Spencer Hospital on mission to help children in Afghanistan
(Local News ~ 02/07/09)
It's sometimes easy to forget how important the simple things can be. Gary Knoer, a registered nurse at Spencer Hospital who also serves in the U.S. Army, is currently stationed in Afghanistan. While Gary is making a difference in a big way for citizens in Afghanistan, he's identified a small way that those of us in Spencer can help as well. He recently sent an e-mail to his daughter Christine Mehan, who also works as an RN at the hospital:...

LAOAG CITY, Jan. 15 – A women's group in Sarrat town is behind a collection of functional bags and home decors that were carved out of old newspapers.
The women applied the skills they learned from a paper craft training under the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office livelihood program.
Sarrat Sangguniang Bayan member Vivian Wa-ay said the program aims to provide women an opportunity to earn income using craft and recyclable materials.
"This is very helpful on our part. Not only does this help us financially, it also makes our time worthwhile because we get to earn for our family," Waay said.
Aside from earning cash, the women were also made aware on how to recycle and address problems on solid waste management.
The products made their way to boutique outlets that are housed in a commercial arcade in the capital city.
Back in 2012, a group of women from Baguio City also provided training which has since been replicated among other women in the province. (CHERRY JOY S. DISCAYA)

Following the unveiling of its latest Galaxy Note III S phablet, Samsung has just launched the search for the next big app. This time, the challenge is to develop apps that will take advantage of one of the smartphone's biggest selling feature: the S Pen.
Samsung launched its first Smart App Challenge shortly after it announced its Galaxy S 4 flagship smartphone. While the doors to that contest has already been closed, Samsung is opening a new one that specifically addresses the strengths of its newly announced devices, the Galaxy Note III as well as the refreshed Galaxy Note 10.1. If you haven't seen the devices yet, you can read up on our initial impressions of the Galaxy Note III and the new Galaxy Note 10.1.
For this challenge, Samsung is providing its Samsung Mobile SDK and participants will be required to use either or both of two packages included in the SDK. The "Pen" package includes specialized API for creating S Pen applications while the "Look" package gives UI and additional features also for the S Pen. In case you missed Samsung's announcement of the new Note devices as well as the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, you can catch up with the official recorded video below.
At stake is a $1.1 million cash prize, as well as a Samsung Venture Investment opportunity to have the app promoted through Samsung's channels and events. If you're an Android developer and are interested in being a part of this challenge, you have until November 30 to get your winning entry included.

"Scrooge, or, Marley's Ghost, directed by Walter R. Booth, is the oldest known film adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1843 novel A Christmas Carol – featuring the miserly Ebeneezer Scrooge confronted by Marley's ghost and given by visions of Christmas Past, Present and Future. The film, "although somewhat flat and stage-bound to modern eyes," according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, "was an ambitious undertaking at the time," as, "not only did it attempt to tell an 80 page story in five minutes, but it featured impressive trick effects, superimposing Marley's face over the door knocker and the scenes from his youth over a black curtain in Scrooge's bedroom." It was presented in 'Twelve Tableaux' or scenes and is thought to contain the first ever use of intertitles in a film. (Wikipedia)"

GFS Soccer Camp 2017
GFS Soccer Camp will run from June 12th-16th, 9am-3pm, at the GFS fields. Camp will focus on skill and technique development so, regardless of a player's current skill level, each child will be a better player by the time camp is over. GFS spends a good chunk of time on fundamentals–shooting, passing, ball skills, dribbling, etc.–then play some small-sided games and a big game, every day. So players get a chance to work on skills and then use them in competitive situations. GFS has found this to be an ideal mix and I see a big difference between players at the beginning and end of the week.
This camp is for children entering grades 1-9 in the fall.

The silkiness of their fragile skin
the words they want to say
The confusion in their eyes
my initial pull to walk away
Tender souls full of feelings and dreams
I wonder how much my visit will truly mean
Her stare is dull from the weathered eyes she sees me through
though while showing her pictures of flowers in Spring,
her feelings I suddenly knew
Her look danced from the photo to me, as I felt at that moment
how happy she could be
Her mumble became bit more clear
as her lips they tried to convey
what her heart was feeling
in her own special way
I listened ever so closely for the word she tried to form
knowing deep inside I longed
to quiet her internal storm
Praying for ease so she wouldn't have to say it twice
then overjoyed by the gentle sound
when I heard her whisper "nice"
My belief is now confirmed of the awareness that lies within
as one struggles towards the end of Life.......to simply let someone in
Post Inspiration
This week at work I was blessed to have an experience that both warmed and broke my heart. Words for a blog post bounced around in my head, to capture all I felt. It was heartwarming and uncomfortable, tender and humbling.
Though it brought a tear to my eye, I was reminded of the importance to sometimes put others before our own discomfort......Easing someone else's pain, can allow healing within us too.

Gorgeous. The cowl, the outfit, the photos, woosh. Very well-composed. I like that the cowl is the only color in this, while everything else is like an exhibit wall for it, all black and very neat and smooth - except for the slightly-slouchy armwarmers, which goes with the chunkiness of the cowl. What a great fall look, I'm in love.

The news spread like wildfire across the globe. Man's purpose had been found, and that purpose was to glorify God.
The artists leapt for joy. They were vindicated at last! They were not idlers at all—they merely had years of experience at glorifying God each in their own way.
They all set to work. Singers sang songs, painters painted paintings, writers wrote writings, sculptors sculpted sculptures, speakers spoke speeches, all of them in a newfound fervor of purpose.
And with all the practice they had to put into it, they all got very good at what they did. Most of them did, at least. Some of them only got good, and some of them barely got better at all. And so the artists gradually became critics.
Not mean-spirited critics of course. Not at first. They simply pointed out that so-and-so did an excellent job of glorifying God over here, and that such-and-such could glorify him ever so much more if such-and-such would just make this little change…ah, much better.
Of course there were disagreements. Did this glorify God, or did that? And if so, why? And how? And suggestions began to pop up. And then strong suggestions. And then rules. Like, "Whosoever plays a note off key does so to the deglorification of God," and "Thou shalt not use the Oxford comma," and many more besides.
The artists began to pride themselves in their knowledge and mastery of these rules. Festivals sprung up to celebrate the man's finest efforts at glorifying God, and the greatest in each field were lauded for their works.
And at one of these festivals, there was a little girl. She wasn't an artist. She wasn't a sculptor or a musician or a writer or a painter or a chef or a speaker or a preacher or a singer or a dancer or a pipe-cleaner diorama maker. She wasn't anyone. Just a little girl, no older than nine.
And that little girl said something. Or perhaps she sang something. Nobody remembers. Nobody remembers because nobody heard it happen. Whatever she said or did or made was too quiet, too small, too insignificant for anyone to notice, like the hollow plink of a widow's last coin plinking into an offering basket. Even she could not hear herself over the atmosphere of self-congratulation.
The little girl did not think long about what she had done, and had quite forgotten it by the next day. She grew old, and never became famous or renowned, never did anything of note, never married, and had few friends. She came to her deathbed quiet and alone, and passed over with no ceremony or fanfare.
God came to her then. As she stepped into his warm embrace, he told her, "As a little girl, you once said something. Nobody heard you, nobody but me. And nobody has ever glorified me as much as you did then."
I wish knew what she said, that little girl. I saw her, but I don't even remember her name. I was there, you see, that gathering of the artists. But I didn't hear her. I was too busy writing this story. For you. For me.

First things first… and I won't sugar-coat it: I don't like, or 'do', cupcakes. I find them ridiculously cutesy, overly trendy, and just a touch passé. (I know, *gasp*.) I've heard in recent months that they're kinda going out of style, thanks to cronuts, doughnuts, whoopie pies, mini pies, and the like… and frankly, I say "good riddance". If I'm going to bake a cake, I want to put all of my effort into a triple-decker layer cake with luscious, buttery frosting. Or better yet, a PIE – or pastry of any kind. No disrespect meant to those bakers who love making cupcakes – or even have a business in them. It's just a preference of mine.
I suppose it doesn't help that a baking job of mine a couple years ago had me responsible for making a majority of the jumbo cupcakes the restaurant was – and still is – overly famous for (and their recipe is darn good, I will say). I just got tired of them. I was the day baker – and the day bakers were responsible for churning out the cupcakes, while the night bakers dabbled in the pies and cakes I would have preferred to create. I wanted the day schedule, so I guess I couldn't rightly complain to my kind boss that I was baking something I really didn't like all too much. Still, when I finally had to leave the job, I recall writing many a Facebook status update in which I rejoiced that I didn't have to make the darn things any more!
But – enough of my cupcake grouchiness. Looking at these photos, I suppose I can't help but feel a slight smile encroach upon my face.
All of this being confessed, if I were pressed to make a chocolate cupcake, chances are I would willingly fall back on Baked's Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes, this week's Baked Sunday Mornings assignment. They're tender and light with a moist crumb – a little subtle on the chocolate flavor because they do not include salt in the ingredients, but not as bland as the Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins I posted about a couple weeks ago. Best of all is that they are amazingly simple. They're a workhorse recipe for any baker – from amateur to professional. They really don't take a great amount of effort, and they're just a darn good cupcake to make, whether you're a cupcake naysayer like yours truly or not.
Dark chocolate and dark cocoa powder are first mixed with boiling hot water; this is gradually added along with the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda) to a creamed base mixture of mayonnaise, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla. I always find those chocolate cake recipes which start with cocoa mixed with boiling water or hot coffee to be the most magical. I'm not sure what the alchemy is exactly, but chances are pretty good you will end up with a moist, dense cake – especially if the fat is an oil of some kind. This recipe does not contain butter as the primary fat – the mayonnaise does that, providing a nice, delicate richness and softness to the cake. If you're not a mayo fan, don't let this recipe detract you, as you do not taste it in the finished product. I strongly suggest using Hellmann's mayonnaise – not only in this recipe, but any recipe calling for mayo. I'm a bit snobbish when it comes to mayo; I just think Hellmann's holds up and tastes the best. I know plenty of folks who find mayonnaise a little gross; I love it. I slather it on sandwiches, and yes – it's good in baked goods. (You would be more likely to see me eating a spoonful of mayo than that icky mud called Nutella!)
For the frosting crowning these cupcakes, I made the standard chocolate buttercream accompanying this recipe, which is slightly different from Baked's other buttercream recipes in that it doesn't begin with a cooked milk and flour mixture. Instead, you're just dealing with butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and melted chocolate. Pretty simple, and pleasantly rich enough without being too rich. The frosting suits these cupcakes nicely.
I decided to finally test out another frosting recipe which caught my eye a couple years ago – Jill O'Connor's Caramel-Butterscotch Buttercream from her book, Sticky Chewy Messy Gooey. She tops her own Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes with this delectable frosting, and as I am a huge caramel and butterscotch fan, I knew that I finally needed to attempt this frosting as I prepped Baked's cupcakes. The recipe takes a little bit of effort – it involves making a caramel sauce, cooking/whisking whole eggs with dark brown sugar in a mixing bowl over simmering water, then whipping them up nice and foamy (almost like a meringue) as you slowly add in chunks of soft but cold butter. Finally, you add a touch of vanilla, salt, and bourbon, and finish by folding in a bit of the cooled caramel sauce. You definitely work for this frosting, but let me tell you: it is AMAZING. I'm seriously not a huge frosting fan, but I could eat this frosting with a spoon out of the mixing bowl. It's just that good. I halved the recipe from the book; a full recipe makes 5 cups frosting and uses 6 sticks of butter and a half dozen eggs! Crazy, right? Honestly, though… if you like caramel and butterscotch, you really owe it to yourself to make this frosting as soon as you get a chance to. Seriously. So good. And on these cupcakes, it was divine. The cupcakes themselves do not contain any salt to bump the chocolate flavor too much, but topped with a swirled crown of this buttercream, the entire flavor profile is really kicked up a notch. It's buttery, a little salty, ever-so-slightly kissed by that bit of bourbon (which you need for that 'butterscotch' component), and rounded out with the warm caramel notes… dangerously yummy.
By the way, I yielded about 32 cupcakes with this recipe; the recipe states that you should yield about 2 dozen. Rejoice! You have some extras to snack on or share! I took a bunch to the theatre where I am in a current production of Geoffrey Nauffts' play, Next Fall (running through October 25th at Soulstice Theatre; for tickets and details, visit the Theatrical Tendencies website! Shameless self-promotion there…) The cast loved them – especially the cupcakes with the caramel-butterscotch buttercream. Not too surprised.
If you are "meh" on cupcakes like I typically am, chances are you may be won over by these treats. Or, if you are just looking for a simple, but delicious cupcake recipe to whip up for your parties or family gatherings, these are worth filing away in your recipes. Make your own – and read on for my fellow BSM bakers' results with these – by following this link:
… and if you're intrigued by the intricate Caramel-Butterscotch Buttercream recipe, here's a link with the recipe, courtesy of Leite's Culinara (with Jill O'Connor's own Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcake recipe):

Lastly – New York City was fantastic! Matt and Renato were charming – as always – and it was so nice to catch up with them. It was especially wonderful to meet some of the Baked testers who made the trip (quite a few of them Baked Sunday Mornings bakers). It was a blast getting to know one another. Delightful people, all of them – fantastic new friends! The new Baked TriBeCa space is going to be amazing (they're still finishing up on construction; nonetheless, the party was still held – yummy treats, great conversation, photos, music, burlesque dancers and all)! Check out a few of my photos below. And while you're at it, you may want to head on over to Amazon and order your copy of Baked Occasions. After all, you know one of the "Badass Recipe Testers"!
Happy Baking!

First Baltimore Celebrates Bicentennial of its Founding in February
The First Unitarian Church of Baltimore is observing the bicentennial of its founding on February 10, 1817, in a weekend-long celebration on February 10-12, 2017. First Unitarian is the oldest building in North America built to be and continuously used as a Unitarian church. This Maximilian Godefroy masterpiece of French Neo-Classical design was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1972.
The kickoff of the Bicentennial Weekend will begin with a ceremony honoring church founder Henry Payson at Payson's final resting place in Westminster Burying Grounds (519 W. Fayette Street) at 2 p.m. on Friday, February 10 (2-4 pm), including a graveside reading and brief tour of the burying grounds. The gathering will then proceed to the church (12 W. Franklin Street), located at the corner of Charles and Franklin Streets, where a banner proclaiming the bicentennial will be unfurled. Refreshments will be offered afterward in the Enoch Pratt Parish Hall, 514 N. Charles Street. The event is open to the public.
On Saturday, February 11 (9 am- 3 pm), the church's Peace and Justice Ministry will lead a Bicentennial Weekend community service and learning event at Dayspring (1125 N. Patterson Park Avenue), our partner organization in East Baltimore. Dayspring provides housing, substance abuse treatment, and support services to women and their children who have experienced homelessness. Volunteers will carry out routine maintenance projects to refurbish the facility. City and state elected officials have been invited to attend, both to learn about Dayspring and to witness the difference a small group of people can make.
On Sunday, February 12 (2 pm-5 pm), a special Bicentennial Service and Reception will be held. The service will take place in the Church sanctuary and it will be led by the Rev. Peter Morales, President of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Afterwards, a festive reception will take place a few blocks away at the Engineers Club (11 W. Mount Vernon Place), including live music by the New Wave Singers, light refreshments, and commemorative gifts. The service is open to the public. Tickets ($50) to the reception, a fundraiser to help preserve the church's history and heritage for future generations, can be purchased at firstunitarian.net.
First Unitarian will mark two additional bicentennials in 2018 and 2019: the dedication of the Church on October 29, 1818, and the landmark sermon delivered on May 5, 1819, by the Rev. William Ellery Channing at the ordination of First Unitarian's first minister, Jared Sparks. The sermon, which defined the essence of Unitarianism in the United States and led to the formation of the denomination in 1825, has come to be known as the Baltimore Sermon. Channing emphasized freedom, reason and tolerance and taught that the way we live is more important than the words and symbols we use to describe our faith, a truth that has inspired a commitment to social justice along with theological diversity.
Members of The First Unitarian Church of Baltimore embrace social action, including racial and economic justice, bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender equality, and environmental issues. Historically, its members have provided civic leadership in Baltimore and have led cultural and progressive causes. Past and present members include George Peabody, founder of the Peabody Conservatory, Enoch Pratt, founder of Baltimore's free library system, George Washington Burnap, a founder of the Maryland Historical Society, Mary Ellen Richmond, a pioneer in the field of professional social work and philanthropy, Judge Thomas J. Morris and Theodore Marburg, peace advocates in the early twentieth century, and Charles Blackburn, one of the lead plaintiffs in the suit for marriage equality in Maryland.

"On earth I ask no more than to find a place in your heart. I think as a general thing girls have good hearts, but let that be true or not true, I ask for no better home here below than in yours to dwell, for this would be the very quintessence of earthly happiness." —George Smith to Mollie Byars, 1889
Over 250 pages of letters exchanged between George Smith, a Baptist preacher from Princeton, Arkansas and Mollie Byars, a Methodist schoolteacher from Pittsboro, Mississippi, were rediscovered by their great-granddaughter in the summer of 2015.
Written between July 1889 to May 1890, these courtship letters reveal the beginnings of a mutual love and respect which would last throughout their lifetime together. Interwoven among the exchanges between George and Mollie are detailed narratives of events in their homes and communities that give rare, first-person accounts of the rural South in the late 19th century.
In an age where much of the correspondence is now digital, it is gratifying to become immersed in their writings and to remember a time, not very long ago, when the arrival of a letter addressed with a loved one's handwriting brought so much excitement and joy.
My Own Precious One retails for $20 per copy and is available for purchase at the Dallas County Museum at 221 North Main Street, Fordyce, Arkansas 71742.

Tattoo Aftercare
- Keep your bandage on overnight.
- In the morning, take the bandage off and wash your tattoo with warm water and a mild soap. No scented or medicated soap. Wash your tattoo gently by hand. Do not scrub. Do not bathe or soak your tattoo for at least 2 weeks. Shower only.
- After washing, pat your tattoo dry with a clean towel.
- Repeat Step 2, washing your tattoo in the morning for the next two days gently by hand with mild soap. Pat it dry.
- Do not lotion your tattoo until the 3rd day after you got it. This will give your tattoo a chance to heal naturally and form a scab. Keep your tattoo clean; do not let anyone touch your tattoo. Keep it away from anything harmful or dirty.
- On the 3rd day, start applying a small amount of lotion. 'After Inked' lotion is recommended, however unscented, plain, Lubriderm or Aveeno will do in a crunch. Do not listen to any "tattoo experts" out there! Only trust and listen to your Ink-Tegrity artist. When applying the lotion, start with a small amount, evenly applying it to your whole tattoo, until the lotion is absorbed and disappears. Apply the lotion 3 times a day (Morning, Noon, and Night) for the first week. On the second and third week, apply the lotion 5 times a day (Morning, Noon, and Night, and a couple of times in between).
- If for any reason you are experiencing any problems with your tattoo, please contact us. Sometimes taking a multivitamin, or Zinc will help boost your immune system and help counteract any reactions you may be having. If it is serious consult a physician immediately. Do not wait in either case
- If touch ups are needed, you have 3 months after your tattoo is done to consult your artist about getting them done. Please meet and consult with your artist first, and then book an available time for the touch up to be done.
Remember to keep your tattoo clean at all times!
- Bathtubs
- Saunas
- Swimming pools
- Jacuzzis
*Shower only for the first 3 weeks
- Pick your scab!
- Let anyone touch your tattoo!
- Listen to people who think they are experts!
- Expose your tattoo to sunlight, or tanning beds for the first 3 weeks during healing.
*Applying sunscreen after it is healed will preserve the colour of your tattoo, during the summer months.
Thank you and enjoy your tattoo!

Our Piercings
Piercing Aftercare
The time required for a piercing to fully heal varies but in most jewellery cases the jewellery should remain and intact and undisturbed for approximately 3–6 months depending on the location of the piercing and your personal healing rate. If your piercing must be removed earlier for medical reasons have a trained professional conduct the procedure to ensure that you do not lose your piercing.
Proper cleaning and hygiene reduce the risk of infection from occurring but some common problems may arise if:
- Your piercing is not completed in a sterile hygienic environment.
- Dirty hands or saliva touching the piercing before it is healed.
- Using improper cleansing solutions which may damage the piercing.
- Using cheap unsterile jewelry.
- Daily hygiene aftercare is not performed.
- "Playing" with your jewellery before it is healed.
Please be advised that we at Ink-Tegrity Tattoo Studio are not physicians and if complications shall arise we advise that you seek medical care from your physician.
We suggest that you use a mild, fragrance-free liquid antibacterial/germicidal medicated soap and distilled water for cleansing. Try to avoid liquid soaps with the active ingredient Triclosan (Dial) which are more damaging to new skin cell formation and will affect the healing of your new piercing.
Sea salt soaks are highly recommended at least once a day to accelerate healing and reduce discomfort of your piercing. Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt into one cup (8 ounces) of warm distilled water in a clean cup. The concentration of the seal salt solution is important, if the solution is too strong (too much salt) then it may burn your piercing and cause more harm than good and if the solution is too weak, you may not experience the benefits of the seal salt soak.
Soak a sterile gauze pad in the salt solution and apply to the pierced area for at least 10 minutes. Next rinse the piercing with distilled water and pat dry with a paper towel. This procedure should be done on a daily basis and additional soaks can be brief (a minute) followed by the rinse and pat dry.
Sea salt soaks help to promote air and blood circulation to aid in the healing process. We advise that sea salt soaks be completed before any sort of physical activity. The soak will prevent crusts that naturally form being pulled into the piercing as movement occurs.
Body piercings can require cleansing on a daily basis for the entire healing period. Do not over-clean, this may irritate your piercing and delay the healing process. If you can only clean your piercing daily, clean it at the end of your day and the frequency will depend on skin sensitivity, activity level and environmental factors.
Before cleansing your piercing ensure your hands are clean. Wash your hands thoroughly with a liquid antibacterial soap and warm water. Never touch your piercing with dirty hands; this is a common route leading to infection.
To prepare your piercing for cleansing rinse your piercing with warm water and be sure to gently remove any stubborn crusts using a cotton swab and warm water. Do not pick at the crusts with your fingernails, our fingernails house bacteria and although you've washed your hands you can never be too careful. Apply a small amount of your cleanser to your piercing area, cleanse your piercing area and jewellery, you do not need to rotate your jewellery for cleansing. Cleanse for a minute and then rinse the area with running luke warm water to completely remove all the cleanser from your piercing. Gently pat dry with a paper towel or gauze.
Remember to be patient with your piercing; everyone heals at a different rate so healing times will vary considerably. Remember to seek professional care from your physician if your piercing becomes infected, highly swollen and/or painful beyond the normal threshold. We at Ink-Tegrity Tattoo Studio are always available for support or advice regarding your new piercing.
- Wash your hands prior to cleansing or contact with your piercing.
- Leave your piercing alone for the healing process except for when cleansing.
- Leave your starter jewellery in for the entire healing process. Jewellery should only be switched by a trained professional in a hygienic environment using sterile equipment. If you like your piercing then leave your jewellery in at all times. Decorative accents (captive bead/ball) can be switched at any time but the main piercing hardware must remain.
- If you must remove your piercing for medical purposes then contact your piercer. A microfilament nylon or non-metallic tool can be inserted until the jewellery can be reinserted.
- Consider where you sleep! Make sure Your bedding is clean and changed frequently.
- Wear a comfortable, breathable fabric on the pierced area.
- Opt for a shower over a bath for the sake of your piercing.
- If your piercing becomes infected see your physician for treatment and leave your jewellery in to create drainage for the pus unless removal is advised by your physician. Removal of jewellery will cause the hole to close creating a pus filled abscess which will require drainage.
- Living a stress-free, healthy lifestyle will help promote the healing of your piercing.
Bleeding, bruising, discolouration and/or swelling at the site of the piercing are not uncommon. For piercings above the neck area sleep with your head propped up to help reduce the amount of overnight swelling. Try to avoid or reduce the intake of acetaminophen containing pain relievers, alcohol and caffeine. For pain relief or reduction of swelling ibuprofen pain relievers are suggested.
Your piercing will be tender and cause some discomfort, this is not usual. You may feel stinging, burning and/or aching at the site of your piercing for several days.
During your healing process there may be some itching and fluid secretion consisting of blood plasma, lymphocytes (white blood cells) and dead cells. The fluid is fairly liquid and is a whitish-yellow colour. This fluid is what forms the crust on the jewellery at the piercing openings. Once healed your piercing may secrete a semi-solid white malodorous substance from the oil glands, this is normal and indicates healing of your piercing.
Remember that the healing process of a piercing may take anywhere form 3–6 months depending on the site of your piercing and is not considered seasoned until after a year. Tightness is normal and don't expect your jewellery to sing freely, even after it is fully healed. Even though your piercing may look fully healed abide by these general guidelines to help ensure that your piercing remains intact and healthy.

Last week I turned 25, which is an age I am quite happy about. Normally when my birthday comes around, I dread the fact I am getting one year older, but not this year, I am quite happy to turn 25 and just have a general good feeling about this age!
To mark this occasion on my blog I thought it would be nice to do a sort of 'get to know me' style post, sharing 25 facts about me that you may not know already...
More things I like..
12. My favourite colour is pink, you will notice I tend to wear a lot of pink and my Instagram theme definitely gravitates to pink more often than usual.
13. Bradley Cooper is my ultimate celeb crush, he is so dreamy.
14. I am obsessed with all things Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes, definitely my two guilty pleasures.
15. I am also pretty obsessed with Ariana Grande. She is the queen and I think she is such a huge inspiration to all women.
Things I don't like...
16. I have a blood disorder called Hereditary Spherocytosis, which basically means that my blood cells are a different shape to normal peoples. I take medication ever day for this. It doesn't really affect my life all that much, but I just tend to get run down more easily.
17. I have a huge phobia of needles and blood in general, which isn't great since I have a blood disorder and have to have my blood taken once a year, I honestly hate it so much.
18. Unfortunately, I am not an animal lover. I promise I am not heartless but I am actually just scared of most animals, especially cats and dogs. I have honestly tried to get over this over the years but I really just don't like them either. If someone shows me a cute animal pic, it is most likely that I won't find it cute and I have to pretend - SOZ FRIENDS. I honestly think it is a physiological thing that has stuck with me since I was really young.
19. I hate condiments. I hate mayonnaise, salad cream, tomato sauce, brown sauce, salad dressing, you name it. I just hate the taste and cannot deal with the consistency or texture of them, yuck! I know I am weird and super fussy!
20. Online shopping is not my favourite. I love shopping but I am just not the biggest fan of online shopping. I find it the most annoying thing when everything you ordered doesn't fit or looks nothing like the picture online. I must prefer having a browse around the shops myself. Anyone else?
22. I wear eyeliner ever single day. I never leave the house without it and I now think my face looks strange if I don't put it on since I have been doing it for so long.
23. I have the smallest tattoo on my left wrist of a half moon. It may be small but I love it so much.
24. I used to have a Nanny Mcphee tooth when I was about 9 years old, no joke. I got bullied for it and my mum had to beg the dentist to remove it for me. LOLZ.
25. My dream holiday destination's would have to be either Bali or the Maldives.
So, there you have it. 25 facts about me. I must admit I did find it hard to think of so many, hopefully they weren't too boring and you learned something new about me!
Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday.

Via Reuters, some news that shouldn't much surprise anyone:
About one tenth of China's farmland is polluted by lead, zinc and other heavy metals to "striking" levels exceeding official limits, a government expert said according to reports on Monday.
Wan Bentai, the chief engineer for China's Ministry of Environmental Protection, said a survey of soil pollutants this year found heavy metal from smelter chimneys, water run-off and tailings meant "in total about 10 percent of farmland has striking problems of heavy metal levels exceeding (government) limits," the Southern Metropolitan Daily reported.
The Chinese government estimates the country has 1.22 million square kilometers of farmland, and says protecting that land is a priority. But many rural areas support smelters and foundries that spill pollution into soil and water supplies.
China's environment ministry has called for urgent measures to tackle heavy metal poisoning. But Beijing has often failed to match vows to tackle polluters with the resources and will to enforce such demands, and local officials often put growth, revenue and jobs ahead of environmental standards.
And why would Beijing actually try to tackle this one? They're eating safe food delivered from organic farms, this isn't really even an issue for them.

The Williamsburg Lodge informed us last Thursday that all sleeping rooms booked by BITM attendees would no longer be available to our group due to renovation issues and all guests would be moved to the Woodlands Hotel. Considering the complicated logistics of our conference, the best option presented to us is to proceed using the Woodlands Conference Center for the entire event. We are very disappointed by this last minute notification and displacement but are committed to providing the same excellent standards we have set for Beginning in the Middle since 1998.
Guests with Lodge reservations will be contacted directly by the Lodge staff with room reassignments to the Woodlands.

Alexander Korda(1893-1956), Film producer
Sir Alexander Korda (Alexander Laszlo Kellner)
Sitter in 13 portraits
Born in Hungary, Korda made films in Vienna, Paris, Berlin and Hollywood before moving to Britain in 1931. The following year he founded London Films and began working on The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933). The film turned Korda into the leading figure in the British film industry. With funding from the Prudential Insurance, Korda built the Denham Studios, which later part of the Rank Organisation. He made many successful films there: Rembrandt (1936), The Four Feathers (1939), The Thief of Bagdad (1940) and The Third Man (1949). The Alexander Korda Award for 'Outstanding British Film of the Year' is given in his honour by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

In many states, a person convicted of drunk driving may have to go through impaired driving school which educates the individual on the dangers of driving while intoxicated. Often, the impaired driving school also screens individuals who may have an alcohol or drug dependency and then the program tries to provide help. But, too often the programs are not long enough or are unaffordable for people who really need the assistance. A recent study suggests that many people convicted of DWI have a long history of risky drinking habits and therefore would benefit greatly from a program that would genuinely treat their needs.
The lead author of the study says that a drinking and driving conviction identifies a person at risk. The study undertook and examined interviews with 700 adults who had been convicted of a drunk driving charge. The researchers found that almost half of the adults convicted of DWI had a long history of heavy drinking and that between 20 to 30 percent of the adults who identified as chronic drinkers met the definitions for alcohol or drug dependence or definitions for mental health conditions for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
According to an interview with Reuters, the study's author said education programs too often undertreat the underlying problems that lead to a drinking and driving conviction. Many people convicted of DWI underestimate their problem and others who want help frequently do not have the money to continue treatment beyond what is required.
The researcher's study asked participants about their lifetime drinking patterns. A man's drinking behavior was identified as risky if he drank five or more drinks in a day or more than 14 drinks per week. A woman's drinking behavior was identified as risky if she drank more than seven drinks per week or four or more drinks in a day.

"Insider Speaks"
Dealing With Active Shooters in Your Club and Elsewhere
- For this article, Log In to:
- View eVersion | Download PDF
Since the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, our beautiful America has also been hit by a series of warlike efforts including bombings overseas and even in the U.S. Then came 9/11/2001 when the World Trade Centers came down, and it became clear that America had a real fight on its hands with lunatics. Since then, and in particular for the last two to three years, Americans and people around the world have become subject to attacks of all kinds in all kinds of places... with the latest ISIS attack in Paris, France and then just this month with the ISIS-inspired San Bernadino, California massacre.
Our future... YOUR future and the future of your family will depend in the long run on how our leaders react. So, if you feel helpless waiting for our leaders to react appropriately, then consider this: You and I don't have to wait to see how America's leaders are going to react. And, in particular, I would like to urge each of you who own a club, or clubs, to seriously consider preparing for what might be coming your way. Here are two ways you can prepare:
- 1. On December 11th, over 800 people attended what was called an "Active Shooter Seminar" here in Marietta, Georgia, in which members of the Police Department taught the attendees what they can do to avoid being a victim of an Active Shooting Event. And, I am sure many more Active Shooter Seminars will spring up all over America. So, when you see news about an Active Shooting Seminar, go there and learn what you can to save yourself and your family in such an event.
- 2. For yourself, your family, your club staff and your members and guests, you should give serious thought to preparing yourself to deal with an Active Shooter in your club. This could take the form of arming yourself, depending on local laws. Before arming yourself, obtain guidance on appropriate weapons from professionals. Then, make sure that you take appropriate training to handle a weapon in the sad and dangerous event of an Active Shooting inside the doors of your club. Arming is a decision one must make personally.
Truth be told, I simply could not allow myself to go on any longer without suggesting these things to you readers for your consideration because you all are so very important to us in our lives. Trust me when I say that, should something happen to any of you with respect to an Active Shooter, and you turn out to be unprepared, I will only be able to wish I'd written this for you sooner to convince you that you needed to do something to prepare to defend yourself, your staff and your members in the event of an Active Shooting actually happening in your club.

Too. Much. Meat.
Blinded by the never-disappointing Dominos pizza creations, somehow I missed the auxiliary menu…until now! Besides the Shrimp-Mayo With Random Broccoli Sub, Dominos proudly presents the Too Much Meat. (Vegetarians, this would be a good time to go organize your sock drawer.) The frighteningly Terducken-like Too Much Meat Sub is stacked high with not one, but TWO kinds of sausage, roast chicken, pepperoni, roast ham, sliced bacon, and pancetta.

This month's announcement of the recent Anthem Data Breach sent shockwaves through the health care industry with some experts referring to 2015 as the "year of the health care hack." Those who collect and store health data have been racing to strengthen security protocols and to understand their risk exposure. In a first-of-its-kind case in the Fifth Circuit, the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas determined that a patient cannot bring a claim against a hospital for the potential damages she would face as a result of a data breach that included her health information.
The Case
The class action lawsuit was brought by a former patient of the defendant-hospital whose information was part of a 2013 data breach of the hospital's network. The plaintiff in the case alleged violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (a federal statute) as well as state law claims. The plaintiff alleged of multiple incidents where her data had been used to breach her online email and shopping accounts, as well as direct solicitations to her via mail, phone and email.
Defendants moved to dismiss, arguing that these incidents present no actual damage from which the plaintiff could recover and that in fact such allegations impermissibly seek judgment for the threat of future harm.
The key question for the court was whether the Plaintiff had standing to bring a claim – that is, whether she had suffered the type of injury that permits her to bring a claim. The court found that she lacked standing for her federal claims and therefore dismissed them. Relying on cases from other federal circuits, the Plaintiff responded that the data breach put her at specific risk of "real and impending" identity fraud or theft.
The Decision
The Court found it had no authority to hear the plaintiff's case "unless and until" her theories of increased risk actually result in harm. Though fraud and identity theft may occur using the information gained from the breach, absent an actual incident causing her harm, there is simply no legal basis for her claim. The Plaintiff's case, the court found, is essentially one seeking relief for "future injuries" and such a basis has been roundly rejected by the Supreme Court of the United States. Importantly, the caselaw from other federal Circuits that the Plaintiff attempted to rely on had been overruled by the Supreme Court's decision in Clapper v. Amnesty International et al.
Health Care Takeaway
Health care providers use of information is transforming the provision of health care as this innovation brings new risks and opportunities. Strategic minded providers conscious of patient privacy should proactively adopt policies to address all forms of information that are collected and stored in the clinical practice and administration of health care services. Information needing specific protections can range from financial information to patient information, to emerging "big data" operations for population health management or accountable care organizations. Forward-thinking providers should have in place strong up to date policies and contractual protections with their information technology vendors to protect all types of sensitive information, prevent security breaches and avoid unnecessary litigation.

Collaborative Projects
Under Collaborative Projects we present extraordinary student works that were developed after a workshop in the Museum Tinguely and finished in the respective institute as an integral part of their projects.
First Year Visual Arts Practice students from the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology engaging in project work at the Jean Tinguely Museum, Basel, Switzerland 2012
The School of Creative Arts is one of three schools located in the Institute of Art, Design and Technology.
The drawing machine project is one of the key projects designed to introduce the student to the skill base required for developing and processing ideas from a 2D plan towards a 3D outcome.
As a component of the drawing machine project a field trip to the Tinguely Museum was organized. The museum was chosen as it is a unique repository of kinetic and experimental artworks that explore 3-d time based, non- object making and process based practices, which are relevant to the experimental nature and design of the course projects operating on the 1st year BA in Visual Arts Practice. Of particular interest are the crossover possibilities between art /architecture/ spatial design and material design.
On completion of the drawing machine project it was clearly evident the impact the field trip had had on the students as demonstrated by the quality and diversity of work they produced.

Hard right Republican and Speaker of the House John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have had enough of the TEA Party that Steve Daines is so desperate to appease.
…this war has been brewing for months. Following the government shutdown, establishment Republicans have made it clear they're done cowing to tea party groups, and the tension has bubbled up from there. In early November, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell began speaking out against the sort of far-right groups that were targeting him in his tough re-election race for not being conservative enough. They "mislead for profit," he told the Wall Street Journal.
This week, Boehner took up McConnell's specter, declaring that the tea party groups are "using our members, and they're using the American people for their own goals."
Perhaps it's time for Steve Daines to do some serious soul-searching about which Republican Party he belongs to. When the likes of Boehner and McConnell are realizing the insane policy goals driven by the TEA Party, it's probably not time for Daines to go full TEApublican.
I think that Congressional candidate Matt Rosendale might have some fickle friends on Facebook—or perhaps not all of them are genuine. Despite having 17,000 "likes" on his Facebook page, Rosendale's last post, about the Murray-Ryan budget deal, received an anemic 2 likes. I'd hate to suggest that Mr. Rosendale has artificially ginned up support for himself on Facebook, but the alternative might just be that no on really likes him.
More tone deaf responses to sexual assault from the university system is making the news in the Bozeman Magpie. Writing about MSU Dean of Students Matt Caires, Blake Maxwell writes, "Three months later, and Matt Caires has chosen to ignore the MSU Police Department's findings, hanging the blame on hard alcohol and, evidently, the young women who consume it."
By now, many of you have probably read about yet another example of the inequality in the American justice system coming from the great state of Texas. Ethan Couch, a sixteen year old from a wealthy family, killed four and badly injured two others after a night of drinking. Instead of a prison sentence, he was sent to treatment, after his defense successfully argued that he suffered from "affluenza," a grave disease afflicting the wealthy that prevents them from being responsible for their actions. While I am not one likely to support harsh criminal penalties in most cases, one can only imagine what kind of sentence others would have received in the same circumstances.
It's been two days since former Republican John Bohlinger has announced yet another statewide race he plans to run/coordinate as he pursues the Senate seat. I can't wait for Monday.

Let's begin with an exercise:
Tina Fey, Hilary Clinton, Whoopie Goldberg, Jennifer Lawrence, Ruby Rose, Diana Keaton.
Here is set of strong independent popular modern women, so pick the odd one out: Who is not a lady?
I Really Cannot. Who Is A Lady After All?
A lady is a mythical creature with four limbs and a pretty smile, who can cook and clean like she was born to do, wears modest hemlines that don't provoke the good boys.
She never complains, never raises her voice, is generous, polite, kind like the Oxford dictionary defines she should be. She respects. She is the cool girl, the mother woman, the successful entrepreneur, the walking goddess out to conquer the world with her winning charm.
She has a high moral character, she is a little more of an Austenean Elizabeth than a Shakespearean Cleopatra.
She also has table manners, is hairless like a baby and sports a vagina capable of pushing more tiny humans out whether she likes it or not.
Or that is what 80% of the women on earth are differentially brought up to believe.
I say, Never Shave Your Armpits.
Even building that superset of modern women is a dangerously ignorant maneuver.
Of the many things that might unnerve you about how to be a presentable woman, body hair becomes an implicit controversy. It, therefore, looks like an enormous statement of to-hell-with-your-patriarchal-standards-of-beauty when a celebrity like Miley Cyrus dyes her armpit hair pink. A feminist stand for homeless youth.
Regardless of the nitty gritty, would our society really classify the likes of her, Lady Gaga or Nicki Minaj along with Michelle Obama and Kate Middleton as 'ladies'? Will we be gracious to accept Kim Kardashian as much a lady as Julia Roberts in a heartbeat?
If we were to take a cue from Pretty Woman, are good manners and high culture simply enough to delineate someone as a lady in our common imagination? Or has feminism supplied us with fresh equalizers yet?
Read More: This Is Why Mira Rajput Was So Careless With Her Puppy Comment
Team Diana vs Team Kate: Which One is You?
Okay, let me make it clearer with an example, the whole conundrum about Lady Diana and Kate Middleton. For starters, we know beautiful Diana as Lady or Princess as a naturalized first name for her. We don't call Kate, Lady Kate, but yes she is often referred to as the Duchess of Cambridge. All this time and yet, royalty isn't intrinsic to her popular identity.
Why the comparison and distinction? Even though I understand that the historical legacy and the contemporary media operates with a fluidity we ought not to simply complain against, I think it is a very good example of how we take two perfectly marvelous women in time and try to pick on the essential incongruities lending them their brilliance in order to homogenize what they should symbolize. Here, a perfect lady in line to the throne.
Ladyship is Privileged.
Ladyship becomes a very sensitive space even in our everyday world without our realizing it. Feminism has chronically failed to equalize women within their own discourse by always homogenizing or radically deconstructing womanhood.
We ourselves are not very sure what being a woman really means. The notion remains as classist as ever and depends heavily on visibility.
Sorry, nobody cares about the Virgin Mary you are at heart if you have bad breath.
It is, therefore, a projection. There is no one right way to be a lady, if the world decides that you are a lady, you are one. This very arbitrary prejudice is what feminism wants to fight.
In picking popular names randomly, I insist you question yourself why some women come to be identified as a lady and others don't. Why does the world judge Jaquelin Kennedy, Michelle Obama and Melania Trump with completely different set of rules?
How many of those silly movies have we fed on that show the maturing of a girl into a lady?
We have borrowed our mother's heels to tip toe one, wrapped a sari around us and put some lipstick on to feel more like an elegant lady. We cannot wait to grow up to that image. An image slightly distorted and different for everyone, but still right there kept on a mental pedestal.
If We Rebel.
Even when we rebel, we still want to be beautiful. We want to deviate from these standards of beauty and ladyship but we want to recreate fresh standards with fresh traits under the same labels. We want to redefine and reinvent rather than define and invent because honestly, that is just how the discourse works.
Redefining ladyship is then no longer about taking the road less taken by, because we are stuck in the same forest at the end of the day we would like to find a way out of.
The goal remains the same, to be an image of strength, balance, and poise. Ladyship albeit a privileged space is a lot about character. Therefore I ask, can we successfully not be a lady in any way? I think not. It is a differential role. We try to become it.
So if you are still trying to become it, just give yourself a break. You are already it.
[That's not all folks! Stay Tuned For More…]

Abstract—Active suspension systems adjust the suspension components of an automobile to adapt to bumps or potholes that are encountered in the road as the vehicle is driving. These systems have the potential to improve safety, performance, and ride comfort in automobiles. An integral part of active suspension systems is a device to detect irregularities in the road. Current detection systems that are available lack either in precision, resolution, or speed. A senior design project, Dynamic Automatic Adjusting Suspension (DAAS), at Seattle Pacific University expressed a need for a high-performance road scanner that could be paired with their suspension system. The design would need to take into account problems with latency and resolution. I therefore began development of the Road Profile Sensor (RPS). The RPS was implemented through the design of a range finder that uses a linear photodiode array paired with a laser to measure distance. The distance from the sensor to the road changes as irregularities in the road are encountered, and this change in distance is measured by the RPS to determine the size of the irregularity. The proposed system runs on a soft processor core in an FPGA chip that is both a part of the DAAS system and communicates with the DAAS suspension controller. The RPS can be sampled 62 times per second and has height resolution of 4mm. With further development, the RPS has the potential to run at very high speeds in relatively low-power, low-cost FPGA's. This design will yield much greater resolution in road scanning, which will lead to better suspension control, and a generally more reliable active suspension system. These improvements in road irregularity detection are expected to improve isolation between the road and the chassis of the vehicle, thereby improving the vehicle's handling, versatility, and safety.
A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University Scholars Program. A part of a larger project in the engineering department.

The 89-year-old has served as president of the 114th Precinct Community Council for the last 27 years. She's been on the council for nearly four decades in total.
"I want to help as many people as I can in my lifetime," she said.
Bruno described her role as a "liaison between the public and the cops." When residents have a problem and can't get in touch with officers, they usually call her. Then Bruno connects them with the corresponding unit.
She also plans the annual National Night Out Against Crime, which bridges the relationship between police and community. She said it takes months of planning.
"This affair is not easy to put on, it takes a lot of time," she said. "Every year we have it, it gets bigger and bigger."
Bruno said her neighborhood is one of the safest in the city because everyone works in unison.
"We have a lot of organizations and we all work together," she said. "That's what keeps us safe."
Born and raised in Astoria, Bruno said the community has changed "tremendously" over the year. Not all of it is positive, she said.
"I don't like some of the changes I see now, it's not little Astoria anymore," she said. "It's becoming a mini-Manhattan, which truthfully, I really don't like.
"I liked old Astoria as it was," she added, "one and two-family homes, which I live in."
But her commitment to Astoria is undeniable. Perhaps that's why she wins re-election as president of the community council every two years.
"I've done a lot of work there and I enjoy doing it because I can help as best as I can," she said. "I will continue as long as I can."

Sunday Streets returns to San Francisco
Thousands of people strolled, walked their dogs, rode bicycles, or skated up and down the Embarcadero, free of automobile traffic on the northbound side, as part of San Francisco's first Sunday Streets of the season.
The popular outdoor program, which is held in different city neighborhoods through October, has the feel of a street fair but without the commercialization or vendors, except for a smattering of tents from event sponsors.
"It's focused on healthy, physical activity, exploring the neighborhood and spending money in the neighborhood," said Susan King, director of San Francisco's Sunday Streets program, who estimated that about 20,000 people turned up on the unseasonably warm day.
Origins in Colombia
Sunday Streets is based on an event called Ciclovia that started in 1976 in Bogota, Colombia, where the main streets are closed to automobiles on Sundays. In 2008, then-Mayor Gavin Newsom brought the program to San Francisco, making it the one of the first three U.S. cities (along with New York and Portland) to do so that year.
Since then, Sunday Streets - which go by a variety of names - have started in numerous cities around the Bay Area and throughout the country.
Inspired by San Francisco, Berkeley closed blocks of Shattuck Avenue for its first Sunday Streets event in October. Oakland closed parts of downtown for a version of Sunday Streets - called Oaklavia - in 2010 and 2011. Fairfax and several cities in San Mateo County have held similar events.
"There are different names for all of them, but collectively they are referred to as 'Open Streets,' " said King, referring to the traffic-free-Sunday movement that has spread across the globe.
On Sunday, San Francisco's event took up a 3.3-mile route that closed northbound traffic on the Embarcadero from King Street to Fisherman's Wharf and down Third Street to Pier 52 in Mission Bay from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Hula hooping was a popular sport near the Ferry Building where Susan Jordan, her husband and two children stopped at the beginning of the walk. The family had taken BART in from Hayward for their first Sunday Streets event.
"It's wonderful. The weather's good, and they have so many things to do for the kids," said Jordan, whose muscle memory kicked in nicely as she hula hooped.
One of the most popular destinations along the route was the Exploratorium's "On the Move," a fleet of moving trucks equipped with exhibits, music and activities across the street from the museum's new home at Pier 15. The popular attraction will open April 17.
As part of Sunday's roadshow, the Exploratorium featured El Pulpo Mecanico, a giant moving octopus made with scrap metal and other recycled material. Bird dissections were also held, to the delight of flocks of non-squeamish children.
Help from volunteers
Keeping the event running smoothly was a core of 125 to 150 volunteers, many of whom had worked during dozens of Sunday Streets events throughout the five-year program.
For 18-year-old Brandon Cajuguiran, who was volunteering at his first Sunday Streets, the day had its own satisfaction.
He said he stopped a cyclist who could have gotten hit by oncoming traffic on the southbound side where cars were allowed.
"I already saved a life," he said.
Sunday Streets
San Francisco's next Sunday Streets event will be held April 14 in the Mission District. For more information about upcoming Sunday Streets events in San Francisco, visit: www.sundaystreetssf.com.

Multiphase Flow Simulation Guides Wastewater Treatment Plant DesignRonnie Berg, Tauw; Tony Flameling, Eindhoven Water Board, Netherlands
To improve the health of the Dommel river, an aeration unit has been added to the Eindhoven wastewater treatment plant to increase the oxygen level of the effluent before merging with the river. Before construction, a CFD model of a multiphase turbulent fluid flow was created to determine the best arrangement of aeration units and heights of sections of the adjustable dam for various river water levels. Simulation ultimately helped to enhance the quality of water in a cost-effective way to benefit the river's ecosystem and surrounding inhabitants.
CFD simulation results showing the velocity field of the treated water through the aeration system during dry weather.
