The thrust of this thesis is on evaluating the role of nonbonded interactions, namely adhesion, excluded volume interactions, and friction at the interfiber contacts, in defining the mechanical behavior of the network. This physics is studied in (a) fiber networks where strong adhesion results in bundling of fibers and the formation of a network of branched bundles, and (b) quasiplanar fibrous mats where weak adhesion provides stability to point contacts between fibers but does not lead to fiber bundling. Additionally, the coupled effects of the nonbonded interactions and tortuous fiber morphologies, which is commonly observed in many naturally occurring fibrous materials, are explored in the context of fibrous mats with point contacts.; Analysis of 2D adhesion stabilized networks of branched bundles derived from crosslinked networks, namely Delaunay and Voronoi, revealed that the crosslinked networks undergo large volumetric shrinkage due to bundling, and the scaling of this volumetric shrinkage to the magnitude of adhesion is revealed. In this thesis, it is found that the mechanics of the network of bundles depends largely on the level of crosslinking in the parent crosslinked network. Networks derived from highly crosslinked networks, like Delaunay, show a strain-stiffening response while strain-softening response is observed for networks derived from sub-isostatic Voronoi networks. Additionally, it is demonstrated that tuning the level of crosslinking in the parent network can result in adhesion stabilized network of bundles, which show initial strain-softening response followed by a rapid strain-stiffening — a behavior similar to that of elastomers.; Small-strain mechanics of cellular networks of bundles formed from extensive adhesion driven self-organization in non-crosslinked fibers is also studied in this thesis. In these networks, typically three bundles exchange fibers between them to form a triangular nodal structure. It is shown that these nodal structures are highly stable and the movement of bundle branching points during loading is limited. However, it is found that the peculiar geometrical features associated with these triangular nodal structures provide these networks with an unexpected non-exponential strain-stiffening at larger strains.; In the later part of this thesis, we investigate quasiplanar fibrous mats with adhesion stabilized point contacts. Additionally, friction is also applied at the contacts. These mats show a bilinear elastic-plastic behavior when subjected to uniaxial tensile loading, with plasticity emerging from frictional sliding at interfiber contacts. It is shown that the nonaffine deformations during straightening of tortuous fibers couples with the frictional sliding to provide the observed non-zero tangent modulus in the post-yielding regime. This could potentially explain the post-yielding tangent modulus of the bilinear elastic-plastic response observed in many dry nonbonded nonwovens, like cellulose nanofibril paper, electrospun nanofiber mats etc.; Finally, this thesis also addresses the issue of fiber entanglement in athermal semi-flexible fibers. We study the structure-property relationship of 3D tortuous fiber mats with Coulombic friction and no adhesion. The effect of entanglement on the stress-strain response of these mats is demonstrated by eliminating the potential effects of other geometrical properties of the fibers. Furthermore, we propose a concept of entanglement length based on interwovenness of the fibers, and we show that this length-scale correlates well with the observed entanglement effect on the tensile stress-strain response.; In summary, the key contribution of this dissertation is to further the understanding of the effects of nonbonded interactions, particularly adhesion, in networks of branched fiber bundles and nonwoven mats without bundling and, consequently, open avenues to designing fiber networks with tuned architecture and mechanical properties.; In the presence of strong adhesion, fibers bundle leading to the formation of a non-crosslinked network of fiber bundles. The structure of these networks is defined by the interplay of adhesion and bending energies. To determine the structure of self-organized networks in the presence of adhesion, the evolution of bundling and junctions between bundles has to be traced in time. To this end, a semi-analytical expression specifying the constraints on the curvature of bundles in the vicinity of a branching point at static equilibrium is derived. Based on this theoretical analysis, a novel computational method is developed to determine the stable configurations of the adhesion stabilized bundle networks and their mechanics by minimization of total energy.; Many biological and engineering soft-materials have microstructures comprising of networks of fibers, e.g. nonwovens, electrospun scaffolds, collagen networks, buckypaper etc. The mechanical properties of fiber networks depend on single fiber properties, network architecture, and interactions between fibers. The nature of interfiber interactions, whether bonded or nonbonded, have a dramatic effect on the mechanical properties of fiber networks. Thus, a detailed understanding of the various types of interfiber interactions and their effects on network mechanics will enhance the understanding of many biological materials and help design novel engineering soft-materials.;

Letters to the editor for Saturday, May 7, 2022
We're pro biz -- if they agree with DeSantis
There are ads on TV that tout Florida as a pro business state. I think those ads should be revised to add a warning, like those on cigarette packs, It should say: "Warning: Florida is only pro business if you do not disagree with the governor. Retaliation may result from stating an opinion opposite that of the governor."
Currently the governor is attacking the largest employer in the state which is the biggest taxpayer in Central Florida because it disagrees with him.
Any prospective new business in the state should obtain a list of the current pronouncements from the governor as to what people may say and read in the state. Those business should stay on top of the news as there may be more "rules" promulgated as the governor seeks to broaden his base for his presidential run. Businesses need to be forewarned before they make an investment in the state.
Patricia S. Napier, Fort Myers
Sounds familiar
DeSantis has said Floridians will not see any tax increases due to the law dissolving Reedy Creek and insisted that Disney will pay its "fair share" of taxes.
If this sounds familiar, you may be confusing it with "we will build a big beautiful wall and Mexico will pay for it."
Roger W. Quagliano, Estero
Tired of complaints about governor
I am so tired of reading complaint after complaint about our governor and the state in general in The News-Press. It surprises me because everyone in my neighborhood is very happy with our governor and the issues he supports. Yet I see very few letters published in The News-Press that are positive.
Perhaps the people living in our great state who are so unhappy should relocate to another state where they would feel more comfortable. Whining is getting so, so tiresome!
Rita Montano, Cape Coral
Commissioner's explanation unconvincing
I got this in a newsletter from Rick LoCastro in response to the article in the Naples Daily News which stated the he applauded Mr. Worrell after the latter's staged performance as a victim of political persecution and tearful portrayal of himself and others as being political prisoners in this country.
In the newsletter Rick LoCastro states: "I offered to point this person in the right direction (to our State Attorney). That mere assistance ISN'T support, advocacy, or championing his cause… as some incorrectly thought or assumed. It's an elected official providing correction and direction. Unfortunate and disappointing a local newspaper and a select few misinformed people on social media drew their own false conclusions. When in doubt about my actions as your public servant… CONTACT ME ANYTIME."
Out of curiosity, I viewed the video of Mr. Worrell's speech on April 26, it is available on the commission's website. It clearly shows Commissioner LoCastro clapping his hands after Mr. Worrell's "performance." Since when is clapping your hands "giving advice"? What conclusion would you draw from someone clapping his hands?
As a reminder, Christopher Worrell, a member of the Proud Boys, is accused of attacking police officers with a pepper spray gel at the Jan. 6 insurrection. Perhaps Mr. LoCastro's advice to Mr. Worrell should have been to take responsibility for his own actions. And perhaps he should do the same.
Don't trust your eyes and ears? Fake News. Where have we heard that before?

Development interests donate to candidates
The commissioner's election in North Naples District 2 is shaping up to be a humdinger.
There are now seven candidates vying for the Solis vacancy. The newest candidate, Reg Buxton, entered the ring in March with a grand total of $36,300 in donations. He received an additional $9,150 in April. Looking carefully at his donors and checking with the Florida Secretary of State, it became apparent that he received $15,000 of that total from entities controlled by Stock Development. He also declared $8,000 from entities controlled by developer David Torres. Then additional money from engineering firms, lawyers retained by developers, a surveyor, a landscaper, a city planner, and so on.
At the League of Women Voters Forum on May 3, the candidates were asked if they would accept donations from developers. Reg Buxton said "yes, he has taken money and may take more money." He added that commissioners needed to "work with the developers." Hall said he would take money from anybody but he can't be bought. Nancy Lewis' answer was she was refusing money from developers and special interests because she would only be representing the interests of Collier County residents.
While I know this funding of a candidate by developers and their cronies is not illegal, it is deceitful and misleading to say the least. Now the developers' candidates have plenty of money for TV and radio spots and the once level playing field is not tilted in their favor.
How can the other candidates campaign effectively when they are vastly overspent by the developers' candidates? I pray that a grassroots effort will emerge from this knowledge and the residents will flock to the polls to protect their quality of life that is being eroded by special interests.
However, one candidate in District 2 has repeatedly refused to accept money from special interests, including developers. Nancy Lewis is relying on the residents for her support. How refreshing is that?

Biden's actions on COVID commendable
Regarding the recent letter claiming that there have been more pandemic deaths during and due to President Biden's presidency than President Trump's:
There are many variables determining the outcome of COVID cases, not only the president's actions during particular phases of the pandemic.
Far from denying the significance of the COVID outbreak, President Biden has assumed an active role in combatting it. He continues to address prevention and treatment, not perfectly, but commendably and at great length, especially by promoting effective vaccines and tests.
With new variants and cases of COVID-19 we have a major ongoing health issue. Let's direct our common efforts to prevention and good care of victims with continuing guidance and help from President Biden, our various governmental entities, and the dedicated throughout our country.
Betty Tobin, Fort Myers
Where's equity in student loan forgiveness?
President Biden is in the process of deciding about forgiving some student loan debt. The estimate of the cost of eliminating just $10,000 is around $331 billion. To eliminate all student debt is much more. Forgiving $10,000 is what it would cost to give every person in the U.S. $1,000. Paying people with college educations and not those without college education does not make any sense to me. How about equity, which this administration seems totally focused on at this time? How does paying off debt for those who went to college and accumulated debt and not compensating those that went to college and worked to pay for their education without debt equate to equity? How is it equitable to reward those who have not paid their education debt, but not for those who have paid their debt? What happened to the focus on equity?

Youth to Majors, few blacks are playing baseball
- Solutions are sought as African-American baseball numbers are well below earlier levels
Ernie Richardson grew up playing baseball in Mount Vernon and now serves as Mount Vernon High's varsity baseball coach.
"Growing up, you'd see kids playing baseball in the street. You'd see a painted square on a building for a strike zone," he said. "Baseball saved my life. It kept me out of the streets and gave me an outlet to do things constructively."
But nowadays, he describes baseball as a "dying sport, especially in the black community."
"There is a disconnect between baseball and the African-American community," said Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. "If you look at it from the standpoint of the Negro Leagues, baseball was the sport in African-American communities… At some point our community kind of fell out of love with baseball."
When Monte Irvin was growing up, Major League Baseball was segregated. But baseball was every inch black America's game.
For African-American kids, playing for the Yankees or Giants or Cardinals was no more than a maybe-someday dream. But Negro League teams, the Kansas City Monarchs, New York Black Yankees, Philadelphia Stars and Chicago Black Sox, put professional careers within reach.
And those teams often outdrew their Major League counterparts.
"Baseball was king. It meant everything to play because everyone else played," recalled Irvin, who at 96 is the oldest living African-American to have played in the Majors. "You'd pass playgrounds filled with kids.
"I hope one of these days we get back to that," he added after a pause.
It has been 68 years since Jackie Robinson integrated MLB with the Brooklyn Dodgers and 66 years since Irvin, who'd become MLB's first black executive, left the Newark Eagles to play for the New York Giants.
Since then, baseball revenue and salaries have soared but playgrounds are no longer filled with kids toting bats and gloves. African-American participation in particular has declined.
In 1986, big league rosters were 19 percent African-American.
When the 2014 season opened, 59 of 750 players, just 7.8 percent, were African-American. This April, the number was 60, or 8 percent.
The decline of interest in baseball for African-Americans is not limited to the Major Leagues or colleges.
In 1997, Little League Baseball, which has always been integrated, boasted 2.5-2.6 million players worldwide. That number is down to about 2.1 million,said spokesman Brian McClintock. It's unclear how many of the players lost were black Americans, but there's little doubt their numbers have tumbled.
Mount Vernon's youth baseball program isn't at death's door, but neither is it flexing its muscles. The program, which is about 80 percent African-American, once boasted about 600 baseball players.
Last year, the number was 290 in baseball and softball combined, from T-ball through the 13- to 17-year-old Babe Ruth level.
"It really tore my heart when I heard there were only 290 kids," said Karen Fountain, who recently rejoined the league as president.
Peekskill's Lapolla Little League was so short of players two years ago that only a late registration surge saved its 50th season. It had more than 300 players a decade ago; It has about 150 now.
Last year, two teams wanted Peekskill High's Troy Holt, said his mother, Dena Newby. But she doesn't know how long he will want baseball. She thinks that he, like so many African-American boys, will abandon baseball for basketball.
Marketing cool and competing interests
Baseball's fall coincided with basketball's rise.
A Sports & Fitness Industry Association/Physical Activity Council study estimated that, in 2012, 6.95 million American kids, 6-18, played basketball, as compared to 5.61 million playing baseball.
"In the African-American community, basketball is the cool thing to do," said Ric Wright of Mount Vernon's Department of Recreation. "Kids get to 13, 14, and baseball is no longer looked at as the cool thing to do."
Bob Cimmino, Mount Vernon High School's athletic director and coach of its highly successful boys varsity basketball team, spent 20 years as the city's Little League commissioner.
But he sees baseball fields at Brush Park ("Mount Vernon at its best.") as the past, suggesting baseball, a slower-paced game, has gone the way of "bell bottoms."
The advent of year-round basketball is one thing that hurts baseball, Cimmino said.
"It used to be that there were three-sport varsity athletes," he said. "But now, if a basketball player plays 12 months a year, he's playing eight months for an outside interest. If he plays baseball it means he's missing the AAU (basketball) season. There's so much money for (basketball) pros, the average kid wants to play year round."
Cost and facilities
Particularly in the Northeast, there are few ways to play baseball 12 months a year. And, as Irvin noted, the vacant lots city kids once used for pickup games are largely gone.
Victor Flack played Little League before making both the varsity football and baseball squads at Mount Vernon High. He went on to pitch for the New Rochelle Robins summer team and recalls giving up a gargantuan home run to future MLB star Manny Ramirez.
His son, Victor III, now plays high school ball for Richardson.
"It can cost $5,000 to $6,000 to go to camp," said Flack, who graduated from Mount Vernon in 1992 and went on to play baseball for Westchester Community College. "People in black neighborhoods don't have that money."
Richard Coley, whose son also plays for Mount Vernon High, indicated summer travel teams tend to run from $700 up.
"One travel team wanted $2,500. That's insane," he said, noting that many teams have paid coaches whose goal is to win games, not necessarily develop players.
Even at the younger level, baseball isn't cheap. There's a lot more equipment involved than in basketball, where, once a hoop is found, sneakers and a ball are all you need. And then there are the registration fees.
Rock Geffrard, a former Mount Vernon Little League commissioner and the city's current RBI (Reviving Baseball in the Inner Cities program) coordinator, thinks high fees are why only 30 kids played Mount Vernon Babe Ruth last year. With some help from MLB and local youth organizations, Mount Vernon's youth baseball fees, which last year went as high as $150 for its Babe Ruth program, have been slashed to $60.
Mount Vernon RBI board member Carolyn Harris, whose son, Shawn, 13, will play Babe Ruth this season, agreed.
"Parents don't have the money. We need to open up to kids who can't afford it," Harris said, suggesting the city contribute more, fees be cut and the program expanded to give safe haven to youngsters whose parents (often single mothers) can't afford summer camps — baseball and general summer camps alike.
Major League Baseball is aggressively fighting the numbers problem. About 200,000 children in the U.S. play RBI baseball, almost an 80 percent increase since 2009. And MLB plans to expand its four free inner-city baseball academies to additional cities as a means of procuring talent — 150 former academy players have been drafted by MLB teams in the last eight years.
Seeing African-American Major Leaguers at a baseball camp or at a youth league event might help promote the sport, according to local baseball enthusiasts.
"Today's children don't see many African-American baseball players," said Fountain, the Mount Vernon RBI president. "They see Dominicans, Puerto Ricans. They may see a man of color but they know he's not from New York or Oklahoma or what have you."
"If you go to the black community and ask a kid for the names of five superstar baseball players, he can't give them to you," said Geffrard. "He can give you 20 for basketball before five for baseball."
Don't ask Troy Holt either. The youngster, whose younger brother, Khalil Newby, 9, also plays in the Peekskill league, gave an empty shrug when asked to name his favorite baseball player but quickly said Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving when queried about basketball.
"You need someone to look up to," said Mount Vernon High senior Terell Huntley, 18, a first baseman.
The game, however, may have held more appeal for blacks when the Negro Leagues existed. As Hall of Famer Irvin recalled, the segregated leagues produced many black superstars.
Irvin, who played alongside Willie Mays, said MLB lost its black superstars with Mays' retirement in 1973, and the 1975 retirement of Bob Gibson and then Hank Aaron in 1976.
"All of a sudden, you look up and you don't have any African-American players playing," Irvin said.
Access and difficulty in playing
There are other factors, of course. Kendrick points to some MLB teams' exodus from downtown areas, where many blacks live, to newer stadiums, not easily accessible by mass transit.
Ticket prices have also risen, making it more difficult for lower-income people to attend games. And then there is the patience factor.
"It takes longer to learn how to play baseball and you really have to dedicate yourself," Irvin said.
"The tolerance level for failure is certainly not where it used to be," Hanzlik said, describing baseball as "more of a skill sport" than others and one in which "individual achievement and failure are much more magnified."
"If they experience too much failure, they tend to give up," he said.
Huntley agreed, saying many of his peers who've left the game would "pout or get an attitude" when playing.
"I've been playing since I was 8. My heart is in baseball but a lot of people have given up on the game," Huntley said.
The idea that today's kids can't deal with failure was a subject of discussion during an RBI Institute seminar earlier this year, Wright said. One league found a solution: Have kids play T-ball until age 13, so that they won't strike out.
"Success breeds enthusiasm," he said, contending today's kids want instant gratification. "We're thinking of what changes can be made. If a 13-year-old has success, he's more likely to play at 14."
Irvin, who won the Negro League World Series with Newark in 1946 and the MLB World Series with the 1954 Giants, is optimistic.
"I love baseball so much. I think it's the greatest game that was ever invented," he said.
He suggested that big-leaguers visit more local youth teams, bringing the message that "You don't have to be very big, tall or heavy to star and have a career that will last for a long time."
His advice: "If kids wise up and are a little smarter and see how much money they can make and how long a career can last, we'll see baseball again," he said. "We need kids to play. If they play, stars will develop and that will be the salvation."

Day 29
Just assume from here on out that I'm in Texas
Today was a rolling 60 mile day to Langtry. That is the town where the famous Judge Roy Bean held court. I'm very tired tonight, we have another 60 mile day tomorrow, then a 75 mile day after that. I'm cooking on the 75 mile day. I'm going to crawl into the tent and try and get some good sleep.

The Los Angeles Rams came through a tough test against the Green Bay Packers last time out, but their unbeaten record this term will face another challenge on the road at the New Orleans Saints.
Ty Montgomery's fumble at the Los Angeles Coliseum allowed the Rams to see out the victory, denying Aaron Rodgers the opportunity to engineer a game-winning drive for the Packers.
The contest was the closest Los Angeles have been pushed this term, but they managed to rise to the occasion to see off the threat, moving to 8-0 on the campaign. Sean McVay's men have further tests ahead, but they could have one eye on a potential run at an unbeaten season.
New Orleans will push them harder than Green Bay given their record this term. Drew Brees and company have been outstanding, reeling off six wins on the bounce after losing their opener to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Sean Payton's side proved their mettle on the road last week with a brilliant win over the Minnesota Vikings. The defense produced big plays when required to force mistakes from Adam Thielen and Kirk Cousins to secure the victory. New Orleans will need a similar effort this week to end the Rams' unbeaten start to the season.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints avenged their defeat in the Minnesota Miracle by defeating the Vikings last time out. New Orleans' defense secured two vital turnovers to swing the contest in the favour of their side, forcing a fumble from Thielen and notching a pick-six of Cousins to deliver the victory. Payton's men are playing complementary football with both offense and defense contributing to their six wins on the bounce. New Orleans' season began with a shocking home defeat to the Buccaneers, but since then the club have been flawless, putting themselves in contention for a bye in the post-season.
Brees is playing arguably the best football of his career, although he did throw his first interception of the term last week. Still the 39-year-old continues to operate at the peak of his powers, throwing for 1,990 yards and 14 touchdowns with a quarterback rating of 118.2 – the best figure of any player that has played over seven matches.
The Saints have not been over reliant on Brees this season, allowing him to play within himself and not throw almost 50 passes per game as he had been accustomed to in years past. He's in a good rhythm with Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara, who have both been superstars. One slight concern will be burden placed on the two players, with not a lot of talent outside of the duo on New Orleans' offense.
Cameron Jordan is the anchor of the Saints' defense and has continued to shine. However, he has been supported brilliantly by Marcus Davenport and Sheldon Rankins, the former living up to the billing after being selected in the first round of the 2018 Draft. PJ Williams notched the interception of Cousins and scored against the Vikings, highlighting the talent in the secondary. Between Marshon Lattimore, PJ Williams, Marcus Williams and Eli Apple there's a solid group beginning to emerge, although they will have to be at their best to stop Jared Goff and company.
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams were tested by the Packers right to the death in their contest last week. McVay almost paid the price for a conservative call that only put his team two points in front with two minutes remaining. However, Montgomery's fumble on a kick-off return allowed Los Angeles to see out the win, with Todd Gurley wisely dropping to the deck to run out the clock than going for the endzone.
It was not a complete performance from the Rams and at times their offense was held in check by the Packers' defense. They proved they don't have to be at the peak of their powers to score almost 30 points as Goff and Gurley turned on just enough quality to edge out Rodgers and his team.
Gurley's success is more important to the Rams than Goff, with the offense flowing through the quality of the running back. He notched a 100-yard game on the ground for the fourth time this term, notching his 15th touchdown in the process. The 24-year-old is the first name opposing defenses look to limit against Los Angeles.
It's not to say Goff has not played well – he has performed at a high level. However, there is more space to exploit in the passing game due to the presence of Gurley. Goff threw for three touchdowns against the Packers, taking his tally to 17 on the season. More importantly he has limited his mistakes, committing only five interceptions. Remaining error-free could be the difference between home-field advantage and facing a challenge on the road in the playoffs for Los Angeles.
Aaron Donald is on the way to winning NFL Defensive Player of Year award for the second year on the bounce. After a slow start to the season, the defensive tackle has now recorded 10 sacks. He's on pace to break the 20-sack barrier for the first time in his career. The Rams have bolstered their pass-rush around the superstar, acquiring Dante Fowler Jr from the Jacksonville Jaguars, which will create further havoc for opposing offenses.
Betting Options
The Saints have only lost one game this term, which came on the opening day of the season. Los Angeles are unbeaten therefore we should be a set for a thrilling contest. Both teams are well balanced and have potent offenses that can score at will, but also the players on defense to make crucial stops. The key to the game will be the performance of Gurley. If he can control the tempo of the contest then the Rams will be able to settle into a rhythm.
Should the Saints limit him out of the backfield and force the game into the hands of Goff, New Orleans will have a huge advantage. Given they're at home take the Saints for the win at odds of +109 with BetOnline. Take the Saints on a -3 spread at odds of 29/20 with 888Sport, with the home side edging out the victory by a field goal. The over/under line has been set at 58.5 points by TopBet, back the over at odds of -110 .
The Saints will need Thomas and Kamara to be on form in the contest. Back Thomas to find the endzone anytime at odds of 9/10 with 888Sport, while Brandin Cooks will be desperate to prove a point against his former club for the Rams at odds of 31/20 to score anytime. Brees will have his work cut out this week, take him to score over 2.5 touchdowns at odds of 13/10 and for Goff to achieve the same feat at 6/5 with 888Sport.
It might be a big day for Brees so back him to throw for the most touchdowns in the contest at 29/20 . Gurley should be more than a factor in the contest, he will have over 84.5 rushing yards at 4/5 with 888Sport. One defensive player will need to come up with the goods for the Saints. Rankins has impressed of late, back him to notch at least one sack at 6/4 with 888Sport.

Ascend Properties places firmer foundations in Leeds and Wolverhampton with flagship offices
When Ged McPartlin first launched Ascend Properties, the estate agency brand, he certainly hit on an apt name.
In recent weeks Ascend has announced the acquisition of NW Estates in Warrington and Rent Smart in North Manchester, as the company sets its sights on fulfilling an ambitious growth plan that includes acquiring a total of ten estate and letting agency branches within three years.
Of course, one downfall to such an upward trajectory is the requirement for a bigger home to house this workplace family and this week, the precocious McPartlin has unveiled not one but two branch office upgrades.
Ascend's brand new, larger, flagship offices are at Duncan Street, Leeds and Darlington Street, Wolverhampton and replace their former offices in each town which have been outgrown. Both will open in the coming days.
Eatock Design and Build put together the look and feel of each new branch at a cost of over £100,000 and at a time when many agents, whilst enjoying a buoyant market, are perhaps otherwise being cautious about investing in their businesses.
Managing Director of Ascend Properties, Ged McPartlin, commented:
"Despite the pandemic we have managed to grow our core business in our already established areas with sales and lettings transactions now significantly exceeding previous years.
We are investing heavily in premises, people, technology and acquisitions whilst others are not – because we believe strongly in ourselves and in the future property market in the areas that we operate in."
Professional high-res images of the new offices are here

text: Dedicated to Prof. Hitoshi Ohtaki on the occasion of his 60th birthday The Raman band of the Vj(Ax) mode of S04~ of Li2S04 dissolved in water and water-dimethyl-formamide mixtures was measured in the concentration range 0.01 to 0.2 mol • dm-3. The central frequency of the sulfate ion increases with sulfate concentration. The limiting frequency at infinite dilution depends on the DMF content. The Raman band becomes asymmetric with increasing concentration of Li2S04 in 20 wt% DMF mixtures and with addition of LiCl to the aqueous solution of Li2S04. The vibrational relaxation behavior of the v1(A1) mode was investigated by analyzing the vibrational correlation function based on Kubo's stochastic theory.

Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll progress…
I'm thoroughly enjoying this mystery. Having done two other Bonnie Hunter mysteries from her Quiltville site, I started this mystery with eyes wide open knowing that it would:
1 alle dateien einer webseite downloaden. actually USE my stash;
2. have a lot of small pieces;
3. have some easy blocks and some 'need caffeine and music to distract me' blocks;
4 herunterladen. have colours together that I would never have thought of (she's brilliant!);
5. have a breaktaking outcome.
Here's where I am so far:
Step 1: done on time
Step 2: done on time
(picture shows steps 1 & 2)
Step 3: Interesting — I was the one who didn't want to use paper as my foundation because of all the ripping and mess komplette playlist downloaden! So I found the Ricky Tims Stable Poly Stuff which dissolves in water. To make a long story short – I had a better time ripping off the paper of the first 10 I did that way before discovering the 50 pack of Stable Poly Stuff herunterladen. We had a memorial service yesterday for my DMIL so I thought before we left I would put the 50 blocks on 'delicate' on a short cycle in the washer to self-dissolve sparda bank hamburg secure app herunterladen. While it worked I wouldn't recommend it. I have to restitch 3 blocks that were stressed to the point of coming apart on one strip. Also, it looks like I put a full box of kleenex in the washing machine magix music maker 2015 full version download for free. There is white fluff on my clothes, white fluff left in the washer, white fluff on the laundry room floor, white fluff on my ironing board (I didn't dry them; I just ironed them wet to block them), and white fluff on my dark blue carpet in my sewing room youtube videos in mp4 herunterladen. Moral of the story ~ follow Bonnie's instructions because she has obviously "been there, done that" and found the best way. Bonnie, you rock! herunterladen! Pardon my laziness and thinking there was a better way.
Step 3 photo:
Step 4: 1 set done just to see skype voor laptopen. Love it! Now that I'm done Step 3, I will forge ahead and finish the 'easy' Step 4.
Step 5: Using triangulations and got 24 done with one sheet of paper herunterladen. Love them! Hoping another lesson won't be learned in doing it my own way. So far they look awesome. Only 24+ sheets to go. Better than saying 500+ blocks to go right?
Step 6: Seems way in the future to me but I'll get there.
Guessing at the mystery: Not even close!! I love surprises and it seems Bonnie has really done it this time!
And tomorrow is Friday! So we'll get the second to last clue. Aren't we having just the greatest fun??
Until next post…

Final Judgment: Jungle Scout Evaluation 2022.
I wish you're still with me because we reached to end of this Jungle Scout review. I have actually covered practically every detail of Jungle Scout.
I have made use of numerous tools before utilizing Jungle Scout because I intend to contrast Jungle Scout to other devices. Afterwards, I have started with Jungle Scout and never ever looked back. The very best component concerning Jungle Scout is that they use a 7-day money-back guarantee to their brand-new customers. That indicates if you're not satisfied with it after that obtain your cash back.
Yet I make sure it will certainly happen extremely seldom since if you're serious about your Amazon marketing organization after that you will certainly stick with Jungle Scout. So if you intend to discuss even more Jungle Scout then comment listed below in the comment area as well as I'll return to you immediately.

Silver Kiss of the Magical Twilight of the Full Moon (Silver Kiss or SKMTFM for short) is a roleplaying game poking gentle fun at the myriad of young adult supernatural romance novels that have gained a lot of popularity in recent years.
It's set up is pretty simple. You get 5 people in a room (sense of humor and ability to poke fun essential). One person will GM the other 4 will be two groups of best friends, one supernatural and the other human. Add a large dash of angsty teenage romance, shake vigorously and serve.
It's important to note that you don't actually need to have read the source material to get this game. Watched Buffy and seen the drama of Buffy's relationship with Angel, or Willow's with Oz? Ever heard of this small book series called Twilight? Then you'll get the game. Find your inner teen, ramp them up 10 fold and make them as self obsessed as possible and you'll be all good. The author obviously does know the source material well though, so if you want to get in the right frame of mind check out the Recommended Reading and Recommended Viewing section of the Appendix.
SKMTFM is elegant in it's simplicity, which is actually really refreshing in a pick up game. Many other games I've read that are meant to be easy to just jump into generally aren't and get bogged down by too many rules and game design discussion. It's a small book (40 pages), but covers everything you need to know about running the game, hand outs and character sheets. There is even an intro scenario to help you out if you find the idea of making it all up on the fly a bit daunting. It's also been very well designed, which is a plus.
I would recommend going through the whole process though, as that is a large part of the fun. Deciding on your supernaturals, who the characters are and what their secret agendas are is hugely entertaining. I've played it three times, twice as the supernatural love interest (a goddess of fire and a were-panther) and once as the human best friend.
Over all this is a hugely fun game for when you have players not show up, you need a break from killing orcs or want to run something at a convention.
(Disclaimer: I know the author well, game with her regularly and was given a review copy of the game.)
This game takes the very ripe and ready genre of "High School Supernatural Romance" and run with it. And yes I do mean things like "Twilight" and many other books and TV shows like "Vampire Diaries". Set it all in some small town where the girls are super smart and beautiful, the boys are all emo and everyone is trying to date the local supernatural populace.
The hard core horror gamer in me wants to rebel, saying that this is what is so wrong with the genre today. That last generations monsters are this generations would be dates. But in truth I just can't get worked up about it. The games are fun, there is a bit of tongue in cheek here (ok, maybe more than a bit) and if these games can capture just a fraction of the "Teen Angst" market that sells the books and TV shows, then they will be the ones laughing at us hard core horror types. ;)
So what is this games? Well if you have ever listened to a Smiths song, then that is what you have here. Take those high school kids, mix in a supernatural and let wackiness ensue. It goes for very rules-light presentations and instead focus on the relationships and interactions with the characters. In fact the rules are so light that an enterprising GM could add these games to any current modern supernatural game (or even supers) for another level of play.
There are some very interesting things going on in this book. First I loved the idea of chocolate as XP, great thing to do and something I have used with younger kids too. The game assumes four players; two humans and two supernaturals. The stats are very simple and include names like "Emo" and "Bad Ass". You get some points to redistribute, so you can have a high "Pretty" and a lower "Emo" for example. The supernaturals get to choose their race and what they can do is agreed on by the group. So vampires can walk around in sunlight or faeries can't go into churches. Then the first scene, or soon after that, one of the humans and one the supernaturals fall in love. It is designed to be very fluid and fast. When there is conflict a simple d6 resolution mechanic is given. The idea here is not who could beat who in a fight, but rather what would be more dramatic and even angsty for the game? For example if tonight is the big prom (and there is always something going on "tonight") then if two characters get into a fight (let's say the brooding vampire boy and the pining werewolf boy) then the winner will be the one that causes the most drama for our human girl. She wants to take the vampire, but if the vampire beats the crap out of the werewolf then she will feel for the poor werewolf! So much drama. And that is what the game is all about and I think the author Jenni Dowsett does it very, very well. The game includes tons of "Secret agendas" for the supernatural creatures. Everything from the personal (X is already in a relationship with Y) or the global (You can't be with her because you are a Z).
My favorite though is a bunch of Emo Quotes that are cut up and given to players to use. The only thing that is really missing is a rule on how to handle the "long meaningful stare". The character sheets are easy to fill out. I suggest printing out the book two page per sheet, that gives your characters sheets a nice portable size that you can fold over like a small journal or diary. An appendix of recommended reading, watching and listening is included. The game ends with a Halloween themed episode/adventure.
The author also has an active blog where she is posting new ideas for her game all the time, http://jennitalula.wordpress.com/.

Hi everyone.
Like a lot of people i have been searching for ways to record my mixes using my 2 X SC5000M & X1800 mixer. I came across the Evermix and bought one to try. It works exactly as it should and is a great little box BUT… The recording level is so low. I have to be redlining my channels to get any sort of volume increase. I have changed the output volume in the utility menu but still no change really. I sent the box back to Evermix to be checked and they said it worked fine on there system but ive changed all the output levels i can to be able to increase the volume but its still no better. I have tried with the Record Out line and booth but I think im going to have to sell it which is a shame as its exactly what i need as i have no space to use a laptop to record… Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks

Special Forces soldier found dead next to Army vet at Fort Bragg 'killed Green Beret in 2018 in front of daughter, 5'
A SPECIAL Forces soldier who was found dead next to an Army vet at Fort Bragg "killed a Green Beret in front of his five-year-old daughter in 2018," the victim's family says.
Master Sgt William Lavigne II's body was found on the North Carolina base on December 2, and the remains of US Army veteran Timothy Dumas, 44, were recovered nearby.
Fort Bragg confirmed that foul play is suspected and a homicide probe is underway – but Sgt First Class Mark Leshikar's family have now claimed that Lavigne, 37, shot Leshikar dead during a heated argument.
The fatal fight allegedly happened at his home two years ago but Delta Force Operator Lavigne wasn't charged after claiming his friend Leshikar, an Afghanistan and Tajikistan vet, attacked him with a screwdriver.
They argued in Lavigne's driveway as Leshikar was working on his car and though it's not clear what their fight was about, Lavigne recalled how he ran inside, locking in himself and their daughters on March 21, 2018.
Leshikar's family told Connecting Vets that his daughter, five, said that when she opened the door, he "was mad and walking towards uncle Billy and uncle Billy came around and shot him, and then my daddy did this."
"He kept shooting. I looked at my daddy's face and I knew he was gone," she allegedly said – but her relatives revealed that she only began to open up after Lavigne's death because she was terrified he would kill her mom.
"My granddaughter was so relieved that he was dead that she was crying," said Leshikar's mother, Tammy Mabey.
Initially, Lavigne told police Leshikar had killed himself – but later, he said he couldn't have seen Leshikar's hands to see what he was holding, reported Connecting Vets.
A Defense Department memorandum noted that Lavigne wasn't credible but Leshikar's death was in the line of duty, while the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office described it as "justifiable homicide."
Leshikar's family has alleged evidence was tampered with and that Lavigne called another Delta Force Operator to come to the scene.
The friend allegedly took Leshikar's phone but he only returned it to his wife Laura days later and claimed he found it in her husband's car.
Leshikar's sister Nicole Rick said that Lavigne and Leshikar were best friends but would argue and would allegedly take cocaine.
At Fort Bragg, Leshikar worked a desk job after a traumatic brain injury, which happened after an improvised explosive device exploded near him.
He was addicted to Tramadol and self-medicated with Valium, his family said.
They had been to Disney World in Florida with their families between March 15 and 19, 2018 – but Lavigne said Leshikar acted strangely during the car ride back to Fayetteville, North Carolina.
He told cops his friend was "paranoid' they were being followed but his wife Laura said Leshikar appeared was acting normal.
Leshikar's body was riddled with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and neck inside Lavigne's house and four .45-caliber shell casing were found at the scene.
Lavigne said that he shot Leshikar who had come at him with a screwdriver, but the medical examiner's report and the memorandum revealed further inconsistencies.
"No screwdriver or any weapon was found near SFC Leshikar's body," the memo stated. "[Lavigne] never stated or implied that he moved the screwdriver or any weapon after shooting SFC Leshikar."
It said Leshikar was "acting in a menacing manner, but he could not see SFC's Leshikar's hands" after cops found the screwdriver outside by Leshikar's car.
Lavigne's career in special operations command continued after cops ruled the death justifiable and a 1st Special Forces Command investigation concluded that Leshikar died in the line of duty.
An Army Criminal Investigation Command probe also deemed the death justifiable.
No screwdriver or any weapon was found near SFC Leshikar's body.Defense Department memorandum
In February 2019, Lavigne allegedly harbored an escapee but his court date, and the charge, later disappeared from the records.
He enlisted in the Army in 2001 and was deployed multiple times to Afghanistan and Iraq before going on to graduate from the Special Forces Qualification Course in 2007.
He was then assigned to the 1st Special Forces and assigned to US Army Special Operations Command.
Earlier this month, Lavigne and Dumas' bodies were found in the training area of Fort Bragg. Dumas from Pinehurst, North Carolina, previously served at the base.
Sources told WRAL that one body was lying flat on the ground but the other other was wrapped in a blanket near a pickup truck and the Army Criminal Investigation Command is investigating.
The 172,000-acre Fort Bragg base is one of the world's largest military complexes with approximately 57,000 military personnel, 11,000 civilian employees and 23,000 family members.
A December autopsy report revealed that one paratrooper vanished during a camping trip on a NC island with his fellow soldiers in May was decapitated.
Most read in News
Staff Sgt Jason Lowe, 27, serving with the 82nd Airborne Division then became the the 82nd Airborne Division's 10th suicide so far this year.
Six division paratroopers took their own lives in 2018 and four did so in 2017.
Elsewhere, a Fort Hood probe saw 14 commanders kicked out after string of sexual assaults and 28 deaths at the Texas base – including Vanessa Guillén – which Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy promising "army-wide" changes.

Golf the sport of choice during the pandemic
A record number of players are hitting the greens so far this season. Golf course owner Harvey Ellsworth says he hasn't been this busy in nearly 10 years.
GLACE BAY, N.S. -- With a number of sports cancelled because of COVID-19 this summer, golf seems to be the game of choice.
Tee-times are harder to come by, as golf courses in Cape Breton see a spike in people hitting the greens.
A record number of players are hitting the greens so far this season. Golf course owner Harvey Ellsworth says he hasn't been this busy in nearly 10 years.
"Everybody is busy," Ellsworth said. "Lingan is maxed out time-wise, North Sydney. The only tee times we have is a few in the morning, and if you don't book in advance you are not getting on the course in the evening."
Golfer Donat Arsenault says it's been extremely difficult. He's only been out a handful of times this year.
"I heard of one individual who phoned 75 times," Arsenault said. "You have to phone as the pro shop is open and everything is available online. Within five minutes the times are gone for the day."
Arsenault says a combination of people having less work, more time, and golf being one of the few options has many swinging the clubs.
"There's a lot of people off work," Arsenault said. "Students and teachers, so golf has been one of the first sports that everyone is able to go out and do."
Ellsworth is hoping the trend will continue with first-time golfers getting a feel for the game.
"We have golfers that are ball players, lob ball players, and it has created work," Ellsworth said. "I have two additional people here just to clean carts."
Ellsworth says it's even a challenge to find time to water the grass, because golfers are on the course from sunup to sundown; but, he admits, it's a good problem to have.

Syria, a silent campaign is underway to arrest ISIS leaders
The SDF and Inherent Resolve have launched a silent campaign to arrest ISIS leaders in Eastern Syria. In a short time, at least three single "militants" of the Islamic State were captured in targeted operations of the special forces
A silent campaign by the SDF and Inherent Resolve is underway in Eastern Syria to capture ISIS leaders. The confirmation comes from the arrest in the past few hours of a jihadist of the Islamic State, which took place in Jdeid Akkadat in the eastern area of Deir Ezzor. Military uniforms and equipment were also seized in the operation. A special raid by the Kurdish Special Forces (HAT), who worked together with the Coalition commandos, was organized to catch him. Before him, on Friday, another "militia" Daesh had been tracked down in the same way and a similar episode occurred about two weeks ago. All, as stated in the official notes, "have been transferred to other places to be interrogated".
Raids against individual Daesh members recur between Deir Ezzor and Hasaka. Furthermore, the Kurdish forces do not provide information about who the captured terrorists are, simply saying that they are operations against the cells
Evidently, the Isis militants arrested lately are not low profile elements, but important ones. Otherwise, complex raids would never have been organized with numerous members of the HAT and Inherent Resolve special forces for just one man. Furthermore, the "unique" catches are not isolated incidents in the campaign against the Islamic State in eastern Syria. But they happen more and more frequently not only in Deir Ezzor but also in Hasaka, a sign that work is being done deliberately in this direction. This, not to mention that in none of the latest events have been provided information on who the terrorists are and what their role was inside Daesh, if not that these are offensives aimed at dismantling the IS cells.

Jul 7, 2021 How Janel Loi uses Twitter Hey there! Welcome to the 80 new thieves who are joining our little club. I hope you are reading this View online Alex Llull @AlexLlullTW Hey there!Welcome to the 80 new thieves who are joining our little club.I hope you are reading this from the beach or somewhere peaceful. Summer is here, so remember to get some rest too, will ya?Now let's get started!ESTIMATED READING TIME: 5 minutes The Research - Who are we stealing from? Who is our target? Our target this week is one of the hardest working people I've met on Twitter: Janel Loi. When Janel and I first met, we connected over the fact that we both live in Spain. We chatted about Twitter, newsletters, being creators, and Spanish food.Since then, I've been following her journey very closely. Her growth has been meteoric. But I'm getting ahead of myself. First, let's get to know her a little bit better.The Profile Janel is a maker, newsletter writer, and no-code expert. She lives in Barcelona, Spain. She works at @beondeck's No-Code Fellowship as a Program Manager, helping other makers make the most of the no-code industry. She created NewsletterOS (which you might have heard of), a no-code product that has now made over $30k in revenue. Then PodcastOS was born too, as a spin-off. She also writes the BrainPint newsletter, a curated newsletter with interesting reads, tools & learning resources sent out weekly. The NumbersAt the time of updating this (July 7th), she has 11,100 followers on Twitter. The operation - What are we stealing? We are stealing…The Strategy🧠 Follow your curiosity. Janel loves newsletters, so she basically started sharing her observations on that space on Twitter. That's how she started building a following.Talking about what you like attracts people who like the same stuff. Who would have thunk, huh?📖 Transparency earns trust. Build in public! I've always seen Janel share her tweet stats, sub count, lessons learned, her progress…even revenue numbers! Sharing this helps her connect on a deeper level with her audience. You see everything that's happening and how she's handling it, so you feel way more involved.That's the power of "Building in public".🔈 Promote yourself or no one else will. When Janel launched NewsletterOS, I saw her plugging the product under every tweet that made sense to do that. But she wasn't spammy about it! She did it because she believed the product was really valuable and that it would be helpful for people. That's how you promote something. If you don't do it, no one will.🔥 Empower and highlight others. One thing you can see if you check Janel's profile is that she's constantly sharing other people's products & projects. It lets her amplify small makers and, at the same time, it positions her as a trusted curator (see next point).In this sense, it reminds me a lot of Arvid Kahl, the Twitter empowerer. We are stealing…The content creation process🎁 Become a trusted curator. Serve others with your content. One of the bases of Janel's content strategy is sharing everything she comes across that might be useful for her audience. A useful tool? Shared A cool resource? Shared A great product? Shared She gives great recommendations, which earns her follower's trust, which increases Janel's affinity with them. Win-win.🥵 Don't try to do too much with your writing. Janel describes her writing as "functional and informational". She doesn't aim to make it "pretty or flowery". She gets to the point, and her readers (both on Twitter and BrainPint) are thankful for that.🗣 Share everything you learn with others, for free. Write threads, share your tool stack, share insights…anything! Help others not make the same mistakes you did."Life's too short for zero-sum games"When they grow, they will remember you as one of the people that helped them get there.I've asked Janel for advice a couple of times and she always came through. We are stealing…Her audience-building tactics🐦 Twitter is a networking tool. Use it as such. One thing I've seen Janel do is leveraging perfectly the connections and friendships made on Twitter. She got a job at OnDeck to work alongside KP, whom she knew from Twitter. She even helped me get a freelance gig!She's a true connector.😄 Become part of the communities you are in The relationships cultivated there will transfer easily to Twitter. This is Janel's playbook 👇 Janel @JanelSGM How to get value from the communities you're in:- Connect with people - Share your experiences- Build relationships- Find ways to give to others- Be curious & interested in what people are working on- Repeat 4:28 PM - 19 May 2021 The loot - What have we stolen and how can we use it? Key takeaways These are the three 🔑 takeaways I take home with me: Follow your curiosity. The answer to the ancient question "How do I find my niche? What do I tweet about?" is: whatever you want. What excites you? What do you read about? What content are you consuming? Use that to get started. Serve others with your content. Your content is not about you, it's about your audience. How it helps, entertains, or inspires them. Help them grow and you will grow too! Promote yourself. If you genuinely think that what you are promoting is valuable, then you are doing everyone else a favor by promoting it. The stash Here's everything I used to plan Janel's heist: Janel's website Twitter advanced search OnDeck tweet NewsletterOS launch tweet This Gumorad thread And this is it for now!I'm always looking for feedback on how to improve The Steal Club so if you have something to add or just want to say hi, reply to this email and I'll get back to you!See ya!Alex Llull Thief Master, The Steal Club——————————————————————————–If you are curious, this is roughly what it took me to put together the report → 5h The breakdown 👇 Research - 1,5h Writing / Drafting - 2h Editing - 1h Others (design, publishing…) - 0,5h Did you enjoy this issue?
