World YWCA
The World YWCA advocates for peace, justice, human rights and care for the environment and has been at the forefront of raising the status of women for more than a century. The World YWCA develops women's leadership to find local solutions to the global inequalities women face. Each year, it reaches more than 25 million women and girls through work in over 22,000 communities. Through advocacy, training and development the World YWCA empowers women, including young women, to lead social change.
This grassroots development experience shapes the organisation's global advocacy agenda. The World YWCA work is inspired by Christian principles and a commitment to women's full and equal participation in society. It is a volunteer membership movement inclusive of women from many faiths, backgrounds, and cultures. The World YWCA affirms that women's human rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated.
A human rights framework and the Millennium Development Goals guide the YWCA advocacy and services, which seek to empower women and girls and bring practical experience from the community level to national, regional and international policy makers. The movement is also guided in its work by the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Beijing Platform for Action, the Declaration of Commitment on HIV and AIDS, as well as the agenda of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD).
The World YWCA works in collaboration with many partner organisations and networks to advance its advocacy and programme work, including women's networks, ecumenical, youth and international organisations, and UN agencies operating with women and young women.
The vision of the World YWCA is a fully inclusive world where justice, peace, health, human dignity, freedom and care for the environment are promoted and sustained by women's leadership. To attain this vision, the World YWCA has developed a strategic framework that guides its work. The framework embraces a rights-based approach and is implemented with Member Associations, partners and policy makers.

Transfers result from internal decisions to move resources between funds.
Where management decides to allocate unrestricted contributions to restricted funds, the unrestricted revenue would first be presented as revenue of the general fund and then transferred to the restricted fund.
Transfers need not be disclosed individually if similar transfers can be grouped together.
Interfund loans would be disclosed in the statement of financial position where the organization uses a multi-column format, otherwise disclosure of these loans would be in the notes.

extending compassion to everyone, including the poorly educated who were fearful enough to put this incompetent, reactionary administration and Congress in power. The dangerously broken people whose fear blinds them to our common humanity are MOST in need of the kind of love that is stubborn and courageous - the love demonstrated (in my lifetime) by Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, and still today by John Lewis. Let us overpower fear and bring our best hopes into being with stubborn love for everyone, everywhere we go, the world over.

man-db is in the base group, I believe base and base-devel packages are supposed to be installed anyway and not regarded as dependencies in AUR packages.

So I knew AdSense would be launching an AdSense for Mobile product sometime this fall, so I did what any good publisher would do… I researched how make mobile-friendly versions of some of my sites that I knew got mobile traffic, and started transitioning some to recognize the many mobile browsers and forward those visitors off to a mobile.example.com. That way I would be ready to get them AdSensed-up once the new product was released.
But alas, when i got the word they launched it, I log in and am greeted with "* We do not currently offer AdSense for Mobile in Canada. " Although I do have to give them credit for at least alerting me to the fact that they won't give it to me, rather than me wondering why it didn't show up.
So who does get AdSense for Mobile? US, England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Russia, Netherlands, Australia, India, China, and Japan are all on the list, either as having it already or will in the next few weeks.
I am starting to wonder what Google has against Canadians… first I had a whole fiasco with trying to be a qualified company in the Google AdWords Professionals program when they included just about every country in the world except Canada… and now this. I can see testing some things in the US only first, but that is a pretty large list of countries they are allowing, while excluding Canada. So I am pretty peeved, especially since their own Google Analytics tool tells me the vast majority of my traffic is US based.
So I am disappointed to say I don't have any cool screenshots of AdSense for Mobile in action on my Blackberry to show you like I had planned.
AdSense hasn't actually said too much about AdSense for Mobile, as they haven't actually added anything about the new product to their help files yet when I searched for "mobile"… ("Your search — mobile — did not match any answers in the AdSense Help Center. Please edit your search terms and try again.") They do have a press release as well as a blog entry. There are some documents available on compliancy (such as using a mobile markup language & having server-side scripting) once you click the "Get started" for AdSense for Mobile.
One can assume that smart pricing will still be applied to AdSense for Mobile, with the same/similar revenue share as is in place for standard AdSense.
There are two ad sizes available – single (one ad) and double (two ads stacked). The ads are text only right now, although one could expect they might move to image ads as well, for some of the newer mobile products. And yes, they are branded with Ads by Google 😉
To start using it, you will find it on your AdSense products page in your control panel… if it is available in your country, that is!

Always curious, I ordered Silhouette Patterns Yoga Pant #3400. Well, it's more than curiosity, although it is that too. I mean, don't you want to try the patterns from new designers? Don't you want to test new delicious details? But it is more than curiosity because I have a few patterns which fit me nicely but I still have issues. I'm still wanting a pant with a slim leg. The slim legs that I do have are either too slim (and thus reveal all that I would like to keep concealed) or have volumes of excess fabric each over the back thigh. I've made several attempts to slim down my favorite patterns, (Pp113, the Eureka, MSS…) I even took my favorite jean TJ906 and tried to put the pieces together to form a slim leg. No joy. In fact, slimming these pants beyond a certain point, causes them to develop diagonal back wrinkles. As a result, I'm always interested in seeing if a new draft can offer me a slim leg and nice fitting pant.
I chose to use size 16W. Although hesitant, I also used the envelope instructions and wrapped my Ponti De Roma fabric around me and measured the fabric. I was perplexed that the envelope listed 16 and 16W as having the same measurements. I emailed Peggy and then deciding that it was too late for her to answer that day, I decided to compare the two sizes. The 16W appeared to me to have a longer back crotch extension. My muslin plan had been to add 3/4″ to the side seams and 3/4 to the back inseam. With the thought that the back inseam was already longer, I decided to use the 16W and add only the 3/4″ side seam insurance. I also shortened the leg 3″. I always have to shorten the legs. I think it is difficult to see how the leg hangs when it is puddled on the floor. So I shorten the leg immediately. In summary just 2 changes, 1)add 3/4″ to side seams, 2) shorten legs 3″.
I basted all seams except for the crotch. Those I serged. Also I didn't have 2″ elastic. The widest on hand was 1.5″. So I slipped that into my waistband and basted directly beneath the lower edge of the elastic before basting the waistband to the pant.
My first fitting was horrible.
The front and back were obviously too tight. Enormously too tight. I was so surprised at how tight it was that I rechecked pattern instructions, size recommendation and then whether I had copied the correct size. (Copying the wrong size happens.) With everything saying I had the right size, I decided to measure the pattern itself. I aligned front and back along the side seams but did not over lap. I measured at the hip line and it was nowhere near 43″. I started sliding the tape measure down to find the widest point above the crotch which did measure 43″ but that includes the four 3/8″ seam allowances. I don't calculate the seam allowances in the finished measurements. Had I known the SA was included I would have started with a larger size.
Well I still had my 3/4″ SA insurance. I let out the side seams as much as possible. In fact I changed all my seam allowances to 1/4″. Doesn't sound like much but it is adding 1/8″ per SA per side. Across the hip are 4 seams. So that would be 4 seams * 2( 2 pieces of fabric at each seam) * 1/8 (the amount being let out). That alone adds 1″ ease. Letting out the side seams added at least another 2 " [2 (side seams) *2 (2 pieces of fabric) * 1/2″ (amount let out)]. I've added a total of 3″ ease. The pant should no longer have negative ease. It should have a total of 2.5″ ease. And still looks like h@ll:
I've watched Peggy's videos. She insists that taking a dart along the hip line will remove the diagonal below the leg. This never worked for me before. But I haven't tried this particular procedure in a while and thought it wouldn't hurt.
Yeah, no joy . (You can't see the dart very well. I took it on the inside.). I tried several other things pulling the sides up and down; pulled the CB up even higher. Eventually I even scooped the back crotch. There was hardly any change to the appearance of the pants.
No joy for Bev with Silhouette 3400.
I've put the pattern away, for now. I realize I have a contributing fabric issue. This was purchased from Joanns bottom weight fabrics just last November. It is beefy, like I expect a bottom weight to be. It is Ponte Di Roma which includes a significant amount of rayon but also includes some poly. I don't remember the exact percentages. Joanns is not known as a fine fabrics store, but I have found and sewn with better pant fabrics than this. In the end, I agree with the Clothingengineer: fabric can make the difference between a favorite and a wadder.
I might not be interested in this pattern at all except for the shaping in the legs. A lot of thought went into allowing room for hips, thighs, knees. When I did my leg length alterations, I removed 1.5″ above the knee. I compared this pattern with my PP113 and aligned the knee. Peggy has shaped side seam and inseam of both the back and front. This is meant to be a close-fitting or at least semi-fitted pant. I would love to take advantage of the shaping. I always cringe when Peggy says that a hip dart will remove the back diagonal wrinkles. Cringe again when it works on her models. I've never had that work for me. About 8 years ago, I also "did a round" with putting a dart on the back thigh just under the bum. It would work beautifully on my muslin. Transfer to the pattern and make another copy and the diagonals were back again. What has worked for me, is sufficient fabric across the back, a nonclingy fabric, a generous back crotch. The L and V-shaped crotches do not work for me, e-v-a-h. I need a nice deep J. This crotch was not only kind of flat across the back extension like an L, but the upright rose at an angle. I need the upright to be really upright. I don't understand why that makes a difference but it does for my body.
I've put this pattern away to give myself time to think. I'd like to use the side and inseam shaping. I just don't know how at the moment.
BTW the hem circumference of this pant is 19″. That's not a slim leg IMO.
Peggy responded much more quickly than I expected. Her advice was a it depends. She said the two, 16 and 16W were exactly the same (so why have 2). But if I felt I had a larger waist, go with the W.
Wrapping the fabric around me, is not the way for me to choose size. I can't see what's happening in back. Besides, I learned a long time ago that just because it goes around you doesn't mean it fits.

Title: Unbreak My Heart (First Edition)
Author: K-lee Klein
Cover Artist: Trace Edward Zaber
Buy Link: Updated Amazon Buy Link
Genre: Contemporary M/M Romance
Length: Novel
Rating: 4.25 stars
A Guest Review by Sammy
Review Summary: What happens when you lose the one person you love? How do you manage to pick up the pieces and go on?
Blurb: Brett Taylor has been doing just fine living in his own little world for the past three years, thank you very much. Losing someone special is life changing, and Brett doesn't understand why everyone and their damn dog thinks they can get all up in his business about him needing to move on. He managed to make the transition from musician to rancher without relying on anyone else's opinion or help, and he certainly doesn't need some city kid coming into his life to disrupt his routine—one that involves grief, isolation, and a whole lot of Jack Daniels.
Moving from one meaningless job to the next, JT Campbell is on a quest to escape his old life and figure out who he is and where he belongs. He's not looking to save anyone, let alone a secretive, hotter-than-hell rancher who wears his heart on his sleeve. JT likes working for Brett, but Brett's made it perfectly clear that any relationship between them other than a professional one will never see the light of day.
But when JT's lust turns to love, and he gives in to his desire to find out what makes Brett tick, will his interest push Brett away? Or will he, through his patience and support, be the one who can finally unbreak Brett's heart?
Unbreak My Heart Series
Review: What to do when you feel you allowed a career to overshadow the most important thing in your life, the loving relationship of a partner, a best friend? And what can you do with all the guilt and unbearable sadness when that same person, your reason for living, is taken from you and you weren't there to say goodbye? Unbreak My Heart by K-lee Klein is a quiet and painful study in how to deal with those questions and so many more.
The story is a deceptively simple one. Brett Taylor, a former country music singing star loses his lover of six years suddenly while he is off receiving yet another award. Now, three years later, a virtual hermit and owner of a run down ranch that he has been selling off piece by piece, Brett finds solace in his bottle of whiskey and the fierce gut-wrenching moments when he can anesthetize himself to the point where he can write love letters to his deceased partner, Walt. Occasionally, Brett still puts down lyrics but these are full of tortured memories and raw pleas for forgiveness. Ray Durant, Brett's ranch manager, and Millie, his mother, are the only people who Brett allows into his life now. And so, it is with no surprise at all, when his mother turns up with a slightly battered young man and asks her son to take him in and put him to work.
JT Campbell also has some real sorrows he is trying to escape. In his case, it is the wealthy life he left behind, along with a failed medical degree and the qualifications to be a psychologist. He is trying to escape the stifling judgement of parents who felt he never quite measured up and so he has come to a sleepy small town in the south to find his way. Fresh off a bar room brawl over the fact that he is gay, Millie finds him along side the road and brings him to the ranch. Thus begins a slow and steady dance with one man full of patience and another trying to swim his way to the surface and step out of the pool of grief and guilt that has held him for so very long.
I want to assure you there is a happy ever after to this very long and ofttimes deeply sad story. However, it is the journey to that happiness that is the skin and bones of this novel. Without a doubt, Unbreak My Heart is an in-depth character study of a grieving lover. Even JT seems to be secondary to Brett in this deeply moving saga of one man's fight against himself. Brett cannot let go of his memories, his guilt and his shame, for to release those emotions means that somehow Walt is truly gone and deep in Brett's heart he knows that to acknowledge that truth will kill him in ways the bottle he keeps in his desk drawer cannot touch. Not only has Brett cut himself off from the possibility of ever loving again, he is absolutely positive he does not deserve to feel happiness in any form.
JT slowly but surely begins to sway Brett's thinking. Layer by layer, JT's quiet strength lifts one burden after another from his boss' fragile heart. The slow build in this love story is both delicate and hauntingly sweet. There were moments when my heart just wept for Brett. Author K-lee Klein certainly displayed a deft and talented hand at writing lasting and memorable characters, Brett being a prime example. I was so grateful that there was not this instant turn around in Brett's thinking or quick healing when it came to his deep and abiding grief. Rather, the author allows for a more realistic build of emotions to happen, a tenuous grasp on the idea that happiness can once again be Brett's and the reality that there is enough room in a person's heart for more than one lasting love of a lifetime.
While I enjoyed the speed at which the love aspect of this novel unfolded, I also felt that at times the story itself got bogged down by a constant rehashing of old emotions and feelings. JT continually berates himself for thinking like his rather snobbish and judgmental parents–looking at the surface of a person rather than getting to know them first. I understood that this was something he was trying to change and escape from but I also felt it did not need to continually resurface as a plot point in the novel. After a while, I felt as though it was being thrown in just to keep the relationship from going forward too fast. Overall, JT's self-doubt coupled with Brett's continual self-flagellation over not being present when his lover Walt died seemed to be a bit overworked to me.
This is where the novel stalled for me. While I wanted that gradual build, I felt, at times, that the story ground to a halt and we got mired down in the same reasoning, the same internal arguments that each man dealt with as they danced around each other not admitting their feelings. However, the last third of this novel certainly redeemed any pacing issues the first two thirds experienced. This is when the conflict arose between the two main characters and we held our breath wondering if all was about to be lost. I especially savored the ending of this novel as the humorous side of author K-lee Klein just beamed off the page and had me laughing through real tears of joy over her story's resolution.
Unbreak My Heart was a lovely story of redemption and forgiveness. Author K-Lee Klein digs deep and gives us character that reach beyond the page and into our hearts, lodging themselves there for good. This was a sweet story that sometimes lost its way but stayed steady and sure, ending in a breathtaking moment of fierce joy.

You guys, I have barely been able to get used to it being September already and now September is coming to an end this week?!? What the what?! Wow!
Well, I'll tell you what….at least the time is flying with things happening behind the scenes. ;-) Hint hint; wink wink. You've asked and I'm listening.
Fall is upon us and there's something about this season that truly energizes me - more than in an I'm-shivering-for-the-first-time-in-half-a-year kinda way. I suppose you can liken it the calling of a deep clean that Spring thrusts upon us. Maybe it's my mind's rebellion against the days getting shorter. Or, maybe it's the bubbling of excitement over the holidays coming. I like a good party - can you blame me? These days the onslaught of holidays start with my daughter's birthday next month and will end with my son's birthday in January. Who knows (and who cares) though, right?! When I can reign in the flurry of ideas just a bit, I am super-productive in the Fall. I'm just going with it. (Note: Super-productive IS a relative term with a toddler, baby, new house, clients, etc.)
So….Autumn is here. Bugs will be buggin' off soon and germs will be multiplying in their place. Did you know whether you get sick or not has a lot less to do with what you "catch" and a lot more to do with how strong your immune system is? We're filthy beings…covered in germs all the time despite the best hygiene. Working on your health from the inside out is a great place to begin to ward off many colds/viruses or at least kick them out a day or 2 earlier.
The idea for the immune-boosting latte came to me while I was making my morning cup o' joe one day. I was headed to the gym and wanted a little energy before my workout, but not a full meal. While adding coconut oil to my coffee for a little taste and energy, I couldn't help but think about how this would be a great time to consume some turmeric, as the coconut oil aids in its absorption. So does black pepper. Then I needed something else to help mask that flavor while bringing added health benefits: cinnamon! I used a tad bit of honey to sweeten as an experiment because raw honey is excellent in helping to fight all kinds of microbes. I added my cashew milk as usual. Wouldn't ya know - blended all together it actually tasted GREAT! Not only was the taste on point, but the texture was creamy with a little froth on top. A fancy latte for a fraction of the price, a 20 foot commute to the kitchen, no refined sugar, no gluten, no dairy, no weirdness anywhere in the recipe, and a good deed done for my immune system (you're welcome). Yup!
Here you have it: IMMUNE-BOOSTING LATTE...
To a blender, add:
- 1 cup of coffee
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (I used cashew milk)
- 1 T coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp - 1 T honey or sweetener of choice (depending on taste preference)
- pinch of black pepper
Blend and enjoy the creamy, frothy goodness!
P.S. Use a Tinkerbell mug as pictured to complete the pleasurable experience. ;-)

Oregon 77 - 89 Washington
Dentmon's career-high 24 points too much for OregonJan 26, 2007 - 7:49 AM SEATTLE (Ticker) -- With Oregon's floor general absent, Washington little man Justin Dentmon took control.
Dentmon scored a career-high 24 points as the Huskies snapped a three-game losing streak with an 89-77 victory over the seventh-ranked Ducks, who had a five-game winning streak snapped.
Freshman center Spencer Hawes, who missed Saturday's 75-47 demoralizing defeat at Washington State, scored 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting for Washington (12-7, 2-6 Pac-10), which had dropped six of its last seven games - including five road losses.
"Well, home sweet home. I am proud of our guys for how well they competed tonight," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. "We played a team that was without a guy who at this point may be the league MVP in Aaron Brooks and a warrior in Adam Zahn. Nonetheless, I still think that we put forth the type of effort that wins ballgames tonight.
"It was good to see Justin Dentmon play at such a high level and it was good to see Spencer Hawes back in the lineup as well."
Oregon point guard and catalyst Brooks, who is averaging 18.4 points and has proven to be a clutch performer all season, was serving the final game of a two-game suspension levied by the program due to his actions in a conference tournament game last season against the Huskies. The fiery 5-10 point guard, who also sat out the season opener against Lehigh, elbowed Washington guard Ryan Appleby in the nose during the 84-73 win last March.
With Brooks absent, Dentmon - who had started just one of the last six games due to inconsistent play - shot 8-of-15 from the floor and added six rebounds and seven assists. He did commit six turnovers.
"This week we decided to put Justin Dentmon back in the lineup," Romar said. "He has been steadily coming along and tonight we saw how much progress he has made since his early season slump. You saw him coming up with rebounds and steals and those are the things that you are looking for in Justin Dentmon."
Appleby sank four 3-pointers and scored 16 points and as Washington improved to 8-1 in its last nine home games against ranked teams.
Washington's pressure defense turned 18 turnovers - five more than Oregon's season average - into 25 points, and the Huskies dominated the offensive glass, 10-4. A switch to zone midway through the second half also slowed down the Ducks.
"We played pretty good defense tonight, but there were times when we had lapses," Romar said. "Certain combinations on the floor gave us a high level of intensity, but I thought we came out really sharp on the defensive end.
"I thought that our guys did a good job in the (zone). Oregon had some good looks on the switch and sometime anything goes."
That combination helped prevent the Ducks (18-2, 6-2) from matching their best start in school history. The 1926-27 edition started 24-1 before losing their 26th game.
Bryce Taylor scored 19 points and Chamberlain Oguchi, who started in place of Brooks, added 15 for the Ducks, who lost despite shooting 55 percent (29-of-53).
Washington took the lead for good, 66-65, on a 3-pointer by Hans Gasser with 13 minutes left. A layup by Hawes extended the lead to three. Both hoops came after Romar picked up a technical foul for arguing with the officials.
In the final seven minutes, Appleby hit a 3-pointer and Jon Brockman went 6-of-6 from the line. Brockman finished with 14 points and eight eight rebounds.

At the end of 1988, Forbes Masson and I flew to Sydney, Australia to start rehearsals and in early January 1989 we opened at the Playhouse of the Sydney Opera House in See Victor and Barry and Faint, a version of the show we had performed the previous year at the Edinburgh Festival, on tour in Scotland and at the Donmar Warehouse in London as part for the Perrier Pick of the Fringe season.
After a month in Sydney we toured to Adelaide, Alice Springs, Cairns and Rockhampton.
I remember that the hole in the ozone layer had recently been discovered above Australia and there was a huge PR campaign going on to encourage people to protect themselves from the sun. We were both incredibly pale and people would literally scream 'skin cancer' at us in the street, and ask us what factor we were using.
Here we are in a short clip from a hilarious TV show in Adelaide called A Touch of Elegance, and pieces we did for the ABC news in Sydney the Rockhampton local news show.

What is an FGM Party?
Over recent months BHI has identified a new trend in the practice of FGM abuse in the UK, in which midwives from Africa are being flown into the country to carry out the illegal act of FGM on a number of young girls at a time. Recent NHS figures show more than 8,000 women across England have recently been identified as being victims of FGM, but as communities are becoming more aware of stricter border control policies to prevent young girls from being taken out of the country for FGM, some families are deciding to have their girls cut in the UK. Where a number of girls are cut in one session this can lead to a celebration to commemorate what is seen as a 'coming of age tradition', colloquially known as an 'FGM Party'.
What do we know about FGM Parties?
Heather Nelson, Chief Executive of the Black Health Initiative, said: "We know of parties happening here in England, and in West Yorkshire we recently had to break one up, and we've stopped another from taking place.
"What we're finding now is that where once girls were taken abroad to be cut, specialist midwives are now flown over and several girls are cut at the same time, which then leads to a celebration."
"People will say why don't you call the police if you hear about one of these parties? But when you call the police you find that not every officer has an awareness of what FGM is."
What are we doing to stop FGM Parties?
We are campaigning hard to raise awareness about the prevalence of FGM Parties, working with West Yorkshire Police to identify and prevent this practice. Working closely with community leaders, schools and local healthcare providers we confirm our commitment to connect with communities, breaking down common myths about FGM and raising awareness about the devastating physical and emotional impact of the practice on victims and their families.

Taylor Shaffer, Bon Secours Health System Nurse
At Bon Secours, nurses are not just nurses. They are advocates. They are your friends, neighbors, and relatives. They are dedicated, kind, tender, sincere, and sympathetic. We've highlighted some of our nurses in this series of blog posts, to show that they are #NotJustANurse.
Taylor wanted to "meet a person's needs in a holistic sense: physically and tangibly, but also spiritually and emotionally." Nursing was the profession that would allow her the space to do so. She says that "nurses have the privilege of walking through illnesses, birth, and death amongst many other circumstances" with patients and their families, and she values being a "compassionate advocate and partner" for individuals in those life-altering situations. She came to Bon Secours because nursing is prioritized and is seen as a ministry worthy of focus within our system.
She appreciates how nursing is a trusted profession, and how patients react positively when a nurse walks into the room. Taylor says "It is so rewarding to be the individual who gets to listen to [the patient's] concerns and show them they are loved and cared for" and to be "the hands and feet of Christ in my workplace".
Patients should know that nurses "still have their backs…We chose this because we want to be there with you. We chose this because you are worth it."

The following article reveals a step-by-step guide to making a multi-purpose transformer bracelet that can be used both as a necklace and as an element of interior décor.
Needed materials:
- crinoline mesh tubing of 8 mm in diameter that is a bit longer than the double-length of the bracelet;
- pearls and beads of any size not exceeding the diameter of the mesh tubing;
- 1 clasp and 1 cap of 5-7 mm in diameter;
- 3 jump rings of 5mm in diameter and 2 headpins. The length of one headpin exceeds the size of the central bead by 1 cm, the other headpin is 1.5 cm shorter.
Tools: scissors, round-nose pliers, flat-nose pliers, wire cutters.
Needle and fishing line; 0.2 mm diameter fishing line has been used in this guide. You can take any kind of needle even a sewing one, as long as the fishing line fits through the needle's eye. How to thread a needle with a fishing line.
Lighter to melt the ends of the mesh tubing.
How to make a transformer bracelet
Insert the jump ring in the clasp and thread the mesh through the jump ring. Adjust the clasp right down onto the middle of the mesh tubing.
Pour beads into one end of the mesh tubing filling the half length of the bracelet.
This process involves several stages. Fill a few inches (2-3 cm) of the mesh tubing with beads and compress it like a spring.
Then do the opposite and stretch the mesh tubing slightly.
Repeat this procedure several times (3-4 will be enough) in order to spread the beads/pearls inside the mesh tubing evenly.
It is done! Take the other end and keep the mesh tubing suspended. Now fill it with beads. A tiny funnel can make the task easier.
Remember to compress and stretch the mesh tubing while filling the other end with beads to ensure the beads are distributed evenly. The first end serves as a benchmark.
Having filled the mesh tubing along the entire length, trim off the excess. Squish the end leaving 3-4 mm of extra mesh, then cut.
Still squishing the end of the mesh tubing, singe it right away. Watch your fingers!
The mesh does not blaze up in the split second, but it is quite fusable and lights up in a few seconds. Keep your eyes open! I fuse the mesh in several stages holding it not too close to the fire. Just singe a little, put out the flame and squish the melted edges with your fingers. I kept burning myself at first, but then I got hand of it. If you don't hurry, you won't burn yourself.
Even if you turn the mesh tubing upside down, nothing will pour out.
Take a needle and a fishing line. Start seaming underneath one of the ends, i.e. run the needle through one of the ends on the inside. In order to make the seam tighter I hook on one of the inside beads and run the needle through it.
Not tightening the loop knot completely, run backwards through other mesh holes.
Run the needle through the loop of the fishing line, and then tighten the knot.
Attach the headpin to the fishing line.
Run the needle through the second part of the bracelet.
Stitch the ends in and out, each time inserting the needle into a different mesh hole. I've done this 3-4 times.
Then just wind the fishing line tightly.
Note that it can slip or unwind. So make sure it doesn't come loose. Having wound the fishing line round, sew the ends together.
Tighten the knot and melt.
Put on the cap.
Use flat-nose pliers to fold the pin at a 90-degree angle.
As a rule, the excess of mesh tubing is cut off at 8 mm away from the crease line. However, I attach the clasp to the pin at once, so I cut off a piece that is a bit longer (about 1 cm).
Use round-nose pliers to tighten the ring and remember to attach the other part of the clasp to this ring in the process.
Simple as that! Our bracelet is ready. I hope you'll find this article useful.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A group of United Methodists from throughout Pennsylvania delivered a petition signed by 25,000 Christians across the country, calling on Bishop Peggy Johnson not to put any more pastors on trial over gay weddings.
The petition comes after United Methodist pastor Frank Schaefer was put on trial for officiating at the wedding of his gay son, suspended from ministry, and ordered to obey the church's anti-gay rules or else lose his ordination credentials.
"Being a good Methodist pastor isn't just about following official rules, it's about loving and serving God's people, including those who are gay or lesbian. We're calling on Bishop Johnson to stop putting pastors on trial for doing exactly what Jesus has called them to do," stated Rev. Dr. Karyn L. Wiseman, Associate Professor of Homiletics and Director of United Methodist Studies with the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia.
"The trial of Frank Schaefer was a profoundly unchristian exercise in casting judgement on a man for the crime of loving and supporting his gay son. The United Methodist Church has reached a moment of moral crisis, and I'm praying that Bishop Johnson will act boldly and help us save the church from its own unjust policy," said Richard Kirk, co-chair of Reconciling United Methodists of Eastern Pennsylvania and member of Calvary United Methodist Church in Philadelphia.
Bunnie Bryant, a life-long member of Union United Methodist Church in Havertown stated, "like many who call for the Church to open its doors to everyone, I am frustrated and angry. I know our Bishop has a heart for justice; I know she feels the hurt of the people within her Conference and beyond. Because of that, I ask her to stop the madness in whatever way she can."
While accepting the petitions, Bishop Peggy Johnson stated, "I want to assure you, as your bishop, I tried very, very, very hard to avoid this trial. I used all the means that I had to try to solve it, and I did not prevail. I'm praying we never have to fail again, and we'll try harder, and I hear your voice."
In recent weeks, growing numbers of United Methodist clergy — in Pennsylvania and across the country — have begun publicly disregarding the church's rules prohibiting same-sex weddings. In a show of solidarity with the Rev. Frank Schaefer, some 50 UMC pastors co-officiated at the wedding of two men at Arch Street United Methodist Church in Philadelphia on November 9. And on October 26 in Alabama, Bishop Melvin Talbert officiated at the wedding of two men.
Today's petition was organized by Faithful America, a nationwide online community which works to "reclaim Christianity from the religious right and putting faith into action for social justice."

It would have been good advice for Major General Luo Yuan, one of the most outspoken senior officers of the People's Liberation Army, as he stepped onto the "battleground" of the Chinese internet.
Last Friday, General Luo joined the fray on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, with a salute to his fellow patriots.
"This is a crucial battlefield of opinions! We can no longer be silent, for you either explode in silence, or die in it," he posted. "For our beloved country, beloved party, beloved army, beloved people, we should fight!"
General Luo, a star among the conservative sections of the PLA and a regular commentator on China Central Television's military channel, quickly amassed nearly 250,000 followers.
But he soon found that, unlike on television, his online audience could answer back. Tens of thousands of people started commenting on his tweets, and he quickly came under a barrage of abuse.
When he tweeted that China should fight "traitors" and "corrupt" officials, online sleuths accused him of nepotism; his father was a national intelligence chief and one of his brothers is a general.
Outflanked, General Luo, appears to have tried to even the score by leaving a self-congratulatory comment on one of his posts.
"General Luo Yuan is not only a solder, but a scholar. His analysis on the North Korea nuclear issue is brilliant and his suggestions are very rational. How knowledgeable he is!" said the comment, signed in his own name.
To online guffaws and plenty of scepticism, the comment was deleted by administrators and the general claimed his password had been hacked into.
"If the national security professional cannot even change his password then the people really should be worried," said Kaifu Lee, the former president of Google China, on his own Weibo account.
General Luo was licking his wounds. "I don't want to talk about it," he told Fairfax Media. "I haven't got anything more to say about public opinion."

This question already has an answer here:
I have empirical data that describes a 2-dimensional Probability Density Function and I want to visualize that data in a meaningful way using Mathematica. My first instinct is to use a 2D Heat map style plot, where high probabilities would be shown in red, and low in blue or white. However I am a novice when it comes to Mathematica's visualization power so I would like some community input. Is there a better way to visualize this data?

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the first thing I should do after I decide to take on a paving project and need to look for a paving company?
The first thing should probably be to spend a little time on the computer and check out company websites. You can check Home Advisor to see what people are saying about their experiences with companies you are considering. Home Advisor posts are unedited, so you see the whole review and not just the positive. Check with the Better Business Bureau and see what their grade is. Then, after narrowing the search down to your top choices, get some quotes. After that, ask the companies you feel most comfortable with for some addresses of work they recently completed. And take a little ride for some ice cream.
There are too many unknown factors for us to provide a generic cost, but three factors are typically used to determine a final square-foot cost: How much excavation and base gravel is needed for the job? Is it a two-coat or a single-coat process? All companies have different overhead costs too.
It depends on what time of the year we do the work. In the spring and autumn months, it takes about 4 days. While in the summer, it takes about a week.
You should pave it 3 inches. That's all it needs according to National Code. Having the proper gravel base is as important as the asphalt you apply. The leading cause of most driveways' decline or failure is an inadequate gravel base. In commercial projects, the asphalt thickness will vary depending on the usage.
Unfortunately, because it's true. There are a few out there that take shortcuts and don't stay informed with the industry. And that can be true with all companies who contract with homeowners, not just paving companies. That's why we recommend doing your research and looking at completed work before you sign-on with anyone. And never let another company's negative input become a factor in your decision.
It depends on the soils you are applying the gravel base to. It can be from 4 to 18 inches. Although we will excavate down 3 feet when crossing through wetlands.
Actually, most driveways take two coats. You can get by with a single coat if your driveway is level or near-level and you will not have heavy vehicles using it on a regular basis.
I personally know, as a satisfied customer, your work is top-notch and your prices are competitive. Is it hard to do top-notch work and still offer competitive pricing?
Yes it is! But we have a regimented operation and an outstanding crew. We've had the same crew returning for 8 years now. Half of our crew has been with us since we started in 1999. It is important for the crewmembers to not only know their own responsibilities, but know what everybody's responsibilities are as well. This creates a smooth course throughout the paving process and prevents mistakes before they happen.

"Comedy is about building tension and then releasing it" - that is the main concept behind this short video. Turbulence is meant to add humor to the clean, perfect world of CGI. Someone once said,
Using TurbulenceFD in Cinema 4D I was able to create organic volumes that flowed in tandem with the music. Creating a poetic tone that ultimately ends in humor.

Popsicle Illusion approached me be a part of this super team of animators for Flux Pavilion's latest single. The brief was simple but strong enough to combine everyone's talent into one massive mashup with only one human character at the center. The result was a fantastic color packed journey into the mind of five different artists.

When Polykrome approached me to create a music video for his new release, he was already inspired by one of my previous works and wanted to expand on it, he wanted to elevate it and bring in as many dogs as possible. I was fortunate enough to have his trust and was left to my own creative devices, the result is a slow-mo, neon-packed galore that highlights the subtle movements that are usually missed by us humans, who perceive life in real time and fail to see the beauty that can be found in the energetic movements these animals create.
Cinema 4D, After Effects.
DiscordRecord is a personal project that grew out of the passion I developed for album cover and artworks found in vinyl records. Working for a major label is no easy task, but the internet has allowed for the development of a new wave of musicians online, with very unique sounds that are slowly working their way into the mainstream. Sites like soundcloud and bandcamp, are giving the power back to the artists, the real challenge then is finding the interesting artists and sounds. These are some of the artworks I have developed for some of those musicians.
Cinema 4D, Photoshop.
These animations are an ongoing personal project that I developed as a way to learn software, all the pieces can be found on my blog. The only goal I set myself was to create a looping animation, something that the audience could not tell where it started and where it ended. The more I exploration I did, the more it became a search to create mesmerizing animations that would keep the eyes of the audience attached to the pieces themselves. Some explore optical illusions, but for the most part is simply a creative outlet that allows me to better understand complicated software.

Is a visual representation of what a visual radio would look like. In an era where sound and image are so attached, it seems logical that our radios carry a display and can offer visualizations that represents the music accurately. Most the music in this project shows the personal progression and exploration I have found in electronic music, from abstract sounds to more melodic contemporary genres. While the transitions aim to replicate the scanning process of finding a radio station that's visualized by television noise. Every scene is linked to the audio one way or another, but it is always the audio driving the motion.

WSI and design agency Veryday, helped U.K. company GameFace Labs create this first-of-its-kind product – a wireless VR gaming headset with a built-in computer from NVIDIA®. With its embedded capability, the headset is a great deal more powerful than its mobile competitors. Previously, most virtual reality experiences required the user to sit with a headset strapped to a power outlet and a computer. Since the GameFace headset has eliminated the need to be tethered to an external computer, it's portable and more powerful than other smartphone-based alternatives.
"In my opinion, Virtual Reality got its break in 2012, but the technology used in headsets at the time was focused on tethered PC gaming. We were working closely with NVIDIA® and were aware of how rapidly mobile GPU technology was progressing. We created our HMC prototype to reflect what we believe to be the future of all VR headsets – a locally powered, untethered virtual reality reality experience that is comfortable and completely mobile.
I had been working with NVIDIA® on stereoscopic 3D PC gaming and made contact with WSI a couple of years after when it was time to scale up production. WSI's engineering and design talent made them an obvious choice as design partners, and their global network of manufacturers ensures expertise from conception to mass production. They have the capacity to think and work fast and their ability to solve new engineering problems (including a small, almost noiseless fan in the headset to disperse built-up internal heat) is a constant breath of fresh air. When we needed a new way of securing the headset, they even thought of how the head strap could fit and function for different users.
WSI has amazing developers who keep their promises and support us in everything we do. They can take an idea from the drawing board and put it into production faster than any other company that I've worked with, and their track record in wireless consumer products is truly astonishing. That they were able to incorporate NVIDIA®'s Tegra K1 into GameFace as well as they did is one of the main reasons why WSI are now our number 1 partner in the north. It is because of WSI that I'm confident we'll have GameFace in production by the first or second quarter of 2017."
This is how WSI works with GameFace Labs. Håkan Ohlgren, WSI's CTO and Chief Architect tells us.
What role did WSI play in the project with GameFace?
– We were contacted by GameFace Labs in 2014 to develop a new generation of their VR-headset. Our assignment was to create a complete headset incorporating electronics, Software and mechanics. GameFace Labs created their proprietary home screen and some very specific software, while WSI implemented an Android port for the NVIDIA® HW platform. GameFace Labs also paved our way to NVIDIA®. We based the design on their Tegra K1 which is a very capable Application Processor with superior graphics performance. We partitioned the system so that the heavier batteries are kept in a belt clip device, connected to the VR-headset through a cable. That is the only cable in the system. In order to re-use the legacy user interface of Android, we implemented a capacitive touch pad on one side of the headset. The headset includes Wi-Fi connection (802.11.a/b/g/n) to internet and Bluetooth connection to wireless input devices such as gaming controllers, mice or keyboard. The Wi-Fi connection means that Applications can be downloaded and the FW can be updated wirelessly. GameFace Labs has implemented a novelty way to speed up Application download. It is truly remarkable how fast applications are started upon a download! We implemented 2x2MIMO (antenna diversity) for the Wi-Fi transceiver in order to make fast and robust connection to the network.
How was the collaboration with NVIDIA®?
– We're a relatively small company. Big companies like NVIDIA® normally has no or very limited capacity to manage small customers, due to resource constraints. But NVIDIA® liked GameFace Labs concept and decided to use WSI as a design house, under the agreement that we would get minimal support. We managed to do the design ourselves, with some valuable support from them, which I believe contributed to NVIDIA® wanting to make us an official partner. We showed them what we are capable of. Now they submit clients to WSI, which we are very proud of. The GameFace project was the starting point of our partnership.
How did WSI work internally on the GameFace project?
– It went very smooth. We're a company of team players where everyone pitches in. The collaboration between the project manager, the system architect, the HW and SW designers, PCB layout, Industrial designer and the mechanical designer went truly well. We called in two external Android experts when needed. In addition to our own organization, our extensive network is one of our greatest assets.
What were the greatest challenges?
– Probably the power and heat management. Unlike other VR glasses, everything is built into the headset. The NVIDIA® Tegra K1 is extremely capable and scalable. In the GameFace Labs VR-headset a superior graphical performance is required. But this comes with higher power consumption which consequently generates more heat. We needed to implement an active cooling system in the headset, using a silent fan with a heat pipe that transports the heat out of the headset. This keeps both the electronics as well as the user cool. The latter is important as the battery and power system is capable of many hours constant use, and the overall user experience is extremely important.
In addition to the technology, what are the strengths of this project?
– We persevere together with our clients, even if the financial situation becomes instable. We want to help our clients all the way to the finish line. I think the reason for our success is that we are all team players through and through.
Tegra K1 is built on the same NVIDIA Kepler™ architecture that drives the world's most extreme gaming PCs and the fastest supercomputer in the United States. This is the first-ever console-class mobile technology, giving you full support for PC-class gaming technologies like DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.4, and Tessellation—all in the palm of your hands. Plus, it's the first mobile processor to run Unreal Engine 4, Epic's latest game engine for powering next-gen games.
The innovative new Tegra K1 processor features the same high-performance, power-efficient NVIDIA Kepler™-based GPU that drives the world's most powerful supercomputers and PC gaming systems. This means you can now count on even more unbelievable graphics performance, powerful computing, and truly unique features in every Tegra K1-powered mobile device.
NVIDIA Kepler™ GPU with 192 NVIDIA CUDA® cores – Enjoy an incredible array of mobile innovations in gaming, photography, media, and web with NVIDIA Kepler, the first GPU architecture to span from supercomputers to PCs to mobile devices. It's an unprecedented combination of breathtaking visual performance and breakthrough energy efficiency.
NVIDIA 4-Plus-1™ quad-core ARM® Cortex™-A15 CPU – Tegra K1 harnesses ARM's advanced CPU, Cortex A15, plus a third-generation battery-saver core, to deliver record levels of performance and battery life. This Variable SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) architecture from NVIDIA enables four performance cores to be used for max burst when needed, with each core independently and automatically enabled and disabled based on workload.

As Sound Memories Dementia Friendly Radio moves to Quiet Space Studio with me this week, there are some exciting things in the pipeline.
Since March, I have only been well enough to keep the radio station ticking over but now that my mojo is tip toeing her way back (since my hearing aids) then it feels right to step back into the arena.
I have a number of projects that I have pitched for so watch this space and pray. I've got no core funding for this project and depend totally on contracts and good will, mostly mine! But it feels like such important work.
I particularly want to develop the Environmental Soundscapes which we call Story Sound Maps but are actually Ethnographic Sound Maps as they are tailored to meet the sound backdrop of those living with dementia in our area, and the digital stories are then shared on the radio station for our 500 plus listeners to enjoy. Here's an example from a local farm of 2 very pregnant sows the day before the piglets arrived.
We also want to develop our inter-generational conversations through working in education following the success of our Voices of the Valleys Project earlier this year where I trained children from 7 schools, in the collation of oral histories and making of digital stories with the older community in Rhondda Cynon Taff. Here's an example ...
I will leave you with this thought: Sound is the last memory to leave us. It is an old friend reminding us of who we are.

This post was updated on by
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw a little peek at a party that I threw with my friend Jonie (from Just Between Friends) last week. We decided to beat the winter blues and throw a quick Winter Wonderland themed shindig complete with snowflakes, ice cream, and waffles! That's right… The main items on the menu were waffles and ice cream. I decided to stick with chocolate and cinnamon waffles, which ended up a big success with the fun flavors of Tillamook Ice Cream we picked up!
So today I'm sharing a closely guarded secret with all of you (not really but I like to pretend)! My cinnamon waffles which are crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and have a nice subtle cinnamon kick!
These are also great with some chopped banana's or chocolate chips thrown right into the batter. Or you could slice a few strawberries and pair it with fresh whipped cream. OR if you are like me and really enjoy the classics stick with simple syrup. Oh, and LOTS of butter.
HOW TO FREEZE: Layer your waffles on a cookie sheet right after baking. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes (this keeps them from sticking together). Pull them out and toss them into a freezer storage bag. When you are ready to reheat… place them back onto a cookie sheet and under the broiler for a few minutes.
Cinnamon Waffles
- 2 eggs divided
- 1-3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat your waffle iron. Beat the egg whites until peaks form and set aside.
Stir together the milk, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla. Set aside.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix in the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the egg whites.
Pour mix into your waffle iron and cook until golden brown.

I love being a wedding photographer in Devon, there are so many beautiful wedding venues, but I love pre wedding shoots and engagement sessions even more. I think they are SO IMPORTANT for couples to consider as part of their wedding package and here's why….
4. You can talk about your wedding in detail
I can get to know the couple but we also get lots of time to talk about the wedding in detail. I can find out about the timings of the day, venue details, favourite locations, group photo ideas; all the elements that are most important to each couple. Every couple is so different so I ask each couple to fill out a wedding photography questionnaire, which helps me to find out what is most important to them on their wedding day. I also like to know what the wedding photos are going to be used for after the wedding, this really helps with my planning for the wedding day. I create a bespoke plan for each couple and work from this on the day to ensure I have every important detail captured.
5. You are more relaxed on your wedding day
As a result, the couple's wedding day photographs will be even more amazing, because they will know exactly what to expect from their wedding photographer and will feel entirely comfortable with what's happening on the wedding day.
Thank you for reading part 1 of our 'pre wedding shoot' blog series, next time we will taking about how to choose your location for a pre wedding shoot.
If you are getting married in Devon, Cornwall, Bristol, Somerset or London and would like a pre wedding shoot please get in contact with me with details of your engagement shoot idea. I love photographing couples in beautiful natural environments – beaches, Dartmoor, woodlands and I love a creative city pre wedding shoot too I cannot wait to hear from you!

He gets right to the point in his fifteen scenes for Brazzers as well. You can see this mocha porn star worshiping fine asses, like that of PAWG honey Bobbi Starr, on our specialty website Butts and Blacks. Whenever Julius gets paired with hotties like her who can deepthroat his entire cock, it makes for truly unforgettable scenes. Since starting out in 2005, he's stretched pussies in more than 350 scenes. Ceazher explains that it's the quality of the actresses that keeps him coming back to Brazzers to conquer cunts like those of Charley Chase, Ricki White, and Bree Olson. We couldn't agree more when he says, "Small waist with a big behind... love it when they're built like that."

Telemedicine is a powerful tool that enables patients to consult health-care professionals through two-way videoconferencing. Its purpose is to bring more patients the care they need, where and when they need it.
In 2011, in an effort to improve access to health services, 15 nurses were hired across the Champlain region to assist and support patients and health consultants to use this technology. South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre is an agency for patients and consultants to access OTN services with nursing support. We are also the coordinating agency for Ottawa CHC's to support the development of OTN programs and services.
Four clinical areas of priority have been chosen: addictions and mental health; complex health conditions; diabetes; and pre- and post-surgery assessments. The program, overseen by the Regional Telemedicine Coordinating Committee, with the Champlain LHIN also aims to lower wait times and improve access to specialist appointments, as well as reduce barriers for patients.
For more information contact: Dominique Masse at 613-737-7195 ext. 2416 or Christian Porciuncula at 613-737-7195 ext. 2353
Consultants' offices, please call 613-737-7195, Ext. 2353 or email email@example.com with any appointment requests.

2018 Mazda3 Savannah GA
The 2018 Mazda3 — offered in a four-door sedan and five-door hatchback — is an outstanding choice for Savannah-area compact car shoppers. It has an eye-catching, sporty design, boasts excellent driving dynamics with its high-tech SKYACTIV®-G engine options and G-Vectoring Control system, provides premium comfort with its refined and feature-rich interior and delivers high-level safety with its multitude of advanced safety features. Come drive the 2018 Mazda3 at Fairway Mazda, where you can count on an exceptional customer service experience!
The Mazda3 stands out from its compact car competitors with its sporty look. Mazda utilized their vaunted "Kodo Design" philosophy, with clean contours that make it look like the vehicle is moving — even when it's parked. The Mazda3 also offers many striking color options, including the Machine Gray Metallic exterior paint for a premium appearance. Mazda infused the interior of the Mazda3 with high-quality materials and a meticulous attention to detail, while the wrap-around instrument panel and gear selector places the focus on driving. Also, for a comfortable ride, the Mazda3 comes standard with sport seats that conform nicely to your body.
Fun-to-Drive Nature of 2018 Mazda3 near Hilton Head SC
Whether you're driving on the streets of Savannah or taking a leisurely trip along the coast, the Mazda3 is sure to deliver an exhilarating driving experience. The base engine in Mazda3 is the 2.0-liter four-cylinder, SKYACTIV®-G, which produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. If you desire more power, you can get the available 2.5-liter four-cylinder SKYACTIV®-G, which generates 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. With both engines, you have a choice of the SKYACTIV®-MT 6-speed manual or SKYACTIV®-DRIVE 6-speed automatic transmission. Also, the handling-enhancing G-Vectoring Control will make you look forward to any curvy road that you encounter.
Another strength of the 2018 Mazda3 is its accident prevention and protection capabilities. It carries over all of the features that made the previous model-year Mazda3 an IIHS Top Safety Pick+, while adding standard Smart City Brake Support, which automatically applies the brakes when a potential collision arises at low speeds. The Mazda3 also offers the available Blind Spot Monitoring, which alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot, as well as Lane-Keep Assist, which helps keep you from meandering outside of your lane.
