All of the white pieces between your pieces are then turned over to become black. In its turn, the computer plays in the manner with the white pieces.

I love the lemongrass recipe you have with oatmeal and green tea. My question is how can I use Goats milk instead of water? Or do I apply it additionally?
Thank you☺
Hi Cindy,
Thank you for contacting me.
Sydne Spencer was the master soap maker for this website. The lemongrass, oatmeal, green tea soap recipe was developed by Sydne. I am so glad you like it! Unfortunately, Sydne passed away and can no longer answer any soap making questions. It was important to Sydne that her soap recipes be followed precisely. Substituting, adding or deleting ingredients could change the final outcome of soap. Words of Wisdom - never substitute any oils, measure carefully and allow enough curing time.
Best Regards,
Susan :-)

text: This is the first time I've updated my photography branding since I started my business over 5-6 years ago. Back then I had no idea what my "brand" really was, I thought I had to fit myself into this wedding mould and keep up with the latest trend. If everyone was using soft pastel colours, that's ... READ the POST


text:
You see, when I started my Changing Oasis, my life had taken a downward turn. At that time I found myself being a displaced math teacher from the Chicago Public School system. Even with my credentials of more than 15 years of experience, a master's degree in leadership, and a license to become a principal, I was still let go. At the time I felt hurt and discouraged. But instead of letting that get me down, I decided to embrace it as a life lesson and use the situation as a bridge to help me get over to the right side of success. I also decided to use every lesson that I had ever taught my students to help myself and build my business. I can remember telling them that failure is not an option. In the same way I would push them to be the best, I began to push myself.
It was at that point I decided that I needed to rebuild not only my self-image, but also my spiritual being. So I took the money that I had often allocated as "my shoe money" and hired a coach. My coach taught me to focus on my inner strength and clean out old baggage, including my family. Now several years later, I'm looking better, feeling better, and even publishing my own books, and created joint ventures to partner with other inspiring authors that are looking to build their brand and increase their bottom line. I have my own online coaching and social media consulting company called Better Destination Media, Inc. Social Media Boutique—both in addition to my nonprofit, Changing Oasis, Inc. I learned from my second coach and after taking several courses in finance that it's never good to put all your eggs in one basket. With my several businesses, I've definitely seen an increase in my bottom line. While coaching played one big role in that increase, networking definitely helped take it to the next level.
This past year I started on a journey to increase my network and had several goals in mind. I wanted to increase awareness about my business brands, drive traffic to my special events, and generate PR buzz for all three of my businesses. In order to achieve these goals, I decided to create what I call The Beauty of Business, which represents the principles that I use to make a lasting impression on the people whom I meet. These principles are as follows:
Always keep your head shot and bio close by. You might be called upon at any time to talk on a panel or to be interviewed about your business. Also make sure you have written two to three press releases. This will help you when someone has to introduce you and they don't have a lot of time to research all that you do. If you have a network, be sure to promote and send your head shot to their website so that if someone wants to find out more you and your business, your image and name will pop up in the Google web imagine search. Find ways to become a speaker or expert in your field, and capitalize on every appearance.
Make sure your website is designed in a way that accurately represents your brand. If you are using a free website, you will be very limited. If you are using WordPress to build your community, there will be fees associated with it. If you want to get out there with little or no money, try Wix or Ning and create your fan page to match these initial designs. Keep your fan page updated and linked to your website. Your web presence and what you are writing is key to your communication with the world.
Create a professional business profile on LinkedIn and update it weekly using the FLIPboard app. This is one place you will love especially if you are a building all of your networks in one place. The one key thing that's really cool is that you can post any pictures from any of your social networks and build a magazine based on your ideas. You will be ready to take on mobile marketing because you will be able to use this app on your phone, iPad, and any technology that will let you upload the app. As my social networks helped me build my bottom line, I must advise you on the importance of using them to also build yours. It is critical that you plan your schedule and time your posts of your work on social media. What I've found by using the FLIPboard app is that I am able to do everything in one place and it saves me time and energy. Plus I don't feel like I am getting lost in the social media realm.
In everything that you do, always remember your WHY. Your why is going to be your driving force. It will be that thing that keeps you going and growing, so don't take for granted the importance of knowing what your why story is. Take some time to develop it and keep it close to you at all times. You will need it on those days that you feel like you want to quit.
Once I knew what I wanted to do, I decided to arm myself with my principles, and I jumped into immediate action. I did several things to accomplish my goals.
First, I joined the B.O.S.S. (Bringing Out Successful Sisters) network here in Chicago. Being a part of this network has enabled me to join a network of professional businesswomen and be featured as a businesswoman. I have also had the opportunity to expand my network and build with the women in the Chicago-land area. Just like with the Diva Millionaire's Club powered by the Network for Women in Business, I'm able to post, blog, add pictures, and promote my events. You are building your network around like-minded women.
Second, I started an online radio show for Changing Oasis, Inc., with Intellectual Radio and Blog Talk Radio. We wanted to create buzz and help build on the foundation of leadership, networking, community, and sisterhood. This form of media presence and networking allowed us to interview businessmen and businesswomen all across the United States, which also gave me the opportunity to learn from other entrepreneurs and connect outside of my usual circle of friends. I have been able to build partnerships in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, and Florida. Having an online radio show has helped us build our brand without having a large advertising budget, which is why I encourage everyone to use these tools to grow their business.
Last but not least, I developed a larger social media presence by creating a fan page for my not-for-profit business on Facebook and being on book tours speaking. As a result of creating this page, many of my fans are able to see more content and communicate socially with our brand. This is something that only took a few months to build. We did ours using pay-per-click and sponsored stories, paying a company to grow the number of our likes. In the process, I learned that you should tag your fan page whenever you are posting in groups and in your personal news feed. This helps build awareness, and you can run a contest and get people to come support your business.
All of this has helped us to increase our network as well as increase my bottom line. You can build yours too if you follow these techniques.

San Juan Bautista Mission
This mission church in Miami's Wynwood Neighborhood represents the combined efforts of parishioners, local professionals, and neighborhood residents. In conjunction with the Archdiocese of Miami, these individuals volunteered their time and resources over the course of six years to making the project a success, despite a non-existent budget. Included in this group were several university students who initiated the design and selflessly dedicated their time to its development.
The Mission works as a small outreach facility for the Catholic parish of Corpus Christi, which was fractured by the construction of a new highway in the 1960s. This physical barrier further distanced the community's poorer, more disenfranchised sectors. The Mission building affords these parishioners the opportunity to once again walk to church or other social events without having to drive to the main parish complex. While it functions primarily as a place of worship, it also provides numerous possibilities for neighborhood interaction by hosting a variety of activities, including those of other civic institutions. Finally, the Mission serves as a resource facility for the largely poor Latin American residents of the area, providing medical, legal, and financial counseling, as well as immigration advice.
The building's design clearly alludes to the traditional neighborhood churches of Latin America and the Caribbean, offering a courtyard as a refuge from the hectic urban environment outside. Located on a 50 ft x 104 ft lot, the building makes optimum use of its site with minimum side and rear setbacks and the placement of its front building at the edge of the sidewalk. This single-story wing houses an office and a small chapel. The front facade is a simple wall with modest decoration framing the entrance opening. The zaguan is a shaded vestibule that connects the street to a sun-lit, cloistered courtyard containing an octagonal baptismal fountain and a bell tower. The inner nave of the small church is in the shape of a cruciform with a centrally positioned altar. Large clerestory windows flood the space with light, and a figurative ceiling mural by a local artist provides a strong ornamental feature.
The Mission building has helped to foster civic pride and solidarity in the neighborhood and stands today as a monument to a shared sense of goodwill and hope for the community's future. It has become a catalyst for additional urban improvement projects, including a university-sponsored design charrette to masterplan the neighborhood's development.

Sales of new U.S. single-family homes unexpectedly rose in October, hitting their highest level in 10 years amid robust demand across the country.
The Commerce Department said on Monday new home sales increased 6.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 685,000 units last month. That was the highest level since October 2007 and followed September's slightly downwardly revised sales pace of 645,000 units.
New home sales have now increased for three straight months.
That together with last month's increase in homebuilding and sales of previously owned homes suggests the housing market could be regaining momentum after treading water for much of the year. Housing has been constrained by shortages of homes for sale, skilled labor and suitable land for building.
Activity was also temporarily restrained by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Housing has been a drag on economic growth since the second quarter.
September's new homes sales pace was previously reported at 667,000 units. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast new home sales, which account for 11 percent of overall home sales, falling 6.0 percent to a pace of 625,000 units last month.

In this article by Shahid Shaikh, author of the book Sails.js Essentials, you will learn a few basics of Sails.js. Sails.js is modern production-ready Node.js framework to develop Node.js web application by following the MVC pattern. If you are not looking to reinvent wheel as we do in MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and NodeJS (MEAN) stack and focus on business logic, then Sails.js is the answer.
Sails.js is a powerful enterprise-ready framework, you can write your business logic and deploy the application with the surety that the application won't fail due to other factors.
Sails.js uses Express.js as a web framework and Socket.io to handle the web socket messages. It is integrated and coupled in the Sails.js, therefore, you don't need to install and configure them separately.
Sails.js also has all the popular database supports such as MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and so on. It also comes up with autogenerated API feature that let's you create API on the go.
(For more resources related to this topic, see here.)
Brief about MVC
We know that Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a software architecture pattern coined by Smalltalk engineers. MVC separates the application in three internal components and data is passed via each component. Each component is responsible for their task and they pass their result to the next component. This separation provides a great opportunity of code reusability and loose coupling.
MVC components
The following are the components of MVC architecture:
The main component of MVC is model. Model represents knowledge. It could be a single object or nested structure of objects. The model directly manages the data (store the data as well), logic, and rules of the application.
As the name implies, task of a controller is to accept input and convert it into a proper command for model or view. Controller can send commands to the model to make changes or update the state and it can also send commands to the view to update the information.
For example, consider Google Docs as an MVC application, View will be the screen where you type. As you can see in the defined interval, it automatically saves the information in the Google server, which is a controller that notifies the model (Google backend server) to update the changes.
Installing Sails.js
Make sure that you have the latest version of Node.js and npm installed in your system before installing Sails.js.
You can install it using the following command:
npm install -g sails
You can then use Sails.js as a command-line tool, as shown in the following:
Creating new project
You can create a new project using Sails.js command-line tool. The command is as follows:
sails create appName
Once the project is created, you need to install the dependencies that are needed by it. You can do so by running the following command:
npm install
Adding database support
Sails.js provides object-relational mapping (ORM) drivers for widely-used databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. In order to add these to your project, you need to install the respective packages such as sails-mysql for MySQL, sails-mongo for MongoDB, and so on.
Once it is added, you need to change the connections.js and models.js file located in the /config folder.
Add the connection parameters such as host, user, password, and database name in the connections.js file. For example, for MySQL, add the following:
module.exports.connections = {
mysqlAdapter: {
adapter: 'sails-mysql',
host: 'localhost,
user: 'root',
password: '',
database: 'sampleDB'
In the models.js file, change the connection parameter to this one. Here is a snippet for that:
module.exports.models = {
connection: 'mysqlAdapter'
Now, Sails.js will communicate with MySQL using this connection.
Adding grunt task
Sails.js uses grunt as a default task builder and provides effective way to add or remove existing tasks. If you take a look at the tasks folder in the Sails.js project directory, you will see that there is the config and register folder, which holds the task and registers the task with a grunt runner.
In order to add a new task, you can create new file in the /config folder and add the grunt task using the following snippet as default:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Your grunt task code
Once done, you can register it with the default task runner or create a new file in the /register folder and add this task using the following code:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.registerTask('task-name', [ 'your custom task']);
Run this code using grunt
In this article, you learned that you can develop rich a web application very effectively with Sails.js as you don't have to do a lot of extra work for configuration and set up. Sails.js also provides autogenerated REST API and built-in WebSocket integration in each routes, which will help you to develop the real-time application in an easy way.

While having a walk on a sunny London evening in 2016, the brothers Dayan and Dino Nikolov got an insight - the on-demand delivery industry is growing fast and every bike needs a delivery box. So they came up with a simple idea - make it easy for everyone to get a box!
What started as a small workshop in London's Bethnal Green, to only serve the local delivery riders' community, is now assisting thousands of riders across the UK with delivering food and parcels to millions of people. With a highly integrated process of production, storage and distribution, we guarantee constant supply availability at low cost.
We partner with dozens of motorcycle and bicycle workshops across London and the UK where riders could go and get a delivery box fitted. We also directly supply food and parcel delivery companies with delivery box kits that best suit their fleets.

Colombia extends cease-fire with country's largest rebel group in bid to salvage peace deal rejected by voters. https://t.co/sIRK4bN9yt— The Associated Press (@AP) October 14, 2016
Colombia's president on Thursday announced ceasefire extension with FARC rebels until Dec 31.
Colombia: Give peace a chance
Nobel Peace Prize winner President Juan Manuel Santos announced Thursday that he is extending a ceasefire with Colombia's largest rebel movement in a bid to give more time to efforts to save a peace deal rejected by voters.
Santos said in a televised address that he was extending by two months the ceasefire with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, until Dec. 31.
"Let it be clear: this isn't an ultimatum or deadline," Santos said.
"@JuanManSantos anuncia que el cese al Fuego con las @FARC_EPueblo va hasta el 31 de octubre" ¿De ahí para adelante continúa la guerra?— Rodrigo Londoño (@TimoFARC) October 5, 2016
Earlier this month, Santos and FARC leaders agreed to ceasefire until the end of October.
When will the ceasefire end?Santos, winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, is engaged in three-way talks with the FARC and Colombia's political opposition to find ways to adjust the accord so that it enjoys broader support.
He said the lives of soldiers and guerrillas depended on warfare not resuming.
"Time is conspiring against peace and life."
However, some of the rebels who have fought to negotiate with the government are worried the accord would mean throwing out years of work.

The Perils of a Footballer's Lifestyle
" Troubled Rangers defender Fernando Ricksen is to check into a London clinic that helps tackle alcoholism, drug abuse, gambling and depression."
Your playtime becomes a hobby, your hobby becomes a career, your career becomes a way of life. You start for the love of the game, but before you've completed puberty you're earning thousands. Early twenties, and you're commanding multi-million pound fees for the transfer of your services. You strive to be the best, but unlike the majority, you make it.
Suddenly, you're at the top, and you're surrounded by people saying how wonderful you are and paying you ridiculous amounts of money for the privilege. Through no fault of your own, you've become a member of the elite, cut off from the reality of bills, 9-5, queues and chores. Millions of pounds and nothing you need to spend it on, you personify the culture of excess – as much of anything you could ever want, wherever and whenever you want.
But even the elite with extraordinary talents are still human. They have failings, weaknesses and are susceptible to temptation, but just as importantly, are physically capable of withstanding the same as any Tom, Dick or Harry. If you abuse you body with substances and toxins and your mind with addictions and lies, then you are as susceptible to collapse if you are paid £4/hr or £40,000/wk.
In fact, if you have the money, you are more at risk. You frequently hear Time = Money, and like all accurate equations, the reverse is true – Money = Time. If you have the unlimited money, you have the extra time since you don't have to spend 85% of your life concentrating on trying to pay your bills. Extra time + piles of cash = the opportunity to do all sorts of crazy things to yourself.
In terms of temperament and beliefs, there is no reason why I am more or less likely to snort myself into a coma every night than your bog standard millionaire footballer. However, if I did decide powder was the answer to my life's problems, then it would have severe repercussions on me and my life, regardless of how it affected my body. The expenses incurred and subsequent debt, the (in)ability to do my job properly, the impact on friends and family all mean that that if I made that lifestyle choice it would quickly leave a mark.
If a footballer decides that tonight would be best filled turning his arm into a pin cushion, then he can, and with limited affects on his life. Financially, he would hardly notice, and as far as affecting his work is concerned, the impact is much less than if you were a teacher, a receptionist or a manager. There would be an impact on his friends and family, but there's a good chance that a number of those would also be indulging in similar ways.
In the real world, the affects of alcoholism, drug abuse and gambling are profound and immediate. For a footballer, the first time reality really kick in, is when his body gives up, which is why you are so much more likely to see a Premiership footballer checking into the Priory than I am.
All of us have the same motive – it's just they have the means and the opportunity.

Israel arrests 'terror plot' Palestinians
Date: 6/27/2011
JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israel's Shin Bet internal security service said on Monday it had detained more than 20 Palestinians in Ramallah and annexed east Jerusalem on suspicion of planning attacks against Israelis.
The agency said the men belonged to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and were planning to kidnap Israelis, to acquire weapons to carry out shooting attacks and to kidnap a wealthy Palestinian land dealer to fund their plans.
"The Shin Bet together with the army and police has over the last two months foiled the establishment of a Popular Front military cell in the Ramallah area," a Shin Bet statement said.
Five of the detainees were named, including the alleged ringleader –– 40–year–old Nasser Abu Khadir, a resident of east Jerusalem "with a rich history of terror activity."
The statement said many of those detained had previously been jailed by Israel for involvement in attacks.
"The members of the cell were arrested after they had already begun preparations for carrying out attacks. This included recruiting members and buying arms," the statement said.
"The arrests before they could fulfil their goals prevented a series of attacks," it said.
The statement did not say if charges had been brought against any of them, but that "the investigation was continuing."
More than 270,000 Palestinians live in east Jerusalem, which was occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed shortly after, in a move not recognised by the international community.
Very few of them hold Israeli citizenship although Palestinian residents of the city enjoy special status which allows them free movement throughout Israel, unlike those from the West Bank.

The company has documented and introduced an environmental management system according to ISO 14001:2015. Its main tools are:
This set of measures contributes to not only a more environmental friendly production, but also energy efficiency and productivity of labor. Replacement of obsolete equipment, investment in world-class production capacity and environmentally sound technologies provide continuous improvement of parameters of air emissions, solid waste and energy consumption.
The EMS is an integral part of the integrated management system of NIPOM. The compliance of the integrated management system with ISO 9001 and the compliance of the environmental management system with ISO 14001 were confirmed by the successful technical inspection conducted by the Certification Association "Russian Register" in December of 2016.
We are constantly performing work aimed at energy savings through the safe and efficient energy consumption management in order to conserve energy and improve the energy efficiency of our production activities. The main tool to decrease the operation costs of power equipment is the energy resource management system (ERMS). The system enables to collect relevant information about all cost sources, analyze and further plan them. Based on these data, it is possible to take corrective action aimed primarily at decrease of power consumption and cost reduction. Even if the product output increases by several times, with an annual increase of tariffs of all energy sources by 10-15%, energy costs do not increase due to a competent energy resource management.

Bound by Duty
by Trey Smith
"Sure you wouldn't like some coffee, Marshal Mercer?"
Jeb Owens was finishing off his third cup and aiming to have one or two more if he could. The look Marshal Jack Mercer answered his question with told him he was to be disappointed. He sighed, stood with all the weight of his sixty two years, and poured a bucket of water over the fire.
"You know that girl ain't goin' nowhere, Marshal. Never does unless she's going into Terlingua for groceries."
Mercer was already unhitching his horse from the remnants of an old wood fence and preparing to mount it. Owens shook his head and spit before gathering up the rest of his belongings. They had camped there the night before, just a mile from the girl's house so as not to come upon her in the night and spook her. She lived alone out here and if talk was to be believed she was more likely to shoot you than offer you a greeting at night. So they made camp, though it was clear Mercer wasn't happy about it.
Owens doubted the marshal got any sleep last night due to worrying himself about getting out to see that girl. Such impatience made no to sense to Owens who had always believed to take life slowly. In all his sixty plus years of living under God's grace he had never deviated from this philosophy, and he was too old to even think of changing.
"Impatient old cuss, ain't ya, Marshal?"
"Mount up and let's go talk to this girl."
By the time Owens mounted his horse, the marshal was already on his way back toward the trail.
Marshal Jack Mercer was young and showed it in his demeanor. He was handsome, with a black mustache that, while not impressive, fit him well. His eyes were calm and blue. Some said there was a hint of coldness in them, but calculating was probably a more accurate description. He seemed eager to prove himself, bound by the duty of his office as only one so young could be. He did his job and did it well, never deviating from whatever course he set himself upon until he saw it through to completion. He operated only in full measures.
Owens had been hired to show the marshal out to an old homestead house a few miles out of Terlingua. A young girl by the name of Ellie Carver lived there alone. Ms. Carver was the sister of The Carver Brothers, three boys who had been robbing stages up along the Rio Grande for the past two months. The Carvers were a mining family who came to Terilingua some years ago. The mother had died on the journey, the father killed in a raid by Mexican bandits a few years after they had settled. After the death of the father the boys took up to thieving and had earned quite a reputation of being good at it.
"What you want to talk to that girl about anyway?"
"That doesn't concern you, Mr. Owens."
"Hell. I bet it's about them brothers of hers."
Owens was long retired, having lived his life as a miner. Nowadays he was more often than not posted up at the local saloon. These days his business usually tended to be gossip.
Again Marshal Mercer would disappoint him.
When they arrived at the homestead the girl was standing out on the porch holding a rifle. The marshal showed no concern but that didn't make Owens feel any better. He was worried that the brothers were holed up in there and that the whole damn family was ready to shoot it out to keep them from hanging. He watched the marshal as he calmly climbed down from his horse, tied it to a hitch, and slowly made his way across the yard to the porch of the girl.
Owens decided it would be better to let the marshal conduct his business and thus intended to stay on his horse.
Mercer stopped at the porch and tipped his hat to the Carver girl. She was small but looked strong. The heavy rifle she had no trouble bearing confirmed that she was tougher than she looked. She wore defiance as natural as a church hat on Sunday, but he saw no fear or concern on her face. That meant her brother's weren't likely here. He turned his back to her and leaned up against one of the porch posts, hoping to relax her a bit. He still kept a sly eye on her, though.
She lowered her gun, "What do you want?"
"I just have a few questions about your brothers."
Her grip tightened on the gun but she did not raise it again, "I haven't seen them in years."
"Lying isn't a good way for us to start off knowing each other, Ms. Carver."
"I ain't lyin'. That's about all I got to say to you."
She sat the rifle down by the door, picked up a weave basket filled with dirty laundry and stepped down off the porch toward the washtub. As she passed Mercer his hand shot out and grabbed her wrist. He twisted it, no so much to hurt her, but to knock the basket of clothes out of her hand. They spilled across the dirt.
"What in the hell did you do that for?"
He bent over to help her gather the clothes up. As he did he went through them without shame.
"You're a brazen man, you know that?"
Mercer picked up a pair of pants, "You often wear men's pants that are too big for you?"
Carver snatched the pants from his hands and threw it back into the bundle. Her face was flushed and the look in her eyes told Mercer that she was deciding between shooting him and cussing him. She settled on neither and just marched out toward the washtub.
Mercer watched her go and then followed her. He knew she wouldn't give them up, he had expected as much. He just needed to know how often she saw them and when she saw them last. If she was washing some of their clothes that told him they came here often enough. Maybe every couple of months, if not more.
"Ms. Carver, do you have any idea where your brothers might be holed up? I'm trying to help them."
"You're trying to hang them."
"It might come to that, yes. But there will be a trial first."
"Don't give me none of that. They'll hang and you know it. Besides, I already told you I don't know where they are."
"I know you did. And I said you were lying."
"I don't give a damn what you say or think. I think you should go."
Mercer grabbed her again and threw her to the ground. When she tried to get up and put his boot down onto her hand. He watched her for a few moments, saw the anger in her eyes, the wish to see his blood spilled across the desert. To see the birds peck the flesh from his bones as they bleached in the sun. He knew she'd never give them up and would die to save them. She would see him dead before she saw any harm come to them.
"You know they'll kill a man soon. When they do it will be too late."
She said nothing, but looked away. He pulled her up and turned back toward his horse.
"Thank you, ma'm."
"You son of a bitch!"
When Mercer climbed up on his horse he noticed Owens looked quite perplexed. That was fine. Let the old fool think on things for a bit, maybe that would shut him up. He had learned all he could from the girl. She had just seen them, the hot anger she felt when he had gotten violent told him the story better than her words ever would. She was worried about them, she knew they would die, her emotions were mixed up more than a virgin's with his first hooker. They were raw because she had just seen them, they had likely just told her they planned to keep on robbing stages.
Good, he thought. Let them keep robbing. I'll find them and I'll see them brought to justice.
Mercer met his partner Bill Foster at a hotel in Alpine, Texas, about 80 or so miles north of Terlingua. They were having breakfast at the hotel when the news came. A telegraphed message had come for the marshal and was to be delivered immediately. Mercer was dragging a dry biscuit through bacon grease when a small, ink stained boy came running in with it.
The marshal read it slowly, Foster following his eyes as they moved methodically over the page. With each word Mercer's face seemed to grow more solemn. When he finished he crumpled the letter up, waved its bearer away, and went outside. Foster tipped a coin to the boy and then followed.
"The hell happened, boss?"
Mercer rounded on him, "The sons of bitches killed someone."
"The Carvers."
"Round up a posse. We're going out for them."
Early the next morning Mercer, Foster, and six other men rode out of Alpine down toward Presidio on the Rio Grande. The boys had robbed a stage that had set out from there toward Fort Davis. At first it was believed to be Mexican bandits who had jumped the border, but one of the survivors had disputed the story and said it was two young white boys with a third holding back with the horses. When shown a drawing of the Carver boys the survivor had reckoned it was the boys.
A few days later they arrived in Presidio. Mercer dismounted first and set off toward the sheriff's office. The boys in the posse looked toward the saloon, the never-ending dryness of a long desert ride having made them thirsty for booze and other things. McDade, a big barrel-chested man with a beard to match, had boldly begun to hitch his horse on one of the posts when Mercer, his keen senses kicking in, noticed.
"I don't want any drinking while those boys breathe."
That was all he needed to say. McDade and some of the others muttered curses under their breath, but settled for drinking water near the stables.
The Presidio sheriff was old but still wily. He lived in a hard land, with bandits from both sides and revolutionaries from the South causing him no end of problems. He was tall and dark and a bit portly, but his movements were deliberate and hinted at a man who got things done, though maybe a bit slower than he used to.
"Yeah, it was them boys alright, as I said in my telegraph. But I don't know where they have gotten off to. I reckoned they were holed up in an old cave a few miles out of town. Damn place is always used by their sort. But by the time me and the boys rode out, they weren't there."
Mercer said nothing. He was scanning the horizon east. The cave was west, but he couldn't help but think the boys were heading back to their sister.
"Any signs that they may have traveled east?"
The sheriff looked perplexed, "East? Hell, I don't think so. Could be though."
Mercer nodded, "Can one of your men show me out to the cave?"
"Why I'd be happy t—"
"One of your men would suffice."
The sheriff shrugged, "Fine."
The cave was shallow and set into some rocks facing south toward Mexico. It was littered with the remains of many campfires and men. The sheriff's boy told Mercer they had killed many a bandit here. The American's they took up to the cemetery, the Mexican's they left for the vultures. The men Mercer was after were still living, he had no interest in bones.
"They haven't been here in at least two or three days." He turned and mounted his horse, "They are long gone."
Foster leaned forward in his saddle, "You sure, boss?"
"Yeah. They are going back to their sister."
"How do you know?"
"They just killed a man. They are scared. And they damn sure should be."
Billy Carver was shaking as he took a drink of whiskey from a dusty bottle. His older brother Tom stood by the window and their younger brother Jess slept in their sister's bed, tears still staining his dirty face. Ellie was fussing with food, though Billy didn't think he could eat a lick of it. Not since he had killed that man. Even though that man had skinned on him first, he hadn't slept hardly a wink and had barely managed to keep down any food. He started when his brother spoke.
"We can't stay here much longer."
Ellie didn't turn from the stove, "You'll stay here as long as you need to."
"That marshal is likely to come back."
"He don't know you're here yet. Anyway, you said yourself he'd likely ride toward Presidio first and that means he's at least a week from coming."
"Hell, who knows how a lawman's brain works, Ellie? He could be riding up right now."
Billy's eyes jerked toward the window full of fear.
Tom was watching him, "We should go out to the old Jesup place. It has served us well in the past. Like when that bastard Marshal first rode out."
Ellie turned with a pan full of eggs and bacon, "Do what you will, but I want you to eat first. Or at least Jess. I don't like you dragging him along."
Tom scowled at her, "Keep out of our business, woman."
Ellie rounded on him, "Maybe you shouldn't go about killing people, then."
Tom was stricken, Billy got up and rushed out the door, and Jess woke up and started crying again.
Billy stood by a tree throwing up food that wasn't there. He wondered what you threw up when you had nothing on your stomach. The thought made him heave again. He couldn't take it. He didn't mind the robbing at first, it was great fun when they started. No lawman or the laws they went on about had ever done them any good. They made their own way, like Pa did, or so Tom had told him. No one ever got hurt and Tom promised no one ever would. Sure, it could happen, if someone skinned on you, you had to shoot them. It was a matter of survival. But it would probably never happen
Except it did.
Someone touched Billy's back and almost jumped out of his skin. It was just Tom. The touch turned into a grip.
"I messed up." Tom said softly.
"We both did."
Mercer arrived a few days later with Foster, McDade, and the five other men. The Carver Brothers were gone and Ellie Carver stood waiting on the porch again, gun in hand. She looked paler than before. The defiance was gone and she looked scared. All eight men climbed down from the horses and approached the house.
"I don't reckon you can shoot all of us." McDade chuckled.
"Ms. Carver."
She lowered the gun and put it back by the door.
"I reckon you oughta come in."
He nodded and told his men to hang back. Foster didn't like it, but he had long since learned not question Jack's ways. It didn't do any good to.
The house was small. Just one room with a kitchen, table, and a bed. Four clay bowls were stacked on the stove and four chairs pulled up around the table. It didn't necessarily mean the boys had been here, but he was sure they had.
He allowed her to sit first and then followed, never taking in eyes from hers. She tried to give him back in kind, but hers faulted and found the floor.
"I know they have been here."
"They haven't."
"They have killed a man now. Just like I said they would."
These words hit her hard, but not hard enough. She knew. Whether she heard it from town or the boys first, he knew she had seen them.
"Where are they?"
"I haven't seen them in weeks."
He slammed his fist so hard down onto the table that it seemed as if it'd split in two, "Don't lie to me, dammit! I know they were here and you're gonna tell me where they are."
She suddenly turned defiant again, "And what if I don't?"
"Woman, I'm a US Marshal. I'm hunting three fugitives on a federal judge's orders. They are now also responsible for killing a man. I will have them. I know you know where they are, and you are going to tell me."
"Words. Just more words."
Mercer regarded her coolly for a few moments, before saying quietly, "Is that how it's going to be?"
"Yes, marshal, that is how it's going to be.
He stood and walked out the front door. Ellie felt a heavy weight upon her chest, she sunk down in her chair and threatened to cry. It was all too much. The boys, this marshal. Why couldn't things go back to how they used to be? The boys playing, hunting, and laughing. Papa cleaning rabbits while mama did the laundry. Everything seemed so small then and she didn't know that it was her whole world and was to be cherished until it was all gone.
Jack Mercer reappeared as fast as he had left her, flanked by McDade and another man. He instructed them to take Ellie. She fought and screamed but it did her no good. They drug her out of the house and toward a dead tree on the edge of the property. Another man was tying a noose to one of the limbs. Foster stood nearby, his face downcast. Mercer lead his own horse just below the noose.
"Ellie Carver, by the power invested in me by the United States government I sentence you to hang. The crime of which you are accused is the aid of known murderers."
She was stunned. He couldn't do this. She was just trying to protect her brothers. Just trying to cling to the last pieces of her shattered world.
"Marshal . . . "
He stepped close, was there a hint of remorse in those blue eyes?
"Will you tell me where they are?"
"I can't."
He gripped her arm, "They killed a man. Does that mean nothing to you, woman? That man was a father, a husband. He had people who depended on him. And they shot him down and left him bleeding in the dirt. Does that mean nothing to you?"
"It . . . I don't . . . "
The grip tightened, pleading, "Tell me where they are."
"I can't."
Mercer released his grip and stepped away from her, their eyes locked for a moment before he spoke.
The big man picked her up with ease and sat her on the horse. He then placed the noose around her neck. She looked out on the desert. Not toward the Jesup Farm so as to betray her brothers, but out toward the road that lead her family to this place. She was going to die. However horrible that thought seemed at least she would leave this world knowing that they were still in it. She hoped they would escape, hoped that they would run as far away as they could and escape this bastard of a man. She wanted them to start anew, to be happy again like they once all had been.
As the rope tightened she knew this would never be.
Tom Carver learned of his sister's fate while buying food and collecting water from a roadside saloon near Jesup Farm. When he first learned the news his blood ran cold and he felt sick. As is normal for any man who drinks, and often those who do not, when bad news is learned, a bottle is found. The first few shots made him angry, the rest gave him a purpose. He was going to ride out and kill every single man that had any part in his sister's death. To tear them apart with his bare hands, dig into their skin, splinter their bones, and rip the very souls from their vessels.
But first he needed one more shot.
He was drunk enough to believe he could kill eight men alone when Billy found him. Billy begged him to return to the farm. There was no sense in getting killed on a fool's errand. They needed to all talk things over as brothers. Tom had no need for talk, but in the end he relented.
After sleeping off the drink Tom groggily climbed from bed and buried his head in his hands.
"I still mean to kill the son of a bitch."
Billy was sitting by the empty window staring out across the desert. The heat rising from the sands was palpable. He could feel it rising up into him., engulfing him.
"I think we should turn ourselves in."
"What!? Are you plumb out of sense?"
"No. We need to turn ourselves in for Jess."
"You stupid son of a bitch, they want to hang Jess, too!"
"I know, goddammit! But he had no part in the murders or the robberies. He always stayed back with the horses. If we could convince the marshal . . . "
"The marshal who hung our sister!? He killed an innocent girl to find us, what makes you think he has any sort of mercy on his mind?"
"Then we'll convince someone else! He ain't the only lawman who walks the earth."
Tom swore and reached for the bottle. It was empty and he knew Billy had poured it all out. He smashed the bottle against the wall and headed outside into the heat.
Marshal Jack Mercer was sitting at a table in the Terlingua saloon drinking a small whiskey. He had never considered himself a drinking man, but he felt drawn to it today. The heat down in this part of Texas was near unbearable. He didn't see how a man could live in it. So he rationalized that it must be the drink that allowed them to. And so he drank.
The note came in the night and was waiting for him at the bar the next day. He gave the proprietor a long look for not waking him with the news, but said nothing. He left to find Foster.
"You think its a trap?"
"I don't know. Don't care much. This is our chance."
"You just gonna up and kill them?"
Mercer regarded him coolly, "No, I'm going to arrest them."
Foster spit in the dirt and let his eyes wander from Mercer's, "Well, hell, I don't know, boss. I don't like it. They say they are coming armed."
"Let them. A bullet will get them in the bone yard a lot quicker than hanging."
"What do you reckon they want to discuss?"
"I don't care."
Foster nodded to show his lack of surprise.
Mercer handed him two pieces of paper, "Wire for the nearest judge and tell him we are in need of him. Tell him time is an issue. Then take the other note out into the desert and put it under a rock near the hanging tree."
He walked off without another word.
Tom and Billy Carver rode into town just before noon three days later. They were heeled as promised, but didn't pull even when Mercer stepped out from the saloon to greet them. They both felt anger boil up inside them. Though they had never met Mercer they knew him to be the man who had hung their sister. The calm eyes that watched their every move, calculating them before they even knew they'd make them. The arrogance of keeping his hand away from the gun half-hidden beneath his black coat. The pure hatred that emanated from his very presence.
Another man met them and invited them into the saloon, they were wary at first.
"We aren't going to shoot you, boys. You wanted to talk, we talk in there."
Tom nodded and they followed them through the swinging doors.
Mercer sat first then invited the boys to sit across from him, Foster hovered behind Mercer looking uneasy.
"Mr. Mercer, is it?" Billy asked.
Mercer said nothing.
Tom's face grew dark, but Billy put a hand on his arm.
"Me and my brother, we are willing to turn ourselves in. Just let our younger brother go, he didn't have no part in any of this."
"You killed a man. In your last robbery."
"He gave us no choice. He tried to kill us."
"So it was you or him?"
"That's right."
"Funny how that is. But it always comes to that. When you walk down that path, it always comes to that."
"Listen, if you just let our little brother go . . . "
"I'm not going to do that. The order from the judge is to bring all three of you in. And I intend to do that. And if found guilty all three of you will hang."
"You son of a bitch!"
Tom went for his gun. He was quick, but not quick enough. Mercer stood and kicked the table at the both of them. Tom fell out of his chair, while Billy was jammed between another table. Mercer took aim and shot at Billy, who managed to get free, but not before a bullet pierced his shoulder. He cried out and fell to the ground. Tom picked up his pistol and shot at Mercer, who jumped behind another table. A bullet splintered the wood near his face, Tom cursed and jumped up, pulling Billy out of the bar with him as bullets flew and men began to come from the upstairs of the saloon.
Tom helped Billy onto his horse and then mounted his own. They rode around the back side of the saloon. A side door kicked open and Foster came out, pistol skinned and aimed at Billy's head. Tom fired first, shooting Foster at close range, he fell back against the door and then to the ground.
Tom and Billy took off into the desert.
Mercer stood regarding Foster's body as men came to carry it away. He turned and walked out of the alley and to the post office across the street. There he posted up in a chair to wait for the stage. He tipped his hat over his eyes and began to hum an old campfire song.
When the judge arrived later that evening he listened to Mercer's account of what had happened. He didn't like the way Mercer let the boys have their say, he saw no sense in a wolf toying with its prey. The boys should have been arrested on sight. Mercer agreed that he had messed up, but still wished to bring the boys to justice.
"You're the only lawman worth a damn near here, so I reckon you'll have to do. But I want no mistakes this time, Mercer. Hang them when you find them. They've killed two now, one a respected lawman."
The judge left Mercer in the growing shadows of Terlingua's main street.
The sun rose early the following morning. The heat was with it and it was the worst it had been all summer. Mercer had slept badly the night before, but was up early anyway. He had a coffee at the small hotel next to the saloon and then waited for his men to wake up. For a moment he included Foster, but then realized that he would never wake up again.
He had sent out three men to track the boys with instructions to only find and watch them. He knew one was gravely injured, so they wouldn't get far. They'd find solace in their hiding place, refusing to believe that they could be discovered so as to find time they didn't have to tend to their brother. He would likely never have a better opportunity to catch them.
When his men were up he didn't allow them breakfast. He wanted them angry, he wanted them going at these boys with everything in them. He didn't think it would take that, but then again he never operated in half measures.
They rode out as the town was beginning its daily routine. A few men shouted encouragement, most watched them gravely. Several children chased them in hero worship. McDade winked at a whore or two.
Jesup Farm looked like a mirage in the heat. There were no sign of the boys, but Mercer knew they were there because of the three horses tied out back. He directed his posse to surround the small homestead at various outcroppings around it and then found his own spot closer to the house.
McDade called out, "Boys! It's the law! Come on out without your guns or we will be forced to come in an' kill ya."
It wasn't eloquent, but it would do. McDade had a booming, savage voice. Hopefully that shook the boys up a bit more. It also allowed Mercer's location to remain secret.
A rifle stuck out of a window and fired a few pot shots. The men returned a few in kind but no one was hit on either side.
Mercer crouched low and moved closer to the house. He could hear them whispering now. Could hear the quiet sobs of the youngest brother, the curses of the oldest, and the raspy prayers of the one he had shot.
The boy was dying, but Mercer would not allow him to just yet. All of them would hang, all of them would face the justice coming to them. They would not find reprieve even in death.
He could hear the other brother loading his rifle and he whistled. Before Tom could finish he leaped through the window as another man burst through the front door. Tom dropped his gun and threw his hands up. Billy was lying on the bed with the stench of death on him. He was pale and drenched in sweat. Jess kneeled beside him holding a muddy rag to his brother's forehead.
Tom begged Mercer to spare his younger brother. All the fight had been beaten out of him just as Mercer knew it eventually would. Boys without the stomach for the work they chose should stay at home and take on more suitable work. Mercer himself had no stomach for the begging words of known killers. He ordered McDade and the rest in and had them escort the boys out. When he found Billy could barely stand he had McDade hold him up.
McDade coughed at the foul stench from the boy's shoulder, "Boss, I don't see no trees around to hang these boys in, but I reckon this porch beam is high enough for'em."
Mercer nodded and so the men set to work.
Tom, Billy, and Jess stood before him with nooses around their necks and rotting chairs beneath their feet. Tom was silent in his defiance, while Billy looked dead already, and Jess cried loudly.
Mercer wore a grim look of satisfaction at another job done.
The men kicked the chairs from underneath them and they all hung.
Mercer was at home, in a small homestead just outside of El Paso. He had a meager supper and drank a cup of coffee out on the porch. He then broke out an old bottle of whiskey Foster had given him as a birthday present years ago. He enjoyed it straight from the bottle while watching the sun set. It felt good watching as the heat faded from the day and cool whiskey enveloped him. When he was cold, numb, and drunk he decided it was time for bed.
After a fashion he fell into a deep sleep. He dreamed the sun was before him, illuminating the darkness and warming his face. As long as it was up, guiding his way, his path through the void was sure. However, he knew it would not stay in the sky forever, and already it was starting to set.

Wacom has announced the second generation of its professional graphics tablet range, Intuos2.
Five sizes of tablet are available - A6, A5, A4, A4 oversize and A3. Eight different input devices are also available.
Wacom has enhanced its technology; the input devices have been given an ergonomic redesign, and the product's colour is now deep purple.
Input devices are accurate to within +/- 0.25mm and sensitive to up to 1,024 levels of pressure.
The Intuos2 Grip Pen has a wider rubberized grip, its weight has also been adjusted for more comfort and increased control. It hosts a fully programmable double-sided switch and a pressure sensitive tip and eraser. A conversion kit that dispenses with the on-pen switch for those who don't use it is also available.
The Intuos2 2D mouse has been overhauled, and new models are available as an extra. Each A5 and A6 tablet ships with a 2,540dpi cordless, ball-free three-button mouse with a scrolling wheel. Both mice and pens are rotation-sensitive, and can be used simultaneously for advanced users. A 4D mouse is also available, with more buttons and an optional lens-cursor for accuracy.
Wacom's new input devices exploit a different radio frequency than Intuos1, so are incompatible with earlier products from the company. All input devices are software-customizable, and Wacom's driver software can be configured to recognize a number of different devices, remembering individual user and application settings for each device. Both mouse speed and acceleration are controllable, and the solution offers absolute positioning.
Split-Tablet mode is another new feature. Users may employ the main tablet area for detailed work, navigating across the screen via the second smaller area on the tablet.
The top of the range Intuos2 A3 graphics tablet costs £600 and ships with the top-of-the-range mouse and pen and Corel Painter Classic. The oversized A4 option costs £405, and ships with Painter and the 4D Mouse and Grip Pen. The A4 option ships with Painter, mouse and pen and costs £365. The A5 tablet includes Painter, Mouse and Pen and costs £255. The smallest tablet in the range, the A6, ships with the same, and costs £140.
CAD versions of the larger tablets are also available; the A3 costs £540; and the A4 oversize is £370. Both ship with a lens cursor, but not Corel Painter Classic.

Experts warn that it's dangerous to craft immigration laws on a basis of fear, rather than facts. They note that this can happen, as immigrants are sometimes painted as likely criminals and laws get voted in because people believe they're helping to keep crime down.
In reality, that's far from the case. In fact, study after study has shown that native people are more likely to commit crimes than immigrants. This is true both for those who immigrated legally and those who come into the country without documentation. It is true no matter what level of education these individuals have. It is true no matter what country they come from.
Regardless of the variables, the statistics show that immigrants simply don't commit crimes as often as people born in the United States.
In fact, in more than two decades, it was shown that a rise in immigration coincided with a drop in crime. From 1990 to 2013, the population of immigrants in the U.S. jumped from 7.9 percent all the way to 13.1 percent. Unauthorized immigrants started out with a population of 3.5 million and then more than tripled, rising all the way to 11.2 million.
Those are huge increases, but the violent crime rate not only didn't rise in that time, but was nearly cut in half, dropping by 48 percent. Property crime also declined, falling by 41 percent.
Have you been accused of a crime in the United States after immigrating from another country? Even though this is not nearly as common as the stereotypes suggest, it does happen, and you have to know your legal options in this country.

Prepare for Digital TV migration
The deadline for the digital migration is fast approaching. JACQUES BENTLEY, Skyworth Southern Africa Sales Manager, lets us know what we can expect.
By now you've probably heard about the impending digital migration for South African broadcasting. Initially, this shift from old-school, analogue technology to newer, more efficient digital technology was set to take place in 2015 but the deadline for a national migration has been pushed out several times. With our neighbours Namibia and Botswana blazing ahead with their own digital transformations, the pressure is on for our own government to push forward to a fully digital South Africa.
But what does this overdue switch really mean for you and me?
What is digital migration?
Basically, the process involves moving over from an analogue transmission to a Digital Terrestrial Television/Transmission (DTT). We currently use analogue technology, transmitting video and audio through analogue signals. The drawback of this traditional broadcasting format is that the colours, sound and brightness are heavily impacted by the quality of the signal, resulting in a less-than-ideal snowy effect, and your TV deciding to randomly fade or ghost.
Digital TV, on the other hand, boasts crystal-clear image quality and excellent sound without interference because of its land-based network of TV transmitters that broadcast digital signals. This kind of technology also allows viewers to access a wider range of channels with different programmes.
Why is it happening?
Apart from the fact that everyone wants clearer sound, more channels and an enhanced viewing experience, the conversion to digital TV also has a far-reaching goal that ultimately
aids developing nations like our own. According to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the objective of Broadcast Digital Transition (BDT) work is to help developing countries with their smooth journey from analogue to digital broadcasting, including terrestrial TV, mobile TV and sound broadcasting. In turn, this means that we can enjoy new broadcasting services as well as an allocation of the digital dividend.
When is it taking place?
June 2019 is D-Day for all countries to have completed their digital migration. Our Communications department is determined to meet this international deadline and has implemented a specific DTT war room to ensure that all the boxes are ticked, and they can deliver on time.
The first province to undergo the digital migration was the Free State back in August, where digital Set-Top Boxes (STBs) were launched in Senekal. Essentially, STBs decode digital signals for old, box-style TV sets and the government aims to distribute these devices to about 5-million poor households, so that all citizens can enjoy prime TV, despite their financial situation. In fact, Skyworth is one of the chosen suppliers of these set-top boxes and is proud to be a core part of an all-inclusive transition to digital.
What can you do about it?
While the government has agreed to subsidise cash-strapped consumers with STBs, the only guarantee is that the digital migration is upon us and it is our responsibility to digitally transform our homes in order to meet the requirements. This means that you'll either need to invest in a digital-ready TV or purchase your own STB to work with your current TV's analogue signal. Whichever route you decide to go, you can look forward to exceptional viewing entertainment in the comfort of your own home.
5 things you should ask about buying a new TV
With so many technological advancements that cater to various needs, and endless options on the market, buying a new TV for your home can be pretty daunting. JACQUES BENTLEY, Southern African Sales Manager at Skyworth, offers a few tips when buying a new TV.
Given the role a TV occupies in the home – providing entertainment, relaxation and a window to the world for the whole family – it's not a purchasing decision to be made lightly. Not to mention the fact that you're likely to spend a rather large sum of hard-earned dough in the process. Fear not – we're here to help you decide. Here are five important things to think about before you swipe that plastic to ensure your new TV will bring nothing but joy into your home (ok, and maybe a couple of disagreements on what to watch).
- Size matters
If you're a fan of action-packed movies or nail-biting sporting events, you already know how important the size of the screen is. Consider the space into which your new TV will fit, and take measurements of the wall area or cabinet it's going to sit on to make sure that you're being practical about its size. How many people will be watching the TV at the same time? Now opt for the largest screen size that will fit comfortably in your lounge (and your budget). Generally, anything between 55 and 65 inches is a great all-round pick according to price, performance and how close most families sit to the TV.
- Is it digital-ready?
South Africa's digital migration is upon us and by June 2019, you'll either need a digital-ready TV that can transmit digital signals or a Set-Top Box to decode digital signals for your old, box-style analogue TV set. The benefits of investing in a digital TV include crystal-clear image quality, excellent sound and a wider range of channels. Ask the sales assistant to show you their range of digital ready TVs when making your selection.
- Does it have a 4K screen resolution?
Resolution refers to the sharpness of the TV picture, usually in terms of horizontal lines of pixels. Ultra HD/ 4K sets have four times more pixels than current Full HD screens. That's as many as 2 160 horizontal lines, or 3 840 x 2 160 pixels. The result? Super-sharp, detailed and lifelike images, even on large screen sizes. For this reason, a 4K resolution is becoming increasingly popular because it's a much better choice if you want to future-proof your investment – Skyworth's G6 model was created with this in mind; it's basically an Android TV made for the future.
- What will you be using your TV for?
Apart from the obvious activity of chilling out to watch your favourite shows, what else do you want to be able to do with your TV? Will your kids be using it to play games? Will you be streaming shows on it? All of these preferences will impact the specific features that will attract you to buy a certain model over another one, so it's wise to do your research, either online or in store, before you say 'yes' to the device. Also, look out for at least four HDMI ports at the back of the set as these tend to get used up very quickly, especially if you are using accessories like a sound bar.
- Does it include cutting-edge technology?
From Google Voice Assist, allowing you to speak to your TV, to rich connectivity via Bluetooth, selecting a TV that has advanced capabilities makes for a smarter TV and one you aren't likely to need to replace in a few years' time. With Android System 6.0, an easily updatable operating system, the G6 TV is your best bet when it comes to constantly upgrading your TV without forking out money every time.

Although our flat last year was decorated quite nicely and was pretty cosy, there was a constant lingering smell that could only be described as 'offensive', usually resulting in the phrase "let's eat at mine next time" from visiting friends. Panicked and embarrassed, we proceeded to febreze every item of furniture in our house, but the dubious smell of sour milk and mould was persistent. All this drama was before we discovered the magical deodorising powers of baking soda, which worked wonders in what we thought was a lost cause.
This DIY makes for one cheap and simple air freshener, far superior to an expensive, chemical filled one. In science class we were always told not to inhale the chemicals, so it's pretty alarming that febreze is a product that exists entirely for the purpose of being inhaled. Febreze includes carcinogenic (cancer causing) and irritant chemicals such as Acetaldehyde, Propylene Glycol and BHT.
What you need:
- A petri dish type vesicle or jar
- 4 tablespoons of baking soda
- Essential oils (whichever scent you fancy. We chose lavender.)
- Put 3 or 4 tablespoons of baking soda into the jar
- Add about 16 drops of essential oil (around 4 drops per tablespoon of soda)
- Mix it up and leave it in the room. Simple as that.
- If you want to make your air freshener container look nicer, this tutorial by tidymom gives a few tips on how.
Do take note though that these might need to be replaced every now and then in order to stay effective. (For a full list of the nasty ingredients and why they're considered toxic, check this website sustainablebabysteps.) – Anna

The iTDS is the internal Transform Distribution Server and is a web application that allows for the distribution and management of transforms, seeds and settings. Essentially the iTDS means that your transforms are written as a web services (or application/pages), and the iTDS will call these scripts from different servers on your network.
The easiest way to think of a iTDS is as a proxy for transforms. The clients sends a request to the iTDS that then calls the script remotely and returns the response, this can be seen in the image further down on this page.
This document will explain how to set up your own iTDS server in your own environment and its basic use. This should not be confused with the TDS which is the public version of the iTDS that is hosted by Paterva and free for anyone to use. Some of the sections in this guide are applicable to all Maltego servers and some sections are specific to the iTDS.
The iTDS guide is split into three sections each linked below.

platform was on wheels allowing a section to be swung out of the way to give

I am currently teaching two sections of sophomore Organic Chemistry (CHEM 227 or CHEM 228) and one section of Organic Synthesis and Analysis IV (CHEM 234) for Chemistry majors. I also supervise several sections of Organic Chemistry Labs for non-majors (CHEM 237 or CHEM 238) each Fall and Spring semesters. Organic chemistry is so closely related to our daily life, I'd like to share with my students how to convert the in-class knowledge into practical performance. I enjoy teaching and feel teaching is a mutual intellectual exchange where both sides can improve.
My research interests are related to porhyrin based material chemistry. I have worked on the method development and synthesis of new type of pi-extended porphyrins including triphenylene-fused porphyrins, water soluble ionic tetrabenzoporphyrins as well as pentacene-fused diporphyrins. Those porphyrins are excellent organic materials that could be used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), photodynamic therapy (PDT), self-assemble nanomaterials and so on.
