BPAL, bread, butter, cream, In Memoriam, lightly buttered, mad tea party, Mad Tea Party: Resurrected, resurrected, sugar, tea, weak tea, white sugar
Name: Bread-And-Butterfly Resurrected
Manufacturer: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab – Mad Tea Party: Resurrected
Scent Description and Notes: "`Crawling at your feet,' said the Gnat (Alice drew her feet back in some alarm), `you may observe a Bread-and-Butterfly. Its wings are thin slices of Bread-and-butter, its body is a crust, and its head is a lump of sugar.'
`And what does IT live on?'
`Weak tea with cream in it.'
Bread, lightly buttered, with weak tea, cream, and a lump of white sugar." – https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/shop/limited-edition/resurrected/bread-and-butterfly-resurrected/
Oil Color: Colorless
Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a standard vial / imp size (1/32 oz). The label wrapped around the bottle features an Art-Deco inspired phoenix with the name of the company next to the phoenix. On the other side, the title of the scent written in large, clear black font outlined with red on the front.
- ITI: That's butter, rich and melted with some spiced Hawaiian sweet bread (almost like fruit cake) underneath. This is going to make me so hungry.
- Wet: Okay, now it smells like gooey cinnamon bread drizzled with melting butter, topped with a little candied fruit. I'm not normally a foody gal, but I actually rather like this. Surprising.
- Dry: Most of it fades away after a full day, but what is left smells very subtly of buttered Hawaiian bread.

A £120,000 resurfacing scheme for the A27 Mahon Road, Portadown will begin on Monday, February 27.
Work on the 500 metre scheme is due to be completed on March 10.
The resurfacing extends from Markethill Road junction up to Artabrackagh Road.
Local access will be maintained during the improvements.
Traffic is being diverted via Mullahead Road, Gilford Road, Bridge Street, High Street and Armagh Road.
For Markethill Road traffic approaching Mahon Road diversion is via Derryhale Road and Dobbin Road.
A spokesperson said, "TransportNI has carefully programmed the works operations and traffic management arrangements in order to minimise any inconvenience to the public. However, motorists should be aware that some delays may be expected and that additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys."

our project initiators
Urs Iselin as the founder and long time CEO of Varistor AG initiated the Happy Hazelnut Foundation with the goal in mind to create a positive impact in the Hazelnut region through the development of a sustainable project for people and the environment.
With his holistic approach to man, society and environment, Mehmet-Ali ISIK founded the company Isik Organik Gida in 1974. The company has developed to be a renown and leading producer, processor and exporter of dried organic fruits and nuts from Turkey. Both companies, Isik Organik Gida and Varistor AG work in a close and successful partnership since 1993.
Interview with Mehmet-Ali Isik: "What were the key factors for the Project?"
The idea to establish the «Happy Hazelnut Project» and the impact it could create received positive resonance from Varistor partners in the food industry. They could be won as supporting members of the project, providing additional capital for the initiation of the project.
Through an extra surcharge per kg sold hazelnuts, the Foundation is able to continue funding existing and new projects in the future.

Ladies' horse riding helmet is an absolutely crucial protection of the rider's head. Riding helmet is a number one position of a shopping list if you want to start your horse riding adventure.
Helmet, just as riding boots, breeches or chaps has to be properly adjusted in size. A helmet that is too big will fall on your eyes and bother the ride. A helmet that is too little, on the other hand, will squeeze your head, which can lead to chronic headaches. In order to properly choose a size of your helmet, you should measure your head girth through the middle of your forehead, above your ears and through the occiput. Now, knowing your girth you can pick the size. While choosing a helmet, it is good to pay attention to its safety certificates. We recommend SAMSHIELD helmets with the VG1 norm. Helmets from SAMSHIELD are very safe and at the same time beautiful. The producer offers you a possibility of designing your own helmet in their configurator.
There are a few models of helmets for horse riding. We do not talk about their colours or decorations, but about their intended use. SAMSHIELD offers a very versatile SHADOWMATT model, which can be used both by dressage and jumping riders. Another model is the MISS SHIELD one with a wide brim, designed for jumpers. XC HELMET is for riders doing cross or taking part in races. XC-J model is designed for jumpers, especially those taking part in eventing.

Project Runway All Stars: "When I Get My Dress in Lights"comments (0) March 2nd, 2012
Were the designers able to create avant-garde garments incorporating lighting technology in this week's challenge? The designers had many choices when it came to choosing their lights, but many designers chose neon glow tape or light bulbs to add flare. Austin was the only designer not to cover his garment in neon and try to recreate a costume from Tron. The judges responded to his level of taste and the construction of his gown, and Austin was crowned the winner of this challenge. I had a feeling he would be the winner after overhearing the video chat with his mother about their home's foreclosure. The judges also loved Kenley's neon plaid and Mondo's look as well. At the bottom this week were Michael's Neon Ninja Princess and Jerell's garment. It was a tough decision, but Jerell was sent home this week.
Did you like Austin's garment the best, or did his conversation with his mom seal his fate this week?
Austin: (winner)
Jerell: (out)

Propaganda: Romney said he stopped managing Bain Capital in 1999 to takeover The Olympics. But SEC documents have him as President and CEO until 2002. That's a felony! Either he lied about leaving Bain in 1999 or he's a FELON!
- Team Obama have now acknowledged Romney left Bain Capital in 1999. This is progress.
- Now, they claim that SEC documents listing Romney as President and CEO of Bain until 2002 indict him for felony.
- The Boston Globe started this "felony" innuendo
- Team Romney has demanded a retraction from the Boston Globe. The Globe has refused.
- There is no SEC requirement that a person be actively managing a company to hold the above titles. There is no SEC or any legal issue involved.
- The Left-leaning Washington Post's own Fact Checker calls the latest Obama attack a pitiful lie.
- FactCheck.Org calls Obama's latest attack a pitiful lie.
- Obama has admitted to illegal drug use. That is an actual felony.
I expected Obama's attacks and lies to grow more desperate as we neared November. It's somewhat astounding that Team Obama has run out of factual positions with which to attack Romney as early as July.
Team Obama is in full panic mode. And blatant lies like this one are destroying their credibility daily.
Soon, there will be no credibility left.

"He stopped the wrong one, bottom line," yelled Tatinisha Wheeler, a nurse's aide who was at the news conference.
A couple dozen protesters began marching around the charred gas station and in the street chanting, "Hands up, don't shoot," and, "What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!"
Police have said Brown was shot after an officer encountered him and another man on the street during a routine patrol. They say one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car, then physically assaulted him in the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the officer's weapon. At least one shot was fired inside the car before the struggle spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times, according to police.
Dorian Johnson has told media a different story. He said he and Brown were walking in the street when an officer ordered them onto the sidewalk, then grabbed his friend's neck and tried to pull him into the car before brandishing his weapon and firing. He said Brown started to run and the officer pursued him, firing multiple times.
Tensions in Ferguson boiled over after a candlelight vigil Sunday night, as looters smashed and burned businesses in the neighborhood, where police have repeatedly fired tear gas and smoke bombs.
By Thursday, there was a dramatic shift in the atmosphere after Gov. Jay Nixon assigned protest oversight to Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who is black and grew up near Ferguson. He marched alongside protesters, along with other high-ranking brass from the Highway Patrol and the St. Louis County Police Department.
"We're here to serve and protect," Johnson said. "We're not here to instill fear."
The streets were filled with music, free food and even laughter. When darkness fell — the point at which previous protests have grown tense — no uniformed officers were in sight outside the burned-out QuikTrip convenience store that had become a flashpoint for standoffs between police and protesters.
"All they did was look at us and shoot tear gas," Pedro Smith, who has participated in the nightly protests, said Thursday. "This is totally different. Now we're being treated with respect."
The more tolerant response came as President Barack Obama spoke publicly for the first time about the shooting — and the subsequent violence that shocked the nation and threatened to tear apart Ferguson.
Obama said there was "no excuse" for violence either against the police or by officers against peaceful protesters.
Attorney General Eric Holder has said federal investigators have interviewed witnesses to the shooting. After the press conference above, the man now in charge of operations in Ferguson, Missouri Highway Patrol captain Ronald Johnson said even if there were a robbery, the shooting is unrelated and the two should not be confused.
Associated Press writers Jim Salter and Jim Suhr in St. Louis, Eric Tucker in Washington and Hillel Italie in New York, and AP researcher Rhonda Shafner, also in New York, contributed to this report.

IKEA to the Rescue
Finally a winding station.
I saw on the Ravelry Ikea group a winding station that a lady had made from a trestle desk leg. I happened to be in IKEA and found a trestle leg in the "AS IS" section for $7.00. Took it home but could not figure out how to get my winding station to look like the one in the IKEA group photo. Turned out I had purchased a different one.
My son-in-law came to the rescue. He had wood from his remodeling project that he said would work, he then cut and counter sinked the wood for me and told me how to get the station I wanted. I can only say I love, love it. I can sit or stand to wind balls. I put a piece of wood on the bottom and made a shelf. My IKEA basket fits perfectly there so that I can put my unwind skeins in it ready to be wound, at my leisure. I have a giant skein ball winder but I do not like the way it makes balls. Do you think my son-in-law will take a look at it. Hint, Hint.
I really had no good place to put the ball winder and the swift. Those days are over.

Spinning Bunny Knitaway 2009
The anticipation is over. It seems like the day would never arrive. Susan and Cathy kept sending teasers that only made matters worse.
The event, officially named, The Pamper Yourself Knitting Getaway, was perfect. My daughter, her husband and I arrived the night before on July 30. The Getaway began on July 31 when we introduced ourselves and got to use the "rainbow lady" to show us how measure each other. We got to use the Ragla Rula Tula(tm), invented by Susan and Cathy, to get the correct distance from neckline to under arm. Ann-Marie and Michelle (two sisters from Canada) loved it so much that they wrote a song called the "Ragla Rula Tula(tm)". Just click the arrow to play.
Both her and Cathy truly kept us entertained as well as taught us new knitting tricks, the entire weekend.
One of the first things we had to do was make a name tag. We could not just write our names with a felt tip pen on a sticky paper. Oh no....we were given all kinds of items to truly personalize our name tags. We also had to chose a word that described us and later tell why we chose that word. For everyone that knows me, I think that I chose the right word, "Adventurous".
I am sorry to say that while we were laughing and eating at the Moosewood Restaurant, Cathy was slaving over her computer, correcting our math errors and making sure that everyone had a personalized cardigan and pullover pattern.
Bright and early at 9AM, everyone was in their seats ready to begin another fun filled learning day. Today we would actually start our creations. After our personalized knitting a top down seamless pullover or cardigan sweater patterns were handed out, Cathy and Susan helped everyone to get started. The design elements and styling are all up to us. My daughter and I ordered the Harmony guides so that we could decide whether we want lace, cables, etc., Cathy provided us with patterns that would work nicely with our creations but encouraged us to use whatever we liked to achieve our perfect sweater.
After a delicious catered lunch from the Ithaca Bakery, we went to see Susan's shop, The Spinning Bunny, to knit, learn to spin and in my case get a plying lesson. Okay, I did buy some yarn and roving. Did you really think I would go to a knitting shop and not shop.
This is my sweater so far. I decided to get some of Susan's yarn . I got the Knit Away Pend Orielle yarn in Velvet Merlot. It is so soft and this picture does not do the color justice. I am quite aways from dividing for the sleeves but I will keep on chugging along until I get there.
That evening most of us went to dinner at The Boatyard Grill. I left my camera in the car so I do not have any pictures. Just take my word for it, the food was delicious, the company was great and the atmosphere was perfect.
On Sunday, my daughter, son-in-law and I met Susan at the Ithaca Farmer's Market. That was a real treat. Hopefully, there will be a Getaway 2, if so , we are going to build in more time in our trip to spend at the market.
After we left Susan at the market, we went wine tasting. My son-in-law had talked to Jim, Susan's husband, to get some ideas of the best wineries to try.
On Monday, we went to the Watkins Glen State Park to see the waterfalls. That was a beautiful mile walk. I would suggest anyone in the area to go.
I can only say that this was a perfect weekend.
Check out the Chicks with Sticks blog to see more pictures and comments about our great weekend.
I have another link for you about our wonderous weekend. From the mouth of the creator
Susan of Spinning Bunny.

Duct Work Installation & Custom Fabrication
Proper duct work installation should not be considered a weekend DIY project. Cousin Ned, a roll of duct tape and a pair of tin snips is not the best game plan. This one you want to leave to an experienced and well trained HVAC professional.
Whether you need duct leaks repaired or new duct work fabricated, we can assist you. Room to room temperature variance can be sourced to improperly setup ducts and vents in many cases. Our technicians know that it is important to first listen to your concerns in detail - then, after hearing your concerns we can provide effective solutions based on your needs. Sometimes it is as simple as vents not having working or properly set baffles - in other instances pool attic insulation may be the culprit.
Our trained installers will have your duct work system fabricated to the specifications agreed upon. Ducts are an important aspect many contractors don't talk about when selling a new heating or cooling system. It is a good idea to meter the air flow to each room and then make necessary adjustments in order to maximize consistent temperature in each room. Zoned systems function well only if the duct work is functioning properly. When you are investing a lot of money in equipment, ducts are definitely a big part of the equation and planning process - done right, the result is "comfort" regardless of what room you are using.
Call your Indoor Comfort Team today to schedule an appointment to have one of our installers come to your home and discuss your duct work issues. Whether it's design and fabrication or cleaning and maintenance, we're can help.

Updated List of Top WordPress Development Tools
15 1
Countless developers make their living from WordPress – authoring splendid themes, ingenious plugins, and providing custom WordPress development services and solutions to the millions of platform users on the web.
It makes sense for the industry to be extremely competitive. Providing best in class WordPress products and solutions at highly competitive prices consistently to scores and droves of WordPress users/ clients is a huge undertaking.
To help you bear the brunt, here is an updated list of top WordPress development tools in 2016, an even mix of plugins, browser extensions, boilerplates, IDEs, and more, all working for the same goal – to streamline your development process.
Take a look:
1. Theme Check
Availability: WordPress Plugin Directory
Everyone makes mistakes, and even with years of WordPress theme development experience under your belt, you will slip up occasionally with potentially disastrous consequences – your theme could fail the official repository's theme review process, or cause serious complications that may take hours to fix on your clients' websites.
Better to be safe than sorry – and with that in mind, Theme Check is a brilliant plugin to rely on for WordPress front end developers. The free plugin will check your theme against WordPress Theme Review standards (the best there are, if not the same as W3C validation), and give you a report for improvements if you're lacking. It's great for learners and experts alike.
2. Monster Widget
Availability: WordPress Plugin Directory
This free all in one core widget solution is a masterful piece of work. It saves you hours of effort and utter tedium of checking your theme for proper widget display. Simply put, install Monster Widget and use it to test your theme's widget friendliness. A WooCommerce equivalent WooCommerce Monster Widget is also available for front end eCommerce developers.
3. RTL Tester
Availability: WordPress Plugin Directory
Internationalization ready themes for the win – RTL tester is a free plugin which will, as advertised, check your theme's RTL support as well as help you during the development of an RTL enabled theme by prompting you towards good RTL stylesheet practices. It's available in the WordPress.org plugin repository.
4. Generate WP
Availability: generatewp.com
A brilliant online collection of tools that will generate the common WordPress code snippets on demand, Generate WP is a hoot. There is a whole bunch of code generators available to take care of generating taxonomies, shortcuts, custom post types, sidebars, widgets, and even theme / plugin files that are necessary for upload on WordPress Repository.
It's a solid set of code generators that will also help beginners learn good WordPress coding practices and adhere to standards.
5. uilang
Availability: uilang
uilang has been talked about extensively, because it's just so brilliant.
This particular beauty adds dynamic to your WordPress front end development project in a manner altogether painless and hassle free. Essentially a programming language, albeit one that's easy to follow and understand (Angular should take a few hints), it lets you create dynamic user interface elements, build working prototype models with Transpiler, and translate it all into JavaScript for future developers to look through (because it's not presumptuous about its popularity). It's free.
6. WordPress Plugin Boilerplate
Availability: wppb
You have heard of boilerplates for themes, but here's one for plugin developers. Hallelujah.
This amazingly helpful plugin boilerplate will help you avoid all the pitfalls of WordPress plugin development which too often result in error riddled or heavy plugins that cause compatibility errors with even the default WordPress themes. Well no more of that, because WordPress plugin boilerplate will give you a solid base you can start with, ensuring adherence to good coding standards, expert implementation of API and clean cut separation of configuration and front end display of the plugin or widget. It's a free tool.
7. Chrome Developer Tools
Availability: Chrome DevTools
8. Firebug
Availability: Mozilla Add-ons
Talking of browser extensions for developers and excluding the amazing Firebug is just plain ignorant.
This little Firefox add-on, brought to you the good folks at Mozilla foundation, is a beloved browser extension tool, packed to the brim with powerful testing and debugging features that will help your WordPress development projects to no end.
9. CodeKit
Availability: Panic Inc.
Coda 2, along with CodeKit, is an app built for developers using Mac. And these are pretty damn stunning in terms of sheer efficiency.
Not just an IDE, the CodeKit app helps WordPress designers and developers alike in building amazing things better and faster than ever before. With its drag and drop interface, the app lets you add a retinue of front end programming languages to your development project from a select list and has some extensive browser and device testing features built in. Coda 2, the mobile app, offers excellent WordPress specific development support as well.
Availability: Github
Vagrant lovers will love it. (Wow that were way too many V's…okay I'll stop now)
Varying Vagrant Vagrants (VVV) is a free Vagrant, preconfigured with all the features you'll need for development of themes and plugins, or contributing to core development for WordPress. If you are unfamiliar with Vagrant, it's a toolkit/ virtual development environment that you can set up on your local machine.
You can also use a similar deal – DesktopServer, for WordPress development projects. It's another virtual environment that will need to be setup on your local machine and within a matter of minutes it will have WordPress installed and raring to go right at your fingertips. The free version will only let you work with three WordPress sites at a time (no multisite network), and you'll need to upgrade to premium version to work with more sites or a multisite network.
There are way too many WordPress development tools and not enough space to list them all, but the ones listed here are the best. Make your choice wisely and stick to those until you find something truly amazing. It takes time to learn your way around an IDE or a virtual development environment after all.

Why did the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study GE crops?
Consumers in the United States and abroad get conflicting information about GE crops. Proponents tout the benefits while opponents emphasize the risks. There was a need for an independent, objective study to examine what had been learned about GE crops, assesses whether initial concerns and promises were realized since their introduction, and investigates new concerns and recent claims.
What was the goal of this study?
The study informed the public discourse. It reviewed GE crops and food in the context of the contemporary global food and agricultural system. It examined:
- The history of the development and introduction of GE crops and the experiences of developers and producers of GE crops in different countries and regions.
- The history of GE crops that were not commercialized.
- The scientific basis of purported negative effects of GE crops (e.g., poor yield growth potential, deleterious effects of GE food on human and animal health, increased use of pesticides and herbicides, the creation of "super-weeds," reduced genetic diversity, fewer seed choices for producers, and negative impacts on farmers in developing countries and on producers of non-GE crops).
- The scientific basis of purported benefits of GE crops (e.g., reductions in pesticide use, reduced soil loss and better water quality through synergy with no-till cultivation practices, reduced crop loss from pests and weeds, increased flexibility and time for producers, reduced spoilage and mycotoxin contamination, and better nutritional value potential).
- The scientific foundation of current environmental and food safety assessments for GE crops and foods and their accompanying technologies.
- New developments in GE crop and food science and technology and the future opportunities and challenges those technologies may present, including research and development, regulatory, and ownership, examined through the lens of agricultural innovation and agronomic sustainability.
How were committee members chosen?
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine issued calls for nominations for committee members, seeking recognized experts from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. Each committee must include the full range of expertise and experience needed to address the study's statement of task. The overall composition of the committee is evaluated to make sure that points of view are reasonably balanced so that the committee can carry out its charge objectively and credibly. A provisional slate was posted for a 20-day comment period. Once approved by the President of the National Academy of Sciences, all committee members were screened for conflict of interest.
How did the Committee gather information before it assembled the report?
Study committees typically gather information through: 1) meetings that are open to the public and that are announced in advance through the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine website; 2) the submission of information by outside parties; 3) reviews of the scientific literature; and 4) the investigations of the committee members and staff. In all cases, efforts are made to solicit input from individuals who have been directly involved in, or who have special knowledge of, the problem under consideration.
All committees deliberate in meetings closed to the public in order to develop draft findings and recommendations free from outside influences. The public is provided with brief summaries of these meetings that include the list of committee members present. All analyses and drafts of the report remain confidential.
To learn more about the public meetings of the committee that wrote Genetically Engineered Crops: Experiences and Prospects, click here.
Who reviewed the report before it was published?
As a final check on the quality and objectivity of the study, all Academies reports whether products of studies, summaries of workshop proceedings, or other documents must undergo a rigorous, independent external review by experts whose comments are provided anonymously to the committee members. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recruit independent experts with a range of views and perspectives to review and comment on the draft report prepared by the committee.
The review process is structured to ensure that each report addresses its approved study charge and does not go beyond it, that the findings are supported by the scientific evidence and arguments presented, that the exposition and organization are effective, and that the report is impartial and objective.
Each committee must respond to, but need not agree with, reviewer comments in a detailed "response to review" that is examined by one or two independent report review "monitors" responsible for ensuring that the report review criteria have been satisfied. After all committee members and appropriate officials from the Academies have signed off on the final report, it is transmitted to the sponsor of the study and is released to the public.
To learn more about the reviewers of Genetically Engineered Crops: Experiences and Prospects, click here.
When was the study be completed?
The study was completed in May 2016.
When did the committee meet?
The committee meets throughout the study process. Committee meeting dates can be found here.
Are recordings of those meetings available?
All meetings in which the committee gathers information were open to the public and recorded. They are available here.
Can I see the comments and information submitted to the committee?
Written materials submitted to a study committee by external sources are listed in the project's public access file and can be made available to the public upon request. Contact the Public Access Records Office (PARO) for a copy of the list and to obtain copies of the materials. Copies of materials are free to the press and government employees. Please send an email or call PARO to make a request or an inquiry.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Normal business hours for PARO are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
Are the results of the study available to the public?
Yes. An electronic version of the final report is available to download for free here.
How will the results of this study be used?
The final report is directed at policy makers, members of the public, and the scientific community and was delivered to the study sponsors and to various parts of the U.S. government, including the U.S. Congress and the executive branch. Other derivative products are designed to communicate the report's findings to a lay audience.
Who sponsored this study?
The study was sponsored by the New Venture Fund, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Academy of Sciences.
Have the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released other reports on GE crops?
Yes. The Academies have published previous reports on the topic of GE crops.
Where can I get more information?
Inquiries may be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

those cord shoes are really, really ugly.
'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' as they say. When you're filming and standing all day, your feet will thank you for comfortable heels.
Hi! I really really love your fashion style (among your taste in everything – you inspire me a lot!) and wonder if you maybe could publish some of your clothing in pictures, for example of your everyday wear monday-friday, or maybe out-in-town-wear?

Hi Carly! Can you tweet/instagram the screenshot to Rachel? Her brain is like a sieve and she can't remember… ha! Thanks! x
Rachel I love your fashion sense, you always wear beautiful clothes that compliment your figure, I love your style, you should create your own designs!
You were fab on MKR Rachel! You and Colin had a great dynamic. Your wardrobe was stunning, especially the Karen Millen dress, those sleeves were killer! Have you got any hot tips for online vintage fashion stores you regularly purchase from that will ship to Aus? I used to live in London and had a lot to choose from, but many of them don't ship to Aus!
Hi Janelle, Thanks so much for the lovely feedback. Unfortunately I haven't looked into vintage shops that ship to AUS but if I spot any I'll let you know.
Absolutely beautiful pieces. No doubt each was carefully picked. Anything Rachel wears is perfect on her. Shes unbelievably stunning. Cant wait to see the episodes in New Zealand.
Hi Rachel, you are such a delight to watch and I'm chuffed that you've discovered some of my local Newtown haunts (Gi Gi and Origami Doll). I love Review too. Dangerfield is also good for very affordable clothes in a similar vein and I love Alannah Hill (enough to get married in one of her dresses last year!). I am looking forward to getting back to London later this year to visit some of those wonderful East End vintage shops. I would love it if you did another London based series in the future!
Hi Karen, Thanks for the lovely feedback and the fantastic clothes tips. I'll make sure I check them out when I'm next in Australia.
I love your style and wanted to let you know that if you are ever in the States to try out a place called Modern Millies in Salem Massachusetts! They have the most beautiful clothes and accessories. I think they may have a store on Etsy. I don't work there but I love shopping there:)
Hi Peggy, I just checked out the Modern Millies website and they have some great stuff. They stock a few brands that I like. Did you click through and have a peek at our feature on GiGi's? Their clothing has a similar 50s vibe – all items are hand-made by the owner. It's a favourite of Rachel's to check out when she's in Sydney. Have a read here: http://khoollect.com/wanderlust/creating-modern-day-vintage-fashion/

June, July and August a.k.a summer 2013 has flown by. Little did I know that when returning back to London in the beginning of June my summer was gonna be spent working this hard. Although I didn't get the chance to spend an afternoon at Bluebird, visit Camden beach, trying out different flavours at PinkBerry or climbing up to London rooftops, I'm so proud for not giving in when times were tough and that I managed to squeeze in some fun as well!

Amazon Robotics source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Robotics
This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (December 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Amazon Robotics, formerly Kiva Systems, is a Massachusetts-based company that manufactures mobile robotic fulfilment systems.[1][2] It is a subsidiary company of Amazon.com and its automated storage and retrieval systems were previously used by companies including: The Gap, Walgreens, Staples, Gilt Groupe, Office Depot, Crate & Barrel, and Saks 5th Avenue.[3] After those contracts ran out, Amazon did not renew them and Kiva's assets now work only for Amazon's warehouses.
After working on the business process team at Webvan, a failed online grocery delivery business, Mick Mountz concluded that the company's downfall was due to the inflexibility of existing material handling systems and the high cost of order fulfillment.[4] These challenges inspired Mountz to create a better way to pick, pack, and ship orders through a system that could deliver any item to any operator at any time. To accomplish his vision, Mountz sought help from Peter Wurman and Raffaello D'Andrea, who were experts in the area of engineering and robotics. In 2003, Mountz became the founder and CEO of Kiva Systems, through his partnership with co-founders Wurman and D'Andrea.
Traditionally, goods are moved around a distribution center using a conveyor system or by human operated machines (such as forklifts). In Kiva's approach, items are stored on portable storage units. When an order is entered into the Kiva database system, the software locates the closest automated guided vehicle (bot) to the item and directs it to retrieve it. The mobile robots navigate around the warehouse by following a series of computerized bar-code stickers on the floor. Each drive unit has a sensor that prevents it from colliding with others. When the drive unit reaches the target location, it slides underneath the pod and lifts it off the ground through a corkscrew action. The robot then carries the pod to the specified human operator to pick the items.[5]
Kiva sold systems based on two different robot models. The smaller model was approximately 2 feet by 2.5 feet, and 18 inches high and capable of lifting 1,000 pounds. The larger model was capable of carrying a pallets with loads as heavy as 3,000 pounds.[6] Both were a distinctive orange color. The maximum velocity of the robots was 1.3 meters per second.[7] The mobile bots were battery-powered and need to be recharged every hour for five minutes.[5]
Kiva's relatively new approach to automated material handling systems for order fulfillment is gaining traction in eCommerce fulfillment, retail restocking, parts distribution and medical device distribution operations. The system is much more efficient and accurate than the traditional method of having human workers traveling around the warehouse locating and picking items.[8]
Acquisition by Amazon[edit]
In March 2012, Amazon.com acquired Kiva Systems for $775 million. At the time, this was Amazon's second-largest acquisition in its history.[9]
Since the acquisition by Amazon, Kiva has remained silent. The company has not announced any new Kiva customers and has stopped its marketing activities.[10] Most of Kiva's sales staff have departed, though the company continues to hire in the engineering and manufacturing departments. Industry observers speculate that Amazon is focusing on internal operations and is not interested in sharing the technology with competitors.[9]
In August 2015, the company officially changed its name from Kiva Systems LLC to Amazon Robotics LLC.[11]
As of June 2019 Amazon had more than 200,000 of the robots working in their warehouses.[12]

On Terra Informa this week,we look at stories of nature on the edge. From the Yasuni ITT in Ecuador and the failing fight to keep it protected from developers, to two stories from our archives. One on the Banff Spring Snail; an endangered species, and the other on the idea of 'just sustainability' and how a necessary shift in our perspective on what it means to be sustainable may include a cultural shift.
Ecuador Abandons Unique Amazonian Nature Reserve
Take an area about one fifth of the size of Banff National Park, or around one eighth the size of the city of Edmonton. That's roughly 120 thousand hectares and that is the size of Yasuni ITT (Ishipingo-Tambococha-Tiputini) in Ecuador. What makes Yasuni ITT special, however, is that the area contains more reptiles than the entire continent of Europe, as many birds and mammals as the entire country of Canada, and in one hectare, there are more tree species than Canada and the US have combined.
Yasuni ITT was meant to preserve the country's biodiversity and make a stand against global climate change. But, less than a month ago, the Ecuadorian government announced they were pulling the plug on the initiative, and allowing oil exploration to go forward in the area. Terra Informa's Nicole Wiart talks to a Professor of Ecology and an Ecuadorian exchange student to get a better idea of what this announcement means for Ecuador.

Girl Gone Wild: Banff Springs Snail
From the time we're little, most of us are told to be proud of what makes us unique – what sets us apart. But what if the thing that made you different was also the thing that made you vulnerable? On this week's edition of Girl Gone Wild, Chris Chang-Yen Phillips brings us the story of the endangered Banff Springs Snail from wildlife documentary filmmaker Jamie Pratt.

Just Sustainability
Julian Agyeman is chair of the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University in Boston-Medford, Massachusetts. His research focuses on the intersections between social justice and sustainability, an idea which he terms just sustainability. He describes just sustainability as "the need to ensure a better quality of life for all, now and into the future, in a just and equitable manner, whilst living within the limits of supporting ecosystems". Kathryn Lennon spoke with him about the need for the sustainability movement to broaden its work beyond ecological and conservation issues, to include issues of inequality and social justice.

Do You Get The Proper Amount of Sugar Intake in A Day?
Hi, Friends of SlimGourmet! Nowadays there are so many kind of innovation in culinary. Commonly, foods have been modified with adding some addtives including sugar.
One example of food that has been modified is martabak, we can easily find martabak with any kind of sweet topping. That will surely add calorie value to martabak because of its sweet topping, moreover martabak dough itself is sweet enough and high calorie.
People interested in those kind of modified foods because of its innovation and decorative style, that affects in our daily average sugar intake. High intake of sugar increases the risk of degenerative diseases such as diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
Daily sugar intake should be considered. We should limit our daily sugar intake to 50 grams a day or not over than 4 tbs. Sugar intake not only from sugar or sweetener but also from food intake metabolism especially complex carbohydrate source such as bread, rice, potatoes, etc. Besides that, fruit also contains sugar called fructose. All of that foods affects our daily sugar
SlimGourmet considers your daily sugar intake by limiting the use of sugar in some menu especially our dessert menu. You can enjoy our sweet dessert menu without feel guilty and worry about the risk of degenerative diseases because the sugar amount in our dessert menu has been controlled. Let's enjoy our Opera Cake, Ocha Pudding, Almond Cookies, and Wintermelon Cake on this week!

REFERRING PHYSICIAN: John Doe, MD
ADMITTING DIAGNOSIS: Late effect, L1 incomplete paraplegia, American Spinal Injury Association category B, secondary to epidural abscess.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a (XX)-year-old male with a long history of insulin dependent diabetes, type 2; coronary artery disease; chronic renal insufficiency; peripheral vascular disease, also secondary to diabetes; who was originally admitted to an outside hospital for what appeared to be acute paraplegia, lower extremities. Evidently, MRI indicated a large epidural abscess around T5-8. The patient was transferred to another hospital and underwent laminectomy, T5-8, and drainage of abscess. He was positive for MRSA and was placed on vancomycin and completed complete course. The patient's hospital course was complicated with acute renal failure on chronic as well as lower extremity paraplegia and completed a course of antibiotics. The patient was transferred to this facility for PT/OT rehabilitation as well as continued medical management of epidural abscess and complete paraplegia, as well as coronary artery disease, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease. His course here was relatively uneventful with the exception that he was seen and evaluated by a psychiatrist and placed on Wellbutrin for depression, as well as the patient did have numerous episodes of constipation, believed to be secondary to medication, as well as neurogenic bowel. He did receive a course of Bactrim for 14 days for UTI. Evidently, at some point in time, the patient was noted to develop a pressure-type wound on the sole of his left foot and left great toe. He was also noted to have a large sacral wound; this is in a similar location with his previous laminectomy, and this continues to receive daily care. The patient was transferred secondary to inability to participate in full physical and occupational therapy and continue medical management of his diabetes, the sacral decubitus, left foot pressure wound, and associated complications of diabetes.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: L1 incomplete paraplegia secondary to epidural abscess; epidural abscess, T5-8, status post laminectomy and I and D; history of coronary artery disease, status post one vessel stent; history of hypertension, type unknown, possibly secondary to renal insufficiency; history of hypothyroidism; depression; neurogenic bladder secondary to L1 incomplete paraplegia secondary to epidural abscess; neurogenic bowel secondary to L1 incomplete paraplegia secondary to epidural abscess; history of acute-on-chronic renal insufficiency; stage II gluteal and sacral decubitus pressure wound, left foot, mid soleus as well as 3 small areas in the left great toe; history of right BKA secondary to peripheral vascular disease; history of polyneuropathy secondary to diabetes; history urinary tract infection; history of neuropathic pain, chronic; and history of MRSA sepsis.
MEDICATIONS: Fragmin 5000 units subcutaneously daily, Xenaderm to wounds topically b.i.d., Lantus 40 units subcutaneously at bedtime, OxyContin 30 mg p.o. q.12 h., folic acid 1 mg daily, levothyroxine 0.1 mg p.o. daily, Prevacid 30 mg daily, Avandia 4 mg daily, Norvasc 10 mg daily, Lexapro 20 mg daily, aspirin 81 mg daily, Senna 2 tablets p.o. q.a.m., Neurontin 400 mg p.o. t.i.d., Percocet 5/325 mg 2 tablets q.4 h. p.r.n., magnesium citrate 1 bottle p.o. p.r.n., sliding scale coverage insulin, Wellbutrin 100 mg p.o. daily, and Bactrim DS b.i.d.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient lives by himself. He lives in an apartment on the first floor, wheelchair accessible.
FAMILY HISTORY: Positive for diabetes and coronary artery disease in his mother as well as one brother.
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: The patient states having undergone right BKA for peripheral vascular disease complications approximately 5 to 8 months ago; otherwise, no acute weight changes, no skin changes, heat or cold intolerance. He denies any chest pain or shortness of breath, bladder or bowel changes with the exception as noted above. Since mid October, respiratory complaints. He denies any new heat or cold intolerance, some palpitations. He denies any new symptoms of numbness or tingling. He still has severe deficiencies in sensorium in lower extremities as well as upper extremities but it is equal and symmetrical. He denies any slurred speech or dysphasia.
GENERAL: The patient is a well-nourished, well-developed, obese male, awake, alert, and oriented x4, in no apparent distress.
VITAL SIGNS: Blood pressure 132/84, pulse 72 and regular, respiratory rate 16 and unlabored.
SKIN: Dry. The patient has numerous superficial wounds; in particular, left foot has an area approximately 3.5 x 4.5 cm, mid soleus, blackened skin area. There is no fluctuance. It is nontender to touch. It is not warm. There is no localized erythema or red streaks. He has 4 to 5 approximately 3 to 4 mm in diameter round areas on the lateral aspect of his left great toe, but his leg has no localized erythema. He has 2 to 3+ edema. Distal pulses were absent. Feet were not warm however. Capillary refill was 2 seconds. He has well-healed BKA on the right side. Tissue appears somewhat hyperemic, but it is not cool to touch, nontender. There is no discharge or drainage, otherwise unremarkable on exam.
HEENT: Grossly normocephalic, atraumatic. He is edentulous for upper and lower. PERRLA. EOMI. No APD. Sclerae anicteric.
NECK: Supple and had good range of motion. No anterior and posterior cervical adenopathy. Thyroid appeared grossly normal.
HEART: Regular rate and rhythm without murmurs, rubs or gallops.
CHEST: Clear with slightly diminished breath sounds bilaterally at the bases without rhonchi, rales or wheezes.
ABDOMEN: Obese, soft, nontender, and nondistended. Bowel sounds were active in all quadrants. There was no rebound or guarding. No CVA or suprapubic tenderness or lymphadenopathy appreciated.
BACK: Back and spine and paraspine unremarkable. He does have rather large area stage II decubitus ulcer in the area of laminectomy. There is no foul odor or gross discharges, hyperemic tissue peripherally. There is pink granulation tissue at the edges and in the base. It is nontender on exam. However, this should be guarded since the patient does have a history of neuropathy.
EXTREMITIES: See skin above. Otherwise, upper extremities, radial and ulnar pulses, reflexes are equal and symmetrical, 2/3. Proprioception is preserved. There is some mild motor muscular atrophy. Upper extremities, bilaterally, are symmetrical. Lower extremity shows right BKA, marked sensorial deficits, including proprioception on the left side. Digits were pale but not cool to touch. Dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial pulses were diminished. Reflexes, however, were intact.
NEUROLOGICAL: See above and skin for neurologic or neuropathic changes; otherwise, grossly symmetrical without any gross deficit or obvious cognitive deficit.
1. Paraplegia, incomplete, L1, secondary to epidural abscess. PT and OT to evaluate and initiate treatment as necessary. We will continue to follow.
2. Epidural abscess with secondary wound infection. We will continue with dressing changes b.i.d. as above and make changes as necessary. I will review old records, however, for any definitive organism. The patient was methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus positive in the past, and I am not sure if this has been treated or cultured, and he will be treated differently.
3. Foot pressure ulcer. Recommend routine wound care, as well as elevation, pressure release. We can follow.
4. Diabetes. Above noted medications with sliding scale coverage. Fingerstick blood sugar at least q.a.c. and h.s. initially. Hopefully, we will decrease it to twice a day as necessary.
5. Coronary artery disease. The patient is on aspirin as well as a number of cardiac medications. He has no present complaints at this time.
6. Peripheral vascular disease, status post right below-knee amputation. Continue to follow. His capillary refill is extremely sluggish at best in the upper extremities as well as left lower extremity, maybe a candidate for Plavix in the future.
7. Depression. The patient was seen by psychiatry and placed on Wellbutrin. It is only about 100 mg daily at this time. We would increase dosage and continue to follow and reevaluate with psychiatry as necessary.
8. As for code status, discussed with patient, including CPR, medications, cardioversion, and intubation. At this point in time, the patient has indicated he would prefer a full code status, including all of the above.

Robert "Bo" Belinsky (December 7, 1936 – November 23, 2001) was an American Baltimore Orioles. Belinsky is one of only two pitchers in Angels franchise history to start his career with a four-game winning streak or better (the other being Jered Weaver).[1]
"If I'd known I was gonna pitch a no-hitter today, I would have gotten a haircut."
Belinsky had a career record of just 28–51, but threw the first no-hitter in the history of the Los Angeles Angels and the first one at Chavez Ravine (Dodger) Stadium, beating the Baltimore Orioles 2–0 on May 5, 1962.[2]
He was born in New York City, to a Polish-American Catholic father and a Jewish mother, but raised mostly in Trenton, New Jersey, where he became a "street rat" and one-time pool hustler. Belinsky was already notorious as a minor leaguer for his night life during several seasons in the Oriole farm system. His career and life changed when the Angels picked him in a minor league draft for the 1962 season. His pre-season contract holdout and charismatic personality made him a star before he'd thrown a single pitch in major league competition.
But the no-hitter—his fourth straight win at the start of his rookie season—would immortalize his name and, perhaps, mark the beginning of his long downfall. He would finish the 1962 season with a 10–11 win–loss record, a 3.56 earned run average and the league lead in walks (122), the only time Belinsky ever led his league in any pitching category.
Perhaps tellingly, however, after throwing the no-hitter Belinsky also said, "If music be the food of love, by all means let the band play on." The 1962 season was a raucous one for Belinsky in that he became glittering copy for southern California sportswriters with his wit and unapologetic womanizing. "Within days of his no-hitter Belinsky would be heralded as sport's most original and engaging playboy-athlete," pitcher-turned-journalist Pat Jordan wrote in a striking 1971 Sports Illustrated profile. "His name would become synonymous with a lifestyle that was cool and slick and dazzling ... But in time the name Belinsky would become synonymous with something else. It would become synonymous with dissipated talent."
In addition to pitching the first no-hitter in Angels' history, Belinsky was also on the losing end of the first no-hitter ever pitched against the Angels—Earl Wilson's 2–0 gem at Fenway Park on June 26 of the same 1962 season. The Boston Red Sox pitcher hit a home run in that game, one of four no-hit pitchers ever to do so.
Belinsky became a kind of protégé to fading but still influential and show business-connected newspaper columnist Walter Winchell. He was linked romantically, at one time or another, to such women as Ann-Margret, Connie Stevens, Tina Louise and Mamie Van Doren, the last his fiancee for a year. Contemporary player Mike Hegan once said, "Bo had more fun off the field than he did on the field."
Belinsky fell to 1–7 in 1963, and was sent to the Angels' minor league team in Hawaii, where he pitched his way back and finished the year with a 2–9 major league record. A game he pitched and won for the Angels in Chavez Ravine set a record of sorts; the headline the following day in the Los Angeles Times read: "476 – Count 'Em – See Bo Stifle Orioles."
But Belinsky was 9–7 with a career-best 2.86 ERA in August 1964 when came the incident that ended his days with the Angels: a hotel room fight with elderly Los Angeles Times sportswriter Braven Dyer. He was suspended from the Angels, then traded to the Philadelphia Phillies after the season for Costen Shockley and Rudy May. After spending a little over a season with the Phillies, in which he was used mostly as a long reliever before his outright release back to the minors, he also pitched for the Houston Astros, Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds before his career ended in the Cincinnati minor league system in 1970.
"What was clear," Jordan wrote, "was that Belinsky had dissipated a promising career, that people had grown tired of him, and that most of the problem could be traced to his personality. He did not have the knack of such later athletes—the Namaths, Harrelsons and Sandersons—of cultivating his personality precisely up to, but not beyond, that point at which the public became bored with it."
Belinsky married and divorced Playboy Playmate of the Year Jo Collins, then heiress Janie Weyerhaeuser. He eventually overcame alcoholism to become first a counselor and spokesman for the alcohol abuse program he entered in Hawaii, and then an auto agency representative in Las Vegas. Clean, sober and a born-again Christian ("Can you imagine," he was quoted as saying, "finding Jesus Christ in Las Vegas?"), Belinsky battled bladder cancer before his death in Las Vegas of an apparent heart attack at age 64.[2] He is interred at Davis Memorial Park in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Veteran sportswriter Maury Allen wrote a biography of Belinsky, Bo: Pitching and Wooing, "with the uncensored cooperation of Bo Belinsky," in 1973.
I came to the Angels as a kid who thought he had been pushed around by life, by minor league baseball. I was selfish and immature in a lot of ways and I tried to cover that up. I went from a major league ballplayer to hanging onto a brown bag under the bridge, but I had my moments and I have my memories. If I had the attitude about life then that I have now, I'd have done a lot of things differently. But you make your rules and you play by them. I knew the bills would come due eventually, and I knew I wouldn't be able to cover them.
— Bo Belinsky to Ross Newhan, in The Anaheim Angels: A Complete History
Gloria Eves, a former nightclub cashier and hatcheck attendant, filed a $150,000 damage suit against Belinsky following an assault on June 13, 1962. Eves, a resident of 7130 Hollywood Boulevard, claimed to have been dragged by Belinsky from the rear seat of his late model Cadillac.[3] She asked $50,000 for disfigurement and $100,000 for medical costs and punitive damages.[4] Prior to the 5 A.M. incident, Belinsky had partied with a group of Hollywood celebrities, including Eddie Fisher, Dean Martin, Keely Smith and Henry Fonda.[3] Eves refused to press charges immediately afterward.[5]
Eves received six surgical sutures after hitting her head during the altercation. Earlier on the same evening Eves and her roommate, Bridget (Bright)[6] Whitaker, 33, had attended a party at the Ambassador Hotel and another at a private home in Beverly Hills.[7] A Los Angeles Police Department officer held Belinsky for questioning before he was released after his story was corroborated by Whitaker and his teammate, Dean Chance. Both confirmed his statement that Eves' eye injury sustained during the fracas was accidental, but in any event Belinsky's encounter with Eves was detrimental to his career, tarnishing his reputation following his no-hitter.[8]

Forgiveness (3)
By MeL Scribe, Australia
Short Story: Forgiveness
"Please, let me go," he pleaded. I looked down at him in his miserable state.
"I don't belong in that gang, I don't belong in any gang anymore. Please," he continued.
"But it doesn't change what happened, does it? You were the one who killed my girlfriend!" I screamed at him, giving vent to my hatred. "You have no idea how much I love her."
Suddenly his face hardened. "It doesn't change the fact that your girlfriend was the one who killed my brother," he spat, dignified.
"That was an accident. She would never kill anyone!"
"Accident or no accident, my brother is dead!"
"A life for a life," I agreed bitterly. "My girlfriend for your brother. Now we are even."
" 'The past can hurt, but you can either run from it, or learn from it,' someone said to me once," he repeated, as though quoting a person he highly respects.
"So you have been running from your past, while I have been running to find you," I growled.
Why wouldn't my arm move to slice his throat? My other hand was wrapped around his neck; his back pushed against the wall. His feet were still on the ground, but he was entirely at my mercy.
"And now that you have found me, you are afraid," he mocked.
"You forget who holds the knife," I muttered. "And whose life is at stake, you fool?"
"I'm sick of pleading for forgiveness."
"How quickly we sink back into our old ways!" I paused, my mind suddenly remembering something my girlfriend had said to me:
"I know you have your friends in this gang, but it's not good for you.
It's your decision in the end, and I'll love you whatever you choose.
However, I think it best if you leave them. These are my best interests for you,"
she had said quietly.
She had made it sound so simple. How would she have any idea what it would mean if I gave up the gang? She couldn't understand that if I leave them, I would have nowhere to go, nothing to do, no way to survive.
She and all her Christian values. She had come from the ideal background–a loving family, good education, hope for a future, money to spend, never a worry about where her next meal came from. She had everything, including a perfection I could never achieve.
"I only hope that if you choose to leave the gang, you won't fall back into your old ways,
whatever the future may bring," she whispered, as though assured of something I didn't know.
"You're worth more than this, I know it. You're worth more than a cycle of revenge and hatred."
It was her angelic face that flashed in my mind now, soft and meek. How could I bear it if her death was never avenged? But then, what would she think if I kill for her sake? I shook my head in confusion, my thoughts a blur.
I straightened my arm above my victim, my grip on the knife tightening. I swung the blade in a crescent and dropped it on the pavement.
His face was astonished, his body unmarked.
"This is no accident," I declared. "But it's what she would have wanted. She would have wanted me to forgive you. Now turn from your evil ways," I heard my voice saying, but the words I spoke were not my own thoughts.
I picked up my knife then released him. Slowly I turned away from him, but he called my name before I took another step. "You spared my life. I shall spare yours, friend." He held out his hand, and I shook it. "I know a place that you can board and work. Want to come?"
"Where? With the Salvation Army?" I asked, sarcastically.
"It's not so bad," he said to me.

July 24, 2015
This week is dedicated to all kids going to school. It's a special week, because in this week kids can enjoy studying in a different way, not just sitting in their benches and listening the teacher. In this week kids can do more fun activities, which also teaches them. In order to show the world this, you were hired to take some photos at school and publish them in an article. At the end of the week, you had so many great photos that it was hard for you to choose the best ones. There are some pictures which look identical, so you should find the differences between them. Have fun!

Smart Bathroom Ventilation Z-wave
Smart Bathroom Ventilation | Controll humidity automaticly
One of the best and most useful applications of Z-Wave home automation in a house is the automatic moisture extraction for the bathroom. Most homes are equipped with a central mechanical extractor based on a perilex plug (old) or a 0-10volt motor control. ROBBshop has both made an application to incorporate it into a Z-Wave home automation system. What? Read more.
Option 1 | Z-wave connector based based on Perilex plug
If you have a mechanical ventilation based on a perilex connector follow the steps below.
- Z-wave insertmodule FIBARO 2x1,5kWh
- Z-wave humiditysensor (EVR_ST814 our favorite is no longer available)
The existing installation consists of a three-speed fan (20-50-70Watt). This fan consumes in the old situation at least 20W (about 175 kWh per year / 37 euros). Through a knob, one could increase the extraction to 50W or 70W.
After the modification of the existing perilex plug with a 2x1.5 kW module of FIBARO and applying a Z-wave moisture sensor in the bathroom, it is now possible to switch from the basic position of 20 W (for example, 1 hour to 4 hours, which results in a saving of 75% on the power consumption), but also an automatic shut-off, and in the higher position (position, in this case, 70 Watt) for discharging the moisture present in the wet area. (check themselves as the connection of the plug perilex. Sometimes just a slightly different connection).
Note: We have the high mode (70W) connected to the output O1 of the 2x1,5kw module FIBARO. The advantage is that this output via association group 2 Everspring ST-814 Z-wave temperature and humidity sensor can be associated (output O2 FIBARO module is not to associate with any group in the sensor). You do not need to recreate scene for Badkamer_afzuiging_aan and out and you are also not affected by a possible Wake-up delay, the sensor immediately sends a signal to the Z-Wave module connected to the high ventilation position!
Another solution is to use a ethernet relais switch.
Scheme Z-wave showerventilation
In this picture you can see that L3 (middle ventilation position) is not connected. Due to the fact that a FIBARO 2x1.5kw module has only 2 outputs, we choose to use position 1 (low) and L2 (high). You can use the outputs to your convience. The standard options are 1-2-3 and in our case its off-1-3.
Option 2 | Z-wave bathroom ventilation based 0-10Volt
More and more houses have no perilex circuit but more modern extraction based 0-10volt. The engine (EBM PAPST)'m being send by a 0-10volt signal.
Unfortunally the 0-10Volt module is no longer available, so we have made an alternative solution.
Materials needed:
- Z-wave RGBW module by FIBARO
- 0-10Volt regelmodule by ROBBshop
- Z-wave Humidity sensor EVR_ST814 by Everspring (no longer available). Please use the AeonLabs sensor.
The wiring diagram for the sulfuric house ventilation air continuously variable 0-10 volt control is already follows:
Note for connections: White, blue, yellow and red wires are already connected to the circuit board. Although we have tested it yet, we think the RGBW- module can be connected in parallel to the yellow and blue thread.
A short demonstration video on the operation of the z-wave bathroom ventilation (using the Perilex option).
And an example of home automation bathroom ventilation on the basis of an engine with a 0-10 volt control signal.
Alternative solution for the 0-10Volt motor
Instead of the RGBW-module with PWM output connected to the 0-10V module, we can also use the Qubino 0-10V dimmer. This should work the same.
Z-wave PlusQubino Z-wave plus 0-10 volt dimmer. Can directly dim lights and appliances with 0-10V signal.
Dimmer 0-10v Z-Wave Plus QUBINO59.95
Z-waveThe FIBARO Insert Switch 2 allows controlling two independent loads both via Z-Wave wirelessly and locally utilizing a traditional wall switch. The maximum load per switch is 1500W.Click here for an overview of all the FIBARO modules and their specification.

As an architecture photographer my job is to show your business or real estate location in the best possible light. Whether you are a realtor or individual selling your own home, having professionally photographed images can make all the difference. The same holds true if you have a business and are looking to present your location to prospective customers through your website or social media. Your audience will decide whether they like what they see within just a few seconds – make sure they only see the best.
Realtor.com has a great article on why you want to hire a professional photographer and the difference it can make to your real estate listing. A small investment in professional photography now can mean more interested clients, a quicker sale, and even a higher sale price.
See a sampling of images I have taken of real estate and architecture below. You can also check out the Clients page to see past clients and where my work has been featured.
One thing that makes me different is the way I handle my pricing. I consider myself a low risk photographer in that I offer to sell photos on a per image basis. You don't have to worry that you're investing a considerable sum on an hourly rate only to find out in the end you just want a handful of photographs. My prices are also all inclusive (with the exception of any travel or production costs such as equipment rentals, models, etc.) so you always know what you're getting – and more importantly – what you're spending. This not only helps you stay within your budget but it also allows you to hand select the photos you want and skip the ones you don't.
I also offer hourly, half day and full day rates where appropriate.

Cycling through the streets of some cities can feel like an exercise in taking your life into your own hands.
The bike makes sense in cities. With rising urbanisation, cities need modern mobility solutions, and moving around on two wheels proves time and again that it can offer results. Many cities get this. Many don't. And many more are somewhere in between, wavering on how much to invest, where to invest it, and how, exactly, to make themselves welcoming to cycling and the benefits it brings.
I love riding a bike. It's seems impossible to be unhappy on a bike as you breeze along world. You go fast enough to see everything in a day, but not so fast you will miss anything.
Walking is usually slow and boring and takes forever to get from one 'must-see-sight' to the next. But travelling in a car or on a scooter can be a bit too quick and you end up missing things or not getting a real feel for a place. A bike is the perfect compromise.
So, here is a list of my favourite cities to bike around:
The Seawall runs counter- clockwise around the perimeter of therapy and several roads, trails and paths connect to main points of interest. stunning views of downtown's skyline, Lions Gate Bridge, English Bay, sandy beach and lush old- growth forest. no wonder its consistently being rated the n1 park in the world. its the longest uninterrupted waterfront path in the world
Douglas squirrels, racoons, river otters, beavers, salamanders, purple sea starts and Pacific Great Blue herons, are just some of the species you will encounter.
In the three-mile radius of downtown Munich, you'll travel "more quickly and flexibly on a bike than by any other means of transport." That's according to the city of Munich, where dedicated lanes, bike traffic signals, and hundreds of miles of marked routes create a new type of urban infrastructure. The city provides detailed bike-route diagrams and cycling maps for visitors in search of sights.
Along Lisbon's waterfront there are around 20kms of bike lanes on flat terrain,from the City Center towards East to Parque das Nações
and West to the area of Belém. I could ride along this stretch every single day. the view is stunning!
The Swedish capital's "City Bikes" share system is extremely easy for tourists to utilise, giving you (relatively) cheap access to all the pedal-powered transport you could desire. But the lingonberries on top of your cycling fish cake in Stockholm is the beauty of the city itself, the experience of pedalling its dedicated bike lanes surrounded by Scandinavian charm.
Like Tokyo, the back streets of Kyoto are narrow and quiet – but the difference here is that the scenery once you're on those back streets is stunning. From ancient shops and markets in the downtown area to the temples and shrines of the Higashiyama district, this is Asia's best city to see on two wheels. When it's not raining, that is.
Amsterdam sees a high percentage of commuters—up to 40 percent by some measures—on bikes. Indeed, in a place of about 750,000 people, some reports cite upward of 600,000 bikes coasting past crowded cafés or along the city's famous canals. In recent years, lower speed limits for cars, new paths and lanes with bike-specific traffic signals, and underground parking garages built for bikes are among the features making pedaling even more advantageous in Amsterdam.
Sure, Paris is a world center for fashion, media, art, and business, but it's also home to the world's largest bike-share system. Launched in 2007, the Vélib' system offers 20,000 bikes that rent for less than $1.50 an hour (and if you pedal for less than a half-hour, the ride is free). Vélib' checkout stations are almost as ubiquitous as the bikes, with more than 1,000 kiosk-driven stations in total around the metropolis. Locals and tourists alike pedal cobblestoned streets and bike paths en route to local cafés or sights from the Eiffel Tower to the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

Ari, is the daughter of Ares; the God of War. Half Goddess & half Phoenician, raised in secrecy by her father until her 18th birthday. Ari, ventures out into the mortal realm & crosses paths with an archangel Julius, who bears a message from a seer.
Ari, needs to regain her late mother's crown. But, first must complete a series of trials. Little does she know, she's fighting for her life. Given, only 7 days to prepare, Ari is not only fighting against her inner darkness that is trying to consume her, she now has an unknown enemy that keeps trying to kill her.
Ari doesn't know who she can trust, when she can't even trust herself. Ari does the one thing she knows she must do to survive; by forging herself into the weapon she was born to be.
The setting of Supernatural creatures in Louisiana did have an air of familiarity about it. It reminded me of stories like True Blood and The Originals. The story itself, was rather unique. Instead of your typical combination of Vampires and Werewolves, The Hybrid explored a world that included Demi-Gods and Greek Mythology. Ari, is the daughter of the Greek God of War Ares, and raised in secrecy by him until he is forced to return to Olympus on her 18th birthday.
The characters were well developed and I found myself easily getting pulled into their world!
The book had an overall speedy nature. It was beautifully set up but my disappointment was in the conclusion of the story. It all happened too quickly. I missed the build up and excitement of how things were going to turn out because just as soon as they had started wrapping up, it felt like it was already over.
There was definitely some structural issues with the story but there is certainly a lot of potential for this series and I can't wait to see where it goes next. I received this book in exchange for honest review.
Who am I, you ask? I am a woman who wears many hats. A mother of 3 wonderful boys is my first, and foremost priority. Then it trickles down from there, I'm a wife, an awesome cook, and a mommy to two dogs and a lazy loveable cat. Then there's my alternate life.. The writer :-) she is the kid who refuses to grow up. Stuck in a mind state of a teenager, who still has imaginary friends. The two halves of me get along great!! As long as I let the writer out, and listen to my imaginary friends tell me their stories. I enjoy my time with my imaginary friends . Without them we wouldn't have books or movies :-)
The life of a writer is who you're born to be, not a job you just take on. It's who I am, who I'll always be. -Venus
