We sell high quality used Dimroth condensers from European top brands, such as Schott Duran, at 40 % of the new price. Every piece of glassware is "as new" and has been controlled and cleaned before offering them for sale. If a piece of glassware is very slightly damaged, than we sell this piece as B quality glassware. B quality glassware functions properly and is a lot cheaper. For the used laboratory glassware we limit ourselves to the Dutch market as the transportation costs to other countries probably exceed the savings in buying used glassware.
A Dimroth condenser consists of an inner coil surrounded by an outer tube. However, the coolant flows through the inner coil and the substance condenses inside the outer tube. Next to the inner coil a tube that runs in the middle of said coil is present. Dimroth condensers are very effective for both reflux and distillations, but relatively expensive.

[source: wikimedia] Sometimes you want to dress up, but sometimes you just want to wear your favorite pullover.
As usual, in any discussion of how to look older in casual clothes I always start out by linking to the OG Extra Petite blog post How to Look Older in Casual Attire. She did an excellent job laying out concepts.
Her examples are still super helpful for getting the point across, but as the post was made in 2010 the styles are a bit dated and specific to her relatively preppy personal style. In this post I'd like to share my own examples with outfits that are still casual even in the "after" version and delve more into how variables of hair, makeup, outerwear, and shoes can individually affect a look. I'm sure there are many other people who are happy to still keep wearing jeans and tees but still want to come across in a first visual impression as having more authority than a random high schooler.
I'm focusing more on the details of casual looks here rather than toning down or maturing the Rainbow Brite area of the kids look. I think most people understand that wearing an outfit like a t-shirt with a sequined unicorn on it with a tulle skirt over striped leggings with frill socks and sneakers is a youthful look, or likewise that a school branded sweatshirt with jeans, sneakers, and a backpack will make you look like a student.
Do I need to look older??
If this wasn't something you were already concerned about, then no! This post isn't about dumping on any outfit that feels immature or saying you should never dress that way.
But if you are feeling like your wardrobe doesn't match who you are anymore or maybe you just want to be confident in your ability to break out a slightly more mature outfit for an interview or something when it's called for, then you are the target audience. Of course it's impossible to cover all the ways you could look older for all styles and contexts, but the idea is that a couple of examples should be helpful to get you thinking about what you can tweak using your own items when you're iterating on an outfit.
I've been in the tech startup world for my career so a lot of the common advice of "upgrade to casual biz caz!" is not really applicable and depending on the startup, going full business could be overkill even for an interview. I have coworkers who dress in the casual end of bizcaz regularly so even though I could dress more formally without seeming out of touch, that's not where I'd like to take my wardrobe. I like to be able to exercise my casual-company-culture privilege and wear my t-shirts and frippery any time, but while also having a distinguishing look from the interns.
Key Concepts
Ask yourself, "If scaled down, would you literally dress a five year old in this?" and "Is this a typical high school/college student's outfit for an 8:00 AM class?"
If the answer to either of those is yes, then add or change things about your outfit until the answer is no. Remember to adjust your images of the older student for macrotrends if you're basing your stereotype on memories of what you and your friends wore.
I know, that is super obvious. But I think having a litmus test question laid out that you can come back to allows us to feel grounded and provide a framework for iteration while ultimately allowing for more flexibility than just "upgrade your jeans to trousers" style of mappings.
So with that said, what are some of the variables that affect how youthful or mature something in the fashion realm seems?
At least from my own experience, when you're in elementary school or a college sophomore in the midst of finals, you just want to be comfortable and looking put-together wasn't a priority.
- Stretchy fabrics, sporty footwear, and softer non-fussy outerwear are staples.
- Hair and makeup aren't done (at most, hair is pulled out of the way).
- Outfits are simpler and/or thrown together without much coordination.
- Stuff might not fit (because you're growing out of or into something, or because you're just too young to have thought about fit).
Of course, we can still be comfortable and wear supportive footwear and all that even with a more polished look. But we want to avoid a head to toe look that screams all of these things at once.
And yes, #NOTALLKIDS dress like this… blah blah standard disclaimer that this is just from my own experiences and is a generalization and there are always exceptions. Also yes, you can have an outfit that is both youthful and very put-together/cool/charismatic. I am assuming that if you've read this far you are probably in the same boat as me where you were not a put-together youth 🙃
Some things to consider:
- Structure – look for things with more body to them which can have a more defined shape. This doesn't mean you have to wear suiting. Details like a square neckline or pleats or just anything with more construction to it like a funnel neck sweater or a belt or cable-knitting or pointier toes on shoes.
- Fabric – I find that visually richer fabrics tend to feel more mature. For example, thicker knit sweaters vs athletic hoodie material. Even denim is a step up from leggings (how many five year olds do you know who'd put up with 100% cotton jeans?).
- Formality – I'm sure you know this, but ISO stock photo person office job clothing from Ann Taylor is always going to feel more adult than a t-shirt and leggings all other things being equal.
- I think it's worth pointing out that just because it's a dress/skirt doesn't mean it's formal. Fabric and structure contribute more to that than just whether something has a skirt. I have definitely been that person who'd wear a jersey fabric dress to a semi formal event and wonder why I felt like such a schlub compared to everyone else.
- Outfit formality is a different thing from whether an outfit is well put together. You can still put together, say, an athleisure outfit that is visually interesting and balanced. You could be "well-dressed" in athleisure but not "dressed up".
- Intentionality – Even if you are wearing loud items, you're wearing a thought-out outfit which is overall balanced in visual interest. Think the opposite of a kid who is wearing their favorite sparkle skirt to death over all their outfits or a high school kid who thinks that adding a trench coat or leather jacket over the tee and ill-fitting jeans they pulled out of the hamper makes them look cool and badass.
- You can give a major bump up to any look through "finished" looking hair, makeup, and nails. What this means is pretty dependent on your own features and context and is out of scope of this article.
- Being on-trend can also help, particularly with high-impact pieces like glasses. Doesn't need to be up-to-the-minute, but looking "with it" is one way to visually communicate that you have at least some of your shit together.
- Sexiness – this one is more applicable when you're trying to move away from the little kiddie look. I'm not getting into this one too much here because most of my example photos are on a t-shirt and jeans based outfit.
- Fit – obviously, as the opposite of the bullet point in the previous list, your stuff should fit. If you're not sure how something should fit, see where similar items hit on stock photos on models and you can also always google it and ask people (I have generally had a good experience on r/femalefashionadvice's Daily Questions thread).
For any given outfit you certainly don't need to change all of these aspects in order to cross the threshold of "definitely not looking for their parents". They are options to consider adjusting. For example, I discuss purses in one of the later sections, but on weekdays I usually just wear an ergonomic laptop backpack that was provided by my employer. Sure, that doesn't look great, but swapping it out for a nice leather tote isn't a priority for me in the context of commuting since it's going to come off as soon as I get to the office anyway and most of the other commuters are wearing backpacks too, even if they're in suits.
Instead of copying down a list of item mappings "instead of X wear Y" that I could provide here, I suggest just doing a round of people-watching (if you live near somewhere where most people don't dress super casually all the time), or else browsing some online lookbooks and catalogs of a couple of different brands and seeing how they style the models. Think about which outfits seem more mature and try and identify what makes feel that way. Heck, if you have a TV show or some media with a casual contemporary setting that you like, you could take notes on that too.
To help with that, spend like 20 minutes to expand your fashion vocabulary so you have words for all the different types of clothing features you see. Do an image search for "types of jackets", "types of women's shoes" (or men's shoes), "types of pants for women" (same), etc. Also when you are shopping online, start paying attention to the item descriptions.
Anyway, on to some actual photos to demonstrate how much of a difference changing some of these things can make.
I didn't do a full photo set of changing a single variable against all the other variables for every example, but I hope this is enough of pictures to demonstrate how any of the things discussed above can affect a look.
For outfits with only the "after" style photo, I'll add more notes.
T-shirt and Jeans: Changing peripheral details
Do kids these days usually tuck their shirts in now? I think that little kids still don't, but I guess the college students do. In that case:
Things I changed here are
- Hair: rough ponytail -> down and styled (It might not look it, but this is my STYLED hair with product in it. It's super flat and limp otherwise. I only have the resources to do examples on myself, so especially for hair/makeup/glasses please take these as demonstrations of how a detail can affect an overall look, and not like "I need to wear my hair down and straight")
- Glasses: half-plastic half-metal frame glasses with a top heavy look -> round light silver wire glasses
- Outerwear: gray hoodie -> olive green field jacket with a waist cinch
- Shoes: sport sandals -> Birkenstock "Mayari" sandals (currently Birks are pretty trendy, and while I see lots of students with them, they're at least not something little kids tend to wear)
- Makeup: no makeup -> filled in eyebrows with brow pomade (Glossier Boy Brow in black) and added lipstick (Wet n Wild "Mochalicious")
Still a super casual and within the realm of things that I think I could see a student wearing, but it doesn't feel like "Free promotional t-shirt I slept in because I pulled an all-nighter in the computer lab that I'm wearing to collect free pizza at the infosession".
I thought it was pretty interesting to see how only changing some parts of the outfit changed up the look, so here are some individual comparisons. If you're going to change one or two things, I can't prescribe whether hair or swapping out your outerwear will make a bigger difference on your features/wardrobe/context. If you're figuring stuff out, I highly recommend taking photos of yourself like this and then seeing which version of an outfit you like more. It's easier when you can see yourself in the third person, and compare two versions side by side.
Ideally I would have had exactly the same hair, but the OG "after" version was taken as an actual #ootd photo and I did the rest of the blog-specific photos after I had gotten a haircut. For this particular look, I personally like it better with the longer, less blunt haircut.
In the photo above I feel like while I do look older with the makeup on it isn't necessarily a better look with the hoodie and sandals. My head feels like it got pulled from another outfit. This is actually something I associate with teens/college students – I more commonly see them in super casual outfits but with insta-glam makeup (I also frequently used to do this, since I got into makeup before clothes). Makeup's fun so I'd make time for it, but why bother dressing up for 8:00 AM chemistry lecture ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
On the other hand, in this case just changing out the jacket is less jarring. Note that since I didn't meticulously plan out the media for this post I took the field jacket outfit photo after I had filled in my eyebrows and I have some residual lip color on. It wasn't meant as a science experiment, just note-taking.
With just the hair and glasses changed in this outfit it feels more of a stylistic choice than a maturity thing.
T-shirt and Jeans: Changing pants and shoes
Here I wear the same BB-8 embroidered patch pocket tee with styled hair and my usual glasses and makeup, but I go from more of a normcore thing to a more polished and currently trendy look. I think the heavy lifting here is being done by the sleek boots, as the wrinkly canvas pants are almost as casual as old jeans. However the wide-leg cropped pants are closer to chinos/trousers so they do elevate the outfit some. While they are a very modest cut, the wide leg pants create a more curvy figure by making my silhouette more hip heavy.
T-shirt and Jeans: accessorizing
Free t-shirt from a children's television show + blue jeans. Even that can be dressed up a level by adding some leather accessories and substantial shoes. I didn't go totally matchy-matchy with the belt to make it all feel a little more natural.
Similarly to how I used to think any dress was a fancy item, I used to think that any purse (subbed in for a backpack) would make an outfit look more grown up. But generally I find that leather/pleather is usually more of a mature vibe than fabric bags, even if the fabric is in a neutral color.
Not specific to looking older, but from just a proportions standpoint, I usually don't like belting these jeans because the inch cut off by the belt makes them feel like midrise jeans instead of high-rise. But since here the top is more of an older style crew neck that's almost a mock neck, the longer overall proportion created by the entire light colored base outfit doesn't make me feel as cut off.
(This is another outfit where I'm not keen on the harsher bangs (I feel like they don't suit relaxed styles), but that's what my hair looked like at the time. And either way that's quibbling, I do like the look overall.)
T-shirt and Leggings: Changing peripheral details
This photoset is brought to you by "Grunge Expansion Pack no. 1": Beat up field jacket / utility jacket, dark muted lipstick, and Dr Martens 1460s 😂. Of course some distressed black jeans would really make this look, but it was fun to see what effects I could get while keeping the basic no-brand cotton leggings.
Fewer changes: lipstick and shoes only. I generally like the outfit on the right as a casual sporty weekend sort of look, but the boots just give it a more distinct distinct feel. Having the socks as an additional accessory also makes the outfit on the left feel more like an outfit and adds some visual interest to the bottom part of the look.
While often times I feel that sneakers + more structured outerwear like blazers or trench coats can feel disjointed, I'm a fan of field jackets and moto jackets as a pairing for a sportier base. I think it's because they have more active origins even if they're used mostly in a fashion context for most people.
Also, because I feel like this is coming off like I universally dislike ponytails, here's one look that I felt looked better with hair up. I prefer the ponytail because then my face isn't getting engulfed by all the black of the jacket + hair + bangs. I added lipstick to add more definition to the middle of my head though.
Yellow top and tulle skirt with floral embellishments
And for a change of pace, here's a more colorful and fanciful look. (Apologies for the photo quality on this one.)
The outfit on the left feels a bit childish. It's a nice happy casual outfit overall, but I wouldn't wear it if I was trying to look older. I have a post-pubescent figure so obviously no one is going to literally think I'm 5 or 14, but it does give off a more youthful vibe. On the right side version, which uses the same skirt, I look more mature. I don't think all the changes were needed to cross into "not literally something you'd dress a five year old in" but some points to consider:
- The wooden clogs are still pretty casual but imo are more hardcore than you'd expect a kid to put up with.
- The top is still a stretchy yellow t-shirt! But it's more tailored and has a more structured feel from the neckline (also there's just the fact that it's more low-cut, though it's not at Reformation levels of dramatic square-neck).
- Of course, there is also the bright lipstick.
- While unstyled ponytails can look fine from an "overall looks like an adult" metric with more elevated clothes (like officewear), here I don't think it's doing the look a favor from that perspective because the other items and general styling are all also more low-key.
Misc tips and notes
In no particular order:
🕰 This takes a lot of work and time. It will get easier and more intuitive the more you practice it. In that, vein, expect that your success at making polished outfits will not be monotonically increasing. Especially if you're experimenting with new types of items (i.e. not just trying to find a slightly different version of something you're already comfortable with), it might take a while to figure out the right cut, fabric, color, etc for you. Even if your outfit experiment doesn't work, out it's okay! You can learn something from it. It's a long term process.
🧵 If you're not a standard size (e.g. petite), there are a lot of items where you're probably better off just getting things tailored than trying to find all your items perfectly fitted off the rack. Uniqlo will hem pants you bought from them for free. Nordstroms usually have on-site tailoring. Dry cleaners often have alterations services for simpler fixes. Getting pants and sleeves hemmed or taking in the waist are usually pretty straightforward requests for a tailor.
🤔 Repeating this from earlier because it's important: Not sure if it fits? Ask for some advice from a friend. Doesn't even need to be someone super fashionable or trendy, just someone who seems to have a general sense of how standard items should fit. You can also ask for feedback by posting a photo to the Daily Questions thread on r/femalefashionadvice. For specific types of items you can also see how things fit on models in the stock photos on web shops.
🔭 All the t-shirts I used here were heavier types of t-shirts and not super fitted. I strongly associate fitted cap sleeve "girly tees" with what was popular circa 2002-2012 and I also often feel like a sausage in them even if they fit correctly. If/when they ever come back I'm sure this post will look just as dated as the Extra Petite one seems now.
📺 While I did use a graphic tee in a lot of the examples here, there are a whole range of graphic tees and I find that the ones with cartoon drawings that you can get from redbubble or teespring are a lot more difficult to shift into a more grown up look than one with a more abstract print, a fine art print, or even a souvenir shirt from a national park or something. Even text-based graphic tees can work, though ones that advertise a band or place are usually more all-ages than one with a snarky comment or cute pun on them. It's not impossible to style these in a more grown up way and it's not intrinsically bad to wear them, but if your goal is to look older then just be aware that these likely require more finesse to pull off in that context than if your base is a plain t-shirt.
💃🏻 Grandma-level advice right here, but good posture and speaking confidently and clearly can do more to make you come off more like an adult than any clothes. What's more stereotypical for a teenager look than idgaf bad posture?
I hope that these examples give you some ideas of some smaller things you can play around with in your own outfits to create the vibe you want! For more reading (both things by me and other people), check out the Style Resources page.
Have any of y'all spent some time stewing on what clothes and details make your outfits feel more grown up? What have been the most impactful things for you? Do you have any other examples you've seen that you liked? I'm always interested to see how different people implement a fashion concept with their own lifestyle and wardrobe.
Update: looking back at this about a year later, yow, I really don't think that shorter haircut suited me. But I still stand by all the concepts here even if I don't much like the overall look.

Dodge [1] - ESX3
In 1998, the Dodge ESX2 was introduced to high acclaim. For 2000, Dodge introduces a the next generation: the 2000 ESX3 Concept Vehicle.
In two years, DaimlerChrysler engineers have increased fuel efficiency to 72 miles per gallon (3.3 liters/100 km), improved acceleration and enhanced driveability - while cutting the cost penalty in half, from $15,000 over an Intrepid in 1998 to $7,500 over an Intrepid in 2000.
"A two-mile-per-gallon improvement might not sound like a huge engineering accomplishment, but this car also accelerates faster and provides a smoother, quieter ride while being less aerodynamic than its predecessor, the Dodge Intrepid ESX2," explained Tom Moore, Vice President - DaimlerChrysler Liberty & Technical Affairs. Admittedly, the ESX3 now looks less like a "high-mileage Electric Vehicle" than a normal combustion engined vehicle, which is a good thing.
Much of the driving pleasure is the result of ESX3's unique EMAT (Electro-Mechanical Automatic Transmission) combines two separate clutches in a computer-controlled, six-speed system that provides the shifting smoothness of an automatic transmission with the fuel efficiency of a manual. The EMAT transmission uses two clutches acting in tandem to provide seamless acceleration, with no torque interrupt during shifts. The typical manual transmission is 10 percent more fuel efficient than an automatic transmission.
"The EMAT is a vital link in helping us achieve up to 80 miles per gallon (2.9 liters/100 km)," said Tom Kizer, Director of Advanced Powertrain and Electrical Engineering at DaimlerChrysler Liberty. "All this technology is invisible to the driver, who sees the typical automatic transmission selections of Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive."
The mybrid powertrain, consisting of a three-cylinder, 1.5 liter, all-aluminum direct-injected diesel engine and 15 kilowatt peak power electric motor, advances development of the powertrain in the ESX2.
As in the ESX2, the Dodge ESX3 mybrid powertrain reduces fuel energy use by only relying on the electric motor and battery to capture braking energy and reuse it to power accessories and provide a boost during hard acceleration. For additional fuel savings, the engine automatically shuts off when the vehicle is stopped, and the electric motor instantly restarts the engine when the accelerator pedal is pressed.
At 106 pounds (48 kg), the SAFT lithium-ion battery pack weighs less and is more compact than other battery options while providing more energy. The battery pack is fully integrated with cooling and control systems and is small enough to be installed between the rear seat and trunk, between the rear wheel housings. This provides ample cargo space of 16 cubic feet (450 liters) in the trunk.
Weight savings continue through the rest of the ESX3 powertrain - the engine weighs less than 250 pounds (113 kg), the air-cooled motor just 76 pounds (33 kg). In fact, the mybrid powertrain weighs less than a conventional powertrain that relies on only one combustion engine. In addition to the significant challenge of developing highly fuel efficient cars, PNGV engineers are also working on solutions to further reduce exhaust emissions. While the Dodge ESX3 meets the initial emission targets set by the Partnership in 1993, continued work on low-sulfur and synthetic fuels, new exhaust aftertreatment technologies and cleaner combustion processes is necessary to meet future standards.
Lightweight & Low Cost
The Dodge ESX3 concept car shows you don't have to sacrifice one to achieve another. At only 2,250 pounds (1020 kg), ESX3 takes advantage of DaimlerChrysler's unique injection-molded thermoplastic technology first shown in the fall of 1997 in the four-piece Composite Concept Vehicle (CCV). Keen observers will remember this Citroen "Deux Cheveux" look-alike as a potential 3rd World Country vehicle.
"The main structure of the Dodge ESX3 has only 12 pieces," said Bernard Robertson, Senior Vice President - Engineering Technologies and General Manager - Truck Operations, DaimlerChrysler. "That compares to up to 100 metal pieces in a conventional car.
"But the most impressive technical feat is that we've designed a lightweight body that would cost less than a conventional steel body - and much less than other lightweight material options such as aluminum, titanium or thermoset composites."
The low-cost, lightweight material also helps offset the weight and cost of the "mybrid" powertrain. The body system is estimated to weigh 46 percent less and cost 15 percent less to manufacture than a comparable metal body. A DaimlerChrysler patent is pending on the proprietary mix of thermoplastic, aluminum and lightweight structural foam from which the ESX3 body was designed. The one-of-a-kind concept car was actually built with hand-made thermoset materials that match the properties of the injection-molded thermoplastic design. A combination of aluminum, magnesium, steel and composites create the powertrain and chassis of the Dodge ESX3.
Computer-simulated crash tests show the Dodge ESX3 concept car stands up to all required federal tests. Data gained from actual crashes of CCV prototype vehicles, in temperatures varying from -40 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 100 degrees Celsius), help provide the necessary input to get accurate computer test results.
To give the body its strength, aluminum tubular sections are combined with the injection-molded thermoplastic body sections. This unique body structure is actually stiffer than today's Intrepid and will provide crisp ride and handling characteristics.
"We refer to the thin aluminum sections as the 'sparseframe' to distinguish it from currently available vehicles that simply hang plastic body panels over a conventional, metal spaceframe," explained Larry Oswald, Director - Advanced Body Engineering, DaimlerChrysler Liberty & Technical Affairs.
While the varying types of composites and plastics used in vehicles today are difficult to recycle, Oswald estimates at least 80 percent of the ESX3 could be recycled. That percentage could increase in the future as the market for recycled materials evolves.
Continued testing and improvements in generating a high-gloss surface color without conventional paint are required before complete vehicles are made with the thermoplastic material. DaimlerChrysler is first introducing this new technology on up to 5,000 Jeep® Wrangler hardtops for the 2001 model year.
On the inside of the Dodge ESX3, everything from the seats to the air conditioning system to the glass is optimized for lightweight, efficient performance. The concept uses several unique technologies to avoid temperature extremes so the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can run more efficiently. Solar reflective glass and paint reduce the amount of sunlight and heat that enters the car, so the air conditioning demands are reduced in the summer. The concept car also takes its own temperature when parked, and can turn the fan on to expel hot air and prevent the vehicle from ever reaching extreme temperatures.
Lightweight, aluminum-framed seats take passenger comfort to a new level by either heating or cooling the passenger through the bottom of the seat, as opposed to only blowing hot or cold air out of the instrument panel. Using a new electric heater design, the ventilation system can instantaneously provide heat on a cold day.
These energy-efficient technologies allow the complete HVAC system to be 40 percent lighter than in a conventional mid-size car. "We engineered every aspect of this car with efficiency in mind - and that includes cost efficiency," added Robertson.

Dhaka, Bangladesh
February 14, 2019
9:00am - 4:30pm
Hotel Sarina
In the final two decades of the 20th Century, Bangladesh engaged in research in plant biotechnology, beginning with plant tissue culture. Seeing the potential to improve existing crops against various constraints, research soon continued to genetic transformation. Since then, research to develop genetically engineered (GE) crops has progressed rapidly, both at public and private research institutes, as well as universities. Considering modern biotechnology's potential contribution to enhancing food and nutritional security, management of biotechnology has become a major issue. In light of this, the government of Bangladesh has taken several commendable steps and has developed a regulatory regime through the Biosafety Guidelines (2006), the National Biosafety Framework (2007), the Bangladesh Biosafety Rules (2012), the Guidelines for Food Safety Assessment of GE Foods (2012), and the Environmental Risk Assessment Guidelines for GE Plants (2014).
Currently, many public research institutions, individually or in collaboration with foreign research partners, have been developing GE crops in Bangladesh. One of the successful examples of collaborative research is Bt brinjal, which got approved by the government of Bangladesh on October 30, 2013 for "limited cultivation" in the field. Since 2014, this trait has been cultivated commercially for human consumption, making Bangladesh a pioneer in the arena of GE food crop commercialization. Many other crops are now ready to be assessed or already in the pipeline for performance evaluation. To support such activities, the government of Bangladesh has developed several documents, such as the Standard Operation Protocols (SOPs) for Confined Field Trial, the Data Recording Formats for CFT, and the Manual for Confined Field Trial, etc.
Institutional Biosafety Officers (IBO) need to perform their activities in accordance with these documents. It is therefore crucial to understand these guiding documents and create space to learn from and support each other through collective learning, collaboration, and networking. Against the backdrop of continued developments in both research and regulation for biosafety in Bangladesh, the South Asia Biosafety Program (SABP) arranged a day-long workshop in Dhaka on February 14, 2019 to initiate a collaboration in partnership with the Institutional Biosafety Officers (IBOs) and researchers of relevant institutions involved in GE research in Bangladesh and to establish a network of practitioners who can exchange experiences and knowledge about best practices for ensuring biosafety during the research and development of GE plants. This program was modeled after similar efforts organized by SABP and the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR).
This workshop is featured in the February 2019 edition of the South Asia Biosafety Program Newsletter.

Do you have a family with young children? Would you like to visit Thailand but you are worried about your baby? No problem at all, as Thailand as a "children size" place to visit. Let's have a look at some tips in order to enjoy at best your holiday in Thailand with your entire family, without worries.
Among the destinations to be avoided we should include all regions of southern Thailand. Those part of Thai can be subject to daily attacks. Other areas most at risk, which should be avoided by everyone, especially from those who travel with young children, are those on the border with Malaysia. At the end we can name three provinces: Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. Because of the high rate of violence and crime it is advisable to avoid go on vacation there, in Sutan and in Songkhla.
As for the food, the first thing to note is that the Thai cuisine varies from region to region. Children can eat Som Tum and Padtai. The first dish is a kind of mixed salad typical of the place, prepared with shrimp, peanuts and papaya. The Padtai is the also known as "western spaghetti" , cooked and seasoned with a mix of vegetables, meat and fish. To be avoided foods and drinks bought on the streets.
Prior to departure, or rather before any reservation, you can consult your doctor in order to see if there is some vaccination which can be ideal for your baby. By following those tips, once there, you can just think to enjoy.

Every Wednesday I attend Bible Study Fellowship of BSF. This year we have been studying Moses. Today we were studying Numbers, chapters 11-12 where the Israelites are complaining about their situation. During our lecture time, we were challenged to think about how much we complain. For example…when I go to the grocery store to get something and they happen to be out of it, do I go to the manager to complain? When I am in a restaurant where there is a plethora of choices and I finally decide what I want to order and the server says they are out, Do I moan and groan and complain? Ouch! That was hard to take. God says complaining is a sin. Do I even go a day without complaining? I am having a hard time imagining a day without complaints and I am embarrassed to admit that!
Then as my day went on, this message kept repeating itself to me. My sister-in-law Julie has a friend, Jill who suffered a brain aneurysm today. Thankfully Julie was there at the exact time needed and Jill received the medical care needed in time to save her life. She is someone who has a full life and a lot yet to live. So, please pray for Jill and her continued recovery. Then I heard of someone close to me who may lose his job tomorrow due to some serious negative/backstabbing behavior against him. He is a good, Christian man who lives by his principles and is an amazing role model for our community. I worry about how this will affect his family as well as our church, and our community.
So, as I look at my life, I have much to be grateful for and have NO REASON for complaint. God has no time for complaining and I am going to do my best to stop complaining and hopefully get my kids to stop complaining. I have hung a sign on my bathroom mirror that says STOP COMPLAINING! Won't you join me and ban all complaints in your household too?!
An attitude of gratitude creates blessings.
-Sir John Templeton

Stacie, I so agree with the "no complaining" thing. I don't think I complain but in the last couple of days I have caught myself. I gave up facebook for Lent and have found myself to be much more productive and focused on myself than what is going on in other people's lives.

The Panda Temple facilities are among the cleanest, natural gas-fueled combined-cycle power plants in the United States. These zero-discharge plants also rely heavily on recycled water.
According to Panda Power Funds, Temple I and II will:
The North Texas Council of Governments has forecast that, by 2030, the population of North Texas will grow from 6.6 million to more than 9 million people. This equates to, among other developments drawing electricity, some:
Burgeoning wind generation and solar energy programs in Texas require natural gas-fueled backup generation. The two Panda Temple power plants support the development of additional renewable generation by closing the generating gap caused by sudden drop-offs in renewable energy. They will quickly fill the void when renewable energy output suddenly drops on account of wind dying down or clouds obscuring the sun.
In addition, the Panda Temple plants boast quick-start turbines that quickly ramp up to 50 percent power production in just 30 minutes.

Eric's Ten-Year Itch: Fight Club (Oct. 15, 1999)
(Note: This column contains major spoilers for Fight Club. If you have not seen the movie -- or at least read the book it's based on -- you should do so at once, and then come back and read the column.)
In 2006, in conjunction with its 10th anniversary, the Online Film Critics Society produced a list of the 100 best movies released during the group's decade of existence. We did this by compiling each member's personal top 50 list, then adding up the points. My own No. 1 film was Fight Club, which placed high enough on my colleagues' lists to make it to No. 14 on the group list. I believed it was the best film released between 1996 and 2005. I still feel that way.
Oddly, I did not feel that way when it came out, on Oct. 15, 1999, 10 years ago this week. Oh, my review was glowing. I gave it an A. But less than two months later, when I compiled my top 10 list for 1999, Fight Club only ranked seventh. I was too promiscuous with my A grades in those days, giving them to B+ and A- films like The Sixth Sense and American Beauty and thus diluting the power of true Grade-A films like Fight Club.
The problem was that my enjoyment of Fight Club was shallow, which my review clearly demonstrates. While I acknowledged that the film was "about" much more than the fight club itself, I barely discussed what those things were. I was caught up in the film purely as entertainment -- funny, offbeat, and with a great twist ending. (I am a sucker for a great twist ending.) I loved the visual style. All of those things are important, but they barely scratch the surface of the film's much deeper and more complex ideas, which I didn't come to fully appreciate until later.
(My review also described Edward Norton as "Oscar-worthy." Bleh. I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, but that overused movie-critic cliche makes me grimace.)
Latest Entertainment Videos
After further reflection and a few more viewings over the last decade, I'm in awe at how Fight Club, directed by David Fincher and based on Chuck Palahniuk's novel, manages to cover multiple complicated themes simultaneously. At its most basic, it's about male friendship. Our nameless narrator (Edward Norton) is bored, depressed, and lonely until he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a whirlwind of a man who helps restore his joie de vivre. This is accomplished not just through the underground fight club, which lets men explore the primal instincts usually tamped down by society, but through a general disassembling of all the things the narrator has been told he's "supposed" to do. Who needs a fancy condo when you can live in an abandoned house on the outskirts of town? Who needs a regular job when you can make soap out of liposuctioned fat and sell it to boutiques?
The narrator and Tyler become inseparable friends, though it is clear the narrator needs Tyler much more than Tyler needs him. Their affinity for one another is strictly platonic and heterosexual, yet underneath it is a truth that many men find uncomfortable: the love we have for our friends is often similar to the love we have for our lovers. The narrator is jealous when Tyler spends too much time with his girlfriend, Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), or with the other guys in their expanding circle of fight club buddies. The narrator wants Tyler for himself -- not a rational feeling, really, but an honest one, and one that many perfectly straight men have felt at some point. It has nothing to do with sexual attraction but with the natural desire for fraternity and acceptance.
But of course what we eventually learn is that Tyler doesn't exist at all: He is a figment of the narrator's imagination, a separate personality. This makes perfect sense in hindsight; the second time I watched the film, I was shocked by how many blatant clues there were to this fact, including the narrator saying of some piece of information, "I know this because Tyler knows this." Well, duh. Tyler does all the things the narrator wants to do but feels like he can't. Tyler is the Id to the narrator's Superego. (He's a physically ideal specimen, too. I mean, if you were going to imagine a better version of yourself, wouldn't he look like Brad Pitt?) Separately, neither character is a whole person. Together, they are.
This means the film is also about an even more uncomfortable subject: the fact that all men have a side of themselves that is weaker and more "feminine" than the side they like to project. Whichever person you think is better, Tyler or the narrator, it doesn't matter -- you have 'em both inside of you. Most of us combine those elements (and elements of other "characters") into one fully formed personality, and that's who we are. A little bit of Tyler Durden is good. We all need some Narrator, too. It's when you're entirely one or entirely the other that there's trouble.
Fight Club is a bona fide cult classic and is often voted one of the best "guy movies" ever made. It's a movie for manly men, like The Magnificent Seven or Die Hard. We feel like women don't "get" the movie the way we do. It's just for us. And yet the film deeply addresses the topics of masculinity and homosocial relationships -- subjects most "manly men" normally avoid like the plague, especially in entertainment -- and was based on a book written by a gay man. You'd think men would be made uncomfortable by the movie, and yet they love and embrace it. Tyler Durden, who liked to splice single pornographic frames into family movies, would be pleased that a film this subversive would gain such widespread popularity.
Fight Club
1999 Eric says: Director David Fincher takes us on a twisted journey through the male psyche, full of flashbacks, freeze-frames, and eye-catching cinematography. Jim Uhls's screenplay (based on Chuck Palahniuk's novel) is clever and witty. There is delicious, ironic humor in Edward Norton's detached narrations, and the movie is undeniably funny -- up until the last half-hour or so, when things get REALLY weird. It's a compelling, entertaining film. Even when it's nihilistic, pessimistic and macabre, it's still eminently watchable and profound. Grade: A
2009 Eric says: Few films have examined -- I mean really examined -- modern masculinity and the nature of male friendships as astutely, humorously, and alarmingly as Fight Club does. The film is enjoyable as a darkly funny story about an underground fight club, but is also deeply rewarding as a look at the way men relate to one another, and at how the male brain works. It helps that David Fincher is the perfect match for author Chuck Palahniuk, their nihilistic visions of the world complementing each other the way few novelist/filmmaker teams have. Grade: A

Labels do not only serve as "the muted salesperson" of the products, they also help make your products look premium and attractive to the customers. This method is very popular among consumer products, eg. food, drinks, cosmetics, household products and appliances, etc.
Shrink Films or Sleeve Labels are named after their characteristics in which they will shrink when exposed to heat. They are made of plastic which molecules are orderly arranged during the film production. You can easily roll the film into a cylinder shape and then loosely cover it on the product. Then, heat the product with blow dryer or hot tunnel, depending on the size of the product and how fast you want the shrinking process to be. Finally, the film will shrink and fit to the product.
The prominent characteristics of Shrink Sleeve Labels are that they are able to shrink and fit to any kind of material, whether it is metal, glass, or plastic. Because shrink films support text and photo printing with variety of color options, products with shrink sleeve labels will look outstanding and attractive to customers.

Okay folks.
So I'll be honest. Because I am always very honest. Sometimes TOO honest, ha ha.
I haven't done squat in my scraproom all week. My hubby was out of town last week and this week for 8 days total and well, I've been too busy watching this little boy
play on this
and just hanging outside in general, enjoying the Summer.
I love playing with my son.
Kids are only little once so I want to spend as much time with him as I can and right now, I feel it's pretty important.
He starts his second year of preschool in two weeks and then maybe I'll have some time to devote to scrapping :)
Until then, see you and have a great end of Summer!!

This book has been delayed due to a threatened lawsuit over trademark infringement by Paradox Entertainment. The volume's publication is re-scheduled for a date to be announced in 2010. The content of the book includes a number of Howard heroes and stories other than Conan. Here are the details:
Conan's Brethren: The Complete Collection
Robert E. Howard was a pulpwriter who turned his hand to everything from historical adventure and detective stories to Western and boxing fiction – and invented the genre now known as sword-and-sorcery: it is for these tales of heroic fantasy and horror that he is best remembered. In the pages of Weird Tales and other pulp magazines his mighty heroes — the vengeful Puritan swashbuckler Solomon Kane, Kull, King of Atlantis, Bran Mak Morn, the last chieftain of the Picts, followed later by Conan the Cimmerian and many others. Following on from the success of The Complete Conan, this companion volume will contain Robert E. Howard stories featuring Conan's brothers-in-arms, collected together in chronological order, as fresh and atmospheric today as when they were first published in the pulp magazines of more than eighty years ago. Compiled by and with an Afterword by award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones, and with cover image, frontispiece and internal pictures by the award-winning artist Les Edwards.

Friday, 22nd April was my wedding anniversary. Sunday, 24th April was my birthday. there was a birthday gift sent to me on Saturday's afternoon but since i wasn't at home, i couldn't get it on time. they've planned it quite well & i'm truly touched for their thoughts...
last Sunday's evening, my hubby treated me with a special lunch at Seri Bidara near Flaming Steamboat. the seats were quite full although it was already passed 2.30 pm. it was a self service restaurant, so we took whatever pleased to the eyes. well, we were kind of hungry.
after that, we went to the Sunway Pyramid. since we couldn't watch Rio or Source Code at GSC the day before (Saturday), so we've planned to watch Rio at TGV. we couldn't get the tickets for the 3.20 pm show as it was kind of full... so we bought 2 tickets for the 5.30 pm show instead.
while waiting for the show to start, we went to the nearest A&W restaurant to have a drink & talked about a lot of things. around 5.20 pm, we went straight to the cinema. lots of my FB friends suggest us to watch Rio; my sisters too. the reason why i wanted to watch it so much. Rio is indeed fun! if you love animated movie, then you should go & watch Rio! :D
yesterday's morning i went to the nearest Pos Laju office to get my parcel. i don't know who's the sender & what's inside. i was indeed anxious with all kinds of thoughts. i've a little bit idea of the sender but i'm just not quite sure till i see it with my very own eyes. when i saw the sender's name, i was like, "they've got me!". when i opened the gift wrapped & saw what's inside, i couldn't stopped myself & cried... i can't even express how i feel but it was indeed a very touching moment...
A picture is worth a thousand words - Unknown

This week in R Club
Today we'll start with a consultation:
I am running some machine learning "decoding" analyses on EEG data, and am trying to figure out the best way to assess these effects using statistical tests. Each subject produces something similar to a correlation matrix (confusion matrix), and I need to figure out what statistical test will be appropriate considering the non-independence of the observations.
Then we'll move on to machine learning in R. Last week we compiled a bunch of learning resources. This week we'll come up with a plan for traversing this stuff, and begin!

Happy Monday! I am enjoying a very sunny day in my pretty city....just waiting for the winter to really set in. I am just about to take a bike ride with my dad, because yes, my friends do mostly consist of people who qualify for social security.....
I am an old soul and my best friends are busy tending and making babies, so I make do with my social situation. BTW, when my dad is great company (and not a moody inflexible curmudgeon who has the same reasoning as Larry David which happens sometimes, too) he reminds me of Crush, not in a creepy way, just that they are both pretty awesome guys who are tender with good hearts.
Blah blah blah, back to the products!
I believe in high and low. Get a dress from TJ Maxx, but pair it with an incredible pair of shoes. It's kinda like sweet and salty. Everything awesome is awesome because it's a bit out of the box.
That's how I feel about my beauty routine if you haven't noticed....use the super duper pricey Clarisonic with the $5.00 face wash....balance is the key to EVERYTHING in life I have slowly found.
I am a product adventurer. No better happiness is found than when I get my hands on something I have never used before and it actually is awesome. Double bonus points and rainbows if it is not expensive.
1. Oil of Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti Aging Detoxifying Pore Scrub: (I dare you to say it 3 times fast....what a LONG name!!!!):
I love me a little exfoliation, but standard exfoliates are often harsh on my skin and leave me with red and ruddy cheeks. Enter this little gem. I use this every other day or so in the morning to look fresh faced. As I get older, my skin can handle a lot less harassment (picking pimples leads to scars...BAH!), so you may be able to use this every day, it's quite gentle. I like to use my Basis face wash first and then "polish" with this.
Little secret? When I use this, I actually cleanse with my fingers for the face wash step with the Basis and then follow up with this on the Clarisonic. Angels sing my face looks so smooth. Try it. You're welcome!
2. Not Your Mothers Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo:
Dry shampoo has changed my life. I can actually not wash my hair everyday now that I found it. This as well as a few other holy grail hair products I have found (WHICH I WILL SHARE IN A POST COMING SOON) have allowed me to seriously have pretty great locks without spending hours taming them.
Years ago, when I was in college, I used to spend 3.5 hours a day blowdrying and flat ironing my hair. My dear friend, the super smart one who also made me go see the clairvoyant, had the good sense to encourage me to embrace my wavy hair as "what was the point in straightening your hair if it only gets wavy when you go outside in the humidity?" And duh. Sometimes I don't get the obvious. Wavy hair is sexy hair anyway. So back to the dry shampoo....
Well, dry shampoo can be expensive. Before it really trended, it was ONLY $25.00 and could be found at Sephora when it wasn't sold out and I still bought it because if you haven't tried it, you will see, you get volume for days and washing hair is annoying and time consuming and boring.....this little prize also smells dreamy, like coconut and vanilla, and works as well or even better than the brands that cost 4 times as much.
I had never heard of this brand, Not Your Mothers, but one Friday night when I was hanging out with one of my best friends who happens to be 17 and I used to nanny for when I was in high school....yes, I am a person who hangs out with 17 year olds and 64 year olds and no one actually born in their own birth decade......we went to Target after eating Chipotle and bought a bunch of toiletries. This was one of my purchases and I haven't been without it since.
Here is how I use it:
1. Spray roots UNDERNEATH front layers of hair (I get super greasy here) and then a few inches down from my part.
2. Let sit for 1-2 minutes and imagine how hot I will look with white hair (the shampoo sprays on white).
3. Blast the powered wig (my hair) with a blowdryer for 2 minutes or so, working the powder in with a brush, comb, or your fingers.
4. Restyle with my curling iron for 3 minutes.
5. Leave the bathroom.
3. Colgate Optic White Toothpaste
I still wear my retainer. I got my braces off when I was 12. Once, in college, I was a victim of crime (along with a few other of my friends). The crazy girl we were friends with (she disappeared between sophomore and junior year and was recently met up with by smarty best friend (yes, the one who encourages clairvoyants and wavy hair) and smarty went to meet her for coffee and reported that "she still seemed kinda off and they didn't have much to chat about"....I was selfishly relieved....this loon was a whole breed of whack) got her car broken into and several of us had stuff in there. I lost many things (books, homework, makeup), but the real violation set in when I realized that my purple sparkle retainer was missing. I mean, Sparkles and me endured so much together....camp, late night drunk Cheetos, bar and bat mitzvahs....it's NOT FAIR!!!!! WHAAAAAAH!
So yes, I am into my teeth. I floss, too. I try to keep them white and bright and now that I don't smoke or drink 14 diet colas (or Diet Dr. Peppers specifically) a day, it has been a bit easier.
This toothpaste is wonderful. I swear it works. My teeth haven't looked so pearly since Clinton was president. It is a total steal. I use an electronic toothbrush for maximum cleaning power. I like the ones you can throw out if you are too lazy to put more batteries in them.
When I was last with Crush, I was using my Clarisonic while I used my electronic tooth brush and he said "look at you, you have such great personal hygiene, but you rely a lot on machines...." I mean, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
So true, because I'm LAAAAAAZZZZZZY!
Have a great day all!

Bolivien ist stark vom Klimawandel betroffen, dies zeigt sich besonders deutlich an den Wetterextremen El Niño und La Niña, die für Dürren, Überschwemmungen und Verwüstungen sorgen. Ebenso beeinträchtigen steigende Temperaturen das Leben der Menschen, von denen ein Großteil in der Subsistenzwirtschaft tätig ist. Paulina Pally, von der Sie hier mehr erfahren können, ist seit mehr als zehn Jahren für die Vesorgung ihrer Familie zuständig.
Paulina - A Bolivian Woman
Paulina Pally is member of a women's organization in Cochi Piacala, located in El Choro (Oruro, Bolivia). She finished high school in the city of Oruro. Since she was the only woman in her family, she had no chance to study, but had to return to her community. Although she was very young, she was in charge of all the duties at home including the agricultural production and the cattle. For more than ten years, Paulina dedicated all her time and energy to these activities. However, her recent contact with a women's organization in her community has allowed her to receive information, develop other abilities and to become a leader.
As a consequence of her experience in agriculture, Paulina understands the impacts of climate change in her community. She commented that, "The temperature has risen a lot and the people in the village are not used to it. Mosquitoes have appeared in the rainy season which is not usual in the altiplanic region. The problem is that these mosquitoes are not only bad for our people; they also attack our lambs and make their wool fall out. We try to take care of our lambs with some special herbs but we cannot totally avoid the problem. Some professionals have told us to use chemical products. But we do not like this idea and we are afraid that they could cause more harm because we also eat our lamb's meat".
Paulina also says that, "With the women's organization we have begun to sow some new vegetables like lettuce. Nevertheless, either the production is too low or the vegetables are too small, like some onions we tried to harvest. We believe that this is because we do not have enough water for the irrigation and we also have realized that it is essential to look for fertile soil. A petroleum spill that occurred some years ago caused a lot of damage and some places are no longer fertile... Anyway, we decided to consider all these aspects and still try to produce different vegetables".

Per Dana White, via Anthony Lima, the rumoured bout between Robbie Lawler and Donald Cerrone is set. 'Cowboy' has teased a huge match in the works for UFC 205 but has stopped just shy of confirming who the big opponent was.
For some time talk was that it was former welterweight champion, 'Ruthless' Robbie Lawler. This was an appealing prospect and the fan base have eagerly awaited further details. Well now we know that the fight has been signed for the first UFC event in New York.
The historical event was always going to be an exciting card, this early addition is certainly that. This is a fight that has MMA fans salivating.
Donald Cerrone is quickly becoming one of the biggest stars in the sport. His popularity is increasing ten fold after every stunning knockout he performs at 170 pounds.
His fights have been at lightweight in the past despite his struggle to cut down to 155. Since moving up in weight, he has been on an absolute tear. One only needs to look at his knockout over Rick Story to see what he is capable of at welterweight.
Robbie Lawler has delivered two of the best battles in welterweight history. His title defence against Carlos Condit and the second bout against Rory MacDonald were both instant classics. Lawler repeatedly earns his Fight of the Night bonus.
The two of them together could make for another Fight of the Year candidate just like Lawler/MacDonald 2.
