Pistachio crust for tartlets (or cookies)

Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I adore pistachios. I love almonds. I like to add things I love to tart crusts. So I went from an almond to a pistachio pastry, and I liked it. Use salted pistachios for a undertone similar to the one you´d have by adding salted butter. Prebake the crust before pouring a filling, as it´s quite delicate and would be rather soft otherwise (which I personally like, but perhaps you don´t ) . As a topping, lemon, grapefruit or (blood) orange curd will work nicely here. And a meringue swirl, if you like it extra sweet and want to use up the three leftover whites. —Sabine
Makes: 6 tartlet bases
grams flour
grams ground salted pistachios
egg yolks
grams unsalted butter
grams confectioner´s sugar
tablespoons cold water
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or by hand), working at low to medium speed, mix all the ingredients except water until you obtain a fine crumble, 3-5 min. Then add water 1 tbsp at a time, until the dough comes together. At the end, there should be no more visible butter flakes.
- Shape a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer.
- Line 6 well greased tartlet tins with the pastry, cover each one with a circle of parchment paper and good handful of oven proof weights (marbles, lentils, beans etc).
- Prebake in a preheated oven (180°C/350°F) for a couple of minutes (7-10), until slightly golden.

The Shawshank Redemption
Hope is essential for people to look forward and beyond difficult circumstances. If people do not hope for what they want, they wont be able to visualise what they want and how to achieve it. An example of this is when Andy starts to tunnel through the wall of Shawshank. If he did not hope that he would finally get through the wall he would not have kept on trying for almost twenty years. Although he could only get through a small amount at a time he kept hoping that he would get through the next night. Night after night he kept going because he still had hope that he would eventually get through.
Fear is a dangerous feeling and can limit your ability to achieve your goals. When you fear that you will fail it can stop you from trying to achieve your goals and dreams. For example,

Birth photography is available either bundled with or separate from doula services. But you may also schedule maternity, newborn/family lifestyle portrait sessions, from a half hour to two and half hours done on-location or in your home.
Lifestyle and nutrition coaching is beneficial no matter what stage of life you are in! If you are looking for support in healthy weight loss, feeling more energized and confident, and/or are hoping to permanently adopt healthier habits before pregnancy (partner coaching encouraged) as well as throughout pregnancy and postpartum, then click below to start your journey to wellness!
Bundled Service Packages Available
In early or active labor, call me to meet you (whether you wish that to be at your home or the hospital). During labor, I will assist or advise on comfort measures such as breathing, relaxation, movement/positioning, providing massage, hot or cold packs, beverages, warm baths, showers, guided visualizations, and other requested comforts. I will remain through the birth, and can take photos while you admire and bond with your newborn. I will deliver your personal birth story at our postpartum visit. If service is purchased, professionally edited photo will be delivered within one month of your baby's birth.
A doula birth is a beneficial companion in any birth environment (hospital, home, etc.), for both medicated and nondedicated births, scheduled and unscheduled c-section births, for first-time parents (single, partnered, or LBGTQ), or established parents.
Let's talk! Contact me to find out my availability around your due date. If I am free, we will set up our first meeting (which is free!) to get to know one another and see if we are a good fit. If we've decided to move ahead, 50 percent of the fee will be asked for a down payment to secure on-call dates (one week prior to due date until birth), and contracts drawn up and signed. In my basic package, two prenatal visits, birth support and photography, and one postpartum visit is included in your services. Other services available.
Fill in the form below, and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
I am available by text or email to answer questions throughout your pregnancy
NOTE: A non-refundable retainer fee (50%) is due to secure on-call dates, the rest due after birth. Photography, though included, is secondary to birth support. Other photo sessions (maternity, newborn) may be purchased separately.
Doula is an ancient Greek word meaning 'a woman who serves'. Today, a birth doula is trained and experienced in childbirth. As a labor companion, she supports both the birthing mother and her partner with non-medical services such as emotional support, physical assistance for comfort and progress in labor, ongoing reassurance, and assistance in facilitating or enhancing communication with caregivers.
Benefits of Hiring
a Birth Doula
A woman who has a doula
with her through labor and birth is:
During our postpartum visit 3-5 days after birth, we will talk about your birth experience together, as well as follow up on how breastfeeding and self-care is going for both mother and partner.
Helping you plan a birth experience you feel confident about
During our two-hour (2-4, depending on package) prenatal meetings in your home, we will talk about your desires, hopes, needs, and fears about birth, what roles you expect your partner to play (as well as your partner's comfort level), expectations of me as your doula, help with formulating or reworking a former birth plan from a prior birth, discuss details of birth (setting, caregiver, who will be at the birth, etc.), discuss and practice comfort techniques including reiki healing, and in-depth discussion on the phases and what to expect during labor and birth.
In addition to doula support, I offer packaged services for personalized, one-on-one prenatal nutrition and basic breastfeeding education (e.g., positions and techniques) and coaching.

Casting in Portugal
I can't believe that I've been back from running the casting workshop in Portugal for over a week. This was where we did our casting (except on the evening when we had pizza). The pizza wood ash came in handy as parting powder for our sand moulds; the location was splendid and we had a great time (though I say it myself)
A selection of tools on the table tennis table.
A wire bound mould ready to pour.
We used natural finds including these bits of pine cone, cast in both cuttlefish and oilsand.
and these lobster claws worked well in oilsand casting.
I hope to run this workshop again next year, so do let me know if you are interested.
Workshop preparation continues
I have wire wrapped the small dogs to make earrings and a necklace charm.
Some castings – like shells – will work better with small holes to attach them to wires/chains, so we will drill those.
I haven't cleaned these castings as I want to be able to demonstrate the effect of different casting media.
I had a fun morning showing Kat and Trisha how to sand-cast. I managed not to take pictures, but they both made bowls and shell pieces.
We worked outside as it was a stunning day (still is)
Just popped out for proof!
Anyway it reminded me that I have two further workshops scheduled for this year:
8th August Plantlore and Jewellery as part of Pittenweem Arts Festival
This is a brooch made at an earlier Plantlore workshop
and a week long sand casting workshop in The Algarve 13th to 20th November at Aqua Ventura.
Casting Workshops
I ran a casting workshop on Sunday. In the morning we used cuttlefish and in the afternoon we did oil sand casting. We achieved some good outcomes as well as learning from our mistakes. Rachel is going to send me some pictures, meantime here's one I did earlier.
It whet my appetite for the week long workshop at Aqua Ventura in November (13th-19th) where we'll combine these techniques with local forays to find materials and inspiration. There should be sun, Violetta's great cooking, walking, countryside and seaside, the quinta, new people and enough time to make at least one piece of silver jewellery. Why not check your diaries and see if you can join us?
Plant lore workshop
If you are in Aberdeenshire on Feb 15th, pop in to SSW and make some jewellery
Non stuff festival
Earlier in the year Craft Scotland put out a call for musicians and artists to share their art at the first Non Stuff festival. I went and did 2 workshops in up-cycled jewellery. On the Saturday we repurposed catfood tins and charity shop fabrics;
This is Anne Philbrow's fabric and berry brooch.
on the Sunday we used organic materials. This is Wendy Grubb's work in progress.
I met some lovely people, made candles and woven fish, learned how to make cans into soap dishes and tasted raw chocolate.

Kangxi Cup
Domestic or Continental market
Circa 1700-1720
Reference #: P7225
French, possibly St. Cloud, circa 1720
Applied gold foil and enameled decoration
Height: 2 13/16 inches (7.1 cm.)
Diameter: 3 inches (7.6 cm.)
The present piece is a fascinating example of the high esteem in which Chinese porcelains were held in the West. The white porcelain cup, exported from China, was embellished soon after in Europe with the extravagant gold and enameled applied design. The remarkably quality of Chinese porcelains had long been admired in the Near East and the West, very long before Europeans had the knowledge to make the precious material. As early as the sixteenth century, white Chinese porcelains were being embellished in the West with lavish gold mounts, sometimes also inset with semi-precious stones.1In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Dutch, in particular, were fond of mounting blue and white porcelains with silver and gold mounts, and the fashion quickly spread throughout Europe.
The present cup is quite unusual, as the delicate gold foil is affixed to the porcelain as opposed to simply painted on. Embellished with fine repousse enamels, the light-hearted scene depicts a European gentleman in pursuit of a young maid and another man actually "catching" the lady of his pursuit. On the opposite side, a monkey dressed in court clothes sits on the steps of a tall architectural façade as a cat dressed in an apron approaches on its two hind legs bearing a pyramid of fruit.
The gold foil decoration, embellished with glass-like enamels, is very finely crafted and can also be found on porcelains made at the St. Cloud factory in the early part of the eighteenth century.3The process of gold foil decoration was known in Europe by the end of the seventeenth century and also applied to enamels and glass.4 Some references in the St. Cloud inventories suggest that the gold foil was actually produced and applied there. However, this type of ware is not successively inventoried, which seems unusual for such a rich and expensive product, creating the possibility it was actually added somewhere else. The existence of the gold foil decoration on Chinese wares, such as the present piece, and on other European porcelains, makes it unclear whether the decoration was applied at St. Cloud or at some other Parisian workshop. It is also difficult to ascertain from whence came the inspiration for the gilt foil scenes. The continuous narratives on the present piece and on many of the St. Cloud porcelains, although not Chinese in subject, certainly retain a particular chinoiserie style. The French artisans may have received direct inspiration from Chinese wares that were easily available to them at that time, or they may have also have been influenced by chinoiserie decorated wares made at Meissen. In the early eighteenth century, white Böttger porcelains were decorated with gilt chinoiserie scenes silhouetted against the white porcelain. Additionally, gold decoration executed by Hausmalers (independent enamelers and gilders) on Meissen porcelains could have also influenced the French gold foil designs. Another theory suggests that the famous silversmith and enameler Christoph Konrad Hunger, may have introduced the technique to the French.9Until further evidence surfaces, however, the exact origins of the gold foil decoration will remain obscure.
Regardless of exactly where the work was done, the craftsmanship of the applied decoration on this cup is exceptional. The European artisan was able to transform a simple, white porcelain vessel into a gem-like work of art. The combination of the chinoiserie style with the frivolous European characters is a fascinating testament to the interaction of fashions, tastes and ideology between China and Europe.

Is it really age 3 that this starts? The what? what? why? where? who? what? Jack will ask what and then ask again immediately after I've given him an answer. I don't think he really wants an answer. Example:
"Momma, what's this bat's name?"
"It's Poe."
"The bat's name is Poe."
"You asked what the bat's name is. The bat's name is Poe."
*Momma's head explodes*
Has anyone come up with tricks to distract from the constant querying? It's driving me bonkers!

In conclusion, e-commerce allows for service providers to outstanding their commerce product. This can be generally in line with their parts of operation.

The methods set up may very well help it become hard to safeguard regularity in between the quality and also the volumes of goods. E-commerce systems, for this reason, minimize a firm's exposure to reduction in the event of failure in its growth.

A son's first hero and a daughter's first love—that's what a wonderful gift a great father is to his children. These Father's Day quotes are in honor of my dad who I miss dearly, but whose love and light will forever guide my way.
"I talk about him, not because I'm constantly living in pain. I'm not anymore, but in my world, this is my normal, and I'd rather live honestly and out loud. Joy, love, happiness, and gratefulness are my everyday, but so are death, loss, heartache, and grief." – Scribbles and Crumbs
Every word here is born of love…
Losing my beloved father continues to be one of my most difficult experiences. I yearn for his presence yet I still learn from his wisdom. I keep learning that every tragic incident is an invitation to turn adversity into opportunity.
I keep learning that there's a chance to smile and find humor even in times of sickness and pain… that's something my dad always did.
I keep learning about how love never dies, no matter how much a wound stings."The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity." – Lucius Annaeus Seneca Click To Tweet
My father and my mother were, and are, and always will be my greatest role models, two forces joined as one. They built an amazingly strong marriage, weathering the toughest times together. Through good times and bad, in sickness and in health, they spent decades surpassing milestones and enjoying life to the fullest.
Witnessing my parents' united strength—my mother's unfaltering dedication and my father's impenetrable good spirit—it has become clear to me that we can all make it through any difficulty, together.
The following Father's Day quotes are in honor of my dad, and they're for every person who understands what it's like to part from your first love, your hero, and your role model, even if only temporarily.
In the end, I do think that everything physical is temporary, including despair and every experience of pain. The one thing that does linger? The spirit of love.

text: I went to TSC and bought one of those still air incubators. I am still up in the air as whether I should use my broody to hatch the eggs I have on the way or this over priced piece of styrofoam I have a silkie hen that is brooding on 8 duds. She has been brooding for approximately the last ten days, and to my dismay all the eggs were duds (I have a roo still trying to get the hang of things ). From what most have told me I should have no problems with such a dedicated momma, trading the duds for fertile eggs. My hen is eating and drinking well given her circumstances, so I am not really worried about her keeling over. So if you had these two options, which would you use and why? This is my first time hatching eggs.....so I am full of questions Thanks ~Steph

What are friends?
Although there are social differences between friends in real life and friends on a Minecraft server, this article will focus on the Friend System on Cobalt. To learn about the Friend System, use the command /friends.
What do you get for being friends?
Adding friends will let you know when a friend logs into a Cobalt realm, and will make it so they can instantly teleport to you without asking. You can also right-click a friend to heal them if they have less-than-full health. If friends are nearby while you attack mobs, the damage has a chance of being increased as well! There are a few other secret hidden benefits of adding friends, see if you can find them all!
Adding friends
To request another player to be your friend, use /friend add [player]. They must be online, not blocking you, and able to accept the request a few seconds after you send it. If they accept, they'll be added to your friend list, and you will be added to theirs! Use /friend list to see a list of the current friends you have. Keep in mind that friend lists don't persist through name changes, so if you change your name, ask your friend to remove your old name and add your new one to their list again.
Removing friends
To remove people from your friends list, use /friend remove [player]. The player may be offline, but they must currently be in your /friend list. Please note that this will also remove you from their friend list.
Blocking annoying users
Is a person bothering you? Blocking them will stop all teleport requests and private messages, and will even hide general chat messages. You also are not allowed to block staff members. To begin blocking a player, even if they're offline, use /block [player]. You can see a list of your blocked users with /block list.
Unblocking people
Check your /block list for the full username of the player you want to unblock, then use /unblock [player] to unblock them. You can also use /unblock all to stop blocking everyone. Fun fact: if a person with the username "all" joins Cobalt and you try unblocking them, the server will most likely be very confused whether you're trying to unblock everyone or just remove the dude named "all".

Online stock media outfit Getty Images is in hot water for billing for photos which had been donated for public use.
Documentary photographer Carol Highsmith is suing the outfit for a billion dollars after she discovered that Getty was trying to bill people for 18,000 snaps she had donated to the Library of Congress for public use.
Highsmith's photos which were sold via Getty Images had been available for free via the Library of Congress. Getty has been accused of selling unauthorised licences of the images, not crediting the author, and for also sending threatening warnings and fines to those who had used the pictures without paying for the falsely imposed copyright.
The charge said that the defendants have apparently misappropriated. Highsmith's generous gift to the American people. "Getty is not only unlawfully charging licensing fees…but is falsely and fraudulently holding themselves out as the exclusive copyright owner."
Getty's scheme went tits up when it made the mistake of threatening to sue Highsmith on December 2015 after using the images in website material for her own non-profit organisation
The communication, sent by the License Compliance Services, associated with Getty, charged her with Copyright Infringement and demanded a $120 payment (approx. £90).
Highsmith said that Getty has continued its 'brazen and extortionate' practice of threatening users of her photos, despite her raised complaint. She claims that the stock library is liable for statutory damages of up to $468,875,000, but is seeking $1 billion after previous copyright infringement judgements against Getty allow her to triple the amount.
Getty Images' vice president for communications commented that this was 'the first time Getty Images was made aware of the matter'. She continued that the company is 'looking into these allegations with the aim of addressing these concerns as soon as possible.'

We talked about it for almost two years and now it's finally happened! We would like to formally introduce Kendric Scott Snyder to you all! Thank you so much for the ongoing prayers and support. Every day I have to pinch myself because I can't believe he's finally with us. Isn't he crazy cute??
Many people ask, how long did the process take? With adoption, this seems to be the question that we all obsess over. Numerous people have even told me that they thought about adoption but are too afraid of the waiting. Well, if you've been following my blog for a while, you probably know that we began thinking about adoption two whole years ago. You may be surprised then when I tell you that the process to adopt Kendric was really only EIGHT MONTHS. It wasn't long at all. What took us a long time was actually finding the right route for us.
Here, I want to chart out our journey. This is something I would have loved to read when we were exploring our options, I hope it is helpful for you prospective adoptive folks. No journey is the same but I still think it is helpful to glean from the experience of others.
January 2014: When we first started out on the adoption journey, it began with a LOT of research. I scoured the web for adoption stories, hoping to have a better understanding of what we were in for. We didn't even know where to start. There are sooo many options. Internationally, there are a dozen countries to choose from. Each with different requirements. Then, domestically, it seems that your options are either Fost-to-Adopt or Private Adoption. We knew there was NO WAY we were going to do a private adoption, that's just for "Baby Shoppers," right? (Spoiler Alert: Kendric was adopted through a private adoption) So we crossed that off the list right away and explored other options.
The biggest road block we faced was finding a program that would help us adopt a child younger than Luca who at the time, wasn't even 2 yet. We were holding fast to this stipulation because we had strong feelings about maintaining birth order. This is a concept we had learned about in grad school and also through many adoption advisors. We knew that was something that would be important to us. Luca would remain the eldest. Don't get me wrong, this decision came with much torment and revisiting multiple times throughout our adoption journey. Knowing that there are so many older children who need to be adopted was tearing our hearts apart. But we also just couldn't find peace in our hearts about bringing in an older child at that time. We had many friends who are in the adoption world remind us that we can always adopt older children later, when our young kids are older. They are a lot of work and we have to feel called to that, we can't just do it out of guilt. I am so thankful they gave us permission to do what is best for our family. I know there are cases where families adopt out of birth order and do just fine but we couldn't feel peace about it.
February 2014: So, now we're trying to see what options are available to find a baby. But we want to adopt a baby that really "needs" to be adopted, you know. Not just any old healthy baby that those "baby shoppers" would want. (Spoiler Alert: I'm about to blow the lid off of our whole "baby shopper" assumption so hold tight.) Somewhere in my research, I came across the China Special Needs program. China seemed to have their stuff together and I took comfort in that. To adopt a "healthy" baby however would mean a significant wait. Like 7 years. So the Special Needs program seemed to be a good fit because we'd be adopting a baby who really *needed* to be adopted and it would be a much shorter wait.
May 2014: We found an amazing agency, Chinese Children Adoption International, with supportive staff and a good track record. We were so excited! Caleb bought me Rosetta Stone in Chinese for Mother's Day in hopes that we would learn Mandarin together. The paperwork was intense but we handled it. We began trucking away on our home study.
June-August 2014: Then, when we decided to buy a house, we pushed pause on the process. That pause button was unclicked pretty quickly when we got a call from our agency. They had found a "match." A little boy born on the same day as Luca but a year later. (Note to all you adoptive families: when you get a "match" before your home study is complete, it means the child is being considered as "hard to place.") We didn't realize that at the time and were ecstatic. I mean, we were signed-up through a special needs program so we knew that there would be something going on but what we didn't expect was a tragic disappointment.
The agency gave us 48 hours to review his file. They recommended that we have his medical records reviewed by a cardiologist. We did. In fact, we had it reviewed by multiple medical professionals. We were devastated when we learned that this sweet boy had so many issues with his heart that it was unlikely he would even be alive by the time we could bring him home. Even if we did get him here, he would be removed from a foster home that he seemed to be very happy in and thrown into multiple surgeries and forced to live with a "family" whom he had never met. It seemed cruel to consider doing that just so that we could feel like heroes. We cried so much those 48 hours. It was heart-breaking.
The whole situation made us completely re-think international adoption but we weren't sure what to do. We spoke with the local agency director who was conducting our home study and she said they wouldn't even consider us for their foster-to-adopt program if we wanted a child under 5 years old. Most children in that program are at least 5 before their parents' rights have been terminated. We felt stuck.
September 2014: Out of nowhere, I see a Facebook post that an adoption agency is looking for families for two babies, both of mixed race. I thought that was strange that they wouldn't have families for these babies until something from our adoption training (they're required for your home study) stood out. Non-white babies, specifically babies of African-American descent, aren't chosen for adoption as often as their white counterparts. Then I remembered a news article I had seen back when we first started the process. The news article stated that Europeans often adopt African-American babies, mostly baby boys, from the U.S. because agencies have difficulty finding homes for them here. Suddenly, everything became clear, there are babies in the US who need to be adopted that are not in the Foster Care system. But that isn't even what really sealed the deal for us. When we looked into this agency who has posted about needing families, we discovered a whole side to private adoption that we were oblivious to.
Now is when I show you my ugly. I need to apologize publicly for my judgment of private adoptive parents. I assumed that private adoption was so easy and that it was really just for families who wanted a healthy baby fast. I had NO clue of the brokenness and struggle woven throughout this process. I had no idea that this was going to be a beautiful story of redemption and outreach. Not just for the hurting birth mother or for the unborn child, but for me.
To be continued…

Nearly all metals are crystalline, meaning that their atoms are arranged in neat and orderly stacks, like the piles of oranges or soup cans at the grocery store or the cannonballs at the courthouse square. When you bend a metal, its crystals can deform either by changing the spacings between atoms or by letting those atoms slide past one another as great moving sheets of atoms. When the atoms keep their relative orientations but change their relative spacings, the deformation is called elastic. When the atom sheets slide about and move, the deformation is called plastic.
Metals that bend permanently are experiencing plastic deformation. Their atoms change their relative orientations during the bend and they lose track of where they were. Once plastic deformation has occurred, the metal can't remember how to get back to its original shape and stays bent.
Metals that bend only temporarily and return to their original shape when freed from stress are experiencing elastic deformation. Their sheets of atoms aren't sliding about and they can easily spring back to normal when the stresses go away. Naturally, springs are made from materials that experience only elastic deformation in normal circumstances. Hardened metals such as spring steel are designed and heat-treated so that the atomic sliding processes, known technically as "slip," are inhibited. When you bend them and let go, they bounce back to their original shapes. But if you bend them too far, they either experience plastic deformation or they break.
Non-crystalline materials such as glass also make good springs. But since these amorphous materials have no orderly rows of atoms, they can't experience plastic deformation at all. They behave as wonderful springs right up until you bend them too far. Then, instead of experience plastic deformation and bending permanently, they simply crack in two.
One last detail: there are a few exotic materials that undergo complicated deformations that are neither temporary nor permanent. With changes in temperature, these shape memory materials can recover from plastic deformation and spring back to their original shapes.
Many forms of stainless steel, including those designated as "18-8 stainless," are completely non-magnetic. In contrast to normal steel, which has a microscopic magnetic structure and is easily magnetized by a strong magnetic field, these non-magnetic stainless steels are entirely free of magnetic structure. They cannot be magnetized, even temporarily. In machinery that contains strong permanent magnets, using non-magnetic stainless steel for the mechanical parts avoids undesirable attractions between parts and distortions of the required magnetic fields. While copper, aluminum, or brass could also be used—they are non-magnetic as well—stainless steels are generally much tougher metals.
Yes, crystals grow. They begin as tiny seed crystals when a few atoms or molecules manage to arrange themselves accidentally in an orderly fashion. From that point on, new atoms or molecules that join the seed continue the orderly pattern and the crystal grows. Some crystals grow from solutions that contain more of particular atoms or molecules than those solutions can handle. Other crystals grow from molten materials that are cooling off and beginning to freeze. Still other crystals form from atoms or molecules that are diffusing randomly through solids, liquids, or even gases and encounter the proper crystal on which to stick.
When you stretch or bend a spring, you are displacing atoms within the crystals that make up that spring. Each atom in those crystals moves a tiny bit nearer or farther from its neighbors and it begins to experience tiny forces that would push it back toward its original position if you let go of the spring. When you do let go of the spring, these tiny forces act together to return the spring to its original shape while returning the individual atoms in the crystals back to their original positions. However, if you bend a spring too far, the atoms begin to slide across one another and they can no longer find their way back to their original positions. In that case, the spring has become permanent bent and won't return to its original shape when you let go. Good spring materials are those that can tolerate a substantial amount of stretching or bending without allowing their atoms to slide across one another. Many common metals don't make good springs because this sliding occurs much too easily.
Stainless steel is not inherently sterile but it can be made sterile and its lack of corrosion provides no hidden cavities that might harbor germs. A stainless steel surface can be made relatively flat and it will remain that way indefinitely. In contrast, a rusting steel surface has a complicated surface that is constantly changing. That surface is harder to keep clean than a flat stainless surface. Although stainless steel seems ideal for medical purposes, it is not hypoallergenic. Many people react badly to nickel, which is present it high quantities in surgical stainless. It also turns some people's skin green.
Silver is used in tableware because of its whitish luster and preciousness. It is not really the most practical metal for cutlery. It tarnishes slowly by reacting with sulfur pollutants, which are present in the air in trace amounts. Pure silver is also very soft because it allows slippage to occur easily. To harden tableware, silver is alloyed with about 5% copper. The resulting material is much harder than either of the pure metals. Jewelry silver has even more copper; up to about 20%.
Stainless steel resists corrosion because one of the metals (iron, nickel, and chromium) or one of their oxides is bound to be stable in almost any chemical environment. Corrosion stops at the grain boundaries around the stable materials so that they form a protective layer above the other materials beneath them. — Thanks to David Ingham for this answer
The head of a hammer is made of very tough steel. Depending on the type of hammer, that head may even hardened tool steel. In that case, the head will not yield, except to the most incredible forces. It will instead deform elastically and then return to its original shape. However, if you smack two hardened hammerheads against one another, the forces that they exert on one another may become so great that the heads will shatter. The symptom will probably not be the release of a few tiny splinters but rather large chunks of hard steel flying off in all directions.
One of the most critical measures of a clip-ping device is the maximum tension that it can tolerate without failing. I would expect a tester to measure that failure tension by putting the clipping device in a simulated working environment and exposing it to greater and greater tension until it fails. For example, a chain link would be put between two sturdy hooks and then the hooks would be pulled apart until the chain link broke or deformed permanently. Since tension is a force, it's natural to measure it in newtons or kilo-newtons (1000 newtons). (There are 4.4482 newtons in 1 pound of force.) But what constitutes failure is complicated since anything that is exposed to tension deforms somewhat. However, if the tension is less than a certain threshold, the deformation will be purely elastic—meaning that the device will return to its original shape once the tension is released. But if the tension exceeds that threshold, the deformation will be plastic—meaning that it will be permanent and the device will not return to its original shape once the tension is released. I would expect the rated strength of a clipping device to be a reasonable fraction (probably about 50%) of the tension required to cause plastic de-formation of that device.
A good knife is distinguished both by its cutting edge and the backbone that supports that edge. The ideal knife has a very hard cutting edge (one that never undergoes plastic deformation and thus never becomes dull) and a very tough backbone (one that can absorb an enormous amount of energy before breaking). The backbone can experience plastic deformation when necessary, in order to absorb energy. Cheap steak knives are made of only one steel: a moderately hard and moderately tough material. They gradually dull because of plastic deformation in their edges but they never break because their backbone is flexible. A great knife is made of several steels, which can be formed by proper heat treatment of a single piece of metal: a very hard edge and a very tough backbone. It never gets dull because its cutting edge never yields and it never breaks because it bends before breaking.

Area of Law: Highway Traffic Law
Answer Number: 521
Careless driving, dangerous driving and criminal negligenceRegion: Ontario Answer Number: 521
If the police lay a charge following an accident, it will likely be for careless driving, dangerous driving, or criminal negligence.
Careless driving
The offence of careless driving is committed when a driver drives without reasonable care or attention to other drivers. It is an offence under the Highway Traffic Act. If you have been charged with careless driving, you will be convicted if the facts show that you were driving without proper care and attention. The penalty for careless driving is a fine of not less than $400 and not more than $2,000, a possible six-month jail term (or both a fine and jail term), up-to two years licence suspension, and six demerit points.
If you are charged with careless driving, the prosecutor will often be willing to plea bargain. A plea bargain is where you make a deal with the prosecutor to reduce the charge against you, and in exchange you agree to plead guilty. For example, they might reduce a charge of careless driving to following too closely, changing lanes unsafely, or failing to yield. You should approach the prosecutor to find out whether they are willing to plea bargain.
Dangerous driving
Dangerous driving is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of Canada. Unlike a charge under the Highway Traffic Act, when a person is charged criminally, their photograph and fingerprints are taken and they will have a police file.
Dangerous driving is committed when a driver drives with reckless disregard for public safety and it is punishable to a maximum of five years in prison, depending on whether the prosecutor proceeds summarily or by indictment. The penalty is increased to a maximum penalty of either 10 or 14 years depending on whether the person is found guilty of dangerous driving causing bodily harm or dangerous driving causing death. A person found guilty of dangerous driving will have a criminal record of the conviction and also will lose their drivers license for a period of at least one year in Ontario.
Criminal negligence
Criminal negligence is also an offence under the Criminal Code, and the same procedure of taking photographs and fingerprints applies.
An individual is criminally negligent who, (a) in doing anything, or (b) in omitting to do anything that it is his duty to do, shows wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other persons. For example, the offence of causing bodily harm by criminal negligence while street racing is considered an indictable offence and is punishable by a jail term of up-to 14 years. Criminal negligence causing death while street racing is punishable by a possible life imprisonment.
Again, as this is a criminal offence, a person convicted of criminal negligence will have a criminal record of the conviction and also will lose their drivers license for a period of at least one year in Ontario.
The first time you are convicted of a driving offence under the Criminal Code, including for dangerous driving and criminal negligence, you will receive a one-year licence suspension. Your licence will be suspended for three years if you are convicted of a second Criminal Code offence. If you are convicted of a third offence, you will get a lifetime suspension from driving with the possibility of a reinstatement after 10 years only if certain requirements are fulfilled. You will be suspended from driving for life with no chance of reinstatement If you are convicted for a fourth time. Convictions under the Criminal Code will remain on your driver's record for a minimum of 10 years.
If you are charged with a serious driving offence, you should contact a lawyer for assistance.

Yesterday was super busy working on some repair projects - darn old house. By the time we got done, I was completely out of energy for the day. But things are fixed as much as can be until we get some professional help. So today I decided to share a palette that I bought last month that I'm extremely late to the party on. I purchased it with the last 20% off coupon that Ulta had mailed out (in December) that worked on prestige items. I bought mine from Ulta, but it's also available at Sephora, and the Too Faced site.
Since I am so late to the party on the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar, I'm just going to share my swatches and a few quick thoughts on the palette.

center: Cocoa Chili, Pink Sugar (circled), Puddin'
right: Rum Raisin, Mousse, Caramel
left: Nougat (circled), Truffled, Hot Fudge
center: Blueberry Swirl, Peanut Butter, Frosting
right: Bon Bon, Butter Pecan
As with the original Chocolate Bar palette, the shadows come encased in a metal palette that is embossed like a giant bar of chocolate (that you'd use for s'mores). It smells oh, so sweetly, of chocolate - same as the original. The Semi-Sweet palette has the shadow names printed directly on the palette (the original Chocolate Bar came with a plastic sheet with the names printed). I did notice that while the palette has a magnetic closure, mine isn't quite lined up right so even when the palette is closed, there's a little gap all along the front of the palette except right where the magnet is. I do feel like since this is thinner than the original (my original is the original thick packaging model), it feels a bit cheaper and like the hinge will break at some point.
Packaging aside, I'm loving playing with the Semi-Sweet palette on those currently rare occasions I have time - and a reason - to play with makeup. I do wish that Pink Sugar had more pigment to it since it's basically just pink glitters. I'll need to play around with that and see if a glitter glue or using it wet or something helps that shade out, otherwise it's basically just a topper or, worse-case scenario, a pointless placeholder. There's 7 shades that are either matte or satin-matte in finish. The rest of the shades, excluding Pink Sugar, are what I would consider metallic in finish. This has lots of pretty neutrals that I can see myself getting a lot of use out of. Although I have to admit that the other day when I was putting makeup on, I felt like I'm doing the exact same look time after time (just with different palettes) so I need to play in more colorful palettes for a while. But this could still be the perfect companion palette to all the colors as well as a stand-alone neutral palette.
I enjoy the bulk of my Too Faced palette collection so much that I'm already plotting on when I'll add the brand new Chocolate Bon Bon Palette (released not long ago) and the upcoming Spring release of the Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette.
Did you pick up the Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar? Do you have the original in your makeup stash? Any plans for the new Chocolate Bon Bon or Peanut Butter and Jelly palettes?

When you are learning this skill though, Man, what an effort. Your teacher, whoever they are, will tell you that you need to "feel it." You will push the gear shift forward, into gear, you will put on the gas "just enough" and you will take your foot off the brake (slowly), while you are (slowly) letting off the clutch. Remember-do all this at the same time, and remember do it slowly, but not too slowly . Got that?
Well, of course you don't. So you either screech through the gear box, stall the car out (Wow-look at all those little red lights!) or you jerk ahead, bouncing up and down like a Low rider.
The key is to know just the right point to balance--release of clutch, release of brake and the pushing of gas pedal. What is that point? The catch point, of course.
This is sorta an introduction to Zen to any young adult.
You will know where the catch point is ...when you know .
Finding a significant other is sometimes like this. You describe the person to someone and it seems impossible, incredibly complicated. She/he has to be just so, relate to you and yet be different from you. You imagine that they are out there, but how? where?
Still, when you find them, and it fits, it's effortless and you wonder why you were so worried about it in the first place. Because it's like second nature now, and you don't look down anymore.
Look Mom, no hands!

Bastyr University California Student Government Association
BUC SGA is a non-profit student-run organization that is responsible for the following three areas of student life.
The main purpose of SGA is to ensure that the needs of the students of Bastyr University California are being heard and communicated to the Bastyr University California Administration. SGA works closely with administration members to ensure that issues and suggestions are addressed by the administration in a timely fashion, and to communicate important messages back to the student body. An example of this in practice would be a meeting between the VP of Academic Affairs and the Dean of Students to discuss gaps in education or a dispute between a faculty member and several students. A follow-up plan would then be drawn up, followed-through-on, and then communicated back to the students. Interested students would be empowered to take part in this process.
SGA has chosen to focus on creating collaborative relationships at all levels of leadership and of fostering an attitude of civic agency among students. We believe that BUC operates best when all parts of the community are healthy and engaged. SGA seeks out opportunities for students to assist members of the administration in determining the strategy and direction of the school as a whole. It is our belief that students' professional lives do not begin after they graduate, but as soon as they enter the doors of BUC. We believe that they benefit from being engaged, informed and empowered members of their community, and that the university benefits from this as well.
SGA provides support to student-run clubs and organizations within the university. We do this by providing avenues for funding and by connecting students with relevant stakeholders so that they can accomplish their goals. You can read more about the types of support we provide in the V.P. of Activities section.

There isn't one answer, but rather a combination of different methods that can help build customer loyalty. Many of these facets an how to employ them are included in a book released by the Harvard Business Review which details their importance. Harvard Business Review on Increasing Customer Loyalty.

The U.K.'s Commercial Court has weighed in favor of Mastercard in a dispute brought by a group of U.K. retailers claiming Mastercard's interchange fees restricted competition.
The Commercial Court explored the costs and benefits retailers derive from Mastercard's payment system and found that Mastercard's interchange fees were fair and necessary for the payment system to function, Mastercard said in a Jan. 30 press release. In fact, Mastercard's interchange fees were significantly below the lawful level of interchange that could have been charged to the retailers for benefits received, Mastercard noted in the release.
Mastercard views the decision as a "confirmation of the legitimacy and importance of interchange in our payment system," Mastercard said in the release, which pertains to a case brought in the Commercial Court, the major civil court in England and Wales.
In a separate case, Mastercard earlier this month argued before the U.K.'s Competition Tribunal that a $17 billion class-action lawsuit filed last year that charges Mastercard with infringing on European Union competition law doesn't meet the standards for a class-action suit, according to reports.
Walter Merricks, a U.K. attorney and former U.K. chief financial services ombudsman filed the lawsuit in September seeking compensation for millions of consumers who allegedly overpaid via interchange fees on credit and debit transactions between 1992 and 2008.

"Two million Mohammadu Buharis cannot Change Nigeria says John Zibiri.
I worked and lived in Abuja for 18 years. I ran my own private company from 2001 until 2014.
Two million of the likes of Buhari cannot change Nigeria.
Everything is wrong with Nigeria. The Director won't give you Contract except you pay up front .
The banks won't give you loan except you concede a certain percentage .
The man supervising the contract won't pass the job except you play ball. The clerk won't pass your file for payment except you rob his palm.
The account department won't raise your payment voucher or cheque unless you see them. I can go on and on.
The worst thing is that it has become a norms that nobody sees anything wrong with. If you think otherwise , they begin to think you are sick and not normal. If you try to stand in there way, you put your life at risk. If you get killed there is no justice system in place to seek redress and bring the perpetrators to book.
The police is corrupt , the Judge is same. Nobody cares about anybody. No law and order. I looked from my left to right, everybody is only desperate about one thing "money".
They we will kill anybody and anything that stand between them and money. I am an electrical engineer with MNSE and COREN.
The system don't care about my qualifications.Distribution and transmission jobs are given to alhajis, friends and relatives without any basic skills. I started asking myself, how do I convince my kids that education and hard work is rewarding? When fools, agberos and touts are running the country, fom National Assembly to Presidency.
Is this what my four sons will also go through. In 2014 I decided I have had enough. I decided I was leaving. I immigrated to Australia with my family. Don't put your self in harms way for any reason. the problem of Nigeria is in the hands of Nigerians living in Nigeria.
Try starting a gate house in your village, everybody wants to profiteer from it.
The bricklayer, the carpenter, the mason and even your brother who claim to be supervising on your behalf.
They are corrupt, morally bankrupt and selfish. Everybody there thinks about himself and nobody is thinking about Nigeria .
You don't have to be the one to go there to change anything . Let those under the hammer start the revolution. I beg make we hear word".

text: Tweens Growth & Development Emotional Development and the Tween Years By Jennifer O'Donnell Updated July 20, 2018 Pin Flip Email Print Betsie Van der Meer/Stone/Getty Images More in Tweens Growth & Development Behavior & Emotions Tween Life As children gradually develop into teenagers, their emotional development will be as obvious as their physical development. Watching your child's emotional development take root and grow is exciting, and challenging at the same time. Below are a few changes you can expect to see from your tween as he or she approaches the teenage years and meanders through puberty. Emotional Development and Expression The good news is as children approach the teen years, they develop a better understanding of their feelings, and can better express their feelings to you. When your child was younger, she may have become angry, but was unable to express why. As a tween, she should be able to express why she feels a particular emotion (positive or negative) and that keeps you from having to constantly guess what her mood is or why she's grumpy or extremely happy. Parenting Tip: When dealing with angry tweens, make sure you set limits on how they're allowed to express their feelings. Violent outbursts, physical aggression, and disrespectful behavior should not be tolerated. It's important to teach your tween now how to responsibly manage his or her emotions. Doing so will make the teen years much easier for both of you. Tweens and Moods If there's a downside to the tween years it has to be moody behavior. Emotional development and the tween years aren't easy for tweens or parents. As your child faces increasing pressure at school, socially, and faces confusion and anxiety over puberty, you can expect plenty of mood swings. For girls, mood swings may be sparked by hormonal changes before or during menstruation, rejection from peers, and increased pressures at school. Boys also experience anxiety over school, friendships, girls, and puberty. Mood swings can present themselves quickly and unexpectedly, but they are usually short-lived. Parenting Tip: Moody tweens often need time alone in order to calm down and put things into perspective. If your tween struggles with mood swings, help him find ways to deal with his emotions positively. He could listen to music, read a book, or spend time playing video games. Tweens May Become Self-Conscious A major part of emotional development is self-awareness. As your tween becomes more aware of herself and the world around her she may become self-conscious about her appearance, her clothes, and just about everything else. During the tween years, girls often compare themselves with their peers, and with the images, they see in magazines, on television, and in the movies. Unfortunately, many girls believe that they aren't as talented, pretty, smart, or likable as other girls. Parenting Tip: During the tween years girls need gentle reassurance that there's nothing wrong with them and that they're developing the way they are meant to. Offer your love and support and ask how you can help them deal with issues they might be struggling with. Also, be aware of the signs of eating disorders, as well as the symptoms of depression. Emotional Development and Reasoning As your child grows he or she may show signs of sophisticated reasoning, another major milestone in your child's emotional development. As your child thinks more and more like an adult, it makes communicating with him a little easier, and a little harder. The more your child understands the easier it is to make your point and hopefully, get it across to him. However, tweens are famous for trying to negotiate with their parents, or for finding inconsistencies in their parents' reasoning that they can use against them. Expect your tween to challenge you and your decisions from time to time. Parenting Tip: It's important that you manage your own emotions when your tween is pushing your buttons. Be sure you take a time-out for yourself when you think you might be losing it. Also, it's OK to take the time to think about how you want to respond to your tween when he or she has challenged your authority or presented a side to an issue that you hadn't considered. You could say, "It's clear that this is a complicated matter. I need time to think about this and when I do, we'll talk about it again." Emotional Development and Romantic Feelings Tweens may begin to show a romantic interest in others even as young as age 9. Generally, tweens aren't mature enough to handle dating, but they may talk about dating, who they want to date, and mention classmates who are already dating. Parenting Tip: You don't want to forbid your tween to date, as that will only encourage your child to rebel against you. Allow your tween to mix with members of the opposite sex in groups (as long as they're close in age). It's fine to allow your tween to think about dating, but don't encourage dating until your child is really ready for the experience. Continue Reading
