If you're like most business owners in most states, you probably need Workers' Compensation Insurance as soon as you hire an employee. That's old news, right? But did you know that how you classify your employees plays a major role in the cost of your Workers' Comp policy? (To learn more about what other factors affect your Workers' Comp premium, read our Workers' Comp Insurance Cost Analysis.)
Let's explore these Workers' Comp codes in more detail and discover how proper classification can help save your business money.
Workers' Comp class codes are three or four digit codes created by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, an organization that gathers data and prepares objective Workers' Comp Insurance rates. There are more than 700 codes, and each code…
To illustrate how these codes are used, let's look at an example.
Say you're an interior designer who mostly deals with residential clients. Eventually, you start getting requests from your clients to help with their commercial properties – meaning bigger projects. To expand, you decide to hire an on-staff general contractor and an administrative assistant. Your Workers' Comp policy must cover them both.
When your employees are added to your policy, your assistant admin should get the clerical work code, a code that denotes less work risk and usually has a lower rate attached to it. On the other hand, your contractor's work is almost always considered high-risk and its code assigns a higher rate.
For more on Workers' Comp classification codes, read the article "How Do I Use Workers' Compensation Class Codes?"
To save money, you might consider misclassifying employees to reduce your Workers' Comp premiums, but this misstep will be spotted in an annual premium audit. The audit (sometimes called a "payroll audit") is used to give an accurate Workers' Comp premium for your policy period.
If you accidentally make a classification error, you'll be responsible for paying the outstanding amount you owe once the premium has been recalculated. If you unintentionally misclassify employees, you may end up spending more on premiums than you need to. You could save money upfront by having your insurance agent classify your employees.
Also, be aware that classifying your employees as independent contractors so you don't have to cover them with Workers' Comp is illegal. Depending on where you live, you could face a misdemeanor or felony charge. Plus, you'll have to pay serious fines and penalties for neglecting to carry coverage.
Learn more about the high cost of misclassifying workers in our post "5 Business Insurance Mistakes Costing You Money."
The difference between independent contractors and employees can be confusing. It's important to understand the distinction because…
Independent contractors usually have free rein over the manner in which they complete their work. That means they set their own schedules, except for deadlines. They usually provide their own tools and supplies for the work at hand, and they have the freedom to work for other clients.

The #MusicMindsMatter campaign was announced in July 2017. It is HMUK's campaign to launch a mental health support line and service for those working in music.
During 2016, HMUK experienced a 22% increase in requests for help from musicians across the UK, and in total, the charity spent £1.9 million helping these musicians through direct and indirect financial support.
With just under £1 million committed by HMUK over the next four years, the charity is calling for 'arm in arm' support from the industry and philanthropists.
Once successfully implemented in the UK, the charity has ambitions to roll out the service with global partners in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
While the listener finds solace, too often the creators are left alone to wrestle with their demons.
Mark E Nevin | Songwriter/Artist, Fairground Attraction
To be a professional musician is truly an amazing gift, however it can also be a very solitary existence.
Susan Bullock CBE | Soprano
Anything that can be done to to ameliorate the mental health of working musicians should be encouraged and applauded.
Public Service Broadcasting
It's important everyone in this industry feels supported.
Anja Schneider | DJ and Producer, AFEM Ambassador
To have a place where we can be open about subjects that only musicians can understand is an incredible idea.
Pat Dam Smyth | Musical Artist
The health of our music community is paramount, no matter how big the star.

Serum or plasma? Mass spec metabolomics decides
- Published: Apr 15, 2014
- Author: Steve Down
- Channels: Base Peak
Serum vs. plasma
Metabolomics techniques, in which the global responses of cells or organisms are monitored by observing all of the metabolites present, have been used with some success in clinical, environmental and toxicological studies. In the biomedical area, the tests are often carried out on plasma or serum to detect anomalies that can point to a particular disease or disorder but there has been some confusion between the two fluids. Although they are both derived from blood, they are not equivalent due to the different methods of preparation.
A few studies have compared the metabolomes of serum and plasma with different results and the variations might well derive from the techniques employed. For instance, GC/MS and LC/MS are popular ways to measure large numbers of metabolites but they do not look at the same groups of compounds.
GC/MS focuses on low-molecular-mass metabolites up to about 350 Da that can be confirmed from their retention times and mass spectra. So, organic acids, amino acids, carbohydrates and some phosphorylated metabolites are the types of compounds detected. In contrast, LC/MS focuses on compounds up to about 1500 Da, taking in bile acids, sterols, phospholipids and fatty acids. However, the spectra and retention times are less reproducible, due to differences in column and mass spectrometer designs.
These differences have prompted Chinese researchers to compare the ability of GC/MS and LC/MS to differentiate between rat serum and plasma. Hongmei Lu and colleagues from Central South University, Changsha, wanted to see how successful the techniques were in identifying the differences in the two metabolomes, which would help to direct future studies.
Blood types
Blood was collected from healthy rats and treated with potassium EDTA as an anticoagulant for those samples destined for plasma preparation. After centrifugation, the plasma was retained and stored. For serum, the anticoagulant was omitted to allow fibrin clots to form and the clear serum was collected following centrifugation.
Quality control samples were also prepared by pooling test samples in order to condition the instruments, which helps to gain reproducible measurements. They are also used to estimate drift during the run cycles and to calculate the measurement precision. Saline as blanks, QC samples and real sera or plasma were measured in sequence to monitor and control the experiments.
Before GC/MS, the samples were treated with a silylating reagent to derivative compounds such as fatty acids and alcohols, which would otherwise be insufficiently volatile to pass through the columns. They were run through a GC/MS machine with electron ionisation and spectral searching against the NIST reference library.
The LC/MS samples were not derivatised. They were analysed on a time-of-flight instrument with electrospray ionisation in both positive- and negative-ion modes for greater coverage. After preprocessing the chromatographic and mass spectrometric data, it was submitted to several metabolomics databases to identify the metabolites present.
Mass spec highlights serum and plasma disparities
The GC/MS data delivered a total of 31 endogenous metabolites that were identified, the coefficients of variation of their peak areas being within accepted boundaries for metabolomics studies. The tight clustering of the QC samples in a principal components analysis confirmed the reproducible experimental conditions.
Overall, there were more peaks in serum than in plasma and they tended to be more abundant but these characteristics are too vague to differentiate the two biofluids. Greater success would be achieved using a subset of eight of the identified metabolites which had different abundances (peak areas) in plasma and serum.
They included tryptophan, which was abundant in plasma but absent from serum, and arachidonic acid, which was more abundant in serum, being released during blood coagulation. The other biomarkers were 2-hydroxypropanoic acid, glycine, creatinine, phosphoric acid, galactose and octadecenoic acid.
The reproducibility of the LC/MS measurements was worse than for GC/MS, but was still regarded as acceptable. In this case, a total of 20 metabolites distinguished serum from plasma, 13 detected in positive-ion mode and seven in negative-ion mode.
The former included phenylethylamine but the remainder were all of higher molecular mass above 495 Da and included several phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine, both of which were detectable at both polarities.
So, both GC/MS and LC/MS can be used to discriminate between serum and plasma, although they do it with different sets of metabolites to each other. GC/MS has the better reproducibility but either method would provide satisfactory results.
The data also confirm that there are major differences in the metabolome of the biofluids, which should be taken into account in future research and when comparing experiments from different labs.

Lending and taking security in Turkey: overview
1. What have been the main trends and important developments in the lending market in your jurisdiction in the last 12 months?
The main trends and important developments in the lending market in Turkey in the last 12 months are as follows:
• Measures and macro-prudential policies have been adopted by the government and the Turkish Central Bank to minimise the impact of the volatility and ambiguity of international markets regarding the Turkish economy.
• The amount of the transactions that have been financed in the last 12 months (mostly within the infrastructure sector) and the ticket sizes of Turkish banks have increased due to a lack of interest from multilateral institutions and/or overseas financial institutions.
• There is a strong attempt to solve "bankability" issues for the financing of public-private partnerships (PPP) projects within the healthcare sector.
• The refinancing demands of the hydroelectric power plants that were financed three to four years ago have increased due to the lack of water and seasonal variations.

text: Resembling 19th-century curios or reliquaries, Dario Robleto's handcrafted objects and assemblages are meditations on love, death, mourning, and American history. Robleto amasses macabre objects, then subjects them to alchemical transformation, combining them with minerals or loaded substances—such as bits of trinite glass produced from a nuclear bomb test in 1945—and melts, carves, or grinds them down, finally refashioning them into what appear to be historical objects. Fear and Tenderness in Men / A Color God Never Made (2004-5), a jewelry box-like chest containing an assortment of eccentric items that form a loose narrative around the life of a fictional American soldier, includes a broken mirror, a comb, some dried flowers, a set of teeth, and a pair of military-issued glass eyes. Robleto also works with his trademark vinyl, melting down old records and recasting them as sculptures …Read more

Thiss morning the opening event at M Shed took place. It was sold out with over 100 visitors!
There was a nice and wide programme with speeches and contributions from Alastair Watson (Master of Ceremonies), Lord Mayor of Bristol, Tim Illston (German Honorary Consul in Bristol), Josette Lebrat (French Honorary Consul in Bristol), David Vowles and Steve Howie about their relationship to Bordeaux and Hannover, Valerie Bonnet (Association Bordeaux-Bristol) and Dr. Ann Kennard (Chair of Bristol Hannover Council).
The programme was enriched by different schools from Bristol (Ilminster E-Act Academy Yr 1, Ashton Gate Primary, Colston Girls School and Cotham School) which sang lovely songs in French, recited a poem and sang a song in German and performed a little play in German. The audience was really enthusiastic about these performances from these young people. The youngest of them were just five years old but they gave brilliant performances.
After the official programme everybody was cordially invited to have coffee, juice and cake. Thereby many great chats emerged among all the different visitors, it did not matter whether you are from Hannover, Bristol or Bordeaux.
In conclusion, the event has shown us again the importance of twinning between cities to build international friendships and how to keep them up through the years. In addition, the children revealed us that it is necessary and fun to learn foreign languages to expand one's horizons.
We are looking forward to more exciting events! Check out our event site for more information.

Personocratia just released the last booklet of a series of 10: Society towards… Paradise-on-Earth
"It single-handedly recaps and concludes many years of integration of idessic consciousness by its authors. ''I believe I came on earth to write this booklet!'' I said to myself when it came out. Applied to everyday life, this truth-consciousness can seem absurd at first. This is not at all the case – It is simply avant-gardist. The fact that it is mind-blowing is normal. Soon, it will become evident, because that is where humanity is going! Ghis.
Back cover description:
If you are reading this booklet before the onset of WWIII, the global financial crisis, worldwide famine, or planet-wide cataclysms, consider yourself lucky! Despite external appearances, such predictions are not far-fetched. Most people are not aware that the extinction of humanity is at our doorstep!
The apocalypse has started – and this is exactly what we need!
Indeed the social and planetary upheavals we are currently facing herald the end of the world of illusion. From its ashes will emerge paradise-on-earth. The question, however, is whether or not we wish to take part in the establishment of a new world, a new kingdom, a new being. Today each human being living on Earth is faced with choosing one of three directions. The first leads him towards effortlessness (microchip, basic income, entertainment, alcohol, drugs, sex, and so on). The second brings him to despair and encourages to commit suicide either quickly (intentional) or slowly (illness). As for the third, it calls upon his courage and propels his transformation into an idessic being – the ultimate goal of all terrestrial evolution.
In this booklet, the following topics will be examined:
- The planet versus the Individual
- No, no, no, to War!
- Civil Society and Agenda 21
- Chemtrails and chembombs
- Free Energy and Secret Technologies
- Nibiru, True or False? What to Do?
- 'Demoncracy'
- The End of Statism
- Angels, Demons, Aliens and Zombies
- Mass Mind Control
- The Future of Human Being
- Citizen Death

Anthony Aguilar at Bronycon, 2016
|Web Presences
Alternate Youtube
Anthony Aguilar, also known as ForNoGoodReason or Analysis Daily, is a YouTuber who makes videos about the My Little Pony fandom. His patreon claims he can be "your all access back stage pass"[1], but upon watching his videos it becomes evident that he only reports on petty "drama" within the community, some of which often started by himself. He's gained infamy as a person of interest for his constant need to start drama with everyone and anyone, even if its evident he's incapable of actually succeeding in said drama.
Currently, Anthony operates two series on his main channel: How Not To Brony, a sometimes several hour long video where he comments about random incidents in the community in incredibly scattershot fashion, and "King of Limbo", a podcast where he invites people in the analysis community to discuss topics.
To the casual observer, his videos are also notably poor in overall quality; For a channel whose content is largely audio-based the editing of said audio is rushed and full of noticeable cuts. This is alongside visuals that are often a stretched and compressed collage of pictures that are barely relevant to the discussion at hand with captions and titles that highlight Anthony's inability to use elementary-grade spelling and grammar. Anthony's speech patterns are also noteworthy for being full of awkwardly long pauses in the middle of sentences, random speedups and slowdowns, and inability to keep on topic (often rambling about other subjects or people for minutes on end before getting back on track.)
It should be noted that while the King of Limbo has attracted some people who are famous in and outside of the Brony community, this is likely because he bribes them with several hundred dollars to come on. In one particular video, Anthony offers a member of the "Analysis community", DigiBrony, several hundred dollars just before the holiday season, even mentioning that this sort of money would be vital for him to buy gifts.[2]
He also runs "Analysis Daily"[3], a channel where he claims the goal is to promote users that are lesser known in the community. This is done by voting in the comments system. Though this sounds good on paper it consequently means that the channel defeats its own purpose, with members who are already well known typically getting featured. It is likely that this is Anthony's poor attempt at looking like he actually provides something constructive for the community he's in, rather than being a petty drama-monger er.

Anthony first came to peoples attention as a lolcow during one of /cow/'s Jerry Peet threads, when he made a video attacking the threads posters and calling the thread "hate and misery the likes of which I've never seen before"[4] because people made fun of Jerry Peet for not only having a patreon, but also for his defence of Sarah Nyberg. The response to this video was to be expected; with people making fun of him. However, one post called him a moron which consequently struck a nerve with Anthony, who demanded people come onto his podcast, "The King of Limbo" or else be a "dick tuck". This was rejected, which caused him to start ranting on the /cow/ thread about how he was going to make videos on the people who didn't accept his invitation, which never actually happened.[5].
Two users from the /cow/ thread, "TemplarGamer" and "Judge-Bill" sought to go onto the podcast in the hopes that it would shut him up[6], but upon finishing the recording Anthony snapped at them because Templar was too ill to record it earlier. Anthony was also under the impression that they snitched on him to "doritoes pope", who Anthony claimed was a moderator for /cow/ who didn't want Anthony to expose it as a pedophile den and thus banned him. While he was indeed banned by a /cow/ admin due to thread derailing, everything else in that claim is entirely fictitious.
Also at this time, people began digging into his channel and found his delusional ramblings on his alternate account, Fanon Frenzy. In one video, he claims that he can prove "Social Justice Warriors" do not exist because "illinois SJW meetup" brought up no results on both Yahoo or Google[7]. This, as well as his continued ramblings on the Jerry Peet threads, lead to the creation of the first ForNoGoodReason /cow/ thread.
ForNoGoodReason /cow/ thread
The thread, created on the 12th December 2015[8], quickly found itself to be the centre of attention for both Anthony and his friends. On the 18th December 2015, he and his friends decided to raid the thread in the hopes of derailing all discussion[9]. Besides failing miserably and getting banned within 3 hours, this also lead his friends to accidentally revealing more aspects about Anthony that would've otherwise been unknown, such as his foot fetishism.[10].
Since then, Anthony has tried to spin making an ass of himself into a proud achievement, claiming he is the "cow king".[11]
This failed raid then caused members of Horse News[12], an MLP news and drama site ran by users from 4chans /mlp/ board, to provide even more damning evidence against Anthony by bringing up an incident with his former girlfriend, FallenWish.
FallenWish's scam and Horse News
Fallenwish is a My Little Pony analyst and enrolled Therapist, who was also Anthony's girlfriend for some period of time in 2015. She claimed to have suffered years of abuse from her parents, the breaking point being an incident where her father threw a pepsi can at her spine, which she claims left her unable to move for several days[13]. One of her friends, SharkDiscusses, began a gofundme on June 29th 2015 to "help" fallen get out of her current situation. The campaign gained around $2,259 (almost $3000 in CAD), and was ended just before the start of that years BronyCon. Fallen admits someone else paid for the trip, and she herself spent $200 raised by the campaign. Furthermore, she also admits to engaging in a "Bronycon Orgy" in some fashion[14] after kicking out another member of the community, Minty Root, out of their own hotel room to engage in said orgy.[15]
Shortly afterwards, another gofundme campaign was started, and much like the previous one ended right before another brony convention, this time PonyVille CiderFest. Anthony then implied that the funds raised were again misspent on this convention.
"One of the things that she did, she's like I wanna help out Fallen- or what was it, StarDust and all, and I'm like look, do you know where your next paycheck, or whenever the hell, is gonna come on? Are you working at all? She's like no. And I was like well, then you need to take care of yourself now. You got helped out once, you got a second one, you need to fucking knuckle down and sit on that. […] Be frugal, because no one's gonna help you out a third time. […] Since I've been completely forthcoming here, I need advice. How would you handle this situation? […] I'm aware something is not kosher. […] Look, if she were completely okay, and she ripped off a bunch of people for $4,000 dollars and she would continue to be okay I'd be fine with that. But the problem is that she's gonna put herself in a 'I'm broke and I'm fucked again.'"
— Anthony during a skype call.[16]
After he realised that Horse News planned to report on the suspicious timings of both the fundraisers and her going to conventions in what they believed to be a massive scam, Anthony made threats against its writers, claiming they "let 4 chains chant rape and a girl"[17] and that they "don't have a horse in this race"[18].
This only validated their suspicions, and an article was written exposing FallenWish conning people out of thousands of dollars as well as Anthony's pitiful attempts to cover it up.[19]. They also revealed on the /cow/ thread that at least 30 different accounts that like and comment Anthony's videos are actually alternate accounts and sockpuppets that he uses to make himself look more popular than he actually is.[20]
Unsurprisingly, the article angered Anthony. Since the article came out he's been making false allegations against horse news, and went to great lengths making a "comedy" video that claims the site is a secret organisation of overweight misogynists and communist hispanics. However, anyone fully aware of the situation will likely be under the impression this video exists exclusively as an incredibly petty attack video on the people that exposed his ex.[21]
Anthony Aguilar and Jerry Peet
One of the more baffling aspects of Anthony is his inconsistent love/hate relationship with Jerry Peet. Sometimes he will attack Jerry in his How Not To Brony videos, but at other times he will constantly try to befriend him and praise his content, even though Jerry actively makes it clear he despises Anthony's very existence.
On the 29th June 2016 Jerry made a video that suggested Anthony can't accept conflicting opinions[22]. After this was uploaded, Anthony made a tweet on the 30th asking Jerry if he "wants a piece of me"[23], which resulted in in a video upload on the 1st July[24] where Anthony is on the verge of tears comparing Jerry to the late comedian George Carlin, and thanking Jerry for being on the King of Limbo podcast as well as for defending Fallenwish in the aftermath of the Horse News article.
Jerry was having none of it; after already attacking Anthony on deviantart and calling him a "low grade Keemstar wannabe"[25], on the 11th August he uploaded a video outright attacking Anthony for being "desperate for attention" and "flat out obsessed with me"[26]. Anthony's response was to claim that Jerry's hatred of Anthony is merely a ruse by Jerry, and that he's been trying to troll him all along.[27]
Sometime around September, Anthony contacted Jerry's girlfriend, Lizzy Orchard, pretending to be concerned about one of Jerry's comments. Her response was telling him to never contact or discuss Jerry or her ever again.[28]. Even after Lizzy threatening to take down any videos that dare mention her, Anthony still struggles to get the message and continues to make How Not to Brony videos about Jerry to this day.[29]
In May 2017, Jerry uploaded a glass of water video that featured a picture of Anthony's OC while talking about "nobodies" in the fandom. This insulted Anthony, who in response reacted in a highly irrational manner on numerous social networks[30], including making a 40 minute long response video that Jerry subsequently took down. On May 23rd, 2017, Anthony decided to escalate this drama to ridiculous lengths when Jerry posted on his tumblr that FNGR has been "sending harassing emails to my wife again", supposedly about Anthony telling Lizzy that she's a fake wife and not in a real relationship with Jerry[31]. This resulted in Jerry contacting the police, which Anthony mocked[32]
/cow/ and Kiwifarms leaks
There have been several instances of people defecting from Anthony and revealing his secrets to both /cow/ and the Kiwi Farms. These range from personal anecdotes of his behaviour to leaking entire chatlogs and scripts of his skype account and videos. In one particular instance, this has lead Anthony to privately lash out on innocent people.
The first incident was with one of Anthony's then closest friends, Okizeme. On the 25th march, Okizeme went onto /cow/ to state that they are no longer friends due to an incident involving a video he wanted to copyright strike due to it being leaked by Vida, another associate of FNGR.[33]
Based on some vague evidence, the incident went like this: the leaked video may have involved numerous insults hurled at someone who was just about to be a guest on the King of Limbo cast, so it was fairly obvious why Anthony would not want this leaked. Okizeme called Anthony a hypocrite for letting Vida mirror other potentially controversial videos just fine until this point. Anthony started getting aggressive at Okizeme, calling him a "dumb faggot nigger" and kicking him out, only to use a friend to talk Okizeme out of what he claimed was "crazyness". Anthony then started rambling to Okizeme about how 8chan is a pedophile network. Another user who was highly respected in the fandom by the name of ANYPony also called Anthony out for attacking Fallenwish, which he responded by trying to shift blame on Okizeme because he was "Jerry peets number one stalker", which in turn made Okizeme give up on continuing to argue with Anthony.
On the 11th July 2016, a user by the name of The Janitor came onto FNGR's Kiwi Farms thread[34]. He revealed Anthony offered to help him with entering the brony analysis community, but only if he read out a script for him dedicated to attacking lesser known analysts in the community. Anthony kicked him out after he refused to use it, so he posted it for the thread to read instead.[35]
Around this time, another user by the name of chiKey started to leak chat logs from Anthony's skype group, The Rift Cafe[36][37][38]. These leaks have apparently left Anthony very paranoid, and he's already kicked off one person who wasn't actually involved with the leaks and accused them of being a "filthy gay heretic" and "8 chan scum"[39].
On the 18th April 2017, MovingOnUp joined the farms to provide his side of the story[40]. He was in Anthony's Skype prior to the Fallenwish saga, with Anthony being one of the main reasons he left the MLP community.
He claimed that Anthony is very insecure and that he exploited his security job to be lazy. Furthermore, MovingOnUp says that Anthony akins himself to Petyr Baelish from Game of Thrones, playing multiple sides in the hopes of personal gain for his youtube career. MovingOnUp also suggested that he enjoys cuckoldry, especially in regards to his girlfriend prior to Fallenwish by the name of Nikkers. Much like Fallen, she very publicly cheated on Anthony after raising money to get out of a tough life situation.
Anthony Aguilar and Mister Metokur
Anthony found himself the subject of total humiliation in September 2016 following an attempted fight with Mister Metokur (also known as Jim and Internet Aristocrat). After a 6 month hiatus, Metokur premiered a brand new series called "Deviant's", focused on amusing and weird deviantart fetish communities.[41]
Anthony was very unhappy at the video making fun of inflation fetishes, and commented that he and Jim have "business later". Jim tweeted the comment and made fun of it[42], and after being told of Anthony's prior antics on /cow/ expressed his pleasure at the ensuing storm[43]. That same day, Anthony made a response video where his attempts to attack Jim end up revealing even more embarrassing information about himself, such as dating a furry in his youth and demonstrating clear signs of being autistic as he struggles to understand jokes.[44]
At the end of the video, Anthony offers MisterMetokur to "slap the shit out of me".[44] Mistermetokur happily obliged and announced that same day he would stream a Metocast with him and Anthony in the next week. However, issues began cropping up when Anthony demanded to know the time that he clearly arranged with Jim[45], before eventually deciding to call it off entirely.[46]
Shortly afterwards, Anthony attempted to make another offer with Jim; if Capper General of Horse News goes onto Anthonys podcast, then he would come onto the MetoCast as promised[47]. He even made a video that suggested Jim is the one copping out of the MetoCast rather than himself[48]. This offer was laughed at by both Jim and by Horse News, with MisterMetokur deciding that he would instead make a video on Anthony. This, much like deviants, didn't go down well with Anthony. He released a video on the 16th of September where he claims he isn't offended by the prospect of a video criticising or making fun of him, and that the video in question would probably be "boring".[49]. Later that night, MisterMetokur uploaded his video, which not only discussed the MetoCast affair but also the FallenWish scandal.[50]. Since the video was uploaded Anthony seems to dodge the topic of Jim and the metokast whenever its mentioned.

please forgive me for (insert what you want to be forgiven for). I know that repentance is a two step process. Not only do I need to ask for your forgiveness, but I need to turn from my sin. I want to live a life that gives you glory Lord and not glory to myself. Will you help me to keep away from my sinful behavior? Thank you for showing me your grace over and over again. I know I do not deserve it, but I am amazed at how you show mercy to me time and time again.

If Stan and Josh, Ivan and the board have five minutes, reading Richard Williams article in yesterday's Guardian would time well spent in understanding why they are deeply unpopular. The final paragraph is a killer:
"What fans really want from an owner, whatever his or her background, is the sense of an authentic personal commitment. The vacuum left by its absence tends to be filled, as can been seen in the season's final stages, by a cynicism that stinks the place out."
The weekend isn't giving Arsène any respite from managerial shenanigans. There some spin against him surfacing, with claims that Wenger is blocking the board's desire to have Thierry Henry back in the fold. Now, I am naturally inclined to be cynical about such notions. After all, what better way to paint the board into a positive light by 'leaking' that you want a club legend to return?
And what better way to defend yourselves against the inevitable criticism than with the retort, "We tried but Arsène didn't want it"? The problem is that it makes the board look weak if Wenger is blocking change. If they genuinely want someone at the club, the manager is told that Henry is joining and if you don't like it, don't let the door hit on your arse on the way out.
Except I, not for one minute, don't believe the story. It is too obviously trying to make Junior – for this is Josh's idea – look good in supporters eyes. Even for a board as useless as ours, this saga would be plumbing new depths of incompetence.
Left To Blind Destruction
Henry himself casts doubt on that solution. Writing in The Scum, he questions the state of the club from a player's perspective. And not just any players, the best in the world:
"It kills me to say this as an Arsenal fan, but my old club are not an attractive destination any more for the top, top players.
Why would the leading players who can have a real impact in the Premier League and improve that Arsenal team come to the Emirates?"
He rules out the Champions League as a motivator in choosing clubs, pointing to Kante's move to Chelsea and Ibrahimovic joining United. For the latter, it was a chance to join one of the biggest clubs in the world and a massive payday.
For the former, he was sold on the vision. Don't forget, Chelsea were in turmoil last season with Conte just arriving to a squad in disarray. So, please, tell me again how changing the manager will deter players from joining.
"But competition for trophies is the key. If you are a director of football and you work for Arsenal, how do you attract a big player?
I'm not suggesting people aren't doing their jobs at Arsenal — just that selling the club has become increasingly difficult over the last two or three years.
I don't see anything to attract the big players.
That's a damning indictment of the way the club is perceived, if true. While it just Henry's opinion, it also cannot be ignored as a grotesque truth about where we are now.
We Would Go On As If Nothing Is Wrong
Despite his belief that he can solve the problems, Arsène has nothing to persuade players to join. Respected as he is, Arsène, if Henry is correct, is no longer a selling point. Certainly he can't answer the question on how the team will improve otherwise he would be doing that now.
We are in the same place as twenty-one years ago when he arrived. Now though, Wenger is not the breath of fresh air to revitalise a stagnating club; quite the opposite.
Now, we know Henry is a pundit and needs to stoke the fires with controversy. Applying the same cynicism to the Kroenke spin, it's easy to see him as picking the scent of dissent and running with it. And I agree, there is an element of that. However, the questions he is asking are the same as those running through everyone's minds. The difference is that he does have a unique perspective on it all.
The only remaining question is whether he'll get the chance to rectify the matter at some point in the future.
Finally, here's something I prepared a little earlier for tomorrow night's game at Middlesbrough.
'til Tomorrow.

Seattle, WA
Known for their coffee, Seattle is becoming a popular destination for millennials to start their life. Those who aren't able to afford San Francisco might choose this rainy city instead to make their life. The home of Starbucks and Amazon has become a mecca for millennials. While it is less expensive than San Francisco or Los Angeles, Seattle is still somewhat high in their cost of living unless you live right outside of city in a suburb or surrounding city.

When the Microsoft network security team needed to scale its data store to 90 terabytes, while increasing already strained data loading beyond 1 terabyte a day and improving query performance, it turned to Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse. Parallel Data Warehouse enables large tables to be spread across multiple physical nodes. Each node has dedicated CPU, memory, and storage, and each runs its own instance of SQL Server. The resulting computing power enables the team to process up to 4 terabytes of new information per day into its data warehouse. The team has seen a twentyfold improvement in query performance as a result.

Pieter Van Eenoge's illustrations have recently been selected as award-winning by a number of illustration competition juries. In 2012, he was awarded the prestigious Boekenpluim prize, something equivalent to a 'red ribbon Caldecott', for excellence in a Flemish children's book.
His poster for the Boekenbeurs 2011 Book Fair received an Award of Excellence from Communication Arts and appeared in their 2012 annual.
Pieter's Boekenpluim prize was for De dokter en het leger van Davy (or The Doctor and Davy's Army), written by Edward van de Vendel and published by de Eenhoorn. Each year the coveted prize is awarded to two books that feature exceptional illustrations.
His piece for the Cultural Centre De Spil's newsletter received a merit award in the 'Editorial' category in the 3x3 Pro Show No.9.
Pieter had a personal series of illustrations and an editorial illustration chosen as winners by the 3x3 Pro Show No.8. His personal series, Phantom of Wing, which included the image below, received a gold medal in the 'Gallery' category, while his piece, Autumn Leaves, received a merit award in the 'Editorial' category.

Openstudio Book
Openstudio is both a name and a concept. As the identity for a design practice, it embraces complementary professional disciplines, from architecture and interiors to furniture and landscape. As a studio, it is an 'open house' where architects and engineers, painters and poets, sculptors and writers can come together to work on a project, or simply to talk and exchange ideas. The result is a working environment in which design solutions are considered from multiple perspectives, and in which open-mindedness is matched by intellectual rigour. This book allows a glimpse into Openstudio's creative world. It offers snapshots from a portfolio that extends from houses and apartments to proposals for monuments and urban design. The content is structured around four themes – light, detail, texture and landscape – each of which informs this body of work.
Openstudio have launched a new book published by Circa Press. Available to buy at the RIBA & AA bookshops. Alternatively, Email us for a copy.

Kieran Foran will make his Parramatta Eels return in Monday's NRL encounter with Melbourne Storm.
Kieran Foran will make his Parramatta Eels return in Monday's NRL encounter with Melbourne Storm.
Eels captain Foran was granted indefinite leave last month in order to deal with personal problems and has been receiving medical treatment.
Parramatta chief executive John Boulous said Foran, who spent three weeks in a Brisbane rehabilitation clinic, was under no pressure to return to NRL action.
The skipper is now set to feature against the Storm at Pirtek Stadium, where the Eels will look to respond to their capitulation against South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Centre Michael Jennings said on Friday: "He trained with us today and so far it's good. He's pretty positive and he trained well. It's good to have him back.
"He's the ultimate professional so he would've been looking after himself away from training. He didn't look out of beat when he was on the paddock."
Eels coach Brad Arthur told Sky Sports Radio's Big Sports Breakfast: "His doctor thinks that what is best for him now is to get back into playing football.
"He's still going to need some ongoing treatment. He will go back on Tuesday and then we'll go into the Newcastle game and then we've got a bye. So that gives him a fair bit of time to continue his treatment."

We saw it. Now you can see it. Today, Ubisoft put out a video of Michel Ancel playing the Beyond Good & Evil 2 tech demo shown behind closed doors at E3. Look for radical zooming from planet surface to space, and planet-spanning flight. For more about what the game is supposed to be, read our interview with Ancel.
At E3 2017, Black Characters' Hair Looks Better Than Ever
Games tend to have trouble depicting black hair, but this year's E3 displayed refreshing palette of kinky, coily, textured hair. Here's a breakdown.
What Beyond Good & Evil 2 Is Now, And What Its Creators Dream It Can Be
"This is day zero of Beyond Good & Evil 2," Michel Ancel told me on Monday. As he spoke, he was playing an early version of a game people have been expecting for nearly a decade, but that he says has only actually been in development for a few years.
Here's A Nice E3 Moment
I think it's safe to say that Michel Ancel has been through some shit when it comes to Beyond Good & Evil.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 Lives, And It's A Prequel
In a world where we can actually play Duke Nukem Forever and The Last Guardian, we will soon be able to play the Beyond Good & Evil follow-up nearly a decade in the making. It's safe to say "soon," right? Ubisoft just ended their E3 press conference with a trailer for it.
May God Have Mercy On Beyond Good & Evil 2
Beyond Good & Evil 2 was first announced in May 2008. That was over eight years ago. Now, today, in October 2016, series creator Michel Ancel says the game is "in pre-production". OK.
Things Are Looking Grim For Beyond Good & Evil 2
Shenmue III? Check. Final Fantasy VII remake? Check. The Last Guardian? Check. Beyond Good & Evil 2? Well, it's complicated, but it's not sounding good.
Another Frustrating Beyond Good & Evil 2 Tease
Well, the weather's finally starting to get warm. Flowers are starting to bloom. Cherry blossoms are exploding from tree branches. Must be time for another heart-breaking glimpse of the long-brewing follow-up to Beyond Good & Evil.
Sony Asked Ubisoft What They Wanted From PS4. Ubisoft Said Make It More Like PCs And Phones.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot likes the PlayStation 4. Otherwise he wouldn't have showed up at Sony's big PlayStation 4 event last week, right?
Fans Waiting for the Beyond Good & Evil Sequel Just Have to Keep Waiting, Ubisoft Head Confirms
Fans of Beyond Good & Evil have been waiting a very long time for a sequel.
A Few More Beyond Good & Evil 2 Screenshots
Over the weekend, some supposed new screenshots of Beyond Good & Evil 2 - or at least BG&E2's tech demo - look to have turned up. Interestingly, while they share the same setting as the last screens (and the tech demo video), these actually have star Jade front and centre, and show sequences not depicted in prior…
Finally, A Good Look at Beyond Good & Evil 2's Detailed, Dirty Environments
It's been a virtual flood of leaks and glimpses this week for Beyond Good & Evil 2. There've been comments about tech requirements and a screenshot of the sequel's gameworld. Now, a video flythrough of the environmental design has popped up.
Looks Like We've Got Some More Screens from Beyond Good & Evil 2
Allgamesbeta has posted three more shots from Beyond Good & Evil 2, which match the look of the image that turned up yesterday.
This Sure Looks Like an In-Game Screenshot from Beyond Good & Evil 2
We've already heard that Michel Ancel's Beyond Good & Evil 2 is in development, though it sounds like it might have to wait until the next generation of consoles for release.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 Probably Will Have to Wait for the Next Generation of Consoles, Alors
I speak a little bit of French. Just enough, in fact, to get the gist of what Rayman creator Michel Ancel is saying in this interview. The Ubisoft developer confirms work continues on the long-awaited sequel to cult favorite Beyond Good & Evil, but also says that it'll need better tech than is currently available.
There's New Beyond Good & Evil 2 Footage (Though It Sucks)
Over the weekend, Beyond Good & Evil creator Michel Ancel gave a talk at the Montpellier in Game conference in France. As a treat, he showed off some concept art and footage from the game's sequel, the long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 Won't be Out On PS3 or Xbox 360
The long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still being worked on. And because there's a lot more development to go, the game sadly won't be making this generation of consoles.
Ubisoft Assures Us Beyond Good & Evil 2 is not Canceled
Ubisoft's recent financial report indicated that, following a fiscal year loss of $74 million, a number of projects were being scrapped as part of an internal reorganization. Since we've heard very little from Beyond Good & Evil 2in the three years since its teaser trailer was shown, some thought it finally meant…
Ubisoft: Beyond Good & Evil 2 Must Be Perfect
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot assured me today that work continues and has never stopped on the highly anticipated sequel to 2003's Beyond Good & Evil.
Beyond Good & Evil 2, I Am Alive Still In Development
Two games were notable by their absence yesterday from Ubisoft's fiscal report. Those games were I Am Alive and Beyond Good & Evil 2. So what's the deal, Ubisoft?

Because Special Education benefits in California end when a child turns 22 years old, Heidi Cartan was searching for a replacement program that would suit the needs of her young adult son, Noah. Nothing she found was quite right, until she visited the L'Arche Farm and Garden program in Washington State. She knew immediately that this program was perfect. L'Arche Farm & Gardens strives "to offer a safe and welcoming environment that provides meaningful farm and garden work to persons with developmental disabilities. The Farm is a collaborative setting in which people with a diversity of gifts and abilities work toward common goals." Since there was nothing comparable here, Cartan quickly realized that she would need to create a similar farm program herself. She would need to do the demanding and time-consuming work of organizing the program, find funding, locate other families to participate, find and purchase or lease an appropriate site, navigate the minefield of government regulations. The challenges of such a task must have felt overwhelming and at times, impossible.
Cartan is not a person who gives up easily, however. She located nine other families, all with children with disabilities, who wanted to participate. They pooled their resources, incorporated as a 501c non-profit in late 2014, and in August of 2015 closed escrow on a beautiful level 6 3/4 acre organic farm on Golf Club Drive in Santa Cruz. (Former owner Cathy Puccinelli was happy to pass along her family's land to be safe-guarded and farmed by this group.) The farm was named Costanoa Commons with the mission "to create an organic farm where people with disabilities and others grow healthy food and build community." Cartan envisions it as a farm where everyone is welcome, a place that creates a partnership with the greater community.
Now in its second year of operation, the farm is abuzz with activity, much of it by community volunteers. Some goals already accomplished include deer fencing a large area, underground installation of irrigation water supply lines by Cartan's husband Philippe Habib (the farm has historic water rights from Pogonip Creek which runs through the property), erection of the framework for a 20-foot by 108-foot greenhouse that is fully accessible for those with mobility challenges, completion of another accessible area with raised beds (whimsically decorated by students in the Happy Heart Studio summer camp), much non-native plant removal, the building of a chick hatchery, a chicken tractor plus a predator-proof coop (now inhabited by egg-laying hens), obtaining a free farm stand for future sales, and the creation of a number of 100-foot beds for vegetable and flower production, including the preparation and planting of three 100-foot strawberry beds, and a large area planted to raspberries.
That so much could be accomplished in such a short time is a tribute to the organizational skills of Cartan and her enthusiastic Board of Directors, plus the hard work of many groups and community members who have contributed cash, materials and labor. Peter Shaw's Indoor Production Class in the horticulture department at Cabrillo College has helped start an aquaponics program in the big greenhouse; it and other supplies were donated by a nursery in Napa County. Composting workshops have been led by Otis Johnson. Janice Kuch, Master Gardener trainee, is planting hedgerows. Diane Mahan has led workshops on planting and care of fruit trees, and has planted a number of young trees. Johnny's Selected Seeds in Maine has donated seeds. A group of undergraduate students from Stanford University's Faith in Action program propagated seeds. Angela Welte designed the raised bed plan and did other creative work as part of her horticultural therapy certificate program. Students in the summer camp program at Happy Heart Studio painted in bright cheerful colors those raised beds. Pajaro Valley Irrigation designed and supplied materials for the irrigation system. Many of these projects are on-going with the same volunteers. And Chris Roberts, a graduate of the Homeless Garden Project, is employed as the enthusiastic Vegetable Production Manager. In keeping with the environmentally-friendly goals of Costanoa, he uses a low-till method, employing hand tools for bed preparation and weed control, and incorporating compost and rabbit manure to increase fertility and soil health. He is responsible for seeding, tending the soil and the plants as they mature and then harvesting the crops. He will be using a market garden approach, farming in beds that are 32- to 36-inches wide and 100-feet long. Organically grown herbs, vegetables and flowers will fill the beds, including a big planting of dry-farmed tomatoes.
Cartan eagerly listed some of the farm's goals for 2018 and beyond. A priority will be installation of a pathway of permeable materials that will circle the farm and insure accessibility for everyone, including those in wheelchairs. (This pathway will be wide enough for two people to travel side-by-side so that the mobility impaired and a companion can move about the farm together.) The acquisition of dwarf Nigerian goats is planned; the goats will provide an opportunity for lessons in animal husbandry but will also contribute manure to sustain the crops. A large area will be planted to pumpkins and winter squash (Delicata and Butternut) and another area to popcorn. The work on restoring the riparian zone and on creating wildlife habitat will continue. A regular newsletter will be published and the Facebook page will be added to. A portion of the big greenhouse (about 30 percent) will be used for propagating seedlings. A farm stand will be opened (permit already received), providing employment for one or more of the disadvantaged young adults, and supplying produce and flowers to the neighborhood. (Cartan knows that volunteers could man the farm stand at less cost but prefers to create a job manageable by a person with impairments. She sees the job as "not an efficiency but as an opportunity.") A CSA will be inaugurated, with the first 25 customers joining on a trial basis; weekly boxes will include fresh eggs as well as vegetables, fruit and flowers. (If interested, email firstname.lastname@example.com.) Bioswales will be installed with the guidance of Fall Creek Engineering. The drip irrigation system will be expanded as more beds are created, using drip materials that last for many seasons rather than those that are discarded after one use. Barbeques for volunteers and workshops for the Santa Cruz area community are also planned. The wider community will also be invited to participate in two work days per year, during which all will have a chance to contribute labor and expertise, and get to know the farm.
Two local service-oriented organizations have established a special on-going relationship with Costanoa Commons. The Monterey Bay Master Gardeners and the Monterey Bay Dahlia Society plan free workshops at the Farm during the growing season, covering garden-related topics and welcoming the wider community. They will also be planting a 100-foot row of dahlias with many of the plants donated by Corralitos Gardens. Some of the dahlias will be known developed plants but a portion of the bed will be a test garden for untried seedlings. The flowers produced will be sold at the farm stand to benefit Costanoa Commons Farm. Gloria Nieto (firstname.lastname@example.com), who belongs to both organizations, is the contact person for these projects.
Heidi Cartan warmly invites you to get involved with Costanoa Commons, in whatever capacity appeals to you. Abundant opportunities for volunteering or teaching await and donations are of course welcome. Join the CSA or buy from the farm stand. At the very least, come out to enjoy the beautiful farm with other members of our community. For information, visit costanoacommons.org.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — She admits she hasn't always made the best choices, though why is something she has never figured out.
"I don't know why this happened to me," Paula Bogacz-Hetzel says of a life that would kill the spirit of lesser women. "I did something wrong."
Not that it matters so much anymore. At 66, Bogacz-Hetzel is more at peace with her choices and what remains of her life than she has been in years. After struggling with homelessness, hurt, mistakes and ill health, she is finally feeling at home with herself.
Because she is home. Read more at the Albuquerque Journal.

Just When You Thought the Nazi York City Food Nazis Couldn't Get Any Worse• Lew Rockwell blog
Back in September I blogged on the subject of how Nazi York City cigar stores that have smoking areas for their customers can no longer serve coffee to them. (You can read that post here.)Today I stopped by a cigar store that I used to frequent from 2001 to 2004 before I gave up smoking. Since I recently started smoking an occasional cigar now and then, I wanted to drop by to smoke there and catch up on old times.

For a relatively small nation, Finland has always proved herself capable of punching well above her weight.
From giving the Soviet Union more than a bloodied nose at the outset of World War Two to being the home of what was - until the dominance of Apple and Samsung - the most successful mobile phone manufacturer ever, this small Nordic country has exerted an influence on the world which is somewhat at odds with her physical proportions.
Some say that this is due to the harsh winters experienced up there resulting in the population being imbued with a grit, determination and resourcefulness required to survive in such inclement and challenging conditions. Others say that it's because they're fuelled by industrial strength Vodka and indeed there is certainly convincing evidence to support both theories..
But Finland's relation to fuel of a different variety - the distillates used to power racing cars rather than the hardy souls who reside there - has played its own part in another area in which Finland has exerted such a seemingly disproportionate influence, namely that of motor sport.
Indeed, if asked to name a rally or Formula One driver of the last few decades who has partied hard yet driven even harder I can pretty much guarantee that at least 2 or 3 of the names proferred will be Finnish.
Stagger forward then Kimi Räikkönen and form an orderly line - in no particular order - alongside Mika Häkkinen, Mika Salo, Juha Kankkunen, Hannu Mikkola, JJ Lehto, Keke Rosberg...
All exemplars in their field and all brought up to learn to drive in the unforgiving Winter conditions of Finland. If you can drive there, then you can probably drive anywhere and indeed, whether it's on the gravel and ice-strewn special stages of the rally circus or the glittering circuits of the Formula One world the Moniker of 'Flying Finn' is an oft-used and generally well-deserved one.
This season in Formula One there are two Finns vying not just for the coveted World Championship Driver crown, but also for the unofficial right to call themselves the current "Flying Finn" and it's arguably an extremely-talented 27 year old who's keeping his illustrious team mate honest at the pointy end of the grid who can lay claim to this cherished title.
For it is Valtteri Bottas sitting in 3rd position in the 2017 Driver's Championship in the Mercedes W08 - a full 2 places and 38 points ahead of his countryman, the Ferrari-driving vodka-enthusiast Kimi Räikkönen - who is doing the business this year.
After having been poached from Williams in the off-season to replace the retiring World Champ (and Finn(ish) himself) Nico Rosberg, Valtteri has been putting in some stunning performances this year already and is in with of shout of the Driver's Title in his debut year with Mercedes - a prospect that must be giving Lewis Hamilton some sleepless nights..
Graham caught up with Valtteri as he got ready to take a previous example of his company car up to the top of the Hill..

China, US Clinch Bilateral Investment Deal
from Sputnik News China and the United States have all but agreed the final text of a bilateral investment treaty that would expand trade between the world's two largest economies. The sides are expected to exchange lists of sectors they will seek to exclude from the deal and that won't be open to foreign investment — the so-called negative lists — already before this year is out, China's Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng announced Saturday. The Bilateral Investment Treaty provides for a set of mutually-guaranteed rules of investment activity in each country. It would grant American companies better access to the Chinese market and equal rights with the local firms. "The sides have all but agreed the text of the BIT agreement and will exchange negative lists already this year," Gao Hucheng told a news briefing held on the sidelines of an annual session of the Chinese parliament. He described the planned exchange as a "challenge for both countries," underscoring the existing differences between the US and Chinese economies. The minister also hoped that the agreement would have a significant impact on the global foreign investment rules.

The Work of the Holy Spirit
Saul must have felt at home in Antioch, the work was fruitful, but the whole world waited. Saul itched to finish his slow apprenticeship and start as the master builder.
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them" (Acts 13:2).
Pious Jews fasted twice each week, and early Christians may have continued the custom. The Mosaic Law commanded one annual fast on the Day of Atonement. Fasting is nowhere in the Bible commanded for Christians, although it was clear that some Christians voluntarily did so.
Until now, Jerusalem had been the center of ministry, and Peter had been the key apostle. But from this point, Antioch would become the new center, and Paul would become its chief missionary. The Gospel was on the move.
In reality, the call had been given a long time ago. Saul himself had received a clear and definite call to the Gentile work, and now he is engaged along with Barnabas. They were called by God to be pioneers— to plow new ground, reach out to new people, and new places; to reach the unreached with the Gospel of God.
In the lists of prophets and teachers (Acts 13:1), the name of Barnabas heads the list and Saul comes last. Luke names Barnabas before Saul until the two are into their first missionary journey, then Paul takes over and the names are reversed. At the Jerusalem Council, he reverses the order again. The order reflects leadership and influence.
One need not be surprised at the fact that Barnabas is called by the Holy Spirit to the head of the new work. He was the older man and was in charge of the church in Antioch. Certainly, Saul would feel no jealousy toward Barnabas who had done so much for his ministry. Luke is a true historian and preserves the right perspective.
The church began in Jerusalem, and then spread to other cities, including Samaria, Damascus, Caesarea, and Antioch in Syria. From Antioch, Paul and his partners, over the next twenty years, would carry the Gospel to the major cities of the known world. At least forty different cities are named in Acts.

1 - Don't Overdo the DetergentIt might seem to be a bit of a contradiction, but putting too much detergent into a washing machine will not make it cleaner - in fact, quite the opposite. Your washing machine only uses so much water during a cycle, and this water is only enough to dissolve a certain amount of detergent - and this is especially the case if you're using washing powder rather than a liquid.
2 - Consider Rinsing or Soaking Very Dirty ClothesDespite the wonders of modern technology, the average domestic washing machine is not built for extremely dirty loads. Unlike commercial washers, a home machine will struggle with trying to wash exceptionally soiled clothes.
