In recent years, innovations achieved through 3D printing while utilizing titanium powder in the field of healthcare are amazing. For decades the health care industry could only imagine that additive manufacturing would become a tool for researchers in the medical field. These advances are evolving faster; moreover, titanium powder is enabling new and interesting ideas and fantastic new innovations.
The orthopedic department of Peking University recently announced new developments. Doctors undertook orthopedic clinical trials in 3D printing to produce artificial vertebral parts. Of course, this type of prosthesis has already been printed in 3D, but this is the first time they have been implanted in a patient.
The lucky recipient of this artificial vertebra is a 12-year-old boy named Minghao, and the young patient is the first person in the world to have a vertebral implant of this type. After a neck injury, incurred during a football match, a cancerous tumor was discovered on the second cervical vertebra of the boy, located in the spinal cord. There was an urgent need to remove it to prevent the cancer from spreading.
The standard protocol is normally to replace the vertebrae with a hollow titanium tube, but the patient can no longer lay his head down for 3 months, and must be provided with pins to stabilize everything. By using titanium powder to reproduce the vertebrae, the recovery time is significantly reduced compared to traditional techniques.
The 3D printing complimented with titanium powder has helped design a vertebra that perfectly fits Minghaos' small frame, and this new vertebrae has the advantage of being perfectly adjusted to the adjacent bone, and does not need to be secured with screws. The titanium implants also exhibit a very low rate of adverse reactions of the immune system.
The results so far are very promising, and the Director of the Department of Orthopedics, Liu Zhongjun, has expressed optimism for using 3D organ printing and implants in the future.
An Industrial Revolution
The equipment that is used to print the implants is really nothing new, but the metal titanium powder used for the creation of implants opens up the door of possibilities. What is new is how 3D printing is used to design and form prostheses. Rather than relying on square shapes that are easier to produce, the ability of the 3D printer to create highly complex geometries reduces the amount of additional hardware needed to build a generic implant that allows individuals to become mobile. Another advantage is the porous nature of the printed implant that allows bone to grow into the implant and create a natural bond.
At one time, the 3D printing technology seemed to have lost its novelty, but the introduction of this metal powder has ignited a boom for commercial industries, especially medical, automotive, art and lifestyle investors who see the potential in this technology. It's really a matter of how inventive and creative you can become because armed with a 3D printer and titanium powder, you can produce just about anything.
More importantly, as the benefits of 3D printers grow, so does the demand for titanium powder. The demand for specialized metal powder to feed these machines almost tripled in the four years to 2013.
Why Titanium Powder
Titanium has become a key material in medicine and aerospace due to its excellent compromise between strength and weight, in addition to its high corrosion resistance and bio-compatibility.
Titanium alloys have improved mechanical properties and chemical behavior. It's mechanical properties (strength, ductility, fatigue, etc.) allows for excellent usage in particular to the ability to shape thin and lightweight parts. Additionally, 3D printing makes it easier to manufacture titanium parts and prevents impurities obtained with traditional techniques.
• Its density is about 60% of that of steel
• Its corrosion resistance is exceptional in many environments such as sea water or the human body. In fact, Titanium is one of the most bio-compatible metals, along with gold and platinum, that is resistant to body fluids completely
• Its mechanical properties are to a high temperature of about 600 ° C and up are excellent cryogenic temperature
• Its fire resistance, particularly hydrocarbons, is very good. It has been shown that a tube of 2 mm thickness has no damage or risk of deformity or explosion and can withstand a pressure of ten atmospheres
Traditionally, 3D printers have been very large and horribly expensive, found in industry-leading corporations. They allow machining parts to be created with high accuracy especially in aeronautics (The Airbus A380 and printed components), automotive (Audi) and the medical sector (Peking University).
This technology has also been adopted for the purpose of rapid prototyping industry, in architectural firms and other big names in design. But today, thanks to RepRap, an open source project that began in 2005, and these machines have democratized and spawned a generation of 3D accessible to ordinary people.
Professional printers can use up to 200 different materials including plastics, metals, titanium, etc. and as with any technological advance, the success of an innovation often depends on the context in which it develops.
Technological, Medical and Environmental concerns are, more than ever, the center of all discussions. In addition, the outsourcing and off-shoring are starting to show their limits.
• These printers can accommodate rapid-manufacturing locally and thus reduce CO2 emissions and costs due to transportation and delivery time.
• 3D printing limit the waste of raw materials and its coupling with the new modes of small-scale recycling are expected to provide new opportunities for up-cycling quality.
• 3D printing can minimize time constraints for organ transplants and change the ways we produce and/or waste everything.
3D printing has the ability to solve one of the biggest worries of orthopedic medicine, or for that matter, surgery in general. Whether the nose, the jaw, blood vessels, and various parts of the human body, a 3D printer can replicate. Moreover, with the compliment of titanium powder, many industries can creatively and vigorously implement cost-effective solutions for the consumer.

text: Posted by: Installer Online on July 20, 2013 in Installer Blog Leave a comment Time to start saving For all Government's talk of cost-cutting, Dan Caesar, Managing Director of Energise Events, believes that cutting the cost of consumers' energy bills seems surprisingly low on the political priority list. While granting the Green Deal a paltry pot of £3million, Cameron's coalition is writing a blank cheque for fracking, nuclear and North Sea oil. In spite of the fact that sources like shale gas will not stop energy bills from spiralling skywards, the Government is disregarding the simplest of solutions, energy efficiency. While the loan element of the Government's Green Deal has had the slowest of starts, the fact that 40,000 assessments have already happened demonstrates that there is a definite demand for energy saving. And with the cost of energy rising relentlessly, is this such a surprise? After all, while there are tens of thousands of homeowners that want to save the planet, there are tens of millions of homeowners that want to save money. With the high energy that heating and hot water requires, we believe that soon the most successful installers will be those that reinvent themselves as energy-efficiency engineers. By 2013, our industry had high hopes of going round the homes of the UK making them more energy efficient – instead we've just being going round the houses. It's time to open some doors and that's where the Energy Saving Alliance comes in. We will be unlocking the potential of this marketplace with an Energy Saving Home App that will generate leads for installing businesses.

Carina Björk an Artist based in Helsingborg, Sweden.
Her interest in Art began as a hobby, creating Abstract and Graphic Op Paintings and the Passion for her Brushes. This developed over the years into Abstract Graphics Op Patterns and products for Home Interior, Textiles which are both Functional and Clean Design with an strong expression.
My Background
Having lived for many years in Barcelona, Spain my interest in art began, inspired by the beautiful Catalonian Architecture and the Graffiti, Funky Art. On my return to Helsingborg Sweden I carried this inspiration with me and started to create my own sketches and paintings for which I was lucky enough to earn some recognition amongst the Local and worldwide Art scene. Through this network I was invited to exhibit some of my work in Local Galleries and I was often asked whether any of my Art were available on Textiles or Home products. Due to this interest, I created a small collection of cushions covers and tray designs that now has developed with more products and art which you can view here on http://www.carinabjork.com/.
This is my short but happy story and I hope you enjoy my Pattern World.
Please email me at email@example.com if you have any questions or require any assistance and please check out the web as I will be adding more new art and products which I hope will be additions to your Home, Stores, Hotels or Office.
Constantly creative, constant innovation and is open to ideas so please do not hesitate to contact us for possible cooperation.
With love Carina Björk

My Christmas Granny Square Stockings
13 comments:
They are fabulous!ReplyDelete
So beautiful,so cute!!!ReplyDelete
Many greetings.
How cute!ReplyDelete
I was wondering... I can't see how they fold and go together. If I look at your ravelry page will it show the directions? I signed up for Ravelry... years ago, when I first started blogging after I met you, but... I've not signed IN -- in a very long time, don't even know that I could navigate the site. ;)
I'm going right now to check it out and see!
Your stockings are too cute!
I see now after going back to find the link, I MISSED THAT FIRST SENTENCE ALL TOGETHER with the free patterned linked.
I think my eyes must gravitate to the pictures first or something! That and I skim read... :)
This is a brilliant idea, I just love them. Well done my friend,ReplyDelete
These are so sweet, Sandy! I like how you noodle things out to make it right, and the way you want it to be!ReplyDelete
BTW, did you do your Christmas cookie blitz?ReplyDeleteReplies
No, not this year unfortunately. Too much going on with the two houses. I decided not to push myself so no cookies, trees or decorations outside…the majority of Christmas boxes are in storage. And we have roofers coming tomorrow to start working on replacing the roof tiles, the siding and gutters. It's a ten day job so we can't have decorations in the way.Delete
I love these! What a great alternative to a wreath. They look so pretty on your door.ReplyDelete
So I have made hundreds of these and the heel is perfect except do 3 instead of 4 corners on one of your squares and still fold in half with one corner at the bottom two on top get it?ReplyDelete

Some 112,000 people have been able to avoid the stamp duty property tax as a result of the nil-rate threshold when buying a home being increased to £175,000, new research shows.
According to Halifax, the government's decision to increase the level at which stamp duty starts has provided a boost to many homebuyers.
It has now been around a year since the threshold was raised, but December 31st 2009 will mark the last day of the current arrangement.
Chancellor Alistair Darling announced during this year's Budget speech that the property tax holiday would be in place until the end of the year before reverting back to the previous set-up.
Private landlords buying houses for less than £175,000 will have been among the property buyers who have benefited from the change in the levy.
Martin Ellis, housing economist at Halifax, commented: "The temporary raising of the lowest stamp duty tax threshold has removed a significant number of homebuyers from the tax net."

Translation is another kind of important contribution to OpenStack community. If you want to become a official translator, you need to finish following steps:
Before you start contribution, you'll have to agree to the contributor license agreement. (You can preview the full text of the OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement first if you want.)
If you want to become a translator only, simply speaking, you need to join The OpenStack Foundation (select "Foundation Member") and sign the appropriate Individual Contributor License Agreement.
Register a user ID in Zanata
You are encouraged to register with your business email, which will help your company to get the credit. If you don't want to, use your personal email will be OK too.
Request to join a translation team
Make sure to include a short introduction because it is the only information which language coordinators can use to determine your join request is valid or not.
When your request is approved, you will get an email notification.
Now you can start your translation. You can actually become an OpenStack official translator by contributing translations. You can find various ways of contributions.
The I18n project is an official OpenStack project, so official translators who have contributed in a specific period are regarded as "ATC" (Active Technical Contributor) and "APC" (Active Project Contributor) of the I18n project. APC can vote for the I18n PTL (Project Team Lead), and ATC can vote for OpenStack TC (Technical Committee). For more detail on ATC, APC and TC, see OpenStack Technical Committee Charter.
As of now, ATC of official translators are treated as extra ATCs as we have no way to collect statistics automatically now. The list of extra ATCs is maintained by the PTL and is usually updated short before the deadline of extra ATCs nomination in each release cycle. The deadline of extra ATCs nomination can be checked in the release schedule page at http://releases.openstack.org/ (for example, http://releases.openstack.org/newton/schedule.html).
Translators who translate and review 300 and more words combinedly in the last six months until the deadline of extra ATCs nomination are nominated as ATCs, and the ATC status of translators is valid for one year. Translation count and review count can be added up. The detail period is determined by the PTL in each cycle. For Newton cycle, the six month period was from 2016-02-01 to 2016-07-31, and this ATC status will expire on July 2017 if there will be no additional translation contributions.
I18n PTL updates the list using Zanata API and translator list. Detail statistics data is available below.
If you have a question, feel free to ask it to the PTL or the i18n list.
Note that contributors to openstack/i18n repository are acknowledged as ATC automatically in the same way as for most OpenStack projects.
A list of all ATCs is available at http://governance.openstack.org/reference/projects/i18n.html#extra-atcs.
The statistics are calculated using a Python script powered by Zanata statistics API Translator list is maintained by translation_team.yaml stored in openstack/i18n git repository.

But my hubby keeps on saying its not that easy to get the perfect one....i said give me a chance...atlast one day i got all the ingredients...guess how the final product would have come...very bad:((yep it came as hard biscuit...without properly cooked(i made wrong in selecting cheese variety).
After few days again i asked myhubby to give me one more chance...finally i made it:))...before this attempt i did lot of reading in net,, help from our bloggers who tried pizza at home..Thanks for all.
All-purpose flour--2 cups
Active dry yeast - 1/2envelope
Warm water -1/2 cup
Sugar- 1/4tsp
Salt - 1/2tsp
Big Tomato - 2
Tomato sauce - 2oz
Onion- 1 medium
Herbs - of your choice(i used oregano)
Basil leaves(optional)
Pepper - 2tsp
Salt- as per taste
Olive oil-1tbsp
Romaine Lettuce - 2 cups
Tomato- 1 medium
Chicken - few pieces(optional)Avoid chicken if you are vegetarian
Broccolli- 15 florets
Mozzarella cheese - 1cup grated
Coming to topping..it is purely based on your desire..you can top with any veggies of your choice like mushroom,greenpepper,spinach etc.,
In a warm water , add yeast and sugar keep aside for 10minutes...once it get rised,add that mixture to flour&salt..
Mix it well to form a dough consistency,cover the whole dough in air tight container...keep in warm place...
Fry the chopped tomato and onion in olive oil.Pour little water,add herbs pepper &salt.Close the pan, once it is cooked, slow the flame.Add toamto sauce&allow it to boil well,try to mash it in laddle..
After 4hours the flour would have raised well.Now divide the dough into big size ball,roll it in rolling pin.Brush the surface with olive oil and start your topping.
Just spread Tomato sauce, top one by one veggies or non veg which you have for topping..Finally cover with cheese and place the pan into oven.
Bake pizza in 425F for 15-20minutes till it turns light brown colour...
Serve hot with seasoning and garlic sauce(optional)

Opposition leaders say at least 50 protesters were injured when police charged with batons and used tear gas to break up the demonstration.
The opposition alliance of 14 parties, led by the Awami League, organised the protest demanding a more independent election monitoring body.
Elections in Bangladesh are due early next year.
The BBC's Waliur Rahman in Dhaka says this was one of the fiercest clashes between opposition activists and the police in recent months.
The clashes erupted as hundreds of supporters of the 14-party opposition group tried to push through police barricades in their attempt to lay siege to the Election Commission headquarters in the capital.
Independent elections
Some activists burned a bus in the busy central area during the protest .
Opposition leaders say some of the injured were women, who were treated brutally by the police.
Police denied allegations of using excessive force to disperse the protesters.
The opposition group, led by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, organised the protest to compel the government to make the Election Commission more independent, ahead of elections due early next year.
They were seeking the resignation of the chief election commissioner and revision of a new voter list that they say is biased in favour of the government.
Last month, Sheikh Hasina unveiled in parliament some reform proposals calling for changes to electoral rules.
She said the reforms were vital to ensure that the next elections were free and fair.
Prime Minister Khaleda Zia initially refused to concede to the opposition demands, but later offered to form a bipartisan committee to examine the reform proposals.

Well the strangest thing happened to me the other day...
A best friend that I used to have back 2 years ago left...
Never contacted me, spoke to me, came to see me even when he moved back to the same town as me. I never wanted anything to do with him if he wasn't going to make the effort to keep our friendship intact.
Well he contacted me. I was thinking "oh yeah, what's he want this time?" but all he wanted to do was set things straight and try and pick up our friendship. When he came over it was like we picked up where we left off, it was like he was still part of my family. Kinda funny when things like that happen.
Glad to see him and catch up. 2 years is a long time, but obviously not to late. :)

Hungarian Americans of Cleveland
Cleveland Press Articles
Recommendation to close Catholic school dropped
Plain Dealer, Feb 4, 1976
A recommendation that St. Margaret of Hungary School, 2891 E. 116th St., be closed was withdrawn last night at the Board of Catholic Education meeting.
The recommendation to close the school had come from the Rev. John K. McNally, chairman of the boards's (sic) elementary education committee. Father McNally said the school could anticipate no more than 56 pupils for classes next fall.
But a group of parishioners asked that the closing be postponed so that members of the parish would have more time to adjust to the change. The group requested meetings with the four secretaries of Bishop James A. Hickey. Father McNally then withdrew his recommendation.

The American Red Cross urges donors of all blood types to give now to help keep the blood supply stable during the holidays. Blood donations often decline from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day as people get busy with holiday activities. The recent Las Vegas shooting as well as Hurricanes in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico illustrate that it's the blood already on the shelves that helps those in need during an emergency. Volunteer blood donors are needed each and every day to help save lives. Your blood donation becomes part of the national blood inventory, helping to ensure we are prepared for any blood needs that arise wherever blood is needed.
Members of the campus community are encouraged to participate in an American Red Cross blood drive Wednesday, January 31, in Gengras Student Union 331-335. Appointments are available from 9:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m. To make an appointment to donate blood, please visit http://www.redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor code "UHart," or call 1.800.733.2767. You can also stop by the blood drive for a walk-in appointment if space is available. It is recommended that you make an appointment, as not all walk-ins are accommodated depending on the schedule. If you have any questions, stop by the Center for Community Service in Gengras 209 or call 860.768.5409.

Shahdadkot, Pakistan (CNN) -- The misery of Pakistan's flooding, which has already displaced millions, is showing up in the form of communicable illnesses, the United Nations said Monday.
Up to 1.5 million flood victims in Pakistan were being treated for a variety of ailments and conditions, including acute respiratory infections, diarrhea and skin infections, according to Maurizio Giuliano with the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has called a Tuesday meeting of senior Pakistani health officials, local officials, U.N. agencies and other international group to look into the emerging health crisis, state-run TV reported.
The World Health Organization announced Sunday that cases of acute diarrhea have topped 204,000. The number of skin diseases -- such as scabies -- has topped 263,300.
More than 204,600 Pakistanis have reported acute respiratory infections as filthy waters surround homeless flood victims, WHO said.
Thousands have cases of suspected malaria.
"Strong water and sanitation interventions, such as providing clean drinking water supply and addressing environmental hazards, are urgently needed to prevent outbreaks of waterborne diseases in" Charsadda, Nowshera and Peshawar, WHO said.
Meanwhile, the half-million residents of Shahdadkot frantically tried to flee their homes over the weekend as a wall of water threatened to burst mud berms and drown the entire city in Pakistan's Sindh province.
Three weeks into the worst natural disaster in Pakistan's history, people were still desperate to escape as a second wave of monsoon floodwaters surged southward. More than 1,500 people have died and 20 million lives have been disrupted.
But the suffering is sure to continue. Health officials fear that the human toll will get a lot worse as people are forced to wade through unsanitary water while clean drinking water is scarce.
More than 200 health facilities have been damaged or destroyed, according to the World Health Organization, greatly reducing the available health care for millions of survivors in filthy conditions. At least 4 million people are homeless.
"The depth of suffering is incalculable as risks escalate of diarrhea, acute respiratory infection, malaria and other communicable diseases," said Dr. Guido Sabatinelli of the World Health Organization. "It is crucial that all humanitarian health providers, local and national, coordinate their relief efforts closely to save lives, reduce suffering and deliver the most effective response."
WHO said waterborne, airborne and vector-borne diseases, including acute watery diarrhea, measles, malaria and acute respiratory infections, are threats due to overcrowding, lack of hygiene and breakage in waterlines.
The focus is now turning to heading off more disease, particularly among young children, WHO said.
More than 100,000 children have been given polio shots in Charsadda and Peshawar regions in the first three days of a new vaccination program.
United Nations officials have appealed for $460 million over the next three months to help the roughly 20 million people in need of shelter, food and emergency care.
Meanwhile, International Monetary Fund officials said they will meet with members of the Pakistani government in Washington next week to discuss the economic impact of the massive floods that have ravaged the country.
"The floods, which have hit Pakistan in recent weeks and brought suffering to millions of people, will also pose a massive economic challenge to the people and government of Pakistan," said Masood Ahmed, director of IMF's Middle East and Central Asia Department.
Ahmed says the meeting will be an opportunity to evaluate the economic impact of the floods, assess what Pakistan's government is doing to respond to it and "discuss ways in which the IMF can assist Pakistan at this difficult juncture."

Manic Street Preachers Find Solace In 'Plague'
Just weeks before original Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey James Edwards mysteriously disappeared in 1995, he'd turned over a handful of journals to his bandmates. The lyrics found within those journals comprise the material on the British rock band's ninth album, "Journal for Plague Lovers." The 14 song set is due September 15 via Columbia and fans that pre-order will receive a 10 track remix album that includes interpretations by Underworld, Four Tet, and Saint Etienne.
While the Manic Street Preachers have enjoyed a successful career since Edwards' untimely departure, lead singer James Dean Bradford concedes that this record was one they knew they'd eventually make one day, but needed time to process the events. "I think we're blasé people in a sense," Bradford tells Billboard.com. "We come from working-class backgrounds from south Wales; we don't buy into any notions of closure and catharsis. But therefore, I think we were taken a bit when we started recording. It was nebulous; something that grabbed at you and you couldn't quite explain it."
"Facing Page: Top Left," "Williams Last Words," and "Pretension/Repulsion" highlight Edwards' posthumous set of songs, of which Bradford says revolves around "the fallout of [1994's] 'The Holy Bible.'"
"A lot of the lyrics are at peace with themselves," Bradford adds. "There's a feeling of serenity. We knew we had to represent that on the record and there was going to be a softer side to it that 'The Holy Bible' didn't have."
The nature of Edwards' disappearance has been a precarious one, to say the least -- he and Bradford were supposed to fly to the U.S. on Februrary 1, 1995 for a promotional tour but Edwards never made it. He was officially presumed dead in November 2008. While Bradford and company have been sitting on these lyrics for fourteen years now, he says they've always had it in mind that they would use them someday- it just was a matter of getting to the place where they could.
"I remember looking at these lyrics before he disappeared and remember thinking 'I don't know if I can use these,'" he recalls. "We were left with a clue to his feelings through these lyrics; I've gotten them out from time to time, but always thought 'I can't do it.' For various reasons: emotional and academically, I didn't feel that I could do them justice for a long time. But the overriding thing was that he left us with these and we felt that he wanted us to do something with them. "
Manic Street Preachers are scheduled to return to the United States this fall for the first time in 10 years for a two and a half week club tour. The band will kick things off on September 21 at Neumo's in Seattle.

How we Do It
(placeholder for Deslorelin video)
A contraceptive implant, known as Deslorelin, is imported from Australia where it had been previously tried only on male dogs.
On a cold and blustery winter day in the fall of 2009 Judith and Lori had a discussion relating to the problem of too many unwanted dogs on the reserves and the associated difficulties (such as mauling of people and livestock). The dogs' own suffering (no shelter, no food or water, cannibalism, parasitism, freezing to death) gave further reason for serious concern and the two pondered solutions.
Just pondering is of little value, a solution must be found! Lori, from the Calgary Zoo, then revealed that several zoos use contraceptive implants in several species of animals to prevent reproduction. Judith, after reviewing the scientific literature, decided to go ahead and try it on the reserve dogs: she had seen enough puppies frozen to death in snow banks. The "Dogs With No Names" pilot project was initiated.
In its first year the pilot project comprised "catching" 15 female "dogs with no names" (feral or semi-feral) and implanting them with the Deslorelin capsule. It was hoped that this would serve to suppress their reproduction ability for between 16 to 18 months. As a result of the implant project over a 40 month period and 114 implants later, in excess of 100,000 dogs would not be born!
The implant procedure takes less than one minute and involves inserting, subcutaneously (under the skin), a small capsule between the shoulder blades of the dog. It costs about one third of the price of a spay surgery. Additionally, no pain, no incision to heal, and most importantly of all, no ill side effects. It is estimated that semi-feral dogs and feral dogs on the reserve most likely do not exceed a lifespan of more than 2-3 years. To obtain more information and scientifically tabulate our data, every implanted dog also receives a microchip as permanent identification in order to monitor the survival and reproductive activity over a three year period. Furthermore, every implanted dog receives a free bag of dog food, a complimentary dewormer and a rabies vaccine (rabies being a deadly but preventable disease – which even in this day kills nearly 50,000 people a year mostly in Africa and Asia).

The Big Picture
Contraceptive implants to suppress reproduction in feral and semi-feral female dogs are a first in the WORLD. If it works here on our First Nations Reserves dogs, it will work everywhere in the world.

How To Build A Vertical Garden
How To Build A Vertical Garden
[nextpage title="…"]
In today's populated world where we are lacking space for outward gardens in our areas or homes an idea of vertical garden occurred. Patrick Blanc, a French Botanist, invented the concept of vertical gardens and made the urban walls green and beautiful. So do you a wall that is empty or look horrible? This is exactly what you need. So let's read out how to create your own simple and beautiful vertical garden:
• Prepare pallet
The first step involves using the pallet and fixing its loose nails or rough areas. Then attach the 3 extra timber or wooden slats at the back of your pallet.
• Cut and staple
Cut the weed mat and cover the pallet from the top, sides and bottom with it. Staple the mat to the pallet starting from the top side. Now smooth the weed mat across the pallet and make sure it is kept taut through out. Leave the front and top portion of the pallet as this where your greens will grow.
[/nextpage][nextpage title="…"]
• Position it
After the weed is attached to the top of the pallet, turn it around so that the open side is in front of you. Now position it close to the wall where you would want to fix it.
• Plant
Place the plants tightly together on the top of the pallet by filling the potting mix and pushing it through the slats. Don't use edible plants as they are not suitable for this project. Compact the mix in using your hands. The remainder portion of pallet can be filled with the potting mix. Make sure that all plants are tightly fitted together.
• Review
Make sure that there is no space left on the pallet and there is no room for soil to come out. Leave the pallet lying down in a cool and bright place for about 6 days or a week so that the roots can hold the soil well. Then begin to water after you notice that plants are well rooted. This process takes about 4-12 weeks.
• Secure
Now just fix the pallet vertically on the wall and don't forget to water it regularly after every 7-10 days when the soil starts getting dry. Take out the pallet, keep it flat on the floor and water it. Hang it again after letting the soil drain. You can place as many pallets and of different sizes on the walls and make the urban walls go green.
If you want to avoid all the fussy procedure, then there are gardening centres that help you build your own wall garden. You just have to do a little home work before you go to them. Note the size of the wall and the factors around the wall such as sunlight exposure or pollution. You can purchase preassembled frame instead of making your own.
Some factors that need your attention:
• Shade factor: Make sure that you consider the shade factor before you choose your plants as while they grow with time, their stems may create barriers in the way of sunlight to the plants below them or behind them. For such areas choose the plants that are ok with shade and perform well in semi shaded areas.
• Choosing your plant factor: Choose your plant depending upon your purpose or requirements. If you are getting it done to create more privacy then go for the ones that are going to grow a bit long. Read the labels of the plants before you choose them to avoid the future hard work.
• Maintenance factors: Don't go for the plants that are hard to maintain when attached on your wall. Plan how will you shape your plants and give them a hair cut. Make sure that they grow at a suitable height. Consider the weight of your frames so that plant weight does not destroys your frames and thereby all other greens.

Concierge Legal Services
What are concierge legal services?
Having a concierge lawyer is like having your own in-house lawyer at an affordable cost. Concierge lawyering is akin to concierge medicine, although much newer in concept. With a concierge lawyer, a client will pay an annual, quarterly, or monthly retainer fee in exchange for the services of a personal lawyer who will advise and consult with the client on a broad range of legal matters, and who is on-call to serve the client's needs.
What is the difference between a regular lawyer and a concierge lawyer?
A concierge lawyer is not retained merely to represent a client in a specific case or for a specific legal purpose, but rather to serve as an advisor to the client, helping them make informed decisions as to all business, personal, and financial matters that may arise on a day-to-day basis. The client can reach out to the concierge lawyer about any issue they wish to discuss, without being billed by the hour for the call or email and associated follow-up.
Who is this service available to?
Because of the nature of this relationship, I am very selective as to who I take on as a concierge client. The service is only available by invitation. I only invite clients who have hired me for a specific service and that I think I would work well with on a long-term basis. The only other source of invitation is existing concierge clients. If you are a client of mine that I provide concierge service for, I will trust your recommendation and allow your guest to enroll immediately.
What would you do for me if I have you as my concierge lawyer?
When you enroll in our special concierge service, you have me as your own family lawyer, ready to help you, your spouse and your dependents. Any question or problem that may come your way, you will have the peace of mind knowing that help is just a phone call (or email) away. I will be available to answer your legal questions and handle legal issues that you may face. I will also write letters on your behalf, prepare and review legal documents, and much more. Here is what you get with my standard service:
Unlimited Phone Calls and Emails
You can get an answer to virtually any legal question or problem, as often as you need. I will answer your emailed questions, or we can arrange a phone call to answer any legal questions you ever have.
Letters Drafted; Documents Drafted, Reviewed, or Revised
I will draft basic legal documents such as wills and powers of attorney, review contracts, and write letters on your behalf to get results. Got a speeding ticket? A letter from me can go a long way. The standard retainer includes up to two document reviews or drafts per year.
Legal Referral Service
I am not an expert on everything, and I believe that when you have a legal problem, you should go to someone who is an expert in that field. You don't need to call around and research; I will connect you to just the legal expertise you need. These lawyers are hand-picked by me for their skill and professionalism. There will be no charge for an initial consultation with an expert concerning your legal issue. Also, because I don't ask these professionals for a referral fee, I can usually negotiate a nice discount on their services for you.
Assistance for Trustees and Agents
I include trustees of trusts we drafted for you and agents of powers of attorney we drafted for any issue involving the trust or power of attorney document. They can call me any time they have a question or a problem.
"House Calls"
Too much trouble to come into our office for an appointment? No problem. For a reasonable fee, I will meet you in your home or send an attorney or notary to your home and meet with you "virtually."
Digital Document Vault
All of your legal documents are stored digitally on the cloud where they are safe from any disaster and immediately available by email or fax to anyone you want us to send them to. (This is true for all of my estate planning clients, even without concierge service).
Annual Legal Checkup
I don't sit back and wait for legal problems to come to you. I will meet with you at the very beginning and once every year to assess your current situation and help you head off problems before they happen.
Free Copies of our Books and Other Publications
I publish new books and pamphlets on legal issues periodically. You will get a free copy of everything I publish including new or revised editions. You are also put on our mailing list for all the latest events, articles and videos we release.
Other Special Offers
I work to develop relationships with other professionals who I think can help my clients. I try to get these professionals to give special, exclusive offers to my clients from time to time.
Additional Services
This is just my standard service package. I also have more sophisticated plans for business owners, those with significant assets, and those who want more immediate availability.
Would I be locked into a long-term contract?
Absolutely not! I consider the concierge relationship one of deep trust and personal interaction. I am not offended if you decide it's not working for you, and I want you to feel comfortable canceling if, for any reason, you want to. The retainer for this service is paid by the month and can be canceled at any time. You are not locked into any long-term agreement.

Chapter 2
The Mammouth Springs Lodge location was at a large spring with very large volume of water at the creek at the foot of the hill in Mt. Peak. The Masonic Lodge No. 478 was at the top of the hill on the left going west, upstairs over a community church and meeting place. A steam operated gin was located near the spring for water and steam. The spring started failing in the 1930's and by the early 1940's was inadequate to supply water for the gin and it closed.
The lodge had always been upstairs over the church and community center at the top of the hill and according to courthouse records the lodge changed its name to Mt. Peak Lodge in 1893. The lodge went by both names with the same number 478 for ten or fifteen years. This is the lodge which loaned A.D. Witherspoon fifteen dollars to pay for the Midlothian Lodge charter in 1884. It is noted that there were many family and property connections between Midlothian and Mt. Peak.
In the 1930's when Mt. Peak Lodge demised most of the active members affiliated with the Midlothian Lodge.
We sat in lodge with many of the members from Mt. Peak in the 1940's and know many descendents of them. Most of the founders were deceased.
Brothers Dave Smith, W.H. Forbes, A.B. Forbes, J.A. Orr, T.J. Dorsett, E..B. Hollabough, Pink Burks, A.J. Burks, R.W. Dillard, M.K. Forbes, H.H. Anderson, W.H. Robinett, J.M. Stevens, and Brother W.S. Kizziah who helped organize and install the first officers of the Midlothian Lodge on 31 January 1885. Most of the older brothers who had been regular visitors of the Midlothian Lodge, had passed on when Mt. Peak Lodge demised, but on register they always signed as Mammouth Springs Lodge No. 478.
Many of their descendents helped make the Midlothian Lodge strong. According to old records our lodge has always been one of the strongest, best attended and knowledgeable in esoteric work lodges in our area.
Midlothian Lodge still carries the tradition of knowing the work. There are several current certificates in membership, and Milton Pegram and E.L. Webb have life certificates.
Stated Meeting 31 August 1895 - After regular business Worshipful Master W.J. Rhodes appointed Brother Wm. Finley, Ed Lowe, and P.P. Henson to a finance committee and discharged the old committee. It was then ordered by the Worshipful Master that the secretary read the by-laws aloud to the lodge. After which it was moved and seconded that the rent to Brother Kimmel and account to W. A. Brundage be paid and a draft be drawn for same, sustained.
Stated Meeting 31 December 1895 - After regular business, motion and second that all bills be allowed or paid, sustained. It was moved and seconded that a committee of two be appointed to try to find a suitable lot to build a new lodge hall and report at the next meeting, sustained. Many members disliked J.C. Kimmel.
Stated Meeting 25 January 1896 - The minutes show the finance committee reported and recommended that the lodge consider Mr. Cornwell's lot to build on. It was moved and seconded that the lodge not buy the lot from Mr. Cornwell, sustained. These brothers could not seem to agree on anything about property, probably because they didn't have any money.
Stated Meeting 23 February 1896 - Brother W.H. Price passed his E.A. examination and was passed to the degree of Fellowcraft.
Stated Meeting 28 March 1896 - After being examined on proficiency in fellowcraft the lodge proceeded to raise Brother W.H. Price to the sublime degree of a Master Mason.
Be it noted here that W.H. Price was considered the top master builder in Midlothian's past. He built the Presbyterian Church, the Chuck Walton house, the Victorian home of E.L. Webb in 1901, Bessie Eden's Victorian home, several brick buildings downtown, and after the 1893 fire that destroyed most of the wooden buildings downtown. He also built the brick home on Mt. Peak Road past the cemetery, W.L. Stevenson's home and many others. He was very active in Masonry until he died in the late 1950's. He also handmade the alter, officers station, benches and matching chairs, the two fellowcraft column bases, the arch and letter in the East. If you look closely, all of this furniture matches and is a priceless heirloom for our lodge. He handmade it with handsaws and hand carpenter tools in 1924. He made every component of a house or building that he built. The doors, windows, staircases, all ornamental work, Victorian trim outside, fireplace mantles, staircase ornamentation, even some features such as china cabinets.
Called Meeting 3 April 1896 was called to pay last respects to Brother W.J. Rhodes the Worshipful Master. The Mansfield Lodge No. 331 was called to assist in Masonic Burial of the beloved and faithful brother.

The Paseo Bridge – which carries three federal highways over the Missouri River at Kansas City, MO – will close for repairs May 17, about two weeks later than originally scheduled, the Missouri Department of Transportation announced Friday, April 8.
However, the delay – which was made at the request of the contractor – will not change the proposed completion date. The state offered the contractor, Clarkson Construction, incentives to finish the work by Nov. 10.
In addition to a new paved surface, the suspension bridge's superstructure will get a fresh coat of blue paint, and the structure will also feature new barrier rails, light poles, hand ropes, bearings and weatherproofing wrap around its cables.
Truckers passing through the area are encouraged to take Interstate 435, a circumferential highway that circles the entire Kansas City metropolitan area. Alternative routes for truckers picking up and delivering in the area can be found at www.kcrivercrossings.org.
The Paseo Bridge carries Interstates 35 and 29 as well as U.S. 71. It carries roughly 95,000 vehicles each day between the north and south halves of Kansas City.

Crack safes or your mind with Safecracker for Wii
Ever wanted to be a professional safecracker? Well, Safecracker for the Wii may not be an educational tool, but it will certainly offer some great puzzles to challenge your sanity this fall. Players take the role of an expert safecracker hired by a rich family to find the late Duncan W. Adams' will. Mr. Adams was eccentric and had an affinity for safes specifically. Before he died he hid the will and the clues to finding it in his 35 safes scattered throughout his home. Players will explore the lavish mansion to find clues, puzzles and safes that lead you toward the will.
Byron Gaum, Global Product Marketing Manager at The Adventure Company said, "With its non-violent, family-oriented gameplay, the whole family can work together to solve challenging puzzles, all while enjoying the scenery of 40 lavish rooms in a luxurious mansion."
The PC game got moderate reviews. Most said that the puzzles were difficult and compelling, but the game suffered from a wisp of a story, lack of exploration outside of the mansion and a continuous looping soundtrack. We can hope the port takes some of this into consideration. However, the challenging puzzles themselves should make the game worthwhile, offering several different types like Sudoku, lasers and Polybius-style puzzles.
Developed by Kheops Studios and produced by DreamCatcher Games and JoWooD Productions, Safecracker is actually a port of the 2006 Windows Puzzle Game of the Year.

We come together during the year
We come together for warmth and good cheer
Easter or Christmas no matter the reason
With family and friends we celebrate the season
There's food and drink and tales to hear
We meet lost relations and spill a tear
We open our hearts and dispel our fears
Mother and daughter or father and son
We come together
We celebrate with those gathered here
We toast to those no longer here
With loved ones around we bask in the sun
Knowing all too soon this time will be done
We cherish those we have near
We come together

SJCC students on the rise despite difficult beginnings
Mohammed Bieder, Marques Hicks and Hayley Leonard have overcome unstable situations at home, an obstacle that made focusing in class difficult.
The San Jose City College students have used their brains, their mental strength, to get ahead.
Bieder had to go through the mourning phases of losing his grandmother. He relied on her for transportation to and from school.
"I used my passion for acting to motivate me and managed to persuade my mother to take me to school," said Bieder, a 15-year-old theater major.
The daily schedule for Leonard, an Early Childhood Educator major, includes caring for her disabled mother. Leonard took advantage of the financial aid program to get into school.
Hicks did not have any money, nor anywhere to live, but he sought and found housing programs and financial aid.
"Yes, my living situation did affect my work. I had to struggle to get it done," Hicks said. "I used willpower to overcome my physical problems."
"People are so negative at times and don't smile. I share my smile with the world and keep a positive outlook on life," Leonard said.
"My greatest accomplishment was making it to college at the age of 14 because I am obligated," Bieder said.
These SJCC students have risen through college despite the harsh conditions because they were mentally determined.
"Maintaining a positive mind state can't bring my grandmother back to life, but it has given me the fortitude, mental and physical strength, to attain my goals," Bieder said.
"I couldn't possibly give my studies 100 percent if I'm thinking 30 percent," Leonard said.
Hicks, 38, was inspired by the words of New York rapper KRS1, who said, "Knowledge is power."

A new business is launching in Jackson which will highlight art and creativity. The business is located at 120 E. Cortland Street. The business is different because art will not be applied on skin but rather on ceramics and canvas.
Trap Ink used to be located at the downtown area but they decided to relocate on Lansing Avenue. A recent business venture which is known as Pop Up and Paint is going to be open for the general public on the morning of September 15.
According to Sydney Davis, the owner of the business, aside from holding paint parties, the place is just basically a lounge. It is where anyone can have a cup of coffee or tea and paint anytime they want to. They can visit and paint with their friends and use it as a chance to hang out or they can do something else that will bring out their creativity.
Davis was able to take part in a paint party at the beginning of this year. She described the experience to be a relaxing one and at the same time empowering. After which, she decided that she wanted to offer the same in the downtown area of Jackson. The paint parties will be available for various events such as corporate team activities, birthday parties, non-profit fundraising events, retirements and bachelorette parties.
Davis is known as Consumer Energy's system design specialist and she was able to work with advisors which gave her an insight on the current market of Jackson. She was able to calculate the interest level of the locals with such business offering. She has parties coming up for the month of September and many of them are already booked.
She added that there are now cat cafes wherein one can enjoy coffee while petting cats therefore she also decided to combine coffee and painting.
There are two different paints available, acrylic and oil. Painting on a ceramic may cost between $5 and $12 and options include picture frames, flower pots and piggy banks. Canvases, on the other hand, cost from $8 to $12. Paint parties for events such as corporate team activities are charged with $35.

|The infamous Kingman pool a few years after the incident noted below
One of these occasions occurred on what was to be a casual night of swimming in Arizona. In hindsight, I would label this incident 50% mother bear syndrome and 50% a turf battle with a lifeguard drill sergeant.
The boys and I were visiting Mom & Dad in Kingman, Arizona. Their cousins from Las Vegas joined us for some relaxed family fun. In the heat of the Arizona summer, the decision was made to enjoy some evening swimming at the local public pool.
In my mind, this should have been an everyday occurrence at the Kingman pool; visitors to their pool who weren't local residents with a pool pass. I quickly found that our arrival was outside their radar screen, or at least outside the radar screen of the lead lifeguard.
With kids in tow, ranging from 4 years to 10 years old, I checked in our crew and we immediately jumped in the pool. A lifeguard dressed in a blue one-piece with a serious blond bob immediately blew her whistle. Confused at our violation, I looked up at her.
She went on to tell me in a very militaristic manner that without a designated pool pin, children were not allowed in the deep water. After my pointing out that the kids could, in fact, stand in the water we were in (3 1/2 feet), she reiterated their rule and that 3 1/2 feet fell under that rule.
Hmmmm. Still confused, but trying to be compliant, I asked how we could acquire the said pins as all children in tow, less the four year-old, were proficient swimmers. My attempt to explain my children's level of swim skills and passed swim levels fell on deaf ears. Her answer to my question, "You'll have to wait for me at the lifeguard stand. Remove the children from the water."
So I begrudgingly did so, but with a slight smile still on my face. As the kids and I longingly watched the other young swimmers enjoy the clear blue chlorinated water, Lifeguard Hilda proceeded to blow her whistle and yell in your megaphone "Everyone out. We are performing a water safety reenactment." As we continued to sit still dripping wet and cold at this point, Hilda carefully watched the other guards fake a drowning and life saving techniques.
A half an hour into this exercise and after the other swimmers were allowed back into the pool, I finally got Hilda's attention. I asked the question again on how we could acquire the desired pool pin. After her lengthy explanation on pin requirements which not only included swimming across the pool and back, but a week grace period of "pool time" in the shallow water (i.e. baby pool).
Now I was pissed. Trying to contain my frustration, I faked a grin and asked calmly, "But, Hilda, we don't live here. We are only in Kingman until tomorrow. Are you suggesting that visitors of less than a week aren't given the opportunity to swim in the main pool?"
Her answer to me "Well, you can swim. They can't, unless they wait the seven day grace period."
Trying not to get visibly angry, I then tried negotiating. Somehow Hilda finally consented to allow Zach, the oldest of my crew, to swim the "across the pool and back" test, but only him. He performed marvelously and was awarded his pin.
Hilda did tell me that the others were allowed in the big pool as long as I held them (due to age, they would not be waived the one week grace period rule). So as I stood in the 3 1/2 foot water, four children clung to me. Like monkeys, they were linked on my back, neck, and hip. All while we watched Zach swim in the deep water and entertain us by jumping off the boards and going down the slide.
My parents showed up at the pool late in the game to wave hello and watch our fun. Mom said she knew right away that there was a problem. Purportedly my nostrils flare and I have a death look in my eye when I'm mad. My now adult children confirm this observation.
I did feel better after telling my pool debacle tale to my mother. Of course, she agreed and sympathized. And then we laughed. It really had to be a comic moment to see me dragging four large children around the pool, mad as heck.
I have always viewed the coveted Zach pin as a trophy of sorts. My win over Lifeguard Hilda. Although Zach earned it, I did claim a bit of ownership myself.
The pin stayed affixed to Zach's swimsuit in the years to come. Neither one of us could part with it. Hilda - 4, Mom - 1. But I least I went down fighting :)
