The Funky Fashion Fling
On Monday 30th January, family and friends of the members of IWA's Knockmitten Youth Cafė, gathered together in the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel to see the young people strut their stuff on the runway as they took part in the Funky Fashion Fling.
The Youth Cafė in Knockmitten, Clondalkin is for young people with and without disabilities from 13 to 21 years old. The Funky Fashion Fling was the latest project for members of the club. Their friends in the Bray Youth Cafė had so much fun organising and presenting last year's 'Wheely Cool Fashion Show' that they decided to follow suit and organise one of their own.
The planning stage began in late 2016; they needed a venue, clothes, a running order for the show, raffle prizes, an MC...so much to do! The Louis Fitzgerald Hotel was sourced as the ideal venue for the show and there was great delight when they confirmed their availability for the night. Next the gang headed to Liffey Valley Shopping Centre to ask local retailers for support. Moss Bros, Aeropostale and Vila were very happy to supply them with clothes for the show whilst many other shops in Liffey Valley offered their support by way of prizes to be raffled on the night. All funds raised on the raffle would go towards covering the cost of the fashion show.
Then it was onto a running order for the show. The cafė members decided on the rounds they would have like a mask round, a casual wear round and a sleep wear round but they also wanted to bring something a little different to their show; something that combined fashion and disability. This is where Izzy Wheels came in.
Izzy Wheels is a company which manufactures a range of personalised spoke guards for wheelchairs. It's run by Ailbhe Keane and inspired by her sister Izzy who is a wheelchair user. Ailbhe and Izzy have always had a passion for fashion. Ailbhe who studies design wanted her sister to have a way to coordinate her chair with her clothes and so she began designing personalised spoke guards for wheelchairs. Ailbhe was contacted about the Funky Fashion Fling and agreed to come on board for the evening. Ailbhe, along with a number of other designers and illustrators, even created a special collection – The Roll Models collection – of wheel artwork to be launched on the night.
When the night finally arrived, the nervous but excited models had one final meeting before the doors opened and the crowd streamed in. Families chatted to each other while they waited to see their loved ones 'do their thang!' The show kicked off at 8p.m. with the mask round – Ant + Dec, Sir Alan Sugar and Tommy Cooper were just some of the celebrities walking down the red carpet. Guiding us through the show were MC's Lia and Dave Barry (Youth Worker). This was followed by the sleepwear round, which finished with the young people bashing a sleeping Dave with pillows! Then we had the casual round, the formal wear round and the sportswear round. Throughout the show, the crowd were on their feet dancing along to the music and cheering as their loved ones took to the red carpet. There were plenty of cameras flashing in our models eyes, giving them the real model experience. Between each round, lots of prizes were raffled off.
The final round of the night was dedicated to the unveiling of Izzy Wheels 'Roll Models' collection. Nine new and special designs were unveiled with the help of all the guys who are manual wheelchair users. There were lots of 'oohs' and 'aahs' as the models wheeled by.
When the show was over we were treated to lovely finger food prepared by the staff of the Louis Fitzgerald and the tunes continued as everyone relaxed and chilled out after the hectic preparation for the show.
An enjoyable experience for all!

I've discovered my new favorite dinner.
It's quick.
It's easy.
It contains green veggies…
and the combination of flavors made me wacko. In that it was so awesome, I could have eaten five plates full…
Local, organic pork sausage of the spicy Italian variety, over dinosaur kale sautéed with red onion and half a sweet potato on the side. This dish was a play on the traditional sausage, peppers and onions. The kale added some more substance (and I didn't have any peppers).
I cooked the onions in bacon fat until they were translucent and then added the kale, seasoned with garlic powder, and red pepper flakes and cooked until the kale was wilted.
I baked the sausages at 400 F for 30 minutes, flipping them half way through.
SO easy. SO delicious…this might become a weekly staple. Just saying.
What's your most recent favorite food combination? Feel free to share in the comments below!

These clips come in two different sizes, large which are 12cms (£8) and small 8cms (£7) and are ideal for anyone wanting to fingerwave. I loved learning how to fingerwave in college when studying for my NVQ Hairdressing levels, but admit it can be fiddly - these really help to hold the hair in place to set.
There will be a new tutorial for this look, and another on my YouTube channel this month, so if you have any questions regarding the style or want any advice, let me know below and I'll answer them.

Directed polymers in a random environment: path localization and strong disorder
Francis Comets, Tokuzo Shiga, and Nobuo Yoshida
We consider directed polymers in a random environment. Under some mild assumptions on the environment, we prove equivalence between the decay rate of the partition function and some natural localization properties of the path; some quantitative estimates of the decay of the partition function in one or two dimensions, or at sufficiently low temperature; and the existence of quenched free energy. In particular, we generalize to general environments the results recently obtained by Carmona and Hu for a Gaussian environment. Our approach is based on martingale decomposition and martingale analysis. It leads to a natural, asymptotic relation between the partition function, and the probability that two polymers in the same environment, but otherwise independent, end up at the same point.

Regular readers will know only too well that I have been looking afresh recently at the life and writings of Spurgeon, in preparation for a planned documentary for which a team of my friends are currently seeking crowd-sourced funding. Reading Spurgeon afresh, it has struck me again just how much he has to teach us. God seems to have uniquely gifted him with great insight into a broad range of subjects, as I am sure you have already seen in the quotes I have shared over on Desiring God about responding to culture and faithfully pursuing fruitfulness.
One of my motivations in studying Spurgeon is of course to look for any keys to his remarkable success. Of course, none of us can ever expect to be the next Spurgeon (there will only ever be one of him!). But, what lessons did he learn that he himself associated with the remarkable success that God sovereignly granted him? You might be surprised that probably his most common answer to that question was simply prayer. Not just his own prayers, but the prayers of his church. Before looking for new-fangled methods, Spurgeon would urge us to learn to pursue God in prayer that great blessing would be granted:

Minnie Driver was baffled by rumours which suggested Colin Farrell fathered her son, but she found the gossip "very funny".
The Good Will Hunting star gave birth to little Henry Story Driver in 2008 and she refused to come clean about the identity of the baby's dad.
Driver finally revealed last month (Feb12) that Henry's father is a TV writer, who is gradually stepping up his responsibilities as a new parent, and the 42-year-old actress admits she had a laugh about all the speculation.
She tells U.K. talk show host Alan Titchmarsh, "It wasn't really anyone's business in the first place. Everybody has their personal life and their story behind certain things and those were my choices.
"Rather a lot was made of it, which I was quite surprised by - I think everyone thought it would be someone fantastically famous, who the dad was.
"It was a bit of an anti-climax...I did disappoint people by it just being a normal bloke.
"Frankly I don't think people are that interested because he's not Colin Farrell, who I think a lot of people thought the dad was for a while, which was very funny to me".

Recital Honors Slain Dance Teacher
More than 100 dancers paid tribute to Jean Eskridge, 94, who was murdered in her home on May 1
A special dance recital on Saturday honored the memory of a beloved retired dance teacher who was murdered last month.
Jean Eskridge, 94, was bludgeoned to death by alleged suspect Gary Thomas, 63, in her mobile home in Ramona on May 1.
Eskridge owned Jean's Dance Studio on Via Orange Way in Spring Valley.
Even at age 94, friends said Eskridge loved to dance, especially at community dances in her neighborhood.
On Saturday Eskridge's daughter, Suzanne Mollenhauer, helped organize a special dance recital at La Presa Middle School on Leland Street as a tribute to her mother.
"[She] was the most upbeat, positive person you've ever met in your life," Mollenhauer said of her mother. "She danced in every recital that's ever been put on."
The recital was held from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at 1001 Leland Street in Spring Valley and featured performances by approximately 115 dance students from Jean's Dance Studio.
A family friend told NBC 7 San Diego the recital would highlight various forms of dance including jazz, tap, ballroom and lyrical.
A very special dance performance even included Eskridge's grandchildren and great-grandchildren paying tribute to her.
A memorial fund has been set up in Eskridge's name to the Ramona Senior Center on 434 Aqua Lane, as that is the place where Eskridge enjoyed dancing with friends in her later years. Donation details can found on the Jean's Dance Studio website.

Pattern Play: Lessons in Scheming the Perfect Mix on the Window
Nothing creates impact on a window like pattern, but it can also create some nervous moments in the life of a design professional. When designing your projects, being able to apply a few guidelines and having an understanding of pattern and print can result in much success. We'll explore pattern- from styles, motifs and layouts to placement, repeats and schemes- that you can use as a jumpstart for your custom client presentations. Besides the basics, we'll demo interesting and innovative ways to rock your schemes followed by a hands-on pattern lab session that will start you on your way to becoming a pattern mix master.
Put Your Wanderlust to Work at the Window
Inspiration come in many forms; for me it's always centered around my fascination with what's around the corner. The all NEW window designs in my signature showcase, demonstrate how I connect the dots between history and modernism, between cultures and creativity in a showcase developed to help you build your own couture-level portfolio. Filled with the finely crafted processes, fresh techniques and unique designs I am famous for—a must-see for designers and workrooms.
It's Personal: Secrets of the Bespoke Window
Some window treatments are truly ideal, you connect with them so strongly they become Bespoke—your personal perfect fit. I'll pull back the curtain to unveil the secrets of the bespoke window with this seminar. I'll inspire you to flex your design muscle with a in-depth examination of the tips and the secrets of impeccably tailored treatments that can't be satisfied through custom. You'll gain a wealth of couture knowledge from a mix of hands-on samples and images. Enrich your portfolio with techniques, artistry and details to offer your clients a truly bespoke window fashions. It's more than custom; it's personal.

Auntie Emilie, Listener from US
Anty Emilie whose photos I sent you is the constant listener of RVA Myanmar Service. She phoned me about 5 times already that she appreciates RVA Myanmar Service Programs. She is of Chin tribe. She is the mother in law of Thwa Aung, who was a Burmese stereo songs composer. Previously she had to listen only the other denomination channels and now it is really pleasing to her to listen RVAMM Service. She is also telling other people whom she meets about this. Yesterday I need to tell her about the change of the former App to the New App because she did not catch the programs with the former App anymore.
(Sent by Fr.Saw Hubert, coordinator of Karen service who met with listener of Myanmar-RVA, Aunty Emilie,US)
Sent by Archbishop Charles Bo
Dear Paulinus,
Thanks for your attention.
I shall try to prepare a homily for Parents' Day. Yes there are difficulties I guess and hope to have solutions. When I was in UK, people told me that they appreciate the Burmese Programs and they could listen to RVA any time free. Congrats. PPG
Sent by Fr.Noel, Project coordinator of Archdiocese of Yangon
Dear Fr. Kayin Gyi,
I thank you and your collaborators for your effort and sacrifices. What a blessing that RVA Karen Service has completed 32 years already. Many people are blessed by this program. When I visited my village in last week, I was surprised to know some of my villagers listen RVA Karen and RVA Myanmar. They told me about my homily on Ash Wednesday. I want to encourage you and all the donors that your efforts and sacrifices are not wasted. Many people in villages and faraway places are benefiting from your programs.
Happy 32nd Anniversary! Thank you.
Fr. Noel
May Archbishop, sisters and all the staff from RVA Center be in good health.
My favorite programs are Youth Dramas and Rural Area Development Dramas and I never miss to listen to them. I hope that the Youth Program by the title "Lets cook and eat together happily" presented by Sr. Denis on 17th June, 2010 will be a great beneficial to youth. In that program, Sister said that it is not good to waste the precious time by sitting idly and talking nonsense at tea-shops for many hours. It encourages a lot of youth to reflect on themselves especially those who are doing exactly what Sister said.
"By gathering together at one of friends' home and cooking and eating together, we came to be more friendly, even though we are not from the same family, we can come to live and have affection like those family members, and we can come to know more about cooking also" these are just some of the things which I learned from that program and for that I am really grateful to Sister.
I encourage and wish that in the future you may also give us such beneficial programs.
May God bless you all. Expecting for your reply,
RVA'S Faithful Listener,
Myoe Htat Zaw (Yangon)
He is one of the disable bed-ridden listeners.
Dear Sister,
I am really happy to receive your reply letter. I am deeply pleased because of your warmly acceptance. I consider myself as one of the RVA Family. I confidently consider myself like that since you always replied to me in spite of your tight schedules. Since RVA's each and every program is essentially needed, if I had to express the goodness and benefits of each program, there would be no enough papers to write down but still there would remain many benefits to be expressed. Only when I have a chance to meet you personally, I will witness everything. Since my childhood I love RVA, but only in 1994, I came to contact with RVA. Whenever I go, I bring along with me a pocket-size radio not to miss the one which has been giving light to me. Radio is my real benefactor. On my part, I have to invest only two batteries at the price of 200 Kyats (US $ 0.25 cents) but what I get back is beyond measures. Since I have volunteered myself as a catechist and teacher, RVA is my teacher as I tour the villages. I impart knowledge to them which I gained from listening to the radio. So, RVA with various programs is essential to my Roman Catholic faiths. In addition to these, I love RVA for facilitating me to get many friends through Pen_ Pal program on Thursdays. I would like to say again "RVA is essential short-wave radio station" and best wishes,
Elizabeth Nan Tu,
Kayah State.
DATED: 15th OCTOBER, 2010
Dear RVA,
I am a sergeant of government army and I have been assigned here in KHAN DI (SAGAING DIVISION) for twenty two years. Since I am a solider it is very difficult to attend Mass regularly, and I have a very backward orientation in religious knowledge. Therefore, I bought a radio set and have been listening to RVA since twenty years ago. I heard on radio that we can buy aired radio programs on CDs especially on Religious Q and A at Center in Mandalay, I would like to buy some and therefore I send this letter to order them.
With prayers for the success of the mission,
Sergeant Khi Khui Ohn,
Khan Di ( Sagaing Division).
To RVA MYANMAR SERVICE,
I, a listener from a remote village, pray for the priest and all the staff who proclaim the love of Jesus Christ to all the peoples of Burma all the time on every season, to every part of the country without barriers or boundaries. I am from Chin tribes who live on mountainous part of Burma and I am not well versed in Burmese but I have been listening to RVA Myanmar programs since 1985 and this is the first time to write a letter to RVA. Even that happened since I met a person who was going down to Mandalay unexpectedly by the grace of God.
My parents were animists but by the grace of God, from the GA LUN village which has 80 houses with 700 populations, everyone came to be baptized into the Catholic Church.
By this letter may I witness that we have received great gifts from the Lord,
c/o ST COLUMBAN CHURCH, ZI PHYU KONE QUARTER,

Mine is simpler, but I think it turned out cute. Played with Mom (a formidable opponent) and we both thought it was challenging! ;)
You'll need 8 different fabrics. I chose colors, but these could be animal prints, cars & trucks...anything! You'll also need felt, we used heavyweight wool felt but craft felt would work. We used iron-on interfacing to stiffen the fabrics before sewing to the felt backing.
- Cut two 2.5" squares from each of the fabrics
- Cut 16 2.5" squares of interfacing
- Cut 16 3.5" squares of felt backing
- Iron the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric squares
- Pin the stiffened fabric squares to the center of the felt squares and stitch around the edge
- Iron each square
- Cut the felt down to the finished 3" size
I didn't start with 3.5" felt squares, so mine couldn't be trimmed much and look a bit warped. I'd also try using a double-sided iron-on product next time so that the stitching could be purely decorative (or even skipped).
I think I'll make a little drawstring bag to keep these in and this will be a sweet little present!

September is slipping through my fingers faster than I even know how to account for. The first full month of my married life has passed, my favourite season has officially started, and as much as I hate the cooler weather there are some awesome benefits. Somehow my bank account isn't keeping up with projected numbers, but certain planned expenses had to occur earlier than anticipated.
Fall life has been busy. There's been work, and so many errands, Bunny leaving for his first camping trip as a married man. The quilting project is slowly starting to take shape, as is my newest cross stitch. I'm half way through a big, complicated mess of beautiful novel that I'm not even sure how I'm going to review. (So far: sci fi, a WOW ripoff, a team of hackers, Russian mobsters and a terrorist organization have all played major roles. And we're not even at the halfway point.) Unfortunately one thing that's fallen a little to the wayside is this blog: usually I have a week's worth of posts scheduled in advance, to be supplemented by whatever ramblings I feel the need to share with the universe. I have some more meaty ones planned for the near future, but finding the time to sit down and actually write them has been hard.
I'm starting to drag out my tights from the basement to pair with the pile of dresses that I can't wait to transition to fall. Because the heat is so fleeting I appreciate every drop of sunshine all the more.
In that past couple of days my KitchenAid has started to beckon from the kitchen counter. The heat has dropped to the point where turning on the oven seems like a good idea, as I proved the other night when I broke out home made macaroni and cheese for the first time in almost six months. I`m looking forward to a winter filled with soups and roasts and big beautiful baked dishes.
What`s your favourite part of fall?


text:
Whether you're dealing with the rat race of a commute into work or you're stuck at home with a screaming toddler who's having a melt-down about the wrong type of cheese in a sandwich, life can seem like a constant re-run with a dire outlook if there's no break from the routine.
It could just be the endless winter days, but just lately I feel like I've been living a constant re-run of Groundhog Day. By day I'm doing my best to occupy my two toddlers and stop them from fighting over the most ridiculous things (like who should get out of the bath first), whilst trying my best to fit in work, cooking and the general mundane chores during nap time and the evenings.
The Break
Then last week there was a sudden break in the pattern. Three things broke up my drudgery!
- I was invited out to dinner on a Monday no less by some other mums I know. It was only a cheap and cheerful dinner, but it was good to get out of the house without kids and talk to some other adults.
- My husband has recently re-joined a gym. And for a trial period, I have been granted a 3 month pass to use the facilities. I'm not really a gym person, but there is a fantastic swimming pool. So on Thursday I took myself off for an evening swim. It was virtually empty, the lighting was low and for half an hour, I completely lost myself swimming my way up and down that pool. It was heaven not only to be finally doing some form of exercise again, but to be on my own, lost in my own thoughts.
- At the weekend we visited the in-laws. My sister-in-law insisted on taking me to the local pub for some pre-dinner drinks leaving the men and grandparents to deal with the troublesome bath and bedtime. It felt naughty to be sneaking out the front door at 6pm to go the pub but why not?! We had a much needed catch up which we never seem to do when running around trying to sort out the kids.
So 3 things in the space of one week broke up my pattern of drudgery. Plus, it's the end of February and I can see a glimpse of spring on the horizon. Things are looking up.
Crush the Routine
The point is everyone needs a break from the norm of some sort. Whether it's going for a long walk, getting your hair cut or going out for lunch, everyone needs time for themselves to re-charge and re-focus.
I can remember one of my old bosses at work telling us that it was important to break the routine in order to keep the brain ticking over. He used to take a different route into work several times a week. I can see his point. With no break from the drudgery, life can threaten to become all-consuming and you can even begin to resent it.
I don't know if my gym pass will last longer than 3 moths, but whilst I have it, I intend to swim at least one evening a week in that lovely pool and make sure I get some more time to myself.
What about you? Do you think it's important to make time for yourself? How do you do it? I'd love to hear your thoughts.


text: MNRoadMaster 10 Posted April 18, 2011 I agree on putting the engine in First. Be Careful lining up engine and tranny. I had a disaster when the oil slinger came loose amd got caught in between the engine and tranny - do not pass go do not collect and it cost me a tranny too. On the next round I replaced both together just to be positive. Change the shaft seal! If you do the tranny replace the front and if possible rear bearings I'm told they are available at bearing places. Take lots of pics and label Everything. Keep organized! I found that MAP gas and [ower blaster works good with tightening by jarring first. Any news on ways to brace the back wheel wells? It's true they are not real strong and I have not figured out how to do it.Is there a picture of the whole car?Midwest Fabrics has the cardboard material for the panels. I made my own and used older Ford fasteners to affix them to the door. It worked great.Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conventional switches that are installed at home, able to enable and disable the lighting from one location. Agree that chandelier, which is in the bedroom, you can turn on only the switch that is there.
But what to do if you want the need to control one lamp from different rooms at the same time. Using conventional switches of such a scheme is difficult to collect. Get help from a passing switches or as they are called switches. Such switches are used for control the lamps independently from multiple locations. The proposed scheme is not only very comfortable but allows quite a considerable energy savings.
Typical situation. In your home there is a hallway, at the entrance you turn on the light, then go into the next room, turn the lights on in it, and delete all unnecessary lighting in the hallway shut off the flow switch. Agree – very convenient. Eliminates extra visits and saves electricity.
Another example. You come into the bedroom and at the door turn on the light. Lying in bed, include a table lamp or wall lamp to read a book before bedtime, but now you need to get back, to go to the door and turn off the chandelier! And can we not do that, if you have pre-set bedside lock switch.
How to wire two way light switch
To connect the pass switch is not much different from connecting a regular switch. The only difference is in the number of contact terminals and field wiring. The pass switch.
Please note in advance that from the junction box to this switch you need to stretch a three-core wire. The scheme uses two flow switch and junction box, which wound up the wires from the controlled lamp and three-wire input from switches. Phase wire from terminal boxes connected to the common input contact of the first pass switch. The other two (weekend) contact are connected with the wires coming from the similar contacts of the second switch. And the total (input) pin of the second switch connects to the wire coming from the lamp.
The second wire from the lamp is directly connected to the zero terminal boxes. Section three-core wire fed-through switches should be selected in accordance with the power of the controlled lamp.
How to wire a three way light switch
In certain cases, there is a need to provide not two, but more control lamps. For example, the light on the stairs of a multistory building should be switched on and off on each floor. The same situation with a long corridor into which the doors of several rooms.
To implement such a scheme, but will need in addition to simple pass-through switch and a crossover switch. In such switches is not three but four contacts – two input and two output, representing the two pairs of switched contacts. Accordingly and to connect such switches have the four-wire line.
In this scheme, the control condition used normal switches on the first and last paragraph lighting control and cross – over everyone else. The number of control points is not limited, only increases the complexity of switching in the junction box due to the large number of input wires to it. And here not to do without proper marking of the wires during their laying, otherwise you just get confused.
How to wire a single pole light switch
This is the most simple wiring diagram of the switch. I don't think she will cause You trouble, because the switch is only 2 wires. Phase is connected in the junction box with the wire that goes to the switch. From the switch the wire goes back in the switch box, where it connects with the wire leading to the load. This is the phase switched on the lamp.
Attention!!! The switch should always break it phase rather than zero.
All this is necessary for the sake of our safety. When replacing the lamp, it will be enough to turn off the switch, and in the cartridge there won't be tension. Change in peace. If confused, and switch to commuting zero, then when replacing the lamp, it is in any case will remain energized. And it is very dangerous.
How to wire a switch to a light
Today one of the most common types of connection wires and cables, self-clamping connection. Its main advantage is simplicity, convenience and speed of installation. And does not require special skills and tools.
Some terminals have a special contact paste, which prevents oxidation of aluminum conductors. Use these terminals to connect conductors made of different materials, for example, copper and aluminum.
P. S. All wires connections and cables should be taken seriously, because on it depends the entire wiring of Your apartment, house or object.

Buildings with a poorly ventilated subfloor can provide the perfect environment for termites and health problems.
Many problems in the area of pest control are moisture related - wood decay, termites, rats and cockroaches all thrive on high levels of moisture in their environment.
Dampness can be caused by plumbing leaks, poor air flow under a building, external ground too high or inadequate drainage.
Fungal decay happens when the spores of fungus can germinate on wood surfaces where moisture level is high.
*Brown rot fungi will leave wood darker in colour and cracked, across the grain producing large cubes of wood.
*White rot fungi leaves exposed surfaces looking fibrous.
*Timber in service can decay if moisture levels are above 20%
Why does Austrapest report on fungal decay in our comprehensive visual pest reports?
Fungal decay can do considerable damage to timbers in a building structure.
Austrapest's report follows the existing Timber Pest Inspection Code of Practice and the Australian Standard which requires us to report on fungal decay and areas conducive to timber pest activity.
Mould fungi is the cause of allergens in humans but the activity on timbers is only superficial and they do not decay wood – the significance of mould fungi is that it indicates a moisture problem.
Mildew and non wood decay fungi is commonly known as mould and is not considered a Timber Pest.
However mould and their spores may cause health problems or allergic reactions such as asthma and dermatitis in some people.
The quality of air under a house can impact on the health of the occupants causing household allergies and respiratory problems. It can also affect timber pest activity including in your house including termites, borers and fungal decay.
There are a wide range of brass mesh ventilators available on the market which can be installed in lower external foundation walls to allow better air flow under a building. Austrapest can supply and install Aleta brass mesh ventilators of various sizes and colour to fit most locations.
Austrapest can also supply and install a wide range of 12/ 24 volts electric fans such as the Edmonds Eco fans or the Envirofans to suit most locations. Eco fans are highly efficient, quiet, cheap (at $10 per year to run), extract stale air from the subfloor and replace it with clean, fresh external air from the exterior.Edmonds Eco fans allow 280 000 litres per year of stale air to be drawn out from the subfloor.
Note: It is always advisable to improve subfloor ventilation well prior to redecorating, as better air flow under the building may cause drying and shrinking in skirting boards and architraves.
Austrapest is the Pest Management and subfloor ventilation company of choice for home owners in Concord, Balmain, the Inner West, North Shore, Gladesville, Hills District and in fact we are recommended to customers throughout the Sydney metropolitan region. We offer excellent quality service and support, are committed to customer service and have competitive prices for this level of service in the industry. Austrapest and Kevmac together have been established in the Sydney Metropolitan since 1949 (over 60 years of excellence in Pest Management).

How can you tell if political leaders are serious about decarbonization? If you see policy discussions like this:
"UK energy policy today seeks to deliver solutions to the so-called energy 'trilemma' — the need for a system that is secure and affordable as well as low carbon… One thing remains certain — the scale of the engineering challenge remains massive and the need for whole-systems thinking remains critical… all the easiest actions have already been taken"
The captioned report was submitted October 2015 by the UK Royal Academy of Engineering: "A critical time for UK energy policy", subtitled "what must be done now to deliver the UK's future energy system". I can't comment on the extent to which this message was digested by the UK leadership. But I take the fact of the commissioning and publication of the report as a positive sign. I've seen nothing approaching this quality from any other government (if I could read Mandarin perhaps I would have seen such discussions in China).
Reading this report made me simultaneously hopeful and depressed. Hopeful because there is such clear thinking going on in the UK. Depressed because this is so extraordinarily rare. Instead I typically see intense media coverage of the latest ramblings of professor 100% Mark Z. Jacobson, nicely deconstructed by Blair here. Let's close on the optimistic view that in Berlin, Paris and Washington there are intense daily conversations that sound like this fragment from the Executive Summary (red = my emphasis):
The following actions by government are needed as a matter of urgency:
- Undertake local or regional whole-system, large-scale pilot projects to establish real-world examples of how the future system will work. These must move beyond current single technology demonstrations and incorporate all aspects of the energy system along with consumer behaviour and nancial mechanisms.
- Drive forward new capacity in the three main low carbon electricity generating technologies — nuclear, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and o shore wind.
- Develop policies to accelerate demand reduction, especially in the domestic heat sector, and the introduction of 'smarter' demand management1.
- Clarify and stabilise market mechanisms and incentives in order to give industry the con dence to invest.
In undertaking these actions, government must build on partnerships with all industry stakeholders and communicate clearly and honestly with the public the likely consequences of the necessary evolution of the energy system. Each of these points is expanded on below.
It is also worth noting that, in developing energy policy, the whole system must always be considered. Electricity, heat and transport, although quite different in their characteristics, are all part of the UK's energy system and are equally important, with complex interactions between them: targets will only be met by addressing all aspects of the system.

Planetary Mixers Information
Planetary mixers have set of rotating blades that sweep off-axis to the drive motor within a tank. One blade scours the surface of the tank while the other disperses the mixture. Most planetary mixers have two mixing blades that rotate around individual shafts and, further, a center axis. The net effect is intermixing, stirring, and shear. In terms of applications, planetary mixers are used to process adhesives, chemicals, construction materials, cosmetics, food and beverages, ore and minerals, paints and coatings, pulp and paper, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater.
Planetary mixers differ in terms of operating configuration. Devices are designed for industrial or laboratory use, and there a variety of choices for mounting style. Planetary mixers have batch or continuous-process modes. Batch mixing is the simplest mode of operation. The planetary mixer is filled with a medium and mixing is allowed to proceed. When the mixing has finished, the contents are emptied for downstream processing. The mixer is then cleaned and refilled, and mixing begins again. With continuous-feed planetary mixers, the sample being mixed is continuously added and mixed fluid is continuously removed. The device can be run for long periods of time without being shut down.
Product specifications for planetary mixers include media type and operating capacity. There are three choices for media type: liquid, liquid with suspended solids and powder or granular. Media viscosity, a measure of a fluid's thickness, is important to consider when choosing planetary mixers for processing liquids or liquids with suspended solids. As a rule, thicker materials require more energy for mixing, homogenizing, or blending. In terms of operating capacity, volume capacity and feed rate are important parameters. Capacity is the volume of product that a planetary mixer can accommodate. Feed rate is the volume that can be processed over a given period of time.
Additional specifications for planetary mixers include mixer location, mix rate and motor speed, operating temperature and pressure, and application. There are four choices for mixer location: in-line, top entry, side entry, and bottom entry. In-line mixers are mounted on the process line. Top-entry devices are mounted through an entry port at the top of the process material tank. Conversely, bottom-entry mixers are mounted through an entry port at the bottom of the process material tank. Normally, side-entry planetary mixers are mounted through a nozzle on the side of the tank or chest. The nozzle is near the bottom of the tank so that mixing is possible at reduced liquid levels during filling or emptying.

A good sunscreen cream is the best bet you have when you want something effective against wrinkles on your face. They do begin to show up with the advancing age, and they are not very pleasant.
An excessive exposure to sunlight is also known to result in the development of wrinkles. If you guard your skin against the sun, you are going to guard it from the formation of wrinkles too.
After all, they give away your age, and you are not going to let anyone know your age if you can help it.
Using a sunscreen is going to keep you away from the harmful effects of sunlight as well as keep you away from the reign of wrinkles on your face. It is very important to protect the skin from any form of damage from direct sunlight and it is as important to do something to heal the red marks left from an exposure to the sun.
To begin with, choose sunscreen lotions that dry down with the skin or its makeup. Avoid the brands that have ingredients of plant-oils and fatty-acids. They are more likely to leave behind a glittering face. Choose from the spectrum formula designated on the cream or lotion.
To for one that is rated SPF 25 or greater. Creams and lotions with greater SPF values are more effective. It is always wise to opt for sun screens that have considerable amounts of antioxidants besides anti-irritants. These improve the sunscreen's potential to guard the skin from ultraviolet radiation.

ASIAN markets were not spared last week's global rout after unexpectedly poor US job data and new fears over Hungary's sovereign debt levels.
Monday saw MSCI Asia Pacific Index slide 3.3 percent, its biggest decline since March 30, 2009, as economists scrambled to re-evaulate forecasts following fears of economic instability, Bloomberg reported.
However, the index recovered 1.2 percent on Friday on the back of a Wall Street rally. The Dow Jones had risen by 2.76 percent on Thursday on news of Japanese economic growth, soaring Chinese exports and falling Australian unemployment.
Gold rose to record levels across the world Friday, reaching US$1,254.50 an ounce in New York, as investors sought a safe alternative to currencies such as the euro.
Gold's popularity may explain the rapid rise of non-NASDAQ over-the-counter stock Elray Resources, the gold and copper explorer behind Angkor Wat Minerals Ltd, which owns a 100 percent interest in Porphyry Creek – a 90-square-kilometre gold and copper claim around 290 kilometres north of Phnom Penh. The company's share price rose 263 percent during the week.
It opened on Monday at US$0.033, and closed Friday at $0.12. However, shares remained almost $0.30 off its 52-week high of $0.41.
Australian Stock Exchange-listed Toll Holdings, one of the region's largest logistics providers, which is currently renovating Cambodia's railway network, said Monday that it was buying DPAX Group, an independent express air-freight operator, from Qantas Airways.
Although the price remains confidential, Toll said it expected the new business to make AU$30 million (US$25.5 million) in revenue in its first year.
The company opened AU$0.15 lower on Tuesday at AU$5.5 before closing at AU$5.86 – 1.38 percent higher than its Monday open.
Regional telecom company Axiata Group, owner of Cambodia's Hello brand, solidified operations in Malaysia with a memorandum of understanding signed between its Malaysian subsidiary Celecom Axiata, and DiGi Telecommunications – the Malaysian arm of Norway's Telenor Group.
Axiata said the MoU was "among the first such collaboration[s] in the world".
Axiata said the MoU will see the two networks consider "extensive collaboration" of resources, including base station sites and equipment in order to cut costs by cutting "escalating" rental fees, utility bills and transmission costs.
Axiata's price per share closed Friday at 3.85 ringgit (US$1.17). This was 0.9 ringgit higher than its Monday opening.

I can't live in a living room
My graduation project at Artemis Styling Academy (with honors) was all about the importance of the life-style 'travelling light'. What do we really need? For the bicycle brand Johnny Loco I made a proposal for a bag / basket as if it were a portable home... with functions including a seat, a coffee break, and a lamp to feel safe. The styling derived from the theme 'Travelling Carnival' with a matching booth and photography for a publicity campaign.
Sharing food is a gift
For the department store Vroom & Dreesmann I suggested to treat their products at the cooking / dining department as 'Gifts' and put them on instore display accordingly. This could open an new opportunity to extend the existing product range, with products that fit into the different themes.

About the Author
There was never any doubt that Carrie Alexander would have a creative career. As a two-year-old, she imagined dinosaurs on the lawn. By six it was witches in the bedroom closet. Soon she was designing elaborate paper-doll wardrobes and writing stories about Teddy the Bear.
Eventually she graduated to short horror stories and oil paints. She was working as an artist and a part-time librarian when she "discovered" her first romance novel and thought, "Hey, I can write one of these!" So she did.
Carrie is now the author of several books for various Harlequin lines, with many more crowding her imagination, demanding to be written. She has been a RITA and Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice finalist, but finds her greatest reward in becoming friends with her readers, even if it's only for the length of a book.
Carrie lives in the upper peninsula of Michigan, where the long winters still don't give her enough time to significantly reduce her to-be-read mountains of books. When she's not reading or writing (which is rare), Carrie is painting and decorating her own or her friends' houses, watching football, and shoveling snow. She loves to hear from readers, who can contact her by mail in care of Harlequin Books, and by email at firstname.lastname@example.com

BERLIN: Saudi Arabia hopes that slower global growth will not trigger a fall in the current healthy demand for oil, Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih told a German newspaper in an interview published on Tuesday, adding oil prices of around $50 per barrel were too low.
"Ultimately, market fundamentals, or supply and demand, are the primary determinant of the oil price, and at the moment we see healthy demand for oil," he told German business daily Handelsblatt.
"That said, there are economic headwinds in some important markets and we hope this does not trigger a slowdown in global demand," he added.
He said oil prices need to be somewhere between $50 and $100 per barrel for the industry to sustain investment.
"We have seen a decrease in supply by roughly one million barrels of crude oil per day," he said, referring to fracking in the U.S. and oil sands in Canada.
"At the same time, demand has recovered, meaning that supply and demand are now more balanced again. But there are still excess stocks on the market - hundreds of millions of barrels of surplus oil. It will take a long time to reduce this inventory overhang."

Yummy Yogurt
Eat It
Most people agree: yogurt is yummy. There's no question that yogurt has gained popularity as a snack with its creamy texture and fruity flavors. Even plain, it's just plain good! The individual cups make quick and painless snack options that most kids love, and the larger containers make it easy to have on hand for recipes. Those little single-serving containers certainly make it easy to pack in a kid's lunch or for a grab-and-go snack, don't they? That said, you can save calories, sugar, and money—and also try some different flavor combinations—by purchasing the larger containers of your favorite nonfat plain yogurt (or even the vanilla low fat yogurt). Just add fresh or frozen fruit, a little honey to taste, maybe a few nuts or seeds for crunch, and then plunk it into some reusable plastic containers! Easy, right? Don't be afraid to mix up those fruit flavors!
Try This
Yogurt also makes a great substitution for sour cream or buttermilk in recipes, effectively reducing fat and calories (if you use low fat or nonfat yogurt, that is) and adding a tangy flavor. Do you like biscuits? I sure do. Mmmm biscuits. Try your favorite recipe (or this one from thekitchn.com) using yogurt instead of buttermilk. Fresh herbs like dill or parsley provide some freshness and flavor and might even make you forget about the butter. Maybe.
Mix plain yogurt with fresh herbs and a bit of onion for an excellent veggie dip.
Many people have lactose issues and can't tolerate dairy, but some people can handle yogurt because of its lower sugar content and active cultures that aid digestion by producing lactase enzymes. Be sure to ask your doctor, and check out more of yogurt's health benefits here.
Drink It
Plain yogurt adds protein, calcium, enzymes, vitamins, and other nutrients to your favorite smoothie without packing in the additional sugar, fat, or calories. Add one-half to one full cup of nonfat plain yogurt to smoothies along with your favorite fruits and vegetables.
Yogurt for Skin and Hair Care
Maybe won't eat or drink yogurt, and that's fine too as there are lots of other great uses! Yogurt makes a great sunburn or acne treatment, and the lactic acid also promotes the growth of new skin cells which can effectively reduce the appearance of dark circles and pigmentation. Simply apply plain organic yogurt with a cotton ball to the affected area, or make a facial with two parts yogurt to one part oatmeal and apply to face with a circular motion. Scrub and rinse after fifteen to twenty minutes.
We already know the wonders of coconut oil and love it! For a fabulously moisturizing deep hair conditioner, blend two parts yogurt with one part coconut oil and apply. Leave it on for an hour before rinsing and shampooing.
Regardless of how you use yogurt, I hope you found a new use or two here. Happy snacking/treating/conditioning!
What's your favorite yogurt brand and flavor? What makes it your favorite? Tell us about it.

Herewith, some notes on gender and parenthood, by way of organizing some thoughts and soliciting dialog in advance of a panel I'll be speaking on. These notes also provide attendees a place to which to be able to trace various threads, should they like, or carry on the conversation we started.
This Friday I have the honor to be speaking at the Dad 2.0 Summit alongside four other really smart panelists and in dialog with the great folks assembled in the room. Our moderator is Parent Hacks founder/author Asha Dornfest; co-panelists are National At-Home Dad Network President Al Watts, therapist and Father's Forum founder Bruce Linton, and Huffington Post senior columnist Lisa Belkin.
The question organizing our chat: Can parenting ever really be gender-neutral? Framed in the program thusly:
When it comes to parenting, mothers are held to an unreasonably high standard, while the bar for passable fatherhood is disproportionately low. As fathers strive for greater credibility as parents, the gap between those standards is diminishing. But will that gap every truly disappear? And is this the only way dads will ever be perceived as having a truly equal footing when it comes to raising kids?
Below, some notes on things I consider axiomatic and fundamental, but worth stating explicitly, since so many of us come from so many different standpoints. Also, some postulations about gender, parenting, and the relationship between pubic and private sphere power.

Written by Jacqueline Silvestri Banks
For many women battling severe cramps and PMS, the secret to easing these symptoms can be as easy as altering their shopping list.
Eating the right foods can help prevent irritability, cramps and bloating. The goal is to eat foods that will help provide hormonal balance, stabilize blood sugar throughout the day to avoid spikes in insulin and increase nutrition with the most nutrient-dense food choices.
Eliminating all non-organic dairy, beef and chicken will help with hormonal imbalance. By choosing organic you eliminate any added growth hormones and pesticides that may lead to estrogen dominance and significantly more symptoms of PMS, especially cramping. Eliminate all 'white' foods (sugar and starch), which can change the way estrogen is metabolized and trigger the body to convert testosterone to estrogen. Trade white rice for brown or wild rice, and white bread for a whole grain variety and keep your daily servings to a minimum. Use a natural sweetener such as honey instead of sugar and use only sparingly.
Eating a diet high in protein and healthy fats will help stabilize blood sugar throughout the day. Saturated fats and cholesterol are essential to good health and shouldn't be avoided. The key is to choose high-quality, organic products that contain no added hormones. These include butter and cream from grass-fed cows, meat from pastured, organic animals, eggs from pastured hens and healthy fats from avocados, olive and coconut oils and fatty fish such as salmon and herring.
Nutrient dense foods will supply vitamins and minerals that may currently be lacking. First rid the fridge of low or non-fat foods. These tend to contain chemical stabilizers to help them maintain the right consistency. Avoid foods containing chemical preservatives, additives, artificial sweeteners and coloring, as they can overload the system with toxins. Focus on eating at least two servings of cruciferous vegetables daily such as kale, collard greens, broccoli and cabbage; they contain Indole-3-Carbinol, which has been found to help regulate estrogen levels and support hormonal balance.

I'm currently loving this summer's swimwear trend: The Modest Bikini. Thanks to the high-rise bikini bottoms that Marysia Swim made popular, more and more brands are following this trend. It's hard to find modest swimwear that is also chic and doesn't look to granny-ish.
Here are some of my favorites, have included few one piece suits that resemble bikinis. These high fashion swimwear are truly investment pieces.

The PRI will be offering a suite of exciting sponsorship opportunities for the Academic Network Conference 2020.

High quality research can inform practice and give a better understanding of ESG risks, opportunities and impacts, thereby increasing the effectiveness of investment practices. However, as navigating academic research can be a challenge for investors, the PRI Academic Network Advisory Committee has curated a selection of rigorous and high-quality academic studies.
How investors can pursue a just transition for workers and communities as the world's economy responds to climate change.
Institutional investors are increasingly realising that income inequality – the gap in income and wealth between the very affluent and the rest of society – has become one of the most noteworthy socio-economic issues of our time.
There is growing evidence that engagement by investors with companies on ESG issues can create shareholder value.
Investors want to know their portfolio companies are paying taxes in line with their business activities, as aggressive tax planning costs governments billions of dollars of revenue, and creates market distortions in both developed and developing countries.
The Academic Network Advisory Committee includes both leading academics as well as investment practitioners that guide and support the work of the Academic Network, which has over 4,000 members globally.
This is the winning essay of a student competition issued by the PRI on "How and where will millennials invest: the missing link between RI and financial education". Shortlisted articles were presented by the students at PRI in Person 2018 in San Francisco. The authors are Saphira Rekker and Anne-Claire ...

Watch: Giancarlo Stanton hits home run over bleachers at Dodger Stadium
If you were watching the Dodgers-Marlins game on Tuesday night you probably caught a fleeting glimpse of history.
Rightfielder Giancarlo Stanton became the fifth player in Major League history to hit a home run clear out of Dodger Stadium, and the first since Mark McGwire did it in 1999, when he unleashed a purported 478-foot bomb off of Los Angeles pitcher Mike Bolsinger.
If the 478-foot distance is confirmed, the home run would be the third longest of the 2015 season behind Nelson Cruz and Josh Donaldson, according to StatCast.
The ball had an exit velocity of 114 mph, according to BaseballSavant.com. ESPN measured the distance of the home run at 467 feet.
Check out video of this blast from the Marlins' 25-year-old star:
Stanton's homer would be the only run the Marlins would muster, however, as the Dodgers won 11–1.

"This call may be monitored for quality control purposes."
It's a recorded message people often hear before they are transferred (finally) to a live person at a call centre.
Customers may feel somewhat reassured that the person on the other end of the line will be helpful since their responses are being recorded and reviewed by supervisors.
But instead of being assessed on how helpful they were to customers, employees are sometimes reviewed on the degree of resourcefulness they use in stalling and stonewalling — disturbing prerequisites for call centre workers.
Now, most are helpful and do the best they can, and the companies that hire them actually care about customer service. But not so much at telecom call centres, particularly those engaged by Bell, Rogers or Telus — the three singled out in a recent damning CBC Go Public investigation.
Only as a last resort, when angry threats are made to cancel outright or switch to a competitor, does the customer finally receive the service they are seeking.
Hundreds of current and former telecom workers have spoken out about misleading and unethical sales practices. Those allegations prompted the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to order a public hearing on the sales practices of telecoms, set to get underway Monday, Oct. 22. It's part of an inquiry ordered by the federal government as a result of numerous complaints.
Many Atlantic Canadian television, telephone and internet customers are nodding in agreement. It's about time.
As Go Public reported, most telecom sales reps earn points towards commission for every product and service they sell and lose points every time they cancel or reduce a customer's service. So, employees are encouraged to do everything possible to delay cancellations or downgrades in service.
Out of sheer frustration, many customers reluctantly pay up and keep services they don't need. Inexorably, monthly fees go up and changing bundles becomes next to impossible. Only as a last resort, when angry threats are made to cancel outright or switch to a competitor, does the customer finally receive the service they are seeking.
When will these big telecom companies clue in that you can only push customers so far, and that any lingering loyalty will soon vanish with poor treatment? Telecoms seem to presume that Canadians will continue to accept getting ripped off and ask for more.
But an Angus Reid poll released Thursday suggests otherwise. It found that Canadian millennials are increasingly willing to opt out of traditional television and phone service for online streaming. Many have no need of landlines; others are cancelling cable or satellite. Telecoms should be offering bundles that are cheaper and more flexible to keep customers and attract new ones — not driving them away in droves. Incredibly, many don't seem to care.
Atlantic Canadians have telecom horror stories to tell and now is their chance. Pass them along to the CRTC, and maybe substantive changes will finally come.
And, yes — this editorial may be monitored by big telecoms for criticism purposes.

Students support is an integral part of our school community and we have a strong focus on supporting our students, parents and staff. Our Heads of Student Support work with two vital teams within our school.
We are fortunate enough to be able to offer targeted small group support programs for different year levels throughout the year. These programs are both internally developed or are facilitated by staff from our support and behaviour teams or run by external support agencies. Our aim through these programs is to give focused support for selected students. Our Investing for Success Plan provides additional funding for support programs - view the I4S plan here.
Students can make appointments with any of the Support Team via the Support Team referral box that is located in the foyer of the Student Services building or directly to the support staff member. The Year Coordinators are a great first point of contact for any students experiencing any issues that they may want assistance with. Student can also access the Head of Student Support or Behaviour Support Teacher by seeing them in their rooms at the Admin building.
Parents can make appointments for any members of the Student Support Team or the Behaviour Team through the office on 4669 0900.
