The PM series of high speed pulverisers are used for fine grinding of polyethylene & UPVC.
Precision powder grinding
PM pulverisers are used for regrind & virgin plastic materials alike. Typical applications include PVC for the pipe & profile extrusion industry & PE for rotational moulding & compounding applications.
Material is fed into the grinding chamber by a variable speed vibratory feeder & is ground between one static & one rotating disc.
Final powder size is determined by the gap between the static & rotating disc which is easily adjusted external from the grinding chamber.
Ground material is pneumatically conveyed from the grinding chamber to an optional screening device where good material is bagged off & oversize material automatically returned to the grinding chamber.
One-piece grinding disc
The one piece design - serrated disc - ensures lower replacement costs. The installation & setting of the disc is fast & uncomplicated.
Latest bearing technology
The single drive system operating at high speed & high power has a special bearing arrangement to ensure prolonged production times between bearing service.
Easy adjustment
The gap between the grinding discs can be easily adjusted to give accurate setting for the required fineness & consistency of product. The system can produce powder sizes to below 500 microns. Depending on the material, there may be no requirement for a screener.

Sooner for Life
I've been done with classes for about three weeks now, done with rowing for about a week and a half, but I don't think it's completely set in yet. I keep getting the same question over and over: "Are you excited to be done?". Every single time I shock people when I say no.
Don't get me wrong - there are some things I'm excited to leave behind, and I know what lies ahead will be great, but there are a ton of people and places I will miss more than anything. First and foremost, I'm so thankful that I was able to have an experience that is so hard to let go. The people who have become so dear to me and the places I made my own are only the beginning of what made it such a special experience.
It's crazy to think that four years ago I was graduating high school knowing that what lie ahead is going to be a crazy ride. I look back at pictures of my final days of high school, and I think it's so funny that the person in that picture didn't know the people I know now or understand just how crazy that ride would be.
Looking back at old photos is one of my favorite things to do, and I love to share them with others. Toward the end of my senior year, my friends and I would take photos and videos knowing between those and our memories that's all we would have left from our time in college. I'm excited for the days we can come back together for football games and do it all over again even if just for a weekend.
I was reading through my journal recently and found a short one-page entry from sometime last September. I wrote about how I knew I only had eight months left of college, and while that may sound like a long time, I knew it would fly by. And I can absolutely confirm that I was 100% correct. The time flew by, but there's nothing I can do to change that. So, I'm forever grateful for the time I was given in Norman and with the best people on Earth. I am also especially grateful to 18 year old Emily who had no idea what she was getting herself into at the time. I may be a different person now, but I know that the growth and change was all worth it.
So, I've spent the last few weeks milling over my last four years, and this is the best way I could put it into words. I could pull out old photos, videos, drunk texts, football tickets or Big XII medals and show you exactly how it all went. I could lay it out on a timeline and tell you about my last football game as a student, my first OU/TX, Saturday nights on Campus Corner or even Wednesday nights in our kitchen. But to put it into words, I want to make sure I don't forget just how grateful I am for everything I experienced at the University of Oklahoma. Given the chance to do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing.
Boomer Sooner,
Emily xo

Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 CB5 - Liszt, arr: CesariniFranz Liszt's 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies are characterised by melancholy, great expressiveness and wonderful gypsy rhythms. No.2 is the best known of all, mainly thanks to the use of various passages for cartoon characters such as Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker and Bugs Bunny.

On your travels are you a magnet magpie, a postcard purchaser or snowglobe seeker?
Or perhaps you prefer traditional textiles and artisan art.
As travellers, we often seek out specific items to remind us of our adventures or choose to collect one thing on every trip.
We do this because we want to freeze time.
Souvenirs represent a moment in time.
They're an open doorway that keeps a moment alive in our hearts and our minds and a way to celebrate an experience, even when it's long over.
If you're considering what to pick up on your next adventure, here are my suggestions.
As travellers, we often collect moments disguised as everyday items - the flight stub from a cheeky upgrade, a coaster from your favourite sunset beach bar, a metro ticket or a carefully peeled label.
Yet so often we do nothing with these items when we return - or worse - we lose them and the moment can be gone forever.
These Destination Travel Wallets come with a keepsake stash tin and solve the problem of what to do with the small keepsakes we collect on our travels.
Each travel wallet has an atlas quality map on the outside that you can plot your journey on and space inside to make notes and keep safe the small reminders you collect during your travels.
When you return you simply remove your passport and slip the travel wallet and your travel stash into the tin and label it. Job. Done.
Rifle through when you need to be reminded of your adventures.
There's plenty of space in the stash tin for small city maps, postcards, photos, keyrings, even that dodgy souvenir magnet that slides off your fridge door!
With travel wallets available for World, USA, Europe, Africa, and Asia & Australia you're sure to have your next trip covered.
Okay, depending on the size of the book and how you're travelling it might not be the easiest item to carry around!
Some of my favourite recipes come from small pamphlets and photocopied recipes I was given during various cooking lessons in India, Thailand and Indonesia and what a way to relive a moment with a special dish!
Plus, you're in the perfect place to pick up the exact spices or special local ingredients required but do check you can bring them back into your home country.
One of my favourite items to seek out on my travels is jewellery. Especially if I get to meet the maker.
Sometimes it's a small item that I know won't last the journey but I'd like to share my journey with it for a while.
A great statement necklace you haggled your heart out for in North Africa can bring a smile to your face and a flicker of memory every time you wear it as well as brighten up a rainy day.
Or maybe it will be the low jangle of silver bangles from a wonderful trip to India that will take you back to a time far away from your office desk.
These small moments can gently pull us back to a different time and remind us to keep our travel dreams alive.
There can't be a country in the world that doesn't weave something.
Whether it's scarves, cushion covers, rugs, blankets, fabric or clothing the list feels endless.
I bought a gorgeous vintage rug in Iran and I absolutely love it.
Every time I walk on it I'm reminded of that day in the carpet store in Shiraz and the wonderful stories shared over tea - one part history lesson, one part subtle sales pitch.
Again, if you can meet the maker they can add another layer of knowledge to the product and the memory, it can help you appreciate the skill and work that goes into a piece too.
Definitely not for the commitment-phobic among us but this is something that has endless options.
If it is for you a tattoo could be the perfect way to capture a special moment from your travels, particularly if you seek out a traditional method of tattooing.
It's a personal choice of course but a huge plus is that this is one memento that won't add extra weight to your luggage!
I love this flag keyring by Storyteller.
To me, they're the perfect combination of geeking out on a country's flag and a special memento.
They're like a more up-to-date version of the patch sewn on your backpack but with the added bonus of being able to specify a special moment.
Definitely something I'm adding to my list.
For the minimalists among us who want to travel light this free digital map is a way to while away the time reminiscing about your travels as you colour in where you've been.
You can print it colour or black and white and it looks great printed onto board and hung with a simple poster hanger.
You can grab your free colour in world map here or click the map above.
Before you go, do check out our keepsake travel wallets for a simple and easy way to create a memento of every trip you take.

But making even small changes to reduce our plastic footprint is a step in the right direction with regards to reducing trash and plastic in the oceans and landfill.
Recently I've been thinking about how much waste I've discarded in countries throughout my travels.
In India, we often bought street food served in a piece of newspaper or some other type of disposable wrapper - such as a banana leaf - that we just ate with our fingers.
But slowly and surely there was increased use of plastic cutlery and those horrible orange polystyrene food cartons - which I saw piled up in a lake near a small town one day.
It was heartbreaking to see that mess building up, polluting the water and killing the ecosystem.
I've vowed to find ways to reduce my plastic footprint when I'm at home and when travelling.
Now, I'm not suggesting you start knitting your own yoghurt and wearing wholemeal sandals, but there are some simple actions that we can all take today to reduce our plastic use.
These are my simple tips to use less plastic when travelling and how you can reduce trash with these alternatives to single-use plastic products.
No, not even a tiny bit. Take your own soap and decant toiletries into long-lasting reusable containers.
Shampoo & Conditioner Bars are getting much better than they used to be and might be worth a look.
We always take a soap dish and if we do use the hotel soap we take it with us to continue using.
I know, it's so tempting just to buy bottled water throughout your day, but all that plastic mounts up.
If you're based in a place where drinking water is available from a tap, taking your own reusable water bottle is a perfect solution.
You can also take empty ones through airport security and refill airside at an airport from a fountain.
As for drinking straws, if you really do love a straw you could take your own stainless steel drinking straw (and cleaner).
During my travels, I have witnessed drinking straws being reused or played with by a bored worker and then popped in someone's drink, so if THAT doesn't put you off I don't know what will.
This post has a handy list of how to say 'No plastic straw, thanks' as well as three other helpful phrases in four different languages.
I feel like I was the last person in the world to find out that 'paper' coffee cups aren't actually recyclable.
When I think of all the single-use cups I put in the recycling bin at work, feeling like it was ok as it could be recycled. I feel ashamed.
Urgh...and don't get me started on coffee shops that serve your coffee in a 'to go' cup when you're having in. Proper cup, please!
When travelling in S.E. Asia we purchased street food or food from the Thai food markets pretty much every day. I shudder to think of all the containers and plastic bags that went into the trash.
I will definitely invest in good quality collapsible silicone food containers for my next trip. Great for taking snacks on a long journey too. Probably not a good idea for soup though!
I sat down in Vietnam to eat some delicious street food and in the centre of the large communal table was a tall glass filled with cloudy water.
In it were well-used chopsticks for the patrons to use.
There's recycling and then there's taking recycling too far in my eyes!
I immediately popped to the shop across the road and purchased my own sticks.
I'm not a big fan of sporks, I either cut my mouth on the serrated edge or worry I'm just about to.
I took a Spork on our travels to India recently and honestly, it was too unwieldy for me and impossible to even cut a pancake with any sense of decorum.
I'm going to stick to taking lightweight cutlery that we have at home with me in future or perhaps some bamboo cutlery.
Even if you don't intend to go shopping, take a bag anyway so you can say no to plastic bags if you suddenly find yourself needing to purchase items.
I have an Ultralight Stuff Rucksack byOsprey. It folds down small, is washable (so I don't care if dirty veggies from the market go directly into it, I can wear it on my back or hold it.
I take it on all my travels but any canvas tote is handy as well - I keep one stuffed in my handbag if I'm out and about at home.
If you're in a country you know doesn't (or suspect is unlikely to) recycle waste, or has dubious options for dealing with it, then you can always rinse it out and bring it home to be recycled in your home country.
Obviously, I'm not talking about dirty waste and tin cans but I take my empty shampoo bottles and other finished toiletry items back to the UK to be recycled.
They weigh virtually nothing and it means there's less chance of them being tossed in the pit in the ground or piled up on a beach somewhere or polluting the ocean.
I'm not going to say that I do all these things all the time but I feel it's more important to try and make at least one positive change than be overwhelmed trying to do everything and do nothing.

With so many options and places to go, I asked these well-travelled bloggers for thoughts on the best travel destinations in Europe by train as well advice on what to take, how to get through a busy station and tips for interrailing around Europe.
All aboard!
Toot Toot *blows whistle*
When travelling Europe by train, especially if your itinerary includes several countries like a Eurail trip or a grand tour of the best European Christmas markets, it's important that you do some research first and plan wisely says Laura from Travelers Universe.
It might be tempting to jump all over the map, but any big city in Europe has its wealth of other nearby towns and villages worth seeing and it would be a pity to miss them.
Visiting in clusters will save you a lot of time you'd otherwise spend on trains. While Europe has many scenic routes, you'll probably still want to spend most of your holiday sightseeing rather than seeing crop fields through a window.
Finally, keep in mind that many train and metro stations in Europe don't have an elevator and running with large luggage through a busy train platform is no fun. So pack light and work out what your essential items to take interrailing are.
When considering which things to take interrailing bear in mind that you can buy many items on an as-needed basis.
Often when we travel we take photos of the big events but sometimes it's the small moments that can trigger the biggest memory.
Without realising it we keep hold of items that can be future memory makers such as the coaster from the (ridiculously expensive) cafe over-looking the Seine, your entry ticket to Buckingham Palace or the label carefully peeled from that fab Belgium beer.
We do this because we want to freeze time. Yet too often we do nothing with them when we return or worse, we lose them and the moment might be gone forever.
This Europe specific travel wallet and keepsake tin set is one of the best travel accessories and an essential item to take interrailing. You can use it to easily and quickly create a memento of your European trip.
Made from tough yet lightweight Tyvek® you can plot your journey on the write-on atlas-quality map cover and make important notes inside.
And with pockets for your passport and other small documents and travel keepsakes, you'll feel more organised knowing that everything is in one place. It's essential for your interrailing kit list.
The keepsake tin is the perfect place to store your travel stash when you return and with lots of other travel wallets available, you can collect the set!
Travelling in Italy is fast and easy on La Frecce, the high-speed trains operated by Trenitalia says Lesley from Freedom 56 Travel
There are 3 different speeds of service, the fastest of which is the Frecciarossa. These trains operate at speeds up to 300km/h!
We took the Frecciarossa from Rome to Pisa and the 355km trip took a quick 2 hours. It really made the day trip from Rome to Pisa possible.
Frecciargenta trains operate at speeds of up to 250/km/hr and Frecciabianca trains go up to 200km/h. It's a bit odd at first to realize how fast the train is going but it soon becomes routine as the Italian countryside whizzes by.
La Frecce offers four classes of service, from Standard to Executive.
We tried standard and premium and found Standard service very comfortable with great seats with plugins and excellent Wifi. Premium service was very nice and included at-seat catering and wider leather seats.
Train travel in Europe is relatively safe although, as with anywhere, you need to be vigilant says Lee from Travel Scribes.
We've unfortunately been the victim of train theft three times – twice on the train itself (a Montblanc pen lifted very easily from our backpack being the worst), and our external hard drive was taken from a coffee shop in the station itself.
Stay alert, try to keep all your valuables close to you, if packing a larger suitcase that might be put in the doorway then put your important documents and items in a small sling bag.
If you can afford it, we'd highly recommend a Pac Safe backpack as an essential item to take interrailing. These backpacks are made with reinforced fabric and sturdy locking systems that are almost impenetrable, whether by a pickpocket or even with a bolt cutter!
Landing in Dublin without a car and want to visit Galway, Cork or Belfast? Kathleen Lyons from The Ireland Expert suggests using Irish Rail and has given a list of travel options by train as well as recommendations for when you're there.
Dublin-Belfast: From Dublin's Connolly Station, Enterprise Service reaches Belfast in a little over 2 hours. There you can see the Titanic Centre, eat at Deanes Love Fish, splurge at the Fitzwilliam Hotel or save at Lagan Backpackers hostel.
Dublin-Cork: From Dublin Heuston, venture to young and lively Cork. Walk to Bru Hostel or the Hotel Metropole, enjoy BBQ at White Rabbit, kiss the Blarney Stone!
Dublin-Galway: Less than 3 hours from Heuston Station is artsy Galway, featuring legendary music pubs, Claddagh rings and Aran sweaters. Bunk at Galway City Hostel or the swanky G Hotel and Spa; ferry over to the magical Aran Islands.
So book early, pack light, then relax and enjoy the ride!
Suzanne from Meandering Wild recommends The Jacobite steam train which runs from Fort William to Mallaig in the north west of Scotland. The journey takes just over an hour, usually being pulled by a steam engine.
Passing through deep glens and a number of steep hills before following the Scottish coast with views to islands, it is a magical journey.
Famous for its role in the Harry Potter movies Glenfinnan Viaduct is a highlight of the journey and worth leaving your seat in the old-fashioned carriages. Lean out of the window carefully and you will see the track snaking ahead of you.
To complete this journey you need to book a long way in advance. The seats sell fast when they are released but it is worth the forward planning for such a stunning journey.
Karen, who blogs at 'Are we there yet kids' for her interrail Europe tip and she suggested to get the Interrail global pass if you want the freedom to move around with the added bonus that kids go free!
If you're covering more than one country when exploring Europe by train then an Interrail Global Pass will probably give you the best value for money. Even better, it offers the most freedom and flexibility to go exactly where you choose for as long as you want. Like the look of a place, just hop off, they'll always be another train!
Interrail has many different options depending on how long you can travel ranging from one country, one week, all the way up to 3 months. All you have to do is decide the best places to go interrailing and plan your route, the possibilities are endless!
We opted for a 3-week pass visiting 5 countries and many beautiful cities. The pass worked out far cheaper than flying or individual train tickets and it was wonderful to know that our tickets would be accepted on any train. Unlike other ways to travel, Interrail doesn't wack up their prices during peak season and kids are free!
One of the most efficient and perhaps nostalgic ways to travel across Europe is by sleeper train.
Falling asleep to the rhythm of the rails and waking up to sun breaking over new landscapes holds a special kind of magic for us say Ellie & Ravi from Soul Travel. Unfortunately, interrail night trains across Europe are becoming more and more of a "boutique" experience.
They are either being upgraded as luxury experiences or being scrapped completely. Last year, German operator Deutschebahn cancelled sleeper train routes from Amsterdam to Zurich, Munich and some other cities - which were key features of any journey from North to Southern Europe.
If you want to experience the nostalgia of the interrail overnight train, vote with your feet! The more people booking these trains, the better as it helps to keep them commercially viable in the age of cheap flights.
Sleeper trains can be a great deal on an Inter-rail pass too although they often require a supplement - hotel plus transport in one!
One of our favourite journeys is Amsterdam to Lisbon by train - you get to truly ride the Night train to Lisbon - and you get to see Lisbon Orient Station in the beautiful morning light.
Some countries are better than others when it comes to squeezing value from a Eurail/Interrail Train Pass.
But few countries are better in value than Switzerland, due to high prices in the country, but also the unbeatable scenery along the way is Allan Wilson's interrail Europe tip.
This includes the Glacier Express, an unbelievably scenic alpine train line crossing the Swiss Alps from Zermatt (a huge attraction in itself) to the resort ski town of Saint Moritz.
It is also known as being "The Slowest Fast Train in the World" due to the steep and windy mountain terrain covered when crossing the Swiss Alps.
The train journey takes nearly 8 hours in total and it passes various attractions including the highest point of the journey at Oberalp Pass, the start of the River Rhine at the Rhine Gorge, and even a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the iconic Landwasser Viaduct. Not to mention the unforgettable scenery of the Swiss Alps.
Sarah from A Social Nomad's recommends the Bulgarian Narrow Gauge Railway between Dobrinishte and Septemvri.
There are just four trains each way per day that traverse the route from Septemvri to Dobrinishte in the mountains of Bulgaria. This is the final remaining narrow gauge track in the country and the route stops at the highest railway station in the Balkans at Aramovo, 1267 metres above sea level.
This route is a delightfully quaint way to see life in the mountains of Bulgaria.
The track runs for 125 kilometres but takes 5.5 hours to complete the route. These are not just for tourist trains, but usually full of local travellers heading to and from markets.
You'll normally only find 3 carriages and it's a fabulous opportunity to bring a picnic and some good Bulgarian wine to enjoy during your journey.
The most famous stops on the route are the ski resort of Bansko (Bulgaria's largest) and Velingrad, the Bulgarian spa town.
It's a glorious ride through the countryside of Bulgaria – valleys and mountains and a fabulous slice of rural life.
Diana from The Elusive Family says that family train travel in Europe can be very accommodating depending on where you are travelling and how you book your tickets.
There are several train lines that have family compartments for short and long-distance travel. In Germany, families are able to book family compartments for train travel across the country and they are often only a few extra euro per seat when booking tickets
The compartments are private with six seats and a table in a room adjacent to the main compartment and separated by a door. This kind of privacy is immensely helpful to parents of small children who require extra privacy.
Laura from Ottawa Road Trips recommends spending a day and night in a historical library.
You can step aboard a train at London's Euston Station and, several hours later, find yourself a century in the past—at least in spirit.
Each day, Virgin Trains runs about a dozen trips between Euston and the small English city of Chester, and the journey takes roughly two hours (direct).
From Chester, it's a six-mile (10 kilometre) trip by bus or cab to the village of Hawarden in North Wales. And why would you go to Hawarden? For the unique chance to live in a historic library.
Victorian prime minister William Gladstone laid the groundwork for Gladstone's Library in his home village; it opened in 1902, four years after his death.
In 1906, a residential wing was added, meaning that scholars, book lovers and the just plain curious can live in dorm-like rooms and read vintage volumes - many from Gladstone's own voluminous collection - from morning to night.
Nuria from Sube a la Nabe recommends tourists get a Renfe Spain Pass. There are different passes available depending on the number of trips you want to make: 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 trips.
In addition, with this pass, you can also use free Cercanías trains. If taking short journeys, it's important you validate your ticket to avoid fines - some can be more than 100 euros!
Although Spain is a safe country, and it's unlikely anyone will steal your luggage, it is advisable to have your most valuable personal items in sight.
If you need to buy food for a long trip, it's better to purchase it before you get on the train as it's much cheaper.
In general, the seats are comfortable on most trains but if you have a night journey, you can sleep in a bunk car, it will be more comfortable - although somewhat more expensive.
The Vienna Main Train Station was recently rebuilt to be one of Central Europe's most important transport hubs.
You will find here an information desk for trips you can take around Austria, in addition to the main ticket office, as well as several ticket vending machines.
For locals, the station itself is becoming increasingly useful as a shopping venue – from supermarkets, drugstores, pharmacies, clothes-, book-, flower- and jewellery stores, to bakeries, fast foods, and a Starbucks, one can find here one of the city's best-serviced shopping venues.
The advantage is that at least some of these shops are open late in the evenings and on Sundays when pretty much everything else is closed in Vienna.
The station is connected to the city centre by the metro line U1, which makes it an ideal place to stay in Vienna.
There are several high-quality hotel chains around, like Motel One or the Novotel.
A direct train takes you from here to the airport in less than 20 minutes.
No matter when you visit Vienna, the local railway company will have season-specific day trips by train available to you so you can see the Wachau Valley in spring, visit Hallstatt in autumn, or drop by the Salzburg Christmas market while in Vienna. Just make sure to visit their information desk.
Sinead from Map Made Memories feels that when travelling through Europe by train, many travellers tend to visit the principal major cities and often overlook rural parts of the country.
Most European countries have extensive train networks so getting out and about into the countryside is easier than you may think.
We travelled through Europe by train with our three children and became jaded with visiting busy, expensive cities.
We decided to take two consecutive train trips into rural Switzerland, connected with a cable car and spent a glorious week 1, 200 metres up the side of a Swiss mountain in a tranquil car-free village!
We met more local people and learned more about the local culture than we had in any of the cities we had previously visited.
I hope you've found lots of ideas for your trip to Europe and agree that travelling by train is one of the best ways to travel around Europe.

One of the big benefits of group travel is that it's a great way to travel longer distances or traverse countries that can be tricky to organise yourself.
Some of my best group trips have been to countries or regions I felt overwhelmed to go to on my own, such as Morocco, Iran, Central Asia, Southern Africa.
There's no doubt that travelling in a group has its pluses and minuses, and that travelling with a group of strangers brings a special set of rewards and risks.
I've undertaken many group trips and on the whole, they've all worked out fine.
In fact, I've met some fantastic and fascinating people along the way - including my husband!
I'd say I've travelled with decent people more times than with jerks.
But, it is a key area of a trip that you have no control over, and it's not just other travellers, the crew/staff are part of the group too!
Research the company you're travelling with and find out the:
If you're travelling on your own find out what the costs and options are for single room supplement.
These things are important to understand so you can make a judgement if this is the right trip for you.
I have a theory about group travel, and it's this. Irrespective of how long your trip is, you start to unravel as a group in the last 10% of the trip.
So if you're on a two-week trip the last day or so people are bit tetchy. If it's a month, it's 3 days; 3-month trip, around 10 days; 6 months, then the last 2 or so weeks you can feel increasingly frustrated with others and impatient.
I think towards the end of a trip we are mentally and emotionally moving on to the next stage of our journey, be that going home and back to work, or on for further travels, or to start a new life elsewhere.
I feel we begin to 'check out' of the current situation and our tolerance has reached its limit.
Accept that it's okay for people to want to be on their own. It may well be you feeling like that, so have a plan ready.
I've heard some utter horror stories of groups that just did not gel.
If you have a tricky group situation, it's not really up to the staff to sort it out. You're travelling as adults, in an adult world and crew aren't school teachers or parents.
Yes, they have a role in ensuring a harmonious trip as possible takes place; but so too does everyone in the group.
After all, you've chosen to do it and (in most cases) paid a fair amount of money for the experience.
Why wouldn't you want to get the most from it, enjoy each day and make it work?
Chances are, in a group of adults, you're not all going to get on, but you can try and be civil. Not always possible, I appreciate that.
The bigger the group, the more chance you've got of steering clear of people you're not too keen on. You can deploy a bit of 'strategic seating' at group meals or on transport.
We all have good and bad days and need to make allowances for that. Some people are just particularly irritating and all you can do is manage how you feel and react.
If you think that going on a long trip - I'm thinking of something like an adventurous overland trip of several weeks or even months - is somehow going to change your life. It's unlikely. It's just a trip.
A trip alone won't make your unhappy marriage happy or your teenager grow up. It's the same moon wherever you are.
I also don't think it will cure depression, cure addiction, or make you give up smoking either.
Also unlikely it will make you brave or cure anxiety, but it could make those issues harder to cope with when you're away from home in a challenging environment.
So be very honest about what you want from this, and what's really possible.
However, a long trip, particularly a group trip, can be a time for reflection and the beginning of a new start in your life.
You never know, you might meet the love of your life, or just spend time with some great people and see some amazing sights.
Travelling in a group has the added benefit of there being someone around to take photos of you, but our travels are more than just photos and the places we've been to.
As well as big magical moments our travels are also made up of the people we met and the experiences we have and the small, everyday moments.
Often these are the things that trigger our memories.
It might be the label you peeled from the bottle of Aussie Shiraz you sipped as you watched the sun go down over Uluru.
The small trinket given as a symbol of friendship at the Indian cooking class you went to.
The beautiful yet baffling currency with far too many zeroes to wrap your head around.
So, if you're planning a special trip be sure to check out a Keepsake Travel Wallet.
With wallets available for various destinations you can create a memento of your travels and remember the best bits - not just the time someone didn't pay their share of the group meal!
Here's a snapshot of my India Travel Wallet and keepsake from my travels to India. So many memories right there for me to rifle through when I want a reminder.
In Summary, group trips can be a great way to:

Bon voyage!
Long periods of nothing punctuated by bursts of activity and some pretty crappy food and increasingly scuzzy bathrooms.
Like you, I've done my fair share. I've got my routine down now. These are my long-haul flight tips and my long-haul travel essentials.
This is what I do to get through it.
Awake Time
Though I am partial to a bit of in-flight meditation, on the whole, I'm looking to be entertained if I'm not trying to sleep.
The in-flight entertainment on the last long haul flight I took was not working in the section of the plane I was in. So what a huge relief it was that you can now download Netflix.
I spent pretty much the whole of my 12-hour flight chewing my way through the Netflix documentary, Wild Wild Country. Utterly. Fascinating. If you've watched it please contact me. I NEED to discuss it with someone.
My advice is, if you can to load up an iPad/tablet with Netflix. Even if you don't feel like watching it on a plane I'm sure it won't go to waste.
Plus, whilst the entertainment system can sometimes be great on a plane it's always good to have a backup plan.
I've written a long list of suggestions on how to entertain yourself on a plane.
I always take my own headphones and take an adaptor to use the 3-pin headphone jack that's available.
I find I can't read much on a plane any longer and have long ago stopped lugging heavy magazines. I no longer even take my Kindle on board.
Sleep Time
Neck Pillow: keep it simple and have tried all manner of flight neck pillows with varying degrees of success and I always return to my trusted blow up neck pillow.
It's cheap, small and easy to pack and most importantly, it doesn't take up heaps of room in my cramped seat and I don't have to lug it around when not in use.
Eye Mask: I also take a contoured eye mask. These are great because they give your eyes space to move and seem much less puffy than when using an eye mask that rest directly on your eyes. I picked one up in Marks & Spencer for £2. Bargain.
Earplugs: I have road tested countless styles of earplugs over the years. Silicone. Wax. Conical. The list goes on.
I can say that these are THE. BEST. A game changer. Grab a box of 20 from eBay and be done with it. Howard Leight Laser Light earplugs are the bomb - though it's probably best not to use that turn of phrase to describe them when on your flight.
Add a pair of compression socks and I'm good to go. All these items fit in a small zipped pouch and stay there until my next flight.
Confession time…I am THAT person whose long-haul flight outfit is more suited to laying on the sofa on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
If you're flying economy I don't agree with the advice about turning up at the airport looking suitable for business class on the off-chance you'll get an upgrade. It hardly ever happens especially if you're not already dripping in air miles.
Although a friend did once happen to ask at check-in if there was any chance of an upgrade and ended up flying business to New York!! So perhaps this is bad advice, in any case, I'd still rather be comfortable.
I always travel with a light cardigan, a cotton scarf and compression socks. I've been anything from freezing cold to roasting hot on a flight. You just never know how it's going to be.
Loose clothing helps keep blood circulating and dealing with bloat. Plus, sleeping sitting in a chair is hard enough without wearing a pushup bra as well. eh, fellas?
It's time to try and save your skin.
You need to keep hydrated inside and out. So…lots of water going in and lots of moisture going on.
I'm a big fan of face oils as I feel they give a good coating and don't 'evaporate' in the same way water-based products do.
Skip the heavy harsh clay mud masks and acidic toners, this is not the time for that kinda facial. Go for hydrating soothing masks and moisturisers and take LIP BALM!
In addition, I take a mini hand cream and apply throughout the flight.
I've also been known to deep condition my hair on a flight, with less success than I'd hoped so I shall skip that suggestion.
You don't need me to tell you to drink water on a flight Although I do struggle with this, particularly if it's an overnight flight. I've had no problem taking an empty drink bottle through security to fill up 'airside' or in-flight.
Many (probably wise) people say don't drink any alcohol on a flight, but this isn't an option for me. I mean….who doesn't accept free booze?!
So, you're not gonna hear me spout a no-booze policy but I would suggest you go easy and don't combine it with sleeping tablets; I speak from experience and once had to be woken by the air steward to inform me we had actually landed in London and yes, the plane is now empty.
Look, you're on a metal & plastic tube full of recycled air and scores of people who have come from all corners of the globe. It's a germ-fest, people.
I don't care if saying this makes me sound a germaphobe but I take some antibacterial hand wipes and wipe down my armrests (including the recline button), screen, table and entertainment console thingy as soon as I sit down. I sometimes use the hot cloth you get to do this too – once I've used it.
A friend was telling me that on a recent business class flight he was sitting next to the former CEO of a large European carrier. He saw the guy wiping things down and commented to him about it.
The former CEO said that planes aren't cleaned as regularly as they perhaps should be so it's a good habit to get into. I suddenly felt vindicated! And that was in business class. So at the back of the bus where I sit is definitely needing a good deep clean.
So that's about it. Short and sweet but these are the things that get me through a flight. A bit of entertainment, a bit of comfort, something with an elasticated waist and a wine (or two)!

Bon voyage. . . and cheers!
You can do fun things on a plane or use the time to do a chore you've been meaning to do for ages. It can also be a great space to learn a new skill - before tiredness and jetlag kick in.
And you know what? Sitting and doing nothing is also an option.
I have to say, I don't mind taking time out to just sit and stare out the window and while away the time daydreaming. Actually, that feels like a luxury these days.
So, if you're not tanked up on booze and sleeping pills or fighting to stay awake you could do these things to keep you entertained on a plane.
With a bit of advance prep, this could be the ideal time to:
If all that feels a bit too taxing other options are:
I'm a terror for not planning enough in advance, this is the ideal time to:
Looking for a new job or want to make some personal changes, this might be the perfect time to:
With hours stretching ahead of you this could be the time for you to:
Of course, you could do none of these and just be in the moment and you know what? That's absolutely fine too.
Enjoy the journey. I hope you have a wonderful trip.
Be sure to check out our range of Keepsake travel wallets and never lose the small moments from your travels again.

I vowed to find ways to save money on travel vaccinations & medication. It can be done. These are my top tips:
I know, right?! Who'd have thought?
In the UK, many pharmacies are independent businesses so you can go in and ask to speak to the manager and negotiate the best price for things.
I only know this because it was the pharmacy manager when I handed him my prescription and without prompting, said:
'I can do the malaria tablets for £185 instead of £195 and we can do something with the price on the altitude tablets'.
erm....okaaay. I never even thought the price was up for discussion!
Now that I knew the price might be up for negotiation, I began to shop around. You can get on the phone and call the pharmacies in your area for a quick price check as well as looking online.
Many companies have their price list available online so it's easy to do a price comparison but be aware prices given can be per dose or for the full set of vaccinations. So if it looks very cheap, it may be the 'dose' price.
In the end, I found NHS Travel Vaccinations via my GP Surgery were the best prices for vaccinations.
There are online pharmacists in the UK and although I've not used them yet I know people who have and they made quite a saving. Dr. Fox Pharmacy, based in Glasgow is one option.
Do get this sorted in plenty of time as a friend's medication got lost in the post and they only received it just in time.
Depending on where you're travelling to, you could make substantial savings by buying medication at your destination.
This brings some risk such as it not being available without a prescription or needing more time to organise.
It's not an option I would choose for all medication but some generic antibiotics I probably would.
You may also find that certain destinations are well stocked with medicines frequently used by travellers to that area.
For example, in Nepal, you could easily by Diamox for altitude sickness in the local store waaaaaay cheaper than the £30 I paid in the UK. Especially as I never used them and gave them away!
If you have other suggestions, I'm all ears.
If you're planning on an adventure be sure to check out our range of Destination Travel Wallets; turn your special travel moments into a lasting memento and never forget where your adventures have taken you.

During my travels, I collect these items with the intention of artfully arranging them in a cool travel journal, along with wonderful sketches of places I've visited and food I've eaten.
This personalised travel journal would be a simple way for me to freeze time and remember the small moments of my adventures.
I had visions of my beautiful leather travel journal looking something like this one.
But there is a fatal flaw.
I can't draw!
The horrible scribbles in my travel journal scrapbook would look nothing like the beautiful architecture I'd witnessed.
It was depressing.
This lack of artistic skill combined with a desire to capture the small moments of my travels is what led me to design and develop the Keepsake Travel Wallet.
Instead, I now store small mementoes from my travels in my travel wallet and in the keepsake tin along with postcards and other memorabilia that capture my travels waaaay better than my embarrassing scrawls!
I can plot my journey on the atlas-quality cover, make notes inside and never forget where my adventures have taken me.
Above is my India Travel Wallet and the keepsake stash I collected of moments from my adventure many which, over time, I might have forgetten.
My admiration and love of an artistic travel journal haven't faded though and if I can't marvel at my own travel diary I can at least marvel at other people's travel diaries.
Here's a roundup of some unique travel journal ideas from Instagram.
What wonderful skills people have.
I'm forever jealous!
What a wonderful way to record your day.
Oh to have the skills to create something like this. One can but dream...
Love this colour combination.
I would LOVE to be able to diarise my trip like this.
Love the cute hand-drawn camera!
Little travel moments add up to the big memories from our adventures and I just love how these artists have captured their travels. Even if it makes me envious!
So, whether you intend to stick your mementoes artfully in a journal, frame them or simply want to keep hold of them grab a Passport Amigo Keepsake Travel Wallet for your next trip.
You can keep safe the small mementoes you collect during your travels and after so that you can freeze time and relive the special moments, however you choose to record them.
With travel wallets available for Europe, USA, Africa, Asia & Australia as well as the World you're sure to find one for your next adventure.

Oh, the pressure!
I've come up with the following 5 useful gifts for travellers.
They are useful travel gifts for men or women whether they are backpacking, cruising, sipping champers on a balcony overlooking the Amalfi coast, or riding buses in Southeast Asia.
I decided to focus on useful travel gifts as, for many travellers, space is tight and you want everything you have to work for you.
Don't lose the little keepsakes from your trip of a lifetime. Collect, save & protect travel mementoes in a destination travel wallet and always remember where your travels have taken you.
Each wallet's cover is an atlas-quality map that you can write on so you can plot your journey on the cover and make notes inside and create a personal memento of a special trip.
Four interior pockets keep safe your passport, notebook, small travel docs and travel keepsakes. No more rifling through pockets and bags getting stressed looking for your passport or damaging precious keepsakes stuffed into a pocket.
Every travel wallet comes a keepsake tin so when you return you have a ready-made home for all your small travel memorabilia.
A timesaving solution for collating all your travel moments into one place that doesn't involve DIY!
With covers available for Africa, Asia, Australia/NZ, Europe, the USA and World maps you're sure to find a destination for your traveller.
Definitely a useful, unique & memorable gift for a globetrotter. The video below shows the Southeast Asia & Philippines Travel wallet.
If you're looking for a gift for a traveller with dry skin who also needs to travel light this Travel Skin Care Box is just the ticket.
As well as a shampoo bar, goat soap and lip balm it also contains a travel-sized version of their signature lotion bar.
Made with just three ingredients (shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax) the solid 'lotion' bar is designed specifically to heal and protect hands and feet from cracked and extremely dry skin.
I used the bar on a recent safari in Tanzania (along with my East Africa Travel Wallet) and it was the perfect solution for keeping my feet in top condition when wearing sandals in a hot, dry environment.
Plus, as the shampoo and the lotion bar are solid they slip pass the liquid restriction in place for air travel. Bonus!
I'm not talking bulky cotton or polyester sateen here. urgh…static! No. I'm talking a 100% silk sleeping bag liner.
The best silk liner is incredibly light-weight, stuffs into a little sack and barely takes up any room. It also dries quickly if you're hand washing it.
I use mine for a myriad of things. They are useful:
My favourite sleeping bag liners are these by Soundly Sleeping Dragon.
They are handmade by the Tan Minh Single Mothers' Cooperative in Hanoi, Vietnam, have a slot for your pillow, are 100% silk and come in a gorgeous array of colours. Just look at them; I mean who wouldn't want one?! Especially if it's a gift. Gorgeous.
I know. Boring; but oh so practical. I have the Exped Fold Dry Bag Ultralight and it gets used nearly every day I travel. It's incredibly lightweight and packs up really small. It's worth paying more for the ultralight dry bags. They are in a class of their own.
An ultralight dry sack was super useful during the monsoons in India as I could slip it over my Pacsafe crossbody bag and still have the bag crossed over me and was confident everything in it was protected from the rain.
Twice recently I've seen damage occur to iPads and computers when bottles of water have leaked into backpacks. So I always protect my tech gear in a zippered, padded laptop case, and then slip that into the roll top dry bag. Then it all just slips neatly into my daypack.
They come in lots of different sizes and colours. I've been really impressed by this bit of kit and have them in a range of sizes. Great for keeping sand out of cameras as well. And stuffing dirty laundry in them, wet swimming items and I've even used it for soaking really muddy items as pre-wash!
Definitely a useful gift for a traveler.
I know. Another deeply unsexy gift idea but stay with me on this one. I have this Pacsafe Travelsafe 5L Anti-theft Portable Safe (what a mouthful!) and whilst it's not a beautiful gift but trust me, it's something that can be used every day and gives peace of mind and it's a great road trip gift idea too.
In this 5L portable travel safe, I can fit my 11″ MacBook Air, passport, wallet, compact camera as well as other small bits like a watch, iPhone etc.
It has a splash-proof mesh lining and a tough steel cable you use to attach to items that don't move. Many thieves are opportunistic and it's about making your stuff that bit harder to steal in the time available.
I get into the habit of using it all the time. Even at home. Great when travelling on public transport too – especially overnight buses and trains. It is a perfect road trip gift idea as you can lash it under the seat of your vehicle. Its an ideal gift idea for cruise travelers too so you can safely store items in your cabin.
So, that's my roundup, I hope you can find something useful. And of course, it's ABSOLUTELY okay to buy gifts for yourself, useful or otherwise!

Happy gift-giving to the travellers in your life!

She sent Biloxi woman a counterfeit check. And printed more worth $26 million.
A California woman who printed counterfeit checks for a Biloxi woman and others has been sentenced to prison and ordered to repay 10 victims a total of $32,857.
Susan Ann Villeneuve, 62, of Escalon, California, was part of an international fraud ring dismantled after the Biloxi woman told a federal agent she thought she was being scammed by a man she'd met on a dating website.
Romance scams and work-at-home scams were among ways the crimes were committed against hundreds of victims and caused millions of dollars in losses in the U.S., federal officials say.
Judge Sul Ozerden sentenced Villeneuve on Tuesday to seven years in prison for conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, court records show. Villeneuve accepted a plea deal in May.
Three Nigerian nationals identified as ring leaders were sentenced to prison terms of 25, 95 and 115 years in prison in May. They are among those arrested in a videotaped raid December 2015 in South Africa, where a federal agent from Gulfport was on hand for the raid.
The Biloxi woman thought she was communicating online with a romantic interest in 2011. She received two BlackBerry Torch smartphones bought with a credit card that used the stolen identity of another Harrison County resident, records show. The package also contained shipping labels and instructions to re-ship the phones to an address in Pretoria, South Africa, where the electronics were sold.
The Biloxi woman was instructed to cash a $3,000 check, which was counterfeit, and sent part of the money to someone else.
Two Leake County residents and one each from Greene and Jefferson counties also are among victims identified by initials only in the indictment.
Many victims haven't been identified. If you think you were a victim, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Homeland Security Investigations discovered Villeneuve had designed and printed counterfeit checks written against at least 101 businesses, and printed more than 6,800 fake checks totaling more than $26 million from August 2010 through June 2013, court papers show.
She and 15 others were arrested in South Africa, Canada, California, Wisconsin and New York in an eight-count indictment filed in Gulfport.
The United Parcel Service, American Express and AT&T had combined total losses of about $2 million.

Hey mama with the yoga pants on, I hear you.
You want to put your nice clothes on, but it's taking all your energy to get through the day. You'll wear the jeans again, I promise. For now, enjoy the cotton, I hear you.
Hey mama who is in the throes of post-partum depression, I hear you.
You were so excited for this baby, and now, the things you feel scare you. You're not alone, mama, I hear you.
Hey mama with the tired eyes, I hear you.
You've been up all night with your toddler, he's the best thing about this life, but you're tired, and want just a bit of sleep. I hear you.
Hey mama who feels guilty for working, I hear you.
Your job is important to you, but so is your mothering. You feel torn between two worlds. It's okay mama, me too, I hear you.
Hey mama who can't find time for self-care, I hear you.
You know it's important, you miss the days of leisure pampering. You'll get there again, I know you will. I hear you.

She's being alienated in school, your heart is broken, and you aren't sure how to help. I get it, I hear you.

Hey mama who just lost your dad, I hear you.
Those last days of cancer were the worst parts of this life, and now you feel like the dark is suffocating you. I've been there, I hear you.
Hey, mama? Can I tell you a secret? You're not alone. You're enough. You're fighting the good fight, putting one foot in front of the other. You're brave and you're strong, and I hear you. There's light where there's dark, there is good when there is struggle. Hold on, mama, and don't let go.

Gotcha No. 5: If the CEO or someone very senior in the organization comes to you with an urgent problem, how would you handle it?
IT professionals at all levels seem to get asked this question. Manasingh says he's fielded it, and he and his staff would pose it to prospective junior-level employees "to see how they think on their feet" at SMBC Leading and Finance. Manasingh says the answer to this question helps him identify candidates who will take the initiative. He doesn't want candidates who would immediately call him and ask for direction.
Simon Stapleton, chief innovation officer with an insurance company in the U.K., also asks this question, but adds a twist: As soon as he asks it, he begins rapping his knuckles on his desk to create a sense of urgency and make people feel they're under pressure.
"The candidates who perform best don't show signs of outward pressure," he says. "I find it's a really strong way of distinguishing the level-headed people who can work under pressure from those who get flustered."
Gotcha No. 6: What books have you read lately?
This rather innocuous question is loaded with booby traps. Some of the senior-level positions inside CB Richard Ellis's IT department require research and self-study to stay current, says Nettles. So he asks about books to get a sense of whether a candidate is self-motivated--"definitely a positive" when IT department training budgets are slashed.
If a candidate says he hasn't read any books lately, that's not necessarily bad, says Nettles. "I dig into that more," he says. "I'll ask them if they're reading any technical manuals, or if they visit any technical websites to stay current. I'll lead them a little if they give me no for an answer."
Gotcha No. 7: Have you published any technical documents or white papers?
Some IT architecture and senior-level software engineer positions at CB Richard Ellis require heavy documentation, says Nettles. He wants to know what candidates have written about. If they haven't published anything, Nettles wants to hear what they plan to write about (and not the next great American novel).
Gotcha No. 8: A year from now, what is going to keep you at this company?
While working as an independent IT consultant, Tomko interviewed for a CIO job in 2006 with The Solae Company. The CEO asked if he would grow bored with a corporate CIO job. Tomko felt the CEO was sizing him up: Was he the kind of guy that liked to parachute in and shape up IT before running off to the next fire, or was he going to stick around for the long haul?
Tomko's response? "I don't know," he told the CEO. "All I can tell you is that I wouldn't be sitting here if I didn't think this was something I wanted to do. I can't tell you if I'll still want to be here a year and a half from now. That's a chance we're all going to have to take." (Tomko was offered the CIO job, and he accepted it. He stayed a year and five months.)
Gotcha No. 9: How long will it take before you make a positive impact?
Every IT manager wants to hire someone who can get up to speed in a new environment without a lot of training or hand-holding.
Nettles tries to determine how confident the job seeker is in her abilities and how well she grasped the job description and key responsibilities, in hopes of gauging her ability to quickly make a positive impact. If the job seeker understands the job for which she's interviewing and the challenges associated with it, she ought to be able to explain how long it will take before she has an impact.
Nettles says that senior-level IT professionals say it will take them 30 days to learn their new environment and 60 to 90 days before they make a strong impact. Ultimately, he wants to hear a candidate say that they're the guy for the position and that they'll be an A-player as fast as possible.
Gotcha No. 10: What makes you think you had anything to do with that achievement?
As a CIO, Tomko encountered job seekers who were intent on discussing all of the accomplishments on their résumés. So he would press them by asking how much they really contributed to the accomplishment.
"It forces the candidate to clearly articulate what their role was in that achievement," he says, adding that he was sometimes asked this question when he interviewed for CIO jobs, too.
Gotcha No. 11: If you were able to get 20 percent cost savings, could you have gotten thirty or forty percent?
When candidates would "wear the accomplishments listed on their résumé as a badge," Tomko says, he'd bring in a dose of reality with this question. Not taking their statements at face value, Tomko wanted to determine whether the amount of cost-savings was high- medium- or low performance.
Gotcha No. 12: What are your weaknesses and some of your failures?
Despite the fact that questions about strengths, weaknesses and failures come up in every job interview, job seekers continue to stumble on them, says Nettles.
"There's no walking away from the failure question," adds Tomko, so job seekers should rehearse a confident response.
But don't say that your biggest weakness is working too hard, which makes hiring managers roll their eyes. Come up with something genuine and explain how you've worked around it.

As soon as I came back home, I threw myself in bed and closed my eyes, sinking into a deep sleep after a restless day. March 30, 2014 had then ended. The next morning, I woke up feeling surreal as I saw the two sparking crowns sitting on my desk. I am Miss Entrepreneur and Miss Ao Dai. Really? And slowly, I recalled all the flashbacks from yesterday. It was 5:00AM in the morning that my alarm went off, waking my from a deep sleep.

Cymarshall Law x Mr. Joeker – Hip Hop In The Soul 2 (2011)

I've been following Cymarshall Law's career for a while. I own a few of his albums and I always thought he was a talented emcee. I actually own this album's predecessor (Hip Hop In The Soul) and thought it had quite a few bangers on it. This album is the natural progression of the emcee/producer relationship in that this is their second complete effort. The more you work together, the better you become, and that's where I think you find Cy and Mr. Joeker. They are in familiar territory and building off of the foundation from the last album and I do think that makes this album even better.
The album is strong throughout. There is no track that I would consider average. It's certainly consistent, and there are more than a few songs off of the album that border on remarkable making this album a great listen.
One of those cuts that I would consider to be remarkable is the Diana Ross sample driven track, My Time. I love what Mr. Joeker did with this sample. It's immaculate. I really can't speak enough on this. I don't think I could ever grow tired of this song. And the acoolades don't stop with the production, Cymarshall Law definitely knows how to turn a phrase:
It's interesting how a blessing can be a curse and / When the ones you love, are the ones you end up hurtin' / But in the end, everybody get what they deserving / And a true master knows that you never stop learning…
Great Ones is also a track that gives you insight as to how gifted Cymarshall Law is. He recounts the biographies (albeit abbreviated) of some of the great legends of our times. On the first verse he speaks on the career of Stevie Wonder, on the second Muhammad Ali, and finally, on the third, he tells the story of Michael Jordan. He tells each story with incredible precision, remembering detailed events that are embedded in in the memories of those who watched those individuals ascend to greatness. The message is simple, as those aforementioned individuals seized greatness, you too will have the the opportunity to make the most of.
The War also demonstrates more potency from the duo. This track can get anyone prepared to tackle their daily grand. The beat bangs along with synth keys, giving this track the feel of an anthem. It just rouses one's confidence and emplore's the listener to go for yours.I can easily see a live crowd singing the chorus:
This feels like a battle / I'm here for the war / And I'm ready to go harder than I ever have before…
Color is a cut that is bound to force people to take notice. The beat, the synth base, and the background vocals all provide a dope canvas for Cymarshall Law to impart several narrations that involve race, tradition, and stereotypes. Each verse tells a of a different circumstance that involves the color of one's skin. One of Cymarshall Law's gifts is the ability to craft great stories and you will see that throughout his career.
Hip Hop In The Soul 2 is consistent and at points it is great. Any album that comes in at eighteen tracks runs the risk of redundancy, and while some of the subject matter is duplicated from track to track, the album is infused with high energy, positivity, and perseverance. The word, "soul", which graces the title of this album, really serves a double meaning. You really feel that Cymarshall Law put a ton of himself into this album. I think you find his ideals embedded in every song. You would like to say every artist would do the same but that is sadly not the case. Cymarshall lended this album integrity, and in a sense his soul. The second meaning is a more literal one. Mr. Joeker made this album ooze soul. Much of his production is beyond superlatives and you will have those "Oh, wow!" moments throughout the course of listening. His use of altering and bending samples was jaw dropping on some occasions. This is definitely an album you are going to want to hear. It drops on October 4th on Itunes. (I will attach a link once it is available)
Here is a video sampler of the project:

People often wonder who they should hold financially responsible in the scenario that they get injured due to a medical error. They may believe that they can only sue the doctor in charge of their care. The good news is that medical malpractice is not just something that can apply to doctors. It can also apply to pharmaceuticals, health care professionals, hospitals, as well as nurses.
While there is no doubt that nurses try to provide you with the utmost best service possible, there's always a chance they may cause damage to your health due to negligence or using a wrong piece of equipment during the treatment procedure. Nurses play a vital role in the healthcare field, as they play an important role in caring for the patient; it is vital that they perform their duties sans error. Recent studies point out that an increasing number of nurses are being sued for medical malpractice.
Can Nurses Be Sued for Malpractice?
You can sue nurses if they fail to follow the standards of care. Nursing associations, doctor's offices, state licensing boards, and hospitals have specific care standards that professionals need to follow while carrying out their duties. These standards apply to nurses, as their duty demands the well-being and safety of patients. A nurse can be considered as negligent when they deviate from the expected standards of rules, regulations, and care.
Nurses are also thoroughly trained regarding the usage of sensitive medical equipment. They can be considered as negligent if they do not use the equipment properly and their negligence causes injury, harm, or even death to the patient they are attending. It is the duty of the nurse to monitor the state of the patient on a frequent basis, note this information in a chart, and present it to the attending physician when he or she does the next round.
Failing to follow the above procedure could put the life of the patient in serious jeopardy. It is the same with maintaining charts, such as temperatures noted at specific times of the day/night, medicines administered, and a lot more. Nurses also have more detailed information about the health of the patient as they spend practically the whole day with them. In the scenario that the doctor orders a procedure, medication, or test that might be harmful for the patient, it is the duty of the nurse to inform this to the doctor. Failing to do so can be considered as negligence on the part of the nurse.
You may be entitled to monetary compensation in case a lapse in care or judgment by a nurse has caused you to sustain from an injury. A West Palm Beach medical malpractice attorney can help you claim compensation for the following:
- Disfigurement
- Suffering and pain
- Hospitalization
- Rehabilitation
- Corrective surgery
- Lost wages
- Lodging and transport costs for medical treatment
- Emotional distress

NEW YORK • Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates once again topped the Forbes magazine list of the world's billionaires - now at more than 2,000 - while US President Donald Trump slipped more than 200 spots, the magazine said on Monday.
Mr Gates, whose wealth is estimated at US$86 billion (S$120 billion), led the list for the fourth straight year and has been ranked as the richest person in the world for 18 of the past 23 years.
Among the top 10 billionaires, a group heavily dominated by Americans, many from the technology sector, Mr Gates was followed by Berkshire Hathaway chief Warren Buffett, whose wealth was estimated at US$75.6 billion, a US$14.8 billion jump from the figure in last year's list, despite his pledge to give away 99 per cent of his wealth.
Mr Trump's net worth dropped to a mere US$3.5 billion, or roughly a third of what he claimed during his presidential campaign, according to the Forbes list. He fell to No. 544 on the magazine's 31st annual list, largely because of the slumping New York real estate market's impact on his holdings.
"Booming stock markets, higher commodity prices and plain old- fashioned entrepreneurship helped make this a record year in terms of wealth creation around the globe," said Forbes editors Luisa Kroll and Kerry Dolan.
Others in the top 10 included Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who rose to No. 3 with the biggest gain of anyone on the planet, a US$27.6 billion increase to his fortune of US$72.8 billion. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg was No. 5 and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison was No. 7.
There are 183 tech billionaires in all with a combined US$1 trillion in wealth, Forbes said. The global population of billionaires rose 13 per cent from last year to a record 2,043.
The United States had the most billionaires with 565, a product of the swelling value of the American stock market since Mr Trump's election. China was second with 319 billionaires, and Germany was third with 114.

"Very surprised to see no Charles See her content on mudcat."
Possibly because Charles and Ruth Crawford Seeger were more into classical music. I guess the income from "arranging" music for folk songs brought in a better income.
Personally I am always wary of folk songs where the music has been "arranged" especially by classically trained musicians.

HOLIDAYMAKERS faced flight woes today as strikes in Belgium and Spain caused severe disruption and delays.
A 24-hour general strike by Spanish workers got underway today leaving hundreds of Tyneside passengers stranded at home and abroad as two easyJet flights were cancelled.
And the action by the Spanish controllers came within hours of Belgian air traffic controllers staging their own wildcat walkout causing three Brussels Airways flights from Newcastle International Airport to be grounded.
EasyJet passengers expecting to board the 8.30am EZY6405 flight to Malaga this morning and those due to land in Newcastle on the 3.10pm EZY6406 arrival were grounded as a result of the industrial action in Spain.
Tyneside travellers set to fly with easyJet today were offered some warning of the disruption as the budget airline wrote to all passengers offering them the option of changing their flight to an alternative date.
The strike in Spain will continue until midnight tonight. Spanish law requires unions to provide a minimum level of service and it was indicated that one European flight in five will operate through the 24-hour period.
Flights in and out of Belgian airspace were suspended yesterday after controllers had stopped work at around midday, but the Belgium's air safety authority said it had not been informed of the reason for the strike. The spontaneous action is expected to last 24 hours.
Travellers will be entitled to a refund and out of pocket expenses under EU consumer protection legislation. They will also be able to reschedule their flights.
An easyJet spokeswoman said: "All airlines operating to and from Spain will suffer disruption. We strongly advise all passengers to check the status at of their flight at easyJet.com before travelling to the airport.
"In order to minimise disruption for our passengers, we contacted those booked to travel, offering the opportunity to change their flight to an alternative date within five days, free of charge, before any cancellations were made.
"While the circumstances are outside of the airline's control, easyJet apologises for any inconvenience. We are doing everything possible to minimise the disruption."
