Since WAD 2018 a group of patients concerned about the issues that were raised by World Aspergillosis Day 2018 and from their own experiences when getting a diagnosis and treatment, formed the Aspergillosis Trust in May 2018.
The Aspergillosis Trust is intended to be an awareness and advocacy group that supports the Fungal Infection Trust by fundraising for research into new diagnostics and treatment specifically for people with aspergillosis.
In a very short time the Aspergillosis Trust (AT) has
- built a website
- formed an active group on Facebook that everyone is more than welcome to join to help with their work.
- a series of events in the month leading up to World Aspergillosis Day.
- Designed and commissioned a range of awareness – promoting goods
As a result AT has already raised thousands of pounds for the Fungal Infection Trust (FIT). All funds raised go directly to the FIT, no money is retained by AT as all individuals donate their precious time and energy at no cost.

Here Is What You Should Note About HTS Code Classifications
HTS codes are a tool used globally. The code is supported by the World custom organization (WCO) There are many countries that make use of the HTS. The HTS has 8 or 10 figures. The HTS system first six numbers are an identification of the items found in the international business, and they are identical in all the nations. The last digits are used by individual countries.
If you are doing the importing then you should understand you are the one who is responsible for the ideal HTS classifications. When you used the system, then you should understand that this is something to be used in the ISF security filling or the crucial entries. The data you give to the CBP needs to be one that is accurate. You ought to make sure that you do not do any mistake when you are filling the HTS clarification form. Accurate information will come in handy as it will assist the custom with the classification of the goods.
The HTS code is what will determine the much you need to pay. That means if you get the code wrong then it could mean that you might end up overpaying. It is not late for you to try and get the right code. In case you notice that you have been using the wrong code then you need to file a Post entry Amendment PEA. When you do this, some of the things to note are you might be required to pay additional charges or that you request a refund. At times you might make this discover after 315 days, and if this is the case then you should apply for administrative protects form within 180 days after the liquidation.

At the same time, countries are working together to come up with new revenue sources as a way of balancing the trade with other nations. When you create code you should note that it has an expiration date so that you can be able to put any updates. With this in mind, you should strive to make use of valid systems. You should research on the code you are using and ensure there is nothing wrong with it. The one thing you should understand is that the ideal classification of goods is a process that is ongoing. Thus, this is the reason that you should consider the codes as often as possible at the very least each year.

For about six months, I was using the Wordpress plugin Twitter Tools to autopost a digest of the previous week's tweets on my Dreamhosted blog.
All was well until a mid-2011 update to Wordpress, after which Twitter Tools' digests stopped appearing. This has happened to other people who used the service. A few weeks ago, one of them suggested that the culprit seems to be a server whose clock has drifted off the right time.
I used the "date" command in PuTTY to check the time on my server, which seemed to agree with my laptop, which is synched with time.windows.com. Are there any other date/time settings I should be checking?

Inflatable Gym Air Track
- $512 Piece
|Side Color
|Mint green
When you received the inflatable gymnastic mat, you found that the surface of the inflatable gymnastic mat was creased. What should you do?
One of my client John, after receiving the mat unfolded the surface of the mat and found that the surface of the inflatable gymnastic mat was creased. John was very angry and called me and said, "You gave me a defective product." After calming down the guests' mood, I slowly explained to John: "In order to reduce transportation costs, we will try to reduce the package size so that it will be tighter when folded. After a long period of transportation, the inflatable gymnastics mat will have two Creases, please don't worry, after placing the inflated inflatable gymnastics mat for 24 hours, the cushion crease will automatically disappear." John accepted my suggestion but was still unhappy. On the second day I received a call from John again. He said, "Thank you very much for my help. He only kept inflated for 4 hours. The inflatable gymnastics mat is totally invisible. It was creased, smooth as new, and sorry for the impoliteness of yesterday."
Don't panic when you see creases in the inflatable cushion. You only need to keep it for 6-12 hours after you complete the inflation. The crease will automatically disappear and will not affect the use.

From the credit card hacks of recent years, to the Sony hack that revealed gigabytes of data, it's clear the country needs to get more serious about online security. To wit, the White House is requesting billions in funding for an updated Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative.
The new CNCI is a 12-point plan that maps out how the administration would like the public and private sectors to combat cyber threats together. Some of the main points touch on securing federal government systems through a new standardized technology, implementing threat detection and prevention infrastructure, and the development of a standardized cyber counter-intelligence plan.
The initiative hopes to achieve these aims by expanding cybersecurity research and development, making sure different intelligence centers can work together, expanding education to get more experts into the field, and clearly defining the role of the federal government in cybersecurity, among other measures.
To further the aims of this initiative, and to protect national cybersecurity, President Obama has requested $14 billion from Congress. The budget request also contained plans for a "Civilian Cyber Campus," to facilitate cooperation between the government and businesses.
According to a summary from the White House:
Cyber threats targeting the private sector, critical infrastructure and the federal government demonstrate that no sector, network or system is immune to infiltration by those seeking to steal commercial or government secrets and property or perpetrate malicious and disruptive activity.
All of this investment does seem very necessary to protect private and public enterprise on the internet. Pew Research data indicates that more than 60 percent of experts believe a massive cyberattack could cripple the nation's security.
The attack on Sony has also shown that the private sector is particularly vulnerable. Additionally, we've seen long running hacks, that have exposed the data of millions of public users because of poor infrastructure. It appears that the funding requests have been well received by congress, so we may see some long overdue robust action on this issue.

ADV: Selling state land a sensible idea to raise cash (Calvin Say vs OHA)
House Bill 2737 Proposing to sell state lands, especially such hallowed places as Mauna Kea, is sure to meet with loud opposition. Even though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that the state may sell ceded lands, a sale of the magnitude proposed by Say will be seen as cashing out Native Hawaiian interests.
But shouting down this idea will only make it easier for legislative leaders to say essentially, "Hey, we looked at gambling and selling state lands and nobody wanted to go there, so now the only thing left to do is raise taxes."
The state shouldn't put any piece of Mauna Kea on the market.
But it's worth making an inventory of the hundreds of real estate odds and ends that could be sold with no harm to the public interest.
And the state absolutely should get out of the commercial real estate business, allowing private businesses to buy in, make improvements and contribute to the tax base.

State to delay paying for health coverage (Socialist health care imploding)
State payments totaling about $90 million a month to five insurance plans providing health coverage for low-income residents will be delayed in May and June, and possibly April, says state Human Services Director Lillian Koller.
Delayed payments over several months could force suspension of services or even closure of some health centers, which serve a disproportionate share of Medicaid beneficiaries, said Beth Giesting, executive director of the Hawaii Primary Care Association, which represents community health centers.
The proposed payment delays result from "just not having enough money appropriated to us to make full payment, primarily because of increased enrollment (in the plans)," Koller said last week….
"HMSA's balance sheet is simply not as liquid as supposed," Van Ribbink said. "If we don't get paid until September, we can't afford that and would need to delay payments to providers."

Maui races for council seats are heating up early
Former West Maui residency seat candidate Alan Fukuyama filed his nomination papers…. The West Maui race has drawn four other candidates to check out nomination papers. Those are: Eve Clute of Lahaina, who ran unsuccessfully for the West Maui residency seat in 2004; community and environmental activist Elle Cochran of Lahaina; Jonah Kapu of Lahaina; and small-business owner and community and veterans advocate Paul Laub of Lahaina.
And, aside from Mary Cochran, the Makawao-Haiku-Paia council race has two other potential candidates who have taken out papers: Kai Nishiki of Haiku, daughter of South Maui Council Member Wayne Nishiki, who ran unsuccessfully against Molina in 2008, winning 33 percent of the vote; and Leona Nomura of Haiku, who operates the Kuau Mart.
Former Council Member Bob Carroll, who retired several years ago, has checked out nomination papers to challenge incumbent Bill Medeiros for the council's East Maui residency seat. Medeiros had not pulled nomination papers as of Tuesday, but he has said he is seeking re-election.
Don Couch, who came up short in 2008 against South Maui Council Member Wayne Nishiki, has taken out papers for another shot at the South Maui residency seat. (Nishiki is among several council incumbents to not yet check out nomination papers.)

Hawaii troops risk lives as U.S. makes progress (SB blames Bush)
Unduly distracted by the war in Iraq, the Bush administration chose a rallying cry of "clear, build and hold" among undermanned troops in Afghanistan. Following a growth of troop strength, the Obama administration has added the fourth element of "transfer," assigning authority to the Afghans as soon as the Taliban has fled or been defeated, and NATO has signed on to the strategy.
(No. Over Obama and Biden's heated objections, Bush pushed the "surge thru Congress and won in Iraq. The Bush strategy is being implemented now in Afghanistan by the Bush team which Obama wisely held over because in the entire nation there are no Obamabots competent to lead the national defense. The best they can hope for is Democrat editorialists to write up a false version of reality.)

2009 winter challenge: no more UGGS
The middle of first semester brings cold weather. Leaves fall, temperatures plummet and sundresses and sandals become jeans and cashmere sweaters. But the most challenging item of all to master in cold weather is shoes. Every winter girls trade their cutest footwear for Uggs or sneakers.
This year I've challenged myself to remain stylish even when it isn't easiest to do so. Just because the seasons change doesn't mean we have to sacrifice style for practicality. That is why I have already begun my search for winter boots, flats to pair with tights, and even a tough dependable pair of shoes for serious days.
When winter comes and the walk from the dorm to class seems twice as long, I'll just take a peek down at my gorgeous footwear and feel a tinge of warmth.

|JUST ASK: 'Should I buy SAF term insurance for my wife and I?'
|In this occasional series titled JUST ASK, we invite readers to send in questions on stock investing, and personal finance. We will ask an expert (or experts) to provide answers. Below is a series of questions on insurance coverage, and it is answered by Leong Sze Hian, the President of the Society of Financial Service Professionals.
Reader: Currently I am keen to take up an insurance which is good for my wife (2 months pregnant) and myself. Would you recommend the AVIVA SAF term insurance?
We are keen to be insured for the following quantums and prices:
1) SAF Group Term Life Insurance (till age 70 years max): Coverage of $400,000 each for my spouse and I – or about $90/month for both of us in total.
2) Supplementary major illnesses Insurance (till age 65 years max): Coverage of $300,000 each for my spouse and I – about $60 /month for both of us in total.
3) Group Personal Accident Insurance (till age 65 years max): Coverage of $100,000 each for both my spouse and I – about $10/month for both of us in total.
We are keen to put the rest of our money into shares with a buy-and-hold approach till we retire. Taking that into account, we should have a good sum in shares by the time we retire, a good sum of savings, a fully paid flat and CPF LIFE when we retire.
Do you think the above insurance is adequate for us currently?
We have both also signed up for Income Shield preferred – thus we would only need to pay 10% of our hospitalization fees – we bought a rider too, thus hospitalization is covered.
Given the above information, would you think getting the AVIVA term insurance is the right insurance to get or would there be another alternative you could recommend?
Thanks again for assisting people like us who don't have that good financial literacy. I studied commerce but I am currently doing social assistance as I find it a very meaningful job.
* As the term insurance expires at 65/70 years of age, would there be any other insurance policies which you could recommend for us from then on, based on the current plans available in the market?
Leong Sze Hian, president, Society of Financial Services Professionals
Leong Sze Hian: Dear reader, group term insurance policies are generally good value for money, as their premiums are generally lower than for individual insurance policies. However, do note that historically, various group insurance schemes have changed insurers over the years.
For example, I understand that the SAF group insurance schemes have been managed under different insurers.
I myself was under a military services group insurance scheme which changed insurers quite a few times, and I ended up with a group scheme which charged much higher premiums than another group scheme through the same organisation which had much lower premiums.
In fact, two group insurance schemes ran concurrently, and as the members got older under the older scheme, premiums for older members increased quite a lot, on a relative basis.
From my experience with group insurance schemes, one may like to note several considerations.
Premiums generally increase with age, and may become quite high at older ages.
As the scheme is a contract between the insurer and the organisation, it is subject to termination or changes that are not within the control of the individual insured members.
If for any reason, premiums are not paid, the cover lapses, and reinstatement is subject to evidence of insurability, unlike insurance polices with cash value (could be combination of traditional life insurance/investment-linked insurance with term insurance, critical illness, etc).
For policies with cash values, typically the premium will be advanced as a cash advance with interest to keep the cover in force, when the first premiums are overdue.
When a member leaves the group, cover is typically terminated. When I completed my reservist with one military service group, I was terminated from the group insurance scheme.
The terms and conditions of the group scheme, such as the premiums, age bands, sums insured, are subject to change depending on the claims and demographic experience of the scheme.
There have been schemes in the past that were terminated, or had premiums increased.
An example is that for taxis and taxi drivers that historically have gone through many scheme changes.
One must be aware that a group insurance scheme must be commercially viable. So if claims increase or members in proportion get older, premiums may increase, which may become a vicious cycle as less new members join because they can get cheaper or better cover elsewhere.
In other words, the group insurance market has been and is subject to competitive market forces.
I came across a group home mortgage insurance scheme which was terminated between the insurer and the bank after a few years. When a widow tried to claim, she was told that the policy had lapsed (which was technically correct as the group policy had been discontinued).
It was only after much investigation and the furnishing of documentary proof that the widow claimant was able to establish that the group insurance premium paid by her deceased husband was a single premium that covered the entire tenure of the mortgage.
As there are different types of cover in the market, the terms and conditions of the critical illness and accident cover may also differ. For example, the definitions and scope of cover may vary.
Term insurance expires at a certain age. For example the CPF Dependents' Protection Scheme expires at age 60 and thus, in a way, assumes that one will not need such cover after age 60.
Buy and hold shares till you retire?
For example, in the case of one country, Japan – the stock market is still down by more than 70 per cent after 21 years!
As to a "buy-and-hold shares" approach, only 17 of the largest 100 listed companies in the United States at the beginning of the last century are still in existence today!
As to your question "Dould you think the above insurance is adequate for us currently?", you may like to do a Survivors Financial Needs Analysis to calculate whether your total cover and net worth available for survivors' needs, are adequate to meet your financial goals and concerns.
You may also like to do an analysis of your risk exposure for appropriateness of the type cover, adequacy of the amount, etc.
For example, do you have appropriate and adequate cover for legal liability, accidental medical reimbursement, overseas medical expenses (CPF approved Shield medical plans generally do not cover overseas medical treatment. So, now that one can use Medisave in approved Malaysian hospitals for a start, one should be aware of this exclusion), property, etc?

Journalist Cal Thomas, on standing up to bullies on the playground and in American foreign policy:
". . . Stirred by his adversaries' impotent responses, the bully felt free to slug anyone he fancied. Most kids tried to avoid him, thinking their demonstration of weakness might protect them from being hit. It never did. Having set themselves up as easy targets, the bully went after these kids first. This lesson learned early in life has served me well as a citizen of the United States . . . During the Reagan years, in matters of foreign policy, self-defense was known as 'peace through strength.' And it worked. America's strength and the assurance held by much of the world that we were willing to use our muscle against threats served to deter those who might have wanted a piece of us.'" (Cal Thomas, Spokesman-Review, Sept. 22, 2009)
OK. Cal Thomas is a Christian. He helped form the Moral Majority, he proudly argues the case of the Religious Right, and he is, perhaps, the most prominent Christian newspaper columnist right-wing evangelicals have. His conservative-Christian bona-fides are impeccable and his commitment to Christ rarely, if ever, challenged.
So why applaud a foreign policy, never mind a playground policy, that looks so remarkably unlike Christ's teachings in the Gospels? "Peace through strength" may well keep a nation safe from its enemies. What it doesn't do is keep it safe from the judgment of Jesus Christ.
And shouldn't that be of first concern to those of us who take his name?

Through this book you will meet your guide, visit faeryland, learn about the beings of the faery worlds and develop your own faery craft to work in harmony with the power and cycles of the earth by unlocking the nature of your Fey spirit. Time for you to become the Fey you truly are.
About the Author
Halo has been a practising Faery Witch since she was a child, taught by the fae from birth and trained in human magic since her teens. She is a devotee of the Faery Queen, a storyteller, a philosopher, artist and the Ringleader of The Goblin Circus, where Faery magic manifests in art and wonder-tales.
For too long, Faeries have been the trickster beings in our society when acknowledged at all. They are often blamed for disobedient children in the aspect that the agreeable babe had been switched out for a changeling. Missing car keys to tripping our own feet is often laid at the faeries' door. People are warned not to contact the faeries or bad things will happen to them. With all this fear and misinformation, it's a hardship for anyone who has a fey legacy or even a desire to communicate with the faeries. Even my witch friends warned me to not mess with the faeries.
Moon Books introduces via their Pagan Portals series Your Faery Magic by Halo Quin. This very readable book not only enlightens people about faerie ways, but also about their own fey tendencies. Neither one is to be feared, but treated with reverence and respect.
Halo has a lyrical touch with words that is so fitting for entering the faerie kingdom. She warns at the onset that this is a tome only for those seriously desiring a relationship with the fey as opposed to a light read. Do you feel at home in the woods? Are you an avid gardener? Do you feel a connection to the wildlife and birds? Are you open minded enough to believe that other entities exist on this plane? If so, you may have a touch of the fey.
Halo leads us through the early times to present. She also includes a helpful chapter on inviting faerie spirit guides into our lives. When reviewing books, if I'm impressed with the content I always order a paperback of it. There's one already in my Amazon cart.
Special note: While writing this review, a raven visited, which was a first for me.

name: Christian
surname: Edler
year of birth: 1982
country: Germany
Q1: When did you start making art?
I think the first serious drawings i did at the age of 12. I liked to draw before but more in a playful way. Later i tried selfportraits and first attempts of realistic drawing.
Q2: What does inspire you?
Many things…Sometimes music, paintings from other artists, especially Zdzislaw Beksinski. I adore his work! Sometimes it's just a single word that inspires me to a new painting.
Q3: What are your techniques?
Drawing with mechanical and normal pencils mixed with ink and oil painting with glazing.
Q4: What is the main idea or feeling behind your works?
Mostly feelings i experenced or still experience myself: desperation, anxiety, anger…
Q5: What is the main color of your art and why?
My paintings often contain grey and brown tones. But honestly i don't know why. I dont really choose them on purpose. Also i like to use blue because it's cold and easily depicts loneliness and eeriness.
Q6: What would you improve about your work and why?
I would like to paint more realistic and with a deeper contrast of light and shadow, similar to the style of Caravaggio or de la Tour. I'm slowly trying to learn old masters techniques but i'm sure i will never reach the professional level of these virtuosos.
Q7: Do you have any project for the future?
Sure, MORE paintings! 🙂 And an exhibition, maybe…
Q8: Describe yourself with 3 words capturing the essence of reality-must-die.
I think the three words this nick-name consists of are pretty self-explaining? 😉
Q9: Show us (link) your very first work. Describe it from techniques till feelings.
Hm… i could send you a link to one of my first drawings, not THE first drawing. HERE
I drew this in 1997 with ordinary pencils and i liked castles a lot at the time. I also wanted to catch the mood of a cold spring morning but wasn't quite successful here… 🙂
Q10: What did change from your first work till now?
Nearly everything… The grade of realism, the topics, the technique, the preparations…
Q11: What is art for you? Escaping from reality or the essence of life?
Both, definately! But it's also a wonderful way to tell without speaking. Art is the most beautiful way of communication that humanity could ever have invented.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — ACT SO is an acronym for Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics, and this year 11 students at Millington Central High School have entered films and documentaries in the competition.
"We're always trying to give the kids opportunity to be able to grow and I think by them being in ACT SO it prepares them for the next level."
Students from Memphis area public, private and parochial schools compete in categories of science, humanities, visual arts, performing arts and film making and video.
Ryan Garcia is a junior at Millington Central High and this is his first year in film making.
"Learned about different camera types, different lenses, how to shoot, to interact with people and a whole bunch of other stuff."
He's entering a documentary on himself, sharing personal struggles and triumphs.
"It was very emotional for me to make, very hard for me to make so I don't want it to be like just another film. I want it to mean something to some people," he said.
Freshman Gena Ann Parker made a film about school shootings in our country.
"Not all kids my age think that guns are the reason that school shootings happen."
The students are encouraged to show their creativity in a positive and productive way.
"With us living in that age where kids are doing so much with social media platforms and things of that nature, they're already journalists for the most part. If they have a camera or a cell phone they're able to take pictures and do video."
Judges watch the entries intently and their decisions determine who will move on to the national competition later this year.
Gena Ann says the critiques here only make her better for the future.
"I think it's important because it does open up a lot of opportunities even at this age. And as a freshman in high school, it's a bigger opportunity because I have four more years to compete."
"It gives kids opportunity to see what is out here for them and if we can do that through radio and TV and flim making it just gives them so many opportunities."
Opportunities to see themselves doing the things some only dream are possible.

Edel has officially joined the Ozone Wall of Fame for her outstanding results. Edel is a Group Personal Training client and has shown great dedication and commitment to achieving amazing results
So Edel, what made you decide you wanted/needed to start a program?
I had stopped training because of some ongoing injuries and the weight had piled on and I couldn't fit into any of my jeans and things like that and I was feeling depressed and really wasn't in a good place. So I knew I had to do something and I was a bit apprehensive going back training because of the injuries I had so I thought I needed somewhere that was more one to one supervision.
What results have you achieved since starting your program?
Yeah, well, the last 2 weeks now I was delighted, I lost 6 pounds and an inch off my waist since I came back training after Christmas so I'm very chuffed with that. And it's definitely motivated me now to stick to the plan.
What do you like best about our program/having a trainer?
Great, Love it! it's really good because they encourage you, they push you that little bit further than you would push yourself if you were just down in the gym. It's good that I can talk to them about again, any little injuries I have and they know how to modify exercises for me. So it's really worked out well for me.
What would you say to someone on the fence about joining our program?
I'd say definitely just give it a shot. I always remember Mike asking me, ya know, how motivated I was to actually stick to it or to get on with it. And I thought – ya know what I'm not really that motivated. But from the get go, training with the guys, the endorphins start flowing. You start realising how much you enjoy it. And if you're doing the small group personal training you get to know people, there's a good bit of banter there. Definitely, it's worth giving it a shot. I would encourage anyone to give it a shot.
Well done to Bernie, an inspirational accomplishment after such a short time frame. She has earned her place on the Wall of Fame.

Abby Hall
Abby frowned at Virgil when he said he had planned to put Mike in either the second or third platoon. She understood his reasoning but wasn't happy about it. She didn't want to just come out an say she didn't trust that soldiers would look out for her but that's how she felt. She was only important to them because she could get them access to Matthew's research. Once they had that then she didn't think they'd care much what happened to her. The mission wasn't to make sure Abby lived, it was to make sure the research was brought back to the base. When they had Matthew's research, she'd be an afterthought to them.
I understand.
Abby told Virgil quietly but he would able to tell from her tone of voice she wasn't happy with his decision. When Mike came back and handed her the Beretta and the extra clip, she told him.
She might need it if things went bad even though she never fired a gun before in her life.

Oscar Wilde
Poem by Oscar Wilde
THE western wind is blowing fair
Across the dark Ægean sea,
And at the secret marble stair
My Tyrian galley waits for thee.
Come down! the purple sail is spread,
The watchman sleeps within the town,
O leave thy lily-flowered bed,
O Lady mine come down, come down!
She will not come, I know her well,
Of lover's vows she hath no care,
And little good a man can tell
Of one so cruel and so fair.
True love is but a woman's toy,
They never know the lover's pain,
And I who loved as loves a boy
Must love in vain, must love in vain.
O noble pilot tell me true
Is that the sheen of golden hair?
Or is it but the tangled dew
That binds the passion-flowers there?
Good sailor come and tell me now
Is that my Lady's lily hand?
Or is it but the gleaming prow,
Or is it but the silver sand?
No! no! 'tis not the tangled dew,
'Tis not the silver-fretted sand,
It is my own dear Lady true
With golden hair and lily hand!
O noble pilot steer for Troy,
Good sailor ply the labouring oar,
This is the Queen of life and joy
Whom we must bear from Grecian shore!
The waning sky grows faint and blue,
It wants an hour still of day,
Aboard! aboard! my gallant crew,
O Lady mine away! away!
O noble pilot steer for Troy,
Good sailor ply the labouring oar,
O loved as only loves a boy!
O loved for ever evermore!
Comments about Serenade by Oscar Wilde
Subhas Chandra Chakra (9/1/2016 11:56:00 PM)
The waning sky grows faint and blue,

I really liked the 8-square slippers. There are apparently several variants of these. Here are a few direct pattern links:
first one I found: http://www.kaspaikka.fi/neulonta-A&O/asusteita_vaatteita/sukat-tossut/palatossut.html
Drops, in English: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=109&d_id=57〈=us
felted: http://hurpeknagg.blogspot.com/2008/01/felted-slippers.html
The basic idea I was looking for was something that could be made in all garter stitch, that required very little in terms of shaping, but which would make an actual garment. There are a number of children who go through the library knitting group and never learn to purl, let alone increase and decrease. No one needs 3 mini-size envelope purses, so there was a lack of intermediate project between the itty bitty thing and sending them off to buy their own yarn.
But not everyone who comes to this speaks English. Some of them do not read. It was a puzzle.
I wanted to create something to show how to make the slippers if you did not have a paper pattern or online resources available. This is what I made:
|From origami motley socks
If one sews the white edge seam to the white edge seam, then the red to the red, and so forth, one ends up with the finished slipper.
This was a very interesting exercise, both the finding of a pattern that fit explicit criteria and the creation of a demonstration model that inherently displays the procedure required.

Tiberian Growdome System
loam composts Special growing mediums have been developed for container-grown greenhouse plants, and the more important ones are described in this chapter. For over JO years the John Innes composts have been used by commercial growers and amateur gardeners alike. The name John Innes is taken from the research station where they were formulated after years ot investigative work. The formulations provide horticulturists with various growing mediums to cover every greenhouse activity, from seed sowing through to final potting. All these formulations are based on the use of good loam. They have stood the test of time, and composts made up to the original formulae are available at most horticultural stores and garden centres.
There are, however, many garden
ers who prefer to mix their own composts and the brief description here will provide guidance as to what is entailed. Kettering loam is a medium heavy loam, and while tins is ideal it is not readily available in all parts of the country and a similar loam may have to be used instead. The term 'loam' here means the top 75 to loo mm (3 to 4 in) of a grass field. After cutting, the sods are placed grass downwrards in a rectangular stack about 1.5 m (4$ ft) square. The stack is watered well while it is being built, and a layer of rotted farmyard manure or similar is spread at i 50 mm (6 in) intervals throughout. The stack is finished off at a height of 1 to t .5 m {3 ft to 4 \ ft) and a polythene sheet is placed over the top to keep off excessive rain, After some six months the stack may be used as required by slicing down one face with a spade and putting the loam through a riddle. The result is a fibrous soil which to the experienced gardener looks good, feels good, and even smells good! However, it may unfortunately contain pests and diseases injurious to plants, as well as weed seeds. For these reasons it has to he partially sterilized at a temperature not exceeding K2 C {180 F) with no part of the 'cooking' being below 71 C (163 F). This is best done in a small electric sterilizer which passes steam through the loam, killing all the harmful organisms in about an hour. The 'cooked* loam may be used after two weeks. !t is then mixed with peat, a coarse sand or grit, lime (chalk), and a base fertilizer in the following proportions (by volume): john innes seed COMPOST 2 parts loam 1 part peat t part coarse sand To each bushel (0.04 cu m) of this mixture is added 20 g (j oz) chalk and 40 g (l^ oz) superphosphate.
Above left Three popular potting composts pest-based, peat and sand and loam-based Right The flower grower can have cotour m the greenhouse all the year round
Plant pots end seed containers are made in a variety of materials for different uses john innes potting compost No. I 7 parts loam 3 parts peat 2 parts sand To cach bushel (0.04 cu m) of this mixture is added 20 g oz) ehalk and 115 g (402) of John tnnes Base Fertilizer (a mixture ofhoof-and-horn meal, superphosphate, and potassium sulphate) which is sold ready for use. J.I. Potting Compost No. 2 is the same as No. 1 but with an extra 11 $ g (4 oz) of Base Fertilizer: Potting Compost No. 3 is the same as No. i but with an extra 230 g (8 oz) of Base Fertilizer. Do not mix too large a quantity at any one time: it is best used within six to eight weeks.
All composts need to be kept where they will not be contaminated by weed seeds, soil, already used compost, or unclean pots; harmful bacteria from these sources can quickly infect the sterilized compost. It is highly desirable to establish a clean {sterilized) area in the greenhouse and to make it a rule never to move used pots, seed trays, and so on into the area until they have been thoroughly washed and allowed to drain. Too often, equipment is carefully sterilized - and then left to collect weeds and disease organisms. It is little wonder that gardeners who treat their equipment in this way often complain that expensive composts have failed to produce healthy plants, loamless composts In recent years loamless composts based on mixtures of peat and sand or on peat alone have become increasingly popular. Their attraction stems from the fact that the ideal loam is difficult to obtain, the sterilizing process is laborious and costly, and the weight of readymade J.J. composts leads to high carriage costs. The components of loamless composts are sterile to start with and the composts are considerably lighter in weight. The amateur gardener should buy such composts ready-mixed, for peats and sands vary and not all are suitable for seed and potting mixtures.
Gardeners accustomed to using loam-based composts will initially find peat/sand composts more difficult to manage. They need to he moist to start with, and it they dry out they are difficult to re-wet. Also, because they are light in weight, tall plants can more easily tip or be blown over along with the container m which they are grow ing; this can be overcome by putting .1 little J.I. compost in the bottom of the pot to weigh it down.
Seeds germinate more rapidly in peat and peat/sand mixtures than in loam composts, and the light, open texture of such mixtures seems also to suit many mature plants - most proprietary growing bags are filled with them. Feeding of container-grown plants needs to begin earlier with loam less com posts than with loam composts. On the other hand, there is no need to line the bottom of pots with crocks if peat/sand composts are used, and they are specially suitable if plants are to be watered by capillary action for example, by means of a tray of moistened sand placed under the pots.

Replace text with filler - a manual approach
Here's a manual method of replacing text with filler or anonymous words in Microsoft Word
Use this when you need help with a Word document formatting problem but can't share the troublesome .docx because it contains confidential information.
Our head honcho, Peter Deegan, had this problem himself. A friend asked for help with a Word numbering problem but could not show him the contract document for obvious client confidentiality reasons. Without seeing the document and trying some possible fixes, it's almost impossible to help.
What's needed is a way to replace the words or letters with filler or anonymous text that doesn't give away anything private but retains the original formatting. The best way to do that is to replace each word with another word with the same number of characters.
For example, here's a 'confidential' document with a mysterious list problem in the first section (1.a then 1.h ?).
Before sharing the private Word document, change the words to hide the real content like this:
We wrote a simple VBA macro which replaces each letter with a random letter, but that has some limitations. The main one is that many Word users aren't comfortable with VBA macros.
Manual Replaces
Here's another way to do the same thing, without any VBA. It's a little laborious and time consuming but does the job.
It uses Word's advanced 'wildcards' Replace to find words of a certain length and replace with a fixed filler word. For example, all 4 letter words are replaced with 'four', 'fine', 'chef' or 'beef'.
Word's 'wildcards' Find option is really 'Regular Expressions' or 'Regex' a favorite of digital geeks around the world. It's wonderfully powerful but incredibly precise. One character out of place and the whole 'regex' can fail or do very strange things.
Advanced Replace
For Word nerds, we'll give a quick explanation here. There's a longer Replace with Filler text 'step by step' for those of us who haven't done this kind of thing before.
Here's the full Replace dialog.
Use Wildcards – must be ON. This is vital.
Use this expression exactly:
Secrets and tips for the Windows 10 May 2020 update
A detailed and independent look at Windows 10, especially for Microsoft Office.
Fully up-to-date with coverage of the May 2020 major update of Windows 10.
This 1,000 pages, 40 chapter book shows you important features and details for Windows 10 users.
It's best to copy/paste the whole expression.
Only change the digit in the curly brackets to change the word length. {1} {2} {3} etc.
No spaces before, after or inside the expression.
Again, use this expression exactly with no extra spaces.
Change the word between \1 and \2 for any word of the same length as the digit you've got in the Find expression. 'a' , 'be', 'sea', 'four' etc.
Do that for each word length from 1 to as many as you need.
Randomizing digits is easier, just replace all digits with a single digit like 9 or 0. This will leave all currency signs, thousand separators and decimals in place.
Use Wildcards – must be ON. This is vital.
Use this expression exactly:
No spaces before, after or inside the expression. It's best to copy/paste the whole expression.
Just the digit you want to use as filler, with no extra spaces.

1. What is Theory of Mind?Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to recognize others' perspectives and how this affects their behavior. ToM is essentially 'social understanding' and is a skill that significantly develops between the ages of 3-5.
2. What Really is Popularity?It's pretty universal that everyone wants to be liked and have friends. This is pretty obvious with preschoolers and is why I write so much about helping kiddos improve their play and social skills. In the context of the research I'm using for this post, "popularity" means peer acceptance and like-ability. Remove that idea of popularity as good-looking jocks that mock freshman during gym. Popularity is the normal, nice sophomore that has a group of friends at lunch and that is liked by his peers. Popularity in preschool pretty much means that your child's classmates view your child in a positive light and will interact and play with your child. Phew! So what's the connection between popularity and theory of mind?
According to research, Theory of Mind is a HUGE factor in peer acceptance and popularity. So if you want your child to have a good relationship with their peers, make sure they develop Theory of Mind.
How does Theory of Mind make your child popular?Remember how Theory of Mind is like social mind-reading? This social mind-reading helps your child understand others' thoughts, have better communication skills and be aware and considerate of others' emotions.
Skills from Theory of Mind
- Good Communication
- Interpersonal Sensitivity
- Pro-sociability
Theory of Mind skills are associated with peer acceptance and popularity. #socialskills #pragmatics Click To Tweet
Why is Popularity & Peer Acceptance Important for Your Preschooler?Your child needs to develop Theory of Mind to have foundational social skills like good communication and interpersonal sensitivity. These social skills fundamentals significantly increase your child's odds of popularity and peer acceptance. But why does your child really need acceptance from peers? Peer acceptance is so critical because when your child is acceptance by peers, your child is much more likely to have positive interactions and social experiences. The more positive peer interactions your child has, the more opportunities your child has to develop social skills. Essentially, you need social skills to get your foot in the door to develop better social skills.
Peer Acceptance + Positive Social Interactions = Better Social SkillsHere's the catch-22 that breaks my heart: the children with poor social skills tend to have negative interactions or be rejected by their peers so they have fewer opportunities to develop social skills. You need social skills to have opportunities to develop social skills.
This unfortunate scenario reminds me of so many job advertisements I've seen. You know the ones that say "Must have 5 years experience in ____" but seriously... if everyone has to have 5 years of experience then how does anyone ever initially get the job?! Now that you know why Theory of Mind is so important for your child's social success, let's get into how you can help your child. For activities to develop your child's Theory of Mind, we've got you covered with ideas and strategies in this post.
Thank you so much for reading! Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Dr. Oz -- Cowboy Goes Vegan to Save His Life
Watch the video here
Now, Rocco is similar to so many of my patients whom I see every day. If he can become a vegan, then I'd say just about anyone with the right motivation can make important dietary changes to improve their health.

I saw that episode of The Dr. Oz Show, too! I was so happy to see that the doctor was encouraging vegan choices that day. I wish he would discuss healthy compassionate choices EVERYDAY! I just wanted to say that it made me happy to see your post about the show!
I am also wondering if you know how I can best find a vegan or vegetarian doctor in my area. I live in Utah in the Salt Lake City area and am not sure of the best way to go about finding an MD that will understand me as a vegan. Do you have any suggestions?
Let me know!
It's been great talking to you! (And it's great to know that there are MD's out there that are vegan!)
- VeganHeartDoc said...
Valerie, I'm sorry that I don't know of a vegan physician in your area. I recommend contacting PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) at www.pcrm.org; they may have some suggestions.
- Vegan Valerie said...
Thank you SO much for your help! I will check out PCRM.org for more information. It means a lot to me that you would take the time to write me back. I really, really appreciate it! :)

I have found the last batch of labels hard to peal and not very sticky, I will be checking to see if this is still the case when ordering the next batch, not had this problem in the past and i have ben very happy with the labels
Gary27/11/2012 at 3:45 pm
Paper quality OK does the job but it is thin, label needs to be adjusted by approximately 5mm additional label size at bottom of label to enable usage for EBAY and Amazon. Perfect for Amazon as we no longer need to cut off the bottom of the label to remove order number apart from the occasional short address.
Hi Gary
Thanks for your email, the paper we use is slightly heavier than standard copier laser paper, that is 80gsm we use 90gsm. We can use a heavier weight paper if you prefer this will be a custom making and will increase the price slightly.
We have introduced a new line S13 integrated labels which work for both Amazon & ebay, please contact http://www.cheap-integratedlabels.co.uk/contact.asp and request samples, we can post out for you to test prior to purchasing

The hotel was closed when I got there.
OkayMay 20154.8
Location proximity to Manhattan is great. Staff was helpful and courteous.
This hotel needs updating as it is quite shabby. My room was not very clean. The carpet was worn, stained, old and dirty. Noticed the lamp shade and curtains were torn. Found black mold in the tub / shower area. Breakfast is complimentary though food quality is very poor. The scrambled eggs and milk both tasted like chemicals - must have been made from a powder mix. Awful food and dirty worn out gross rooms. This is NOT a luxury boutique hotel. I would never stay here again.
OkayNov 20145.7
Mostly clean, simple with a good rate.. But NOISY!
Location to my meeting. Price, mostly clean. Reception was friendly, close to LGA.
Did not sleep well, needed ear plugs, traffic noise on the street all night. Maybe that's just NYC but hey. Do some soundproofing. Next time I'm staying at the Country Inn on their highest floor and I'm bringing ear plugs.
GoodNov 20148.0
Appreciated the free breakfast and free water/coffee available at all times next to the lobby. Convenient location (although the proximity to the train means you can hear it - maybe depending on what side of the hotel you get?). Spacious rooms with a living area and bedroom with a door. Nice, helpful staff. Definitely enjoyed my stay!
GoodApr 20128.0
The rooms are big and spacious, tv, fridge included, even coffee maker; the staff is very friendly and helpful; breakfast is really nice, with a lot of options. Location is good, 5mins walk to the nearest metro stations (queens plaza or 39th) or if you are up for a longer walk, just for the fun of it it took us about half an hour over queensboro bridge to get to central park and 5th avenue

The Second Week
Friday, May 15, 2009
After two weeks here at SP, I have lost three pounds. I feel less weighted down than I used to, both emotionally and physically.
This week, I have decided NOT to use the Nutrition and Fitness trackers.
...Because they have awakened my inner anorexic/exercise bulimic. I spent that whole first week obsessing on them. I would wake up in the morning and race to the computer to enter my weight...then my breakfast...then I would just stare at the screen, thinking of new and totally unhealthy ways to decrease my caloric intake while boosting my activity levels.
My days were centered around those stupid trackers. I figured they were becoming a problem when I realized I was hiding my obsession from my husband. If I wasn't doing something "wrong" why would I need to hide it?
SO, this week is about making sensible choices with my food, staying active (but not spending large chunks of my day exercising until I feel like I'm going to pass out...and then lying about how much time I spent exercising on the tracker), and not letting myself get carried away with this whole SP thing!
Wolfie (Wolfy?) Girl...Thanks for the comment! I was going to respond to you...but then, like a COMPLETE dork, I clicked "Delete Comment!"

I think it's really a great idea to put those things aside. I am back to beginning again and using the trackers but do rely too much on them. I can try what you are doing; thx much for the post. You are really doing great with this.

After all, we are not going to spend our entire life to track every food we eat or every fitness minute, stop using the trackers if it becomes an obsession. The point of them is to help not to create any addiction.
Good step to reflect on it, and for doing what it's right for you.
Listen to your body, and you'll be just fine!
Wish you a good and productive week!

Add me to the list who dont follow the fitness and diet trackers. I've been recording what I eat since I was 11, and I weigh myself each morning. I am measuring my biceps to see if my minnie mouse arms are becoming stronger, but that is about it. Like you, the trackers just seemed to trigger me backwards into anorexia again.
Good for you for following your own instincts!

It's funny to me how MANY people under eat...when we're told by everyone that the reason losing weight is difficult is because we OVER eat.
It boggles the mind.
...And I'm glad I'm not the only one who got all caught up in the numbers! SP's pervasive numbers are addictive!

I ran into a similar issue. I almost bought a food scale. It DID serve a very good purpose in the begining for me though. It showed me I underate, which stopped me from losing weight. Once I started eating more, with my exercise, the weight finally started to move. So now I just do it for a week every few months so I can know where I'm at.

Have you already booked your stay in Bora Bora? Are you looking for a photographer who fits your style and needs? Do you hesitate to choose digital or analog photographer in Bora Bora? Do you consider investing more to obtain some unique images thanks to drone photography?
And above all, are you wondering how much a photoshoot will cost in one of the most expensive places in the world? Let us share with you some necessary information about that!
Price for a honeymoon shooting in your hotel in Bora Bora
Honeymooners often wonder where can they get epic photos in Bora Bora. They ask to go out from the resort to reach the best spots. But in reality there is no better "spot" that inside their resort … What does it mean? Bora Bora is a very particular island. The best hotels are not located on the main island, but on smaller patches of land surrounding it, separated by azure blue strips of the ocean: The St. Regis Bora Bora, Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, Intercontinental Talasso and Spa, Conrad Bora Bora Nui, The Pearl Beach Resort…. These hotels obviously offer the best view, a beautiful lagoon, amazing gardens, and the best accomodation (overwater villas/bungalows).
If you decide to do a standard digital photoshoot inside the resort, expect the range price from $700 for one-hour shooting to $1400 for two-hour shooting.
If you are looking for something unique to have exceptional memories (Film photography, styled shoot, Drone photography…), consider spending more than $1500. Information below.
Price for an analog photoshoot inside the resort in Bora Bora
Analog photography was the only photographic type during a hundred of years. However, in French Polynesia it is still quite a "new" kind of photography. This is because it is not easy here to work with film. Analog photographer needs very specific logistics to make it work. Ordering the rolls, keeping them in the fridge (French Polynesia has terrific temperatures!), then once the photoshoot done, sending them by private transporter to the lab in the United States…
But seeing the results you know that the effort is worthwhile. Especially in Bora Bora Analog Photography shows its best side: analog film colors are amazing and it is difficult to find an equivalent in the digital world.
If you are interested in film photography for your shooting in French Polynesia, you can expect that the range price begins at $1500.
Price for a family photoshoot inside the resort in Bora Bora
Family photoshoot could be considered for some photographers as a standard. However, it is important to realize that creating good children portraits require a confident and fun relationship with the models. As a matter of fact, it can take more time than a standard one-hour photoshoot.
Bearing that in mind, you should plan at least one-and-a-half-hour or even two-hour photosession. The price for a photographer in Bora Bora for a family photoshoot is around $1000 – $1500.
Price for a Wedding Photographer in Bora Bora
Would you like your dream come true and get married in Bora Bora ?
You will have a few different options to say "yes" in the most desired way. First one is to contact your hotel which can arrange everything. The only thing is to book a chosen "wedding package". It is easy and simple and will be perfect if you want to have an all-inclusive wedding. It can cost between $1000 and $8000. The standard photography service is included. Alternatively, if you wish to choose your own photographer, it will be possible for an extra fee.
The price of your wedding photographer can vary. It depends on your wishes. Would you like him/her to cover only the wedding ceremony? Or rather the getting ready, the first glance, the ceremony and the after-session? Maybe you would like him/her for a few days because your guests will make some once-in-a-lifetime activities in Bora Bora? The best is to choose the photographer you want to have by your side for this special event. He or she will suggest you the best solutions for your requirements.
Price for a boat trip with a photographer in Bora Bora
Are you looking for an unconventional photoshoot in Bora Bora? A boat trip can be a very good option. A boat photoshoot in Bora Bora has many advantages. The price for such an excursion: $1000 for two-hour trip or $2000 for four-hour trip. You could also be tempted by Drone Photography (see below) and Film Photography for this event. Both are excellent ideas!
Rates for a Drone Photographer in Bora Bora
Do you like drone photography and drone video? Have you seen some extraordinary drone pictures from Bora Bora, like this one :
Aerial photography is more and more popular in Bora Bora. However, you should know that it is not easy to do it yourself. There are specific rules for drones even for certificated drone pilotes. For example, there is a requirement to have a special permission to fly drone over the hotels and over the huge center area of Bora Bora. It is because planes fly very low and the restrictions were fixed for the global security.
If you would like to have some unique aerial photos/videos in Bora Bora, you should contact a certificated drone photographer.
The price for the aerial photography starts at $800. Aerial photography and drone video – at $1500.
If you would like to have a full service for photo/video/film photography, you should consider investing at least $3000.
Avoid extra fees: Ask your photographer for an all-inclusive price in the contract
You should note that some resorts in Bora Bora ask for entrance fees for photographers. What's more, photographers have some standard fees for the boat or plane to reach the hotel. Be careful and always ask your photographer for an all-inclusive price. You will avoid any misunderstanding or extra fees.
The best way to choose your photographer is to look at the photographer's website and Instagram page. You will find a list of photographers that you could book directly with the hotel. You could also contact your photographer online to ask specific questions. He will be happy to help you and guide you to make the best choice according to your budget.

Lee Seung Gi's Character from "Gu Family Book" is Popular Among Young Children Too
Outside stationary stores, you can now find Lee Seung Gi's character Choi Kang Chi's bracelet being sold through toy vending machines. The bracelets appear to be currently popular among elementary schoolers, serving as a testament to the success of his drama, "Gu Family Book."
On June 30, MBC's "Section TV Entertainment News" interviewed actor Lee Seung Gi at the set of MBC's drama, "Gu Family Book."
On that day, Lee Seung Gi described his emotions as the drama series was coming to a close. He said, "It's hard, I feel relieved yet sad at the same time. I also feel like for the first time, my popularity has expanded among elementary schoolers. I have been receiving the enthusiastic support of children around the age of 10." He continued while laughing, "They told me that they're selling Choi Kang Chi's bracelet in front of stationary stores. I'm guessing they're becoming a hot trend for kids these days."

New Fund Offer (NFO) are mutual funds that manage your money. NFOs provide investors with a first-time subscription for a new investment scheme. This is a scheme launched by an AMC. Investors are soon beginning to utilise NFO as a highly profitable investment option.
NFO is generally launched in the market by an AMC with the main objective of raising capital from the public. The funds collected are utilised by the AMC for purchasing securities that include stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, and debentures.
If you believe in mutual fund investments as a good option, then NFO is definitely one of the best investment choices in India. The fund managers operating NFOs constantly monitor the performance of the equity, debt, real estate, currencies, gold, and commodities markets. Thus, this helps the NFO fund managers improve the returns potential of the investors' portfolio by identifying key growth areas for investing the funds.
Why should you invest in NFO?
NFOs provide investors with the opportunity to make either a one-time lump-sum investment or to go in for monthly SIP investment. The fundamentals of NFO investment are very clear. If you invest a lump-sum of Rs. 120,000 at Rs. 12 per unit, the AMC will offer you 10,000 units in the NFO. These units can be traded in the open market by you at the existing NAV in order to book profits or for reinvesting.
If you invest in a tax savings NFO, then you will not only get the equity market benefits but will also save on taxes. You can invest in a NFO either through making a close-ended or an open-ended application. In case of a close-ended NFO application, there will be a start date and end date of the NFO. The NFO units are purchased by you at the NFO price itself. However, this changes completely when it comes to investing in an open-ended NFO because there is only a start date. Hence, an investor that purchases the NFO units in an open-ended fund after the start date will have to purchase the units only at the NAV and not the NFO price, as in case of a close-ended fund.
As an investor, always keep an eye for good NFOs in India, especially during the tax period between January to March since AMCs tend to float good schemes during this time.

Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Please read the offer document carefully before investing
