(Bart and Ron Wood in Checotah)
BART (Big Astronomical Reflecting Telescope) is a 24-inch, f/5, equatorial, fork mounted, Newtonian telescope. It is integrally mounted on its own two wheeled trailer to be towed on the highway. It was built in 1992 near Checotah, Oklahoma by several members of the Tuva Astronomy Organization under the direction of Byron Melland. It is the second of two such scopes built by Byron; the first, built in 1982, is named Mira and was a project of the Pomona Valley Amateur Astronomers club. The building of Mira is extensively described in Volume #17 of Amateur Telescope Making and is also pictured on page 82 of the August 1982 issue of Sky and Telescope magazine.
Like Mira, BART has homemade components and is largely made of salvaged materials. In fact at the 1994 Texas Star Party BART was the award winner in the best-use-of-materials category, the same award won by Mira in the 80's at the Riverside Telescope Makers Convention in California.
The axel, wheels and torsion bar were salvaged from the rear of a Renault Alliance, the spindle and bearings from an eighteen wheeler became the polar axis and the two rear legs which provide stable support when the trailer is jacked up for use were cut from an automobile drive shaft.. The fork and trailer superstructure were fabricated from heavy rectangular steel tubing and the mirror box from sheet steel. The serrier truss assembly is made of one-inch aluminum tubing which was one of the more expensive material costs. The homemade reflex finder operates on the same principle as the common commercial Telrad and works equally well. The focuser, also homemade, is a modified Crayford design with a 3-inch diameter copper drawtube found at the plumbing supply. Focusing is extremely smooth and precise. The spider and the 18 point flotation mirror cell are also homemade, simple and effective.
Bart has an unusual drive which is patented by Byron. It is very accurate and easy to construct requiring only one precision part which by a clever technique was fabricated using only hand tools and a machinist's dial indicator. Furthermore it is a friction drive eliminating the need to fumble in the dark trying to tighten and loosen clutches such as are used on most commercial scopes.
The drive uses a surplus one rpm synchronous motor costing six dollars at a surplus outlet. Gearing down the motor was easily accomplished using only a few pieces from a large $50 box of assorted gears. The output shaft was fitted with a chain sprocket driving a Walls #35 chain which fits like a saddle around the smooth edge of a 1/4 inch thick steel disk mounted on the polar axis. When the telescope is slewed the disk slips inside the chain but otherwise the friction between chain and disk is sufficient to drive the scope. The diameter of the steel disk was chosen so that it perfectly matched the output speed of the driving chain sprocket to give the desired one revolution per day final drive rate. Note that this approach allows great flexibility in choosing gears for the drive train.
The steel disk was rough cut by a commercial shop to within .1 inch of the desired radius. It was then mounted on the scope and the fork arms without the mirror box were turned by one person while another ground the disk to the desired radius which was monitored by repeated measurements of the circumference. A temporary bracket helped steady the hand grinder and also held a machinist's dial indicator showing the variation in the radius as the disk was turned and ground. By this means it was possible to slowly reduce the radius to the desired value and achieve a variation of only .003 inches. John Dobson who is not known for liking powered scopes, inspected Mira at Riverside and pronounced it the best clock driven scope he had seen.
The paraboloidal mirror for BART is 24-inches in diameter, 2 inches thick, weighs 62 lbs. and has a focal length of 120 inches. It was produced by Paul Jones of Star Instruments in Flagstaff Arizona and was recently given an enhanced aluminum coating by Galaxy Optics in Buena Vista, Colorado. It is supported by an 18 point flotation mirror cell and is held in place by an aluminum plug fitted through a hole in the center of the mirror. The plug is wrapped with Teflon tape and has a flange on top to prevent the mirror from falling forward when the scope is in a horizontal position. The mirror remains in position when traveling and rarely needs collimation.

Thursday, Jun 6, 1991
South San Francisco, Calif. -- June 6, 1991 --Genentech, Inc. (NYSE: GNE) today announced its heart attack drug t-PA has been approved for marketing by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare for acute myocardial infarction. Product shipments from Genentech to its licensees in Japan already have begun.
Under the Japanese health care system, before a product can be marketed, its price must be established by the National Health Insurance System. The NHI has set the price for t-PA at approximately $2,250 U.S. (Y315,000) for a 40 mg dose, a price which reflects the value of t-PA as determined by that government agency. The drug had been approved March 29 by Koseishio, the Japanese equivalent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Both the NHI and Koseishio are part of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Known as Activase® in the United States, t-PA will be marketed by Mitsubishi Kasei Corp. as GRTPATM and by Kyowa Hakko Co. Ltd. as Activacin?. Both Mitsubishi and Kyowa Hakko are large companies with long-established pharmaceutical divisions. Mitsubishi will co-market GRTPA with Tanabe Seiyaku, an Osaka-based pharmaceutical company which will provide Mitsubishi with additional sales and marketing resources.
Acute myocardial infarction strikes approximately 140,000 people each year in Japan, although the market size for t-PA in Japan is not known. t-PA dissolves the clots of patients who are having heart attacks; it has been used to treat more than 250,000 patients since it was approved in the United States in 1987. There are three other approved thrombolytic agents in Japan: a recombinant t-PA product marketed by Toyobo, urokinase, and a non-recombinant t-PA for intracoronary use. Two U.S.-approved thrombolytics, streptokinase and APSAC, have not been approved in Japan.
Kyowa Hakko and Mitsubishi will perform final manufacturing and packaging of t-PA in addition to marketing. Both companies have been responsible for the development of t-PA in Japan as Genentech co-licensees since 1982.
Genentech has filed a number of patent applications in Japan for t-PA. To protect its licensees, Genentech filed suit alleging patent infringement against Toyobo, which is a licensee of U.S.-based Genzyme Corp., and against Sumitomo, licensee of the Wellcome Foundation. Genentech believes the courts will uphold its patents.
t-PA joins Genentech products previously approved and now marketed through licensees in Japan, including human insulin, human growth hormone, and alpha interferon. Genentech, Inc. is a biotechnology company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human pharmaceuticals for significant medical needs.

Question : How accurate are love psychic readings?
I was told by some psychics that a relationship wouldn't' work out. I've been told by some that it would, but I need to give him time to get his things in order. All of them agree that he loves me very much but he is afraid to express it, but I just don't know. No I wont live my life based off of what they say it's still my decision, but just curious if these are fairly easy readings and very accurate. BTW- none of the psychics asked me for anymore information than d.o.b. & names.
Answer by kyle arendt
What do you think? 0%.
Answer by Gwyn
Honestly, it's just a reading, they're not GOD so how can you be sure their words are absolutely certain? It's like 50/50. I suggest you use your own intuition to ask your higher self or your guides or angels for things you want to know especially if those people ask for money, I can't help thinking it's a sham or something….of if you found authentic psychics they may really be good but were not able to t really help solve your problems, within you, you can find the answers. The best thing you can do for yourself is try harder, communicate more, show him that you care, if in the end, things still didn't work out, you will have no regrets because you can say to yourself that you did your best.
Answer by snicker lover
You seem to be having a lot of psychic readings and I'm not sure how beneficial that is in the long run, when you are getting different types of opinions (lets face it that's what they are).
I agree with this assessment of love psychic readings and why you have to be careful before you seek help from them with relationships.
Question : Is there a way to get free phone psychic readings?
Embarrassing as it may be, I am curious about how accurate psychic readings are and was looking to try it out for free. Anyone know how I can get free phone psychic readings?
Answer by Slam J
Did a quick search and found a page that seems to have a few answers. Basically you can use referals to get credits, call in to a show when a psychic is featured, or get single answer free calls. see source for further details.
Answer by Vadis
It's kind of impossible.
That's how they make their money. I also think it is ridiculous that they will charge several dollars for a minute and talk for several minutes. Not even calling to other countries on a phone card is that expensive.
Question : Has anybody had extremely accurate psychic readings done to them?
I had one done last night and it shocked me. She was pretty accurate on a lot of things although al ot of ppl say they were vague and broad statements. I still think they were accurate. If you know someone in the austin, tx area that would be awesome…
Answer by S`A`N`D
Vague and broad statements aren't accurate. Accuracy is pinpointed. I went to a psychic once a few years ago, and it was vague and broad. She was full of sh**.
Answer by lala
Yes it did happen to me many times ; and she was very accurate ; the first time i went to see a psychic ; I was 15 yrs [ Right now I am in my sixties ] I sat and she start right away ; she said ;; you willl get married in your 23 yrs and wil have 7 kids and you will own your first house within 3 ys of your marriage and your future husband will have dark hair and brown eyes and you will be happy in your marriage life ; she also told me other things but it will be to long here ; and yes I got married at 23 and yes we had 7 kids and its Yes for everything else I mentioned ; remember I was just 15 yrs old so yes some physic a really good

Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are among the major health problems in the developing world. Women of childbearing age as well as children are the most vulnerable population groups. In Rwanda, more than 40% of the population is estimated to be anemic. A promising approach to combat iron deficiency in Rwanda is biofortification of beans. The average consumption of beans is about 150 g per person per day in Rwanda and beans are a major staple food. Traditional plant breeding has increased the iron content of certain bean varieties from about 5 to 11 mg/100g. Iron absorption from beans however is with about 2-3% low because of high phytate and high polyphenol contents. A recently conducted study in Rwanda showed that the total amount of iron absorbed from a biofortified high iron bean was similar to the amount of iron absorbed from a control bean, which had a 50% lower iron concentration. This was surprising since the subjects had a low iron status and where therefore expected to maximize iron absorption. However, it was concluded that the additional iron bred into the bean was not bioavailable most likely due to the strong inhibitory nature of phytate in the high iron bean. To clarify that, a multiple meal study (iron absorption study) in collaboration of the Human Nutrition Laboratory of ETH Zurich and the Medical Faculty of the National University of Rwanda is planned. Subjects will receive two different bean varieties (normal iron vs. high iron) in combination with other food ingredients typical for that region. The bean varieties will be served with native phytate concentration, partially dephytinized (50%) or totally dephytinized.
Subjects will be apparently healthy females of reproductive age (18-30y). Iron absorption will be determined by stable isotope techniques.

Cardi B is making more than just money moves these days. She recently dropped her first album Invasion of Privacy after making a long run on the top charts which seems to have the agenda of pushing women empowerment.
With features from Migos (of course), Chance the Rapper, Kehlani, 21 Savage, YG, and SZA, this album is a BANGER.
To start the 13-track bundle of badness, her first song "Get Up 10" tells her story of how she grew up in a situation where she had no money, was in an abusive relationship, and her decision to strip to get out of her situation and pay for her future lifestyle. Throughout her own struggles, she did not give up as she raps, "We gon' win, knock me down nine times but I get up ten".
She started out there, but has since come a long way due to her fame. She is no longer in that position, but a lot of other women out there are and she is using her musical outlet as a platform to let women know that there is hope out there and you don't need to rely on others to build your own success.
This seems to be the main theme here. And although throughout her album, she enjoys rapping about materialistic things such as jewelry, designer clothes, and fake boobs, she isn't afraid to stress that she achieved all of that because she is a real, genuine person.
I like going to the jeweler, I put rocks all in my watch/I like texts from my exes when they want a second chance/I like proving niggas wrong, I do what they say I can't
– "I Like It" by Cardi B featuring Bad Bunny & J. Balvin
And it was her own story that shaped her to be the woman she is today. She shows that it is possible to get through rough times and if you work hard and let the BS fuel you, then you will overcome challenges and no one can take your successes away from you. She is really living her best life and Chance agrees taking into consideration his own struggles along the way. On her track "Best Life" with Chance The Rapper, we have seen both of them recently blow up and they both just want to share their happiness.
Said I'm livin' my best life, Made a couple M's with my best friends/Turned all my L's into lessons/You see the whip pullin' up, it's like "skrrt"/Dreams pullin' up, I'm like "skrrt"/I'm livin' my best life
– "Best Life" by Cardi B featuring Chance the Rapper
Cardi B has achieved some accolades in the music industry such as becoming the first woman with five simultaneous Top 10 hits in the R&B and Hip Hop genres. However, with Invasion of Privacy she clearly wants everyone to know that she is not a one hit wonder.
With a variety of styles from her usual rapping in head-bobbers like "Money Bag", her radio hit "Bartier Cardi", "Drip" (featuring Migos), "Bickenhead", to rapping over Latin/Trap tunes like "I Like It" (featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin), to showing fans her softer side in "Be Careful", and showing emotional vulnerability that many can relate to with "Ring" (featuring Kehlani) and "Thru Your Phone", Cardi B has money and tricks in her pockets.
I don't wanna hear 'bout invasion of privacy/I had a feeling, it turns out you lie to me/I'm holdin' back everything that's inside of me/How you all fuckin' with bitches that follow me?
– "Ring" by Cardi B featuring Kehlani
Even in this body-rockin' beat in "She Bad" with YG, Cardi B gives a shout out to some women idols in the industry showing her love.
I need Chrissy Teigen/Know a bad bitch when I see one (yeah, woo)/Tell Rih-Rih I need a threesome/I'm his favorite type of chick, boujee, bad, and thick (uh)
-"She Bad" by Cardi B featuring YG

Cheddar biscuits and crab bisque. Bisquits! Bad bitches make bisque!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/QtUyBxDbkC
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) April 6, 2018
Through this rollercoaster ride of emotional ups and downs, track 13, "I Do" (featuring SZA) seems to sum it all up. Overall, Cardi B explains that sometimes as women, we just want to express how we feel, flaunt our style, money, and just do whatever the hell we want, with or without anyone else's judgement.

The act of making art for me has much to do with my struggle and desire for the home. I often feel caught in between different places, primarily Korea and the United States, and I find it difficult to define what home is, because I am always moving. Wherever I go, I am present there. Home for me has become a verb: not stable and sensitive. Snails were intriguing to me because they are constantly carrying a shell, a form of architecture, their bodily home.
The slowness and vulnerability of snails are quite similar to human beings. Carl Jung stated that snails were representative of the self in dreams. In psychology, the soft insides are similar to the subconscious, as the shell might represent the conscious. Snails to me represent an inner battle within people of this contemporary society. Because we live in an incredibly fast paced culture that encourage and require people to have confidence and strength, there is seldom any room for failure and doubt, even though these are essential elements in life and absolutely necessary for growth. Through the subject of the snail, I try to grasp and come into terms with these questions of existence and to find refuge from these societal standards. I desire to find a form of release and emancipation from these pressures by making the snail as the subject of my work. It is through the detachment of seeing people personified as snails that I desire to inspire people to be more self-aware, to pause and reflect. The snail also represents a specific time and place- they are not seen in cities very often because of the pollution. Snails then create nostalgia for a segment of our life when we did see them in the ground. The snail therefore, gives us an opportunity to reflect about the past and about our inner selves. Also, for me to create work about snails and to make what has become quite invisible to be visible is to create a safe space for the invisible parts of ourselves to find a safe haven. A safe place for these fragile lives to be seen, remembered and finally, healed and overcome. This is the reason that I take what is vulnerable and make them as invulnerable, and what is slow to be incredibly fast, swift and free in its movement.

1961 Porsche Emory 356 Notchback Outlaw by Hunting Ridge Motors
- August 14, 2019
- Posted by Simon Streich
1961 Porsche 356 Notchback Outlaw by Emory Motorsports. This was Rod's personal race car for several years. Rod set several track records while driving this car. He told me that it was the most aerodynamic 356 that he has driven and was one of his favorite builds.
It is currently set up as a track/street car with an emphasis on track. It can easily be converted to a more street friendly car if so desired. It is road legal and comes with a California title.
The car was built by Emory in 2004. At the time, it was a no expense spared build. It remains today a competitive Vintage car that is a front runner, reliable and easy to drive.
The engine is a 1620cc Porsche engine built by Ecurie Engineering. It features an NOS case, Scott Billet crankshaft, Carillo Rods, Elgin full race cam, Escure pistons and heads with a 12:1 compression ratio, Solex 40P11 Carbs, 180mm lightened flywheel with Kennedy clutch, a fresh top end with new rings and a competitive valve job. The transaxle is a 741/2 with a GT Limited Slip and close ratio gears. It also is fitted with a dual master cylinder, full roll cage, fire system, Nardi Leather detachable steering wheel, Sparco drivers seat, Schroth Hanns harness, Mahle Gas Burner Lightweight Alloy wheels, Yokohama A048 Tires, Adjustable QA1 Shocks, Z bar, Wright spindles, corner balanced, lightweight windows, aluminum hood and louvered rear decklid.
The build quality is exceptional as are the gaps on the car. It is a typical Emory build with all of Rod's exceptionally inventive and functional ideas incorporated throughout the car. It surely will not disappoint.

A husband and wife are shaken and stirred when their 30-year marriage hits the rocks of infidelity in "For Worse," a new play presented by the New Jersey Repertory Company, which lately seems to be absorbed with the topic of marital discord.
Three other works regarding troubled couples have been introduced by New Jersey Rep in the last year to its audiences in Long Branch.
This latest study in connubial anxiety is written by Deborah Rennard, who gets "For Worse" off to a fast start in the moments immediately after Peter tells Karen, his wife, that he has been having an affair. While the sobbing Karen recoils, the audience learns that the couple are the well-to-do owners of an art gallery in Manhattan and have raised three grown daughters.
Lucia, the tempestuous 26-year-old art student with whom Peter has been betraying his wife for three years, is depicted as goading her lover to confess this liaison because she desires him entirely for herself.
Karen quickly dries her tears, however. She decides to forgive Peter, even as he declares himself unworthy of her devotion and admits to many previous affairs. Somehow their conversation proves so stimulating that Peter and Karen soon tear off their clothes to enjoy the best sex they have had in years.
Vexed at the possibility that Peter and Karen may reconcile, Lucia arrives later that evening to confront her vacillating lover and his steadfast wife.
Let's not divulge further details about the plot except to note that as the second act begins, one of these characters is discovered the next morning in a hospital bed.
A slender piece that uneasily shifts between drama and comedy and is largely devoid of effective humor, "For Worse" proves to be the story of two women who are inexplicably in love with a stinker. As the story proceeds, it quickly becomes obvious that the irresolute and utterly selfish Peter is a chronic liar and a moral coward.
Of course, dramatizing such a double mistake in female judgment might make for an amusing comedy.
Ms. Rennard, an actor who lately has begun writing plays, is best known for her role in the television series "Dallas," in which for 10 years she portrayed Sly Lovegren, the loyal secretary of the oil baron J. R. Ewing. Since J. R. was among the most charismatic of scoundrels, one might think that Ms. Rennard learned something from that series about depicting a dubious character in an appealing fashion.
Unfortunately, the playwright neglects to provide Peter with the slightest smidgen of personal charm or smarts or sexual magnetism that would make him such catnip for Karen and Lucia.
For that matter, none of the play's characters are persuasively written. The plucky Karen's extreme patience with Peter's faithless conduct and shilly-shallying ways seems beyond miraculous. Lucia is more or less simply rendered as an Italian-accented virago. A fourth character, Ashley, who is Peter's young assistant at the gallery, appears only fleetingly in order to underscore her boss's cheating nature.
Evan Bergman, the director, encourages his actors to interpret the text as lightly and quickly as possible. The speed with which they deliver the dialogue lends effervescence to their performances, which is helpful in making the audience overlook the play's deficiencies. A particular asset for this world premiere is the attractive wardrobe provided by Michael Bevans, the costume designer, who dresses the characters insightfully.
Ed Kershen initially portrays the philandering Peter with an easy sense of confidence that amusingly turns squirmy and eventually gets beleaguered as the man is forced to reluctantly explain his many falsehoods to his wife and mistress. An airy presence, Kristin Griffith puts a usually cheerful face upon her genteel Karen, whose triumph in the play's final moments seems well won. Angie Tennant has little to do as Ashley, but Daniela Mastropietro punctuates Lucia's speeches with sharp intakes and explosions of breath that indicate her fiery temperament.
"For Worse" certainly could be better as a play, but there is no faulting the good production that it gets in Long Branch.

It's less soupy if you combine the salt and cabbage in a collendar and let it sit over a bowl for an hour to let the cabbage give up it's water before adding the other ingredients. Cabbage will give up a lot of water.

I think KFC's coleslaw is the best one from a fast food restaurant and this recipe was very close in flavor. Did use a package of coleslaw mix with the red cabbage and onion powder instead of the minced onion. Refrigerated overnight and stirred occasionally until served the next day.

After two wins from both the Plaintiff and the Defense side; the Hopatcong High School Mock Trial team concluded its season on January 22nd with a close loss to Kittatinny. Working extremely hard to get to where they were this season, the team enjoyed one of their most successful years.
Mock Trial team is split into two teams, the Plaintiff and the Defense. The case this year related to the death of a show dog, and the owner suing the pet product company that was believed to kill the dog. The competition was originally scheduled for late December, but it was pushed back due to Hurricane Sandy. During this time; however, the Hopatcong team lost about 2 weeks of practice. Because of this, when school was back in session, they ended up practicing 2-3 times a week, including Saturdays. After all the practices, the competition was set to begin, and the Plaintiff was first up.
The Plaintiff consists of the Lawyers, seniors Noel Diez and Courtney Wiseman, and the Witness's, Melissa Valle, Laura Willis, and James Vilardo. They put up a strong case against Vernon's Defense and came home with the win. Next up was the Defense side for Hopatcong.
The Defense contains Lawyers, Alex Lekhtman and Janine Munoz and Witnesses, Jake Parisi, Andre Tan and Mike Kelly. They dominated Wallkill Valley's Plaintiff or as Mr. Donald P. Hogan, esq. the Lawyer Supervisor would say, "they buried 'em". At the end, Hopatcong's Defense came up with another win; a win that would send Hopatcong into the next round of competition.
This next round would see Hopatcong's Plaintiff against Kittatinny's Defense. After a well fought case, the judges gave the win to the Defense. But not before the judge said, "The side that won only won by a few points." Even after the match was over, the judge told the coach, Mrs. Heather Delbagno, how close it actually was.
Delbagno, who has now been the coach of Hopatcong's Mock Trial team for 10 years, coaches the team with the assistance of Lawyer supervisor, Mr. Hogan. When Delbagno was asked how she thought the season went, she replied, "I'm very proud of the team. They did a tremendous job. This is the second time in my 10 years of coaching that we have been to the finals".
When asked about next year, since the majority of the team is seniors, she said, "I'm sad to see the seniors go, but I'm encouraged that there is a lot of talent from the underclassmen on the team."

Creating a country imbued with a scientific culture was Jawaharlal Nehru's dream, and immediately after independence he prepared a grand design to achieve it. Among the temples of modern India which he designed, was a centre of excellence in the medical sciences. Nehru's dream was that such a centre would set the pace for medical education and research in Southeast Asia , and in this he had the wholehearted support of his Health Minister, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur.
The health survey and development committee ,chaired by Sir Joseph Bhore, an Indian Civil Servant ,had in 1946 already recommended the establishment of a national medical centre which would concentrate on meeting the need for highly qualified manpower to look after the nation's expanding health care activities . The dreams of Nehru and Amrit Kaur and the recommendations of the Bhore Committee converged to create a proposal which found favor with the government of New Zealand. A generous grant from New Zealand under the Colombo Plan made it possible to lay the foundation stone of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in 1952.The AIIMS was finally created in 1956,as an autonomous institution through an Act of Parliament ,to serve as a nucleus for nurturing excellence in all aspect of health care.
All-India Institute of Medical Sciences was established as an institution of national importance by an Act of Parliament with the objects to develop patterns of teaching in Undergraduate and Post-graduate Medical Education in all its branches so as to demonstrate a high standard of Medical Education in India; to bring together in one place educational facilities of the highest order for the training of personnel in all important branches of health activity; and to attain self-sufficiency in Post-graduate Medical Education.
The Institute has comprehensive facilities for teaching, research and patient-care. As provided in the Act, AIIMS conducts teaching programs in medical and para-medical courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and awards its own degrees. Teaching and research are conducted in 42 disciplines. In the field of medical research AIIMS is the lead, having more than 600 research publications by its faculty and researchers in a year. AIIMS also runs a College of Nursing and trains students for B.Sc.(Hons.) Nursing post-certificate) degrees.
Twenty-five clinical departments including four super specialty centers manage practically all types of disease conditions with support from pre- and Para-clinical departments. However, burn cases, dog-bite cases and patients suffering from infectious diseases are not entertained in the AIIMS Hospital. AIIMS also manages a 60-beded hospital in the Comprehensive Rural Health Centre at Ballabgarh in Haryana and provides health cover to about 2.5 lakh population through the Centre for Community Medicine.

People will notice your skin right away. The condition of your skin can affect your self-esteem as well as your self-image. The focus of this article is to give you insight about things you can do to make your skin look youthful and vibrant.
There is no need to spend money in the store for a facial mask, make one at home. Simply combine milk, olive oil, and ground almonds until you get a paste. Add a little ground orange peel. Apply this to your face and have it set for 15 minutes. Then, wash it off your face gently and rub ice over your skin.
Use a a sunscreen of at least 15 SPF to protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun which can damage your skin. Sunscreen helps prevent wrinkles, sunburns and peeling skin. Wearing sunscreen daily can prevent aging and the development of fine lines and wrinkles, and keep your skin looking young and healthy.
Make sure you drink ample amounts of water each day, in order to attain and keep healthy skin. Your skin reflects what's going on inside your body, and keeping your body hydrated and flushed of impurities can transform the look and general health of your skin. Try to drink at least 64 fluid ounces of water each day to keep hydrated. You'll see the difference in your skin.
An important vitamin for healthy skin is Vitamin H. Taking this vitamin results in a healthy, radiant appearance. Also, vitamin H works to smooth the skin, giving it an even, beautiful look. While it's something that's hard to believe, you can use vitamins to have healthier skin.
When putting sunscreen on your face, use a sponge to apply it. It will allow you to ensure that your whole face is covered, but with a thin layer of sunscreen. Also you will be able to penetrate the skin deeper.
There are a lot of different options available to anyone suffering from age spots on their face caused by sun damage. Some such techniques include chemical peels and dermabrasion. They can be used with other treatments or alone. In addition to the ideas previously mentioned, you could also try a vitamin C infused facial or alpha hydroxyl acids.
Olive Oil
Utilizing olive oil to care for your skin is not a new concept. The cosmetic and healthful properties of olive oil have made it a common skin care product for hundreds of years, even as far back as the ancient Egyptian Empire. This is an ingredient that is beneficial and tasty as well. Olive oil helps create a radiant complexion, soft skin and helps brittle nails. Another application of olive oil is in hair care. It imparts shine to the hair, and it works as a deep conditioner for both the hair and scalp.
Being gentle is key when addressing skin care. If you shower or bathe in water that is too warm, some of the natural oils found in your skin will be stripped away. Therefore, it is important to regulate the temperature. When you're done, don't rub your skin too hard. Patting yourself dry still removes the excess water, and leaves your skin with enough moisture to stay healthy.
If you're following these tips, you'll have softer, younger, and healthier skin that will last forever. It makes you look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside.

After undergoing a scan, the centre-back posted a comment on his Instagram account, which read: "I have strained my ligaments in my ankle which means I will be out for 10 days.
"Absolutely gutted, but will be giving everything to get back playing."
A brief statement from the Blues announced: "John Terry's injury suffered in Sunday's game at Swansea is strained ligaments in his foot. He will be out for approximately 10 days.

SAN FRANCISCO -- During a panel session on blockchain technology at the latest Payments Innovation Alliance meeting, the topic of standards for the innovative technology came up. While some attendees were skeptical that banks could come up with workable standards for blockchain in a reasonable amount of time, at least one participant was optimistic. Granted, he works for a company that develops blockchain technology—but he still offered important insights into how standards could, and should, come about.
"When financial institutions get aligned around a common cause, it's much easier to develop standards than it used to be," he said. "The reason why is, you're all working towards the same end game."
He cited NACHA—which is funded by banks—as an example of this. "NACHA is a standards organization," he said. "They actually facilitate rules that take a while to get through the process, but they do a good job of it. Even though people might say it's somewhat slow, it actually pulls in all the thoughts of the ways people are thinking about it."
He added that other standards bodies out there, like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in its development of ISO 20022, have done a great job of practical application for standards. He stressed that the best case scenario for blockchain would be for banks to build out the technology and determine the business cases first, and then develop the standards.
A banker in attendance agreed, noting that some more recent efforts in the payments space, like Faster Payments in the UK and SEPA in Europe, which reflect a willingness by banks to build out standards as they are needed. "These protocols were brought together and work well," she said. "Institutions coming together and saying, 'Let's define a standard in the abstract that meets all of our business and strategic goals' is unlikely."
But it's important that banks don't put the cart before the horse, the blockchain guru stressed. "I'm of the opinion that banks aren't going to be able to create a standard in advance," he said.
While he does believe that consortiums like R3—which is working on ways to create blockchain standards—are good because they create a shared vision of the future, once banks start writing out a protocol, they could run into trouble. "So what I think will happen is, the work financial institutions are doing will lead to production networks," he said. "And you'll end up with three or four different standards that all kind of look the same."
From there, the blockchain developer believes harmonization and standardization will come. "It will happen the way we see it in most protocols, where it comes later, because there's a need," he said. "Trying to do it in advance before there's a single production network in the world other than bitcoin—trying to create a standard before we do anything else—is a mistake."

text: DigitalDave & Busters Can't Even Do Racism Right on #TacoTuesdayBy Shawn Paul Wood|November 19, 2014 ShareBy Shawn Paul Wood|November 19, 2014 ShareFrom Del Taco to Rosa's Cafe to Taco Bell, no one really knows the source — but #TacoTuesday is a thing known to kids (and parents looking for a quick bargain) across this great land of ours. It's fun. It's cheap. It's even famous on 'the Twitter,' from what our parents tell us.Yesterday, a happening place known to Texans for sports, games, and fun called Dave & Busters (that has no business chiming in on a day known for such snackable TexMex goodness), decided to tweet on this most festive of occasions.And did so in a slightly-racist-but-we-have-the-jokey-jokes fashion.The tweet may have been deleted but the conversation is still visible to everyone — will someone in charge of social media at anywhere finally realize that this is not necessarily the job for a hipster with little to lose but a paycheck?We already broached this subject in July when some "skilled social media ninja" from American Apparel tweeted a picture of a glorious fireworks display that actually depicted the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger.Bill Cosby, who has a few things going on lately, began his downward spiral thanks to some wunderkind thinking that #CosbyMeme would be a good idea.And now, we have this:That will be LULAC on Line 1. Don't worry about a busy signal though — the trolls don't call; they just tweet.What's worse about this dunderheaded move is that it's not even original (as seen on Google Images). And, as Anthony Bourdain once told us, tacos as we know them today were invented in Texas, not Mexico. D&B can't even get their racism right!Of course, the hate mail reached the CEO's desk in North Dallas, so the original cheeky attempt at Twitter humor gets deleted (so thank goodness for the aforementioned image search) and later replaced with this:We sincerely apologize for the tweet that went out today our intention was never to offend anyone please accept our apology— Dave & Buster's (@DaveandBusters) November 18, 2014The responses were comical, such as "Betcha No Juan will get fired for this. #RacismTuesdays" and others, but the point is clear: if you're going to mess up, Twitter is not the best place to do it.Why do things like this happen? Because there is either no second set of eyes to police decisions like this, or, even more importantly, there is only one young mind at work. How else would a Space Shuttle explosion be misconstrued as fireworks? How does a meme contest regarding an extremely famous (and terribly polarizing) individual not get reconsidered? And why turn to Twitter to steal a racist-ish idea?If anyone asks why social media is now a PR thing, please see exhibit one here with a side of potato skins and 20 tokens to call your boss.

550 Madison, New York Building, Manhattan, Midtown Architecture, Facade Images
550 Madison in NYC
Redesign Building project in Manhattan, NY, United states of America – design by Snøhetta
Oct 31, 2017
550 Madison Building in New York City
Architects: Snøhetta
Location: 550 Madison Avenue, NYC, USA
550 Madison Building in New York City

The redesign nearly doubles the amount of public space while transforming the base of the 1980s tower into a lively, transparent street front.

Snøhetta has been commissioned to reimagine the 1980's postmodern tower located at 550 Madison Avenue. The renovation is the first major project to be announced for New York City's East Midtown since its revitalization plan was approved earlier this year.
While the recognizable top of the tower will remain a fixture of the New York City skyline as it has since its completion in 1984, the new design will transform the base into an inviting street front, extending the lively activity of Madison Avenue further south to 55th Street. Moreover, the adjacent public space will nearly double in size to create a lush outdoor garden for the public's enjoyment. Snøhetta's design will update the building with state-of-art systems and breathe new life into the building's public, retail and office spaces for the contemporary needs of one of the world's most recognized avenues.
Lobby Entrance Detail on Madison Avenue . Image: DBOX
Completed in 1984, 550 Madison, formerly known as the AT&T Building and then the Sony Building, was originally designed by Philip Johnson for single-tenant occupancy, serving as the eponymous world headquarters for its corporate owners. Since the departure of the Sony Corporation more than a year-and-a-half ago, its office floors have sat vacant. The building's redesign modernizes interior spaces to meet the contemporary needs of a variety of office tenants and adds high-quality amenities, world-class retail and restaurants.
The renewed 550 Madison aspires to be a leader for commercial tower renovations in the future, targeting LEED Gold for sustainability, WELL-certification for healthy materials and well-being, and WIRED-certification for digital infrastructure. It will employ a Dedicated Outdoor Air Ventilation System (DOAS), ensuring tenants have access to a continuous supply of clean fresh air, while consuming less energy than typical VAV mechanical ventilation systems. In leading the transformation of East Midtown for the rapid changes of the contemporary workforce, 550 Madison will ensure the area remains a thriving, world-class business district.
Snøhetta's design approach stitches the life of the building back into the street. Since 550 Madison was first completed, its fortress-like base created an uninviting street front, which was then further compromised by a series of ground-floor renovations that effectively closed the building off from its surroundings. With the updated design, the stone façade will be partially replaced at eye level by an undulating glass curtainwall. From the street, the reconceived façade dramatically highlights the multi-story arched entry while revealing the craftsmanship of the building's existing steel structure. Scalloped glass references the sculpted forms of fluted stone columns, re-interpreting the building's monumentality while creating a lively and identifiable public face for passersby. With this increased transparency, the activity within the lobby, atrium, and first 2 levels of the building will become part of the vibrant energy of the street.
As part of the renovation, 550 Madison's proposed public space will be converted to an outdoor garden, providing a verdant landscape with water features and trees as a respite from the dense urban fabric of Manhattan. The existing mid-block passageway at the rear of the tower connecting 55th and 56th Street will be transformed into a serene public space. By removing neighboring annex building, the design will allow access to open air and daylight while nearly doubling the amount of publicly accessible space. The revitalized public garden makes itself visible from the densely-built streetscape with entrances anchored by vegetation, as well as through the reconfigured building lobby as a splash of color that catches the eye.
The garden encourages a variety of experiences: to meet over lunch and socialize, to find a moment of peace besides the water feature, or to experience a tactile connection to nature. A sensitively curated planting palette will celebrate the dynamic seasonality of the Northeastern climate, transformed over the course of the year by colorful flowering trees and blubs in spring, warm autumnal colors, and the stark elegance of cypresses and evergreens in winter. These new plantings will allow smaller species of birds and butterflies to flourish in their new environment, a unique urban habitat. The lush outdoor garden will be the largest within a 5-minute walking radius of the building, providing a respite from the verticality of Midtown, awakening people to their surroundings, and allowing them to linger and take pleasure in a part of the city that they typically rush through.

The re-imagined 550 Madison reflects how we work and live in New York today. The design sensitively transforms a sculpturally monumental building and celebrates the experience of the building where it meets the street. By updating this inward-looking tower for the 21st century, the redesign will foster a more vibrant, dynamic relationship between the building, the city, and the people who inhabit it.

I was asked to comment on a statement made in a debate that the U.S. is a theocratic and anti-intellectual nation because a vast majority there don't accept Darwinian evolution, and many still subscribe to creationism.
In my view, it may not be quite right to say on the basis of the attitudes of the populace towards evolution, and even though the majority of Americans still believe in God and are affiliated to religions, that the U.S. is a theocratic nation. It is very likely that this situation prevails in Canada, Australia, many European nations, and India also.
As I see it, the USA is NOT anti-intellectual even though the vast majority in the country may be indifferent to or ignorant of what intellectual discourse means. Indeed it is not any different than most other modern non-Communist countries. For a nation to be anti-intellectual the government , the media, and the political leaders generally should all decry, denigrate, and devalue education, intellectual pursuits like science, literary criticisms, history, philosophy etc., and have scant respect for professors, writers, scholars, and thinkers. A nation can be called theocratic only when its statutory laws, penal code, and legal framework are all dictated by the scriptures of a particular religion.
Then again, many historians of science have pointed out that belief in God spurred the emergence of modern science. Depending on one's denominational preference and faith anchor, people have argued that modern science arose from Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Puritanism, etc. In the view of others, again depending on the scholar's faith affiliation, it has been claimed that Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism are religions which can be and which are in harmony with science.
I don't wish to go into the details of these theses endopotent truths: i.e. propositions which bring great inner satisfaction to those who embrace them as truths. I will simply say that all these works are interesting and persuasive up to a point. What one may say on the basis of recorded facts is that scientific productivity became impressively abundant after the secularization of societies countries, that modern scientists seldom rely on their personal religious connections and worldviews when they are engaged in doing serious science, and that the scientific productivity of modern theocratic nations (wherever scriptures and religious heads dictate politics and behavior) has been embarrassingly minimal.

T.I. T.I. vs. T.I.P.
One of these new releases that is sure to be a big summer hit is T.I. vs. T.I.P. Rapper T.I., born Clifford Harris, was the top selling hip hop artist of 2006, so you're sure to hear some of his new singles on the radio. But, the question is whether or not the album is worth your money. After displaying his acting chops in ATL and the forthcoming American Gangster, it's not surprising that his new set of songs would take a dramatic turn. T.I. vs. T.I.P. is a concept album that pits the rapper's former thug self against his current mogul self. Jim finds this concept interesting, but a failed opportunity. He welcomes rappers who want to do something different, but T.I. uses the same old hip hop clichés that were discussed on the hip hop panel a few weeks ago. He doesn't hear a big difference between T.I.'s two personas, and while he enjoys some of the production elements, he has to give the album a Trash It. Greg agrees that the album is largely a failed experiment, and thinks the idea of alternate identities is a played out one in hip hop. He thinks T.I. is an interesting person and wishes he showed that more. Greg also instructs listeners to Trash It.

URWERK (urwerk replica)is our favorite monochrome watch brand; Powerful design, innovative materials and amazing clock content. On our last trip to Paris, Monochrome, we had a chance to wear two Urwerk watches: ur-210 AlTIN and ur-202 White Shark in steel. Laurent Picciotto welcomes us in his Chronopassion Paris watch, the mekka, and explains everything about the ur-210 AlTIN and ur-202 white shark.
AlTIN ur - 210
Ur-210 is everything URWERK stands for, which means you can find all the DNA of Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei in a single clock. First, the shell is made of AlTIN, a special alloy of titanium aluminum nitride. And then, design. Honestly, it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The ur-210 doesn't look like any other watch in the watchmaking world. It's futuristic, clean, but highly sophisticated. Last but not least is the engine. Not only will you find amazing complex satellite display times, but you will also be able to display the winding efficiency of the last 2 hours. Frank has already told us about this complex process (see here), and it looks pretty amazing. More importantly, it's on the wrist. To be honest, I was surprised when I put the ur-210 on my wrist. When I first saw the ur-210 at a press conference, I was a little skeptical of the watch replicas material because it appeared to be "synthetic." I was wrong. Compared with steel, AlTIN feels very light.
The surface is lightly textured, warm and feels soft. It's not like ceramic or titanium. You can feel its quality with it. Of course, the outcome of the case is shocking because it always relates to the URWERK case.
How watches work... There is actually only one "hand" to indicate time, and this hand consists of an hour hand and a pointer to the actual minute. This is called satellite complications. This is the point that points to 0 minutes, and the number of hours is 10. It's ten o 'clock sharp.
The time is printed on some "cubes" with three "arms" of cubes. Each cube has four sides, and each side has a number. The three arms with cubes rotate around a central axis. However, cubes with Numbers also rotate around their own axes.
On the left you can see the number 9, which is no longer in the hand. It's going to rotate around its axis, first toward where you can see the number 8. And then it will slowly move toward number 10. The cube with the number "8" will rotate by a quarter around its axis to produce a different number visible. It's going to be the eleventh.
When the "hand" reaches the 60-minute position, it releases the hour cube, best fake watches and when a retrograde hand moves to 0, it picks up a new hour cube.
Believe me, this show is great! The only pity is that this is a slow-moving complexity, and if it moves faster, it will be even more spectacular.
Of course, design is always very futuristic and technical. You might say, more opulent, perhaps, with a sparkling shell, a steel bracelet and moon phase and dial-up indicators of day and night? We agree that ur-202 is more refined and classic in design, although it is far from average. The great white shark is a naked version of the ur-202, with no decorations other than technical ones. The only color on the dial is a red hour number that identifies the number of each piece. You can't see it in the picture, but this is 11/12.
On the dial, you can see a winding efficiency indicator, which shows the winding efficiency of the past 2 hours. It goes from green to red in the top left corner of the dial. Do not confuse this with a power reserve indicator! This new indicator does not measure the torque of the main spring, but calculates the difference between the consumption and the energy produced by the main spring. When you're not active enough, the pointer moves to the red area, which means your watch USES more energy than the rotor provides to the mainspring. On the other hand, if you move vigorously, the indicator shows up in the green area, indicating that the rotor provides more energy than the watch consumes. The ur-210 is a big watch, but it feels very comfortable on the wrist. Lightweight materials certainly help, as does a comfortable shape. Of course, you can't wear replica urwerk watches sale under the cuff, but who would want to hide such a fine watch?

Artwey is a Community Interest Company (CIC) formed in 2009, registered with Companies House No 06986906. There are two legally appointed directors and a core group who oversee Artwey activities on a voluntary basis.
Lyn Kirkland
Lyn Kirkland is Artwey's newest Director. Lyn's background is in Marketing, working for IBM(UK) for 13 years, followed by a short stint with a local Marketing agency in Weymouth. After s career break in 2000 to bring up two boys, Lyn returned to her first love of painting in 2012 when she went back to Weymouth College to undertake a Diploma in Art, Design & Media. Taking a studio at the much sought after St George's Studios on Portland means that Lyn is pretty much a full time Artist and Tutor. Her chosen medium is Encaustic Wax. A winner of the prestigious Black Swan Open Exhibition award for 'Emerging Artist' in 2016, Lyn is a successful teacher of contemporary encaustic wax techniques and exhibits her work across the South West.
"I joined Artwey in 2016 as a way of networking with local artists and being involved in the local art scene. I am a do-er! I didn't want to join just to sit on the sidelines, I enjoy being amongst other artists and using my skills to help promote Artwey and support other artists in their work."
Carol Cruickshank
Chairman, elected June 2015, formerly membership secretary.
I produce hand-sewn land and sea collage pictures, working with a range of new and old textiles.
I joined Artwey in 2009 and being part of this artistic community gave me the opportunity and confidence to exhibit within my locality and outside it. Being part of this community endorsed, encouraged and challenged me to develop and grow as an artist. I agreed in 2015 to take on the role of Chairman for the opportunity to give back.
There have been many exciting challenges since I took up the role in 2015 overseeing the development of a new web site and establishing, with my fellow director Olivia Nurrish, a new more inclusive style open studios event. This 2017 event involved over 80 artists throughout the region in 43 venues. We are planning on next one in 2019.
I am also a member of ABNA (Association of British Naïve Artists), with whom I exhibit.
Olivia Nurrish
Olivia Nurrish gained a degree in Fine Art from Bristol and after a long period working and raising a family has returned to painting having been inspired by the wonderful scenery of Dorset. She was a founding director of Artwey, aiming to promote her fellow artists from Weymouth and Portland through organising Open Studios and various pop-up exhibitions throughout the towns.
With a colleague she also produced an official Cultural Olympic project 'The Giant Wall' in 2012. Her work is a familiar sight in the area as she exhibits and sells regularly in addition to her commissions.
