AN ITALIAN mafia doyen on the run for 25 years has been arrested in Alicante.
Fausto Pellegrinetti is reportedly charged with money laundering and cocaine trafficking to the tune of 550 kilogrammes.
He had escaped Italian house arrest in October 1993, before police tracked him to a luxury penthouse in Alicante and arrested him on Sunday, at around 2pm.
Police suspect him of living under a false identity in the city for several years. They say he is also known as 'Franco' or 'Enrico'.
Believed to be an important figure in Rome's mafia – notably the 'La Magliana' ring – he had already been sentenced to 13 years in prison. He Is also reportedly associated with the Marsigliesi, Berenguer, Bellicini and Bergamelli clans.
A joint investigation by Spanish and Italian police into the ring led them to Pellegrinetti, who they believe has remained active in the criminal underworld for decades.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Police spokesperson Luigi Silipo told reporters: "Fausto Pellegrinetti is a person who represents 50/60 years of criminal history of Rome. He is the first Roman criminal that was declared wanted."

Hybrid simulation is a powerful class of experimental techniques that couples physical experimentation with computational simulation. This approach enables a detailed examination of complex engineering systems while imposing realistic conditions on the selected, often unknown, physical subsystems. Originally pioneered in the field of earthquake engineering, this approach is increasingly being adopted and utilized for a variety of purposes in our laboratories. This webinar will provide an introduction to the range of methods in this class, the essential components needed to perform a hybrid simulation, a few recent experiments performed using this method, and a readily available sample code / learning tool that is available.
The webinar is intended for new users to gain experience with the use of real-time hybrid simulation.
This webinar is the first in a series, Hybrid Simulation 101, being organized by the Multi-hazard Engineering Collaboratory on Hybrid Simulation (MECHS) virtual community.

Leaving On A Jet Plane
View from my window seat in Houston on my way to San Diego. Here's a couple more that I added from my phone. Like the one sitting on the tarmac in San Antonio while waiting out the weather closure in Houston on the flight back from San Diego.
In the grade scheme of things the 3 hour delay was nothing compared to what it looked like some of the other travelers were going through when I finally got to Houston.

In the last 17 days, you have journeyed through self-reflection: you have identified sin and barriers to living for Christ; you have contemplated the life and incarnation of Christ; you have considered the suffering of Christ. Today we ponder suffering in the light of living for God. What is the cost of following Him?
1 Peter 4: 1-19 (NIV)
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with God's household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And,
"If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"
So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
Morning Questions:
Consider the words: "whoever suffers in the body is done with sin" (1 Peter 4: 2). How is your struggle with sin keeping you from identifying with Christ's suffering, and experiencing your own suffering for His sake?
Evening Questions:
Spend time in prayer asking God to reveal those in your midst who are suffering. Consider how this week you can "love each other deeply" (1 Peter 4:8).


text: I visited Des Moines, Iowa recently for business and arrived in time to do a little sightseeing before sundown. Sundown comes fairly early there this time of year and I only had about an hour and a half of light to wander in, so I felt quite fortunate to find this area with some interesting architecture. You're looking at the Iowa State Capitol Building reflected in the glass facade of the Henry A. Wallace Building, which itself has an official state function--I think Department of Agriculture or something like that. Except for the bare trees this could pass for a warm summer day. Pictures lie! It was a chilly 20 degrees F. Shot this with the Sigma DP1 McKillop.

MGB conducts geohazard assessment near mine site of OceanaGold
To assess the communities near the mining sites, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau Region 02 conducted a rapid geohazard and safety assessment in barangays near or adjacent to OceanaGold Philippines Incorporated particularly Brgys. Alimit and Didipio, Kasibu, Nueva Vizcaya on Sept. 24-27, 2018.
The said assessment was in line with the government's efforts to reduce, if not totally mitigate the destructive effects and impacts of natural hazards to the community.
The technical team was composed of Geologists Chad Lowe S. Aquino and Jiles Arvin A. Vergara, Engr. Robert Carreon, and Senior Environmental Management Specialist Jose delos Santos.
According to their assessment report, the assessed areas were rated as having low, moderate, high, or very high critical susceptibility to landslides.
The areas assessed were only limited to sitios and puroks that are within or near the mine site of OGPI due to the limited amount of time for the assessment.
The technical team also prioritized the areas that were already identified in the latest geohazard assessment as danger zones.
Based on the 1:10,000-scale geohazard map produced in 2013, majority of the communitiees surrounding the OGPI mine site, including the mining area have moderate susceptibility to landslide, while the surrounding elevated areas where some puroks are situated have high susceptibility to landslides.
"This is due to the area being situated on a mountainous terrain with peak elevations ranging from 800 to 1100 meters above sea level and slopes that are moderately steep to very steep," Geologist Chad Aquino said.
According to their report assessment, some of the portions of Brgys. Alimit and Didipio that are located near the rivers could still be prone to flash flood even though they are within landslide-susceptible areas.
Meanwhile, majority of the residential areas at Purok 1 in Brgy. Alimit where there is small-scale mining activity are located in low-lying areas.
"The eight households within this portion of the purok are situated downslope of the mining area," Aquino said.
The old Barangay Health Center and Day Care Center also in Brgy. Alimit has a Very High Susceptibility rating while the abandoned/old small- scale mining area in Purok 2 has also a Very High susceptibility rating to landslide.
The quarry area for backfill materials on the boundary between Purok 2 and Purok 3 has also a High susceptibility rating to landslide.
"The road going to Alimit Elementary School in Purok 6 has also a Very High susceptibility rating to landslide which is very critical," Vergara said.
According to the assessment report, there are tension cracks generally trending northwest-southeast parallel to the road that started in 2016 and has worsened in 2017. The team assessed that Sitio Dupit is Very High susceptible to landslide.
The road to high school in Sitio Pimmadek has also a Very High susceptibility rating to landslide where the portion of circumferential road is reported to continuously fail even after two times of repair and reconstruction.
Further, the Eastern Nueva Vizcaya National High School is also assessed as having a Very High susceptibility rating.
"Based on the existing 1:10,000 scale landslide and flood hazard map, the area where the National Highschool is situated has a moderate landslide susceptibility, but due on the observed evidences of an impending mass movement, we assessed it as very critical, having a Very High susceptibility rating to landslide same with Didipio Elementary School," Vergara emphasized.
Didipio Elementary School was also assessed as having a very high susceptibility rating to landslide.
The technical team also conducted a geohazard assessment in Sitio Surong where the small-scale mining hydraulic area is located. The team found out that hill where the small scale mining activity is located is already half mined/cut. The technical team said that this posed a great risk since it is altering a terrain that greatly reduces its structural identity.
"If there will be an event that will trigger this area, for example a strong typhoon or an earthquake, this may induce failure," Aquino said.
The team recommended for a strict and continuous monitoring of the areas to avoid further hazards. -With Reports from Geosciences Division

In 2009 I want to make an elephant fly
We work in the idea business. Discovering, creating and selling ideas is how we make money and the longer you are in the business the more true this quote becomes:
"If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats." – Howard Aiken
Big ideas should scare. Clients are inherently afraid of risk because they have a job they want to keep, an organization looking over their shoulder and scrutinizing their decisions every time they turn on a TV, open a newspaper, go online or drive through the city. Even when a client sees the genius behind a big idea a mile long list of challenges lay in waiting, looking to kill that idea. Getting an idea through upper management, finance, etc may seem akin to trying to lift an elephant. A lot of effort and energy with the high possibility of getting squished.
Especially in the current times where ROI is the new creative director and every dollar spent is scrutinized original, untested and unproven creative ideas will not be welcomed with open arms…in most organizations. It is the job of the account team to take the ideas of their creative teams and sell them. This requires understanding the culture of the company, motivations of the decision makers, your clients personal motivations (awards, sales, internal recognition), where the organization is willing to invest, what measurements they value and what is the right timing among other factors. Presenting an idea only after these factors have been analyzed and addressed is the first step towards getting that elephant off the ground.
Think about the opportunity that presents to the few clients that are willing to take a risk? The opportunity is big and the rewards could be even bigger.

Insurance Reimbursements
Scalp cooling is currently a self-pay treatment. Insurance coverage for scalp cooling is not yet standard in the United States. Providers have reported that some insurance claims have been submitted to health insurance organizations and reimbursement received for scalp cooling treatment costs.
Success with reimbursement varies depending on health plan, beneficiary coverage, and geographic location. Paxman is currently engaged with a reimbursement consulting organization to assess insurance coverage for scalp cooling technologies.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has published a National Coverage Determination (NCD) for Scalp Hypothermia During Chemotherapy to Prevent Hair Loss (110.6) information.
The NCD explains that keeping the scalp cool during chemotherapy has been noted to reduce the risk of hair loss. The cooling may be done by packing the scalp with ice-filled bags or bandages, or by specially-designed devices filled with cold-producing chemicals activated during chemotherapy. The NCD states that while ice-filled bags or bandages or other devices used for scalp hypothermia during chemotherapy may be covered as supplies of the kind commonly furnished without a separate charge, no separate charge for them would be recognized.
However, Aetna considers scalp cooling i.e., using ice-filled bags/bandages, cryogel packs, or specially designed devices, including the Paxman Scalp Cooling System, medically necessary as a means to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy.
To seek reimbursement from your health insurance plan, you should consider the following steps in your submission:
1. Obtain and complete the insurance reimbursement claim form from your insurer. You may be able to download this from their website.
2. It is useful to include a copy of the JAMA publication on Scalp Cooling with your submission. We have prepared a synopsis here. View Here.
3. You will require a letter of medical necessity from your doctor to include in your submission. Download a sample here.
4. Ask your doctor for progress notes that references you are using Scalp Cooling and include them in your initial submission along with your initial enrollment form.
5. Include a copy of your receipt for payment for the cooling cap used for treatment. You will receive your receipt from Paxman Hub.
Or you can call 8445 PAXMAN (844-572-9626)
6. Please note that health insurance coverage varies among individual health plans and may be dependent on policy coverage, location, and other factors stipulated by the health insurance provider. Depending upon health benefit design, each patient may be responsible for a portion of the scalp cooling cost. Please check with your health policy provider.
Please be aware that the reimbursement process may require several conversations by phone and email with your provider. For further information and advice, please contact the Hub here.

Favourite Places in Singapore December 18, 2012Posted by misscraftyfingers in Blog, Stuff.
Tags: Singapore
This is one of my favourite places to explore in Singapore. No fancy stores/brands, cheap toiletries, a bit tacky and old fashioned, along with my favourite local craft store (Golden Dragon) ….People's Park in Chinatown. 😀
I went there after a medical appointment at NUH today. Bought yarn :p, cheap toiletries and spotted a shop that sells self-assembled bean bags!
I was curious about the price so I went in to check it out. Then the lady boss who was there saw my bag of yarn and said "Oh you crochet!". I said yeah! 😀
And we started talking about crocheting and knitting and how fun it is. hehe. Then she had a customer in the shop, so I told her it was nice meeting her and left. Forgot to ask her for her name. I'll say hi to her again the next time I'm there. 🙂
It's so nice to be able to talk about crafting with someone who has similar hobbies! 😀

In 1995, shopping in Singapore was a definite challenge. Every items needed was at a different location. Sure got us around the island.
Love the Asian Market Cafe at the formerly named Weston Stamford.

The development of new institutional economics (NIE) has been a huge advancement in economics. Despite attempts to integrate concepts such as bounded rationality, however, NIE has predominantly remained a neoclassical, equilibrium-oriented theory which primarily studies institutions only in regard to their effects on allocative efficiency, that is, in regard to transaction and agency costs. This article analyzes the effects of institutions if instead of a neoclassical concept of competition an evolutionary concept of competition in the tradition of Friedrich Hayek and Joseph Schumpeter is used. Based upon earlier work of Wolfgang Kerber (1996, 1997) and Chrysostomos Mantzavinos (2001), it is shown that the institutional framework for markets influences both the dynamics and the direction of knowledge-generation in competition processes, in which innovations are generated and tested in the market. Or to put it differently: The institutional framework influences the selection environment of the market and therefore channels the development of knowledge in evolutionary competition processes. The paper can also be seen as an attempt at a greater integration of institutional and evolutionary economics.
Competition as an Evolutionary Knowledge-Generating Process
Two major strands of evolutionary concepts of competition can be distinguished. The first one encompasses Austrian market process theory, that is, Hayek's theory of "competition as a discovery procedure" as an experimentation process (1978) and the market process theory of Israel M. Kirzner (1997). Much broader are the Schumpeterian approaches (competition as processes of innovation and imitation). Rooted in the basic ideas of Schumpeter (1934) about innovations, the entrepreneur, and economic development, concepts of dynamic competition and the main body of innovation economics have been developed (Dosi 1988; Freeman and Soete 1997; Metcalfe 1998). Particularly through the research of Richard Nelson and Sidney Winter (1982), this innovation economics has also an explicit evolutionary dimension by the application of the (biological) variation-selection-mechanism to innovation and market processes (Nelson 1995). The basic ideas of an integrated evolutionary theory of market competition (Kerber 1997) using valuable elements from all of these strands can be summarized as follows.
This evolutionary approach can be presented best by beginning with Hayek's concept of competition (1948, 1978), which differs radically from neoclassical competition. He criticized that the theory of perfect competition with its assumption of perfect knowledge "throughout assumes that state of affairs already to exist which ... the process of competition tends to bring about" (1948, 92). From the Hayekian perspective, the knowledge of both firms and consumers in real markets has to be characterized as imperfect, subjective, and fallible knowledge, in other words, the agents can never be sure whether their knowledge is correct, and therefore have to search for better knowledge. As a consequence, market competition primarily should be seen as a process of parallel experimentation, in which firms compete with different hypotheses (conjectures) about good solutions for the problems of the demand side and can learn from each other through imitation. The crucial point of this "discovery procedure" (Hayek 1978) is that only through the market test is the knowledge generated of which of the products or services of the competing firms are the superior problem solutions. In that respect, competition can be seen as a "test of hypotheses" (Kerber 1997), in which knowledge is generated and spread by imitation.
A more detailed analysis shows that the products the firms offer can be described as a complex bundle of traits of performance as, for example, the technical features and quality of the product, its image, service, warranties, price, and so on. Each firm has to perform a large set of activities to develop, design, produce, finance, advertise, and sell their products, which requires knowledge, skills, and capabilities ("knowledge base of the firm" [Dosi 1988, 1126]). The entire knowledge of the firms, whether being explicit or tacit knowledge, skills, or routines, has to be seen as conjectures or hypotheses whose use may...

Facebook Tries to Enter Text Messaging Market
Offers message service available for non-members
Facebook revamped its Facebook Messenger service today in an attempt to get people to dump mobile-phone text messaging in favor of something more sophisticated.
Facebook Messenger today is essentially an instant-messaging network, complete with separate apps to use the service. But with the new incarnation, people need only a phone number, and no Facebook account, said Peter Deng, Facebook's director of communications product management, at the LeWeb show here.

Greg Bird bats vs. James Paxton in simulated action at Yankees camp on Feb. 21. NorthJersey.com
TAMPA, Fla. – DJ LeMahieu might appear blocked on the Yankees' infield, but the manager sees him as a regular player on the 2019 club.
"Even with everybody healthy, it's not hard to imagine him pretty much playing every day,'' Aaron Boone said.
Reunited with veteran shortstop Troy Tulowitzki – his teammate in Colorado – plays a part in this scenario for LeMahieu.
"I kind of envision Troy getting a couple days (off) a week,'' Boone said, which means two days when Gleyber Torres slides over from second base to start at shortstop.
"That's two days for LeMahieu there'' at second base, his Gold Glove position. And Boone also sees LeMahieu getting a day or two a week at first base or third base.
"Against a lefty, maybe Miggy (Miguel Andujar) gets a DH day,'' said Boone. So, "I honestly don't think it will be that difficult to keep him playing as one of the regulars.''
LeMahieu signed a two-year, $24 million free agent contract last month.
With his defensive ability at second base and reputation as a contact hitter, "he's a really good player - I think there is real value in having the ability to put the ball in play,'' Boone said.
"Especially nowadays, with the matchups and pitchers we run out there designed to miss your bat,'' Boone said that LeMahieu "gives us a little bit of a different, unique look.
"There's value in that...because he's a really good player and a really good hitter.''

Have you ever thought about having a secret piercing? The most invisible oral piercing, which you can occasionally show to your friends or relatives is called frowny piercing.
What Is It
Frowny or anti smiley piercing is a perforation of the frenulum, the thin tissue connecting the lower gum and lip. Frowny piercing is located inside of the mouth, the opposite of smiley. It can be seen only if the lower lip is pulled down.
Should You Go for It
Frowny or anti-smiley piercing has its own peculiarities, with its pros and cons.
- The main advantage of frowny piercing is its painless and relatively simple procedure. Frenulum doesn't have a lot of nerve endings, therefore the pain level during the procedure is minimal
- You can always hide your anti-smiley piercing. Just in some special situations, you can show it off to amaze your friends. Quite convenient, isn't it?
- Not everyone can have the frowny pierced. In case your lower frenulum is too thin to hold the jewelry, you would need to go for another tongue piercing option. If you are not sure about that, you can always get advice from a professional piercer
- This piercing can trigger certain risks, and the jewelry rejection is the most likely one. If the wrong jewelry is inserted, the piercing can migrate and be completely rejected. However, any professional piercer will help you to choose an appropriate size and metal to avoid this risk
The frowny piercing should be done only by a professional piercer, as the procedure is quite delicate, even though it seems to be simple in comparison to other tongue piercings. The piercer should sanitize the instruments and the piercing placement first. Then the frenulum behind the lower lip is quickly perforated by a hollow needle, and a small barbell is inserted.
To observe how it is done in reality, watch this video below
How Does It Hurt
3 of 10
The frowny piercing pain level is relatively low – reaching only 3 out of 10 on the pain scale.
However, most likely you will still feel the sharp pain at the moment of perforation. But it will be minimal, as the frenulum tissue is very thin and easy to pierce. So, the pain level is not that high.
Read also about top 10 least painful piercings to get.
Healing and Aftercare
The frowny piercing healing time is approximately 4 – 8 weeks.
However, it can heal faster with proper and timely care. The main aftercare rules include:
- Washing hands every time before touching the piercing
- Maintaining oral hygiene
- Do not remove the jewelry until the piercing is healed
- Following a daily cleaning routine
How to Clean
For frowny piercing cleaning the traditional sea salt soak and antibacterial mouthwash should be used.
More information on the cleaning procedure and solutions can be found in the main article on lip piercings.
Recommended Aftercare Products
Sea salt
Choose for DIY sea salt soaks. The best product to speed up the healing process.
Piercing aftercare spray
Choose if you don't have time to make saline solution every time you need to clean your piercing.Buy Now on Amazon
What to Avoid During the Healing
In order to exclude the risk of infection, you should avoid smoking, kissing, drinking alcohol and coffee, eating spicy foods, playing with the jewelry and touching it with dirty hands.
Any lip piercing can trigger certain risks and side effects.
The jewelry migration and rejection are the most common frowny piercing risks. The body can easily push out the jewelry to the edge of the tissue. Therefore, it is crucial to choose the initial jewelry with a professional piercer.
Tooth erosion. The bottom teeth can be injured by a too large and inappropriate barbell. Be sure to adopt your piercing to your individual characteristics.
Gum recession. The jewelry is located very close to the gum line, which can lead to gum rubbing and scratching, and as a result – to gum recession. To avoid this, it is needed to choose small jewelry, which is compatible with your mouth anatomy.
The big danger of any lip piercing is an infection. You can understand that your piercing is infected, if you experience redness, bleeding, strong pain or yellow discharge. Moreover, if your frenulum is excessively sore and swollen (if you remove it incorrectly), it means that something has gone wrong and it is time to visit your doctor or piercer.
You can read more about this risk in the main article about lip piercings.
Best Jewelry
The most suitable and nicest frowny piercing jewelry is a small CBR, cool ring or tiny barbell.
They look pretty and cute if the size and metal are chosen correctly. Therefore, pick the jewelry not only by its appearance but also take into account its functionality.
How Much Does a Frowny Piercing Cost
- In the US, you can get the frowny piercings for $30 – $70
- In the UK, the price would be £25-£65
- In Europe, you would get the bottom frenulum pierced for €15 to €50

New Subscription-Based Service Offers Food Delivery Without Delivery Fees.Posted Nov 20, 2017
Contact: Liz Sniegocki
New Subscription-Based Service Offers Food Delivery Without Delivery Fees.
Bite Squad Unlimited offers customers unlimited deliveries for one monthly payment.
MINNEAPOLIS (November 20, 2017) - Bite Squad today announced the launch of a new subscription-based service that gives customers free delivery, no matter how many times they order, for one monthly payment. The service, called Unlimited, is invite-only for the time being, and provides members with as many delivery orders as they like - all day, every day - with no individual delivery fees. The monthly payment varies by market (up to $9.99). Customers can order unlimited deliveries from any of the partner restaurants on the Bite Squad platform within a four mile radius of their delivery location.
"Busy consumers are increasingly turning to the convenience of food delivery as a regular part of their daily lives," said Bite Squad co-founder and CEO Kian Salehi. "Our Unlimited service removes any worry over delivery fees and allows customers to easily order delivery as often as they want."
Bite Squad Unlimited is designed to provide increased value to customers who order delivery more than twice per month. It also offers consumers who would like to use the service more regularly an affordable way to do so.
"We will continue to add value to the Unlimited service with more member perks, in addition to free delivery," said Salehi. "Our goal is to make people's days by delivering what they want, where they want, and now as often as they want too."
The subscription service is not yet public. Bite Squad Unlimited began with an email invite-only beta test this fall, and in the next few weeks it will be offered to select customers during the checkout process, on the Bite Squad site. The company plans to roll-out broader availability in 2018.
About Bite Squad Bite Squad is a leading independent provider of online and mobile food ordering and delivery services in the United States. Founded in the summer of 2012 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Bite Squad has partnered with local restaurants across more than 30 metropolitan areas, hand-picked a best-in-class customer support squad, and assembled a fleet of environmentally friendly vehicles to deliver fresh food from the restaurant straight to your door, quickly and hassle-free.

Okay, I agree the title might sound a little exaggerated but trust me its not, once you understand, what it is all about. The many problems people have to face because of the proliferating corporate lifestyle today, is dealt with the snap of fingers by natural hydrosols.
The subtle complement to essential oils steam distillation of aromatic plants results in two complementary products: the essential oil and the hydrosol (or hydrolate). During the distillation process the ascending steam dissolves the essential oil contained in the plant, temporarily associating with it in a highly aromatic ethereal oneness of opposite values: water and oil, which normally do not associate. During the following cooling process of this aromatic gas, the oil soluble components separate out from the water. However, the aromatic molecules pass on a part of their qualities to the water, now called the hydrosol.
These hydrosols for a long time were considered as waste products of the process of distilling essential oils (except for a few exceptions like rose water). Only in recent times has it become more and more evident that the hydrosols are also exceptional carriers of the intelligent vibrational impulses of plant life. They represent a more subtle almost homeopathic-like potented ethereal form of the aromatic substances. In addition they contain the water-soluble component of plant life.
This is the most aromatically powerful hydrosol I have ever encountered. (One of my staff commented that she has seen samples of essential oil come through here that were less intense, aromatically.) This is the white sage that has been used for millennium by Native Americans for ritual, smudging and healing. Those sensitive to the energetics of the oils and hydrosols will be amazed by this White Sage water…and find a hundred uses for it.
This powerful hydrosol is distilled from a sacred healing herb, used in Ayurveda medicine to purify the body, mind and spirit. As a room spray it is a wonderful way to clear the air energetically and aromatically.
Tulsi tea has long been believed to be powerfully anti-viral, antibacterial, used to treat bronchitis, fevers, coughs and other physical ailments, as well as being used emotionally to treat -
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Stress
- Insomnia
Used as a tincture or tea Holy Basil is said to protect against environmental toxins, and aid in circulation and metabolism. My herbalist friends swear by Holy Basil tincture to maintain wellness and fight of germs and viruses.

As part of visual merchandising holograms are becoming extremely popular in India. FBC talks to Indian Roar's Akshay Patwardhan, a company that's into cutting-edge holographic displays
Q. Tell us about holographic displays and their innovative use in fashion retail.
Think about the famous Princess Leia projection in Star Wars? Now think about your favourite superstar appearing before your eyes, dressed in the same outfit, or helping you choose the right outfit with the help of artificial intelligence.
It's possible, with the use of holograms.
Q. What's the difference in the holographic technology used in India and what brands use abroad?
There is no difference in technology, whether in India or abroad. The only difference is that the Indian brands try to emulate the West, whereas in the West, brands like to explore and push the boundaries of creativity.
Q. What are the future possibilities for holograms in the apparel industry?
We have already seen virtual holographic mannequins or virtual closets. The way technology is going, it's only a matter of time, when we will be able to touch and feel the texture of the holograms.
Q. What's the demand for holograms in India and what is Indian Roar's production capacity?
Looking at the current market situation, our 3D holographic display fans and 3D holographic transparent displays are in great demand as they are very attractive and fascinating. Their mid-air illusion creates a magic-like feel of the product on display. We get orders of approximately 500 units per month. Considering these huge volumes, we will soon be launching our very own production facility, wherein we will be able to manufacture 5000 unites on a monthly basis.
Q. Tell us a bit about your company, who established it, when and how did you start growing?
It is a funny story, actually. This company was started as a desperate attempt to repay the loan that I had taken to pursue my commercial pilot training from California. The job scenario back then for a commercial pilot was meek, due to recession, wherein giants like Kingfisher, Deccan Airways and Air India had taken major hits. I was issued an ultimatum, either do something with your life or get kicked out.
As getting kicked out of the house was no option, 3 Cube was born.
Four friends, Ankit Tiwari, Tanzeel Khan and Rahul Dhole and I started 3 Cube in 2011. As time passed on, inspired by Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' campaign, we changed the brand name to Indian Roar LLP. Today, we are 150-strong and have an office in Bandra, next to CII Mumbai.
Q. Give us a brief backgrounder on all four founder-members.
I've always been fascinated by technology, experimenting and creating new hardware, always trying to make machine and human interaction as flawless as possible. Ankit is strong on the support and management side. His energy and enthusiasm kept us going, and primarily it was his idea to start this company. Tanzeel Khan is a great coder and programmer. He is the brain behind our software which gives life to our hardware. Rahul has always been good with technical support and accounts. He is a people's person which makes it really easy for him to manage the employees.
Q. Globally, where does India stand in the use of this technology?
Honestly, India has grown a lot over the past few years. Earlier people were very sceptical about it but now everyone is just waiting for something new to come up. We have been working round the clock, every day to provide services to our clients.
Q. Who is our main competition in this space?
To be honest, there is no competition, but there certainly are challenges that we face on a day-to-day basis. Our main challenge is the Indian fascination for anything Western. However today, even Indian companies are willing to pay big bucks for the same technology and creativity that their Western counterparts are using, even if it's coming from an Indian solution provider.

Substantial changes in Stamp Duty payable by house buyers in Wales have been announced.
Although the changes will, according to the Welsh Government, mean that nine out of ten buyers will pay the same or less than they do at the moment, there will be big winners and losers.
In Wales, Land Transaction Tax will replace Stamp Duty Land Tax from April 1. It is the first Welsh-only tax in almost 800 years.
Mark Hayward, chief executive of NAEA Propertymark, said: "This is a welcome move for the Welsh housing market and we're pleased the Welsh Government has listened to our proposals to raise the band for this lower rate. The rate up to which buyers won't have to pay any Stamp Duty will be £150,000 from 2017 – the same value as the average house price in Wales.
"This means a huge number of house buyers will no longer have to pay any Stamp Duty at all. However, the move creates further bands for properties in excess of £250,000, and those properties will now attract a higher rate of Stamp Duty Land Tax than they would have previously."

Subject: Probowo Does Not Feel Any Guilt or Remorse says Brother
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 1998 18:37:20 +0100 (BST)
From: TAPOL
Note from Joyo list subscriber: "Why aren't there any investigative reports about how Prabowo's brother Hashim bankrolled his criminal activities? Several of Hashim's business associates have said in private that they know as a fact Hashim secretly gave large amounts of money over the years to generals and other Prabowo operatives in Aceh and E.Timor (Black Ninja death squads etc) who were committing atrocities at Prabowo's behest. These informants say Hashim confided in them that he routinely provided funds for special counter- insurgency operations, but they are afraid to come forward. Hashim is complicit in Prabowo's crimes -- and this should be exposed!
Discharged Indonesian general does not feel guilty, says brother
Fri 28 Aug 98 - 08:25 GMT
JAKARTA, Aug 28 (AFP) - A son-in-law of ex-president Suharto who was discharged from the armed forces this week for his role in kidnapping and torturing actvists, feels he has done no wrong, his younger brother said Friday.
"He is feeling very calm and he has strong faith in God... he feels that he is not guilty (of any wrong doing)," businessman Hasyim Joyohadikusumo told reporters of his brother, former special forces commander lieutenant general Prabowo Subianto.
Armed Forces Chief General Wiranto (Eds: one name) on Monday announced that Prabowo, who was once seen as a potential successor to Suharto, was honorably discharged from the armed forces amid allegations of abduction and torture of activists earlier this year.
The decision, based on the findings of a high-level military officers' probe, also saw two other senior officers of the Kopassus elite force stripped of all posts though they were allowed to stay in the army.
Wiranto said the three could still be brought before a military tribunal should there be enough evidence from the court martials of seven Kopassus non- commissioned officers and three soldiers implicated in the same case.
"He is not talking because he is still bound by military discipline. He is still waiting for his retirement document," Hasyim said of his brother after attending a meeting of businessmen at the National Development Planning Board office.
The military inquiry team has said Prabowo had admitted during the 15-day long inquiry earlier this month to misinterpreting orders from a superior.
But the military council has not shed light on what the order was or who had issued it.
At least 24 activists had been missing since early this year and the nine who have resurfaced have told stories of forced abduction and torture as well as solitary detention. One was found dead.
Wiranto's move had a lukewarm reception among activists, who said the decision was too lenient and would do little to improve the military's image.
Hasyim said he was still "very proud" of his elder brother.

Every church comms person hears feedback. Whether it's from our coworkers or other leaders at church, from volunteers, or from people in the congregation, we hear feedback on our work: "our new website looks terrific." "I love the graphic for our new children's event!" Or even, "our new logo is amazing."
It's the reason we spend so much time on announcements, email newsletters, and designing that oh-so-perfect visual for our long-running women/men/young adults/etc. connection ministry. We're all seeking that positive feedback, and – whether we admit it to ourselves or not – it drives a lot of our decision-making.
But there's another kind of feedback that's a little harder to hear; probably because it's external. We tune in to this loop when we're doing things like planning an ad campaign, working on the SEO of our website, or writing a press release. Our goals and attention are entirely focused on the person who isn't already part of our church. We gather data, analyze it, and get brutally honest with ourselves when we answer hard questions about how well we are (or aren't) reaching people.
This external feedback loop is quieter, and harder to hear. I've never been in a staff meeting and heard, "nice job with optimizing the SEO on our blog," or "way to target the right audience with our latest AdWords campaign!" That just doesn't happen (though I sure wish it did).
Yet these things – how many people find your website, connect with you on social media, and see your ads – are key drivers of church growth. No matter how sticky you are, if you aren't bringing visitors into your church, you aren't growing.
I have a weekly dashboard that tracks all kinds of stats: new visitors to our campus web pages, Facebook reach, campus visitors, in-person attendance… this is my primary feedback loop.
Data doesn't tell me how much it likes my work – at least not in the same way that a welcome team volunteer tells me they like our new info packet. Analytics are a subtler, softer voice. They're a thousand nods of the head, clicks to learn more, and conversations in the parking lot.
Their voice might not be so loud, but they're still telling the same stories of lives being changed.

Sean O'Casey's 1926 play "The Plough and the Stars," at the Irish Repertory Theater, starts off in such a jolly manner that you may think you're in for a comedy about colorful working-class folks in a Dublin tenement. Most of the people we meet display a riotous gift of gab that indicates, if the accents hadn't already given it away, that we are in Eire.
There's Fluther Good (Michael Mellamphy), a jovial carpenter who uses the word "derogatory" for anything that's not good ("every derogatory thought went out o' me mind"). And the socialist sympathizer Young Covey (James Russell), who loves needling the elderly nationalist Peter Flynn (Robert Langdon Lloyd).
Slowly, though, dark undercurrents become obvious. A neighbor loyal to the British, Bessie (Maryann Plunkett), angrily berates anyone within earshot. Jack Clitheroe (Adam Petherbridge) discovers that because his wife, Nora (Clare O'Malley), doesn't want him involved, she hid the letter announcing his promotion in the Irish Citizen Army.
We are still a few months off from the Easter Rising of April 1916, when the local Republicans rebelled against British rule, but the atmosphere is charged.
As the play moves forward in time, a pub's regulars listen to the escalating rhetoric on the street outside. "Bloodshed is a cleansing and sanctifying thing, and the nation that regards it as the final horror has lost its manhood," says a warmonger (voiced by Ciaran O'Reilly, one of the founders of the Irish Rep). From amicably jostling, friends and neighbors are now at each other's throats.
The violence Nora dreaded eventually explodes, and the play's ending has the ring of classic tragedy: deaths onstage and off, madness, the overwhelming feeling that the world has turned to chaos.
Charlotte Moore's naturalistic production makes us care for everybody, no matter how vituperative, pigheaded or cartoonishly comical, and the cast is largely excellent. A mainstay of Richard Nelson's Apple and Gabriel plays, Ms. Plunkett is a standout as an embattled, often hostile woman whose humanity is progressively revealed. Her final scene is a stunner.
Then again, each character is lovingly rendered, honoring the play's complexity — a complexity that, incidentally, did not go over well when the show had its premiere at Dublin's Abbey Theater, provoking the ire of Irish nationalists who might have preferred a less nuanced approach.
"The Plough and the Stars" (the title refers to a flag of the republican movement) holds a special place for Irish Rep: It was the company's first production, back in 1988. Now the show is featured in an O'Casey season as part of the playwright's Dublin Trilogy, which also includes "The Shadow of a Gunman" (1923) and "Juno and the Paycock" (1924). The same actors perform the plays — which stand alone — on alternating days, with a marathon of all three most Saturdays.
You don't go to Irish Rep expecting razzmatazz productions, and sometimes the offerings can be overly conservative from a formal standpoint. It's a fair certainty that the latest "hot" director is not likely to drop by.
But "The Plough and the Stars" illustrates the company's approach at its most successful: It's hard not to be swept away by such a good yarn, and the show has an elemental appeal that testifies to the timeless power of a story well told.

I've always tried to find the most unique, sustainable ways to decorate my home. From thrifted shelving to secondhand throw pillows, there have been so many ways that I've gone eco-friendly in my home. But it was even more important to me to stick to my mindset this holiday season. Warm little touches around the home are what the holidays are made of. There's nothing better than a handmade touch to make the season bright. So I decided to make thrifted sweater stockings for the first holiday in my home. Because that's what the holidays are for me — handmade touches.
It's no secret that I thrift a little too much. Despite a successful stint at a minimalist closet this summer, fall came and I bought one too many sweaters. I decided to make the most of those purchases. Instead of reselling or donating the items, I made thrifted sweater stockings instead. They were pretty easy to make, were a great way to upcycle, and add a personal touch to my home. It's a win-win-win.
If you can cut and sew a straight line, you can make these thrifted sweater stockings.
All I used to make these were two thrifted sweaters, scissors, a sewing machine, and a half a yard of cotton for the lining. I decided that I wanted some lining in them, so that the sweater didn't stretch too much when I placed items inside. Because these thrifted sweater stockings aren't just for show. We will be using them this season, too.
I actually had this idea last year, but never got around to making them. Life works in mysterious ways, and I think the universe wanted me to save this craft project for my new home.
All in all, the thrifted sweater stockings are 100% cotton — lining and sweater. That part was really important to me. I've become way more aware of the fabrics that I am wearing this year. It was just as important to me that the materials that I am creating with are just as good for the planet.
1. I made a pattern for the stocking using a large ream of sketch paper that I had on hand, but you could easily just trace another stocking of the size that you like.
2. After that I pinned and cut two sides of the sweater. I pinned and cut both of them at the same time to save me some time. But you could easily do two different cuts, if you're feeling a bit nervous.
3. Next step was to cut the cotton lining and sew them to the inside of the sweater stocking.
4. I then sewed the two pieces of lined stocking together. I made sure to leave one side open, so that I could sew on the top cuff.
Pro tip: if you're not confident with sewing on a different piece for the cuff, just make the tops of the stocking extra large and fold them down. You won't get two different textures, but it will give the same effect!
5. The last step is to sew the cuff on and attach a little tab by hand.
After that you're all done and ready to hang your thrifted sweater stockings. I decided to hang mine on some cute little hangers that looked sort of like deer antlers. We didn't go all out with out Christmas decorations this year. Instead, we decided to stock with classic, all-white decor.
For our first holiday season, it made more sense for us to incorporate some holiday touches, instead of just going all out red and green. We are still figuring out our style and the way we want our home.
I am a bit biased, but I think they turned out really nice! This is the perfect craft to do with the family. Everyone can pick their favorite sweater and cut them out together. Heck, you could even make souvenirs out of your ugly Christmas sweaters every year.
Not to mention that you're saving an item from the landfill at the same time.
Around the same time that I was DIYing these, Emily Faith made some of her own as well. If you're looking for a full tutorial, make sure to head to her YouTube page. Hers are a little different than mine, but I think you will really enjoy looking at her page.
What do you guys think of my stockings? I really want to start showing off more of my thrifted decor. I'm also making it a mission next year to create more — in every sense of the word. I feel like these thrifted sweater stockings were the perfect way to kick off the new season a little early. I'm a firm believer in starting New Year's resolutions early, too. Nothing feels better than going into the new year already in the swing of things!

The motion of Lord Islington that the government produce the papers concerning the Palestine budget and the recent elections there was carried in the House of Lords, following a spirited controversy in which Lords Grey, Islington and Sydenham attacked and the Duke of Devonshire, Colonial Secretary, defended, the British policy in Palestine.
Lord Grey, supporting Islington's motion, declared the honor of Britain demanded the publications of the papers in order to make the situation clear to the world. Grey said that while he was not antipathetic to Zionism, he deemed it necessary for England to steer clear of all commitments in the East, including Palestine, where, he said, it was necessary to use force in order to maintain the British rule.
In view of the "complete boycott" of the elections by the Arabs, Lord Islington, a well-known anti-Zionist, asked whether the Government was failing to consider the modification of the constitution in order to bring it in accord with the sentiments of the majority of the inhabitants.
The Duke of Devonshire declared that the publication of the papers at the present time would be inopportune and could not be done without the consent of King Hussein of the Hedjaz. The Government, the Duke said, would not allow the matter to drift. The Duke said he could not subscribe to Islington's statement that the whole Arab electorate had refrained from voting. The Duke asked that the Lords refrain from the use of bitter Language which would only result, he said, in complicating the situation and in rendering more difficult the position of Sir Herbert Samuel, the High Commissioner. The present constitution, the Duke said, gives all of the Palestinian elements a real share in the administration of the country.
Extensive comment on the debate in the House of Lords appeals in the press today. The London Daily Express, which is violently anti-Zionistic, declares the fight in the House of Lords imperils the cause of Zionism. It charges that a number of British troops recently sent to Bagdad died on the journey owing to the long marches and bad roads. Much space is also given in the EXPRESS to the survey of Palestine issued by United States Department of Commerce, prepared by Consul Southard. Charging that the views expressed by Southard are too optimistic, it states that even this report expresses doubt as to the country's agricultural and industrial resources. The WESTMINISTER GAZETTE also devotes much space to the debate, featuring the attack by Lord Grey. The DAILY MAIL reports the debate under the heading "The Palestine Danger".

- Office of Attorney General Maura Healey
Media Contact for AG Healey Leads Brief Demanding Immediate Relief for Children Held in Inhumane Detention Centers by Trump Administration
Meggie Quackenbush
Boston — Attorney General Maura Healey today co-led a coalition of 20 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief to defend the rights of immigrant children detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and demanding immediate relief for children held in inhumane conditions at the border.
In the brief, filed with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, the attorneys general voiced support of an application by the plaintiffs in Flores v. Barr for a temporary restraining order to prevent further harm to children held by CBP. The plaintiffs have asked to compel the federal government to comply with its legal obligations to hold children in safe and sanitary conditions, promptly release them from custody or transfer them to licensed facilities, and to refrain from separating them from their loved ones.
"The illegal and cruel treatment of immigrant children, who are kept in confinement and away from their parents, should horrify all Americans," said AG Healey. "We are filing this brief to bring an end to this abuse."
In their brief, the attorneys general argue that the Trump Administration has violated a settlement agreement in the Flores case by holding children for weeks in inhumane conditions, without access to basic necessities like soap, clean water, food, toothbrushes, showers, or a place to sleep. According to the brief, children held at CBP facilities are denied access to safe and sanitary conditions, medication, and proper supervision, with young children being irresponsibly and dangerously tasked with the care of toddlers and infants.
The brief further argues that the federal government's blatant disregard of its obligations under Flores also violates the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. By compromising the health and well-being of children in custody and separating children from their parents and relative caretakers, the Trump Administration's actions violate fundamental constitutional principles, the brief argues.
AG Healey has taken a number of actions against Trump Administration's illegal and unconstitutional immigration policies.
In February 2019, AG Healey joined 19 attorneys general in filing a brief challenging the Trump Administration's "turnback policy," which effectively halted the asylum process at the southern border for thousands of people waiting to present their claims. In June 2018, AG Healey co-led a coalition of 18 states in suing the Trump Administration over its illegal policy of forcibly separating families at the southern border. AG Healey has also joined amicus briefs in opposition to Administration policies that required asylum-seekers to present their claims at a port of entry and blocked asylum claims based on gang and domestic violence.
AG Healey co-led today's filing with the California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, and was joined by attorneys general from Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia.

The Great Good Thing; A Secular Jew comes to Faith in Christ, a review
I had not read any of Andrew Klavan's well known crime or mystery novels but I can tell you this, he writes one beautiful memoir. Sometimes a memoir or autobiography can be choppy but this one is so easy to read that it is a delight.
The Great Good Thing is about the author's coming to Christ in middle age. It is not your typical "come to Jesus" book nor is it one that contains a lot of evangelical wording. Instead it is a fascinating story of one man, who was born to nonreligious Jews, and through the wooing of the Hound of Heaven... came to believe that Jesus was who He claimed to be 2,000 years ago.
This is the kind of gift I'd give to philosophical non-Christian friends as a foot in the door, an opening up a discussion kind of story. Some may find it deficient in detail about doctrine and followup but I don't believe that is the purpose of the memoir. It is not a book about theology but a story of a very long and well thought out conversion. Sometimes that is what it takes. Very good!
The Great Good Thing was provided for the sake of review by the publisher but the opinions are my own.
Further information can be found... here.*

I love, love, love Andrew Klavan's writing! He can grab you from the get-go and keep you hanging on until the back cover. He gives the thriller genre a good name. I would love to read this memoir. I had no idea he had such an interesting testimony!
- Vee said...
Oh this does sound good. I noticed the differences in terminology between "completed Jew" and "Christian" and I wondered if he made this distinction. I do enjoy a good conversation.

This book sounds wonderful, I will keep it in mind. And he writes crime novels too for me to also look for.

No place for violence in democracy: Sibal
New Delhi, March 6 : Criticising clashes between AAP and BJP workers at the latter's office here Wednesday, Congress leader and Law Minister Kapil Sibal has said there is no place for violence in democracy.
Aam Aadmi Party members held a demonstration Wednesday outside the Bharatiya Janata Party's headquarters here after police briefly detained AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal in Gujarat Wednesday. The protest turned ugly and members of the two parties clashed outside the BJP office.
Speaking on the incident Thursday, Sibal, however, did not name either of the two parties as responsible.
"It doesn't matter whether BJP was responsible or AAP was responsible... the fact is that there is no place for violence in politics," Sibal said.
"How can anyone who aspires to be a member of parliament be booked under rioting act," he told TV channel Times Now.
"Surely the elector does not want those people to go to parliament who are known for hooliganism. There should be decency in contenders, those who debate issues, not throw stones. Rioters should not contest for parliament," he added.
Sibal said Kejriwal's detention in Gujarat was also unfair.(IANS)
