Samsung has now officially unveiled the next generation of the Galaxy smartphones, Samsung Galaxy S9.
Announced earlier today, the Galaxy S9 boasts more power over its predecessor and has gotten many improvements to its camera.
You can manually adjust the aperture of the camera to either f1.5 or f2.4 depending on the light you are in, one of the firsts on a smartphone. The UI has been changed so that switching between different camera modes is as easy as swiping the bar on the top. The regular S9 features one lens, while the S9 Plus has two lenses for better depth effect photos and wide photos. There's a 12MP rear sensor with optical image stabilization. It will also let you record videos at 240FPS at 1080P, or even 960FPS at 720P. The front facing camera is 8MP.
The camera is now also used a way to let you make your emojis. The software will scan your face and then allow you to customize your avatar to your liking. You can then make faces and poses and send those pictures as emojis through your texts. This seems somewhat in line with what Apple has done with Animojis while offering more customizability to the user.
One of the complaints of the S8 was its placement of the fingerprint scanner and how many people smudged the camera lens when using the scanner. Samsung has listened to all the complains and decided to move the scanner this to the bottom of the camera for easier access and to make sure the camera lens does not get scratches.
The Bixby button is still part of the S9. However, it has also gotten a UI change for a cleaner and better look. Functionality wise it is still unknown whether or not there have been any improvements.
S9 still has the Infinity Design display. The phone has a 5.8-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440X2960. It has a ratio of 18.5:9 with slimmer bezels than the S8, giving the S9 a smaller design body.
The device has Snapdragon 845, and depending on the model, there are different amount of RAMs. The regular S9 has 4GB of RAM, while the S9 Plus has 6GB. It comes with a 64GB of built-in storage.
Facial recognition has also gotten improvements in its sensors and recognition software.
Wireless charging is a standard, as well as a headphone jack. Fast charging through USB-C also makes a return, and so does the removable micro-SD card slot. The device also has front facing stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support.
The battery life has been improved between the two models, with the regular S9 having 3,000mh and the S9 plus having 3,500mh, largest of any Samsung smartphones right now.
Galaxy S9 is also water and dust resistant, with an IP68 rating.
The release date for the device is March 16th, and preorders go live on March 2nd. The available colors in the US are Black, Coral Blue, and Lilac Purple. The regular model costs $719.99 while the Plus size model costs $839.99

HP unveils 4K Envy 27 inch PC monitor, also selling 2016 Envy 13 Kaby Lake QHD laptop
Stephan Jukic – October 12, 2016
HP, a company which is no stranger to either 4K PC monitors or laptops with UHD graphics power has a couple new pieces of display technology to its list of ultra HD-related electronics gadgets.
First on the table is the sleek and compact Envy 13 notebook with its powerful new 4-graphics optimized Kaby Lake chipset from Intel.
The new chips, also known by their more technical denomination as Intel's dual-core 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-7200U 7th-generation Kaby Lake mobile processors, have been designed particularly for use in ultra HD laptops and other compact computing devices. As such, they've also been introduced to a number of other notebooks, most notably Razer's recently released and favorably reviewed new 4K gaming laptop, the Blade Stealth. What Kaby Lake technology offers is a particularly 4K-friendly notebook experience, with support for UHD upscaling, H.265 and even VP9 4K video compression decoding along with HDCP2 2.2 4K content copy protection encryption.
This is what is now included in HP's Envy 13 laptops, along with an Intel HD 620 GPU, fairly conservative 8GB of RAM and a 256GB PPCIe NVME M.2 SSD storage drive. Addtionally, the Envy 13 includes a single and also 4K-capable USB 3.1 Type-C port, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and HDMI 2.0 connectivity.
Basically, the 2016 Envy 13 laptop edition offers everything you'd need for a powerhouse 4K UHD office laptop except for the 4K screen resolution itself, though the notebook isn't too far off from this spec either with its QHD display that sits at 3200 x 1800 pixels.
Intel also claims that the Envy 13 supports a 14 hour battery life and a fast charging feature built into which allows for 90% of full battery charge within just 90 minutes.
For users who want some wonderfully sharp QHD display power that doesn't quite reach the data crunch of full 4K resolution, and the processing specs to handle said QHD resolution very robustly and smoothly, the 2016 Envy 13 notebook looks like an excellent choice thanks to its extremely impressive Kaby Lake chipset and connectivity specs.
Moving beyond notebooks, Intel has also unveiled a new 4K UHD Envy monitor with 27 inch display which does indeed sport a native 4K resolution (as its name obviously indicates). The Envy 27 comes nicely decked out with dual HDMI ports, one of which is a 4K-capable HDI 2.0 port. In addition to these there is a single gaming-ready DisplayPort 1.2 connection in the Envy 27 and the added AMD GPU-friendly inclusion of FreeSync technology built into the monitor's SP 1.2 connection.
This new 4K monitor is an IPS model and as such it sports extremely wide 178 degree viewing angles and like the Envy 13 notebook mentioned above, it also sports a single USB-C port for Thunderbolt connectivity to Apple PCs and notebooks.
The Envy 27 will be going on sale as of December 4th for a fairly reasonable price of $499.99. Considering its 4K and gamer-friendly specs and IPS display panel, we'd call this a pretty reasonable price tag for the time being.
As for the Envy 13 Kaby Lake notebook, it's already selling from the HP website and other retailers for a fairly reasonable price tag of $849.99.

Moving to a new house can be one of the most exciting times in a person's life. For many people, it provides them with a fresh start where they can begin to build a new life. For others, it's a stepping stone they can take with their growing family, where more amazing memories can be made together. However, that isn't to say it comes without its stresses, especially when you are moving with children. Sometimes, it can feel as though this stress overshadows the excitement of moving. To minimize these stresses and ensure moving goes smoothly, it's wise to follow some important tips.
Complete the paperwork
Paperwork is something that nobody likes doing, but it is an essential part of the moving process. From securing your finances to forwarding any mail, you should complete the necessary paperwork before you move, so that it is all out of the way. Some people hire a solicitor because this way, you can avoid any hidden costs and legal fees, and you can stay in control of your finances. When moving day arrives, it will be the last thing on your mind.
Plan moving day
Lots of people assume that moving can be done on the day. But this can cause far more stress than it's worth, and can even lead to you forgetting some important items. Some people can move their belongings with a small van, but a family who are moving to bigger places can expect to need the help of a moving company. Ideally, you should book your moving company in advance, so that everything goes to plan on moving day. It can be hard to trust somebody else with your possessions, so it's wise to visit a site like movingcompanyreviews.com to help you find your perfect match.
Pack in advance
Packing can take up the most time out of every part of the moving process. This is not only due to the number of items that must be packed away but because of how careful you must be with some more fragile belongings. Wrapping delicate items in paper or bubble wrap is a good start. You should also make sure to leave out select kitchen utensils and mattresses until the day of the big move so that your whole lives needn't revolve around packing. One key tip is to pack your belongings into boxes that correspond to where they will be going in the new house, as this will make unpacking easier, too.
Consider your children
Making sure all the physical elements of your house are safe is integral, but moving with children poses a whole new set of stresses. At any age, children will struggle with moving to a new area, especially if they are leaving their old lives behind to start a new one. Talking to your children and reassuring them that everything will be okay is important. You could take them to the new areas before the move, where they can begin to envision their new life. Reminding them that they can keep in contact with old friends when they have moved is also a good idea, thanks to innovations like social media.

As you age, your maturity may increase while your skin's elasticity starts to decrease. If the skin around your eyes has started to droop— making things like reading or putting on makeup to become increasingly difficult— then you may want to consider getting a blepharoplasty or an eyelift. As a surgical procedure that is designed to lift and remove the skin around the eyelids, a blepharoplasty can change how you see life. Just like with any other medical procedure, however, there are myths about eye lifts. To help you differentiate between fact and fiction, we have created this brief article. Read on to learn more.
It Corrects Wrinkles
In an ideal world, one surgery could be performed to get rid of all skin concerns. Often, patients think that an eyelid lift will get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. However, an eyelid lift won't be able to help in that department. IF you are interested, we can give you Botox injections to soften these fine lines and wrinkles in conjunction with your eyelid lift.
It Lifts the Brow
When people think of an eyelift, they often think of a brow lift which is used to lift and tighten the skin around the eyebrows. Although similar in nature, an eyelift and a browlift are different procedures. An eyelift only focuses on the skin around the eyelid itself. Whereas a brow lift involves surgically lifting the skin around the eyebrow.
It's An Invasive Procedure
For the most part, a blepharoplasty is a fairly easy procedure that can be done in our office with just the use of a local anesthetic— meaning that you won't have to worry about any of the side effects. There are some instances in which general anesthesia will have to be used, but it is very rare.
An eyelid lift can help improve your appearance and functionality. If you would like to learn more about this surgical procedure or if you would like to schedule a consultation, contact Twin City Plastic Surgery today!

Help guys this is not rocket surgery! It will almost start but not quite. It should be simple. One side at TDC steam valve let's steam into the top of that chamber drives the piston down . The other side BDC the steam valve let's steam into the bottom of that chamber and drives the piston up. I even made 2 polycarbonate top covers so I can see the valve action. When I put air in the system the 2 cylinders seem to be fighting each other. Any help would be appreciated. BTW before I painted it I had it running like a charm. And each side runs well on its own.

The Boy's Birthday Blessing
So the truth is that 30 years ago now, I thought I was raising up a future TV Evangelist. Or maybe it was a used car salesman. Red pants, Mom, really? And that plaid jacket? It's still tucked away in the foot locker with all the other baby clothes. And why shouldn't I have planned on him being a TV evangelist? He had the hair. The charm. He's great with people and bad with money. He appeared to have all the natural inclinations for being a star of some sort.
And so he is a star to many. Pam and Ann are two of his most vocal fans. It's always "Stephan this" and "Stephan that." You'd think these two gals had birthed this 9 pound wonder. But instead they just bask in the limelight of all the work that I put into raising this boy who would be king — with the right role to play and the right wardrobe.
It isn't easy, being the mother of a Revolutionary. The boy is always stirring the pot. Defending truth. Standing for what's right. Always willing to speak truth to power, no matter the cost. I blame his daddy for that. All those fool notions he put into the boy's head — talking nonsense about freedoms and rights and noble endeavors.
He leads an adventuresome life, this boy of ours. That's for sure. Leading revolutions one minute and working for those government folks the next. Sometimes it feels like I gave birth to Jason Bourne . From day to day, it's difficult to know exactly what his identity may be.
But no matter what the exterior may look like, this man now grown is still our boy, a blessing. The son that makes us proud, not only on this his birthday, but throughout the year.
And now a challenge to you — the first non-family member to pick him out of this first-grade photo will earn an autographed copy of Will Jesus Buy Me a Double-Wide?

Dorothy Heathcote: An Obituary
11 October 2011
The University of Derby was saddened to hear of the death of Dorothy Heathcote, a world-renowned teacher and one of its Honorary Doctors of Education.
Dorothy died last Saturday (October 8) aged 85, as the result of a blood disorder.
In a long career she revolutionised the use of drama in education through a variety of pioneering techniques.
Born on August 29, 1926, a remarkable life saw her leave school at 14-years-old to work in a Yorkshire wool mill and later train as an actress, before realizing her true vocation lay in education. By the age of 24 she was a Lecturer at Durham University's Newcastle-upon-Tyne campus.
Educational vision
Much as she enjoyed acting, her vision extended beyond the stage to the use of theatre as an educational construct, and a means for people to use drama as a means of exploring and understanding the world.
Dorothy remained at Newcastle when it became a university in its own right in 1962. Her openness of spirit and radical teaching approach drew a stream of postgraduate students to Newcastle; many of whom where welcomed into the home she shared with her husband Raymond and daughter, Marianne.
Dorothy's approach to drama practice shifted the teacher from being an instructor to the role of coach, facilitator and fellow artist; recognising the advantages of a co-creative process in which learners are empowered. The new terminology she created, such as 'teacher in and out of role' and 'rolling role', is now part of the canon for drama teaching world-wide.
Global Career
She worked with children, young people, teachers and students across the globe; from South African townships, to New Zealand Maori communities, to UK inner city areas and USA borstal institutions. Her pioneering methods in the use of dramatic reconstructions also saw her work with trainers at major organisations such as British Gas, Volkswagen UK and the Crown Prosecution Service.
However, wherever Dorothy was in the world she always tried to catch the earliest flight home. Her heart was first and foremost with her family.
Apart from the Honorary Doctorate of Education award she received from the University of Derby in 2007, Dorothy's work was recognised in many other ways.
She also received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was the subject of a BBC documentary film, and frequently received invitations to speak at prestigious international events.
MBE Award
Dorothy was awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list in June (2011), which her family will now accept for her at Buckingham Palace in December.
Addressing a gathering of teachers she reportedly once remarked: "I shall look forward to death." When people gasped she added cheerily that this was not in any morbid sense but as being "the greatest and most mysterious adventure of all".
A celebration of Dorothy Heathcote's life will be held at 1pm on Sunday December 11 at St Werburgh's Church, Church Street, Spondon, Derby. Those who knew her are welcome to come along but it would be appreciated if those attending could notify Dorothy's daughter, Marianne, via email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Enjoy beautiful views of the Olympics and Puget Sound. A nice sandy beach, perfect for lounging. Beach bonfires in Seattle? Yes please.
Golden Gardens Park is a beautiful, sandy gem that's perfect for spending a sunny summer day lounging on the beach, exploring the shore, stand up paddling, or even playing beach volleyball. This park also features some of my favorite views in Seattle. As day turns to night, enjoy a beautiful sunset with friends and prepare to get that bonfire going!
This is a popular summer spot, and the 12 fire pits are first-come, first-served, so your best bet is getting there early in the day and posting up. Parking can also be a bit of a challenge on nice days.
Please help do you part in keeping this park clean.

Epic Sunset
My review is solely based on the sunset we experienced last August 2017 (pic uploaded). We made it to the park approx. an hour before sun down and just posted up to take in the beautiful sunset. It did not disappoint. We actually ended up here chasing some Orcas that were traveling up the coast. So, not only did we get to see the Orcas swimming by, but we got to experience a truly epic sunset. Whales, sail boats, and mountains. Oh my!

Face full of Olympic mountains
Paddlers, runners, volleyballers - this beach is always packed near sunset for a few good reasons. There's a great event center here that I've seen rented out for all types of celebrations. If the parking lot is full, turn right under the bridge on the southeast side of the beach to find a whole hidden alcove of roadside dirt parking opportunities. Definitely worth the drive from the city center.

Beautiful Sunset Over Olympic
Posted up about 3pm on a Thursday in July to make sure we secured a spot. There were still a handful of fire pits left at that time. Such a fun night, definitely a Seattle staple!

Five Surprising Uses for Slider Bag Travel Bags
You may already use Slider Bag Travel Bags to store your TSA-approved-size toiletries on airplane trips, but now, here are five other ways to use these tiny wonders while traveling.
1) Keep important documents, like passports, boarding passes and itineraries, together in one waterproof place.
2) Store your underwear and socks in them to ensure they stay dry on camping trips.
3) Bring along a small bottles of detergent and stain remover in a slider bag. If you need to, you can wash clothes in the hotel sink. Don't give stains the chance to set over the rest of your time away.
4) Pack crayons and markers in them. Pair the art supplies with a couple coloring books to keep little hands occupied on long plane rides.
5) Bring along extras and place damp swimsuits and trunks in them rather than letting the rest of your luggage get wet.

AceGamez: " Nyko's Zero wireless controller for PS2 is an interesting product. The design is very angled and jagged, with very little round areas on the controller. It has the same layout and structure of the standard PS2 controller, with grips that are a bit longer and easier to hold for the bigger palms out there. The face of the controller comes in white and black - with the rest being entirely black - and has numerous screws right there on the surface. It's safe to say that Nyko were going for a cold and industrial approach with the design of the controller, and in that regard they've succeeded, although this is far from the best looking controller I've seen.
It's also far from the best controller I've put my hands around; initially it feels very odd, although it eventually grows on you, but the triggers feel pretty poor, with the R1 and L1 buttons simply clicking down quickly with no in-between. The R2 and L2 triggers work as triggers should, but the gap between not pressed and fully pressed is still very small."

Throughout July 2017, we hosted a series of Listening Sessions to hear from our community-based organization (CBO) partners (our partners that provide social services such as food and legal assistance) about their experiences-to-date, challenges and expectations regarding the changing health care landscape. Specifically, we asked about our partners' organizational experience in developing and marketing a value proposition for one or more of its services, any preparations they've made to succeed in a value-based payment (VBP) environment, and where our partners envision themselves following the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program.
While opinions varied, our partners focused on three important areas where OneCity Health can enable CBOs to better integrate with the evolving health care delivery system and demonstrate improved patient outcomes.
- First, aligning our network to leverage CBOs' strengths can improve their sustainability. With the health care system moving toward rewarding outcomes, CBOs want to ensure the services they provide are understood and integrated into OneCity Health's workflows and referral patterns.
For example, one attendee from Queens noted, "We often define ourselves based on the population served rather than the services provided." Participants said that continuing to tailor metrics to CBOs is an important first step.
- Second, CBOs are eager to implement data systems to facilitate analysis and track patient outcomes, but their resources are limited. The need goes beyond simply identifying or installing a new system; to align with the new health care environment, CBOs need to ensure they are using a common system, and that they know what to measure and how often they should measure.
- Third, CBOs are seeking additional knowledge and assistance to increase their ability to operate in a value-based payment environment. A common set of definitions, with more thorough explanations around what services improve value, would help, explained an attendee from the Bronx.
As one Bronx participant explained, "At [our organization] there are many different programs. The question is, how do we equate the service to the value that we really have, which is helping people get better?"
Beyond these three key takeaways, Listening Session participants acknowledged these conversations need to continue. In the near-term, these discussions will help influence the metrics and other parameters of our Phase III contracts. Additionally, as part of the technical assistance we are offering to our CBO partners, Community Service Society of New York (CSSNY) will begin reaching out to our CBO partners over the next few months to have them complete an Organizational Self-Assessment aimed at assessing their VBP readiness. Subsequently, CSSNY will be providing them with technical assistance to develop a value proposition. We hope our partners take advantage of this incredible opportunity to increase the sustainability of their agencies' services.

The veil Nebula, one of my favorites! I've previously captures this one, but felt i had a lot to improve. This is another attempt on capturing it and consist of a good mix of data captured over several nights. Finally i feel like i'm starting to get somewhere with this target! It's all captured with the QHY5L-II-M camera, unguided with a 50mm F/1.8 and a 135mm F/3.5 lens. Both are old manual Olympus OM lenses. Exposure: 10x 10 min OIII - 50mm F/1.8 (edit: F/2.8, not 1.8) 15x 10 min Ha - 50mm F/1.8 (edit: F/2.8, not 1.8) 4-part mosaic, total 254x 2 min Ha - 135mm F/3.5 Total exposure is 12 hours 38 minutes. Mainly it's Ha exposure though, and i'm looking forward to capturing more OIII as well at a longer focal length - but for now i'm really happy with the result!

NGC 6992 - East Veil with the AG12
Grinde posted a topic in Imaging - Deep SkyHow's going people? Long time since last post due to bright Swedish summer nights, gear-tuning and automation fiddling, but now I'm up & running again. I'm starting off the dark season with one of my favorite targets inside the cygnus loop, NGC 6992, east veil nebula. The subs where acquired during three moonlit nights, all subs unguided. (shooting other targets too, so subs are shot when the target is in the highest position in the sky, thanks to ACP automation) I've only used two filters for this image, Ha & O3 (both 5nm). I mixed the color close to Ha/O3/O3 as R/G/B , with slight different weights in G & B, to reach a more blue tone rather than cyan. Both Ha & O3 was used as luminance-data. I also created a "natural" star-color mix of the layers, with Ha / Ha+O3 / O3 as R/G/B and adjusted filterweights until I had a natural mix of yellow & blue (go Sweden!) stars, which was later applied as color-data with a star-mask on top of the image.

Essential Information
Hospitality is a broad industry that typically includes food and beverage management careers. As such, training in food and beverage management can often be found within associate's and bachelor's degree programs in hospitality management, as well as related undergraduate certificate programs. An internship course is often a requirement for degree-seeking students. These field experiences allow students to get supervised experience in a hospitality establishment. No special requirements are needed for admission to the certificate or undergraduate degree programs other than a high school diploma. Below is a short summary of the four schools in South Carolina that offer programs in this field, along with a table to compare options and tuition information.
College of Charleston
There are nine faculty members within to the Department of Hospitality and Tourism management at this Charleston-based school. The department offers a 4-year bachelor's degree program that includes options for studying abroad, as well as a mandatory internship that students complete in the summer before their senior year or during the fall semester of their senior year. Internship opportunities come from a variety of local resorts, restaurants and beverage companies. Coursework typically includes managerial accounting, management information systems and service operations management. Students also choose four electives, with possible classes such as food service operations analysis, hospitality marketing and human resource management.
Trident Technical College
Charleston-based Trident Technical College has certificate and associate's degree programs that prepare students for careers in food and beverage service management. Students in the AAS program in hospitality and tourism management take classes in food service management, food and beverage controls, food and beverage pairings, culinary management and menu planning. The school also offers food and beverage operations and advanced beverage service management certificate programs.
The programs are offered as part of the college's Culinary Institute of Charleston, which has facilities on the college's Main Campus and the Palmer Campus. In addition to extensive facilities on the main campus, the 26,000-square-foot facilities on the Palmer Campus include a dining room, production kitchen, amphitheater, teaching kitchens, baking lab and a beverage options lab.
University of South Carolina - Beaufort
The University of South Carolina - Beaufort has a campus in historic Beaufort and a south campus, also known as the Hilton Head Gateway Campus, in Bluffton. These regions are rich in tourist destinations and hospitality-oriented businesses, many of which offer tuition assistance for hospitality management students. This school offers a bachelor's degree program in hospitality management that requires students to complete at least 120 semester hours of classes. Students can tailor their course load to focus on food and beverage management. Typical classes include hospitality management, food production, food cost controls, food service management and nutrition. There is also a class in wines, spirits, beers and non-alcoholic beverages in food service establishments. Students can also expect to complete a 400-hour internship.
University of South Carolina - Columbia
The University of South Carolina in Columbia offers a bachelor's degree program in hospitality management through the School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management. The program includes a combination of general education courses, business classes and core courses, such as food production, introduction to the hospitality industry, restaurant food production management and hospitality management strategies. The required internship and practicum provide students with hands-on experience in the field. The school also offers a master's degree program that prepares students for upper-level management jobs.

A recent campylobacteriosis outbreak in Pennsylvania demonstrates that observing or exceeding state safety regulations often isn't enough for dairies to prevent Campylobacter jejuni from contaminating raw milk.
The outbreak was linked with raw milk from a dairy that was certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and conducted milk coliform and somatic cell testing more often than required. Despite its adherence with regulations, the dairy had been identified as the source of a 2012 campylobacteriosis outbreak that was the largest raw milk–associated outbreak in Pennsylvania in 2 decades, with 148 cases diagnosed.

The red macroalga Asparagopsis taxiformis has been shown to significantly decrease methane production by rumen microbial communities. This has been attributed to the bioaccumulation of halogenated met... morehane analogues produced as secondary metabolites. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of A. taxiformis supplementationon the relative abundance of methanogens and microbial community structure using an in vitro rumen fermentation model. Addition of A. taxiformis (2% organic matter) or the halogenated methane analogue bromoform (5 µM) reduced methane production by over 99% compared to a basal substrate only control. Quantitative PCR confirmed that the decrease in methane production was correlated with a decrease in the relative abundance of methanogens. High throughput 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing showed that both treatments reduced the abundance of the three main orders of methanogens present in ruminants (Methanobacteriales, Methanomassiliicoccales and Methanomicrobiales). Shifts in bacterial community structure due to the addition of A. taxiformis and 5 µM bromoform were similar and concomitant with increases in hydrogen concentration in the head space of the fermenters. With high potency and broad-spectrum activity against the diversity of rumen methanogens, A. taxiformis represents a promising natural strategy for reducing enteric methane emissions from ruminant livestock.less

First before reading this book I wrote please see this article to help understand
http://www.greenhouse.cornell.edu/crops ... n_form.pdf
You can have 20-20-20 lets focus here at the N of NPK . Look on the back of fertilome there is no chelated secondaries. Look at the nitrogens used in Fertilome. THey break down in water within 48 hours. You have various amonicioul nitrates, nitrogen nitrates etc.. there is various nitrogens fertilizer companies use. By all state laws what is on the containers must be listed. We are no different in fact our Colorado Agro license is under process so for once we will have to list our ingredient concentrations we've held secret until this point.
Jacks, Fertilome, etc.. all comprise of different nitrogen compounds. For example take our flower power package, put it in a clear plastic bottle leave the cap open .. put some FPP in the bottle so it turns blue. Leave it there for a week / two weeks/ three weeks it will stay blue. Do this with fertilome, or jacks, or a number of other "Lawn fertilizers" that use short dissipation nitrates. You will see in under 48 hours those 20-20-20 formulas turn from blue to clear, leaving sediment at the bottom meaning they don't last long and this simple experiment will show you a clear difference in our formula and theirs.
We found through experimentation the 20-20-20 with added amonoical nitrates and some nitrogens with PH binders is an excellent fertilizer for soil and hydroponics. So we actually source through a huge fertilizer company we pay rights too; the same chemical company likely jacks and fertilome use In fact my connection is a board member with VPG farms and setup my account with the company they get their chemicals from.
20-20-20 is a very popular and widely available NPK ratio, but our N in the NPK uses various nitrogens specific to cannabis. Example pour Jacks 20-20-20 in over dose on a seedling it will die. Due to high amonium nitrate percentile in their NPK ratios. We are doing tests with our formula of 20-20-20 to create a single one all be all nutrient no longer needing the bloom tub. I cannot tell you why due to proprietary tests working with Dr Spencer, but just know were modifying our 20-20-20 with whats best for cannabis growing. With fertilome or jacks you must add micronutrients, calcium and magnesium and they're for soil only, they will kill plants dead in hydroponics because they break down over night.
Our Colorado Agro license requires us to lists all concentrations so soon to follow state agro laws we will be publishing our nutrient with new list of ingredients. Which means Colorado Agro inspectors are then permitted at any time to come to our facility and take samples of our nutrients.
As a small business were not cooking up nitrates in our facility this would require FBI and other agencies to list us because of bomb making capabilities. Instead we contract with a chemical fertilizer producing company and tell them exactly what we want in our formula. Our current formula is 17-15-13 but this mixture is costly on state licensing because I have to get it analyzed by a local lab each time we get our product bulk manufactured to ensure we pass state tests each time.
This is why you can grow with the old fertilome nutrient and it did excellent until they changed the formula. Our 9-58-8 is ratiod like theirs but that too is soon changing to 10-32-10 if we cannot perfect a single all purpose ratio for both veg and bloom to make growing even easier. Example say for grass you want good grass you can buy bulk 20-20-20 from grow more a huge chemical fertilizer company ... put it on cannabis .. they don't produce heavy yields, but take grow more 20-20-20 mix it with fertilome 20-20-20 and jacks 20-20-20 your 75% of the way to our mixture EXCEPT none of those will work in hydroponics and they all state their formula is for soil only. Hydro is important if the solution does well in hydro then you can expect excellence in soil.
So like many fertilizer companies the NPK ratio's mean very very little other than a high NPK like 20-20-20 means you need very little for your plants so 1 pound of it goes a long way. If your 20-20-20 was comprised of ONLY Amonium nitrate for nitrogen , phosphorous, and volcanic ashe for potash you would have a 20-20-20 thats great for per say grass only.. yet would murder cannabis in hydroponics and also require multiple feedings in soil.
Say you went with Urea Nitrogen at 20% for the N in the NPK now you got a soft on seedlings nitrogen that can take quite a dose without killing them, but use it in hydro your nitrogen skyrockets the PH to a very high alkalidity because they plant will eat it, and crap out neutral ions no benefit to controlling PH. Yet Amonium nitrate will have the plant pooping out a positive Hydrogen molecules (I believe a mole of hydrogen) .. stuff gets complex fast. Mix all the nitrogens together in the N of the NPK you got control problems out the ass unless you ratio the individual nitrogens correctly which is part of our magic, the other part is PH stability for 3 weeks of hydroponics control stability. But now you need a bloom formula too, and believe it or not our 20-20-20 formula as it is today can be used from veg to bloom no need to even use the bloom formula. Our bloom formula mimics fertilomes except with secondaries and micro-nutes added. The bloom formula does one thing.. the high phos triggers the plants production of the bloom cycle. So in all honesty you can use the bloom nutrients just once switching the plant into bloom (triggers hormones etc..) then switch right back to 20-20-20 or the 17-15-13 as it currently is and get monsterous blooms due to our nitrogen composition , phosphorous and choice of potash source.
Now to trick it all up you need a water soluble formulas e.g Anhydrous based crystals and you need them stable so they don't break down over night in hydroponics like Fertilome, Jacks, Grow more and a few others will do since they lack stability for staying a long term water solute.
So 20-20-20 is in simple any nitrogen for the N at 20% ( there are various nitrogens you can use which one depends on the application and plant species needs) , 20% phosphorous, and 20% potash (volcanic ashe is great but we get our potash from an Hawaii source) specifically for cannabis uptake, and our secondaries are soluble AND stable. So to re-iterate this you can have the following formulas but their all 20-20-20
1. 20-20-20 20% urea nitrogen - 20% phos - 20% potash
2. 20-20-20 20% Amonium nitrate - 20% phos - 20% potash
3. 20-20-20 20% nitrogen nitrate - 20% phos - 20% potash
4. 20-20-20 15% Amonium Nitrate , UREA 2.5% , 2.5% Nitrogen Nitrate , 20% phos - 20% Vulcanic ashe (The ratio here is where we focus our Flower Power Package)
Please see this for example http://www.greenhouse.cornell.edu/crop ... n_form.pdf
When plants eat certain nitrogens they poop out a bi-product one might put it in a very simple analogy. This biproduct has effects on PH in your soil, and hydroponics. Nitrate in general is negatively charged and will cause severe PH rise in water and even soil , Amonium in balance can be used to keep your pH stable as the plants eat it, and release a cation (postive charged biproduct) which is acidic in form and causes PH to lower (normally you fight PH rising so you burn though allot of PH down) , and lastly Urea nitrogens are a neutral charged nitrogen .. this is why Urea is soft on seedlings. Now If I dive any further I give the haters of the nukeheads community ammo to change their own formula around so I'll end it here.
So as you can see you can have 20-20-20 of this or that you can have 20-20-20 that has water soluble nitrogens like jacks or fertilomes, or even grow more, and theres quite a few 20-20-20 since its popular for grass / yard fertilizers. But water soluble means you put it in your miracle grow sprayer, spray the crap in soluble form and it dries up once it hits the earth and stabilizes. IT DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL STAY STABLE IN HYDROPONICS where the fertilizer must be long term stable. Remember Oxygen causes rusts right ? Oxygen attacks ferrite(iron) and makes it break down. Iron is an essential micro-nutrient to plants especially in hydroponics. We also adjust for cases of hydroponics and soil use with tap water where chlorines have reactions to certain elements in such fertilizers .. water has oxygen in it right aka H2O ?? So now oxygen in your tank is having reactions to your iron and other micro-nutes !!! Now hydroponics growers run "DEAD SYSTEMS" meaning no microbes, they run UV lights that kills algae, brown slime and most all eukaryotes or prokaryotes ( organisms with and without a nuclei) ... but UV also reacts with trace elements breaking them down. How to combat this and keep your nutrient stable ? So while we work with Colorado's agro department we did insist on our work and findings be kept secret as much as possible. That being said what we will soon be required to list on our formula will to those who know no better look similiar in "RATIO" to other fertilizers available, but the binders, stabilizers, and nitrogens used will only be listed as much as required for license purposes. The rest will be filed with Colorado and we will provide an MSDS data sheet to also meet requirements.
So I hope this brings some light on those who were wondering, but yes, we source our chemicals from companies because thats costs effective.
Ohh and you can buy 50lb bags of Azo's water soluble trace minerals these days for about 50$ so making your own fertilizer at home is possible, but the second you do such your state has authority to inspect your home due to agro mandates ... I learned this shortly after a state agent visited me with federal warnings to get our stuff licensed or else !!!! So as you can see we are going about things in the appropriate manner. I think I will buy some fertilome, stick an air-stone in a clear glass jar ... put water and fertilome in the jar, and then do the same thing with Jacks, grow more, and our fertilizer then do a 48 hour time lapse video to show how they each break down and turn clear, while ours stays blue and stable !

I found men so useless (and unkind, to put it politely) that I haven't had one around for 22 years. Bought bike hooks--ROFL! ;)
Now that I think about it, I'd make a great bicycle stand.ReplyDelete
Socks on the toilet seat? Really had never heard of that one,Fran. Fun items. Is there a way to recycle all of us who are getting too old?ReplyDelete
Thanks for the cute little suggestions.!ReplyDelete
The lip balm on cuticles actually works, and it's easier to carry a tiny lip balm than a tube of hand cream.ReplyDelete
I haven't yet found a use for any of the men I know.

BeCA's September Public meeting is on tonight (Monday Sept 3rd) at 6:45pm at Bellvista Meeting Place. All are welcome to attend.
The major speakers will be making presentations on preparing for the upcoming Bushfire and Storm Seasons. Cr Baberowski will give a report and there will be an update on local happenings from the Caloundra Police.
In General Business we anticipate the subjects of Local Aircraft Noise and what you can and can't do with with a Biopod. Several residents have gone ahead and beautified their biopod with some new plants and rocks. Council has requested that the biopod be returned to its original condition as any beautification could cause the biopod to act as a storm water cleaning strategy less effectively.
SC Council has supplied the documents below for the information of residents. Council Parks and Gardens will be attending our November Public Meeting and the feeling is there could be some lively debate from what some residents class as an eye sore and a danger right at their front door.

If you're looking for a good deal on a new vehicle, then the July 4thholiday may give you multiple reasons to celebrate America's independence. Automakers are offering a variety of deals hoping to entice buyers to dealership on their way to see fireworks.
This holds true even though Independence Day falls in the middle of the week this year. Most of the deals spill over into the weekends on either side of the holiday, notes U.S. News and World Report, which compiled the list of auto deals.
Many of the deals involve great financing offers, like on the 2019 Honda Pilot where qualified buyers can get 0.9% for 36 months. Other great deals for buying and financing include:
- 2019 Toyota Avalon: $3,000 cash back. In some areas, buyers can get 1.9% financing for 24-60 months
- 2019 Hyundai Elantra: 0% financing for 60 months
- 2019 Hyundai Tucson: $3,000 cash back or 0% financing for 60 months

Lease deals are also on the rise as well. For example, the well-reviewed new Genesis G70 can be had for $299 per month for 36 months with $3,400 due at signing. Other lease deals include:
- 2019 Toyota Avalon: $369 a month for 36 months with a $3,999 down payment
- 2019 Hyundai Elantra: $199 a month for 36 months with $2,699 down payment (Elantra GT)
- 2019 Honda CR-V: $249 a month for 36 months with $2,399 due at signing
- 2019 Hyundai Tucson: $249 per month for 36 months with $2,499 due at signing
- 2020 Toyota Corolla: $219 per month for 36 months with $1,999 due at signing or $199 per month for 36 months with $2,999 due at signing
(Jeep Takes Top Spot Again on American-Made Index)
Since it's also graduation season, many automakers offer special deals for recent college graduates, and those offers can be combined with other car deals in some cases, the magazine notes. While it may seem like a nice gesture to make toward those getting their feet under them and buying their first new vehicle, the deals are designed to try buy interest and, hopefully, develop a loyal buyer.
Honda, Acura, Ford and Toyotaoffer $500 discounts when you buy a new car and finance through their lending partners. Depending on what vehicle the new grad buys, they can save as much as $1,000 on the price of a new Nissan. When registering with Chevrolet's college program, the automaker sends a code for a discount on most Chevy models.
Hyundai offers a couple of programs for recent grads. One offers discounts of $400 on most models. The other, called Hyundai Student Assurance, pays off up to $900 of your student debt when you buy a new car. Currently, the student debt repayment program is only available to residents of California and Phoenix, Arizona.
(New Vehicle Sales Expected to Drop in June)
More importantly, there are variations on many deals depending upon the region. Additionally, potential buyers should shop dealerships as some will offer additional deals, such as an additional $500 off or free services like oil changes, that can help offset the long-term costs of a new vehicle.

Faculty: Robert Sablatnig
The term image registration describes the procedure of aligning multiple images acquired by different modalities/sensors, at different time points or from different viewpoints (1). In this dissertation, the images are stemming from different sensors. If two images are considered, one image is considered as the source image, while the other one is referred to as the target image. The overall aim of image registration approaches is to determine a transformation between the source and target images. There have been multiple approaches during the last decades in order to find such a transformation (1,2). According to (1) the process of image registration involves the following steps: Feature detection and matching, transform model estimation and image transformation. The first stage – feature detection and matching – can be categorized into area-based (or intensity based) methods and feature-based methods. Intensity based approaches are considering a dense correspondence between the target and source images, whereby the entire image domain is considered. According to (1) and (2), these techniques are usually employed for medical images, since these images contain less salient image content than for instance remote sensing images. Similarity measurements used by area-based techniques include the normalized cross correlation, or the sum of squared differences. Feature-based approaches are in contrast considering the correspondences between a subset of control points in the source and target images. It is stated in (1) that feature-based approaches are preferable if an image contains a sufficient amount of salient image points, since area-based techniques tend to produce wrong registration results if the target and source images contain smooth regions. Feature-based registration methods on the contrary, are solely considering salient control points and find corresponding control points by applying feature matching techniques. Salient image content can be found by applying feature detection approaches like Harris corner detector or Difference of Gaussians. The features found have to be represented in a way that they are invariant to the assumed degradations (1)- for instance illumination changes between the source and target image, or different camera lens distortions. For example, the famous SIFT (3) feature descriptor can be used for a scale invariant description of the image content. The features found in the referenced and sensed image can be matched with appropriate methods. There are hybrid methods existing, which combine area-based and intensity-based approaches: For instance in (4) such a hybrid algorithm is used in order to enable a robust registration of computer tomography images. After the matching between corresponding image regions, the mapping function is determined. The type of the mapping (or transformation) model should be chosen according to the assumed geometrical distortion. The deformation models used for image registration are either inspired by physical models – for example diffusion based models – or based on interpolation theory. One of the most important group of approaches – falling in the category latter mentioned – are Radial Basis Functions (RBF) (2). One example for RBF approaches is the Thin-Plate Splines (TPS) technique, which is capable of handling local deformations. TPS based registration provides accurate registration result, but can require high computational load (1). Global transformations on the other hand are easier computable, but are only capable of handling global deformations – like translation or rotation.

Winter is one of the hardest seasons to drive in, with all the snow, icy roads, and cold weather. The cold weather can make the pliable materials stiffer and more brittle, and it can also make fluids thicker. Additionally, the roads can be more dangerous due to the icy and snow-covered roads.
For this reason, you must make sure to have your car ready for winter by doing some basic car maintenance checks. Doing so will help you save money and time as the season turns for the worst. Here are some simple car maintenance tips to help you get through the winter.If you want to know more about wheels and shaft then visit Cardan Shaft India and Cardan Shaft Manufacturer in India
1. Tune-up your car
Before you use your car, you must take it to your car service center for a tune-up. A tune-up will help keep your vehicle running longer, and it will also help you save money by detecting and preventing problems.
2. Get the right tires for winter
There are different types of tires available for different driving conditions. When choosing the right tires for winter, you must first consider your needs. The all-season tires are not usually effective during winter where there are lots of snow and icy roads. For instance, there are winter tires with new tread patterns and rubber compounds which make them quieter on dry roads, and very effective on icy roads. Choosing the right winter tires will help you avoid slipping off the road or other accidents.To know more about Car maintenance in winter click here.
3. Check your oil and other fluid levels
You have to check that your car's transmission, power steering, brake, and windshield fluids, as well as the oil, and coolants are filled to proper levels. You also have to remember that there are certain engine oils that don't perform well in the cold weather. Make sure that your oil is good for your location, and change it when necessary. If your fluid levels are at proper levels, your vehicle will run better and you will be less susceptible to road problems.
4. Check your battery
Since you will be driving your vehicle on testy roads, you must pay close attention to your car's battery. You have to realize that winter puts more stress on your car battery, especially if you park outdoors. You can consider a load-test for your battery since this is cost-effective and can save you from problems down the road. If you find out that your battery is not doing well, you can replace it when you need to.
5. Prepare a winter emergency kit
You must always bring with you an emergency road kit. In addition, you must also have a special winter emergency kit which includes: sand for tire traction on snow, and an ice scraper and de-icing liquid.

Copper is a mineral rarely found in drinking water. It is also an important component that makes our bodies healthy, but only in very small amounts. Copper can also be found in some foods and they are safe to take as long as you are sure that there is only a very small amount. High levels of copper intake will cause serious damage to health. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are some of the symptoms that are associated with elevated intake of copper. Kidney and liver failure are just two of the deadly effects of high copper content in the body. One of the causes why copper is mixed in drinking water is when the plumbing and its pipes are too old and corrosion occurs. Copper is one of the components of metal pipes. There are ways to remove copper from your drinking water. Here are some.
Sometimes when a household is near a mine, an industrial factory, or farm, waste from these places sometimes flow into beaches and rivers near your area, thus contaminating your drinking water in the process. If you have your own well, you can have your drinking water tested by your local government so that you can be sure of the cleanliness and safety of the water that you and your family drink. Boiling water does not fully eliminate the copper content in your drinking water, so better and safer measures should be taken to ensure the health of everyone living in your household.

Backwater-Backflow Preventer System South Florida
Owning a home in Florida means you need to have 24/7/365 access to backflow professionals in Florida. And that means having instant access to Miranda Plumbing & Air Conditioning.
A backflow preventer plays a vital role of keeping the water in your system from flowing back into the public water supply. When your backflow preventer is not working properly, you can potentially contaminate the Florida water supply meant for consumption. To prevent this from happening, Miranda Plumbing & Air Conditioning provides certified backflow testing, backflow preventer repair, and backflow certification to customers in Florida's Treasure Coast & the Palm Beaches. Our prompt, professional and affordable backflow preventer repair services help keep our public water supply clean and healthy.
Miranda Plumbing & Air Conditioning's prompt service and experience ensure the backflow certification requirements and backflow codes set by these municipalities are met.
There are several devices used to prevent backflow and to ensure that water only travels in the correct direction:
- Reduced Pressure Backflow Preventer – This device prevents backflow by controlling the water pressure and directing the flow.
- Non-Return Valve – When properly fitted, this valve forces water to travel in the correct direction.
The plumbers at Miranda Plumbing & Air Conditioning have an in depth understanding of each of these devices, which enables us to provide reliable backflow preventer repairs.
What is Backflow?
Backwater or Backflow is the unwanted reversal in the flow of water from a real or possible source of contamination or pollution back to the clean public water supply.
There are 2 types of backflow:
Back Pressure: Occurs when the user system is at a higher pressure than the supply water systems allowing undesirable substances to be "pushed" back into the potable water system.
Back Siphonage: Occurs when negative or reduced pressure exists in the supply piping allowing undesirable substances to be "drawn" into the potable water supply.
How Can FL Backflow Be Avoided?
- Reduced Pressure Backflow Preventer. A reduced pressure backwater-backflow preventer system is used to protect Florida water supplies from contamination by controlling the pressure and directing the water flow.
- Non-Return Valve. A non-return valve when properly fitted ensures water flows through a pipe in the correct direction, where pressure conditions may otherwise cause reversed flow.
Why Do FL Backwater-Backflow Preventer Systems Have To Be Tested?
Florida mechanical Backwater-Backflow Preventers , just like many plumbing systems, have an internal seal, springs and many moving parts. Like any tool of this nature, fouling, wearing out and breaks are possible.
Not only are these systems subject to damage but they can also be bypassed. This is why it is necessary to ensure they are functioning properly. Sometimes a visual check will do, but all mechanical backflow prevention systems in Florida have to be tested with specialized, properly calibrated equipment. Miranda Plumbing & Air Conditioning has the backflow testing equipment and backflow prevention expertise to handle your Florida backflow issues.
Why Choose Miranda Plumbing & Air Conditioning?
Miranda Plumbing & Air Conditioning is a family owned business serving Florida's Treasure Coast & the Palm Beaches since 1981. We take pride in offering integrity, excellence and responsive "Red Carpet Service" to each and every customer. When you choose us for your backflow preventer repairs, you can be sure that your repair is in the capable hands of a licensed professional, and that all work will be completed to your satisfaction.

Introduction: Table Extender/Shelf
So this is the table extender/shelf. This is useful because if you are running out of space at your desk, you can easily build a shelf that sticks out of the table.
What I used to make it (may vary depending on thickness of table):
Stretching pole 90 cm. (from Daiso)
4 water bottles
Popsicle stick
3 birch plywood boards 12 in. X 12 in.
2 wood (I'm not sure what kind of wood it is, but it doesn't matter) boards 4 in. X 6.5 in.
1 wood board 4 in. X 12 in.
1 wood board 12 in. X 6.5 in.
2 clamps
2 smaller clamps
1 eco-lock cap
Hot glue gun and glue sticks (only use if you are impatient and want it to dry fast)
Gorilla Glue
2 metal pieces that are at an angle (Sorry I don't know the names of these either)
Cute Sakura Wallpaper (for decorations)
Blue dotted wax paper (for decorations)
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Sand All Wooden Pieces
By sanding all the wooden pieces, the wood becomes smooth and are less likely to give splinters.
Step 2: Clamping Some of the Pieces Together
So what you do is that you place one of the metal pieces on one of the big clamps. Then you take the smaller clamp and clamp the metal piece onto the big clamp as shown in the picture. And then use one of the glue to glue the metal piece on for extra security. Then leave the clamps on there until the glue dries. You can take the clamps off, but there is going to be a lot of weight placed on the metal piece, so I highly recommend leaving the smaller clamp on. And then repeat this step with the other clamps, but make sure to put it on the different side of the other big clamp.
Step 3: Cutting the Bottles
Now cut each of the bottles into the pieces as shown in the picture. I cut it so that it is 2.5 inches high, but I feel like it should be slightly higher.
Now with one of the extra leftover bottle, cut another piece so that it is 3 inches. This piece will be used later on.
Step 4: Decorations!
This step is not required, but in my opinion, it makes it look nicer. What you do is that you take the sakura wallpaper and cut it into 12 in. X 12 in. Then I stuck it onto one of the 12 in. X 12 in. wood boards. I only did one, but you can put it on all of the wooden pieces. To make it look nicer, I hot glued the sides, but if you don't hot glue it well, the sides might end up being pointy and not smooth.
You can also take the blue dotted wax paper and wrap it around all the cut bottle pieces, but I only put on the 3-inch cut bottle.
Another thing you can do that I didn't do is that you can paint the boards if you don't have wallpaper. Or you could paint the clamps and metal pieces.
Step 5: Placing Bottle Pieces Onto Board
Place the bottle pieces onto the corners of one of the 12 in X 12 in board. And then glue it with either glue.
Place glue on to the top of the bottles and place the other 12 in X 12 in board with the wallpaper on top of the bottles.
Step 6: Placing Wooden Pieces Onto Top of the Board
Now take the 2 wooden pieces that are 4 in. X 6.5 in. And place it onto the sides of the board on the top. Then glue it.
After that take the wooden piece that is 4 in. X 12 in. And place it behind the 2 wooden pieces also on top as shown in the picture. And then also glue it.
Step 7: Placing Wooden Piece on the Top
Take the smallest wooden piece left (12 in. X 6.5 in.) and glue it onto the top of the 3 pieces from the last step as shown in the picture.
Step 8: Glue Final Wooden Piece Onto Bottom
Take the final wooden piece (12 in. X 12 in.) and put Gorilla glue onto half of the board. Then take a popsicle stick and spread the glue evenly out. After that, place it on the bottom of what we have so far. Then wait until the glue dries and hot glue the sides for extra security.
Step 9: Glue Eco-lock Cap Onto Bottom
Flip what we have over and glue the eco-lock cap onto the bottom. It would be best if glued in the center and on the board with the water bottles glued on it. Then take the pole stretcher and stick it onto the eco-lock cap. It should fit in and if it moves around that should be fine. The pole stretcher should be removable so that the invention can be portable.
Step 10: Place Wrapped Bottle Piece on Top
With the final bottle piece, take it and glue it onto the very top of the invention as shown in the picture. This piece will be the pencil holder.
Step 11: Putting It Together
Just watch the video to see how to put it together!
Sorry, the video could not be edited properly. Also thanks to my brother for filming it!

Why Should You Clean Your Hands Diligently?
Hands are one of the organs in the body that we use most often to do various kinds of daily activities; eat, drink, store things, carry things, take a bath, wear clothes, cook, even clean up a dirty place. Indeed, we often forget to maintain its cleanliness. Meanwhile, there are many invisible germs that nest in the palm.
Skincare Before You Sleep
Throughout the day and its activities, your skin whether you realize or not, are in fact facing exposure from ultraviolet, dust, and pollution. The most visible thing of the impact is the premature aging, such as wrinkles, complexion, and fine lines. As hard as it is to avoid the damages, you can help to reduce it strength by doing simple skincare before you sleep.
Goodbye Oily Scalp, Welcome To Lush and Healthy Hair!
Generally, skin is one of the most important parts of our body. In addition to functioning as a hot-regulating organ, a water reservoir, and a dermis sensory nervous system protector, the skin also plays an important role as a means of excretion (expenditure). In this role, the scalp can not only sweat, but also the oil contained in the dermis tissue. Oily skin can be caused by the habit of eating oily…

Dejan Lovren has accused Romelu Lukaku of deliberately kicking him during Liverpool's goalless draw with Manchester United on Saturday.
Romelu Lukaku appeared to catch his opponent's face with his boot following a tangle during the latter stages of the first half at Anfield.
Lukaku has since been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Football Association, but Lovren insists that the United striker could have done more to avoid making contact.
"I made a tackle there – I just felt he was over me he could have moved away," he told reporters. "But, to be honest, my honest view was he did it on purpose. Even if he didn't do it [on purpose], he would usually apologise, he was nervous during the game, that was also the reason.
"It happened on the pitch – it's over and nobody can change it now. It's not my decision [to punish him or not], of course. I cannot say I'm disappointed, it is what it is, we need to move on, that's football."

NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION RALLY, Two years on from the NT Intervention and WGAR website launch.
Here's a recent testimony from Santa Theresa, NT highlighting that 'consultation' is a very far cry from negotiation or consent:
Imelda Palmer is a teacher and community leader in Santa Teresa, where
consultations were held today. She says that no notice was given for
the meeting.
"Not many people know about this meeting. I only found out about the
meeting when the ABC jounalists came to interview me. I walked up and
there were maybe 12 or 17 people sitting around the table. That's not
good enough. It should have been a public meeting out in the open, for
the whole community, not behind closed doors. It needs to be one voice
out there in the open if this is proper consultation".
Ms Palmer is angry that the government has already decided to continue
with compulsory Income Management.
"Why did she send out a team from her government bodies with their
discussion paper to talk about the Intervention and ask us how its
going? What's that for when behind our back she's on the media saying
its going to keep being compulsory. That's not fair. That's not right,
to be controlled like that.When they first went ahead, they didn't
think of consulting with communities in the NT. Now this time, they
are coming in a different way. When the people write down that we
don't want that basics card, or anything like this Intervention, are
they going to listen to them?"
"We are all Australians, we are all in one country. Why treat the
indigenous people like that, with the Basics Card? Its outright
discrimination. The whole Intervention isn't working in communities
anyway, the community has just been going down since they started.
People are confused. We are suffering because the government is taking
the power away".
