LUGANSK, February 1 (Lugansk Media Centre) - More than 500,000 residents of the Lugansk People’s Republic draw welfare benefits, LPR Labour and Social Policy Minister Svetlana Malakhova said at a press briefing at the Lugansk Media Centre.
“More than 500,000 LPR residents are entitled to welfare payments,” Malakhova said adding that the sum of certain benefits increased last year. The Republic’s authorities raised retirement benefits twice for 436,800 recipients.
Benefits for low income families increased by 33 percent, disabled child care allowances increased by more than three times, and prenatal and childbirth allowances and benefits for orphans and children without parental care and lifelong disabled persons, 1st group, increased by nearly times. The Republic has some 66,000 residents entitled to welfare benefits, the minister said.
“At present, we’re considering the recalculation of monthly indemnity paid to industrial accident victims,” she added.
The Industrial Accidents and Occupational Disease Social Insurance Fund has 34,000 people on file, Malakhova said.
At the meeting on December 19, 2017, the LPR Council of Ministers adopted a resolution raising the sum of retirement benefits to 2,904 rubles for the people who had been drawing pensions below that amount. At the December 28, 2017 meeting, the Council of Ministers set the amount of social benefits to be paid in 2018.
On May 12, 2018, LPR Head Leonid Pasechnik said that the Republic had the opportunity to raise the minimum pension payments by 10 percent in 2018. He made the statement during his address to the legislative and executive bodies in connection with the public discussion of the Republic’s socio-economic development programme Our Choice. A month later, the Council of Ministers passed a resolution to raise LPR residents’ retirement benefits starting July 1.

I’m looking into building some version of your shredder, it would be much wider (probably 18-30″ wide and maybe 4 rows of cutting blades) and I’d beef up the hex rod. I’d also be able to control change the speed of the shredder and slow it down for things like circuit boards and heavy wire.
It Depending upon how small the final product needs to be I might create a secondary shredder to create a finer grind. This should need much less “beefyness”.
I’m wondering if anyone has tried to do 2 levels of shredders, one to get coarser pieces and then one underneath that one (or a separately fed one with the larger peices).
I am thinking about using 1/4″ stock, possibly spring steel (which will be hardened then heat treated/normalized) because I can get it almost free. For the larger machine I’m thinking of doing 1/2″ thick blades by welding the two pieces together (maybe drill a hole in the blades & place a metal rod in the hole, then weld it and grind it till flat). I’d also weld the edges and grind till flat.
For the larger machine, I’m thinking 3/4″, 7/8″ or even 1″ hex rod. IDK if 1″ is overkill though.
I’ve seen some new paper shredders that are called “micro-cut” shredders that make little squares of paper that are about 6mm ^2. I’ve seen these items being sold, but I’ve never seen the insides of these or what the blades look like. This micro shredding would be ideal for plastics and wire (help separate the insulation).
Smaller teeth (width and height) will shred into smaller pieces without using a screen.
For the larger shredder you are talking about, 1″ hex rod will be no way near big enough, the standard shredder uses 27mm hex (1.062″) and that’s just about adequate, the end turned down to 20mm can shear with a powerful motor if it jams.
Wow, thanks for the information! I was going off the stats from another YT video where they were using 13mm or 16mm hex as the drive shaft, but that was strictly for plastic.
Yeah, it makes sense that the shaft needs to be beefy, especially the longer it is because there is more cumulative force put on the end where it connects.
I’m wondering if using square stock would work as well with the difference being how the blades are cut. The hole would have to be cut at different angles to allow for the blades to be offset by X degrees. So if you wanted each blade off set by 30 degrees from the next one, then the same size square would be cut into the blade but it would be rotated by 30 degrees from the previous one.
I’ll have to check out torsion strengths of different types of steel.
I’m wondering if anyone has played around with heat treating their blades, like what you do with knife edges. It’s possible to harden only the cutting area and then allow the rest of it to be something like standard spring steel. This would allow the edges to retain their sharpness (for much longer) and not allow the blades to crack under high twisting pressure.
As for a source of metal for this project, I suggest people take a look at an automotive junk yard and look for a heavy duty truck. Most all have leaf springs, many of which are pretty thick, maybe 3/16 to 5/16 (or 4.75mm to 8mm) – there might be heavier ones on Semi’s (tractor trailers) and buses. Those would also be wider. The springs come in layers, each layer getting shorter with anywhere from 3-4 layers up to 7-10 – it all depends upon the weight it needs to support.
Now these might be rusty (and HEAVY) but they always clean up really nicely, it can look horrible, but it’s usually just surface rust. An angle grinder (with sand paper) works well as well as a wire brush to remove the rust . Sand/bead blasting is an option. Then there is electrolysis.
This uses electricty to clean two metals and does an excellent job when done correcly probably the best method for a good finish). You will need an elctrolysis tank, which can be a simple 5gal bucket or similar (it depends on size of item).
You need a DC power supply preferably about 4-8v but 12v will also work, though it doesn’t give as nice a finish (satin smooth). The current of the supply will determine how long the cleaning takes, higher current, the faster it wor until you REALLY high currents (like 50-100A on small pieces) then you start having other problems. Look for a power supply that does 2-20A unless doing a lot at one shot.
You then need an electorlyte, washing soda is suggested (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) will also work but not as well. You can find washing soda in the laundry detergent isle (usually yellow box – arm & hammar symbol on it). You can make washing soda by putting baking soda in the oven at 400-500F (about 2 hours for 2lbs) and stir it under a fan every 15-20 mins – it stirs like water even though it’s a powder.
To set up the cell, take the metal to be cleaned and connect the negative wire to it (VERY IMPORTANT) and then with a scrap piece, connect the positive. If you reversed this, the piece you were cleaning would get more rust on it. Any piece of scrap steel will work, it should be 20-60% the surface area of the piece you are cleaning (that much/% needs to be under water – it is fine for both to stick out of the water and maybe beter as you can connect your leads out of the water.
If you are looking for a really nice finish, then you can’t use a high voltage (it’s like pressure washing with higher PSI, higher voltage will “eat away” at the metal). It is safe to run the cell overnight and unattended. I’d put a circuit breaker on the line (use one of those power strips with one built in) or a ground fault detection breakers (like in bathrooms so you don’t electrocute yourself).
The nasty red “slime” in the picture is just the rust floating inside bubbles. This is the same rust they use to color bricks, pottery, pavement, paint and thousands of other things. All of this is non-toxic.
Yes, I hardened and tempered my blades, I made smaller ones though. I used ground tool steel as it’s a very accurate thickness and not that expensive, any small differences in the blades adds up across the whole stack so you’d need to be careful reusing old truck springs. That said they are a good source of steel.
Just curious. What do you do with shredded circuit boards? Also I thought wire was usually stripped for recycling rather than shredded. How do you use the shredded cable?
If you have a whole mass of wire consisting of copper, aluminum and some steel bits (connectors) or even steel grounding wire, a shredder can chop it all up and in the process much, if not all the insulation comes off and if it doesn’t come off it can be put back through or there are some other processes for that which aren’t too difficult. Then the metals are seperated.
So instead of getting $.10 per lb for mixed metal wire with insulation & ferrous material, you can get full price of #1 copper & pure aluminum (both top prices for the metal) Copper is around $2.90/lb and pure Al $.50-.80+ (and copper was pushing $5 a few years back) so separating it can be profitable,especially if not labor intensive.
As for the circuit boards, well it is similar to the wire, and you have to find yards that want shred and trust that you aren’t giving them gutted boards. Some people build their own kiln/forges and separate metals out, or do it chemically or via electrolysis. Some people are after the precious metals like gold, platinum, silver and a few others, others are happier with copper, tin, lead, etc – but it’s all in there and comes out much easier when it is shredded.

The Sheepwagon is a unique display of western history. In the late 1800’s these distinctive camps were seen often in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and several other western states. The sheep herder would pull his wagon along and follow the grazing sheep. Living in the camp year round, this would be the only home a herder had. The historic design has proven efficient for well over a hundred years.
Times have changed, even though you can still find a sheep herder living in his sheepwagon following his herd of sheep, most of the sheepwagons I sell today are used as a guest house or portable living quarters on a piece of recreational property.
My camps are built with today’s up to date fasteners and building materials. These camps are built to last much longer then yesterdays predecessor. The layout, design and size are very close to the original blueprint. My camps are extremely well insulated; they stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. These camps are very easy to heat, instead of the traditional wood burning fire place I’m using a much safer electric or propane heat source.

Arrival and departure notices for Bombay 1884 have been extracted from the Times of India newspapers and uploaded to the Families in British India Society (FIBIS) database. The FIBIS collection should not be overlooked by Irish genealogy researchers as significant numbers of Irishmen went to India as soldiers in the 19th century. This latest update contains 4,672 arrivals and 3,890 departures. It joins similar indexes for 1880 to 1883. Details.
A major collection of probate records has been published by Ancestry. Spanning five centuries, the England and Wales Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) Wills collection showcases original images of wills dating from 1384– 1858. The PCC approved will probates with asset value of more than £5, equivalent to £526 today. They would have been written primarily by the middle and upper classes and many will have had land or connections in Ireland as well as in England & Wales. The documents contain information about properties, family members, occupations and standards of living.
A new database is available to those searching details of land in Northern Ireland. It includes historical administrative names of counties, baronies, districts, parishes, townlands etc, amd names of rivers, lakes, mountains and other physical details in the six counties. The data was compiled by the Northern Ireland Place-Name Project from maps and other sources, and continues to grow as new names are coined, and as unrecorded traditional names are discovered. Find out more here.
All editions of the Dublin Evening Mail for the year 1841 have been added to the FindMyPast collection of newspapers, which now has coverage for this publication for 1849, 1850, 1852, 1854 and 1855; all issues 1861 to 1870, plus those for June to December 1871.
The Ulster Historical Foundation is running a 10-week family history course starting on Tuesday 4 February. It's aimed primarily at beginners, but those who have already started their research will gain from it, too. The classes will be held in the Central Building, Stranmillis University College, Belfast BT9 5DY, 7:00 to 9:00pm. Cost is £55, with a concession rate of £45. Details.
The first 2014 issue of History Ireland magazine is now in the shops. You can't miss it – just look at the cover photo! It depicts the Slashing Parson of 1798. How can you resist? There are also features about General Tom Thumb, who visited Ireland on a few occasions and was a major celebrity of the mid-19th century; the revolutionary impact, particularly on women, of cycling in 19th century Ireland; the Irish in Japan; the Curragh mutiny of 1912 and its place in the build up to 1916; and a look at Eoin Mac Neill, a founding father of the Irish state but largely neglected by recent scholarship. There's also an article questioning the validity of Youghal's 'Raleigh Quarter' rebranding, while Fiona Fitzsimons gives an overview of the Irish Land Commission's records, and argues for greater public access to them. All this for €7/£6.
Still some spaces left for next month's workshop at the Society of Genealogists in London, which will be presented by Roz McCutcheon FIGRS and Jill Williams FIGRS. After a brief resume of the usual sources, the course will cover a huge variety of lesser known sources, including those available online. Date: Saturday 8 February. Times: 10:30am to 1:30pm. Cost £20. Bookings.
Did you miss any episodes of Tar Abhaile (Come Home), the 6-part genealogy series broadcast on TG4 at the end of last year? It received great reviews and included straightforward, good old-fashioned research plus 'reverse genealogy' and a Gathering of Feericks, as local Irish communities and volunteers from Ireland XO welcomed people from across the globe in search of their Irish ancestors. All the episodes are available to view on the TG4 Player worldwide, and they'll stay there until the end of January, if not longer.

Nestled in the Quantock Hills is Fyne Court’s lost garden. Take in the fascinating wildlife and glimpse the historic landscape as you follow the red trail around the heart of Fyne Court Estate.
Grade of walk: Trainer (all rounder); Type of walk: 'Hidden Places', 'Flora & Fauna'.
Cross the cobbled courtyard and climb the steps at the far end of the lawn.
The 18th and 19th-century buildings (coach house, stable, library and music room) are all that survived the 1894 fire which destroyed the family home. The scientist, Andrew Crosse, created a fine landscape garden with varied views, trees and flowering shrubs, water features and buildings. His nephew, Richard, and son, Andrew, also developed the garden and wider landscape. In the 20th century, Fyne Court fell into decline. Look out for surviving elements of the historic lost garden - the serpentine lake, boathouse, round-towered folly and the walled garden with ornamental trees and shrubs.
Follow the path across the lawn and cross over the driveway.
Fyne Court natural or a garden?
Fyne Court may look natural but the rangers and volunteers work hard to maintain it and the gardens structure is still there. Thick undergrowth supports a variety of wildlife including bats, roe deer and dormice. Dormice like to climb amongst the branches of trees; their main food source is hazel which is coppiced on a longer rotation to ensure there's a good crop of nuts. Deadwood piles are purposefully left, providing a valuable habitat for invertebrates, fungi, and mosses, as well as a food supply for birds. As the wood breaks down it also provides valuable nutrients for the soil.
Continue along the path to the boathouse and cross the stream. Look out for a folly to your right along the way.
Perhaps the most famous of all Fyne Court's residents was Andrew Crosse. He had many interests, such as geology and poetry, but he is mostly remembered for his scientific experiments with electricity. Lots of his experiments were conducted in the music room. In certain weather conditions, such as heavy storms, the equipment that he set up would cause the windows of his laboratory to be brilliantly lit up by continual flashes of light, and loud bangs were to be heard emanating from the house. He was soon nicknamed the 'Thunder and Lightning' man.
Follow the path through the woodland, which is dominated by beech. In the spring this area is carpeted with bluebells.
After the bridge, the path splits in two, take the right-hand path. As you walk along you'll notice small quarries, these provided building stone for the original house.
Continue along the path, turning right at the junction at the top of the hill. At the bottom of a flight of steps turn right.
On your left is the walled garden, with a small pond on your right. The garden would have been used to supply fruit and vegetables to the house and would have incorporated a large greenhouse.
Continue past the larger pond on your left and then take the steps down.
At the bottom of the steps turn right. This path will take you back to the courtyard.
This is a circular walk that follows a simple set of red waymarkers around the heart of the Fyne Court estate. The terrain is varied. There are some steps and the ground can get muddy, especially after wet weather.
Dogs are welcome but keep a close eye on them, or keep them on a lead.

The Value of Giving Thanks – Thanks for Godly Mentors!
I just read about the value of giving thanks in a blog by Katya Anderson. She referred to a study that demonstrates the correlation between happiness and giving thanks.
If it works for children, I’m sure it works for adults as well!
Today I would like to give thanks for the godly mentors the Lord has given me over the years. Two of the most important men in my life apart from my dad, are Dr. Thomas Graham and Dr. William T. Iverson.
I will feature Dr. Graham in my next post, so stay tuned. Today I will focus on Dr. Iverson.
I met Bill 27 years ago when I entered seminary. It was a time when I was young, and thought I knew much more than I actually did. Bill had a knack of putting us in uncomfortable places, and letting us squirm a little. It was practical theology at it’s best. He used to call it theology with skin on.
I have many stories from my time with Bill. One of my fondest memories is from my first semester in seminary. Bill took me down into the city of San Bernardino. It was the seedy part of town. I grew up in the suburbs, so I didn’t feel entirely comfortable in the places we visited. We found ourselves in this run down coffee shop. Bill being the gregarious guy that he was just started talking with different people in the coffee shop. He noticed one of them had a book, so he asked him about it. He was friendly in the way he asked, and he showed interest in those he talked to. He always looked for ways to engage people.
I saw Dr. Bill boldly loving these people, and I was astonished. I said to him, “Bill, how are you able to talk to people so easily, I always feel afraid to engage people I don’t know.” He said something I’ll never forget. “Remember these people are scared too, and you have something they don’t have, you have the Holy Spirit.” Then he added, “Just learn to enjoy people.” Wow! what a great lesson.
One of the philosophies that I’ve held on to in all my years in ministry is that, ministry flows out of relationships. I learned that in a very real sense in that coffee shop.
If you ever get a chance to talk to Bill he’s sure to bring up the part he played in hooking Dawn and me up. And it is true that when I first met Dawn she lived right across the street from Bill, and his wife, Ann. Bill and Ann helped foster our relationship!
God has blessed me in having two such godly figures in my life. I hope to write more about each of them in my blog in the future. Both of them are 83 years old. They are both still very involved in ministry.
Bill at 83 is planting a church in New Jersey. I think he’s still got more energy than I do! He was just featured in an article in byFaith Magazine. You can check out the article here.
We want to follow in his steps! Luv you Dave!
The Arrival of Daniel Ezequias – Give Thanks!


text: Summer is here. That means a whole new season and change of wardrobe. You know what that means, the catwalks in Paris, London, and Milan are full of inspiration for men’s summer style. Here are five summer trends you can’t miss out on, straight from the runways. Long Shorts Gone are the days of the short, thigh-baring shorts. Nowadays, knee-grazing shorts are all the style. Look for a pair that ends right at the knee, does not cuff, and can be pressed with a crease. Feel free to rock patterns, but remember that neutrals like navy blue and khaki are always a good idea. Neckerchief Reminiscent of ascots from the 1970s, neckerchiefs were all the rage this year, especially in Paris. They make a great addition to any outfit, but are particularly fancy if added to a dressier outfit. Headed to an interview? Add a neckerchief and you are sure to make a statement. After all, an attractive person has a 72.3% chance to receive a callback after an interview, whereas an unattractive person has a 62.02% chance of being called back. Plus, people decide on your trustworthiness within a tenth of a second, and what isn’t there to trust about a neckerchief? Cuban Collars Yes, we are talking your grandpa’s favorite shirt. Those lightweight button-downs with the wide, loose collar add a retro vibe to any outfit. Don’t be afraid to go bold with the prints either! All Grey Everything Typically, summer means bright colors. Not this year, where grey is all the rage. Aim for a mix of patterns and hues for a unique monochromatic look that will make people stop and stare. 5 Panel Hats No ensemble is complete without a hat, right? Add a 5 panel hat to your outfit and you’ll immediately look pulled together and on style. The options are endless — think 5 panel hats with logos, bright colors, luxurious fabrics… the choice is yours. The best place to stay up on men’s fashion is Supreme apparel. Any Supreme store is full of the next trends from Supreme shirts to Supreme hats to Supreme bags. You can buy Supreme clothing online, or head into a store. What are you waiting for? Go get the wardrobe of your dreams!

Eric, Toni, and their son, Alex Eggleton, are a proud cat-loving family from Indianapolis, Indiana. Their first family cat lived to 21 years old and passed away due to kidney failure. Six months later, they heard about two Russian blue mix kittens taken from a colony of feral cats that needed a home. So the Eggletons welcomed the 10-week-old Samantha and Shadow into their family in 2004.
In the summer of 2015, Toni noticed a change in Samantha’s behavior. Samantha seemed off-balance, and when she tried to jump she would miss more often than not. At first, Toni attributed the changes to old age. But several weeks later, she saw Samantha do something that was completely out of the norm.
The Eggletons took Samantha to the veterinarian for evaluation. When her blood work came back with abnormal findings, they were referred to VCA Advanced Veterinary Care Center, where Samantha could be examined by a neurologist for further testing. An MRI showed a cystic mass. It was a large tumor that was pressing on the brain stem. The neurologist and radiation oncologist both agreed that the tumor was most likely meningioma, one of the most common brain tumors found in cats.
Do nothing. The tumor would probably grow and Samantha might live another several months.
Try conventional radiation therapy. Samantha would undergo around 20 treatment sessions involving radiation and anesthesia.
Take Samantha to Cincinnati, just a two-hour drive away, where she could receive a brand new progressive radiation therapy treatment called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Because of its unprecedented precision, the advanced treatment would only require three sessions.
The family didn’t take long to decide to treat Samantha with SRS. They were not willing to sit by and do nothing, and conventional radiation therapy required too many sessions under anesthesia.
Samantha received three sessions of SRS from August 26 to 28, 2015, at PetCure Oncology at Care Center. By the end of the third day, the signs and symptoms Toni has previously observed were gone. And Samantha’s three-month post-treatment MRI revealed no evidence of the brainstem mass.
It’s been a little over one year since Samantha received SRS for her brain tumor and she continues to do well.
The Eggletons have recently adopted two young male litter mates, Bobby and Banjo. As the big sister, Samantha made it very clear when they came home that she was the queen of the castle. And they seem to get that.
If you have a pet that has been diagnosed with cancer and you would like to know about treatment options, please contact a PetCure Oncology location near you. We are a happy to provide you with more information and assist you with scheduling a consultation.

What is the thread lifting of the face? This is the non-surgical technique of lifting with excellent rejuvenating effect. Compared with surgery, it has a significant advantage as it does not use the skin excision, there is no long rehabilitation, complications are rare. That is why this type of lift is so popular.
Zygomatic part of the face is lowered.
Sharp creases at the corners of the mouth (facial, age).
The edges of the eyebrows, lowered of aging and loss of elasticity of the skin.
Infectious and inflammatory processes in the acute stage.
These are general contraindications to the thread lifting, but you should still specify them individualy. The cosmetologist will tell you about them after the study.
There are 4 types of the threads: non-absorbable, durable and fully resorbable, combined (with the body, which resolves, but the basis – is not).
Then the “Tissuelift” threads were applied, for the resolution of which a long time is required. They are long-term absorbable.
3 d – meso threads, Happy Lift and others of the same type – completely absorbed by the skin.
Combined option – Silhouette lift.
For the better skin stretching, the manufacturers provide small incisions on the threads. Before selecting a particular type of of threads, make sure it is hypoallergenic (like of gold). They also need to stimulate the production of collagen under the skin, so that it becomes elastic and beautiful.
If the thread is picked up incorrectly, the dermis can stay unstable, and the skin may change the color tone after the temperature drop. The doctor may prohibit some hardware cosmetology procedures, as is the case with gold threads.
Up to 40 years use the caprolan cosmetic fibers. The best material for seams is obtained from them. They are quickly absorbed – after 6 months, but they support the face frame for 2 years. Rejuvenation is achieved at the expense of lactic acid, it is added to the structure of the threads.
After 40 years – the polypropylene yarn are used. They support well the aging skin which has lost its natural elasticity. The effect lasts for more than 5 years. To prolong the effect, it is possible to carry out the correction.
After 50 years – the dense threads, without the resorption effect, are needed. The skin in this age sag more, that is why the selected material is more dense. The result is long-termed – from 7-8 years.
A person looks 10-15 years younger.
The skin is tightened and smooth.
The process of skin sagging is slowing down due to the natural production of collagen and elastin.
The face contour is clear, thus achieving the effect of rejuvenation.
The local anesthesia is used for the thread lifting , therefore the procedure is painless. The duration – to an hour. The thread is introduced into the temple area through a microscopic puncture. Then it is displayed on the cheek out. There are no cicatrixes, no scars after the procedure. The 4 threads are commonly used for the one session.

• Plain box—a plain old box that holds only one item.
• Toy box—a box that has color and holds only one item.
• Magic box—a box that holds only one item, but magically changes it to the first item that was ever stored in the box.
The three classes of boxes are related by inheritance: PlainBox is the base class, and both ToyBox and MagicBox are derived from PlainBox. For simplicity, let’s just focus on the classes PlainBox and ToyBox.
We included cout statements in the constructors so we could tell when they are called.
Although we could provide the class with a setColor method, we choose to prevent the client from altering the color of these boxes. In particular, a ToyBox object created by the default constructor will have a default color that cannot be changed.
• The derived class does not inherit the base class constructors.
• Each derived class constructor can, and should, call a base class constructor.
• If a derived class constructor does not explicitly call a base class constructor, C++ will call the base class default constructor for you.
• If the C++ compiler detects an initializer call to a base class constructor, it does not add its own call to such a constructor.
• If the C++ compiler does not detect an initializer call to a base class constructor, it adds its own call to the base class’s default constructor.
If you create an instance of ToyBox using the previous constructor, you will see the result of two executions of the cout statement in PlainBox’s default constructor.
In the first case, PlainBox’s default constructor is called implicitly. In the second case, PlainBox’s second constructor is called explicitly by the initializer, so the compiler does not insert a call to PlainBox’s default constructor.

There is more to photography than merely capturing an image in a well lit setting. It is definitely a form of art. It is a form of art that requires many different skills and techniques. Photography requires a person to have an eye for interesting and beautiful items and places. Photography also requires a lot of attention to detail. Here is some advice to keep in mind.
Be picky about what will end up in the picture. The perfect photo will seem like a tiny window focused in on select details about your subject. Avoid the desire to show more than is needed. To create a general impression of an object, shoot a series of photos, instead of a single detail oriented photo.
It is important to give your photos depth when capturing landscapes. Put a person in the foreground to get the sense of scale of the surroundings. Set your cameras aperture opening to a small setting, such as f/8 for most cameras or f/16 for full-frame and panoramic cameras. This will not only increase sharpness in the foreground, but in the background as well.
Be simple with your camera settings. Take your time and master one part of the control, like the shutter speed or aperture, before you move on to the next. That way, you can focus your attention on taking pictures instead of toying with the camera as you miss golden photo opportunities.
Depth is an important feature to incorporate in your landscape images. Add scale into your photos by including an object or person in the picture foreground. You can get decent focus on both foreground and background objects by using a small aperture setting: Something under f/8 with a standard digital camera or f/16 when using a full-frame SLR.
Most people think that beautiful days filled with sunshine are ideal for taking photographs. But, in fact, filming in direct sunlight is a sure-fire way to ruin just about any photographic image. It causes awkward shadows, uneven highlights, and may cause your subject to squint when they face your camera. When possible, choose to shoot in the early mornings or late evenings.
It’s best to use a blurred background when taking portrait shots. Having a sharply focused background can detract from your subject matter, making it difficult for any viewers of your photo to focus the way you intend them to. The easiest way to do this is to increase the distance between subject and background.
There’s so many different features to play with on your camera. Make sure you adjust your colors and angles while experimenting. A high quality photograph does not require an original subject. It just requires an original way of thinking. A skilled photographer can take an extraordinary picture of a marginal object. Practice and experiment until you find your own personal style!
Choose only the best photos to showcase or display. You do not want to show every picture, or too many with the same subject. Your audience can become bored with repetitive images or too many of them. Keep it fresh, and show different aspects of your photography.
Take pictures of little things when traveling. While they may not seem that important at the time, when you get home and start to reflect on your trip, having these smaller memories will be great. Shoot pictures of small objects like tickets and coins and also larger things like street signs and strange objects in markets.
You should enjoy photography! Photos should be a way for you to recall past events or times that you can remember and share with your friends and family. Have fun when taking the photos so that you can be excited about learning a new skill.
Take photos of your travel souvenirs when you’re on a trip. Photograph the souvenir on the shelf in the store, or get a shot of it with the sales clerk. This creative project helps to create a more memorable connection with the objects and sights from your travels.
The majority of digital cameras now come with a feature that automatically uses the flash whenever the area you are photographing is too dim. Auto-flash is great for amateur photographs, but for a cleaner more professional look you should have an external unit with a broader range for your camera flash. If you decide you do need an external flash, invest in a camera with a “hot shoe” to fit the flash into, and consult a professional to learn which flashes are a good fit for your camera.
If you want to experience old-fashioned film photography, try going to a second-hand store to find a film camera. To get an especially nostalgic look, try black and white film. A good choice is film with a 200 ISO rating. Once you develop your film, try printing it on different paper styles, including ones that are fiber-based.
Use careful consideration when choosing the subject of your photograph. The subject can make or break a photograph regardless of how technically advanced your equipment is, or how good your photography skills are. Look for inspiration in objects, or choose a model that is comfortable with you.
Regardless of whether you are pursuing photography as a hobby or career, good composition is the key to taking high quality photos. Like other forms of art, if your composition is lacking, then the outcome will not be the best. After you have done your research into composition, practice putting it to use and after some time you will see that your images have improved greatly.
When you go travelling, look around for new ideas on all the different things you can shoot. If you are looking for inspiration, take a look at some postcards to get ideas of what to shoot. The post cards that you will see will point you to some great photographic scenery that would add to your photo collection.
Composition is not about how many things you can cram into your pictures. You have to understand that empty space plays an important part. A scattered jumble without a focal point doesn’t add to a picture. The art of innocence is really wonderful, so try to keep the shots you take simple.
While many believe that white is one of the best colors to wear in photos, it’s actually not a good choice. Many cameras automatically have an auto-focus function, that quickly reads and analyzes all the nuances and shades in the shot. White clothing usually looks washed out in these pictures.
Use natural lighting when possible because it isn’t harsh. When taking outdoor photos, pick a time when the sunlight is low; generally late afternoon or early morning is best. If your subject is facing into the sun, it can distort the picture with shadows, and can also make it hard for your subject to keep a relaxed face. You’ll be using sunlight to your advantage if you position your shot so that your subject is receiving the sunlight from the side.
When you’re scheduled to photograph more than one person in a shot, give them advice beforehand that will help them choose clothing for the best staging. Although matching outfits aren’t necessary, having your subjects clothed in complementary shades of color can enhance a photograph. If it’s a natural environment, let them know to wear warm colors or a more neutral shade of clothing. If there is a need to have bright colors, try wearing black to help the colors be more balanced in the photo.
Once you decide to take a photo, hurry up and do it. The moment you want to capture is not going to last, so be prepared. If your subject is alive, such as an animal or person, it might move out of shot or change its facial expression while you are fooling around with your camera settings, and then you won’t be able to capture the moment you wanted. If you focus too much on perfecting all your camera’s settings, you can lose the shot you want to take. So don’t stress yourself out too much over this.
Keep an eye out for any kinds of patterns, whether natural or artificial, when shooting your subject matter. Patterns that repeat make very interesting subjects for photography. These patterns are not only great for interesting photos by themselves, they can also add an eye catching background for whatever the main subject of your focus is.
Use the manual white balance when taking your photographs. This has a dramatic effect on the mood of the photo, and provides you with the ability to control the way your photos look. You may have to experiment a bit when you’re first learning how to manually adjust the white balance, but you’ll soon see how inventive and resourceful you can be with your photography when using this technique.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to shoot something great because you couldn’t properly adjust your settings. At the same time, you don’t want to settle for factory presets. Know your camera well and use the settings that allow you to have the most control over your shots while still allowing you to adjust them in an easy and timely manner.
There are many brands of equipment currently available; however, you should purchase the one that is right for your budget. Most photographers go with the Big Two: Nikon and Canon. However, there are other reputable equipment manufacturers out there.
You can use creative methods to produce a silhouette image. Most silhouettes are created using a sunset. There are so many other ways to do it too though. Any time that brightness in a backdrop exceeds that of the subject, a silhouette will be created. You can achieve this effect by using a rear-mounted flash or by having the subject stand near a window facing east around 9 A.M. However, keep in mind that occasionally, a face or body outline could highlight a bad feature of your subject.
Observe a nature scene carefully before you take a photo. Also, take some time to really appreciate your surroundings, making sure not to leave anything behind. Take pictures of that beautiful scene, but be sure you leave it just as beautiful for the next person.
Now you know that photography has a lot more to it than just taking pictures of a subject. Doing so can really improve the quality of the pictures you take.
When you want to get a camera that uses film, knowing what kind of film to purchase is important. Each photographer has an opinion regarding the best kind of film to use. While there aren’t major differences among the major brands, you may like one over another. The brand that you like using the most is your best choice.

I was asked a question a while back over IM. The question and my subsequent answer made me think about my coding style, decision making process and evolution over the years and I decided that I would share those thoughts with you (aren’t you lucky).
M: I was thinking about the event.setArg() method, and thought it would be nice if you could have it set the variable to session or cookies within the same call, e.g. event.setArg(‘name’,’value’,true,true), what do you think?
Me: I see what you’re thinking, but I don’t like it. I think that your code should be clear to you and others what it is doing and those true arguments don’t give you much insight into what they’re doing.
You’ve got to think about someone else coming to maintain your code, would they be able to see what it was doing without digging through to find the definition of event.setArg()?
Also how many times will you use it, and if not many, will you have to check the definition yourself to remind you which one is setting the cookie and which the session next time you see it?
So in the end I proposed 3 methods, the original setArg() method and two for setting cookie values & session values, basically a couple of cookie and session faÃ§ades, and I think that’s what he went for in the end.
It’s not the driest piece of code, but in my opinion much better than being presented with event.setArg(‘myArg’, myVal, false, true).
So that brings me to the title of this post, “Coding Clarity Over Cleverness”, the example with the extra faÃ§ades for the session & cookie can’t really be any clearer in my opinion, it’s not the cleverest or driest solution but as far as readability and future maintenance in my opinion it’s much better. Presented with that code you probably wouldn’t even dig into the documentation or code to see what cookie.set() and session.set() are doing as it’s pretty clear.
The clarity over cleverness argument goes for any coding situation, you might hide some really clever code behind a method or function, but it’s name and signature should clearly show what it’s doing.
So the next time you come up with a clever solution, ask yourself if it’s clear what the code is doing if not then re-factor it so that it is.

Hey, I got a schwinn s350 and I was wondering if there's any way to make it go faster? I've heard of people ramping it up to 48 volts from it's stock 24 volts and using a 36 volt controller. I would love some help on this folks!
Do you already have the 36V contoller? If you are going to buy one to replace the stock 24V controller, why not just get 48V? Putting 48V to your stock 24V motor will probably work, but it will likely have a shorter life. Prone to getting very hot, especially in the summer months and for long periods of acceleration (hill climbing) or sustained high speed. Also, hard on the brushes and commutator bars. I'd try adding just one more battery and attempt to run the stock 24V controller and motor at 36V to see if it's fast enough for you. If you totally toast them, brushed motors and controllers are not that expensive. And then you can replace them both with something bigger. Just a thought.
thanks, I don't have the 36 volt controller yet. I'm considering the 48 volt controller now that you mention it. and two more batteries. Now I need a different charger though don't I? Anyone has anything else to share please share!
Use (1) 48V charger to charge the entire pack at once.
Use (1) 24V charger to charge (2) batteries at a time and then move it to the other (2).
Use (2) 24V chargers and re-charge all (4) batteries at one time.
Charge each battery with a 12V charger individually.
The stock "string" chargers will not keep your batteries balanced. In fact, they will continue to amplify the out-of-balance condition until you lose range and/or damage one or more of the batteries. To maximize the life of your Lead Acid batteries, you should have some way to "equalize" the charge if you use a string charger in series, or charge each battery with a 12V charger, which may require some wiring or easy access to all 8 battery terminals.
taking the idea of running my stock controller and stock motor at 36 volts might yield some better speed, but what will it do to the range? and likewise with just upgrading the whole system to 48 volts?

I wanted to create a warming drink for the winter season, and as we are currently living in northern Germany, a Glühwein recipe seemed a natural choice. But, I’m just not in the mood for the abundant choice alcoholic seasonal drinks right now. So a Mexican friend introduced me to a drink that is on the stove top of pretty much every Mexican home during the holiday season – Ponche.
Traditionally made with Jamaica flower (Hibiscus), spices, Tamarind, dried fruits, cane sugar and Tejocotes, a fruit native to Mexico which is part of the Hawthorne family of plants. I’ve substituted some of these ingredients for ones that you may already have on hand. For example, I’ve used dark brown granular sugar instead of cane sugar which still gives a sweet warming taste to the punch, and Quince instead of Tejocotes, which adds a light aromatic flavour and are more readily available.
The punch is really simple to make, and will create a very inviting fruity, spicy aroma in your home. You can keep it warm on the stove, so that you have something warming to offer guests as they pop by during the holiday season, and as its alcohol-free kids can enjoy it too. Feliz Navidad!
Put the Jamaica flowers, spices, Tamarind, prunes, raisins, sugar and water into a large saucepan, bring to a boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove all of the ingredients with a slatted spoon. Add the chopped fruit and simmer for a further 20 minutes. The punch will absorb all of the lovely juices from the fruit. Serve with the pieces of fruit in mugs or punch cups.

The Hollywood Ten included a group of screenwriters, actors, directors, and musicians who were denied employment because of their political beliefs or association. These individuals were banned from their work on the basis of their alleged membership or sympathy towards the American Communist party, involvement with liberal of humanitarian political causes, or refusal to assist federal investigations into Communist Party activities.
The first systematic Hollywood blacklist came in November 1947, the day after ten writers and directors were cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to give testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Un-American Activities, or HUAC. The motion picture studios, acting under the Motion Picture Association of America, announced the firing of the Hollywood Ten in what is called the Waldorf Statement.
Many members of the Hollywood Ten were fined and served federal prison sentences. Others travelled to Europe, since they had been barred from employment in much of the entertainment industry in the U.S., where they found work. The blacklist was effectively broken in 1960, when screenwriter Donald Trumbo was publicly acknowledged for the films Spartacus and Exodus. A number of those blacklisted, however still found it difficult to find work for years afterward.
Adrian Scott was a screenwriter and motion picture producer. In 1947 he was called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities but refused to answer questions. Scott was jailed for one year and blacklisted as a member of the "Hollywood Ten". In 1957 Scott went to London. He returned to the U.S. in 1968. His work included the film “Mr. Lucky” (1943) and the television special "The Great Man's Whiskers" (1973), a work on Abraham Lincoln. Joan Scott was a film and television writer whose work included scripts for "Have Gun, Will Travel," "Lassie," and "SurfSide 6."
Maltz was a movie screenwriter, playwright, and novelist during the twentieth century. Maltz's screenwriting career was interrupted in 1947. He was a member of the "Hollywood Ten", a group of Hollywood figures who refused to answer the questions of the House Committee on Un-American Activities concerning alleged communist influence in the movie industry. For this, he was jailed for contempt of Congress and was blacklisted by the movie industry until the mid 1960s.

Citation: Wu, T., Armstrong, P.R., Maghirang, E.B. 2018. Vis- and NIR-based instruments for detection of black-tip damaged wheat kernels: A comparative study. Transactions of the ASABE. 61(2):461-467. https://doi.org/10.13031/trans.12432.
Technical Abstract: Black-tip (BT) present in wheat kernels is a non-mycotoxic fungus that attacks the kernels wherein any of a number of molds forms a dark brown or black sooty mold at the tip of the wheat kernel. Three spectrometers covering the spectral ranges 950-1636nm (Spec1), 600-1045nm (Spec2), and 380-780nm (Spec3) were evaluated for the ability to predict the presence of black-tip. Kernels with different levels of black-tip damage (BTD) were quantified into four levels: sound (A), low (B) or high (C) black-tip symptom (BTS), and black-tip damaged (D). Discriminant classification models were developed to evaluate combinations of levels. The combinations were 1) A, B, C and D separately; 2) A, B+C, and D; and 3) A+B and C+D. The spectral data for 2,760 kernels obtained from 23 hard red winter wheat samples composing of visually selected thirty kernels for each of the four levels of black-tip severity (A, B, C, and D) were collected with each spectrometer. Discriminant calibration models for each spectrometer and classification category were developed based on (a) three combinations of 17 samples with the six remaining samples used as independent validation, and (b) combinations of 20 randomly-picked kernels from each of the 23 HRW samples as calibration samples with the remaining ten kernels used as validation samples. Discriminant analysis was based on five wavelengths for each model. Spectra pretreatment was the standard normal variate (SNV). Results showed that all three spectrometers were capable of detecting BTD on wheat kernels. BT classification accuracy was observed to have been affected by wheat varieties for Spec1 and Spec2 (both with NIR wavelengths) but not for Spec3, which was purely in the visible region. The 2-category classification (A+B, C+D) provided higher accuracy than 3-category (A, B+C, D) and 4-category classifications (A, B, C, D). Based on percent correct classification and Youden’s index, Spec2 performed better for detecting sound and BT wheat kernels with classification accuracies of the best 2-category classification calibration model ranging from 85.6 to 87.5% compared to Spec1 at 74.8 to 78.4% and Spec3 at 76.7 to 79.2%.

Red Lion - B&B – što se nalazi u blizini?
Restoran u sklopu objekta - pub poslužuje sljedeće: doručak, ručak i večera.
This is a brilliant place to stay. Rooms are comfortable and always a warm welcome from the management and staff. Looking forward to my next visit.
We enjoyed our brief stay at the Red Lion. The hotel is in a perfect location if visiting Lacock, easy parking, comfortable accommodation, friendly staff, good breakfast - we would stay here again without hesitation.
A lovely old hotel in a beautiful village. Breakfast waitress a full of information about the village and rightly proud of it. Room clean but public areas could do with a lick of paint.
Can't fault the service I received from the staff. The hotel and its location is stunning would love to return for a personal visit next time.

We've got the scoop on the next add-on for The Sims straight from Maxis.
Ever since its release early last year, The Sims has had powerful and lasting appeal. Whether it's the lure of manipulating a family of artificial people, building homes, or managing all the aspects of a career and lifestyle at your own pace, the Sims has that special quality that has garnered millions of fans. The beauty of the game that Will Wright created, though, is that it emulates real life, meaning it has an endless base of possibilities to draw from for future expansions, and it is also modular in design, meaning it's fairly easy for the designers to plug in new components to enrich the game.
One of the new NPCs is the lovelorn guitarist.
The Sims has had two expansion packs so far, and now Maxis is producing a third one. Maxis says that it is always considering what the fans want and is always looking to dig deeper into places it hasn't yet explored. In this new expansion, Hot Date, the designers are now delving into one aspect that Sims fans have clamored for from the beginning--the opportunity to manage and manipulate romantic human relationships in greater depth than was previously available in the original game. After all, now that you can have a career and throw a party, what about dating and romance? With Hot Date, Maxis is now giving lonely Sims fans a love life.
A new facet of The Sims: the Downtown area.
We recently visited the Maxis offices in Walnut Creek, California, and got a chance to see Hot Date, which has been in development for a little more than a month and is slated for release sometime in October or November. Maxis says that when considering Hot Date, there were two things it wanted to play with: social one-on-one interaction between Sims and letting players go to someone else's house. The first objective would be easy to achieve; however, the second was determined to be too difficult. That is because each house in The Sims is a saved game, so you can't visit and interact with someone else's house without messing up his or her saved game. Thus, it was decided that a compromise could be reached by creating an entirely new location where social interactions could take place. Enter Downtown.
Downtown is a neutral location, so to speak, where dates happen. Hot Date is about being in Downtown with your date. Just like you can with a house, but on a larger scale, you'll be able to build Downtown into whatever you want, creating different parks, restaurants, clubs, shops, and other venues. Downtown will look very different from your original neighborhood--picture a street of small boutique shops and restaurants--and will also have its own nonplayer characters (NPCs). Many of the components are new and fit into the style of a downtown district but can also be added to your homes if you wish.
The love tub should ensure a steamy evening.
Aside from the building of Downtown itself, the new expansion will involve the social interaction between two Sims. In the regular game, you get to directly control the members of your household. If people are hungry, you make them eat. If they need sleep, you make them sleep. But in Hot Date, you control only one Sim, the one who initiates the date. That Sim follows your commands, and you can control him or her throughout Downtown. Although you'll have a companion on your date, you won't have direct control over that person. He or she can leave at any time if he or she is bored. If he's hungry, and you don't feed him, he can just get up and walk out on the date. The challenge of the game comes in keeping the date interested in you and indirectly controlling how he or she acts. So if that date is hungry, you'll need to bring her to a restaurant where she can order food. If she's bored, you might bring her to a dance club. Hot Date's style of gameplay is different from that of the Sims. Now, instead of controlling people directly, you can nudge them along only by picking up on their motivations and then using your controllable Sim to lead them to interaction spots where they can meet those needs.
The point of the date is to keep the two people--one you control and one you lead--on the date as long as possible to see all the cool things in Downtown. There are various social interaction rewards laced throughout the game. Fans of the Sims will recall the "love bed" reward, which you receive if you can get two Sims to make out on the love bed together. In Hot Date, there will be plenty of rewards of that nature. If you manage to keep the date interested throughout the evening, you'll be rewarded with lots of cuddling and making out. Maxis says that the gameplay is controlling one person and using that person to meet the needs of your date, getting him or her to follow you to reward places.
Going out to eat will meet your Sims' food needs.
Of course, like in much of real life, the way you get your date to follow you is by taking out your wallet. Everything costs money in Downtown. You need to pay to get into clubs, buy food at restaurants, and buy items when shopping. By using your money, you can boost your date's mood--once you've picked up on what motivates him or her, of course. In the regular game, if you want to meet a Sim's need for nice food, you might buy an expensive refrigerator. Of course, on a date, you can instead just go out and buy food for your date and thus meet his or her expensive food needs. By using Downtown, you can thus satiate the appetites of Sims, but without having to buy permanent solutions for them, like the fridge.
To actually get a date going, you can go to Downtown and just pick up a datable NPC hanging out there. Or you can invite a Sim to a date over the phone. With Hot Date, a new option will be granted when talking to Sims on the phone: a date option. You can call a person up and ask him or her to meet you in Downtown for a date. Seconds later, a taxicab will arrive at your doorstep. You can step in and your next stop will be Downtown, where your date will be waiting.
Excessive signs of public affection will anger the old hag.
Once you get to Downtown, a number of options are open to you. You'll need them, because dates can be fickle, with lots of different needs and motivations. Thankfully, there is a lot to do in Downtown.
In Downtown, the list of activities includes dining in restaurants, going to the beach and park, dancing, and shopping. There will be a variety of restaurants in Downtown, including a '50s diner, a cheap eats joint, and a classy, expensive restaurant. We saw a club with a small dance floor, where you can indulge in disco with your date. And of course, you can go shopping. You can buy roses, necklaces or a teddy bear, and even clothing, like lingerie, for your date. When your Sims are sleeping, they usually wear the same boring pajamas that everyone else wears. But if you go to Downtown, you can buy some lingerie for yourself or your date, and when you get home, you can wear that particular piece of clothing instead of the default jammies. At the park, you'll be able to feed the fish, race toy boats, and enjoy a nice picnic in the shade under the trees. Of course, all these activities cost money. The more you have, the more you can get for your date. And the more your date gets, the more he or she will like you. It may be crude, but as the designers say, "In Hot Date, money buys you love."
The end result of Downtown matches the designers' original concept.
As we stated before, you can call a Sim and arrange for a date in Downtown. Or you can just explore Downtown yourself. If you want to buy yourself some new clothes or go out for a bite to eat, you can. Of course, you can also go to Downtown to pick up people. Hanging around the area will be datable NPCs. These NPCs will be familiar archetypes. Moving on the dance floor of the club, we saw three such NPCs. There was the dark-haired femme fatale, the blonde bombshell, and the cheesy Mr. Medallion. These NPCs will have their own motivations and desires, and you can build relationships with them. Eventually, if you meet their needs and can successfully get them to follow you around, you can build a long-term relationship. That could eventually lead to marriage with the NPC. Then he or she will become a full-fledged member of your Sims household and turn from an NPC into another one of your direct characters. He or she will then live with you and, better yet, bring a dowry with him or her.
Because there is so much to do in Downtown, time will stop while you are on a date. Otherwise, after you get back from a date, the rest of your household will be old or dead. In addition, Downtown itself will be as expensive or fancy as you make it. At this point, the designers don't have a limit on how much you can spend when building Downtown. Obviously, building a classy restaurant is more expensive than a diner, but you will have enough cash to build both or just the fancy one. The choice comes later on when you visit the Downtown you built. If you build an expensive Downtown, your Sim will have to pay through the nose when visiting all its attractions. The cost, rather than being an impediment when building the area, comes into play as an entrance fee to get into the really cool places.
New greeting options will help you win over other Sims.
To create a new way to interact with Sims, Hot Date is adding many more options to this already deep game. Because the one-on-one relationships are becoming more complex, some changes are being made to the game. There will now be new greeting options. You'll be able to give air kisses now, as well as handshakes. Brags will also be updated to encompass boasting and flexing of muscles. Other Sims will also react differently depending on your greeting. If you give an air kiss to a stranger instead of a handshake, he or she might recoil from you in dismay.
In addition, the relationship bar that previously determined your Sim's relationships with others is changing. There will now be a long-term relationship bar for Sims. The previous relationship bar will now be your short-term relationship indicator. You'll pump up the rating of the long-term bar by building up your relationship over time with a Sim. Thus, you can have many Sims for whom your short-term relationship bar is maxed out, but your long-term relationship bar is practically empty.
Taking someone's hand in marriage is the ultimate goal in Hot Date.
One of the ways you'll be able to pump up your long-term relationships is by finding common interests with other Sims. A large goal of a long-term relationship in Hot Date is to get a high level of conversation going between two Sims. If you can do that, you can create a connection between the two that will result in a long-term relationship. Thus, Sim interests have been beefed up. You will now be able to build up interests as if they were skills. You can buy magazines to boost these skills and thus improve your rating in an interest. For example, if you want to date the femme fatale and she has a high rating in her romance interest, you can buy some romance novels to boost your own rank in the romance department. When you next meet her, you'll have great conversations with her about romance and she'll be more interested in you. There will be new interests added to complement the old ones, and the total list includes such interests as celebrities, romance, travel, money, and exercise.
Hot Date certainly looks like it will be a fun and welcome addition to the Sims universe. In addition to having the chance to explore a new and expansive location, you'll be able to indulge in dates with other Sims and even work toward the goal of marriage. Of course, the standard array of goodies will be introduced in the expansion pack. There will be lots of new objects for Downtown, including hanging lights, street elements such as trees and lampposts, and new tiles for the beach and park settings. There will be a heart-shaped tub, new wallpapers, doors, windows, awnings, and more. Most of these new objects are meant for Downtown but can also be used to decorate or enhance your own existing home. There will also be new rewards and NPCs available, depending on your actions during the date and where you go on your date. One particularly funny element was the prudish old lady, who hangs out near the club. If she sees you getting too close to your date, she'll come over in a hurry and starting smacking you with her purse.
The wait for Hot Date shouldn't be too long, and when it does ship later this year, another fantasy will be realized for Sims fans everywhere--they will get to pursue the wild and unpredictable life of dating.

I was absolutely thrilled when Kelso Wood agreed to fly to Sydney, to be my special guest on Sky’s “Inside Racing” a few years ago.
The scuffle between trainer Richard Laming and jockey Noel Callow at the Cranbourne trials recently, left both participants a little lighter in the pocket. Stewards ruled that Laming instigated the incident, and fined him a hefty $2500. Despite the fact that Callow retaliated with a left rip to the body, he was fined a more lenient $300.

When traveling with smaller quilts, if you roll them on empty paper towel tubes (larger ones on large paper tubes) this prevents them from creasing and stretching.
Swimming Pool Nooles are great to roll your quilts and projects on for class and storage.
Tool Hanger: A shower curtain hook ( the metal ones) is great to hang templates and rulers.
Have a good tip? Please send it in and we'll be happy to share it with others. Or how about that new tool you discovered, we would love to hear from you.

Engineers from a rival company, Inax, countered in April with a toilet that glows in the dark and lifts its lid after an infrared sensor detects a human being. When in use, the toilet plays any of six soundtracks, including chirping birds, rushing water, tinkling wind chimes or the strumming of a traditional Japanese harp.
In a Japanese house, “the only place you can be alone and sit quietly is likely to be the toilet,” said Masahiro Iguchi, marketing chief for Inax.
This may be one explanation for the ferocious toilet research going on in Japan. While the nation is famously addicted to gadgetry of any variety, its population is peaking and the number of households is expected to start declining by the end of the decade.
Some money can be made by exporting toilets to countries with comparatively primitive toilet cultures, but the real sales growth will be found by adding exotic features.
In June, Toto, Japan’s toilet giant, came out with Wellyou II, which automatically measures the user’s urine sugar levels by making a collection with a little spoon held by a retractable mechanical arm.
Whether a home medical center or a Zen space for meditation, the toilet of the future probably will emerge from laboratories like the ones in Nara at the Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.
Users of the Matsushita toilet can program it to preheat or pre-cool a bathroom at a specific time at a set temperature. For owners who may not be so regular, it allows users to set the temperature and pressure of a water jet spray used to wash and massage the buttocks, an enormously popular feature in Japan.
Toilet jet sprays, which sometimes confuse foreign visitors with disastrous results, are now in nearly half of Japanese homes, a rate higher than that of personal computers.
The results would be sent from the toilet to a doctor by an Internet-capable cellular phone built into the toilet. Through long-distance monitoring, doctors could chart an elderly or invalid person’s physical well-being. “We will have this within five years or so,” said Harry Terai, director of home appliances research for Matsushita.
With nursing homes largely full in Japan, the number of older people under home care is rising fast, jumping by nearly one quarter just last year.
In Japan, most people see the doctor after they become ill,” said Hironori Yamazaki, a Toto engineer. “With an eye to our demographic change, we are setting out to make the toilet a space for the early discovery of disease.”.
But some civil libertarians are having nightmares about “smart toilets” running amok, e-mailing highly personal information hither and yon.
There are also Big Brother nightmares about master computers monitoring millions of bowel movements, checking around the clock to see who is constipated, who is not eating his peas and who is drinking too much.
