At times, central Harlem seems to be an urban scene straight out of central casting: Step off the No. 2 or 3 train at the 116th Street stop one evening, and the air is filled with the snap-snap of double Dutch jump ropes hitting the pavement and girls tensely debating just whose turn it is. Old men hunker down over folding domino tables, and young men preen and spar with one another. But mixed with these Spike Lee-esque vignettes is another Harlem, chugging on in defiance of the recession. It includes slick boutiques and cafes, bars that attract Hollywood types and places for music that make you wonder when exactly Harlem's Renaissance happened — then, or now?
4:30 P.M. At the start of World War I, said Jeffrey S. Gurock, the author of "When Harlem Was Jewish, 1870-1930," central Harlem had a Jewish population of 125,000. That heritage lives on at Lee Lee's Baked Goods, 283 West 118th Street, (917) 493-6633, where Alvin Lee Smalls bakes the most buttery rugelach (70 cents each, but try and buy just one) in a small bakery appointed like a country kitchen. Mr. Smalls, who is black, is known for his old tongue-in-cheek window sign that once advertised the cinnamon and raisin pastry as "rugelach by a brother."
5 P.M. Sit at the communal butcher-block tables at Society Coffee, 2104 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, (212) 222-3323, and wash down the rugelach with the house Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee ($1.75 small, $2.25 large) or a single shot of espresso from Trieste, Italy ($1.50). With all the media types inking movie deals at the tables, you'll want to double-check that you're not on the set of "Entourage."
6 P.M. Walk down 116th Street between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Malcolm X Boulevards, and you'll catch strains of French and blasts of Malian pop music as you pass African shops selling shea butter, palm oil, bright fabrics and dazzling jewelry. The center of this area, Little Africa, is the Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market, 52 West 116th Street, (212) 987-8131, where West African vendors sell native handicrafts of wood, shell and bone, from a few dollars for beaded earrings to a few hundred for a goatskin-covered djembe drum). English is little heard, and women wrapped in Technicolor fabrics plait microbraids into customers' hair as their colleagues beckon passers-by. If you demur, be warned: These hairdressers are not turned down easily.
7 P.M. Mojo, 185 St. Nicholas Avenue, (212) 280-1924, is an opulent restaurant in a purple hue that opened last spring. The husband-and-wife owners, Mounir Jabrane and Helena Greene, attend to customers who have included Danny Glover and Gov. David A. Paterson. Try the Sexy Grits, grits dressed as polenta with truffle oil and wild mushrooms ($9), perhaps washed down with one of the $11 cocktails named for Harlem locales.
9 P.M. Minton's Playhouse was the birthplace of bebop, the fast-tempo jazz pioneered by greats like Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, and its latest incarnation is called Uptown Lounge at Minton's Playhouse, 206 West 118th Street, (212) 864-8346. Opened in 1938, it was shuttered in 1974 and then, three years ago, it was reopened with an Art Deco aesthetic and a nightly jazz lineup. There's a two-drink minimum and a $5 cover charge on Fridays, $10 on Saturdays. Don't fear the occasional gaggle of tourists deposited by tour buses; the club still offers world-class jazz (a video is online at nytimes.com/nyregion).Continue reading the main story
10 P.M Head back east on 118th Street, and along the way say hello to some neighborhood residents, like the Carr family. The Carrs' building, between Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard, has been in the family for more than 60 years, said Janella Carr, 22, adding that some Carr or other has sat on its stoop just about every warm evening over those years. If you're feeling spry, ask the youngest Carr for a turn at double Dutch.Continue reading the main story

Festool Rotex RO 150 Orbital Sander Review
Festool is known for their high prices. In some cases, I believe these prices are unjustified. I recently spent a few hundred pounds on the Festool jigsaw and I ended up using my £60 jigsaw, that didn't cut straight, instead of my new Festool jigsaw. I found that the Festool Jigsaw also didn't cut straight, but … Continued

Mind Lab Pro vs. Qualia sees not two but three formulas in the ring — one on Mind Lab Pro's side and two in the Qualia corner. However, if this seems at all like an unfair match-up, bear in mind that size doesn't amount to much without an effective strategy. Or in the case of brain health supplements: formula design.
Mind Lab Pro has a fantastic formula design. Qualia also showcases overwhelming impressive ingredients and dosages. But is more actually better in this case, if Mind Lab Pro already supplies the essentials at a much cheaper price?
Or is it the case that Qualia has truly renovated our idea of "nootropic essentials"? Let's read the Mind Lab Pro vs. Qualia match-up to find out.

Formula Comparison
Mind Lab Pro and Qualia sell themselves as the only nootropic brain stack you'll ever need, which, if true, means there should be significant overlap between these two formulas, right?
And in fact there is quite a bit of overlap between Mind Lab Pro and Qualia, which, combined, supply all of our top BIG List of Nootropics favorites — in addition to a number of other super impressive cognitive enhancing options. But we're getting ahead of ourselves here.
In the next two sections, we'll cover the significant similarities and differences between these two big-time nootropic stacks, before getting into the nitty-gritty details. Check it:
How are Mind Lab Pro and Qualia formulas similar?
As we just mentioned, Mind Lab Pro and Qualia share some of our favorite nootropic ingredients, most notably: Citicoline, Bacopa Monnieri, L-Theanine, Phosphatidylserine, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, and more. These are the nootropics that work, and if you're able to find them in a single stack, there you go: you've found a nootropic stack that works — pending the ingredients' quality and dosages. With that in mind, both Mind Lab Pro and Qualia seem designed, or intended, to work as a one-size-fits-all brain health stack with short- and long-term cognitive goals in mind.
How are Mind Lab Pro and Qualia formulas different?
The first key difference between Mind Lab Pro and Qualia:
- Mind Lab Pro has no stimulants or synthetics.
- Qualia has Noopept, DHEA, and Caffeine.
While the Noopept and caffeine supply a little extra *umph* that may be felt within minutes, such stimulants come at a cost. DHEA, in particular, (which isn't a stimulant but a steroid prohormone) prevents competitive athletes from using Qualia, due to the prohormone's banned substance status. What's more, Noopept may lose its *umph* over time, due to tolerance issues.
The next key difference is in these supplements' number of ingredients. Mind Lab Pro stacks 11 ingredients in its formula, whereas Qualia racks the tally over 40. Whereas Mind Lab Pro supplies the key nootropic essentials for enhanced cognition, Qualia supplies the same in addition to vitamins, minerals, and other nourishing nutrients. However, adding more to the "key nootropic essentials" comes at a significant cost, as we'll cover below in the pricing section.
Mind Lab Pro vs. Qualia: Unique Benefits
Mind Lab Pro hits the key essential bio-pathways involved in optimal brainpower.
Rather than blasting the brain with a load of healthy compounds and nutrients, Mind Lab Pro enters the mind surgically and precisely, solely targeting the brain bio-pathways essential to a fully optimized brain. And Mind Lab Pro does so without resorting to any drugs or synthetics, boosting cognition by first supporting the underlying structures of the brain.
Qualia targets brain health and cognition with a shotgun spread.
Qualia more or less covers the same brain bio-pathways as Mind Lab Pro, except they take a much more ambitious approach, seemingly targeting everything directly and indirectly involved in cognition. It's an interesting approach that many manufacturers, even if they wanted to, likely couldn't pull off. And no doubt it's impressive, especially when you consider Qualia's ingredient dosages and quality.
As compared to Mind Lab Pro, Qualia does more. Yet, Mind Lab Pro targets brainpower with a frill-free design, lessening any risks of negative ingredient interactions or side effects.
- Mind Lab Pro and Qualia target the same brain benefits, yet Qualia takes aim at the rest of the brain as well to uncertain advantage — or drawback.
Dosage Comparison
First of all, we need to give props to both Mind Lab Pro and Qualia for staying away from all the proprietary blend shenanigans. Every ingredient in this Mind Lab Pro vs. Qualia comparison review is on transparent display, all ingredient dosages are shown.
And guess what: they're all purdy good.
Mind Lab Pro showcases some impressive ingredient dosages, despite a smaller 2 caps serving size, whereas Qualia impresses us, despite having so many damn ingredients. Most health supplements that attempt the 40+ ingredients formula design either fail due to poorly dosed ingredients or were never intended to work in the first place — the huge list of ingredients serves as a distraction, usually masked by a proprietary blend, from the fact that a capsule or two simply isn't large enough to handle 40+ ingredients.
Qualia makes this work with its 9 caps per daily serving requirement, which is perhaps one of the largest (if not the largest) serving size we've seen from a nootropic brain health supplement.
- Mind Lab Pro and Qualia deliver adequately dosed nootropics, despite a smaller serving size and gigantic ingredient count, respectively.
Ingredient Quality Comparison
Qualia has a larger number of high quality ingredients.
Mind Lab Pro has a greater concentration of high quality ingredients.
Meaning that all of Mind Lab Pro's nootropics come in high quality, highly potent ingredient forms, of which several are supplied as clinically tested brands, whereas Qualia has a lot of quality nootropics but still leaves a little room for improvement in its formula — e.g., compare Mind Lab Pro's Suntheanine® L-Theanine with Qualia's standard L-Theanine.
Having said that, Qualia still carries an impressive number of high quality nootropics and nootropic brands — e.g., Cognizin®, BioPQQ™. While Qualia has earned a name for itself based on its smartly crafted selection of nootropics, it's the premium quality of those ingredients that rank Qualia in the upper echelons of manufactured nootropic supplements.
Either direction you go here, you'll find exceptional quality ingredients, which put both Mind Lab Pro and Qualia in a good spot heading into the next comparison review segment.
- Qualia has more high quality nootropics. Mind Lab Pro has only high quality nootropics. Impressive all around.
Nutrient Delivery and Clean Label Comparison
Premium, potent herbal extracts. High quality nootropic brands. Clean, green veggie capsules. Yes, yes, and yes — Mind Lab Pro and Qualia has 'em, and the result: enhanced nutrient delivery and low-risk additive profiles.
Many awesome supplements shoot themselves in their feet by coating their awesome nootropics and health compounds with dirty, hard-to-digest capsules and tablets. But not Mind Lab Pro nor Qualia. These products come clean and polished, ensuring that their formulas maintain their bioavailability upon consumption.
The Step Two formula for Qualia even notches in a little BioPerine® Black Pepper extract, which is essential for health compounds such as turmeric to work. Yet, the sheer abundance of Qualia's ingredient count does come with nutrient absorption concerns, given the risk of nutrient absorption competition between certain ingredients. Splitting the overall formula into two separate stacks may ameliorate this issue somewhat; however, it's hard to say how much of a difference this makes.
Even so, both stacks deserve props for their safe and easy-to-absorb formula capsule containers.
- Mind Lab Pro and Qualia showcase exceptionally clean, capsulated formulas, even if the latter may have packed those capsules too full for all of its nutrients to work.
Price Comparison
|Mind Lab Pro
|1 Bottle (30 servings)
|1 Bottle (22 servings)
|Price Per Serving
|Price Per Serving
Both price listings represent the "Single Order" options for Mind Lab Pro and Qualia. However, both Opti-Nutra and Neurohacker Collective have different order options you may buy to reduce those price per serving costs. For example, Mind Lab Pro offers a 3 Bottles (+ 1 Bottle Free) option for an average $1.63 per serving — as well as free shipping — whereas Qualia has an auto-subscription option: $99 for the first month, after which you pay $129 per 22 servings for an average $5.86 per serving.
- Even at each product's respective "cheapest" option, Qualia is more than three times expensive than Mind Lab Pro on a price per serving basis.
Mind Lab Pro vs. Qualia: Which is Better?
If you were to split Qualia into three separate formulas and then allow buyers to mix-and-match those formulas however they choose, rather than forcing them to buy both Step One and Step Two in a single order, then Qualia may be onto something there. After all, not everyone who's into Citicoline necessarily wants to dive into Noopept or DHEA as well.
Especially considering that the additional weight attached to Qualia comes at an additionally heavy price. One of the heaviest price tags on the 2018 nootropic market.
Mind Lab Pro, on the other hand, supplies a more straightforward nootropic product, even if it carries significant overlap with Qualia's formula. Simply put, Mind Lab Pro offers a premium quality nootropic stack that, if you wanted to, allows you to stack additional stacks to their product. It's a "Universal Nootropic" as their marketing suggests.
If anything, you can stack certain Qualia ingredients independently (say, Noopept) with Mind Lab Pro and we're certain that you'd still be saving money versus buying Qualia. And that's a fine enough note to end this comparison review.
Mind Lab Pro vs. Qualia Overall Winner:
Mind Lab Pro

CapJaxMathFax™ is a simple way to get math fact practice in and get detailed information on how your student is progressing. It's not a flashy program and is ideal for kids who like to see their scores go up and improve themselves.
I had my 9 year old daughter use this daily for about 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I never told her to check the box to "play for rating" and didn't get any stats for her for the time she has been using it. I did, however, use it myself to see how it works.
|See encouraging messages as you improve your rating.
Click on the message in the bottle for an "inspirational quote."
With CapJaxMathFax™ the problems start out easy and then as the child gains confidence with the initial success the difficulty increases. I really liked how the levels were short. In some programs you have to "play" forever before you get any sort of reward or feedback. Not so with CapJaxMathFax™. It doesn't take much time to see a message telling you what you have accomplished.
Practicing on the keyboard is great for students that are not familiar with the keyboard or need more practice to gain speed. All a student needs to do is type in the number that is shown....easy peasy.
In practice mode, operations can be mixed (you choose which ones you want). When playing for a rating you only test on one operation at a time.
As students learn they have the option of putting a table up on the screen to help them with just the click of a button.
|The green arrow (I added) points to the table button.
The blue arrow is pointing to the table.
In practice mode, the table will automatically switch between addition and
multiplication if you are practicing
more than one operation.
One other neat feature is the Word Thinkers option where students get their facts as a word problem like you see here:
Other options include twelves, negatives and working on a single level.
Detailed summaries can be printed as well so you know what facts your child needs help with or to create a record.
You can also check on your child's progress by viewing the progress graph. View all the operations at once or choose one or more at a time.
When your student masters an operation a certificate pops up which can be printed if you wish.

If we assume a small business needs more sales and has a strong product or service offering in place at an acceptable price. Their next step should be to boost the profile of the business in the target area.
So what is the small business marketing process? What specific steps are required to raise the profile of a business in its local area and increase enquiries and sales? Before looking at each of the steps in detail let's summarise:
GOOGLE MY BUSINESS PAGE – Make sure the business has some presence on page 1 Google. Service the active searchers for goods and services in the local area.
DIRECTORIES – The second line of defence to pick up those actively searching (in buying mode) for goods or services.
WEBSITE – The information hub for the business. More likely to pick up those searching for general information than active searchers. But if those searching for information find what they need and are properly nurtured they may become customers at some point.
LOCAL SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION – The website needs to appear on page 1 Google (worse case Page2) when a prospect types in a relevant search phrase.
REVIEWS – Build trust. Relevant to both the website and the Google My Business page.
SOCIAL MEDIA – For some businesses social media can be their prime lead generation tool. For other businesses a complete waste of time and effort.
OFFLINE MARKETING – Because it's not all about online. Offline marketing activities can be the prime source of sales leads for some businesses.
Potential customers searching for a supplier of goods or services in their local area will often turn to friends or family for a recommendation (more on that below). Failing that they will probably scan the first page of the search results, they may even drop down to page2. but they are unlikely to go any further.
There are only 10 organic positions available on page1 Google. With any local search phrase (eg Accountant Nottingham) two or three of those positions will be taken up by major directories (eg Yell) another one or two by introducers (eg VouchedFor or Checkatrade) and possibly one by a job site.
All of the above invest significant amounts of time and resources in digital marketing and it can be difficult for a small business to compete. One tool that can level the playing field to an extent is a Google My Business page.
A Google my business page can give a small local business a presence towards the top of Page 1 Google. Type in a location based search phrase into Google and a map will appear immediately below the Ad block at the top of the page.
The map shows several red dots each representing the location of a local business matching the search phrase. Usually, three of those dots show a flag. A short listing is provided for each of the flagged businesses.Each listing shows the company name, telephone number, opening times and a link to the business website.
To secure a prominent position in the Google My Business listings is not easy (particularly in competitive markets) but it can be easier and cheaper than trying to secure a high position for the business website on Page 1 of Google.
the use of paper directories for small business marketing is in rapid decline (Yellow pages anyone!). However, online directories are still used by those searching for local goods and services. Of course, those searching are most likely to click on a website or Google My Business listing but directories do receive clicks. Listings are often free or low cost.
There is an increasing number of industry sector specific directories that offer various add on services as paid options. These sometimes include sales lead generation. However, it is important to measure the quality of the leads, the potential conversion rate and therefore the ROI before diving in.
To succeed in small business marketing it is important to understand where potential customers are in their buying process. If they ready to buy they are most likely to click on the Google My Business listing. If they are in research mode it is more likely they will visit the business website.
Of course, this is a simplified view. The prospect may click through to the website from the Google My Business listing. The prospect who lands on the website may be in buying mode. A recommendation from friends or family may have led the prospect to a small business website.
The key is to deliver the information potential customers need whatever stage of the buying process they may be at. Consumers need to build a level of trust before they will purchase from a supplier. The website should deliver all the information they need to build that trust including reviews and recommendations (see below).
In many cases, a simple website of only a few pages will suffice. The website must be technically correct, be easy to navigate, and deliver a positive user experience. It must be updated regularly with new content.
The design is important but failing on the technical, content or useability part of the equation means the website will not rank well no matter how good the design may be.
A Google my business listing has its limitations. The listing provides the briefest of details and not everyone will click through to the website. Some will ignore the Google my Business panel and dive straight into the organic results.
Driving the business website onto page 1 Google gives a business another chance to secure an enquiry or raise consumer awareness. But to obtain that Page1 position requires some level of search engine optimisation.
Search engine optimisation for a business with a potential national customer base is a complex, expensive, long term operation. Fortunately focussing on potential customers in a limited area simplifies the process.
That is not to say small business local SEO is easy. It takes time and effort and there are a number of tricks and traps to be aware of. However, for many (not all) local businesses the effort involved can pay off and keep paying off over the long term.
The psychologist Dr Robert Cialdini (and several others) have identified social proof as a key determinant of human behaviour. It is natural for people to seek out the opinion of others before making a decision. This is why publishing positive customer reviews on Google My Business page, the business website and (if appropriate) social media is so important.
As stated above one of the first sources of information potential customers will seek out when looking for goods or services in their local area is the recommendations of friends and family. They may well check out business reviews before making a final purchasing decision.
Reviews also have a secondary impact. One of the many signals used by Google to decide which businesses it should show (and their position) in the Google My Business panel is the number of reviews for that business. Many believe they also assess the proportion of reviews which are positive rather than negative.
This is a difficult one. For some businesses, social media activity is a complete waste of time and effort. For others, it can be their prime method of securing enquiries for their services.
There are three major issues to consider. First, and most important, are ideal potential customers using social media and if so which social media channels are they using. It could be Facebook or for a younger audience, it could be Snapchat. For B2B it could be Linked In. If the product is best represented visually it could be Pinterest.
If your potential customers are on social media and it is possible to determine which is the best social media channel to reach them the business owner must have the time (and inclination) to put into having an appropriate presence on social media? To succeed means being active on whatever channel is chosen on a regular basis. Will the significant time and effort involved generate an ROI?
All the chatter may be about online marketing but for many businesses offline is still effective. In this post we have been talking about only one key element of the small business marketing mix, raising awareness. There are many offline tools available to raise the profile of your small business.
To name but a few there is local sponsorship. Perhaps an advertising board at your local football or rugby club. Networking groups may work for some businesses, assuming the business owner is the right type of person. Local advertising can still be effective if the right media is chosen and an appropriate message is crafted. Investing in attending events can work well for specific types of local businesses.
It is worth keeping an eye on what the competition is doing. What marketing techniques are they using and are they successful? Be careful, just because they are investing in technique X, Y or Z does not mean they are generating a return on their investment.
Any small business with a local customer base can implement a successful small business marketing campaign to raise their profile for little cost and with minimal (if any) support. All that is required is the time to learn the tools and techniques involved and the ongoing commitment to drive the process forward.

Council of Mortgage Lenders director general Michael Coogan says: "This cut presents immense challenges for lenders, leaving little scope for them to lower discretionary mortgage rates . Savings are the lifeblood of mortgage lending, and unless lenders can offer competitive rates to savers, their ability to offer new mortgages is restricted."
Building Societies Association director general Adrian Coles says: "Lower interest rates reduce the incentive to save and this limits the flow of funds into the mortgage market. This decision is a kick in the teeth for savers and will also harm the aspirations of the many people who are finding it difficult to get a mortgage."
The monetary policy committee says the 0.5 per cent cut was taken despite possible "counter-productive effects on the operation of some financial markets and on the lending capacity of the banking system".

Athletic Bilbao players have made a touching tribute to their teammate Yeray Alvarez who is currently battling cancer.
The Spanish side have shown immense solidarity with the entire squad shaving their heads after the defender underwent chemotherapy.
The 22-year-old withdrew from Spain's Under-21 squad after a medical check-up revealed that his testicular cancer had returned.
After missing out on the Euro Under-21 Championship, he will now undergo chemotherapy and he is expected to return to football in three months.
Bilbao released a statement, read: "During a radiological check-up done on June 12, the latest of the follow-up tests done to monitor the progress of the testicular tumour that was detected and removed on December 2016.
"An anomaly [adenopathy] has been detected that needs to be treated and hence, in the coming days the player will undergo complementary treatment [chemotherapy] indicated by the specialists.
"The player will on June 13 leave the U21 Spain national team and the estimated time of absence is approximately three months.
"Just as we expressed when we first found out about his illness, Athletic Bilbao is at the disposal of Yeray and requests respect and discretion for the player and his family."
Last year, the defender was diagnosed with testicular cancer and returned less than two months after having the tumour removed.
On Tuesday, Yeray posted a messaging saying: "When you think you have toppled it, it gets up and it comes back to hit you, but don't worry I'm going to win this battle.
"With the support of all the people and if I have to topple it again, I will do so and I will get up 1,000 times more."

Panda, Standard Hair Stakes
Have some fun with these charming pandas.
The sticks are 9" long bamboo, both of the tips are black while the middle is all natural.
The bead is a glass 8mm black with white dots
The charm is in a Moroccan Window shape (I use my CAD system to cut it out) and I hand drew each picture - There are 2 pandas, one is shy while the other is sleeping.
The charms are 3/4 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide and about 2mm thick
They hang from the stake like a tassel, the tassel is 1 3/4" long
I over engineer theses stakes so they don't catch in your hair. What that means in detail is I counter sink the eyelet into the stick so there is no gap for your hair to get caught, for added security I E6000 the eyelet into place. The Bobble and Stick are connected with a split-ring; basically a miniature key-ring, once again so there is no were for your hair to get caught. And I wire wrap the beads and charms together. All this means that your hair should not get caught in the charms (Nether Tig nor I have ever had it happen and we ware out hair stakes every day). It also means that it is very securely put together.

Success on the greens depends on feeling the difference between merely stroking the ball and putting a good roll on it.
A Good Roll Starts at Address
Although the putter is nicknamed the "flatstick" because its face doesn't appear to have any loft, it actually does have three or four degrees. This slight upward angle is essential to getting the ball rolling smoothly: At impact, the ball actually is lifted slightly.
To make proper use of the loft, the hands should be even with the ball at address. If your hands move ahead of the putterhead, you'll deloft the blade. At impact, the ball will be pinched down into the turf, which can cause it to skip off line at the start.
Hit the Sweet Spot
Good roll also depends on contacting the ball with the sweet spot of the putter. Hitting the ball out toward the toe imparts "hook-spin" at the outset, causing the putt to move a little left. (Many amateurs make this error, which explains why most prefer putts that break from right-to-left.) Hitting the ball more toward the heel causes the opposite reaction: It puts a little "slice-spin" on the start of the roll so the putt moves right. Missing the sweet spot not only affects direction but distance: The ball won't roll as far as you expect if you don't make solid contact.
Putters generally are marked on top to indicate the location of the sweet spot. When you putt, turn the label on the ball so it points straight down the intended line, then concentrate on meeting the label with the sweet spot mark. A well-rolled, solidly struck putt feels as satisfying as a drive hit on the screws. More important, it usually goes where you want.

Amit Shah is on his new mission to break the alliance between BSP and SP. The Bahujan Samajh Party leader Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav has decided to form an alliance to defeat BJP.
In Uttar Pradesh, 10 Rajya Sabha seats are to be decided out of 31. Every prospective winning party requires 37 votes to win. In the 403 member assembly the BJP has 324 MLAs which makes it pretty clear that it can elect 8 Council of States MPs unopposed.
There are 47 MLAs in Rajya Sabha from Samajwadi Party, meaning one MLA can be elected easily. However, Bahujan Samaj Party has 18 MLAs only in the Upper House of the parliament. This is not sufficient to elect an MLA from their party. Therefore, the deal has been formed where BSP will take loan 10 more votes from SP, 1 from RLD and 7 votes from Congress to elect former MLA Bhimrao Ambedkar to the Upper House.
Amit Shah changed their game plan by introducing a 9th BJP candidate into the contest in the final hours. This leaves Mayawati still in danger.
Now her candidate Bhimrao Ambedkar and Anil Agarwal, the 9th candidate from BJP will fight for that one seat.
After this sudden game change by Amit Shah, the SP and Congress have shown their concern over cross voting or exits. The BJP is trying to persuade legislator monetarily to vote for their 9th candidate, as claimed by BSP. This is termed as political maneuvering by Amit Shah.
Anil Agrarwal, who made the last entry into the election with BJP's remaining 28 votes; just require 9 more votes to strike out BSP. The party is also expecting support of some individual from NISHAD party that mainly represents fishermen, comprising 4% of UPs population. Last year when Akhilesh Yadav denied Vijay Mishra, now a strong head of NISHAD party, to contest for state election, he immediately joined NISHAD party. He is expected to give his votes in favor of BJP.

Sneak Peek
My Review
My Thoughts: Reading Sometimes Snow Falls in the Summer was like going home for me. In this delightfully heartwarming book, we meet Ella, a 7 year old girl living in the city, who is going to stay at her grandmother's house in the country for a week. She has heard from her mother all her life about how nana's farm is filled with magic and she gets to finally experience this first hand for herself. She learns that magic can be found all around whether we live in the city or in a rural area.
I just loved the portrayal of the beautiful relationship between the grandmother and the granddaughter. I was also very close to my grandmother who taught me how to care for my nails, how to cook, and how to crochet and do embroidery. The grandparent-grandchild relationship is such an important and unique one and this book is begging to be shared between a loving grandparent and their grandchildren. The story brought back many special memories that I had of my own grandmother.
I love the underlying message regarding the magic that surrounds us in nature and really appreciating the simple things in life. I recently read an article about the Chronic Lack of Awe, which I would further argue reflects a disconnect from nature that our society is experiencing in modern times. As a child, I would marvel at the baby birds in their nest in the spring; I would collect wildflowers including bluebells and tiger lilies for my mother; I would collect tadpoles from our dugout and watch them grow into frogs; I would rip apart cattails and watch it snow in summer (oops! the secret is out!). Life in a rural area truly is awe-inspiring.
The author, a former educator, has also created an activity guide, Rainbows to Snowflakes to accompany the storybook, Sometimes Snow Falls in the Summer. The activity guide contains 13 detailed and illustrated lessons which can easily be adopted by parents, homeschoolers, or teachers. Each lesson details the suggested grade range, time to complete, skills used, objective, materials needed, step-by-step instructions, and teaching guides. All of the activities are centred around rainbows and snow and they are FABULOUS. My son picked up Rainbows to Snowflakes, started flipping through the pages, and was super-excited to do the activities in the book! That says it all!
I just wanted to mention one small issue. I did wish that Sometimes Snow Falls in the Summer
and the activity guide, Rainbows to Snowflakes had book covers that differed a bit more. The only difference between the covers is that one has a rainbow and you think it would be easy to identify which book is which, but sadly, it was not. I got them confused quite a bit!
My Bottom Line: Sometimes Snow Falls in the Summer is a lovely book with wonderful underlying messages about the special bond between grandparents and their grandchildren as well as the importance of seeing the magic that surrounds us and appreciating the small simple things in life. The accompanying activity guide, Rainbows to Snowflakes is full of fun and educational ideas for crafts and projects that a grown up can do with a child – it's really fabulous!

Contrast agent recognition in small animal CT using the Medipix2 detector
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/10092/2983
Energy resolving capabilities of X-ray detectors like the Medipix2 and the upcoming Medipix3 offer access to spectral information which is a new domain of information in medical imaging.
In conventional CT of a composite object only the cumulative contribution of all involved materials to the attenuation is measurable, but not how much each material component contributes to this attenuation is measured. Therefore, contrast agent cannot be distinguished from bone or calcifications. The method of material reconstruction exploits the energy information to determine the partial densities of the involved materials using a maximum likelihood approach, i.e. it allows the separation of contrast agent from tissue, bones and calcifications.
We have employed the Medipix All Resolution System (MARS) scanner equipped with a Medipix2 MXR and performed a CT scan of a mouse with iodine contrast agent in stomach and bowel. The method allows to separate the iodine contrast agent from all the other absorbing structures. In the iodine image, only the iodine concentration is visible, while the non-iodine (water) image shows all the other tissue structures and bones. The method of material reconstruction was applied to real CT data of a biological sample for the first time.

Newcastle Fostering Service welcomes enquiries from people interested in becoming a foster carer in the North East of England within 50 miles of the city. This includes Sunderland and the rest of Tyne and Wear, most of Northumberland, some of Cumbria and North Yorkshire, and the whole of County Durham.
Below are some frequently asked questions about fostering in the UK, including those who can and can't get involved, and about how to foster a child with the support of Newcastle City Council.
Q. I've had lots of problems in my personal life - can I still foster? Yes. Your tough times will give you a much better understanding of the problems faced by young people.
Q. Will I be asked lots of personal questions by social workers? Yes, but all the questions will be linked to your skills and abilities as a parent and carer. A social worker will get to know you, and, over time, you will form a trusting relationship with them. All information you give will be confidential.
Q. Will I receive any financial help? All our foster carers receive a regular allowance for each child they care for -- up to £400 per week, per child. In the case of children with more complex needs, you may receive an additional allowance. Benefit advice for foster carers
Q. Can I foster if I smoke? Our service follows the CORAM BAAF guidelines and therefore we don't place children under 5 with people who smoke. Any new applicants who currently smoke are encouraged to quit smoking in line with healthy lifestyles.
Q. I'm a little bit overweight - can I still foster? Yes. The medical assessment that all foster carers undergo shows if this will cause any problems.
Q. Do I have to be married with children of my own? No, we value each individual's commitment, enthusiasm and energy over their personal circumstances.
Q. I'm gay - can I still foster? Yes. We consider applications from gay and lesbian individuals or couples. The application process is exactly the same.
Q. Do I have to own my own home? Do I need to live in a house with a garden? The answer to both questions is no. You can live in a privately rented or council rented property. The property can be either a house or a flat although small children do like to run around in a garden. All we expect is that the fostered child will have their own bedroom.
Q. I work full-time - can I still foster? Yes but the hours you work may help determine what kind of fostering you're able to do.
Q. I have a criminal conviction - will I still be able to foster? We need to know of all previous criminal convictions. There are some convictions of a serious nature that would make it impossible for us to place children with you.
Q. Will children I foster stay in contact with their 'birth' families? Most fostered children will stay in contact with their 'birth' families. This could be through visits or in writing. Your social worker will talk to you about this. We have a legal duty to promote positive contact with 'birth' families.
Q. Does it matter where I live? We recruit foster carers who live outside Newcastle within a 50-mile radius, as well as those who live locally. This area includes the major towns of Sunderland, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees and Darlington, and the City of Durham. It covers Tyne and Wear, the majority of Northumberland, part of Cumbria and North Yorkshire, and all of County Durham.
The best thing to do is complete our on-line application form and we can take it from there.
If you have any other questions or would like an informal chat about fostering, please call 0191 277 2430.

Book Title: Tarnished
Author: Kate Jarvik Birch
Series: Perfected #2
Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian-ish, Sci-fi-ish
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Source: Netgalley Arc
Why I picked that quote: The author has a lot of poignant excerpts like this one throughout the book, and this one is my favorite. Such a beautiful way to explain the pre-dawn time of day.
Overall Rating: 3.7/5 Stars
✧Breakdown of Rating✧
- Plot: 8/5 -The story starts out really slow and some things that happen seem, I don't know, glossed over and not fully fleshed out, but as the story progressed it hooked me in more.
- Characters: 7/5 -Ella is more likable in this 2nd book, she gets a backbone and starts thinking for herself, I actually started to like her more and more as the story progressed. Penn is somewhat less likable, he's become like the devoted puppy, sort of. Missy is really a bitch when she first arrives, but I realized that she only wants what is best for Ella and she really has a hard time admitting she cares, about anything or anyone. That's just a part of her personality.
- The Feels: 5/5 -The romance between Penn and Ella is really put on the backburner so to speak in this one. I think I liked this more, because of that.
- Theme: 8/5 -While, ultimately, I think the theme of this series is a good one, there is still this underlying theme of dirty old men having their way with very young girls. This part of this series really unhinges me. I mean really their motto is We sell young pretty girls for your enjoyment, what do you think these rich old men want these girls for…ewww…but seriously ewww don't even begin to cover it. I really like to believe that this could never happen in our society.
- Flow: 4/5
- Originality: 4/5
- Book Cover: 5/5 -It is really pretty, even though, this dress doesn't seem to make an appearance in this book. I think its main purpose is to convey a feeling of being less than perfect.
- Sex Factor: Not really, but it is hinted at.
- Ending: 4/5 -The ending was sort of intense, I don't know…I was actually into it. Cliffhanger: Sort of
Will I continue the series? Yes, I like where it seems to be heading now.
Freedom comes at a cost...
Ella was genetically engineered to be the perfect pet—graceful, demure...and kept. In a daring move, she escaped her captivity and took refuge in Canada. But while she can think and act as she pleases, the life of a liberated pet is just as confining as the Congressman's gilded cage. Her escape triggered a backlash, and now no one's safe, least
of all the other pets. But she's trapped, unable to get back
to Penn—the boy she loves—or help the girls who need her.
Back in the United States, pets are turning up dead. With help from a very unexpected source, Ella slips deep into the dangerous black market, posing as a tarnished pet available to buy or sell. If she's lucky, she'll be able to rescue Penn and expose the truth about the breeding program. If she fails, Ella will pay not only with her life, but the lives
of everyone she's tried to save...
My Thoughts:
I was kindly provided with an ARC of this book via Netgalley in Exchange for an honest review.
I listened to the first book, Perfected, on audio and I was really annoyed by the MC's voice, she was whiny and nauseating. For Tarnished, I read the E-book and that was definitely the better choice. Overall, this book has its flaws, but in it's intended form, as a YA book, it is a worthwhile read. It will certainly get you thinking.
