1. Chocolate Robots - xxCross The Linexx (Self Released)
This is one of those records I just keep coming back to. It's the debut album from Sarnia based Chocolate Robots and has been knocking around since November but has probably been criminally overlooked for most peoples end of year lists. I did start an end of year list for Burning World but getting it anywhere below 100 record was proving impossible so I got in a huff and set it on fire.
2. Should - Own Two Feet (Captured Tracks)
This is a track from what was the debut Should record. "A Folding Sieve" originally released back in 1995 under the moniker shiFt on N.D. records. It has just been re-issued on Captured Tracks with a couple of extra bonus tracks.
3. The Jaffa Kid - IGTOBLRT Itch (Recycled Plastics)
Taken from the album Ohms which is the second release in the Recycled Plastics Bedroom Compost series. The ful release can be downloaded further down this page or go to the Recycled Plastics Bandcamp Page where you will also find the first release in the series, a three track EP by AQV which is also well worth a listen.
4. Screen Vinyl Image - Revival (Custom Made Music)
Taken from the album "Strange Behavior".
5. Red Horses Of The Snow - Siam (Flashback)
One of the best Christmas presents I got this year was this superb album by Red Horses Of The Snow. It's their debut release and can be purchased as a download from their bandcamp page but what you really want is the limited edition vinyl version which has been released on Flashback Records as a lovely gatefold album in a run of just 500 copies. Highly recommended.
6. Vladislav Delay - Lauma (Kompakt)
Taken from the album "Vantaa" which was actually released at the end of November on Kompact but I have been waiting for the perfect time to put a track into one of these Fodders... actually that was a load of b****cks the truth is I lost it.
7. Perhower - Spell Checker (Self Released)
This is the first track I've heard from Perhower which features at least some components from the now defunct Miss Halliwell. Good track.
8. Dot Dash - A Straight Line (The Beautiful Music)
Another track from the superb album "Spark>Flame>Amber>Ash" which is available now through The Beautiful Music.
9. Cloud Nothings - Fall In (Carpark)
It's taken a while but the debut album from Baltimore's Cloud Nothings is almost upon us. It will be released on 24th January on Carpark Recordings. The album was recorded using the productive genius of Steve Albini in Chicago. It doesn't seem to matter what Steve Albini produces, it always makes you feel like you've been slapped in the face by a bus.
10. Drums Of Death - The Jerk (Original Mix) (Civil Music)
This is a track from a four track 12" entitled "Red Waves" which has just been released on Civil Music.
11. Sunburned Hand Of The Man - A Red Rag To A Bull (Ecstatic Peace)
Taken from the 2010 album "A" which somehow bullied it's way back onto my i-pod this week. Must have been too much Christmas refreshments because I played a bit of it to my mum in the hope she might see the error of her ways (Cliff Richard fan) but all that seemed to happen was some rather violent shuddering and sweating and use of words I can't possibly say here. Suffice to say it affected her more than Cliff ever has!
12. Seafieldroad - Emily By The Seaside (Biphonic)
This is one of two brand new tracks by Seafieldroad which can be downloaded from Bandcamp on one of those pay what you like arrangements.

The Goog Dog Training Tips
Sean was referred to me through my work at a vet hospital and I never thought I could be so impressed. Sean's initial 2 hour session with me COMPLETELY transformed my dog.- Michelle
TGD Video Tip: They're not all abused!!
So many owners get caught up in the story (whether real or imagined) about their dog's past. These stories inevitably make things worse for your dog. They case owners to feel bad, sad, guilty, and to not share what their dogs truly need from them. And the truth is, if every dog that I was told was abused, we'd have a country filled with primarily dog abuses, and that just ain't the case. 🙂
P.S. Sorry the video cut off abruptly! Promise all the best stuff is in there 🙂
TGD Video Tip: Being honest with yourself about your dog's issues
This is kind of a heavy message, but one that we all really need to talk about. Having a dog with issues is a serious responsibility. Injuries (or worse) to other dogs or people can result in lawsuits, loss of freedom (dangerous dog title), inability to obtain insurance, quarantine, having your dog put down, or having to choose to put your dog down yourself. Not to mention the guilt and heartbreak of knowing your dog has done something horrible, and that ultimately you're responsible for it. When the dog we love starts to show problem behaviors it can be easy to fall into denial. It was just that one time. It was just that particular situation. It was just…
This video is a reminder that if you've seen previous issues, take them seriously. Don't tell yourself stories about it being a fluke. Most likely it's not. Don't let your desire for the way you want to live with your dog crash into the reality of what your dog is actually capable of. Take precautions, take responsibility. Get out of denial, and … Read More »
TGD Video Tip: the messy middle
Think dog training by the pros is simple, straightforward, and without tons of hurdles and struggles? I'm here to tell you it ain't. Even for those of us with a lot of dogs and years under our belts, things are almost always messy as we work to build a well-trained, emotionally balanced dog. In this clip I dive into the realities of training and rehab work, and share the truth about the transitional points between starting and looking good.
TGD Video Tip: how I fix fighting dogs
After posting about fighting dogs Rigby and Bela for the last two weeks (and folks seeing their transformation) I received a ton of questions about how I managed to stop the fights and get them to exist (and work together) peacefully. In this clip I share what is likely the least understood component of turning around serious issues. Most folks simply focus on the training and tools, but the real gateway to transformation doesn't occur there, it occurs psychologically. The only way to get dogs who are making poor choices to make better choices is to create an entirely new framework from which they operate psychologically. Understanding this concept, and putting it into practice, the right way, is where real transformation lies.
TGD Video Tip: using tone and intent to create better training results
One of the things that trips up so many owners (and trainers!) up is the tone they use when interacting with their dogs. They might use too much excitement, not enough excitement (and usually the wrong one at the wrong time), or just not be believable in their tone to create what they want. When tone and intent is used properly you can help dogs move faster, slower, stay put, relax, calm down…or you can make them make mistakes, push against you, rev up when you want them revved down, ect. It also has a huge impact on relationship and your dog's perception of you. Check out this clip for all the lowdown on how to use tone and intent to you and your dog's advantage.
TGD Video Tip: stop pondering and start training (or just train the damn dog!)
So many owners and trainers get caught up in trying to determine, decipher, and piece together the history and/or causes of a dog's issues. Here's the scoop: it's doesn't freakin' matter! Fixing behavior is depending on the behavior you're seeing currently, not possible stories, history or guesses. Just train the dog, and all the feedback you'll need, all your answers will be revealed. Because the only real truth, is the dog in front of you.
TGD Video Tip: The quarterback principle
No matter how talented the quarterback, of you put him with an uncommitted, not motivated, inconsistent team, and he's gonna lose…probably every time. It's the same with dog trainers and their clients. The trainer is the quarterback and the owner/family is the team. The trainer is only as good as his or her team. This is an important concept for both owners and trainers to look at.
TGD Video Tip: leverage, it works for you and against you
One of the training concepts I talk about most frequently is leverage. Why? Because it's without a doubt, one of the most valuable concepts in training. The cool thing is, its actually not hard to use, once you understand it. The other thing is, it works both ways; both for you and your relationship with your dog, and against you and your relationship with your dog. You get to choose. In this clip I breakdown this game changing concept, and share examples and applications of it – both positives and negatives.
TGD Video Tip: managing vs. fixing the problem
When our dogs have issues we have two choices, we can manage the issue or we can actually fix it. Many owners have been advised to train an incompatible behavior (teach the dog to sit when it jumps on people for example), or simply get the dog away from the trigger (call the dog away/go to place, ect). Both of these options are management techniques. They don't stop the desire to do the original problem behavior, they simply manage it when it arises. The thing is, if you don't actually pair a negative consequence with a behavior, you and your dog will simply do this dance of problem-and-management for…well…ever.
In this video I share an actual example (charging the front door with intent/teeth bared/growling, serious fence fighting) from this weekend's TGD problem solving workshop. (This particular dog actually has a significant bite history, so management obviously wasn't helping). I break down the training recommendations I gave for addressing these issues rather than managing them, I share a few Sean O'Shea style analogies (they're a thing, I swear!), and I explain why … Read More »
TGD Video Tip: Create the Invitation
One of the concepts that is an enormous game changer for proofing obedience as well as improving attitude, state of mind, and relationship is creating an invitation. This is a concept that stymies many owners. Instead of creating an invitation, they manage, block, and ultimately fool themselves into thinking their dog is doing better than they actually are. In this TGD Video Tip I break down this super important training concept, and share how it can be applied with several different exercises. I also explain the nuances of how this concept can improve your dog's overall behavior and your relationship.
TGD Video Tip: The secret to succeeding in this life is…there is no secret!
I really hope you take a few minutes to watch this video I made for y'all this am. In it I talk about the only real secret: rituals, routines, habits, and their seemingly magical power to change your life. You see, everyone thinks life changes in big motions and actions, but actually it's all about teeny, tiny actions and effort taken daily. And it's that daily part that gets most of us. Most of us can marshal our forces for a few days, weeks, or maybe even months, but eventually we fall off, and fall back to our old stuff. The secret, like I said, is to make this stuff a habit – something so deeply a part of your life that you don't even consider doing it or not doing it. What if you made goal setting, studying, or a healthy smoothie, or the gym as regular as you do showering or brushing your teeth? Eventually it would become automatic, and that automatic part would make it easy for you to keep the habit going. Choices are hard, habits … Read More »

Cameroon's Far North: A New Chapter in the Fight Against Boko Haram
What's new? As fighting between government forces and the Boko Haram insurgents in Cameroon's Far North diminishes, a lasting peace depends on how the government deals with former members of the jihadist movement, its former prisoners and vigilante groups set up to fight it.
Why does it matter? A well-designed policy toward former Boko Haram members could lead those that are still active to surrender. Vigilantes could turn to crime if left to their own devices.
What should be done? The government should put dangerous militants on trial, but reintegrate low-risk former Boko Haram members into their communities, while encouraging communities to accept them and ensuring that they have the resources to do so. It should demobilise some vigilante groups and integrate others into municipal police.
Executive Summary
The intensity of the conflict against Boko Haram in Cameroon's Far North has diminished, though the movement still poses a threat and the humanitarian situation remains precarious. Long-term stability hinges on how the government resolves two principal security challenges: first, dealing with former combatants and other Boko Haram members; and, secondly, determining the future of community self-defence, or vigilante, groups. For former Boko Haram fighters, the Cameroonian government should put in place measures to distinguish dangerous militants requiring judicial proceedings and likely incarceration from other members for whom community service and public apologies might be more appropriate. It should provide support to communities into which militants will reintegrate. For vigilantes, it will have to better assist those still needed in the fight against Boko Haram and integrate some of them into municipal police, while demobilising those in other areas. It also must investigate vigilantes accused of abuses, hold accountable those responsible and make public court decisions.
Thousands of Cameroonians joined Boko Haram between 2012 and 2016, sometimes due to ideological conviction but often out of opportunism or under duress. Some were killed in the fighting, others arrested by the security forces and an unknown number, perhaps as many as one thousand, are still active members. In early 2017, some tried to surrender, but were rejected by their communities or killed by security forces. Since October 2017, the Cameroon government has been more willing to accept Boko Haram deserters. To date, almost 200 have surrendered. As yet, however, the government has no clear policy for dealing with them. The right response could encourage other Boko Haram members to surrender and further weaken the movement. Getting it wrong, on the other hand, could deter combatants who are still active from giving up the fight and entrench their reliance on the jihadist group.
Since 2014, vigilantes, numbering some 14,000 in the Far North, have played an essential role against Boko Haram. They provide critical intelligence to Cameroonian forces, act as scouts and guides, and sometimes confront jihadists directly and protect their villages, especially against suicide attacks. The authorities offer them little support, however. Some have become disillusioned and abandoned the struggle. Vigilante groups also have come in for criticism. Some members were previously cattle thieves, smugglers or bandits, others have been arrested for collaboration with Boko Haram and some are suspected of human rights abuses against captured Boko Haram suspects. As the conflict quietens, plans for their future will become ever more urgent. The absence of such plans could lead groups to fragment, with some vigilantes turning back to crime.
The Cameroonian government should adopt policies aimed at encouraging more Cameroonian Boko Haram members to surrender and prepare for vigilantes' demobilisation. For the former, it should:
- Publicly announce that it will protect surrendering Boko Haram members and afford them due process, and that non-combatants are unlikely to face jail time; it also should consult neighbouring countries with more experience on good practices for former combatants' reintegration;
- Devise a program of support for communities into which former Boko Haram members will reintegrate, potentially including support for agricultural, livestock and commercial activities in host communities and subsidies to small businesses that employ young people;
- Refine procedures for distinguishing those surrendering or captured Boko Haram members who are combatants, still preach violence or are suspected of perpetrating atrocities from those who are non-combatants, renounce violence or are not accused of major crimes. Initial assessments, now led by the military, should be expanded to involve police officers, International Red Cross and/or UN protection experts and potentially also academics and researchers;
- Adopt a tailored approach for holding former Boko Haram members accountable, based on these initial assessments. Some will require judicial proceedings and, in some cases, imprisonment and careful monitoring. For others, community service, public confessions, symbolic ceremonies and vocational training would be more apt. The government also should allocate greater manpower and funds to Far North courts so they can quickly adjudicate cases for former militants who do require judicial processes; and
- Amend the 2014 anti-terrorist law and the Penal Code to give judges and communities a degree of flexibility in their treatment of former Boko Haram members. Alternatively, President Paul Biya could sign a decree laying out procedures for dealing with individuals who have surrendered.
Regarding the vigilantes, the government should prepare for their future after the fight against Boko Haram. It should:
- Refrain from mobilising new vigilante groups and focus instead on developing intelligence and early warning networks to ensure state security forces can protect civilians as needed;
- In areas still exposed to Boko Haram, keep vigilantes operational while better supporting and supervising them, setting up external accountability systems, including community oversight, integrate some of them into municipal police and provide training in practical skills (for example, intelligence, first aid and demining);
- Demobilise vigilantes in areas where they are no longer needed, registering those who still have weapons and establishing projects to enable their reintegration into civilian life, either by helping them find local work or by financing micro-projects in sectors such as trade and agriculture; and
- Investigate all accusations of abuses by vigilantes, hold accountable those responsible and make public court decisions.
International support for measures to deal with former Boko Haram members and vigilantes will be critical, given the lack of local expertise and the strain on public finances, with the October presidential election looming and Cameroon hosting the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019. Foreign partners, notably the U.S., the European Union and Japan, should support investment in communities into which former militants will reintegrate and initiatives aimed at demobilising vigilantes, including them as beneficiaries of development projects. Some vigilante groups will not trust traditional chiefs or local authorities to administer government or donor funds alone; better would be for local NGOs also to be involved in their disbursement.
While levels of violence in the Far North have diminished, the Cameroon government has a long way to go in tackling the underlying factors that allowed Boko Haram to gain a foothold, notably the state's lack of legitimacy, poverty, some communities' exclusion from power and divides between local elites and young people. For now, however, the priorities are to deal with surrendering or captured combatants and prepare for the vigilantes' future. The manner in which the government handles those challenges will determine whether the Far North can make the transition to greater stability. Lastly, the fight against Boko Haram in general and the reintegration of former members in particular goes hand in hand with respect for human rights. Videos have recently circulated on the internet, apparently showing the killing by Cameroonian soldiers of unarmed women and children accused of belonging to Boko Haram. Such grave abuses can only discourage Boko Haram members from surrendering officially and openly, as is best, and instead push them to try returning to Cameroon in secret.

Tariq El-Shabazz: Can Seth Williams' Right-Hand Man Distance Himself From Past Administration?
As Seth Williams leaves the District Attorney's office amid federal charges, Tariq El-Shabazz, a former first assistant to Williams, wants Philadelphia voters to know his experience and work in the DA's office are what set him apart from a packed field in the May 16th Primaries.
He understands people are concerned about several issues — ranging from his tax liens to a recent report of former clients complaining about his services — but warns that drastic change in the city's prosecuting office could undo years of progress.
"A ship as big as a 650-person vessel can't turn on a dime; it has to turn slowly," El-Shabazz said. "So what are you gonna do? Blow it up and do what? You're firing everybody? You can't fire everybody. You can't make massive improvements all at one time."
In a roughly 80-minute-long interview last month, El-Shabazz spoke with Spirit News about the most pressing issues in this district attorney race, along with his past experience and what he believes his current perception is due to his taxes and connection to Seth Williams.
The 53-year-old Brooklyn native believes in "common sense" reform — he used the phrase 11 times during our discussion. He's also a fan of using analogies to illustrate a point. "Not throwing the baby out with the bathwater" is a saying he used three times.
That being said, El-Shabazz believes he has the experience to actually create meaningful change in the DA's office, given his more than 30 years of experience in law as a prosecutor and defense attorney. He also has been outspoken about race relations in the city and the United States, arguing change must occur from hard conversation between both sides of the political aisle.
"I put my clothes on the same way and I look the same way," he said of his upbringing. "I can change my name to John Smith and I'm still a black man."
One policy that falls under the race umbrella is stop and frisk. El-Shabazz adamantly opposes this type of policing, along with arresting low-level drug offenders and offering more non-cash bail in court cases. He's also against excessive use of mandatory minimums and the privatization of the prison system.
He wants voters to know, however, that some aspects of the system work: probable cause, reasonable suspicion and other constitutional rights and personal liberties.
"What can't get lost in all this reform talk is public safety," El-Shabazz said. "There are some people you're going to have to prosecute and lock up. Everybody's not getting a pass. That's the nature of it. That's why you have to be balanced with discretion and understanding."
Some of the challenges El-Shabazz faces have to do with his credibility. Concerning his tax debts, he said he owes about $74,000 out of an original $137,000, which accumulated over the past four to five years. He emphasized these are civil debts and that he has never been criminally charged regarding tax collection previously.
More troubling, perhaps, is his connection to District Attorney Seth Williams, who has been indicted with more than 20 counts involving corruption, bribery and other charges. El-Shabazz worked as First Assistant under Williams before he announced his candidacy for the position of District Attorney last fall.
"I agree that you bare your soul when you run for public office, no doubt about it," he said about his taxes and connection to Williams. "The question can be asked and I answered those questions. It's just there are questions, with all due respect, that definitely distract from what we're talking about and what this race is."
Ultimately, it's unclear how much these issues will impact El-Shabazz until Philadelphians vote on May 16. He will, however, be battling six other Democrats to face Republican Beth Grossman in the general election this fall.
El-Shabazz added that he most aligns ideologically with Larry Krasner, the civil rights attorney, but stated Krasner goes "farther" on some issues than himself. He declined to clarify what he meant, directing Spirit News to ask Krasner about his platform.
Regardless of his opponents, restoring credibility to the office and creating trust within the community is imperative, El-Shabazz said.
"We spend too much time on the issues that we shouldn't; we're distracted," he said. "I can do that through working with people and continuing to work on reform and it's earning the trust and bringing the dignity and ethics back to that office, to the people in it and to the surrounding community."

In the noise and commotion of daily life, people achieve effective communication partly because spoken messages are replete with redundant information. Listeners exploit available contextual, linguistic, phonemic, and prosodic cues to decipher degraded speech. When other cues are absent or ambiguous, phonemic and prosodic cues are particularly important because they help identify word boundaries, a process known as lexical segmentation. Individuals vary in the degree to which they rely on phonemic or prosodic cues for lexical segmentation in degraded conditions. Deafened individuals who use a cochlear implant have diminished access to fine frequency information in the speech signal, and show …

When we lived in Houston, Texas, one of our favorite places to dine was at an upscale Latino restaurant, called the Cafe Red Onion. They have an amazing menu of Latin fusion meals representing the best of Latin American cooking. Like most TexMex restaurants, they too serve chips and salsa when they take your beverage order, but their salsa is probably unlike any salsa you've encountered in the past.
Since we have been here in Costa Rica for almost 4 years now, I was really craving some of Red Onion's salsa, so I began my internet search. I found the Houston Chronicle had actually published the recipe years ago from one of their readers. She got the recipe in a cooking class taught by Cafe Red Onion owner Rafael Galindo.
The key ingredient calls for canned pineapple! Since we live here in the land of abundant fresh pineapple, canned pineapple would never be acceptable. So I set about tweaking the recipe just a bit to take advantage of our fresh ingredients.
We served this salsa to dinner guests last night and received rave reviews. Enjoy!
1 large fresh pineapple cut into chunks, with juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup cilantro leaves, with the woody stems removed
Juice of 1 juicy lime
1 fresh Jalapeño pepper seeded (more, or less to taste)
Salt to taste
1 packet of Splenda (optional)
Combine 1/2 the pineapples and all the other ingredients, except the salt and Splenda, in a blender or food processor. Pulse the blender until the cilantro and Jalapeño is well chopped and mixed with the pineapple. Empty contents of blender into a bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 of the pineapple to the blender and pulse just until you have small chunks/tidbits. Add this to the bowl with the other ingredients, Mix well. Season to taste with salt, and with Splenda if the pineapple needs additional sweetness. Serve with chips.
¡Buen Provecho!

It is always essential to opt for home remodelling if you want your house to feel more comfortable and look more soothing. The entire process needs to be effectively planned to get good results. In other words, the plan could be divided into sub-plans and then each one could be looked into separately. Also, it is important to keep the budget into consideration so that the plan comes across as an economical one.
Before inspiration: You might not plan well.
After inspiration: You will focus on the bigger picture and divide the tasks into smaller parts and devise a renovation plan for each part. This is the time to discuss plans with your architect and renovate accordingly. This is the time to brainstorm new ideas and reach your target goals.
Before inspiration: You might not keep the budget in control.
After inspiration: You might look into much economical options to decide the total expenditure. Do not overestimate your budget so that you could reach to effective goals.
Before inspiration: You might not give importance to research for house remodelling.
After inspiration: You might take into consideration things such as doors, paints, rooms, kitchens, restrooms, floor and much more for house renovation.
Doors: These create the first impression, so make sure to change them or at-least paint them aesthetically.
Paints: These affect lighting and therefore select colours accordingly. Make sure that the colours selected are on your budget.
Rooms: If you have small rooms, you can opt for using mirrors to make them look large.
Kitchen: It is important to have the right capacity for storage in kitchens. Build the kitchen cabinets accordingly.
Also focus on other aspects such as having the right installation fixtures and quality products to build your restroom. Keep the flooring into the budget plans too.
So, do not wait anymore. Get inspired and build the best homes through home remodelling strategies.

Five centuries ago, India was under the rule and influence of the Mughal dynasty. The Mughal royalty were connoisseurs of architecture, arts, food, clothing and of course, jewelry. During the Mughal rule, jewelry-making was given utmost importance. This art gave birth to unique jewelry pieces studded with chunky gemstones and enamelled with motif designs. Royal family members and people of high rank proudly displayed such jewelry all over their bodies, from jeweled turbans and head-jewelry to thick-set toe rings. Because jewelers tend to own specific color gems for a long time without selling them, it's not unusual to see a 500% markup on small color gems. To illustrate my point about not being put off by the prices on the label, I noticed Roger had actually produced a label for my ring, presumably to put it in their stock if I didn't like it. The price is in local currency but literally seems to be a number pulled out of the air. I have never understood why they do that here in Dubai. Aim roughly to pay a quarter of the price on the label but always ask the salesman what the price is-it definitely will not be what's on the label! There are so many types of jewelry I love to make! I'm constantly pushing myself to learn new techniques and am always in the middle of an online class! I tend to gravitate toward softer colors, somewhat dainty designs and I try to always incorporate an unexpected, unique quality. I love to make hand knotted pieces and hand stamped charms and focal pieces. Gemstones are my weakness! I add them everywhere, giving each piece a one of a kind element. I'm drawn to mixing metals, particularly 14k gold fill and sterling. Soldering offers so many options for this idea. I also love to play around with patina. Oxidized and aged makes for stunning pieces! Silver jewelry is one of the most versatile among many jewelries today. It has almost outweighed gold's popularity and have the same quality as well. You can find pieces of silver earring that suit the boardroom and the evening party. Silver is chosen by many for their earrings not just for it's looks and affordability but because of its quality that less likely to cause allergy. In ancient times people believed that there are some silver jewelry that causes healing power, especially silver earrings and silver rings. This silver jewelry is not intended to replace the medical advice of medical practitioner but it is just an option.
Thank you, Fay @favored! I'm not very organized in general, but if I didn't have a good organization system in place for all my beads and jewelry supplies I'd never be able to find anything! I find that organizing my beads by color family makes designing jewelry so much easier, too. Many thanks for your visit and your kind words! Zales gives you 60 days to return a piece that doesn't fit your finger, wrist or taste. The only exception to this rule is if there is any damage to the jewelry, or if the piece has been altered in any way, which includes engraved items and special orders. Also, your package is protected if the jewelry you've purchased is worth $100 or more – a signature is required to receive it. An online sale is the best as it is the easiest way to sell diamonds and the fastest way to earn money. The buyers provide world class services and the selling model is easy. You could also experiment with chocolate, if she loves baking. You can include some ready-made bake mixes or all the ingredients for one great cake and the special recipe for it too. Throw in a customized apron that flaunts her name or favorite quote, a pair of gloves and a chef's headgear and you have a great gift, one that she will love! In case you identify a craze for perfumes, then do not go in for any one deodorant or perfume only. Now, there are a number of outlets that offer some great discounts on an assorted range of perfumes, deodorants and essence oils. You can indulge in some comparison shopping and surprise her with the sheer choice she would now have to indulge in.
Hello I am opening an online boutique in few days and need a cute name , I will be selling handmade crafts I would love to use my name Nici ( pronounced Nikki) , I am also a Nana and would love to incorporate that into name also I would love to bra your ideas !!! Beautiful work! I love your idea's, so very unique. This hub has so much information and laid out perfectly. Awesome job! Like every MMO trading between servers or even on the same server can be profitable, this however requires you to have a good grasp on local prices which can change swiftly. Also having one of the larger ships is a must. As such trading is best done when you have played the game for some time, built up some contacts and got yourself some silver and a decent ship. Amazing! I learn something new everyday, I had no idea you could do something like this with potatoes! So, there you have it – the best tips when buying silver and gold on E-bay. Empower yourself with these guidelines and you won't go far wrong. Just remember it is a world where the buyer must be aware when it comes to scamming people with counterfeit goods. Jewelry is no exception and is the product of serious organised crime. Don't get ripped off on ebay or any other online or 'over the counter' jewellers. One thing is for sure, counterfeiting precious metals is only going to get worse as the demand for gold and silver increases. This article will illustrate how Costco prices these special sale items and how you can take advantage of the bargains once you understand their system.
I have a few pieces of vintage sterling; my stepdaughter is a metalsmith and works with new Sterling for many of her one-of-a-kind pieces that feature semi-precious stones. I have an old coffee server and my mother-in-law's flatware set. Love it all! So whatever your budget, you can find your perfect piece of Ancient Egyptian jewelry in a jewellers or online. Personalised cartouche pendants, Egyptian scarab beetle charms and Eye of Horus amulets all make wonderful and unusual gifts that will eternally delight your family and friends. Fair trade jewelry. As I mentioned, buyers love this stuff, and you'll love the feeling you get by making money through selling ethical products. I called my mom to ask her about the costume. She thinks I was probably four years old. She says she can remember dressing me up this way, but she doesn't remember many of the details. In the '50s, women wore scarves more than they do today, and obviously we used a few to create my Boho look. My mom didn't wear big, dangly earrings, so I have to think that perhaps she borrowed at least the earrings and possibly some of the other jewelry from a friend or maybe one of my doting aunts. I wish we still had some of those fancy pieces! Oh, this is very important information with so many people getting facial piercings now. Thanks for sharing! Make sure your customers know whether the product listing is for just a necklace (and the other pieces are listed separately), or if it includes the entire necklace-earrings-bracelet set.
The earrings resemble a cup which has been turned upside down. Dimithi earrings have miniature pearls suspending down from it. I've never tried PMC. But it was very interesting visiting the PMC artists' websites you link to, seeing their work and yours. You've created a great resource. Instead of using Alexa, rather when measuring forum success look at length of time since inception, number of posts, average posts per day, hour, minute, number of registered users, how many users online at once, most users ever online, and generally the quality of the posts. The resources included quite a few I wasn't aware of and which seemed useful. Your thorough research can save many of us hours of time in a job search. I have purchased in store and online. Especially at the beginning, I loved to go into a craft store and see the products and feel and see the beads I would purchase. Retail buying of jewelry supplies is a much more expensive prospect and I only use it now if I am running low of a component for a current project. Otherwise, I buy online. If you type 'jewelry making supplies' or 'beading supplies' into a search engine, local online vendors for your jewelry making needs will appear. Be sure to check their shipping and handling fees and custom fees if ordering out of country. Many of the online companies I have checked into have a flat-rate shipping fee which is very helpful for large orders.

Once you get started you will find your way! Good luck.

Foxtel is home to the biggest and best award shows

21-06-2019 12:15 AM - edited 21-06-2019 12:24 AM
like yourself I own a home in a smart community.
unfortunately Foxtel's decision to no longer produce cable hardware was the sole reason we transferred over to satellite, I definitely wouldn't say upgraded.
i also didn't want to be stuck with refurbished iQ2's and iQ3's in the future.
i do like to keep up with the very latest foxtel hardware, which unfortunately wasn't possible as a cable subscriber.
previously we had a cable iQ3, which was very reliable, one of the very few that was out there at the time.
now we have iQ4 Satellite, but I definitely wouldn't say that's an upgrade either.
at best it's a side step away from the iQ3 but not an upgrade, essentially it's just a rebranding of the iQ3 with 4K capability, but that's all.
the 4K offerings are very poor at this time, so definitely no reason to switch for that.
if you don't have any issues with your stable cable velocity service,
I suggest you stick with it, at least until you are left with no other option but to make the switch, unless like me you like to have the very latest foxtel toys in your home.
2023 is still a very long way away and anything could happen between now and then.
i hope this advice helps.
best of luck.

Hi @TD47 ......I'm in a regional area, Qld Sunshine Coast, and my experience with Satellite over the last 6 years has compared favourably with the cable service I had in Sydney. In fact, from time to time the cable would go down because water entered the junction box set into the footpath. I've had pretty much seamless satellite reception. And I'll also put in a good word for the iQ4. It's been a significant improvement over the iQ3 and I have no regrets at making the change. I'm expecting bigger things from the 4K, of course, but I'm sure that Foxtel are working on expanding the facility and I'm patient enough to wait for additional content.
Hi @sinceriously thanks for the useful info. I think I read about cable versus dish boxes being different, but was unaware that they had/were stopping manufacture of the cable ones. It is a great shame, and a backward step, given the technology surrounding fibre these days. As you say, 2023 is a long way off, and a lot can happen in-between.
according to NBN there's nothing stopping foxtel from paying to use their infrastructure to smart communities, they just chose to go with the free option of satellite.
also ceasing the production of the cable hardware has left subscribers with no option.
we never had any cable signal problems in five and half years over optic fibre but I can't say the same for satellite in just four short months,
none of those issues are weather related though, it's all bug related.
i will say the iQ4 response is much faster than iQ3 though, and the picture quality is outstanding, they just need to the overscan issue with SD channels and it will be great.
hopefully the next update won't just be full of fluffy stuff, but they will address the many bug issues.
again my advice is stick with what you've got for now mate, it's miles ahead technology and we paid big $$$ for it in our homes.
keep watching the community feedback from iQ4 satellite subscribers after the next update.
that's the only way to know 100% when it's safe to make the transfer.
thank you for the kind comment by the way, much appreciated.
hi @Anonymous
i'm super happy you're pleased with your iQ4 buddy.
every experience is different as it was with iQ3 I guess.
you got lucky mate.
enjoy your iQ4 goodieness. 🤗
I found your response perfectly fine buddy.
you're a golden asset to the community Mr. 👏👏👏👏
Never forget that. 🤗
keeping it real like you always do. 😇
there's no place for fake here, although unfortunately there's lots of it. 🙈🙉🙊

Voltalia in October said that it has
started construction on the Vila
Acre wind farm in Brazil.
Totaling 27 MW of installed
capacity, the plant will be
equipped with Gamesa turbines.
Voltalia is working with local firms
SIMM and the Mercurius group
for electrical and civil engineering
The Vila Acre wind farm is
expected to be commissioned in
Q317, according to Voltalia.
In related news, Voltalia said
that, as of October, it had commissioned 32 out of the 33 turbines planned for the 99-M W
Vila Para wind farm. The company said that it plans to complete
commissioning ahead of its original date in Q416. ○
Blade repair and inspection firm Altitec has partnered with a leading manufacturer of on- and offshore wind turbines to provide end of warranty (EOW) blade inspections and repairs in the U.K.
and Australia.
Under the terms of the contract, Altitec will pro-vide EOW inspections at 100 sites throughout the U.K.
The company said it has partnered with a Mel-bourne-based distributor to secure the use of Act-Safe Ascenders for efficient and environmental-ly friendly blade access. The use of powered ropeascenders allows Altitec's trained rope access tech-nicians to conduct up to 35 percent more work onaverage than without, boosting the efficiency of thefirm's operations.
"Altitec's unparalleled experience in blade repair
and ability to draw on a well-established network
of ActSafe partners was crucial to securing this
contract," Tom Dyffort, managing director, Altitec
Group, said. "The deal represents a first foray into
the Australian market, and we're looking forward to
further expanding our global reach." ○
Energy reform in Mexico is expected to increase the share of renewables in the power sector and improve economic growth in the coming decades, according to the International Energy Agency.
According to IEA's Mexico Energy Outlook, released in October as
part of IEA's World Energy Outlook, Mexico's innovative auction system provides a substantial boost to Mexico's clean energy efforts in
the power sector. The report found that more than half of the country's new power generation capacity installed between now and 2040
is renewables-based, tapping Mexico's large wind and solar resources.
The reform ends the longstanding dominance of Petróleos Mexicanos in oil and gas, and of the Comisión Federal de Electricidad in the
electricity sector, opening up key parts of the energy sector to new
players, investment and technology.
"This is not a reform, it's a revolution on an unprecedented scale,"
Dr. Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA, said. "This transformation touches every sector of the Mexican energy industry and goes
well beyond. However, let's not underestimate the task ahead. It is
a huge undertaking and there will be challenges but the reform has
made remarkable progress. The government's path forward is the
right one and the IEA stands ready to assist." ○

Technology Tips
Using a Windows 8.1 Computer -published June 2014 in the Guide and Digest
By Don Trauger – Kennett
In the May issue of the Guide & Digest I mentioned 2 items that would help in getting you started with Windows 8.1. This month I'll cover some more points that are explained in the following paragraphs.
Windows 8.1 requires that you learn to right click the mouse. For example, to turn off or restart the computer from the Desktop screen, right click the new Windows 8 Start button, located in the lower left corner of the screen, then move the mouse to "Shut down or sign out" and click either "Shut down" or "Restart". Notice other available options when you right click the Start button, such as the Control Panel and Program & Features. Tap the Windows key on the keyboard and you have instant access to the Live Tiles or Metro look of Windows 8. Click the down arrow in the lower left part of the screen and you can access all the installed programs now called "Apps". Use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the screen to view all the Apps. Tap it again and it goes back to where you were on the Live tile screen, then tap it again and you are back in Desktop mode. Not only have you learned to use the right mouse key, you are also using a previously unused key on the keyboard.
If you would like to put an App on the Task bar of the Desktop you must right click it and click "Pin to taskbar". It will appear on the bar at the bottom of Desktop screen. Placing icons on the Desktop screen is almost as easy. Again, right click the App and click "Open file location". Next, right click the App and move the mouse to "Sent to" and click "Desktop (create shortcut)". If done correctly you will now have an icon on the Desktop screen. After a little work, things will start to look familiar again as they were in the old XP days.
The Charms Bar works in Desktop or Live Tile mode. If you position the mouse in either the extreme upper right or lower right corners you should see 5 icons appear. It can be touchy so be careful as mouse position is all important to make this feature work. However, once the icons appear, run the mouse down to each one to see the description. The Start icon takes you to the Live tile screen and the Settings icon will allow you another way to turn off or restart the computer. To do this click Settings, click Power and make your choice of restarting or turning off the computer.
Windows 8 was updated some time ago to Windows 8.1. If you are still running the old version 8.0, you must go the Windows Store (it's a Live Tile App) and download 8.1 from there. Most new store bought computers are now selling Windows 8.1 so you don't have do that. However, one of the first things you need to do is to update or at least check to see that you have all of the Microsoft updates. Open the Control Panel as described above in the second paragraph, and click System and Security. Click Windows Update, then click "Check for updates". Wait for results then install all important and recommended updates. You will have to restart the computer, then go back and click "Check for updates" again. Repeat a 3rd time if necessary until there are no further updates available. Some of the features I write about will not be available for you until all of the updates are installed.
If you are successful in performing the above, then you are well on your way to operating a windows 8.1 computer. The PC Club meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 PM upstairs in the Ardmore room of the Community Center to help you with Windows 8, 7, Vista, or even good old XP computer problems.

Blood Pressure Home > Diet for Reducing High Blood Pressure
People with high blood pressure (hypertension) may be familiar with the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). This diet involves eating more fish, whole grains, and poultry, while reducing your intake of sweets, red meats, and fats.
Studies have shown that following this diet can decrease the risk of developing high blood pressure and lower an already elevated blood pressure. In fact, two recent research studies have shown that by following a specific diet, blood pressure can be reduced by an amount similar to that seen with medication.

Thanks to its simple principle, the cubes can be configured and designed as desired: as an iconic mini-bar or an elegant sideboard, mounted on the wall or standing on delicate legs, thanks to its haute-couture inspired surface, Pleat becomes a housemate with character, which on top keeps everything in order.
Pleat is produced of the unique and future-oriented wooden material Karuun, based on the raw material rattan, which gains new color and surface characteristics by injecting natural fillers.
Karuun is a sustainable alternative to conventional materials since the rattan palm needs healthy trees to climb on, which leads in the end to rain-forest protection.

Keanu Reeves has confirmed a third 'Bill & Ted' movie is in the works.
The Canadian actor reveals he would be happy to reprise the role of Ted 'Theodore' Logan - a character he first played in 1989 - and admits the original writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon are working on a script.
He told MTV.com: "They're gonna try and see if they can write something. I would love to play the role and I'd love to work with Alex (Bill) and Chris and Ed again."
No possible director or time scale has been announced on the project.
Keanu is currently working on a number of projects, including 'Generation Um...', which tells the tale of a group of friends on a journey of self discovery, and sci-fi movie 'Passengers'.
The first movie in the 'Bill and Ted' series - 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure' - grossed $40.4m, while its 1991 follow-up 'Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey' took $38m.

It breaks my heart. I love her as much as I did when I fell in love with her more than 17 years ago. I love our family and it breaks my heart to see it torn apart this way.
It has been a grueling 16 months. I feel I did all I could to reconcile with her and repair our marriage, but, from what I can tell, her resolve to end it was sure and unwavering from the day she asked for a separation in October 2012.
Meera is moving on with her life, but will continue to share the parenting responsibilities with me. I will continue to do what I can to support her and encourage her when that is welcomed by her and appropriate. I also resolve to give her the space and distance, and try not to impinge on her peace of mind, her freedom to live her life, and fulfill herself according to her needs and desires.
I will continue to keep the lines of communication open to the best of my ability, and strive to understand her needs and feelings when she expresses them, and refrain from imposing my emotional burdens on her.
I will continue to love her, and wish her well. I will strive not to encroach on her life and pursuit of happiness when I'm battling with my own demons.
I will continue to honor, and love, and respect, and admire her. Meeting her, the good years we shared together, the creation and nurturing of our beautiful children, have been the most fulfilling and wonderful experiences of my life, and I will always cherish the blessings Meera's brilliant and generous soul have brought me.

There are two versions of HRM. The hard version lays stress on the quantitative, calculative and business strategic aspects of managing the headcounts resource in as rational a way as for any other economic factor.
By contrast, the soft version traces its roots to the human relations schools; it emphasises communication, motivation and leadership.
Both versions share the key elements of the new paradigm: that the organisations are under pressure to rethink their approach to managing people; that they should be seeking a better fit between their human resource strategies and business strategies and that they should change their practice.
However, the two versions differ fundamentally in their views on the direction that this transformation should take. The soft version involves a range of specific policies and practices which are essentially people-centred. The hard version admits anything that fits the business strategy.

Casey Dreier • May 05, 2017
The President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017, funding the U.S. government for the remainder of the fiscal year. NASA got a boost to $19.65 billion, and its Planetary Science Division saw a budget increase to $1.846 billion—its best budget in more than ten years.
Bill Gowan • January 12, 2017
Last February, a group called the Space Exploration Alliance held their annual "legislative blitz," walking the halls of Congress to sway lawmakers toward increased support for NASA's 2017 budget.
Casey Dreier • December 09, 2016
Congress stands ready to punt on NASA's budget, meaning the space program will have to operate on a short budgetary leash until April of next year.
Casey Dreier • May 24, 2016
Commerce, Justice, and Science—the House of Representatives' subcommittee that oversees NASA spending—just released details on how they would fund the space agency in 2017. Overall, the news for the space program is very good.
Casey Dreier • April 26, 2016
The Senate has released its draft of NASA's 2017 budget which, despite increasing NASA's top-line by $300 million, would cut $270 million from the Planetary Science Division. Here's why we shouldn't worry—yet.
Van Kane • March 21, 2016
This past week brought to the fore two challenges for NASA's managers as they try to enable the richest possible mix of coming planetary missions. At stake are whether the agency will be able to select two Discovery missions from the current competition, and whether there will be the possibility of a mission selected for Enceladus and/or Titan in the next decade.
Van Kane • February 18, 2016
It's clear that the President's budget officers really don't want to fund a mission to Europa. Other than that, the proposed Fiscal Year 2017 budget submitted by the President last week to Congress would be great for planetary exploration.
Casey Dreier • February 16, 2016
We provide you the gritty budget breakdown by program and mission for NASA's Planetary Science Division.
Casey Dreier • February 09, 2016
There are few surprises in the Obama Administration's final budget proposal for NASA, though some progress is made in critical areas like science funding and NASA's overall funding.
Casey Dreier • February 08, 2016
NASA's 2017 budget request comes out on Tuesday, here's how you can evaluate if the budget for the Planetary Science Division is good or not. It's not just about 2017, but the next five years.
Casey Dreier • February 04, 2016
The 2017 budget season is almost here. Next week, the White House will release its budget request for NASA. Here are three things I will immediately look for upon its release.

Filters - Cartridge
Complete cartridge filters for inground pools, aboveground pools and spas, from Hayward, Pentair and Sta-Rite.
For best results, we recommend Cartridge filters have at least 100 square foot of surface area, per 10,000 gallons of pool water. It's always best to buy on the larger end of the range; you'll never regret having bought a larger cartridge pool filter!
Pool cartridge filters are easy to install because there is no bulky backwash valve to contend with, just one inlet port and one outlet port, either 1.5" or 2" in size. Filters should be mounted on a solid concrete base or platform with adequate space around and above for ease of service.

Last term, the Year 10 Christmas Post raised a grand total of £1,039.70 for this year's chosen charity, Contact the Elderly. The Year 10 girls' efforts in creating amusing and original sketches to perform on stage and their dedication in running cake and sweet sales, delivering Christmas cards across the school, and even spreading festive cheer with singing telegrams was all rewarded with generous contributions to the cause from the rest of the Girls' Division.
Gwen Lightfoot, the charity's Development Officer for Greater Manchester and Merseyside, and Joan Anderson, the Area Coordinator for Bolton, joined the girls in morning assembly to accept the donation.
The Year 10 girls and Mrs Entwistle explained a little more about Contact the Elderly and why it is needed. Nearly half of older people say they experience loneliness, but four in five people aged over eighty-five haven't even told their own children. This is a huge problem for the country's aging population.
Contact the Elderly was founded in 1965, and is the only national charity solely focused on targeting loneliness and isolation among the elderly. With the help of volunteers, monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties are organised for small groups of older people, helping to bring individuals together and create friendships that are fulfilling to everyone involved. The girls were also shown a short video about the experiences of older people who attend Contact the Elderly tea parties and the volunteer hosts and drivers, which really highlighted what a great difference the charity makes.
The Year 10 girls were inspired to help Contact the Elderly after hearing about it from Molly Marshall, a girl in Year 10 who already volunteers with the charity. Thanks to their hard work, and the generosity of other year groups, the girls were able to cheque for £1,039.70 to the Contact the Elderly representatives.
Addressing all of the girls, Ms Lightfoot said, "Thank you for all the hard work that has gone into raising this money. However, this is not only about raising money, but also the fact that the word about Contact the Elderly is getting out there, especially to young people like yourselves."
She went on to talk about how the girls will be the next generation of volunteers whose help will be needed. She also reiterated the idea from the video that the social contact at the tea parties means so much to the older people, but also to the volunteers.
This was a fantastic achievement for the girls to have raised so much money, which will go back into arranging more tea parties and setting up new groups to enjoy one another's company.

what does the cervix look like? October 7, 2008Posted by guinever in doula, health, midwifery, pregnancy.
Tags: cervical, cervix, fertile fluid, fertile mucous, follicular, luteal, menstrual, os, ovulation, TTC
Ever wonder what your cervix looks like? Or the changes it goes through during your monthly cycle? Wonder no more. My beautiful cervix has a color photo of the cervix for every day during a 33 day cycle.
You'll see the obvious changes that cervical fluid goes through from the dry, tacky, non-fertile discharge to the clear, slippery fertile fluid. Note the positional and color changes of the os. See the cervix during the follicular, ovulation and luteal phases of a woman's menstrual cycle.

Your entire presentation is awesome, Lot of us are not able to understand the graphics of it all however the photo of each step by step moment helps. I wanted to say you are smart and brilliant and have made a medical break through with this. Thank you so much for sharing. Both make a great couple.
Dear Kim, thanks so much for your kinds words. Please note that the photos that I link to on this page are not mine=) I am linking to a different website. ~blessings, Guinever
- 2. Nicole - November 8, 2008
I have to say…stumbled onto this site while trying to educate myself. Thought it was extremely educational. I also believe the photos of your cervix was amazing. Thanks for doing that…really.
Nicole, thanks so much. these are pretty great, aren't they? FYI, I had nothing to do with the photos of the cervix…I'm just linking to them! ~blessings, Guinever

I do spend time each weekend planning my week's menu and activities based on my monthly web plan. The monthly web plan is determined by daily observations of things the children are interested in.
It is very important to understand that the plan is not set in stone. If during the week I notice that one child is very interested in Gorilla's for instance I will ensure that I add books/ stories / field trips in the next week's activities. Centres are open for children to participate in at all times.
I create the plan but allow the children to lead us to where they want to go. Certain things are non-negotiable such as washing hands before eating and after going to the washroom or holding on to the stroller as we walk to the park.

2 parts carrots
1 part lactofermented beets You may substitute pickled beets, but then it won't be probiotic
1 part fresh dill
extra virgin olive oil to taste
lactofermented beet juice to taste
Directions: Slice carrots lengthwise into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces. Slice them again crossways into 1/4 inch pieces. Slice lactofermented beets into pieces about the same size as the carrots. Chop up the fresh dill. Combine all ingredients, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and lactofermented beet juice. Toss so everything is evenly coated. Enjoy!

Water & Transportation
Nothing is harder on concrete than water, weather, and wheels. EdenCrete's® Low Permeability and Abrasion Resistance makes it the ideal choice for water distribution, including spillways, bridges, and reservoirs. A denser concrete bond throughout the structure reduces water absorption, preventing both cracking and steel corrosion.
When it comes to improving highway construction, EdenCrete® delivers superior Abrasion Resistance to surfaces, greatly reducing abrasions, impact craters and general wear. In the Georgia Department of Transportation highway field tests, EdenCrete® helped boost abrasive resistance for GDOT Class 24-Hour Accelerated Concrete by 58%.
Industrial & Precast
For Industrial projects or precast structures that require exacting formulations and exceptionally strong concrete slabs to stand up to the harshest conditions and loads, EdenCrete® can improve the following properties of your concrete as indicated*. Reducing Shrinkage by 39%. Increasing Abrasive Resistance by 58%. Reducing Permeability by 54% Increasing Compressive Strength by 41%. Increasing Tensile by Strength by 46%. Increasing Flexural Strength by 32%. One admixture. Multiple strength gains.
*Mix design (i.e., EdenCrete® dosage) dependent
Construction & Roadways
Because carbon nanotubes are many times lighter and stronger than steel, EdenCrete® is the ideal additive for increasing the tensile and flexural strength for concrete beams, walls, and suspension slabs needed for buildings.s have been able to reduce or even eliminate the need for some reinforced steel, as well as reduce the cost of poured slabs by 45% without impacting the overall integrity of the structure.
Roadways wear better and last longer with greater Abrasion Resistance and greatly Reduced Permeability and Shrinkage. In the Georgia Department of Transportation highway field tests, EdenCrete® helped boost abrasive resistance for GDOT Class 24-Hour Accelerated Concrete by 58%.
Increase in Abrasion Resistance
Increase in Compressive Strength
Increase in Tensile Strength
EdenCrete® is a proprietary formula that's proven to dramatically outperform other admixtures in both laboratory and field tests. It optimizes tensile and compressive strength while maintaining compatibility with other properties.
If your goal is to produce high-quality concrete, we'd love to speak to you about how EdenCrete® can optimize your current arsenal of concrete mixes.
