Deloitte Explores Protocols for Providing Assurance on Blockchain Transaction Data and Infrastructure
Deloitte has announced the completion of a blockchain project which was designed to demonstrate tangible and actionable options for assurance related to blockchain transaction data and infrastructure. The goal of the project was to enhance the utility and trust of a permissioned blockchain system by applying professional audit and assurance standards to scrutinize blockchain protocols and applications.
With blockchain technology offerings worldwide, Deloitte provides advisory services to building decentralized applications on multiple blockchain platforms for clients across different industries. The company has made investments in growing and developing blockchain-focused capabilities to advise clients as they explore their own blockchain-based transformations, including opening a blockchain lab in New York City earlier this month.
A partner at Deloitte & Touche LLP, Will Bible remarked: "As this technology evolves, it's only a matter of time until our clients tell us they are moving portions of their business onto blockchain infrastructure. Moreover, as a leader in delivering audits of the highest quality, we need to get ahead of the curve on quantifying and defining how an auditor could provide a level of assurance on a permissioned blockchain application, contributing to the trust and confidence in the network. For this project we tapped into the breadth and depth of experience within our multidisciplinary business model to collaborate across our audit, technology, and blockchain groups to pull together the experience needed to apply the lens of assurance on blockchain-based applications."
Iliana Oris Valiente at Deloitte Canada, co-founder and strategy leader of the Rubix by Deloitte team, explained: "For the purposes of this project, we selected an internally-developed loyalty points blockchain application built by our Rubix by Deloitte team on a permissioned ethereum network as a test case. Although each client engagement is unique from a technology and a business model perspective, there are many similarities among the processes in designing, building, and operating a blockchain-based product,"
The Deloitte team applied existing guidance from attestation standards to the permissioned blockchain application to understand the options and challenges for this project. They also developed procedures that are specific to the nuances of a blockchain product. The procedures developed, and assurance options explored, could benefit blockchain principals, preparers and users of financial statements, as well as auditors.
Tim Davis, principal at Deloitte & Touche LLP, noted: "Given the early stages of blockchain maturity, we recognize that many clients are in the development phases rather than in production. As this technology matures, participants of these blockchain solutions are going to need to understand the potential risks and be able to provide the proper assurance that the processing environment and data is managed in a well-controlled manner. Deloitte is well-prepared to provide advisory and assurance services for organizations that are looking to build trust and confidence in their blockchain service delivery processes and controls,"

Linn Maxwell Keller Black Box Theatre
To honor Linn's deep love and commitment to excellence in vocal and stage performance, the Keller family, Linn's husband Fred and daughters Christina, Susan, and Lorissa, established the Linn Maxwell Keller Professional Vocalist Experience Endowment at Grand Valley State University to provide enrichment opportunities for committed vocal performance students and to encourage them in their professional career development. In appreciation for their generosity, Grand Valley State University named this space the Linn Maxwell Keller Black Box Theatre.
Linn Maxwell Keller (1943-2016) was a dedicated professional singer who performed in 28 countries, a scholar, a woman of deep faith, and an inspiring mother and life partner. Linn was born in Indiana, the only child of two musicians. Her mother, Adris, was an accomplished pianist and her father, Colonel Roy Maxwell, sang in choruses wherever his military career took the family. Linn spent much of her formative years in Bethesda, Maryland and then traveled the world as a professional vocalist, finally making her home in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she was a leader in, and avid supporter of, the performing arts community.
Linn studied music performance at the University of Maryland and earned a Master's degree in music from Catholic University. As a mezzo soprano, Linn performed on many operatic and concert stages from the Essen Opera House in Germany to Puerto Rico and Carnegie Hall. Her one-woman cabaret shows were performed across the world, including in Edinburgh, Scotland, New York City, and a tour of Australia.
At the peak of her career as a professional vocalist, Linn married Fred Keller and became the second mother to Christina, Susan, and Lorissa. As the children grew, she restarted her career, this time focusing on developing her acting and playwriting skills. She went on to write and develop numerous original shows, including the critically acclaimed Hildegard of Bingen and the Living Light, and St. Hildegard, Trumpet of God, turning both of them into movies.
She was the founder and president of the Grand Rapids Bach Festival and served on several artistic boards. Among her many accolades, she was awarded the Joy in Singing Award and received the National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Grant.

Windshield Tweets: Litter Bugs!
[Continuing the ORIGINAL Hoboken411 "Windshield Twittering" series…]
Windshield junk sucks; but do you need to litter?
Most of us hate the Windshield SPAM we all get. This week's culprits are Carmina Limousine, and Zap Lube. Both business are NOT located in Hoboken – but have an indirect negative effect on the city they wish to do business with.
However, it's my belief that since the windshield spammers are pretty good at putting the leaflets underneath the wiper blade (unlike the Hoboken Parking Utility who can't muster up the energy) – that the car owners themselves are the ones responsible for just tossing them on the ground.
Just because you didn't want the flier doesn't mean you should make your own Hoboken neighborhood more disgusting. Just bring it in your car and toss it out in the proper receptacle!
C'mon, folks!
[Stay tuned for the next Windshield Twittering entry! – Note: Feel free to share your wiper-spottings – just email Hoboken411 with a clear photo or two, where you spotted it and how you'd like to be credited… ]

Top 10 Most Unforgettable Shampoo Jingles From Pinoy TV
(SPOT.ph) The only thing more infectious than a tagline is the jingle that sometimes comes with it. In the case of shampoo TV commercials, it becomes a trifecta of catchiness with the added bonus of a dance move. Jingles and dance numbers come and go, but these 10 shampoo ads are forever.

SPOT.ph Top 10 Craziest Dance Moves in Commercials
10 Catchy Ad Jingles That are Probably Stuck in Your Head Right Now
PHOTOS: Vintage Print Ads Featuring Pinoy Celebs
10. "Until Then" by Lux
Unforgettable line: When I / See you again / I long to touch and stroke your long black hair
In the '90s, a shorter version of Side A's romantic ballad served as the song to Lux's Super Rich shampoo commercial starring Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres. They both starred in a series of five Lux commercials (including this one), but didn't get together until later.
9. "I Choose to Be Beautiful" by Cream Silk
Unforgettable line: I choo-ooose / I choose to be beautiful
Alright, let's state the obvious: Cream Silk technically isn't a shampoo. Still, this 2006 jingle was so infectious that we couldn't overlook it. The song was used for three different Cream Silk ads, as if to make sure everyone heard it at least once. (Spoiler: It worked.)
8. "Let Me" by Sunsilk
Unforgettable line: You turn my head / But instead / I feel so lonely
Sunsilk's ad for their Soft Touch shampoo was particularly memorable for the amusing concept of a girl doing everything she could just so her boyfriend wouldn't touch her hair. (She even shoves food into his mouth.) The song by Orange and Lemons was an added bonus.
7. "Check Your Hair" by Palmolive
Unforgettable line: Check your hair / Bango sa morning
Teen star Liza Soberano's Palmolive commercial is pretty recent, considering the other items on our list. We give it plenty of unforgettable points for making us hum to the melody after one listen. LSS? Check!
6. "Fresh and Bounce" by Palmolive
Unforgettable line: Balik freshness / Balik bounce, bounce
For Palmolive's 2005 commercial, they went the R&B route with a catchy tune from Maoui David. We dare you not to sing "Bounce, bounce" while watching the video.
5. "Cap" by Vaseline Shampoo
Unforgettable line: Does whistling count?
Yes, we know. There are no lyrics in this commercial, but hear us out. Vaseline Shampoo's "Cap" commercial first aired in 2004, and featured a little boy searching for the elusive owner of a lost but fragrant-smelling cap. It was almost impossible not to whistle after seeing it on TV!
4. "Walang Sabit" by Rejoice
Unforgettable line: Walang sabit / 'Di tulad ng iba
Sandara Park was just fresh off Star Circle Quest when she did Rejoice's LSS-inducing song, "Walang Sabit." Today, she's a member of Korean pop group 2Ne1 but we'll never forget those lyrics...or dance moves. (Also a notable mention? Kim Chiu's "Kering Keri.")
3. "Ang Gaan-Gaan ng Feeling" by Ivory
Unforgettable line: Ang gaan-gaan ng feeling / Ang gaan-gaan ng loob ko sa'yo
Back in the day, Geneva Cruz was the voice behind Ivory shampoo's catchy commercial featuring Bianca Araneta's light and bouncy hair. Recently, Palmolive aired their own version of the song starring Janella Salvador, where she sings "Magaan ang feeling."
2. "Haba ng Hair" by Rejoice
Unforgettable line: Haba ng hair / Nag-Rejoice ka ba girl?
It's been two years since Rejoice first introduced us to "Haba ng Hair," but we still remember that song like it was yesterday. Sure, it was catchy (and that melody will probably always stay with us), but it's nothing compared to...
1. "Sunod sa Galaw" by Rejoice
Unforgettable line: Sumusunoo-oood / Sa galaw mo
Oh, Jaboom Twins. You were the reason for all the LSS and endless hair flips. It was so popular that it actually started a mini-competition on Magandang Tanghali Bayan. The song was the Jaboom Twins' ticket to fame, not to mention the beginning of a string of song-and-dance combos in commercials.

SACRAMENTO – Assemblywoman Beth Gaines, R-Rocklin, today announced that her measure to help reduce backlog with Humane Society officers' background checks has cleared the Assembly Public Safety Committee with a unanimous vote.
Assembly Bill 2194 amends state law so that already-required background checks can be performed on Humane Society officers.
"Humane officers play a key role in the health and safety of animals," Gaines said. "These well-trained individuals can't even do their job because of a minor technicality. My bill will ensure that the many pets that need help are treated with care and are not at risk of abuse."
Legislation by Senator Dave Cox in 2010 made various changes to the appointments process for humane officers, including criminal background checks, which involves verifying FBI criminal histories that are obtained by the California Department of Justice.
Specific language required by the FBI was not included in the final version of the bill, creating a temporary backlog of criminal background checks for humane officers. Gaines' bill includes the necessary information to fix current law.
Assembly Bill 2194 now heads to the Appropriations Committee for a vote.
Assemblywoman Beth Gaines represents the 4th Assembly District, which includes portions of Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Alpine Counties.

By now China is one of the countries facing the most serious desertification problems in the world. The total area affected by desertification is approximately 2.6 million km2 , covering 27.3% of total territory of China. Increasing stocking rate exacerbated the extensive degradation of grasslands in Inner Mongolia accompanied by increased soil erosion and desertification. Since grasslands represent one of the largest stocks for organic carbon, its degradation has a significant feedback on the biosphere-atmosphere exchange for carbon and nitrogen. Hence grassland degradation leads to volatilization and dislocation by erosion of huge amounts of C and N previously stored in this ecosystems.
The MAGIM Research Unit, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), with its 11 subprojects compares four differently managed grasslands, two ungrazed since 1999 and 1979, respectively, and two moderately and heavily grazed in the Xilin river catchment in Inner Mongolia, PR China. At these experimental sites the C and N pools in the soil (P1), the above- and belowground net primary production (P2), C and N turnover and fluxes (P5), carbon and water exchange (P6), the water balance (P7), soil stability (P8), and wind erosion (P9) are studied. P3 and 4 investigate biomass availability, fodder uptake and quality and animal productivity in a newly established experiment with five different grazing intensities and two management strategies (continuous grazing and hay making versus rotation). P10 and 11 work on a larger scale: P10 analyzes the influence of grazing pressure on the carbon isotope composition of the grasslands, and P11 tries to infer rain rates within the Xilin catchment with surface and satellite based remote sensing.
In the scope of the MAGIM project the validity of the following main hypotheses will be tested:
- Intensive grazing replaces slow growing plant species, and affects abundance of C 4 species.
- Differences in productivity of plant communities are related to differences in water use efficiency.
- Overgrazing leads to a reduced belowground C input in grassland soils, which in turn leads to a decline of soil organic carbon and increases gaseous volatilisation/emissions.
- Overgrazing affects soil bulk density, crusting, aggregation and infiltration capacity with major effects on the soil water balance. Due to increased runoff and reduced groundwater recharge, overgrazing reduces water availability.
- Overgrazing destroys plant cover and soil aggregates, inducing wind erosion (P8 and P9). Wind erosion is the major process of nutrient dislocation in the study area.
- Grazing intensity and management (continuos, rotational) are key factors for persistence and productivity of the sward.
- Parameters of growth analysis (tiller density, leaf area index) as well as the chemical composition (WSC) of sward dominating species can be used as indicators for the stability of the plant community.
- Long-term high animal productivity is not in conflict to ecosystem stability of grasslands.

How To Choose A Garmin Watch – Buying Guide
Garmin has a wide range of watches to choose from. The exact model to go for will depend on the features and capabilities you need to reach the training or fitness goals you're striving for. Here is more information about Garmin fitness trackers and the features to assess to determine which Garmin watch will match your needs and fitness goals.
GPS watches use GPS to track distance and speed for outdoor activities. When exercising indoors such as when running on a treadmill, you need a watch with an accelerometer to track distance and speed with GPS off. If you work out in the gym, be sure to get a watch with the ability to track indoor workouts.

Battery Life
One of the impressive things about Garmin multisport watches is its long battery life. All the watches have batteries that last for hours on a single charge with GPS on and even longer in battery saver and watch modes.
Garmin rates the battery life of each and every one of their watches. This makes it easy to pick the right watch depending on whether you just need a Garmin running watch for morning runs, a tracker for long races, or a companion for multi-day adventures in the backcountry.

Data Tracking
During active activities such as runs, walks, and hikes, Garmin multisport watches track basic data such as distance, speed, pace, heart rate, and provide even advanced metrics when paired with a heart rate chest strap.
They also function as everyday fitness trackers that monitor steps taken and stairs climbed and calculate calories burned, VO2 max, and fitness age. Not all watches track the same data metrics. Make sure the watch you choose provides the stats you care about.
Extra Accessories
If you want more data and even more accurate tracking, you will want to use your watch with other fitness accessories. Garmin trackers are compatible with many fitness and sports accessories such as foot pods, cadence sensors, ANT+ chest heart rate monitors, temperature sensors, and more.
Garmin Connect also interfaces with Strava and MyFitnessPal. When selecting what watch to get, find out whether extra accessories are required, and whether the watch is compatible with your other fitness accessories.
Heart Rate Monitoring
Keeping track of your heart rate gives you insights into your exertion levels and helps you improve your workouts and lifestyle. Most watches from Garmin have in-built heart rate monitoring. This means that you don't need to wear a chest strap during your runs or when sleeping. Their wrist-based HRMs are also pretty accurate and reliable, as attested by watch reviews.
Both the watches with integrated HRM and those without are also compatible with chest straps to give you pinpoint accuracy, heart rate tracking during swims workouts and more advanced metrics such as balance, ground contact time, VO2 Max, and more.
Mobile-Friendly Features
Garmin watches are compatible with IOS and Android mobile devices. Confirm that the watch you get is compatible with your device's operating system and wireless technologies. You will then be able to sync your smartphone and watch and enjoy the convenience of having text messages, incoming calls, social media, email and other alerts you get on your phone show up on your watch. You will also be able to control your phone's music player on the watch.
Garmin also offers the Garmin Connect mobile app where you can upload tracked data for ease of analysis and sharing and gain access to apps, widgets, activities, data fields, and watch faces you can download to personalize your watch of choice to suit your needs and preferences.
Training Modes
These watches come with pre-loaded modes for activities such as running, swimming, cycling, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, golf, cardio, and more. All you have to when engaging in an activity is to select the relevant mode and the watch will measure the relevant stats. For example, swim mode measures distance, pace, strokes, and counts laps.
Be sure to choose a watch model with the training modes you will be using. If you exercise indoors, check that the watch has an indoor workouts mode. The best thing is that you can also add modes for your favorite activities.
How you intend to use the watch will determine the best running watch to go for. Whether you are an avid runner, a triathlon athlete an outdoor adventurer, or a golf player, Garmin has the perfect watch for you. Look at the feature set each watch has and choose the watch that suits your intended use.
Not only should a Garmin watch have the features and training modes you need, but it should also be responsive. It should be quick to lock onto satellites for GPS positioning and tracking. It should respond fast when you start or stop it and notice interval and pace changes fast. The best Garmin multisport watches are highly rated for the responsiveness of their GPS and screens.
Garmin watches have a great style. You can get a watch that does everything you want to be done, holds up well, and also has a style you like whether you prefer a casual sports style watch, a rugged altimeter watch, or a regular watch look. You don't have to sacrifice style for functionality.
Pay attention to the buttons, screen, size, and shape of the watches, and choose something that fits well on your wrist, works well for the intended use and suits your preferences. These watches also have interchangeable bands making them versatile for everyday wear even in the office.
Q: Why Choose Garmin Watch?
If you need a running, sports, fitness, swimming, triathlete, cycling, climbing or hiking watch that also has on-wrist heart rate monitoring, activity tracking functionality, and smart features, Garmin is, without doubt, your best option. Their watches are accessibly priced, easy to use and have a solid reputation for spot on GPS tracking, accurate and reliable stats, and long battery lives. They are also stylish enough for everyday wear and compatible with a wide range of bands.
They have watches that provide what serious athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers care about. They even have models with TOPO maps, golf mode, ability to play music, ABC (altimeter, barometer, and compass) sensors, and contactless payments.Related Review: Altimeter Watches
Q: How Durable Are Garmin Watches?
Garmin watches are generally built rugged and durable. With proper care, they can last for years. Some models are, however, more durable than others. The Fenix models are the ultimate in durability and the best fitness trackers if you need a super-tough watch that can withstand rough use.
Q: How to Care for A Garmin Watch?
After investing in the best Garmin multisport watch, you will want to keep it in tip-top condition for a long time and this requires that you take care of it properly. First of all, avoid exposing your watch to cosmetics, polishes or chemicals of any kind. It is also important to rinse it thoroughly after a sweaty workout, swimming laps with it or after a shower.
To remove dirt that builds up over time, wipe it with a clean and soft lint-free cloth. Brush debris away from cavities using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Follow that with a thorough rinse using clean fresh water and always ensure the watch is completely dry before you wear or store it.
Globo Surf Overview
Whether you want a watch for music, golf, Garmin has the perfect watch for you. Your job is just deciding what's the best Garmin watch to buy. To simply the offerings, Garmin's watches fall within the Fenix, Forerunner, and Vivo ranges.
The Forerunner models are the best Garmin running watches with GPS while the Fenix models are the ultimate multisport models that are also rugged enough and equipped with features for outdoor use. The Vivo models are the best Garmin activity trackers and smartwatches.

Photos are on my back and my face
The harm that was bestowed by each individual case
The photos on my back are from those you call friends
The photos on my heart are from when our love ends
The photos on my face are from the fights I've won and lost
But the pain is really what each picture costs
Hoping to go far and eventually become a star
But by the time I get there, from head to toe, I'll be covered in scars.
Lifes a lie,
I won't yelp.
But I cry,
I need help.
Nothing anyone will do,
And no one truly cares.
It's nothing new,
It constantly tares.
And along with tears,
Comes blood and scars.
It all really sears,
Hidden unlike cars.
Help is not asked,
Because they just ignore.
I feel like an outcast,
It digs to my core.
One day Ill cut deep,
Purpose or accident?
The knife will seep,
Ill find out what I meant.
Suicide or a slip,
Either ones great.
Knife will take a dip,
Everything and everyone will be to late.
I sit and I wonder
Why am I here?
A year ago I was supposed to die
I told the devil to kiss my ass
And then flicked him off
Just as I walked away
Now I wear glasses
And my memory isn't right
I've got scars to prove my travels
Physical and mental
Now I sit and wonder
Just why for?
I feel me waking up
Is just a sign of
But a sign of what
Just a sign of _____
Go ahead and fill in the blank
Because I sure don't know what
I'm just here for the ride
I sure don't get to drive, I told you that

"Blessed is he who considers the poor." Psalm 41:1 NKJV
One of the most common excuses for not giving to the needy is: "I had to work hard for what I've got,; so should they." True, the Bible teaches that if you're not willing to work you're not entitled to support (See 2 Thessalonians 3:10). But did you know: (1) Six million children under five die every year of starvation? (2) One out of seven people goes to bed hungry every night? (3) The three richest people on the planet have more collective wealth than the combined gross national product of the world's forty-eight poorest countries?
General Booth, who founded the Salvation Army, said, "How can you convince a man of the love of God if his feet are perishing with the cold?" If your prayers aren't being answered, here's something to consider. The Israelites fasted and prayed, then complained that God wasn't answering their prayers. That's when He told them: "This is the kind of fast day I'm after: to break the chains of injustice…get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the oppressed, cancel debts…I'm interested in seeing you…sharing your food with the hungry…putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad, being available to your own families. Do this and the lights will turn on, and your lives will turn around at once. Your righteousness will pave your way. The glory of God will secure your passage. Then when you pray, God will answer. You'll call out for help and I'll say, 'Here I am'" (Isaiah 58:6-9 TM). When you care for the needy, the Lord promises to "deliver [you] in time of trouble" (Psalm 44:1 NKJV)–and you can take that to the bank.

By David Joel Miller, MS, Licensed Therapist & Licensed Counselor.
Short answer: see a therapist as much as you need, no more, no less.
Longer answer: There is nothing special about the once a week, 50-minute hour, therapy session. Psychoanalysts often see clients twice a week or more. If you have a personality disorder, especially Borderline Personality Disorder, at least 2 to 3 times a week is recommended. Once to work on current problems, once to learn skills to avoid having more crisis type problems and more sessions as needed for addressing the past and long-term suffering.
In substance abuse, the preferred method of treatment is lots of sessions and meetings in the beginning and then less as time goes on. Many programs begin with residential around the clock treatment to make quick gains followed by daily group sessions to consolidate the gains and lastly weekly follow-up sessions.
In Coaching or goal setting situations a single session may be all you need. That first session is sometimes followed by a booster session every so often.
Most of the time the number of sessions, frequency, and duration of treatment is determined by who is paying. Insurance may limit you. So might public funding. Court ordered treatment may set a minimum. If you need more sessions your provider should be able to advocate for you and help you get what you need.
The more serious the illness the more treatment will be needed. For some conditions you will need to stay on medication for the rest of your life and that medication will need monitoring even when you discontinue therapy.
The question of how much, how often and for how long are definitely things to discuss with your provider.

Best lubricant we've use
Reviewed: June 4, 2020 by PhJD, a Straight Engaged Male
Over the years we've used a fair few different brands of Lube, starting with Durex, and swiftly moving on to more 'silk' lubes, dabbling with Coconut oil when we were able, and our most recent go-to being the Liquid Silk Lubricant avilable here on LH. However, over time we noticed an increase in yeast infections, and looking into it more, Sugar-based lubricants can lead to this (which Liquid Silk Lube is).
As a result, we tried Sliquid Sassy, a paraben-free, hypoallergenic, all vegan lubricant.
Marketed as an anal lubricant due to its thicker consistency, it can be used for all play. The texture of the lube is extremely light compared to others we've used and makes it very easy to use, and a little goes a long way. Even in moments where it starts to fade, it is easily reactivated using a little bit of water. Being odourless and tasteless is a bonus.
This is easily the best lube we have used and we are now permanent converts. Anybody who has struggled with any persistent yeast infections, I encourage you to try this.
- Pros
- Excellent consistency, easy to reactivate with water.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Perfect lube.

Gorgeous, sexy lube
Reviewed: June 14, 2019 by Knottydevil, a Straight Married Male
This is seriously good lube. After trying out many others over the years, my wife and I settled on this for our favourite, go-to lube.
In my opinion, this is best for vaginal play and external play. Anal play works okay but we've found this need to be reapplied as it rubs off silicone toys.
Sassy is gorgeously thick and it slips and oozes in a seriously sexy way. If it does happen to dry a little, it can get slightly tacky or 'drag' a little, but a drop of plain old water brings it right back to life. This isn't ever a problem if you have any natural juices flowing!
I love the fact it's got a neutral flavour too, so there's no need to worry if you want to switch things up for some oral fun. Importantly, it's also never triggered a bout of thrush or any other vaginal health problems like some other lubes we've tried.
The ingredients list is reassuringly very short and free from petrochemicals, parabens, and other nasties, and we've had nothing but good times and complete confidence with this lube.
The bottle has a rather cute, nicely designed label which doesn't shout about its sexy uses, and has a button push to open the top so pretty easy to use with slippy hands!
Long lasting, too!
Thanks, LH.
- Pros
- Everything: Fun, sexy and good for a healthy sex-life.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Essential. Love, love, love this lube

Fantastic lube
Reviewed: March 23, 2019 by TryItAgain1900, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
This is the first lube I've found that really works for me. With other lubes, even those that claimed to be hypoallergenic, fragrance free and good for sensitive skin, I've felt tickly or itchy after use and had to make sure I wash it off.
This, however, just dries and doesn't leave any stickiness. I don't use it for anal play and it isn't actually suggested that's what it's for on the bottle, but I like the fact is less thick than it's original counterpart.
My partner and I both use this all the time and love it. We find we have to use a bit more than we would with other lubes we've used, but the lack of any negative effects definitely outweighs that minor point. If you add water after it has dried, it refreshes the lube. Definitely recommend to anyone who has had difficulty with sensitive skin or lubes causing thrush before.
- Pros
- Totally natural feel.
- Cons
- They don't sell bottles big enough!
- Bottom line
- Great for sensitive skin.

Best lube I've ever used
Reviewed: January 13, 2019 by AGY23, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I've used this lube solo. With toys, with a female partner, with a male partner, for vaginal and anal penetration and it is outstanding every time.
I can have very long sessions and very infrequently do I need to reapply it. And even if I feel like I need some more lube, generally just a bit of spit or water gets the original amount going again.
It feels great, not sticky or 'thick' like some lubes do, but is still enough on its own for anal penetration.
Can't recommend this highly enough. It's the only lube I use now.
- Pros
- Lasts for ages but feels great.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Fantastic lube for all occasions.

Pretty good
Reviewed: October 23, 2018 by Bogdan I., a Straight Single Male
I tried plenty of water-based lubes, and so far, I really think this is my favourite.
It doesn't drip everywhere (like thiner lubes do), and it doesn't dry out as fast as other water-based lubes.
While I usually prefer silicone for anal. This is a very good alternative and it's so much easier to clean than Silicone!
Big plus that it doesn't contain anything that could be of harm (i.e.: glycerine for the vaginal flora)!
But, oh boy, it stings so hard if you have some cut from a razor or something. I nicked myself while shaving my bits downstairs and I didn't notice at all (there was no visible sign), but as soon as a bit of lube touched that area I thought my crotch caught fire!
- Pros
- Thickness! Long-lasting!
- Cons
- Stings badly on a razor nick. :(
- Bottom line
- Pretty damn good! Best water-based lube I found so far.

Attributes of the Best Parking Equipment Company
The process of moving a vehicle to the side of the road and leaving it is known as parking. A place where a car is supposed to be parked is known as a parking space. Parking your vehicle on the side of the road is usually permitted. There are restrictions of parking a vehicle outside hotels, stores, schools, and other commercial areas. You can also park your car in city parking spaces which are managed by the county governments. To park a car in some parking lots mainly found in towns, you will have to pay for these services. Those who own parking spaces initially used manual methods of issuing parking tickets and collecting charges. Nowadays, a person who owns a parking space is supposed to buy parking equipment to earn more income. If you need the best parking equipment, you need to consider the following.

A Focus On Nature, Advent Calendar, Now for Nature
Gerald Durrell to NowforNature – Ben Porter
Welcome to our 2016 Advent Calendar series (#AFONAdvent)! This year, our theme is "The Gift of Inspiration". For each day, one of our members has written a blog post about someone who has inspired them, and how that inspiration has lead to them being #WildNow. We hope that you enjoy the series and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Passing away just three years before I was born, Gerald Durrell has nevertheless had a profound effect on my development as a naturalist and my curiosity with the natural world. Born in India in 1925, Gerry went on to spend his early teens exploring and immersing himself in the fauna of Corfu, a sunbaked island off the Greek coast. He and his family spent four idyllic years on this isle, before moving back to England prior to World War I.
In the following years, Gerry embarked on a career as an animal collector for various zoos, before establishing his own on the island of Jersey in 1959. At a time when many zoos were places centered on entertainment and with questionable ethics, the pioneering focus of his Jersey Zoo was saving species from extinction.
Joanna Porter (Ben's mother) as a teenager with Gerald and Lee Durrell, she won a young conservationist award and went to Jersey to meet them
Following Gerry's passing in 1995, the zoo became the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, and continues his legacy by combining training, education and research to raise awareness of endangered species and pioneering the conservation of biodiversity.
Through an enthralling collection of books from Gerry's career, we get a glimpse of his diverse explorations to many corners of the planet in search of exotic and bizarre creatures. His books are truly unique: he manages to combine witty humour with a lavishly descriptive storytelling ability, and allow almost anyone to enjoy his writing. It was Gerry's captivating tales from a childhood on Corfu in his first book, 'My Family and Other Animals', which captured my young imagination. Growing up from the age of 11 on an isolated island off the coast of North Wales, I guess I have many parallels with Gerry's own upbringing: my days spent watching birds, marveling at the diversity of life inhabiting the rugged isle and generally seeking to broaden my knowledge of natural history … reading Gerry's books provided a constant source of inspiration to aid my early divulgences in wildlife.
As I embark on a wildlife-orientated career in conservation, Gerry's love for the natural world and his unabated determination to save species from extinction will continue to give me aspirations, whatever path I chose. It is this latter aspect of Gerry's legacy – protecting the environment – which bears most urgency in a world where wildlife needs every single person it can to stand up and shout out for it. As Gerry puts it: "Remember that the animals and plants have no M.P. they can write to… they have nobody to speak for them except us, the human beings who share the world with them". I believe this to be the most important message put forward in all of his books and varied career: nature needs our help, and it start with you and I.
Ben Porter (wearing an AFON t-shirt!) and a Red Admiral butterfly (c) Will Hawkes
With this in mind, I have embarked on a degree studying conservation biology at university, with a long-term aim to progress into the field of active conservation, whatever form that may take. Closer to home, I try to encourage a focus on recording wildlife and caring for the environment through various societies, events and initiatives at university, whilst actively volunteering with organisations like Butterfly Conservation and A Rocha international in the great work they do.
Ben Porter with a Great Grey Shrike, in Romania (c) Florence Cordner
Gerry has been an inspiring figure for me, and countless thousands others I'm sure. I hope his stories and actions continue to stir a passion for the environment in many more, both young and old. If you haven't already read his books, I would strongly recommend you do! You can find out more about the work of the Durrell wildlife conservation trust here: https://www.durrell.org/

Protection From the Sun
Destiny W.
Summertime is coming, and it's time to break out the sunscreen and flip-flops. Having had almost a full two weeks of beautiful weather and sunshine, people are already getting sunburnt left and right. Sunburns are usually not that severe and are easily preventable. A sunburn is caused when your skin burns from too much exposure to the sun. Skin burned by the sun often is red and painful, even hot to the touch. More severe sunburns can cause peeling of your skin, swelling, roughness, and blistering. If you repeatedly get sunburnt, it raises the risk of skin cancer and can give you more wrinkles and dark spots as you age.
Wearing sunscreen is the best way to avoid the sun's harmful rays. If you're outside for long periods of time, be sure to bring sunscreen and reapply it often. If you are in a rush to get sunblock on, buy spray-on sunscreen. It usually works just as well. If you'll be swimming or doing an activity where you sweat a lot, such as running, buy waterproof sunscreen. Don't forget to put sunscreen on your face, as it will burn just as quickly as the rest of your body, if not more so. If you're worried about ruining makeup, they make powder sunscreens to apply without interfering with it.
If you're more concerned about being sunburnt and want to do more than wear some sunscreen, you can wear hats, sunglasses, and, if it's cold enough, wear pants and a long sleeve shirt. Stay in the shade and limit time outside between the hours of ten in the morning to four in the evening, as that is when the sun is strongest. One other important thing to avoid is tanning. Tanning can be just as harmful to your skin as burning and does not protect from sunburn. Wearing sunscreen and tanning just from being outdoors is much safer than putting on tanning lotion and laying out in the sun.
Finally, if you do end up getting sunburnt, there are some ways to relieve it. It usually heals in a few days, but until it does, it can be extremely painful. The most popular way to alleviate burning is to put aloe vera lotion on because aloe gel can help to heal burns. You can also hold an ice pack on the burn or use a regular moisturizer.

Precision measurements in even the most extreme manufacturing environments - CMM accuracy wherever you need it.
The Xtreme is a revolutionary shop floor CNC CMM designed using a non-Cartesian structure and utilising linear motors and mechanical bearings. It is therefore an extremely robust, stand-alone inspection unit that is sold at a price that means precision measurements can now be made anywhere that you want them.
Designed using a non-Cartesian structure and utilising linear motors and mechanical bearings, as its name implies, the Xtreme CNC CMM provides a robust solution for providing precision inspection results. The unique CMM's advantageous configuration ensures that it maintains its accuracy at very fast measurement rates and does not suffer from the accumulative inaccuracies that occur in conventional 3-axis Cartesian designs.
The Xtreme is a self-contained inspection unit. It has no air bearings, so no requirement for compressed air - just plug it in and go. Built-in temperature control and a compact footprint allow the Xtreme to be placed wherever it is needed.
Another unique advantage of the Xtreme is that all of the struts are controlled to operate at 40°C. This means that the measurement structure of the Xtreme will always be at a constant temperature even when the ambient environment is not controlled and hence measurement accuracy will be maintained.
The innovative Xtreme is an evolution of CMM technology. However, it is the price of the Xtreme that will have such a significant effect on the market, with the potential for multiple units replacing a single inspection room CMM, ensuring that measurement is provided close to where it is required
*The machine should not be positioned where it will be subjected to rapid changes in temperature. Max rate of ambient temperature change should not be more than 1°C/hour.
Axiom too...
the complete inspection system.
Aberlink offer the Axiom too CMM as either a manual machine or with full CNC control
Accurate and reliable, the Axiom too Manual CMM comes in Y axis travel sizes of 600mm or 900mm and is supplied as a complete package with everything you need to start measuring parts from day one. The Axiom too can be used with
touch trigger probe
or with Aberlink's revolutionary non-contact camera system.
The all aluminium bridge structure ensures the temperature of the machine rapidly follows the temperature of the room, ideal when the CMM is not housed in a controlled environment. Temperature compensation in the software reports results as if they had been measured at 20°C/68°F
The standard high-tech granite and aluminium table, originally developed for the optics industry, provides fantastic natural damping of high frequency vibration and the granite Y rail allows pre-loading of the bridge air bearings in both directions for superior accuracy.
A unique feature of the Axiom too Manual CMM allows the machine to be simply upgraded to CNC at any point in the future, great if you are not sure of your requirement or perhaps can't initially justify the additional cost of a CNC machine.

There are a number of philosophies that Aberlink have adopted since it was founded in 1993 that have revolutionised the way that modern CMMs are now manufactured. Firstly the bridge of the Zenith too is fabricated entirely from aluminium alloy. This has a number of advantages: the cost of machining is significantly lower than for machines made from granite, ceramic or other exotic materials. The aluminium is stress relieved to produce a highly stable structure and, with modern computing power, running a real-time error map to achieve high accuracy is simple.
Also, as the Zenith too is made from a single material it expands and contracts uniformly with temperature change - if machines were made from different materials, a change in temperature would cause a distortion and hence introduce errors. Aberlink offer easy-to-use temperature compensation within the user software.
All moving parts are light and this, combined with good design, means that the Zenith too has low inertia and therefore optimal acceleration characteristics. Hence the machines are really fast, minimising inspection times.
*Maximum Permissible Error MPEE according to 10360-2, 2009 within the thermal limits defined for optimum temperature range.
As CMMs get larger, it is not simply a case of scaling up the design of smaller models. Stiffness of the structure is critical, but weight must also be kept to a minimum. The Azimuth CMM is not only Aberlink's largest in their range of CMM products, but it is the culmination of over twenty years experience and excellence in the design and manufacture of innovative metrology equipment incorporating the very latest materials technology.
The revolutionary bridge of the Azimuth incorporates aluminium honeycomb sheets developed for use in formula one and the aerospace industry. The remarkable stiffness to weight ratio that this provides gives the Azimuth an edge in both performance and speed. For a machine of this size, the Azimuth is not only fast, but extremely accurate. The drive systems designed for the Azimuth offer simplicity and reliability and the novel system used on the Y axis ensures that there is no degradation of performance across the full range of machine sizes offered up to 3m.
A big machine should also be able to measure a heavy component and this is another area where Aberlink has applied innovative thinking. Rather than simply increasing the depth of the granite table, which adds huge cost and weight to the machine, we offer a specially designed load plate to sit on the granite base. This plate can accept up to a six tonne load which will then be transmitted directly through the feet of the machine bench directly to the floor, meaning no loss of metrology performance whatsoever.

The whole philosophy for Aberlink is to make measurement easy. Aberlink 3D software has been written by engineers for engineers and sets the industry standard for simple-to-use software. Designed around a graphical interface, Aberlink 3D can work in 2D or 3D, on manual or CNC CMMs and is equally at home when used with either touch, scanning or vision systems. It is easy to understand why Aberlink 3D has become the software of choice not only for Aberlink, but for numerous other manufacturers of measuring devices around the world.
Aberlink 3D software is not only way ahead of its competition in being the industry standard for 'easy-to-use' software, but also has the depth of functionality to make it the choice for either occasional users or full-time inspection professionals.
Aberlink 3D software is revolutionary. As a component is measured a representation of it is built up on the screen. The user simply clicks on the measured features to call up dimensions exactly as they would appear on a drawing.
Inspection reports can be in the form of fully dimensioned graphical representations as created on the screen, or tabulated reports in various formats that can show nominals, tolerances, errors, pass/fails, geometric tolerances etc. These reports can also be output to an Excel spreadsheet.
Further reports are available to show the form of features (roundness, straightness etc.), hole or point positions, or complete batch results on one report. The user's company name also appears on all outputs.
Every time a component is inspected, a programme for measuring subsequent components is automatically created. The software also calculates 'safe' moves between features, even when the probe is indexing – just another thing that the operator doesn't have to worry about
Popular throughout the world and available in many languages, Aberlink's revolutionary measurement software provides the user with a powerful, yet easy-to-use solution for inspection measurements. This not only increases component throughput but vastly reduces the learning period for new users.
The Aberlink CAD Comparison software module enhances Aberlink 3D with the capability to compare measured points to a CAD model. Often this will be the only way to measure complex parts or perhaps sometimes drawings for the component simply don't exist.
Powerful alignment routines allow measurement points to be best-fitted to the model. Colour coded errors can then be displayed on the model to produce both graphical and tabulated reports that are extremely clear and very easy to understand.
Aberlink's CAD comparison module allows the input of either STEP or IGES files as standard and allows reports to be exported as an Excel spreadsheet. It really does make measuring complex parts easy, whether on a manual or CNC CMM.
For many years Aberlink 3D software has been setting the industry standard for both ease of use and speed of programming. However, until now this has been best done by using the teach-and-repeat method of programming when measuring a component. But what if you want to prepare the measurement programme before you even have the first component? Now, we are pleased to introduce our new CAD programming module, which in true Aberlink fashion, allows the simplest programming possible from either an IGES or STEP CAD model.
Feature Predict works in the same way as when measuring, for instance, if you click in four places on the same plane on the model, then the software will automatically create a Plane Measure unit with those four points in it. Then click on a different feature and it will automatically close the Plane window and look for another feature. If you click on a circular feature it will take just one click to produce a circle or two for a cylinder. Suddenly programming in Aberlink 3D just got even easier!If you can use Aberlink 3D software then you will already know how to use the CAD programming module – it couldn't be easier. Rather than taking measurement points on a component, you can now just click on the surface of the model where you would like the points to be taken.
Aberlink's CAD programming module can be used either on the CMM or offline.
The TP8 probe offers an entry level option for customers that require infrequent indexing of the probe and no indexing during the running of a measurement programme. The TP8 is supplied with two knuckle joints to allow infinite alignment of the probe to the feature being measured, but this alignment is non repeatable, meaning that the stylus will need to be requalified following each index. The TP8 probe accepts the M3 range of styli.
The MH20i probe offers repeatable manual indexing of the probe head from 0° to 90° in the A axis and through 360° in the B axis, in 15° increments. Ideal for manual CMMs, it can also be used on CNC models, but will require intervention from the operator whenever indexing is required. The MH20i uses a TP20 stylus module, which in turn accepts the M2 range of styli.
The RTP20 probe offers a really cost effective solution for customers that require automatic indexing on CNC machines. Modelled on the MH20i body, the RTP20 uses the CNC motion of the CMM to position itself using a post mounted to the bed of the machine. Like the MH20i it is able to index from 0° to 90° in the A axis and through 360° in the B axis, in 15° increments and uses a TP20 stylus module, which in turn accepts the M2 range of styli. The RTP20 is also fully compatible with the MCR20 change rack to provide an option that provides both automatic stylus changing as well as automatic indexing.
The PH10T is a fully motorised probe head that offers immediate indexing from 0° to 105° in the A axis and through 360° in the B axis, in 7.5° increments. This probe head should be used by customers requiring frequent indexing or when more precise alignment to the features being measured is required.
Like the PH10T probe head, the PH10M is also a fully motorised probe head that offer immediate indexing from 0° to 105° in the A axis and through 360° in the B axis, in 7.5° increments. The M head, however, incorporates an autojoint with multiwire capability, which is necessary for the SP25M scanning probe. The PH10M probe head can also be fitted with either TP20 or TP200 probes and should be chosen in preference to the PH10T when using these probes if the future use of a scanning technology may be required.
This head provides a fixed autojoint for when an SP25M scanning probe is required without the requirement for indexing.
The SP25M scanning probe uses an isolated optical metrology transducer system to enable extremely accurate measurements to be taken with the stylus in continuous contact with the feature being inspected. This enables more data to be taken which is important when form is critical. A range of modules are available for the SP25M to provide optimised scanning performance using M3 styli up to 400mm long.
Incorporating the latest 5-axis technology, the PH20 head offers infinite indexing to assist with alignment to any feature being measured at any angle up to 120°. The probe is able to perform 'head touches', where it flicks the stylus on to the surface of the component being measured, while the machine remains stationary. This increases both the speed of measuring and accuracy achievable. Please note that if selecting the PH20 head, then the machine would also have to be fitted with a Renishaw CMM controller. The PH20 uses TP20 stylus modules, which in turn accept the M2 range of styli.

Richard Lester and Richard Donner direct Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder and Terrence Stamp in the blockbuster sequel where Superman abandons his powers to settle down with Lois, just as three vengeful Kryptonian exiles arrive on Earth hellbent on getting everyone to kneel in front of them.
If you asked me up until 2019 "What's the best Superman movie?*", I'd plump for this without a millisecond of hesitation. But it isn't really, is it. A film of wonderous, iconic, childhood defining moments that holds together flakily. The perfect example of why you shouldn't see the sausage being made. When you know about Superman II's troubled production you cannot help but see the joins, fudges and compromises snagging out at your entertainment hungry eyeballs.
For those who don't know: The producers were the Salkinds, a pair infamous for getting cast and crew to film an excess of material during the production of a first film so that they could pay principals only once for essentially two shoots, ending up with a cost reduced sequel already in the can before Episode One premiered. The plan almost worked here if it wasn't for three people.
1. Marlon Brando threatened to sue them if any footage of him appeared in Superman II. This leads to him being edited out of all flashbacks and Fortress of Solitude moments, moments he should certainly be in. Creating an almost Stalinist revision of what we saw in 1978 in the cinemas / three hours earlier at home. He is glaringly out of the picture.
2. Then Richard Donner disagreed with the Salkinds about the tone of the sequel. So he was kicked off the set with 30% of filming still to go. Richard Lester took over, a director who preferred silly sight gags over epic sweep, and had to reshoot so many scenes in his more journeyman style otherwise the Director's Guild would credit Donner and the Salkinds would have to pay him. This, in turn, created another problem.
3. Gene Hackman sided with Donner and refused to take part in any reshoots out of solidarity. Meaning a lot of Lex Luthor's new midshots are an obvious body double, facing the wrong way and dubbed by an impressionist. Meanwhile reams of plot are narrated by said impressionist and Miss Teschmacher while stock footage of indistinguishable, tiny figures in wideshot traverse snowy tundra and mountainous peaks. Lester and the Salkinds found a solution to the myriad problems of getting caught without their biggest names, but it is not a solution that works particularly well on repeated viewings.
Yet a deeply flawed film is not necessarily a bad film. The fudges do link a lot of memorable stuff. Terrence Stamp's high camp Zod is an absolute blast as the tyrant who doesn't quite understand the planet he is subjugating. Sarah Douglas' Ursa makes for a support villian so deviously sexy and powerful I'm sure she pre-programmed quite a few boys of my generation to seek out strong, bad girls with pixie haircuts in later life. Together with dumb muscle Non, they make a triumvirate that genuinely threatens Earth and Supes. Plotwise, how can our hero beat three antagonists all equally as powerful as him, working together and with no regard for human life? It creates an excitingly tense premise sadly only really explored in a lengthy slapstick fight outside the Daily Planet. Lester should be shot for some of those "sight gags".
The romance between Clark and Lois continues. With Clark forsaking his powers for a normal life. This sequence adds to the growing tension (boy oh boy, will he need those powers soon) and gifts Reeve with his best acting moments when he discovers what it truly would feel like to be as defenceless as his Clark Kent persona.
So Superman II doesn't really hold up to adult scrutiny yet it still manages to link together a few really fabulous sequences.
*The best pure and uncut Superman movie is the more consistent first entry, while the best movie featuring Superman is Zack Snyder's much maligned but chaotically compelling BvS: Dawn of Justice. Kneel before, Snyder!

There is no better way to see everything Macon has to offer than by getting behind the wheel of your Alamo rental car. Stop wasting your vacation waiting on the bus, or being nickel and dimed with ride-shares or taxis. When you have the keys to your own car, you can drive anywhere you want to go, whenever you want. Make your next trip to Georgia even better with an Alamo car rental.
With over one-hundred thousand people, Macon is a city that has plenty going on. Many visitors come to enjoy Macon's mountain views and Pleasant climate. Whatever you choose to do first, you'll want to see as much of Macon as you can during your road trip. And with your Alamo rental car, you'll be able to see and do more of what this city offers.
CarRentals.com works with the most dependable car rental companies. Alamo opened in 1974 and pioneered the concept of Unlimited Free Mileage. Alamo strives to provide a fun, low-cost, high-value rental experience to leisure and family travelers.
CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest price, whether you reserve your vehicle. However, getting your car well ahead of your trip can help keep spending low. Be sure to not add an additional driver and check the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.
Be sure to present credit card, as well as your driver's license.
Alamo's minimum age to rent a car in Macon is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to check Alamo's policy to know if there is an additional cost before you book.
That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Macon. Economy or compact cars are great for short drives and are easier to park. Commute times in Macon are around 25 minutes, so you may find a SUV or mid-size car more comfortable. If you want to decrease your emissions and save on gas, then opt for a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a little luxury on their Macon getaway can choose a higher-end car model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.
You are required to have insurance before you rent from Alamo in the United States. Many of the major credit card issuers (Discover, American Express, Visa and MasterCard) usually offer coverage. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering large vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. Be sure to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Macon. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Alamo does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Alamo will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the model and make of the rental.
At CarRentals.com, we advise a full to full policy. You pick up your Alamo rental with a full tank. But, if you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring the car back to Alamo.
Macon has enough to keep you entertained, but you may want to drive to nearby cities to see what else Georgia has to offer. You can explore the rest of the area free of mileage limits once you've had an evening out in Macon's downtown or gone out in Macon's downtown.
Alamo offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental at another Alamo. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
With so much to do and see in Macon, having access to an automobile lets you explore at your own pace. When you're ready to discover more of Georgia, you can go when you want to, without waiting for your ride to pick you up or looking through a bus schedule.
Before your next business or leisure venture, book your Alamo Macon rental car and zip off to take in all the must-do activities. Book through CarRentals.com and speed along the streets in Macon, Georgia.
