The background to this card is created from a two part stamp made by My Favorite Things
It is the Candy Stripe Background
One stamp is the thicker stripes which I have done in pink and the other is the thinner triple stripes in black
It would look really good in other colours too, and it is the perfect way to create your own backgrounds, to match your designs, when you don't have a suitable paper on hand.
Play with the stamp ... use just one part of it for a simple look.
Stamp it one way and then turn it around to create some checks. Try it diagonally too for another look. I am sure that you can come up with many more ideas as you play.
The "Thanks" word is a small die from AlteNew and it has the matching stamp set to go with it, and from that set I used the other part to the sentiment.
I cut the word twice from black card and black craft foam and layered the two together
Another that is not my usual style and I don't profess to be a stamper ... but never the less I enjoyed making this card and playing with some of the new and different items I have been buying

Multi-award winning gospel singer and songwriter Dr Tumisang Makweya says he is ready to fill up the Ticketpro Dome for his Gathering of Worshippers concert come August 20.
Speaking to HuffPost SA on Friday, Makweya, known affectionately as Dr Tumi, said he is ready to make history and prove to the world that gospel music lovers can also unite for a cause when called upon.
"I decided to make this move out of faith and also because I totally believe that one can do anything with God. I don't believe in limitations. Part of the reason I decided to do this was to document how people from all walks of life can come together for one cause regardless of their race and ethnicity," he told HuffPost SA.
Dr Tumi, a qualified medical doctor, follows in the footsteps of hip-hop star Cassper Nyovest (real name Refiloe Phoolo) who, in 2015, filled up the venue with the capacity to house 20,000 people.
When asked how far he is from reaching his goal, Dr Tumi said "we'll definitely get there. By next week, in the days leading up to the event, we should have confirmation. We are selling between 400 and 500 tickets per day, so we are close to filling up The Dome [as it was previously known] for Jesus," he said.
"If you put your mind to it you can achieve anything. All the shows we have had in various venues have been sold out so I have faith that people will come out to gather and worship with us," he said.
But filling up The Dome is not the ultimate dream for the "Nothing Without You" hitmaker.
Dr Tumi, who recently signed an international distribution deal with Universal Music, told HuffPost SA that his next move is a world tour.
"Next for me is definitely bigger. We need to take Jesus to the nations out there. A world tour is definitely next on the list," he said.
If you're still wondering why you should get your hands on a ticket, these popular songs by the good doctor should be reason enough:
1. Nothing Without You
This song, from his gold-selling album "Love and Grace", became an anthem and a staple in many gospel fans' homes and hearts.
2. No Other God
When his album "Love and Grace" came out, fans applauded Dr Tumi for writing and producing each song to "perfection". This song also became a hit with gospel fans.
3. You Are Here
This song is from his "Heart of a King" album
Tickets for the Gathering of Worshippers concert are available through Tickepro and range from R180 to R500.

10 Stock, Grip and Handguard Upgrades for Your AK
A guest post by Robert Sadowski
The AK-47 and AK-74 systems are engineering marvels in their ability to function in any environment, yet today they can seem dated — particularly the wood stock and furniture. Back in 1947 and even in 1974, a wood stock was an accepted standard in a military rifle. Today, synthetic stocks and handgrips offer better durability, easy customization, and more shooting comfort. Here's a list of replacement stocks and furniture that can up your AK's game…
ATI Strikeforce Stock with Scorpion Recoil System
The Strikeforce offers a complete stock and grip do-over package that includes a six-position adjustable folding stock with the Scorpion recoil system plus hand guards and an adjustable cheek rest. The rifle can be fired with the stock opened or folded, and the Scorpion recoil system uses a piston design to absorb the kick. It fits most stamped AK-47 receivers and is constructed of glass-reinforced polymer. Made in the USA. For more info, go to atigunstocks.com or call (800) 925-2522. Shop Now!
ERGO AK Classic Grip
Made of rubber overmolded polymer, the ERGO AK Classic Grip is easily swapped on most AK rifles. The ambidextrous design with a textured finish and smooth finger grooves make the grip ergonomic for better weapon control when compared to smaller mil-spec grips. A storage compartment in the butt has a tethered rubber plug to store cleaning gear or small tools. Includes 6mm bolts for installation. For more information, go to ergogrips.net or call (877) 281-3783. Shop Now!
Bravo Company BCM GUNFIGHTER Vertical Short Grip
Made to fit a rail-equipped AK forend, the Bravo Company BCM GUNFIGHTER Vertical Short Grip is a low-profile unit designed to be snag free while providing the user with better rifle control. The forward angle increases the rigidity of the handguard and provides a more natural wrist angle. Reversible spring-loaded clamps allow the grip to be attached to any Picatinny-style rail. Constructed of polymer and made in the USA. Shop Now!
Magpul MOE AK Grip
This unit is compatible with reinforced and un-reinforced AK-47/AK-74 receivers. The grip is constructed of one piece of reinforced polymer and is designed to improve ergonomics with an aggressive texture on the sides and front and rear straps for better control and manipulation. Installation is easy, and it is compatible with the Magpul Grip Core for customized storage solutions. Color options include black, foliage green, flat dark earth, gray, and OD green. Made in the USA. For more info, go to magpul.com or call (877) 462-4785. Shop Now!
TAPCO AK SAW Style Pistol Grip
Designed for extended training and practice sessions, the TAPCO AK SAW Style pistol grip is patterned after the renowned M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) grip. This black-finished grip with horizontal grooves flares out at the bottom so users have a surer grasp on the rifle. The angle of the grip is also more ergonomic for more comfortable shooting over extended shooting periods. The grip also doubles as a storage compartment. Included in the kit are an installation bolt and washer. Constructed of composite material, the grip is available in black and dark earth. Made in the USA. For more info, go to tapco.com or call (800) 554-1445. Shop Now!
Timbersmith Wood Furniture
Timbersmith offers premium American wood in the popular Russian Red for Romanian manufactured AK-47s. Who doesn't love a Romanian redhead? The set includes three pieces: stock, grip, and handguard. The buttstock features a rubber buttpad; the pistol grip is checkered; and cuts are made on the stock and handguard to reduce weight. Wood is also available in black or brown laminate. Crafted in the USA. Suggested retail is $160. For more info, go to timbersmithusa.com or call (800) 554-1445.
UTG Model 47 Ergonomic Pistol Grip
Weighing just 5.4 ounces, the UTG Model 47 Ergonomic Pistol Grip is constructed of combat-grade synthetic material. The ergonomic design features fingers grooves to help provide a solid, repeatable grip and keep the rifle on target. It features an OD Green or black finish and a concealed storage compartment. For more info, go to leapers.com or call (734) 542-1500. Shop Now!
TAPCO Intrafuse AK Side Folding Stock
Reduce the length of your AK for close-quarters action with the Tapco Intrafuse AK Side Folding stock. The stock folds to the right, drastically shortening the overall length of the rifle; when the stock is extended, it has a 15-inch length of pull. Designed to be compatible with stamped AK receivers. Made in the USA, these stocks are constructed of high-strength composite material with a steel hinge. A sling attachment is included. Available in black or dark earth. For more info, go to tapco.com or call (800) 554-1445. Shop Now!
Mako AK-47 Survival Buttstock with Built-in Magazine Carrier
Fast reloads are close at hand with the Mako AK-47 Survival Buttstock with built-in magazine carrier. Similar to an M4 buttstock, the AK-47 Survival Buttstock is adjustable for length of pull plus it has a built-in magazine carrier compatible with standard AK-47 magazines. It comes with one 10-round magazine and is constructed of rugged polymer. The design is sleek and smooth and won't hang up on gear. Available in black, OD green or dark earth. For more info, go to themakogroup.com or call (631) 880-3396. Shop Now!
Slide Fire Solutions SSAK-47 StockYou will need plenty of ammo with the Slide Fire SSAK-47 stock, since it allows shooters to safely fire rounds fast. The system works this way: Place the stock in your shoulder pocket and pull it in tight with your shooting hand, then with your non-shooting hand, push forward on the handguard. This movement causes the trigger to collide with your trigger finger and fire the weapon. The recoil from the fired round allows the trigger to be reset. The stock is easy and simple to install on most AK-47 rifles with stamped receivers. Available in black and natural oak or red oak. For more info, go to slidefire.com or call (325) 945-3800. Shop Now!

10 AK-47 Accessories That Won't Bust Your Budget
[…] For more stock options, read "10 Stock, Grip and Handguard Upgrades for Your AK." […]
looking for a fixed Woodstock for my m70 sporter b1 ak 47 763×39 it's a century international from cheaper than dirt gun came with plastic firniture
Ten Affordable AK-47 Accessories
[…] For more stock options, read "10 Stock, Grip and Handguard Upgrades for Your AK." […]
The Chinese made Norenco MAK-90 Sporter has a terrible thumbhole wood stock and the stamped receiver is angle cut which limited my choice to two stocks. The first option I considered was the wood furniture from Ironwood for about $160.00 and puts you into 922r compliance issues. This was more than I wanted to pay and I wanted a more modern/tactical look so I purchased the ATI Fiberforce Stock and Grips. The stock was a well made Draganov style that was easy to install by drilling one hole into the stock for the tang screw and screwing the shorter supplied bolt thru the handgrip into the existing angle nut. The forend hand grips were cheap and poorly designed so I did not use them (the kit was $60.00). I then ordered the Hogue Overmolded forend grips ($30.00) which fit good, feels good, and looks great.
Don't forget to mention AK furnature by Hogue. They have a great feel and cone in a variety of colors to help customize your AK-47.
I just need a front grip to attach a drop down handle on the bottom and a reflex sight on top.
Have a yugo m70 b1 ak ordered a tapco six position stock from cheaper than dirt it wouldn't work my synthetic original stock has a flat surface and a pretty long bolt that goes to a nut made onto the back of gun. I did however go with the utg hand guards quad rail all alluminum constructed and the utg light laser combo and utg front grip go the squeeze pads for light and laser really looks good and alluminum constructed it actually serves more than just cosmetic issue it really does help with heat distribution I'm intrested in changing the stock collapsible is what I prefer any ideas or I've considered folding as well I kinda like the one that fold under rather than to the side. If anyone's familiar with that yugo m70 b1 ak with grenade gas block on a good affordable stock thanks
Are there stocks for milled receivers in dark earth ?they always say stamped only !
Lt Scrounge
You should include the Tapco Fusion hand guard on your list. The aluminum heat shield really cuts down on the transfer of the heat generated during even short shooting sessions. It comes with a rail on the bottom as well as a very good rail cover that latches in place. It really made my Wasr II enjoyable to shoot. Before I added it, Using the stock wooden hand guards, I almost burnt my fingers after one magazine.

text: We're in the midsts of Valentine's Day planning for next year at work, and this is one Valentine's Day color palette I've fallen in love with. It's traditionally lovey with the pinks and reds, but that pop of light teal is what really sets it apart. Mix in a dark neutral that has notes of the teal, and you have yourself a not too traditional, but on point palette for the season. But really, I'd use it year round. I feel like I'm practically bleeding that icy pink lately! hah. I'd love to see how this translates to a quirky dinner party, or even in Valentine's Day decorations around the home.

Beautiful words Zena. I think life works and exists through changes even if we do not like them but probably they are in some way life's gifts and blessings. I like your photographs for composition clearity and vivid colours. They are like healing moments. I hope you are well. Big hugs to you!

Have you ever had a manager whose memory still sticks with you today?
For some of us, our minds will pull up memories from the worst boss we ever had. One that intimidated us or squandered our potential. Most of us, however, will think back with fond memories to our favorite managers. Ones that inspired us to do our best work and not only believed in our potential for success, but did anything they could to help us cultivate our strengths.
It's true that great leaders possess qualities that are ingrained within them since birth, but there are other necessary qualities that can be learned and strengthened through development and education. Leadership training is not just intended for mediocre leaders who could benefit from additional education – it also benefits those who are already exceptional leaders. Here's why:
Training works to increase productivity.
If a leader truly understands their employees, they will know what they need to do in order to empower their employees to excel. This emotional intelligence is a necessary trait of good leaders and, through training, can be transformed into a strategy for how to deal with your specific team.
Training leads to better employee retention.
Occasionally, employees will receive better job opportunities and leave their current position to continue their career path. Most of the time, however, employees leave their jobs due to discrepancies with their boss. If you invest in leadership training, it could mean better employee retention for your company.
Training will help highlight future leaders.
Whenever you are considering promoting an employee into a leadership position within your company, it's important that your candidates aren't just the most outgoing personalities in the office. Seek out employees with the makings of a great leader and place them in leadership training. This combination will eventually shine a light on who the right choice is – and it may surprise you.

Religion and Anxiety
What Jesus said in them on the concerns of the world? Jesus is tame and humble of heart. Its pack is light and soft. Its anxiety launches on Jesus all and It will give Its peace to it. It is not by chance that we read in the Sacred Holy Writs the fulfilment that Jesus made: ' ' the peace is with you. ' ' We cannot walk anxious with nothing, before all our petitions are known ahead of God, It is the powerful direcionador and resolver of all the questions of its children and in them guides in our attitudes front to the questions that appear, exactly those that seem not to have solution. Most important it is that let us have a life of proximity with Mr. How? In everything they are our order known ahead of God for a conjunct and suplication with action of favours, that the miracle comes e, many times, we do not obtain to understand nor as it was possible! Therefore, by the human thoughts, it would be complicated and until the barrier if it makes unsurmountable.
' ' You do not walk anxious for thing some; before in everything they are your order ahead known of God for the conjunct and suplication with action of favours; the peace of God, who exceeds the agreement all, will keep to your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.' ' Filipenses 4:6 and 7 What Jesus spoke on the concerns of the world? In the parabola of the semeador in Mateus 13, Jesus explains that the concerns of the world suffocate the word of God who you heard. from there starts the confusion in the words, thoughts, feelings and attitudes, for the reliable loss in the ways Mr. ' ' Here it is that the semeador left semear.' ' Mateus 13:3 b ' ' another one (seed) fell between thorns; the thorns had grown and sufocaram.' ' Mateus 13:7 ' ' what it was sown between the thorns, this is what it hears the word; but the cares of this world and the seduction of the wealth suffocate the word, and it he is infrutfera.' ' Mateus 13:22 Then, what it can taking off in them of this situation of desperation, where pparently does not have exit? Not to be worried about the routine things of the world it is the first step, therefore that is current attitude of who is not son of God, therefore if it leaves to lead for the obstacles and it does not know in the practical o to be able of God acting in its life.

TORONTO — Two Canadians are among seven Westerners released on bail by a Cambodian court after they were arrested for allegedly posting photos on social media showing them engaged in sexually suggestive dancing.
A news release issued Friday by Upstream Strategy Group said 19-year-old Eden Kazoleas and 26-year-old Jessica Drolet were returning to Canada with Toronto lawyer Frances Tibollo, who negotiated their release.
The statement said they are due to arrive at Toronto's Pearson International Airport at about 6 p.m. ET and that a news conference will follow.
Tibollo's father, lawyer Michael Tibollo, said the Canadians, who were imprisoned for more than a week, were in a cell with more than 45 other women.
"It was a very confined space," Michael Tibollo said. "They barely had space to lie around or make a bed to lie on, so the conditions were not the best."
He said they left Cambodia shortly after their release, flying to Thailand and then Philippines before returning to Canada.
Yim Srang, a court spokesman in the northwestern province of Siem Reap, said the investigation has been completed and the seven were freed Wednesday, but no trial date has been set. He said three other people remained in detention but he didn't know their names or nationalities.
The 10 people arrested — including five from the United Kingdom, and one each from Norway, the Netherlands and New Zealand — were detained when police raided a commercially organized party at a rented villa in Siem Reap town and found people dancing at an event described as a pub crawl. Siem Reap is near the famous Angkor Wat temple complex.
Police who conducted the raid originally detained almost 90 people, and it was unclear why they singled out 10 to remain in custody and be charged.
Police said those caught in the raid had been "dancing pornographically" and offended Cambodian standards of morality. They face up to a year in jail if convicted.

3 Tips to Finding Happiness When You Have Career ADD
Distractions of any kind can derail us… right?
Couple those distractions with a diagnosis of Career ADD or living a Career ADD Lifestyle that is leading you down the wrong path.
How many of us are switching activities multiple times throughout the day, and at the end of the day very little is truly accomplished?
Now imagine that the same distractors are impacting your work every day. Worse yet, imagine that you are struggling with making a career decision that won't take you down the same path of unhappiness and failure.
Are you stuck?
Does your mind come to a screeching halt when considering job or career options, or does it move on to the next often negative thought and subsequent action that gets you nowhere?
No, you are not crazy… life does sometimes get in the way. On the other hand, if you are seeing a pattern here – one that has continued for perhaps years, it is time to take another look at what may be the root cause and some tips to help move you toward Career Happiness!
Here are three tips to help you get started:
1. Take an HONEST look at your work life.
I'm talking about from your very first job, no matter what it was. Ask yourself this – How did it make me feel every day? Did I make little mistakes and could not figure out why I made them? Was I called on the carpet more times than I'd like to admit? Do I now lack self-confidence in my ability to secure work that makes me happy? Taking an inventory of our work lives is the first step to seeing a pattern in the way we have approached our careers.
If you have Career ADD, it doesn't matter if you studied for years for the job you now have, or for the one that you are now seeking, if issues of ADD or a Career ADD Lifestyle are part of your current make-up, the patterns will continue.
2. Get a diagnosis or take an inventory for ADD.
My best friend sent me the book Driven to Distraction by Edward Hallowell, which I ignored for two years. Finally, after my divorce, I knew I had to take another look and, magically, was able to locate it on my bookshelf as if some force were directing me. There are dozens of books out there, but this was the one that made all the difference and helped me to truly recognize what was going on.
What a relief!
And after I went through a brief grieving process, started to notice more what I was doing, how I was reacting and then sought tools to help me.
3. Get support now!
This can either come in the form of an ADD coach, or with a career professional who understands the many challenges we face in our career and in our lives, and can help guide you to make choices that can be life changing.
At the very least, find a trusted friend who accepts you and will be honest with you. Ask them to keep you accountable to manage your symptoms for success.
So, here are just a few of the "symptoms" of ADD that have impacted you in the career realm: easily distractible, low tolerance for frustration, low tolerance for boredom, impulsiveness, forgetfulness, restlessness… and the list goes on.

The quintessential fat-fendered rod, this 1947 Ford club coupe offers big car space, plenty of V8 power, and great details that make it stand out in a crowded field. It's also sort of a rare find being that it has a Ford 302CI motor between the front fenders. For all you guys who cringe when you read Chevy 350 in a Ford, this just may be the perfect rod for you!
Dressed in formal black, this awesome Ford has a familiar look that's never going to go out of style, but with a few custom touches that give it a unique look. The most obvious parts are the custom flames licking along the bodywork, beautifully done and dazzlingly complex, they're also subtle and tasteful, something that can rarely be said of flame jobs. The black paint underneath is quite nicely done, too, offering a deep gloss and distortion-free reflections in the Ford's curvaceous bodywork. The sheetmetal is original and nothing was chopped or trimmed, and all the factory trim pieces were left in place. That means the beautiful wide grille with red accents, the stainless side trim, and even the window surrounds, all of which add contrast to the black paint. A few tasteful pinstripe flourishes add a traditional touch, while LED lighting gives it a state-of-the-art look at night. This is an easy car to love.
The very cool interior is why you'll find this car so appealing as a driver, with custom leather and ostrich skin buckets flanking a custom center console that neatly ties into the original dash. The upholstery work is beautifully done and quite tasteful overall, with simple door panels, nice black carpets, and few distractions from the stitchwork on the seats. The original gauges, complete with red lettering, still monitor the engine, while a tilt column with a leather-wrapped wheel makes it feel more contemporary. A/C vents were discreetly tucked under the dash and into the hand-fabricated center console, along with the Kenwood AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo head unit. The back seat is reasonably sized for full-sized adults, so it was appropriately upholstered to match, along with the good-sized trunk which is simply finished in black carpets.
One of our favorite features about this rod is that it's 100% Ford, starting with a 302 cubic inch V8 up front. Dressed in Cobra regalia and lots of polished aluminum, it's a strong runner with a fat torque curve to get the big coupe up and running without working too hard. An Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold make for sharp throttle response and it's been tuned to make use of high-octane pump gas, so no fussiness when you're out on the road. A big aluminum radiator keeps it cool even on hot days in traffic, and the firewall has been smoothed and painted to provide the perfect backdrop for the shiny engine. An AOD 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission means it's easy-going on the highway and the 9-inch rear offers 3.35 gears with a Track-Lok limited slip. Long-tube headers and a custom dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers provides an old-school soundtrack and thanks to a modern front clip, the suspension rides well and includes power steering and disc brakes. Staggered Torque Thrust wheels add to the wicked rake and wear 195/60/15 front and 255/70/15 rear BFGoodrich T/A radials.
Nicely finished and obviously built to drive, this cool old Ford is a painless way to get the best of both worlds. Call today!

Dr. Beuth's research interests are in the area of solid mechanics and manufacturing. Much of his research relates to his expertise in the areas of thermomechanical modeling of manufacturing processes, fracture mechanics, and the mechanics of coatings and layered materials. His current research includes work in three areas.
One area currently being investigated relates to Mechanics of Electron and Laser Beam-Based Additive Manufacturing Processes, which are automated processes for directly building three-dimensional parts or features, layer-by-layer, via electron beam- or laser-based deposition. These processes are also referred to as direct digital manufacturing or solid freeform fabrication and offer an alternative means for fabricating metal parts for the aerospace and medical implant industries. Dr. Beuth and his students perform analyses to predict melt pool size and residual stress for these processes, presenting results in the form of "process maps" that process development researchers can use directly. Through collaborations with Prof. Nathan Klingbeil of Wright State University, process mapping methods have been extended to consider microstructure control and means for integrated control of melt pool geometry and microstructure. This research is being performed with manufacturing and materials researchers at other universities, aerospace companies and NASA.
Another area of Dr. Beuth's research involves Developing and Application of a High Precision On-Chip Tensile Testing Platform for Polysilicon. An advantage of this platform is its ability to test large numbers of specimens quickly and with high resolution. Statistical characterization of polysilicon strength requires the testing of many samples, and results from this testing platform are being used to better understand the role of processing on strength. A most recent project in this area involves the testing and analysis of micro-scale strength size effects in polysilicon and metal alloys used in MEMS devices. This work is being carried out with Prof. Maarten de Boer of CMU and researchers at Sandia National Laboratories.
Prof. Beuth is also working with Prof. Carolyn Rose' of the CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute on an NSF-sponsored education project to more effectively teach students in computer-aided engineering projects. Projects involve students interacting with local or remote team members via a text and drawing interface. Student text interactions are monitored by an intelligent agent, which interjects comments and questions with the goal of increasing student engagement and learning. Multiple CMU ME faculty and students are involved in this project, as well as ME faculty at Drexel University (Prof. Jack Zhou) and the University of California at Santa Barbara (Prof. Glenn Beltz).

"Mineral based"? Wonder what minerals? Borax maybe? Boron maybe?

Not worth using or only lasts ten years as opposed to fifteen?OldMech,I decided to go straight to the horses mouth and dropped an email to the folks at ECO Wood Treatment asking about the issue of using it on pine and how they thought it would perform in comparison to using a quailty primer with two coats of a quality latex paint.This is the Response I received;Eco Wood treatment works on Pine, I,m not sure why that says that somewhere, a lot of people want a silvery/high end aged look , fast , and Pine takes the longest to turn that color, it will go a Beachwood color, also pine is not a good wood for in ground use, maybe that's why it says that on the internet, .Eco would be great for your Hives, you will never have to re apply the product, and it will last way longer than your painted Hives, its a proven wood preservatives, that prevents the white rot funji , Kelly Bees has lots hope this helps best regards bruceOK...I think I'm back to considering giving it a try...

The exchange at Prime Minister's Questions in the middle of January revealed how easy it is for Cameron to bat away arguments about the unfairness of cutting nursing bursaries and maintenance grants. Corbyn came across strongly at the end of his questions with his line of questioning with his points on nursing but Cameron's lines about 'uncapping aspiration' and his argument about economic security at the end were strong and politically damaging.
Here's a few Corbyn could use in reply: the new funding system is a policy of broken aspiration, lifetime debt and economic hypocrisy. Taking these last two points first, for literally millions of young people the Tories are the party of deficit-makers. For a party that continues to position itself on the economy in relation to government debt, they are strangely insistent on indebting an entire generation up to the eye-balls. This contradiction should be exploited politically and Labour quite simply never has.
On the issue of aspiration, picking out teachers and nurses is symbolically important: both of these are careers which became associated with upward social mobility over the 20th century. But it isn't enough to talk about the aspiration of safe Labour voters. The greatest political weakness of the Conservative party is the economic vulnerability of the working lower-middle class which their higher education reforms are undoubtedly damaging. Poorer students will now graduate with an average of £12,500 more debt than their wealthier peers. This coincides with the broader changes in the housing market which has seen house ownership and mortgage rates fall since the financial crisis, across all income quintiles and especially for the bottom 60% of households. Fundamentally the aspiration to owner-occupancy increasingly difficult if not impossible for more and more people. Aspiration based around these norms is increasingly vulnerable – it is at least breaking if not broken.
Labour desperately needs to appeal to this demographic but this has to go beyond an electoral strategy. Having soundbites that people understand that we can repeat over and over again matters. But it matters not for the cynical reasons of the Conservatives – what we are engaged in is a struggle to transform the political 'common sense' of people and we need to build a movement which can do this. We are trying to challenge the long-term occupancy of power – not just in a political sense but in the deep transformative way that Thatcher shifted English society and culture rightwards. For the first time in my lifetime there is just the possibility that the left could move onto the front foot.
By talking about education and housing we pick away at two areas which are now far more vulnerable areas of social policy for the Conservatives. In these circumstances, social mobility itself as it has been conceived of, i.e. the fair chance through education of free upward (never downward) movement, is politically vulnerable. In an immediate sense, there is a clear tilting of the scales against the poorest and most debt-averse students. But this crisis runs far deeper.
A generation of more affluent though not rich young people, and, let us not forget this essential political point, their parents, are facing the serious likelihood of serious difficulties accessing the housing market combined with a lifetime of debt repayment. Conservative housing policy will deepen social and racial cleansing of inner-city housing, but it does so in a desperate attempt to prop-up middle-class first-time buyers. The trick for Labour is to come up with a policy which speaks to that middle-class anxiety, not because they are our priority but because their status represents the security that many aspire to. We shouldn't reject that as bourgeois, we should acknowledge that this is the language of the everyday life that people want.
There is a fundamental need for a rigorously thought-out political programme from Labour which highlights these weaknesses, critiques the old models and puts something new in their place. Just as McDonnell announced with reference to cooperative models of worker ownership, 'we cannot simply turn the clock back' to old forms of public ownership. The same is true in higher education and we need a systematic programme for a radical alternative to back up the soundbites.
If as Stuart Hall argued, drawing on Gramsci, 'every crisis is also a moment of reconstruction; that there is no destruction which is not, also, reconstruction' then we have to make sure we win the political argument of the current crisis. This is not just an economic crisis – the crises within education and housing are an opportunity to re-shape not only the political agenda but the deeper social and cultural assumptions which are rapidly being shown to be contradictory. Cameron and the old hegemony of the new right is vulnerable and, with Corbyn as leader, there is an opening for an offensive from the left.

Q&ADear Cheap Chic Weddings,
My son is getting married and he says that the groom's parents are supposed to pay for the honeymoon! Is this customary? I am a single parent and his Dad has no interest in helping out. I am trying to help my son and his fiance out as much as possible but I just can't afford a honeymoon. What should I do?
Dear Dianne,
In the past the groom and his family did pay for the honeymoon, but these days it is not really "tradition". If the groom's parents have the means and want to do it that's great. It is pretty commonplace for the groom or the couple to pay for their own honeymoon. If you can't pay for it they really shouldn't expect you to. Check out some great money-saving tips for your honeymoon here
Best Regards,
Love It.........Hate ItLove It:
*We still love when a bride wears a classic set of pearl jewelry. Pearls never go out of style and you can even wear faux pearls to save some bucks.
* Deep Red is the hot color of fall and winter. If you love it, Use it!
* Many brides and grooms are creating slide shows that are played at the reception. Use family pictures, date pictures, and vacation picture to share with everyone.
Hate It:
We hate it when we cannot hear the words spoken at the ceremony. Check to be sure that everyone at the ceremony site will be able to hear everything!
ReviewsWhat is more important than the photos of your wedding and the events surrounding it? After all of the digital photos are taken and friends and family have sent you of the photos they have taken, check out Shutterfly
You send them your digital photos from home; they print them up and send them right to you. They have great package deals, and offer a slew of photo products as well.
Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

Chronic hepatitis B and C both cause cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer, according to WebMD. Hepatitis B is more commonly acute than chronic, while the opposite is true for Hepatitis C. There is a vaccine for hepatitis B, but no vaccine is available for Hepatitis C, says Healthline.
Hepatitis A is the least dangerous of all forms of hepatitis. Hepatitis A will often get better on its own and will not lead to chronic liver inflammation. Hepatitis D only occurs in individuals with active Hepatitis B. Hepatitis E is most common in Africa, Asia, Mexico and India and does not lead to liver problems, reports WebMD.
Hepatitis B is more likely to be spread by sexual contact or from mother to child during the birth process, according to Healthline. It is also a concern for kidney patients undergoing hemodialysis. Hepatitis C is transmissible through blood and less often through sexual contact or during birth. The most common way Hepatitis C is spread in the United States is through current intravenous drug users. Of the estimated 3.2 million people in the United States infected with chronic Hepatitis C, most do not show symptoms of the illness, as stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I heart e-Patterns!
Reason #1:
With a hard copy pattern making two different sized coats at the same time would have been tough. I would have bought two patterns (to save time) or traced the one pattern pieces (to save money).
This way I could make it again and again.
With the e-pattern, I cut the larger template out first, use it and then cut it down to the smaller size. I still have all of the sizes because they are on my computer!
Reason #2:
I can download them to my iPhone, at the fabric store I know exactly how much fabric I need to buy. E-patterns are easier to organize on your computer and I can insistently see what sewing projects I have to choose from.
My hard copy patterns are all in a box and I have to look through everything to find what I need. Usually I come across a pattern I have not seen for years because I forgot I even had it.
Reason #3
Once I had a costumer who bought almost every Sew Spoiled e-pattern available. Her hard drive on her computer died and she emailed me about what had happened. I looked up her invoices and sent all of the patterns directly to her again.
These are just few reason why I like e-patterns. Why do you like e-Patterns? Please share with us why you buy e-Patterns.
Happy e-Pattern Sewing!

Can be sewing almost immediately. No waiting for the pattern to come in the mail!
Saves on shipping costs! I hate paying shipping!
Should I continue?

I love epatterns, I only print the pattern pieces, and until I am familiar with the technique, I "read" the instructions on the computer (which is usually sitting next to my machine!)

i love e-patterns because i hate waiting for patterns in the mail. and since I live in Australia, it takes twice as long and costs 3 times as much to get them posted to me.
I have bought patterns before and forgotten that I bought them before they've even arrived!

I love e-patterns for many of the same reasons you listed, although I do not have the mobile capabilities you speak of.
I also like shopping from the comfort of my home at any hour of the day AND getting the pattern within a few moments rather than days. It is so convenient.
Another added bonus is that most sellers will answer questions about their patterns, too. Well, at least Sew Spoiled does :)

I don't even have to walk out of the house to get sewing stuff....Order pattern, read what I need, order fabric and notions online. Wait 2 days....get started! Plus I love Hawthorn Threads.....They are in New York, I am in New Jersey, I have awesome fabric so fast!

I am not really a fan of them for a few reasons (but I do like some for other reasons).
1 - they cost the same or more than a printed pattern and I still have to use my own paper and ink to print them.
2- you cannot sell many of them after you are done using them, as I would with a printed pattern.
3- there is a lot of extra work for larger items to tape and construct the pattern pieces.
I do like the instant gratification of having them and not having to go to a store or wait for shipping though. I think many "patterns" out there are just tutorials and many are even available for free. Places like sewingmamas.com has many patterns for free.

OK, I have yet another good reason why I love e-patterns. Maybe the best reason to love e-patterns. Most e-patterns writers are women like you and I. We are mothers, wives, sisters and daughters who love to creative and want to share that creativity with others. I own 108 e-patterns that are not Sew Spoiled e-patterns! The main reason why is to support these women who love to create! Honestly, Sew Spoiled started because I was a stay at home mom at the time, who needed to help my family financially raise money so I could continue staying home with my two daughters. I believe we as women have to support one another and raise each other up!
- October 13, 2010 at 10:18 PM
never thought about backing them up to my phone! that's a great idea! handy for knowing what supplies you need. thanks for sharing.

Epatterns (IMO) are idiot proof. They have detailed instructions along with pictures to help those of use who used to be pattern and sewing challenged. In the end you don't end up with simple results, but a wonderful looking item. I always feel like the authors of epatterns make me look good. People think I'm excellent at sewing, but truthfully I just have great instructors/instructions.
When I first started buying epatterns my daughter was in a size 1, she now wears a 5. I can still use the same patterns, I just print them off in bigger sizes. If it was a paper pattern I wouldn't have bought them again even if I did like the pattern.
I am with Erika on the cost issue when I'm buying a pattern for something I might not make more then one of. I guess I'm the biggest fan when it's a clothing item for my daughter.

And her miles of silver, white beaches, stretched taut and inviting over the entire coast. Welcome aboard a travel package that gives you a glimpse into this vibrant and beautiful land.
Ajanta Caves
Ajanta and Ellora are the pride of Maharashtra. The rock-cut caves of both these sites are world famous and illustrate the degree of skill and artistry that Indian craftsmen had achieved several hundred years ago.
Ellora Caves
The cave temples and monasteries at Ellora, excavated out of the vertical face of an escarpment, are 26 km north of Aurangabad. Extending in a linear arrangement, the 34 caves contain Buddhist Chaityas or halls of worship, and Viharas.
Welcome to the city that never sleeps! Pulsating, Alive, On the Move, Vibrant, Fun -- this is Mumbai or as it is still frequently referred to --Bombay. The most modern city in India, it captures the spirit of the changing pace set by liberalization and modernisation.
122 kms from Nashik is the abode of one of Maharashtra's most revered saint -- Sai Baba of Shirdi. Popularly known as the 'Child of God', Sai Baba preached tolerance towards all religions and the message of universal brotherhood.

Psych – Humor and Hijinks
Psych is one of the few shows I began watching during my pre-internet-video days. My siblings found the first season at Target and I've been a fan ever since.
The show is chock full of funny moments that range from witty to physical comedy. Gus admirably plays the straight man to Shawn's outlandish hijinks, and their friendship feels real, which only heightens the hilarity.
I must admit, most of the 80s references go over my head. Though I'm a child of the 80s, I left the decade behind before turning 7, and a sheltered homeschool life hampered my pop culture knowledge further.
It's been a while since I've seen an episode, but that's simply because of the long wait between seasons (I hope to write about the show more in-depth once it comes back on). Season 6 doesn't even begin until October, but I recently read a fun article about what viewers can expect.
A Clue episode. I took a while to warm-up to the movie, but I think I'll love Psych's version of it, especially if they do bring back Tim Curry (my absolute favorite actor that plays I'm-evil-just-because-it's-fun villains).
A vampire episode. I really hope they do amazing stuff with this episode. They mentioned a bit of Buffy the Vampire Slayer homage, but since they're bringing in Kristy Swanson, it's to the movie, not the incredibly superior show. I hope they can at least bring in one or two characters from the show (James Marsters? Pretty please?), and I'm curious which iconic vampires Shawn and Gus will be dressing up as. (Please, no Twilight. Unless you really make fun of it.)
And there's an Indiana Jones episode. A musical episode. A baseball episode. A looney bin episode. A superhero episode. A cult episode (with Diedrich Bader – will be fun seeing him again since Outsourced isn't coming back). A new Despereaux episode.
I can't wait for October!
I was really at a loss for what category to put this show under. I ended up with crime drama, with all the murder and much of the show being set at a police station, but it could have just as easily fit under comedy. What do you think? If enough people think it should be under comedy, I'll move it!
Bonus: links to two new Psych promos and a music video!

I have to say this is probably my all-time favorite show. My family and I quote movies and TV shows ALL the time and Psych is the most quoted. I especially love the "Gus don't be a…" lines and the names Shawn makes up for Gus. "I've heard it both ways" is also a classic line. I absolutely can't wait until October!
Psych= awesomeness. My best friend and I are crazy about this show, since we can totally relate to Shawn and Gus' friendship (and goofy antics).
My birthday comes a couple days before the season premiere and I'd be totally fine with watching a psych marathon all day to prepare for the new season as a birthday present 🙂
Omg. an Indiana Jones episode. A musical episode. A superhero episode. A new Despereaux episode. OMG I can't wait!
Do ya'll have a fav episode? I think "American Duos" is the silliest.. when Shawn and Gus start singing.. it just kills me!! love love how they make fun of american idol 😉
Do you mind sharing your top five please? I'm going on a long trip soon, and I wanna download a few on my iPad 🙂 I haven't seen every episode of the season 1 and 2.
thanks a bunch! I downloaded Bounty Hunter and The Old and the Restless. Those two, plus a few of my favorite Castle episodes, made the road trip fly by so quickly!

So here is a completely off kilter post from me today. And it will be a bit shorter as well.
But after the last few conventions, and discussions with my son about gaming, I have begun to look at kid friendly games that he could be involved in.
So enter King of Tokyo! No miniatures, just cardboard cut outs. Some easy to read cards, bright colored dice, and a very simple board to play on.
Received this in the mail the other day, and last night I broke it out to give it a spin. It says it is for 2-6 players, 8+, and should take about 30 minutes. Gave it a go with the Mrs last night, and can say it can be played quite quickly with only 2 players, but with more players it can get quite a bit of fun!
To see more on the game, let's turn to Wil Weaton, as it seems he has a good video on it to show it off further.
My thoughts on the game are pretty much the same ( though I still need to watch the video fully! ).
However after playing it a few times ( we needed to play 3 to see best of with the game ), and I can see it can get quite tricky to manage when should you stay as the King of Tokyo City ( or Bay if more than 4 players ) and when to step down.
Winning comes in different ways though which is cool. We had one game where we won by staying in Tokyo City and going for stars as much as possible. Another was just to kill off the opponent as fast as possible, and aim for the attack results. And the last being a combination of them, whereby sitting on the city for a bit to gather some stars, before switching off to recover and make more stars through dice.
Sounds simple, and honestly it can be at the basic level. So junior will enjoy that. But I can see it getting quite interesting once you begin to gather up some energy tokens, and buying up some of the power cards! Things like gain extra stars for being in the city, or taking down the stars of all players except yourself. Or laying a massive smack down to all players outside of the city ( where you normally cannot attack ) etc..
Am looking forward to having a few people over and giving it a go with more than 2 people playing. I believe friendships will be tested with it, but not to the extent of Monopoly thankfully!
Expect more of these as more such games wing their way to me over the coming months.. I seem to have been bitten by the quick board game bug, so it could be interesting to see how this develops :)

'I don't think Cook has it in him to be a good captain'
Former Australia captain Ian Chappell believes struggling Alastair Cook is not good enough to lead the England team as he lacks fire power and the home team will convincingly win the one day series with the visitors looking "terible" on the field.
"I don't think Cook has it in him to be a good captain and he'll always struggle against an aggressive leader like Michael Clarke," Chappell told PTI in an interview.
Cook, 29, could only manage 246 runs in 10 Ashes innings and failed to inspire his side at crucial junctures, bringing his captaincy under scrutiny.
'The bowling without Broad lacks wicket-taking potential'
The Australian great said the English attack without pace bowler Stuart Broad lack wicket-taking ability and the hosts would continue to torment their opponents in the ongoing ODI series as well.
"Australia will comfortably win the ODI series. England is terrible in the field and the bowling without (Stuart) Broad lacks wicket-taking potential," said Chappell.
The change of format didn't change English fortunes as the Australian side inflicted yet another humiliating defeat in the first of the five ODIs on the tourists after the Ashes rout.
'Pietersen is one of the better England players'
England management have rested Broad for the first couple of matches. The fast bowler has had a decent series taking 21 wickets in the five Test matches.
Reports have emerged of breakdown of relations between Kevin Pietersen and the England team director, Andy Flower, raising clouds of uncertainty over the star batsman's future in the team but Chappell feels the 33-year-old was one the best in their ranks.
"Pietersen is one of the better England players. Why drop a good player?," he asked.
"I don't believe in fall guys - you either pick or drop players because you think they'll improve the side or they're having an adverse affect on the team."
'Australia will be really tested by South Africa'
After the limited-overs series, Australia have a tough overseas assignment in the form of world no. 1 Test nation, South Africa, and the 70-year-old said he is expecting a riveting series.
Chappell said Australia will be tested by the Proteas and will have to address their "shaky batting".
"Yes, Australia will be really tested by South Africa, as their batting is shaky and they can't expect the lower order to keep bailing them out.
"However, they have a strong attack, more versatile than South Africa, and Clarke is a far better captain than Smith. They'll be competitive," he concluded.

text: Methamphetamine (MA) is a potent, addictive psychostimulant that has dramatic effects on the central nervous system (CNS). The onset of methamphetamine use has been linked to heightened attention, and chronic methamphetamine use has been associated with deficits in different aspects of attention that can significantly persist into abstinence. Attention deficits in chronic methamphetamine users may be associated with severity of methamphetamine use, craving, relapse, and as a result, poor treatment outcomes. This review summarizes evidence that the continuity of attention deficits, especially during abstinence, should be considered as a potential target during methamphetamine use treatment. Implementing attention rehabilitation techniques during treatment may enhance motivation for treatment in chronic methamphetamine users, and may facilitate treatment adherence, craving control and promote relapse prevention. This issue has important clinical implications for enhancing treatment efficacy and as a result, increasing treatment outcomes.

I'll Be Your Lampshade
In happy news, Beulah have decided NOT to split after the next record and tour. In their own words, "We just read an online article that said we're gonna be breaking up after the release of our next record. This news made all of us so sad that we've decided to stay together until each of us die." No mention that the online article took the announcement directly from their own website… but anyway. Long live Beulah!
I installed Soulseek last night, as it appears to be the new P2P music-downloading software du jour. It's small and seems to work well – I just couldn't think of a damn thing I wanted to download. In fact, I went in and deleted a whack of mp3s I never listen to. But hopefully it'll be better than Kazaa, which is pretty much poop for finding the music I want to hear.
So happy Valentine's Day. More on that later.

Summer has begun in our world and that means 3 kiddos that need to be entertained. Sound familiar? But! I will still find time for me..or I might go crazy over the next 10 weeks.
Wanna know one way I'm gonna do that?
I was browsing Barnes and Nobles one day and came across this book:
I was intrigued...list making as a way of self-discovery? And I thought...."I L-O-V-E lists! But how can it help me discover anything? My lists are usually To-Do lists." (which usually only helps me discover how little time there is in a day!)
But as I opened the cover and started reading some of the topics, I realized there were a lot of things I didn't know about myself. Like..list the biggest turning points in your life...list all the activities you would do if you weren't so afraid...list your biggest dream and most recurring nightmare.
Have you ever thought of these things? I haven't.
And not all of them are super deep..some are ways to remember what you've forgotten ... Like " list everything you can remember from your parent living room growing up" or "list some important things you lost over the years."
And some...well...they're just fun: List the types of people you think should never get behind the wheel or List this regular everyday items you wish you never had to buy again.
Are you ready? Let's do this journey together....
Today's List: List the situations that always make you cry.
My list:
Break-ups in movies
Death of a child
People achieving their dreams
Feeling out of control
I'm excited to take this journey and hope your excited to take it with me!
And now....you didn't think I would leave you without a little creative inspiration did you?
Today on the Scrapbook News and Review Blog, it's Color Inspiration!
Can you be inspired by this:
I loved the unique color combo so I chose to focus on that for this Layout called "It's a small world" about the worldwide friends I've made through CHA.
You can't go wrong with Heidi Swapp and Pink Paislee, right?
Until next time my friends, let's continue on this creative life together...and discover all we can be.
God Bless.

It's definitely a new challenge for vessel owners operating in the North American ECA to prove that they are in compliance with the ECA standards.
Jeff Lantz, Director of Standards at the US Coast Guard, talks to Venture about his team's role in enforcing the new North American Emission Control Area (ECA ) regulations, ensuring vessel operators comply with the new stricter fuel emission controls.
On August 1, 2012, the North American Emission Control Area (ECA) entered into force. Every vessel operating within 200 nautical miles of most of the US and Canadian coastline must now use fuel oil with less than 1% sulphur. The task of ensuring that vessels comply with the new maritime legislation lies with the US Coast Guard, together with the US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA).
Jeff Lantz has worked for the US Coast Guard for over 30 years. He's quick to praise the ECA as a step in the right direction and is proud to play a role in 'policing' its enforcement. "Even though it might be a bit difficult initially and a little more expensive, it's well documented that the ECA will greatly help improve human life and the environment; it's a good thing."
During his career, besides writing commercial vessel, environmental, safety and security guidelines for the US maritime industry, and acting as a link between the IMO and the US maritime industry, Lantz is also responsible for reviewing ship designs to make sure they comply with marine regulations.
This experience helps him to see the implementation of the ECA through the eyes of the regulators and also of the shipping industry.
"It's definitely a new challenge for vessel owners operating in the North American ECA to prove that they are in compliance with the ECA standards," he admits. However, he is quick to add that it's not difficult for organised and professional vessels and crew to show via their bunker fuel records that they have the compliant fuel on board and have used this fuel in the ECA.
The real challenge, he believes, is whether the vessels can line up the necessary fuel for their ECA passage and making sure that they have logged the necessary administration work. "And, let's face it, the lower sulphur fuel is more expensive," he acknowledges. Every vessel calling at US ports will be examined once a year by the US Coast Guard as a general rule, and checks will be conducted on vessels in ports to monitor their fuel logbooks.
"The vessel has to have evidence that they have the right fuel and show they switched to their lower emission fuel when they entered the ECA," Lantz explains.
All information from vessel examinations, including ECA verification examinations, is stored in a database and used to build a track record per vessel and operator. There's good news for vessels with an excellent track record in compliance.
"Those that have a good record may not be examined so often," he confides. This means these vessels will face less delays. Vessels that don't comply with the new regulations will be penalised, but the severity of the penalty, according to Lantz, depends on the particular situation.
"Sometimes things happen on vessels that are beyond control e.g. if the scrubber breaks down or maybe it wasn't possible to obtain the eco-compliant fuel in a particular location, so we need to take this into consideration." While the US Coast Guard will make a full report of the ECA non-compliance, the EPA will determine the action to be taken based on the circumstances.
Does this mean that there is room for excuses to evade compliance? "No, we expect all vessels to comply with the ECA. All detected violations will be included in the vessel's and operator's history. Vessels with a history of non-compliance will be examined more often and more closely," he says firmly.
He believes professional shipping companies have been preparing for the ECA legislation for a long time making sure they have the right fuels on board and that their fuel switching equipment is in good order.
"Those that are more forward looking are probably better prepared but we expect all ships to comply," he warns.
The introduction of the ECA in North American waters is just the first step towards stricter maritime regulations in this region. The US Caribbean ECA comes into effect in 2014, and by 2016, all vessels must install special equipment to reduce their NOx emissions. However, the real challenge, Lantz believes, will come on January 1, 2015 when sulphur levels in ECAs will drop to 0.1%.
"This is the one which has the industry most concerned and which everyone is talking about, especially the availability of fuel."
1. US Coast Guard and EPA are responsible for enforcing the North American ECA regulations.
2. All vessels operating within 200 nautical miles of most of the US and Canadian coastline must switch to fuel oil with less than 1% sulphur content.
3. Vessels which violate the ECA regulations face a variety of penalties.
4. Those which breach regulations will be examined more frequently.
5. The North American ECA zone is the first step towards tighter maritime environmental controls in this region.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"What exactly are ingrown hairs and how do you make them go away?"
I have these red bumps on my legs and my girlfriend said that they are ingrown hairs. What is an ingrown hair exactly? Is there any way to make them go away or stop them from happening?
Ingrown hair is a benign condition that occurs when a shaved or tweezed hair curls back on itself and grows sideways into the skin, causing inflammation and irritation. When the hair is cut short and close to the skin, it creates a sharp tip that can more easily pierce the skin to cause an ingrown hair. The appearance of an ingrown hair includes (1) small, solid round bumps, (2) pus-filled, blister-like lesions, (3) skin darkening, (4) embedded hairs, and (5) pain and itching skin. While aggressive hair removal, such as shaving and waxing, is the leading cause of ingrown hairs, sometimes an ingrown hair occurs naturally as too much dead skin debris blocks the skin pore, forcing the hair to grow sideways and remain embedded in the skin. Treatment depends on what causes your ingrown hairs. If shaving is the cause, you may prevent ingrown hairs from happening by shaving when your skin is soften (i.e., after a shower or bath). It is also good idea to shave in the same direction of the hair. You can try a topical application such as a salicyclic acid solution which also aids dramatically in the treatment of the ingrown hair. Although ingrown hairs may resolve with some home remedies, complications such as bacterial infection of skin and permanent scarring can occur so it is good idea to have your red bumps evaluated by a primary care physician or dermatologist and treated by a professional if warranted. Your doctor can also rule out some other skin conditions that also give you red bumps, such as eczema or keratosis pilaris.

The Industrial Noise Warning Sign includes standard 4-20mA Current Loop outputs. These provide a signal that does not degrade due to resistance, allowing for longer cable runs, limited by the ability to drive the current.
There are two current loop outputs on the SoundEar 3 Industrial, so you can select two different parameters to monitor. Both outputs are set to the same measurement range, but you can select different parameters, as described below.
Each current loop output can be one of the following noise measurement parameters:
The overall measurement range of the SoundEar 3 Industrial is 30dB to 120dB. You can process this whole range over the current loop output, or you can select the range of interest.
In the example above, the first output is the average sound level every second (probably the most useful parameter available) while the second output is the average over a 15 minute period. A sound level of 50dB will be the minimum (4mA) and a sound level of 90dB will be the maximum (20mA).
The SoundEar 3 comes with two powering options: USB (5V) or 24VDC. When using the current loop output the unit must be powered by 24VDC, it will not work with the USB option. For convenience, the 24VDC power connections are on the same connector as the current loop outputs and ground.
At the rear of the noise warning sign there is a connector block - the green part on the image. This connector pulls out of its socket and contains screw terminals to connect the following:
