How to find and highlight a specific occurance of a symbol?
Rumi Balkhi
How to find and highlight a specific occurance of a symbol in a large text file.
Need to find the 6th occurance of =========== and highlight it.
Scott Sumner
What have you tried and how isn't it working? It might be instructive to see your thought processes in finding a solution…
Rumi Balkhi
I tried to find using following code
But its manual and it highlights all =========
I want only specific occurance. It could be the 6th or 60th or even 100th.
I have something that might work. It does require that you have the cursor at the very start of the file however (so file must be open in notepad++). Once the search has found the text, if you hit the search again it will carry on to the next multiple of the number you want, so 60th, then 120th etc.
The regex needs the 'newline' ticked as well.
Expression is
Maybe someone could expand on this, alter it to fit better.
So if you want the 6th occurrence, use 5 in the regex (where you see 5. If 60th then use 59. It might not work it there are any sequences of 2 lines together with "=" in them. If there are not 11 "=", then change the number in the regex to suit.
Terry R is heading in the direction I was going, but he posted first. I would slightly tweak his regex (which works) to get this:
The tweaks:
- Use
(?s)at the start to avoid having the "newline" box be a dependency
- Remove some unnecessary group-capturing parentheses
- Add
.*at the end to prevent matching every multiple-of-six groupings (it will highlight/mark from the sixth grouping of
=thru the end-of-file…maybe this is undesirable but I think in a large file it would make it easier to find where the highlighting/marking begins!)
Note that the OP said he wanted to highlight the match, so I take this to mean using the Mark tab of the Find window for this.
Terry R said:
It might not work it there are any sequences of 2 lines together with "=" in them
It WILL work in such a case!
Here's an explanation of the regex:
- Use these options for the whole regular expression
- Match the regular expression below
- Match any single character
- Keep the text matched so far out of the overall regex match
- Match the character string "===========" literally
- Match any single character
Created with RegexBuddy
- Use
Thanks Scott for those tweaks.
I have a question about why the
\Adidn't work in this instance. Had it done so, then it would ALWAYS start at the start of the file, and even if run multiple times it would still select only the
nthoccurrence. As well, your
.*at the end of the regex wouldn't then be required.
I do continue to forget the
(?i)at the start, often using the tick boxes over this approach. Of course using these allows for a standard approach to the regex (not having to change tick boxes for every expression) and allowing each regex to stand on it's own.
I hadn't tested the occurrence of 2 consecutive lines of '='s hence my disclaimer, that was only added into the reply as I was typing it (my testing wasn't exhaustive).
(The day you stop learning is the day you die!)
Hi, @rumi-balkhi, @scott-sumner, @terry-r, and All,
Terry, The
\Afeature is broken in the N++ implementation of the Boost Regex library. For an alternate regex engine, see the last part the the updated FAQ topic, below :
However, I found a very simple way to prevent from matching, every 6 times the
===========line !
Just add a specific expression at the very beginning of the file, that does not exist elsewhere, in current file. Then, Scott, we just add, first, that expression in your regex :-)) For instance :
I added the
###mark on top of the Rumi's text
And I used the modified regex
Voilà !
Best Regards,
@guy038 said:
I added the ### mark on top of the Rumi's text
Well…sure, but when one answers a regex question here, one sort of assumes that changing the OP's source text to solve a problem is not allowed. :-)
Of course, doing that when solving a problem that requires "table-building"…well, then…maybe in that case we bend the rules, eh? :-D
I think I may have found another regex (building on what we already have) that will; (no matter where in the file the cursor is); ALWAYS select the nth occurence. I used some other string check that I'd provided some weeks ago to someone who originally stated the
\Adidn't work for them. My latest rendition is:
So the
(?<!\x0A)^should (hopefully) look for the occurence of a line starting position where there aren't any line feed/carriage returns immediately before (actually I only test for the line feed portion). So far my tests have shown it ALWAYS selects only the 6th occurrence (in the example) and even with a second click does not change position. With putting the cursor in various positions within the file it still correctly locates the 6th position.
This negates the need to be careful where the cursor is in the file before looking for the nth occurrence and also the need to include the additional
.*at the end to grab the rest of the content, thus preventing a double click going to the nth * 2 occurrence.
Since the
\Aseems very problematic I've now added
(?<!\x0A)^to my arsenal!
Nice one…hopefully a downside to this is NOT found. I'm not "with" Notepad++ or RegexBuddy right now, but maybe this also works?:
(?<!\R)^Maybe not, though as lookbehinds must be of constant length and
\Rcould be of length 1 (in the case of
\n) or length 2 (for
\r\n)…would be nice if it did though because I think it is nicer on the eyes than
\x0A. :-)
@guy038, I think there's a(nother) regex sheriff in town, and his name is @Terry-R…
Sorry, not a sheriff, maybe a deputy.
I'm quite enjoying helping out (where I can) although i do need to curb my enthusiasm somewhat. And thanks to you
Scott Summerand
@guy038for your support.
And yes, Scott i agree the \R or \r\n would probably look better, I just haven't tested that yet. As my dad always said, measure twice, cut once. So i need to test, refine, test again before presenting!
Hello @terry-r, @scott-sumner, @rumi-balkhi and All,
Very clever deduction, Terry. If we generalize to any kind of EOL characters, it gives
Note that I added the
\fsyntax ( Control character Form Feed,
012decimal ) because, given, for instance, the text
abcdefghij, with the Form Feed char, between the strings abcde et fghij, the regex
(?-s)^.would also match the
fletter avec the FF char. !
So, to be short, the regex
(?<!\n|\r|\f)^seems a very nice word-around to emulate the bugged
\Afeature of the N++ regex engine :-))
I used the verb seems and not the verb is because, unfortunately, there are still some problems with that syntax :-((
Let's work on that sample text, below, that you will copy on a new tab :
Notepad++ v7.5.8 bug-fixes: This is a simple text 12345><67890 to test the \A feature
Note : For all the tests, below, the options
Regular expressionand
Wrap aroundare ticked !
- First problem :
Let's suppose that your cursor is located between the
<characters, on the
5thline. Using the regex
(?<!\n|\r|\f)^(?-s).( which should stand for
\A(?-s).), it does find the letter
Nof Notepad++, on top of the text and any other click on the
Find Nextbutton does not find anything else. Nice !.
Now place the cursor at beginning of the
5thline, right before the
1digit, without any selection and re-run the
(?<!\n|\r|\f)^(?-s).regex. This time, the first click on the Find Next button wrongly match the
1digit. The second click finds the letter
Nas expected, and any subsequent clicks do nothing.
- Second problem :
Let apply the new regex
(?<!\n|\r|\f)^(?-s).*\R.*( which should be a work-around of
\A(?-s).*\R.*) against our sample text. The result is just identical to what I described in the point, just above. That is to say :
If cursor was between the
<characters, it matches all contents of the
1stline, with its EOL chars and all contents of the
2ndline, without its EOL chars
If cursor was at beginning of the
5thline , then :
After a first click, it matches all contents of the
5thline, with its EOL chars + all contents of the
6thline, without its EOL chars
After a second click, it matches all contents of the
1stline, with its EOL chars + all contents of the
2ndline, without its EOL chars
Now, let's slightly change the regex, adding an
\Rsyntax, at the end of the regex, which becomes :
Now, even if we place the cursor between the
<characters, any click on the Find Next button will match, successively, two consecutive lines ( The
1stand the
2nd, then, the
3rdand the
4thone,… and so on :-((
Just because the end of this regex matches a
\ncharacter !
Anyway, Terry, don't be sad ! Logically, your
(?<!\n|\r|\f)^regex should work as a work-around of the
\Asyntax. It's simply because our present regex engine does not handle backward assertions, properly, too ! I didn't test it, yet, but I suppose the your regex should work in some regex testers, on Web :-))
And I agree, with Scott : You, certainly, are a "regex sheriff" !
So after some thinking about this, I've decided that I don't think the
\Asyntax is broken in Notepad++, and I don't think that lookbehind assertions (either positive or negative) are broken in Notepad++ either. One just has to fully understand how Notepad++ searching works. And @guy038, in your post just above, where you talk about a "first problem" and a "second problem" and beyond…I have NO problem with how Notepad++ works in these cases, given my new thinking!
Every Notepad++ search has a "starting-point" when the user initiates a search, or that Notepad++ itself initiates after a successful match in the case where one of the "find all" searches (or a Find in Files) is conducted. Each starting-point has exactly NOTHING before it. YOU may SEE data before your caret when you initiate a Find Next, but Notepad++ doesn't. And that, IMO, isn't necessarily a broken search feature, it is just "the way it works". To Notepad++, each starting-point appears the same as a start-of-file does–no data (aka NOTHING) comes before it.
At the beginning of your regex, an
\Aassertion or ANY valid negative lookbehind assertion will match the NOTHING right at a starting-point (i.e., that part of the regex will always succeed). Note that a negative lookbehind assertion doesn't match the real data to the left of your caret, it matches the NOTHING. Example: Have
12345678(only) in your buffer and your caret between the
4and the
5. Do a regex search for
(?<!4)5and see that it matches the 5. The
(?<!4)in this case allows the match because NOTHING is not
4. Some would call this regex behavior "broken"…because YOU the user can see the darned
4right there!
While a search is "in-progress" on a buffer, however, no one would call negative lookbehind assertions broken. Example: Use the same buffer as before but have your caret between the
1and the
2. Do a regex search for
(?<!4)5and see that there is no match. In this case there is a
4before the
5(the search is "underway" at this point and Notepad++ is looking at the buffer…and this time the
4is a part of that buffer) so the assertion fails the overall match.
Side note: With "Wrap around" ticked during a search, if no match is found between the current caret point and the end-of-file, a second (internal) search is done by Notepad++, with a starting-point at the start-of-file. This is an additional opportunity for a match to happen at a "starting point". For more info on the "2nd search", see here…quite far into that thread… Although that thead discusses replacement, find a part of replacement, so it works the same way.
So that brings us back to the regex under discussion:
It will work like an "unbroken"
\Ain most cases. A possible problem with it comes when doing "multiple" searches with it (or when the user-starting-point isn't the start-of-file). In those cases, if the previous action with it leaves the next starting-point at the start of any line, the next search will match right there – not only at start-of-file – which may not be what the user desires. (Again, it will match that case because the
(?<!\r|\n)part will match the NOTHING and the
^will hit).
The best way to use it as an
\A-equivalent is to have the end of your regex not leave the next starting-point at any start-of-line.
So let's go back to Terry's original regex (or very close to it):
When run on the OP's sample data (duplicated a few times so that there are many more than 9 lines of
===========data) this will find exactly ONE match when a "find all" is done. That is because the end of the regex sets up the follow-on starting-point to NOT be able to match a start-of-line (needed by the
Changing the regex slightly at the end:
This one will result in multiple matches using a "find all" in the OP's (extended) data, for reasons which should now be apparent. Thus it is worth pointing out in such a case that the
(?<!\r|\n)^regex is NOT what one normally thinks
\Ashould be doing. So while it can be a
\Asubstitute, it still has to be used with some amount of caution, and of course, understanding. :-)
Back to
\A: You can be the judge of whether or not it is broken: The Boost documentation for
\Asays "Matches at the start of a buffer only" – does one consider the "buffer" to be the entirety of the Notepad++ editor tab data, or the starting-point(s) through a later point for a search? Your call. :-)
And now onto
\G. In this thread , there are 3 conditions specified for where the
\Gassertion can match. I believe there is only ONE place it can match; hint: the "starting-point" of a search. :-)
This post is deleted!

Nithya Mehrotra, Director of Housekeeping, Rose Rayhaan by Rotana, says, "It is increasingly getting difficult and expensive to dispose of waste. As per studies, on an average, a hotel guest generates about 1 kg of waste per night - more than half of it in paper, plastic and cardboard.
In addition to a negative environmental impact, such as landfill capacity diminishing, the cost of waste disposal also becomes more expensive." Landfilling not only takes up valuable land space but also causes air, water and soil pollution, discharging carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane into the atmosphere and chemicals and pesticides into the earth and groundwater. In addition, waste often has to travel long distances to the landfill site, consuming fuel and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
Nithya Mehrotra's tips to manage waste
1. With hotel policies stating that half used toilet rolls should be replace, it is convenient to transfer them to employee washrooms for full usag
2. In the office, recycle file folders and use both sides of paper when copying
3. Plan, from the beginning, for disposal of furniture and mattresses
4. Waste reduction targets should be set each year and monitored on a monthly basis with regard to the achieved targets.
5. Regular waste audits should be conducted by the hotel's EHS manager.
Amal Alhaq, Executive Housekeeper, Mövenpick Resorts & Spa Dead Sea, Jordan, adds, "Most hotels around the world are conserving natural resources by reducing, reusing and recycling the many different products used in housekeeping. We have also begun eliminating toxic cleaning chemicals from housekeeping operations and find that non-toxic alternatives often get the job done in a cheaper, safer and as effective manner. Most importantly, we've discovered that guests respond positively to these environment-friendly initiatives."
Amal Alhaq's tips to manage waste:
1. Re-use recycled printing paper and reduce printing orders
2. Save energy by turning off the lights, air-conditioning and heating when out of a room
3. Use recycle bin stations to reduce and separate rubbish such as bottles, plastic, paper and others.
The top sources of waste in hotel housekeeping include used soap, old linen, towels, blankets, pillows, chemicals and grey water. Shamal Raj, Executive Housekeeper, Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre, says, "As Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre is attached to the City Centre Deira mall, the largest amount of waste comes from packaging materials like shopping bags, cartons, styrofoam, wrappers, etc. Close behind are plastics bottles, glass bottles, aluminum cans etc. All of these are left behind by the guests. Additionally, the bottles of amenities that we place in the rooms are also an integral part of the waste generation.
Shamal Raj's tips to manage waste
1. Educate and empower the team to manage waste at source
2. Collect data on how it is managed - segregation weights, sizes, etc.
3. Follow up on the data and understand the trends
4. Encourage guests to reduce waste generation
5. Create innovative solutions for guest use, like reusable shopping bags with hotel branding, which could help in education and consequently reduce waste with a strong brand impact.
Methods to manage waste
At the Mövenpick Resorts & Spa Dead Sea, Jordan, different practices are carried out to manage waste. For instance, bed linen is changed every second day and, of course, by placing an 'environment protection' tent card in all guest rooms to clarify that this exercise is to reduce laundry consumption of water and detergents in order to minimise the hotel's carbon footprint. Guests are requested to return their towels/robes on the rack to be used again. Also, to give back to the community, the basic necessity of sanitation and healthcare, the hotel recently implemented a waste management programme, Mövenpick's SHINE initiatives and a sustainable campaign called 'Soap for Hope' in cooperation with Diversey and Tkiyet Um Ali.
This programme has already been launched in all Mövenpick properties in Jordan, with which the housekeeping department collects discarded soaps to undergo a recycling process. The soaps will be cut into smaller chunks, soap cubes will be sanitised to soften, and soap mixtures will be pressed into bricks and dried. New soap bars will then be delivered and donated to the poorest of households in the local community. Doing all of this has resulted in another positive audit conducted in the property in August 2017, giving the property its 7th annual Green Globe Hotel re-certification.
At Rose Rayhaan by Rotana, each waste item is tackled at the source. For instance, the hotel uses mineral water packaged in polythene bags instead of carton boxes. The minibar glass jars are collected and handed over to the supplier for recycling. Recycle bins are placed in every service corridor. All chemicals used are ecofriendly certified and procured from reputed suppliers. In the washroom and other areas, auto-cut towel dispensers are used instead of pull-down towels. Old linen, uniforms and towels are discarded, and the items are given to local charities. Newspaper preferences are checked with the guest upon check-in and only distributed on request.
As part of its Planet 21 programme at AccorHotels Group, multiple projects have been put in place to control and monitor waste management. As part of this program, waste is segregated at source and segregation bins are placed on each floor; attendants are trained and monitored on how to separate plastic, aluminum, paper, cartons and glass from the floors itself. Then this is measured and monthly reports are generated to give a graphical representation of where the hotel is heading in terms of waste management. All the segregated waste is then sent for recycling and general waste to the landfill.
Additionally, even though it is not completely housekeeping related, food waste is another major contribution to the general waste that is collected. Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre implemented the winnow system, which helped the kitchen team measure and optimize food waste generated from every outlet. This assisted in menu engineering & planning and helped save 15,000 plates of food in 2017, which translates to around 64 tonnes of carbon emissions saved.
Staff training in waste management
The staff at all three hotels undergo rigorous training workshops in waste management – this includes the housekeeping team and management. This includes workshops to embrace the measures already implemented at the hotel and all other general aspects of environmental protection and waste collecting, segregation, storage, safety and checking of threats while handling waste and recycling, etc. At Rose Rayhaan by Rotana, teams are educated through communication boards as well.
At Pullman, 98 per cent of the hotel staff are trained in waste management practices and constantly encouraged to actively participate in waste segregation through regular awareness programmes. Raj says, "Having all these practices in place, we have diverted 95 tonnes of waste from going in to landfills, thereby earning a considerable amount of money as rebate." "As a motivational tool, hotels, if possible, can allocate the rebate amount for colleague welfare," he suggests.
The challenges involved
Raj says, "On a global level, reduction at source is, in my opinion, the best way to reduce waste. This needs a conscious effort from organizations and governments to educate and implement procedures to ensure there is nothing left to waste. Plastic packaging is another serious threat and challenge. For instance, bathroom amenities are mostly packed in single-use plastic containers for hygiene purposes. But, the side effect of that waste generation. There are several solutions like refillable dispensers, glass containers etc. There should be a balance in this tug of war between hygiene, guest satisfaction and certain regulations. An effective solution to this soon could make a huge difference to waste generation." Alhaq says that the main challenge is to raise awareness amongst resort guests and the community. It is important to include customers and guests in the environmental protection measures by leaving sustainability questionnaires, through which they can share their ideas and suggestions.
A lot of the onus of waste management from the source also comes from cleaning & hygiene solutions providers. Housekeepers feel that they should offer cost-effective cleaning and waste management solutions. The idea is to reduce waste, not to increase the cost. Raj says, "Have alternatives to plastic packaging, considering hygiene factors and government regulations. In my home country, I have seen suppliers taking back their packaging material, to recycle and reuse themselves. This could be one effective solution for many items."
Manufacturers should also optimize machines and dispensers to the maximum possible without affecting customer satisfaction. For example, the hand tissue dispenser can be optimized to have a medium size tissue dispensed every time the sensor operates and also there should be an automatic delay for the next tissue. Such changes will positively affect human behaviour, which is to normally take more than one tissue every time they are in a washroom, which is not needed at all. Manufacturers and suppliers should tap into a waste management mentality themselves.
Waste management is a very serious issue; and the current industrial revolution doesn't help its growth. While the entire industry is aware of the impact of waste generation, there is still a long way to go. Awareness needs to be increased and hotels are on the fastrack to educate and involve guests and suppliers in this process. However, the faster it is done, the better it will be for future generations.

A group of researchers in North Carolina State University have developed an electronic interface that they can use to remotely control cockroaches. To make things just a little more bizarre, they're using Microsoft's Kinect motion sensor to help make it possible.
After a digitally plotted path is created for the roach, the system uses the Kinect to track the insect's progress. The Kinect then sends that tracking data to a program that will automatically steer the roach to follow the path. So yes, it's a Kinect-controlled cockroach on autopilot. You can see it in action for yourself below:
So are these guys basically mad scientists? Apparently not, it turns out they have a very good reason for all this. Dr. Alper Bozkurt, who is an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at NCSU and co-author of a paper on the work, says that they want to eventually be able to use the roaches to explore and aid in disaster sites:
"We want to build on this program, incorporating mapping and radio frequency techniques that will allow us to use a small group of cockroaches to explore and map disaster sites. The autopilot program would control the roaches, sending them on the most efficient routes to provide rescuers with a comprehensive view of the situation."
He adds that they might also be able to add small speakers to the insects, so rescuers can communicate with people that are trapped. Bozkurt's team was previously responsible for the technology that allows users to steer roaches remotely, and this new Kinect-powered autopilot program is their latest work.
Their paper, which is titled "Kinect-based System for Automated Control of Terrestrial Insect Biobots," will be presented at an engineering conference in Japan early next month.
What do you think of the autopilot cockroaches that might eventually help save lives? Let us know in the comments!

A dental porcelain veneer is a thin layer of a translucent ceramic material placed over the surface of a tooth to improve the appearance of the tooth, or to repair a damaged surface. With porcelain veneers, Dr. Gioffre can restore your smile and provide you with a beautiful smile that can not be obtained with any other method.
Porcelain veneers for a natural looking smile
Porcelain veneers are the most attractive and natural looking material for creating a more beautiful smile. They require a minimal amount of tooth reduction (approximately 0.5 mm – 1 mm) and are, therefore, a more conservative restoration than a crown. Veneers allow us to alter tooth position, shape, size and color. They are not the only alternative for esthetic abnormalities, but are truly a remarkable restoration.
Porcelain veneers are the best choice
- When your teeth need improvement in alignment (straightening) especially if there are issues of color (not bright or white enough).
- If your teeth are not heavily filled, especially if the existing fillings are small and most of the tooth's enamel is still present.
- When you feel orthodontic correction of tooth alignment does not fit your life style.
Deciding how your teeth with new veneers should look
At First State Dental each patient is unique as are their personal goals for an attractive healthy smile and dental needs. We recommend the least complicated solution to help patients reach their personal smile goals which they express at their initial consultation.
We work with each patient to understand what they do not like about their smile. Do they wish their teeth were longer, shorter, or are the teeth already the length they like but the individual tooth sizes don't have balance or there are unsightly spaces between teeth? Is the smile broad enough to fill the space between the lip corners and the fronts of the back teeth? These are just a few reasons why someone may choose porcelain veneers to enhance the attractiveness of their smile.
If there is any question as to whether porcelain veneers can solve the problem smile, we can create a model mock up or temporarily bond tooth colored resin to your teeth to insure we understand your esthetic desires before proceeding with treatment.
Porcelain veneer cost
The cost of porcelain veneers is very patient specific. The ceramic veneer is only part of the expense. The number of teeth and any required supporting dental work need to be considered. Dr. Gioffre will provide you with a cost estimate after examining your teeth.

Marine Waives Military Hearing Over Firearms Allegations
A Marine stationed in Hawaii has waived a military hearing scheduled for this week for allegations he tried to enter an Air Force base while off-duty and heavily armed in his home state of Nebraska.
Pfc. Ali Al-kazahg, 22, is in custody in Hawaii on allegations that he tried to enter Offutt Air Force Base with two semi-automatic rifles, a pistol, a silencer, a bump stock, a vest with body armor and a case of ammunition while on leave. His arrest came a week after he was listed on a law enforcement alert for making threats, The Omaha World-Herald reported.
A preliminary military court hearing at Marine Corps Base Hawaii was scheduled for Wednesday, where a hearing officer was expected to recommend whether charges including carrying a concealed weapon, possessing modified firearms, making threats and fraudulent enlistment should go to court-martial.
On Monday, Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Eric Abrams said Al-kazahg opted to waive the hearing. A recommendation will be made without a hearing.
Al-Kazahg was visiting Nebraska, where he grew up, when guards stopped his pickup May 31 at an Offutt gate after seeing his name on a law enforcement "be on the lookout" bulletin.
The World-Herald, which obtained the bulletin, reported Al-Kazahg was listed because he told another Marine he would "shoot up the battalion, starting at the barracks," if he were disciplined for certain misconduct. He also mentioned specific Marines he wanted to target, the newspaper reported.
The bulletin said Al-kazahg didn't make any threats against anyone in Nebraska.
Al-kazahg's sister believes he had "zero intentions" of hurting anyone and said he had most of his belongings, including his guns, in his truck because he'd been staying with friends.
Nedhal Al-kazahy told The Associated Press from Lincoln, Nebraska, that her brother went to Offutt to work out at a gym there.
She believes her brother, the son of Iraqi refugees, was targeted because of his race. She said other Marines have called him Muslim, even though he's Christian, and thrown bacon on his bed.
The siblings' last names are spelled differently because of a birth certificate mix-up, she said.
The Marine Corps denied that the charges were racially motived and said it doesn't tolerate racism or bullying.
"We expect all Marines to act in a professional manner to maintain an atmosphere of dignity and respect and ensure an environment free from discrimination, harassment and assault," Marine spokesman Capt. Eric Abrams said.
Trevor Reilly, a former Marine who befriended Al-kazahg at a Nebraska recruiting station, told the AP that Al-kazahg "spouted off and got belligerent" before he went on leave, after a Marine taunted and provoked him. But he said "at no point" did Al-kazahg suggest he was considering any kind of violence.
Al-kazahg is assigned to Combat Logistics Battalion 3, 3rd Marine Logistics Group.

Good news, dieters! The kilo is losing weight, changing all of science, but unfortunately we don't know why
Deep below Paris, in a vault that can only be opened by the simultaneous turning of three keys held by three different people, is the international prototype kilogram -- the kilo against which all other kilos are based. The kilo is the last SI unit that is still defined by a physical artifact, rather than a constant of nature, but four of the seven SI units are fundamentally underpinned by the kilogram, making the international prototype extremely important... And yet worryingly, the international prototype is losing weight, changing science as we know it, and no one knows why.

This Easy No Cook Pizza Sauce is so delicious and very easy…a little tart and a little sweet…super thick and spreadable! You may have all the ingredients in your pantry or fridge. I love fresh garlic and fresh basil but I don't always have them on hand. Once I found these tubes of garlic and basil, I always keep them in my fridge for those times when I don't happen to have fresh. They are fantastic…almost as good as fresh! They also have tubes of ginger and lemongrass. I find them with the packages of fresh herbs in the refrigerator section of the produce department at my local grocery store.
Once you get your ingredients together, there's not much to it after that…just add all of the ingredients into a bowl and stir until well combined. Use approximately 1/2 cup of sauce for each 12-13 inch pizza.
This Easy No Cook Pizza Sauce recipe makes enough for 3 pizzas. I put what is left in a small plastic container and freeze it until it's time to make pizza again! Check out this Chicago Thin and Crispy Pizza Crust recipe…it's a cinch to make as well, and so delicious.
Easy No Cook Pizza Sauce
- 1 16 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 6 ounce can of tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste or 1 garlic clove grated
- 2 teaspoon basil paste or fresh basil chopped
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Use approximately ½ cup for each 12-13 inch pizza. This recipe makes enough for 3 pizzas.

Back in December, Science of Us, alongside seemingly every other outlet that covers psychology science, reported that "A 20-Minute Chat With a Gay Person Made People Much More Supportive of Gay Marriage." It sounds like an overblown headline, but the study in question, published in the top journal Science and co-authored by Michael LaCour, a grad student at UCLA, and Donald Green, a professor at Columbia, backed it up: Researchers found that when canvassers were sent out to engage with California voters on the question of gay marriage, they were able to substantially sway the voters' opinions toward support for gay marriage, and the effect lasted for (at least) nine months and was contagious within the household. These big effects only took hold, however, when the canvasser him- or herself was gay and revealed that during the conversation; straight canvassers had far less luck.
This was a striking finding for a number of reasons: Most studies that attempt to measure approaches to swaying people on hot-button political issues do so in contrived lab settings, and when they find "successful" approaches, the effect sizes tend to be marginal. Here was a real-world study that showed a shockingly effective approach. There's a reason it got coverage in the New York Times and a segment on "This American Life."
But everyone was fooled. The data were faked, says Retraction Watch. There was a quick (by academic standards) and brutal snowball effect here: The site reports that two grad students at UC-Berkeley who were hoping to extend the original findings, David Broockman and Joshua Kalla, noticed certain data irregularities. The duo then tried to get in touch with the survey firm LaCour and Green used for their study, but the firm "claimed they had no familiarity with the project and that they had never had an employee with the name of the staffer we were asking for," they write on a timeline of the events that they've posted here. Eventually, Green told the grad students "that LaCour has been confronted and has confessed to falsely describing at least some of the details of the data collection." Green subsequently asked Science to retract the paper. LaCour was slated to start as a professor at Princeton in July, but Retraction Watch notes that a mention of him has already been scrubbed from the university's website.
We're going to have to wait for more details to find out how LaCour was able to fool so many people, but this is going to go down as a major academic scandal. Part of the problem is that it fit rather neatly into other research on persuasion and political psychology: Psychologists and political scientists have known forever that simply giving people facts about an issue won't usually persuade them, that different, more personal and emotionally compelling approaches are better. The California canvassing seemed to be exactly this sort of approach — there are heartbreaking scenes from the "This American Life" segment, in which a reporter tagged along with canvassers, of just how intimate these conversations were.
The scandal certainly casts a different light on what Andrew Gelman, a statistician at Columbia, wrote about the results back when the study was released:
A difference of 0.8 on a five-point scale … wow! You rarely see this sort of thing. Just do the math. On a 1-5 scale, the maximum theoretically possible change would be 4. But, considering that lots of people are already at "4" or "5" on the scale, it's hard to imagine an average change of more than 2. And that would be massive. So we're talking about a causal effect that's a full 40% of what is pretty much the maximum change imaginable. Wow, indeed. And, judging by the small standard errors (again, see the graphs above), these effects are real, not obtained by capitalizing on chance or the statistical significance filter or anything like that.
And this got me wondering, how could this happen? After all, it's hard to change people's opinions, even if you try really hard. And then these canvassers were getting such amazing results, just by telling a personal story?
Wow, indeed.

The situation would even worsen down only when it's your only instrument and it is your living kitchen table. Whether it is perfect for motorcycle, home, organization property, car, automobiles or these asset, they are typical valuable and special with their owners. Many instances, the owners miss out on protecting their instruments thinking it as a costly affair. But here is after they go wrong and miss out about insuring the musical assets and that is actually important. To stop the instrument from breaking off, insurance will be the right coverage option you are able to go for. There are also homeowner's insurance bundles which issue the policy about the same day while promising insurance for the asset.

This week, we want to welcome you to a very different format for Seat Yourself.
Given the very difficult and uncertain times everyone in our industry is going through, it really didn't seem appropriate at this time to continue on with our standard format for our weekly podcast.
So, beginning with this week's episode of Seat Yourself, we are starting a mini-series that we're titling "On The Frontlines"
In our new On The Frontlines series, we'll be speaking with people from all corners of our audience and with people who are, indeed, on the frontlines of the foodservice and hospitality industry. And, like all of us, they're fighting for survival.
Our intention in these conversations with these frontline warriors will be to get their views of what's happening in their particular region but also we want to learn what are they doing to fight their way through this current situation for themselves, their teams and perhaps, most especially – their customers.
Along with ideas for keeping their own teams together and remaining positive, we'll also be sharing what ideas they have for helping others. After all, we are ALL in this together.
That's the greatness of the hospitality industry. Now, more than ever, we are standing together.
Our first On The Frontlines conversation is with Bunny Johnson.
Bunny is a top manufacturer's representative who, along with her teammates at her company Hospitality Dining Solutions is on the frontlines in the Washington DC/Virginia/Maryland area of the United States.

The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis in Sarawak has a vernacular name pronounced as 'Bunga Raya' in Malay ( see inset) . Why is this plant so prominent in Malaysia? A short walk back in time will bring us to 1960 , just three years after the release of Malaya from the colonial regime of the British.
The newly elected Prime Minister ( Tunku Abdul Rahman) declared on 28 July 1960 the Bunga Raya as the national flower. Of course, as history would have it the states of Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya formed the new federation of Malaysia on the 16th of September, 1963 and thereby continued to accept the Bunga Raya as the national flower of Malaysia.
The species that was accepted as the national flower is the scarlet or red variety that is commonly seen in rural villages throughout Malaysia. That factor has been one of the many deciding ones that made it the preferred choice. Besides, according the the selection panel, red suggests bravery. Not bad colour for a young nation. Further, it is a very hardy plant that requires minimum attention or care. Unless of course you decide to plant the many new hibiscus hybrids that may look more appealing in modern and varying colours and sizes but alas are easy prey to insects and other pests. When in secondary schooling (1967-1968) I always remember how my biology teacher so often bring it to class. It was such a typical local plant and being easy to obtain ended up as the main target for the dissection table. But before cutting them to pieces our curiosity was drawn to its external reproductive parts. The Bunga Raya showed it all - calyx, sepal, petal, style, stigma, stamen,anther and pollen in plain sight.
Today I decided to do a water colour rendition of the Bunga Raya as shown above. The painting was done in less than an hour. To all Malaysians- let's celebrate today's Jubilee Year of the Bunga Raya by planting a Bunga Raya in our garden. Have a hibiscus ? I do.

After reading our previous blog below about Louis Vuitton's lack of success we thought it would be interesting to look at another parody case with a very different outcome. This case was between Tiffany and Costco.
Costco had used the term "Tiffany" on signage for diamond engagement rings that were not made by Tiffany. Costco's claim that "Tiffany" is a generic term for a kind of ring was rejected. Judge Swain in the District Court found that Costco had infringed Tiffany's trademark by selling the rings and that consumers would have been confused by the use of the wording. Swain remarked that "despite Costco's arguments to the contrary, the court finds that based on the evidence, no rational finder of fact could conclude that Costco acted in good faith in adopting the Tiffany mark."
Tiffany depends heavily on its reputation and the recognition that comes with its notable brand. Cosco is known for selling known brands at a discount, so it could be easy to see how some customers may assume that they had found a great bargain. One couple testified that they had believed that they were getting a genuine tiffany ring and were devastated to learn that the engagement ring was not a Tiffany piece. The couple only discovered that the ring was not authentic when the ring's stone fell out.
Cosco agreed to remove all signage and sent letters to the known purchases to let them know that they could return the jewellery for a refund if they felt they had been misled.

In 5 years there will be at least 50 billion machines on the Internet and only a minority of them are going to be operated directly by men. Most of those devices interact with its surroundings making the physical environment smart and sensitive to change. The environment that our stuff resides in is what I like to call the Thingyverse.
The "Internet of Things" is just a part of this because in this it is all relevant and connected on a global scale. Try to see it from the user perspective. They perceive their surroundings and what it can do, the internet and the communication options are extended surroundings which gives the idea of having those people and devices close. This is the same with controlling your thermostat or airconditioning remotely. This is not the Internet controlling it, but bringing the control button to your phone. Like calling somebody on the phone and feeling this person close.
In the whole debate covering the Internet of Things most of it is deeply centralized. But the end-user has no clue about it, they do not care about Big Data or about protocols to make their devices in house interact. They care about what happens in their Thingyverse which holds their stuff and the functions they do for them. And this environment is becoming more and more digital.
Only a handful cases work at the moment and they are very direct and strict using 'extended' functions. Basically that is technology that is in most top level luxury cars, now made available for the home. Just watch an old episode of Knight Rider and see that all technology shown is already possible. This is the level of connectivity we could envision without even knowing about a global Internet and a social revolution online.
So what factors can the digitalisation of the Thingyverse bring into the game:
- location : the bubble of stuff becomes bigger in the same manner as it became bigger with the phone and email
- replication : it starts with configuration and goes on when 3D printing evolves
- sharing : limited resources will make sharing a need
- management : manage and connect these things without having a day job controlling it
The user has her stuff in his Thingyverse connected via what she sees, feels and hears extended by services on the Internet of Things. Defining a successful strategy for these services always involve getting the full picture and not only the world through the eyes of the Internet (or should I say glasses).
The biggest difference between a Thing and an online service.
Let's first talk about what Things we are talking about and why these things have to be on the Internet. In the end it is just a matter of economics and Moore's Law. Computing power gets cheaper and faster in an exponential rate so computers that were the size of your desk 10 years ago, are now matched by your mobile phone. Simple computing electronics and sensors are already miniaturised that they can be placed anywhere as part of a sticker, including a battery to power it for almost 2 years. So envision these smart patches being smarter than your mobile phone in 5 years having batteries that keep on going for a decade.
Let me give an example of what the change will be. You can buy a webcam for your house that allows you to control it remotely and you can even put some intelligence in it by adding an infra-red sensor that activates the camera. Imagine you add some intelligence to that camera and it recognises everybody in the house and looks up unknown people. You never have to enable this again since it is always active. The camera can also detect your physical fitness by detecting changes in colours in your face. Since intelligence is available locally there is no need to send all the data online, it just needs to connect to you to communicate the outcome.
This is one of the biggest changes in computing where we have centralized computing in the cloud, and where in the world of smart things it becomes a distributed environment again. And this is validated through the just released specifications of HomeKit and Android Home where they focus on distribution rather than putting everything in one cloud.
So that covers the interaction between users and their Things, how about the rest?
As stated earlier, only a minority of things are operated by humans. When a car interacts with the highway for optimal and autonomous driving it is unattended. The smart grid asks your home devices to reduce the energy load for 5% for the next 5 minutes in order to handle higher grid loads. Or the public transport system slowing down some trains and busses for several minutes to make sure that travelling people get to it. This kind of interaction is ubiquitous and will have the most impact on the world. One thing they have in common is that they are not personalized but they are covering the majority of cases.
This is where the Big Data systems come in and where direct communication is needed. Companies managing and delivering these services will be the next generation telecom providers. They are evolving from Telco to Thingco.

Giving too much information to the IRS can often cause more harm than good. We often speak with Taxpayers who just want to speak with the IRS one last time before retaining us to see whether they can work out a deal. After they cannot get a favorable or manageable negotiation they then come to us for help. Every IRS employee is trained to elicit as much information from you as possible. This works to your disadvantage.
One of the benefits of retaining a Tax Attorney is such that we handle all IRS communications; and all of our discussions are covered under attorney-client privilege. If you were to hire a CPA or EA to represent you, there is no privilege. This means that any information they know about or that you share with them is open to IRS discovery.
If you find yourself in a precarious position which may lead a potential criminal tax matter, there is a substantial benefit to hiring a Tax Attorney. In fact, we are often retained by clients whose tax liabilities have emerged into criminal proceedings. From there, a CPA or EA is of little help to you.

The upgrade of sports facilities at the Lusaka International Community School in Lusaka has recently been completed.
Yunipat Distributors Zambia – distributors for Fibertex geotextiles and Van Dyck Carpet's Easi-Grass artificial grass – was appointed as project managers for this contract. Scope of operations involved the preparation of ground works, construction of the concrete footing and installation of a drainage system and artificial turf.
"These new sports grounds enable children to be able to play soccer and hockey on a stable and safe surface all year round," says Patrizio Urzi, managing director, Yunipat Distributors Zambia. "A critical part of the project involved the design and installation of the drainage system, which maximises the high flow of water, enabling immediate use of the pitch during and after heavy rains. The drainage system enhances integrity of the structure, significantly extending its service life.
"Construction involved a durable herringbone drainage pipe system, with Fibertex separation/filtration geotextile layers to prevent any potential water-logging on the pitch and clogging of the drainage system."
A Fibertex F34 geotextile nonwoven separation layer was installed onto the base to stabilise the surface. A herringbone system of DN160 Drainex perforated subsoil drainage pipes was installed over the geotextile and covered with 25 mm stone aggregate and ≤ 5 mm fine crusher run to prepare for the top and final layer. These materials allow alluvial water to drain through the stone medium, into the drainpipes and away from the sports area.
Fibertex geotextiles have important functions in separation, filtration, drainage, protection, reinforcement and stress relieving in construction and building works. These permeable materials are placed between different layers of the structure to prevent migration and mingling of materials, allowing free movement of water, while preserving the integrity of the adjacent layers. This increases bearing capacity and provides long-term stability of the foundation layers.
Fibertex geotextiles are suitable for all filtration and drainage systems, including drainage pipes, drainage trenches, surface drains and building drains.
Easi-Grass, a high-quality artificial turf, with durability and enhanced aesthetics, was selected as an alternative to natural grass for this project. Advantages of this maintenance-free grass include water and energy savings, as well as suitability for use in all weather conditions. Unlike natural grass which needs time to dry after a downpour, sporting events can continue in the rain, with no risk of damage to the playing surface.
Specialists from Yunipat Distributors, Fibertex and Van Dyck Carpets, collaborated on this project to ensure its success.
Yunipat Distributors Zambia, which has completed similar astro installations at many sporting facilities in Zambia, specialises in the supply and support of a wide range of products for the construction and mining sectors. The company also services the DIY and commercial markets in Zambia.

- Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Honey Laundering. There was an interesting article on the radio program Life On Earth this week highlighting this eight-part investigative report by Andrew Schneider. Basically, Schneider discovered that imported honey — about 2/3 of the honey consumed in the US — is quite likely to be "trans-shipped" to avoid tariffs. A huge percentage of the imported honey comes from China, but because of the tariff issue it's labeled "Australia" or "Korea". And honey from China has traditionally had the same sorts of quality concerns we've seen with other food products from there. Since there is no legal definition of honey it's pretty much impossible for the USDA or the FDA to inspect honey to determine if it's even real. Apparently there are all sorts of additives in honey, such as illegal antibiotics and inexpensive corn syrup. And don't expect that "Organic" honey is any better. Since bees fly all over to get their pollen, the honey is totally dependent on what sort of plants they visit. If the plants aren't organic, neither is the honey.

I am interested in starting a free form strategy/roleplaying game. Frankly, I'm tired of waiting for someone to make one. I plan to have players create their own country, what relative state it is in, what problems it faces and what advantages it has. Additionally, I'd like players to create the culture and histories of their own country. Finally, players will develop the leaders and significant persons and begin interaction.
My goal is this: To have different societies interact with each other without the constraints of pre-made countries or cultures (if I wanted to play a country sim using modern countries, I'd play Risk).
Send me an email if you are interested, the era (historical, modern, future) will be decided via consensus.
Played the game? You can send me comments to be placed on this page by writing firstname.lastname@example.com. But don't write me attempting to join the game -- write the GM, whose address is above.
Are you the GM? You can update your listing by writing email@example.com. If you have something new to say about your game, for example an opening for new players, you can create an announcement for your game.

Kendra Wilkinson insist the drama on her reality show is the real deal.
In a new interview with E! News' Giuliana Rancic, the reality star slams haters for saying she and husband Hank Baskett made up transexual affair rumors to improve ratings for the upcoming season of their reality show, "Kendra on Top."
"I wish we did," she admits on the upcoming special, "Beyond Candid With Giuliana: Kendra Wilkinson Baskett." "It is the most insulting thing out of all this, that people think that this is fake. I would never do this to myself. You know, I would never degrade myself like that."
As for Hank, "Overall he was denying the whole thing. I don't know what to believe. Yes, I'm seriously mad at Hank because I know something happened. I've come very close to divorcing him already."
The former "Girls Next Door" star also talks about the day she found out about the alleged affair.
"This happened five weeks after giving birth to my daughter, and here we are with our newborn baby, and little Hank, and we get a call saying, 'Hank cheated on me with a transsexual?' I just laughed about it," she explains.
After the cheating story hit the tabloids, the mother-of-two started leaving the house without her wedding ring. She admits that she flushed it down the toilet.
"I take my wedding rings off, right in front of him. I drop them in the toilet, he's flipping out, and I just flush the rings down the toilet," she says. "I'm yelling at him, saying, 'Get out of my house!'"

A noisy staircase can disturb homeowners during their daily activities and night sleep. Sound is easily transmitted from one floor to the next via a staircase. For this reason, homeowners need to try out a combination of techniques that can help them fight that annoying noise. Here is a thorough guide that can help you soundproof a noisy staircase once and for all.
How to Make Stairs Quieter, Step by Step!
It is essential to point out that in order to properly cope with a noisy staircase, homeowners need to take several steps that will guarantee that the whole problem is dealt with. However, the construction of a staircase makes it a bit difficult to soundproof.
1. Examine the Staircase and the Steps
The first thing you need to do is to thoroughly examine the staircases of your house to see if any steps squeak or creak.
If you notice any type of noise, then the stair treads are probably coming away from the stringers.
You should then carefully examine the stair treads for any holes which indicate that the steps need to be nailed down to the stringers.
You should also look for any holes or gaps that exist between the steps. As we all know, gaps can easily transmit noise. For this reason, if you discover such spaces, you need to cover them adequately with the use of an acoustic caulk.
You can find a variety of sound sealants on the market nowadays. An inexpensive, yet effective solution Green Glue Noiseproofing Sealant. This particular sound sealant is a durable and flexible soundproof material that can reduce sound transmission and adequately cover any holes or spaces within your staircase.
2. Detached handrail
The handrail is an essential safety part of any staircase. If however, a handrail is not firmly attached to the wall, it may not only deprive you of something to grab upon in case of a fall, but it can also, cause a lot of unnecessary noise when someone climbs the steps of the staircase.
In the same category of problems, we often include a loose-fitting post. A building contractor should best address both of these issues.
3. Insulate the bottom of your staircase
The most important step towards soundproofing your stairs is to insulate them properly. As you can imagine, you will have to properly insulate both the bottom of the staircase and the around space, as well.
To insulate the bottom of a stair, you first need to install a wood strapping along the surface of the stringers. That strapping will help you create a proper surface for your insulation attachment.
After that, you are ready to install about an inch or two of foam board insulation. There are currently three basic types of foam insulation products available on the market: polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, and polyurethane.
Most residential designs have used the extruded polystyrene foam, commonly known as XPS or pink board. There are quite a lot of products available nowadays, most of which are affordable and durable.
A popular product in the market is the so-called Pink Insulation Foam 1/2" Thick foam which has an R-value of 3.
Some people have observed that only the top steps of their staircase are the cause of noise transmission around the house. If that is the case, then you should probably have in mind that the hollow space just under the treads may be the cause of this.
That space may actually work as a big soundbox. Try to move your hand into that empty space and fill it with insulation material and if needed, with extra bracing, as well.
4. Cover the stairs
A useful step to achieve noise reduction coming from your staircase is to cover the stairs with enough carpet and cork adequately. To have the best results, you first need to measure the stair treads.
An easy way to achieve that is to multiply the width by the length for every single step and then add up the results in order to get the total area of the stairs you have to cover. With the use of a knife, cut pieces of cork and fit them to the steps of your staircase.
In case you have steps of different sizes and shapes, you can use a newspaper to cover them beforehand and create a pattern. Then, you should do the same with your carpet.
Cut pieces of carpet and attach them to the steps with the use of carpet tape. You could use a ruler to cut straighter lines of the carpet and the cork.
5. Use acoustic underlay
If you find out that the noise has not been sufficiently reduced after placing the carpet and corks mentioned above, you could add an acoustic underlay, as well.
This material will add an extra level of insulation to your staircase, and it will help a lot in further reducing noise coming from footsteps or just from old wooden steps.
An excellent choice of underlayment is the widely used FloorMuffler Flooring Acoustical and Barrier underlay that is particularly effective for wooden staircases.
Homeowners could also, take a look at the QuietWalk Underlayment for Laminate Flooring with Attached Vapor Barrier that offers noise reduction and moisture protection, as well.
6. Soundproof your staircase from above
To properly soundproof your staircase, it is important that you make it soundproof from above, as well. The first step towards achieving such a thing is to apply some lubricant between the staircase's boards.
Particularly in cases of wooden stairs, every step is usually made of more than one wooden boards. As the years pass by, those boards may start to rub against each other and cause a lot of noise when you step on them.
There are many lubricants you can use to achieve the best possible result, including powdered soapstone, talcum powder, as well as powdered graphite.
After that, you need to make sure that there are sufficient nails that secure the treads in place. If you need to apply some more, you should first apply some pressure on either side of the area that needs some fixing. Use 8 or 10-penny nails and with the use of a hammer, put them into place.
7. Isolate masses
When people wonder about how to soundproof a set of stairs, they usually forget about the impact masses have on noise transmittance around the house.
One of the best ways to achieve noise reduction is to isolate masses, for example, walls from stairs. Usually, the impact of a footstep is being transferred through the tread into the stringer and then into the wall.
The wall, mainly if it is not correctly insulated, will reverberate the sound back to your home, just like a drum. If you have to deal with a problem like that, then you should check your space thoroughly and find out how you can disconnect a part of this sequence.
There are two main techniques you could try out; create some air space or add some insulating mass between the staircase, the walls, and the rest of the room.
The second option is much easier actually, and it can be achieved with the use of a proper carpet or acoustic underlay, as mentioned beforehand.
8. Stop the noise at its source
A useful option you should have in mind when you wish to soundproof your stairs is to stop the noise from reaching the staircase in the first place.
There are actually a lot of different ways that can help you achieve such a thing. A good solution is to enclose the staircase completely.
That way, there will be no space for an echo chamber to be created. To achieve this, you will need to fit the stairs with risers that will close the staircase completely. You need to cut each riser individually and use some timber blocks to fix the risers to the treads.
Another commonly used option is to place a heavy door at the base of the staircase, as well as at the top of it. Although you could measure the height and width of the opening and install the door all by yourself, it is preferable that you hire a professional to provide your home with the best results.
You should also use some heavy carpet or large rugs to soundproof the basement room. That way, the noise that reaches the staircase will be much reduced.
9. Soundproof the walls of the Staircase
Using acoustical insulation to soundproof the walls around the staircase is extremely important. You first need to examine the walls for any gaps and use an acoustic sealant to seal them.
You can use the same sealant you purchased for sealing the gaps in your staircase. Add some insulation material to eliminate any sound reverberation.
You can use many different acoustical insulation products. For example, a popular product in this category is the 12-Pack Acoustic Panels Studio Foam Wedges produced by Foamily.
Alternatively, there is the option of the 48 Pack Acoustic Foam Panel Wedge Studio Soundproofing Wall Tiles. Those panels can successfully reduce middle to high range frequencies, as well as diminish echoes.
It is important to increase the mass of the wall, as well. You can achieve this by using some high-density products. If you wish to improve the ability of the wall to absorb sounds and vibrations, you need to use different materials of high mass.
An efficient combination can really provide you with the utmost results when it comes to soundproofing the space. There is also the option of using soundproof paint along the walls.
This specially made paint will create a thick surface to your wall that will prevent the sound from bouncing and reflecting. That way, the so-called echo will be diminished, and the amount of noise that will reach the stairs will decrease considerably.
10. Reduce noise transmission
To prevent the noise that comes from the stairs and landings, for example, due to footsteps, you need to decrease the transmission of sound.
It may sound difficult at first, but it can be easily achieved through separation between the stair flights and the landings. Specifically designed bearings are situated on the upper, as well as on the lower support of the stair flights. For maximum results, bearings should be installed across the entire width of the flight.
11. Fight reverberation Within the Staircase
Reverberation in a house needs a lot of attention. The main reason is that reverberated noise is not always easy to identify.
It is also challenging to suppress this type of noise in a staircase when there is an absence of sound-absorbing furniture.
Apart from placing many soundproof materials, like panels underneath the stairs, as well as on the wall, ceiling, and risers, you could also, put some heavy furniture in the basement close to the bottom of the stairs. That way, the noise will not be able to reflect so much around the room, and the reverberation will decrease considerably, as well.
Noise reduction in a house is something most homeowners have had to cope with at least once in their lifetime. For those of us who live in a home where one or more flights of stairs exist, there is an extra burden in dealing with the problem.
Fortunately, there are various steps we can take to fight those annoying creaks, whether they are associated with footsteps or with other types of activities.
Apart from focusing on the stairs themselves, we also, need to focus on the rest of the space, as well. Besides, a staircase is not an isolated feature of a house. It is, however, firmly attached to other parts of it, including the walls, the ceiling, and various pieces of furniture.
Therefore, properly soundproofing the whole house can be the key to fighting noise and resting in a quiet and peaceful environment that provides the necessary silence to all of the members of our family.

In honour of LGBT Pride Month, Mashable visited the Midtown Manhattan location of SAGE (Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders) to chat with four LGBT elders about their experiences within the community.
Ageing members of the LGBT community are often overlooked and under appreciated within our modern movement, in favour of younger generations.
It's rare we actually hear people who lived through our most profound periods — the Stonewall Riots, the HIV/AIDS crisis and countless other moments that led to major victories in LGBT rights.
From touching coming out stories to advice for LGBT youth today, these four folks had a lot to share — and we are more than happy to listen.

"You've consumed too much of the Kool-Aid that the man has been serving you."
Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Susan Lori Parks came into the Front Row studio last week to talk about When Father Came Home From The Wars opening at the Royal Court Theatre. We discussed James Baldwin, the "wormhole" presence of The American Civil War in modern America and, of course the upcoming Presidential Election, especially the question of whether Hillary Clinton is being held to a different standard of accountability and expectation than Donald Trump. We didn't have time to air that section, but what she had to say on that is really worth listening to..

A Lawyer Just Invaded My Story!
As an author, you may be wary about including a lawyer in your crime fiction, because you don't want to be tripped up by thorny legal points. However, in your current mystery, you need a lawyer to make a few appearances to get the heroine's best friend out of jail. You hope this relatively minor role won't expose you to any tricky legal issues.
You create Meredith Kwite, a defense attorney who specializes in criminal law. How do you make her seem like a real lawyer?
Follow these simple rules:
- Have Meredith argue about everything. Everything. "Contrariwise," as Tweedledee said, is Meredith's motto.
Example: The Prosecutor has just told Meredith (represents the alleged criminal) that her client should plead guilty because he made a full confession to Detective Bligh. Meredith gets a death grip on her phone and snaps back: That statement will be thrown out by the judge. Haven't you read the latest Ninth Circuit case tossing a confession, practically on all fours with my client's situation? And, we're suing the police department for violating his civil rights. And, I demand full disclosure of all the complaints made about Detective Bligh's unscrupulous interviewing techniques.
Yes, Meredith's contrariness makes her annoying.
- Never let Meredith admit fault. Ever. Accepting responsibility, while good for the soul, does not win cases or help to trample the opposition.
Example: Judge Rider has just denied Meredith's motion to suppress her client's statement to the cop. Over lunch, as she stabs an inoffensive lettuce leaf with her fork, she explains to her colleagues: Rider ruled against me because he is afraid of the prosecutor, he wants to be re-elected, and he is, above all, an idiot. My argument was too complex and controversial for that cretin to understand. Please note, it is a win-win for lawyers if they can avoid responsibility and blame someone else.
Ouch, this appears to be another annoying trait.
- Meredith always wins. She has a mind-boggling ability to turn defeat into victory.
Example: Judge Rider has just sentenced Meredith's client to a substantial prison term. After a giant chug of Devil's Ale, Meredith announces to her friends: Yeah, my client got fifty years for murder and armed robbery, but the prosecutor wanted him to plead to a minimum of fifty-five. And I beat the shoplift charge! I'm glad that idiot judge denied my motion to suppress, because now I can win at the Court of Appeals, and they'll slam him.
Yes, Meredith is annoying and abrasive, but these qualities will convince most readers she is a real lawyer. You've created an advocate. Lawyers are not in the business of helping the other side. Here's an image to keep in your head: a hawk soars down to snatch up a field mouse. Not pretty, but if you're charged with first degree murder, you want a "go for the kill" type, not the creature who scurries away. If the person who gets you out jail is an obnoxious twit, you won't care.
Should you tone down Meredith's negative qualities? Make her a lovable curmudgeon? Interesting point, the problem of unlikable characters, the subject of another blog.

Of course, it is great to find a winery that makes good wine, but I think it is a real gem to find one that has beautiful ambiance to enjoy while sipping!
JM Cellars is located in Woodinville Wine Country, and in my opinion, is one of the prettiest wineries to taste at in the area. We frequent this winery, and have been pleased with all of our visits!
At JM you will find a beautiful, modern house tucked back up a hill. There are several rooms to taste at, and we have even ran into the owner/winemaker John several times as he was there to offer barrel tastings. I love the more personal feel of this winery!
Their wines are delicious, which is backed up by the fact that there is a waiting list to join their wine club, and the parking lot has gotten so busy that they now offer complimentary valet for guests on weekends. For reds, my favorite is the Syrah, and for whites, my choice is the Viogner.
My visit was in early spring, so I am sure that trees and flowers weren't in full bloom, so I hope that my pictures don't do the winery an injustice. Next time you are out tasting in Woodinville, make sure to give JM Cellards a try!
14404 137th Place NE, Woodinville, WA 98072
