and no doubt, some divisional parties will be held.
If you were watching the weather reports lately, you may know that two typhoons were in the area. Typhoon Annie crossed our path between Danang and Okinawa about 350 miles ahead of the Ship. Billie was 450 miles distant when we left Okinawa. The weather has continued to be calm and hot.
I can assure you that the ship will do it's most to steer clear of any disturbance, as we continually receive accurate reports of all storms in the South China Sea.
I want to congratulate those of you who have been writing your loved ones on board so often and urge you to continue doing so. Everyone can hardly wait for the word "Mail Call" to be passed when we reach port. Keep the letters coming. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have written expressing your appreciation of our Family Gram. We are glad that they are so well received.

Is there any way to install these to with with vs2017? The first time I extracted these to the project template folders, they didn’t show up in create new project section. Then I realized that they were structured differently than the ones that the instructions told me to download as I downloaded the older versions (7-7) that worked for me.
In the meantime some of the templates have changed. The effort was too high to create a new template each time, which integrates into the Templates folder. If there are no more changes to the templates, I will create one again for integration. Until then you have to copy the project folder and adapt the name to your project. As I already described it in this thread.

Fishing for Prawns at the Huka Prawn Park.
Today we are checking out the Huka Prawn Park in Taupo! If you like this video and want more 365 Days: 365 Activities in New Zealand then simply head over to our epic YouTube Channel!
And then we are heading just next door to the Huka Prawn Park.
Previously on Day 298 part 1 of New Zealand’s biggest Gap Year, we took a jet boat to go super close to the furious Huka Falls. Those are the most raging waterfalls in New Zealand and by going there by jet boat we got a unique look at them. Then we had a thrill ride back to the base and we are now heading to the next activity of our day, which is the Huka Prawn Park.
Located right next door to the jet boat it was just too tempting to pass.
I think it’s prawn o’clock.
That was awkward. Moving on we are joining, one of the guided tours that they do here at the Huka Prawn park which goes on every hour.
We lean about how the Huka Prawn Park takes geothermal water from the geothermal park next door so it’s the perfect temperature to keep these prawns in a nice warm environment.
The perfect place to check out what these little prawns look like up-close is in the aquarium and actually to be honest, this is the first time I’m seeing a prawn actually alive and walking usually they’re food on my plate. Prawns are actually fascinating creatures, we’re learning loads about their lifecycle from our guide, Rob, and to look at they are so fascinating they even have these blue long arms with pincers on the end and big googly eyes. They’re really fun to look at.
After that we move onto the nursery this is where the prawns are being raised. They start as really little water being and then they become those really big stuff that you see on your plate. Rob is telling us all about their life cycle as well as the effort they make here throughout the whole process. But despite, the fact that Rob is a wealth of knowledge about those prawns, we can’t help but play with those underwater telescopes it’s really cool to see what happens underneath the water. those tools are really awesome. We then move onto different tanks and that allows us to see prawns at two different stages of their lives. we see them as adolescents we see them as adults and Rob along the way tells us absolutely fascinating facts about those prawns.
The best bit about this room in my opinion is when we get to hand feed the prawns so Rob is giving everyone a little bit of food to put into the palm of their hand and then we need to lower it really slowly into the water about elbow deep and wait for the prawns to come.
At first I don’t get much luck but soon enough the prawns start to come and it’s actually really hilarious watching these little guys taking the food with their arms and sort of scurrying away afterwards.
But now that we’ve fed the prawns it’s time for the prawns to feed us so the next thing we’re learning how to do is to go and fish for prawns ourselves.
Like I said, throw it in, now you want the tip of your rod just above the water.
One of the main staples of fishing for prawns is extreme patience and that really worries me because I already know that normal fishing is about patience and I have none of it. But Rob is giving us a few extra tips before sending us out in the wild, not really, in some of the outdoor basins, where we’re gonna be fishing for prawns ourselves.
Along the way, to our fishing spot there’s plenty to distract us like a trout feeding station, bush walk, geothermal foot bath and this kind of contraption.
If you want to go straight into the fishing you’ll be able to grab all your gear here you guys will be able to get straight into it.
So we’ve got our fishing rods, we’ve got our bait, now it’s time for us to find the perfect prawn fishing spot. And there’s actually quite a lot of spots to choose from there’s loads of different jetties with umbrellas to stay under the shade there’s even fishing boats but for Robin and I we sit ourselves under a nice little cabbage tree on a rock and wait for the prawns to come.
No seriously, no joke, it’s actually coming, we’re gonna get a prawn. Any time… I’m not joking… There are prawns in this little lake. Something’s gonna bite. Something has to bite right?
Nope, nothing did bite for the entire afternoon. We are terrible prawn fishers.
Laura and I are not getting much eh. Are you getting anything.
We’re going home with an empty bucket and empty stomachs.
We are losers. We are prawn losers.
When we enter we are greeted by Shawn the Prawn who gives me a hug and then I realise that I took look like ‘m dressed like a prawn today so I feel like I will feel right at home here at the Huka Prawn Park.

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by BigDreamer, Sep 4, 2013.
Samsung has unveiled it's first smart watch! What do you think of it? Do you want one?
It was unveiled in Berlin I think, so it's not even available here yet.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear is sure an awesome gadget to own, along with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. However, it is very expensive, which costs about $299. I don't think I will ever buy one because it is too expensive.
I think that watch is so ugly and l love technology, I said to someone couldn't they have made it round and sleek, l just think it looks chunky and l'm wondering if they will come out with better designs.
The watch is bulky and ugly. Plus it needs to rely on your phone for a connection, which is only going to drain the battery of your phone even faster. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of these. That's like walking around with two cell phones - what is the point?
Yes, the technology is very cool. I believe there is a Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 coming out in the first quarter of 2014. I hope it gets better and looks less bulky.
I didn't know samsung was coming out with a smart watch, but it figures, they have to give apple a little run for there money. I hope it does well.
I have to say that I've been seriously considering a smart watch. Maybe not the Samsung Gear, but something like the Motorola or LG offering, which looks like it could be a nice watch. Until it does cool things.
I originally wanted a Jawbone Up, but seeing as smart watches are actually not that much pricier and do so much more, well why would you still get a wearable that wasn't a smart watch?

J.J. Abrams Says Goodbye To Remakes! What's Next?
Say it isn’t so! J.J. Abrams directed ‘Mission: Impossible III’ a film in a franchise loosely based on a TV show from the 1960s (and continues to executive produce the franchise), before going on to strike gold with big screen reboots/sequels for ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Star Wars’. Most recently, he’s serving as executive producer for HBO’s buzziest show, ‘Westworld’, another project based on a property from the past, a 1973 film.
But no more. Abrams has had his fill with reinventing past properties for modern audiences. He’s more interested in creating new work, that hopefully someone years down the line will remake for an even newer audience.
Abrams has been on quite a role with his reboots and sequels, so he knows how to do one right. He cautioned against simply remaking something the way it was before. (Something Hollywood might want to pay attention to before we get another ‘Footloose’ or *shudder* ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’.
Pretty sage words, if you ask me. Keep in mind, Abrams hasn’t only been involved with sequels. He had produced many TV series from ‘Felicity’ to ‘Alias’, ‘Lost’, ‘Revolution’, ‘Fringe’, ‘Almost Human’ and ‘Person of Interest’, just to name a few, plus movies like ‘Super 8’ and the two ‘Cloverfield’ films.
Are there any of Abrams’ original properties that you think might make for a good reboot at some point?
Are you sad that Abrams doesn’t want to take on any more reboots?

Here at MSNL, we’re always looking for ways to improve the service we offer to our customers. We’re happy to be able to tell you that we’ve just made it even easier for you to pay for your seeds by adding support for Bitcoin to our site. Bitcoin is a unique payment method in that it was designed for the digital economy and hence has been widely adopted by internet retailers and their customers. It offers many advantages over traditional payment methods.
We always aim to keep our prices as low as possible, but the fees charged by long-established payment services are outside our control. These companies have shareholders who need to be kept happy and the price they charge for their service reflects this. Bitcoin, by contrast, is open-source and has minimal processing costs, which means that their fees are substantially lower than any traditional payment scheme. Because of this, we are able to offer a discount of 10% on purchases made with Bitcoin and we’ll also be having occasional flash sales with up to 30% off!
These days companies seem to want more and more data about everything we do and the general explanations are either that it’s for our safety or that it’s so they can serve us better. The cynical might wonder if the requests were more to do with targeted advertising than anything else.
While large organizations are generally at pains to reassure us that they keep our data safely, actually in reality, it’s been shown that a number of well-known organizations have had serious data breaches. Looking at newspaper headlines, you might be forgiven for thinking that the U.S. was the worst country in the world for data security, but it’s worth noting that the U.S. has very strict laws which require companies to disclose data breaches. In many other c ountries, including the UK, it’s much easier for companies to cover up IT security incidents. Notwithstanding this, many household names have been caught out including government departments such as HMRC, financial services companies such as Tesco Bank and Nationwide and a whole long list of major retailers from Morrisons supermarket, to Three Mobile, TalkTalk and TMobile. In some cases, the incidents were outright theft, in other cases it was carelessness, such as using real data on test sites and in others staff actively colluded with criminals.
In short, if you value your privacy and want to avoid issues with your bank account and payment cards being compromised or more serious issues of identity theft, your best approach is to keep your personal data private as much as you possibly can. Bitcoin understands this and has therefore been designed to allow transactions to take place securely without the need for personal data to be transmitted and/or stored.
Some of you may have read articles about Bitcoins losing value after they have been purchased. There is some truth in this because Bitcoin is essentially the new digital currency and all currencies fluctuated in value to some extent, even from one day to the next. If, however, you’re just buying the Bitcoins you need for immediate use, then there is absolutely zero risk involved. You’re only at risk if you intend to buy and hold Bitcoins over the long term, in which case their value can go down (and up), but that is true of absolutely any currency.
Probably the best place to start is at localbitcoin.com where you will be able to see who trades in your area. There are always plenty of online offers and unless you live somewhere really remote, there is a good chance that you will be able to buy Bitcoin for cash if you wish. You will also need a wallet in which to store the Bitcoin, even if only for a few minutes. If you buy Bitcoin from an exchange (basically a marketplace for Bitcoin) then you will probably be provided with one. If you choose to buy Bitcoins from a personal seller, you can easily set yourself up with one. Just look on bitcoin.org for a list and choose the one which best meets your needs.
Bitcoin wallets are available in a variety of forms from web based (allowing you to access them from anywhere on any device) to paper, for many people app-style wallets are the best choice as you can use them from your preferred mobile device, giving you flexibility, but the fact that they are restricted to a particular device gives you a bit more security, particularly if you use and anti-virus on your device and follow good security practice such as being careful what you download and always updating apps promptly.

When I ranked the Top 40 NFL wide receivers a month ago, I noted that Pierre Garcon was the engine that made the Washington Redskins' offense go last season.
Garcon, who isn't a prototypical go-to receiver, brings major injury red flags and has been plagued by drops at times. But how many wide receivers have a greater influence on their teams' fortunes?
The Redskins went 9-1 with Garcon in the lineup, as opposed to 1-5 when he was sidelined by a foot injury. The only loss was to the Atlanta Falcons in a game when Garcon clearly was playing on one foot, and the Redskins held a lead before Robert Griffin III exited with a concussion.
Garcon never has been reliable or well-rounded enough to join the ranks of the NFL's legitimate No. 1 receivers, but his playmaking ability is undeniable. There aren't more than 20 players in the league capable of consistently stretching defenses, beating double teams and making plays after the catch.
With Garcon in the lineup, role players such as Josh Morgan (blocking specialist), Aldrick Robinson (situational deep threat), Santana Moss (slot receiver) and Leonard Hankerson (professional enigma) can concentrate on what they do best. When Garcon is out of the lineup, that group inevitably is stretched beyond its means, leaving the Redskins' passing game with no semblance of playmaking ability.

I tried many apps claiming to do what this one actually does. Even works on Pokemon go so my girl likes it to. I use it for social media and the wargame I play so I am two bases at the same time. Now the enemy doesn’t have a chance. I’ma hard critic and this may be the only good review I’ve ever written. A 5 second add every day is well worth it.
Overall I like this app. I use for gaming apps. Very easy to use, but it does give some apps the ability to give more notifications than I prefer. I did have one issue, and I can’t prove it was from this app. I added a Google account to the app, so I could run a second account on a game, and within 24 hours, I received an alert from Google stating they had blocked someone, in Brazil, who had my password and was trying to access my account. Again, I can’t prove it, but it’s the only place I used that Gmail account.
Hi I love your app but I’ve left one star because of an urgent matter. I am unable to open the app and it goes to a black screen ever since the oreo update on my samsung s7 edge. I use parallel space for wechat and I use this wechat as an e-wallet and am unable to acces my money . Thank you for your help.
it really serves to clone the apps and is separate from the legit original apps. The downside are: 1. the notification is not right on time 2. the app needs to be open for the notification to pop or update. 3. worst, even if you open the app it closes or shut downs itself making it difficult to get notifications on time. Aside from those, 4. the app drains the battery so fast.
The whatsapp stopped working. I tried reinstalling the app and register for whatsapp again but it keeps crashing… All my chat history gone… I sent feedback several times but no reply yet… Don’t waste your time and money on this app!
Very Good app to hold various account parallels. But makes few changes like 1. it is very slow to use so make it fast. 2. reduce adds for free version. 3. When we open any virtual app through shortcut the Parallel space app automatically opens.
I’m using this app for my captain tsubasa: dream team 2nd account. It works fine, but after my s7 edge got updated to Oreo. The game keep crashing Everytime I play it. Can you fix this issue?
I thought I was locked out of my Instagram forever. Phone banned. This let’s me back in again. Its awesome. Not sure about battery life or space it uses. But I can get back on Instagram! Thats why i downloaded it. So thanks.
App does what it says. I used it for Snapchat and it did do the trick, but there are several bugs involved with it. I will get old notifications that I had already dismissed, I would get notified that a “new” friend added me even if they added me ages ago. Other than that, it’s a great app.
Great for the purpose. All negative comments have one thing in common: only “WhatsApp” is the problem not the app and trying same account. This app is for multiple accounts not to run same account simultaneously.
I honestly loved this app until a day or two ago.. Then my phone updated, and the app refuses to load beyond the opening screen, which locks me out of an acct. I will gladly change my review if this changes.
Worst application parallel space. My WhatsApp not working when click on get white screen written starting whatsapp. I was wait one hour but it’s continued in processed. Finally I download dualspace App. Their my second whatsapp working fine. But here going times of weast. Don’t be used.
The app is not bad, but I does have some comparability issues with android 8.1 and Nokia 8. I don’t receive notifications at all, although access is granted to pretty much everything. When I open the app I receive notifications, but every time the delay is huge, sometimes for days if I don’t open the app intentionally.
Love the app! Really does what it’s supposed to, which is surprisingly a rarity. The only issue I have is with notifications. Often they’re very late, and they pop up again and again if I don’t click them which can be bothersome at times.
Have just installed. I’m just glad to be able to use WhatsApp on multiple accounts. So far so good. Seems a bit slow, but will have to take some time and make a conclusion.
It’s a good app but Ihave a problem: I wanted to clone whatsapp and make a theme… I colned and every thing is ok.. Byt when I finished verifying the code it told me that i can’t continue ’cause there is another whatsapp user using my no. I can’t delete the original whatsapp ’cause if i do i won’t be able to clone it again.. What shall i do??
Good app, but clash royale won’t work on it. Clash of clans works fine, clash royale loads to 50% then takes me back to the home screen? Tried uninstalling it etc to no avail. Can someone help?
Actually my Instagram stopped working and then I decided to Install this app and this worked really good. I love it. If this was not there I would have had to delete all the data . It’s a brilliant app.
Used to be a great app then it stopped working for my note 8. I paid for the no ad version and now I’m stuck with a dead app. Contacted them and never got a reply back.
I tried to use it to have multiple clash of clans accounts and whenever I go to the Google play login it sends me on an endless loop of logging in. It will let me sign in, say sign in approved buy not actually use the Google play account on the game, and asks me to login again. If anyone could help that would be great. (Edit) I figured it out, much harder than it should have been. Works good now.
Could you just reply to anyone regarding the WhatsApp crashing issue. I have really important chats and I don’t want to lose them. Reply to at least someone..!
Overall, this is an incredibly useful app and it helps me in a lot of ways to manage my multiple accounts. However, I have experienced frequent crashes on the app and I wouldn’t say that is due to my phone since my phone has 4GB of Ram and 64 GB of ROM. I hope something is quickly done about the crashes.
After update, I was downgraded to normal version from Pro! And I had the lifetime offer without ads. Why you cancel that? And if you cancel the subscription, where are my money?

It’s ‘one size fits all’ with Fred’s bikes. The chromo steel frame Ladies model is size 50cm, but a generous amount of seatpost and adjustable handlebar height makes for easy bike-fitting. The colour is lovely Duck Egg Blue, and is well finished and suitably tough. Again, longevity is key.
The models are currently single speed, comes with a lovely chrome bell. The soft grips and saddle are perfect for bouncing around towpaths or roughed up city roads. The saddle comes in a choice of two sizes, large or small, so even though the frame is only available in one size, they’re some level of customization available.
‘Shining’ rims are shod with unbranded cream 32c tyres. The whole wheelset is strong, and the plush tyres certainly look the part.
With only one gear, the ride is casual, although to say it’s slow would be incorrect. Once you add the padded saddle, soft grips and comfortable tyres to the whole experience, you get a great ride, that on the whole, is very forgiving. Once up to speed, the bike ticks along happily and the brakes are strong enough to halt your progress without concern.
Its something of a steamroller, knocking out bumps and lumps in the road with ease, leaving you oblivious to deteriorating road conditions. Fred’s hasn’t made the bike reliable by making it strong enough to cope with real world conditions; instead, it has made it stronger than the planet on which it riding.

Hart, P (2019) Design of an Original Methodology for the Efficient and Economic Appraisal of Existing and New Technologies in Form Grinding Processes including Helical. Masters thesis, Liverpool John Moores University.
The purpose of this research was to create and design a methodology for new product evaluation with an interest in the affects that they could have on form and helical grinding. The design uses a relatively small and commonly available grinding machine so that testing could be done without need for an expensive helical grinding machine typical of that utilised in industry. The contact conditions of the helical grinding process were considered, and the workpiece geometry was designed to closely replicate the form and entry and exit conditions found in helical form grinding of screw compressor rotors. The equipment design allows the grinding forces to be measured in axial, normal and tangential planes. This will allow the variation in axial forces to be explored and allow any variation in hydrodynamic forces to be investigated during the entry and exit regions. Grinding trials showed the importance of the need to measure the true depth of cut for a grinding pass. A novel method of measuring the depth of cut was designed that will allow an accurate measurement of the form position before and after a grinding pass. Replication methods for the workpiece and grinding wheel form were designed to allow capture on the grinding machine to facilitate an economic appraisal method that allows testing to be carried out in a short period of time. A 3D printed coolant nozzle was designed with an air scraper to overcome the air barrier around the periphery of the grinding. The aim of the design was to reduce the need for a high pressure grinding fluid jet and allowing less turbulent flow to enter the grinding nip at lower pressures. A preliminary cost model was created with inputs that relate to form grinding and allow the user to investigate different process parameters and arrive at a cost per part.

A big piece of my heart has autism and she’s my daughter shirt are not wrong. Any terrorist minded person can use such easy way to carry out their target because it is easy to cover-up your trail and also it can cause more casualty instead of going the hard way like a mass shooting or driving over. American California fire has been havoc for them and terrorist can easily lit the fire and get away with it. Storage and transportation very critical, when it comes to fire and life safety involving liquefied petroleum gases. A number of people have been injured by an explosion in central Paris, thought to be caused by a gas leak.
Check out A big piece of my heart has autism and she’s my daughter shirt. I need to work with BBC. It should have been written “A number of persons have been injured by a gas explosion in central Paris, thought to be caused by the gas explosion. I need a job. This is very sad, I hope it is what it says and hopes the proper investigation is in place to find out for certain. Interesting. There were quite a few “gas leaks” like this in Russia recently.
That must be the world’s longest gas pipe. you do have reporters in Paris then. Not seen any reporting on the yellow vest movement against the establishment. But the BBC is part of the establishment. I love how people hurry to say that it’s not religious related. Whether we like it or not, our mind works by learning Patterns.

With hundreds of old garbage dumps in New Jersey, some of them are seeking to capture methane, a lethal source of greenhouse gas pollution leaking from the landfills and contributing to global climate change.
That effort could be jeopardized, according to some, who say at least five county landfills might have to shut down their operations because they can no longer afford to meet strict air pollution standards set by the state to burn the methane to produce electricity.
If so, the methane would simply escape into the atmosphere, complicating the state’s goal to significantly reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. But some of the units now in place at the old dumps also fail to meet tough state standards to reduce other pollutants, which contribute to the formation of smog that blankets parts of New Jersey during summer months.
To address the problem, a legislative committee this week is expected to take up a bill (A-3358) Thursday that would help offset the costs of meeting the state’s tough pollution controls by having utility customers subsidize those expenses.
The Senate Environment and Energy Committee approved an identical bill (S-2036) this past June.
According to backers of the bill, not adopting the legislation could mean the loss of jobs, $40 million in private invested capital to tackle the problem, and about $4 million in public funding from the state’s clean-energy program.
“The greatest irony is New Jersey would be closing its doors on its own facilities, while ratepayers in the state would continue to provide millions of dollars in support of the same technology operating in other states at emission levels deemed too dirty to run here,’’ according to Fred DeSanti, a lobbyist representing some of the facilities.
With New Jersey’s aggressive renewable-energy goals, the landfill facilities capturing methane in state produce only 5 percent of the credits needed to meet those targets, DeSanti said. In New Jersey, ratepayers are shelling out about $15 million to pay for the electricity the landfills generate, but more than $100 million at out-of-state facilities, DeSanti said.
Under the bill, projects that demonstrate an economic loss could be eligible for additional incentives from ratepayers to offset those costs. They could include landfills in Warren, Sussex, Burlington, Atlantic, and Salem counties.
The state Division of Rate Counsel opposed the bill when it came up before the Senate committee, saying it inappropriately shifts the risks of economic loss from the investors in the facilities to gas and electric customers.
“From a risk perspective this bill is nothing more than a ‘bailout’ of these facilities at ratepayer expense,’’ Rate Counsel Director Stefanie Brand said at the time in a letter to the panel.
The agency also argued the proposal generally thwarts the objective of promoting renewable energy, which is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The issue of what programs consumers should pay for through their energy bills --among the highest in the nation -- has become a controversial issue in New Jersey in recent years, particularly from the business community. Because they use much more electricity and gas than residential customers, businesses end up paying the bulk of the surcharges related to those programs on their monthly bills.
Typically, many environmental groups would back rate counsel’s arguments. But Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, while acknowledging doubts, said the benefits of creating a better market for facilities that reduce methane -- even by burning it -- outweigh the downside.
“There’s a lot of landfills out there not capturing the methane,’’ Tittle said. Methane is about 25 percent more potent than carbon dioxide, the other greenhouse-gas pollutant given much more emphasis by state and federal environmental regulators.

£86,500 after tax results in take home pay calculated below. The tax you pay and your net wage are broken down in Your Results and in more detail in Full Results.
Our salary calculator indicates that on a £86,500 salary (gross income of £86,500 per year) you receive take home pay of £58,706 (a net wage of £58,706).
The total tax you owe as an employee to HMRC is £27,794 per our tax calculator. Your employer collects this through PAYE and pays it over to HMRC on your behalf.
The total tax of £27,794 is made up of £22,100 income tax and £5,694 employee national insurance contributions.
Your employer pays a separate tax to HMRC for employing you. This employer National Insurance contribution totals £10,746. This tax is not taken out of your pay. It is an additional cost to your employer on top of your salary of £86,500.
The total cost of employing you to your employer is therefore £97,246 which is your salary plus the employer national insurance contribution.
£86500 after tax is £58706.

Dental emergencies may occur any time, irrespective of the day or the hour. Such incidents can also be unbearable and you need to see a dentist right away. Therefore, you always need to know at least a couple of emergency dental clinics near your home. In case, one is closed for any reason, you can always avail the right treatment at the other.
Loss of a natural tooth (technically it is called avulsed tooth).
An accident which has badly damaged the mouth or the teeth.
A fracture or crack in the tooth.
A loosened or knocked out tooth (technically it is called an extruded tooth).
Severe pain in teeth resulting from an impact but without any visible wound or damage.
Wounded tongue, lips or cheeks.
Severe bleeding, swelling or excessive pain that develops soon after an oral health treatment like tooth extraction, RCT and others.
In addition to the factors discussed above, an emergency dentist in London says loss of a crown or filling must also be treated as a dental emergency and requires immediate clinical intervention.
Depending on your pain and inconvenience, you need to do any of the following while suffering from a dental emergency.
Visit a dental emergency clinic right away.
Make an appointment with a dentist for the same day or the next day on emergency basis.
Book a routine appointment to solve or treat the problem.
Patients suffering from mild toothache or chipped tooth are usually not entitled to receive emergency treatment. Tooth ache resulting from dental cavity requires clinical intervention as soon as possible. On the other hand, a lost filling or crown may apparently seem to a very mild issue but this type of cases requires emergency dental care and treatment.
In severe cases, you may have to visit a hospital. If your bleeding shows no sign to stop or there’s severe trauma affecting your face, mouth or the teeth, you should rush to a nearby A&E department to see an NHS dentist. Such impacts usually don’t accommodate any unwanted delay. To ease the pain, you should better have paracetamol than aspirin or ibuprofen as they later make your blood thinner and making it more difficult to stop the bleeding.

1) USE YOUR AGENDA: This is an excellent organizational tool for you to use in all of your classes. You paid for it through school fees, so use it. It also contains other useful information such as grading period deadlines and school policies.
2) HAVE ALL MATERIALS FOR CLASSES: Get organized each night for the next day. You also have time between each class to get things from your locker to be prepared for the next class. If you happened to forget something, stop by the Pioneer Pride Shop before school or at lunch and get what you need.
3) KNOW WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU AT SIMON KENTON: There is a common set of rules that all Freshman Academy teachers enforce in addition to rules specific to their classroom. Make sure you know each teacher’s individual rules in addition to the 9th grade rules. Know homework procedures, classroom procedures, and when tests are. If you are not sure of something you need to ask the appropriate teacher.
4) BE ON TIME: All students are expected to be in their 1st Period class and seated at 7:40 every morning. Tardies and absences tend to cause students to struggle in school. Even the best students can have a hard time getting back on track after an absence. Don’t put yourself in a position of being left behind everyone else.
5) DO YOUR HOMEWORK: Don’t put your homework off until the last minute or until “you feel like it.” Getting started is the hardest part of completing homework. Try different strategies to completing homework and find one that works for you. You can start with the simple assignments to get in the groove and then tackle the more challenging assignments. You could also try doing some before dinner and more after dinner, which gives you some break in between. Again, do what works best for you but get it done and turned in.
6) GET HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT: If you are worried or stressed out about a class, an assignment, a teacher, another student, a school rule, or a problem at home, you need to let someone know. When other things are on your mind it will have an impact on how you perform in class. You can talk with a teacher, the Freshman Coordinator, or the Freshman Administrator. They are all here to help you be a successful student at Simon Kenton. You can also have your parent call and talk to someone about your issue. Almost every situation has a solution, but we can’t help unless you let us know what is going on.

Who is SUPU? Well, the woman behind them is a lovely New Zealander who now resides in the UK - Jess has long worked as a designer and textiles are obviously her thing! I had a little chat to her before Flight arrived and can say her whole process, from design, sampling mill runs and even finishing - has been very hands-on and involved - and that really shows in the presentation and textile quality of her finished product.
Right out of the bag, Flight Blaze is a medium weight cotton (290 gsm) which drapes and relaxes in hand very quickly. The herringbone weave and relatively flat peacock pattern don't lift away much, making this an easy wrap for second passes and smooth seats. Not difficult in hand for little babes and awesome for multilayer carries. Jess has chosen Oeko-Tex certified Egyptian cotton for Flight Blaze, and the long, smooth fibres contribute to a lush, smooth feeling in hand.
Trucking around nearly 20 kilos of four-year-old is a big ask, and SUPU's Flight Blaze held up very well - I would compare it to Didymos' Lisca, but with less sag factor and a much sturdier feeling.At 70 cms wide, it's plenty for a good seat without a lot of extra bunching. It held a slip knot well and didn't require retightening or much adjustment - and looks so good on!
What do you wear when you're dropping in on a new mum to show her how to use a woven? Your own child... and with a chest pass like this, why not?! Sleek and with just enough diagonal stretch, it's easy to get a smooth, flat chest pass with even tension throughout.
Yes, that's a ruck. Jess is doing good things and knows her textile stuff. She's doing a fantastic job of combining form with function and creating wraps that not only look lovely but perform admirably. You can follow her new work and upcoming releases here on Facebook and check out the feel of her whole brand on her website here.
