David and Victoria Beckham joined thousands across the country as they clapped for the NHS on Sunday evening.
The couple, who this week celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary, were joined by their four children, Brooklyn, 21, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and Harper, eight, as well as Brooklyn's girlfriend Nicola Peltz, 25.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Victoria posted a video of the touching moment as the whole clan gathered together to honour the NHS on its 72nd birthday today.
Brooklyn and David knelt at the front of the group as the family's two adorable dogs jumped up at them excitedly.
Harper stood behind them while Cruz, Romeo, Victoria and Nicola stood in the back row.
The family all had huge smiles on their faces as they clapped together.
Posh added several colourful love heart emojis on top of the video.
"Thank you NHS!" she captioned the post.
Victoria added the hashtags #NHSBirthday #ThankyouNHS.
Earlier in the day she'd also shared a video of Harper drawing a rainbow on a window to kickstart the celebrations.
David also shared a video of himself sending his thanks to NHS workers.
"I just want to say happy birthday NHS," David said.
"Thank you for everything that you do today and every day."

Hogan Transports Inc. will implement Transflo Express from Pegasus TransTech as of Dec. 1. Headquartered in St. Louis, Hogan Transports operates a fleet of 1,000 power units providing truckload service throughout the United States. The company also provides leasing and logistics services as well as dedicated and expedited transportation.
Ned Kriegshauser, director of credit and billing Services for Hogan, says he expects to see immediate savings by using Transflo Express truckstop scanning instead of moving paper documents through the mail. "The cost of having documents sent to you through the mail compared to having them scanned is a huge savings," says Kriegshauser, who also expects to see improved cash flow as a result of implementing Transflo Express.
With Transflo Express, drivers hand their delivery documents to a fuel desk attendant. In seconds, these documents are delivered electronically to headquarters for immediate billing and payroll processing. "We are pleased to have Hogan as a new customer who will join the thousands of carriers who are already utilizing Transflo Express at more than 800 locations in the U.S. and Canada," says Bob Helms, chief executive officer and chairman of Pegasus TransTech. "We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship."

Ask a new Question
How do you feel when a guy asks you to have sex?
So, a few weeks ago I was texting a girl. I kind of liked her. Idk if I would get in a relationship with her, but maybe a fwb. And even if not just friends would be totally cool. Anyway our texting would build up to me inviting her over to watch TV, then have sex or just see where the night would take us. She'd tell me that if she wasn't so busy getting ready to leave for college, she would have (she's 19, and this started on a Friday and she was set to leave on that Sunday).
So now fast forward 2 weeks, we're just friends, but one little thing that I said got her pissed off, lol it was complete bullshit, but she brought up how me wanting to have sex with her the 1st time we met made her feel like shit... I never thought of it that way, I always figured if a woman got asked to have sex, either shed feel wanted/appreciated, regardless of what she did after that. So, is it normal for a woman to feel like shit when a guy asks her to have sex?

Top AnswerOf course! What woman wouldn't be mad. The only thing you did right in this whole situation is not lead her on but listen to yourself. "Idk if I would have a relationship with her maybe fwb" your idea of a "date" is Netflix and chill and her being upset is "lol complete bullshit". You hurt her feelings you didn't think she was good enough to invite on a real date you didn't think she was good enough to be with you but you thought her vagina looked like an nice easy place to get to. And even now as her "friend" her feelings are bullshit to you. Some friend. How is that making someone feel wanted that would make anyone feel used and if that's how you pick up chicks I wouldn't be surprised if you're a virgin.
@Meg: Again , chill out. So if you read what I'd say you'd realize you just took half of what you wrote out of context, and again I still do not see why she would feel bad...and I would never call Netflix and chill a date, we had been talking for 4 months at work, joking and teasing with each other. Furthermore she would text me drunk, and she started the text during Friday and Saturday night.
Am I proud of what I did? Hell no, would I change it if I could? Of course, I'm not that kind if guy. Unfortunately I can't change what I did, so I can only move forward. I've already apologized to her, and tried to make up. That being said, I can Understand her being mad/angry, but why would she feel like shit?
@bruce777: And it's not that I'm trying to be rude or cruel. I'm on the Asperger (aka high-functioning autism [HFA] side of the spectrum, so I can't emotionally connect to people super easily. That being said, I may say or do things that seem extremely inflammatory and offensive, but I have no clue lol. It can realllllly suck sometimes. Thus, I enjoy learning about human behavior so I can watch for certain markers that note a change in emotions (the ones I have a hard time recognizing). So for me to ask why she'd feel bad, it'd basically be like me asking you on the subreddit: /r/explainlikeimfive because that's how it is with me and emotions haha. Like I said though, I didn't mean to upset her, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings, I just didn't know the lines that shouldn't be crossed or not.
I guess to be accurate, a lot of stuff that comes naturally to a lot of people in terms basic emotional knowledge and the only way I can learn it is either to read about it or to experience. So I try my best to read up on as much as I can, but you just can't know it all, plus there are times when I read something that's contrary to popular opinion, but who am I to tell if it's wrong or not lol.
So yea...my heart on my sleeve there...so to speak :P
@Anonymous: If I was you , I would continue to learn human behaviors and be very observant. Be very sensitive to your Asperger, but don't use it as an excuse or a crutch. Based off of your OP and your responses, I can tell you are fairly smart, so don't resort to diminishing yourself to just "someone with Asperger", but rise above it. I'm not trying to diminish your diagnosis, and I can't imagine the challenges you have faced, but I feel a lot of times people use their weaknesses as an excuse. Just try to see the situation from someone else's point of view.
@jhoefler9: Of course, and I didn't mean to use it as a crutch. I hate when people say things like that. All I meant was that, no matter how hard I try, circumstances will arise in which I'm caught completely off-guard and will most likely say/do something inflammatory. Thanks for the help though!
"So, is it normal for a woman to feel like shit when a guy asks her to have sex"
Depends on the guy and the girl in question. "Nice shoes, wanna F*%^?" apparently works on about 1 in 10 drunk women if you're a good looking guy.
If she's sober and not in a relationship with you though you need to learn to phrase it better. She might be feeling lust, but she doesn't want to think that her only worth to you (and by extension everyone else) is as a biological sex toy. If you had just invited her over to watch TV, you would likely have gotten farther with her than you did.
Women want (good) sex. They don't want to feel used or judged for it though because they can carry a lot of baggage around the topic. (Not to mention the additional consequences they can face in a new unknown partner.) As such the way you express your interest can and will affect her opinion of you.
That said, an 18 year old woman may react to an offer of sex dramatically differently than she would once she's a little more experienced. So kudos to you about being straight forward about it, but her reaction shouldn't come as a surprise either. It's all about context and your approach.
Let me spell it out for you. You asked for sex at your first meetup. 1. She thinks that all you are is interested in sex from her,which is not true. 2. You treated her like she would just have sex with anybody she meets, basically assuming that she is a w hore. 3. She thought you had more class and a higher opinion of her. She is disappointed.
Why waste a moment of your time with a woman you don't even identify as relationship-worthy in the 1st place? ('kind of' liked her, don't know if you'd get in a relationship, etc)
No need to answer, just food for thought...
@Hierophant: I get you, she texted me and things just took a course...I also happened to be dead tired and don't really remember much
"Anyway our texting would build up to me inviting her over to watch TV, then have sex or just see where the night would take us. "
How much texting was that exactly. Your texting her may have fed her ego enough that she didn't need to come over and get it stroked further...... if you know what I mean. Try to avoid these de facto cyber dates.
If you had been talking to her for four months at work, she had drunk texted you, and you had flirted and teased you, there is a good chance she may have liked you. At this point she thinks you only care about her for sex and she probably thinks that there is no chance at a relationship. She thinks you just wanted to use her. That's why she is upset.
This is an interesting question because I think LOTS of men seem to think that just asking a girl for sex is semi-normal, if that's all that they want themselves.
Women HATE IT when men do that. Are you going to get the occasional drunk/lower-intelligent/low-class woman who agrees to it? Yes. Maybe that is the reason men do it, because that small demographic sends a bad message.
But for the rest of us it is a hurtful insult to a woman that a man would not look upon her as more than a piece of ass. We are FOREVER waiting for a man who sees us as more than an assortment of body parts. We ABSOLUTELY want sex with a man, but one who is evolved enough to recognize that we are people with feelings who want to be respected and treated properly.
Thankfully not many guys ask me to have sex. :) But I will tell you what I know about women.
YES, it is normal for a woman to feel like shit when a guy asks her to have sex. Especially a guy like you. I'm a little concerned you don't seem to understand what might be necessary in order for a woman to want to have sex with you? And this line of yours is classic... "I always figured if a woman got asked to have sex, either she'd feel wanted/appreciated, regardless of what she did after that." Listen dude, I'm a man, and I find that offensive.
My advice would be to drive over to your parents' house right now (unless you still live there) sit them down and slap the shit out of both of them. Then tell them you are disappointed they molded you into a d-bag and ask them to help you unravel said dilemma so you can become a useful part of society one day. Don't get me wrong, the world is more interesting when assholes are calling some shots, but we don't need another man who devalues women and/or cares so little about them that he has to wonder if her being upset about an invitation for sex at first meeting was justified.
@bruce777: That's great but you still didn't answer my question. Plus sex can be just sex, I mean you'll probably contract feelings,but I don't understand why ithe is offensive. It's a Physiological function that drives 2 people to come together, it's not bad nor is it good. Lol you're putting morals and ethics into ithe, where in this context, they have no place or very little.
Furthermore I don't care that you insulted me repeatedly, but really? Lol grow up. Finally like I said above why would a girl feel bad about a guy asking her to have sex. The only case I can think of here is she really likes the guy and now she thinks he thinks that she will be his sex toy or whatnot. But that's again, context, and sometimes assumptions are false. Thanks for the answer though
@bruce777: Well, I must say, Bruce - that escalated pretty quickly. I think you need to slap yourself silly and then headbut the nearest wall. Then you apologize to your parents for disappointing them by suggesting someone beats his own. What, couldn't spell douche?
@Cynicus: That's odd, I don't recall saying anything to you... wait, are you one of those trolls who never posts anything useful? Just scours what others offer and piggybacks on their opinions either disagreeing or offering the occasional, but obvious "I couldn't have said it better myself feedback"? Gee, thanks for the contribution.
I spoke my opinion. Was I harsh? YES. I'm entitled to that in this forum and I think the guy is blatantly disrespectful to women and that so rubs me raw. I also think he's young and could benefit from the truth - even if it's a little abusive. Further, I read him as a guy who might only understand a similar demeanor so I unleashed on him. At least he replied to me with a position and an opinion and even a little humility and he wasn't nearly as offended as you. Oh yeah and I believe I can spell douche. Can you spell headbutt? Oops. Maybe you should stick with trolling.
Question: Is your screen name a tribute to the Scottish artist and publisher or the children's Transformer toy? This might help me understand you.
@Anonymous: "Finally like I said above why would a girl feel bad about a guy asking her to have sex. The only case I can think of here is she really likes the guy and now she thinks he thinks that she will be his sex toy or whatnot. "
Not just that, but many girls want more than just sex. There is nothing special at all about a guy wanting to have sex with a girl. Guys like that are a dime a dozen. If a guy brings up sex too early, without putting in any effort into making her feel special in some way, many girls will chalk him up as a guy who is after one thing, and one thing only. She will be turned off and it might make her feel cheap.
Many guys want it to be special too. While guys are more likely to accept sex when offered, if they get it easily and early on, a lot of them will not take a girl seriously, and they might ghost a girl, or continue to see others while having a sexual relationship with Miss Easy. They probably don't feel cheap about themselves, but they may view the girl as cheap, because the sex came without effort.
The bottom line is that guys risk offending a girl if they bring up sex too early and without putting in any effort to establish some kind of special bond first, just as its risky for girls to have sex too early too if they want more than something casual. Some people think that its old fashioned or unenlightened when others are not casual abut sex. Twenty-first century, or not, sex still means something to many people. People have many different attitudes about sex, and its not a matter of right and wrong, but you have to bear in mind that not everyone takes sex as casually or as seriously as you do. Assuming that everyone does is a mistake.
Hope this helps.
@bruce777: And I don't recall needing any more permission to address something I don't like than you do. I knew you'll hop on me agreeing with someone and you didn't disappoint. It's not difficult to check my contribution here - it's just a couple clicks away. You don't even have to think much, you just have to put some effort in it. The fact that you "read him" just like you're "reading" me is what rubbed me wrong. As you eventually found out - your guess was off anyways. That shiny armor you're wearing is all fine and dandy but I'll let you in on a little secret - women like sex as much as men do. The women I've met also ranged from ladies I've dated for months before "anything" happened to women who will grab your crotch once they've had a few drinks. Do you know what it is that she texts him when she has a few drinks? Neither do I, so I reserve judgement. And since you seem to have trouble understanding what made me write in the first place - most people do not get the advice on how to get laid from their parents. Most people also respect them enough to not suggest slapping the shit out of them. I'm one of those people. I couldn't care less if you insult me because I never met you and you're of no importance to me. Just leave family out of this, you can easily be a dick without having to bring them up.
To answer your last question - my nickname isn't a tribute to anything, it's an old screen name from back in my "younger" gaming days. I hope this information helps you "read" me better.Edited by the author

THE LOST SPELLS Comes to Watford Palace Theatre in 2023
The tour runs 28th March - 4th June 2023.
Adapted from a book that was 'written to be read aloud', The Lost Spells is a creative response to the climate crisis summoning back what is often lost, inspiring audiences to care for the natural world and reminding them of the names of flora and fauna that are fading from our awareness. A fun, wild and boisterous adventure full of paw-tapping music and dancing, played live on-stage by actor-musicians, the show is a riot of colour and a new Alice in Wonderland, celebrating the magic, power and wonder of nature that could be just outside your window. The book is a kindred spirit to the international bestseller and multi-award winning The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris
A girl with no name finds a magical book of spells that conjures up a wild world. Moths appear from nowhere; Owls light up the dark; a Red Fox leads the way down a rabbit hole to a brand-new wonderland. As she journeys through the wild world she learns the dandelion time, meets a boy who turns into a seal, flies with band of jackdaws and battles with conkers - on a quest to find that which was once lost.
Matt Borgatti, creative producer of Goblin Theatre said, "We're so excited to be bringing this magical book by Robert Macfarlane & Jackie Morris to life, in the form of a new musical. The words and illustrations have captured the imagination of a huge number of people, and working with an exciting creative team and co-producing venues, the show will be a totally unique experience full of fun, magic and incredible live music. It's all about a reconnection to the nature around us - be that in the city or the countryside, so that we can love and celebrate it, before it's lost forever. This feels especially timely to young people in the current climate."

BROOKLINE, Mass. – LIV Golf dominated the storylines earlier this week at the U.S. Open at The Country Club, the controversial Saudi Arabia-backed, Greg Norman-led rival league causing a stir. To the point that two-time U.S. champion and four-time major winner Brooks Koepka unloaded.
"I'm tired of the conversations. I'm tired of all this stuff," he said Tuesday. "Like I said, y'all are throwing a black cloud on the U.S. Open. I think that sucks. I actually do feel bad for (the USGA) for once because it's a sh—y situation."
Well, LIV Golf isn't going away.
So, on that note, let's keep the LIV Golf conversation going by looking at how the league's players in the U.S. Open field fared in Thursday's first round.
Yes, let's talk golf.
U.S. Open: Photos | Leaderboard | How to watch
The USGA said there wasn't enough time to reach a decision on whether or not to ban the players from the national championship, so 15 teed it up; commissioner Jay Monahan indefinitely suspended from the PGA Tour those players who played in the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series event last week in London and will continue to suspend any players who join the rival league.
And folks, there are some contenders – which would, of course, lead us back to stories such as those earlier in the week that touched on how the league will impact the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia's alleged human rights atrocities.
Coming in as the low LIV guy was Dustin Johnson, the 2016 U.S. Open champion who reportedly got $125 million to sign on with the new league. He shot 2-under-par 68, one shot better than James Piot, the 2021 U.S. Amateur champion.
Patrick Reed, Shaun Norris and Richard Bland each shot 70.
Bryson DeChambeau, the 2020 U.S. Open champion who reportedly received north of $150 million to join LIV Golf, shot 71.
Sam Horsfield came home with a 73.
At 74 were Sergio Garcia and Talor Gooch.
At 75 was Kevin Na.
At 76 were Jinichiro Kozuma and Branden Grace, who finished third last week in London in the LIV Golf's inaugural event.
The other scores were not pretty. Louis Oosthuizen shot 77 and Phil Mickelson, who reportedly got $200 million to sign on and went into seclusion because of derogatory comments about the PGA Tour and the Saudi government, shot 78 on his 52nd birthday.
And Jed Morgan limped home to an 82.

Cameras have been made in Japan since the early 20th Century, the first lens factory opened in 1907. The First World War brought on a rapid growth in the optical industry through a military hungry for optical products of all kinds.
The First World War brought on a rapid growth in the optical industry through a military hungry for optical products of all kinds.
In 1917, Nippon Kogaku Kogyo Kabushikigaisha (Japan Optical Industries Co. Ltd.) was founded to design and produce lenses for a wide variety of equipment and devices. It eventually slid into the manufacturing of cameras having supplied lenses to several camera manufacturers, including Canon, and in 1988 it finally changed its name to the name its cameras were known by: the Nikon Corporation.
My collection started with my first Japanese camera, the Miranda F. Now I have various cameras, mainly Nikons and Minoltas, the favourite makes of my late father.
1963 Miranda F
In 1964 this camera was widely praised in by a test report in the AP (Amateur Photographer) by Neville Maude, particularly the quality of the f1.9 50mm lens. After Miranda closed down Dixons bought the name and remaining stock.
According to camera-wiki "The 1963 Miranda F was the first of the "modernised lever winders", comprising the F/FM, G, and Fv. The models used the chassis of the previous DR (the last of the "lever winders" comprising the A, B, C, D/DR), and were designed to accept new lenses with an internal automatic diaphragm coupling. The camera body retained the previous series' front of body shutter release button used in conjunction with earlier PAD lenses. The F also introduced a new speed selector dial, which did not have a separated high and low speed selection, and didn't spin when the shutter was released. The F gained an optional screw-in, top-plate located shutter release button facility, via a cable release port".

A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, Kalu Agu, on Friday approached an Abuja Excessive Courtroom to hunt an order of perpetual injunction restraining the get together from continuing with the Ward congress scheduled for July 31, and subsequent native authorities, State, Zonal congresses and the Nationwide Conference of the get together.
Within the swimsuit marked CV/812/2021 dated July 29 and filed on Friday, the 2 defendants are the APC and Mai Mala Buni.
Within the courtroom course of seen by our correspondent, Agu can be praying the courtroom to declare that the APC is certain to uphold its structure, the 1999 Nigerian Structure, and the Electoral Act in administering the affairs of the get together.
He prayed to the courtroom to find out whether or not the get together can conduct a ward congress when there is no such thing as a elected Ward Government Committee of the get together.
Kalu additionally sought "an order of necessary injunction setting apart any resolution, act, steps, notifications taken or made out for the aim of holding any ward, Native Authorities, State, Zonal Congresses or Nationwide Conference of the 18 Defendant directed on the election of officers of the first Defendant at any stage of the political construction in Nigeria created by the Structure of the first Defendant."
He requested the courtroom to declare "that the Ward Congress mounted by the Defendants to carry on Saturday, the thirty first day of July, 2021, the next Native Authorities Congress, State Congress, Zonal Congress and Nationwide Conference for the needs of electing ward, Native Authorities, State, Zonal and Nationwide Government Committee Members of the primary Defendant are null and invalid arising from one or a mix of the above:
"(1) By the Structure of the first Defendant solely a Ward Government Committee can summon a Ward Congress and presently, the first Defendant has no Ward Government Committee in any of the Wards throughout Nigeria,
"(2) The first Defendant is presently being administered by an unelected USURPERS through which the 2nd Defendant is their henchman.
"(3) The 2nd Defendant is the Governor of Yobe State and by Part 183 of the 1999 Structure can't maintain an Government place along with the place of Government Chairman of every other physique."
A date is but to be mounted for the listening to of the swimsuit.

So here we are today, under the cruel clutches of a super power called COVID 19. Suddenly we scratch our heads and wonder what's happening in the world today. Now, humanity has a new common enemy… the virulent virus called Corona from China. We take a good look at this belligerent foe which comes in the form of miniscule droplets, vapors, and fumes. But the manifestations, if unattended can be fatal. In the meantime, before this thing blows over, we drop our heated family members feud, jettison our arguments about politics, sectarian and religious divides, geopolitical wranglings, country disputes in sovereign boundaries, war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Africa. For today, we face this mind-boggling Armageddon-like scourge that wraps around and constrict humanity's lifeline. We watch the horror unfolding before us now which has reached pandemic proportions with 5,800 fatalities from more than 153 countries.
Governments issue lockdowns and quarantine PUIs, cancel air, land and sea transports; call off high level world competition like the NCAA, NBA, PGA, World Boxing, possibly the Olympics, family tour destinations like Disneyland, Magic Mountain, the Holy Land, Lourdes, Fatima, cruise ships, etc. even religious and church assemblies, schools, public and private gatherings.
All nations have now unified against this common enemy. But lest we forget, we have to thank the people in the front lines of this major and crucial battle for humanity: the hospital employees, ambulance personnel, doctors, nurses, orderlies, medical providers, those who stand eyeball to eyeball with the enemy. They brace themselves boldly to shield us from the scourge while we do our thing and sleep soundly at night. There are hundreds of thousands of these infantries all over the world who in many cases, are even prevented from going home to their families for safety and health precautions. That's enough trauma for not hugging their new born infants and children to tuck them to sleep. We also salute the Chinese doctor-whistle blower who succumbed after treating his sick patient and the many who lost their lives fighting for us.
So today, in our heart of hearts, in the spirit of love and charity, let us thank and pray for these soldiers of humanity, the brave men and women's health and well being. God bless. (Atty. Niel Dalumpines)

New organic skin care brands at Watsons
Looks like we now have more options of organic and natural skin care products from Watsons. Besides Lavera, Trilogy, Renew and Sukin, I spotted products from Bod, Juice Organics and La Claree. The Yes To Cucumbers and Yes To Tomatoes range that I've been looking out for are also in stock now. And what's good to know is that the prices of these new products are all within the affordable range.
Bod from Australia
The Bod range from Australia includes face, body, bath, essential oil blends and soaps. A couple of products look interesting, in particular the Organic Moroccan Rose Face Oil and the White Tea Cleansing Gel. The prices are fairly reasonable; lower than the Trilogy range if I remember correctly. In addition, the brand is offering a Bod island-wide launch promotion with 10% off the prices currently. Definitely a good time to test some of the products if you're interested.
Juice Organics from USA
Juice Organics is a drugstore brand launched from Juice Beauty that meets both the 70% and higher USDA and COPA (California Organic Products Act) organic guidelines. The unique formulation include a 100% certified and patent pending organic juice base and some of its products contain powderful antioxidant technology, including alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, peptides, fat soluble vitaminc C and essential fatty acids. I have always wanted to try Juice Beauty but their prices are a tad high in my opinion. Juice Organics on the other hand is within reach, with prices starting from S$14.90. I might try out the cleanser which cost around S$23 later but first, I want to find out if the orange juice base is good for someone who is concerned with photosensitivity.
Yes To Cucumbers & Yes To Tomatoes range
Believe it or not, I've never bought one single item from the Yes To Carrot range except for the lip balm. Somehow the products within that range never appealed to me. However, the Yes To Cucumbers and Yes To Tomatoes range are a different story and I was very thrilled to see them available here and am already planning to get the facial cleansing gel or facial wash which are around S$15+ each. However, I still have a couple of Sukin facial wash to finish up before I can move on to new ones.
La Claree Oliv' from France
Besides these three range, there is also the La Claree Oliv' Organic Skin Care range which I've reviewed recently. I like the hand cream very much and the body cream is also growing on me. Their star product is the Radiance Elixir at S$54.90 and its key ingredients include 53% jojoba oil, 18% macadamia oil, 3% sunflower oil, 3% olive leaf extract, 0.5% evening primrose oil, 0.5% vitamin E, green tea, edelweiss and aloe vera, palmarosa, cedar and lemon essential oils.
So anyone has tried any of these new organic products from Watsons? Any feedback or any other new organic or natural skin care brands I might have left out?
Was very happy to see the Juice Organics, cos I like the packaging. haha. But I am also concerned about the orange juice. Very afraid that I will be sensitive towards it.
Yes To Carrots range doesn't appeal to me too. Tested their moisturizer, but didn't get the "shiok" feeling.
Awesome! Where can I find the Yes to Tomatoes range? I have someone going to SG over the weekend ?
I've seen these organic brands in Watsons too but didn't try a single one…I hope more ppl review ?
i saw these 3 organic brands while i was at watsons ion. bods and la claree attracted me but not yes to tomatoes and juice organics. i was reading the ingredients for juice beauty and it seems like the brightening range contain natural aha? yes to tomatoes and cucumber range ingredients made me hesitated on buying them =/
I don't like the smell of Yes To Carrots. Anyway, the products don't excite me.
I saw some reviews on Bod at Cozycot and sounds quite good.
I checked them briefly on the cleansers and seems okay – no ingredients I usually avoid. Not sure about others.
i luvvvv organic products! Especially the ones with cucumber and tomatoes. Works well for me.
Hmmm… Juice Organics(Brightening range): the cleanser and moisturiser contain Disodium EDTA which I'd avoid. Or maybe I'm too paranoid. As for Bod range, anyone has the list of ingredients for their products? I looked up their site and there was nothing about that.
Oh and uhm… Yours Essentially is closing down. Anyone knows a good local replacement for it?
I use stuff with Disodium EDTA sometimes…it's listed at 3 – moderately hazard under EWG. I don't have an issue with it so not too concerned. For BOD, if it's not on the website, then it's only on the products. I only checked some briefly…
An alternative is whoopeekiddies but their packaging isn't as great as YE.
hi all here are the ingredients list of bod cleansing gel..what u all think?are they safe?
white tea extract, sodium cocoyl sarcosinate (plant derived), xanthan gum,decyl glucoside (coconut derived), citric acid, oat protein extract, magnolia acuminate extract, , potassium sorbate (plant derived), tangerine, geranium,yucca schidigera extract ylang ylang essential oils, sodium hydroxyl-methyl-glycinate (wheat derived preservative.)
Hi Krya: Thanks for posting the ingredients. I'm not familiar with some of the ingredients but with they look generally fine to me…nothing suspicious to flag out. I also like the fact that they don't use photo sensitive ingredients. Tangerine perhaps but it's at the end so the content should not be worrisome.
sesame, do u mean photo sensitive ingredients are harmful to our skin?why is it so?pls enlighten me..hehe
Photo sensitive ingredients mean these ingredients cause our skin to become more sensitive to the sun. While we should always be wearing sunscreen, but these ingredients are better used in the evening skin care routine. Even in natural or organic products, the citrus oils and even lavender can cause such problems.
You might want to read my posts here:
If the ingredients are at the bottom of the list, then don't worry too much as the contents are probably little.
I'm a HUGE fan of the Juice Organics line! They recently updated their packaging and even have a pomegranate and hair care line now! I feel comfortable with their ingredients and supporting them as a transparent and honest smaller brand. I love Juice Organics!
That's good to know. I may try their Pomegranate line instead later – I like Pomegranate!
I would love to hear more about the "Yes to Cucumbers and Tomatoes" range. I create skin care and am highly sensitive to cucumbers on my skin. I'm interested to find out if there are any allergy problems from people. Who knows? They might be such great skin care products that we will incorporate the ingredients in future products!
Bod white tea cleansing gel is my favourite! It has a refreshing scent and it cleanses my face really well. I've been using it for a few weeks and I haven't had any break-outs from it.
Strangely, I couldn't find the Bod shelf at the Watsons I frequent recently. Thinking of trying their cleanser too.
I was just wondering where i purchase yes to tomatoes and yes to cucumbers range in Singapore? I found yes to carrots but looking i am looking for the other two. thanks if you could help me.
Hi, sesame!
Have you tried the Sukin range? I love their products' smell but they're all a bit rich for me, except the body lotion.
Yes, I have…it's okay. I classify it as a range that is really affordable but it offers just basic skin care.
Hi! Which Watsons outlets have most of the brands mentioned above?
Suggest you try Takashimaya's. That's the largest and carry most of the brands. But note that this is quite an old entry so some of the products may not be carried by Watsons anymore.

German agricultural machinery maker Horsch will invest R$200 million to build a new factory in Brazil, in the southern capital of Curitiba. The new plant will absorb Horsch's original production line in the country, in the same town, and is expected to be ready in 2022.
According to Rodrigo Duck, head of Horsch in Brazil, the planned investment will expand the company's production capacity in the country by five times, and the number of employees is expected to increase from 120 to around 400. But there are already plans for future enlargements of the plant.
With factories in Germany, United States, Russia and China, in addition to testing and technology development farms in Czech Republic, the multinational earned €473 million in 2020, 12% more than in 2019.
According to Mr. Duck, Brazil only accounts for 4% of Horsch's global sales, but the expectation is that the country will become the largest market in the coming years, in tandem with the importance of its agricultural production, one of the largest in the world.
Founded in 1984 by a family of German farmers who still manage the day-to-day operations, and present in Brazil since mid-2010s, the company specializes in equipment for soil preparation, sowing, planting and spraying, as well as digital solutions.
Horsch already markets its products in the main agricultural regions of Brazil – mainly in the Central-West and South – and in Paraguay. With the new factory, Mr. Duck says, the intention is also to expand into other South American countries. The company also plans to add new lines of machines and implements to its portfolio.

Tuesday 14th April 2009
Fittingly perhaps, given that I am writing a book about my unshakable immaturity, instead of working yesterday evening as planned I stayed up playing a version of
the genius Kevin Toms'
Football Manager
that I had discovered that was playable online (if you want to waste some of your precious life you can play it
. I was playing on my PC and can't find the link, but if you are cleverer than me you can download it from, for example,
This was my favourite computer game when I was a teenager, although I played it on the Acorn Electron computer, which I think was a slightly different version (I seem to remember the goals would come up as text, rather than the exciting stick man goal mouth scrambles that this version displayed). I remember buying it from Middlesbrough shopping centre, when I must have been about 15, (which makes sense as it came out in 1982) because I recall my mum was terrified that I would play it all the time and not do any revision for my upcoming O levels. I can still see her concerned face, just as I can still see the bearded face of Kevin Toms which stared out at me from the cassette box in which the game was enclosed.
Video games really were in their infancy back then and younger readers probably would not believe how long it took to load in the simplest of programmes - especially if you tried to copy them manually out of a book. But older readers will be familiar with the electronic fax-like sound like screeching (even more) out of tune, electro-bagpipes.
I played for hours on end (yet still did well in my O levels despite my mum's concerns), though the Acorn Electron finally gave up the ghost and died when Phil Fry was playing a game of Defender (which meant I could blame him for the breakage, even though it wasn't his fault at all).
The game was, as I discovered on playing again last night and then for too much of today, astonishingly simple. You tried to guide your club up from the 4th Division and to win the FA Cup, but merely had a squad of up to 16 players with skill level (that would randomly change between seasons) and energy levels and either defence, midfield or attack position. At the end of each game you got an opportunity to buy one extra player of the computer's choice and could sell your own if necessary. There was a very slight financial aspect where you had to balance the books and could, if required take out a loan. But that was it.
How it engrossed me so completely as a child is a bit of a mystery, but not quite as much of a mystery as how it managed to engross me completely yesterday and today. At least in 1982 this was a sophisticated and amazing programme and I was 15. But now in 2009, I am not only practically 42, but there are hundreds of much more complex and amazing football manager games available. I have often bought them and tried to play them, but have become annoyed by their intricacy and subtlety and by the amount of stuff you're supposed to do and the difficulty of actually winning anything.
With this original and groundbreaking game (that led the way to these flashy offspring) you merely have to balance skill versus fitness, resting a good player during an easier game and putting out your top squad for the bigger games, making sure you note your opponents strengths and weaknesses. My only advice to the would be player is to buy a player with skill of 1 right at the end of a season, as chances are they will randomly become a much better player the next season and you will have got them for a snip. Conversely don't buy a star player at the end of a season because chances are they will be shit within minutes. That is a slightly frustrating aspect of the game, if like me, you play for six seasons. You're building up a squad and then have to pretty much start again every new year. Kevin Toms is an idiot. Yes it's fun to be churlish and critical about a game that has brought me literally days of pleasure and which I have pined for for years (I have tried to download emulators and programmes in the past, but have never been able to make them work).
And it's amazing how much hypnotic pleasure this gave me, as on the second easiest level, in which I am guessing it would be almost impossible to lose, I led lowly York City to win the FA Cup in their first season (though I didn't manage promotion), then in successive seasons, in a grimly ironic parody of their real life progress (far from magically they look odds on to be relegated from the non-league division they are currently in) I then took them to the third, then the second (was knocked out of the FA Cup early in both these seasons), then to the first (where I won the Cup and the league title). I got a strange visceral thrill as York City beat Chelsea 3-0, something which I imagine will never happen in real life, even if the league continues for another million years.
I had planned to stop playing once I'd achieved this easy feat, but I decided just to see how the first few games of the next season went. And inevitably I ended up playing for the next two hours as I finished off the fixtures, again finishing top, but annoyingly losing 2-1 in the FA Cup final to an Arsenal team that on paper I was beating in every discipline.
Tempted to make up for this slight, I considered having one more go at it, but something sensible within me, a part of me that wants to actually get my book written, took the clever step of just closing down the webpage without saving my progress. My imaginary achievements, disappeared in a storm of electric dust (my understanding of how a computer works is perhaps not entirely accurate).
Of course it was all about the nostalgia, spending a total of maybe seven or eight hours stuck in front of a flickering and slow computer game, reliving the excitement of mainly winning and occasionally losing. It's still a brilliant game, but it was mainly about spending some time wrapped in the comfort of remembrance of things past.
Though I had managed to tear myself away by about 2pm, I spent the rest of the day with one of those computer game headaches that I haven't had for a while, that come from staying up too late and staring too intensely at the screen.
I could get nothing of my book on immaturity written, but you know, I suspect that what you've just read might well turn up in the finished work in some form or other.
It's a good life where failing to write is actually research for what you're writing. I have a ludicrous and tragic and wonderful life.

A man allegedly sent his mother to make a payment to a hitman in order to murder three of his alleged rape victims before they could testify, but the hitman was an undercover police trooper.
44-year-old Ferdinand Cuevas-Heredia was arrested for the murder-for-hire scheme and arraigned on Monday according to a statement Tuesday from Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
Cuevas-Heredia was previously accused of sexual assault by a woman and two girls and was awaiting trial for those charges. Prosecutors said he sought out a hitman and then arranged for his mother to pay him for the crime.
Shapiro indicated in his statement that the woman and the two girls were members of Cuevas-Heredia's family.
He was also charged in October 2021 with witness intimidation for allegedly offering the girls $20,000 to drop the sexual assault charges.
Court records claim that Cuevas-Heredia had his mother pay the supposed hitman $8,000.
Cuevas-Heredia was arrested and charged with two counts each of criminal use of a communications facility and criminal attempt to intimidate a witness or victim to withhold testimony.
He was also charged with three counts of criminal solicitation of criminal homicide.
After he was arraigned, Cuevas-Heredia told officials that his mother did not know she was intended to pay a hitman and that she believed she was hiring a private detective to help in his case.
"This defendant was determined to use any means necessary to avoid facing the consequences of his actions, going as far as to attempt to arrange for his own family members to be killed," said Shapiro in the statement.
"My office is committed to protecting all Pennsylvanians, including those who take the brave step of being a sworn witness in a court of law," he added.
Here's more about the heinous incident:

My name is Opal Gwenevieve Fawson.
I moved to Utah from Texas about 6 years ago. Shortly after moving here I met my now husband and fell in love with this beautiful landscape. We don't have any kids, but I'm not ashamed to admit we treat our 4 furkids like they're our children.
Not so long ago, yoga FINALLY found me in 2018. I knew right away that I wanted to become a certified yoga instructor, and in 2020 I did just that. Since then I have received my 200-Hour & 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Certifications here in the Utah valley by some of the most amazing teachers.
From August 2020-November 2021 I taught yoga at the Lotus Cafe Shop & Studio right here in Ogden, and in July 2021 I received a certification in Trauma Based Yoga.
That certification was a crucial pivoting point in my life that led me on the path that I'm on now.
In October 2021 I started teaching yoga twice a week at the Brighton Recovery Center here in Ogden and it has changed my entire perspective on my role as a teacher. It has shown me how deeply important yoga is, and sharing this valuable gift with the world is not something I take lightly.
In fact, I quit my full time job working as a store manager to pursue opening my own yoga business.
I am the owner of Opalescent Yogi LLC and am contracted to travel all over the valley to share my life's passion.
I lead my classes through a trauma-informed lens and put an emphasis on breath and mindfulness.
Yoga is not one size fits all. I am committed to providing a safe space and giving plenty of options so that bodies can feel empowered to participate.
I'm not perfect, but I promise to teach from my heart.
It's my life's work to help others find a practice that meets their body where it is. I want to help show this western culture that, yoga at its root, is a journey to the soul; connection of mind, body and the light within.

Delhi: Change in locations has worked for the Mumbai team. Though they have struggled with sluggish tracks at Chepauk, a slightly better pitch at Arun Jaitley stadium has helped MI register a win. Prior to this match, head to head record of MI vs RR stood at 12-12, showing that RR gave a tough competition to the defending champions. RR got to a good total as all the top-order batsmen contributed with some runs. RR posted 171 runs on the board, which MI chased with ease in 18.3 overs as de Kock (70*) and Krunal(39) starred for the Mumbai team.
Buttler starts well, but MI restrict RR in the death overs
MI Captain Rohit won the toss and opted to bowl first. This is the first match for MI where they are chasing in this season. Boult and Bumrah opened the bowling attack for MI and controlled the run flow during the first four overs. Though they couldn't get any early breakthroughs, but they conceded at less than 6 rpo. Introduction of change bowlers opened the flow of runs as Buttler shifted to top gear and hit boundaries at will. Jaiswal also had hit a few boundaries, including a pull shot off NCN that yielded him a sixer. MI's strike bowler this season, Chahar broke the vital partnership as he got Buttler stump-out and also accounted for Jaiswal in his next over.
Samson-Dube batted through the middle overs and scored at a reasonable rate. But MI pulled back the game after Boult and Bumrah were brought back for the death overs. RR could manage only 38 runs off the final 5. While Bumrah was economical with 1/15, Chahar played a key role by picking 2 crucial wickets at the expense of 33 runs.
De Kock ensures a comfortable chase for Mumbai
171 on this track is a par score. RR bowlers were bowling good line and lengths early in the innings, but slowly they were off track. Morris removed struggling Rohit for 14 runs in the last over of the PP. He also dismissed SKY in the 10th over of the innings when he was scoring boundaries at will. MI needed 80+ runs from the last 10 overs.
De Kock got to his fifty with a single off Unadkat in the 12th over. SKY's wicket and Ishan's absence opened the gates for the out-of-form middle order. But Krunal had other ideas. He took his time to get into the groove, but after settling in, he has hit a few hefty blows that brought RRR considerably down. Though Fizz bowled Krunal, it was only a matter of time before MI finished off the chase with Pollard and QDK at the crease. MI won the match with 9 balls to spare and by 7 wickets.

I came across this passage the other day which I wish to comment on. It is from D.T. Suzuki's book, Essays in Zen Buddhism. As the reader may soon learn, I plan to get wordy (but I promise I won't give Joshu's secret away).
"To cite another instance before going further into the subject proper. The same old Jôshu was asked another time, 'One light divides itself into hundreds of thousands of lights; may I ask where this one light originates?' This question like the last mentioned is one of the deepest and most baffling problem of philosophy. But the old master did not waste much time in answering the question, nor did he resort to any wordy discussion. He simply threw off one of his shoes without a remark. What did he mean by it?"
First let me say, that we encounter the enigmatic almost always in any treatment of Zen Buddhist literature. The reason why this happens is because for a Zen master like Joshu the radiant, animative power of Mind, that is the "light", is not hidden from him. He has come into communion with it it—which I hasten to add is also the Buddha. Joshu's light animates Joshu. Joshu knows this. This is Joshu's wisdom or sapience.
Any student who, after a long journey, comes to abbot Joshu's temple seeking the essence of Zen is pretty much clueless, otherwise why would he travel so far? He is not wise but is engaged, nevertheless, in seeking wisdom.
Let's now try to put our mind in Joshu's big Mind. When the student asks his question, Joshu fully understands the originary power of the light. But if the student is to receive the correct enlightening answer, he needs to be baptized by this light which obviously he isn't. So when Joshu gives the student the correct, enlightening answer, he misses it altogether.
The enlightening answer is, in fact, Joshu throwing off one of his shoes. To be sure, Joshu's act is illustrative of the light's power. But since the student is wholly identified with his temporal body he doesn't get Joshu's timely and correct answer to his question (and probably Suzuki didn't get it either). He draws a blank from seeing Joshu's unexpected antic.
Despite Joshu's own profound wisdom—even he couldn't get this dull fellow to see the obvious. And why? Because this student is, by desire, fixated on the animate, viz., the physical body and its representational mental system. The student believes that the body, itself, is capable of realizing what made Joshu throw his shoe. Or worse still, he believes he can capture it with a net of words.

O ye who believe! Take your precautions, and either go forth in parties or go forth all together.
There are certainly among you men who would tarry behind: If a misfortune befalls you, they say: "Allah did favour us in that we were not present among them."
But if good fortune comes to you from Allah, they would be sure to say – as if there had never been Ties of affection between you and them – "Oh! I wish I had been with them; a fine thing should I then have made of it!"
Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,- whether he is slain or gets victory – Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value).
In the first part of the verse: (O those who
believe, take your precautions …), appears the command to ensure the
supply of weapons, while the later part refers to the launching of
Jihad action. This tells us two things right away. Firstly, as already
clarified at several places, the act of getting together functional means
to achieve a good purpose is not contrary to tawakkul or trust in God.
Secondly, we see that the text limits itself to the command to ensure
the supply of weapons, but it does not promise that, because of this
support, Muslims will have any guaranteed security against their
enemies. By doing so, it has been indicated that the choice of using
means is for nothing but a certain peace of mind, otherwise, the use of
means as such does not carry any operational gain or loss. The Qur'an has said: (O Prophet) say: "Nothing will befall us
except what Allah has prescribed for us." (9:51)
Let us look at the first verse again. It opens up with the
command to get ready for Jihad followed by a description of the
marching plan; the later has been expressed in two sentences, that is, (… and march in groups, or march off all together.)
Here, the word, 'thubatin' is the plural form of 'thubatun' which means
a small group and is used to denote a military company and was called
a Sariyyah in the military campaigns of the Holy Prophet. In that
sense, it is being said here that Muslims, when they go out for Jihad,
should not start off all alone. They should, rather, set out in the formation of small groups. The other alternative is to march as a large army:
'jamian' because, in fighting, going alone is very likely to hurt — the
enemy is not going to let this opportunity slip out of their hands.
o doubt, this instruction has been given to Muslims for the particular occasion of Jihad, but, even in normal circumstances, this is what the Shari'ah teaches – do not travel alone. In a hadith, therefore, a lone
traveller is called one satan and two of them two satans and three of
them become a group or party. Similarly, there is another hadith
which says:
'The best companions are four and the best military company
is that of four hundred and the best army is that of four thousand.' (From Mishkat as reported by Al-Tabarani)
Seen outwardly, the words of the verse 72 seem to
suggest that this too is addressed to the believers, although the characteristics described later on cannot be taken to be those of the believers. Therefore, al-Qurtubi says that they signify hypocrites.
Since, they were the ones who used to claim being Muslims, at least
outwardly. This is why they have been identified as a group from
among the believers.

"I would say (China will be the No. 1 market) in the next couple of years — hopefully one year," Volvo Car China chairman Freeman Shen told the Reuters news agency from the Detroit auto show.
Last week, Volvo announced that global sales grew by 11.2 percent in 2010, due in part to a 36.2 percent increase in sales in the Chinese market.
However, overall sales in Volvo's home market of Sweden remained about twice as high as sales in China.
With Geely CEO Li Shufu taking over as Volvo's chairman in July and Geely's takeover of the Swedish brand from US-based Ford Motor Company in August, China is seen as an increasingly important part of Volvo's future success.
"We are looking at a strategy of making China a second home market. Today we mainly only have one home market, in Sweden," Shen told Reuters.
Speaking in December, Volvo Cars CEO Stefan Jacoby said Volvo will soon announce plans regarding the opening of its first plant in China, adding that he expected Volvo cars to start rolling off the assembly line in China within two years.

Sometimes the world is moving so fast you just want to hop off. I am tempted after hearing that the Olympics will no longer require men to have the one thing that has always pretty much determined whether you are a man or a woman.
The International Olympic Committee adopted new guidelines on Sunday that allow transgender athletes to compete without undergoing sex reassignment surgery.
In practical terms, that means the winner of the women's shot put at this summer's Rio de Janeiro Olympics could have a ….
Forgive me. I'm as uncomfortable dealing the specifics as you might be reading them. Which I'm afraid means we might need more sensitivity training.
I don't know about you, but I strive to be tolerant, enlightened and avoid being considered a knuckle-dragging moron. But I have to admit, the IOC's move feels like a bridge too far.
"It is an adaptation to a human rights issue," IOC medical commission chairman Arne Ljungqvist told the Associated Press. "This is an important matter. It's a trend of being more flexible and liberal."
But is it at the expense of being fair to all competitors?
Under the old guidelines, athletes who transitioned were required to undergo two years of hormone therapy and sexual reassignment surgery.
Now the male-to-female athletes will have to keep their testosterone levels below 10 nanomols per liter for only one year prior to competing.
I have no idea what a nanomol is. But medical data conflicts on precisely how long it takes to negate the testosterone advantages males are born with.
And no hormone therapy is going to alter a person's height. So conceivably Shaquille O'Neal could identify as a female, get her testosterone count under 10 nanomols and make a comeback with the 2016 U.S. women's basketball team.
Such things come with society's Identity Revolution. Gender, race and sex are increasingly seen as a personal choices, not something assigned in the womb.
For its first decade, Facebook had users identify as male or female. Now there are dozens of categories ranging from Agender to Pangender to Cisgender to Two Spirit. All of which proves South Park was truly ahead of its time.
In 2005's season premiere, Gerald Broflovski went to the doctor and said he identified as a dolphin. He underwent a "dolphinoplasty" and went home sporting a dorsal fin. Now "trans-species" is an accepted psychological condition.
I'm sorry, but a human who believes they're a Korean cat is still nuts in my book. But I firmly believe that transgender issues can be real and devastating.
The IOC should accommodate people like Chris Mosier, a world-class triathlete who transitioned from female to male in 2010. He hasn't undergone reassignment surgery, but it's hard to see why a doctor must attach a you-know-what in order for Mosier to compete.
By the same token, I don't see how simply having a penis would be a competitive advantage for women. (Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd write.)
It's muscle mass and testosterone that matter, not the equipment between the legs. I accept that on an intellectual level. So why is it so hard to accept on an emotional one?
I think back to the original Olympics. Athletes competed in the nude, so the ancient Greeks saved a ton of money on nanomol testing.
For eons, men were men and women were women. If there was any question, the answer was easy enough to find.
Now nothing is simple. All I know to do is beg the enlightened crowd to show the tolerance they so often demand of others.
I want to join you. I really do.
It's just that when the world increasingly looks like a South Park episode, it can be hard not to sound like knuckle-dragging moron.

Phat Diem Cathedral
Phat Diem Cathedral
The cathedral is about 45 minutes by bike from Tam Coc. Most of the ride is scenic and it is definitely a great tour to take by yourself. The cathedral is well maintained and built by a Vietnamese deacon. If you like to see the church from the inside you can ask one of the nones in the convent if she has time to let you in. The none who made time for me new a lot about the history of the church and its construction.

After a decade of working and investigating in the power storage space market, in the summer season of 2019, Wondar Law & James Ray fulfilled in Walnut, California, and set out with a vision of producing a minimalist mobile power station that would seamlessly incorporate into everyone's life. The EB150 and also EB240, Bluetti's first items, released on Amazon.com In July 2019 and have been well received ever since.
One year later, we released our flagship version AC200 on Indiegogo as a crowdfunding project as well as pulled virtually 7 million bucks in two months. At the same time, after bouncing around from Los Angeles to Denver, we are ultimately settled in Las vega, Nevada, where we're headquartered currently Bluetti 99 Watt.
Bluetti developed out an entire line up of solar power storage products for adventurers and all kinds of off-grid lives. In the process, some core worths that unify the entire Bluetti area have actually defined everything they do. Bluetti worth resourcefulness, seeking experience, and living totally free at all we want.
Bluetti believe that the personal power storage space products are the 21st century equivalent of swords: tools that every person can wield and obtain Energy Freedom with. Consequently, Bluetti build items to guarantee that your power exists whenever and also any place you require it.
Portable Power Stations
No Gas, No Fumes & No Sound. A means cleaner, more secure as well as quieter option to gasoline backup generators Bluetti solar generators blaze a trail.
Perfect to use at home, in a campervan, or on a camping journey. Bluetti power stations could run a lot of your essential outdoor appliances as well as electronics such as cellphones, electronic cameras, Bluetooth speakers, mini fridges freezer, radios, projectors and more. What's even more, Bluetti solar generators are also a best residence back-up power or supply system for emergency situations. Couple up with a Bluetti photovoltaic panel for the ultimate off-grid system.
Solar Panels
Bluetti solar panels can be folded up and also strapped for simple bring as well as utilize. The objective of a solar panel is to turn as much sunlight into clean energy as possible, and Bluetti's panels have a 23% performance. That's one of the greatest in the sector.
Integrating Bluetti solar panels with any kind of Bluetti rechargeable portable power plant creates a solar generator system. Solar power is stored in the terminal's lithium battery to keep all your gear charged. A Bluetti Solar Generator is outstanding for off-grid power as well as an emergency back-up source of power.
NA300 sodium-ion generator: The future generation of power storage
Starting an additional year at CES in Las Vegas, Bluetti announced the NA300 as not only one of its brand-new products, but a globe's initial as a sodium-ion solar generator.
This first-generation sodium-ion batteries are competitive to the LiFePO4 battery cells presently present in various other Bluetti products in regards to lengthy cycle life besides reduced energy thickness. However, sodium-ion wins in regards to cost, low-temperature performance, and charging speeds.
Along with its B480 suitable battery packs, the NA300 includes just the same design as well as setups as its EP500 precursor, but with an improvement on its 2,400 W solar input to 3,000 W.
While its 3,000 Wh ability is less than the 5,100 Wh in the EP500, it does sustain up to two B480 battery components (4,800 Wh each) for an enormous 12,600 Wh complete capacity. This permits the NA300 sustain a constant supply of electrical power requires for an entire family for a number of days permitting charging by the solar panels.
Bluetti AC500: The pinnacle has arrived
After 2 years of development and much hype from followers of Bluetti, the AC500 has actually finally made its debut as a brand-new product at CES. Nicknamed "The APEX" the AC500 represents the peak in power with its 5,000 W pure sine wave inverter– the blog post effective delivered by Bluetti to date.
Comparable to its AC300 predecessor, the AC500 is a 100% modular solar battery system, compatible with its very own B301 battery modules, which provide 3072Wh per LFP pack. Additionally like the AC300, the AC500 is backwards compatible with Bluetti's B300 battery module.
This powerful inverter on the AC500 sustains significant specs on both input as well as outcome of the tool. For instance, while billing air conditioning as well as PV (solar) simultaneously, the overall input can achieve approximately 8000W, indicating one solitary hour of charging can power an ac unit for 5-8 hrs, or a clothes dryer home appliance for 1-2 hrs.
"5,000 watts originated from air conditioner charging, providing stable as well as trustworthy back-up power to AC500 proprietors in a wide variety of emergencies. The 3,000 W of 3000W PV (solar) charging offer a welcomed component of sustainability to the AC500 that is extra pleasant to the environment. In addition, one hour of PV billing can power an electrical saw for 2-4 hours or an expert computer system for 4-6 hours."
Along with the 5,000 W power outcome, two AC500's can be paired to provide a huge 240V, 10,000 W result power system (Split-phase bonding, home circuit integration by Bluetti Smart House Panel).
EB3A Power Station: A little however mighty new Bluetti product
The 3rd as well as final new product introduced by Bluetti is without a doubt the smallest, yet that doesn't mean it lacks power.
Previous models of Bluetti's small power plant line followed a constant identifying pattern like the previous EB55. The EB3A however, breaks the mold as the "A" in its classification represents its "advanced" modern technology.
For example, the EB3A's 600W pure sine wave inverter and 288Wh of LiFePO4 battery pack supply big power in a little footprint. With the additional capability to support as much as 200 watts of solar input, the EB3A will certainly show up as a sleeper contender to other competitors in the entry-level power station segment.
Proceeding its trend of small and also straightforward style, the new EB3A is the very first Bluetti item in the sub-3,000 Wh range that no more requires the bulky power brick on its cord to charge. In fact, a single wire can charge the EB3A at a price of 600W, replenishing from 0-80% in just 20 minutes.
If you currently have other mobile power plant, the EB3A can serve you equally as well as lightweight small power on the move while your various other terminals recharge at your home base. Check it out for yourself.
What kind are the occasions of mobile power storage?
The Bluetti mobile power storage spaces, can be used in any indoor as well as outside use, such as:
- Residence back-up
- Festivals/BBQ/Party
- Clinical devices like CPAP
- Exterior adventure/travel/camping/ tailgating/van life
- Disaster alleviation like hurricane/flood/wild fire/ earthquake power breakout
- Event production/filmmaking/photography/ drone …
With the mobile power plant in hand, there is no reason to be left at night if you unexpectedly lose power.
What types of gadgets can your power station charge?
The power station can charge all type of gadgets such as CPAP, Laptop, Phone, tablet, led lamp, drone, cars and truck mini fridge, Gopro, AUDIO SPEAKER, television screen, Video camera, and so on.
The length of time can the power station run my gadget?
