A person repeatedly that their extraordinary claims are “absolutely certain”, not “a joke”, “entirely accurate” or something like that. If their claims are genuine, then claims must stand on its own merits. The constant repetition of statements intended to strengthen the validity of their claims would not be necessary. The claim someone is not realistic and does not make sense. People such as Professor Roy Taylor would likely agree. Remember what they say about things too good to be true? Someone once showed me an ad in which a “developer house” was looking for people to build homes for and only wanted $ 500 upfront. Curiously, he said he preferred people with bad credit on those with good credit.
Obviously, he knew that people with bad credit are often the most desperate and gullible. Finally, was prosecuted for fleeing with more than $ 1 million stolen “by the payments.” Someone dropping the conspiracy theories. First Instead, take a look at those people who believe in conspiracy theories. They are the same who believe that professional wrestling is real. Want to be grouped with them? Second, as is the case of so-called secrets, real conspiracies would be exposed by the media in a very short time.
Big conspiracy as some people are constantly based on could not be kept secret for long. At a minimum, the media would be interested in following states that the person conspiracy, if indeed there was some semblance of validity. 5) A person who uses religion to try to convince them that you can trust. His sales pitch involves the repetitive use of words and phrases like “praise the Lord,” “Hallelujah,” “God bless you”, “Glory to God”, etc. If you ever meet someone like that, they cling to their wallet and run the other as fast as possible. True Christians would never use religion as an asset attempting to increase their sales. someone claims that their get rich quick scheme, weight loss program, etc. is “easy.” Anything worthwhile in life requires effort and is never really easy. Also, if it were easy, everyone would be doing it and people would not be struggling to make a living and / or weight, for example. A person does wide-eyed claims that their product (who have never heard of before) is “surprising” or “revolutionary.” If it were really “surprising” or “revolutionary”, someone who that person and his followers would also be making the complaint about the product. Someone wants to sell his “system” to make money that will make you rich. The obvious problem is that if your system is so good, why waste time telling you about it and try to sell you? Why are not using this great system to make money for themselves? The truth is that your money making system consists exclusively of the sale of seedlings of money making system!

Stretch-marks are injuries of the dermis of variable length.
In reality, it is a pathological state of the connective tissue of the dermis, characterized by localized excessive fibrosis in the form of strings which is the result of the rupture and poor quality of the previously existing fibers. We could say that stretch-marks are scars of the skin tissue.
Stretch-marks appear especially and more or less frequently in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, bust area, lumbar area, arms and legs. Women normally suffer from stretch-marks during puberty and pregnancy.
Currently there is no therapeutic treatment to completely make the stretch-marks disappear. They normally fade away over the years, until they become almost invisible.
We can try to prevent them, although only in an empirical way, with massages that stimulate the cutaneous circulation and with active ingredients that help in the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Day: Repeat the same protocol during the night.
Night: Make pinching movements (in order to stimulate the blood circulation) on the area to be treated and apply Spa Reaffirming Cream.
Apply once a week and during two months: AHA Fruit Forte Complex Intensive Exfoliant on the damaged area.
Cleanse the area to be treated with Pure Skin Foam Cleanser.
Remove with sponges or facial gauzes with warm water.
Carry out a peeling, by applying one ampoule of AHA Fruit Forte Complex Intensive Exfoliant with a cosmetic brush of Glycolic Acid.
Let it work during 10 minutes and remove it with sponges or a facial gauze moistened with warm water.
Once the product is removed, provoke a hyperemia with fingertips, using the pinching technique.
Ionize or apply manually, one ampoule of Bio-Sveltine Reducing/Reaffirming until its total absorption.
Without removing the product, apply an Alginatos Mask CA-37 and let it work during 20 minutes.
Remove the product completely. Remove possible leftover product with cotton pads, moistened with Natura Essential Tonic Lotion.
Complete the treatment doing a roller massage, using Spa Reaffirming Cream.
It is recommendable to give 2 treatments per week during the first month, and once per week during the following month.
Note: It is absolutely necessary to follow the exact indications for the home treatment, as recommended by the professional. | 2019-04-24T20:51:28 | https://www.albertdarnal.com/english/problems-and-cosmetic-solutions/strech-marks/ |

Abby Remis with Dr. Michael Freed, who was head of the Department of Cardiology at Boston Children’s Hospital at the time of her surgery. He now heads a fund in her name.
JUNE 21, 2018, ANDOVER – It was 4 on a Friday afternoon, and things were winding down. Cindy Remis had just taken her baby daughter, Abby, to the doctor for her nine-month checkup, and everything seemed to be in order. Cindy was out the door when a last-minute question popped into her head. She walked back into the pediatrician’s office and mentioned that Abby had been sweating a lot.
This concerned their pediatrician, who ordered a chest X-ray. It revealed that Abby’s heart was abnormally large, and more testing needed to be done. Eventually, doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital diagnosed Abby with a rare birth defect called ALCAPA, or anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. ALCAPA occurs when the left coronary artery, which carries blood to the heart muscle, begins from the pulmonary artery instead of the aorta. The infant would need open-heart surgery.
The surgery was a success, and Abby slowly recovered. Now, 12 years later, Abby is a seventh-grader at the Pike School in Andover who volunteers at her synagogue’s kindergarten. She loves drama, music, and arts and crafts, and just celebrated her bat mitzvah on June 2.
While she has no memory of her illness, Abby knows she owes her life to the doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital. When it came time for her bat mitzvah, she wanted to give back. Every bar or bat mitzvah at Temple Emanuel in Andover is required to do a mitzvah project, and Remis immediately knew she would help Children’s Hospital.
A talented artist, Abby made rainbow loom bracelets and sold them at her school, her synagogue, and to friends and family. The project was a phenomenal success. She sold over 600 bracelets, and donated the $4,000 she raised to the hospital. Her family also set up a fund in her name that pays for a world-renowned cardiologist from another hospital to teach the cardiology fellows at Boston Children’s Hospital new skills.
The doctors’ training culminates in a dinner that the Remis family has attended for the past three years. This year, for the first time, Abby gave a speech telling her story. She then presented the hospital with a check for $3,500. Since the dinner, she has raised $500 more.
What a heartwarming story to start the day!
Matt & Cindy…..hope your cheeks don’t hurt too much after smiling so big and bright!!!!! Very inspiring.
Congratulations to Abby and kudos to her parents because they taught their daughter the value of paying it forward. Go Abby!
What an amazing girl! It speaks volumes about Abby’s character to read about her wonderful and very ambitious project!
That is an amazing story! She’s an awesome girl who deserves all of the praise she will certainly receive! | 2019-04-20T04:27:03 | http://jewishjournal.org/2018/06/21/andover-bat-mitzvah-girl-gives-back-to-hospital-that-saved-her/ |

Today we continue our series of bulletin articles looking at why abortion is wrong. Last week we saw that the prophet Moses condemned abortion, this week we see that other prophets also condemned abortion.
In 2 Kings we read about the prophet Elisha meeting the future king of Syria (Aram), Hazael. During the conversation Elisha begins to cry at the thought of Hazael killing Israelites, including the unborn: ‘Then the man of God began to weep. “Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the harm you will do to the Israelites,” he answered. “You will set fire to their fortified places, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little children to the ground, and rip open their pregnant women” (2 Kings 8:11-12). Hazael will murder many including the unborn and Elisha considers this a horrible thing to even consider, let alone witness.
And Elisha is not alone. The Ammonites were also long term enemies of the Israelites and were regularly involved in conflict with them. So Amos pronounces judgement upon them: ‘This is what the LORD says: “For three sins of Ammon, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to extend his borders, I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah that will consume her fortresses amid war cries on the day of battle, amid violent winds on a stormy day. Her king will go into exile, he and his officials together,” says the LORD’ (Amos 1:13-15). God considers Ammon’s behaviour atrocious. They killed the unborn so that they could prosper financially. Thus God punishes them.
And there is no reason to suggest God has changed his mind. Those who kill the unborn are not committing a decent act, or even a neutral act. God considers what they are doing as indecent and will ultimately punish them.
But is the abortion of an infant an unforgivable sin? No. Through repentance of your sin and trust in Jesus’ death for your sins you can be forgiven for any sin, including the wrongful termination of another human.
Do you recognise that abortion is wrong because it is condemned by the prophets and thus condemned by God? | 2019-04-26T05:40:30 | http://www.drummoynebaptist.org.au/2011/05/09/abortion-is-a-sin-because-it-is-condemned-by-the-prophets/ |

For us, biodiversity and sustainable materials are not fashionable words, but intrinsic to everything we are and do.
Biological diversity really comes down to ‘natural variety’, and every space, on the ground or on a roof, however large or small, can support wildlife, both animals and plants.
The type of green roof planting and habitat creation we provide is designed to enrich an area or structure with biological diversity.
We encourage the use of a variety of growing substrates and substrate depth to ensure that a range of plants can grow, but as importantly, a range of different bugs can find refuge on the roof.
Some bugs like bare and very dry habitats and roofs are ideal to create this type of habitat. Certain bee species rely on flowers with special sepals, such as the Trefoils, Toadflaxes and Vetches.
It is also important to ensure that there are flowers in bloom from April to September. This provides a food source for bees throughout their foraging season. Plants, like Toadflax, which flower mid to late summer and early spring bulbs, such as Grape Hyacinth help at either end of the season.
Toadflax is also important for a rare UK moth, the Toadflax Brocade. The Common Blue butterfly feeds on bird’s foot trefoil and medicks. The Small Blue feeds on Kidney Vetch. The Dingy Skipper’s caterpillars also feed on Bird’s Foot Trefoil as well as Horseshoe Vetch. Rock-rose, Crane’s and Stork’s-bill species are good for the Brown Argus. As some grasses colonise the roof, other butterfly species, such as the Meadow Brown and Small Heath might find food plants on the roof.
It is also good to have a mind for the bugs, which though small and unassuming find refuge on derelict/brownfield sites and dry grasslands. The increasingly rare small black beetle (name?), depends on Autumn Hawkbit; as this plant flowers late in the year, it also provides an ideal nectar source for bees and butterflies.
The importance of providing larger stones and pieces of timber as give added humidity on the roofs for spiders and beetles. Birds make use of these structures for perching while searching food.
Logs, both dried and rotting, are important for a whole range of bugs. Some like the sun beaten logs to nest in, while rotting logs can host a range of invertebrates that include stag beetles. Boulders and bare areas can be very important too. There are a number of spiders that like to hunt in these areas, such as money, wolf and crab spider species. Small mounds of coarse sand can be habitat for a number of mining and solitary bees to nest on the roof.
‘Study of invertebrates on green roofs – How roof design can maximize biodiversity in an urban environment.’ Research undertaken by Gyongyver Kadas.
We can always try to answer questions about plants and wildlife, but for local expertise your local Wildlife Trust is a great place to start. Local soil types, corresponding native plants, and feeding and nesting wildlife all vary greatly around the country.
Much of the materials in a Green Roof Shelter are reclaimed, re-used, or recycled. From the re-use of shipping containers, to reclaimed timber used as cladding & roof fascias, reclaimed aggregates & substrates for planting, and recycled plastic ‘lumber’ for rotproof retaining plates. Habitat panels combine a mix of found materials for invertebrate nesting & overwintering.
Re-used materials vary greatly as to what is recovered, be it re-used decking from seaside piers, cedar planking from school buildings, or granite from railway tracks. They’re all great materials to re-use. For anything exposed the the elements that would be liable to rot, we use recycled plastic ‘lumber’, made from collected waste plastics.
We try to be intelligent about using new materials (and have considerable material experience), sourcing those which have the lowest environmental impact long term.
Many ‘new’ materials are already part recycled. Mill steel and aluminium contain significant proportions of recycled material (usually dependent on current metal values/prices; the higher the world price, the more economical it is to collect & reintegrate recycled metals).
Most of the new timber we use is European softwood, and all the new timber we use is FSC certified.
Our re-used shipping containers have usually traveled in excess of 50,000 miles. The life to date of the container is inscribed in the registration and payload information on the container doors. As part of the container’s refurbishment, the whole has been repainted, and the container data reapplied.
We can also take existing containers away and replace with a completely refurbished container with planted green roofs and habitat walls.
Our green roofs keep the container interior cool in hot weather, and because the container has two roof layers protecting it from the elements, it’s life is considerably extended.
We use growing mediums that are made from recycled secondary wastes – recycled crushed brick, organic green waste compost, recycled ceramics. We do not use imported material such as pumice.
A low nutrient level is necessary to allow wildflowers to thrive without grasses and other plants out-competing them. Grasses will often colonise with time.
In most cases a green roof won’t be green all the time. It is important to understand that a green roof will vary through the seasons. In long hot dry summers no natural grassland will be green we can’t expect a green roof to be. With the right approach it is possible to ensure that there is flowering from March through to October.
Patience can be important. Many of our roofs have been around for a number of years and each year we look forward to seeing how they have changed. What new plants have arrived? What is going to flourish this year?
The green roof shelter system uses recycled plastic supplied by Filcris.
90% of our habitat walls come from a reclaimed source, whether it be reclaimed cedar for the frames, local logs, rocks, sheeps wool and other materials. Materials that get taken by birds for nesting, will need to be replaced over time. Locally found materials will always be the ideal for creating habitat panels.
We promote the use of native plants, especially in terms of meeting local and region biodiversity targets for butterflies, insects and other invertebrates. We would normally include some non-native flowering plants to extend the nectar season for solitary bees, hoverflies, butterflies and moths. We can obviously plant according to your needs, and are very happy to give advice.
We source our small plant plugs and seeds from recognised native suppliers as certified by FloraLocale.
Our roofs can be planted responsively to target species, so pocket habitats can be established with particular plants identified as food sources.
When used in public spaces, the wild plants on roofs tend to be free from accidental or mismanaged herbicide spraying. | 2019-04-20T05:07:12 | https://greenroofshelters.co.uk/biodiversity-sustainable-materials/ |

Anyone know of any more? As usual, good videos on both side of the debate are desired.
What is the debate you are trying to get at? The one between whether global warming is real or not or whether it is man-made or some sort of cycle (assuming it is real).
I'm looking into the brouhaha on both sides--the alarmists and the deniers--and how it's getting in the way of public understanding of the real science and finding a good solution.
So ... how bad is it really?
I'm looking forward to it. Potholer54 has made a great video about the scientific debate going on.
actually, i think this was just a teaser of things to come. If i'm not mistaken, Potholer plans a pretty in depth video(s) about it.
I suggest "Global Heating Swindle Swindle"
And I'm not talking about the TV show.
Cool, this topic is the subject of a debate I'm doing in my college comp course.
Warning: Student. What I say may set off bogon detectors!
See this for an excellent argument against Global Warming!
If indeed the earth’s glaciers are melting, attempting to stop them from melting by covering them with reflective material wouldn’t work. According to Global Warming proponents the earth’s temperature is increasing. So what good would it do to cover the glaciers? The sun’s rays are not the problem. This just shows the fallacy of Global Warming. One minute they claim that the earth’s temperature is rising, and then they set out to protect Greenland’s glaciers from the sun’s rays. Well, which is it, the sun’s rays or the higher temperatures on earth? If, as Global Warming proponents claim, the earth’s temperatures are rising, then protecting glaciers from the sun’s rays is a complete waste of time and money.
Damn, I think he is onto us!
Here is something you guys might of missed and I hear it a lot from Christian groups, as an argument against Global Warming.
"[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said that she's just trying to save the planet," Bachmann told the right-wing news site OneNewsNow. "We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet -- we didn't need Nancy Pelosi to do that."
Makes me worried that these people are in Office.
Alarmist: It's not the sun, it's the greenhouse gases!
Denier: It's not the greenhouse gases, it's the sun!
Actual Scientist: It's both, you morons!
The alarmists and deniers together have set up a false dichotomy, which does not include the actual science. | 2019-04-23T04:38:50 | https://www.bogosity.tv/forum/index.php/topic,5.msg41.html |

Wintry weather has left Dublin freezing in recent weeks, as snow, frost, and ice have become a regular sight around the city.
But that's all set to change today, when temperatures are finally set to rise and more mild conditions hit the capital.
Met Eireann says that highest temperatures will be between 8 or 9 degrees Celsius this Tuesday, on what will be a mostly cloudy and mainly dry day.
However, the warmer weather comes with a catch, as persistent rain is set to spread eastwards across Leinster this evening, and downpours will turn heavy at times.
Luckily that rain shouldn't last too long, with clear weather forecast from early on this evening as winds also begin to ease.
Overall, it will be mainly dry with clear spells tonight, but that means frost and icy patches will develop as lowest temperatures hit between -2 and +2 degrees Celsius - so don't put away the hot water bottle just yet! | 2019-04-19T06:53:31 | https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/dublin-weather-temperatures-finally-set-14129509 |
Got the 3 pin socket, had it read, said cooling fan relays, both of which are fine, it was a broken wire, wire now fixed, both fans come on, but light remains, not paying to keep having it checked so bought a 3 pin reader kit to see if I can turn it off myself and also read future problems.
No that didn't work either.
I entered "2001, CI Riviera 141, Fiat Ducato 2.8jtd"
There is a "MSN Messenger Handle" option on that page, wonder if its getting its knickers in a twist with that?
I can assure you that if I do have a fit, it will not be a hissy fit....so there.
Now get that finger going and sort yourself out lad.If it is too difficult for you ..ask the missus.
No one mentioned HISSY Pip you brought that on your ownnio.
Are you ashamed of your own van then. How is your back reaching down that far to the oven and as for that step, will you need a stanner soon to go with it.

Steven Halpern is one of the most influential voices in New Age music. This Grammy award nominated artist has had a career spanning more than forty years. His style is comprised of New Age, Jazz, rhythmic world fusion and healing meditation and with each piece, he connects with the listener on an emotive and soul kindling level. The music from this comprehensive album is derived from the following albums: Deep Alpha, Connections, Relaxation Suite, Ancient Echoes, Dawn, Deja-Blues, Afro-Desia and Deep Theta 2.0. All pre-2005 recordings were remastered to match the hi-definition sound of the tracks recorded from 2005 through 2015.
Guest musicians in Among Friends are: Paul Horn, Paul McCandless, Jai Uttal, David Darling, Michael Manring, Georgia Kelly, Suru Ekeh, Dallas Smith, Marc Van Wageningen, Jorge Alfano, Michael Diamond, David Friesen, Mark Bell, Kat Epple and George Marsh.
One of the most remarkable things about this artist is his ability to delve into the spiritual nature of the listener and evoke images of calm. “Shared Secrets” is such a piece and was originally on the Connections album. Golden flute and keyboards combine to give a deeply thoughtful sound experience that takes you into yourself. The essence of tranquility can be heard within the notes of this song. Some days that indeed feels like a secret-to find peace in a hectic world.
“Mello Cello” is a breathless awakening. Electronica, a light ethereal buzz and the seductive sound of string music awakens your senses. This piece is one of my favorites on the album.
“Deja-Blues” is from the album of the same name. Bluesy with flutes, drum beats and vocalizations, this piece wraps around you like smoke. Twisting and turning, it has a flavor of world music about it with a sweet sadness that digs down into the marrow of your being.
“Afro-Desia” is originally from the self-titled album. Evocative with world music beats and a jazzy flair, this piece is full of life. Colorful, it brings to mind the vibrant people from the African Continent. Percussive elements entwine with multi-instrumentation to craft a buoyant tune that floats along the river of life.
The songs in this retrospective album all come from places in the history of a great composer and performer. Steven Halpern is a founding member of the New Age movement and has paved the way for many artists in his wake. His use of sound for spiritual healing and stress relief is a gift and I highly recommend his work if you need a bit of respite from the outside world. | 2019-04-21T18:12:39 | http://www.muzikmanreviews.com/2015/06/new-age-review-steven-halpern-among.html |

Love your post! The Grim Reaper, deep! I definitely envisioned him in my mind!
Thanks. It’s crazy how these thoughts envelope one at a little push. I just found out I scribbled about my Dad only when I finished the tale. Strange I still recall the events like it happened yesterday.

If things had gone according to the original plan, undefeated South Korean bantamweight Ji Yeon Kim would be making her UFC debut against former champion Holly Holm when the UFC touches down in Singapore later this month. Regrettably, Holm turned this fight down, and Kim was instead paired with rangy Czech fighter Lucie Pudilová.
Despite the lesser-known opponent, Kim told BJPenn.com’s Chris Taylor that she’s very excited about her imminent UFC debut.
Kim is also pleased that this debut will go down in Singapore, which is relatively close to her home in Korea.
Kim then gave a quick assessment of her opponent, who came up short in her recent UFC debut, losing to Lina Lansberg.
Though Holm would have been an incredible opponent for her UFC debut, Kim believes Pudilová is probably a more realistic for that debut.
How do you think Ji Yeon Kim will do in her UFC debut? | 2019-04-24T10:49:10 | https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/exclusive-interviews/ufc-singapore-ji-yeon-kim/ |

Amazon Spain Has Cancelled Crackdown 3 Preorders, Is Another Delay Coming? | 2019-04-19T16:23:08 | https://segmentnext.com/2018/05/31/best-gaming-deals-of-the-day-battlefield-1/ |
The ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence committees and the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee have all issued calls for Obama to “seek justice” for the alleged attack.
But should Obama publicly point the finger at the Kremlin, it could expose covert intelligence capabilities and damage already touchy discussions over Russia’s behavior in Syria and Ukraine, experts say.
The FBI has opened an investigation into the hack, but because of the risks, experts say, the public is unlikely to ever know the results, even if it is able to prove Russia’s guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt.
But it is next to impossible to attribute any cyberattack with absolute certainty, security experts say, and the White House may be unwilling to go that far without definitive proof.
The U.S. could hack back at Russia.
Another consideration Obama has with a cyberattack is that it would likely be done in secret, meaning he would continue to face pressure to respond to Russia.
The White House could employ a similar tactic with Russia — either imposing sanctions or leveraging the threat of sanctions — but experts note that the U.S.’s financial ties with Russia are far shallower than its ties with China.
Because there are many sanctions already in place, the impact of such a tactic would be limited. It could anger Putin without exacting any meaningful punishment.
But the move did prompt China to walk away from cybersecurity discussions with the U.S. Beijing eventually came back to the table, but not until a year later.
One thing that Obama could do is put out a general public statement drawing a red line at attacks on the electoral system.
Perhaps the most likely response to the hack is that State Department officials will raise the issue with their Russian counterparts, something that Secretary of State John Kerry has already done.
“I raised the question, and we will continue to work to see precisely what those facts are,” Kerry said last month.
Both the White House and the Kremlin have suggested that the hack — and whatever action the U.S. might take in response — would only be symptomatic of an already frayed diplomatic relationship. | 2019-04-20T08:48:51 | http://www.velvetrevolution.us/2016/08/08/obama-in-tough-spot-with-russia/ |
The preservation of the reserve has seen the population of the monkeys increase exponentially in recent years and entry fees from visiting the Monkey Forest assist in this ongoing conservation.
The monkeys are fed each day by the park rangers, however visitors are able to purchase bananas to feed the monkeys if they wish.
It is no recommended to pat the monkeys, because they are wild animals and may act out aggressively. However you can get up close to most monkeys and sit next to them to take a photo. Most monkeys are unfazed by people, so wont react to you most of the time. | 2019-04-22T19:00:23 | http://balinicetour.com/en/baliinfo/11/ubud--monkey-forest.html |
When homeowners in Escondido are in need of window replacement Escondido, they can turn to US Window & Door, an experienced and reliable independent business that serves the Southern California region. Our well-trained and highly skilled staff can help you find the replacement windows you need from our vast selection of window styles and sizes in wood, fiberglass, vinyl, and aluminum. We carry only the top brands of windows that have been manufactured to exceed industry standards, and we guarantee high-quality and professional installation services. If you are looking for window replacement in Escondido, contact US Window & Door to schedule a free in-home estimate at your convenience.
There are various reasons for Escondido homeowners to get window replacement Escondido. Whether their old window is malfunctioning or they are looking for a more energy efficient window with curb appeal, Escondido homeowners are choosing US Window & Door for their window replacement Escondido needs.
The most common reason by far is that their old windows are wearing out. Often, they notice that their old windows are letting in a draft even when you shut them tightly, or they start to have trouble opening and closing windows that have begun to warp or swell with moisture. Also, old windows may not look as good as they did when they were new, due to weather damage, mildew, stains, and other cosmetic issues. .
Another major reason for window replacement Escondido is a desire to cut down on energy costs. In the past, window manufacturers made all windows with a single layer of glazing, or glass. In recent years, though, advances in technology have led to the development of highly energy-efficient windows that utilize multiple layers of glazing, gas-filled air pockets, and unique low-emissivity coatings to minimize the transfer of heat between the outside and the inside of the house. Consequently, replacing old windows can lead to significant monthly savings on electricity and/or gas bills.
Homeowners also seek out window replacement Escondido to improve the appearance of their home, especially if they are considering putting the house on the market. New windows can brighten up the exterior of a house, adding significantly to its curb appeal. New windows also offer a clean, bright view from inside the house and enhance the quality of light in a room.
Also, many of our customers are looking for home window replacement Escondido because they want a product that requires less maintenance than the windows they currently have. They want stress-free windows that need a minimum of care and no painting or touch-ups.
Finally, many of our customers are looking for windows that will increase their home’s security. Since we manufacture our windows with security features that meet or exceed local forced entry codes, they are a popular choice for homeowners who want to keep intruders out while making sure their family members can quickly exit through the windows if necessary.
Our top-of-the-line Milgard windows Escondido are available in four types of materials: wood, fiberglass, vinyl, and aluminum. Milgard makes all frames with the highest standards, but each material has certain advantages. Typically the style of the home along with the homeowner’s tastes and budget considerations are the main factors in choosing a frame material.
At US Window & Door, we carry wooden frames in Milgard’s Essence series. These Escondido replacement windows are manufactured with both wood and fiberglass. The wooden portion of the window faces the interior of the house, where homeowners can enjoy the warmth and beauty of the natural wood grain. The exterior of the window, however, is made of much more weather-resistant fiberglass. Also, these windows feature interior channels that drain away any moisture before it can damage the wood.
Fiberglass is an increasingly popular window frame material because it offers many of the advantages of wood with none of the maintenance (i.e., sealing, staining, and painting) that wood requires. Fiberglass composite has the look of wood, and while it doesn’t require painting, it can be painted if the owner wants to change the color. Unlike wood, which absorbs moisture, fiberglass gently expands and contracts at the same rate as the window glass it holds, making it a stronger and more airtight window.
Milgard’s vinyl windows are heat-resistant and virtually maintenance free. Moreover, the window frames reflect UV rays through two coats of finish, ensuring that Escondido ca vinyl windows can look like new for many years.
Aluminum is an ideal material for thin window frames that maximize the view. Because aluminum grows stronger in the extruding process, a thin frame can hold a very large piece of glass. Aluminum frames are especially popular for commercial and industrial Escondido window replacement. They may also be the best choice in homes where you desire an extra-large picture window. While aluminum is durable, it is not as weather-resistant as other materials, and exposure to moisture can lead to corrosion over time.
Homes in Escondido run the gamut of architectural styles, though Spanish, Craftsman, and mid-century homes tend to be the most popular. At US Window & Door, we have windows for every style of house, from traditional to modern. The following are the most popular styles for window replacement Escondido.
Picture windows are fixed windows designed to provide a comprehensive and clear view through an undivided pane of glass. Radius windows are a type of picture window with two right angles and a rounded top.
Bay windows are beautiful windows that provide excellent curb appeal and add charm to a home’s interior as well. These windows are made of three fixed windows, and the two on each side angle outward from the front of the house. Bow windows are very similar to bay windows, but they are constructed with four or more panes of glass.
These windows are the most common windows purchased for window replacement Escondido. Both types are built with two sashes. With a single-hung window, only the bottom sash can be opened and closed while the upper sash is fixed. A double-hung window has two movable sashes; the top can be lowered, or the bottom can be raised.
There are two types of horizontal windows awnings and sliders. Awnings are operated with a crank. When the user turns the crank, the window, which is hinged at the top, opens outward. Sliders are constructed like single and double-hung windows with a sash or sashes that slide to the left or right.
Like awnings, casement windows are operated with a crank, making them an ideal choice for windows that are hard to reach. Casement windows open outward, like a door, and are popular choices for kitchen windows, as they let in a lot of light and provide ventilation.
The cost of window replacement Escondido depends on a variety of factors, including the frame material, the style of window, the size of the window, and the installation process. At US Window & Door, we promise a quick and professional window installation Escondido with a lifetime guarantee.

Bikram is all about concentration and focus, but it can be difficult to stay in the zone when your feet start cramping up. Bikram -- also called "hot" -- yoga is fairly intense, so some muscle soreness and cramping is to be expected. By ensuring that you're properly hydrated and checking your posture and technique, you should be able to keep cramping at bay. If not, a quick break and a soothing massage can get you back in the game.
Check your posture and alignment. When your posture is off, it can create excess pressure in the feet. For instance, when you're in Balancing Stick pose, leaning too far forward could put excess pressure on the balls of your feet, when the weight should be evenly spread through the feet instead.
Spread your toes and ensure that when you are in poses that require foot balance, your weight is evenly distributed along all four corners of the feet. Rolling to your instep can also cause cramping along the inside of your foot, so keep your feet flat on the floor and avoid rolling inward. This is especially important during challenging poses, like Standing Head to Knee.
Modify poses that feel too intense on your feet or if your feet begin to cramp. For instance, Awkward pose requires you to balance your full body weight onto the balls of your feet, which can cause pain. Use flat feet in that pose until you gain the strength and balance to distribute the weight more efficiently and can maintain the pose without cramping.
Massage your feet with a yoga strap during seated poses. Cramped muscles can contract and affect your ability to stretch. When in Corpse or Separate Leg Stretching pose, wrap a strap around the balls of your feet and tug upward with your hands to stretch out and massage your cramped feet before going into the second set of poses.
Swap your usual bottle of water for an electrolyte drink. Water is typically fine for moderate exercise under 60 minutes, but since a hot yoga class typically lasts for 90 minutes, you may need to replace the potassium and sodium lost through sweat, as well as the water. A salty sports drink can ward off muscle cramps related to a potassium deficiency, allowing you to finish class in comfort. | 2019-04-25T18:12:04 | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/avoid-foot-cramping-during-bikram-yoga-6368.html |

In a move designed to boost long-term lending to local businesses and private borrowers in the Western Balkans and Croatia, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is extending up to €500 million for on-lending to partner banks.
The funds are being provided under the Western Balkans and Croatia Finance Framework IV (WBFF IV), structured to accommodate potential demand for additional financing as a result of the recent floods in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia.
The EU, World Bank and UN are working with the authorities in the affected countries to prepare a damage assessment report over the next few weeks.
The WBFF IV will provide credit lines as well as equity, hybrid instruments and guarantees to local banks and non-banking financial institutions in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia for on-lending to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and private borrowers.
It will also aim to expand underserved or new segments of the financial sectors, such as mortgage, leasing, factoring and consumer financing. The Framework is expected to support the financing of local MSMEs as they start to replace or repair assets damaged by the floods.
MSMEs play an important role in the Western Balkans region but face constraints in accessing long-term finance. For instance, in Bosnia and Herzegovina only 22 per cent of private sector credit is available to local enterprises. This is a burden on the expansion of existing operations and the development of new market opportunities, which the EBRD financing aims to overcome.
“The Western Balkans Finance Framework is a facility that builds on the EBRD’s success so far in supporting MSMEs and strengthening the financial sector in the Western Balkans and Croatia. This is a very effective platform to support the underserved segments of the market, including mortgage loans and MSME lending. It is very important to strengthen the private and financial sectors across the region – especially now, when countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia are recovering from the damage inflicted by the recent floods,” said Henry Russell, EBRD Director, Financial Institutions.
The first two sub-projects under WBFF IV, totaling €50 million, will be extended to UniCredit Bank Serbia. The first will be a new loan of up to €40 million for on-lending to private SMEs. In parallel, a new mortgage loan of up to €10 million will be extended to increase financing for the private residential sector. UniCredit Bank Serbia is the third-largest commercial bank in the country.
The Western Balkans and Croatia Financing Framework IV is an extension of the Western Balkans and Croatia Financing Framework, a €250 million facility aimed at supporting banks and non-bank financial institutions in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Croatia. The WBFF IV also includes Kosovo, which became a member and a country of operations of EBRD in 2012. Both frameworks are consistent with the EBRD’s strategy for each of the Western Balkans countries and Croatia. They are also in keeping with the Bank’s Financial Sector Strategy. | 2019-04-25T01:54:25 | https://www.ebrd.com/news/2014/ebrd-assists-with-flood-recovery-in-bosnia-and-herzegovina,-croatia-and-serbia.html |

Bringing an insufficient amount of air for a dive is like drowning on the first day of work. It should be a no-brainer to prepare for your first day as an intern, but this part of the process is like murky water: a little hazy and a lot of untapped potential.
If I spent this whole post explaining why an internship is valuable, I would be wasting your time. You already know internships are valuable — you hear it all the time. Instead, I want to discuss a part of the intern process that doesn’t get elaborated on enough. And that part is what it takes to be a successful intern before you show up at 9 a.m. for that work grind.
The first step in any preparation process is research. Obviously you aren’t going to book a scuba dive and fly to Cozumel all in one day without researching any other dive sites. First, you’re going to do some research to figure out the most epic sites imaginable (we’re all looking for ways to get a new Instagram high score, am I right?).
These same principles apply to an internship. This may seem redundant because you should’ve already researched during the interview process. But this is about taking that research one step further. Read the company’s blog, learn the culture of the work environment, and, most importantly, learn the company's voice. The company’s blog is one of the most insightful tools on the Internet. It’s your portal to everything they value and find interesting.
Once you have a solid foundation for their values as a company, research what marketing tools and platforms they use on a regular basis. Google Adwords and Google Analytics are always a good place to start, but there are so many more tools companies rely on in the digital sphere. As an intern, you’ll have to wear multiple hats — so don’t be afraid to learn tools outside of your department, like Screaming Frog for SEO or Cision for public relations. Anything that can set you up to gain as much real experience as possible is worth it!
Wondering how to find out what tools your company uses? Ask! Email the HR lead — they’ll be able to provide you with insights. From there, hopefully you can search YouTube videos or get free certifications. The quicker you can get your training finished, the sooner you’ll learn what working in your career field truly feels like.
As an intern you might not expect a lot of emails. At least that was my thinking before my first day. Imagine my panic when I showed up on my first day and saw a full inbox. A cold panic of “I’m already behind!” set in immediately.
Needless to say, asking for access to a work email before your first day can also be extremely beneficial. Get ahead of the game and organize your inbox, read emails to get a better sense of what is going on in the office, and — if you feel comfortable — go ahead and write a first day bio about yourself to send to the office.
My last piece of advice before you jump into the endless ocean of possibilities is to take a couple practice laps in the kiddie pool — AKA take a test dive. This is something I’m glad I did before my internship, and I am passing this advice onto you.
My office is in the middle of Atlanta, where traffic is unavoidable on any day. I wasn’t sure how bad the traffic would be on my first day of work, so instead of worrying about it the morning of, I decided to be proactive and take a test drive the Sunday before. Acting like a pro on the Atlanta highways really eased my nerves on the first day and actually made me more excited. I was able to be myself walking through the door instead worrying about hiding my armpit stains after searching for the parking lot.
Preparing for an internship is just as important on the employer’s side. Coming into my first day on the job, I suddenly realized how much different my school environment is to the real world. As a student, I was used to a syllabus, a fixed schedule, and a rubric telling me how to be a “100%”. These assets don’t exist in the real world.
For employers, the best way to help interns through this transition is with an onboarding document for the first day at the very least. This can help interns feel comfortable and prepared to work on their first day, and can also save you time during their onboarding process.
Along with an onboarding document, scheduling a way for the intern to meet their coworkers is a great way to make them feel like a part of the team quickly. On my first day I wasn’t expecting any special treatment. I was just hoping for anyone to let me learn their Jedi advertising ways. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to be with my boss and HR lead for the majority of the day. My team and I went out for lunch, and I was personally introduced to the entire office (remembering all those names was easier said than done). Even throughout my first few weeks, we had team building activities outside of work.
As an intern, I really appreciated the effort Nebo took to make me feel like part of the team, and it definitely paid off. It didn’t take me long to know everyone’s name at the office, and I even felt comfortable enough to plan a ping pong office tournament with our Culture Team.
Going the extra mile to make an intern feel like part of the team goes a long way in furthering work culture.
Lastly, make sure you give your interns an intern project. My project has lasted the length of my internship, and will act as a training manual for future interns. I have included everything I have learned at Nebo with videos, screenshots, and step-by-step guides. Having this project to withstand the length of my internship has been a great way to receive feedback from my boss, assess everything I’ve learned in the past couple months, and leave something with Nebo that I am proud of and that they can use to guide other interns through their internships.
Whether you’re about to be an intern, looking to hire interns, or preparing for a scuba dive and happened to stumble upon this blog post: preparation is key to getting the most out of any experience. Interns — don’t look at an internship as delivering coffee and receiving a resume filler. Let it be something that benefits the company and something you can leverage for a career. It’s an important time being an intern, so get the most out of every day you have to work and learn. | 2019-04-24T02:24:34 | https://www.neboagency.com/blog/an-interns-perspective-on-the-importance-of-preparation/ |
Из явных недостатков то, что они продают 20% от всех токенов за 45млн.
Также можно зайти только в формате пресейла, от 50 эфиров минимум, обычное ICO отменили.
Я думаю купить на 100 эфира. отправил им письмо - жду ответа.
40% (development and ecosystem) : some of it will be reserved for long term (>2 years) projects (and will be completely frozen until that point). The rest will be used to facilitate the creation, prosperity and expansion of the ecosystem, through subsidizing of predictions. Namely - entrepreneurs, academic researchers and early users will be given tokens that can be used for predictions only. This will not devalue the token, but on the contrary - will enable the fast creation of businesses around EDR (=more demand) and support information (more accurate predictions ==> more demand).
20% (partnerships) : will be discussed on a case by case basis, The goals of this is to enable strategic partnerships through the access to large-scale predictions at a low cost ==> as an investment for the creation of sustainable business at a later stage. Therefore - liquidating the tokens is not the idea here, and we would discuss appropriate mechanisms with our partners.
For example, EDRs can be allocated as proxy for other services in the crypto sphere (e.g. a Bancor Relay). In this cases, the EDRs are frozen, and act as an enabler of the overlaying services, with zero liquidation.
Собирают 45 миллионов- это дофига, твиттер - 2к подписчиков, мин. участие 50 ETH. Не, нахрен.
Я деньги не будут собирать вообще, если зайду - я оставлю эфир кошелек, куда просто переведете, а потом раскину назад на эти кошельки токены, когда придут и все.
Я принял решение не участвовать.
Ну бонус там от 500-1000eth когда, пулы то купят крупные, просто не вижу смысла именно в текущей ситуации. | 2019-04-26T04:50:50 | https://ttrcoin.com/threads/ico-endor-otzyvy.1505/ |

Towards the end of the ’90s and starting of the naughties, I spent 4 years living in Kentish City, a 5 minute stroll from Camden Market. And whether or not you are planning a tropical trip, a family reunion, or each, you’re going to need some assist determining the best way to get one of the best deal. Adina Residences are plentiful within the metropolis, with reasonably priced rates and special gives for winter travel Try the four-Day Sydney Discovery cope with Qantas for a harbor-view trip by boat.
There can actually be good offers around this period, however they won’t usually be as loopy as the few final minute” packages that are chosen for a major worth discount with under 1-2 weeks before departure. For additional assurance, add the AV-OK Total Trip Security , Apple Holidays’ three-part safety plan that options our Best Price Guarantee and a trip cancellation/change waiver.
Update: StarCruises SuperStar Libra is now cruising the Halong Bay, Danang and Hue in Vietnam. Special Journey Agent Rates for Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney should be booked over the telephone. I advised him to be sure to tell the folks on the Hyatt upon test-in that they’d be sailing with Disney the following day. He supplies cruise passengers with lectures on the traits of the vacation spot. E-journey staff can advise on one of the best offers available from all the top cruise lines together with Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, Princess, P& Cruises, Azamara Membership Cruises, MSC Cruises, Silversea Cruiseline, Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival, Holland America and Hurtigruten.
In the event you booked a dummy” cruise, you can begin the process of finding your actual cruise. Anyway, their questions about their upcoming journey, acquired me fascinated by Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line’s non-public island in The Bahamas. Disney Visa cardholders who use their card as their cost technique onboard automatically get a number of discounts on purchases on the ship and on Castaway Cay.
Once you switch your reservation to a real cruise date you will still retain the onboard credit and other advantages, but you may have to pay any improve in deposit. Try for nice offers on cruises.. They offer nice advice, categorize their cruises in a approach both frequent and novice cruisers perceive, and provide terrific offers on cruises.. Examine them out!
Truthfully, the opposite cruise lines have been a lot easier to guide groups with within the first place. The Norwegian cruise had two pools, both in the same space, one was an adult pool and the other was for households, with a water slide in the same area. If you already have a future cruise booked, you’ll be able to often re-shop” your current booking and get the low cost.
Situated in Basel, ASL Airlines Switzerland (ASLS), previously Farnair Group, was established 30 years ago and now operates a fleet of 20 cargo and passenger plane. By 1995, several private airways had ventured into the aviation business and accounted for greater than 10 % of the home air traffic. Concentrate on the airline’s carry-on restrictions: Most airlines allow one carry-on bag plus one personal merchandise. Outbound transport is zero-rated following the vacation spot precept, while inbound is VAT-exempt because the transport service is rendered exterior the Philippines.
American Airways announced that two officers have shared their plans to retire later in 2017: Loral Blinde, Vice President – Individuals & Workforce Member Companies, will retire from American 2017 summer season after finishing numerous integration projects; Brian McMenamy, Vice President – Finance, will retire on the end of the 2017 following a 33-yr profession at American.
Our required multi-engine flight hours are carried out in the Piper Seneca which is suitable to the DGCA in India. National – Usually these airways seat 100-a hundred and fifty people and have revenues between $a hundred million and $1 billion. I’ve spent years within the Human Sources area, together with working for two Fortune 500 firms. Most companies in Saudi Arabia employ a large number of expats who do the work, however the authorities is attempting to cut back the variety of expats by making many jobs Saudi solely resulting from high Saudi unemployment, forcing the businesses to employ Saudis.
I’m attempting to get a great deal on Carnival Cruise that departs on October 28th. These deals and discounts can simply be discovered online or by immediately contacting a cruise ship consultant. A cruise on the Norwegian Epic is a special treat, and for these cruisers who do not mind larger ships, it is a distinctive experience. NCU’s MEd program affords college students 18 specializations in focus areas like curriculum and instructing, global training and growth, sports activities administration, and lots of more.
Thank you so much for supporting Florida lecturers by reductions and special opportunities.

There’s so much greater than what you see here: Visit your financial savings website and verify the map for discounts on virtually something near where you reside, work, and play.
If you are all for figuring out whether or not or not a celeb cruise is definitely worth the cash, there are a selection of things that it is best to first take into account. Discover all of the educational alternatives that NSU has to offer undergraduate college students. JASON LEVY: To me, there ought to never be a query as as to if or not college students should have entry to know-how.
The cruise line reserves the appropriate to disembark anyone who buys alcohol for minors or anybody caught underage drinking. There is in all probability a lot more reductions I missed, but obviously Disney has a lot should you had not noticed. And, if all this is not sufficient, Channel 14 in your suite/stateroom TELEVISION has the Rhapsody of the Seas ‘Morning Present’, that includes the Cruise and Entertainment Administrators talking about the day’s events.
The main experience I’ve had in most of these environments is the feeling of being one amongst the crowd.” One unfavorable of this is that it is usually very tough to satisfy with the guru or spiritual teachers with so many other students. Be sure to capitalize in your student status as a lot as attainable and benefit from all these unique travel reductions.
You understand you might have come to the fallacious ashram once they hand you an agenda that appears like a cruise package. Additional to the Captain’s replace, the Cruise Director will come throughout the ship’s speaker system (not within the cabin, though) updating you on what’s arising that morning/afternoon/evening. Most cruise strains, together with Carnival, Holland America, Norwegian, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean, permit passengers 18 and older to gamble onboard.
I’ll show you how to get paid to cruise, and the best way to get DEEP REDUCTIONS if you happen to don’t need to work.

Achieving gender equality and female empowerment is the fifth of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. Yet, according to a recent World Economic Forum report, basic global gender gaps could take 83 years to close. One key driver of change could be gender-lens wealth - mobilizing private wealth towards gender equality worldwide.
According to WEF, women experience only 59% of the economic opportunities and participation rates that their male counterparts enjoy globally. Women’s legal protections are also still underdeveloped, with women in some countries having little access to land, financial services or inheritance. Despite this, SDG 5-related causes have received very little funding so far. For instance, related causes received only 2.6% of donations towards all SDG-related causes between 2000-2013, according to AidData. Within private wealth, one driver may be that only 2% of wealth managers treat and service women as a distinct group with specific interests, according to analysis by UBS Unique and BCG.
CIO's new white paper shows that SDG 5 could benefit greatly from systematic, coordinated private support, especially in the fields of policy, business, education, and networking as well as gender-lens investing and philanthropy.
We have been working closely with our female clients for two years to understand how we can better serve their needs. Together, we are aiming to change the way we do business. This program is called UBS Unique, in recognition of each of our clients' unique aspirations.
When tackling SDG 5, this report recommends that wealthy individuals focus particularly on three key areas which have almost universal relevance for women’s professional and personal lives: improving maternity provisions, relieving the burden of unpaid domestic work, and increasing participation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. Women globally still spend an average of 4.5 hours a day on unpaid care work versus 2.2 hours for men, while STEM qualifications, which are associated with higher-paying employment, are received by 30% of male graduates versus 16% of female peers.
All five main aspects of gender-lens wealth - policy, business, investing, giving, and education - can play a role in these three core areas. Private individuals can conduct policy and education campaigns on provisions for maternity leave, affordable childcare, and female STEM studies, as well as provide philanthropic subsidies. They can also try to ensure their own organizations or businesses meet acceptable standards in these areas.
With respect to their investments, individuals can tilt their listed equity portfolios towards companies which have a greater proportion of senior female managers. A greater proportion of female executives and directors has generally been found to correlate with higher returns. While women in leadership may not necessarily be the direct cause of outperformance, gender balance may be a reliable proxy indicator for better-performing companies.
Within the field of impact investing, which aims to generate an additive measurable social impact as well as a compelling return, opportunities in affordable childcare and STEM education exist, although they will probably be insufficient to warrant a broad range of successful dedicated funds. In many cases, investors, primarily ultra high net worth individuals with the ability to do their own solo or club deals, will likely have to pursue such avenues independently.
Policy and education (i.e. awareness) campaigns and associated donations are essential to increasing the number of women in leadership roles. Women's participation in politics and decision making is still low in most countries around the world. According to the UN Women report 2015, women are usually excluded from high rank positions in the government. Globally, the share of women among government ministers is close to 18% and they are usually assigned to social issues. The implementation of quotas in countries like Germany has helped to improve women's political empowerment but the participation remains low at levels close to 30%.
In the private sector, individuals can promote female leadership through mentoring and by increasing the number of female leaders in their own businesses and organizations.
Leadership inequality is not only reflected in the political arena but also on a more day-to-day economic level. In many countries, women still face discrimination when trying to access financial services and ownership rights. On the policy and education/awareness sides, promoting legal aid, in particular in low income countries, with respect to land rights and social protection benefits will help to reduce the disparities.
On the giving, business, and investing sides, subsidizing or offering loans and financial services promotes economic independence and empowerment. The Grameen Bank in Bangladesh offers long-term loans to buy housing and land if these are registered in women's names, providing security and ownership inside the household. However, on the investing side these are typically direct, case-by-case opportunities that are unlikely to form a sufficiently reliable stream for a broad range of successful dedicated funds or similar instruments.
Connecting to new people and ideas can spark inspiration. Our network of global visionaries connects you to some of the brightest academic and entrepreneurial minds whose ideas and actions are changing the world we live in. These individuals embody excellence, push the boundaries of innovation and boldly address tomorrow's challenges today.
As per UBS’s white paper for WEF 2017, networks and communities remain crucial in coordinating and leveraging responses to all the UN SDGs, bringing together private wealth and other inputs. Within investing and philanthropy, current examples include a proposed WEF Young Global Leader initiative called Align17, an SDG-focused platform that has received expressions of interest from the Gates Foundation, PwC, the SDG Philanthropy Platform, and other potential stakeholders.
Given this area’s importance, private individuals should seize on opportunities to establish SDG 5-related networks that can connect gender-lens wealth with policy, education, and business as well as philanthropy and investing opportunities. Networked organizations such as the Womensphere Foundation and iamtheCODE aim to connect women and girls with professional developmental opportunities. Such organizations are also increasingly linking up with one another via initiatives such as UBS’s Global Visionaries community.
In addition to connecting gender-lens wealth and other resources with relevant opportunities, networks also help collect, pool, and publish SDG 5-related data. As per the missing data points in the regional section of this report, relevant information is not always available and may also be underreported, especially in the case of highly sensitive areas like gender-based discrimination and abuse. Networks can help standardize corporate, investment, and even government disclosures relating to SDG 5, which helps gender-lens wealth identify gaps and mobilize more resources towards relevant SDG targets.
In conclusion, there are many avenues for gender-lens wealth to work towards gender equality and female empowerment. However, if private individuals act alone rather than connecting and leveraging others’ work, gender-lens wealth will not have the scale that is necessary to meet the goal’s 2030 deadline. By espousing SDG 17 - partnership for the goals - via networking and collaboration, gender-lens wealth can take a much greater step towards meeting SDG 5 and explore options for furthering its agenda until 2030 and beyond. | 2019-04-26T01:51:24 | https://www.ubs.com/hk/en/wealth-management/thinking-ahead-in-asia/2017/gender-lens-wealth.html |
We have an early release preview!
This year a timber lattice takes a ‘casting’ of the St John’s Gate. After Clerkwenwell Design week, the frame will be remounted in the nearby St James Churchyard to relocate a trace of St John’s Gate into a new, more publicly accessible context.
The London 2019 NGD workshops are over! It was beautiful, and we had some fantastic designs come through which we’ll share in due course.
In the meantime we should dwell on the fact that this year we’ll be in a new location – not in St James’ Church Gardens, but under St John’s Gate! Here are some students assessing the gate in all its majesty.
It is here: the snappily titled First Weekend Of The Spring Half-term. This will be the 4th (FOURTH!) year that these noble days will host Next Generation Design, the exciting start of the process before a pavilion is built as part of Clerkenwell Design Week in May.
From now on this moveable feast shall be known as Next Generation Design Weekend.
Even more excitingly than usual, rumour has it that the CDW brief has changed! Where will it be? What will it be?
It’s gone! After 4 weeks of being lunched upon, and confused for a construction accident, the pipes have gone on back to where they came from. The circle of life.
We were delighted to be joined by students, volunteers and organisers last Sunday for the official ribbon cutting launch opening bonanza of A Tree Come True.
Peter Murray gave a lovely speech; the team who’s concept design was selected gave a lovely insight into their design process; and Phil and Laura aimlessly waffled about how happy they were that everyone was involved. It was all rather charming.
However maybe best to read about it on the Broadgate website, with some nice pictures too.
Many thanks again to the City Centre and Broadgate for making everyone’s tree come true this Christmas October.
After a delightful rainy weekend, a Tree Come True has finally been installed as part of Generation Pop-up!
Many thanks to all the students who took part in the build, expertly organised by The City Centre, our invaluable helpers from the fabulous Transitions.
The estates team at Broadgate have been unbelievably helpful, and we’re happy to have been able to reuse a spot of local site waste from SRM, too.
A Tree Come True will be up for your enjoying pleasure until the end of October, so enjoy it while you can!
And so, the circle of life continues, and Past/Present/Future is now very much in the Past/Present/Future/Past for 2018. After a glorious summer in Clerkenwell, the Next Generation Design London team have disassembled the pavilion and stored it. However it may soon become Past/Present/Future/Past/Present, with it being readied for a new home (rumoured to be somewhere near here). Massive congratulations to the students and team for such a great project.
Here it is in its winter hibernation storage unit. Until next year!
We’re delighted to be showcasing Next Generation Design as part of an upcoming LSE Cities exhibition, at 8 Fitroy St.
This technically means that its an ‘inspirational solution, developed and implemented by individuals, local communities or organisations at grassroots level, that addresses challenges posed by rapid urban growth in London’. Phew.
Al Dente Engineering happened, with 50+ budding mini material scientists helping test our pasta sections in bending and compression before adding to our pasta cityscape!
…and here are some very preliminary tantalising results, with no explanation! What do they mean? Watch this space for a proper evaluation soon. | 2019-04-22T14:32:54 | https://scalerule.org/author/danielbergsagel/ |

The festival will move to City Market on Wednesday with a performance by the Doug Carn B3 Trio at 7 p.m. at D&B Burgers, which is followed by their movie night at 8:30, screening Killer B3: A Documentary About The Hammond Organ, which was directed and written by Murv Seymour.
The most popular events in the festival take place in Forsyth Park on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, starting just before sunset and carrying into the night. These free concerts feature an assortment of musicians of all ages, playing all kinds of different instruments, sharing their music with the city. Restaurants and vendors even come out to the park and set up tents, so attendees can get something to eat while enjoying the music.
“Performances at Habersham Village and Forsyth Park are both outstanding with the emphasis at Habersham Village being on local and regional artists and Forsyth Park focusing on national and international artists,” said Adams.
After the concerts in the park, Late Night Jam Sessions will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday night from 11 p.m. until 2 a.m. at Rancho Alegre Cuban Restaurant.
6 p.m. – Hall of Fame Induction and Concert, featuring Teddy Adams,Huxsie Scott, Eddie Pazant, Howard Paul, Ben Riley and new inductees Delbert Felix, Eric Vaughn and Dr. Randy Reese.
The Jazz Festival started at Grayson Stadium in 1983, a year after the formation of the Coastal Jazz Association. The CJA grew out of the Telfair Jazz Society, which formed when bassist Ben Tucker and trombonist Teddy Adams gathered with other great musicians to preform at the Telfair museums on Sunday afternoons.
“Ben and I assembled the very best musicians in Savannah when we formed the Telfair Jazz Society,” said Adams.
Ben Tucker played bass, while Teddy Adams was on trombone, Kenny Palmer on piano, Buby McMillian, on saxophone, Stubby Mitchell on trumpet, Samarai Celestial on drums and Huxsie Scott on vocals. Together these individuals formed the Telfair Jazz Society.
Tucker and Adams went on to teach an eight-week class at Savannah State University and when it ended, the students couldn’t let go of it so easily – Tom and Connie Glasser met up with Isadore and Edith Karpf for lunch and decided to create a jazz association. Many joined the group, including Spague Exley, Boo Hornstein, Lee Luckett, as well as Tucker and Adams.
Now the Coastal Jazz Association has hundreds of members; everyone from business people to musicians and educators joined in, all to help jazz thrive and build the community with free events that everyone can attend.

Discussion in 'Deck Help and Strategy' started by helghast101, Feb 13, 2008.
I think this is going to be my casual deck.
Strat: This is a deck idea to beat your opponent with style. The whole idea of this deck is to take out all of your opponent's pokemon with Jolteon *'s power and scooping him up as many times as possible. Digger and Elekid are for back up.
This is a deck idea to beat your opponent with style. The whole idea of this deck is to take out all of your opponent's pokemon with Jolteon *'s power and scooping him up as many times as possible. Digger and Elekid are for back up.
Strat: Get out Joltean* and keep bouncing it reusing its pokepower.... It seems like it'd work pretty good.
I just don't get how you plan to use a Poke-Power that does 10 damage to be your main attack system. Why don't you just play some Venture Bomb (I think that is the name of the card) if you want a similar 10 damage effect.
And some energy might help. Unless you don't want to ever attack that is. And since you play no energy, I suggest playing Pokemon Center.
The deck uses Jolteon*'s pokepower over and over, by bringing it to the hand, and then playing it again, and again, and again. KO'ing all of the opponents pokemon in one swoop.
I am working on these for casual: which should i make?
what should i drop for more Briney's?
which of these 2 should i make?
Well, you might want some Energies in here.
But your average damage output per turn would be about zero to a pathetic ten. I don't think you would ever be able to KO anything. It just doesn't make sensse. And what about the 20% of games where Jolteon* is in the prizes? You have no way of to do any damage at all, so you'll never get a prize unless your opponent is an idiot an makes one of their own Pokemon faint! And are you forgetting that Jolteon* hurts you too?
Thats why Chansey is there. Chansey Active, taking the damage. So when its about to die, Scoop it up too.
And how do you stop it?
maybe lower.. beacuse of ssu..
do u think this deck will work??
see my above post. It does work, and it usually will win before they have a chance to bring out to big of a pokemon, and with all the card draw, it gets those 14 times usually.
Add Azelf (Legends Awakened) in case anything is prized. You could also use some Zapdos (Majestic Dawn).
Now you should have less issues with prizing.
If you're going to be using Chansey as your wall you may as well as Double Colorless energy so you can at least Scrunch while you drop the Jolteon*. Double-edge in a pinch can be great too. | 2019-04-24T17:51:25 | http://pokegym.net/community/index.php?threads/jolteon-unlimited-format.67319/ |
The history of the New York Audio Show can best be described as rocky. Decades ago, the show was run by Stereophile magazine, and it was a juggernaut. I remember making an annual pilgrimage from Washington, D.C. to the New York Hilton to experience that show’s endless rooms, each packed with lust-worthy gear and ravenous audiophiles. But after Stereophile pulled out for lack of funding, New York languished for years without a major regional show—an unholy state of affairs for one of the country’s largest high-end audio markets.
In 2012, England’s Chester Group took on the mission of bringing back the NYAS. Since then, Chester has striven to nail the formula—with varying degrees of success. The hotels selected for the first two years, the Waldorf-Astoria and the New York Palace, respectively, were appropriately luxe and drew respectable crowds. But those properties were pricey, prompting exhibitor complaints. For the next two years, Chester Group experimented with significantly less expensive—but also significantly less convenient—sites. Those shows suffered low attendance by both exhibitors and audiophiles. Neither relished a trek to Brooklyn or Westchester County.
Clearly a return to Manhattan was in order, and in 2016 Chester Group did just that. For the past three years the NYAS has held court at the New York Park Lane. This hotel may not quite be in the Waldorf’s league, but it’s reasonably upscale and boasts a splendid midtown location next to Central Park. Most importantly, the Park Lane’s costs are, by New York standards, relatively moderate.
Although the Park Lane-based incarnation of NYAS has been a solid hit with exhibitors and attendees, both groups have remained stubbornly small. This year, for instance, there were just two dozen rooms, plus the usual ballroom bazaar for audiophile source material and accessories. That’s a far cry from the hundreds of exhibitors in the Stereophile days—or from currently thriving shows like Chicago’s AXPONA. Nonetheless, in a classic case of quality over quantity, this year’s NYAS proved highly rewarding.
Exhibitors were delighted with the crowds, which were some of the most keenly focused and enthusiastic audiophiles I’ve ever seen at a show. As GoldenEar Technology’s Sandy Gross put it, “Everyone who’s come through here has been a true enthusiast.” And though there weren’t as many rooms as one might’ve hoped, the rooms that were there saw steady, heady traffic. Further, the sound in those rooms was generally good, though I noticed a counter-intuitive phenomenon whereby the smaller rooms had better sound.
Attendees were equally smitten. While an audiophile visiting NYAS couldn’t hear the latest big Magicos or Constellations, they could hear the stellar Technics Reference System, a $750k five-way Chinese horn speaker, and Chad Kassem of Analogue Productions telling anecdotes and comparing his own reissues with the originals. Attendees were also treated to East Coast or U.S. premiers of numerous new products. For all these reasons, NYAS participants—be they exhibitors, attendees, or writers like yours truly—went away highly satisfied. Now, having hit on a formula that works, Chester Group just needs to expand on it.
As a reviewer visiting NYAS for the first time in several years, what most surprised me was the number of companies who chose this occasion to introduce new gear. Luxman, for instance, took the opportunity to give the new PD-151 turntable its first North American showing. The ’table ($3895 with ’arm) employs a custom synchronous DC motor, and all components are mounted to the underside of the plinth in an “under-slung” arrangement. Vintage vinyl collectors take note: the PD-151 is the rare modern ’table that supports 78 rpm. When mated with the equally-new L-509X 120Wpc integrated amp (with built-in phonostage) and Triangle Magellan Cello ($13k) speakers, the PD-151 produced a seductively lush, musical sound.
Another new product, at least to me, was the Dupuy Acoustique Phase Restoration Acoustic Panel (PRAP). The wood panel, which the company says took six years to develop, is precisely curved in both the horizontal and vertical planes and rests on a solid granite bass. A passive device, the PRAP is placed between speakers and is said to address the “back-wall problem” by correcting inter-speaker time and phase issues. The model on display was enormous, making it impossible to do a before-and-after comparison. However, I can say that the sound was spacious, with natural (rather than hyper-defined) imaging, solid bass, and perfect tonal balance. The PRAP costs $30k for the big panel I heard, $15k for a smaller version.
In the bustling Technics room, the company was showing off its new Ottava S, a $799 all-in-one compact component. The technology within is cutting-edge, having trickled down from the aforementioned Reference Series. The new Ottava supports audio from a NAS, Apple Airplay, Bluetooth, Internet radio, Spotify, Tidal, plus any analog source. An optical digital input means that TVs, too, can feed the S. All of which is nice but means a whole lot more when you consider that the Ottava’s sound is truly unbelievable. Bass and space are stunning for a product this size, and the S has the same musical, self-effacing quality as the mighty Reference Series. Buy one for self-contained stereo, or a pair if and when you have more space.
Among the most exciting bows at NYAS wasn’t a hardware product at all. Qobuz is a new hi-res streaming service that will launch in America “very soon.” The company’s focus is on 192/24 and other “studio master” quality files. In other countries, Qobuz (pronounced KO-buzz) already offers over two million such hi-res titles, plus forty million CD-resolution titles. Imagine having that level of choice and resolution, which is even higher than Tidal offers, at your beck and call. In demos throughout NYAS, Qobuz was always supremely impressive. I can’t wait for this service!
Looming in the Park Lane’s largest showroom was the mammoth Dragon full-range horn speaker system from China’s ESD Acoustics. The speakers, sold as a complete bundle with purpose-built electronics, will cost about $750k when they hit the U.S. For this you get five horns per side—the largest of which tower over mere mortals—each with carbon fiber cones for stiffness. A five-way active crossover fronts the drivers, necessitating a phalanx of amplifiers. Each is solid-state, single-ended, Class A, and puts out just 20 watts. Yet that’s more than enough to drive the Dragons, since each horn requires but a single watt to drive it to full volume. A feedback loop between the electronics and the speakers is said to deliver more linear motion.
Be that as it may, the Dragon system emitted some of the show’s worst sound. While there was plenty of bass, airiness was in short supply. And though, as expected, the horns delivered extreme dynamics, the drivers weren’t well-controlled. At higher volumes, their harshness became unlistenable. Hopefully ESD will do some more fine tuning before they start taking orders.
Several NY-metro-area dealers—including Scarsdale-based Value Electronics, Sound by Singer, Rhapsody Music, and Distinctive Stereo—had very fine-sounding rooms. The latter showed off a new Merrill Audio monoblock amp, the Element 116 ($22k/pr.), which boasts megahertz bandwidth and zero feedback. The 300-watt (into 8 ohms) amp was having no trouble driving a set of Muraudio hybrid stat/dynamic speakers. Sourced with a Wolf Audio music server/ripper and an EMM Labs DAC driving a Merrill Audio Christine linestage, the sound was punchy and lively, though the bass had some serious discontinuities—probably the room doing it no favors. Nonetheless, I got shivers when I listened to Radiohead’s “Faust/Arp” through this system.
The AVM room featured the company’s stylish new turntable, the R5.3, which runs $7500 including a 10" ’arm and integrated dust cover. The ’table is unusual in that it utilizes an “Ellipso Centric” belt drive, whereby a single motor drives two passive pulleys placed on opposing sides of the platter. The arrangement is said to even out irregularities. Even cooler, the acrylic platter lights up a mesmerizing blue; it’s something you have to see to appreciate.
You may remember the Perfect8 loudspeakers from CES reports of yore. They were notable for their thick glass enclosures, mechanically-connected dipole driver arrangement, and frequent contention for best-of-show sonics. This year at NYAS, the company unveiled the first production units of its smallest and by far least expensive model yet, the Cube S ($20k/pr.). The diminutive speakers sounded wonderful—as far as they went. For all that they did well, which was a lot, the Cube S cried out for a subwoofer. Fortunately, the new model can be paired with the company’s $15k Sub. Now that’s a combination I’d love to hear.
Finally, there was the Vitalis room, which was like no other. Looking more like a musical instrument store than an audio display, the space was populated with all size and manner of stringed instruments. To the delight of all who entered, those instruments turned out to be speakers, with craftily integrated drivers. Founder Tal Levy, a former recording engineer, decided to turn speaker cabinet orthodoxy on its head. Rather than going to extensive lengths to eliminate resonances, he decided to harness them—just like real instruments do. Surprisingly, since his concept flouts every speaker design convention, the results were a knockout. The doublebasses housing Fostex full-range drivers and ribbon tweeters (the instrument’s “strings” are actually speaker wires connecting the drivers) sounded open, natural, and musical—even driven by very modest electronics. Bass was tight and punchy. The doublebasses run $37k, but there many smaller, more affordable models, plus a subwoofer housed in—what else?—a bass drum.
There was no lack of good-sounding rooms in New York. Take the Dynaudio room. The Contour speakers ($10k), driven by Octave tube electronics, were open and wonderfully dynamic, with great imaging and depth, plus subterranean bass. The source: Qobuz streaming through a Marantz DAC. Nearby, Technics took time out from showcasing the Ottava S to regale visitors with its Reference Series, including the recently-released SL-1000R ’table fitted with an Ortofon Windfeld cartridge. This system allowed me to simply relax and breathe in the music.
I was also impressed—as were many other show-goers, judging from the buzz—with the Harbeth 40.2 LE speakers sharing space with Vinnie Rossi electronics. The system, set up for nearfield listening, had no discernible character or coloration aside from a tiny bit of edge in the treble. Sitting in the sweet spot, depth and imaging were spookily good. Once again, the source was Qobuz, this time from an iPad and a $99 DAC. Simply amazing.
Convergent Audio Technology was showcasing a series of increasingly expensive amps, topping out at the $150k/pr. Statement monoblocks. The amps drove Magico S5 Mk 2 speakers, a model that has clearly come into its own with this latest version. The system did everything right, with no evidence of the usual constraints on dynamics or bass grip, both of which were exemplary here.
Meanwhile, the winner of the transparency award has to go to the Robyatt room, which was playing a fetching pair of Quad ESL-57s rebuilt by Electrostatic Solutions. The debate over which original Quads were better, the 57 or the 63, rages on, but this system made a strong case for the former. The setup included Robyatt, Butler Audio, and Audible Illusions electronics, and not one but two turntables: the new Technics 10R for stereo discs, and a vintage, original-spec Technics SL-10 for mono slabs. Both were fitted with Miyajima cartridges. With the Quads, you know you’re hearing just what the source is feeding them, and the sense of musicians being right there in front of me was unmatched elsewhere at the show. Best of all, you can buy them for just $6000 a pair.
Sonner Audio was also getting great sound from its Legato Semi ($6500/pr.) two-way floorstander driven by the new Luxman 550AX II Class A solid-state amp ($5500) and an Abbingdon DP777E DAC. The emcee played Reference Recordings’ Big Band Basie, a live album, and I could clearly hear everything going on, including the hall itself. The entire system cost under $15k.
At an even more affordable price point was the least expensive of Scarsdale dealer Value Electronics’ four rooms. There, a Marantz K1 Ruby 40th Anniversary integrated amp and CD/SACD player ($3999 each) drove the Definitive Technology Demand 11 speakers, which run just $1000 a pair. In this price range—$10k for the whole system—there are bound to be compromises, but in this case there were precious few. My trusty Pentatone Stravinsky SACD sounded astonishingly alive, and even the bass was hitting above its weight class.
As you can see, NYAS offered lots of good sound at a wide range of prices—plus embarrassingly bad sound at an astronomical price point. That’s a sure-fire recipe for fun.
Best Sound (Cost No Object): Of all the good-sounding systems at the show, the Technics Reference Series imposed the fewest “filters” between the source and my ears.
Best Sound (For the Money): The Value Electronics room, with Marantz K1 Ruby 40th Anniversary stack and Definitive Technology Demand 11 speakers, had no peer anywhere near its $10k price.
Most Significant New Product: The Qobuz streaming service will usher in a new era of studio master-quality streaming.
Most Significant Trend: The NYAS itself. The show has found its footing and its potential is unlimited.
Best Demo: Analog Productions’ Chad Kassem comparing original LPs with his reissued versions over the high-resolution system in the Robyatt room.
Most Coveted Product: The Perfect8 Cube S, but only if I can get them with the Sub. | 2019-04-21T14:53:33 | http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/2018-new-york-audio-show-report/ |
1_ Change the controls from left and right arrows to up and down. The players doesn't see the zombies going right and left right away, they see if they are up or down and then think which is the equivalent: this is a very fast rhythm game, the player doesn't have the time to figure out which button should be pressed. Also on that note, add control configuration in the menu if possible. Yes, it is extra work, but it's better then get negative reviews because some people found the original controls akward (I know that's my only gripe with Super Meat Boy).
2_ The input of the player actually disrupts the music instead of building it, like most rhythm games: the actual input of the player is a gun blast that doesn't fit the music and the actual drum is already in the song playing. The coolest part about this kinda of game is that when you do it perfectly, you get to hear the music as it was intended. I'd suggest a change of music style to either punk rock or heavy metal, and instead of a drum, the player instrument would be a gun(here's an example).
3_ The indication of when you should press buttons should be where the player is watching the game, instead of a separated hud. In Guitar Hero they had the luxury to do that because the information on the other part of the screen is negligible. If you'll follow the rock-with-guns suggestion of the second item, bullets being grabbed on the road could be cool; or, if you want something simpler, yellow lines in the road, with the markers on the car.
4-I feel like something more interesting could happen in the end of the level. What about this: if there's no zombies, the group gets to a crowd that hails them as gods, groupies get in their car with booze and they peace out to the next level. If there's still zombies, they attack the crowd and the band shrugs and leaves as everybody is running for their lives.
Always glad to have feedback! FYI, this last prototype is a "refreshment" but we fixed some things for the bigger thing.
#2 That has already changed too and the "instrument disruption" method will change according to the difficulty level ( already done in current production version ).
#4 We'll try to figure out how we can exploit that, somehow gets close to what we had in mind for narration but we won't promise things on that for now.
At some point, we will allow players to explores the production versions further but although we have done big steps, the polish is not done yet, so thanks a lot, we'll definetely get back to the community very soon. | 2019-04-26T12:14:21 | https://itch.io/t/19071/heres-a-few-suggestions-for-the-game |

We all know that makeup can be a powerful tool to transform people into unrecognizable imitations of their former selves but one makeup artist and photographer has taken that knowledge to the test - with incredible results.
The 29-year-old chronicled his makeovers on his website, which shows women of all ages and races before and after Vadim changed their faces with the help of a makeup brush and lots of eyeliner.
Andreev told the Daily Mail he does before-and-after makeup photos to prove that anyone can look gorgeous: "I started taking these photos to show people they can change, be more attractive, look and feel happier," and added that he wants women to know that all it takes to look like an A-lister is a bit of time, patience and makeup know-how.
"'[The photos] don't mean women should do heavy make-up all the time. There are little make-up secrets for everyday. Everybody can use them."
These kind of makeup photos have been super popular lately, with everyday women trying out their hands with a makeup brush and getting amazing results.
Just a couple weeks ago, a Reddit user sparked controversy after her before-and-after makeup photo was criticized as not being real, although the person insisted the picture was authentic.

A Kansas state school board candidate who describes evolution as “Satanic lies” and wants to stop public schools from teaching the theory attends Westboro Baptist, the Topeka church known for anti-gay protests worldwide.
Jack Wu told The Topeka Capital-Journal that he decided to run for theState Board of Educationafter learning that Democratic incumbentCarolyn Wims-Campbell, also from Topeka, would otherwise be unopposed for a second term in the 4th District of eastern Kansas. Campbell supports the state’s current science standards, which treat evolution as a well-established, core scientific concept.
On a campaignwebsite, Wu says he is a native of California drawn to the Kansas capital “after seeing the light of the Westboro Baptist Church.” Church members have staged anti-gay pickets for more than two decades, and they frequently protest outside military and other funerals. | 2019-04-25T14:08:48 | https://kceducationenterprise.org/2012/06/25/11873/ |
LONDON: British street artist Banksy has stunned the art world with arguably his most audacious prank yet, self-destructing one of his best-known works moments after it fetched more than a million pounds at auction in London.
"Girl with Balloon" had just sold at Sotheby's Friday for £1,042,000 (US$1.4 million) - a joint record for the maverick artist - when it unexpectedly passed through a shredder hidden in the frame, according to the auction house.
"It appears we just got Banksy-ed," said Alex Branczik, Sotheby's head of contemporary art for Europe, in a press release accompanied by a photo of the bizarre episode.
"The unexpected incident became instant art world folklore and certainly marks the first time in auction history that a work of art automatically shredded itself after coming under the hammer," the auctioneers added in the statement.
Banksy posted his own photo from midway through the shredding on his Instagram page early on Saturday, showing onlookers aghast at the stunt.
The caption written below, imitating an auctioneer, read: "going, going, gone".
The post, and reports of a man dressed in black sunglasses and a hat scuffling with security guards near the entrance to Sotheby's shortly after the incident, led to speculation the artist was present to trigger it.
Sotheby's, which could not be immediately reached for further comment on Saturday, did not disclose if it had prior knowledge of the stunt.
Branczik said he was "not in on the ruse", according to The Art Newspaper.
"We are busy figuring out what this means in an auction context," he reportedly added. "The shredding is now part of the integral art work."
"We have talked with the successful purchaser who was surprised by the story," the auctioneers said in a statement to The Financial Times. "We are in discussion about next steps."
Banksy, a mysterious artist from Bristol, southwest England, has never confirmed his real identity.
He rose to fame painting clandestine street murals, typically simple graffiti stencils with a sharp political point, all over the world.
The artist has also produced a treasure trove of other kinds of images, and his head-turning work have repeatedly sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds, including to a raft of famous people.
His "Happy Choppers" from 2006 fetched US$735,000 also on Friday at a New York auction of personal effects owned by the late actor Robin Williams and his wife.
The price paid in London Friday evening for "Girl with Balloon" matched the artist's previous record at a 2008 auction for another work, Sotheby's said.
Prior to its shredding, the faux-gilt framed piece - spray paint and acrylic on canvas mounted on board - depicted a girl reaching out toward a bright red, heart-shaped balloon.
Mehdi Ben Cheikh, a Parisian street art specialist, said the stunt was "in the same vein as his performance in New York, which questions and criticises the limits of the art market."
Banksy in 2013 set up a stand near the city's Central Park and sold 20 signed canvases of his own work for US$60 each. | 2019-04-22T06:03:13 | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/banksy-artwork-shreds-itself-london-auction-sothebys-10798504 |

The presence of airborne fungi in Intensive Care Unit (ICUs) is associated with increased nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was the isolation and identification of airborne fungi presented in an ICU from the University Hospital of Pelotas – RS, with the attempt to know the place’s environmental microbiota. 40 Petri plates with Sabouraud Dextrose Agar were exposed to an environment of an ICU, where samples were collected in strategic places during morning and afternoon periods for ten days. Seven fungi genera were identified: Penicillium spp. (15.18%), genus with the higher frequency, followed by Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp., Fusarium spp., Paecelomyces spp., Curvularia spp., Alternaria spp., Zygomycetes and sterile mycelium. The most predominant fungi genus were Aspergillus spp. (13.92%) in the morning and Cladosporium spp. (13.92%) in the afternoon. Due to their involvement in different diseases, the identified fungi genera can be classified as potential pathogens of inpatients. These results reinforce the need of monitoring the environmental microorganisms with high frequency and efficiently in health institutions.
A presença de fungos anemófilos nas UTIs está associada com o aumento de infecções nosocomiais. O objetivo deste estudo foi isolar e identificar quais os principais fungos anemófilos presentes em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) de um Hospital Universitário de Pelotas – RS, na tentativa de conhecer a microbiota ambiental do local. Através de 40 placas de Petri com Agar Sabouraud dextrose expostas no ambiente de UTI foram coletadas amostras por exposição em locais estratégicos durante períodos da manhã e tarde por dez dias. Sete gêneros fúngicos foram identificados: Penicillium spp. (15,18%), o gênero de maior frequência, seguido de Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp., Fusarium spp., Paecelomyces spp., Curvularia spp., Alternaria spp., além de Zigomicetos e micélios estéreis. Houve predomínio de Aspergillus spp. (13,92%) pela manhã e Cladosporium spp. (13,92%) a tarde. Por estarem envolvidos em diferentes enfermidades, os gêneros identificados podem ser classificados como patógenos em potencial aos pacientes internados. Estes resultados reforçam a necessidade de um monitoramento dos micro-organismos ambientais com maior freqüência e eficiência nas instituições de saúde.
Fungi are ubiquitous organisms widely distributed in the environment, it can be found in the plants, animals, soil, water and air (Carmo et al., 2007). These microorganisms are carried through water, insects, humans and animals, having the ability to disperse through the atmospheric air, being called airborne (Mezzari et al., 2003).
Invasive mould infections represent a threat for high-risk patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Hospital infections caused by fungi have been frequently reported in hospitalized patients, with a high morbidity and mortality, making it increasingly important to the awareness of air quality. It can be estimated that in Brazil, the mortalities’ rates referring to infections associated to the health care, reach 38.4% of the hospitalized patients (Souza et al., 2015), meanwhile, as reported worldwide, from each 100 hospitalized patients, seven acquired infection associated to health care in development countries and ten in under development countries (WHO, 2011).
Many hospital acquired infections are exogenously due to the increased use of air conditioning systems, which together with the accumulation of moisture are a great source of fungal spread (Martins-Diniz et al., 2005; Colombo, 2000; Pfaller, 1996).
Although, fungal spores have the capacity to develop into different environments, they are considered inoffensive in immunocompetent subjects, but fatal in hospital inpatients receiving imunosuppressive medication (Afshari et al., 2013). It should be considered factors such as the fungal concentration, genus and species diversity, as well as their distribution characteristics in the environment, as shocking when considering the immunocompromised patients’condition (Zhang et al., 2015).
There are several reports in hospitalized patients affected by mycoses caused by airborne filamentous fungi present in the environment (Peckham et al., 2016; Caggiano et al., 2014; Shams-Ghahfarokhi et al., 2014), meanwhile in Brazil, few studies (Flores and Onofre, 2010; Lobato et al., 2009; Carmo et al., 2007; Martins-Diniz et al., 2005) characterizing the airborne fungi microbiota in the ICUsʼ environment, being an important knowledge for control strategies. The aim of this study was the isolation and identification of airborne fungi in an ICU from the University Hospital of Pelotas (RS – Brazil).
The survey of the airborne fungi in the ICU was performed at the University Hospital of Pelotas, RS, during the months from September to November. For the analysis, ten samples were collected through the Sedimentation Plate Method using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar Medium. For collection, eight dishes were exposed each day, for a 20 minutes period. Dishes were located under three room air-conditioners, having one air-conditioner in each room and also located where hospital materials are disposed, at approximately one meter height above ground (Flores and Onofre, 2010; Carmo et al., 2007).
For each day of the week, four samples from the morning period and four samples from the afternoon period were collected, totalizing 40 plates during the ten days of study (20 plates in the morning and 20 plates in the afternoon). Two samples were collected in one day from a period of five days, in other words, there were collection of samples in the morning and afternoon shifts, in the same day of the week, and each day corresponded with a different day of the week. Two sampling collection periods were performed, because general cleaning and sanitation of the place was performed in one hour before taking the samples in the same two studied periods.
After the plates were collected, they were incubated at 25 °C for seven days. The identification was performed through visualization of the macro and micromorphology characteristics of the growing colonies and the production of blades with visualization Lactophenol cotton blue and slide culture between blades when needed (Sidrim and Rocha, 2004).
From the 40 collected plates exposed into the ICU’s environment, 33 plates (82.5%) showed growth of 79 filamentous fungi colonies. The filamentous genera were established in the Figure 1.
Figure 1 Distribution of the isolated fungal genera from the Intensive Care Unit at the Pelotas University Hospital according to the time from collection.
From the 20 collected plates on the morning period, 15 (75%) presented fungal growth and from the 20 plates of the afternoon period, 18 (90%) showed fungal growth. Higher fungal isolation was shown on the afternoon period.
Seven fungal genera were identified (Figure 1) being: Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp., Fusarium spp., Paecelomyces spp., Curvularia spp., Alternaria spp. and by Zygomycetes and sterile mycelium.
Aspergillus spp. (13.92%) was the most predominant fungi genus in the morning period and the Cladosporium spp. genus (13.92%) in the afternoon period, both were identified in one of the two evaluated shifts.
For many years hospital fungal isolation has been reported such is the case of Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., Cladophialophora spp. and Fusarium spp. yet related with the Unit construction and renovation, providing conditions for the appearance of this kind of microorganisms in such places (El-Sharkawy and Noweir, 2014; Sautour et al., 2007; Martins-Diniz et al., 2005; Iwen et al., 1994).
Considered potentially pathogenic, the occurrence of the genera Penicillium, Aspergillus and Cladosporium, which stood out in this study, are reported as predominant in the hospital environment by others authors (Melo et al., 2009; Martins-Diniz et al., 2005). The fact that Aspergillus ssp. and Cladosporium ssp., were isolated only in one of the shifts is probably due, by the different hospital’s staff and routines in each period and by the abiotic conditions in which this experiment was done (Melo et al., 2009; Bernardi and Nascimento, 2005; Mezzari et al., 2003).
Despite the cleaning and sanitizing procedures realized according to the normative instructions, 82.5% of the isolates using Petri plates is a high rate to be observed in a hospital unit, mainly in an ICU. During the isolates’ perform, the genus Penicilium was the most isolated fungi, meanwhile, a moderate frequency in the morning (8.86%) and in the afternoon (6.32%) periods was observed. Even so its presence becomes relevant by being involved in reported cases of disseminated infections (Ye et al., 2015), multiple brain abscesses (Noritomi et al., 2005), peritonitis (Böhlke et al., 2007) and pneumonia in immunocompromised patients (Oshikata et al., 2013).
In Brazil, similar studies have been conducted at various locations, including Campina Grande (PB), Francisco Beltrão (PR), Rio Grande (RS) and Pouso Alegre (MG). In these cities, the most frequently isolated genus was Penicillium spp. varying in frequency from 40% to 93.3% (Flores and Onofre, 2010; Souza Júnior and Vieira, 2010; Melo et al., 2009; Lobato et al., 2009; Carmo et al., 2007). These frequency results were higher than those observed in this study, however according that Penicillium spp. was also the most frequently isolated genera, can be associated with the different atmospheric conditions and immunologic status of the patients in the execution period of the different researches.
Regarding that Aspergillus, is a fungus genus with a worldwide distribution, the most common species include A. flavus and A. fumigatus (Lacaz et al., 2002). Aspergilosis is related with different syndromes that can be manifest as allergic reactions or as invasive forms, otomycosis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis and skin infections, among others (Wanke et al., 2000). The genus Aspergillus spp., was reported by Panagopoulou et al. (2002) with a higher frequency than the observed in this study. When evaluating three hospitals in Greece for the presence of airborne fungi, the authors recorded the presence of this genus in 70.55% of their samples.
Lugauskas and Krikštaponis (2004) investigated the diversity of airborne fungi at hospitals in Lithuania and made the isolation of 41 genera, including Penicillium spp., as the most predominated species, followed by Aspergillus spp., Acremonium spp., Paecilomyces spp., Mucor spp. and Cladosporium spp. Their results were similar to those found in our study with the exception of the genera Acremonium spp. and Mucor spp.
Cladosporium spp. is a dematiaceous fungus, that contains melanin in their cellular walls, which brings them a dark color in their spores and hyphae, associated most of the time to the microorganism’s virulence (Revankar, 2007), causes mainly infections of the central nervous system such as brain abscess between others (Freitas et al., 1997; Goel et al., 1992). Mainly in relation to the genus Cladosporium, its frequency it’s also elevated in relation to the hospital environment as observed by Diongue et al. (2015) who obtained a percentage of 91.1% of all isolates related to this genus in a hospital ward. Apparently, Cladosporium spp. is associated with damages in the respiratory function, as demonstrated by Chen et al. (2014) associating the children exposition to the fungi having a reduction in the pulmonary function. These findings are higher in children with asthma (Vicendese et al., 2015).
In the same way, cases of infections caused by these environmental fungi had been described in immunocompetent individuals in locals with presence of high quantity of fungal inoculums. For example, related mycoses such as: disseminated pediculosis (Ye et al., 2015), mycotic endophthalmitis (Wu et al., 2011), intracranial aspergilloma (Mohammadi et al., 2015), cerebral aspergillosis (Bokhari et al., 2014), pulmonary scedosporium (Rahman et al., 2016), gastrointestinal aspergillosis (Koutsounas and Pyleris, 2015) between others diagnosis found in literature (Zahid and Farooqi, 2015; Borkar et al., 2008). This problem aggravates in immunocompromised patients, such is the case of hospitalized children with hypersensitivity related to the presence of the fungi inside the hospital (Beck et al., 2015; Libbrecht et al., 2015; Guppy et al., 1998).
It is worth mentioning that, also fungi with low prevalence must be considered relevant. This is the case of the Zygomycetes fungi which occurred in this study in a low frequency (5.05%), responsible of the zygomycosis which is a rare infection, however invasive and with fast evolution, affecting immunosuppressed and eventually immunocompetent subjects (Souza et al., 2014; Severo et al., 2010; Prabhu and Patel, 2004).
Allergic reactions in humans may be by the inhalation of airborne fungi, this determines the intensity of clinical significance, being able to develop respiratory diseases, among other diseases (Mezzari et al., 2003). Due to their invasive and opportunistic agents the presence of the genera Penicillium ssp. and Aspergillus ssp. in hospitals can cause high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, such as cancer patients in chemotherapy treatments, AIDS patients, patients with multiple trauma and among others are the most affected by opportunistic mycoses (Vesper et al., 2007; Moretti, 2007; Pfaller, 1996).
Economic loss is another aspect to be considered in the nosocomial infections. According to the disclosed data by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011), only in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the expenses in the year 1992 with infections related to health care were of US$ 18 million. Public institutions are attributed to have the highest rates of nosocomial infections, providing an increase in the costs of treatment three times higher than the subjects with not acquire infection, with episodes that are concentrated in the ICUs due to the presence of subjects with a higher severity clinical case and by their time of permanence in the ICU area (Moura et al., 2007; Prade, 1995).
Studies conducted by Shams-Ghahfarokhi et al. (2014), Caggiano et al. (2014) and Chang et al. (2014) confirmed that the environmental monitoring of airborne filamentous fungi is necessary to reduce fungal concentrations in operating theaters and in controlled environments, to prevent infections. According to Chang et al. (2014), in the tentative to reduce the environmental contamination by fungi, recommended that a standardized protocol for the sampling collection and culture is necessary in hospital institutions to verify the air quality.
In conclusion, the isolates in the ICU at the University Hospital from Pelotas were Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp., Fusarium spp., Paecelomyces spp., Curvularia spp., Alternaria spp., Zygomycetes and sterile mycelium. The presence of these pathogens emphasizes the importance of microbial control measures in the ICU.

So I just had a paper published in Science last week. In many ways, it has all the makings of one of those papers I should be really proud of. First, it represents a collaboration with my undergraduate advisor, Colleen Cavanaugh, the person who inspired me to go to graduate school and who got me interested in microorganisms, which I have worked on ever since (I published my first scientific paper on work I did in her lab). The paper is on one of the coolest biological systems on the planet - bacterial symbionts of deep sea animals that allow these animals to function much like plants (they use chemosynthesis in much the same way plants use photosynthesis). Studies of the deep sea and of chemosynthesis are important for understanding the origin and evolution of life, for understanding global carbon cycles, for understanding the rules by which symbioses evolve and much more. And on top of all of this, the paper reports the sequencing and analysis of the complete genome of one of these symbionts (that from the clam Calyptogena magnifica) - and one of my main areas of research is on the evolution of the genomes of symbionts. And, the genome was sequenced at the Joint Genome Institute, where I now have an Adjunct Position and am working with extensively. All sounds good right? And, I should be happy to get a paper in Science too, right?
Actually, in reality, I am not pleased with how this paper has turned out. This is really due to two things. First, my collaborators failed to keep me in the loop that the paper was accepted in Science. Thus I did not find out about the paper until I did a google search for some other reason and noticed this Deep-Sea News Blog which had a story, well, about the paper in Science. It would of course have been nice to know the paper was accepted and coming out. It would have been even better to have seen the page proofs, which might have given me the chance to catch some little and not so little mistakes (e.g., the paper claims that this species has the largest genome of any intracellular symbiont sequenced to date - which is unfortunately not true). Now, admittedly I was out sick for a while and maybe my collaborators just did not want to bother me with this information. More likely- people were just very busy - and this just slipped through the cracks.
But you know - it is a Science paper. I should be happy however it came into being right? Well, no. Completely and thoroughly wrong. You see, I do not support publishing things in Science. I object because Science is not an Open Access journal. I tried and tried to get Irene Newton the first author to submit this to another journal. But in the end, she did the brunt of the work, and thus she and her advisor, Colleen, got to pick the place. And in the time since Irene submitted the paper, I have become even more miltant against publishing in such non Open Access journals. Publishing in a non Open Access journal like Science make me feel icky in every way. In addition, by choosing to publish the paper there but not elsewhere, the field of deep sea symbionts may have been hurt rather than helped.
How could a Science paper hurt the field? Well, for one, Science with its page length obsession forced Irene to turn her enormous body of work on this genome into a single page paper with most of the detail cut out. I do not think a one page paper does justice to the interesting biology or to her work. A four page paper could have both educated people about the ecosystems in the deep sea, about intracellular symbionts in general, and about this symbiosis in particular. The deep sea is wildly interesting, and also at some risk from human activities. This paper could have been used to do more than just promote someone's resume (which really is the only reason to publish a one page page in Science).
But of course, even more importantly, anyone without a subscription to Science, well, they can't even read the paper. And AAAS gets to decide what happens to the text and figures in the future. So - count this as one of my papers I am not really proud of. I love that I helped my Undergrad. advisor and one of my favorite people in the world do this work. But by it not being in an Open Access journal, I have unfortunately contributed to a system that I think is bad for the world. And I just fell icky.
Below I have embedded a video of a dissection of what I think was a deep sea Calyptogena, just for the fun of it.
This was taken during a deep sea cruise I managed to get on. For mroe detail on this cruise, see the NOAA Ocean Explorers site here.

Badges - do scientists need any stinking badges?
Thanks to garry Myers at TIGR for pointing this one out.
I just got done browsing through the ScienceScouts Site. This comes from the Science Creative Quarteryly which I have never heard of before and seems to be some sort of blog. If anyone knows more about it let me know.
Anyway, the ScienceScouts site has "badges" like Boy Scout Badges, but for scientists.
"The "inordinately fond of invertebrate" badge.
In which the recipient professes an arguably unhealthy affinity for things of this category. (http://scq.ubc.ca/sciencescouts/index.html#30)"
The "I blog about science" badge.
In which the recipient maintains a blog where at least a quarter of the material is about science. Suffice to say, this does not include scientology.
which of course, I am awarding to myself.
Just got back from a dinner with Tony Hey, who was visiting UC. Davis to give a talk and meet with various people. Hey is currently VP for technical computing at some place called Microsoft. Hey has done some pretty interesting things in his career but what I know him from is his time as the head of the "E-science" initiative in the UK. Before I blather on about this ... check out Timo Hannay's blog about Hey's visit to Nature which has a pseudo outline of his talk he gave there.
It is interesting to see Microsoft getting into collaborative science --- I hope they stay serious about it because we need more "top down" types of efforts are big places like Microsoft. Whether Microsoft could make much money out of contributing to science I do not know, but if they put 1/1000 of the effort into this as they do into games and Office, science would almost certainly benefit. Many years ago when I was at TIGR, some Microsoft folks came to visit (when genome-stocks were going crazy) and expressed an interest in getting more involved in bioinformatics and genomics. Looks like that did not go anywhere. Maybe now is the time to try to get them doing this again?
I know Microsoft is viewed as Evil incarnate by many academics but hey (no pun intended), given the cool stuff being done by the Gates Foundation in various areas of science, maybe Microsoft will move a little more into science if only to support Gates Foundation efforts. Certainly, Tony Hey's background suggests that they have the potential to do some interesting stuff.
If you live near Davis you should check out the Davis Wetlands - a pseudopreserve over by the landfill. Its got amazing birds and some nice trails to walk around on. The only problem is, in the Winter, when it is wettest and the birding is best, the Wetlands is closed almost all the time. It is only open to the public for a few hours on Mondays. In addition, there are signs all over on most of the trails saying they are closed to vistors. What gives?
I am writing to ask some questions regarding usage policies for the Davis Wetlands. I think Davis Wetlands is one of the gems of this city. I have taken my now 20 month old daughter there many times to walk around and see the birds and animals and get a nice park-like experience. I am writing because I am concerned about the severe usage restrictions at the Davis Wetlands.
First, in the Winter months, the park is only open on Mondays which means those of us who work regular hours cannot use the park. I am wondering if there is some reason why the park is not open all days of the week in Winter and also how Monday was chosen as the day to be open. I would like to recommend that in Winter the park be open on at least one weekend day.
Second, I am wondering why such a large fraction of the park has signs that say "Park Employee's Only" or something like that. These are all over the park on many of the levees and they mean that very little of the park can be seen by non employees. I am wondering why so much is off limits and whether there are any plans to expand public access. If not, I would recommend you do so.

Is it OK to have a young earth creationist get a PhD in Paleontology?
Very interesting article in the NY Times about a Young Earth creationist who just got his PhD in Paleontology at the University of Rhode Island. The main question of the article was - should biologists consider this a bad thing? That is, if someone plans to do the work of a PhD thesis and will do it well, should their motivation for doing the PhD be considered when (1) accepting them into the program and (2) giving them the PhD?
The person, Marcus Ross is now teaching at Liberty University and some are concerned is using his credentials as a PhD Paleontologist to promote Intelligent Design as a scientific theory.
I am pretty torn about this one. On the one hand, when there ar elimited resources for training and funding PhD students, why waste money on someone who will end up probably not contributing to the field in a useful manner? On the other hand, if he is able to separate his personal religious beliefs from his scientific work, all the power to him.
I guess I have no real objection per se to him being a Young Earth Creationsist and getitng the PhD - after all many many many scientists have conflicting beliefs about science and religion. But I would object to training him if I knew that he simply planned to use his credentials to make anti scientific statements. Similarly, if someone was in the Med School at Davis and I knew they were planning on using their MD to write prescriptions for themselves and their friends, I would not support their place in the Med School. In the end, intent is a part of education and training and simply doing the work required is not enough to have me spend time helping train someone.
These closed journals are hardly the kind of people whose pockets you would want to line. Reed-Elsevier ..... are the same company that runs the DSEI international arms fair in London, at which vile weapons are sold to murderous regimes for cash profit extracted from very real suffering and pain, in countries you will never visit on holiday.
These people do not deserve our charity, and I will be very pleased to see you outside DSEI later this year, 300th copper from the left: because when you are so wrong you need police, security, wire fences, and the pitbull of PR to defend you, then you know you're in trouble.
get journalists to directly link to their studies. I suspect newspapers like to fantasise that they are mediators between specialist tricky knowledge and the wider public, but I wouldn't be so flattering.
I have not seen this --- I have had multiple stories written about my Open Access work and many have directly linked to my papers .... anyone have any idea what he is talking about here?
Well, went to the SacZoo with my daughter on Tuesday. Not the best zoo in the world, but it is a perfect size for her right now. She loves the Koi Pond in particular (but also the big cats and the flamingoes). The strangest part of this last visit was the guy who got his head stuck in the wooden animal cutout that you can have your picture taken in (you know, you stick your head through and take a picture from the other side).
Well, Randy Olson has done it again. Flock of Dodos is his new film. It is about the Intelligent Design vs. Evolution Debate and from what I can gather it skewers both sides of this issue quite a bit.
Randy was the head of Prairie Starfish Productions, which made some of the dorkier and funnier science moves I have ever seen including one about Loster Fisherman in New England. I first met Randy while on a Deep Sea cruise in the Gulf of Mexico where he was filming my then advisor Colleen Cavanaugh for a film about women scientists. He and I played some mischief on her associated with her first deep sea Alvin dive where we made a video of her stuffed panda being tortured.
But that is beside the point, Randy is really good about seeing through some of the facade of seriousness in science to get to the absurdities and dorkiness of some aspects of science.
So I suggest people try and check out his new film which is being screened around the country on Darwin's birthday next week.
Harold Varmus, one of the CoFounders of the Public Library of Science, has been featured on a NIH Profiles site. Through this site they are making a collection of his papers freely available. In addition, to co-founding PLOS, Varmus won one of those Nobel Prize thingies and was head of a little place called NIH.
Not that much is featured on the front pages. But if you go to the search page here you can search for all sorts of interesting stuff.

Excellent article in the NY Times Magazine this weekend on hybrids of purebred dogs.
The blade runner future is nearly with us ... what is to stop more and more twisted projects from happening? Nothing really. I mean, dog breeds are already freakish. With a little extra push, they will just get more bizarre. The really bad part of this is that the breed dogs and then kill the puppies that don't cut it for whatever their goals were. That has been happening for ages but it still saddens me.
Despite some depressing aspects of the article, it is a good read.

These are turbulent times for the travel sector.
Climate change is likely to bring blistering summers to Britain, which will encourage more people to find their own answer to Majorca in resorts like Scarborough and Bridlington.
This is great news for traditional UK seaside resorts, but it’s a very unwelcome development if your business model is built around encouraging millions of Britons to flee the country for a couple of weeks each summer in search of a tan.
Peter Fankhauser, the chief executive of Thomas Cook, a household name in the sector, must have opened his window every day from June to August and prayed for rain. The scorching summer has been blamed for sending the company’s share price plummeting.
The hot weather meant many traditional Thomas Cook customers spent June and July enjoying the sunshine at home instead of booking holidays abroad. Mr Fankhauser said the company’s recent trading performance was “clearly disappointing” and investors shared this glum assessment.
Thomas Cook makes all its profit in the summer when its customers in northern Europe, including Britain, Germany and Scandinavia go on holiday, mainly to warmer destinations in southern Europe such as Spain, Turkey and Greece.
So Thomas Cook’s perfect British summer is damp and dreary. Historically, Britain has a pretty good track record in serving up dismal summers that make millions of people beat a path to the travel agent.
However, as the climate changes, Britons may get used to sweltering summers and become less inclined to travel abroad.
Climate change is a terrible thing, but we must acknowledge that, unless drastic action is taken, our summers are likely to get warmer and this will affect consumer behaviour.
Throw the uncertainty caused by Brexit into the mix, which is likely to shake consumer confidence, and the long term prospects for traditional travel firms become distinctly foggy.
British coastal resorts should be well-placed to undergo a renaissance. Why head to the airport if the temperature in Scarborough is the same as the Costa Brava?
If we can fix the woeful public transport system and improve the road networks, we will have a chance to revive the British seaside experience which was so popular with our parents and grandparents.
Meanwhile, bosses at Thomas Cook must be hoping that the British summer of 2019 turns out to be gloomy. Dull weather across northern Europe will mean more travellers head to sunnier climes.
There are signs that many businesses and consumers are tightening their belts in response to the uncertain political environment.
Travelodge has reported rising sales and profits in the first half of the year as more consumers and businesses opt for budget hotels due to the UK’s economic slowdown.
The firm pointed to “economic uncertainty” in the UK, which has helped drive up demand for budget accommodation among consumers and businesses.
However, Travelodge bemoaned the impact of “significant” cost increases, citing the National Living Wage and operational burdens, although it added that it has successfully navigated these challenges.
Consumers who are keeping a tight grip on spending, could beat a path to Yorkshire..
It’s a chance to revive the lost art of holidaying at home. | 2019-04-23T13:09:23 | https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/opinion/greg-wright-hot-summers-offer-chance-to-revive-art-of-holidaying-at-home-1-9364461 |
You have to wonder if investing in cannabis is legal because on a federal level, things still seem to be up in the air. With more companies going public every day, the still illegal industry is growing rapidly. Score one for the stoners: The pot industry is poised to be gigantic as more states embrace legalization. And, if you want to get in on the ground floor, several advocates say now is the right time to bet big on marijuana.
If you want to forgo the licensing process and invest in an existing company—which is safer, make sure that the company follows state regulations. States that have legalized for adult use rather than just medical tend to have more existing rules, leaving less ambiguity and less legal risk. | 2019-04-24T03:58:24 | http://www.xivgrams.com/xiv-finance/how-to-legally-invest-in-pot-companies |
JURGEN KLOPP will turn to German youngster Max Meyer if top target Lorenzo Insigne turns Liverpool down.
The Reds are looking for potential Philippe Coutinho replacements amid fears they could lose their battle to keep the player.
Coutinho wants out of Anfield and Barcelona could launch a third bid after seeing two offers turned down.
Insigne is said to be Liverpool’s No.1 choice to come in for the Brazilian.
He scored 20 goals for Serie A giants Napoli last term and Klopp is a big fan of the midfielder.
But he’ll turn to Meyer if the Italian doesn’t fancy a switch.
The 21-year-old has just a year left on his contract at Schalke and The People say he’s turned down a new offer.
And they add he’s open to moving to Liverpool and taking up the opportunity to work with Klopp.
Bayern Munich are also keen on Meyer.
Tottenham have also been tracking the youngster, who helped Germany win the Under-21 European Championships last summer. | 2019-04-20T12:59:52 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/636979/Liverpool-transfer-news-Max-Meyer-Jurgen-Klopp-target-Philippe-Coutinho-replacement |

In Parashat Eikev, Moshe recounts some of the travails Bnei Yisrael endured during their forty year sojourn in the desert. One test described is, “HaMaachilecha Mann BaMidbar… Lemaan Anotecha ULemaan Nasotecha LeHeitivecha BeAcharitecha,” “He (Hashem) feeds you Mann in the desert… in order to afflict you and test you to do good for you at the end” (Devarim 8:16). It is incongruous that the Mann, the heavenly food which miraculously descended daily in front of Bnei Yisrael’s tents, is a test. How is this apparent benefit a test? Rashi suggests that the test of the Mann was whether Bnei Yisrael would keep all the difficult laws which pertained to it. No Mann could be left overnight, yet the people could never be completely sure if more food would be available the next day. This was a taxing test of Bnei Yisrael’s faith in Hashem.
Seforno, however, takes the opposite approach. He maintains that the test was whether Bnei Yisrael would remain righteous despite knowing that all their food, without fail, would be miraculously provided by Hashem. Seforno states that when Bnei Yisrael were freed from the constraints and distractions of tending to their physical needs, they were charged to continue to improve themselves and not to be complacent in their comfortable positions.
Seforno’s understanding of the test of the Mann is reminiscent of Chazal’s dictum, “One who upholds the Torah in poverty will eventually merit upholding it in prosperity. And one who ignores the Torah in prosperity will eventually be forced to ignore it in poverty” (Avot 4:9). If Bnei Yisrael would fail to keep the Torah during the relative affluence of the idyllic Midbar existence, they would eventually be constrained to ignore the Torah due to the physical hardships of toiling for food.
Something that most people share is a lack of free time. Our lives are hectic, with work, families, school or whatever else saps our time. Setting aside a fixed time for Torah study seems to be nearly impossible. However, the Mishnah enjoins us not to despair. If we can uphold the Torah when we are “poor” in free time and show Hashem that we really care about His Torah, He will grant us additional time to continue our study. Conversely, we must try our best not to squander free time. For many, especially students, the summer is a time for vacation and relaxation. There is absolutely no problem with relaxing, but we dare not neglect our sacrosanct obligation to learn Torah, so that we are not forced to neglect Torah when we have little free time. | 2019-04-19T12:46:56 | https://www.koltorah.org/articles/affluenza-by-avi-levinson |

I’m not a big fan of those “… for Dummies” books. The books themselves are okay, I suppose, but the titles are a bit insulting. They seem to imply that we’re a bunch of idiots who need help with even the simplest of tasks.
I personally think we’re all a bit smarter than that. I happen to know something (maybe not much, in the grand scheme of things) about photography, and I thought that if I shared it with you a little at a time, I’d be able to help you along your way to creating photos as beautiful as the crafts you create.
Although I hope a wide variety of readers will come to enjoy my posts, this blog is primarily geared to those who sell on Etsy.com. Here you’ll find tips and techniques to improve your product photographs, information about cameras and lenses, discussions about lighting and some other fun goodies. I’ll be posting a few of my own favorite photos, as well as examples of photos taken by other Etsy sellers along with a discussion of what makes these photos stand out.

Sounds like this will be interesting. Looking forward to seeing the photos you feature from fellow Etsians.
Looks like this site will be helpful and informative! Sounds like a blog that I will keep tabs on!
Great info. I was going to go to the library today to get some books on photography but they probably wouldn’t have been as helpful as your blog, and not as product specific. Instead, I think I’ll go get one of those bendy, claw-like, tripod thingies and play. Again, thanks, and if you’re not already flooded with requests, I’d appreciate any critiques of my stores photos.
Thanks for the kind words – I’m glad you found the information helpful. I just looked at your shop, and I think you do beautiful work. The one change that you can make that would give you the biggest improvement would be to simply display your pieces in the location in which they would be used. Two examples — (1) Put those cutting boards on a kitchen counter instead of against a block wall. (2) Put that message board in a hallway or next to a phone instead of against the house siding. But be careful of how you set up your shots. Although you want the location to be obvious, you don’t want a lot of unnecessary distractions in the background. Once you have the scene set, then you can start concentrating on other issues like lighting and focus.
Hey there, I saw this blog through esty and I have to say I’m so glad I found it. I wanted to get down and dirty with how to make my future shop shine so I’m looking up the subject on taking pictures.
I’m looking forward to all of your blog posts and thank you for making this!
Greenpix is always spot on and very informative. I appreciate the attention to detail and the useful info. you bring each and every time. I also have to say ‘THANK YOU VERY MUCH’ for incuding my ‘Wagon Wheel’ pic in this feature of ‘Nice Folks, Nice Things’…Very unexpected, but very nice indeed.
Your blog is one of the most helpful I’ve ever read regarding digital camera’s and photo’s in general. Layman’s terms is one thing, but your clear concise wording is what makes it work so well…that and your very approachable manner. Keep up the great work. | 2019-04-22T09:10:18 | https://gpix.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/welcome-to-greenpix/ |
I was getting cabin fever again, so as soon as Storm Eric had passed ..I put on my thermals and packed the F Rib 275 into the back of the car.
I went to Glencoe and Loch Leven. If you wonder why some folk go boating when its still well below freezing point ..perhaps this video will let you see why.
The clarity of the atmosphere and the cool winter colours cannot be matched by warmer weather.
Hope you enjoy it.. and yup..it was c..c..cold.
Hi Billy..I cant help with this one as its working fine for me too and there have been several folks watching and commenting on it on my You Tube channel.
Perhaps its something to do with linking from Ribnet ?

Google Adwords is a tedious task, but at the same time, it is important for boosting the sales of the business. Google is the top most and rated search engines on which 10 billion of people rely every day to search something and trust the results of Google. Google has understood the importance of online marketing and has introduced .
As Adword is relatively new in the market, you need to know more and detail information before you have decided to opt for the service. Here, we are discussing the essentials of the Adword.
Google AdWords is an online advertising service developed by Google to help marketers reach their customers instantly.
When someone searches on Google for a particular keyword say ‘buy shoes’, Google would throw a list of searches for you. But if you look closely, you will notice that the top and the bottom results are generally ads.
As in this image you can see first three link are google ad and last two link are google inorganic search result.
Advertisements on Google are called PPC advertisements because you get charged only when a person clicks your advertisement.For create your add with google adword visit www.adwords.com or www.google.com/adwords.
Now, let’s see all of these ad types in detail.
Like my buy shoes example earlier, when a user searches for something on Google, the list of ads that appear above the organic listing are called search ads. For example, when a user searches for “buy shoes online”, the search results will look something like this.
Quality score: Quality score again depends on all of the other factors mentioned above. So, it’s more like a cycle than everything else. Everything is inter related.
All these special ads are available on the search network. Except for call-only ads, others are available in display and video campaigns as well. The concepts are the same, but the platforms are different.
Keywords – The ads are displayed based on the keywords that they are optimized for. Let’s say the keyword for the ad is “Social Media Marketing”, then Google would choose websites that have content on the topic. Basically Keyword are very important for google adwords champion. So before create your ad you should research best keywords by using google Keyword Planner tool.
So, now you know what Google AdWords is, and the types of ads that are available for you to run.You can use any one of them which is good for your business, only you will decide according your business requirement.
We hope that you like this so please like, share and comments.

Kurt unloaded his backpack after driving here from Texas. I found the aftermath amusing in it's strange randomness made even better by the can of cat food.
As I mentioned, Dot and Kurt drove along with her two cats, Dynamo and Squirt. Squirt is not quite my style of cat, he's long haired and cranky.
And he's a one woman cat, really liking Dot and only Dot. He mostly stays out of the way.
But Dynamo -- Oh boy, he's a cat I adore. First of all, he's HUGE. And just look at that mug!
He's about 16 pounds and a big love bug. He flops right over and wants you to rub his belly, then just lies there, legs splayed out for another hour. Apparently he sat in Kurt's lap while they were driving across the country. Kurt has started calling him "Big Mo."
Kurt and his mom got in last night, they made great time on the road. Dot even got to drive for about 50 miles somewhere out in the middle of the 10 in the desert. She was so happy to have been able to drive for a while as it will probably be the last time she drives for a long time, more probably for ever. Did I mention she's 90? Her cats also made the trip very well, apparently. They are out in Kurt's office, hiding, laying low -- literally -- and if you have cats, you know what I mean.
Dot will move into her new place tomorrow afternoon. The movers arrive at noon. I'll supervise the placement of stuff (we worked it all out with a floorplan in Texas) while Kurt and his mom either play cards or hang out in the large living room area near her apartment on the third floor. Then she can sit in her barcalounger and rest while we unpack dishes and books and things, figure out where to hang pictures, etc. Moving IN is always much easier than moving OUT, I find.
Last night at dinner she asked "How would you ask more than one person if they want something? Would you say 'Would you both like...'?" We were confused and asked her why she was asking. She said "I figure I can't say "Y'all" anymore."
Our backyard neighbor, seen here, was following me around as I set the sprinkler out this afternoon. He seriously wanted me to get his food and now please. I was talking on the phone to my mom and this little dude was about 2 feet away from me on the fence. I could just hear him: "put the phone down and go get the food!" So I went to the office where the food is and he followed me to the door, trying to point out where we keep it, no doubt. I got the food, still talking to my mom and then held out a handful, resting it on the fence. He ambled over and ate out of my hand! OMG!!!11! His leeeetle tongue was licking my fingers as he gently took one seed after another.
My very own Cute Overload.
I finally got home at 9pm last night. I watched Top Chef on the tivo to wind down then slept like a rock until 6:30. Oh, there was a moment when Bunny had to come and snuggle under the covers with me.
I remember reading a book on grief that said our losses produce a great amount of energy and when we "deal" with the emotions "incorrectly" we store that energy inside of us. A healthy steam kettle releases energy gradually - a goofed up one explodes.
I let some steam go. I cried most of the way back on the plane yesterday. I almost started in the taxi on the way to the airport. Kurt and his mom had already left on their road trip and so it was just me at the house and as we backed away, I felt this transition deeply. I have no idea about how Dot feels about it, she's not of our age of expressing emotions about these kinds of things. And while I didn't have any real attachment to her house, just a few Christmas visits, the bigger idea of it all sank in. I know it was enhanced by all the pain around Jen's transition too. Jen's transition is also my transition, everyone's transition as we figure out how to live our lives from here on without her there.
I've been wearing two Live Strong yellow bracelets for the last few months. A friend of Kurt's who I had never met came over and saw them and asked "oh you have two bracelets on, do you know someone with cancer?" I said "yes, I do. Well, I knew someone with cancer." It's a grey area these days with verb tenses. I have a sister, Jennifer. I had a sister, Jennifer.
And there is not a cloud in the sky now. But our aircraft is still in Austin for some reason. Holy crap. Kurt and his mom will be out of Texas before I am and they are driving! The computer says we will be departing at 7:40pm but if the plane is still in Austin, I'm not sure how that will work. I would rather they made cancel the flight and make us stay overnight so I could just head to a hotel and put my feet up.
I went to ask the guy out front about the status and he said in fact the plane would be here from Austin at 7:30 and we would be departing at 7:50...so we'll see what happens.
Well, the weather is getting better, but my plane is still in Austin, apparently. My flight is supposed to leave in about 25 minutes, but there is no sign of an aircraft, so I'll go check with the dude...no real news. There is another aircraft at our gate, so clearly we are not leaving at 5. Oh well.
Nothing more exciting than to read my "live blogging" from my delayed flight, huh?
I got really spoiled in 2005 and 2006 when I had bought a year membership in the Red Carpet Club in anticipation of traveling back and forth to Virginia while working on John Adams.
All that changed and I thought that the money was wasted, but as it turned out, Kurt and I ended up traveling so much in 2006 that it was well worth it in the end. When we went to Montreal for a wedding in June 2006, we flew Air Canada and got to hang in their lounges at LAX and in Montreal. Must say, the Air Canada lounges were FAB-U-LOUS!
I am fortunate that I can be here in the lounge and while a delay is a drag, it's really not that big a deal. I have nothing scheduled at home and it all really comes into perspective as I sat for a while near the gate where the charter plane that flies the US Army had arrived. There were tons of Army personnel waiting around, waiting to get back to Iraq. I spoke to a nice man who was headed back to Mosul for another five months. He had been home for two weeks. What is a delayed flight to LA in comparison to that?
Every time I fly through Dallas, I come face to face with the war as this appears to be a major hub for military transportation. The war is so far form a reality in my every day life and it's such a direct reminder to even just see people in uniform, heading to Iraq.
We are sitting in the kitchen with the one smaller table and the four "unwanted" chairs. We didn't have to clear out the whole house so there are still some plates and furniture -- still beds in the guest rooms, thank goodness. (Though to be honest, a hotel room wouldn't have been unwelcome...) The movers were fantastic, nice, friendly, and so helpful. (If you need a cross country move, I have the guy for you. Seriously, Chuck is great.) Kurt's mom is of the old old school/stoic variety so there isn't much chit chat about the house she's lived in for 35 years being almost empty and on a truck heading west.
Now we are ordering thai food for our last hurrah.
While we didn't move the whole house, we did move about 5000 pounds of stuff and it all fit in that first section above the wheels, from where it says "Cross Country" to the front. Amazing how much space in a house is just air. Though I'm grateful I didn't have to pack any of the stuff myself! We did plenty enough clearing/goodwill delivering and throwing out before the movers came.
Somehow I like the stick version better. More dramatic. | 2019-04-23T06:42:03 | https://juliasmexicocity.typepad.com/julias_mexico_city/2008/05/index.html |
Total national press circulations were boosted during June by a news hungry public searching out the latest on the Brexit vote. June’s total figure increased to over 8.1 million copies a day. The Brexit debate, the vote and the political manouevres that followed generated genuine interest and sales. But the early summer boost has faltered and the most recent September figures have seen circulations fall back again. The gains have been wiped out.
September 2016 Circulations are just released.
Total newspaper circulations still stand at an impressive 7.9 million copies on a weekday and over 6 million on a Sunday for September though. So for response advertisers and mail order brands they offer a cost effective and responsive option.
In June the quality nationals saw major gains. The Guardian added an extra 6,000 copies to its circulation, The Times was up 2.5% month on month and an impressive 15.3% year on year to almost 450,000 copies.
In the popular sector the Brexit leaning Sun was up almost 40,000 copies and the Star 5,000. Surprisingly The Mirror readers didn’t show so much interest, with a drop of 8,000.
All the mid-market titles showed marginal gains – Mail up 4,000, Express 6,000 and Metro 2,500.
The most recent September circulations have just been published and have unfortunately wiped out the June gains with circulations down for all titles against the June figures.
The nationals still have substantial reach of course – almost 8 million copies a day. They remain a key channel for off the page and direct advertisers. They generate response, reach a broad audience and are of course, quick and cost efficient. For mail order and increasingly, e-commerce brands, they are an ideal medium for generating response and building a buyers database. And response positions in the nationals can be surprisingly affordable too. | 2019-04-18T16:38:08 | https://djhadvertising.co.uk/newspapers-cant-maintain-brexit-boost/ |
As I reflect on this quote, I imagine all of the potential roles we might play in life: child, parent, friend, co-worker, mentor, etc. What might we find beyond these defining perspectives? Is there an essential, core being that transcends all of these roles?
Suggested practice this week: Who are you, beyond the story?
What would it be like to simply be a body breathing?
What would it be like to allow yourself to simply be a body breathing, without a story?
As you play with this practice, is it possible to allow yourself the gift of feeling a greater sense of freedom? Notice whatever arises, perhaps with a sense of wonder and discovery. Are you surprised?
Next: Let Go. Lean In. | 2019-04-24T20:41:47 | http://mindbodyjournal.com/mindfulness/who-are-you/ |
When students cross a street, they are to go to the cross walk and cross. Students have been crossing in the middle of the street, and we've had many incidences of cars coming awfully close to hitting students.

The size and shape of this slate board is wonderful, and I prefer the green to the usual black (although the black is certainly nice too). It's so easy to add a few simple cheese and end up with a beautiful presentation. It's also perfect for a light "dinner" for two! | 2019-04-22T02:23:41 | https://www.jkadams.com/product/173/slate-cheese-boards |
We are committed to following the Holy Spirit into whatever geographical areas, cultural and racial groups He may call us to work with Him in the future. This grows out of our mandate given in Acts 1:8 as well as our calling to do our part in fulfilling the Great Commission.
We commit ourselves as a ministry to praying that this will take us to the ends of the earth.
PRMI’s calling in taking part in fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission is equipping Christians to cooperate with the Holy Spirit who is the director of church growth, missions and evangelism.
According to Jesus, the Holy Spirit’s role is to bring glory to Jesus by taking from what is mine and making it known to you (John 16:14).
In Acts 1:4-8 Jesus established the Holy Spirit as the way that we could take part in fulfilling the Great Commission.
Since 1966 this ministry has developed teaching materials and programs that enable Christians to grow in the dynamic of cooperating with the Holy Spirit so they may take part in growing the church and advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We look for those places where the Holy Spirit is moving to advance the Gospel.
Our equipping is based on the approach and contents the Dunamis Institute designed to raise up leaders who then have access to our teaching materials and then do the teaching.
Often the Lord will use a person (or persons) who are given a vision and burden for a particular location; they are also given open doors to connect with the nation involved. This is the St. Paul model of doing missions.
Because we are moving with the Holy Spirit in the midst of waves of revival, we see astonishing fruit of thousands of people involved, signs and wonders of the power of God, and the establishment of indigenous leaders who carry on the equipping themselves.
For those who are called into leadership and in teaching roles they become members of the Dunamis Fellowship International that provides spiritual support, accountability, fellowship and continued equipping.
PRMI is called to fulfill its vision of exalting Jesus Christ and do our core work of creating the context where Jesus may work to fulfill Acts 1:4-5, 8; Acts 2:17-18 and Acts 2:38-39.
Together these verses point to the biblical reality that this empowering equipping work of the Holy Spirit is for all of God’s people and is essential for anyone who is called to witness to Jesus.
With the establishment of the Dunamis Project in 1991 and the Dunamis Fellowship in 2002 our sphere of activity expanded to include the United Kingdom, Uganda, Indonesia, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Haiti, Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala, Taiwan, Korea, China, Japan, and New Zealand. In the future we are committed to following the Holy Spirit as He deepens and expands our spheres of activity in these geographical and cultural areas where this work has already taken root and is growing.
The means through which we believe Jesus will make this possible are the Dunamis Fellowship International and the anointed people within it.
Being obedient to Jesus Christ and His call upon us looks like this below and is a continuation into the present day of the great movement of the Holy Spirit that God the Father set in motion at Pentecost.
According to Acts 2:17-18, our “spheres of activity” include both men and women, young and old as well as different social classes. From 1966 to 2010 our spheres of activity have included men and women, young and old and our faith basis has insured that different social classes have been included. We have offered family conferences – Messiah College and Branson family conference, youth and children programs for Spirit Alive, and Family Camp at the Community of the Cross.
With the introduction of the Youth Empowerment in 1995, that grew into Upward Challenge, we have been called to provide equipping for “our sons and our daughters” so that they may begin to exercise the ministry gifts of the Holy Spirit. Upward Challenge serves both as a context for mentoring young people into leadership as well as providing a gateway for young people to enter into the movement of the Holy Spirit. We are committed to following the Holy Spirit as He continues to call us to create the contexts in which we provide training and materials for our sons and daughters to be equipped by the Holy Spirit for ministry and outreach. | 2019-04-24T20:33:19 | https://www.prmi.org/ministries-of-prmi/mission-outreach-prmi/ |
Making their mark on Indiegogo, is PaMu earbuds – a truly wireless set that is only $29 for a limited time.
Going earbud-to-earbud with some of the top names in the truly wireless market is newcomer PaMu. These TWS earbuds have already racked in $542,298 from crowd sourcing on Indiegogo (at the time of writing this article). That far exceeds their $10,000 goal. That surely is a testament to the demand for affordable and functional truly wireless buds.
According to Padmate, the company behind PaMu, these buds are better than that of leading brands, including Apple AirPods, Samsung Gear IconX, Jabra Elite Sport, and Bragi Dash. That’s because PaMu features a 10 mm driver, balanced audio, noise cancellation, auto connect technology, a secure and ergonomic fit, and touch controls while the other brands only posses some of these features. Moreover, PaMu also supports a 3.5 hour battery life with a charging case that supplies an additional 12 hours of use. Then there’s the $29 price tag (for now). But even when PaMu retails at it’s MSRP of $109, it’s still a steal!
In that case, you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain with PaMu. Hurry on over to their Indiegogo page to grab your $29 PaMu truly wireless earbuds before it’s too late.
P.S. If interested, you’ve got four days.
