Rosemary essential oil has powerful benefits for headaches, joint pain, hair regrowth and scalp and follicle health, and relief from congestion, according to anecdotal evidence. Ayurvedic practitioners have been using rosemary for centuries to help others. Rosemary essential oil has the aromatic fragrance of the rosemary herb, but with much greater potency and power. You can unleash the power of rosemary essential oil by incorporating it into your homemade products. First, though, it helps to understand a little bit about rosemary essential oil, and its history.
The Origin and Source of Rosemary Essential Oil
The rosemary plant is actually a member of the mint family. It is a perennial herb, and grows wild and abundant on the hillsides in the Mediterranean. You are probably familiar with the fresh rosemary needles that you can buy in the supermarket to use in your cooking. However, rosemary essential oil is completely different. The rosemary oil is sourced from the flowers that bloom on the shrub. Each year in the spring, wild and farmed rosemary bushes sprout a breathtaking array of tiny variegated, sky blue flowers. These petals contain the essential oil that is harvested for use in skincare products and other products. The needles, flowers and essential oil of rosemary all bear the rich fragrance of a pine forest.
Characteristics of Rosemary Essential Oil
The fragrance of rosemary essential oil is fresh, woodsy, and reminiscent of pine, with velvety undertones. Rosemary essential oil is nicely complemented with geranium oil, frankincense and sage oil, either separately or all together. Its herbaceous scent also pairs well with lemongrassand peppermint essential oils.
When used in aromatherapy, rosemary essential oil is said to provide stress relief and to induce a sense of calm.
In addition to its aromatic features, rosemary essential oil appears to have some analgesic properties that some people find useful for treating headaches, tension, indigestion and congestion.
Using Rosemary Essential Oil at Home
Rosemary essential oil makes a fine addition to household cleaners. It leaves behind an enjoyable natural pine scent that is similar to being out in nature. You can also try using rosemary essential oil as an ingredient in lotions for relieving the symptoms of pain and discomfort.
Use for Relief of Congestion
One simple way to use rosemary essential oil is to relief the symptoms of congestion. Simply apply 2 or 3 drops of rosemary essential oil on a warm, moist washcloth. Apply as a compress to the chest area, where the aroma can rise and give comfort to the ailing person.
Use in Household Cleaner
A few drops of rosemary essential oil in your bucket of washing water will allow you to clean the house and leave behind that fresh pine scent without the expense and hassle of using harsh chemicals.
When you blend rosemary essential oil with other essential oils, you will find even more uses for this powerful gift from nature.
Would you write more about how to use Rosemary oil for migraine and other severe headaches? Should we ingest this oil in other oils, in water? Or just use as aromatherapy or apply to head? My daughter has severe headaches. I bought some rosemary oil a while back, but can't find any detailed information on how best to use it.

GG World Lottery, a unique platform of its kind is extending the entirely online, transparent and open-to-all blockchain platform to government-backed lotteries in Africa. This is the first time that such an efficient and transparent national lottery set-up has been established in the region.
The global lottery industry has generated over $273 billion in ticket sales during the last year. While lotteries continue to grow in emerging markets, even the most mature lotteries have seen sales stagnate and even drop as they fail to adopt modern technologies, marketing tactics and top-notch software. To fill this gap, GG World Lottery is successfully tapping into the unlimited potential of blockchain-based technologies and delivering unparalleled securities. The team is creating multiple African lotteries which are mobile friendly, regulated, and online-based.
Behind the Online Lotteries Market in Africa
The GG World Lottery is a first-of-a-kind blockchain platform offering lottery solutions to a range of players including the government backed ones. The platform has already gained required licenses in various jurisdictions along with signed NDAs and more. The platform has plans to include a number of lottery programs and expand its footprint in the African continent. In order to see through the plan, the company has already partnered with official regulatory entities in the region.
Now, the Question Is Why Africa?
Well, you will be surprised to know that Africa presents a huge growth potential in terms of economy, irrespective of the global recession. Africa is expected to register about a $1 trillion rise in GDP by 2025 and the labor force is going to be the biggest by 2040. In terms of mobile usage, 90 percent of the population in top 15 most developed African countries, have access to mobile making Africa as one of the fastest expanding mobile phone markets in the world. Moreover, the CEO of GG International, Mark Hutchinson is an industry expert with over 35 years of experience in the field and one of the leading authorities in emerging markets, especially Africa.
GG World Lotto to Go Global
The expansion of GG World lottery is not limited to Africa. The company acquired 12 non-disclosure agreements with diverse official regulators in different African countries. All of them are contributing in the project's plan to create stronger and more appreciated jackpots that would increase the dividends payout to every token holder. Moreover, GG World has also got 17 licenses from twelve countries who are highly interested to run their proprietary software. These countries will also allow the project to run their in-house developed scratch cards, slot games, sportsbooks, casinos, and others of the kind. The project will be implementing GG World Lottery Tickets on all national lottery websites. This will enable players to participate directly from web pages they are already familiar with.
The Next Level of Transparency and Regulation
The project ensures unparalleled transparency since it is based on blockchain-based technology. Apart from being 100% transparent, the platform will also be monitored, and be certified by Gaming Laboratories International – a world-class gaming certification business. There is no risk of shut downs by governments as they will be sanctioned and regulated by them. Profits will be comprehensively shared with the jurisdictions which allow the lotteries to operate.
GG World Lottery also holds a philanthropic side, especially for African countries. It is clearly reflected in the fact that the portion of the profits generated will be donated to charities, a lot of which are intended to help develop under-served territories.
What's Next?
GG World's legal team has strictly been following the KYC whitelisting procedure. Investors are advised to through the features and make the most of the ongoing pre-sale!

The Parish Church of SS Peter and Paul is the most dominant as well as the oldest building in the town.
The chancel is in the Early Decorated style of about 1300, the remainder mostly being Perpendicular 1450-1500.
The tower and spire are particularly fine examples of this period with a combined height of 180 feet.
There is a splendid peal of twelve bells, with special shutters to the belfry openings, which can be closed to reduce sound volume during practice.
Three of the original bells were cast by Thomas Eayre of the famous family of Kettering bellfounders whose craft was commemorated in the name of Bellfoundry Lane.
It's good.

I promised last time that I'll be starting on putting the bottom panel together next, and I am, but I'm afraid there's quite a bit of prep work to do before I can start any actual embroidery.
Firstly, damp stretching the various sheets of flowers. If you've been following the blog for a while you'll know that I prefer to damp stretch rather than iron embroidery; it gives a much smoother finish, I can control any reshaping that might be necessary much easier, and there's no risk of accidentally scorching the fabric.
Here are all the sheets, together for the first time:
Happily, there's no pulling or puckering around the embroidery, but as you can see, the fabric's slightly rippled, and I want it to be nice and flat. So, after a an hour or two of careful pinning onto a cork board, here they all are stretched taught:
I then lightly sprayed them with a plant mister, and left them overnight to dry. And the result? Beautifully smooth, absolutely flat embroidery:
Next, I need to get the bottom panel itself ready.

How did the Spread Eagle Hotel's SMS Landing Page work?
About a week before the Melbourne Cup, the hotel sent its members a personalised text message with a link to the SMS Landing Page. The landing page was built with attractive graphics and contained all the information including time, ticket price and what was included for the day; with a clear call-to-action button that took the users to their online booking system where they could make a booking straight away.
The results were fantastic, with bookings coming through almost instantly. What started as a trial with no expectation quickly became a pleasant surprise.
SMS Landing pages have a more personal and emotive touch, stimulating recipients to take action right then and there. The call-to-action buttons also make it very easy for people to act on the request, contributing to a great conversion rate.

The Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has called for a meeting with Intelligent Mobility Solutions, the company that has been engaged to manage the speed camera system regarding the possibility of waiving off fines slapped on motorists.
RTSA Chief Executive Officer Zindaba Soko says the meeting which is due to take place on Monday will discuss modalities and iron out concerns by the public.
Mr. Soko admits that the rolling out of the speed cameras was done amidst improper and lack of signage on the roads which the institution will seek to correct going forward.
He says the road agency has since started putting up all the necessary road signage on roads that have speed cameras.
Mr. Soko adds that speed limits on selected sections of roads such as Lusaka's Great East and Kafue Roads will be upgraded from the average 60 to 80 kilometers per hour.
And Mr. Soko says RTSA may consider reducing the 300 Kwacha speed fine once it carries out a motor vehicle census, an activity which he says has already started.
He has revealed that the Road Safety ACT requires that a census is conducted every 10 years and that no census has been done since independence.
Mr. Soko has told ZNBC News in a telephone interview that the country has 7-hundred and 65-thousand vehicles and that only half are registered with RTSA.
He said this makes it difficult for the agency to re-look at some fines and systems that members of the public are complaining about.

Nice, George! Been waiting for this since you made Direct Messenger for iPhone: "Any plans for a Web version? I use messenger.com a ton now, and really would love similar for Twitter. Their DM experience on Web is even worse than mobile." https://www.producthunt.com/tech... I do wonder how/much I'll use this. I've noticed I often like going to Messenger.com for FB because 1) FB takes too long to load, and 2) I'm often initiating a conversation, for which a full-blown messaging experience is better. However Twitter 1) doesn't take too long to load, so I don't mind using Twitter.com for DMs, and 2) I often am using DMs via using the "Share Tweet via DM" feature. That said, maybe this will now allow me to message with Twitter more, so it could change my habits. Either way I'm excited. Nitpick: Messenger.com is a Facebook-owned property (possibly trademarked?). And the name of the product is Direct Messenger. This should be called "Direct Messenger for Web - The best unofficial Twitter DM client, now for Web" or something like that.
@thetylerhayes - My experience with messenger.com is similar to yours except I find myself starting conversations on facebook.com and then carrying them on in a dedicated tab I have open for messenger. Same with DM for the Web - I start conversations from my timeline but carry them on at directmessenger.com - and I definitely like using stickers. As for Twitter's DM on the web - I can't stand the UX - they've made a few minimal changes in the past months however it's still not a great experience in my opinion. Maybe if all you want to do is send a quick message to someone it's fine - but for longer form content an immersive experience trumps the current offering any day. Although maybe people only use direct messages for short conversations anyways…

Click the "Start" button and select "Computer."
Double-click the USB flash drive to open it.
Locate the M4V file or files you want to watch on your PS3.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announced on Friday that all restrictions on summer and youth camps in Floriday will be lifted, effective immediately.
"Our kids have been out of organized activities for a couple months now," DeSantis said on Friday in Jacksonville. "We need to have a pathway to get it back." The governor did say that the Florida Department of Health would likely post a list of best practices to its website and that local leadership will be allowed to make independent decisions.
"We believe that this makes sense based on the data and observed experience. We are not going to be instituting a lot of rules, or really any rules," DeSantis said. "At the end of the day, we trust parents to be able to make decisions in conjunction with physicians."
Broward and Miami-Dade officials remain cautious. Broward County Spokesperson Margaret Stapleton reiterated that the county is "not offering any youth sports or summer camps at this time," but "Parks and Recreation staff is assessing how programming can resume, with adherence to the requirements for social distancing, facial covering and sanitation." Miami-Dade had a similar response: "We do not have a timetable as yet for any openings," said Miami-Dade spokesperson Myriam Marquez.
State pediatric authorities are also in disagreement about reopening summer camps — famous for their crowded throngs of children and lack of showering — so soon. "We still don't know enough about the disease," said Dr. Bruce Peters, a professor at the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine at Nova Southeastern University. "We don't even have a vaccine. It's way too early."
But Dr. Bonnie White, a pediatrician who attended DeSantis's announcement, asserted that it was more important for children to "be able to laugh with their friends," and parents should simply practice due diligence, keeping their kids from the activities if they are sick.
Camps across Florida are looking carefully at how to manage reopening activities for children amid the global pandemic. Many are cutting enrollment in half, restricting larger group activities, and removing field trips from the schedule. "We are still assessing the issue and have not made a final determination yet," said Kevin Pickard, director of the City of Sunrise Leisure Services.
"In addition to the risks associated with COVID-19, the lack of school sites is a major concern for us. We would have to substantially lower our registration numbers if the determination is made to continue on with a camp program," he added.
Many parents remain skeptical. "I will absolutely not send my child to a camp this year," Mayte Arteta-Martinez of Hollywood told Fox. "I do not feel it is safe because children do not understand the concepts of social distance, nor do I believe camp counselors/teachers are willing to take the time to constantly be watching over them to keep these parameters."

She would like to be able to meet at least a few other solo travellers. Maximum budget: R20 000.The travel agent:Diana Pengelly from Harvey World Travel, Morningside suggested a number of trips, including detailed itineraries of tours to Thailand, Morocco, India and Finland. She highly recommended using a tour operator, as she explained that on average each group would be roughly 60% solo travellers.The Morocco tour seemed to answer my requirements the best.

Most trips have fixed dates, and I had a hard time identifying the trips that left in February.Eventually, I found a trip that more or less suited my budget to Colombo for R19 880 for eight days. However, when I tried to book, it turned out there was a R9 750 single supplement. This would leave me way over my budget. The trip was also shorter with less activities planned.I tried visiting the tour operator website myself, but had a hard time finding the right tour for me. All the itineraries were also priced in dollars and pounds.

The period between 1974 and 2004 tends to be dismissed by Mopar fans, being free of high-power rear-drive muscle cars, but it wasn't just an empty space between the 340 and the 5.7 Hemi. Indeed, 1977 wasn't a bad year for Chrysler, all things considered; the prior year had been disastrous, but now production was moving up, and the Volare/Aspen were starting to overcome their incredible quality problems.
Even at the time, Chrysler was working on a revolution in its product line which would result in some remarkable successes. It was also still drag racing its "missile" cars — in 1977, these modified Volares.
Chrysler's United States market share for cars was 13% in 1977 the lowest share the Corporation had held since 1963. Plymouth and Dodge each held a 5% share — far behind Chevrolet's dominant 25%. The company's share had been 15% just one year earlier.
Plymouth outsold Dodge, 458,717 to 406,683, though Dodge had two exclusive models (the Charger SE and Diplomat). Chrysler's mainstay was the relatively low-priced Cordoba, which yielded a Chrysler-total of 336,520 cars sold in the US.
Sunning rust issues on the Volare/Aspen brought the company to use a far more effective, "seven-stage" autophretic coating system starting in mid-1976. Parts were spray-cleaned and dipped, rinsed with recirculating and fresh water (both standard and de-ionized), then given an autophoretic chemical coating; after that they were dip-rinsed, given an autophoretic reaction rinse, dried in an oven at 220° F for 5-10 minutes, and cured at 275° F for five minutes. This process used less energy than asphalt-based rustproofing, cut fire hazards and pollutants, and was more effective; and Chrysler was the first domestic automaker to use it.
Engineers released a torque converter with a 20% larger torus for the TorqueFlite automatics, reducing slippage.
A new, efficient, miniature catalytic converter system was used on California-based six cylinder cars; its platinum catalyst was set up in a ceramic honey-comb monolith, wrapped in stainless steel mesh, and mounted in a stainless steel shell. An addition to the standard catalysts, they were placed very close to the engine for higher effectiveness.
A new three-way catalyst was used on Super Six models for California, to cut NOx, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide in both lean and rich mixtures.
1977 started a new wiring terminal system, with new female terminals and locking insulators, to reduce electrical problems. All cars also got a new double-contact starter relay, for more reliable cold weather starts; and an automated headlamp-aim testing system at the factory. Electronic ignition was still standard.
Batteries were upgraded on slant six and 318 engines, with higher amperage (as a running change). The new batteries were smaller, weighed six pounds less, and had better cell connectors and vibration protection.
Weight reduction efforts brought lighter-weight materials; the four-speed manual transmission in other cars was 33 pounds lighter, thanks to an aluminum case, shift cover, and extension material (in addition, finer pitch gears made it quieter, and a reverse interlock was added.) All these changes could drop the weight of a car by a hundred pounds.
The Volare was the dominant car for Chrysler Corporation. In its second year, 139,865 base models were sold in the US — plus 112,514 Premiers and 75,360 Customs. The next best seller was its twin, the Dodge Aspen, with 109,674 base Dodges, 66,844 Customs, and 89,494 Special Editions. The closely related Diplomat added over 30,000 more, and the also-related leBaron added another 45,000 or so. The next best seller was the next smallest car sold by Chrysler — the Cordoba, with 163,138 sales.
The Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen had the usual Mopar unitized body, torsion bar front suspension, and leaf-spring rear suspension. There were three models, a four door sedan, four door wagon, and two door coupe. The cabin was a major upgrade from the old Valiant, and the body absorbed more vibrations and noise. All rear-drive Mopars of 1977 used a rubber piece between the spring perch for the leaf-springs and the frame, to cut vibrations; it was dubbed "Iso-Clamp."
The Volare and Aspen were powered by the 225 Slant Six and the 318 and 360 LA V8s, running only on unleaded fuel (a rumored "regular fuel" option for the 1976-77 318/automatic, substituting an air pump for the catalyst, could not be verified). The 360 engine was available with the bulletproof 727 transmission. Dual exhausts were not an option, because there was no room for the extra pipe.
The E85 edition, aimed at the police, had the 360 four-barrel, with roller chain, upgraded rings and valves, better cooled heads, orange silicone-rubber head gaskets, and other durability features. It had 230 horsepower at 4,400 rpm and 300 lb-ft at 3,600 rpm.
The big news for 1977 was the Super Six option, which was much more responsive than the standard slant six (see the engines section, below).
The 1977 Volare was identical to the 1976 in all visible aspects other than VIN code, but had numerous quality improvements. By the end of 1977, the Volare was, if anything, a better car than its competitors — but the damage had been done.
Lanny Knutson wrote in the Plymouth Bulletin (reprinted by permission):
For 1977, the Plymouth Fury had minor styling alterations. Most notable were the latest fashion, rectangular quad headlights mounted in the already squared front fenders.
The grille texture and tail-light design were also changed, the coupe's backup lights were moved from the tail lamps to the bumper and the opera windows were changed from a dual to a single pane appearance. Amber turn signals were also introduced.
With General Motors downsizing all its "full-sized" cars to mid-size dimensions, the handwriting was on the wall for all land yachts, including the Gran Fury. Bowing out at the end of the 1977 model year, the big Fury spent its final season with with just two trim levels, basic and Brougham/Sport Suburban, and no other changes. Still, the 1977 Gran Fury outsold its 1976 edition, 47,552 to 39,510.

Still, the 1977 Gran Fury outsold its 1976 edition, 47,552 to 39,510.
The Gran Fury was, simply, the old, full-sized Fury. The "plain Fury" was an intermediate sized B-body car.
The Aspen continued as the Dodge version of the Volare. The Diplomat, a higher-end car based closely on the Aspen, launched this year; it had nearly the same mechanicals except for a base four-speed manual transmission instead of a three speed. Leather was optional, as was woodgrain trim for the sides, and the body was slightly longer than the Volare/Aspen.
The Dodge Monaco was a twin to the Fury, with standard power brakes, color keyed carpeting, day/night mirror, and radial tires. The Monaco Brougham was the ritzy version. Engines went from the slant six to 440 V8. The Royal Monaco was, in essence, the prior Monaco — a full sized C body similar to Gran Fury.
The Charger SE imitated the Chrysler Cordoba so precisely one wondered if they thought about sharing nameplates as well as sheet metal. Changes included bucket seats with thinner backs to increase passenger space, new colors, door-mounted courtesy lights, and recessed armrests. Every V8 was available, but the 318 went from a 3.2:1 rear axle to an economy 2.7:1 axle, raising gas mileage while cutting acceleration. T-bar roof and power sunroof were optional. The main difference between Charger and Cordoba was the performance suspension, which greatly increased cornering ability.
The Charger SE had a huge amount of standard equipment, and, in 1977, it was good for a little over 36,000 sales, around one third that of 1968 — but around the same as 1966 and far better than 1967.
On every model, Chrysler cars had power front disc brakes and a TorqueFlite automatic transmission.
New to the Chrysler line was a Volare-based Chrysler LeBaron — the first Chrysler ever to be based on the smallest car in the corporation's domestic portfolio (even going back to 1924). It was similar under the skin to F-body Volare and Aspen, but had a more upscale look, inside and out. Chrysler always had the best seller in this grouping of cars.
While the LeBaron helped increase Chrysler sales, the big seller was the Cordoba. A small step up in wheelbase, but a big step in luxury feel, many changes took place under the Cordoba's skin in the name of saving weight. The wheelbase was a modest 115 inches, not much more than the "compacts;" but the B-body ride was far smoother.
For 1977, Cordoba added a chrome-plated grille, eight new body colors, new tail light lenses, deck lid lock cover and medallion, black and white checked cloth-and-vinyl seat covers, fifteen-inch glass-belt radials, a higher-capacity ignition switch, and a double-contact starter relay for better starting. New options included T-tops, a padded landau roof with an illuminated opera band across the roof and Frenched rear quarter windows, color-keyed body-side mouldings, side and deck stripes.
The Cordoba's sales were slightly down from 1976, but it was still a runaway success by Chrysler-brand standards.
The Town & Country wagon was on the big Newport platform for its final year; in 1978 it moved to the LeBaron platform.
The biggest Chryslers were the Newport and New Yorker Brougham, with their 124 inch wheelbase. These had different front and rear styling but similar sides; both continued with velour seats, dual folding armrests, reclining passenger seat, and optional leather. Only two and four door hardtops were available, the wagons having been dropped.
By far, 1977 was the Chrysler New Yorker Brougham's best year, bringing in hefty sales despite a hefty price — around $7,000 base, and, fully loaded (as many were), over $10,000. The main change was rubber-covered steel corner guards that allows the lower corners of bumpers to sustain a 3 mph collision without damage, and new rubber-covered steel front bumper guards.
The New Yorker Brougham had, until 1975, been sold as the Imperial LeBaron, with minor styling differences and the options made standard. New Yorker Broughams were, therefore, sold against the Imperial's more successful rivals, Cadillac Fleetwood Broughams and Lincoln Continental Town Cars. The New Yorker Brougham brought back the styling of an earlier time, instead of adopting opera windows and coach lights; and had a chrome-plated zinc grille while Cadillac had a chrome-plated plastic grille.
New Yorker Broughams came with the 440 V8 as standard equipment, and an optional 400 V8, except in high altitudes and California, where the 360 V8 was standard, with the 440 V8 optional. The New Yorker dropped in weight for 1977, from (four-door) 4,832 lb to a "mere" 4,739 pounds.
New Yorker Brougham was sold as a two-door or four-door hardtop, with an extra-cost St. Regis Edition on the two-door. The four-door was far more popular in each year, with more than double the two-door's sales; 1977 was by far the best year for either model, with sales topping 60,000 units, versus around 33,000 in 1976 and around 36,000 in 1978. Chrysler New Yorker Brougham details
The 1977 trucks gained a new grille, upper body side moulding, two-tone instrument panels, seat trim, and optional
two-tone paint treatment. Trim levels were Custom, Adventurer, and Adventurer SE. Custom had vinyl seats with multi-tone stripe inserts; Adventurer seats were vinyl with embossed inserts, and Adventurer SE seats were cloth with vinyl inserts. Custom and Adventurer buyers could pay extra for plaid cloth seats with vinyl bolsters.
The 1977 Dodge Ramcharger had a new grille, which incorporated
rectangular parking lights, along with the new two-tone paints and optional upper moulding. Inside, the Ramcharger had the new two-tone instrument panel and new interior colors. The Ramcharger SE's interior had rosewood appliques.
In 1976 and 1977, new custom-van and "specialty truck" options were added; 1977 saw minor changes. These Dodge-labelled "Adult Toys" included, for 1977:
For much more, including vans and commercial trucks, see our 1977 trucks page.
Chrysler U.K. launched the new Chrysler Sunbeam, despite a strike at its Linwood factory. The Chrysler Sunbeam was a Cricket/Avenger-based subcompact (smaller than Horizon and a 2-door hatchback) released in 1977, which gave rise to the 1980 World Rally Champion Sunbeam-Lotus with 2.2 Lotus Esprit engine. This project was one of the fastest ever seen for a new car at the time, taking only two years from green light to production; they kept rear wheel drive, though front wheel drive was used on the larger Horizon and Alpine.
Chrysler France added the Simca Horizon, a natural progression from the Simca 1100. The Horizon would sweep America by storm, after substantial changes for the market, and took France by storm at first, as well. In Spain, the Chrysler 150 (a Simca 130x derivative) was named Car of the Year, and Chrysler Australia launched a group of Mitsubishis under the Sigma name.
Chrysler's small cars were Mitsubishi imports, pulled in to make up for the unusual and complete lack of fuel-efficient subcompacts. Chrysler had not had success with their own captive imports from Europe, though that would change with the Horizon .
The two-door Plymouth Arrow had sporty styling and the MCA-Jet system, which shot air into each cylinder at high velocity to make combustion more efficient. The Arrow GS and Arrow GT had an optional "silent shaft" (balance-shaft-equipped) overhead-valve 2.0 liter four-cylinder, with a standard five-speed manual transmission on the GT (four speed on GS) and an optional automatic. The base engine was a 1.6 liter version.
The Arrow could be purchased with full instrumentation, disc brakes, a center console, and a number of other options; the interior was every bit as fancy as considerably more expensive American intermediates.
Sharing the Arrow's drivetrain and chassis, the Dodge Colt (Plymouth Champ) had a 4.2 inch longer wheelbase. In Canada, Dodge sold the Arrow and Plymouth sold the Colt. The Mitsubishi versions of these cars were Mitsubishi Lancer and Lancer Celeste.
The Plymouth Sapporo/Dodge Challenger, a two-door subcompact based on the Arrow, rode on an extended wheelbase (99 vs 92 inches), with thet same height and another couple of inches of width (65.6 inches). The Arrow was 167 inches long, the Sapporo 183 inches.
As Detroit struggled to come to grips with emissions requirements, power levels sank, to the point where the 170 and 198 slant six were dropped, and the lone remaining in-line six was the 225.
Developed by Pete Hagenbuch and his staff, the Super Six was a partial solution to the need for better mileage. The team substituted a Carter BBD for the one-barrel Holley 1945, increased the axle ratio from 2.76 to 2.94 on coupes and sedans, and added a 2 1/4 inch diameter exhaust pipe and larger air cleaner, using a revised intake manifold. The horsepower increased by 10, and the throttle response and driveability off idle were greatly enhanced. It was certainly worth the $40 or so Chrysler charged, and has been in demand to this day — to convert other slant sixes to two-barrel carbs. For many owners, it was an economical alternative to a small V8.
For 1977, 318-powered F-bodies and B-bodies sold in high-altitude areas had altitude-adjustable carburetors; and the TorqueFlite torque converter was modified for better gas mileage and torque, with increased oil flow. The spark advance on these cars was also modified.
The 440 four-barrel (7.2 liter) remained, in California as well as regular trim; for 1977, the Lean Burn system made its appearance on the 440 "for better driveability and overall performance" (until the system stopped working properly.) The engine was standard on New Yorker Brougham and Town & Country, and optional on Newport, Gran Fury, and Monaco.
Briefly, Lean Burn used sensors (distributor pickup, magnetic timing pickup, inlet air temperature, ambient temperature, water temperature, and throttle position) to set the spark advance, often using vacuum for communication. Later, when the vacuum was replaced by solenoids and more sophisticated sensors, communication speeds increased and vacuum leaks stopped wreaking havoc on the signals, resulting in a far more reliable system. By then, fuel mixture was (via oxygen sensors) also being controlled. The idea was admirable, but not as well tested or developed as it should have been.
Lean Burn was also set for a late launch on the 318 (except in California); this small V8 was Chrysler's perennial best-selling V8 engine, and was available on the Volare, Fury, Gran Fury, Cordoba, and their Dodge equivalents (not available in California on the largest cars or wagons).
Dodge, still the market leader, refreshed its 1977 vans with high-back swivel seats, upgraded carpet, quick-release bench seats, privacy glass, and the fuel pacer option; the Van Clan Club was created for owners, and a four-speed overdrive was optional on B100.
The popular single rear door was made standard, with the dual rear door now optional. Dodge added five new metallic colors and four straight shades to its five existing color choices. Maxiwagon and maxivan models continued Chrysler's exclusive 15-passenger capacity for wagons and the longest interior cargo length for vans.
1977 additions included swivel high back bucket driver and passenger seat option; a quick release for wagon bench seats; and better bench seats. Dark gray privacy glass (as well as normal tinted glass) was a new option, to increase privacya and reduce heat.
Perhaps more to the point for many people, the big 400 and 440 cubic inch V8 engines became optional (they would only stay through the 1979 vans). Fewer cars were being sold with those engines, and it's possible management wanted to increase their sales.
The front torsion bars on all rear wheel drive cars had been used by Chrysler for decades; they were height-adjustable but reaching the limits of their design. One clever touch was raising the front pivot of the upper control arm higher than the rear, to prevent "brake dive."
In back, clever mounting of the leaf springs provided both roll stability and weight transfer that helped high-power launches.
During these years, Chrysler focused more on ride than handling, adding rubber isolation pieces throughout their suspensions.
Chrysler had net sales of $17 billion, with net profits of $163 million, and employed a quarter of a million people, though the fourth quarter had a $50 million loss due to Horizon launch expenses. They sold 1.3 million cars in the US retail market, with a 14.5% share, down from 16% in 1976; record retail truck sales of 468,161 trucks provided a 13.5% market share, down from 14%. Canadian market share was 25%, down from 27%, for cars; 14.5% for trucks.
Chrysler made 1.25 million cars in the US, and 480,296 trucks; as well as 217,936 cars and 105,977 trucks in Canada. The next largest number were built in France, 472,154, thanks to Simca. Mitsubishi-made cars accounted 207,428 more; and Rootes contributed 116,281 in England. Finally, Chrysler made 84,259 cars and trucks in Spain; 60,545 in Mexico; 21,840 in Australia; and 47,298 elsewhere.
Chrysler sold 1.8 million vehicles in the US, 253,000 in Canada, and 961,215 elsewhere (including 4,326 tractors presumably from Barreiros).
Chrysler U.K. — the former Rootes Group — had a hard year, with a $36.6 million operating loss. A $17.6 million grant from the UK government, extracted in return for jobs, cut that loss nearly in half. Chrysler France saw lower sales but maintained a profit, while Chrysler Spain had better earnings; conditions in South America brought $35 million in losses there, far worse than 1976's $2 million loss.
Mound Road modernized their LA V8 line, added new lines, and increased floor space by 97,200 square feet; Kokomo tooled up for automatic transmission production with computer controlled equipment for full testing; Windsor added 136,000 square feet to build capacity for the 360; Missouri Truck added 102,000 square feet; Jefferson Avenue started converting from cars to truck and van production; and Huntsville added 176,000 square feet for making electronic components.
Chrysler was also working to build the XM1 tank, the Army's first turbine powered main battle tank, which had double the power, cross-country speed, and mobility of existing combat tanks. The first one would be delivered in early 1978.
Though 1977 was hardly Chrysler's best year, it had some high points, and ended with profits. Plymouth dominated the police market; and engineers were finding solutions and creating new generations of cars. The Super Six combined of durability, economy, and pep, and the partnership with Mitsubishi no doubt brought in import-minded customers, some of whom left with a Volare or Aspen.
The resized Fury and Monaco were fine cars on their own merits, with a luxurious feel, better cornering and acceleration (assuming the same engine) than their larger brethren, and far better gas mileage. The muscle car era was not completely over for Chrysler; the short-run L'il Red Trucks and 360 Aspen R/Ts were still coming.
Engineers were starting to work on pollution systems that would help power and driveability; Lean Burn and electronic feedback carburetors ushered in higher-tech solutions that would bring 224-horsepower 2.2 liter fours and 380-horsepower 5.7 Hemis. Weight reduction was starting to take hold.
Chrysler Corporation was down, but not out, and its customers in 1977 could reasonably expect to get a durable, enjoyable vehicle.

Dear Laila,
"The key to BC Rail sale … " is Gordo the Real Estate huckster.
Brilliant piece of work! Thank you, thank you!!
I'll put up a big fat LINK over at my place, hoping many people wll read this excellent analysis …
and tomorrow is another day in BC Supreme Court where we find out (I hope) whether Madam Justice Elizabeth Bennett has decided to take her promotion to the BC Court of Appeal (which to my mind means more delay, more side-stepping), or whether she has decided to carry on as the BCRail Case judge (which I will view as a sign of integrity). A sign of integrity would be nice.
Sure am glad you're on this case, Laila. Stay strong!

Meaning & History
In the case of the character from J. M. Barrie's play Peter Pan (1904), it was created from the nickname fwendy "friend", given to the author by a young friend. However, the name was used prior to the play (rarely), in which case it could be related to the Welsh name GWENDOLEN and other names beginning with the element gwen meaning "white, fair, blessed". The name only became common after Barrie's play ran.

Lovers' quarrels rarely end in a police raid and drug bust, but George Dyer was not an especially rational or forgiving person. New tapes released by Barry Joules, one of Francis Bacon's closest friends, reveal the artist's lasting preoccupation with Dyer's 1968 betrayal.
Bacon believed that Dyer had intentionally planted a marijuana stash in the base of an African carved statue at the artist's studio as revenge after a particularly heated argument. On the recording, obtained earlier this month by the Guardian, Bacon recalls:
At the time of my arrest, and for a long time after, I stayed furious. To release some of the tension, I straight away went to my easel … did a large painting. He [Dyer] is sitting on a chair with the nasty flattened police dog at his feet sniffing towards the statue … which became George's head.
The result of Bacon's impassioned painting was "Two Studies of George Dyer with Dog" (1968), which now resides in a private collection. Rendered in one of the artist's patently fraught psychological landscapes, the work underwent a series of revisions. At first, the sculpture in the painting's foreground represented the statue where the pot was hidden. That eventually changed into the image of the police dog "sniffing towards the statue," as Bacon described it. Then it finally became a depiction of George's head.
The statue had actually been a gift from Dyer, who told Bacon that the Krays (British gangsters who were twin brothers) had given it to him. Bacon's comments suggest that he knew Dyer kept his pot stash at the artist's studio:
So, after giving it to me, then scraping the base covering away … he pulled the stuff wrapped in a thin foil out of the hollowed-out statue. … Then one day after we'd had a series of terrible rows in a great rage he reported me to the Chelsea drug squad. They raided the place here and their trained Labrador sniffed out the drugs in the statue. It was all a dreadful mess … but in the end Goodie [Arnold Goodman, a solicitor] defended me and I got off … finally paying a huge amount in costs. The judge didn't like me much.
Bacon was acquitted of possession charges, but he still had to pay legal fees totaling £3,000. That's over £50,400 at today's rate, or nearly $68,500.
Three years after the drug bust episode, Dyer committed suicide while on a trip to Paris with Bacon, who was being honored with a major exhibition at the Grand Palais. Left behind at the hotel, Dyer consumed a large dose of sleeping pills and was found in the bathroom two days before Bacon's opening. Although shocked by his lover's death, Bacon continued prepping for his exhibition as normal. Dyer would continue to haunt Bacon's paintings for years to come.
In March, Joules released another tape to the Guardian, which revealed Bacon's extreme distaste for Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol. Expressing his bewilderment at John's "False Start" (1959) selling for $17.05 million in 1988, Bacon stated: "The whole thing, it is nothing. It is just a series of a number of diagonal scratches going in different directions in red and blue."
Bacon's hostility to Abstract Expressionism has been well documented by art historians, but this new evidence comes directly from the artist's mouth. He agreed to be recorded by Joules only on the condition that his friend not release any tapes until 12 years after his death. Bacon died in 1992.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt is 97 years young. Loyola's resident rock star "boogies" around campus in her maroon monogrammed Nike's, a gift from the men's basketball team.
"Sometimes they say, 'Sister Jean, you remind me of my grandmother,' and I say, 'No, your great grandmother. Your grandmother would not like to hear that because she's about 20 years younger than I am,'" she says.
Sister Jean has been at Loyola for more than a half-century, is the chaplain of the men's basketball team and was just inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame. She offers more than spiritual guidance to the players; she also provides a scouting report on their opponent during prayer before every game.
"I tell them guys to watch out for on the other team and to not let anybody get under their skin," she said. "We ask God to keep us free from injuries and play with great sportsmanship. We pray for the referees that they can see clearly and fairly."
Sister Jean is at work every day at 8 a.m.
"My first day on the job, when I got to my office, their was a file folder from Sister Jean," head coach Porter Moser said. "It was a scouting report of every player I inherited — full blown detail, like, hey number 20 needs to work on his left hand this summer."
"She's always like, 'Keep playing hard, you played so hard out there, keep making those beautiful threes' and stuff like that," Loyola guard Clayton Custer said. "It just makes your day better."
Her office is right in the middle of the student union, which is just how she likes it.
So what is her secret?
"I enjoy life," Sister Jean said. "I just have a good time and take time to pray too."

Double Glazing – Air Gaps – What's Best – Myth Vs Truth
Arm yourselves with the truth, give those sales guys a hard time!!!!
Over and over I hear that "the bigger, the better" makes the best air gap for energy efficiency, I hear this from customers who have visited suppliers who only have a 16mm gap (24mm glazing space), and a few suppliers who have argued this with me (briefly ) so I thought it may be useful to show the ASHRAE study which proves that 12mm is the optimum gap, not 16mm… (American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers)
The graph below shows the "x" axis as the gap in inches (0.5 inches is 12.5mm) the vertical "y" axis shows the centre of glass U factor (or U value). The curves at the top of the graph refer to the outer pane and the lower curves refer to the inner pane.
You will notice that the curves for air/argon become elevated ABOVE 12mm, meaning that the U factor increases above 12mm. and the window becomes less energy efficient. Proving 12mm is the optimum gap for double glazing using Argon gas or air.
You can see that in all cases, at smaller gaps than optimum the U factor increases (gets worse) sharply.
Also as you can see, air gap (or Argon gap) is critical for energy efficiency and triple glazing has little value if the gaps are small (so double glazing with 12mm gaps is better than triple glazing with 6mm gaps).
Some local window manufacturers use gaps as low as 6mm in their double glazing as they have a very narrow glazing space, their windows being designed for single glazing – (check out the gaps you are being offered as air is free – today anyway ).
Remember 12mm = optimum and air is free, so when you buy double glazing you want a gap as close to 12mm as possible – you are already paying for the glass.
But remember WERS is your friend

This is Simaudio's current top of the line, state of the art DAC. We had listen to this in comparison to the 380D in a setup before and the difference is nothing short of miraculous. The 780D V2 is a lot more money but you also get a lot more sound/music with it. This is easily, amongst the best DAC we have heard in the under $20,000 category. For this listing, the 780D V2 is brand new in the box. Previous owner is a long time Simaudio fan and had originally planned to add into his Simaudio system stack (see our listings for the other Simaudio gears for sale) but took a different direction after he purchased this. So the unit, literally, has never been unboxed or installed. Read up Stereophile magazine for an excellent review on this model.
Pictures you see on this listing are stock photos and for representation only. Unit is still in its unopened box. FINISH IS BLACK. Pics in the listing with the silver finish are for representation only.

In my last post I mentioned I would follow up with my thoughts on what, if not high LDL, does cause heart disease. What is funny is I just read several articles which attempt to show that HDL is not good cholesterol and it appears the new trend is going to be calling all cholesterol bad. This stems from the data that despite how effective cholesterol medications have been at lowering LDL heart disease is only slowly declining. So there must be something else wrong here, right? Either we double down on the idea that heart disease is due to cholesterol OR we realize that cholesterol isn't the problem.
This post isn't likely going to include any sources. I have read too much to piece together my understanding on this issue. Instead let me start by mentioning the sources I trust. First is the book the Paleo Cardiologist by Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC. This is the source of our heart health talk we do in the office. Wolfson's book is referenced and a very credible source. The second is two books by Ray Strand, MD; Healthy for Life and What your Doctor Doesn't Know about Nutritional Medicine. The third is Mercola.com, one of the largest sources of natural or alternative health topis on the internet. If you want a copy of the book the Paleo Cardiologist give us a call to find out when we are giving our Heart talk again.
So, the traditional thought is that cholesterol sticks to the arteries, causing plaques and narrowing the arteries. That narrowing restricts blood flow and contributes to a variety of cardiovascular conditions. Cholesterol sticks to the arteries because they become inflamed and we have to much cholesterol in our blood stream. The non-traditional thought is that the inflammation of our arteries is caused by too much insulin which is elevated because of a diet too high in carbohydrates. Insulin promotes the absorption of carbohydrates from the blood stream to the cells of the body. When we eat carbs more insulin is produces for those carbs to be broken down and used, or stored, in our body. The more carbs the more insulin.
When our society started to promote the low fat diet as the solution to heart disease, because fat is bad, what occurred was a replacement of more carbohydrates to offset the reducing in calories due to less fat. Foods started including more carbohydrates which means a larger insulin response. How much of your food includes high-fructose corn syrup? The use of that increased dramatically in the last quarter of the 20th century. Additionally, the fat in the foods we eat actually help to slow the digestion of carbohydrates in our body. This results in a smaller insulin spike. The overall combination of more carbs and less fat results in a larger insulin response. The thought is that the increase in insulin is inflaming our arteries making them less permeable to the fat which, instead of passing through the arterial wall, sticks and results in s plaque formation over a long period of time.
From what I have read and from how I understand the mechanism of heart disease, I think that the cause is not too much cholesterol but too much carbohydrates. I don't think that all carbs are bad either though. Our bodies need and use carbohydrates but we need a balanced diet. We need to avoid processed foods and foods with high-fructose corn syrup. Dr. Ray Strand's has a great lifestyle of healthy eating but it's complex. You have to be mindful of eating "good" carbs over "bad" carbs. I don't think that you should 100% eliminate carbohydrates, which is not possible anyway. I find that the Paleo diet, when done right, is a great healthy eating lifestyle that is easy to follow.

The Kiddush Man
This short yet poignant film is set in a sunny Jerusalem synagogue over several Shabbat mornings. A bored young boy who is in the habit of sneaking out of the service to raid the Kiddush lunch buffet, is confronted by an older congregant who is responsible for setting up the lunch. The man always appears angry. Why? When the boy sneaks out once more, the "Kiddush Man", for once, is not around. Where is he? As the boy goes searching for him, he discovers the reason for the anger and connects with the old man on a different and touching level. http://www.vjff.org/events/support/7/the-kiddush-man
