How To Start A T-Shirt Company
Scottish clothing manufacturers, designers, and retailers tend to be of international significance only when they are linked to the knitwear or textile industry. Notable exceptions to this include the retailer John Stephen, who initiated the Carnaby Street boutique phenomenon of the 1960s, and the designers Bill Gibb, Alastair Blair, Pam Hogg, and Jean Muir. In the twenty-first century anonymous Scottish-based knitwear and textile designers continue to make an important contribution to international fashion, supplying international brands such as Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Ralph Lauren. Many twentieth-century fashion designers have referenced Scottish dress in some form in their collections. However, it is notable that it tends to be the more iconoclastic designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Jean-Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, and Alexander McQueen who repeatedly return to the use of either distinctively Scottish textiles, or the paraphernalia of Highland dress in their work. This demonstrates that despite the capacity of Highland dress and Scottish fashion textiles to encapsulate "authentic" reassuring connotations of history, they have also been endlessly reinvented to suit the changing character of fashion and popular notions of Scottish identity.

SEAMSTRESSES Seamstresses formed the main labor force, outside tailoring, which fueled the expansion of clothing production and related trades from the seventeenth century onward. This expansion was not dependent initially on technological developments or the introduction of a factory system, but on the pool of women workers. Their expendability and cheapness to their employers was effectively guaranteed by the sheer number of available women able and willing to use a needle, their general lack of alternative employment, and by the fact they then worked outside the control of guilds and latterly have been under-unionized. These seamstresses sewed goods for the increasing market for ready-made basic clothes such as shirts, breeches, waistcoats, shifts, and petticoats for working people, or slops as they were known (after the practice of sailors who stored their

Swiss Economic Award
The president of the the SEF-Award jury, Monika Ribar, praised the strong selection of nominees this year. She commended the courage, and perhaps a small amount of naitveté, that it takes to say yes and take risks in markets that are already saturated.
The award in the category of Production/Trade and Industry went to New Roots, the vegan cheese company founded in 2015 with a strong focus on sustainability and ethical business practices.
The winner of the Hightech-Biotech category is PXL Vision, the ETH-spin off identity security using computer-vision, machine learning and biometric facial recognition to scan ID documents and their holders.
The final award for Services goes to Pickwings, the online platform for connecting shippers with empty trucks on Swiss roads, saving resources and adding value at every level of the supply chain.
«Ich war noch nie so inspiriert und motiviert»
Im SEF-Bootcamp Next.Gen erhielten 30 Jugendliche zwischen 16 und 22 Jahren in den vergangenen Tagen Einblick in das Unternehmer-Leben. «Man bekommt jeden Tag so viel Inspiration, dass man sie kaum verarbeiten kann», schilderte die 17-jährige Gymnasiastin und Camp-Teilnehmerin Venus Mijatovic ihre Eindrücke am SEF. «Ich bin noch nie jeden Tag mit so viel Motivation aufgestanden.» Next.Gen habe sie darin bestärkt, einen Weg als Unternehmerin einzuschlagen. Der ebenfalls 17-jährige Amin Casutt sagte, ihm sei im Camp klar geworden, dass es als Unternehmer zentral sei, nicht aufzugeben, wenn auf die Anfangseuphorie das erste Loch folge. Zudem forderte Amin die SEF-Teilnehmenden auf, ihre Positionen dafür einzusetzen, einen Beitrag zur Lösung der globalen Probleme zu leisten. «Die Leute hier drin können mehr bewirken und schneller etwas bewegen als viele andere.»

The future of Brexit
The UK finds itself in an interesting moment in politics and history, according to Rt Boris Johnson. There is a clash going on, between direct and representative democracy, and the fundamental question is whether the will of the people will prevail over in these circumstances. The job of parliament is to educate, and the British parliament has failed to do so. Dire predictions of the effects Brexit would have are being tossed around without regard to their veracity. The referendum has split the country, and another would likely have an even more polarizing effect. The UK would prefer a pragmatic solution, claims Rt Boris Johnson, but for sake of progress a no deal situation must be accepted as a possibility. Switzerland is viewed as a kind of model for an ideal relationship with the EU with remaining a sovereign nation. Following the resignation of British Prime Minister Theresa May, Rt Boris Johnson declared he would be running in the next election; however, he did not wish to elaborate. The former Foreign Minister proceeded to compliment Theresa May on the hard work and effort she had put in and claimed that her successor would have a chance to do things differently.

The Future of Europe
Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi describes the Italian economy as "A good car, with a bad driver", stressing the manufacturing power of the country and strong economic performance of northern Italy and indicating bureaucracy and especially massive public debt as the greatest problems his country faces. Radical changes are needed, investments in ICT and AI. Speaking on his time as Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi believes progress was made as well as mistakes, asserting that risk need to be taken and regardless of the consequences and that garnering hatred is inevitable when facilitating change. Regarding modern politics, he acknowledges the role that social media plays and the power behind it, attributing populist success to it. Despite the politics of Europe being in flux, Matteo Renzi believes in the ideals of Europe and see potential in younger generations ready to create change. For Italy to access its full potential, it must reduce bureaucracy and fear of tomorrow.
Nestlé as a Global Corporation
Mark Schneider begins the interview by assuring that familiar and loved Nestlé products will be staying. Even though the corporation is leaving American food markets due to the small market share, their presence in Europe isn't going anywhere. Nestlé's diverse portfolio awards stability, but Mark Schneider underlines that having a wide focus and a narrow one for their specific sectors doesn't represent a dichotomy for him. Nestlé's shareholders are made up of many different demographics, however, he believes that this responsibility isn't too much of a burden. The way people shop is changing, there isn't any room for even slightly higher priced products that are needed in daily live, but people are often willing to pay more for items that have more personal value, for instance a car. Nestlé's efforts to spread around the world necessitate an equal distribution of effort throughout the corporation, and Mark Schneider reassures that Switzerland will remain central. Pertaining to the hard decisions one has to make as CEO, he posits that its about managing risks and opportunities, but one would have to be a robot to be completely unaffected. Finishing the interview, he states the importance of Nestlé giving back through environmental efforts around the globe.

Optimism in science
Carlo Rovelli speaks on two main points, optimism in science and science on a global, political scale. He describes science as optimistic in nature, what we don't understand today may be understood tomorrow. Optimism in science is based on a kind of pessimistic view, however, questioning what we already know. Throughout human history, scientific progress has been intermittent, stagnating when society balked at pursuing ration knowledge in fear of changing values. Carlo Rovelli feels that something similar is happening today, when half the population of on of the most powerful countries on earth rejects evolution and there is a revolution against the intellectual elite of the world. He differentiates between two kinds of optimism, a blind optimism of satisfaction with the way things are, and optimism that the future holds answers worth pursuing and problems worth facing. He urges everyone to apply political pressure to confront the problems facing us today and not to merely be satisfied with the state of the world.
SEF.Niesen Bergpreis
The SEF Niesen Bergpreis was awarded to Luiza Dubre, CEO and founder of Komed Health. Komed Health is a start-up which offers an improved platform for the exchange of information between patients, doctors and nurses and is about to be integrated into 35 hospitals in Switzerland, German and Great Britain.
The power of "No"
Donna Carpenter goes against the grain of the conference so far, speaking about the power of "no" and optimism in the face of rejection. Burton has dealt with no shortage of "nos", especially as a startup. As a new sport, snowboarding was deemed too dangerous and reckless by the ski industry, being banned from resorts and even having to defend their booths at trade events from trade unions. Difficulties didn't stop there, finding a manufacturer who wouldn't say no offered another challenge, with five rejections being followed by a partnership with Keil, who is now one of the largest snowboard manufacturers. The next snow came when Burton outgrew local banks and was written off as a fad by the larger ones. Donna Carpenter attributes these "nos" with a lot of Burton's success and adaptability, and with two majors shifts. Women's leadership and sustainability are two points that Burton takes a lot of pride in and has made central to their values, along with fair labor and stronger climate policies.
Lifetime-Achievement Award to Prof. Klaus Schwab for his work with the WEF
Prof. Klaus Schwab received the Lifetime Achievement Award through the Swiss Economic Forum for the founding of the WEF and his work in the organization. The WEF was founded with idea of serving society as well as shareholders by offering a global platform for world problems to be addressed. Prof. Schwab talks viewing Europe not as a commercial union, but as a cultural identity, seeing Europe lose global influence without unity, and the necessity WEF becoming a global organization reflecting the Swiss principle of neutrality. In response to criticism of the WEFs increasing size, Prof. Schwab maintains that the conference in Davos is merely the tip of the iceberg, and the more governments and NGOs that can be involved, the better. With all the changes that occur with growth, Prof. Schwab has stayed true to his ideals and principles. Even while the WEF definitely has offshoots in plenty of different countries, Switzerland remains vital to the organization as a neutral platform.
Sustaining happiness
What can one do to sustain optimism? Tal Ben-Shahar divides the answer into 3 main elements. First of all, it is ok the be human. It is important not to reject negative emotions, but rather accept them, let them flow through you, and move on. Social media especially creates an illusion of happiness everywhere and leads to repression of fear, concern, envy and so on. The paradox in this is that repression intensifies these negative emotions. Secondly, stress isn't the problem. We are good with dealing with stress, and stress is even good for us to a certain extent. The problem is with the lack of recovery. Tal Ben-Shahar iterates the calming effect of consistent breathing exercises, getting a good night's sleep and vacation. Finally, it's important not to avoid pain and hardship, but to embrace it and find what is learn from it. The optimists code is not to think that everything happens for the best, but rather to find the best in whatever may happen.
Optimism, planning and vision
Prof. Andrea Pfeifer speaks on her efforts in Alzheimer and Dementia research as a scientist and as CEO of AC Immune. As a child with parents affected by the disease, she has always seen a dire need for solutions to something that afflicts an enormous part of the population. Despite the intangibility of a lot of the research in her field, Andrea Pfeifer stresses the importance of structure and planning while striving for progress. Optimism is also a factor, as well as the ability to see progress, even if it is only in the sense of having learned something new. It's important to be an optimist, but in research, it's important to also have a vision. In AC Immune, financing, company culture and structure were carefully considered with the future growth and development of the company in mind. One decision Prof. Pfeifer would make differently today would be to look for American investors earlier, seeing as the USA is more advanced concerning medical research. It remains her dream and passion to find a lasting treatment for neurodegenerative diseases.

Open-minded into the future
How does one remain optimistic during times of political turmoil and a daunting future? According to Johan Norberg, we've always been worried about the future. Every generation has always rejected disruptive new technology while longing for "the good old days", without even specifically knowing when or what "the good old days" were. The cycle of growing up, being confronted with the horrors of the world and worrying is one that has been perpetuated for as long as there has been progress. This is compounded by the fact that the 24-hour news cycle exposes us to primarily negative stories, while the more positive aspects of the modern day take a backseat. In the last 25 years, immense humanitarian progress has been made. He compares Switzerland to Sweden in the 1960s, successful and on top of the world, but warms that Sweden lost this status after taking it for granted and rejecting new, disruptive things. The three main conclusions Johan Norberg draws from these observations are the necessity of accepting that the world isn't as bad as it seems, of change to preserve what has already been achieved and y of open-mindedness towards new, "disruptive" things.
Innovation in Asia, Prof. Howard Yu
In the technology rivalry between China and the USA, what leads to China's continuous innovation? Prof. Howard Yu describes the state of the internet in China as one in which there is still room to grow, due to the internet not yet being as saturated as the USA. There is no dominant country that has filled every niche yet, and with a larger group of people using online shopping and, mobile payments and general e-commerce, there is plenty of competition. Competition leads to innovation and many Chinese companies start off as copy-cats and corner their market through low-tech but creative innovation before moving on to larger goals. Additionally, China has a much larger pool of end-users, continuously providing essentially free optimization. As to the role of Switzerland in this "spliternet", Prof. Yu sees the country in an advantageous position as a potential liaison between the two sides.
SEF.KMU with Martine und Jean-Paul Clozel
Martine and Jean-Paul Closel are CSO and CEO of Indoria Pharmaceuticals, the company they spun out of their previous biotech company, Actelion, in 2017. After the sale, stopping the kind of work they did was unimaginable for the couple. Still driven to pursue research, the couple saw founding Indorsia as a perfect solution. Optimistic from the beginning, they describe the early process as being much easier than their first company. Being able to draw on familiar employees, more financial resources and still highly motivated significantly ameliorated the process. Indorsia maintains a fascinating portfolio of research, including sleep medication in the third phase of testing that could provide a more natural sleep than other concurrent medications. Jean- Paul Closel describes the world as changing, and believes that while one shouldn't forget past successes, it is still important to adapt and prepare for the future.

Optimism and global geopolitics, Ian Bremmer
Opening by denoting the initially apparent rift between optimism and geopolitics, Ian Bremmer continues by describing how the world is entering a "geopolitical recession". Nations worldwide are upset; the public is willing to vote for people they didn't used to be willing to vote for. This is the result of economic inequality, despite a strong global economy and leads to a lack general openness among people who feel abandoned. The effect of social media is very prominent among the disenfranchised, creating echo chambers and further "weaponizing" this frustration. At the same time that many people are feeling the system has failed the, China, as an alternative economy not based on a democratic, free market system, is becoming the strongest economy in the world. What, during this monumental change coupled with political unrest, is the cause for optimism?
For Ian Bremmer, its global warming. All the suffering it has and will cause is of course regrettable, but global warming has pushed entrepreneurs to extraordinary innovation and progress in recent years, and globalization has led to more diversification on an international scale.
Opening speech by the President of the Federal Council
Federal President Ueli Maurer highlights three key points; protectionism, geographical shifts, and new technologies. Protectionism is problematic for a neutral country such as Switzerland and demands that the country positions itself in a manner to avoid being crushed between international gears. International relations are critical for Switzerland as a small, neutral economy, and protectionism must be managed carefully. Pertaining to geographical shifts, it is equally important for Switzerland to maintain trusting relationships with China and the USA, as well as burgeoning economies with large potential, such as that of Indonesia. As a neutral country, Switzerland must remain active and present on the international stage as an unbiased liaison. New technologies are ever developing, and the government must strive to offer an ideal environment for their development as well as platforms to optimally utilize them. Blockchain technology, as an example, offers promising applications. The question of what is possible and what is ethically supportable is one that Switzerland is capable of answering.

I'm always looking into new ways of pampering myself, and I'm finding these DIY bath melts to be quite the treat. As a working mom and grandma, I have to set aside some me-time because if I don't, I'll probably go crazy! So when it comes to pampering, I just can't resist a relaxing bath. The mixture of bubbles and the soothing warmth of hot water are luxuries I can't deny myself.
DIY Bath Melts Were Probably The Easiest
I've made plenty of bath bombs in the past, as well as homemade bath oils and salts. So I took to Pinterest to look for something new I've never tried before. After scrolling through pages of things I've already made, I came across these cute little mixtures of cosmetic butter that people are calling 'DIY bath melts'. The idea is that you drop them into the bath and let the butters melt, filling your bath with nourishing oil and a hint of gorgeous fragrance. I had to give them a try.
Interestingly enough, I found that out of all the bath and body DIYs I've done, these DIY bath melts were probably the easiest. The recipe has so few ingredients that I didn't even need to go out and buy anything. I found this to be the perfect craft to use up bits of cosmetic butter I had lying around. There's also so much room for customization, and I always enjoy adding my own flair to anything and everything I make.
So let's take a look at what we'll need to whip up these gorgeous drops of relaxation.
What You Need To Make Homemade Bath Melts
- 2 Parts Shea Butter (70g)
- 1 Part Solid Coconut Oil (35g)
- 10-20 drops Essential Oil/Fragrance Oil
- Dried Calendula Flowers
- Plastic/Silicon Molds or Paper Cupcake Molds/Sauce Pots
- Depending on your mold, this should get you anywhere from 6-8 DIY bath melts
The solid butter can be substituted for any cosmetic butter that is reasonably hard. Cocoa butter is a great alternative, but you could also use mango butter. Coconut oil is kind of necessary, as it's one of the best solid oils you can get. However, you can substitute this for a second solid butter. This might be a good option if you live in a hot climate.
If you want to add a dash of color, you can totally use a pinch of mica. However, these look just as good without it. Sometimes bath melts do not color so well for various reasons, or you may find that if you cannot cool them quick enough the mica will settle at the bottom of the mold, making the coloring look a little uneven. Instead of using a color in the mixture, maybe try and dust the top once they're hardened to give it an interesting look.
How To Make My Shea Butter Bath Melts
Step 1: Measure out your butter and oil and place them in a heat-proof jug or beaker.
Step 2: Melt your butter and solid oil. You will want to make use of a water bath to do this. Simply fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, Turn the heat down to a simmer and place the jug/beaker into the water. Allow to melt for around 10-15 minutes, or until the solids have completely melted.
Step 3: Now that the butter has melted, we can add our extra ingredients. If you are using a fragrance oil, you can add it right away. If using an essential oil, it's best to let it cool for a minute first to get the most out of it.
Step 4: In order to get the calendula flowers to sit nicely at the top of your bath bomb, I found adding the flowers to the mold first and then pouring a small amount of the mixture into the mold works best.
Pop it in the fridge and let it sit there for about 20 minutes. This should harden it enough to pour the rest. But be sure to get back in the fridge right away once you've done your second pour.
Sometimes your cosmetic butter will cool and harden while you're waiting for your initial pour if mixture to harden in the fridge. To prevent this, I recommend popping the jug back into the water bath while you wait. Don't turn the heat on, just let it sit in the warm water. This should prevent unwanted cooling.
Step 5: Place back into the fridge and leave for at least 1 hour. Then you can remove from the mold. However, be careful when handling them as the heat from your hands can melt these quite quickly.
It's best to keep these stored in the fridge, especially if you live in a warm climate. To use, just drop one homemade bath melt into a hot bath and enjoy a soothing, relaxing soak that should leave your skin feeling lovely and soft!
Important: Make sure you're careful when you get in and out of the bath, as I've found that these can make the bath a little slippery. Just be cautious.
Final Thoughts On Making Bath Melts
- So there we have it, some gorgeous homemade bath melts for you and your family to enjoy. I really enjoyed making them and adding my own spin to it. I totally recommend you do the same. If there's a cosmetic butter you prefer to use, go ahead and use that! If you wanna put your own choice of skin safe herbs, flower petals or other additives, you totally can! There's a lot of freedom in making your own homemade bath products.
- The only thing that I found troubling with DIY bath melts is that they're a little difficult to gift or sell. If you're planning on gifting these, I recommend pouring them into cupcake cups or sauce pots for them to sit in until your giftee wants to use them. These little melts are totally susceptible to melting, and it doesn't take much.
- While I don't think these DIY bath melts are likely to melt at room temperature (in a mild climate), the heat of your hands is enough to get these melting. So just have a think about how you're planning to gift them before you do.
I really hope you've enjoyed reading this how to, and I totally wish you good luck in making them yourselves. Let me know how you got on in the comments section below, as I love to hear your own experiences. Also, let us know how you plan to gift them if you are. Don't forget to like us on Facebook and share this craft with all your friends – everyone deserves a bit of a pamper session from time to time.

Are you thinking about how you will do this if you can no longer run your favorite sport because of the health reasons? Thinking about how you live when you can't play sports for health reasons? So far, Sport has been a very solid part of your life and you can't imagine that it should be different?
You will be satisfied
Sports can be a part of your life even if you have a medical restriction. If you have been advised by your doctor to reduce physical strain, listen to it. But it is not necessary to give up sports. For example, if you want to operate cycling, you can buy an electric bike. Pedelecs Save your energy and you don't have to bother. While driving, you will be assisted by a battery located in the frame of the bike, so you can only play as much as your health allows.

text: Family Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (F-CBT) believes that family members individually and collectively do not simply react emotionally or behaviourally to life events within and outside the family. How they think individually and collectively about their personal and family reality is key to the way they react to that reality. According to F-CBT the way family members individually and collectively think (cognition), the way they feel (emotion) and the way they act (behaviour) all interact together. The F-CBT therapist can teach and help family members to identify current and intergenerational distorted and good thinking processes and contents (González-Prendes & Resko, 2012; Hollon & Beck,1994). The good processes and contents are added to the individual family member's and the family's collective 'basket of resilience' to be transmitted to future generations. The primary component of F-CBT is the Family Psychological Education (FPE). The secondary component of F-CBT is a specialist children therapy, parent therapy and joint family reunion therapy (Selemo & Mirea, 2014).

Tiger Woods's former swing coach has found a new job.
Chris Como, who worked with Woods in a "swing consultant" role from November 2014 until December 2017, has joined Dallas National Golf Club as its director of instruction, as first reported by Dallas Morning News.
Dallas National is Jordan Spieth's home course.
Woods announced his split from Como in December, writing in a note on Twitter his intention to go forward on his own. "I'm grateful to Chris Como for his past work, and I have nothing but respect for him," Woods wrote.
Como was optimistic about Woods's game going forward in a statement he released to GOLF.com after the split.
"Tiger is ready to have an incredible next run in his career," Como said. "I'm eager to watch what will be one of the most exciting sports comebacks of all time. I will continue to be a close friend and resource to him and am extremely excited about Tiger's future, the golf industry and for the fans of golf."
Como has been named to GOLF Magazine's list of Top 100 Teachers every year since 2013. Before the move to Dallas National, Como worked at Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Texas.
Dallas National recently made headlines it hosted a star-studded group that included Spieth, Steph Curry and President Obama.


text: Tony J. Peterson Rut Hunting Whitetails The most difficult, easiest time you'll spend in the deer woods all season It's finally here. The time when all of those bucks that have given us random nocturnal drive-bys on our trail cameras will decide they've had enough of living the cautious life. They'll catch their first whiff of an amenable doe, or maybe just hear two subordinates pushing each other around in the bedding area and decide it's time to get moving.It's a lovely time, the rut. It's also a strange period for deer hunters because it's so full of promise. Too full, in many cases. Reality has a strange way of disappearing for long periods of time when we envision the rut, and even when it's knocking us upside the head after a few days of buck-less sits in stand.The truth is, the rut is awesome. And it sucks. This depends on a lot of factors, but there is a great way to make it suck less. Several in fact.Life In A Dead ProgramEven though the typical whitetail hunter talks a big game about funnels, pinch points and terrain features that absolutely force cruising bucks to go through specific spots, most of us sit field edges. Or we sit the edge of the same food plots we've watched since bow season opened months ago. This field-edge program is often fairly dead by the time the rut rolls around, although we believe new life will be breathed into it by the seasonal timing. This can be the case, but doesn't have to be. Just because it's November 5th and you lug a full-body decoy into a soybean field doesn't mean the bucks will show up. Be honest with yourself about your stand choices. Are you going to an easy setup and hoping the rut will make up for your laziness? If so, you might have success anyway, but you probably won't. To tag out in the rut on anything other than blind luck, you've got to keep hunting.Fresh Sign & SightingsI spend most of my fall hunting public land in various states for whitetails. What I've found is that if I'm not either looking for the freshest sign or moving to where I've actually seen whitetails, I'm not usually in danger of filling too many tags. This has bled over into my November hunting, where I'll admit it's pretty easy to become complacent.The thing is, even though there should be bucks cruising all over, they won't be. They'll be trotting through very specific spots, and if you're not set up on one of those spots you're not going to do very well. Many of these spots coincide with loads of fresh rubs and scrapes, for obvious reasons.Take a page out of the elk hunter's playbook and look for the freshest sign and the places where you actually lay eyes on your quarry. When either happens, be ready to set up and hunt. Stick A Finger In The AirNature isn't random very often. Even though we don't understand why a buck walked through the woods tonight on a specific ridge and not any of the other nights we sat there doesn't mean it was just a random decision on the deer's part. They definitely move more during the rut, but most of their movement is dictated to some degree by the wind direction.I'm only assuming here, but it seems very likely that in a world where they only get to spend time with a lady friend a couple of times for the entire year, most mature bucks aren't going to waste a lot of time cruising low odds areas. They also aren't going to trot through their best-odds areas when the wind isn't giving them plenty of hints at just which does are in their neighborhood and what their current status of randiness is.Think about how a deer would use the wind to his advantage during the rut, and use that to your advantage as a hunter. He's going to scent check areas and travel in a way that he can see danger ahead, and smell danger (and does) where he can't see. That means that you've got to sit winds that are almost as good for him as you so that he believes he's got his best sense working to keep him safe and get him some tail. Tick TockYou've heard it a million times, but hear me out - spend more time in the woods. If you have to sit in a ground blind and read a book to do it, do that. If you have to strap 76 handwarmers to your body and play Candy Crush on your phone all day, figure out how to make that happen. The best hunters out there fall into a lot of categories, but one where there is always plenty of overlap is time available, and time spent in the woods actively hunting. A two-hour sit in the morning and a two hour sit in the evening won't cut it. If you have the time, use it.ConclusionThe rut isn't as easy as many of us believe, but it certainly can be made easier by engaging in smart hunting. That might seem like a no-brainer, but I always think about it by using Iowa as an example. Bowhunters in Iowa get the entire month of November to hunt, which by conventional rut rationale would suggest they should have an extremely high success rate. Much higher, than say Minnesota, where the gun season opens the first weekend in November. The rub is, they don't. There are a lot of bowhunters in Iowa who blank, despite having the entire rut to themselves. Don't be one of those hunters who comes into November thinking it'll be easy. Keep working, plan your hunts correctly, and give it time.If you do, you'll get your chance. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

A pair of Canada Geese walk through a flooded grass seed field. This is a common scene in the Willamette Valley as seven subspecies of these geese visit each fall and winter. This painting is about capturing the subtle reflections in the background water and exemplifying the beautiful colors and dramatic light of something that is seen everyday.

The Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) Source Water Protection program facilitates the creation of watershed-based protection plans that act as the first line of defense in a multi-barrier approach to protecting drinking water.
The program was created as a result of the province's 2006 Clean Water Act, which requires the assessment of threats to sources of drinking water and the implementation of protection plans. This program covers both groundwater and surface water sources. To comply with this requirement, Ontario established source protection areas based on natural watershed boundaries and created local multi-stakeholder source protection committees to engage in planning efforts for each area. Source protection authorities provide local program delivery. Source protection plans have been developed by these committees for all source protection areas and received the official approval of MECP. Copies of these plans as well as other locally-focused resources related to source water protection planning and implementation are available online. These watershed-based plans are implemented mainly by provincial and municipal levels of government. Plan policies require actions to reduce, eliminate or manage identified risks. Examples of these actions range from changing land uses, to prohibiting or restricting activities that pose a threat to source water or setting up septic system inspection programs through local health departments.

Sonos is the biggest name in multi-room audio. Sure, the likes of Amazon's Echo range and Apple's HomePod have added some much needed mainstream competition, but Sonos is still the name that regular folk associate with sorting a multi-room speaker setup for their homes.
It's super simple to get a Sonos system up and running in your house, although if you're starting from scratch, it can be daunting deciding which are the best Sonos speakers to invest in.
Make sure you check out our Sonos missing manual for an in-depth walkthrough of the system in its entirety, but if you're just looking for a rundown of the latest, best Sonos speakers then read on.
The best Sonos speakers
In total, there are eight different Sonos speakers capable of audio output, though one of these is a sub and a few are TV-specialists. Confused? You needn't be – here's the lowdown on each and every one of them.
Sonos One SL
Buy now: Amazon, sonos.com | $179
The Sonos One replaces the Play:1, but it's essentially a Sonos One without the smart assistants. In fact, it's barely distinguishably by its slightly smarter twin, with only the lack of microphones the giveaway here.
Who is this for? Anyone who wants the cheapest "in" to the Sonos ecosystem but also doesn't care or want Alexa or the Google Assistant. Maybe you don't like the idea of putting microphones in your home. Maybe you just don't care about that stuff.
The One SL is a bookshelf speaker that's ideal for bedrooms, offices, kitchens and the like. It's a powerful little speaker on its own but it also works brilliantly in a larger room, paired up to form a duo of stereo speakers.
More than Sonos' mic drop, the SL offer plenty of audio bang for its buck, with two Class-D digital amplifiers, a tweeter for clear high-frequency response and a mid-woofer for mid-range vocal frequencies. It's also cheaper than the One by $20.
Sonos Move
Buy now: Amazon, sonos.com | $399
Sonos has finally built a Bluetooth speaker, bringing its expertly-tuned sound to the great outdoors. And it sure as hell wants you to know about it .– the Sonos Move is loud.
It's also a speaker of two parts. Indoors, it connects to your Wi-Fi like any other Sonos speaker and behaves just like a Sonos One: there's Alexa and Google Assistant built in, AirPlay 2 support, and easily slips into your multi-room system. But hit that Bluetooth button on the back and you're free to roam, with up to 10 hours of battery life to play with (so long as you're playing at a "moderate volume").
The Move also has Automatic Trueplay, which will automatically optimize its sound for the space around it – but only when it's on Wi-Fi.
Sonos Play:5
Buy now: Amazon | sonos.com$499
The flagship Play:5 is a highly-evolved version of Sonos' first ever speaker. It boasts six Class-D digital amplifiers, six dedicated speaker drivers, three tweeters and three mid-woofers.
The Play:5 has a line-in on the back for CD players, turntables and the like, and also offers up a pair of Ethernet ports so it can act as a handy switch or extender for your wired devices. It can sit in either portrait or landscape too, and comes in a choice of black or white.
Compared to the One and One SL, the Play:5 offers a much fuller sound, with an improved mid-range especially – something that feels rather hollowed out on the other two.
Sonos One
Buy now: Amazon , sonos.com | $199
The Sonos One is the "other" entry-level speaker into the Sonos ecosystem. It's not actually the cheapest – the SL is – but it is the cheapest if you want Google Assistant/Alexa integration.
You can also control your non-Alexa Sonos speakers through your Echo devices, but the One has the smart assistants built in, i.e. you can use it to control your lights, locks and the like, as well as asking for Alexa or the GA's help with various digital tasks. It's also an AirPlay 2 speaker, so it can be grouped up with HomePods and other AirPlay 2-enabled speakers.
In March 2019, Sonos refreshed the One with the Gen 2 model: differences include a faster processor and more memory – and the addition of Bluetooth Low Energy, making it easier to set up the speaker initially.
Like the Play models, it's white or black as standard – but there are also HAY Sonos One Limited Edition versions (of gen-1 Ones), which add a splash of color for $30 extra.
Sonos Beam
Buy now: Amazon, sonos.com | $399
The newest and most compact member of the Sonos gang, the Sonos Beam can, of course, be used as a regular Sonos speaker but really it's designed to beef-up your TV's audio – it connects via HDMI ARC. It's also Sonos' second speaker to pack in Alexa.
It boasts a single tweeter in the middle and three passive radiators, as well as four full-range woofers. There's also a five-mic array for voice control, which makes it easy for Alexa or the Google Assistant to hear you from a distance over whatever is being played through the speaker. AirPlay 2 is also on board.
Sonos Ikea Symfonisk
Buy now: Ikea | From $99
Ok, so technically this is the cheapest way into the Sonos ecosystem, but that's because it's not actually built by Sonos. Rather, Ikea's Symfonisk speakers put Sonos sound tech inside Ikea-built furniture. Right now there's a table lamp and a bookshelf speaker, but there's promise of more to come.
Both speakers share the same guts: two class-D amplifiers, one tweeter and one mid-woofer (though the size of these obviously varies between the two). In terms of quality though, they're a little less impressive than the Sonos One – but still sound great.
Sonos Playbar
Buy now: Amazon, sonos.com | $699
Sonos' aging soundbar is a heavier hitter than the Beam and can be wall mounted, or can sit below the TV on a unit. It's easy enough to set your TV remote to control the volume and the sound stage created by a solitary speaker for movies and TV shows is awesome.
Like the Beam, it can also be used as a speaker for non TV audio, and it boasts nine amplified speaker drivers: six mid-range and three tweeters.
Sonos Playbase
Buy now: Amazon, sonos.com | $699
The Playbase is Sonos' soundbase – designed to sit under your TV. On paper, it trumps the Playbar with an extra digital amplifier, but Sonos has tuned them to sound as similar to each other as possible, so your choice comes down to what works best with your TV setup.
Both the Playbar and the Playbase connect to your TV through a digital optical cable, and as well as playing back your TV's audio in stereo or Dolby Digital, they can also play music from the same sources as a regular Sonos speaker, in addition to being part of a multi-room speaker setup.
Sonos Sub
Buy now: Amazon, sonos.com | $699
The Playbar, Playbase and Beam all add brilliant sound improvements to your home cinema setup solo, but can also be teamed up with other Sonos' speakers as part of a surround sound setup – and that's where the Sub comes in.
However, Sonos' subwoofer isn't just for a TV surround setup; it's also brilliant for adding bass to your music and, again, you can just throw it into a group as per a regular speaker.

The beauty of life is at the core of my artistic expression, and love flows through all I do. As a singer and actor, I was drawn to the glamour and refinement of classic Hollywood; and as the daughter of caterer, party planning and designing decor flowed through me as a second nature. With both performing and visual arts, I've always known that the ambience of your surroundings, not only creates a stunning picture, but it allows for you to feel engaged in the beauty all around. Flowers are nature's most beautiful gift. If there is one truth my life of creativity has taught me, it's that the center of all art is love. It is my hope that the beauty of your day captures the essence of your romance.
Best wishes – Valerie

Basic components of a microirrigation system are the pump, filtration equipment, controllers, main pressure regulators, control valves, water-measuring devices, and chemical injection equipment, which usually are centrally located at the pump/filtration station; the delivery system, including the main and submain pipelines that transfer water from

the source to the manifolds, which also may have filters, pressure regulators, and control valves; the manifolds, which supply water to the laterals; and the laterals, which carry water to the emitters. Figure 5.34 shows the layout of a typical system.
Pump/Filration Station
Elements that may be required at the central supply point include (see [11, 98, 123, 127-130]):
• a reservoir to store water if the water supply varies in rate or time from the system requirements;
• a pump to pressurize the water (unless the water supply is adequately pressurized);
• a backflow prevention valve to prevent the backward flow of water that may contain chemicals or fertilizers into the pump or main supply system or well;
• a chemical injection system for injecting fertilizer and chemicals into the microirrigation system;
• primary, and possibly secondary, filters to clean particulates from the water;
• control valves to manually or automatically regulate flows or pressures;
• an air-release/vacuum relief valve, located at a high point, used to release any air before it enters the delivery system and relieve vacuums following pump shutdown or valve closure; and
• a flow measurement device.
Filtration. Filters are critical to reduce clogging of drippers by solid particles suspended in the water. Prefiltration also may be required to prevent damage to the pump and valves. Burt and Styles [124] give details about filtration needs and designs.
Prefiltration usually is accomplished by settling in a reservoir and/or some type of prescreening. Water residence time in reservoirs should be 1-2 h to settle out all sand-sized particles and a portion of the silts. Reservoirs may introduce organic contaminants such as algae into the water supply. Prescreens include manual or automatically brushed trash racks and coarse screens, self-cleaning gravity overfall screens such as turbulent fountain screens [61], and manual and self-cleaning cylindrical screens for pump intakes.
Four main types of filters are used with microirrigation systems. The vortex sand separator (hydrocyclone) can be used to remove dispersed solid material, particularly sand. The hydrocyclone is a conical container, wider at the top. Water enters tangentially at the top and flows down at a high rotational velocity. This pushes the solid particles against the wall of the container from where they are carried downward toward the collecting chamber. The clean water at the bottom reverses direction and flows upward axially through the center of the container and out the discharge line. The accumulated sand is discharged periodically from the lower-end chamber. Sand separators should not be used as the final filter because it removes only a portion of the particulates.
Cylindrical screen filters use finely woven screen to prevent passage of particles. Screens work best for mineral particles (sands and silts) and for water without a large particulate load. The screens usually are cleaned by flushing water through the upstream chamber. However, the flow velocity across the screen surface is seldom sufficient to clean the screen. More thorough cleaning requires backflushing clean water through the screen, or by manually removing the screen cylinder and cleaning it. Screen filters are available with an automatic vacuuming mechanism that cleans the screen.
Figure 5.36. Media filiters: (a) Normal operation; (b) reverse flow for filter cleaning.
Figure 5.36. Media filiters: (a) Normal operation; (b) reverse flow for filter cleaning.
Disc filters comprise a series of grooved discs that are stacked together. When pressed together, the rings form a cylindrical filtering body. They work well for removing mineral and organic matter. They are cleaned by separating the disks and washing them off. Self-cleaning disc filters are available that automatically release the tension on the discs and backflush water through them.
Media filters use sand and gravel in tanks to filter out both mineral and organic particles (Fig. 5.36). The sand is sized to achieve the required filtration. Media filters are recommended when the water is relatively dirty. They are cleaned by diverting the inlet and backflushing clean water through the media. Effective cleaning requires sufficient backflush water velocity to lift the sand media without washing it away.
Filters are designed on the basis of flow rate and allowable pressure drop, the amount and type of suspended particles in the flow, and the size of particulates that are allowed to pass. Some self-cleaning screen and disc filters require as much as 220 kPa pressure to operate effectively, and may require downstream pressure-sustaining valves.
Emitter manufacturers should specify the filtration size required. Typically, the system must filter to at least one-fifth, and preferable to one-tenth, the smallest opening in the emitter. For example, water for a microspray with a 0.4-mm orifice would need to be filtered to at least 80 ¡m. Common filters for microirrigation filter to between 80 and 150 ¡m.
When water carries a large amount of suspended material, the filter should clean automatically. Automatic cleaning can occur in response to pressure loss across the filter and/or at preset time intervals. In media and disk filters, the flow through the filter must be reversed, and so, multiple filters must be used in parallel so that, as the filters are cleaned in turn, the others can operate normally to continue to discharge to the fields and to supply clean backflush water.
Where the water is relatively dirty, use of two filters in series is desirable. This prevents the microirrigation system from being ruined if one of the filters fails. A common combination is to have an automatic, self-cleaning media filter backed up by a manual screen filter. The backup filters also can be placed at the inlets to the manifolds in the field, to protect against particulates that might enter the pipelines during repairs or from scale or algae that might originate in the pipelines.
Filters do not, as a rule, completely solve the problem of clogging. Microirrigation laterals should be flushed periodically to remove accumulated fine particles. Calcium carbonate deposits in the system can be dissolved with a solution of nitric or hydrochloric acid (2 to 5 L acid per m3 water). Deposits of organic material can be removed by flushing the system with water for about 15 min and then with compressed air under high pressure. When surface waters are used, microorganisms and small algae may pass through the filter and later accumulate and grow within the system. Treatment with chlorine (1 to 5 mg L-1) continuously or periodically will prevent algae growth.
Some substances in the water, such as iron and manganese, pose special clogging problems [124]. An analysis of irrigation water for inorganic constituents is recommended before design of the filtration/chemigation system.
Chemical Injection. Fertilizer and other soluble chemicals such as acids and chlorine can be added to the pressurized water by several methods. The simplest method is to bypass a small portion of the flow around a fitting that creates a small head loss or pressure differential (<5 kPa), through a chemical storage tank. As the water flows into the tank, the solution is forced out the opposite end and into the system. A valve regulates the flow rate. The tank must be able to hold the maximum expected system pressure. Depending on the density and mixing of the solution, the chemical concentration of the tank outflow will decrease with time. This simple method is used only if the concentration of the added chemical can vary with time. A variation on this pressure-tank concept is to pressurize the tank with a compressed gas (usually N2) to force the solution into the irrigation system.
Electrically driven injection pumps are an accurate method for adding chemicals at a constant rate. The flow rate of these diaphragm or piston pumps is regulated with a motor speed controller, or by mechanical adjustment of the piston displacement. The pump materials must be compatible with the chemicals used. Good-quality injection pumps are relatively expensive and require good maintenance, but they deliver an adjustable, constant flow and require no pressure loss in the water delivery system. Hydraulically driven injection pumps are also available. Some hydraulic pumps can automatically adjust flow rate proportional to the system flow rate to maintain constant chemical concentrations.
The third method to inject chemicals is through a venturi. All or a portion of the flow is diverted through a venturi. High-velocity flow through the venturi throat, such that the flow velocity head exceeds the water pressure, creates suction that draws solution from the chemical tank. Chemical injection venturis are available in a range of sizes and configurations. A large venturi in the delivery line creates a substantial (15%-30%) pressure loss. A valve in the delivery line to create the bypass flow through a small venturi is simple and inexpensive, but requires more than 70 kPa pressure drop in the water delivery system, and thus can be very expensive in terms of energy cost. A less-energy-consuming alternative is to use a small booster pump to bypass a small portion of the water through the small venturi.
Fertilizers and chemicals that will not cause filter damage should be injected upstream of the final filter in case particulates are introduced with the solution. Chemical application should begin after the lateral lines are fully pressurized and cease with sufficient irrigation time remaining to flush the entire system with clean irrigation water.
Control/Monitoring Devices. Pressure regulators are required if the inlet pressure to the system may vary beyond an acceptable range. Reasons for varying pressure include fluctuating water supply pressures, such as fluctuating well-water depths, and varying system flow rates. Constant system pressure will ensure constant irrigation application rates to all manifolds. Pressure regulation is critical if the pressure can exceed the burst pressure of system components. A pressure relief valve can protect against system overpressure.
If system hydraulics or topography result in nonuniform pressure at the various manifolds, regulators may be required at the manifold inlets. Pressure-compensating emitters may eliminate the need for system pressure regulation. Pressure regulators normally require 40 to 80 kPa pressure loss to operate properly and thus may increase the system pressure requirements [116].
Microirrigation allows precise water application. Automatic control of microirrigation provides precise water application without high labor. Automatic control of irrigation times can be accomplished in a number of ways. Commonly, a master-control unit is installed at the central pump/filtration station and is connected via buried wires to field stations located along the main pipeline. Each field station in turn controls a number of automatic valves (fitted with solenoids) at the inlets to submains or manifolds. The system automatically activates successive groups of manifolds to apply any desired amount of water and fertilizer. The control unit records any problems, such as pump failures, that may occur.
Flow measurement is important to ensure that the system is operating as designed. Decreased flow rate is often the first indication that emitters are plugged. Increased flow may indicate system failures such as lateral breaks. Flow totalizers document power outages. Flow should be measured at the pump/filtration station, and may be measured at submains. Because microirrigation water is clean, several types of mechanical and electronic devices can be used. Pressure measurement also is recommended to help verify proper system operation.
A manifold with its attached laterals is the basic system subunit and the last control point in the system. Manual valves, automatic valves, pressure regulators, filters, and flow measurement can be provided at manifold inlets. These controls also can be provided upstream at bifurcations between the main and submain units. Upstream from pressure control points, the allowed pressure variation for the subunit does not affect pipe-size selection. Therefore, the selection of pipe sizes for the main water supply lines should be based primarily on the economic trade-off between energy costs and costs for pipe and installation.
Normal operating pressures being low, the pipe pressure class rating will be determined more by structural strength than by system requirements. Air-vacuum release and pressure-relief valves should be considered and incorporated into the main system at the appropriate locations. Means to flush and drain the pipelines also should be provided.
