Back in the 2000s. At that time, Celine Tran (better known as Katsumi, which became Katsuni in 2007) was a leading figure in the erotic and pornographic industry. With her rich filmography of sulphurous fictions, she is produced by Marc Dorcel and tours with several directors in the world of hard.
In a decade, the famous actress who attended Sciences-Po benches marked several generations of fans and won several prizes in many festivals. But, in 2013, Céline Tran announced her retirement from acting in the porn world, preferring to turn to comedy and writing. "I have always enjoyed reading and writing even if I took a break during my porn career," she confided in an interview with the Eklecty-City.fr site in 2016.
"The taste for comedy came little by little with my debut in porn by discovering the pleasure of being in front of a camera, of improvising, of letting go", assured the author of Do not say that you like that to our colleagues. At least for Céline Tran, her desire to be considered a "dressed up" actress was born the day she starred in season 4 of the Visiteur du Futur web-series, by François Descraques in 2014.
In parallel to her activities, Céline Tran teaches yoga and also gives her intimate advice as a well-being and sexual coach to her patients. "I now answer remotely or in the office, in Paris. There are other questions that concern sexual practice itself, on a "technical" level, but the relational dimension and the relationship to the body are essential, " declared the 40-year-old to the Journal des femmes For the most nostalgic among you, Planet looks back on 3 films that marked the career of the former charming actress.
In the early 2000s, the Franco-Vietnamese actress was the heroine of The Katsuni Affair, produced by Marc Dorcel and directed by Alain Payet. A 1h40 fiction which follows the adventures of "this Japanese emulator of Mata-Hari", can we read in the summary, shared by Télé-Loisirs. With her many erotic talents, "she tries to introduce her friend Sandra to her perverse practices". A role that earned Katsuni the Ninfa Award for Best Starlet at the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival.
We find Katsuni in the middle of the decade in French Connexion directed by Hervé Bodilis. In this erotic fiction, also produced by Marc Dorcel, the actress plays an undercover agent in a dangerous gang led by a ruthless and sex-addicted drug lord. Winner of the prize for best actress at the Barcelona Festival in 2007, Katsuni distinguished herself with charm on the screen with other French stars in the industry such as Ian Scott, Yasmine, Tony Carrera and Lydia Saint Martin.
Among the last films of his career, Katsuni invites his fans under the covers by making his own fiction for television. "I have just made my first scripted film In bed with Katsuni for Dorcel, which is due out in June and broadcast on Canal," she told 20 Minutes at the time. "It's a real step in my career," said the one who had developed her own production company to shoot her own naughty films. A major turning point in Céline Tran's career before her retirement.

And that's about all they've revealed about it so far. G-reat. They've also G-amely invited us, and any one of you g-oons out there who g-ives a poop about Atlus' next g-ame, to try to g-uess, as they drop more clues on via various forms of social media. Intriquin-g. Wait, I think I made a mistake there.
This makes for some interesting speculation. Recent releases like The Cursed Crusade, Demon's Souls, Rock of Ages have certainly diversified Atlus USA's lineup beyond the "Quirky Japanese Anime Game" niche. They already announced that Game of Thrones action RPG last month, and XSEED has a lock on Marvelous games, which include Vanillaware's Grand Knights History. Atlus USA usually lags behind Atlus Japan in announcing core franchise games, so it might not be a MegaTen title. And Persona 4: The Golden doesn't start with a "G."
What could it be?! Speculate away!

What to do when your child is anxious about going to school
At the beginning of each new school year or school term, our Psychology Team are flooded with questions from parents who are struggling to help their child transition back to school. This month we have noticed more requests for advice about school refusal concerns such as tummy pain, headaches, meltdowns, sleep disruption and lots of big overwhelming emotions.
In this Advice Blog our team has compiled our most used tips and app tools to help you help your child settle back into school.
So it's Sunday night. You're winding down and preparing for the next day when you start to hear rumblings from your child about a sore tummy. Or as you rush to get out the door on a rainy Monday morning, you're met with tears and the overwhelm of a kid who simply doesn't want to go to school.
What can you do? How can you listen to their concern, but know when to be firm on getting in to the classroom? We know that this can be an overwhelming experience, especially when you are feeling tired or fed up at the start of a new week.
As psychologists, when we see this type of school refusal our first step is to wonder about what your child might be avoiding or gaining by not going to school. Sometimes this might relate to a worry about homework that hasn't been finished. Or an upcoming test or school outing. If your child is struggling with friendships or experiencing bullying, it is understandable that they will resist going in to this stressful environment. In exploring what's happening for your child, we can support you as a parent to take the steps you need to help them feel safe again.
However, sometimes there isn't a clear or tangible reason that your child might not want to go to school. This can make it even more difficult to know how to support them. In these situations, we need to build our understanding of your child's anxiety and what tools or techniques work to help them cope. The following are some of our most used tips and Parent App tools to help you and your child through this transition:
1. Explore what's going on
The first step to take involves reflecting on whether or not there is something specific underlying your child's school refusal. Some of the most common reasons we see in clinic include:
- Separation anxiety
- Worry about academic demands
- Worry about friendship difficulties or bullying
- Coping with perfectionism
- Worry about feeling sick or going to the toilet in school
It's important to remember that sometimes the underlying cause of anxiety can be more hidden, or a combination of things that might not be easy to identify or respond to. If there doesn't seem to be a tangible reason why your child is avoiding school, don't worry. Simply draw your focus and energy to helping them understand and cope with their anxiety itself.
2. Somatic Symptoms – 1) Check with your doctor, and 2) let your child know their pain is real
When we talk about somatic symptoms, what we are referring to is the physical manifestation of anxiety. So if your child is worried about going to school they might express this through physical symptoms such as:
- an upset tummy
- nausea
- headaches
- tight shoulders & muscle pains
- fatigue
- shortness of breath.
The first step is to respond to the symptom medically. If your child is experiencing symptoms like repeated tummy pain, constipation or headaches it's important to check with your doctor to rule out any any medical reason. This approach can help your child feel listened to and further support their buy in to the explanation that anxiety can cause these symptoms.
Our second piece of advice when supporting your child with somatic symptoms is to let your child know that you believe that their pain is real. Parents often ask us what they should do when their child's tummy pain only shows up when they have to go to school. A common question is: 'what do I say when I don't want to ignore that they feel sick, but I don't believe that they are actually sick enough to stay home?'.
In this situation it can help to build your own understanding of somatic symptoms. Whether this tummy upset is from a medical origin or a manifestation of anxiety – your child's pain is real. Something in their life is causing them enough stress that they wish to avoid it. Sometimes children may use a sore tummy as an excuse to not go to school because this was the outcome in the past. So they may not be truthful about how they are physically feeling – but their anxiety is still real. And most somatic symptoms feel just as painful in our bodies as stress has a very real, physical impact. So it is important to empathise first before stepping into any problem-solving mode.
If your child is a 'bodytalker' (someone who often expresses their anxiety or emotions through physical symptoms) they will need to feel believed in order to buy in to any support plan. This validation can be as simple as saying 'I know that your tummy is hurting, that must feel horrible. I'm going to try my best to help'. Building their understanding of anxiety and their body (see next section) will help you prepare them for school, and allow you to develop some simple scripts for when they are 'bodytalking' and school refusing.
For example: 'Oh you're feeling sick today? I'm so sorry to hear that, that mustn't feel good. Let take a moment to think about what you need. So it seems that your worried brain is making your tummy sick again. I wonder is there anything we can do to help your worried brain? I can do these 3 things – take some calming time in the car together before we go in to school, let your teacher know to check with you in 30 minutes to see if your tummy has relaxed, and let plan some relaxation time together for after school today. Will we write this down?'
3. Explain how anxiety works
It is easier to create effective scripts and use coping tools when your children understand how anxiety works. Again, you can adapt your explanation to what resonates for your child. Is there a character on a show or in a book who you can use as an example? In our psychology sessions we keep it simple and often draw out mindmaps or examples as a way of visually learning together about anxiety and how it affects our thinking and our bodies.
The following are some therapeutic stories on our InsightKids App that can help you explain to your child how anxiety works:
- Amelia worries about going to school
- I don't want to go to school, I want to stay with mum!
- I just don't want to go to school!
- Aisling and her worried body
- Harry learns how to relax his body for sleep
- Lexi uses her senses to stay calm
- Tobias beats school worries with breathing

4. Build a coping toolkit for you both
Help your child to find what tools can help them feel brave and safe. These might include:
- Deep breathing exercises
- Progressive Muscle Relaxation
- Using a Worry Jar
- Using a Brave Diary (very helpful for building confidence)
- Sensory Relaxation Tools
Click here to use our Worry Jar, Brave Diary and relaxation tools on our InsightKids App.
If your child is struggling to sleep it can help to create a soothing nighttime ritual and use some sensory calming techniques. If they are feeling worried about going to school the next day take a set amount of time (up to 10 mins) to talk, write or draw these worries out together and park these worries after the time is up. This might involve using a Worry Jar or placing what you've written in a different room. This approach can help a worried brain feel seen and contained – helping it feel safer to winddown for sleep.
It can be really difficult as a parent to feel that you are pushing your child into a situation that is causing them stress or distress. However it is important to remember that you've taken the steps to rule out a medical condition. And in encouraging them to face their fears (with support), you're building their resilience and shrinking their fears. Anxiety and school refusal is one of the most common queries that our psychologists provide advice about, so if you are struggling to know what to do you are not alone – seek whatever outside support you need, this difficulty will pass.
The following are some podcasts and meditations on our Parent App to help you through this:

Digital technology has the potential to expand educational opportunities. eBooks, which can be downloaded online from anywhere in the world, are becoming increasingly popular among students. Digital material is less expensive to produce than printed information, which has greater manufacturing expenses. Furthermore, digital books come in a variety of languages and may be quickly translated and accessed by a larger audience. Learners can also hear the instructional content in an audio version to increase their vocabulary and develop better interpretive reading, especially for those with physical limitations.
Education technology (EdTech) solutions are predicted to expand in tandem with breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR), and will play a vital role in industry growth. The use of AR and VR in EdTech solutions allows students to have a more participatory approach. It helps students to discover and relate with complex topics in a natural way, resulting in increased student engagement.
Increasing student involvement is becoming a top priority for educators. As a result, industry participants are responding to these issues by creating sophisticated smart boards and moving away from projector-based displays toward touchscreen displays. These efforts encourage active learning and the development of key preparedness skills in students.
Political factors affecting Edtech Industry
Not only do political concerns influence transnational firms' investment decisions. The political climate, as well as other elements, impact the cost of doing business and long-term profitability. Some political variables include the governmental system, democracies and structures, military takeover chances, the possibility of military confrontation, market law and order, and so on.
Economic factors
The economic qualities of a country or area have a significant impact on a market's potential attractiveness. The inflation rate, GDP growth rate, disposable income level, and other economic elements that the EdTech Industry should consider both in the current market and in the market that it intends to join are some of the economic factors that it should consider.
Social factors
Demographic changes, societal power structures, women's involvement in the workforce, and other social issues have a significant influence on not just the country's economy, but also working population talent availability and consumer demand.
Technological factors
Technology is quickly altering business models throughout a broad array of industries. Artificial intelligence advances, the use of machine learning and big data analytics to forecast customer behavior, the rising significance of platforms over service providers, and so on are some of the technological trends that are impacting the macro environment.
Environmental Factors
Environmental issues are quickly gaining popularity among consumers, regulators, and policymakers alike. By the beginning of the century, changes in climate and shifting ecosystems will have wiped off more than 20% of the world's species.
Legal factors
Legal problems control conditions for entrance to the market, laws for operating in the market, and methods for resolving any disagreements with other players. If the legal system is weak, the EdTech industry will confront several obstacles, ranging from consumer lawsuits to government shakedowns.
In the years 2020 and 2021, there was a fundamental change toward online EdTech. This tendency is only going to get stronger. More students will recognize that conventional offline players lack the capacity to give the assistance that is required in today's dense environment.

Crypt of the Cathedral, Otranto LE
The crypt, which winds its way around the area below the apse, the presbytery and part of the hall, dates back to the 11th century and is a miniature version of the famous Cistern of Theodosius or the Mosque of Cordoba. It is located in the cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata, the most important Catholic place of worship in the city of Otranto, mother church of the archdiocese of the same name. In July 1945, Pope Pius XII raised the cathedral to the dignity of a minor basilica.
As part of the conservative restoration project that involved the crypt, DZ Engineering was involved in creating the lighting system for this place of worship through a system of micro LEDs, directable and made to measure, installed at the base of the crypt capitals.
The light produced is mainly indirect, with underlining and accentuations on the elements of artistic and liturgical value. Also installed was the patented DigiLux VM 3000 system, indispensable for adapting the lighting to the various moments of the day, from liturgical celebrations to prayer vigils to tourist visits.

Matt DiBenedetto Reverses Course and Admits His Future in NASCAR Might Not Be in Cup Series
Matt DiBenedetto is racing into the unknown. Last month the 30-year-old driver confirmed he would not be returning to Wood Brothers and the No. 21 car in 2022. At the time, Matty D indicated he was not interested in racing in anything other than the NASCAR Cup Series. Something has changed.
Matt DiBenedetto out at Wood Brothers in 2022
Matt DiBenedetto has competed full-time on the NASCAR Cup Series since 2015. It wasn't until the 2020 season, his first with the Wood Brothers, that DiBenedetto found himself in equipment truly capable of winning.
All of last season and 23 races into the 2021 schedule, and DiBenedetto has 16 top-10 finishes to his credit. Those are decent numbers. However, the most important number is zero. That's his number of wins.
Last month when he learned that Harrison Burton would be replacing him in the No. 21 car in 2022, the affable DiBenedetto didn't sugarcoat his feelings
"I'm going to be super honest. I'm not going to try and hide how I feel and what I feel," DiBenedetto said in a video on Facebook. "You guys know what you see is what you get. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Found out yesterday. When I found out, I tried to be like OK, been through this before. How do I handle this? I know God has a plan for me. There's a greater plan. …
"But you know what? I didn't really sleep last night, and I thought about it, and it's OK to have human emotion, and I'm not going to lie to you; it's OK to be pissed off, angry and bitter, and all of the above. It just is what it is. We're humans. We're not perfect."
Matt DiBenedetto open to racing Xfinity Series
With his run at Wood Brothers over and limited options in the Cup Series, DiBenedetto still indicated he had no interest in driving in a lower level of NASCAR like the Trucks or Xfinity Series.
According to Davey Segal of SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, DiBenedetto has reversed course on that original position.
"@mattdracing says he 'will entertain anything' for next year, including the Xfinity Series," Segal tweeted. "Reiterated his focus is all on finishing the last 14 races out for @woodbrothers21 on a great note. He had previously mentioned he would only want to stay in Cup, but clarified."
Steve Letarte and Chad Knaus suggested dropping to lower NASCAR series
If DiBenedetto doesn't receive any appealing Cup options and decides to race in the Xfinity Series next season, it will be exactly what Steve Letarte and Chad Knaus recommended last month during an episode of NASCAR's Backseat Drivers.
"I love Matty D. He's a nice guy, but the problem that Matt has is this is professional sports. This isn't intramural football," Letarte said. "And I'll be the cold guy that says it that winners get hired. And he's had a chance to win a couple of races and he's yet to come through… It's tough. He doesn't have a lot of sponsors behind him. I can't think of a brand that's just backing Matty D. I'm sure some seats will open up in the garage area, but I don't see it being a seat near as good as the 21 car."
Letarte suggested DiBenedetto take an approach similar to Justin Allgaier or John Hunter Nemechek, who both drove in the Cup Series before dropping down and competing with a lower series. Knaus, who won seven Cup titles as Jimmie Johnson's crew chief, hadn't considered Letarte's idea of dropping down but agreed it's a reasonable option.
"Kurt Busch did the exact same thing," Knaus pointed out. "Sometimes, you just have to take a step back to take a step forward. But that No. 21 car for him was a really good opportunity. Unfortunately for Matt, he just didn't perform at the level that he needed to."
Maybe a move down to the Xfinity Series is just what DiBenedetto needs to add some wins to his resume and potentially sign on some new sponsors. Wherever he races, his loyal set of fans will certainly follow him.

Hoyt Buck's first knife, made from a worn-out file blade in 1902 was a fixed blade. The U.S. Government requested blade donations for the military after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is then, in the basement of a church in 1942, that Hoyt Buck began making knives by hand. It was a design that was dialed in after 40 years of making knives to customer specifications.
Overall Length: 10 1/2″ (26.7 cm) Phenolic Weight: 7.5 oz (213.5 g) Cocobolo Weight: 10.5 oz (298.9 g) Made in the USA.
- BLADE SHAPE: Clip
- BLADE LENGTH: 6″ (15.2 cm)
- HANDLE: DymaLux® or Phenolic
- CARRY SYSTEM: Sheath
- ORIGIN: Made in the USA
420HC STEEL: This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add our exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance we harden to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.
CLIP: The crescent tip makes the blade thinner with a sharper point. This shape provides good control for detail work and cutting in tight places. It is also well suited for intentional punctures like new holes in your belt, etc. While the point of the blade is effective for detail work, it's not as strong as the thicker points on drop points and skinners.

The best time to dethatch your lawn is when it's actively growing and the soil is moderately moist. For cool-season grasses, that's early spring or early fall. For warm-season grasses, dethatch in late spring through early summer (after the second mowing). That's when your grass is growing most vigorously.
Does Toro make a dethatcher? Turn your Toro Grandstand Multi-Force into the ultimate spring clean-up tool with Multi-Force front-mount Tine Rake Dethatcher. Use the rake for the first mowing of the spring to remove thatch, embedded leaves and debris. The patented tines lift thatch without damaging healthy turfgrass.
What size blade does a Toro Recycler 22? MaxPower's 331376XB commercial mulching blade fits many 22-in cut Toro Recycler mowers. This blade replaces 108-9764-03 and 131-4547-03 and measures 21-11/16-in in length x 2-1/4-in in width with a 7/16-in center hole.
Does a dethatching blade work? Specialized dethatching blades made for lawn mowers can be moderately effective at removing thatch if used properly. To efficiently remove thatch with a mower, choose the correct mower blade type. Blades with metal spring attachments can be used to remove light thatch from small yards.
Does a dethatching blade cut grass? In addition to dethatching, the blade also cuts and mulches grass clippings, cutting down time spent on yard maintenance. Although the blade's six nylon lines aren't as effective as blades with metal tines at removing dense thatch, they are gentler on the yard, exacting less collateral damage on healthy grass.
Why is dethatching not recommended? Spring dethatching hits a lawn hard when it is already in a precarious condition. Secondly, dethatching in the spring with power equipment can bring up crabgrass and other noxious weed seeds, setting your lawn up for a future infestation.
What is the difference between dethatching and thatching? Thick thatch and dethatching Like a good dandruff treatment rakes up dead skin from your scalp, lawn dethatching rakes up excessive debris and organic matter sitting on your soil's surface. The problem: Thick thatch acts as a barrier against sunlight, water, oxygen, and nutrients.
Can you sharpen a Toro Recycler blade?
What blade does the Toro Recycler use? A: This is a 22″ mulching blade for TORO Recycler mowers.
What does a 3 in 1 lawn mower blade mean? The term "3-N-1" refers to the ability of the mower to cut and process grass in three different ways: Freely discharge grass through the opening in the deck. Mulch the grass by closing off the discharge opening. Bag the grass for disposal.
Is it better to dethatch your lawn wet or dry? Dethatch when soil is moist, not dry. If soil is too wet, a dethatch may yank turf out by the roots, creating large bare spots. It's best to dethatch during cooler weather. Mow the lawn to half its normal height right before dethatching.
Can I just mow after dethatching? After dethatching, rake up the newly exposed thatch. Mowing your lawn will also help to clean things up. Fertilizing at this time is also important. This will help your lawn recover and get much needed nutrients.
Is it better to mow before dethatching? Mow your lawn to half its normal height before you begin dethatching. (FYI: Don't fertilize before dethatching.) Use a dethatching rake like you would a regular rake. Dig the tines into the thatch and pull it upward, helping to loosen and remove the buildup.
What month should you dethatch your lawn? For both cool and warm-season grasses, the best time to dethatch is mid-to-late spring or early fall. During this time when the turf is actively growing, the grass will quickly recover from injury.
How do I know if my grass needs dethatching? Measure The Thatch. Use a trowel or spade to remove a wedge-shaped layer of grass and soil about 3 inches thick, or just pry up a small section of turf. Look for the thatch layer lying directly on top of soil. Measure the thickness. A layer thicker than ½ inch signals it's time for dethatching.
What happens if you don't dethatch your lawn? Thatch can harm lawns. It's difficult for water to penetrate a thick thatch layer, causing water to run off instead of soaking in. It can harbor insects and lawn diseases, and grass may begin growing in the thatch layer instead of the soil, producing shallow root systems and exposing it to greater temperature extremes.
How do you get rid of thatch naturally?
- Use a thatch rake for thick layers of thatch. Using this tool in a push-pull motion will rip out thatch and dig into the soil. …
- Use leaf rakes and a tarp to gather and remove the dead thatch and other material from your lawn. …
- Water the lawn as needed to keep it moist and promote growth.
Should you water after dethatching?
The dethatched lawn should be watered immediately following dethatching to help remove debris from grass blades and leaves thatch in clumps that can still damage your turf if left behind.
How often should you dethatch a lawn? Almost every lawn needs dethatching about once a year, or whenever the thatch reaches a thickness of about 1/2 inch. To check, just work your fingers into the grass and note the depth of the thatch layer. Dethatch cool-season grasses in fall, warm-season types in early spring.
Do I need to aerate my lawn after dethatching? Although a thin layer of thatch is beneficial, thatch accumulation should not exceed 1/2 inch. Excess thatch blocks out air, light and water from reaching root zones. Dethatching and aeration services go hand in hand. Dethatch first, then aerate.
What time of year is best to dethatch a lawn? – Related Questions
Is an aerator the same as a dethatcher?
They both serve to help key nutrients like fertilizer, water or oxygen reach your lawn's root zone so that your grass can continue to grow and thrive. However, aeration results in the breakdown of compacted soil whereas dethatching removes layers of thatch, or dead grass and other debris, from the top of the soil.
Can I rake instead of dethatch?
A regular leaf rake will not adequately remove thatch from a lawn. A small amount of thatch may be removed but trying to dethatch with a leaf rake may cause damage to your lawn. Use a verticutter or dethatcher attachment for your lawnmower.
Is it better to sharpen or replace mower blade?
Lawn mower blades are built for durability and can usually be salvaged with regular sharpening. However, if you notice large dents and chips on the edge that aren't smoothed out with a blade sharpener, it's time to invest in new blades. Yard debris can also wear down a blade over years, resulting in thin weak metal.
Will sandpaper sharpen a lawn mower blade?
Why are new mower blades not sharp?
The main reason that some people believe that new blades should be sharpened before use is due to the powder-coated paint finish that is applied to most replacement blades by the manufacturer. This finish is particularly thick around the blade's cutting edge and to the touch, it can make it feel like it's dull.
How do I know what blade to get for my mower?
The easiest way to find replacement lawn mower blades is with the OEM number. The OEM number is the numerical part number of the blade assigned by the manufacturer. In most cases, just typing this number with the manufacturer name into a search engine or online store will be enough to bring up some promising results.
Do new Toro blades need to be sharpened?
If your lawn mower is brand new, then there won't be any need to sharpen the blade. During the manufacturing process, mower blades are always sharpened, and new mowers come with sharp blades from the factory.
What is the difference between a mowing blade and a mulching blade?
Standard blades are also referred to as "2-in-1" (discharging & bagging) or "high-lift" blades (because they are designed to create a higher-lifting airflow). Mulching blades generally have a more curved style surface and frequently include extra cutting surfaces along the blade edges.
Should mower blades be tight or loose?
Generally speaking, the blade should be tight enough so that it doesn't move around on its own, but you should be able to move with your hand by applying some pressure. The manufacturer should provide a proper tightening level expressed in foot-pounds, commonly found in the mower's manual.
Are Gator blades better than regular blades?
Unlike other mulching blades that push the grass down, the high lift on a gator blade draws the grass up which in turn gives you a clean, even cut. This high lift also makes using Gator Blades in bagging operations a great choice.
Should mower blades be sharp to the touch?
Mower blades should be aggressively sharp, but not as sharp as a razor's edge. You should be able to touch the blade with your hand without getting cut. Contrary to popular belief, a lawn mower blade with a razor sharp edge will not cut grass better.
Which is better aerator or dethatcher?
A dethatcher works well when you have a lot of dead grass on top of the soil, making the lawn feel spongy. An aerator is best used when the core has a thick layer of thatch, usually more than 0.5 inches.
What is the difference between a dethatcher and scarifier?
A dethatcher will effectively rake up the dead plant thatch, while a scarifier will do that and also roll into your soil and more aggressively rip up the top layer of thatch and soil.
Is dethatching your lawn worth it?
Not all lawns need dethatching, but when your lawn does need it, knowing how to dethatch your lawn is crucial to its future. Done properly, dethatching helps restore your lawn to health and keep it beautiful in years to come. By learning why, when and how to dethatch, you can keep your thick, lush grass on track.

Taken ill, Princess Charlene did not attend the 78th Monaco Grand Prix
Princess Charlène is suffering from an infection, according to a press release from the Prince's Palace. Away on a mission in South Africa, she was unable to return to the Principality over the weekend for the Monaco Grand Prix.
During her trip to South Africa to complete work with her foundation, Princess Charlene fell ill. Having contracted an infection, she was forced to cancel her trip back to the Principality and was unable to watch the 78th edition of the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend.
Accompanied by their children, Prince Albert II and six-year-old twins Gabrielle and Jacques watched as the drivers raced around the Principality's streets last Sunday. Despite her absence, the Princess made sure to send her best wishes to the Automobile Club de Monaco, the organisers of the event, as well as to all of the drivers and their teams.
Catching an infection whilst protecting African wildlife
Passionate about the environment, the Princess was in South Africa as part of a mission to conserve wildlife over there, particularly rhinos: an incredibly threatened species in the region, which is home to 80% of this mammal's entire population.

Lavender Lemon Angel Food Cake
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.
This is the lightest and most delicate cake you've ever tasted. Lavender angel food cake is airy, aromatic, and the perfect final note for afternoon tea, a light summer meal, a garden party, or just a simple Sunday afternoon. It's heavenly.
Also, for a traditional layer cake, try our lemon lavender cake! Lavender is also delicious when used in drinks! Try this blackberry lavender soda, too!
Lavender lemon angel food cake is light, fluffy and so delicious. It's covered in an easy-to-make meringue frosting and sprinkled with lemon zest and lavender flowers. It's beautiful and a surprisingly easy dessert to make.
What is angel food cake?
Angel food cake is a sponge cake. It's incredibly light, since it uses no butter, and has an airy texture that comes from lots of whipped egg whites. For this lemon lavender angel food cake, you will need 12 egg whites (+ an additional 4 egg whites to make the frosting).
Angel food cake has a sweet taste on its own, and in this case is complemented by zesty lemon and gentle, floral, lavender.
Ingredients to make lemon lavender angel food cake
For the lemon lavender angel food cake you'll need:
- Egg whites: You'll need 12 egg whites to make this angel food cake. Make sure they're at room temperature, and save the egg yolks for another use! You'll whip the egg whites to create the light-as-a-feather texture of this cake.
- Cream of tartar: If you've never used cream of tartar before, it's a powder similar to baking soda. You'll need 2 teaspoons for the angel food cake. The cream of tartar will help stabilize the egg whites and increase their volume.
- Sea salt: Add ½ teaspoon to balance the flavors and help bind things together.
- Granulated sugar: Slowly add the 2 cups of sugar to the recipe. Add 2 tablespoons at a time to the egg whites and continue to whip the cake batter until all the sugar is combined and stiff peaks start to form.
- Dried lavender: You'll add 1 ½ teaspoons of dried lavender to the batter, and mix until just combined.
- Lemon oil: For this lemon lavender angel food cake recipe use 1 teaspoon of food-grade lemon oil. If you have lemon essential oil in your house (say, for a diffuser), do a quick search to see if it's ok to consume before adding it to the recipe.
- Zest from 1 lemon: Using a microplane, zest one whole lemon. This will give a bright citrusy flavor to the cake.
- Cake flour: Using 1 ⅓ cup of cake flour will help produce a fine and delicate crumb. All-purpose flour will give a different texture to the cake; angel food cake is one of those recipes where cake flour is best.
To make the meringue frosting you'll need:
- Egg whites: 4 more egg whites are needed to make the beautiful meringue frosting.
- Sugar: Similar to the angel food cake, you'll combine the egg whites and sugar as the basis of the meringue.
- Cream of tartar: Just a ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar will do!
- Sea salt: Add just a pinch.
- Lemon oil: Adding ½ teaspoon of lemon oil will give the meringue frosting a delicate citrus flavor to complement the angel food cake.
What to do with leftover egg yolks
If you haven't made lemon angel food cake before, you might be surprised about the number of egg whites you have to use. They are what gives the cake its light as air, cloud-like fluffiness.
Whatever you do, don't throw away the delicious yolks! They'll keep for 4 days in your fridge so you'll have time to use them in another recipe. Here are a few ideas:
- Make some tangy lemon curd (you could serve this with the lemon angel food cake for big-time bonus points!)
- Add some to your morning omelet to make it extra tasty.
- Make a traditional Caesar salad dressing.
- Start your Sunday with some delicious eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce. This smoked salmon eggs benedict is delish!
- Make some homemade mayonnaise.
- Make strawberry ice cream!
What can you do with culinary lavender?
This lavender angel food cake is your answer. Although all lavender is technically edible, culinary lavender has a much less perfume-y or soapy sense to it. All you'll be baking with are the lavender buds (not the stems, leaves, etc.).
Culinary lavender pairs nicely with citrus, like lemon, as well as other fruits like blueberries and orange. It's floral and somewhat sweet and can be the perfect addition to baked goods, drinks, and dry rubs for meat dishes. Promise, this lavender angel food cake makes for a truly delicious teatime experience or light dessert during the beautiful spring and summer season.
Recipe FAQs
Can I use cartoned egg whites to make angel food cake and/or meringue?
Check the carton for any notes or disclaimers about using cartoned egg whites for recipes like these, the cartoned version may not be able to whip up to stiff peaks. You can absolutely experiment with them, if it's all you have on hand, however, there's a chance they won't create the consistency that you need to make angel food cake or meringue. Fresh egg whites work best.
Can I use lavender from my garden?
All lavender is edible, however, certain varieties of lavender are best for cooking (so you avoid the soapy smell and taste). English lavender is a popular type to cook with, for instance. Fresh lavender from the garden is a great option to decorate the cake with, however, dried lavender is best for cooking/baking.
Can I use lemon extract instead of lemon oil?
Lemon oil has a higher concentration of lemon flavor, but you can absolutely substitute lemon extract for lemon oil.
Can I freeze lemon lavender angel food cake?
If you cover the cake, it will keep at room temperature for a couple of days. Otherwise, wrap the cake or store it in an air-tight container in the freezer for a couple of months. Only store in the freezer if you haven't already iced the cake.

Lavender Lemon Angel Food Cake Recipe
Lavender Lemon Angel Food Cake
- 12 egg whites (at room temperature (Reserve egg yolks for another use. See blog post for ideas.))
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried lavender
- 1 teaspoon lemon oil
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 ⅓ cup cake flour

For the Lavender Lemon Angel Food Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the room-temperature egg whites in a large bowl and add the cream of tartar and sea salt. Using electric beaters, beat the egg whites until they are frothy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat the egg whites until all the sugar has been added and they form stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Add the lavender, lemon oil, and lemon zest and beat just until they are combined.12 egg whites, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, ½ teaspoon sea salt, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons dried lavender, 1 teaspoon lemon oil, Zest from 1 lemon

- Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan onto a wine bottle (or something similar.) Note: some angel food cake pans have feet to hold the cake upside down while it cools. If yours does, use them rather than a wine bottle. When the cake is completely cool, run a knife around the outside to loosen it, remove the bottom of the cake pan, and gently coax the cake out and onto a serving platter.
For the frosting
- In a double-boiler, or using a heat-proof bowl over a pot of water, add the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Bring the water to a boil, making sure that the water does not touch the bottom of the other pot or bowl. Using an electric beater, beat the frosting until the sugar has dissolved and the frosting is hot. Remove from the heat and continue to beat until the frosting has cooled and is thick, about 5 minutes. Quickly beat in the lemon oil and salt.4 egg whites, ⅔ cup sugar, ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar, ½ teaspoon lemon oil, A pinch of sea salt
Assemble the Lavender Lemon Angel Food Cake
- Once the cake has cooled completely (at least 2 hours) spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake using a rubber spatula. You can sprinkle a little lemon zest and lavender flowers over the top, if you'd like.

Sensing human presence in a room using dynamic metasurface antennas
Unmet Need
The current primary method for detecting the presence of humans inside of a building or room is the use of motion detectors that rely on radio frequency or infrared light. The global market for smart home security monitoring sensors is currently valued at approximately $2 billion – the cost of one system typically starts at about $500 but can range from $200 to over $2,000. While these are generally reliable systems, they require a line-of-site path between the human and the detector and require the person to be in motion. More sophisticated technologies have been developed to mitigate these limitations, but they are often drastically more complex and expensive. There is a need for affordable sensors that can detect human presence with high fidelity and without the need for a direct line-of-sight path.
Duke inventors have developed a sensor for detecting humans in a room or building. This is intended to be used to detect intruders in secure environments (homes, data centers, etc.). Specifically, this technology utilizes one or several dynamic metasurface antennas (DMAs) as transmitters and/or receivers to probe the electromagnetic waveforms that are scattered directly and indirectly off a human inside of the room or building. DMAs consist of a waveguide or cavity with subwavelength metamaterial elements patterned into the structure. A radio frequency (RF) source injects a signal into the waveguide or cavity and the signal is leaked out by the metamaterial elements. The statistical variation in the scattering events detected by the receiver as a person enters or moves within a room is used to detect their presence. Importantly, by incorporating switchable components into the metamaterial elements and tuning them independently, DMA patterns can be altered with the electronic circuitry without the need for complex or expensive hardware. This sensor has been demonstrated to operate at millimeter wave frequency range and eliminates the need for direct line-of-site paths, meaning that all locations in a space can be probed (i.e. through solid objects such as thin walls or furniture). There is currently a working model of this sensor that has been tested extensively in staged cluttered rooms. Planned future steps for this project will focus on testing variations in placement/orientation of the transmitter and receiver and analysis method development, including advanced signal processing techniques and/or machine learning algorithms.
Other Applications
This technology could also be used as an occupancy sensor in common residential buildings to control temperature settings, which could reduce energy waste of residential buildings. It could also be used for monitoring vital signs of life in elderly patients or infants without intrusive hardware, like cameras.
- Utilizes simple, low-cost semiconductor and RF components
- Sensor can scan entire space, including through non-metallic objects (furniture, walls); i.e. no direct line-of-sight requirement
- Sensor is physically small
- Sensor has a large operating range and fast acquisition rate with high sensitivity
- Low concern over interference with other devices
- No harmful effects to humans or animals

Chinese contractor seeks additional time to complete World Bank-funded roads in Uganda
Chinese contractor is seeking additional time to complete World Bank-funded roads in Uganda.
- Country:
- Uganda
Chinese contractor is seeking additional time to complete World Bank-funded roads in Uganda. The seven roads include Lakidi Road, Philip Adonga Road, Janani Loum Road, Kitgum Road, Tom Apila and Oneka Roads all located in the Central division, Aya Hellen Dean located in Pandwong division, reported New Vision.
The Chinese firm, China Railway 18 Bureau Group Co Ltd, was given the contract for the work which was expected to last 18 months. The roads were constructed under the World Bank-funded Uganda Support to Municipal Infrastructure Development Program (USMID).
The Chinese firm was approved as a contractor for the multi-billion road works in March this year after emerging as the best-evaluated bidder, reported New Vision. Thomas Oketayot, the president of Kitgum Municipal Development Forum (MDF) said that the contractor was granted a four-month contract extension period by the local government ministry in September this year with caution to finish the works by January 30, reported New Vision.
Oketayot says that the contractor won't be able to beat the November 30 deadline, which is less than a month away. He said MDF and the engineering department of Kitgum municipal had received a minute of a site meeting in which the project manager highlighted a possible extension period of another four months to January next year to fully complete the work, reported New Vision.
"Initially, the contract period was ending in November this year, but from that minute I saw the project manager saying there is a communication coming through that the contract period will be extended," says Oketayot. Alex Abonga, the engineer at Kitgum municipality, says the contract period must be extended so that the contractor covers the current outstanding works. He noted that finishing road works at Kitgum municipality can't be rushed at the moment to beat the November deadline, reported New Vision.
Kitgum municipality is among eight new municipalities that started benefiting from a USD 350 Million World Bank-funded project in 2019. (ANI)

NOS4A2 started off with its first season in the year 2019 and continued for a second season. The television series features a suburban artist who makes use of his supernatural techniques to keep a track of immortal beings. Isn't this something to get excited about?
Creator: Jami O'Brien
Genre: Fantasy, Horror and Drama
Composer: Mike Patton
No. of Seasons: 2
Storyline Of NOS4A2
The character Victoria in NOS4A2 discovers at a young age that she has supernatural abilities. She uses this ability to find lost objects and along the way she encounters a lot of "inscape travellers" of which some are corrupted and some are not. Later, into the hidden universe, she comes across Charlie Manx, who is an immortal feeding on the souls of little children. From this point onwards, the story takes a turn where they both are sworn enemies.
NOS4A2 Cast
Here is the list of main cast of NOS4A2:
- Ashleigh Cummings stars as Vic McQueen.
- Olafur Darri Olafsson stars as Bing Partridge.
- Ebon Moss-Bachrach stars as Chris McQueen.
- Jahkara Smith stars as Maggie Leigh.
- Ashley Romans stars as Tabitha Hutter.
- Virginia Kull stars as Linda McQueen.
- Zachary Quinto stars as Charlie Manx.
- Mattea Conforti stars as Millie Manx.
What To Expect From NOS4A2 Season 3?
The season 2 of NOS4A2 was concluded with hints to a threequel to the series named NOS4A2 Season 3. This was evident because the second season left a number of questions unanswered, which potentially indicates Season 3. But as per the latest news, the television series stands cancelled.
If you love the fantasy world, then don't miss The Little Mermaid: Live-Action This Time!
The future of the NOS4A2 franchise could have been full of possibilities, including new characters, creative plot lines and many more. But, unfortunately NOS4A2 Season 3 is not going to happen.
Why Is NOS4A2 Season 3 Cancelled?
AMC announced on the 31st of August 2020, that NOS4A2 Season 3 was officially cancelled after two seasons. It was a big blow to fans though. The reason behind this is that Season 2 did not receive as much massive ratings as the first season because the audience did not anticipate the story to be cut short.
If you like Sci-Fi, then also read Is Pacific Rim 3 Going To Happen?
While there is no official announcement made for why NOS4A2 Season 3 is cancelled, it is very likely because of the decline in viewership and ratings in the midst of Season 2. (The storyline of the novel is covered in two seasons.)
AMC officially announced, "We won't be making a third season of #NOS4A2".
Jami O'Brien also broke the same news through a series of unfeigned tweets to the fans. She wrote, "Well friends, I heard from AMC last week. There will be no third season of #NOS4A2." Along with this she thanked the whole team of NOS4A2 and permanently closed the doors on NOS4A2 Season 3.
It is really sad for the fans to hear the news of NOS4A2 Season 3 being cancelled. But what can one do, it is only in the hands of the makers. Though they have blended the original storyline of the novel in two seasons, they were expecting it to be more.
Hope this was helpful. Tell us your views and comments in the comment section below. We would love to hear from you!

Reviews don't always tell the whole picture
October 14, 2012
When a new game comes out, people generally look for reviews to see if it's any good. If the critics give it a high score, readers will most likely go out to purchase it. If it receives low ratings, people probably won't purchase it.
The problem with this state of mind is that some mainstream media companies tend to inflate their scores in order to continue to receive free copies of games or hold on to advertisers. What may be a bad product will be perceived as a great product because the score is high, and vice versa.
Resident Evil 6 was greatly anticipated, but as the reviews started to come out, it didn't look good. Gaming companies were giving it really low scores simply because it wasn't what they were expecting. This created a controversy because the general public thought it was a great game, but some people from the mainstream media disagreed.
The issue with this is that the person reviewing the game gave his personal opinion about it, and he did not review the game for what it is. Resident Evil 6 is not the only game to receive very low scores. The game Duke Nukem Forever also received low scores because it wasn't what the reviewers were expecting it to be.
As a reviewer myself, I review a game for what it is. I can't complain that the game doesn't play the way I want it to because instead of a review I would be giving an opinion that only reflects my taste. I can talk about what I personally liked and did not like, but it shouldn't interfere with the final score. I write about the positives and negatives of the game or product and leave it to the reader to see if the product is worth buying. I believe this is how any product should be reviewed, but, unfortunately, it doesn't happen.
The next time an anticipated game comes out, be careful about what the critics say. Some just offer their opinions, while others actually review the game for what it is. Instead of just looking at how many stars a game gets, people should take the time to read the review because it gives more detail than a number would.

Knowing Blood Spatter as Proof
If you transform your tv on in the night it is extremely possible you will discover a television present wherever investigators are utilizing some sort of forensic or scientific technique to gather or determine evidence. If you are not into the criminal offense tv exhibits you can turn to the authentic television demonstrates in which they examine a crime scene that has currently been solved and the suspect is convicted applying forensic evidence collected at the scene.
Acquiring about 30 a long time of a legislation enforcement investigative qualifications and doing the job hundreds of homicide scenarios, I can guarantee you right now if you choose a scenario in front of a jury you greater be ready to produce some variety of forensic or scientific evidence if you want a conviction.
In this report I will describe some of the really principles of blood evidence and how to interpret the clues the blood proof leaves.
Blood pattern's and the interpretation of bloodstain designs are very convincing evidence when utilized by an investigator that understands and can establish and make clear them.
Blood evidence is most usually utilised by a law enforcement investigators in legal circumstances possessing encounter and teaching in blood spatter. Having said that, if a personal investigator is aiding in a defense circumstance with an attorney or working with a loved ones in a wrongful dying case and he/she has an knowledge and awareness of blood patterns, it can just as useful.
Some of the merchandise blood evidence can present is movement and momentum in the course of an attack, the kind of weapon, and if more than a single variety of weapon was used. It will reveal to the qualified eye how many moments the weapon or weapons have been applied, and the length concerning the sufferer and the attacker.
There are three standard varieties of blood designs:
(1) Low velocity spatter.
This happens with a nominal quantity or no power. The blood sample is substantially greater than people of medium velocity and higher velocity.
This is commonly caused by the force of gravity, these types of as blood dropping off a finger or hand.
(2) Medium velocity spatter.
This style of blood pattern is normally caused by some kind of force or motion. This blood pattern is generally found in beating type attacks. The blood is being moved or carried by a little something more than just gravity and a lot less than higher velocity.
A keynote to don't forget with this kind of blood spatter is that during any style of blunt force trauma the initial strike or blow does not produce any sort of blood sample. It is not till the real trauma has began to bleed from the wound and a second blow is struck, triggering the blood to disperse out from the pressure or is forged off the weapon. A great rule of thumb is the larger or blunter the weapon the scaled-down the blood droplets.
(3) Large velocity blood spatter.
This style of sample is manufactured by an exterior great power. The least complicated way to describe this kind of sample is generally referred to as a mist or spray. High velocity patterns are usually designed by gunshots, explosives, and accidents from hefty machinery have usually been recognized to produce a high velocity pattern.
Superior velocity blood spatter droplets, because of to their dimensions, are usually occasions invisible to the bare eye. When investigating superior velocity blood spatter it is finest to use a large intensity light and/ or a magnifying glass to track down and recognize the blood evidence thanks to the sizing of the blood droplets.
Higher velocity blood spatter can also be made use of to determine the distance of a topic involved in a taking pictures. When a bullet enters the overall body it causes an effect called "blow again". This is blood blowing back again in the way the bullet came from. This great mist will only travel a distance of two to a few feet. You will generally obtain tiny mist sort droplets (superior velocity blood spatter) on the sleeve and someday chest of the issue firing the weapon.
This can be pretty critical when making an attempt to ascertain or dispute the length between the shooter and the sufferer in scenarios in which self protection is claimed. In some instances to discover the shooter, as typically moments this blood evidence is very difficult to see and goes unnoticed. The suspect does not see any blood on his outfits and fails to clean up it just after staying concerned in the assault or murder. Several noted suicide scenarios have turned into murder situations with this variety of proof immediately after investigators identified superior velocity blood spatter on the reporting get-togethers shirt sleeves.
Another sort of blood evidence is blood transfer. This is blood that has been carried from a single supply these types of as fingers, hair and even outfits then transferred to an additional object.
When analyzing blood proof, recall that blood will flow down due to gravity, and getting a fluid, it will take the path of least resistance. This will support you in pinpointing the situation your victim at the time of the personal injury, and if the target was moved in any manner. Generally situations the lack of blood evidence or a" void" implies that a thing has blocked the blood movement or spatter. Once again this can reveal the sufferer was moved or an merchandise of evidence is lacking from the scene.
An investigator applying the blood evidence at the scene can also figure out the angle of impact. By measuring the blood droplets their width by their size (minus the tail) to identify the arcsine. This will decide the angle of impact. The moment an investigator appreciates the angle of affect, this can aid the investigator to identify if the sufferer was standing, kneeling, or laying down at the time of the incident. Or even if the assault was moving all-around.
This post is only the starting and a incredibly standard concept of employing blood evidence in your investigations, on the other hand, as you can see, just the fundamental can guide you with your case.

Dear Eli,
Do you belive there is any "real, relevant" or "meaningful" difference between Joie Versatrax and Joie Finiti? Joie Versatrax has some bad reviews, mostly regarding its sturdiness, but I can't find that many reviews on Finiti.
I am looking for a versatile stroller for a newborn (until whichever age possible, hopefully around the age of 3), I am planning to go for long walks around the city, maybe even use the stroller for the beach this summer, or picknicks in nature here and there. My priority is to have a sturdy and stable stroller which I may even use for my next child one day.
Would you consider Joie Finiti to be a good overall choice?
The only other choice I am "kind of" considering is Cybex Balios S - being in the similar price range, but for some reason, I like Joie Finiti better.
And, would you rather recommend Joie i-Level or Joie Gemm car seat? The price difference is quite noticeable, but I don't think I am ready to risk my baby's safety with the Joie Gemm.
Also, would you recommend using a carry cot with this (or any) stroller for the first few months or is the seat flat enough for a newborn (it's not a full 180 recline, rather, I think, it has 165 degrees recline)? These adjectives are quite confusing, "full recline", "lie flat" etc. - though the producers claim anything more than 150 degrees recline is good enough for a newborn, I wonder - is it really? The internet is playing tricks on my mind!
Thank you for your help!

For High Availability HomeLab, due to quorum requirements, minimum nodes count is three. But if the HomeLab is on budget then often is used some low power and resource consuming node as cluster Arbiter. This Arbiter is used just for quorum management purposes and nothing else.
I have only 2 regular cluster nodes where I'm running Proxmox. and the Proxmox uses Corosync for the cluster nodes management. Corosync has well known possibility to define one node only as Arbiter by the corosync-qnet service.
But the Corosync is only one piece of puzzle of th HA cluster. Next one is Replicated filesystem. For small budget sensitive HomeLab, GlusterFS is nice choice. From the GlusterFS documentation the Thin Arbiter is here also available. But when I started to looking for a way how to make GlusterFS Thin Arbiter Up and Running, I have been faced to very low amount of unclear resources. But "Person grows with tasks". Then I started some research activities and finally I can share this guide with you.
Thin Arbiter Node
Important Notice
I'm using AlmaLinux distribution for my VM. I run the Thin Arbiter as VM on my HomeLab NAS and then the guide is focused on AlmaLinux (or other CentOS based) distribution. But I believe that it can be used on other Linux flawors without any complications too.
Enable GlusterFS Repository on AlmaLinux
The GlusterFS binaries are part of the CentOS SIG (Special Interest Group) repository. So we have to enable this repository. Additionally, the GlusterFS version on Proxmox 8 (what I'm currently using) is 10, then I'm using same version on my Thin Arbiter Node:
Now we are ready for Thin Arbiter "Magic". If you take look into the GlusterFS Thin Arbiter documentation, then you discover cryptic command:
which doesn't work. For example it expects a volume file, but this file doesn't exist. If you try to find a recipe how-to create the file or where to get one, you don't get clean answer. I found a clue by one issue related to GlusterFS on the Github where a setup-thin-arbiter.sh script has been mentioned. Then I found this at the /extras/ sub-folder of the glusterfs repository where the requested thin-arbiter.vol file resides also.
Finally, I have found fosdem presentation related to the Thin Arbiter and this pushed me to the right way. So, here is the recipe:
Install and Configure the Thin Arbiter
Thin Arbiter has own package and then we can install this as any other Linux package:
Now we can use the setup-thin-arbiter.sh script. You can run it without parameter to get some additional info but we can go directly to the setup process:
You can specify here any path what you want, but based on the GlusterFS Brick Naming Conventions I'm using this path: /data/glusterfs/brick_ta
Type Y here
Voila ! The Thin Arbiter is up and running as the Linux service. You can verify this:
Now, the Thin Arbiter node is ready to accept connections from regular GlusterFS nodes for your volume(s). Yes, you can configure more then one GlusterFS volume with this Thin Arbiter and only this one brick as you can see from setup script messages. We just need to enable this Thin Arbiter communication on the firewall. The Thin Arbiter doesn't need to enable same ports as regular glusterFS node and then is enough to allow the TCP 24007 port only. You can restrict this rule also only to IP addresses of the regular nodes, but it's not necessary in cluster protected environment.
Let's continue to setup regular GlusterFS data nodes, in my case, Proxmox instances.
Regular Nodes
HD or SSD drives on regular nodes must be configured and mounted to allow to create GlusterFS Volume Bricks at first. This is well docummented and straighforward process but I provide here quick how-to steps:
Install the GlusgterFS Server on each Proxmox node if not already installed:
List harddrives available on the system to identify the disk for GlusterFS brick(s):
In my case, the disk designatged for GlusterFS is /dev/sdb.
I can use whole disk for the GlusterFS and then I'm overwrite whold disk partition table, and create new partition with 100% disk size. The new partition table must be GPT type. I'm fan of as optimal as possible ways to getting things done, so here is command to do al this in one step:
WARNING!! the command doesn't prompt for anything then be sure that you specify correct disk! If you are unsure, or can use different partition scheme, I recommend to use classical fdisk way. You can find many tutorials how to do that on the Internet.
Format the new partition by xfs filesystem:
You can change the partition label "glusterfs_brick1" on whatever you want and fit your disk management system.
For next step we must identify the partitioon GUID to allow to mount it correctly:
Because the GlusterFS is user space filesystem, then we need to mount the partition now. The GlusterFS documentation recommends to create mount points at /data sub-folders. See GlusterFS Brick Naming Conventions. Based on this I have created this mount point for my GlusterFS pve volume:
And then add this line to the /etc/fstab to mount previously created partition to this mount point. UUID must be the UUID discovered by lsblk command above, in my case 0fc63daf….
now, verify the result of previous operations:
We can see, that sdb1 XFS partition is mounted at /data/glusterfs/pve
Finally, set correct attributes to the GlusterFS volume locations:
If you don't provide this, GlusgterFs will complain during brick creation process.
!!! Do not create brick subfolders for your volume here. This will be done later during volume bring-up process !!!
Now we must allow GlusterFS communication on the Proxmox Firewall. Because the Proxmox 8 is using GlusterFS version 10, here is one very important change in networking behavior:
From Gluster-10 onwards, the brick ports will be randomized. A port is randomly selected within the range of base-port to max-port as defined in the glusterd.vol file and then assigned to the brick. For example: if you have five bricks, you need to have at least 5 ports open within the given range of base-port and max-port. To reduce the number of open ports (for best security practices), one can lower the max-port value in the glusterd.vol file and restart glusterd to get it into effect.
Because I don't like too much randomness in my network environment, I have restricted this new random port range little bit by modyfying the /etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol file. GlusterFS uses one port per brick, so this port range must be equal or higher than bricks count:
Finally, create appropriate firewall rules to allow GlusterFS server communicate with other bricks. Please allow these ports, bricks port range modify to fit your glusterd.vol file modifications or set it to default range 49152-60999 If you do not modified the glusterd.vol file.
Required ports:
- 24007 - GlusterD
- 24008 - GlusterD RDMA port management
- 49152~49155 - Brick ports
Start GlusterFS service:
And verify that service is correctly runing:
Now we have ready all bricks for our GlusterFS wall. Let's go to join them together.
Getting Up the Thin Arbiter GlusterFS Volume
For this task purpose, expect these nodes and it's appropriate DNS or /etc/hosts records:
- pve1-storage
- pve2-storage
- thin-arbiter
Important notice:
These steps must be provided on one of the real GlustgerFS nodes, not on the Thin Arbiter node!! I'll provide full setup on the pve1-storage node.
At first, inform nodes about each other and establish it's trust:
Now we can create the GlusterFS volume. !!The Thin Arbiter brick must be specified as last brick on the command line!! You can see that I'm not use force parameter what is very common on other GlusterFS recipes. It's because we don't create brick sub-folders and set correct volume folder attributes by xattr in previous steps. I think that let things go through without warnings or errors is the best way to getting things done:
Finaly, start the volume and verify it's status:
You can see that Thin Arbiter is not mentioned here as a node, same as if you try to show peer status:
How we can verify that the Thin Arbiter is working correctly then? Of course, you can verify quorum by shuttting down nodes and writing to the volume, but the easiest way id to verify that a special Thin Arbiter Volume file is present at it's brick location. So login to the thin-arbiter node and execute:
If you can see this special file with beginning trusted.afr.<volume_name>-ta-2.xxxx followed by GUID then the Thin Arbiter is functional, because the file is used to maintain volume arbiter status.
If you are curious, you can verify that everything works by mount a GlusterFS client to the volume and try to write to the volume during shutting down some nodes. With Thin Arbiter write to node even the second one is down is still possible and when you bring up the node back, node will be healed and both voilume bricks will hold exactly same data.
So, that's all about the GlusterFS and Thin Arbiter. I believe that you will find this article useful.

Wild Hearts Mirror Stone locations: Where to find Mirror Stone
Here's where to go to find Mirror Stone in Wild Hearts
Where can you find Mirror Stone in Wild Hearts? As you progress down the upgrade tree for your chosen weapon type in Wild Hearts, you'll find that the required materials for each upgrade get more and more difficult to procure. Soon, you won't be needing common Corestone and Small Kemono Hide any longer, but rare and perilous-to-acquire resources such as Mirror Stone and Lightstone.
If you've been searching around Asuma for a while and haven't yet come across any Mirror Stone, we feel your frustration. As it turns out, you can only find Mirror Stone in one specific region of the map, and you can only travel to that location once you've reached a certain point in the main story. Below we'll explain exactly how to get Mirror Stone in Wild Hearts, and where to go to find it once you've unlocked the region in which Mirror Stone can be found.
How to get Mirror Stone in Wild Hearts
Mirror Stone in Wild Hearts is found exclusively in Akikure Canyon, the fourth region you'll unlock in the game. To reach Akikure Canyon, you first need to complete Chapter 1 of the game's main storyline.
If you want to know exactly what to do to complete Chapter 1 and unlock Akikure Canyon for all your Mirror Stone needs, here are the main story bosses you need to defeat:
- Defeat the Kingtusk.
- Defeat the Spineglider.
- Defeat the Lavaback.
- Defeat the Gritdog.
- Defeat the Earthshaker.
After the festival, you can speak to Toga-hime to reach Chapter 2. From this point you can open the main map and travel to Akikure Canyon, which is where you'll need to go to get your hands on some Mirror Stone for your weapons upgrades.
Wild Hearts Mirror Stone locations
Once you reach Akikure Canyon, the next step is to actually find some Mirror Stone. Fortunately, they're fairly easy to come by. Your best bet is to head down into the underground tunnels of this region, because Mirror Stone is plentiful down there and you're likely to come across at least 5-6 Mirror Stone without even looking.
From the starting campsite, the easiest way into the underground tunnels is to follow the main path up the steps until you reach the second Dragon Pit. From there, head right and you'll see a path that dips down into the mountain. Follow this path and you'll find yourself in the underground tunnels.
From here you can mine Mirror Stone to your heart's content. But be careful, as the underground tunnels are often populated with dangerous giant Kemono such as Lavabacks and Sporetails!
Now that you know exactly where to go to get Mirror Stone for all your upgrades in Wild Hearts, you should look towards your own gear to make sure you've made the best choices. If you want to know which weapons to prioritise upgrading, check out our guide to the best weapons in Wild Hearts. If you need help unlocking the later weapons, we've got you covered with our primer on how to unlock new weapons in Wild Hearts. Or if you're sorted for weaponry but your armour needs some work, why not take a look at our Wild Hearts best armor guide?

âWhatâs wrong, why do you look so depressed?â
The word, depression, has been thrown around a lot in the past few years. It has been linked to various kinds of emotions which mainly circle around the factor of âbeing sadâ. As per Science, being sad and being depressed are two very different things. Depression is a disorder, whereas being sad is a temporary feeling. Depression, in fact, can manifest as a multitude of feelings, both emotional and physical.
The lack of avenues to share the feeling experienced by people with depression often makes them feel very lonely and hopeless, triggering several harmful thoughts in their minds. One of them is suicide. World Suicide Prevention Day Firstly, suicide is NOT the answer. It might seem like an answer to end all your problems, but the pain which is caused by the aftermath of suicide is borne by the people who love and care for you. NO PROBLEM IS WORTH YOUR LIFE.Approximately 80,000 commit suicide in a year, all over the world. Most of us "normal" people are oblivious of the problems which are faced by people who attempt suicide. In a world, which is as selfish as ours, it gets even more difficult to seek help, but there is always HOPE. People across the world are addressing mental health and its importance. Movies, TV shows and many other media platforms are showcasing it and more importantly, doctors and hospitals all over the world, including India are coming together to address the aspect of Suicide on the 10th of September, 2018.
When a person is suicidal, there are several symptoms. It is important for each and every person to know this and then try and help people who are suffering from depression and mental illness so they can be saved. These symptoms are:This has encouraged people to talk and to listen, to understand how this feeling can be overwhelming. All it needs is for someone to recognize it and for someone to be willing to help. So if you feel, that you are going through a crisis in life, you feel sad about everything, visit us and we will try our best to understand and help in any way we can.
