Poing, 25. März 2019. For operators in the mining industry, quarries or sand and gravel works, it is a common annoyance: abrasive material, which is transported and processed in their plants, leaves traces of wear in many places in the production process. Dump truck bodies, bunkers, chutes, loading points, funnels, hoppers and silos are affected by the enormous mechanical stresses in continuous use. And the wear protection used, often does not bring the desired effect and must be replaced after a few months. To improve this, REMA TIP TOP has developed a modular wear protection system that offers long service life even in demanding applications: RMS-MP-70.
The clever part of the modular system: in the event of punctual damage, the modules can be replaced individually thanks to their uniform size, which considerably reduces operating costs compared with the large-scale replacement of a lining. The installation is simple: the trapezoidal elements are interconnected like a puzzle. Their overlap ensures a stable construction that prevents fine material from entering between the parts.
The RMS-MP-70 rubber design is a combination of highly wear-resistant rubber material and an underlying orange signal layer (wear indicator): "REMA PERFORMANCE line 70 is a material used in areas of high wear and impact because of its excellent abrasion resistance", explains Johannes Klöpper, Product Manager at REMA TIP TOP. "REMALINE 40 orange as a softer substructure is characterized by its high elasticity." The orange signal layer acts as an indicator of wear and tear in order to plan maintenance measures in good time. A five-millimeter-thick steel support plate on which the rubber material is vulcanized ensures secure attachment and also protects against material migration.
So far, REMA TIP TOP offered the modules in a total thickness of 80 millimeters. "After the RMS-MP-70 has already proven to be a heavy wear protection in practice, we also wanted to enable customers with medium-heavy applications a modular wear protection solution," explains Johannes Klöpper. To meet this demand, REMA TIP TOP has recently introduced modules with a thinner version of 40 millimeters. Their field of application is sensitive plant components, in which the grain size of the conveyed material and the impact energies are slightly lower.
REMA TIP TOP offers the modular system under the product name RMS-REMATHAN-G90 based on polyurethane, especially for applications in the wet sector, where it is important to protect equipment and components against sliding wear and caking and where oils and fats play a role. The module thickness is also 40 millimeters.
Another novelty for even longer tool life and less caking: hybrid wear protection modules with highly wear-resistant ceramic elements, which are embedded in a special rubber matrix according to the principle of the proven REMALOX-HD series from REMA TIP TOP. These are available in two thicknesses, 40 and 80 millimeters. Johannes Klöpper recommends the rubber-ceramic combination especially for transfer points with small impact angles of up to 40 degrees: "The RMS-REMALOX-HD modules are ideal in these areas. There is virtually no abrasion. On the other hand, the rubber bed absorbs the impact. We combined the best of both materials."
The modular wear protection system RMS-MP-70 is manufactured in the German REMA TIP TOP plant in Fürstenzell near Passau and is available worldwide. The modules have a size of 300/600 by 600 millimeters.

Blog reader Liz has a problem–or, to be more precise, her kitty does. The cat is hooked on plastic. Whenever Liz’s boyfriend unwraps a package of cigarettes and happens to leave the plastic wrappings around, kitty is in ecstasy. Pounces on the crinkly stuff; licks it and sometimes even ingests it, throwing up little pieces later.
Poor addicted kitty can’t seem to leave plastic alone. Talk about substance abuse! Talk about a bad habit! And needless to say, Liz is worried. She wants to know what in the world is going on with her feline who fancies this odd non-edible even more than tasty food and traditional treats. Has the animal gone crazy?
Well, we pondered this problem. We talked with some experts in animal matters. We researched a bit online. Discovered that odd kitty cravings aren’t at all unusual. And, Liz, there are other cats out there that share your pet’s strange habit. We read about a feline that fancies plastic bags.Read about another that licks that emulsion stuff off photos.Thought about my own Missy who will try to eat the artificial fern in the living room if I don’t watch out. Considered my Tony who goes for those little stringy things that appear on well-used and wearing-out carpeted cat trees. Remembered a friend who had a cat that would go wild for wool. So, Liz, you aren’t the only feline owner with a crazy cat.
Why do cats decide to do this and drive us crazy?
Several online sources I found, including www.askville.amazon.com, alluded to the fact that some plastics are made of rendered animal fat, gelatin or petroleum- type substances that have great appeal. Others mentioned the attractive crinkle/rattle that cats, hunters by nature and keenly attuned to such noises, have a hard time resisting–and then things just escalate from there. In rare cases, attraction to the non-edible can come from having a disease called Pica, which can involve the ingesting of strange things like bamboo or wood.
Eagerness to eat unusual things also could occur because something essential is missing in the kitty’s diet. Maybe an important nutrient, say, and so the cat resorts to dining on an oddity. Therefore, if a feline insists on eating things that are bad for him/her, the first line of defense is to check with a medical professional in animal matters and see if anything physically is wrong. If, however, it’s a more simple matter of simply pouncing on the strange object and/or licking it rapturously, the best and easiest thing to do about it is to just not allow the object anywhere near the cat.
Of course, I realize that this is easier said than done. But since you don’t want to take chances with your precious kitty, Liz, and since plastic could result in swallowing/ suffocating issues, I guess the best solution is to advise the boyfriend that he must never, ever be careless about cigarette wrappers. And one more suggestion to help your kitty kick the habit: Buy some safe crinkle balls at the pet store. Made of cat-safe materials, they have a lovely sound when a feline bats them around. My cats are crazy about them. Perhaps your kitty will be, too. And in time your kitty may forget all about that potentially dangerous plastic.

I signed a contract today. This means I have a job - unless the bureaucrats intervene: I really have too little confidence in the Korean Immigration Authorities' objectivity (which is to say, in their capacity not to be arbitrary), but... I think I have a pretty good chance. More than 90%.
So I will start in mid-April, presumably - as soon as I get my E2 Korean work visa. I have to get this from an overseas consulate, so since I'm going to Japan this weekend, I'm just going to stay in Japan until I get my "authorization number" for my visa, which I can take to the Korean consulate there to get the actual visa pasted into my passport. I may be in Japan a week or two. Maybe I'll go somewhere interesting: back to Nagasaki, or over to Tsushima, or something that's a fairly short trip from Fukuoka.
The school where I've signed is in Yeonggwang County, in Jeollanam Province. If Seoul is Korea's New York City and Washington DC and Los Angeles all rolled into one, and if Gyeonggi Province is Korea's Maryland and New Jersey and New York State all rolled into one, then Jeollanam is Korea's Kentucky, or Korea's Georgia. It will definitely be a big change. But I'm looking forward to it.
Yay! Have a wonderful trip.
good for you -- you will keep us entertained with your great stories! Congratulations and enjoy the time between in Japan!

Main Gains Of Solar Generators.
Solar generators are a valuable source of power that has to turn out to be an inexpensive way of getting power employed in many devices. Apart from being used on the roof of the house to regulate the temperatures of the house, solar devices can be used in other ways such as to recharge batteries, heating water in a pool as well as to power water pumps and in many different ways. Portable solar generators have also been significantly enhanced to be used for your convenience.
Notably, a solar power generator comes in with a battery charger, the frames as well as the generator itself. These solar panel frames are used to collect the energy from the sun and hoard it for later use. Note that some of these of the solar panels may store energy for as long as a whole year. There are numerous advantages of the solar generators .
To begin with, most solar generators are come in a small camper version making them portable and may be used in various areas. These generators can be used to power numerous gadgets such as the mobile phones, laptops, iPods, cameras, water pumps, water purification systems in your camper. Furthermore, they can be a source of energy for other devices like the televisions, torches, CD players and much more.
The next and common use of solar power energy is a secondary source of power in case of outage,It may be utilized to light the home, in heating and cooling systems or even in the refrigerator.
In the case you require a solar generator that can power your gadgets for a long time, then the larger ones should be the best as they have a bigger storage capacity.
When purchasing a solar generator, you ought to consider the capacity of the solar dynamo to hold much power as well as its size mainly for functionality purposes. In this regard, therefore, you will note that the larger generators are more expensive.
The most significant benefit of solar generators is that they are a source of a safe, clean, renewable as well as environmentally friendly energy. It is important to note that, a solar generator is just another form of the solar panel though it contains the fundamental photovoltaic cells found in electrical appliances. These photovoltaic cells are used to save the energy from the sun and convert it to electricity without discharging the dangerous gases to the atmosphere.

Nice hotel. Enjoyed the restaurant very much. Convenient to groceries and other restaurants.
Historically beautiful hotel with high quality service (especially Sabrina!) and a perfect location in the heart of Florence. I loved the hotel's old-world charm and our comfortable and cozy two floor hotel room. My mother and I had a memorable stay at Helvetia & Bristol Firenze and will be sure to return the next time we are in Florence.
Beautiful hotel in the heart of Florence, perfect for the sights yet very quiet too. Fantastic and extremely helpful staff.
We loved this beautiful old hotel in a perfect location in Florence. Gorgeous and high quality.
Generally speaking we had a nice 4 night stay at this hotel. The location is great and the staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and well cared for, but our rooms faced an industrial courtyard of some sort. We couldn’t see the courtyard, as the windows we opaque and wouldn’t open, but we could hear the machinery working (possibly a makeup unit) ALL THE TIME. We wouldn’t stay here again for that reason.

What does natural mean? Natural means existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind. What do you mean by non-natural/ man made? Not of natural origin; prepared or made artificially How will we assess the level of natural?
Introduction River Pang is a small chalk stream river in the west of the English county of Berkshire, and a tributary of the River Thames. The river Pang is also a river which can be very dry in summer time because there is very little water in the river unless it is a rainy season and if it rains a lot there could be floods and draughts in river Pang. The river pang is 19 miles long. We are going to find many natural features because the river is very natural and there are various changes in speed as the river is flowing down.
There’s also many man made features which can be spotted near the river Pang such as bridges built for people to cross over the river. I think that I will also see many meanders and rapids. I will also see wide flood plains going down the river because the river would be naturally made to stop floods. I might also spot that the stone size changes near the river banks. The river’s velocity will increase as we go down the river because there is going to be more water closer to the end of the river.
There is quite a gap between Bradfield and Bucklebury.
The width and perimeter was found by using a measuring tape and pulling it from one river bank to another to find the width but the depth was found by using a measuring stick and it had a half a metre interval. We found out the wetted perimeter by using a measuring tape from one river bank to another.
This is how the measuring poles are used to get the width and depth of the river.
Measured travelling speed of water in 10m per second. Tennis ball used to find the velocity of the river. We only dropped the ball to find the speed of the water in some places. Although this wasn’t accurate since the ball got stuck in weed and it only gave us the flow of water on the top of the river.
very rounded The stones are larger in the water than the stones that are moved away from the water.
Clinometers are measuring devices also known as an inclinometer, the essential function of the device is to determine accurate measurements as they relate to sloping, height and distance. This device was used 10m apart from the poles and we took the reading from an angle which gave the readings in degrees. Since river Pang was a flat land river we didn’t get any readings because there was no slope. After all measurements are made and numbers are crunched, the river flow can be classified.
Many man-made features could be seen here, this was because the water flow in this area had been slowed down. Many man-made features could be seen here, this was because the water flow in this area had been slowed down.
Evaluation & Conclusion In our investigation I found that there were many weaknesses and many things that went right as we expected them to be. In the investigation the 5 stops we stopped at were New Farm, Frilsham, Bucklebury Ford, Bradfield and Tidmarsh 1 & 2. By the results we got I found out that river Pang was heavily affected by man and only a few areas of it was natural.
This was due to the farming going around the river and also because there were many roads and building next to the river. In the study we did about river pang the conditions weren’t very good because it had rained a lot and the river water level had increased rapidly due to the huge amount of rain water. There were many weaknesses because the apparatus we used weren’t very good so our results weren’t very reliable, that is why we had to use the results from last year and these results also showed results as we predicted them to be.
I also found velocity of the river was slowed down by many manmade features but there were some features such as straight channels closer to the end of the river, this showed us that there was a faster flow of water. We also found that man had made narrow channels to speed up the water flow. There is also the factor where the water level in the river will increase in the winter because there are no leaves in the trees and it increases in the summer when all the trees have leaves on them which is rate of interception.
I also found out that there was more man influence closer to the end of the river. In our study there was also the factor where we found out that the farmers had cut paths for the river water to flow and to divide the river channels. This was due to the river water flooding the river banks. To improve the investigation there could have been more dependable apparatus’s to gain the results we needed.
Also to see if the results were reliable we could have compared with the results from last year. The weather and conditions we went out for our investigation, so if there were much better conditions our experiments would have developed much better results. There is also the need to go and do the field work at different times of the year and we should also have done more stops to get much more reliable, accurate results and to make it a fair test. Although there are natural features in every part you can see a man affected area in river pang.

Have you ever wondered where paintball came from? Now that it’s a recognized sport and tens of thousands of people are playing, we thought we’d take a quick look at where paintball came from.
Paintball guns started out as a tool, not as a piece of game equipment. They were invented by the Daisy Outdoor Products, the same company that you probably know from BB guns.
Farmers would use it to tag and identify cattle that might be too difficult to approach. Forestry officials would use it as a means of tagging trees that needed to be marked for later removal; why trudge up a hill to mark a tree when you could mark it from 20 yards away?
And Then It Was Primarily A Game!
The first game of paintball was in June 1981. Twelve players competed in a capture the flag game using Nel-spot 007 single shot pistols.
As paintball became more popular, the need for specialized equipment became apparent. Pursuit Marketing was one of the first to get involved. Instead of retrofitting the marking guns from the 1970s there were now guns manufactured solely for play. Take a look at this ad for the first paintball rifle!
The first paintball tournament was held in 1983. At this time it wasn’t yet called paintball, but instead was marketed as National Survival Game.
Over the decades paintball takes roots in dozens of countries. Rules can change depending the country, including age limits and who can own paintball guns.
Ignoring the warnings that the world would end in December, 2012 (remember all that nonsense?), the Houston Heat is born!

Did any of you get to see this series ???
I was rooting for Jilly, but realised that Irini had got with her excellent dishes.
It really was cooking of the highest order.
Also Irini lives in Cartmel, which was part of Lancashire that was stolen from us to make Cumbria.
She didn’t even make stick toffee pudding!
Yes I saw it all… live and as it happened for the first time in many years.
One of the best series ever. So good to see three women in the final. Jilly would have been my choice.
We replied at the same time!! Jilly was fantastic wasn’t she?
Watched the whole series and was rooting for Jilly from the start, disappointed that Irini won, personally I thought her main of lamb chops and peas was a little underwhelming.
I do miss watching this series, but Gregg Wallace spoils it for me.
He must have something, the amount of wives he has had.
How folk perceive us and how we really are … can be two totally different things… and unless spending day in and day out with someone… can it be easy to know just what one is embarking on… ???

Traditional wedding invitation wording follows a set pattern, you can use this style of wording if the bride's parents are hosting the wedding.
If it is the groom's parents that are hosting then it would like this.
Having your parents names on your weddng invitations can mean that you are faced with divorce and/or remarriage. To be fair to your parents, you want to make their relationship as clear as possible in the traditional wedding invitation wording. You may also want to include the stepparents in the invitation, especially if they are helping to pay for the expenses. Below are some examples to illustrate how to handle these situations tactfully.
In this case, the parents' names are separated. If only one parent is paying for the wedding, the other parent's name can be omitted.
If the remarried couple is covering the expenses, the first sample wedding invitation phrases would be appropriate. If both parents are sharing the costs, they should be treated as hosts as shown in the second example below.
Unfortunately, both parents are not always going to have the honor of sharing this special day with their children. However, they can still be remembered on the invitation. The sample below provides an example of the wedding invitation phrases that would work in this case.

Authors : Dumon T, Gratacap B, Firmin F, Vincent R, Pialoux R, Casse B, Firmin B.
Summary : Objectives: The aim of this article is to illustrate the aetiologies of mixed hearing loss that can benefit from a Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) middle ear implant, the techniques performed and the first results. Materials and method: The authors report their experience of 13 implantations in mixed hearing loss due to otosclerosis, sequelae of chronic otitis media and congenital aural atresia. The VSB implant was implanted alone or in association with another middle ear surgical procedure, on the ossicular chain or on the round window membrane. Results: The average auditory gain for all patients is 32 dB for pure tone thresholds, and 25 dB for speech recognition. It results from the addition of a gain on the conductive hearing loss by direct stimulation of the inner ear, to a gain on the sensorineural hearing loss by amplification. Conclusion: Middle ear implants are the only hearing aids affording a gain in both the conductive and sensorineural components of mixed hearing losses.

He took a job with a large local Atlanta law firm where he worked as a defense attorney for the insurance companies. By 2001, he'd had enough so he left his lucrative job with the big firm and opened his own practice. Since then he has been voted among the top 5% of attorneys in the state of Georgia by Super Lawyers and selected for membership into The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Trial Lawyers.

Personal injury cases in Georgia usually have a statute of limitations of 2 years, but there are circumstances that can shorten or lengthen that time frame. During your free case evaluation, Casey W. Stevens can explain how the statute of limitations affects your case. Even if your accident just happened, time is working against you. Immediately after an accident, repairs are made and cleanup efforts get under way. Valuable evidence can be compromised, covered up, and even destroyed or discarded before it can be collected and properly analyzed for your case. Casey W. Stevens can use the law to stop those cleanup and repair efforts until all of the evidence has been preserved. He can also stop the harassing phone calls and letters from the insurance companies who will be pressuring you to accept a settlement that is far below what you are entitled to under the law. Let Lilburn area accident attorney Casey W. Stevens help you determine what you deserve and then help you to receive it.

Spider Vein Treatment Plan – What are Your Options?
While the development of spider veins increases with age, there is no reason to suffer with these unsightly marks. There are many spider vein treatment options available on the market today. There has been much advancement in technology and laser treatments to address spider veins have become incredibly effective. It is worth at least considering your treatment options before you decide to simply live with your vein concerns.
In most cases, an effective spider vein treatment plan will consist of natural lifestyle adjustments and non-surgical cosmetic treatments. You may need just one treatment to get rid of a few small spider veins, or you may need a series of treatments to eliminate a more severe case. You can make that determination after you have an initial consultation with our trained professionals, but this information will allow you to walk into your initial consultation with some understanding of possible treatment options.
This is the simplest form of treatment for spider veins. You wear graduated compression stockings or garments that apply pressure around the affected area of your body. This pressure helps the veins force blood back to the heart more efficiently. This is the same treatment used to improve blood flow in varicose veins.
For many people with mild spider vein problems, this is enough to reduce the appearance of existing spider veins and prevent future occurrences, especially when compression therapy is combined with natural lifestyle remedies. Later in this guide, you will learn more about the natural lifestyle changes that can help control, relieve and prevent vein problems.
Keeping the legs elevated is another way to help restore natural blood flow through your veins. While sitting with your legs raised as often as possible may help prevent future problems with your veins, this is typically only one part of a more complicated treatment plan for spider veins.
If you do not get the results you want from lifestyle change, including compression therapy and keeping your legs raised as often as possible, you may consider cosmetic procedures that deliver more impressive results. Thanks to the advancement of technology, laser procedures are now the best option you have for eliminating the spider veins that are currently affecting your body. You will get the best results when you combine your laser treatments with lifestyle adjustments.
Laser treatments are completed in less than an hour and allow you to return to your daily life immediately after your appointment. No one has to know that you have undergone spider vein treatment unless you tell him or her yourself. When you use the powerful, safe and effective spider vein laser treatment, you can expect to see some improvement in the appearance of your veins immediately.
It typically takes two or three laser treatments to significantly reduce or completely eliminate the appearance of spider veins. If you have a more severe case that covers a large area of your body, you may need more treatment sessions. This will be discussed during your initial consultation when your medical professional thoroughly reviews your medical history and examine the area you want treated.
Laser treatment is performed with a handheld device that emits light frequencies into the veins. The goal is to close up the veins so that they are no longer available for blood flow. Your body will naturally compensate by turning the vein into scar tissue and sending your blood through healthier veins. This is why it is so important to make lifestyle changes that will help prevent the problem from occurring in those other veins.
You can drastically reduce your risk of suffering these side effects by selecting a well-trained, experienced medical provider qualified to deliver this type of laser treatment. The professionals at Advanced Dermatology have experience with state-of-the-art elōs treatment, in order to maximize patient results while reducing the associated risks.
This is often considered an alternative to laser treatment for spider veins, but it is not the ideal option for most people. The procedure requires a trained professional to inject each of the spider veins with a medication that causes the vein walls to expand and then collapse. The body eventually turns the veins into scar tissue, in similar way to what happens with the less time-consuming laser procedures that are now available.
Just like laser therapy, this treatment is best combined with natural preventative treatment options. The treatment will cause significant reduction in the appearance of your spider veins over a period of weeks, but you still need to make sure your lifestyle does not encourage the development of new spider veins. You may need multiple sclerotherapy treatments before you completely eliminate your spider veins to satisfaction.
Whether you decide to go through with cosmetic procedures to reduce the appearance of your spider veins or not, it is important to make lifestyle changes to prevent future problems. If you decide to forego treatment for your spider veins, you may notice that your vein problems worsen with time if you do not take action. If you do have your veins treated, you may develop additional spider veins in the future if you do not make some changes.
You can probably identify which of these risk factors are currently at play in your life, and it is not difficult to determine lifestyle changes that can lower your risk. For instance, if you know that you are overweight, you may start focusing on good nutrition and add exercise into your daily life in order to reduce your risk. If your job requires you to sit at a desk most of the day, you may set a goal of getting up and walk around the office every hour or two.
Simple lifestyle changes such as going for walks or running around the yard with your children can help improve the spider veins you already have and prevent the development of future vein problems. You may still opt to seek treatment for your spider veins, but these lifestyle changes are essential if you do not want to have repeat treatments as new veins appear in the future.
When used independently, cosmetic procedures and lifestyle changes cannot guarantee that you will never again suffer from spider veins. That is why a comprehensive treatment plan includes a variety of methods to prevent and treat vein problems. As you work to fight spider veins, you will also work to prevent and eliminate varicose veins that are often caused by the same conditions as spider veins.
Begin your spider vein treatment plan with graduated compression therapy and a more active lifestyle. At the same time, if you are not there already, work toward achieving a healthy body weight. Most importantly, visit a qualified medical professional for a consultation to review your treatment options.
The laser spider vein treatment is the best treatment for this medical condition. Or a cosmetic treatment if you prefer it, since it’s not that painful or dangerous. There are some spider vein treatment options, which can be effective only if you don’t have a severe case. That’s when the compression comes in handy, and small lifestyle changes, like the feet elevation. Walking really does the trick for me, since it increases the blood flow, makes it more regular. But, ultimately, the laser treatment is the best way to have final results, and something that destroy the veins and create scar tissue. I would recommend everyone to get with the program. It’s the 21st century, lasers are our future, and soon they will find a laser treatment for everything. I am a very happy client.
I don’t think the laser treatment hurts a lot. You can feel a bit of itching and redness, or something like that, like with any other laser treatment. That’s just a normal side-effect of a procedure done with laser. But as far as the sclerotherapy is concerned, I’m not so sure about the pain. The effects are the same, but the pain probably isn’t. Now, the cost of a spider vein treatment is nothing at all, I think it’s quite affordable. Just make sure you don’t get involved with a phoney doctor that will present the spider vein laser treatment cost as a big deal, and have you undergo unnecessary treatments. That’s up to you to judge. If you don’t think you need to continue, then don’t. The laser treatments are after all adapted to suit people, and their skin, yet not all people are the same, so they may react differently. What’s pain to others can be nothing to some.
I don’t know about the rest of the people, but I get scared when there is talk of injections and lasers. I would rather use a spider vein treatment cream if there were a successful one. Unfortunately, I am aware that there is no such thing in this life. My mother decided to take me to a spider vein treatment in Sydney, in a clinic that is very well-known and people talk about it all the time. The doctors there are famous and treat just about anything you can imagine. I’m still afraid of it, and I don’t even mind those veins. But my mother is so persistent. If there is any advice from more experienced beauty people, I’d love to hear it. I’m still so young and sensitive, I hope it doesn’t hurt a lot!
Since I am someone who has this problem and it kept showing up, I’m going to tell you my experience. I’ve had a spider vein treatment, but just compression. I also tried to put my feet up, even at work, while the big boss wasn’t around. I tried to walk off the sitting part of the day as much as I could. However, none of those were a permanent solution. What did actually help me is the laser treatment. To be short, it did hurt me a bit, I felt a bit of burning. It is a laser after all. The doctor treated a certain area on my thighs and calves. I had three treatments, and the difference is noticeable! I would say it’s for anyone who wants a more long term solution to the problem, and later on you can try the more natural methods, like compression and elevation of the feet.
What a professional and smartly written article! Got all the info I needed on the treatments as well as some advice, for free! Nice to know there are professionals out there who take their patients seriously and give them all the information and assistance they need. Considering all of the options given, I would much rather go for a laser treatment and then alter my lifestyle and be very careful about it. The spider vein laser treatment is modern after all, and probably gives great results. There isn’t a best spider vein treatment, it’s all individual. I would never go for Sclerotherapy, it just sounds to invasive, because of the needles.
Although spider veins aren’t dangerous, I do understand anyone who is bothered by them. It like acne scars, you just don’t want them to be there. Lasers nowadays can fix anything. I’m hoping spider veins are really no exception to that.
The compression bandages helped me. I’m still young, I’m 27, but I got these veins probably from my mum. I mean the genes and stuff. I like to say that this is a natural spider vein treatment. But I’m not sure how the facial spider vein treatment can be carried out with less aggression and in the similar natural way. I’ve noticed those ways come up on my forehead. Maybe not spider veins, but they definitely weren’t there before. I am doing my best to change my lifestyle, but I’m feeling that it is in my genes… I can’t escape it. I haven’t devised a treatment plan, because I didn’t have the spider veins on the face before. Now that I have, I’m going to have a little talk with a specialist. It’s not like I can rub a cream on it, and it will go away.

Clearly, wisdom is not a gift; wisdom is a task; wisdom costs. Wisdom calls us, the Scripture says, to know ourselves, to squeeze out of every moment in life whatever lessons it holds for us, whatever responses it demands at that time. It is wisdom that calls each of us to be everything we have the capacity to be. It is wisdom that is the internal force that drives us to become the fullness of ourselves. It goes without saying then that wisdom is not life lived at its most docile. It is, instead, life lived at its most demanding. Let those who seek wisdom, in others words, beware.
We have read many parts of what could be counted as Jesus’ “farewell discourse” in the Gospel According to John. Last week, we read of the promise of the coming Paraclete, the Advocate that would teach the disciples everything that they needed to know and remind them what Jesus had told them. Now the promise broadens a bit. The disciples are promised that they will be lead to all Truth, will speak what is to hear, and will announce to the disciples what is to come. Taken the wrong way, this almost sanctions a sort of “free for all” when it comes to Spirit proclamation. But, keep in mind, read in context, the Truth is not separated from Christ. Jesus embodied the Truth. Jesus embodied Wisdom. Jesus embodied the very essence that is God.
That is the way we are called to live—with one voice—even though it may be a million different languages. In essence, it is the reversal of the Tower of Babel story. Where the Tower of Babel account divided people because of their lives, Pentecost restores communication and unites different languages with a common voice. The difference is in the hearing. The difference is that sometimes it IS about our not being control. The difference is that this unruly, uncontrollable Spirit of God has empowered all of us. It is not a private affair. This is not a personal spirit. This is God’s Spirit that does what it set out to do in the first place—to create the world into being. This Pentecost story is the release of God’s Spirit into the world. The heavens have opened up and poured out on us all. And the new creation, the taste of all things to come, has begun.

More and more companies are in the grip of a new phenomenon: "metric fixation." Here's what's wrong with it.
The rewards can be monetary, in the form of pay for performance, say, or reputational, in the form of college rankings, hospital ratings, surgical report cards and so on. But the most dramatic negative effect of metric fixation is its propensity to incentivise gaming: that is, encouraging professionals to maximise the metrics in ways that are at odds with the larger purpose of the organisation. If the rate of major crimes in a district becomes the metric according to which police officers are promoted, then some officers will respond by simply not recording crimes or downgrading them from major offences to misdemeanours. Or take the case of surgeons. When the metrics of success and failure are made public — affecting their reputation and income —some surgeons will improve their metric scores by refusing to operate on patients with more complex problems, whose surgical outcomes are more likely to be negative. Who suffers? The patients who don’t get operated upon.

CCD was commissioned by Vantage Airports, as owners and operators of La Guardia to review how the wayfinding system supports passengers in the new Terminal B that is currently under-construction.
Our brief was to assess how the signage system would support passengers in navigating the new terminal and how it would work within a wider wayfinding system (including FIDs, other graphics & information). We were asked to bring our experience and expertise to brief the airport on how new digital technologies might support the wayfinding system. Finally we were asked a specific question of how the wayfinding system might be used to influence passenger behaviour and keep passengers in the retail areas for longer before heading to the gates.
There were several key challenges to this project. Firstly, understanding passenger behaviours, motivations and spotting pain points. Secondly, keeping passengers in retail, and lastly the challenge facing passengers will be making sense of the vertical circulation which is extensive and potentially confusing.
We ran a series of workshops with the airport team and key stakeholders to review our findings and the insights around technology and behaviour. The workshops were an excellent approach that enabled the group to springboard from our initial ideas and develop further new solutions or ideas.
Keeping passengers in retail is a common question and one that goes far beyond wayfinding. We approached the question by looking at exemplar passenger behaviours and what might motivate different people to behave as they do. This allowed us to explore, with the airport team, on a range of potential interventions that would address these behaviours and therefore have a greater chance of success.
Our wayfinding recommendations had to compliment a positive passenger journey whilst facilitating relaxed movement through the airport. We made a series of recommendations that modified the wayfinding design including reassessing a number of decision points and identifying where there were information gaps in the passenger journey.
The signage had to conform to the Port Authority Wayfinding Guidance (which covers all New York airports). We made a series of recommendations where environmental graphics or other solutions could be used to supplement the signage, and to help particular problem areas were signage was hard to see or understand.

A Jumper Style Coverall, designed to give the full skirt protection that much farm work and gardening requires. Roomy pockets are conveniently placed. The front opening makes it easy to put on and take off. Knee-length leggings are included.
One of the problems that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had to contend with during both world wars was a shortage of agricultural labor. Men who didn't enlist were recruited to work in industries supporting the war effort, making them unavailable to work their own farms or to work as hired hands. Women stepped up to fill the short fall, sometimes by enlisting in the Women's Land Army, often by taking on more responsibilities on their family's or local farms.
Overalls for women started to be marketed during World War I, and women had started wearing trousers in public in the 1930s, generally as sporty wear, so by the start of WWII the idea of women in trousers wasn't entirely new. Yet the USDA seems to have felt there was a need to offer some support for women who needed to do dirty agricultural work but weren't ready to wear trousers or overalls. A sturdy apron and leggings were apparently seen to be a workable solution. Here's a terrific image of women at the USDA designing work clothes for women at this period.
Many thanks to Jim Christensen for pointing out that this very ensemble was described and illustrated in Clarice Louisba Scott's book Work Clothes for Women, issued by the USDA in June, 1942.
By WWII "coverall" is a fairly common term for this type of apron. ("Overall" seems to have been used in Great Britain.) Patterns for leggings for girls show up throughout the '30s and '40s, usually as part of a winter ensemble including a coat and hat. This is the first time I've seen a leggings pattern for women. The option to use 1/2" studs (snap fasteners) is uncommon.
This is an unprinted pattern and does not appear to have been used.
Originally published on 21 January 2011, updated with additional documentary evidence on 23 January, 2011.
This was a very interesting post. I wonder how well those leggings stayed up while the women worked? I was also surprised that the pattern itself was in a larger size.
Wow, how fabulous! Thanks for the info on early workwear. Great post!
Mona I wondered that myself about the leggings. They have elastic around the top, so if you got your elastic just right, I imagine they'd be about like knee socks, which is to say, I'm sure they slipped after a while and you'd need to give them a yank. There is also a strap under the foot to keep them from twisting. The nice thing about the more utilitarian patterns is that they do tend to come in a wide size range.
I adore this apron! How practical and pretty! A lot of what we get today in the way of work garments are so ugly.
VERY COOL! I love it!!!!!!!!!!
Another pattern I wished I owned myself... at first I thought the coverall had sleeves and a collar and was meant to appear as a jumper, but now I think it's a sleeveless garment and the sleeves/collar are just the wearer's regular duds underneath... am I right?
I actually think those "leggings" would be a really useful addition to my own wardrobe, since I wear dresses all the time.

In response to Willow Poetry Photo Prompt - What do you See?
I was feeling all nostalgic – remembering the red phone box within sight of my mid- teens bedroom window – the anticipation of her calls – the wondering, would she? Thankfully her last call – she no longer liked me! You did this so well, Christine. Hanging up now, Eric.
Oh! Such a tragic ending.
Promised call..this brought back memories for me, the days when I waited in a phone booth for a secret call from a boyfriend my parents did not want me to see or have contact with…hehehe.
Your poem is lovely Christine. I love the ending, though it is a sad turn of event for the caller.
My pleasure, I so love your poems.
So much said in so few words 🙁 I have nominated you for a 3.2.1 Quote Me!
Loved the build up and ending of this!! Very imaginative piece from this prompt!! Bravo!!!
Very much so! Great post!!
A tragic ditty – good build up of tension.
good writing and the sadness so acute, not hearing someone’s voice for the last time is so heartbreaking, i know this for a fact. i missed that last phone call too.
You did foreshadow the ending, but I didn’t expect it to be so heartbreaking! Well written, you really surprise the reader!

The Programmable Video Rooms API enables developers to add real-time voice and video into web, mobile, and desktop applications. With the Programmable Voice integration, developers can now connect PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and SIP audio calls into their Programmable Video Rooms.
Programmable Video Rooms are represented in TwiML through the Room noun and Connect verb.
The name of the Room is up to you and is namespaced to your account.
The Programmable Voice documentation shows how to handle incoming voice calls. When a call comes in, Twilio will webhook into your webserver to request TwiML. To connect the incoming call to a Programmable Video Room, your webserver should be respond back with a TwiML response containing a noun as show above.
The Programmable Voice documentation shows how to make outgoing calls. Twilio will webhook into your webserver when the called party answers the call to request TwiML. To connect the call to a Programmable Video Room, your webserver should be respond back with a TwiML response containing a noun as show above.
Programmable Video Rooms expect every Participant to have a unique Participant identity. Every Programmable Voice participant that joins a Programmable Video Room is considered to be a new participant. You can set a unique identity on the voice caller participant using 'participantIdentity'. If participantIdentity is not provided, then Twilio will generate a random string and set it as the Participant identity.
Note: Programmable Video requires each Participant to have a unique identity. If duplicate Participants join a Programmable Video Room, then Twilio will disconnect the original duplicate participant and throw an error.

At a time when America’s optimism about the war in Iraq is exhausted, we have just witnessed the unveiling of the largest US embassy in the world in Baghdad. With $592 million dollars of emergency funding, the embassy will house 21 buildings, a water treatment plant, and an electrical plant on 104 acres within the Green Zone of Baghdad on the banks of the Tigris River.
Artist Jimmy Baker and architect Jil Baker set out to comprehend the US embassy project with only scraps of data found on the internet. Their interpretations of the heavily fortified hermetic complex expose the disparity between U.S. foreign policy’s ideology of “democratization” and this new war-fortress approach to diplomacy.
A dark figure looms in the painting Succession, which features a hybrid portrait of L. Paul Bremer [Director of Postwar reconstruction, 2003], and ambassadors John Negroponte, Zalmay Khalilzad, and Ryan Crocker. This mutation shows an uneasiness and uncertainty toward the factual progression of oversight in Iraqi relations. This uncertain future in Iraq prompts us to imagine a Kafka-esque vision of further metamorphosis for the figure in Succession. The architectural site model, Invisible Fortress, employs a three dimensional replica of what the complex might look like based on layout images that the architectural firm Berger Devine Yaeger leaked on the internet before being shut down by the State Department. This model is a saturated solid gold city cast into a mass of clear resin. Many reports have described the design to be ‘suburban’ in nature, in keeping with many accounts of life in the Green Zone. The other walls include framed images combining computer renderings of the embassy complex and screenprinted imagery depicting the turbulent existence outside of this bubble. They contrast visions of development and disaster, as they look beyond the construction phase of this behemoth site, and into its placement within the origins of human development in the Fertile Crescent.

Kraft has awarded DraftFCB the global ad account for its cracker brand Tuc, as part of the company’s plans to consolidate brands into single agency networks.
DraftFCB is believed to have won the business following a pitch against Kraft-rostered agency Euro RSCG.
The appointment comes after Kraft handed TBWA global ad duties for its hot beverage maker brand, Tassimo. The work was shifted out of Kraft incumbent Ogilvy & Mather, which continues to work on brands including Maxwell House and Crystal Light.
It is believed that Kraft is currently pitching out some of its other brands with a view to realigning them globally into single agency networks.
In November 2007, Kraft paid $7.82bn to acquire Danone’s biscuit and cereal business, which includes the LU cookie and Tuc cracker brands.
Meanwhile, Kraft is currently planning a hostile takeover bid for rival Cadbury, after its initial £10.2bn offer was rejected by the latter.
In the UK Tuc is distributed by United Biscuits.

"IT ALL COMES TOGETHER IN POKEMON SUN AND POKEMON MOON" -Reveal Trailer. There has been a conspiracy going on for years within the Pokemon games, and it all points to Sun and Moon being the climax! Could it mean the climactic ending of the Pokemon franchise? Perhaps. Lets go over all of the details, and answer some burning questions along the way. Such as "Who is Topu Koko" Will there be a "Pokemon Eclipce" What's with all of the alchemy references? Is Pokemon based on Norse Mythology? Is Pokemon based on Hinduism? And much much more... This is all crazy! I need... I need...Toby!!
I'd love to make more longer and in depth, acted-out theory videos like this, but I can only do them frequently with your support. YouTube by itself doesn't pay out enough to make it "worth it." As in for the amount of time I spent on this video, it will add up to me working for about $2 an hour, which is a bit less than my average. This is why I have a Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/Gnoggin?ty=h and every little bit helps, as it all adds up. And whether you can support me through Patreon or not, leaving a like, comment, and sharing this video helps a ton too. And until next time, you STAY AWESOME.

Hey there 10’rs, Will Hill here.
It’s rare for our team to speak as ourselves and share a little editorial, but it feels like the right moment for it.
Just short of 30 days ago, on March 15th, I made the leap from employee to owner and purchased County 10.
Since then, we’ve had a lot of questions and heard some pretty funny rumors, but until now we’ve purposely held back on making any public announcements about the new ownership. No secrets on why – we just weren’t ready. The dust needed to settle a little, you know?
Now, most of you don’t know me, but I’ve lived in Fremont County for 13 years. I’m a Flatlander by birth but have found that I prefer Wyoming to just about anywhere. My wife Stephanie and I have been married for almost 11 years and we live in Riverton with our five kids.
Stephanie and I at Fair last year.
County 10 has been my professional home for a little over four years now. Leading sales locally, I’ve connected with some amazing business owners and people from all over the County and helped them think outside-the-box about local marketing. Along the way, I discovered that this Community News Stream thing had become my passion.
I love the County 10 brand of community news, where we just share what’s happening and let the reader decide what’s important. No top stories, no by-lines, just the raw news. Our model has its challenges, for sure, but there’s no denying that County 10 has provided a common thread running through Fremont County that didn’t exist 8 years ago. Over time, I realized that my passion for community storytelling had spilled into new ideas and a sense of ownership for the County 10 brand, but, employees don’t often become owners, right? Then a series of events took place that brought about an opportunity to purchase the News Stream.
I knew I had to jump on the chance…and here we are today.
Rural Wyoming seems to move at a different pace than the rest of the world, but when I pitched my plans to a group of locals, they moved heaven and earth in a ridiculously short period of time to help make the ownership transition happen. There are good people in Fremont County. People willing to take risks in order to make great things happen here.
I also need to thank my core team. Same group, different day. Amanda Gaudern and Jerrad Anderson are the best kind of awesome. They’ve held down the fort while I went off chasing windmills and buying businesses.
If you’ve got comments or questions, I’d love to hear from you. Give me a shout at will@county10.com.

Here at Sounding Sweet our bleeding-edge facilities are what sets us apart from the competition. Our studios have been built from the ground up for a single purpose: crafting quality audio.
Muscular hardware and acoustic precision mean that every sound made, mixed, mastered or recorded at our premises is flawless. But it isn't just the equipment and architectural acoustics that make Sounding Sweet the ideal location for audio excellence.
The environment is also carefully considered to optimise creativity and performance. Bright, spacious and just homely enough, it is a setting that is comfortable and clear; perfect for directors, voice actors and engineers to find their flow and deliver at the top of their game.
Finally, our central-England location makes accessing the studio particularly easy, whether you're travelling nationally or internationally.
Our control room is packed full of the hardware and software required for top quality audio, resulting in a space that is an audio professional's dream.
All of that means you can be assured your game audio is being shaped by ideal, powerful and highly specialised tools and technology.
Whether we are recording voiceover, foley or ADR, our carefully soundproofed live rooms are built to capture every nuance. Big enough to house a live band, but still intimate for the solo actor finding their character voice, the live rooms are intrinsically linked with the technology of our control room, meaning absolute harmony between perforce and capture.
The live rooms are also fitted with video and audio fold back from the control room. That allows us to provide a visual feed and script to an actor trying to understand their character, or the likes of a ProTools feed to a foley professional keen to pursue precision.
And we can link our live rooms to remote control rooms when necessary. Equally, should your project require an orchestra or large choir, for example, we can provide access to larger recording volumes, perhaps overdubbing and refining back at our on-site facility.

Yesterday, we had a partner meeting with Hubspot. Super fun, really delicious lunch and we had some deep talk about “what will be the next thing in/after inbound marketing”.
Right now, we are building up strategies and plans on how we as an agency can help our customers with inbound marketing. We also talked about the future and what will be the next step after inbound marketing. Some of us had a really long and deep strategic view of the generation of tomorrow and the other was more leaning to quick conversations such as chat bot.
What are your thoughts on inbound? Mine is that cold calling is obsolete and a tool that might give a quick buck, but in the long term will damage the brand. If you think about it, you don’t really see Apple cold calling.
We are already planing to build a new dedicated DEV team. In a couple of weeks we will tell you more about our plans!

2018 has been the a game changer for my skin. I am more into beauty products than ever before. I guess It's never to late to start, although the earliest the better.
One of the things I have been trying are face masks. After finding out that face masks help release our skin of excessive oils, it opens our pours and rejuvenates our skin, all while relaxing on my bed, I knew I had to give it a try!
The first mask I ever tried was the Sephora Collection Face Mask! Green tea face mask to be exact! I like my skin to feel clean and hydrated! That's exactly the feeling I get with this mask. This one I use mainly before I travel. The night before I like to prep my skin for all the make up I will use while on holiday. Make up dries my face a lot, so I use this to prep my skin.
Summer Friday's Jet Lag Mask: This is my new obsession! Now that I started chemo, I have been using it every other day before bed. My favorite part, I don't have to wash it off!
Caudalie Instant Detox Mask: This helps my skin detox making it feel bright and rejuvenated! Give it a try you won’t regret it! I use it a few times a month.
Ever since I began to use them my face has been thanking me for it! What are your favorites face masks? Anything I should be trying right now?
When it comes to beauty, I'm probably not the only girl in the world who thinks less is more. I have never been one to use an excessive amount of make up or try a ton of beauty products. I keep it very simple with my makeup (that's another post on it's own) and stick to products that I already know. Lets just say I am not very adventurous when it comes to what I put on my face.
But of course, age it's catching up and if I don't do something to this face I'll end up looking ancient pretty fast. So I have been giving my face a little TLC.
Here's a little info about my skin. I have pretty dry skin, a little rosacea not too much, and huge dark circles, some might think they're not that big.. but that's because they are not on their faces, to me, they're HUGE!
I thought I'll share the five skin care products I have been using ever since I decided to give my skin some love!
Caudalie Beauty Elixir: The truth is, I had no idea this existed and didn't even know what was the purpose of it until I was introduced to it at a Project NM event. I literally can't live without it these days. I use it every morning and every night before my moisturizer. It makes my skin feel refreshed and clean.
OLEHENRIKSEN Nurture Me™ Moisturizing Crème: This is my daytime moisturizer. I love this one because it does not feel heavy on my skin, helps with my rosacea and it smells AMAZING!
Avenno Positively Radiant Night Cream: I use this product every night on my face and neck. It helps my skin feel rejuvenated.
OriginsEye Doctor™ Moisture Care For Skin Around Eyes: The cure to my dark circles! I can see the difference the moment I put it on. A little goes a long way with this one! Can't live without it!
Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes: I absolutely love these towels. Some people believe that you should not use wipes, but when u are as lazy as I am, you need wipes! I have been using them for years!
Have you ever tried any of these products? What are your skin care favs?

Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi will miss the English Premiership final after receiving a five-week ban on Wednesday for punching Northampton's Chris Ashton in last weekend's playoff semi-final, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) announced.
The suspension rules Samoa-born England prospect Tuilagi, 20, out of the Premiership final against Saracens at Twickenham on May 28.
He will also miss all of the second string England Saxons matches in next month's Churchill Cup, which would have given him a chance to stake a Test claim ahead of England's World Cup warm-up matches in August.
Tuilagi, who admitted the charge, was suspended by a RFU panel chaired by disciplinary officer Judge Jeff Blackett in London on Wednesday.
The ban starts on Thursday and expires on June 23.
Tuilagi caught England wing Ashton with three punches in quick succession during the Tigers' 11-3 win against Northampton at Welford Road.
The Premiership's young player of the year escaped a red card and was, together with Ashton, sent to the sin-bin by Wayne Barnes following his consultation with touch judge Robin Goodliffe.
But Tuilagi was cited on Tuesday, paving the way for Wednesday's hearing.

Kittens and puppies and ballet—oh my!
Due to the popular demand for our upcoming run of “Black & White: Swan Lake,” we’ve added a special command performance on Tuesday, February 14. But that’s not the best part: We’ve partnered with the good folks at Humane Society of West Michigan (HSWM), too, and it’s called “Pas & Paws” (see what we did there?).
What does that mean exactly? Well, a sizable portion of the proceeds from the evening’s ticket sales will go to help in HSWM’s mission to promote the humane treatment and responsible care of animals through education, example, placement, and protection, that’s what. How great is that?
So, in addition to enjoying the amazing performance of “Black & White: Swan Lake,” you’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about the services provided by HSWM, including the adoption process. We even hear there will even be a few furry four-legged friends in attendance—in bow ties!—to greet guests in the lobby.

A recent report has suggested that the global supplements industry is soaring to levels that have never been seen before. It’s understood that it will reach $7,100 Mn by 2023, which equates to a CAGR rate of 9.5%.
While the market used to have quite a concentrated target audience, this is changing substantially. Now, the fact that people are concerned a lot more with their appearance means that these supplements have a huge area to cover – and the numbers suggest that companies are succeeding in covering it.
Unlike a lot of industries which are experiencing significant growth, beauty supplements operate in a hugely fragmented market. In other words, there are places for both large and small companies; you don’t get the big fish running proceedings, so to speak. In terms of the smaller companies, these tend to focus on speciality products, leaving the large R&D programs to the larger companies. When it comes to these larger projects, companies tend to compete with their prices, promotion and distribution options.
The beauty market is actually broken down into a lot of smaller segments; namely skin care, nail care, dental care, hair care and others. The “others” category covers overall health supplements. Out of all of these categories, there’s no doubt that the skin care is the one which brings in the biggest returns for the industry, holding a 30% share of the overall market. In 2015, the hair care category was next in line.
In terms of geographic performance, there are several areas in which this industry covers according to the latest report. These come in the form of Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, North America and Africa. If we turn to the figures from 2015, it was found that Europe held the biggest market for beauty supplements. If we drill down into the statistics even further, Western Europe (which covers the likes of the U.K., Germany, France, Spain and Italy) were the biggest players. The reason for this is understood to be related to the higher amounts of disposable income that are held in these nations. Additionally, it’s thought that those residing in this area of the world have greater concerns about their aesthetic appearance.
Even though Europe is by far and away the biggest player, in terms of the concentration of companies it’s North America that come out on top. The likes of Lifes2good, Inc. and HUM Nutrition, Inc. are right up there, although Europe of course has its own key players in the form of Murad UK, Ltd. and Meiji Holdings Co., Ltd.
The big takeaway from the report was that there is much more awareness from customers in relation to health awareness nowadays, and the statistics show that this is fuelling the industry no-end. Additionally, products are now easier than ever before to obtain through the power of the internet.
While Europe is the biggest region in relation to performance now, it’s understood that Asia Pacific is progressing significantly and this is going to prompt even more demand for these products in the next few years.
