That's from Hubbard's third album, The Road to Freedom, which was done in collaboration with some of the biggest stars in the world, such as John Travolta, Chick Korea and, yep, Frank Stallone. It's basically a Scientologist version of U.S.A. for Africa if "We Are the World" was about getting rich off of scamming people. And yes, when we said "third album," we meant that there's lots more of this shit. Hubbard's bizarre musical career started with his true masterpiece Space Jazz, an album which was intended to be the soundtrack to his even truer masterpiece: the novel Battlefield Earth.
Applause Records
It's sort of like Pandora's Box, except Xenu pops out and takes your money.
Most people associate Battlefield Earth with Travolta dressed as a Rastafarian mime. But if it was up to Hubbard, that title would make you think of horses dancing, prancing, and mating, judging by this ridiculous track (be warned that we might unwittingly be exposing you to advanced Scientologist brainwashing techniques with these songs). Other tracks have evocative names such as "Alien Visitors Attack," "March of the Psychlos," and our favorite, "Terl, the Security Director." We're pretty sure that last one is a Def Leppard cover.

I had trouble moving my feet, and I had to focus really hard. It was like trying to learn how to run! The sun was already high up in the sky, and I could feel my skin slowly roasting.
The power couple were not very far behind me, Anslem was still escorting Amelia.
It was probably a good idea to run together with Amelia, as I might have been able to forget about my exhaustion just seeing her outfitor the lack of itbut I was also a bit concerned about getting last in my category!
But I was happy to cross the finish line in 3:44. And now I wonderit might be possible to shave a few minutes off that time. Now I need to come back next year to improve a little bit.

Windows 10 sometimes distracts me with news headlines which I click on if they sound interesting. I just saw one that said "Hero Kid Dabs While Stuck on Roller Coaster."
I clicked on this because I had no idea what it meant. I understood hero, kid and rollercoaster but this was obviously not any interpretation of the word dab that I was familiar with. I followed it up and discovered that dabbing is some kind of weird. trendy dance craze. So now I knew that while stuck on a stalled amusement park ride in high winds this kid decided to show off his dance moves.
My question is how is that heroic? It sounds rather questionable behaviour to me. Should he not be keeping still while waiting to be rescued?
Here is a definition of the word hero from the Oxford dictionary. Most of the main English dictionaries give a similar explanation. Some add that it can also mean a person who has super powers or a character from mythology. Nowhere did I see anything about showing off and behaving like an idiot.
hero – definition of hero in English | Oxford Dictionaries
Main definitions of hero in English. …"A person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities."
This article annoyed me a lot as I felt it cheapened the meaning of the word hero and glorified stupid behaviour. Here is a link to the article. Make up your own minds.

How it Looks
frequently asked questions
Should I match my blush to my lipstick?
Experts say you sure can but suggest not to get too matchy-matchy. Make sure you choose the same color family that have the same undertones. Here are a few examples: Peach blush use a neutral lipstick. Rose blush use a red lipstick.
What type of brush is recommended to apply blush?
You want to use a softer, fluffy (but that is a bit more compact than traditional powder brushes), synthetic makeup brush. We recommend our pro Multi Tasker Powder Brush or our Duo Fiber Blush Brush when using bolder pigmented blushes.
How do I choose the best blush color for me?
You want to choose your blush by your skin tone. Here's a quick guide to follow: For Fair Skin choose shades of soft pinks, peach or light coral. Medium Skin choose shades of rich pinks and mauves. Dark Skin choose shades of fuchsia, orchids and bold oranges.

text: 21 April 2017 The government intends to develop a new industrial strategy in preparation for Brexit, and to deliver a more balanced UK economy. A Green Paper was published in January, and over the last few months we've been talking to members, businesses across sectors, as well as working with the Mayor's office to develop a response. You can read our full response here. We believe the industrial strategy is an opportunity to develop a national policy framework to drive growth and productivity across the UK. As an international hub for business, finance and tourism, the capital is well positioned to drive growth and support the national industrial strategy. At a time when government is rightly focused on the Brexit negotiations, there is a strong case to give our city-regions the powers and fiscal tools to build on their strengths and address their weaknesses. We are asking the government to speed up the process of devolution, and implement the recommendations of the London Finance Commission, many of which apply more widely to other UK cities We believe that the drivers of growth in London are similar for other cities and regions in the UK, and by collaborating with other city-regions and business, we can unlock growth across the country. Our report, London 2036: an agenda for jobs and growth, has been produced in consultation with hundreds of London's business leaders, and sets out delivery priorities, under three broad themes: Building on strengths and staying open for business – for the benefit of the whole country, London needs to remain open for business. It must secure its position as the leading global hub for finance and talent, build new trading arrangements as we move towards Brexit and exploi London's reputation for tourism and entertainment. Fuelling innovation and growth – London can help fuel UK growth by capitalising on strengths in technology and creativity, providing world class digital infrastructure and improving its ability to scale up entrepreneurial businesses, driving large-scale job creation. Addressing weaknesses – we need to invest in transport and other infrastructure, tackle long-term barriers to growth, as well as invest in home-grown skills to improve productivity. Meeting these needs requires city-regional leadership to develop tailored local solutions. The Green Paper identified five sectors for special 'sector deals': life sciences, low-carbon vehicles, industrial digitalisation, creative industries and nuclear. Whilst these are key platforms on which to build UK growth, we urge the government to also support sectors where London and the rest of the UK act as sources of talent for each other. These are; financial and professional services, and international tourism. We will now build our manifesto for the general election around this response to the industrial strategy Green Paper. We are keen to move quickly and would welcome your feedback on our asks to government. Please contact email@example.com Become a member Our members include over 200 of the capital's leading employers across a wide range of sectors, with a common commitment to our capital.

I wanted to send a few selfies and say THANK YOU for taking such good care of me while trying to find my forever people! They love me soooo much and I've got them wrapped around my paw already. I'm still trying to work on them with letting me get away with everything, but they seem to have a constant eye on me! I've got them signed up for classes, so I can teach them how to really treat a pup – we will see how they do. I give them lots of encouragement and puppy kisses in the mean time.
I can't wait to meet my new doctor (Dr. Mike) tomorrow. I hear he's great. I'm sure he will love me and say I can eat anything I want – well, I'm hoping anyway. :)
I better get back to my rope and my chew bones. They need to know who's boss!
Thank again! You do an amazing and much needed work! Dad says he's going to plan some fundraisers at the studio for you too once the doors get open.
Woofs and licks,

The Sunbeam Alpine is a British marque that was driven by Sean Connery in a car chase scene in the James Bond film Dr. No, although it never did reached the heights of other Bond cars like the Aston Martin or the Lotus! This superb specimen is owned by the late Raja Dato' Amir Razman, at this time ADC to Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah II, seen here posing with his wife, Raja Datin Mariam binti Raja Bendahara Abdul Rashid. There have been several opinions given as to the location where this photo was taken. However, we have received information by the son of Raja Balkish Raja Dato' Amir that this photo was taken at Cameron Highlands.
The Alpine was first produced in 1959 and a total of five series were released until 1968. The Series I-III were available in both open and removable hardtop versions, whilst the Series IV included a convertible version. From the photo, it is likely that Raja Amir's Alpine was either a Series II, III or IV, and it would have had a 1.6 litre 82 bhp engine.
The Sunbeam marque was then sold in Malaya by Wearnes Brothers.

The Embassy of Sri Lanka with the assistance of the Sri Lanka Association in Berlin celebrated Christmas at a colourful ceremony on Sunday, 9 December 2018, at the Mission premises.
Delivering a speech at the event, Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Germany Karunasena Hettiarachchi highlighted the importance of celebrating multi-religious events, which symbolizes Sri Lanka's rich diversity and the religious harmony among the different communities of Sri Lankans living in Germany.
Apostle Danielle delivered a Christmas Prayer, bestowing blessings upon the participants and all Sri Lankans for a happy Christmas and a prosperous year ahead. The Christmas ambience was generated by setting up Christmas decorations at the venue and gifts were distributed among children who participated in the event.
With the true spirit of Christmas and to share the joy and happiness of the season, the Embassy took the initiative to donate Christmas gifts for children at a cancer hospital in Berlin.
Christmas Carols were performed by the Sri Lankan community in Berlin, and the guests were entertained with music and dinner arranged by the Embassy.
The event concluded on a note of happiness and unity among all Sri Lankans living in Germany looking forward for a Christmas and a New Year full of peace and happiness.

How so very true! I was recently interviewed by the No 1 investment bank and was asked to write a program over the telephone to reverse a linked list. My mistake was the incredulous gasp before completing the task successfully so I was silently elided...
What was in the interviewers mind? I can't ever remember reversing a linked list in my 25 years of C programming - why would you want to turn a LIFO into a FIFO? Use the right structure in the first place.
Perhaps it's because I use the APR to do all the hard work for me in a portable, thread-safe and hardware efficient way. I wouldn't have the hubris to think I could write better a thread-safe list. Testing experienced candidates on basic programming concepts that you learn in programming 101 is demeaning and pointless.
It's not the first time I've met with the same idiocy at the same organisation so I've vowed never to darken their doorway again.Posted by Graeme Burnett at May 11, 2011 02:24 PM

Purchasing a Whole, Half, or Quarter Beef From Blue Rooster Farm
Give "nose to tail" or "cheek to cheek" eating a try by purchasing a whole, half, or quarter (half of a half) beef. It's a great way to learn about the various cuts and how to best to utilize them.
The supermarket would have you believe that some cuts are better than others; I disagree. Some cuts are easier to prepare – a tenderloin is virtually a no-fail cut. But beef heart or a rump roast can be amazing as well. It takes understanding of how to prepare various cuts, willingness to try something new, and an appreciation that each cut will have its own unique texture and flavor. A flank steak will never cut like a tenderloin, but many agree it has deeper, richer flavor. The internet is a great resource for techniques and recipes that will work well with each cut. Check out the River Cottage website or Food 52 for great ideas.
Buying bulk will save you money, especially if your family likes steaks and roasts as well as ground beef. For farmers, it is a more efficient way to market and helps us avoid the conundrum of unbalanced inventory caused when the most sought-after cuts are sold before others. However buying a portion of a beef is not for everyone and there are several things to consider when deciding whether to purchase a whole, half, or quarter beef.
Whole or Half Beef $4.10/lb. hanging weight plus processing
Quarter Beef $4.25/lb. hanging weight plus processing
We make this a separate charge because all the processors we work with offer convenience cuts like hamburger patties and stew cubes for an added per/ pound fee.
Their basic processing costs are as follows:
Kill fee $50 (divided between parties)
Cut, vac-pack, and freeze $.55 / lb.
Ground Beef Patties $.40/lb.
Minute Steaks/ Stew Cubes $.50/lb.
Approximately how much will you actually be paying for a half of beef?
If you are buying a half of beef and its hanging weight is 250 lbs. (approximate but around average size for our beef)
250 250
x $ 4.10 $.55
$1025.00 for beef $137.50 + $25 kill fee
plus $162.50 processing fee

How much meat is in a whole, half, or quarter?
Hanging Weight– also known as dressed weight or carcass weight – is what you get when you remove the parts that are inedible like the hide, feet, head, some of the bones and most of the innards. The dressing percentage for most beef cattle is about 63%. A 1000 lb. animal would "dress out" at about 500 lbs. The live weight of most of our beef is between 950 and 1150 lbs. On average our hanging weights are between 500 and 600 lbs.
How much do I take home?
You take home the finished cuts or "yield". The percentage of the hanging weight that remains is called the "yield" and is generally between 60% to 65% of hanging weight.
This percentage varies based on a number of factors including:
• Bone-in vs. boneless – This will dramatically affect yield; the more boneless cuts that are made, the lower the yield.
The amount of fat remaining on the meat cuts – The yield will vary based on how much surface fat the cutter leaves on the meat.
Beef genetics also affects yield. We are making an effort to choose genetics with high yield percentages.
A half beef with a hanging weight of 250 lbs. will yield on average between 150 to 165 lbs. of take home meat.
A whole or half beef costs you around $7.90 per pound of take-home meat.
What sort of cuts will I get?
If you buy a whole or half of beef, you get decide how the beef is cut and packaged, according to your tastes and needs. It might sound overwhelming at first, but we, or the folks at Prestige will walk you through the process.
Purchasing a Quarter Beef (half of a half)
When you purchase a Quarter Beef, the cuts are standardized as listed below. We like to give our customers who buy Quarters a good selection of cuts from all the primal sections of a beef. Standardizing the cuts ensure that both customers sharing the side get a true split of the variety of cuts.
Quarter Beef
3-4 Chuck / Arm Roasts (around 12 lbs. total)
1 brisket – 3 lbs.
4 – 6 Delmonico Steaks
4-6 NY Strip
4 Filet Mignon
4 -6 Sirloin Steak
Flank or Skirt Steak
6 – 8 lbs. Short Ribs
2 – 4 Round Roasts
Ground Beef in 1 lb. packs
Extra options – have 10- or more pounds of ground beef made into patties. You may also get your share of liver and bones,
How much freezer space will I need for my beef?
Plan on approximately one cubic foot of freezer space for every 15-20 pounds of meat. The interior of a milk crate is slightly more than a cubic foot. For a 1/2 a beef, you will need a 7 cu ft. freezer.
How do I place an order?
Call or email us and we will discuss availability and options. You can expect the time between placing and order and receiving your meat to be three to six months.

After coming home for a bit, I went to Ali's house and her, my friend Sophie and I went on a run around her neighborhood which included the fire trail and running past the golf course. The fire trail is an old street that used to be an emergency shortcut for the fire department (I think). It's an absolutely beautiful trail that overlooks the ocean, and has tons of flowers, trees, and plants along it. However, the run turned more into a hike/walk when we ended up wanting to talk more, and not run up a killer uphill or through a small field. We got back to her house a while later, and were starving.
Since Ali's parents were out of town and she claims she has been eating only poached eggs for dinner the past few nights, We all went shopping to go make dinner.
|Can't you just see the inspiration in us? or the dog in the backseat (look closely)
|Shopping for food!
We decided to make turkey burgers and salad. I was in charge of the turkey burgers, and I decided to try to be creative by putting cheese in the middle. I felt very resourceful. Maybe I was feeling inspired from this week's Biggest Loser challenge (Did anyone else watch it?). Except I didn't use green goo to spice mine up.
Although it looked a bit plain, it actually tasted pretty good. And I only called my mom once in a panic because I couldn't figure out why they weren't cooking through... ends up all I needed was time haha. Oh well, you guys know I'm still working on this cooking thing. We used a plain bagel thin for the turkey burger bun. I wasn't in charge of the salad, but I know Ali made the dressing (I saw olive oil and spices go into it, but that's all I can give you... I was having a mini crisis with my burgers) and threw craisans, dried bananas, and lots of other goodies into the salad. It was SO good.
For dessert, I had a some of these little cookies, and stayed over a bit longer to hang out some more and watch TV. Just so you know, Man V. Food is one of the most depressing shows out there. I was in shock watching it.
On a different note, I can't wait for my siblings to get done with school too! I'm starting to get bored in the house by myself. Night, everyone!

Coronavirus Update: MORE INFORMATION
Sometimes the problem with the blood system is that it is too thick, and clots are formed in your veins or arteries that can lead to strokes, irregular bleeding and thrombophlebitis. Rarely, a fatal burst of clots can stop your lungs from putting oxygen in your blood, leading to a sudden collapse and death.
A variety of medical problems have been attributed to abnormal clotting, including deep vein thrombosis, venous clots at any location and pulmonary embolism. Deep vein thrombosis occurs when a clot forms in the deep veins of your body. Often cramps in the lower leg is a warning sign of this problem. Sometimes the problem occurs without symptoms. When blood cannot circulate normally throughout the vascular system, the flow becomes irregular and small clots form that cause damage throughout your vascular system. When these small clots get to a person's lungs they can become deadly very quickly, leading to lack of oxygen and sudden death.
Lack of activity, change in activity and obesity are all factors that contribute to venous clots. Symptoms include leg swelling and leg pain. Clotting changes in your blood stream and obstruction of blood flow are the main causes of the symptoms, but the problem can arise from many conditions, illness and inactivity being the most important ones.
The hematologists at Physicians East can assess your clotting system with specific tests to see whether certain clotting factors are abnormally high in your system. Ultrasound as well as special scans can be performed to look for clots in your vascular system or pulmonary tree. Blood gases can be used to see how well your blood is receiving oxygen.
Usual medicines to thin your blood are the first line of treatment. At the start of treatment, injectable quick-acting medication is used to start treatment of the problem. Eventually, the patient is transitioned to an oral medication. Many varieties of medication are now available to treat clotting disorders. Some require blood monitoring and some do not. Speak with your provider so that you can find the kind of medication that fits in best with your needs.

Last night, I had writer's block, so I decided that I would write a poem about the first post that appeared in my newsfeed on Facebook. The lucky winner was an odd, lovely post by my friend, David Dinner, puzzling over strange, gelatinous creatures he'd seen on the beach that day (see above). I kept my promise to me. I think the poem ended up being about mermaids and promises and love. Among other things. Who knew gelatinous creatures could be so inspiring? Unicorns, you've met your match.
I speak to you from the mount
of strange gelatinous creatures
where walking on water ain't shit
but legs on land?
Now that's a thing.
I will make miracles for you.
I will read your past in salted tea leaves
and serve you up a cup of stars.
I will deliver to you the meaning of Christmas
and translate the oracle of Captain Ahab
into the mysterious language of bats.
I'm talking sonar, mother fuckers.
Slip into my coral bed.
Sleep beside me.
My eyes burn with longing.
My fins quiver.
If only if only
I could surf the sand with you.
Listen, long legged lover
sink into sunset with me.
Let maw-mouthed tangerine sky
swallow you whole.
Take the hand of
one of the animals that didn't quite
make it onto the ark, two by two.
We are the forgotten ones
who drowned by the thousands.
But the gods of seaweed had mercy
raised us up mermaids
and men who are lovers of myrrh.
I am an underwater Hildegard von Bingen
I have learned to astral project.
I land on land each time the sun plummets
never mind my tail.
My insides are made of oysters and pearls.
I have more in common with snails
than people.
I am Anne Boleyn's ghost.
On the evening my marriage was annulled
I picked up my head and slipped mist-like
into the bed of my soul's true love.
I taught him to sing in the tongues of angels.
I licked his scales til they glowed.

© The Author(s) 2017. Darren Lilleker and Dan Jackson review the role and impact of the social media on the election now that these platforms have become a widely used and popular activity with a significant part of the British public and especially the younger voters. Developments in 2015 are placed in context of the fast moving interactive technological advancements, particularly relating to mobile phones, in recent years. The chapter explores how social media has been used in different ways by larger parties and their smaller rivals, the latter of whom are less well-resourced and therefore keen to exploit any possibilities afforded them. The contribution and significance of e-mail, Facebook and other websites to the campaign is considered along with survey data relating to users' online related political participation.

Measure and mark every 2 inches along the center of the edge of the plywood measuring 3×18. This section is used to cover the lid from the plug and form a strong hold in the back of the chair. Scroll down a quarter inch, with 3/4 inch drill at each 2-inch mark along the top edge, create nine marks in total. Repeat the drilling process on the trademarks drawn on the 3×18 section of plywood to create an impressive grid where plugs will be placed.

Where abuse of a child or young person is suspected or alleged, you should always:
Listen and Reassure
Remain calm and where an allegation of abuse has been made, the child must be reassured they were right to tell you.
Take the allegation of abuse seriously.
Listen carefully to what the child has to say and do not attempt to question the child or investigate further. Investigations of child abuse are conducted by qualified experts from within the relevant statutory authorities (see Appendix 2). Do not make a child repeat the story unnecessarily.
Do not make comments derogatory or otherwise with regard to the alleged perpetrator of the abuse, as child could possibly have mixed emotions about him and/or her.
Respect the trust and confidence the child has placed in you. However, while respecting confidentiality, tell the child that it is your duty to report the incident the Child Protection Officer , who will contact the appropriate child protection agencies.
Tell the child it is in his / her best interests that you report the incident and that you are duty bound to do so. Do not promise to keep secrets.
In the case of an allegation of abuse, record in writing as quickly as possible what the child has told you. (Appendix 3)
Report immediately to the Child Protection Officer when an allegation of or suspicion of abuse occurs.
In cases of an emergency, and where neither the Child Protection Officer nor a senior member of staff is available, contact the Police or nearest Social Services (Duty Social Worker) immediately through Contactors Bureau.
Record details of any decision and/or action. All records should be kept in a secure place as directed by the Child Protection Officer, as this information is strictly confidential.
FHMI's Child Protection Officer is: Audrey Thompson
The Child Protection Officer will:
Contact Social Services and the police as soon as possible. Social Services have a duty to carry out an investigation where they receive a complaint of child abuse.
Share the information 'on a need to know basis'.
Attend the Child Protection Case Conference, if requested.
Inform the parent(s) of an allegation/suspicion of abuse. However, before doing so, seek advice from the appropriate child protection agencies on how to deal with this situation.
Discuss with the relevant statutory child protection authority, if the alleged perpetrator of child abuse is to be informed and by whom. Also if appropriate, whether other organisations and agencies with whom the alleged perpetrator has connections, should be informed.

Portfolio Golden Tulip facade identity.
Public design
Industrial design
Golden Tulip facade identity.
Golden Tulip has been a famous name since the first Golden Tulip hotels opened their doors in the Netherlands in 1962. Since then, the hotel chain has evolved and grown and now exploits numerous hotels around the world. The facade identity, designed by Fabrique, has certainly contributed to this.
Design a new facade identity for Golden Tulip. Make sure that it is unambiguous and refreshing.
We drafted a Visual Identity Manual, which included the corporate identity that has now become the signature mark for Golden Tulip hotels. Our main purpose was to make it manageable for local hotel managers to introduce and maintain this identity, while also upkeeping their own local choices, as Golden Tulip's company vision is "International standards, local flavors".
Designs were specificated in the signage manual. These designs were for objects such as light boxes, banners, foils, etc, and were created to be useable and manageable over the whole world. The manual was implemented and approved after it had been tested in a representative group of pilot hotels.

For people with a basketball court or basketball hoop of their own, practicing shooting can be tough. Often, it becomes a game of shoot, chase the ball, shoot, chase the ball. If you want to practice you shooting more effectively, we recommend an auto-rebounding basketball hoop accessory. These great utilities attach to either your basketball rim or your basketball hoop pole. After each shot, the ball is returned right to the shooter. You can shoot at least 20 percent more shots during your practice with one of these court accessories. Get an auto-rebounder and be able to focus on honing your shooting skills.

For women who are candidates for breast reconstruction using their own (autogenous) tissue, the pedicled TRAM (transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneous) flap is a common technique. Unfortunately, many patients undergoing pedicled TRAM flap breast reconstruction develop abdominal wall weakness, bulging and hernia because their rectus muscle has been sacrificed as part of the flap. For this reason, the surgeons at NYBRA/Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, PC do not use the pedicled TRAM in their practice. Instead, they are able to minimize the risk of hernias by using the most advanced microsurgical breast reconstruction techniques that preserve the rectus muscles – like DIEP, SIEA, and muscle-sparing TRAM free flap procedures. While the risk remains low, some patients undergoing these muscle-sparing microsurgical procedures may also develop abdominal wall bulging.
Over the past decade, Dr. Ron Israeli has developed and refined a unique and reliable technique for repair of TRAM hernias and bulges. This specialized TRAM bulge repair and abdominal wall reconstruction technique was developed in collaboration with Dr. George DeNoto, Director of General Surgery at St. Francis Hospital (Roslyn, N.Y.). In this procedure, an extended onlay mesh repair is completed along with fascial plication and external oblique muscle reinforcement.
Recently updated and improved, this technique for abdominal wall reconstruction in patients with TRAM and DIEP flap-related hernias was selected for presentation at the Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR) meeting in Washington, DC. The AWR meeting is the leading annual conference focusing on an interdisciplinary approach to the management of complicated abdominal wall hernias. Hundreds of plastic surgeons and general surgeons gather at the AWR meeting to discuss the most current cutting edge techniques.
In addition to their presentation, Drs. Israeli and DeNoto have also written a book chapter titled "Repair of the Post-TRAM Bulge/Hernia" for the second edition of the Atlas of Abdominal Wall Reconstruction released last month. While there have been other published approaches to repairing TRAM bulges with varying degrees of success, the technique described by Dr. Israeli and Dr. DeNoto in their book chapter is among the most effective and reliable approaches available.
Contact our office for more information about this unique and reliable approach to TRAM hernia repair.

Most people don't know that our lifestyle and the buildings we inhabit are responsible for a large percentage of the CO2 gas from their dismantling or disposal. Its about the materials we use, mainly the synthetics and glues.
For a greener way forward, we need to consider what will happen to the things we own when we are done with them.
It is tragic that so much furniture – old sofas and chairs for instance, often get piled onto trucks, and go to land fills. Its not a pretty sight. However, there are alternatives. Donating is always appreciated. ANEW, an award winning non profit has helped to find new homes for unwanted corporate furniture. This award wining group has helped to save millons of pounds of corporate waste while helping non profits and re purposing unwanted items. http://www.anew.org They are doing a lot of good and inspiring similar re newal programs to other cities. Its a great way to prolong the usefulness of furniture.
Re upholstering your favorite pieces is basic recycling. I highly recommend it. Why waste a once comfortable, perfect fitting chair or sofa? In the process, you can upgrade what you now own, use more green or sustainable options in the choice of your materials. Saving the frame from the dumpster has its benefits. Keep in mind the basic frame can be made higher, and cushions can have added details like buttons or tufts to get a change of style. I once took a Chesterfield sofa and made it into a lower, more contemporary one to fit into a basement 'fun' room. I removed the tufts and lowered the feet. Under all the foam and feathers its a basic wood frame, and it can be re used and altered. When re done with quality materials a sofa or chair can last ten years or more. I have clients who re invest in their quality pieces…after enjoying them for over a dozen years. It is well worth it. A good sofa has a hardwood frame, full inner springs, and maybe down or marshal units in the individual cushions. It keeps its shape and comfort for many years.
Classes in basic upholstery can be very satisfying. It is quite easy to create headboards, screens and re do your dining room seats with the right tools. Check with your local area night school for classes. It's a great 'green' hobby as well.
Green furniture is also about sustainability. Green fabrics from natural fibers like cotton, wool, bamboo and hemp are coming onto the marketplace through many resources. The best of these are produced with more green processes, omitting less noxious fumes and providing a more bio-degradable life cycle for when their useful life is over.
Cushion inserts and pillows however, provide a more difficult problem to solve. The typical "green" re upholstery job involves hemp webbing, cotton or wool batting , down feathers and laytex foam cushions. When going this route the consumer needs to be aware that not all of these products are 'organic'. I have a list of good alternatives in my slideshow for today.
Down feathers for example, can be plucked from birds who live on hormone saturated feed. This actually is transferred to the feathers. The so called down proof tic does not protect one from the off gassing that occurs. Still, for a price these materials can be certified organic when produced entirely without the use of hormones, fertilizers and the like. Disadvantages are the same ones that led the furniture industry to move to the foam cushions produced from poly chemicals. The cotton batting eventually pills. Old fashion sofas used horsehair which did last without shifting. However, even if you could find it… well, lets just say it does not make the most appealing or comfortable cushion.
Some people are allergic to feathers or wool, or balk at the cost of pure soy based latex foam. There are new alternatives, made from recycled plastic bottles. It is the same basic material that Mohawk has been using since 1999 in its line of award winning sustainable carpet.
The manufacturing process is similar, yet different. The class " 1 " or PET plastic is washed, crushed, melted, crystallized, and formed into pellets. The pellets are heated and stretched into usable fibers. The fibers are spun into several different weights or deniers to produce the cushion and pillow materials which can be cut, shaped and trimmed. The best part is that they hold their shape, unlike cotton batting. The process creates a cohesive 'blanketed' type woven product that does not fray or pill. The use and durability testing is impressive. I have had clients who are very interested to try it out…however the facts about whether it is really an enviromentally safe product are still murky. It is on the market, however I recently read a study that was disturbing. There was a lot of chemical lingo, however the jist of the report says the process creates a very unhealthy, even toxic brew of chemicals from the melting down process that is critical to the production of these PET recycled plastics. It seems as though the safest way to go is still to use feathers or soy products.
The low emission laytex foam, are actually themselves recyclable. That's a big guilt reducer for me and many of my clients.
Take a look at the slideshow and see some green, sustainable sources. When it comes to green and sustainable products, the furniture industry has shown slow, but steady growth. Lee Industries has been a leader, and their sales of their 'Eco Cushions' have steadily grown. The Sustainable Furnishings Council has been growing to include major companies like Stickley. They also offer a certification with ongoing training for designers and retailers. With so much furniture on the planet to either maintain or toss, its an important step forward. With finite resources and space for landfills, it just makes ecological sense.

Bonus and symbols in the Sirens slot
Bonus in Siren is a classic round of free spin. When you press the "Bonus" button, the screen changes and the music starts to play to increase the excitement. The logo of the game is a Wild symbol and is depicted on the reels. You can replace all characters, except for "Bonus" and symbols of the bonus letters. If you land in the wild on nearby reels, great win is expected.
The "Bonus" symbol in the game is a golden harp, and if 3 or more of them are placed anywhere on the reels, the game starts with "free" spells. Three harps will give you 7 free spins, four harps will give you 10 rounds, and 5 harps will get 15 free spins. This function contains the letters B, O, N, U and S. BONUS letters replace the bonus icon during this function on 5 reels. The combination of these letters in each position will pay you. For a card that has reached the battery, you will receive a credit that will be multiplied by the total bet. After the free spins bonus has expired, you can select an ARF sample that will give you a final multiplier that can be of x3, x4, x5 or x10 of your total gain in this function.
Once you have a free spin bonus, you should get all the characters to write the word "bonus", which gives you the multiplier. Screen seems to have a lot of other great characters. This allows you to get more profit, and also wins when the battery is running.
The history of the sirens is deeply entrenched in the ancient Greek mythology where groups of people spoke that used to become beautiful women and sang. Go ashore to get an idea of these unbelievable singers. However, these mythical creatures were not just songs and dances, because people were their main products.
The Sirens online slot is fairly accessible for the game, although this is a bit of a base compared to some new versions of the IGT. The players like the theme and variation of free round so it's worth to try it. RTP is 94.90%.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — The surprise guest at Expedia's 20th anniversary celebration this afternoon was Barry Diller, the media mogul who co-founded the Fox network and oversees a wide range of online brands as chairman of the IAC media and Internet company. Diller made his first investment in Expedia in 2001 and remains its chairman.
After toasting employees and cutting the anniversary cake, Diller spoke for a few minutes with GeekWire about his investment in Expedia, his thoughts on its recent acquisition spree, and his belief in the future of artificial intelligence.
Continue reading for an edited excerpt from the interview.
Q: When you first acquired a stake in Expedia, in 2001, it was not a good year for travel. Why did you decide to go forward with this investment given all the turmoil in the travel industry at that point.
Barry Diller: Travel had stopped cold after 9/11, and that was when we really had to make the decision whether to proceed or not to buy the company. We thought a lot about it, and there were a lot people on all sides of this. Some people said, you shouldn't do it, it's too dicey, there's no travel the world is ending, and somebody in the room said, 'If there's life, there's travel.' I heard that and I said, 'Yeah, that's what we'll do. We'll bet on life.' And that's what we did. And travel came back very quickly.
Q: What are your feelings as you reflect on that decision now, seeing where the company is?
Diller: I'm glad I made it. Sometimes you make decisions where the stakes are high and there's a lot of risk, and things go bad. This is a situation where things have just gone not consistently right, but they've gone so right over such a long period of time. And it's still a young company. That's the amazing thing. Not only that it's young, but the people are young, the sensibility is young, and optimistic and hopeful, so it's actually all good.
Q: This company has become very good, especially in recent years, at something you're very good at, and that's acquisitions.
Diller: This is true.
Q: Do you see that pace of acquisitions continuing for Expedia?
PREVIOUSLY: Expedia at 20: Top execs reflect on past challenges, acquisitions, and the journey ahead
Diller: No. I don't. First of all, I think there's very little left to acquire that's relevant to our travel businesses, and also because we've got a lot of digestion to do now. Look, any time you say it's over, it's not over. Anytime you say there's not opportunity, something will come up and there's opportunity, and this company is so ambitious that it will pounce on opportunity.
Q: You're very big on artificial intelligence. You're a proponent and a believer in its future.
Diller: Well, how could you not be. You'd be an idiot not to be. Look, artificial intelligence is another form of magic. The Internet is magic to those people who were actually born in an earlier period. It's absolute magic. To those of you who are second-generation it's not. Artificial intelligence is magic in its ability to change so much of what we all do.
Q: Do you see it influencing travel?
Diller: Of course it will. It will influence everything.

Scenario planning for Operation Market Larden IV
Saturday 4th June will see the 4th 'Operation Market Larden' event in Evesham. Having missed last year, I was very keen to attend this event, and offered to put on a game.
Plan A was to refight the 'Pont de la Croix' scenario from 'Operation Warboard', especially as this was the first ever World War II scenario I ever played. However, since the scenario pits American against Germans, this has been put on the back-burner until I paint my US forces.
It seemed sensible at this point to fight a battle with the forces we have got: British Paras and German Heer/Panzer Grenadiers.
Plan B was to fight the 'V for Victory' scenario from Red Devils in the Night. This is a 'what if' scenario which pits British Paras up against a large force of German Panzer Grenadiers and supporting armour. I was originally very keen on this, but the more I looked at the scenario, the more I felt that it wasn't quite what we were after.
Onto Plan C.
Whilst looking through the Battlegroup Overlord book, I found the 'First Battle Honours' scenario, which covers the Battle of Breville on the 12th June 1944. A blog post about fighting this scenario using IABSM by the Devon Wargames Group can be found here.
Looking at the forces involved, each side had two infantry platoons, along with armour and artillery support. I was pretty convinced that this was the scenario I wanted to now use, and decided that I needed to buy some more figures. Hence my addition Germans arriving on the painting table.
Well, I sat down with Dave last night to plan the game, and he immediately raised the issue that playing with two platoons plus armoured support on each side is possibly being a bit ambitious to finish a game in 2-3 hours, so why didn't we look at amending the forces involved from those in the book to perhaps something more manageable (I suspect he had ulterior motives, as it also meant that he didn't have to paint any more infantry!)
In the end we decided to halve the infantry forces and support involved, but keep the same armour support. This means that each side has an infantry platoon, an armoured troop, plus some other support options. It should make for an interesting game of Big Chain of Command.
The forces are as follows:
British Airborne (Force Points)
Infantry Platoon (+8)
Sherman Troop (2 Shermans + 1 Firefly) (+2)
Support: PIAT Team (+2), Vickers MMG (+4), Forward Observer and 3″ Mortar Battery (+4), Engineers Section with JL (+4), Pre-Game Barrage (+2)
This gives 26 Force Points in total. The British Commander choses what teams are in the Engineers section.
German Panzer Grenadiers – Regular (Force Points)
Infantry Platoon (+1)
Tank Destroyer Platoon (Marder III) (+1)
Support: MG42 MMG (+4), Forward Observer with 80mm Mortar Battery (+4)
This gives 10 Force Points in total, leaving the German forces with a further 16 points to spend on other support options.
The available support choices are:
Maximum one each of: Adjutant (1), Senior Leader (2), Sniper Team(3), Regular Panzer Grenadier Squad with JL (5)
Minefield (1) – maximum 2, Barbed Wire (1) – maximum 4, Road Block (2) – maximum 1, Entrenchments – infantry team(1), AFV (2) – maximum 4, Strengthened Building (3), Ambush Marker (2) – maximum 2.
This should give the German player a choice of a bit more firepower, plus a lot of static defences for the British to deal with. The Ambush Markers are equivalent to having a Chain of Command Dice that can only be used for the 'Ambush' action.
A couple of notes about the historical battle. The attack was carried out following an artillery barrage, hence the support option for the British Airborne. The actual battle actually took place at night. However, we've decided to forgo any night-fighting rules for simplicity, as we've found them a bit problematic when playing them over the last few scenarios.
The upshot is that I didn't need to buy/paint those German Infantry after all (although I suppose they will always come in useful), but I do need to finish the Marder III and then paint some large entrenchments and some Czech Hedgehogs. Meanwhile, Dave will have to paint a couple of Shermans and a Firefly.
All being well we will be playing a test game next week.

Climate security
The Netherlands has long been a champion of human and planetary security – including through its support of the Planetary Security Initiative. Similarly, the UK has a long history of pushing these agendas in international fora through the UNFCCC, Agenda 2030 and the UN Security Council. Both countries are now part of a coalition supporting the Resilience track as part of the Climate Action Summit that UN Secretary General António Guterres is organising in New York in September.
The climate-security agenda is fast evolving, with defence, diplomacy and development actors all stepping up their activities. In recent years as climate impacts have intensified, the science has become even more unsettling and public calls to action have grown louder. Particularly in the Netherlands and the UK, but increasingly in many other countries as well, climate change is included as key aspect in security risks analysis, including scenarios of the armed forces. With people on the streets of London calling for the Government to declare a Climate Emergency, the security implications of climate change and the need to build resilience are increasingly moving from a topic of government backrooms to a topic of public debate.
Here there are many opportunities for cross-fertilisation with the climate resilience agenda. At present the climate resilience and climate-related security risk agendas have developed in parallel. Through exploring opportunities for increased UK-Dutch cooperation there is an opportunity to deepen synergies and deliver outcomes that are greater than the sum of their parts at the UNSG's Summit.
Speakers confirmed:
- General Tom Middendorp, Chair of the International Military Council on Climate & Security (IMCCS) & Senior Research Fellow, the Clingendael Institute
- Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, Honorary Professor and Director of Strategy at University College London
- Dr. Louise van Schaik, Head of Unit, Clingendael Institute and lead author of Climate Adaptation & Security paper for Global Commission on Adaptation
- Dr. Amiera Sawas, Senior Research and Policy Specialist, ActionAid UK
This event will take place during London Climate Action Week. It provides an opportunity for the Netherlands and the UK to showcase their evolving responses to dealing with the looming climate crisis and the climate-related security risk it brings, for the UK, the Netherlands and the broader European Neighbourhood and Commonwealth. It will also look ahead and pose the question of what appropriate responses to a Climate Emergency look like going forward and what this means for actions taken by the UK, the Netherlands and European actors more broadly.
The event is organised by E3G, the Clingendael Institute and the Planetary Security Initiative, in partnership with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the United Kingdom. The discussion will be followed by a drinks reception. Due to space constraints the event is invitation only with 60 seats available, but will be made available to the public via livestream.
We encourage policymakers, students, young professionals and journalists to get in touch to request an invitation.

from uturn barclay estate i tried waving down a cab, fully dressed in an over coat, i had a pink agbada under my over coat and my shoe shone like that of a man who just rubbed his shaved clean head with groundnut oil. i flashed a beam and i stood still on the road, struggling not to fall off because of my pot belle. at 45 what kind of belle were you excepting me to have, smirk one!!!!, no i am a fan of Gulder.
finally i entered muritala mohammed airport i walked towards the lobby and my eyes were set on the baggage claim.
later i got a flash ticket and i had to wait for another 2hrs for my appointed schedule. i sat down, my face was strong like a boy whose father just died after swallowing strong eba with ekuwamodu soap and stock fish. sweat ran out quickly and soon i was like a pot immersed into the stream.
a young man walked up to me and he took the seat beside me, he began with a smile as he admired my blings i was looking exactly like a madman that was just getting well, he couldn't hold it any longer soon it graduated into laughter. "whats your problem man" i exploded, spit slashed every where, he slipped out a handkerchief out of his suit and he wiped his face clean "are you been deported out of nigeria" he asked and i replied with a scowl "idiot" i knocked off at a range "i am travelling to Germany." the man gulped, his eye balls went bigger, then i continued "my uncle's dog died so he sent me money to buy a ticket and fly over for it's burial"
all of a sudden there was an eerie hush in the atmosphere, it was like a burning fire had been quenched, everyone who picked my word had their eyes on me, i felt stupid and i didn't know when hot urine escaped into my pants.
