If you own an older vehicle, you probably already know how challenging it can be to make the vehicle run smoothly. And if you don't have the know-how regarding vehicles and their many components, then you may be stuck. But, don't worry because we have written this article to help you. Here you will find tips and tricks that will help you maintain your older vehicle and avoid common vehicle problems others tend to run into.
Read on and find out how you can maintain your older vehicle.
- Engine
Your vehicle works because the engine works, and to keep the engine in working condition; you have to feed it with engine oil. The engine oil will ensure that all the components of the engine are well lubricated, they don't heat up, and everything runs smoothly.
Change the engine oil on a regular basis; it is recommended to change the oil after every 5000-7000 miles. When you change the oil, also remember to change the oil filter.
The oil filter is an important component because it catches dust and debris floating in the oil and prevents them from being circulated in the engine.
Another important component of the engine is the air filter. The engine requires constant air flowing into it for combustion. This is the process by which fuel is burnt, and power is generated to move the vehicle. Check the air filters to see if they are dirty and replace them accordingly.
Old engines also need their spark plugs, spark plug wires, and distributor caps changed. This is something that your mechanic will do for you, so make sure to get these components inspected.
- Battery
The battery terminals and the battery itself need to be inspected regularly in an older vehicle. When inspecting these components, you're looking for whether the terminals and cables have succumbed to corrosion or not. Check the battery fluid levels, and ensure they are topped up regularly.
If you notice that the terminals have rust and corrosion, you can always use a rust converter. A rust converter will change the rust into a material that can then be easily removed using sandpaper. Buy the best rust converter to deal with corrosion and rust problems in your vehicle easily.
- Cooling System
Older vehicles have a tendency to overheat; this is because the cooling system hasn't been maintained properly. If you haven't regularly checked the cooling system, you too will run into an overheating episode.
There are two things to look out for when taking care of the cooling system: checking the coolant levels. And secondly, look out for leakages.
- Tires
Tire maintenance is key to safe driving. Always check the air pressure in your tires; depending on the requirements set by your car manufacturers, make sure the pressure complies with the requirements.
Also, check the tire treads. The recommended tread is 1/8 of an inch. The best way to check this is by using a quarter. Place the quarter in between the tread upside down. If Washington's head is completely hidden in the tread, then your tires are fine. However, if the head is visible even a little bit, you need to change your tires.
- Change Belts And Hoses
An important part of caring for an old vehicle is to change the belts and hoses. Belts and hoses deteriorate over time and need to be replaced, especially if your belts have never been changed before. If they break, the damage would be severe, and the repair costs would be far greater than what it would cost to change the belts.
- Fluids
Regularly get your vehicle's fluids checked. This will include brake oil, transmission fluids, power steering fluid, and differential oil. These don't need to be checked often when you've bought a new car, but it is important to check these fluids and keep them at their optimum levels with an older vehicle. So, whenever you're at the service station, ask your mechanic to check these fluids as well.
- Wheel Alignment
Get your wheels aligned every couple of years; if your wheels aren't aligned, then it can lead to uneven wear on the tires and put added stress on the suspension. This will also affect your car's mileage, and you'll be losing money on fuel.
When getting your wheels aligned, ask the mechanic to inspect your wheel bearings as well. Wheel bearings tend to give problems in older cars. It is better to get them inspected and replaced immediately.
- Water Pump
A water pump ensures that the coolant is circulating through the engine and keeping it cool. In older vehicles, the water pump may become faulty and will need to be replaced.
As a rule of thumb, you should replace the water pump after 90,000 miles if it hasn't already given you problems.
- Replacing fuel line
An older vehicle may have cracking fuel lines that will leak fuel. If this isn't inspected and taken care of soon, it can be a huge fire hazard and can lead to a lot of damage. If you notice leakage, get it inspected and get your fuel line replaced after 10,000 miles as a rule of thumb.
- Wiper Blades
Replace your wiper blades on a regular basis. Older wiper blades will not be helpful in clearing up your vision during rain and can be a cause of reduced visibility. Old wiper blades also become stiff and cause scratches on your windshield.
- Constant Velocity Joints
This is for front-wheel-drive cars; if you hear a clicking sound when making a sharp turn, this means that your CV joint needs to be replaced. This occurs mostly in older vehicles that are front-wheel drive.
We hope this article has given you enough knowledge about how to maintain your older vehicle. It may seem like a lot of work, but if you can check off all the points we have listed above, your car will run smoothly and give you those new car feels you desire.

As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to help keep your household warm and cozy in order to keep your loved ones comfortable and healthy. With colder temperatures approaching, it's a good time to consider the health of your home's furnace. As a rule of thumb, if your furnace is older than 15 years, or it needs frequent repairs, it may be time for a replacement. Scheduled tune-up services are essential for thwarting off the need for repairs, especially emergency service. Regular maintenance makes it possible for a heating expert to monitor your furnace and make minor repairs and adjustments along the way. This keeps your system in the healthiest condition possible.

For some people, the scarier the better when it comes to Halloween decorations. A zombie girl with glowing eyes who rips the head off her teddy bear? OK. A 6-foot-tall, chainsaw-wielding hulk who emits bloodcurdling screams and buzzing? Trick or treat!
Decorating with scary stuff can be part of the fun.
But other people, including those with little kids, find the aesthetic disturbing, and prefer their Halloween without the gore.
"I want to preserve my little ones' innocence as long as possible, and the creepy, mischievous, evil side of Halloween brings up topics I don't want my child to know about until they're old enough to understand it's fake," says Jamie Morrissey, who has three children under 3 in suburban New York.
For those after a more dialed-down but still spooky and dramatic look, there are plenty of decorations and themes.
Some play off of old science and wizardry, with celestial illustrations and apothecary elements. Some take a playfully gothic turn. There's the traditional orange-and-black color scheme, but no reason to stick only to that.
(Note: As for fake cobwebs and dangling lights, wildlife experts urge people not to put them up. Animals can get tangled and trapped in them, leading to injury or death.)
Jessica Dodell-Feder, HGTV Magazine's executive editor, bleeds the color from her decorations.
"I love keeping everything black and white, then using natural elements that have a little bit of a creepy factor like bats, snakes, bugs or Venus fly traps," she says. "Think black-painted branches sticking out of an urn; framed faux moth specimens; black-painted faux snakes 'crawling' across the center of a table like a runner."
At the other end of the spectrum, if you want to take your Halloween a little bit '90s, a little bit Barbiecore, then professional crafter Kara Whitten of Austin, Texas, has some zingy, rainbow-hued, Halloween-themed ideas at her site, akailochiclife. She offers garlands of multicolored pumpkins or phrases, like "Hocus Pocus" or "I Put a Spell on You." She has instructions for spatter-painting faux pumpkins in day-glo colors.
Another craft idea that kids and adults can do together:
Submerge a few white tapers in warm water until they're soft enough to bend into curvy shapes. Then with a permanent marker add facial features. Once they've cooled and hardened again, you've got some candle ghosts for the table. There's a DIY video on Whitten's blog.
Betsy Cribb Watson, Southern Living's senior homes and features editor, favors fall colors.
"I'm not huge on Halloween, so I love leaning into the season's abundance of natural colors instead: sage greens, burnt oranges, golden yellows and chocolate browns," she says.
"Plus, when you skip the zombies in favor of fall color, you can enjoy your decorations from the start of the season through Thanksgiving."
But Watson acknowledges it's no fun to be a Halloween Scrooge, either.
She finds the handmade ghosts from Mollie Jenkins Pottery "just the right mix of sweet and spooky."
Jenkins is a Columbus, Georgia, ceramic artist who found herself with a little extra white clay one fall semester while pursuing her B.F.A. at Auburn University.
"My mom's always loved decorating for the holidays, and growing up we had spooky Halloween candlesticks along with big terracotta jack-o'-lanterns. I took a spin off of those, creating my whimsical ghost," she said.
Her little specters have developed a following, and sell out every year on her site.
Inviting some friends over for a spooky soiree?
For a Hogwarts feel, hang some of Balsam Hill's battery-operated "floating candles" over a party table or entry. The retailer also has stacked black pumpkin lights with cat faces, and glittery black twig trees.
Crate & Barrel's got a twiggy, matte-black wreath for a mantel or door. Or create a modern Halloween village with a few of their matte-black haunted houses.
Lauren McIntosh, an artist in Berkeley, California, has created a collection of glassware and napkins for Anthropologie with illustrations including a fortune-teller's palm, ravens, night-blooming flowers, and mystical moon and star patterns. Also for Anthropologie, London ceramicist Francesca Kaye has an endearing array of bats, cats, owls and ravens on trays, mugs, lanterns and a candelabra.
Dodell-Felder shares a party idea connected to the movie "Beetlejuice," which gets a new installment as early as next year.
"I'm a huge fan of Tim Burton, and recently ended up purely by accident at a Beetlejuice-themed bar. It had black-and-white striped décor with neon green elements. The drinks were served on dry ice, and they had old-timey portraits on the walls. You couldn't look away!" she says.
For "an elevated Halloween party," The Spruce's editorial and strategy director, Caroline Utz, suggests setting up a tablescape with luxe textures like velvet, and adding orange, purple and green candlesticks in different shapes and sizes. Sculptured Greek or Roman busts might add a "Night at the Museum" vibe.
In San Francisco, Emily Reaman works in interior design, and she's also got a preschooler. While he loves some "spooky" things, she's careful about her decorating.
"I don't have cobwebs or skeletons hanging by my front door," she says. "But I do add lights to the trees, and my son and I decorate gourds with paint and glitter that we keep out during Halloween, then use on the Thanksgiving table."

The Netherlands has been the real deal in the whole of FIFA history. This will be the 11th time they will make their appearance in the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar. They have been very consistent for a long time, and indeed 1934 and 1938 were when everyone accepted the Netherlands as a strong team.
In 1974 for the first time, they made it to the final and the journey was undoubtedly amazing as they defeated some strong teams who were the best at that time. In Round 1 they finished the table by winning 2 matches out of 3 and qualified for Round 2 where they defeated Argentina by 4-0, East Germany 0-2, and Brazil by 2-0, and at last they made it to the final but unfortunately they lost to West Germany by 2-1.
Again in 1978, they had the same dream and the same energy and there is no doubt that everyone thought this time Netherlands gonna lift that trophy out of nowhere they did make it to the finals after clearing their Round 1 and Round 2 but in the final, it was Argentina and the match ended up as 3-1 and Argentina lifted their first World Cup trophy.
The journey continued and in 1990 they got eliminated in the round of 16. In 1994 they were close to the finals but got defeated by Brazil in Quarter Final. Eight years later, it was again in The Round of 16 games and lost the match against Portugal. In 2010, It was the time when the Netherlands again made it to the finals. However, the curse of losing big matches followed them and Spain lifted the trophy. The last appearance of the Netherlands was the 2014 edition of the World Cup and again Argentina was the one who crushed Netherlands' dream by winning the penalties in Semi-Final and they placed third by defeating Brazil. Subsequently, In Russia, The Dutch failed to qualify and had to watch the games from home.
Can Netherlands finally get rid of the big game curse? After all, they have a great team that includes Frenkie de Jong, Memphis Depay, Virgil van Dijk and also a great depth.
This is the last-minute sales phase and the online phase is open. It will dash until the end of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 on 18th December. The purchasers have to buy tickets as soon as the phase opens as tickets will sell out quickly. Also, The tickets will be handed out on a first came first-served basis and the process of purchase is a real-time transaction, subject to availability. All the successfully procured tickets will be seasoned to the ticket applicants. Check out FIFA.com/tickets regularly for more information regarding the tickets and other figures.
Netherlands FIFA Schedule, Day, Date, Opponent, and Venue
Day | Date | Time | Opponent | Venue |
Monday | 21st November | 9:30 p.m | Senegal | AI Thumama Stadium |
Friday | 25th November | 9:30 p.m | Ecuador | Khalifa International Stadium |
Tuesday | 29th November | 8:30 p.m | Qatar | AI Bayt Stadium |
Netherlands are in Group A and the opponents are Senegal, Ecuador, and Qatar. The Netherlands is the most experienced team in this group and has a high chance to qualify for another Round. Senegal can be the team who can dominate the Netherlands as they did win a trophy in 2021 and Netherlands did not qualify for the 2018 World Cup but it is all past and Netherlands will not give any loose threads this time.

As women's week is being celebrated all around the world, I started to gather my thoughts. I have come across so many incredible women in my life who transcend the distinctions created by gender. I feel it is important to tell their stories to the world so that everyone, not just women, can be an audience to the level of dedication, perseverance and vision that can bring the unfathomable to light.
Dr. Jane Goodall
Dr. Jane Goodall is the world-renowned primatologist who changed the way human beings were described. She discovered that chimpanzees make tools and use the same for various purposes as fishing for termites. Before her revelation, only human beings were considered to be ultimate tool-makers.
Her tireless work for the chimpanzees and conservation of our natural world has inspired me ever since I was a teenager. As messenger of peace (United Nations) she travels around the world spreading the importance of conservation and animals along with the linkage of humans with their surrounding.
I got a chance to meet her for the first time couple of years back when she came to Nepal to attend a programme organised by the Jane Goodall Institute in Kathmandu.
When she started her journey, she was in her twenties with no background in conservation or science. But since then, her strong-headed nature, positive outlook and never-tiring vision has changed the world for chimpanzees and the field of conservation forever.
Personally she is funny, insightful and hopeful. Her inspirational speeches and messages to the world still keeps the hope alive.
Dr. Vandana Shiva
A number of years back, USAID brought forward the concept of food security through a company called Monsanto.
Monsanto's work is not new to many people but for those who are unaware of the same, Monsanto is notoriously famous for its (Genetically Modified Organisms) GMO-based Agro products ranging from seeds to fertilizer.
While we are still learning about the effects of genetically modified crops, there is a growing concern over its lingering outcome. Monsanto is one of several such companies holding huge shares in companies that research on the issue, and the results have been contradictory results.
Activists in Nepal didn't let Monsanto take over the market. However, in our neighboring country India, a series of suicides by farmers turned the general concern into a growing fear.
In such times, Dr. Vandana Shiva emerged as the initiator of a movement that strives to safeguard the rights of farmers and conservation of indigenous seeds. Her center for studies of local agriculture practices and seed banking called Navdanya. It brings such issues to attention and provides an environment to conduct projects and gather as much information as available.
During her last visit to Kathmandu to attend a programme conducted by Social Science Baha, she gave an impressive talk on the dire need of awareness and understanding of the importance of indigenous seeds and safeguarding of the rights of farmers. Her flawless delivery and intelligent arguments took everybody in that room with awe. She is indeed an epitome of elegance and strength.
Sapana Pradhan Malla
I have worked as freelance reporter at FWLD (Forum for Women, Law and Development), a non profit working for the preservation and facilitation of rights of women and advocate to eradicate and challenge any form of discrimination against them.
At FWLD, I got the opportunity to work under the supervision of Sapana Pradhan Malla. I am still taken aback by her strong personality and think of her utmost appreciation and respect. She has brought forward the issues related to women and taken them to the next level through legislation after being appointed Member of Parliament.
The issues of domestic violence, protection of rights of third gender community and citizenship through mother's lineage are some of the burning issues highlighted by FWLD under her supervision. It is women like her who open portals for others to be the agents of change through the system itself. I have always made sure that whenever I greet her, I do it with deep respect and thorough acknowledgement for the person she is.
My Ama
Ama, my great grandmother, was the matriarch of our household although not by choice. After losing her husband, one of her sons (my grandfather) and a daughter, she could have easily turned into a depressed soul. However, my first memories and my last ones of her does not encompass anything weak or fragile.
She was a powerhouse: belting out swear words and strong-will with equal determination. She demanded full respect from everyone who met her and took charge of her home, her fields and her fish ponds with such authority that as long as she lived not a single person challenged her judgement.
Imagine a widow in a strictly feudal set up along the plains of Terai taking over her husband without any education or experience! She became so strong and successful that even today long after her death, her name is taken with respect and love by everyone who knew her.
In my heart,I remember the sound of her rubber soles, her big heavy powered glasses that made her eyes seem huge, her bottle of chawanprash that we secretly stole from, her voice that sent shivers down the spine of people who had wronged anyone else and her flow of swear words that tutored me to learn the first of such words.
Her white saree, her wrinkly smile, her grey head and her notorious laughter makes her one woman I always strive to be like. Even today whenever any one of us, from her side of the family, becomes angry or impulsive or speak our mind fearlessly, we look at each other and say "Lalkumari ko ta ragat."

Homeschooling can take place anywhere and any time. I personally have 3 spots that I use consistently to do real schooling (versus computer games, board games, outdoor observations, etc). The first is group activities like art and history activities. That happens at the kitchen table so I can sit everyone up at once and help them all.
Then for the NerdBug (who is the only official schooler) I have him do a lot of work at the kitchen island. It keeps him close enough to observe without sitting on him. I usually cook or clean the kitchen at the same time.
Then we have reading time on the couch. We read history, science books, literature, well just about anything. We all snuggle in before naptime just about everyday and read together.
So where do you homeschool?

Naturally not acceptable
The unhealthy affects of natural hair discrimination on Black women
January 2, 2021
In the Black community, hair has always been a staple of our culture. As children, we were taught by society that our natural hair was not good, that it was some type of curse bestowed on us.
In elementary school, I woke early every Sunday morning before church crying about getting my hair flat ironed. I never liked it at all. In fact, I am still terrified of flat irons.
Waking up extra early everyday getting my hair done because my hair was different made me agitated. I longed to have the silky straight long hair of my classmates. I often felt left out of my friends brading circles because my hair was so different from what they expected. I felt out of place because my hair wasn't that long and it wasn't as straight as the other girls.
Around fifth and sixth grade my mother, sister and I decided to go natural. My hair was so damaged from the years of abuse that it took so long for it to get back to being healthy. My father wasn't too fond of my new hair styles. He would often call it "nappy" and "unkept." It really made me self conscious, so I decided to start getting my hair braided.
Being the only girl in a predominantly white school was quite tough. People often referred to my braids as "ghetto," "disgusting," "unkempt" and "unprofessional." As a middle schooler, this impacted my self confidence. I would usually straighten my hair once a year at this point. Whenever I did, I would receive a flood of compliments, which made me question if my natural hair really was some type of curse. As a child a lot of kids always made fun of my hair.
This single narrative has been pushed on many Black children, a struggle deeply rooted in racism. In certain schools, there are policies against wearing natural afrocentric hairstyles like braids and locs. For example, DeAndre Arnold, a Texas teen was suspended in January 2020 for "violating" the school dress code. He was told to cut his locs or he would not be able to walk for his graduation. Another case is Faith Fennidy, a young girl In New Orleans sent home from school for violating the dress code for her braided hair extensions.
The effects of this discrimination cause insecurity, especially in Black women. As a Black woman, at times I feel like my hair is not professional enough for me taken seriously. I have worried about getting jobs due to my locs. I do even get derogatory terms thrown at me. One girl even said I look like a "thug" now due to my new style. It really made me question why she said that. I wanted to tell her how offensive that was because it made me angry. But I remembered she has never had someone make comments about her hair. Girls like her have been praised for their blond straight hair worldwide. Girls like her get compared to Barbies and are a symbol of perfection. Why is my hair any different?

The Office of the Inspector General assessed nine websites operated by the Department of Homeland Security, which has over 125 publicly accessible websites in total. It found that, while operating system configuration followed best practices, few of them have the tools or experience to assess web applications in the same way.
This discovery reflects a recent report from the SANS Institute, which said that organisations were too heavily focused on securing operating systems, when web applications represented the biggest security vulnerability.
"These vulnerabilities could put DHS data at risk", said the report. "In addition, DHS can make improvements in managing its system inventory and providing technical oversight and guidance in order to evaluate the security threats to its public facing websites."
Website inventory was still poor, according to the report, which said that the Customs and Border Patrol website was not certified or accredited. Neither was it inventoried under a general support system or major application. And the main public website for the United States Secret Service is still hosted by the Treasury Department, with no official agreement to ensure its protection.
Large sections of the report detailing exact vulnerability assessments were redacted. However, the recommendations to the Department of Homeland Security were left public. It should require periodic security vulnerability assessments, apply security patches promptly, clarify its vulnerability assessment policy and guidelines, and inventory the public-facing website elements of major applications, the report said.
It should also direct the Customs and Border Patrol to certify and accredit its public facing website. The United States Secret Service should also move its website under the Department of Homeland Security's security program.
The websites operated by other agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Protection and Programs Directorate, and United States Coast Guard contained no critical or high security vulnerabilities, according to the report, which said that they set the example of an effective defense-in-depth approach to security.

How to Split and Transplant Aloe Plants Successfully at Home
If you've found yourself with a group of aloe plants that have become a bit crowded in their pot, consider splitting and propagating the plants. By separating the plants and transplanting them into new containers, you will end up with a few new potted aloe plants. In this guide, I'll run through how I successfully divide both aloe plants with divisions and aloe plants with pups.
How to Split an Aloe Plant
If you have an overgrown aloe plant or one with lots of pups, you may be thinking about splitting your monster aloe into two or more plants.
The best time to split an aloe plant is in the late winter or early spring, right before the plant resumes rapid growth. You can divide plants at other times, but early in the year is the best choice.
Once your aloe plant is in hand, follow these steps to split/divide it.
Splitting an Aloe Plant with Divisions
Sometimes, aloe plants naturally divide, which makes the propagation process even easier. The result is what appears to be two or more large aloe plants growing next to each other.
Follow these steps to separate these divisions into multiple plants.
1) Remove the Plant from the Planter
If you're splitting your plant indoors, lay out an old sheet or towel to allow for easy cleanup.
Gently tug on the aloe plant until its root ball slides out from the pot. If the root ball is difficult to remove, you can try tapping the sides of the pot.
Knock off any loose soil to get a better look at roots.
2) Identify and Separate Individual Plants
Once the root ball is out of the pot, it's time to tease apart the individual plants. Each rosette of leaves can be separated into an individual plant.
Depending on the strength and vigor of the plant's roots, you may be able to separate the roots using your hands. If this proves difficult or the plants begin breaking, grab a clean knife or pair of pruning shears.
Aim to cut the roots, so each individual plant is left with enough roots to thrive.
Splitting an Aloe Plant with Offsets
Aloe plants are known for producing offsets, aka plantlets or pups. These small plants emerge at the base of larger aloe plants.
Removing the pups from the parent plant will give the larger plant sufficient space to grow. It will also provide you with another potted aloe plant.
Splitting pups from a larger aloe plant is as simple as removing the smaller plants from the pot. You can often remove the smaller plant while leaving the larger one in the container.
To remove the pup, grasp it near the base and gently wiggle. You can cut the roots with a knife if it doesn't easily come loose.
How to Transplant an Aloe Plant
Once you have an unpotted aloe plant, it's time to give it a new home.
First, you'll need to find a container with drainage holes. The container should be just a bit larger than the plant's root system (you can also consider growing transplanted aloe plants in water).
Next, fill the bottom quarter of the pot with well-draining potting soil. Since aloe plants are succulents, they can handle drought but hate wet soil.
It's best to use a potting mix that is designed for cacti and succulents.
Add the aloe plant to the pot, then fill the remaining empty space with more soil mix. Water well and place the plant in a warm and dry location with bright light.
Whilst aloe plants offer a host of uses and benefits, the latex layer between an aloe leaf's skin and flesh is considered toxic, so it's generally prudent to wear protective gloves when performing these types of plant care activities.
Provide You New Plants with the Proper Care
After you transplant your aloe plant, you can expect it to exhibit a few signs of stress. However, providing it with the proper care will allow it to recover and grow into a healthy plant.

Activation Report – GW/NW-044 & GW/NW-051 on 28th Feb-09.
Moel Famau, QRP.
2E0EDX/P, Unaccompanied.
All times: UTC on 28-02-09.
Left a very clear, dry and very mild though overcast Blackpool at 0815 hours, with the intention of dropping off the XYL and daughter No2 with family in Chester, while I, passport in hand, entered North Wales on a double activation of Moel Famau & Foel Fenlli. Soon on the wide track to Moel Famau's tower which at the time I arrived was more like the M6 with families and fell walkers going in both directions. Time to summit was good on this easy track even though obstacles were encountered on the way with large deposits of dog pooh! At the summit it was cold, fresh wind and low cloud. I positioned myself near the fence & stile showing the way to Loggerheads and set-up both the VX-170 with RSS and the 4m Wouxun KG-699E with military ground-spike antenna. At 1140 hours started operating on 2m FM and straight into a pile-up (apologies to those waiting to work me on 4m) with the furthest contact being Stewart G0LGS in Cheltenham and my first Summit to Summit of the day working Alun 2W0CYM/P on Foel Fenlli NW-051. Arranged with Alun an eyeball and chat as he was activating Moel Famau once clear of Foel Fenlli. At 1245 hours changed over to 4m FM and worked Ron GW4EVX, G4ZRP, John MW1FGQ and Mike G4BLH all with excellent reports. Just packing all away at approximately 1300 hours when Alun arrived at the summit, introductions over, explanation and showing both the Wouxun and military antenna of which he seemed interested in, arranged Summit to Summit from NW-051 and I was off back down the track to the car park and Foel Fenlli.
2m – 37 with 1 S to S
4m - 4
Foel Fenlli, QRP.
2E0EDX/P, Unaccompanied.
All times: UTC on 28-02-09.
Arrived at the summit at approximately 1400 hours and set-up the same configuration as that on Moel Famau. Quick brew and considered the last activation, this time I would start off on 4m to avoid any pile-up on 2m. However, noting Alun 2W0CYM/P was waiting for me, worked him initially for the Summit to Summit on Moel Famau (thanks Alun) on 2m. QSY to 4m and called CQ on 70.450Mhz working Steve GW7AAV and then astonished to hear Steve G1INK/PM who was just starting off on his ascent of Shining Tor SP-004 from the Cat & Fiddle. Followed by John MW1FGQ, John G0NAJ and further astonished to hear Mike GW0DSP/P with his new acquisition working from his back garden on the rubber duck, this was Mikes first contact ever on 4m and also his first ever SOTA contact on this band. I then worked Ron GW4EVX and finally Steve G1INK/P Summit to Summit from Shining Tor SP-004 59 both ways, my second Summit to Summit on 4m ever. I further heard a strong signal from G6LLX in the Forest of Dean, however,he was in QSO and I cracked on with 2m.
Back onto 2m Fm and straight into a further Summit to Summit contact with David M3WOW/P on G/SB-002, a unique for me, my 4th of the day. Plenty more contacts followed and although calling 'last call' around 1515 hours I was still working with Roger MW0IDX at 1529 hours before finally being allowed to go QRT… Hi! I would have liked to have stayed longer but XYL etc would have grounded me if I had not picked them up at time agreed… Hi!
2m – 14 with 3 S to S
4m – 7
A very enjoyable day was had in North Wales activating and my sincere thanks to all activators/chasers worked, who were at times patient, humorous (my pronunciation of Welsh summits will improve) and dedicated to SOTA.

With the interest rate cycle at a crossroads, now more than at any time in the post-financial crisis era, investors will need to find the right balance when allocating some (or all) of their fixed income exposure to a strategic bond fund.
For some investors a strategic bond fund offers a one stop shop for all their fixed income needs, however given the wide universe of strategies we would caution against taking this one-size-fits-all approach.
The Investment Association defines the IA Strategic Bond universe as "Funds which invest at least 80 per cent of their assets in sterling denominated (or hedged back to sterling) fixed interest securities. At any point in time the asset allocation of these funds could theoretically place the fund in one of the other fixed interest sectors"
Consequently investors, at any one point, can end up with a fixed income allocation that could be correlated to lower-risk, government bonds or higher risk, high yielding bonds. In reality the IA sector definition gives rise to a wide range of strategies that generate significantly different risk-adjusted return profiles.
The matter is only compounded by the fact that there are not enough IA sector classifications across the fixed income asset class. This means some asset managers are forced to 'dump' certain funds in to the sector, and inflation-linked bonds are a good example of this.
So how should one start their search for the ubiquitous Strategic Bond fund? Well, therein lies the first mistake - to consider a strategic bond fund in isolation is relatively futile. In the first instance investors need to understand what they are looking to achieve from their chosen fund, or more broadly, what role should the fund play in their multi-asset portfolio?
From this perspective investors should not consider strategic bond funds to be a like-for-like swap for duration in their portfolio. The flexibility of the Strategic Bond mandate allows managers to ramp up (and down) the years of duration in a portfolio without much, if any, constraint.
One categorisation of funds in the strategic bond universe can be defined as 'unconstrained'. They represent the evolution of the more traditional "core plus" strategies which are managed to a broad global bond benchmark with off-benchmark allocations to asset classes like emerging market debt and high yield.
While there may be the flexibility to be short parts of the bond market, either rates or credit, these funds will typically have a higher correlation to movements in the yield curve and credit spreads. Performance is often assessed against composite benchmarks, for example a fund might create a benchmark that is comprised of: one-third government bond index, one-third investment grade credit and one-third high yield (these could be regional or global indices).
One example of a strong fund in this space is the M&G Optimal Income fund.

A second category of fund in the universe can be defined as 'multi-strategy credit'. These funds contain exposure to a combination of investment grade and sub-investment grade credit.
Through active management of the credit beta the fund manager is able to be positioned defensively through greater exposure to cash and investment grade bonds (and sometimes safe-haven government bonds). Conversely, the fund manager is also able to be positioned aggressively through greater exposure to high yield bonds. Such strategies are likely to be highly correlated to the broad credit market, making them more risky than the previous categorisation. A strong fund in this space is the Jupiter Strategic Bond fund.
While absolute return funds have their own IA sector, there is some merit to considering them within the confines of an investor's fixed income allocation.
The fixed income funds in that sector typically have a low correlation to equity market beta and are primarily focussed on preserving capital values. These low volatility funds produce a Sharpe ratio of around one and are managed to a pre-defined performance target. Furthermore, they broadly maintain some duration in the portfolio, which can provide protection in risk-off periods for markets.
One example of a strong fund in this space is the BNYM Absolute Return Bond fund.
Performance of different strategic bond fund styles over 1yr
Source: FE Analytics
At a very simple level some are focused on generating income, while others attempt to generate a total return utilising the full range of securities within fixed income, including derivatives. This means investors should view any allocation to a fund in this sector within the confines of their current portfolio and whether their chosen fund complements their current asset allocation.
This brings us to a final word of warning - beware of funds that attempt to benchmark themselves to the wider IA Strategic Bond universe. The vastly different risk-adjusted return profiles of constituents in this space results in shorter-term, quartile performance that can often be a simple reflection of the credit cycle.

If you are having trouble with your Mitsubishi air conditioner, then the simple way to get rid of that problem is to reset it just like any other electronic appliance. Before calling a technician, try resetting your Mitsubishi air conditioner. It will help to resolve minor issues like power outages, error codes, or remote control button failure and it will make AC cool properly.
This article will help you to learn when and how you can reset your Mitsubishi air conditioner to restore proper functioning and troubleshoot issues.
Let's get started!
When to reset Mitsubishi AC
Have you ever faced any problems in figuring out when to reset your Mitsubishi air conditioner? Here are some common signs when you know it's time to reset your air conditioner.
If your Mitsubishi air conditioner is blowing only warm air, the most common reason is a thermostat error. Fortunately, this issue can often be resolved simply by resetting the air conditioner. But it should be better if you review the warranty guidelines for additional care and protection, before resetting your air conditioner. Here are some easy steps that will help you to reset your air conditioner.

- How to Reset Mitsubishi Air Conditioner
How to reset Mitsubishi Air Conditioner Step by Step
Step 1. Shut down the indoor unit.
For starting the process, simply you have to shut down the power button as you normally do.
Step 2. Turn off the breaker.
Locate and switch off the Mitsubishi air conditioner unit's breaker. If you are facing any difficulty in finding it then simply open the circuit breaker box and look for a circuit with the air conditioning label.
If you are unable to find it then search for the switch in the neutral position and make sure to turn it off.
Step 3. Hold on for 30 seconds.
You have to wait for approximately 30 seconds to fully reset in the given duration. As the Mitsubishi air conditioner does not reset immediately. To protect itself from malfunctioning, the system may require additional time to recover from a power outage. In this type of situation, it's better to wait for up to a minute.
Step 4. Turn on the breaker.
You can turn on the breaker again after waiting for 30 seconds.
Step 5. Switch on the Remote/Thermostat.
You may now switch on your remote or thermostat. Make sure that you have selected the correct setting and confirmed that your air conditioner is now actively cooling.
Since this type of issue is hard to diagnose, check to see if the breaker has tripped off and if it won't start. Your Mitsubishi should start and operate as it should if everything seems to be in order.
Wait! No lights are on (on the indoor unit)
After turning on the air conditioner if no indicator lights are on then it means you might have blown a fuse on the air conditioner during the reset process.
It's better to call a technician first before attempting the replacement of the fuse by yourself. The technician may install an inline fuse holder for your convenience so you easily replace it in case the fuse blows again.
It's important to note that in some cases the indoor indicator light may be on first yet, even after a three-minute interval, the outdoor unit may still not initiate. In this case, it's better to call a professional technician to repair the fuse of your air conditioner.
What to Do When Your AC Remote Says "PLEASE WAIT"
There is no need to worry if your air conditioner displays the message "Please Wait". The only thing you need is to be patient for approximately 3 minutes until the initial setup completely takes place.
Tripped Breaker: AC Won't Resume After Reset!
After resetting your air conditioner if the breaker trips soon, then it is a sign that you might have to handle another major issue before resetting the air conditioner circuit breaker again.
Regrettably, it could be difficult to identify the problem your air conditioner is facing.
For instance, it could be because of a dirty condenser coil or a blocked filter. Consider cleaning the condenser coil or replacing the filter to figure out what the issue is.
Other possible problem includes damaged fan motors, leakage of refrigerant, compressor failure, and unsecured wiring.
Wait for approximately 3 minutes before attempting again if your air conditioner refuses to start after a double reset, even after pressing the ON/ OFF button.
Sometimes to protect the air conditioner it automatically starts the delay of the beginning of operation.
How to reset the Mitsubishi mini split air conditioner?
You just need to press the "reset" button (located at the bottom) if you are finding yourself needing to reset a Mitsubishi mini split air conditioner due to unresponsive controls.
If you are lucky enough then this issue can simply resolve by resetting it. You need to keep in mind that if it will trip you may need to reset the breaker as well.
How to reset the Mitsubishi air conditioner remote?
First, try to reset it by removing the batteries of the remote if your air conditioner is still not working and you think resetting will help it then press and hold the remote's power button for a few seconds. The button light will flash twice in rapid succession before gradually fading away.
Now you can operate the air conditioner as your remote has been reset.
How to reset Mitsubishi air conditioner thermostat?
If you are thinking that the thermostat is the source of the issue, it would be advisable to perform a reset using the following method:
- Locate the circuit breaker that is controlling your HVAC system.
- Now switch it to the "off" position.
- Wait around 30 seconds for the reset procedure to finish.
- Once again switch the breaker to the "on" position.
- Turn back to your thermostat and choose the preferred settings node (heat/cool). Then adjust the temperature settings according to your need.
- Now check the system if it is working properly.

As DCIG and SMB Research put together the DCIG 2011 Virtual Server Backup Software Buyer's Guide, we became aware that Arkeia was up to something special with its deduplication technology. Arkeia had in late 2009 acquired Kadena and was in the process of absorbing and incorporating its technology into its core Arkeia Network Backup solution. Now that the release of Arkeia v9 is official, it takes the best of what deduplication has to offer and makes it better in the form of Progressive Deduplication™ technology.
Progressive Deduplication eschewed each of the traditional approaches (fixed-length block and variable-length block) of deduplication in favor of a new approach: overlapping fixed-length blocks where a file's block size is optimized based on file type.
Using fixed-length block deduplication data is divided into blocks of a known and consistent size, usually ranging from 32KB to 1MB. This technique offers fair data compression at a high processing speed but sacrifices optimal deduplication as fixed-length block deduplication cannot tolerate changes where data is inserted into or deleted from files.
Conversely, variable-length block deduplication divides data into different size blocks, where block boundaries are established where "magic numbers" or "anchors" are identified in the data. This approach incurs a higher processing load but, because it tolerates data insertions and deletions, results in higher deduplication ratios.
Progressive Deduplication gets its name from a technique ("progressive matching") that permits use of a sliding window without incurring the high cost of calculating a hash at each byte offset. Sliding windows are not new to compression, but progressive matching is. Even with progressive matching, the computational load of the sliding window is greater than fixed-block.
Arkeia reduces this computational load in the case that data has been previously encountered. This known data is deduplicated at fixed-block speeds because blocks are generally non-overlapping and sliding is unnecessary. The window can simply jump forward to the next block.. Conversely, only new data must be surveyed with a "sliding window" to determine if the data matches known blocks.
However there is another aspect of Arkeia's solution that intrigued us though it has received less attention than the intricacies of Arkeia's sliding window implementation. This is Arkeia's work to optimize deduplication for different file types. So to gain some further insight into this capability, DCIG and SMB Research recently spent some time with Arkeia's CEO Bill Evans.
Arkeia recognized that smaller block sizes generally deliver better deduplication rates–though at the cost of more computational load. At the limit, if blocks become too small, the overhead of "pointer metadata" overwhelms the benefit of block deduplication. So, the question becomes "What block size delivers optimal compression?"
To figure this out, Arkeia went through an extensive exercise involving hundreds of file types and millions of customer files to determine the block size for each file type at which files of that type are maximally compressed.
Arkeia delivered a purpose-built application to its customers that deduplicated each customer's files six times using different block sizes (1 KB, 2 KB, 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32KB). The application then aggregated the resulting compression rates by file type and these results were returned to Arkeia. Arkeia then aggregated these results across customers to determine the optimal block size for each specific file type.
Arkeia effectively teaches its compression solution to deduplicate different types of files with blocks of different sizes. Smaller block sizes are more costly so Arkeia does not use them if the benefit does not exceed the computational cost. Knowing this optimal block size for each gives Arkeia another leg up on competitive deduplication offerings.
So what do Arkeia's innovations in deduplication mean for end-users? Here are some items to consider:
1. Better deduplication rates means lower bandwidth requirements and lower telecom costs. Today, offsite backup via WAN makes sense only for smallish data volumes, though that threshold is rising. Better deduplication techniques such as what Arkeia offers will accelerate the upward movement of this threshold. In Arkeia's case it can facilitate the movement of large volumes of data to/from the cloud.
2. Arkeia sells backup solutions of which deduplication is integral but other product categories could potentially benefit from its deduplication technology. Other areas where Arkeia's deduplication technology could potentially be used include WAN replication, NAS and NAS cache. The efficiency and speed at which Arkeia's Progressive Deduplication deduplicates data coupled with the increases in CPU speed and the growing push to store and retrieve data from the cloud could result in Progressive Deduplication being used to deduplicate production data.
3. It creates the opportunity for each organization to achieve an optimal deduplication ratio for its environment. Using Arkeia's progressive deduplication, an organization can potentially deduplicate all of its data at a block size that is optimal for each file. While this will incur extra CPU cycles, as successive generations of CPUs grow more powerful and have cycles to spare, this is within the realm of possibility.
As has been highlighted in this and other forums, not only is there an ongoing explosion of data within the enterprise, there is a growing number file types within organizations. This is creating a new demand for deduplication solutions that simultaneously perform and optimize storage capacity.
Arkeia's Progressive Deduplication represents the next generation of deduplication technologies. By Arkeia taking steps to mitigate the performance overhead associated with variable-length deduplication and using the most appropriate block size when deduplicating each file type, it delivers both the performance and the capacity optimized storage that organizations need today while positioning them for the business challenges that are going to have tomorrow.

Descriptive Overview
Instructional departments offering mathematics classes have had a fairly straightforward descent and relationship at the University of Northern Iowa. With one minor spelling variant and one odd combination with another department, the Mathematics Department has had a fairly stable name for most of UNI's history.
The Mathematics Department was listed in the institution's first catalogue in 1876 and stayed there until 1897 when it was listed as the Mathematical Department. While it is difficult to know exactly why the spelling variation was introduced, it may have had to do with distinguishing pure mathematics from practical aspects of mathematics, such as surveying and calculating. This distinction would surface several times in the history of the Mathematics Department.
The Mathematical Department name survived until the major organization and re-organization of instructional departments in 1909. At that time the name reverted to Mathematics Department. In that same year, the Geometry and Surveying Department was founded. The Geometry and Surveying Department survived for only two years before its courses were folded back into the Mathematics Department. The Mathematics Department kept its name until 1922. At that point, the work of the Commercial Education Department was added to the Mathematics Department. The new combined department became, initially, the Mathematics and Commercial Department, and then in 1927, the Mathematics and Commercial Education Department. This slightly odd combination survived until 1937, when Commercial Education and Mathematics again emerged as separate departments.
The Mathematics Department continued until 1982 when the growing importance of computer studies was recognized in the new name, the Mathematics and Computer Science Department. The Computer Science Department emerged as a separate department in 1991, and the Department of Mathematics reverted to its original name.
The Mathematics Department and the Computer Science Department were members of the College of Natural Sciences until the colleges reorganized in 2011. From 2011 onward, they are in the College of Humanities, Arts & Sciences.

Malta (South Eastern Region) – Valletta – St. Paul's Shipwreck Church
The entrance to this church is quite small, hiding just how large the interior is behind it. Work, which took nearly forty years, started on the building in 1639 and it replaced a previous Jesuit church.
This is the first room that I saw when entering and it seems to be the sacristy or vestry, it's a layout that I haven't seen before though.
The photos rather stop here at the nave as I saw that there was a sign saying no photos, and I thought that I'd better obey the rules. Others were disregarding them, but I don't want to run the risk of being complained at and seeming disrespectful. It's a slight shame though, as there were some beautiful areas of the church that I'm now struggling to picture and remember. The Chapel of Our Lady of Charity was intriguing, it was given to the church when the Guild of Goldsmiths and Silversmiths closed.
There were also some impressive relics, including the right wrist-bone of St. Paul, which is one of the treasures of the church. There's also half of the pillar on which St. Paul was beheaded in Rome, with the other half in the Tre Fontane church in Rome. The half that this church has was sent by Pope Pius VII in 1818 to thank it for the services rendered in the 1813 plague. St. Paul is very important to Malta, as it is said that he brought Christianity to the islands when his boat was shipwrecked off the coast.
There were some steps down to the crypt, rather elegantly carved.
There is a opening from the road down to the crypt, making it seem rather like a pub cellar with a convenient opening for the dray. I'm not sure why the church needs one, unless it was just to bring supplies up without traipising everything through the sacristy/vestry.
The cellar, with the door from the previous photo visible at the rear left.
And the crypt from the other side, with a dedication to Dun Karm Decelis, who lived from 1805 until 1865.

Art is the most valuable culture. I like Van Gogh, It is very strong color. Yellow,Purple,Blue.
Art is the artist's thinking and mind, the artist's imagenation. It is between reality and dream. If you think it is good, you perhaps can feel the artist's feeling. However, if you think it is bad, perhaps you will think it is rubbish .Acturally the products are like Art. In my eyes, Iphone is art of Steven Jobs ! Our products ,such as die casting parts,cnc machining parts,stamping parts,plastic parts. Every parts are like our art. Therefore,we must do our utmost to provide the best perfect art!

Job 2:11-3:10 (ESV)
Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to show him sympathy and comfort him. And when they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him. And they raised their voices and wept, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven. And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. And Job said:
"Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, 'A man is conceived.' Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it. Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. That night—let thick darkness seize it! Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry enter it. Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up Leviathan. Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning, because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes."
The point of this passage is to highlight the magnitude of Job's affliction. He's so beat down that his friends don't even recognize him. And sitting quietly for seven days isn't some kind of male bonding; it's a mourning ritual. Remember, Job lost all his children.
Everything Job had is gone – every possession, every blessing, all his children, and now his health. By every imaginable secular measure, his life has been destroyed. Even his wife seems to have gone around the bend, and she's no longer an encouragement to him.
At least these three friends showed up to do whatever they can to console and comfort him. And, for the moment, they're doing the right thing, just sitting there silently.
Job's lamentation sounds almost sinful, but he does not curse God. He's just announcing that his pain and despair are total.
When things are bad, it's OK to say, "Ouch."
"Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." – Matthew 5:11-12 (ESV)
This is not a command to enjoy persecution. Pain hurts. You can take heart that your heavenly rewards will be great – and that can help you endure suffering – but let's not kid ourselves.
No one is expected to say, "Gee, this is fun." It's OK, even glorifying, to pray for relief.

It's a special occasion and you would definitely want to dress your little baby boy or girl in something exclusive. Make sure that the dress you pick is simple and not very loud. Because this will not only make your baby uncomfortable but he or she will stand out in the crowd in not a nice way. Keep it simple and you will never go wrong.
Carry Baby's Bag
Whatever things you think can be needed by your baby during the party, you must put them all in a bag and carry it along. There could be a spare set of clothes and nappies, bibs, wet wipes etc. to attend to any emergency without letting your child look messy.
Dress Just Before You Leave
To make sure that your baby looks fresh and nice, you must dress him just before you have to leave for the party. This would keep the clothes clean. And you can also make him wear a fresh diaper so that you don't have to deal with hassles of changing his diaper.
Keep a Handkerchief Handy
Always keep the hanky ready. You can either have it pinned on your baby's dress or in quick to access pocket of the bag that you will be carrying.
Find Out What's on Menu
If you are going to a birthday party of someone close, you can always call and find out what is on the menu so that you can accordingly take your baby's meal along.

React When Your Baby Does Something Wrong
Don't simply keep observing if you see your child hitting some other kid or snatching his toy from him. As a good mother, you must always react to such things and immediately make your baby understand the wrong thing he did.
Here are some more etiquettes which moms can teach their little babies as a part of their grooming:
Greet as you meet
Always teach your kid to greet people around him. It can be a Hello, Good Afternoon, Good Evening or Namaste to uncles and aunts. A Hello and handshake to children of his age is equally important. In Indian culture, we give extreme importance of greeting everyone around us and you must teach and encourage your little one to do the same.
Wish the Birthday Baby
Going to a birthday and not wishing the birthday boy or girl doesn't seem right. So, before going to the party, tell your child that he must wish the birthday kid because that kid is the host and it is very important to wish him.
Don't Take Shoes on Sofas, Couches
Kids have the habit of sitting on sofas and couches without removing their shoes which is not considered nice by Indians. Therefore, ask them to put off their shoes if they wish to keep their feet on the seating.
These are some of the Indian etiquettes which must be followed while attending a birthday party.
Etiquettes on Throwing a Birthday Party
Well, by far you were reading about etiquettes you have to follow as guest but we bring to you some customs you must follow as a host.
- Formally invite each and every guest and don't miss out on anyone. Phone calls, digital invitations would depend upon your choice
- Make all arrangements perfectly before the party starts
- Keep the comfort of the guest in mind
- Create a balanced menu

The time of year when bright and striking fall colors illuminate the sides of the roads, late night football games are back in session, and the farmers are preparing to combine their crops. Yes, the farmers are pulling out on the roads once again with their big and bulky combines, tractors, grain trucks, and wagons in order to bring in their long-awaited earnings for the year. It is a season that they particularly look forward to, while fellow citizens may despise it. These conflicting attitudes are illustrated in a variety of country music songs. For example, Craig Morgan's song "International Harvester" and Luke Bryan's song "Harvest Time" both deal with the season of fall and harvest; however, they contrast the views of farming by diverse groups of people within society. Though both songs emphasize the stress of fall and farming, Craig Morgan's song expresses the stress that non-farming individuals impose on the farmer, whereas Luke Bryan's song describes the feelings brought on by the season from a farmer's perspective. In "International Harvester," Morgan blames his stress more upon other drivers than his own task at hand, farming. Morgan claims, "Well you may be on a state paved road / But that blacktop runs through my payload / Excuse me for tryin' to do my job." In this quote, the farmer is simply trying to get to his or her field by using a roadway occupied by other drivers. The road runs right past his or her field and is owned by the state, yet other individuals do not see the need for farmers to be on the roadways. Consequently, the large equipment has just as much right to be Lastname 2 on the road as any other motorized vehicle. The farmer is merely trying to get to his or her job, the field, just like the other drivers trying to reach their desks and deadlines. These other drivers more or less see the farmer as a minority. However, in "Harvest Time," Bryan describes the fall as a season for which farmers think more towards their personal dilemmas rather than others: "It's harvest time in this little town / Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down / Fill our diesel tank up, make another round." In this quote, the farmer is simply focusing on bringing in his or her crop for the year and hoping that it is successful enough to pay off any loans without further questions. Farming involves spending numerous amounts of money throughout the year for supplies and now it is finally time to bring in the harvest and pay off any remaining expenses. With this being said, the task must be completed, whether others appreciate it or not. Equally important, in "International Harvester," Morgan focuses on the disrespect farmers receive from fellow drivers, yet in "Harvest Time," Bryan recognizes the continued respect that farmers receive from their families. In Morgan's song, he portrays a scene that many farmers have experienced during their career. He illustrates, "Lined up behind me like a big parade / Of late to work road raged jerks / Shoutin' obscene words flippin' me the bird." In this quote it is easy to see that when driving, individuals see farmers as nothing but discourteous because they tend to take up such a mass amount of space on the road. These particular individuals often do not think before they act; therefore, they take it out on the farmer who is clearly just trying to collect his or her profit for the year. On the other hand, Bryan's song focuses on the individuals who truly understand a farmer's career—family and friends. He states, "Bobby's mother pulls in the field bringin' us supper / We grab a bite and make sure to hug her / Saddle back up and let the big wheels roll." In this quote, Bryan acknowledges the fact of families coming together for a meal in the field. Since it is such a short season, a farmer is Lastname 3 constantly on the go. However, the families and friends are willing to become available whenever help is desired. The farmers truly appreciate their assistance, as is seen in the hug. The two songs show the diverse attitudes of people farmer's come in contact with throughout the season of fall. At the same time, in Craig Morgan's song, the exaggerated expressions from angry citizens are described, while Luke Bryan's song provides panoramic details from a farmer's viewpoint that stimulates the excitement of being back in the fields. In "International Harvester," Morgan stresses the terminology that is used by a number of irritated individuals when describing the career of a farmer and their equipment. He uses the terms "Hoggin' up the road" and "Chug a lug a lugin' five miles an hour" numerous times in order to express that individuals observe nothing but a monstrous machine taking its sweet time on their pathway. The equipment is by no means small or fast. As a result, farmers usually use the roadways only to transport equipment to and from fields, grain bin sites, and housing, taking the back roads to avoid heavy traffic and discourteous drivers. Truthfully, they would rather be on the field enjoying themselves rather than on the active roadway. In contrast, Bryan's song "Harvest Time" paints the ideal picture for the harvest season from a farmer's point of view. He states that "There's tractor-trailers backed up down by the elevator" and adds that "There's a big red moon comin' up in the sky / Combine's cuttin' in a staggered line." These particular quotes bring anticipation to many farmers. The breathtaking views at dusk, such as the bright moon, make farmers appreciate their careers that much more and the line of trucks at the elevator builds a sensation of anxiety to a farmer. The season is here, people are in the fields, it is truly time to start harvesting and take in the income. Lastname 4 On the whole, Craig Morgan's song "International Harvester" and Luke Bryan's song "Harvest Time" deal with two very distinct ways to view the career of farming: through the farmers eyes and then the view of the rest of the world. The occupation of farming is not given as much credit as it should be given. The differences in the two songs show that there is a lot more to farming then big equipment and taking up space on the road. It is the idea that this is an individual's career, the idea that this is their profit for the year, and that this profit is used to help support their families. So what is harvest? For many, it is the time of leaves changing and raking them up as they parachute to the ground. Yet for farmers, it is the time of ears of corn falling and combining crops before the snow begins to fly.

The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth. – Proverbs 17:24
On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter in response to an abolitionist editorial by Horace Greeley in the New York Tribune. In the editorial, Greeley called the president out for his gentle treatment of slaveholders and lack of will to uphold the Confiscation Acts. President Lincoln had already been considering the idea of emancipating the slaves in the U.S. for some time prior to this, which he carefully hinted at in his response to Greeley. The president was preparing the public for the upcoming change in his policy, which came one month later with the Emancipation Proclamation. As you consider the importance of justice and equality under the law which President Lincoln's proclamation intended to implement, pray for those in positions of authority to uphold the law impartially.
As the Lord leads, pray with us…
- For governing officials to turn toward the Lord and away from sinful ways.
- That those serving in the federal government would seek the Lord's guidance as they fill their offices.

That right there has all the styling it needs, but like all Grindhouse can it pull off what it promises in the trailer? Hopefully unlike the 99% of all these movies, this one delivers the trailer and more. SFW and NSFW trailer after the jump.

Back-To-School with our Favorite Kids Brands
About MCubed Backpacks
MCubed Backpacks was founded by Mary, a school teacher of 10+ years in Southern California. Our story began when her oldest son started preschool. After searching for days looking for the perfect first backpack, Mary became frustrated with the options available on Amazon and other websites. Most looked too childish, too cheesy, or too cheap. The branded ones that were attractive were way above the price point she was willing to spend on a child's backpack. She just wanted something that looked stylish (to match his cute outfits), good quality (decent stitching and made of safe materials), be comfortable (more than just a thin strap to cushion his small body), and be the perfect size (big enough to fit standard-sized papers and folders yet not too big that it would feel overwhelming). I mean, was that too much to ask? Well, maybe not, but Mary wanted more options for parents that felt the same way. So, as teacher gone mompreneur, she decided to create her own. And the rest is history.
About Bunnies By The Bay
We grew up on Fidalgo Island on the West Coast of North America, surrounded by the tulip fields of Washington State and the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Like many fishing families we knew the wonders, the joys, and, yes, the power of the sea. In 1983 we lost fourteen men and their two crab boats in the Bering Sea. The men included our Father, Uncle and Cousin, lost in this fishing tragedy that devastated our entire community. In the months that followed, our Gram, a seamstress, comforted us with stories about bunnies who lived in her garden. Sitting in her sewing circle, these tales helped to mend our broken hearts and soothed us to sleep at night. Soon we started making up our own adventures and sewing cloth characters to make our stories come alive. Fidalgo became "Cricket Island" and our imaginary friends were modeled on the brave people around us. Almost four decades later we are still making our bunnies, and we remain on "Cricket Island" where our stories began. Our haven is a world of fishing, whale watching, and tulip growing, beautiful in so many ways.
Cricket Island Characters come to life in the eyes of everyone who meets them. The Bunnies By The Bay includes collections fit for babies and kids. Shop gender neutral baby gifts, personalized keepsakes, and even dolls that will grow with your favorite family.

About U-Konserve
Long before zero-waste living was making headlines, U-Konserve was creating products to help people live a zero-waste lifestyle. The company was founded by two friends who believed that small changes can have a huge impact on the global movement to protect our planet. After the birth of her daughter, Chance Claxton became increasingly concerned about the environment and wanted to make it easy for parents to reduce the plastic baggies, juice boxes and packaged foods piling up in landfills. In 2008 the founders created the first zero-waste lunch kit for elementary schools, and the new venture was born. The innovative lunch kits spurred an entirely new lifestyle for thousands of families looking to tread lightly on the planet. The reusable concept caught on, and more products were developed. What started as a resource for school children quickly became a full line of zero-waste food-storage essentials for the whole family at home and on the go. After more than a decade of growth and transition, the same goals that helped launch their message of reuse still guide the company today. As a Certified B Corporation and member of 1% for the Planet, the company is using business for good by creating a positive impact for employees, communities and the environment. The initial mission to protect the planet has grown into a lifestyle of reusing more, wasting less, and raising awareness about the exciting and growing movement to reduce single-use plastic.

About DINO BARS
DINO BARS is a brand of the Functional Food Company, a small family-owned business owned and managed by Jessica and Ian Saultz. They believe in the positive effects of eating healthy, and want to provide like-minded parents with a healthy snack for their kids. Born and raised in Germany, Jessica grew up with a backyard full of fresh fruit and vegetables. She married Ian, an American, and their journey together began; fueling each other's desire to live healthy lives through fitness and nutrition. The story of DINO BARS begins with the birth of their first child, Liam. Shortly after introducing solid food to Liam, they realized that he couldn't tolerate refined sugars. They had always emphasized the importance of homemade food and snacks, but they needed an option for the busy times in life. Luckily, in Germany, there was a large variety of sugar-free, store-bought snacks for their son. Fast forward a couple of years, after the birth of their second child, June, the family of four moved from Germany back to the US. Ian started a new job in sales while Jessica stayed home with the kids. Disappointed with the kids snack selection here, Jessica started making snacks for their kids. The snack bars were an instant favorite among kids and parents alike. Jessica and Ian decided to put everything they had into making these amazing and nutritious snacks available to parents across the country. DINO BARS are produced in Charleston, South Carolina and are shipped anywhere within the US.
Starting our kids off with a healthy snack is the single most important part of stepping into a healthy lifestyle.

2022 Peugeot 208 update brings more tech and value
French supermini gets more equipment as standard for 2022 with no price hike
- New Active/Allure Premium+ trims
- More equipment as standard
- Available to order now from £19,100
After the brand scored a strong fourth-place finish in our Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, Peugeot seeks to further boost its most-popular model's appeal with a trim and equipment update for 2022. The Peugeot 208 now gets enhanced styling and more tech as standard on its best-selling trim levels, which have been renamed 'Active Premium+' and 'Allure Premium+'.
Top 10 best small company cars 2024
Despite the increased level of equipment, the Peugeot 208 will not see a price increase; base-level models still start from £19,100. Buyers can place their orders for the updated car now, with it offering even more value-for-money against rivals such as the Volkswagen Polo and Renault Clio.
The Active Premium+ model will act as the entry point into the Peugeot 208 range and replaces the outgoing Active Premium trim. In addition to the already-high level of standard equipment offered by the old car, the new '+' model benefits from dual-zone climate control, automatic wipers and tinted windows as standard. Other standard kit includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a seven-inch touchscreen, 3.5-inch semi-digital dials and rear parking sensors.
Moving up the range, the refreshed Allure Premium+ starts from £21,590. As part of the 2022 update, this model now comes equipped with Peugeot's trademark i-Cockpit fully-digital instrument cluster; drivers can configure this to display sat-nav directions, as well as other useful information such as fuel economy figures and the current media playback.
The other new addition to the Allure Premium+ comes in the form of the 'Aluminium Pack' which, as the name suggests, adds several aluminium styling flourishes on the pedals and door sills. As before, diamond-cut alloys, built-in sat-nav, a reversing camera and 'claw-design' LED tail lights also come as standard.
Finally, the Peugeot 208 is still available in sporty GT and GT Premium guises; however, unlike the former two models, these cars do not receive any extra gizmos as part of the update. That's not to say standard equipment isn't strong, though, as both cars get larger 17-inch alloy wheels, bi-colour paint, full-LED headlights, ambient lighting and blind-spot monitoring. The GT Premium also boasts luxurious leather/Alcantara suede upholstery, adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist for automatic models.
