The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews
This compendium of magical lore is a vital tool for every magical person on any magical path, whether you are a beginner or an expert.
The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews by Llewellyn Publishing
By Scott Cunningham
One of the secrets of real magic is that it is controlled by the mind. The more things in your ritual to help your mind associate with your goal, the more powerful your ritual may be. Colored candles, scented oils, natural incenses, and more all add to the impact of the magic you wish to do. But how do you know which incense to burn? Is it possible to add scented oils together to get a more powerful oil? And how do you make your own appropriately-scented tools?
The answers to questions like these and hundreds more can be found in The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews by world-famous author Scott Cunningham. This is a greatly expanded and rewritten version of The Magic of Incenses, Oils and Brews. It includes over 100 new formulas, proportions for each element of the recipes (the most requested feature from his previous book), how to substitute ingredients, and much more. Besides the formulas, it also includes the exact methods of making all of these scented tools, including how to extract the essences from the herbs.
Each one of the formulas in this magic book is precise and easy to make. Do you need luck? Take 2 parts vetivert, 2 parts allspice, 1 part nutmeg, and 1 part calamus, grind them together as finely as possible, then sprinkle the powder in a circle around you, beginning and ending in the East and moving clockwise. Sit within this circle and absorb the powder's energies. Also included are other ways to use magical powders that will have you coming up with your own ideas for them, too.
There is a legion of recipes for incenses. There are three for the sun and two for consecrating talismans. There are incenses for each of the astrological signs and ones to help you study better and gain success. You'll also find incenses for each of the planetary influences. There are four for Saturn alone;Item Number: LL-9780875421285 | Approximate Size (Inches): 6.00 wide x 1.00 deep x 9.00 high | Approximate Shipping Weight: 0.50 lbs.

State ▼
Iowa moved one step closer to providing the necessary governmental infrastructure for full-scale sports betting. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is close to voting on its proposed set of rules and regulations regarding legal sports betting within the Hawkeye State.
Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill in May to legalize sports betting for people 21 years and older at any of Iowa's 19 casinos. The bill also legalized online sports betting so long as the bettor first visits a casino in person for age verification. Additionally, the bill legalized bets on fantasy sports.
While the legislation went into effect immediately, the state's rules and regulations providing oversight still needed to be created, presented for public comment and approved. The latest draft of the rules is posted at the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission's website. There were not any snags at the public hearing, and a final vote is expected by the end of the month.
Judging by the lack of public voices at the hearing, Iowans are ready for legal sportsbook choices.
The draft proposal was posted on July 1 so that the public could read through the rules and ask questions at the public hearing, July 11 in Altoona. However, only two people spoke at the meeting and both were representatives of sports betting companies and casinos.
"I was surprised that we did not get many comments — that we only had two today," Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission administrator Brian Ohorilko said.
Ohorilko said the recommendations that were received at the hearing from the two industry representatives would be discussed and considered in full, but that the current draft was probably already very close to what the rules would be in its final form.
The committee's final vote on the draft proposal is scheduled for July 30.
That means Iowa could start accepting casino applications on that date, and that everything seems to be on track to be finalized by mid-August.
"The thought is that we would put those rules back on that agenda for emergency adoption. If they were adopted by the commission, there would be an effective date sometime in mid-August," Ohorilko said. "That would allow for the casinos to finish up some housekeeping things necessary to go live with sports wagering."
It makes sense Iowa would want to have its sports betting program up and running by the beginning of fall. After all, that's when football season starts which is considered one of the very busiest times of the year in U.S. sports betting.
While some states have recently passed sports betting laws that prohibit making bets on in-state collegiate teams and players, Iowa's law only prohibits in-game proposition bets on collegiate sports, meaning Iowa bettors won't be able to back individual player performances but can, for instance, still back the Iowa Hawkeyes or Iowa State Cyclones to win their big games during this upcoming football season.

Democrat Doug Jones says he received congratulatory phone calls from President Donald Trump and other leaders after beating Republican Roy Moore in Alabama's U.S. Senate race.
Jones says the call he got from Trump Wednesday was "very gracious" after the upset win. Trump had harshly criticized him during the race.
Jones told a news conference he's also gotten calls from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Alabama Republican Sens. Richard Shelby and Luther Strange and others.
WATCH: Alabama senators react to Doug Jones win
Unofficial returns show Jones defeated Moore by about 20,000 votes, or 1.5 per cent.
Moore hasn't conceded, and Jones says he hasn't heard from the former judge.
During the Senate race Trump managed to endorse two different losing candidates, a setback that is highlighting an experience deficit within the White House political team.
READ MORE: Doug Jones claims victory in Alabama Senate race, Roy Moore says recount may be needed
"As the leader of the party, I would have liked to have had the seat," Trump acknowledged Wednesday, a day after a special Senate election in Alabama led to the election of Democrat Doug Jones.
Republicans in Washington and around the country say a bungled approach to the race – in which the president wagered his party's moral authority with nothing to show for it – should serve as a wakeup call for the administration going into what is sure to be a challenging midterm election year.
"This White House is not working on all cylinders," said Ari Fleischer, who served as press secretary to former President George W. Bush.
Trump originally supported Sen. Luther Strange in the GOP primary, but he lost to Roy Moore. Trump then stuck with Moore in the race against Jones even after the Republican was hit with multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
There is growing sentiment both inside the West Wing and around the nation's capital that there's a shortage of political know-how in the upper echelon of the administration. The Alabama defeat has some inside the White House hoping for a moment of reckoning with the president.
WATCH: Trump suggests some Republicans are 'happy' that Moore lost
Trump may have proven the pundit class wrong with his surprise win last November, but even inside the White House there is growing recognition that Trump may need their help in office.
Trump himself was the driver of the decision to re-engage in the Alabama race on behalf of Moore, according to people familiar with the decision. He had only begrudgingly supported the Republican National Committee's decision to pull out of the race. Some longtime aides said it was the first time they had come to question his political instincts, which served him so well in the past.
Since the summer departures of Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon, Trump has been without an in-house senior political adviser, roles filled in previous administrations by household names like David Axelrod and Karl Rove.
WATCH: Schumer: Roy Moore loss means Republican brand is 'positively toxic'
Trump, current and former aides said, has been focused more on shoring up his own image for his 2020 re-election than on the midterms next year. Friends and allies have sought to convince Trump of the need to invest time and resources into helping down-ballot Republicans in November, warning that Democratic control comes with subpoena power for congressional investigatory committees.
But others fault some of the president's senior staff, including chief of staff John Kelly, who like his boss is new to politics.
When Kelly, a retired four-star general, took over the chaotic White House in August, his single-minded focus on process and order was viewed as an asset. But in the midst of a legislative crunch and with an election year on the horizon, some close to Trump have started to wish his closest adviser had a little more political know-how.
Kelly's effort stands in contrast to that of Trump's first chief of staff, Priebus, who was seen as more interested in trying to rein in the president's worst instincts and fighting to preserve his own influence with the president, said people with knowledge of the White House. But Priebus, the former Republican National Committee chairman, was better equipped than Kelly to talk politics, as was Bannon, Trump's former chief strategist, who was deeply involved in the president's campaign.
WATCH: Roy Moore accuser celebrates Alabama Senate candidate's loss
Some in Trump's circle see a silver lining to Moore's loss in Alabama: Perhaps the setback will convince Trump to stop listening to Bannon, who is seen by many as a bad influence, stirring Trump's worst instincts.
Other administration critics have pointed fingers at the White House political director, Bill Stepien, a Trump campaign veteran and former aide to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, for not being up to the job. But White House officials defended Stepien, saying his office is focused more on working with the RNC and Capitol Hill Republicans to implement Trump's agenda. He is not in Trump's inner circle of advisers, aides said, and his role is more tactical than strategic.
Stepien was not party to Trump's decision to re-endorse Moore, people familiar with the conversation said, and has been focusing his offices' efforts on building political support for Trump's tax reform agenda. Much of his communication with Trump is filtered through Kelly or other aides.
Former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway and Nick Ayers, Vice-President Mike Pence's chief of staff, also have political roles, officials said, but are not entrenched in Trump's inner circle.
Outside groups wary of upsetting the administration say the collaboration with the White House is better than the nonexistent engagement at the start of Trump's time in office, but still pales in comparison to what is needed.
WATCH: Republican Roy Moore casts vote in Alabama race with high stakes for Trump
Still, White House officials argued that Trump wasn't looking for that kind of support, saying he views himself as his own chief strategist.
That has always been the case. Trump eschewed seasoned political minds during his presidential campaign, and officials said he resisted efforts by Bannon and Priebus to interject their political instincts in place of his own.

ALTOONA, Pa. — Baseball can be a heartbreaking yet heartwarming game for many and Altoona Curve hitting coach Jon Nunnally knows what it's like to be on both sides of the spectrum.
It was with the Cleveland Indians that Nunnally got his start both as a player and a coach and it would be the Indians who would hurt him the most early in his coaching career.
Nunnally was brought on to be the hitting coach of the Indians in December 2009, a position he would hold until being fired in June of 2011. For Nunnally it wasn't that he got fired that hurt, it was how he got fired.
"To go there and the way things went down, it just hurt. I just didn't see what happened," Nunnally recalled. "We were playing well, in first place, swinging the bats well and then all of a sudden it ended one day. I knew beforehand from players that this was going on."
His career could have stopped there, well before arriving in Altoona, but it was his love of the game and the art of coaching that helped him continue on developing young professional hitters in the minor leagues.
"My love of the game. I love to give back. I love to give to the guys," Nunnally said. "I enjoy being in the atmosphere of baseball. This is something that's taken care of me, it's something that's taken care of my family and it continues to do that."
Over the course of nearly 25 years in professional baseball Nunnally has experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows which has allowed him to give back to the game in a special way.
"Just the love, I just love baseball. I show up every single day to just give it back," Nunnally said. "Being able to take my knowledge that I do have, along with people that surround me that helped with all the things I went through in my life and my career as far as coaching and playing." Nunnally said.
Before entering coaching, Nunnally played five seasons in the MLB for Kansas City, Cincinnati, Boston and with the New York Mets. It was later while with the Pirates in the minor leagues that he discovered that a career in coaching might be feasible.
"I still remember when I was playing with the Pirates, Lloyd McClendon and Dave Littlefield, they called me into the office one day and said when I get done, they'd like me to come coach," Nunnally said. "One day, that same year, I was in Triple-A Indianapolis and Mark Shapiro walked across the field and said, 'When you're done, you're going to coach for us.'"
While relationships with Assistant General Manger Kyle Stark and General Manager Neal Huntington helped Nunnally be welcomed back, it was a conversation with former Pirate first baseman Kevin Young that led him to the Pirates and Altoona.
"One day we met together in church and we just sat down and started talking, Nunnally said. "He just started running things by me because he knew I had already been a major league hitting coach and he was taking over the offensive side of baseball in the minor leagues for the Pirates. We just started talking and hashing things out and we just kept going.
"I just hung in there and kept staying on the game, staying on the grind of whenever they wanted me to do something I did. And in the end it all worked out."
Nunnally was a perfect fit for the Curve having been teammates with manager Michael Ryan when the two played winter ball in Venezuela.
"He was young, I was one of the older guys," Nunnally said. "He was a younger guy that everyone knew, the young stud that was on the team and playing the game. Me and Michael, playing down there, I remember watching him hit and he could hit the ball all over the field.
Now that he's not watching Ryan from a distance, Nunnally has noticed that not much has changed for the cerebral Ryan.
"Watching him right now, he does the same things as a manager he did as a player. He's instilling the discipline part of the game to get them to understand what they need to do."
The same can be said for Ryan, who has embraced having Nunnally beside him in the dugout this season for the Curve.
"I watched him from afar whenever I was just getting into coaching and he was coaching in Portland. I knew the intelligence he has for the game and the passion he has," Ryan said.
Through his love of the game and experiences in the game, Nunnally brings a wealth of knowledge to the Altoona coaching staff including being the guy the manager seeks for advice when necessary.
"It's a laid back attitude that is very calm and relaxing," Ryan said. "And it's a guy I look to in certain situations whenever I'm frustrated and he's a guy I go to for advice and to try to learn. He brings everything to the table and we're fortunate enough to have him on this staff."
Jared Oliva, OF -- Oliva, 23, was 8 for 20 (.400) over the course of the past week with five RBIs and two runs scored. Oliva is hitting .285 for Altoona this season.
Oneil Cruz, SS -- Cruz, 20, was 3 for 22 (.136) with two doubles and a triple. On Monday, Cruz went 2 for 4 with two RBIs to bring his average up to .192 with Altoona.
Top starting performance: Beau Sulser went five innings Thursday night against Trenton, earning his eighth win of the season. Sulser, a reliever, allowed two earned runs on two hits and struck out four. Sulser is 8-1 with a 2.50 ERA for Altoona this season.
Top reliever: Yeudy Garcia threw four shutout innings Tuesday against Trenton, allowing four hits and striking out two. He's 1-1 with a 4.97 ERA on the season.
7/30: INF Oneil Cruz promoted to Altoona. INF Darnell Sweeney assigned to Altoona. INF Jerrick Suiter activated from 7-day injured list. INF Alfredo Reyes changed position to RHP; assigned to Class-A Greensboro. INF Gift Ngoepe released. OF Bralin Jackson placed on 7-day injured list.
8/1: RHP Cody Ponce assigned to Altoona. RHP Austin Coley placed on 7-day injured list.
8/5: RHP Clay Holmes begins MLB Rehab Assignment.
The road trip wasn't very kind to Altoona as they went 2-6 over the course of their trip. The Curve managed to win Tuesday and Thursday with 6-0 and 4-2 victories respectively.
Altoona kicked off their seven game home stand with a 6-5 victory over Richmond. They will host Reading over the weekend.
The Allegheny Yinzers promotion has been spectacular for Altoona this season, but sadly the black-and-gold jerseys are saying good bye later this week.

The debt is an obligation that a natural or legal person has to fulfill its payment commitments, fruit of the exercise of its economic activity.
The main purpose of debt issuance is to search for financing , the problem is when the cost of financing becomes more expensive because investors consider that the purchase of the same has more risk, due to the future probability of its return (solvency ), demanding more profitability for the possession of the same through a risk premium . At this point, it will not be the same in terms of security refers a bond of the German state that the issuance of a bond of a small company and that is not listed on the market, which is what is called private equity .
Types of debt
Debts can take different forms, maturities and uses:
A discount.
With periodic payment of coupons.
With different issue prices and quotes.
Debt convertible into products with more risk and subject to market fluctuations.
Debt that is used as an underlying asset in derivative products , such as Futures .
Senior with a real guarantee or guarantee, also called collateral .
Debt is very important in financial markets, since it allows the economy to continue working, without forgetting that whenever we think about the word in question, it can be scary, since it is an obligation to pay to third parties and when not can be paid becomes a serious problem. In recent times, techniques have been developed such as raising assets to prevent the creditor from tracking the outstanding debt owed to the debtor.
Finally, indicate that there are different credit ratings by rating agencies , which qualify the debt according to a series of criteria, which in many cases are questioned due to their lack of independence and the unorthodox methods they use to value it, with the objective of assessing the security of an issue.
There are two clearly differentiated groups in the financial markets from which other types of debt hang. Attentive to the emitter we find:
Public debt : it belongs to the State.
Private debt : corresponds to the debt issued by private bodies.
Other meanings that we can find in real life, such as l a legal debt, active, moral, external and internal to a country or households.

Bottle Bank
A Joycean Counterpart
Christchurch Place, Dublin
Bottle Bank is deposited inside the ruins of St Nicholas Within opposite Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin. It straddles the literal heart of the capital city, 'the ancient kingdom of the Danes.' The project is a pub and a bank situated in an abandoned church that reflects on cultural and social conditions of Irish identity. Through a close reading of James Joyce's work, the thesis proposes an imaginative and witty proposal that is grounded in actual cultural, economic and urban conditions.
Identifying Guinness as a currency, the bank is resurrected by the pub in a social reading of where money matters most. In doing so, unexpected counterparts between the two reveal themselves. Concurrently, the bank has waned and it's presence has declined within cities. The monumental institution was once integral to the fabric of a city not only because of its function but because of it's physical appearance. The pub however, remains unabated, and is the true site of monetary concern and interaction within modern society. The project questions how thriving typologies and cultural rooted businesses (the pub) can merge with decaying civic programs (the bank and the church) and aid them to survive with the grace and power they once had historically.
General thirst. Good puzzle would be cross Dublin without passing a pub. Save it they can't. – James Joyce, Ulysses

In my thesis, I examine how a designer can get into a good start with their career. The designer I'm examining works typically in a field of furniture and product design.
I have interviewed Finnish product and furniture designers and employees of Finnish design brands. I have also interviewed design educators and a representative of a PR company.
My lighting fixture designs are closely related to my thesis. I am using them as case examples, describing how I have tried to start my career and get my first products into companies' selections. My goal is to map out the field of design and try to help others on the start of their careers.

The Hoxton Hotel's interior design has a mid-century style with an artistic feel. Therefore, this gave the team at USA Fire Protection an extra challenge. As a result, limited ceiling space was available for sprinkler piping. USA Fire Protection was committed to providing the Hoxton Hotel with the optimal fire safety solution while keeping up with the aesthetics. Above all, USA Fire Protection completed the sprinkler piping to work with the industrial concrete ceilings. To see other projects that USA Fire Protection has completed, visit our project page here.

What is Premier League?
England's primary football competition and the most-watched football league in the world
Founded: February 20, 1992
Confederation: UEFA
Number of Teams: 20 (from 1995-96)
Relegation to : Football League Championship
Country: England
The Premier League is an English experts' league for men's affiliated football clubs. It is the peak epitome of professional football competition. Contested by 20 clubs, it works on an arrangement of advancement and relegation with the Football League. Other than English clubs, the Welsh clubs that contend in the English football club framework can likewise qualify to play.
The competition framed as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992 after the choice of clubs in the Football League First Division, which was initially established in 1888. This arrangement is worth £1 billion a year locally starting 2013–14, with BT Club securing the residential rights to telecast 116 and 38 diversions individually. The league produces €2.2 billion every year in local and universal TV rights.
The Premier League is the most-watched football league on the planet, telecast in 212 domains to 643 million homes and a potential TV gathering of people of 4.7 billion individuals. In the 2010–11 seasons, the normal Premier League match participation was 35,363, the second most elevated of any expert football association behind the Bundesliga, and stadium inhabitance was 92% limit. The Premier League positioned second in the UEFA coefficients of leagues in view of exhibitions in European rivalries in the course of the most recent five years.
Teams taking part
The Premier League is a partnership in which the 20 part clubs go about as shareholders. Seasons keep running from August to May, with clubs playing 38 coordinates every (playing every club in the association twice, home and away) totaling 380 matches in the season.
Most amusements are played in the evenings of Saturdays and Sundays, alternate diversions amid weekday nighttime's. It is as of now supported by Barclays Bank and along these lines authoritatively known as the Barclays Premier League and is informally known as the Premiership. Of the 47 clubs to have contended following the beginning of the Premier League in 1992, five have won the title: Manchester United (13), Chelsea (4), Arsenal (3), Manchester City (2) and Blackburn Rovers (1). The flow champions are Chelsea, who won the title in 2014–15.
There are 17 rules in the official Laws of the Game. The same principles are intended to apply to all levels of soccer, albeit certain changes for gatherings, for example, youngsters, seniors, or ladies are allowed. The laws are frequently encircled in wide terms, which permit adaptability in their application relying upon the way of the diversion. Notwithstanding the 17 laws, various IFAB choices and different mandates add to the regulation of football.
Competition format
There are 20 Teams in the Premier League, and each and every club in the League confronts 19 Other Teams Twice a Season (Home and Away Fixtures). That compares to 38. After you incorporate 38 Matches from the first club that you check, you need to discard 2 from the 38 of the following club you incorporate on the grounds that those two matches were at that point incorporated into the 38 that meant your first club.
Fundamentally, these were the two matches your two clubs played against one another (Home and Away), and the 2 is excluded to maintain a strategic distance from "two fold bookkeeping" for the same apparatuses. We would prefer not to need to check the same apparatuses twice, as each installation must be extraordinarily represented.
The third club you incorporate will have 4 installations overlooked from its 38, seeing as these apparatuses were at that point represented in the figuring, which means your new expansion are 34. What's more, correspondingly that gets to be 32 for the fourth club, 30 for the fifth, thus on until you get to 2 for the twentieth and last club.
What determines teams to be relegated?
In games classes, promotion and relegation is a procedure where clubs are exchanged between two divisions in light of their execution for the finished season. The best-positioned club or clubs in the lower division are elevated to the higher division for the following season, and the most exceedingly awful positioned club or clubs in the higher division are consigned to the lower division for the following season.
In a few associations, playoffs or qualifying rounds are likewise used to decide rankings. This procedure can precede through a few levels of divisions, with clubs being traded between levels 1 and 2, levels 2 and 3, levels 3 and 4, et cetera. Amid the season, clubs that are sufficiently high in the association table that they would fit the bill for advancement are now and again said to be in the advancement zone, and those at the base are in the assignment zone (or, conversationally, the drop zone or confronting zone).

The Chancellor's Conference speech contained a statement about disabled people and benefits which was misleading, but went largely unchallenged by the mainstream media. Mr Osborne promised a two year freeze on working age benefits if the Conservatives are re-elected but made a point of saying, "disability benefits will be excluded". Is that true?
When I was young, my father often used to repeat a saying his mother had told him, "To whom much is given, of them much is expected." It was long time before I realised that this early version of "check out your privilege" was in fact quoting Jesus in the Bible (Luke 12:48), but I have never forgotten it, and I always try to live by it.
Pensioner families across the UK will suffer social security cuts worth £6.38bn a year by the time the government's welfare reforms have taken full effect, the TUC warned yesterday (18 August)
In an interview on LBC radio, Iain Duncan Smith displayed a startling ignorance of the social security benefits he has been administering, and cutting, for the last four years.
New analysis published by the TUC shows that the majority of claimants who will be hit by the new five-week wait welfare reform are short-term claimants who only claim benefit for a few weeks.
Welfare, education and the NHS are all being hit by the same cuts, driven, not by a desire to improve the national debt (which is now significantly worse than 2010), says Virginia Moffatt, but by a poisonous ideology that private profit must come before common good. "So I decided that the time had come to move somewhere, where I can be in a position to challenge that ideology. I have joined Ekklesia as the new Chief Operating Officer, because I can see what an important role a think-tank linking good quality research and ideas to civic action, political change and a positive role for churches and other NGOs can play in influencing mainstream politics. That is what I want to be part of."
People in the UK unable to work because of depression may have their benefits stopped if they do not undergo cognitive behavioural therapy, which it is assumed will cure them, a newspaper has reported. If this plan goes ahead, sizeable numbers of mentally ill people are likely to die.
People campaigning for the abolition of the Work Capability Assessment have often quoted figures from the Department for Work and Pensions which state that between January 2011 and November 2011, 10,600 sick and disabled people died within six weeks of their benefit claim ending.
As the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions insists that all is well at the DWP, Universal Credit is on track, and attitudes towards disabled people have improved, an independent report this week delivered a damning verdict on how the DWP itself treats sick and disabled people.
Successive UK governments have made it harder for people in need to get social security, at a devastating human cost. Public services have also been cut, supposedly to save money. Might this have ended up costing taxpayers more?

Zika fever is an illness that is caused by the Zika virus and spread through the bite of an infected mosquito, primarily the yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito. The disease has occurred in twenty regions in the Americas and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency of international concern in February 2016.
Many cases have no symptoms but those that do are usually mild in nature and often resemble other vector borne viruses including dengue fever. Symptoms include headache, fever, joint pain, and are often accompanied by a red rash. Symptoms typically last less than seven days and there have been no deaths reported during the initial stage of infection. However, infection in adults has been linked to Guillian-Barre syndrome, a disorder that causes paralysis and in some cases death. Infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly a severe birth defect which results in infants been born with abnormally small heads.
Along with the bite of an infected mosquito, the virus can also be sexually transmitted. Researchers also believe the disease can be spread through blood transfusions. A positive diagnosis of the disease can be performed through testing of the blood, urine or saliva. Spread of the disease can be prevented by limiting mosquito bites in the areas where the disease in known to occur along with the use of condoms. The use of insect repellent, clothing treated with DEET and removing containers with standing water where mosquitoes are known to reproduce are recommended along with a mosquito control plan designed by your knowledgeable Knock 'Em Out Pest Control professional.
• Use insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus – always follow the product directions and reapply as directed
• When using sunscreen, apply the sunscreen first, allow it to dry and then apply insect repellent
• Cover exposed skin by wearing shirts with long-sleeves and long pants
• Sleep in rooms that are air-conditioned and have screened in windows
• When spending time outdoor camping, use a bed net to limit exposure
• Eliminate standing water
• Check window & door screens for holes and tears
There is no vaccine for the Zika virus however the development of a vaccine is the top priority of the US National Institute of Health (NIH). According to researchers, a vaccine may be available for emergency use towards the end of 2016. There have been 388 travel associated cases of the Zika virus in the United States. Of this number, 33 occurred in pregnant women and 8 were sexually transmitted.
For more information on mosquito control barrier spraying contact the professionals at Knock 'Em Out Pest Control to control and eliminate mosquitoes. Using environmentally safe pest control products, our experienced technicians will spray your foliage and wooded areas and target areas where mosquitoes and ticks live, killing pests on contact and protecting your yard for weeks.

Autoharps have, I forget, something like 38 strings, maybe more. I have never heard of anyone restringing an autoharp. I think new strings are like a billion dollars or something ridiculous - it's just a bunch of wire anyway.
So what I mean is the strings are usually old. I talked about this before somewhere; but old strings might ring the correct pitch/note when you first pluck or hit them. but as they "ring", the note "decays".
You can see this on an etuna - tune the string to exact pitch by plucking it about every 2 seconds - this offsets the decay factor, since the string is always "freshly plucked". that will yield a fairly steady reading on the tuna gauge needle meter screen whatever.
After you have it accurately tuned, pluck it once - and watch the needle onscreen lite up on the exact note, and then watch it "decay".
If you tone in the decay phase, you will be tuning all day. If you tune it before it decays - it will get tuned. Similarly, when it is being played, the autoharp is being constantly strummed or plucked - so the decay factor is not there - it get strummed before the decay becomes noticeable - usually.
It's the same thing with dead guitar strings, or mandolin strings.
New strings will resist decay for maybe a day or two - after that, it's a gradual deterioration - and if you don't know this, then your etuna will always leave you out of the ballpark, or out in deep left center field.

Even Levi Damien knows the Raiders have to move on from Carrbage.
Pussyfooting around trading Derek Carr is simply not an option

1 hour ago
There is a pressing dilemma facing the Raiders this offseason. Roll with Derek Carr or roll the dice and move on from him. The fans seem to be split on this decision. Not everyone for the same reason. My take is that there is only one wrong answer: to play it safe.
Let me explain this in the best way I can; through movies.
Probably the greatest film ever made was Shawshank Redemption (fight me). And the most famous line from that film was when Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) tells his friend Red (Morgan Freeman) that it comes down to a simple choice; "get busy livin' or get busy dyin'."
This line naturally came across as pretty ominous to Red. Then came the morning when the inmates stepped outside their cells for roll call and Andy was not there, instantly Red's worry was that Andy had decided to 'get busy dyin.'
Red soon found out, after the warden ripped down a poster off the wall of Andy's cell, that his friend Andy had other plans in mind.
Seeing as Shawshank is the second most televised film of all time (behind Mrs. Doubtfire), most of you are probably pretty familiar with the film. If not **SPOILER ALERT** Andy escaped from the prison. He broke open a sewer line and "crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side."
The lesson here is Andy was decisive. He didn't play it safe. He took action to 'get busy livin'. All he would've needed to do in order to 'get busy dyin' was to do nothing.
No great story was ever told by people playing it safe. Being great and overcoming the odds takes courage in your convictions.
Whatever Jon Gruden decides to do with Derek Carr, he must make that decision for the right reason. That reason can't be because 'Well…I guess there's no better option so…" No. You make this decision based on whether you think Derek Carr is the guy who can lead you to the promised land. If he isn't, you move on. Period.
You do NOT keep Carr for fear that whomever you replace him with might also not be the answer.
Need proof that is the wrong approach? Let me tell you a story about another Andy who took a chance and 'got busy livin'.' One who happens to be an old friend of Gruden — Andy Reid.
A couple years ago, Andy Reid had it nice and safe with Alex Smith as his QB. The Chiefs made the playoffs four out of five years Smith was the starter. And they got one playoff win out of it. Reid wanted more. He didn't want safe. He wanted a championship. And he knew Alex Smith wasn't the guy to get it for him. So, he traded up in the draft to get Patrick Mahomes. A year later, Mahomes was MVP and a year after that, Reid had his Lombardi.
I hate to keep ragging on Alex Smith, but the same thing happened in San Francisco. They benched him – their former number one overall pick — in favor of second-year guy Colin Kaepernick and immediately went to the Super Bowl. Then they traded Smith for a second-round pick. The Chiefs later got a third-round pick and Kendall Fuller for Smith.
Keep in mind that Smith went his final 8 seasons without posting a losing record. He is the definition of a safe move. Carr has had one winning season in his six-year career.
Yes, yes, wins are not a QB stat. And I am not putting all those losses on him. What I am asking is, what safety are the Raiders getting? What exactly is there to be so afraid of? Dropping further below mediocrity?
In the end, if Gruden legitimately thinks Carr is the QB to run his offense to its full capacity and make this team into a Super Bowl contender, keep him. If he does not, then you trade him. Because if you keep him merely for fear of a lack of a better immediate option, and the Raiders end up back to hovering around .500 after next season, all you've done is put yourself back in the same situation, only this time with Carr holding less trade value and just one mid-first round pick instead of two.
" only this time with Carr holding less trade value and just one mid-first round pick instead of two."
This is something many fans are overlooking. Carr's trade value will plummet if we're at status-quo next March. That's literally money being thrown into the fire..
I actually think Carr's value is about a high second round pick, or maybe a low second and a low fourth round pick.
If you read other teams' boards, they are all about going after Carr. Remember, Carr looked GREAT in 2016 and some team may be thinking they can coach him back to greatness. For a second round pick, it might be worth the chance.
Interesting how Gruden and Mayock have said NOTHING about Carr's job security. Nothing. If anything, Mayock said it just as WE see it -- the Raiders will evaluate the QB position, just as they do with every position, and if they can upgrade there, they will. Simple enough.
My gut feeling is that Carr is done with the Raiders. Gruden and Mayock are in lock step with this decision. They both see a "safe" QB who takes few chances. Carr's floor is higher than many QBs, but his ceiling is a lot lower than most of the young QBs and even a few vets.

Can we get a 1st for Carrbage this year ? I doubt it, but who knows ? Desperate teams do stupid things.
Personally, I'd trade Carrbage for a bag of rocks.
Levi's point about trading Carrbage NOW is a good one, though.
There is absolutely no reason to stick with Carrbage for another year if Gruden and Mayock have determined that Carrbage isn't good enough to take the Raiders to the promised land.
Actually, Carrbage would have little to no value at all in a trade if it wasn't for his relatively low priced (for a starting QB) contract. Just about everyone realizes by now that he's a mediocre pussy. But if you're desperate for a QB and can get Pussyboy for a year or two, locked in at a reasonable yearly salary, you might give up a 2nd this year.
To me, the greatest value in moving Carr now is finally getting him off the roster and ridding the Raiders of his Pussyboy stank. If we can get a 1st or 2nd for him, it's an absolute no-brainer.
It's great that the Raider beat writer is openly writing an article explaining why the Raiders should stop pussyfooting around with Pussyboy !
Carr is done with the Raiders. A lot of smoke surrounding Carr. There is a fire brewing.

From the reason we see things out of the corner of our eye to the difference between residual and intelligent hauntings. Effigy Paranormal has our own ideas. Following you will find a few theories we have developed through our search for the truth behind the paranormal.
The reason we see things out of the corner of our eye and they seem to disappear once we look straight at them may have to do with the anatomy and photoreceptors in our eyes. Click here to find out more.
The Stone Tape theory is the speculation that ghosts and hauntings are analogous to tape recordings, and that mental impressions during emotional or traumatic events can be projected in the form of energy, "recorded" onto rocks and other items and "replayed" under certain conditions.
Parapsychology is the study of alleged psychic phenomena (extrasensory-perception, as in telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokenesis a.k.a. telekinesis, and psychometry) and other paranormal claims. It is considered to be pseudoscience by a vast majority of mainstream scientists, in part because, in addition to a lack of replicable empirical evidence, parapsychological claims simply cannot be true "unless the rest of science isn't.
Table-turning (also known as table-tapping, table-tipping or table-tilting) is a type of seance in which participants sit around a table, place their hands on it, and wait for rotations. The table was purportedly made to serve as a means of communicating with the spirits; the alphabet would be slowly called over and the table would tilt at the appropriate letter, thus spelling out words and sentences. The process is similar to that of an Ouija board. Scientists and skeptics consider table-turning to be the result of the ideomotor effect, or conscious trickery.
An ouija board is a device used to communicate with "the other side". It consists of a board with all of the letters of the alphabet along with the digits 0–9 and short words like "yes", "no" and "bye". It also has a pointer of some sort, either a triangle or a magnifying glass, that passes easily over the board; this is known as a planchette. According to believers, once everyone has a hand on the pointer, then the spirits will move it over the letters to answer questions asked by the group.
Energy from a traumatic event is trapped in an object at the location.
When environmental circumstances are correct, the energy replays a certain aspect of the traumatic event.
This type of activity is either present in location already or will occur when someone buys an Antique or brings an object into home that the energy is connected to.
*TAPS website
The spirit of a once living human, complete with personality and understanding. The activity reacts to changes in the environment. Meaning if you decide to move your furniture around, It can see and realize that.
It can and will change its movements to walk by the furniture instead of walking through. The activity can interact with the environment. Known for moving small objects, Picture frames, Glasses, Papers, Coffee mugs, Etc. Communication can be made
*TAPS website
Psychics (also known as intuitives) receive messages from Universal Energy, what some people call the quantum field, which includes your personal aura (energy). This ability is best used for guidance around life issues and direction.
Mediums (often called psychic mediums because they are both psychic and mediumistic) receive messages from spirits, including our deceased loved ones and our spirit guides, ascended masters, and angels. Their ability is best for spirit communication.
It is often said that all mediums are psychics (meaning that they have both abilities).
by Bob Olson, Best Psychic Directory
Within ghost hunting and parapsychology, electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are sounds found on electronic recordings that are interpreted as spirit voices that have been either unintentionally recorded or intentionally requested and recorded. Parapsychologist Konstanstins Raudive, who popularized the idea in the 1970s, described EVP as typically brief, usually the length of a word or short phrase.
Smudging is a symbolic exercise found in feng shui practice, many Native American traditions, and alternative healing practices. It involves burning selected herbs or other materials in a manner that fills the home or other space with the fragrance of the smoke, and it is thought to clear negative energy. Smudging can sound a bit intimidating to beginners and may seem unsafe or complicated, but in reality, it is quite easy and completely safe when you follow some simple steps.
A demon is a supernatural and often malevolent being prevalent historically in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology, and folklore; as well as in media such as comics, videogames, movies and television series. The original Greek word daimon does not carry negative connotations.

Ryan Baum
Editor's Note: This post is part of our Big Ideas series, a column highlighting the innovative thinking and thought leadership at IIeX events around the world. Ryan Baum will be speaking at IIeX North America 2020 in Austin, April 14-16. If you liked this article, you'll LOVE IIeX North America. Click here to learn more.
Over the years there's been a great deal of public debate over whether the Washington Redskins should change their team name, and yet up till now, there's been barely any research into understanding how Native Americans themselves feel about the team name Redskins. We along with two other prominent market research companies teamed up to do precisely that by interviewing a representative sample of 500 people who self-identified as Native Americans across the United States. Our study dug far deeper than any prior research done on the subject. The study's objectives were not only to understand how Natives feel about the team name Redskins but also to identify why they feel the way they do.
Emotional DNA
In testing more than 40 emotions, the number one emotion that Native Americans felt towards the name Redskins was proud. There was a lot of mixed emotion but on the whole natives felt more positive overall than they did negative towards the name. Furthermore, in order to draw comparisons, we tested various other Native American themed teams including the Atlanta Braves, Chicago Blackhawks, Cleveland Indians, and Kansas City Chiefs. While natives felt overall positive towards the name Redskins, every other team name analyzed outperformed the name Redskins in overall likability.
Next, we examined why Native Americans felt the emotions they did. Natives who 'liked' the name Redskins (41%), liked it largely because they felt it honors or represents their heritage, and it's a historic name that has been around for a long time. Natives who 'disliked' the name Redskins (27%), disliked it largely because they perceived the name to be racist and derogatory. Then there were other natives who felt 'indifferent' (32%) and simply weren't bothered by the name.
Next, we wanted to take a deeper look into the emotion offended given that it's the emotion that arises most often by people making the case for changing the team name. When looking at the Native American population, a majority (68%) were not offended by the name Redskins. They weren't offended predominantly because they saw it as just a name, they don't think it's intended to be harmful, and again it honors or represents their heritage. Moreover, Native Americans who weren't offended believe that too many people are overly sensitive. Natives who felt offended towards the name were offended largely because they felt there's a double standard (wouldn't be tolerable with other ethnicities), it's insensitive to a long history of suffering, and again they considered the name as derogatory and racist. Of the Native Americans who were offended by the team name, a majority (54%) were also offended by the team's logo. Natives who were offended by the Redskins logo were offended largely because they perceived it to be an inaccurate portrayal of their people, and yet again they viewed it as derogatory and racist. Native Americans who were not offended by the logo weren't offended by it principally because they perceived it as just a picture, they saw no negative connotation, and thought that the logo illustrates pride.
Changing the Name
More than a two-thirds majority of Native Americans (68%) favor keeping the team name Redskins as-is. Natives who prefer holding onto the name, want to keep it for many of the same reasons; because it's a historic name that been around for a long time, they think too many people are overly sensitive, they view it as just a name, and believe it honors and represents their heritage. Natives who would like the name changed want it replaced because they believe there are more appropriate name alternatives to choose from, and once again they view it as derogatory, racist, and offensive. Another interesting finding was that younger Native Americans (ages 18-34) were statistically more likely to believe the name should be changed than older respondents (ages 35+). There were no gender differences observed.
What's Next?
While the Redskins team owner Daniel Snyder is on record saying, "I'll never change the name of the Redskins", we still wanted to find out if a happier medium exists. Some Native Americans want the name changed because they consider it offensive, while others want to preserve it because they feel it honors and represents their heritage. For that reason, we crafted a fictitious name, Washington Warriors which would achieve both – changing the name to something that would be less offensive while simultaneously honoring or representing Native American heritage. When testing the fictitious name Warriors against the current name Redskins, more Natives (39%) favored preserving the Redskins name than changing it to Warriors (34%) showcasing the value of tradition and the Redskins storied history.
The intention of this study was not to offer our opinion, it was present facts and inform the general public about how Native Americans themselves feel about the team name Redskins. Now people have more information at hand when forming their own opinions as to whether the Redskins should change their team name. One thing that was made clear through this study is that there's no situation that will satisfy everyone. But then again, when it comes to Washington, when has there ever been a situation where everyone was satisfied?

Another Printing Disasters—and How to Avoid Them story…
Over the weekend I bought an Apple iPod Shuffle to use at my new writer's desk. I could hardly wait to unwrap it and start using it!
Apple's industrial design choices were smart and beautiful, as usual. The iPod came in a sweet little clear plastic cube, sealed with clear plastic tape with a subtle arrow that showed me how to unwrap it. Inside the box, the iPod sat on a little tray, beneath which were the earbuds, a USB cable, and a booklet labeled, "start here."
Every customer action had been thought through, so taking the components out of the box was like unwrapping a specially wrapped gift. Lovely!
I did not love the instructions, though. They were extremely minimal and were set in tiny type. Nowhere in the booklet did it say, "For complete instructions, go to: support.apple.com/manuals/ipod."
Instead—on the very last page—it said, "For important safety and instructional content, see the user guide: support.apple.com/manuals/ipod." Instructional content? What is that? As usability expert Steve Krug says, "Don't make me think!"

Only a few days left to undo a 2017 Roth conversion
The new tax law eliminated the ability to recharacterize Roth IRA conversions. However, the IRS subsequently announced that any Roth IRA conversions completed in 2017 could still be recharacterized under the "old" rules. But there are only a few days left. To recharacterize, the client must transfer the converted amount, plus the net income or loss attributable, by Oct. 15. Any assets that are recharacterized can be later reconverted back to a Roth IRA. However, you have to wait more than 30 days after the recharacterization to reconvert the recharacterized assets.
With the deadline just days away, make sure every client who converted in 2017 is notified, so they don't ask you later "Why didn't you tell me?"
Not all 2017 Roth conversions should be undone, but they should be evaluated before the clock runs out.
This is not to say that 2017 Roth conversions should all be undone, but they should be evaluated before the clock runs out. Most clients have made money so they probably shouldn't undo those tax-free gains, but you should ask anyway.
Now is the time to review the recharacterization rules and determine which of your clients could benefit from this last go-round. There are several reasons why a client might want to reverse a 2017 Roth IRA conversion, such as: 1) the value of the investments in the converted Roth IRA has decreased since the date of the conversion; 2) the client does not have enough cash to pay the taxes resulting from the conversion; 3) the client earned more taxable income than originally anticipated and/or the additional income from the Roth IRA conversion bumped the client into a higher federal income tax bracket
To implement this, the client (with your help) must notify the Roth IRA custodian by Oct. 15 with this info:
- Type and amount of the contribution to be recharacterized
- The date and year on which the contribution was made to the Roth IRA
- A request that the Roth IRA custodian complete a trustee-to-trustee transfer of the amount (plus the net income allocable) to the sponsor of a traditional IRA
- The identity of the sponsors of the Roth IRA and the traditional IRA
- Any other information necessary to complete the transfer
By making the election and completing the recharacterization, the Roth conversion income will be removed from 2017 taxable income. By recharacterizing, and then later reconverting, the client can end up with a Roth IRA at a lower tax cost.
Recharacterization isn't an all-or-nothing decision. In fact, many taxpayers have used partial recharacterizations to pinpoint the exact amount to convert to fill up a tax bracket.
This is your last hurrah with a tax strategy that was unfairly demonized by various lawmakers on Capitol Hill during the tax reform debates. They called it an unfair tax avoidance tactic that was open to abuse and encouraged speculative investing. However, in reality, a recharacterization allows taxpayers to maximize tax brackets and tax spending while effectively planning for retirement. Don't let this planning opportunity pass by you… and your clients!

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. These stuffed mushrooms are a piece of food heaven with a perfect combination of cream cheese, herbs, crab meat, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Wash your mushrooms and carefully take off the stems. Toss the mushrooms lightly in olive oil and set aside.
Preheat a saute pan and 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium high heat. Saute the finely chopped mushrooms and onion until starting to caramelize. Press garlic into the onion/mushroom mixture and saute just until fragrant. Set veggies aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, cooked veggies, cream cheese, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, dill weed, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix very well until all combined.
Place the mushroom cups into the baking dish. Carefully fill the cups with the mixture pressing down lightly with your finger to fit a little bit more.
Bake crab stuffed mushrooms for about 20-25 minutes making sure that the mushrooms are completely cooked and hot throughout. (If you are using smaller mushrooms then adjust the time accordingly since they will bake faster.)
