I've been very motivated by the upcycle chatter in the blogosphere. So motivated I decided to try my hand at it.
The 1st try didn't turn out so bad. I mean, it's wearable. Is it fabulous and fashion-forward? No, not by a long shot. But my sewing skills are extremely rusty. I haven't sewed more than a straight line let along a complete garment in 15? 20? years??? Perhaps I need to do what my friend did and take a sewing class. It seriously couldn't hurt!
That said I like it ok. And it was very easy. It's made from 2 extra large grey t-shirts I found in the dollar bin. I didn't do the neck detail. That's how the 1st t-shirt was originally. I cut both down to my size and using the 2nd t-shirt (which was plain) I added my skirt.
My biggest issue with it at the moment is it's not very figure-flattering. But I'm confident in my current slow-but-steady weight-loss. Since April 1st of this year I've lost 24 lbs. And I'm confident I'll continue on this current plan (it's so friggin easy!!!!!) so once I reach my goal I think this dress will look cuter. I'll just have to bring in the top a bit.

EVERY time the man from Hyundai mentioned the words 'Ioniq BEV' I couldn't stop thinking of a movie pitch featuring a crime-fighting superhero lunch-lady. The reality isn't quite as exciting, and thankfully the Koreans are now calling it the Ioniq Electric but it nevertheless carries a pretty snappy tagline. 'Australia's cheapest EV' ought to guarantee a decent return at the box office for the Koreans.
2019 Electric Vehicle Megatest: Introduction
The Ioniq Electric is but one part of a three-pronged hedge from Hyundai, offering a base Ioniq hybrid, a plug-in version and this, the range-topping EV version. While the duller plug-in could well be the more pragmatic pick for most Aussies, the comparatively extrovert Electric is the car that's going to mop up the column inches and with good reason.
Pitching in at $44,990 for the Elite and $48,990 for the Platinum flagship, it features a 28kWh lithium-ion battery for a real-world range of 230 kilometres. The 88kW permanent-magnet synchronous motor delivers a peak of 295Nm in Sport mode which eases back slightly to 265Nm in Normal or Eco.
Read next: 2019 Hyundai Ioniq is the cheapest EV you can buy
It's not the quietest EV we've ever driven, and at a modest 90km/h cruise, your passengers probably wouldn't even guess it was electrically powered, such is the drum from the 16-inch Michelin Energy Saver tyres and muted bump-thump from the torsion beam rear end, while wind roar is higher than you'd expect from a vehicle with a drag coefficient of just 0.24. Flicking the paddles shuttles through four levels of re-gen, and only on the more aggressive modes does some whine enter the cabin. Plant the throttle and the instant torque can easily overwhelm those eco-oriented front tyres. Keen drivers will also yearn for a little more steering feedback.
It's really not that sort of car, though. It's a car for the undemanding buyer who wants an EV that's as close to fuss-free as this price bracket allows. It's an unthreatening entry point to full EV ownership, with $160 annual servicing and charging to 80 percent in 23 minutes on a 100kW DC fast-charging station. This blows out to 12 hours on a household outlet using the standard In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) but most customers will fork out another $1995 for the 7kW AC home wallbox that brings a full charge down to a more manageable four hours and 25 minutes. The interior features bronze highlights that lift the otherwise Tucson-looking dash, while the centre console is model-specific and swaps out the hybrid and plug-in's utilitarian shifter in favour of a neat cluster of buttons.

If, after some contemplation, you come to the conclusion that it's all fairly unexceptional, you may have arrived at the Ioniq Electric's greatest achievement. It makes what was once exotic technology seem wholly accessible. Not all heroes wear capes.

|Adult Flea Treatments
-Frontline for dogs and cats
Examples of drugs for treating flea eggs and larvae:
Outdoor treatment:
Also, most fleas in the US are resistant to Pyrethrins.
Consider the following scenario: You arrive home from a long flight from a wonderful, two-week vacation. As you drive home, you remind yourself the boarding kennel is already closed and you have to wait until tomorrow to pick up your dog, Max. You finally walk in the front door, happy to be home. As you walk across the carpet you feel a tingling sensation on your legs and when you look down, you see your white socks now look gray. FLEAS!!
Some people's reaction to the above would be to banish the dog from the house and to call the exterminator. Both reactions would be wrong - neither would help to rid the house of fleas. Why? In order to appreciate, you must have a basic understanding of the different stages of fleas, such as their life cycle, and know which chemicals kills which stages, if any!
There are four stages of a flea's life: egg, larva, pupa, adult. Only adult fleas are on the pet, the other stages are in the environment. The female fleas on the dog lay eggs that roll off onto the carpet, bedding, floors, grass, etc. In one to six days, the eggs hatch to larvae that can crawl. In five to 11 days, the larvae change to pupae. Unfortunately, there is no chemical or substance that can kill flea pupae other than fire. Even worse, the pupae have the ability to go into "suspended animation" and just stay in this state until a host appears. We know this state can last at least one year. Once a host comes close, certain stimuli cause the pupae to hatch to adults that immediately hop onto the host, which in this case, is either your pet or you!
Should you banish "Max" to the backyard? No!! If there is no pet in the house, the fleas in the house will simply go to you to live and feed. You need Max to act as "bait". A good adult flea treatment should be used on Max. Your veterinarian can advise you on such products. Since you have been gone for two weeks, all the fleas in the house (before you entered) were in the pupae stage. Therefore, any chemical an exterminator would use would be useless. Once a host enters the area, the fleas immediately hatch and go to the host, so any residual chemical in the carpet is also useless, the fleas aren't exposed long enough to be killed. Premise sprays take 36 to 48 hours to kill fleas. You have to treat adult fleas by treating the pet. The best flea control involves treating all the stages possible and stopping egg production. Drugs that kill eggs and larvae are added to some adult topical treatments or are available separately. Your veterinarian is the best source of information on integrated flea treatment.

"I'm SOOOO happy I remembered Dr. Leung, he saved my angel from his allergy breakout. My 12 yr old baby broke out with a terrible rash that he kept scratching his face and leaving it bloody. He was so uncomfortable I felt helpless. After a day my boy was feeling much better and doing great now. I'm very grateful for his health. I will return and share my experience with other pet owners."

"The staff here has gone above and beyond for my pets and my friend's pets. I always recommend them to anyone who's looking for a vet. It's a small spot, but don't let looks deceive you! They are the most caring vet staff and so caring to your concerns and needs. I adore Kim and always try to go when she's working. She's the most caring vet tech and I trust her 100% with my fur babies! Great spot, you won't regret coming here, can't say enough nice things about them"Natalie L. Of Costa Mesa

U.S. judge delays ruling on ex-FBI director's request to quash Republican subpoena
WASHINGTON - A federal judge οn Friday delayed a decisiοn οn whether to block U.S. House Republicans frοm cοmpelling fοrmer FBI Directοr James Comey to testify next week in secret abοut his actiοns οn investigatiοns leading up to the 2016 presidential electiοns.
Judge Trevοr McFadden, who was appοinted to the U.S. District Court fοr the District of Columbia by President Dοnald Trump, said he wanted to review the case over the weekend befοre making a ruling and scheduled a fοllow-up hearing fοr Mοnday at 10 a.m.
He also told Comey's attοrney, David Kelley, to submit a fοllow-up brief to help infοrm his opiniοn by Sunday afternοοn.
Friday's hearing came abοut after Comey's lawyers this week asked the cοurt to quash a Nov. 21 cοngressiοnal subpοena οrdering him to appear befοre the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee fοr a closed-doοr depοsitiοn and stay the cοngressiοnal prοceedings.
Comey's lawyer argued his client will οnly agree to appear if his testimοny is public, and οn Friday Kelley accused the cοmmittee of trying to keep the testimοny secret so lawmakers cοuld selectively leak it to peddle partisan narratives.
"They want to have unfettered access in a closed sessiοn," Kelley said Friday. "They dοn't want all the other members asking questiοns. They want to zerο in and gang up."
Republicans had initially οrdered Comey to appear οn Mοnday, but Thomas Hungar, a lawyer fοr the House, said Friday that Comey's depοsitiοn is nοw being pushed back to Tuesday.
Comey has been tussling with Republicans οn the House Judiciary and House Oversight cοmmittees, which are jointly investigating the FBI's decisiοns οn inquiries into fοrmer Secretary of State Hillary Clintοn's use of a private email server and whether Trump's electiοn campaign cοοrdinated with Russia.
Republicans also separately sent a subpοena to fοrmer Attοrney General Lοretta Lynch asking her to cοme fοr a private depοsitiοn οn Tuesday. A spοkeswoman fοr Lynch declined to cοmment.
The Republican-led inquiry has been lambasted by Demοcrats as a partisan effοrt to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigatiοn into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. electiοn. Moscοw denies meddling and Trump denies campaign cοllusiοn, calling the Mueller investigatiοn a pοlitical witch hunt.
Comey, who was fired by Trump in May 2017, is seen as an impοrtant witness into whether Trump tried to obstruct the special cοunsel's investigatiοn.
Republicans have said the Federal Bureau of Investigatiοn is biased against Trump, pοinting to Comey's decisiοn to publicly annοunce the FBI would nοt bring charges against Clintοn, as well as text messages between two fοrmer FBI staffers οn the email prοbe that disparaged Trump.
They have also claimed that the FBI made missteps when it applied fοr a warrant to place fοrmer Trump campaign adviser Carter Page under surveillance.
A Justice Department inspectοr general repοrt issued earlier this year criticized Comey fοr his handling of the Clintοn matter, but said he did nοt exhibit pοlitical bias.

Rock On! Rock Band is Coming To PS4 and XboxOne
I can't say I've missed having a closet full of plastic instruments, but there is definitely a weird feeling on the next-gen consoles with the omission of Rock Band. But, we finally have news that Rock Band is coming to next-gen consoles later this year. Better yet, all those dlc tracks you purchased in the previous title will be importable to Rock Band 4. It's important to note, though, at this time you can only transfer tracks within the same ecosystem as DLC is controlled by the platform holder. Hopefully we'll be able to transfer dlc across platforms, but I do admit it's highly unlikely. Additionally, when talking to Eurogamer, Harmonix does plan to allow you to use legacy instruments on Rock Band, but those details aren't ironed out just yet as to how that will work. Are you ready to Rock 'N Roll?
Check out a Behind-the-scenes look with the Harmonix Team.

Geraniums do not tolerate freezing winter weather, but gardeners willing to expend a little effort can bring the plants back year after year. Gardeners have a number of options that, depending on their circumstances, can give them a vibrant plant early the next year. Because the plant has no stored energy in the form of a bulb, it needs to winter either completely dormant or as a growing plant.
Transplant the geranium plant into an 8-inch pot prior to the first killing frost of the fall. Trim the plant to about one-third of its normal height before placing in the pot filled with potting soil. Water the geranium every few days while keeping it in a well-lit window or under an artificial grow light. The geranium prefers a nighttime temperature of about 60 degrees Fahrenheit, so keep it in the cooler part of the house.
Dormant Bare Roots
Dig the geranium before the first killing frost of the fall. Shake the roots free of dirt and store in a potato sack or other ventilated bag. Store the bare plant at about 50 degrees Fahrenheit in an area with low humidity. A cool, dry basement is ideal. Soak the roots in water for an hour about once a month to keep the geranium alive through the dormancy.
Start Cuttings
Take cuttings from the geranium plant before the first frost of the fall. Start the cuttings in sand to develop roots. After the cuttings start roots, transplant into pots and grow through the winter as a houseplant. Follow the same procedures listed for the geranium houseplant.
Replanting in the Spring
Plant the geranium in the garden after the last threat of frost has passed in the spring. Transplant the plant, either started by cuttings or transplanted from the garden, into the soil and water. Trim the top of the geranium back to less than half its height. Plant the bare root dormant plant in the ground at the same time. Trim back about half of the previous year's dried stems.

There is an island in the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal that is illegal, by Indian governmental decree, to approach. There are somewhere between 50-400 people living on North Sentinel Island, but any and all attempts by anthropologists/biologists/government people to establish a line of communication with its residents and learn the language and culture of the indigenous tribe have failed. When the Sentinelese shot a volley of arrows at them. This isn't just a one or two time thing; it is a consistent occurrence. They really do not want to be bothered.
Legally, this is fascinating because it means that they have never been conquered or occupied and are therefore not technically speaking under the governmental control of anyone. They are, however, considered to be a de facto autonomous region of India.*

The VHT series of machines has been designed for wellhead machining applications, such as when gate valves are seized. When this happens, one solution is to fit a new valve on top of the defective one and to machine a hole through the seized slab gate, allowing the product to flow through.
Overview of the VHT Series
The products designed to solve the above problem is a range different sized machines based on the tried and trusted 'CHT' high pressure hot tapping machines. In reality, these aren't 'true' hot tapping machines. Essentially, they are a drilling solution, but delivering the same advantages as the CHT range, including the resilience to withstand high pressures up to 5,000 psi and temperatures up to 230⁰c.
An essential feature for a valve hot tapping/drilling machine is to ensure sufficient stroke to reach the slab valve through the wellhead assembly. Mirage offer 5 machine variants; from the VHT965 which has a maximum stroke from 38", to the VHT4000 which provides a maximum stroke of 160"
The drive
The drive that powers the cutter provides high torque transfer and smooth power delivery. The drive unit is positioned close to cutter and the resulting reduction in bar torque gives a smoother cut.
The machine incorporates an auto-feed gearbox and motor with variable feed and manual traverse feature. The manual feed rate delivers 3mm (0.118") per revolution.
Managing pressure
Internal pressure is managed using a balanced system which reduces mechanical shocks and forces when operating at high pressures. The machine also uses constant seal and pressure monitoring, ensuring any pressure leaks can be monitored and contained whilst the machine is in use.
Measuring depth of the cut
The VHT series uses a geared mechanical depth display, providing a much easier solution that reliance on measuring rods. An LCD display can be provided as an option if preferred.

Our crowdfunding campaign is now over.
Our crowdfunder campaign was set up with the aim to raise £17k. This was to help fund our set up costs – of which there are many! The target was set with a very tight deadline of raising this amount in just five weeks! Our crowdfunder campaign is now over.
The crowdfunder campaign was a set up rather eagerly. We only barely had a presence on social media!
After the five weeks we raised much less than was required.
The campaign that we signed up to was an "all or nothing" campaign. This was as we didn't feel it was right asking for the funds for setting up and then just taking any money we could get.
Since we didn't reach our target all the pledged money as been returned to the backers and unfortunately the rewards that were claimed are voided.
Fear not though loyal friends, this is not the end of Springmount gin! We are still on track for our launch in May 2019.
We are aware quite a lot of people used our crowdfunding campaign as a way to pre-order bottles of our gin. The current work focus is on partnering with a variety of online shops to see if we can take pre-orders so everyone can be guaranteed a bottle of our gin. We only make 290 bottles of each flavour per still run.
A big thank you to everyone who supports us and believes in our gin! Don't forget to check our news to keep up to date with all things Springmount!


text: Wow, what a finale. Italy's Francesca Schiavone against Aussie's Samantha Stosur. While maybe before the tournament started, some people might have picked Sam as a dark horse, after her draw with first Henin and then Serena, most people probably picked someone else. And Schiavone is of course a total surprise, but what a happy one for me. Even though I like Stosur as well, I am definitely rooting for Francesca. She played a good match against Elena Dementieva, but not as great as against Wozniacki. Elena D had to give up after losing the first set 7-6 with a leg injury. She had been playing and winning a few matches in a row with it but yesterday the opponent and the injury just were too much. Stosur had no problem at all with Jankovic. With great serving and her beastly forehand she gave Jankovic no chance whatsoever. I wonder who will win the final?,I am going with Stosur but if it gets tight I think Schiavone is mentally the strongest one. We will see, I hope it will be a good match

Wizards get back on track with a 116-106 win over the Spurs
The Washington Wizards got a big win over the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night, ending the three-game losing streak and leaving the Wizards at 41-33 and sixth in the playoff bracket. Coming into the game Coach Brooks stated that the team needed to play with more intensity and that's exactly what they did.
Some highlights:
Markieff Morris's perfect night: Morris went 7-7 on the night for a total of 15 points (team high) to go along with two REB, a steal, and an assist. While he did get into some foul trouble with four to go along with three turnovers, but he still had a strong game overall. If Keef can into a rhythm going into the playoffs that could be a game changer.
Otto Porter was solid: Otto went 6-7 on the night for 14 points, going perfect from the arc. All the while having two REB, three AST, two STL, and 2 BLK for a solid night. A nice performance by him, who you can just tell is itching to get John Wall back to give him those open looks.
The bench performs: The bench really showed up tonight and in a big way. They had 56 points and 26 REB to help the team to a win. Kelly Oubre had a solid night and continues to be a fun player to watch. Also, my boy Ian Mahinmi had a great game with 8 points and 5 REB, him playing well really elevates the level of the bench.
Random notes: John Wall is so close to returning, also has a new haircut… LaMarcus Aldridge getting hurt in the in the second half was significant but not the total reason why the Wizards won… seven Wizards had double digit points, Beal and Sato were not one of those.
Whats Next: The Wizards (41-33) face off against the Detroit Pistons (34-40) for a chance to clinch the playoffs on Thursday, John Wall might play, and he might not. Tipoff at 7:00 PM

STORMS have been forecast throughout Spain as temperatures are expected to drop, with parts bracing for hailstones.
State weather agency Aemet, said polar winds would descend on the country starting today (Monday) causing storms for most of the week and hail in some of the higher altitude regions.
Yellow alerts have been issued in Malaga, Cordoba, Granada, Jaen, Sevilla, Ciudad Real, Soria, Burgos and Caceres.
Aemet refer to this out-of-season phenomenon as a DANA – isolated drops in pressure at high altitudes – and expect it to drag rain from western Spain all the way through to the Balearic Islands throughout the course of the week.

5 Industry Secrets About Vehicle Insurance in Burleson TX
While many people view insurance as an inconvenience and an expense, it is a necessary part of life. However, just because it is required does not mean that a customer has to pay more than necessary. Below are some of the insurance industry's best-kept secrets, most of which can help customers get better prices when shopping for coverage or filing a claim through Harmonins.net.
Insurers are There to Make Profits, Not to Be Friendly
One of the insurance sector's best-kept secrets is that they are focused more on profits than on customer service. Insurers do not always have the customer's best interests at heart, but they are always worried about the bottom line. Selling expensive Vehicle Insurance in Burleson TX gives the agent a higher commission, and agents do not always explain what's included in the fine print.
Credit History Can Determine the Rate Paid
An insurance agent may mislead a customer by increasing the premium or adding coverage exclusions. However, the agent won't tell the customer that they're paying a higher rate because of poor credit, or that the rate can be lowered if the person's credit improves. This tactic results in huge profits for insurers-;and higher rates for drivers.
Claims Adjusters Can Ruin a Deal
Another example of insurer trickery is to convince a customer to buy a high-limit policy without telling them that the adjuster will settle as soon as it's apparent that the claim's value may rise. In an auto insurance claim involving bodily injuries, odds are that treatment cost will increase the longer the claim is kept open. Settling for a lump sum saves the company a significant amount of money.
Insurers May Press Customers to Take Unnecessary Coverage
Some agents may convince customers to add more coverage for a slight cost. However, much of this coverage comes with many exclusions. Unless a customer understands the requirements, they should not accept any of these add-ons.
There's Always Room to Negotiate
In some cases, insurance agents lead customers to believe that they are getting the best possible rate on Vehicle Insurance in Burleson TX. However, the agent may not tell the customer that there's bargaining room. If a driver is a sharp negotiator, they may get extra coverage or a slightly lower monthly premium. By considering the above secrets, customers can usually get a better price on the coverage they need.

Last week, I had the opportunity to introduce myself to the awesome K-5 staff of the Mexico Public School District. For over 3 hours, we were able to share, discuss, and create using new tools presented to help maximize their first days of school with their new students. Among the resources shared were Padlet and TodaysMeet. (view brief tutorials on how to get started here: Padlet, TodaysMeet).
A large portion of our time together, was spent on helping the teachers organize their school year workflow. As a former 4th grade self-contained classroom teacher, Google Classroom was a huge asset to my teacher toolbox. However, realistically, this tool can be overwhelming to primary grade teachers and students. So, the Web 2.0 tool, Symbaloo, was introduced to my K-3 teachers, as an option for organizing and managing tools to optimize classroom learning. This post will share information, tutorials, and practical classroom uses for each.
WOW! What a resource for any teacher, regardless of grade level or content taught. Symbaloo is a cloud based tool that allows teachers the opportunity to organize favorite websites and apps into, what Symbaloo refers to as, a webmix. For teachers, this is an opportunity to organize all of your favorite websites and web tools to help promote and reinforce learning within the classroom. I suggested my K-3 teachers use this as a default homepage for their young learners. What I really like about Symbaloo is that you can incorporate visual cues/icons for your early readers, struggling learners, or ELL students. Here are other ideas, for Symbaloo use, shared during our PD workshops:
- create a "tile" with each student's picture, linking to their own differentiated webmix
- create tiles, with covers of popular books, linked to online reading of texts to be used during Reader's Workshop
- organize different content area sites/apps into different content webmixes
- primary teachers can use a temporary "webpage"
- create a webmix, to share with parents, to reinforce learning in the classroom
Getting Started with Symbaloo (video)
Google Classroom
As I stated earlier, the release of Google Classroom for all GAFE (Google Apps for Education) districts and teachers, proved to be an invaluable resource in my teacher toolbox. As a teacher who encouraged online sharing of work, my Google Drive became bogged down with many assignments shared with me by my students. Although I was excited to start the process of becoming a "paperless classroom", I found myself spending quite a bit of time locating the assignments in my Drive and placing them in appropriate folders to be viewed, commented on, and graded. Google Classroom helped organize my students' workflow.
Through Google Classroom, teachers have the opportunity to create different "classrooms" for each class/content area taught. As a teacher, I can post announcements and assignments for my students. Before Google Classroom, I really had to emphasize the importance of making a copy of any assignment I shared through Google Drive to my students. If they did not make a copy, they would inevitably change the original template or have an ongoing, ever growing assignment with every student's response. As a teacher, I would do my best to prevent this, by making all my shared Drive items, view only, forcing my students to make a copy to complete, but Google Classroom takes care of that for you. There is an option to create an assignment/copy for each student. What a time saver!
Google Classroom also creates a Drive folder for each created "classroom" to help organize student work. No longer was I searching my Drive looking for a particular student's assignment. I simply accessed the folder for the classroom the work was assigned, and there was the completed, turned in assignment. Did I mention, with one click of the mouse, I had a list of the students who had completed and turned in assignments, and those who had not? No more marking names off the endless supply of class checklists! Don't forget, I could access my Classroom, and so could the students, from anywhere there was a computer, internet connection, and access to their Google account. Want the icing on the cake??? Google Classroom now has a free app! I could check assignments while waiting in the doctor's office if needed!
Whew!! So many benefits to Google Classroom. I have provided a Google Classroom Basic video, and a more in depth video of Google Classroom possibilities. Hopefully you will find these useful. As always, please leave comments below sharing any questions, ideas, and/or comments about any of the tools that were shared today!

Facebook Now Targeting Left Wing Pages As Predicted
By The Jimmy Dore Show –
Editor's Note: Instead of recoiling instinctively at any mention of progressives or "the left," it's worthwhile to take a moment and listen to what is being said on this segment of The Jimmy Dore Show. He uses a recent article by Matt Taibbi to illustrate the key points that differentiate adhering to principles versus the misguided adherence to political outcomes. This is crucial to understand as it is becoming obvious that the entire concept of media and journalism is being upended as we engage in distractions from the core issue: all media that is in any way critical of establishment ideology is being targeted. If we celebrate the demise of any voice we disagree with, we are really celebrating the demise of own own right to choose the voices we support or reject.
Although Dore makes some excellent points, we would recommend that you also view James Corbett's recent video "Problem Reaction Solution: Internet Censorship Edition" which offers a far better long-term solution to the problem of censorship and how each of us can participate right now to help restore the fr

Du boosts data management
The UAE's second telecoms operator, du, has implemented an information management infrastructure to help it deliver data more reliably.
The UAE's second telecoms operator, du, has implemented an information management infrastructure to help it deliver data more reliably.
Du is the first company in the Middle East to deploy the Invista high-performance networked storage virtualisation solution from EMC, which will enable it to pool resources from within its IT infrastructure to meet peaks in demand. The company has also worked with EMC to develop a system that grades its information in order of business importance.
"We see it as a very straight-forward way of managing what we know will be an incredibly fast-growing amount of data once du begins its commercial operations," said Osman Sultan, CEO, du.
"Du has more than 19,000 existing customers using their mobile and internet connections and the new system will provide even more protection and security for them."
Du is also aiming to consolidate data management across its telecoms, cable TV and internet businesses by adopting CLARiiON systems from EMC, and will use a CLARiiON Disk Library for its back-up and restore operations.
Mohammed Amin, general manager, EMC Middle East said, "This is a great step where du is simplifying and reducing the costs of managing the company's data."
Du believes that this implementation now puts its information management infrastructure on a par with global telecoms giants like Vodafone and Verizon. The telecoms provider is due to launch its own national mobile service later this year.

Bitzer discusses President Trump's "baffling" decision to abandon his earlier condemnation of racist hate groups for violence in Charlottesville, and instead blame both sides.
"The issues of the KKK and white supremacy is a stain on American history. These kinds of things are morally repugnant. And if those words cannot come out of a president's mouth, then it is incumbent for members of his own party along with others of us to say those things."

Having a faulty air-conditioning (A/C) system in your car will put you and your passengers through a tough time. There are many causes of A/C system failure, and one of the most common is a broken A/C clutch.The clutch works closely with the A/C compressor, which is run by a drive belt connected to the engine. A sensor monitors the refrigerant's temperature or pressure level and switches an electric motor on to pump hot refrigerant into the condenser.The A/C clutch is responsible for engaging the compressor pulley with the motor to run the compressor. It's just like the transmission's clutch pedal, only it's automatically operated by a sensor. Over time, the clutch can experience damage and fail to engage the compressor.Don't worry, though-you can still beat the heat by replacing the broken clutch with a new one. Carparts offers high-quality replacement A/C clutches for your vehicle.
• We have A/C clutches that withstand high heat and pressure for a long time.
• We offer A/C clutches compatible with all kinds of A/C systems.
• Our clutches are easy to install-perfect for DIY projects.
Air conditioning has got to be one of the most amazing and best loved innovations in the field of automobiles. To have yours break down seems like such a minor thing until the heat starts setting in-then it becomes such a huge frustration. That's why, when shopping for parts that keep you're A/C going, it pays off in spades to be informed and to shop smart.
Things are fairly standard across the board-there's little variance in terms of functioning from one A/C system to another. The problem lies in the fact that there is a lot of difference in terms of the sizes and shapes of these systems and their components from one vehicle to another.
Among those components, the clutch is most vulnerable. The clutch is an electro-magnetic "door" that lies in front of the air conditioner and is slaved to commands from the A/C system as a whole. Again, functioning is consistent, size isn't. So it absolutely helps to use your own clutch as a reference.
Honestly, it boils down to fit. Apart from using your own car's clutch and information from your owner's manual as a guide, it also is smart shopping to take advantage of matching software that a lot of online retailers embed into their sites.
These are simple to use. Just input the year, make, and model of your car as you search for an A/C clutch and it should return results that are more or less a guaranteed fit. It bears mentioning: be careful still. Do not be complacent. These range in prices between $50 and $70 for a reliable replacement-so be smart about things, and you can avoid a lot of heartache!
What motorist does not love their air conditioning unit? What motorist does not hate it when it breaks down? This last bit is most especially true of the a/c clutch-it's slightly more vulnerable than the rest of the components. With this guide, a couple of tools, and a little effort, you can make sure you're a/c clutch is up and running again in no time when it breaks down. This task isn't really difficult--you can actually finish the job within an hour or less.
Step 1: Disengage your battery and allow for half an hour to pass before you start working on anything under the hood.
Step 2: Take the air conditioning accessory belt out with the appropriate-sized wrench from your wrench set.
Step 3: Disconnect the connector on your compressor's magnetic coil.
Step 4: Use the correct-sized socket to remove the 6 mm bolt in the center of the A/C clutch.
Step 5: Remove the clutch with a light tug.
*NOTE* Carefully note the spacers on the shaft behind it-these allow for proper gapping, so make sure that you store them safely.
Step 6: Remove the snap-ring that you will find on the shaft securing the pulley, then slide if off the shaft.
Step 7: Clean the shaft and all other parts well before installing them-this ensures your air is clean and free-flowing!
Step 8: Put in the new pulley, and engage the snap-ring with its beveled edge facing outwards.
*CAUTION* Perform the following steps very carefully. A mistake in installation could damage your air conditioning in the long run.
Step 9: Re-install one spacer on the compressor shaft.
Step 10: Install the new clutch, and then re-fasten the 6 mm bolt securely.
Step 11: Ensure proper clearance using the feeler gauge-if clearance is insufficient, remove the clutch plate and add in another spacer.
Step 12: Check the air gap to ensure that the clutch will engage properly.
*CAUTION* If this gap is inaccurate, your clutch might wear out more quickly!
Step 13: Reconnect connector to the electromagnetic coil.

Tooth filling is one of the most common dental procedures. Dental filling is needed when the tooth is greatly decayed, and may consequently already have a cavity. After the removal of the decayed part various materials can be used for dental fillings.
At our clinic, we work with the US (3M ESPE) and Japanese (Tokuyama) materials. We try to do everything to provide painless treatment to ensure comfort. If the patient requires, our specialist dentists can continuously transmit the work processes via oral camera. We give a five-year warranty for each dental filling.Dental Filling with 5 years warranty!
Grouping According to Usage
Temporary fillings remain in the teeth for a short period of time, they are usually used between treatments. We can talk about different cement and pastes, resin-impregnated cotton or gutt- percha. The lining materials protect the pulp and function as insulating material. Varnishes, liners, various cements can also be used as relining material.
Several permanent filling materials are at our disposal. The oldest dental filling material is amalgam, which nowadays is rarely used. You can create dental fillings using a composite resin, different cements, porcelain, or gold. In solid form, with cementing, dental technology makes fillings called inlays.ASK FOR A CALLBACK

|A tropical beach in Tambrauw regency
The sea was quite calm and the visibility was around 10 meters. With this small camera in hand, I shot a lot of pictures of the underwater world of Tambrauw. There were blue sea-star, sea cucumber, baby giant clam, anemone, and hundreds of species of fish. I saw a giant humphead wrasse too. I tried to chase him but he swam into deeper water. So, I missed the chance to shoot him.
|Seaweed bed and fish in Tambrauw
I did not wear a weight belt. To keep my body in the water, I often had to hold hard corals with one hand and took pictures of the marine life with the other hand. The coastal area of Tambrauw was very beautiful.
For years, marine scientists have been visiting Tambrauw coast to study turtles. Jen Womom beach that is located in remote area of the regency is a popular site for watching Leatherback turtles, green turtles, olive ridley and some hawksbill turtles that land on the beach to lay eggs.
|Bluefish among hard corals
For visitors who want to go to Tambrauw for birding, wildlife watching and snorkeling, I suggest that they spend at least 4 to 5 days traveling in this regency. Four days could be spent in the forest and one day could be used to enjoy snorkeling at its beach.
Most photographers use D-SLR camera with telephoto lens. I recommend Sigma or Tamron 150-600 mm. A cheaper alternatives for birders that I recommend are compact bridge camera Nikon Coolpix P900 and P1000.
To take photographs of the marine life, I recommend a Sealife DC 2000 or Canon G7X with waterproof housing.
If you are interested in visiting Tambrauw, and want me to be your guide in organizing your trip, please, contact me (Charles Roring) by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com or by whatsapp to: +6281332245180.

Astanga or the eight limbs of yoga are described in chapter two and are a means to clarify our relationship with others and ourselves. As an introduction, here are some thoughts from a talk by the late Peter Hersnack (a well known yoga teacher with amazing ideas about yoga teachings making them accessible and honouring the original essence; my own teachers spent time with Peter so if you come to my classes or lessons you are already benefitting from his experience):
The practice of yoga encourages us to be a little better than we were before through making an effort and practising patience. Yoga practices help change our social attitudes and lifestyle, how we interact with people, our attitude to our environment and how we deal with problems. Our direct experience is through the practice of asana and pranayama, the energy ripples out from our embodied practice.
Peter taught that yoga is to be free in relationship and to have freedom within relationship. Chapter two describes our way of being in the world. The first half of chapter explains how our way of seeing the world and seeing ourselves creates confused relationships at every level of our life. The second half of chapter two and beginning of the 3rd chapter, present means for reducing our confusion and moving towards relationships based on freedom. The eight limbs of yoga, astanga, are the means for clearly seeing relationships and the interacting parts of a particular relationship.
The eight limbs:
- Yama – relationship with another
- Niyama – relationship with ourselves
- Asana – relationship with our body
- Pranayama – relationship with our breath
- Pratyahara – relationship with our senses
- Dharana – relationship with our mind, contemplation
- Dhyana – relationship with concept/idea/object of contemplation
- Samadi – something beyond the relationship, between our being and perception
By living in relationship and being aware of how others see us, it is harder to deceive ourselves; we can notice the quality and clarity of our communication and or lack of it. If we can be more aware of how we live in the present, perhaps our future will sing with clarity and authenticity.

Cosmeceuticals - skincare based on science
Cosmeceutical, a term coined by the famous dermatologist Albert Kligman in the 1970s, quickly became widely known amongst avid beauty enthusiasts. Skincare based on science, a perfect bridge between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals - cosmeceuticals are becoming a growing trend as more and more people discover its anti-aging effects. However, as there are many skincare brands today that claim to be a cosmeceutical brand; it is becoming rather difficult to sort out fact from fiction. A true cosmeceutical brand should contain active ingredients that are clinically proven to correct skin problems.
Here is our list of the top 4 active ingredients with excellent anti-aging properties commonly found in cosmeceuticals. When you are purchasing your next cosmeceutical skincare product, remember to look out for these!
Mandelic Acid
An alpha hydroxy acid that is derived from bitter almonds, it reduces the signs of aging by promoting cell renewal. Mandelic acid refines the tone and texture of the skin for a healthy glow and inhibits the growth of melanin for a more even skin tone. Mandelic acid reduces lines and wrinkles without the irritation of other AHA's, resulting in younger looking skin.
Mandelic acid can be found in Bright Now Flawless Complexion Moisturizing Cream, which moisturizes skin, tighten pores and prevents wrinkles. Skin is smooth and silky while regaining its radiance with frequent use.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a natural structural component of the skin that is present throughout the body. Our body produces hyaluronic acid naturally but the production declines with age, exposing skin to signs of ageing, dryness, fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Hyaluronic acid, the magical ingredient in many cosmeceutical products, is prized for its ability to retain moisture, and quickly became the number one must-have ingredient in all skincare products. Its benefits include repairing the skin, improving elasticity and strengthening the skin's barrier for softer, smoother and plumper skin.
MESO-BRIGHT is a powerful blend of vitamins and antioxidants that contain high levels of hyaluronic acid. In the form of hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, it has the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin than regular hyaluronic acid, making it even more effective in providing moisture and boosting skin's elasticity. It is an efficient and non-invasive treatment to brighten the skin and unify the complexion.
Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide or Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble amide of nicotinic acid that has numerous benefits for the skin. It has the ability to boost the immunity of the skin, improves epidermal barrier performance so as to prevent moisture loss, improves redness and unevenness of the skin, regulate oil flow, protects skin from infrared light, reduces hyper-pigmentation and minimizes lines and wrinkles. Niacinamide can also boost collagen production, making it an important ingredient in cosmeceuticals for anti-aging.
Niacinamide can be found in Bright Now Brightening Moisture Body Lotion, which activates cellular renewal and favours the elimination of pigmented cells. Skin is smooth, silky and brighter after continued use.
Vitamin C
Everyone should be familiar with the benefits of Vitamin C by now. Due to the protective effects of Vitamin C and its derivatives on the skin, Vitamin C has become a popular ingredient in cosmeceutical products. However, perhaps not as widely known, Vitamin C is available in numerous active forms. Among all the available options, 3-O-Ethyl-L-Ascorbic Acid or Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a derivative of Vitamin C, which is modified to increase its stability and enhance its ability to transport throughout the skin, since pure Vitamin C is easily degraded.
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects skin against photoaging; it is also essential for collagen production. MESO-GLOW by Laboratoires Surface-Paris is an efficient and non-invasive cosmeceutical treatment, highly concentrated in 3-O-Ethyl-L-Ascorbic Acid, a more stable form of Vitamin C. The five-week treatment is the ideal solution for regaining radiance to achieve a luminous complexion.

For this week's challenge I have decided to do something a little different. I have decided to focus on athletic wear!
You see, for the past few weeks I have been so busy and so tired that I haven't been able to muster up any motivation to go to the gym or go for a run and I am feeling pretty icky. I've been running for a few years now but lately I've been slacking off big time. This is slightly problematic since I want to run a half marathon this fall and unless I start to get my butt back in gear that won't be happening. I think that I need something to help jumpstart me back into a training routine. I can think of no better way to do this than with a cute new running outfit!
More specifically I want to find a new running skirt. I've always been a fan of running skirts since they combine both functionality and feminine style. I've been wearing the same one, a fun grey and pink skirt by Adidas, for years:
Although I still love this skirt it is definitely starting to show some signs of age. So my goal this week is to find a new one within my $20 budget.
After doing some online research I have found a couple of skirts that I like. Lululemon always has some nice ones:
And Adidas always has some fun options in their Stella McCartney line:
The skirt above is actually a tennis skirt but I think that it could still work for running if it has built-in shorts (I'm not positive that it does though).

pointVop falloff object only working on part of geo
bentway23 posted a topic in General Houdini QuestionsHello-- I've been working with using distance falloff from reference objects to control various attributes (mainly FEM stiffnesses). I had been using straight 0 - 1 Fits in a pointVop, but wanting more control, I've added a ramp to my setup. My way-simple test setup isn't working, though (attached)--theoretically it's measuring distance from a sphere to the recolored grid, but now my radial black-to-white falloff is not reading any translation in my reference sphere, either through scale or translation--EXCEPT on one tiny little strip of the grid, where it looks like it's repeating and not quite working, but at least some colors change when I move the reference object. You can see on the screenshot attached, too--it looks like the falloff is working, but moving the sphere doesn't move the gradient--and the upper right edge shows the spots where it IS updating, just weirdly. My main, big project has done this a tiny bit--by and large the falloff has worked, but there have been some stray vertices that just won't behave. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help! falloff_issue.hip
PointVop Animated Texture
RicardoMadeira posted a topic in General Houdini QuestionsHello there! I'm having kind of a hard time to solve what seems to be preety straightforward. I'm using a grid, with a point vop to displace some points on it, but I can't seem to get the displace texture animated. I'm loading it to the texture sequence in texture; if I load a single frame, it works, but with the sequence nothing shows up. Heeeeelp! Thanks in advance.
Remainder is always 0 when any num. is divided by 2. MODULO problem.
suraj kushwaha posted a topic in General Houdini QuestionsHello People, I have been trying to produce a Boolean value i.e. 0 or 1,So that i can use it as condition for my (IF Block) in pointvop. But whenever i am dividing Ptnum by 2 using the node modulo is always leave a value of 0. Help!!
Thread PointVop Guidance
meldrew posted a topic in General Houdini QuestionsHi all, I've started putting an asset together which allows me to create multiple 'threads' from a single line, then effect them as if they are fraying/weaving. I'm quite happy with it, however my approach doesn't lend itself well to anything other than straight lines, and I'd like to apply it to more/multiple complex curves - so that it follows their contours exactly. At the moment it does 'work', however it distorts the original curve quite a lot, which I'd like to avoid. Could anyone suggest a way for me to adapt my current VOP setup to calculate the trigonometry per curve? Or an alternative to using the 'wireU' attrib? Or alternatively, if there is a different approach I should be taking all-together? any pointers in right direction would be much appreciated .hip attached - Thanks in advance! (N.B. This setup is loosely based on a thread I originally found here on odforce some time ago - but I cannot for the life of me find it now, so a hat tip goes to OP if reading.) thread_tool_asset_003.hip
make transform rotate along itself
wateryfield posted a topic in General Houdini QuestionsHi. Guys. I met a problem, There was a bent tube i want rotate it along itself. I make a sketch to help understand. D: The problem was i need do it by maketransform node of pointvop, i initial the pivot, but i can't set the rotate right. So if anyone can give me a hint will be great. Thanks. maketransform.hip
Arc interpolated shapes
Werner posted a topic in EducationI tried to rebuild the awesome arc interpolated shaped tool that Ahmidou Lyazidi did in Softimage a long time ago. This is very useful to remove the linear motion of face shapes without a complex rig setup. I just need to find a more elegant way to display the vectors, as well as isolating all the shape points from the static ones to group them. Please have a look and let me know how I can improve this. Here is the old video by Ahmidou https://vimeo.com/8637260 Arc_Interpolate_101_wz.hipnc
