The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee have launched a new inquiry into the UK's science infrastructure.
The committee wants to find out whether there is a suitable long term plan in place for the initial investment, use, operational costs and upgrades of scientific infrastructure.
They will look at large to medium-sized equipment and e-infrastructure used to support scientific research and they are inviting written evidence on the issue, which should be submitted by June 21.
Chairman Lord Krebs says: "Large scale science infrastructure such as super computers, telescopes and major lasers are of great importance to scientific endeavour. Internationally we have seen the impact the Large Hadron Collider in Cern has had on our understanding of the universe.
"It is essential that the UK has an investment strategy in place to develop its own infrastructure to support scientific discovery and, ultimately, economic growth.
"We will seek to establish whether there has been an adverse impact on UK scientific infrastructure from reduced Government investment, whether Government has a robust, fit-for-purpose process for identifying and planning for future infrastructure needs, and how infrastructure stimulates co-operation with industry, other academics and the EU.
"Our report will then set out the way ahead on this vital issue for Government."
Specific questions the Committee poses for those submitting evidence are:
• What scientific infrastructure is currently available in the UK and do UK researchers have sufficient access to cutting edge infrastructure? How does this compare to other countries?
• What role should the Government play in ensuring there is an effective long-term strategy for meeting scientific infrastructure needs?
• Is it more important to invest in large national infrastructure or medium infrastructure?
• How were decisions on investment made since the Comprehensive Spending Review reached? What has been the impact on these decisions?
• What has been the impact of removing capital spend from the ring-fenced budget? Should the ring fenced science budget be redefined to include an element of capital spend?
• Are effective and fair arrangements in place for access and charging for public and private science infrastructure?
• To what extent do funding structures in the UK help or hinder involvement in EU and international projects?
• What impact does publically funded scientific infrastructure have in terms of supporting innovation and stimulating the UK's economy?
Written submissions should be provided to the committee as a Microsoft Word document and sent by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com

Battle Tours
Australia's Trusted Battlefield Operator
Welcome to Battle Tours, and our personalised small group tours, designed to fit both your time frame and budget. For the past 21 plus years Battle Tours has organised tours to former battlefields around the world. These unique tours take in the local history and include visits to battlefields, memorials, museums and other areas of interest. We have the ability to organise specific tours for the individual, small group, school or cadet group. Whilst there are no age restrictions a medium level of fitness is required on all tours. We thank you for visiting the Battle Tours web-site and are hopeful that you will allow us to help you plan your next historical holiday.
The Western Front ANZAC Day
World War I, 1914-1918, was the 'Great War', the 'war to end all wars'. In that conflict, the most important battleground was the 'Western Front' in France and Belgium where great battles were fought with names that were once household words in Australia — Fromelles, the Somme, Bullecourt, Messines, Passchendaele, and Villers–Bretonneux. Of the more than 295,000 Australians who served in this theatre of war in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF), 46,000 lost their lives and 132,000 were wounded. Join our Western Front tour in April 2019 and you will not be disappointed.
Hellfire Pass ANZAC Day
A special tour, ANZAC Day Thailand tour to commemorate ANZAC Day at Hellfire pass at Kanchanaburi War Cemetery. Known as the Railway of Death, visit the 'Bridge over the River Kwai' where the greatest number of lives were lost while constructing the Thai-Burma Railway during WWII. Visit the JEATH war museum, the Weary Dunlop Museum. Time for shopping in Bangkok, a cruise in a traditional long tailed boat and a visit to a floating market.
Sabah Borneo
Sandakan Borneo Tour ANZAC Day
Commemorate the Anzac Day service at Sandakan POW Camp and afterwards walk around St Michaels Church, where many POWs spent their first night in captivity in Sandakan. Visit the Kundasang WWII Memorial which was one of the first memorials to commemorate the brave Australian and British POWs who died in Sandakan during the infamous death marches. A short flight to the island of Labuan to pay respects to service personnel buried in the well-maintained cemetery. Also, see the wild life, spend time shopping and watch magnificent sunsets. This is a surprise destination.
Vietnam ANZAC Day 2019
9 or 17 Days
Join us to commemorate ANZAC Day at Long Tan for either a 10 day tour of the south or 18 days to travel north to see more of this delightful country.
Robert Birtles
"From start to end my experience with "Battle Tours" in arranging a group of Vietnam Vets to re visit familiar grounds
(within the Phouc Tuy province) was excellent. The tour arranged by Battle Tours was custom built to suite the groups military experiences
whilst serving in Vietnam 1966/67. The accommodation, areas visited were as requested and more. The tour guide was exceptional.
This is my second dealing with Battle Tours - all good.
"Many thanks for a very informative, well priced thoroughly professional tour of Lone Pine/Gallipoli. It was a pleasure being on your tour especially with our international group of varied but like minded people. Having myself read a lot on the subject I found between Ron and the guide, Ilhan you were well able to fill in the gaps and personalise the key events and moments of not just the Battle of Lone Pine but also the Gallipoli campaign itself. "
"Just a short note to say how much I enjoyed the Centenary tour to France and Belgium. It was a good mix of battlefields and other attractions, the hotels were great and really centrally located which made for easy walking. I think we were very lucky to have Rod and Jacqui as our guides. I wish I had have had a tape recorder for all the information that Rod brought together! "
Kathryn Mackie
"I would highly recommend "Battle Tours" as the company to go travelling with for your next war tour. From the beginning to the end they where professional, competitively priced, helpful and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip with them on the Sandakan Death March Anzac Day tour this year and will be using their services again."
Dough Waters
"From my point of view, I found our tour very good. The accommodation was well above what I expected and the resort at Kanchanaburi was superb. Both our tour guide and Tim our driver were excellent and where most accommodating to our wishes. The organisation of our flights to and from worked a treat and provision of meals at the various restaurants and hotels were spot on. I would be only too pleased to recommend your business to anyone that enquired about it from me."

After having made a cradle for my sister's first baby I decided to make something different for the second and settled on a blanket chest. Since she was having a girl I wanted to add some color to it and settled maple for the frame, purpleheart for the panels, and then lined it all with aromatic cedar. Its fairly large, about 40" wide, 24" high and 24" deep.
When designing the chest I decided on a box technique mitering the corners and holding together with a spline. In theory this was a great idea but in reality it made the assembly much harder than it could have been had I just mortised and tenoned the frame together.
The panels on the front and sides were from a 14" wide piece of purpleheart that I had cut and milled to 1/4" to slide in the groves of the maple frame. (As a side note I started out with a regular bandsaw blade and after wasting way too much purpleheart during the resaw I picked up a Laguna resaw king blade-well worth the investment. It made resawing the remaining pieces so much easier.) The back panels (of which I forgot to take photos) are made of bookmatched purpleheart since I ran out of the wide stock.
The inside was then lined with aromatic cedar, milled to 3/8". I didn't have the time to tongue and groove the lining since the baby showed up early so I just had to line it up and glue it in place. At the last minute I decided to add a lip around and add a little drawer of maple, box jointed together, and also lined with cedar.
I coated the purpleheart with a marine spar varnish to protect from browning and on the maple I used a water based satin General Finishes Arm-R-Seal. The torsion hinges are from Rockler and work great. The directions said I needed five of the hinges based on the weight and size but after installing three it worked great and I decided I didn't need any more.
You can see my one mistake in the lower left front where a cut the rabbet too wide and had to fill it in. I failed to do a dry test fit and only noticed it on glue-up. Lesson learned.
Overall it was a fun build and as always a great opportunity to develop new skills.

Israel Anti-Boycott Act (S. 720) calls for criminal penalty of $1 million and 20 years in prison
Glenn Greenwald Ryan Grim July 19 2017, 9:30 a.m. The criminalization of political speech and activism against Israel has become one of the gravest threats to free speech in the West. In France, activists have been arrested and prosecuted for wearing T-shirts advocating a boycott of Israel. The U.K. has enacted a series of measures designed to outlaw such activism.

The secret behind why lip balm makes your dry lips worse
Cracked skin, bleeding sores, dry lips — these are the types of things we use lip balm to prevent, especially in the winter. But some people are saying that not only did their EOS lip balm not prevent these problems, it actually caused them. And they're suing.
Even though EOS lip balm has been taking store shelves (and purses) by storm with its adorable egg-shaped case, pastel colors and wide variety of flavors, some customers are alleging that the cute balm has done some very not-cute things to their lips.
People are reporting some serious skin damage, ranging from a burning feeling and excessively dried-out lips all the way to open sores around their mouths that take months to heal. Now injured customers have filed a class action lawsuit against the company, whose name, ironically, is an acronym for "evolution of smooth."
I actually have the the lemon drop flavor on the table next to me right now and I'm giving it some serious side-eye.
So what causes this?
This kind of reaction isn't as unusual as you might think, says Marina Peredo, M.D., a New York-based dermatologist. "We see a lot of reactions like this to cosmetic products in general," she says, adding that it appears to be an allergic reaction, called contact dermatitis or cheilitis, to one or more of the ingredients in the lip balm.
More: Lip balm addiction: What it is and what you can do about it
Public enemy number one? Fragrances are the primary allergen in cosmetics, causing far more reactions than anything else, Peredo says. Numbers two and three are artificial colors and flavors. And after a quick scan down the EOS ingredients list, she finds several other common allergens including olive oil, coconut oil, vitamin E and even the beeswax used as the base ingredient of the popular balms — ingredients that are common in many lip products. She cautions that just because something is "natural" doesn't mean you won't have a problem with it, adding that all the different types of extracts could also cause a reaction.
"Some people are more sensitive than others, but it's also possible to develop an allergy over time," she explains. "And when you're sensitive to one ingredient in a product, then you become sensitive to the whole thing." Plus, people who have asthma or eczema have a higher risk of allergic reactions.
More: What exactly is happening under your skin when you pop a pimple
There may be another, subtler reason behind all the swollen lips, Peredo says. And it's something we all do, especially in the cold, dry weather: lip licking. "Saliva itself can break skin down, and so constantly licking your lips can open up cracks, making you more susceptible to infection or a reaction," she explains. "Combine that habit with lip balm and it can be a problem waiting to happen."
What to use instead
Whatever the reason for the problems, however, she says there is a simple solution: products that have just a few ingredients and are free of all fragrances, flavors and colors. She recommends Vaseline and Aquaphor (Drugstore.com, $5) particularly for dry lips. And if your lip product ever stings or burns, she says to stop using it immediately instead of trying to solve the problem by using more of it.

Two days after contending with the powerhouse United States team well into the fourth quarter, Australia turned primarily to its role players to defeat China, 93-68, in a Group A men's basketball prelim. NBA players Patty Mills and Matthew Dellavedova had a muted impact in the game, while Andrew Bogut did not play at all.
With 20 points and nine rebounds, China's Yi Jianlian, formerly of the Milwaukee Bucks, kept his country competitive throughout the first half.
In the final minutes before halftime, an Australian run pushed the lead to double figures, where it would stay for the rest of the game.
A total of five Aussie players scored at least 12 points, led by big man Cameron Bairstow with 17 and Brock Motum with 15. Bairstow also grabbed nine rebounds to lead the team.
The slow start by Australia – they led by just three after the first quarter – can likely be attributed to the residual effects of their battle with Team USA. Poor shot-making and turnovers allowed China to stay in the game.
Mills and Dellevadova both played over 32 high-octane minutes in the previous game, and were unable to contribute in a similar way against China.
Working in Australia's favor was their depth on the bench, a luxury few teams in the Olympic tournament have.
Players like Aron Baynes, Ryan Broekhoff and David Andersen, alongside Bairstow and Motum, still displayed a higher level of talent than the Chinese could produce.
With the victory, Australia guarantees themselves a spot in the elimination rounds. They will close out pool play on August 14 against Venezuela.
China is now winless through four games and has a low chance of advancing to the knockout stage. They can help their chances of survival significantly in their final matchup against one-win Serbia, also in two day's time.

Great dress
I love it!, I got the dress yesterday and I ordered Nov 9th so it shipped fast. I was a little confused on what size to order because of the mix reviews and the chart, I'm 5'2, 116 lbs and I wear 38C bra. I ordered a L size and it fits fine, if I would have ordered a smaller size the chest part wouldn't have fit. The lace is longer than the inside part of the dress but it doesn't fit me as short as on the picture. Overall very happy with this dress. I ordered the black one.
I really like it
I put that this is too large, because it is. But I still found it to be sexy and cute. I probably should not have bought the plus size version. I had ordered the plus size in a large. Because I am new with ordering from lightingsome.com clothing. It actually happened to turn out adorable even though it was to big. I find that it is still even cute enough that if I really wanted to, I could use this as a slip over my swim suit. It is a stretch material, so if someone did not get the right size, you could probably still fit into it perfectly fine. It is really cute.
My husband love it!
Received it in about 3 days.....product is exactly as described....I can't wait to wear it for my husband on his birthday!!
I've always had a hard time finding things that fot properly and this fitting wonderful like it did was a great relief! I'm pleased and my husband is pleased as well! Worth every penny!
Five Stars
Very happy with this (top)
Very happy with this (top). I'm tall so I wear it with straight jeans or black leggings and boots. The color (purple) is beautiful. I will get other colors too.

Because the majority of the country follows Islam, a lot of Algeria's public holidays are religious-based holidays. But every country has its small nuances in celebrations, even if it's celebrated in other countries. Many holidays do not have fixed dates since they are based on moon phases and/or other calendars.
New Years Day: January 1. As with most of the world, they use fireworks to bring in the new year. In many areas of Algeria, they celebrate the new year sometime in the middle of January (between Jan. 12-15, to coincide with the Amazigh [Berber] celebration that begins a new farming year). Many families celebrate by eating chicken and couscous around this time. Businesses are closed during this time.
Mawlid: sometime in February. It's also called Mulud in Algeria. It celebrates the birth of the prophet Muhammad. It's a very festive holiday that involved decorating houses and mosques and eating a lot of special foods. A lot of people will tell stories of the prophet and listen to readings from the Quran at the local mosque. Other people who are able will do service projects and charity within the community. And of course, no celebration is complete until there's fireworks. Because, really, you can't get enough fireworks. Even as an adult, I'm still awed.
Labor Day: May 1. Most businesses, banks, and government offices are closed for labor day.
Ashura: Ashura is the 10th day of the month of Muharram on the Islamic calendar. Because most Algerians are Sunni Muslims, this "marks the day that Moses fasted as a day of gratitude for the liberation of the Israelites." One of the events that happen during Ashura is that families will often visit deceased loved ones in cemeteries as an homage to their ancestors.
Independence Day: July 5. In celebrating Algeria's independence from France in 1962, everyone wears green, the national color. There are a lot of national and local festivities involving music, cultural arts, and food.
Eid ul-Fitr: It marks the end of fasting during the month of Ramadan. It falls on the first full moon following that month, so its date is not fixed. There are special prayers said at this time and many families visit each other at this time. Charity, one of the key principles of the prophet Muhammad, is also encouraged at this time. The consumption of a lot of food is also a traditional festivity during this time.
Anniversary of the Revolution: November 1. This marks the start of the war of independence from France, Nov. 1, 1954. It's celebrated with a lot of national pride celebrations, much like Independence Day with national dishes of stuffed lamb, fruits, couscous or other local delicacies.
Eid ul-Adha: This is one of the major Islamic holidays of the year. At the end of this three-day celebration, it is marked with a pilgrimage to Mecca (in Saudi Arabia), or a hajj. The trip is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Many also celebrate it by sacrificing an animal in commemoration of when Abraham was told my God to sacrifice his son. Some of the meat is then given out as charity to the poor.
Weddings are a huge affair in Algeria. It starts out with days of celebration, eating and singing, and then after the actual ceremony takes place, it's followed by more celebration, sometimes up to another week of festivities. Many marriages are still chosen by the parents in Algeria. There are also special ceremonies and celebrations for other life events, such as births, naming ceremonies, etc.

Kolkata: Filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj, best known for his Shakespearean trilogy 'Maqbool', 'Omkara' and 'Haider', says he is fascinated by stories of human conflict.
In conversation with scientist-turned-filmmaker Bedabrata Pyne at Kolkata Literary Meet, Vishal said, "I always look for a story which could give me good human conflict (drama).
"My films and my subjects make very strong impressions on my cinematic vision. My genre has to be everyman's genre from 'Makdee' to 'Omkara' and 'Haider'.
The director said his actors know the space they have to work in and are familiar with their lines.
Vishal, whose 'Haider' was screened at Busan and Rome film festival last year, praised Irrfan Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Kay Kay Menon and others. "I choosenot to direct my actors. I tell them," he said.
Vishal gave a thumbs up to the Indian tradition of filmmaking, saying films like "Lunchbox" were made from time to time. He said Gulzar has always made a strong impact on his cinematic choices.

Some days, are you feeling plumb out of one-way conversation material? Many caregivers report this curious feeling, when you're glad to be there at an uncommunicative loved one's side yet are at a loss for words after many days like this. Know that you don't need to fill up the silence with empty chatter.
Try these wonderful ways to spend quality time with a loved one who has advanced dementia:
Simply sit in companionable silence, holding hands. Let the language of touch do the talking for you. If your loved one would like it, gently stroke a scented lotion into his or her hand while you sit.
Start humming. The tune doesn't really matter (old hymns, holiday tunes, Beatles hits, nursery songs, or "Happy Birthday" all work). You'll set a comforting tone and will feel more relaxed.
Talk not about everyday odds and ends but about your life narrative. Weave the story of your lives together, starting at the beginning. It's like storytelling, but the characters, details, and plot aren't made up; they're true. This can be deeply satisfying to both talker and listener, whether you perceive a response or not.

We're counting down to Christmas Day with a list of 25 records we have in the shop at Royal Cat Records! Why? Because vinyl rules!
Our next record is one of the greatest Xmas records ever!
A Charlie Brown Christmas
by Vince Guaraldi Trio
(green vinyl)
It's hard to believe but there was a time when this record was not as ubiquitous as it is now. Even ten years ago, we remember reminiscing about the soundtrack to this beloved tv special. It seemed it was the only Christmas music many of our friends could stand, in part because it was rarely played on the radio. That situation has changed, and Vince Guaraldi's music is basically everyone's holiday soundtrack these days. The record became more common in the cd era but it is back in vinyl form with a vengeance today, with a gorgeous green vinyl version being the most plentiful. (We have a few left in the shop currently.)
For a collection of tracks that were cobbled together in a hurry and meant to be seen and heard once and then forgotten, this record has really proven to have staying power. One of the best post-WWII Christmas-themed compositions, for sure.
There was a great article in Pitchfork this week about the history of the record: "the soundtrack, composed by jazz piano impresario Vince Guaraldi along with Fred Marshall on double bass and the great Jerry Granellion drums. "We did the music in a day and a half, two days," Granelli tells me. "That's just how you recorded records back then." These days, it's quite possibly the most ubiquitous and universally lauded holiday album out there, not to mention the gateway for generations of children who would go onto explore the bottomless chasm of the jazz idiom. Yet for the network suits expecting some Burl Ives-type maximalism, Guaraldi's quaint score was deemed too weird and dark, even though the soundtrack—released on the Fantasy label right around the time the special aired on TV—received rave reviews"

Heart of Darkness
The travelers meet Kurtz mistress? Does her presense affter their (or your) understanding of Kurtz? if so, how?
lit 40s
lit 40s
Kurtz had it going on in Europe and the Congo. I think this dichotomy gives us the best understanding of Kurtz. Kurtz had an "intended" in Europe. This was presumably his intended fiancé in Europe. She was idealistic about imperialism and rather naive about what Kurtz had done or the type of man he was. Kurtz's African lover seems to have a strong presence. She is lavished with jewelry displaying her importance through Kurtz. His white "intended" also derives importance through Kurtz but it is much more mild almost impotent. THe African mistress seems to have a much more savage and intense connection with Kurtz. This dichotomy, the wild and the civil, illustrates much of the conflict within Kurtz. It was, in colonial understanding, the light and the dark. Kurtz went tower the dark which seemed to devour him.

Who did it: Directed by Marc Webb. With Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans.
What the film gets right: This reboot pretty much follows the footprints of the original Tobey Maguire film of a decade ago -- it's an origin story, complete with Uncle Ben, a spider-bite, a bittersweet romance and a father figure who becomes a big green villain. What it adds, though, is 3D, Imax, and vastly improved special effects -- as well as fine performances by Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and, as the Lizard, Rhys Ifans.
What the film gets wrong: There are some who will argue over the choice of Gwen over Mary Jane, and mechanically spun webs over organic ones (and personally, I miss J. Jonah Jameson.) But there's nothing here that feels heretical, or even off-base. The only slight disappointment: Sweet as real-life couple Stone and Garfield are together, there's no romantic moment here to quite rival the original film's famous, upside-down kiss.
Skip, rent, go, run: Run.

Staff development programs associated with good academic performance in the Lesotho primary school leaving examination : a study of four primary schools in the Mafeteng district.
Leeto, Mamoqebelo Nozulu.
MetadataShow full item record
The study searches for staff development programs associated with good academic performance in the Lesotho Primary School Leaving Examination. The study was conducted mainly to: • examine the type of programs available in schools to support staff development. The research was conducted by means of questionnaires (Appendix 2) handed out to principals and teachers in four primary schools in the Mafeteng district in Lesotho. The results of the study indicate that there were inadequate staff development programs in schools and that the programs were not well administered. The main recommendations of the study were: • Considering the nature and scope of this study there is need to broaden the scope of further research to include not only few schools in Mafeteng district but also all schools in Lesotho. • Research should not be conducted in primary schools only; but in post primary schools as well where staff development programs may just be as important as they are in the primary schools. More research needs to be carried out in order to investigate the quality of the programs that presently exist in schools, because according to the study it seems the very few that exist do not have much impact on the academic performance in the schools studied.

FRENCHVILLE, Maine — The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says a 20-year-old Frenchville man is facing charges he sold methamphetamine during a police undercover operation.
Police say Michael Fongemie has been the subject of an investigation involving the sale of methamphetamine tablets.
After Fongemie was arrested on Friday, a search found about 200 tablets containing methamphetamine and a loaded .32-caliber revolver. The drugs, believed to have come from out of state, had an estimated street value of $5,000.
The investigation is continuing and more arrests are possible.
Police say Fongemie is free on $20,000 bail. It could not be immediately determined if Fongemie has a lawyer.

By Mark Lamport-Stokes
CHASKA, Minnesota (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy has added motivation playing for Europe captain Darren Clarke at this week's Ryder Cup, having first met his fellow Northern Irishman by chance on his 10th birthday 17 years ago.
While McIlroy readily concedes that he has been lucky to represent his continent under three superb Ryder Cup captains in Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal and Paul McGinley, he says this week at Hazeltine will be extra special.
"I've been very fortunate, everyone in Europe has been very fortunate, to play under some great captains," McIlroy said on Tuesday before heading off for team practice with Englishmen Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan and Spaniard Sergio Garcia.
"McGinley at Gleneagles (Scotland, in 2014) was the best captain that I had ever played under. I had a very special relationship with Paul," he said of of the Irishman.
"I've always wanted the win for the captain, but probably even more so this year just because of Darren and the relationship that we have."
His relationship with Clarke dates back nearly two decades ago to the Valley Course at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland where the young McIlroy had been taken by his father, Gerry, to play golf as a treat on his 10th birthday.
By chance, he ended up practising his chipping very close to Clarke and the two struck up a conversation.
"I remember I got a new wedge, the Cleveland Rusty Wedge," McIlroy, 27, recalled during a news conference at Hazeltine National. "So I was chipping around the chipping green, and that's where Darren was.
"He had been on a great run, was like a top-10 player in the world, and it was my first time to meet him. It was a great birthday for me. I was then part of his Foundation to try and nurture the talent in Ireland.
"My relationship goes back a long way with Darren ... now here we are, in the biggest stage of the game, and I'm able to play under him as a Ryder Cup captain. I'm very much looking forward to that."
A four-times major champion who has represented a triumphant Europe in the past three Ryder Cups, McIlroy relishes his expanding role as one of the team's leaders.
"At Gleneagles last time, I embraced that more and I took more responsibility on," said the world number three, who comes into this week in sizzling form after winning twice in his last three PGA Tour starts.
"I relish that role. I understand it's a big responsibility but I feel like I'm now ready to take that on my shoulders and hopefully lead by example."

My name is Vangelis Batsikostas, I was born in 1983 and I reside in a small town called Trikala in Greece. I am not a professional photographer, my job is mechanical engineer and I shoot solely as hobby – at least for the time being.
Always had a passion for photography in the form of admiring other people's work but only started shooting 5 years ago at the age of 28. Never too late huh?
My passion is mostly landscape/nature and cityscape/architecture/travel photography which is my second passion (travelling). Lately though I have grown to like portraits also. Finally the style that is not for me – not that I dislike it, but I can't do it – is street photography. That's why I didn't give many chances on my first X100 and its 23mm focal length. It just wasn't for me.
Now I shoot with an X-T1 and XF18-135mm3.5-5.6 lens which I acquired half a year ago after using other systems (Nikon/Canon) and deciding in the process that the FUJIFILM X system is ultimately the one that I want to invest on.
Let me first say that I haven't owned a lot of X cameras – only the first X100 and now the X-T1.
Nevertheless and after using Nikon and Canon cameras, to my (hobbyist) eye the X Series camera produce better, more vibrant and saturated colors. The jpegs SOOC are a charm to watch can be used in most cases as is. Especially the last thing is very convenient when you are in social networks (e.x. Instagram) and want to upload your work on the go with the camera's wi-fi to your phone and then upload it. From my experience I couldn't do it with my previous Nikon that had wi-fi because the jpeg SOOC just wasn't good enough to use as is.
The X100 was a revolution (even though a bit quirky) that led to great things like my current X-T1 and the most recent X-Pro2 and X-T2 which probably will be my next camera. What I love on the X-T1 (apart from the obvious image quality) is the full manual control ability. I have never used my camera in Auto or P mode (even as a totally beginner) and this ability to be able and change –ISO and Exposure Compensation mostly – straight from the camera knobs put a big smile to my face.
What I would like to see more in future flagship models is touch screen which is being introduced in X-T20. Kudos for that!

"The report suggests some online health content is neither relevant to teenagers nor easily found by them.

Very good, the employee are friendly , professional and friendly service. I been very happy to have my personal items are safe from burglary.
It is a very secure storage facility. Steve the main mngr, is very knowledgeable and eager to help. Current discounts running. Facility is always clean and has set hours so noone is allowed on the property if staff is not there. That's why I feel my items are safe because no one is allowed to roam around if staff is not there. Highly recommend this business.
Clean, well lit. Easily accessible. No hidden fees. Great friendly staff. They have been so kind and helpful.
The facility is super clean and very responsive to requests. I have been renting from them for several years and highly recommend themThe service is five star for Steve and his staff.
I have been a customer for several months now. I have never had any issues accessing my storage locker, and Steve has be on-site each time. This shows his commitment to his customers. I would highly recommend this storage facility.
Great facility and operators. Been a satisfied renter here since 2002. Convenient location, clean facility, responsive staff, and good monthly rates.
The Redwood City location is very easy to access. The facility is very clean and seems very safe. Steve is very friendly and helpful. Their hour of operation is reasonable.
Clean, well-lit, easily accessible and reasonably priced. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Much better than storage facilities I have used in the past!
Good storage-purposed site (old Bekins building, as opposed to repurposed or a "storage motel"). Thus dry and temperature-controlled.Big building is worth the extra cost.
I have had a storage locker at Security Public Storage for more than 13 years. The staff has always been very courteous, professional and helpful. The facility is always clean and seems very safe. They have maintained it well and made improvements over the years. Also, the hours and location are very convenient.
Self-storage facilities are areas where you can rent lockers, rooms, containers and, sometimes, outdoor spaces on a short-term and long-term basis.
The Self-Storage Association reported the U.S. is home to approximately 48,500 mini-storage facilities. When put together, this space is equal to 2.3 billion square feet. All told, you have plenty of options if you're looking for a storage facility.
When you want to store extra materials, you can typically find a self-storage facility and lease space on a month-to-month basis. Such areas are just the right size to store household items, office supplies and even furniture. Storage facilities are ideal if you have a lot of personal items you want to keep but don't have enough space in your house or apartment.
Items you store are not insured by the facility. Instead, you will need to talk with an insurance representative about covering your items if they are stored off-premise. A few facilities offer insurance, so you'll want to call and ask around to find which option best meets your needs.
Advantages of Self Storage
When you're looking for storage options, do not confuse self storage with full service. You will have limited access to your belongings if you choose the full-service option. Self storage gives you full control over what's in your unit and how you arrange everything, said SpareFoot Blog.
Another advantage of storing your personal items is the flexibility afforded to you. You don't have to wait for anyone to come to your unit and unlock it, nor do you have to receive permission to add items or take them away.
With self-storage facilities, you can put as many items in the unit as you want, provided everything fits and you keep the space organized. If you feel like taking an early morning or evening trip to your storage space, you can do so at your pleasure.
Reasons to Use Self Storage
Whether you're a single individual or have a growing family, self storage is a viable option to store your personal items in a safe, secure location without sacrificing space in your home. Specific reasons why you might also need to lease storage space include:
Even college students can take advantage of self storage, especially if they attend school out of state. Instead of lugging apartment furniture and winter clothes back and forth, they can store everything for the few months they're home and then retrieve them when school starts back up.
When searching for a self-storage facility, you'll first want to look for options close to where you live. The size of the space you plan to rent is also an important factor to consider, and will depend on what you plan to store.
Spaces range from the size of a small closet to a car garage, said Extra Space Storage. The following are common storage sizes, along with examples of what they can hold:
Creating a checklist before leasing storage space will help you make an informed decision about the unit size you need to rent. You don't want to pay for more than you need, while you also don't want too small of a space. You should also consider your future needs, because it is not out of the question you may decide to store more personal items.
Location Affects Price
The size of the storage space will have an effect on the amount you pay. Additionally, where the storage unit is located also has an influence. Expect to pay more in monthly fees if the storage space is in a city where real estate is more expensive. High costs might be unavoidable, but if you look around at various options, you'll eventually find the best price.
Comparing Facilities
If you've found self-storage facilities that are nearby, you'll then want to compare prices from at least three options. After doing so, look up the facilities through the Better Business Bureau. Some areas to keep an eye out for include any complaints against the storage facility and whether insurance policies are offered.
For the average homeowner, self-storage facilities are the most popular option for storing personal items, but other types of storage facilities exist. Most people don't think about the type of storage available until they absolutely need it, and it's best to understand your options ahead of time.
Likewise, various names exist for self-storage facilities. In all, expect to come across five general types of storage facilities.
Indoor Storage
Typically found in large buildings that used to be factories, indoor units require you to go through security to enter. You can expect to find unit sizes ranging from 5 feet by 5 feet to 5 feet by 10 feet.
Outdoor Storage
Outdoor units are not located in a warehouse but in an area where security is still required. Outdoor storage units are typically large, and should only be used for boats, cars, recreational vehicles and tractors. Since units are outside, they are subject to weather conditions, meaning it's not the best idea to store your valuables in them.
Climate Controlled
Climate-controlled storage units are located indoors and have temperature and humidity controls. If you have items that may become damaged by atmospheric conditions, controlling the temperature and humidity is essential.
You will end up paying more for a climate-controlled storage space. However, in the grand scheme of things, a slightly higher cost doesn't compare to the costs associated with losing or replacing valuable or rare items.
Consider climate-controlled self storage if you are housing some of the following items:
Drive-up Units
Outside of city areas, drive-up storage units are some of the most common options. Drive-up units are arranged in long lines and resemble garages, led to by roads so you can easily drive to your specific unit.
Mobile Storage
Realistically, mobile storage is only an option if you're moving or renovating your house. Mobile storage units are not part of an existing facility. Mobile units are typically stationed outside your home after they are delivered by the storage company.
Once you fill up the unit, the company will either hold it at their facility or transport it to your desired destination.
Mobile storage is a viable self-storage option if you plan to move across the country but are worried about space in a moving truck.
The price of using a self-storage facility will vary, with one of biggest factors being where you live. You may find it beneficial to rent storage in a nearby suburb if facilities are too expensive in your city. Also, some facilities offer introductory rates for the first month, and similar deals are worth exploring.
Keep in mind, however, costs will increase depending on the size of unit you're renting and whether or not it's climate controlled.
Seeking Lower Costs
To get the most bang for your buck and avoid breaking the bank, shop around for the best prices and only rent storage space you know you will need. The larger the item, the more space required.
Likewise, only opt for climate-controlled space if the personal items you are storing are susceptible to becoming damaged from humidity and temperature. There is no reason to get an air-conditioned unit if you're locking away old baseball equipment and tools.
When it comes to taking full advantage of your self-storage facility, you have to know what you can and cannot store. Some items are not suitable for storage.
Flammables like gasoline, propane tanks and kerosene, as well as certain types of paint are not allowed to be stored by any means, said Extra Space Storage. Other items, such as perishable food, are not allowed either because of the tendency to attract pests and rodents when the food starts to expire.
Knowing what you can store will help you better organize your storage space and clear out any clutter.
Packing Tips
An art form exists when it comes to packing - you don't want to throw whatever you get your hands on in a box. To be more efficient, fill the boxes with similar items. For example, don't mix glassware with utensils. Always try to fill the box to capacity, and remember, anything left unpacked will become dusty. If you're storing fragile items, consider packing them in a separate box filled with foam peanuts for extra protection.
From there, you can create a label system to help locate specific boxes within the unit. Markers tend to wear out after time. Label makers are a smart, inexpensive option to help you identify a box's contents.
Some items require specific packing quirks. For instance, you should ensure books are packed flat to avoid damaging their spines. You also don't want to put too many books in a single box because it then becomes too heavy to carry.
Glassware and valuable china should all be individually wrapped and placed in reinforced or separate boxes. You can then use the label maker to ensure the word "fragile" is somewhere on the box.
Storing Furniture
Different pieces of furniture require certain methods of storage. Special bags will protect any couches and chairs you're storing. When you bring these items to the unit, be sure to stand them up to maximize space.
Bed frames should ideally be taken apart before being put into a storage unit, while mattresses can be wrapped in a protective seal and stood against a wall. If you're unable to take apart the bed frame, do not store any materials nearby that may taint the color of the bedding.
For smaller tables, try to take them apart. If that's not possible, place a moving blanket on the floor and then place the table on top with its legs facing upward, and then wrap them in a protective material. For chairs, place them upside down on a table also covered in protective material.
Dressers can be placed against the wall and also used as a space to store boxes. Additionally, the drawers can house small fragile items. Just be sure to use stretch wrap to prevent the drawers from opening.
Lamps should be disassembled, wrapped in protective material and placed in boxes specifically designed to store lamps. When it comes to televisions, protect them as much as possible. If you're storing a TV, you'll likely want to rent a climate-controlled storage unit because extreme temperatures may cause some issues with liquid crystal displays.
In general, furniture should be stored with care and covered in protective material whenever possible. Ensure your storage space can hold multiple large furniture sets as well.
Most storage facilities have security measures in place. They are generally accessible for a certain number of hours and have a manager on site, in addition to security cameras. They also require you to submit a special code to enter. You should also make sure the property is adequately lit for visits in the evening.
You will need to have your own lock for your storage unit. Keyless locks, padlocks and disc locks are all viable options, said Moove In Self Storage.
Self-storage units come in many sizes, types and costs. If you're looking to clear out space from your house, consider renting a storage unit to keep your personal items safe. You can store just about anything, from furniture to old vinyl collections and clothes. By choosing the right storage unit, you can store your items in a secure location while gaining back some much needed space in your house.

I was pointed in the direction of a very cute craft at The Polka Dot Chair the other day and thought it would be perfect for gifts for my nieces, nephews and my own kiddos. I thought, this way, they each could display artwork or special notes or something on the fridge and they could take ownership of all their hard work. Kids like to be recognized for stuff like that right? Seemed like such a good idea. Now the beautiful watercolor art that they bring home won't be tarnished by the broken Spongebob magnet remnant.
I recommend you go make some of your own. Cheap, cute and useful. The best kind of craft.
Step one:
Paint the fronts and side of the wood pieces and allow to dry.
Step two:
cover the face of the wood with decoupage medium, cover with a square of scrapbook paper and smooth out the wrinkles.
Step three: Sand the edges (carefully) with fine grit sandpaper and (gently) pull off the excess paper.
Step four:
Sand the sides of the wood shapes to smooth out the edges.
Step five:
Cut out the names or phrases that you would like on the project and apply a think layer or decoupage medium to the entire surface of the shape. Apply the letters and coat them in another layer. Allow to dry.
Step six:
Attach heavy duty magnets to the back with super adhesive such as E-6000. Then embellish the front if you desire. I did add some bling and flowers and buttons to the girl ones, but decided to leave the boy ones alone.
I gave these gifts to my nieces and nephews this afternoon and they were a big hit. It was fun! Of course, the Valentine themed gummy bears that I added to the packages didn't hurt either. :)

Parasols and Bases
Parasols, sometimes known as sun umbrellas, add a touch of elegance to any outdoor living area.
They help to protect you from the sun's harmful rays too! Yes, skin care always needs to be considered- even in this country!
We often stock a good example of a wooden garden parasol, but they sell so quickly it seems we can't make them fast enough! You'd need to be quick!
Our metal garden furniture is extremely popular too and metal garden parasols are lighter and look just as good. Make more of your garden table over this summer! Just wind the crank handle, raise the overhanging parasol, and you are covered!
You just can't beat a beautiful parasol to add to your garden decor. Use your table as an outdoor home office ( As long as you've got reception for your mobile phones!)
Maybe just relax?
Sit and watch nature as a beautiful wild bird gently nibbles what's left of your food preparation. There's nothing more relaxing is there?
For tidy garden storage when the weather changes, consider our ranges of parasol covers. Why not take a look at our storage boxes too?

distinctive feature of educational innovation in the last quarter century is the
increasing use of multimedia and various emerging technologies to package and
deliver learning experiences for audiences ranging from young children to adults.
Since 1975 the Teaching, Learning and Technology Program at the Institute for
Social Research has studied many of these innovations, examining their assumptions
and discovering the conditions necessary to achieve their goals. Studies
have explored how learning is shaped by factors in the product design as well
as by factors outside the product: teaching practices, student assignments, arrangement
of the learning space and classroom interaction patterns. Studies have examined
a wide range of content domains, including social studies, science, writing, adult
literacy, foreign languages, and social values. Research designs range
from small-scale controlled experiments to national sample surveys; measurement
strategies include self-completed surveys, face-to-face interviews, systematic
coding of classroom interaction, and ethnographic field studies.

"We began using Capacity Management in April 2008 shortly after relocating our practice. They stepped right in and helped us tweak our marketing card campaign, and as a result, more new patients are being seen each month. They helped us implement new systems to improve effectiveness in new patient exams, case presentations, scheduling, financial arrangements, recall, collections, internal marketing, and others. They helped in defining goals for the office as well as clarify each staff member's duties, responsibilities, and accountability. Even in this down economy, our office production and collections have steadily increased, something that I am positive would not have happened without their coaching. I am optimistic we will continue to have increasing success as we continue to work with Capacity Management."
- Dr. Shumway - Arizona
"How would you like to double your new patient flow... resulting in tripling your production?! Yep, Greg Jack and Capacity Management's Marketing Program did that for us so quickly we had to expand our facility and our team. More predictable and economical than any other marketing I have done in 30 years of practice. Just do it!"
- Dr. Buzza - California
"In 2002, I used a local consultant to help my practice grow. We implemented some systems but quickly reached a point where she couldn't help me anymore. I took some time off and found Greg Jack. It is unbelievable that my production and collections are increasing in a down economy. Some of my suppliers are telling me that other dentists are seeing declines in the 15% range and are surprised to hear that I am increasing my practice by the same 15% plus. Based on my experience Greg Jack and his group are well worth the investment and will take you to a level that no other management company I have seen can do."
- Dr. Lunn - Colorado
"Greg and his staff are definitely worth the investment. The first month we started using their marketing, our new patient numbers doubled and within 6 months our production also doubled without increasing doctor workload. He streamlined the handling of patients and helped establish a successful practice in a competitive market."
- Dr. Belt - Colorado
"Capacity Management, aptly named. Since beginning our relationship with Greg Jack and his team 5 years ago, my practice rapidly reached Capacity. Have had other consultants in the past but none able to help make it happen like this group. Only wish I had discovered them sooner."
- Dr. Poksay - California
We have been working with Capacity Management, specifically Greg Jack, since 2010. We have been very pleased and satisfied with the advice and the guidance Capacity Management has given us as we have grown and developed our group practice over the last six years. Communication between our team members and our patients has proven to be vital to our success. Capacity Management has shown they are the best at teaching my team the skills necessary to guide our patients to follow through with the dentistry they need and to be happy and proud about it as well.
- Dr. O'Leary - Oregon

Boardwalk Empire's Terence Winter Says Paz Could Be Back
"As long as you're not dead on the show, you can always come back."
Boardwalk Empire's showrunner Terence Winter says Paz de la Huerta could be back on the show down the road. Vulture caught up with Winter at the WGA's East Coast awards ceremony last night, where he told us that Lucy could theoretically reappear — she just won't be a regular next season. "On The Sopranos, too, we had so many people that came and went, sometimes you wouldn't see somebody for an entire season, and they popped back," he said. "As long as you're not dead on the show, you can always come back. Even if you are [dead]! Dreams, flashbacks, anything can happen."
Winter also told us that the third season will definitely include more stories from Cicero and Chicago. "Cicero in [1924] became the headquarters of Al Capone," Winter said, "and [Michael Shannon's] Van Alden has a way of getting himself into interesting situations."

Green, OH:Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) not only makes a big impact on travelers, we make a big impact in the community. In 2008, the airport's total economic impact in the region exceeded $398 million. That figure was determined by a recently completed economic impact report commissioned and conducted by the airport authority. In addition to the economic impact figure, the airport contributes to and helps sustain 2,244 jobs in the region, making it one of the top 25 employers in Summit County.
"Giving back is what we are most proud of at Akron-Canton Airport," said Rick McQueen, president and CEO. "We exist to serve this community with world-class facilities, exceptional customer amenities, jet flights to awesome destinations and affordable fares. In good and bad times, CAK continues to deliver exceptional value to travelers throughout the entire Northeast Ohio region. With the vision and guidance of our board of trustees, we remain committed to giving back- now and for decades to come."
In addition to jobs, the economic impact study also measured sales and excise tax contributions and income generation. Total tax revenues added up to $12 million and payroll exceeded $87 million. Ohio counties included in this study were Stark, Summit, Cuyahoga, Carroll, Portage, Medina, Trumbull, and Mahoning. Airlines, rental car agencies, restaurants, retail shops, airport tenants (inside the building and on the airfield campus), hotels and other businesses around the airport were surveyed. The airport used the generally accepted IMPLAN economic impact model to determine the various impacts. The data is based on capital expenditures and employment levels that are dependent upon or related to the airport. To see a full report of our economic impact, please go to www.akroncantonairport.com/EconomicImpact.

New software for those unsure about undergoing cosmetic surgery could show them results before they get to the operating room.
"I think some people probably decide not to have surgery because they can't decide what 'that' size should be," Dr. Haupt, a cosmetic surgeon in Utah, US, told KUTV.
Haupt is using software that simulates a breast augmentation to show his patients what cosmetic surgery could mean for them. Instead of using pictures of computer models, the software uses images of the actual patient.
"You can look at many pictures out there, but you can't find your body with precise augmentation amount," said Haupt. "This helps to produce a better overall picture."
The image that the patient sees is 3D and manipulated so that patient can see first hand what their body will look like with different breast sizes.
Haupt says that though the actual results are sometimes a little different, the simulation provides comfort and eases fears that women might have about breast augmentation.
In related news, a recent survey has found that one in five women is asking for a breast augmentation this Christmas.
In the UK, breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure, with many women noting that the holiday season and upcoming New Year are incentives for undergoing cosmetic procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers and liposuction to look great.
Earlier this month, data released by the UK provider of Botox noted that sales of the wrinkle-relaxer have boomed over the last year, adding to recent reports that non-surgical cosmetic surgery treatments have remained relatively strong during the economic downturn.

What are Credit Unions?
Credit Unions are financial co-operatives that are community-focused and controlled by their members, offering savings and loans.
The range of products we offer depends on local demand, so it's best to get in touch with your local credit union to find out more or fill in our Contact Us form and we'll get them to contact you.
Our directors are volunteers elected from and by the members.
The income we generate by lending is used to meet our operating expenses, build reserves and pay savers dividends wherever possible.
Each credit union has a 'common bond' which determines who can become a member – so usually people living or working locally will join an area's credit union.
