text: Had to get up fairly early, enjoying the hotel's free breakfast before heading out to SFO, first to drop off our cute Jeep by 8:30, then catching our flight, which, fortunately, was pretty much on time. Thank goodness we decided to fly first class this time, it's just something we've decided we need to do from now on, or certainly whenever possible, especially for these long jaunts. We've just reached a point in our lives where we just want to enjoy ourselves a bit, and flying is so dang hard these days, especially cross-country, so it's a nice way to treat ourselves a little, even when it's on our dime, like this time. Anyway, it was a nice flight, the lunch was okay but not great (some kind of barbecued chicken with corn and other flavors of the southwest, not my favorite), and we arrived on time, having made up for a late start. I grabbed the shuttle out to the parking lot and picked up the van, then picked up Hubby and headed back to the farm, arriving about 8:00, just as it was getting dark. We are SO ready to sleep in our own bed!!!

A-Gas signs refrigerant reclaim deal with Daikin
13th April 2021SINGAPORE: A-Gas' Singapore subsidiary, VEMAC, has signed an agreement with air conditioning manufacturer Daikin to provide refrigerant recovery solutions across the nation.
Working with Daikin Singapore, VEMAC will reclaim refrigerant recovered from air conditioning units to meet international AHRI 700 standards. This material will then be and made available for reuse as part of Daikin's circular economy approach.
"Daikin has values that closely align with A-Gas, to protect and enhance the environment by reducing global warming gases and preventing their release into the atmosphere," commented A-Gas Asia director Terry Mo.
Daikin will also be conducting training sessions for installers to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge and skill in the handling of refrigerant.

After five years of anticipation, Sony finally launched the updated version of the a7s II—the Sony a7s III. The Sony a7s III features an entirely new 12.1MP BSI sensor which was designed to offer larger pixels at 8.5 micrometers, making it more sensitive to light and better in low-light situations. It also comes with a new BIONZ XR processor which is 8x faster than the previous BIONZ X. Compared to the previous a7s II, it has 2x the readout, helping cut down on any type of rolling shutter.
The native ISO has been lowered to 80, making the range now from 80-102,400 with 15-stops of dynamic range in S-LOG 3. One major change that they incorporated in this camera is a menu redesign. One consistent complaint we hear at the store is how complicated Sony's menu system is when coming from another brand. Now, Sony has included a more user-friendly interface with a long-awaited touch screen. In addition, Sony even split the menu between the photo and video settings.
In terms of the physical features of the camera, it will feel very similar to the Sony a7R IV and the a9 II, only now the record button is on the top of the camera rather than on the back. One aspect Sony users will be excited about is that for the first time there is a 3" 1.44 million dot vari-angle LCD screen. Plus, the Quad-XGA OLED EVF viewfinder now has 9,437,184 dots with a 60 or 120FPS refresh rate, providing sharp, clear footage.
When considering memory cards, it can take dual SD UHS-II cards but not only that, those same slots are also reverse compatible with CFexpress type A cards. The CFexpress type A card is a new type of card that is slightly smaller than SD cards, but much faster and feels more durable. To compare, CFexpress B is what you'd find in cameras like the Nikon Z6 and Canon EOS R5 and is a slightly larger card but even faster than the CFexpress A.
Sony allows you to record simultaneously to both cards no matter what mode you're in. Since CFexpress type A cards have yet to be used, Sony is coming out with a new Sony TOUGH card at 80GB and 160GB with a read/write rate of 700MBs, half the speed of the CFexpress B cards. When it comes to deciding on what media to use with the A7SIII, check out the chart below.
For stabilization, it comes with 5-axis In-body Stabilization, the same you'll find in the a7R IV and the a9 II. Sony also added a feature called "Active" which is an optic stabilization and does add a slight crop, although, you'll still get a 1:1 pixel readout.
Although this camera is designed more for video, the a7s III still comes with some great photo specs, like how it can shoot up to 10 FPS with both the mechanical and electronic shutter. Keep in mind, if you're looking for a hybrid camera that can shoot well in both video and photo, we recommend the Sony a7 III.
The AF performance is 30% better with the new processor than the a7R IV but considering pixel size between both cameras that is understandable.
For video, it shoots 10 bit 4:2:2 4K UHD with a full pixel readout without pixel binning in all modes along with SLOG 2 and SLOG 3. You can also shoot Full HD up to 240FPS in all-I 10bit 4:2:2, but there is some pixel binning at 240FPS. One advantage that the a7s III has over the EOS R5 is the unlimited record time.
It will do 16 bit 4K RAW DCI at 60FPS cleanout to a full HDMI. You can shoot 4K externally and still record internal 4K at the same time. You can record the 4K/60 RAW on an Atomos Ninja V. There is also a new format called XAVC S-I 4K that lets you record all-I up to 600mbps in the highest quality option.
One major question many videographers will want to know is about overheating issues. The Sony a7s III does not come with a fan but Sony announced that they have built it to include a heat-dissipating structure.
There is a new infrared sensor that helps with the auto white balance under artificial light. Additionally, USB-C charging now uses USB 3.2 speed which is extremely fast when it comes to transferring images to the computer even while charging the camera.
The a7s III will start shipping on September 24th and is selling for $3,498. Click the button below pre-order yours today.

As a part of my doctoral research, I studied the barriers women face in career advancement. I'm devoted to illuminating the ways conscious bias, unconscious bias and structural or organizational policies, processes, etc. impact a woman's ability to grow professionally.
"I finished my PhD in political science three months ago. The challenges of being a student are still fresh for me. I'm here to be someone who can help make a student's experience at the School of Engineering the best that it can be.
As an undergrad, I was part of a cohort of first-generation college students. We lived together, took classes together and built strong bonds. It was a woman in my cohort who introduced me to research and connected me with my advisor. He opened my mind to the possibilities in higher education – like pursuing a PhD, which I didn't know about before college.
I came to Stanford right after undergrad and was the youngest person in my cohort as well as the only black woman. Thankfully, I met a group of amazing women who were supportive – we did everything from reading each other's papers to watching television together. Having them as a community, as well as being active in my church, really helped get me through the program. In my current work, it's important to me to help students find communities where they can voice and feel ownership for their full authentic selves.
As a part of my doctoral research, I studied the barriers women face in career advancement. I'm devoted to illuminating the ways conscious bias, unconscious bias and structural or organizational policies, processes, etc. impact a woman's ability to grow professionally. I also try to be cognizant that gender bias doesn't happen in a vacuum, which is why it is critical to have an intersectional lens when designing programs and policies to mitigate it.
I always knew I wanted to work in higher ed administration. For a long time, I thought the only pathway to doing so was to become a faculty member and then transition over. After connecting with mentors in this field, I realized that wasn't the case, and in short, that's what led me to where I am today. It may sound strange, but as the Assistant Director of Diversity and Inclusion at the School of Engineering, my goal is to work myself out of a job. Success to me means that diversity and inclusion perspectives are ingrained in all of the systems and processes within higher education from recruitment to onboarding, mentorship, professional development, etc. Ultimately, my goal is to help shift perceptions around who can be an engineer. It's about moving beyond preconceived notions of who belongs in this space to realize that anyone, no matter their background, gender, race, etc. has a place in this field."

New Delhi, May 16
Noting that the overall security scenario in North Eastern states has significantly improved with the help of neighbouring countries, particularly Bangladesh, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, while chairing a North-East review meeting, said that now the need of the hour is to improve "normal policing" and state governments should focus on orienting the police force towards "normal functioning".
The meeting, which was attended by the top security brass, including Minister of State for Development of North-East Region (IC) Jitendra Singh, Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval besides other senior officials of the Centre and state governments, reviewed both developmental and security measures undertaken so far and also made an assessment on what more needed to be done.
The Home Minister noted that the initiatives taken by the Centre in sectors like road, rail, aviation, power and digital infrastructure, along with initiatives in the field of human resource development, had given good results in the region. "These gains as part of our Act East Policy will open doors of South East Asian market for the region," he said.
"Organised militancy in the region is on the decline. However, a few incidents of violence are reported, but they are isolated and limited to crimes like extortion and kidnapping in the name of insurgency. Now police needs to be re-oriented towards its normal functioning of preventing and detecting crimes, which took a heavy toll in the past one decade," Singh said.
Highlighting the poor rate of persecution in one of the north-eastern states "to 5 per cent in comparison to the national average of 86 percent", the Home Minister argued that when a criminal is "not booked under the law", the common man loses faith in justice system. "Under the situation, the legitimacy of the state is also undermined and crime and criminality get incentivised," he added.

To use ASOS, we recommend using the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge
By Maybelle Morgan, September 1, 2017
So maybe you've never done a halfpipe jump before, but right now, we are crushing hard on the motocross trend — which has seen a revved-up '80s-style resurgence. Checkered flag print, acid shades and bold logos galore, see how the ASOS team are going full speed ahead…
Hello moto
The easiest way to dip into the trend? A skate-cool jersey shirt with bright paneling and logo detail. Make it more daytime friendly like Anna by tucking it into a raw-edge denim mini and finish off the look with some casj Converse.

Double line
Proof that motocross-inspired gear can look sleek AF? Ludovica with these tapered pants with sports-tipping and colorblock detail. The key is all in the material. Opt for satin pants, a dressier silk shirt and layers of gold chokers to up the glam-factor, but keep the look cool with some chunky skate sneaks.

Ready, set, go
The '80s get a distinctly modern feel with skinny jeans in teensy checkerboard print. Take the look from grunge to chic by going head-to-toe monochrome like Nicole. Add a classic long-sleeved white tee and a black belt to balance out the look, but a cutesy baker boy cap and patent heeled boots give it an ever-so-slightly fancier twist.
Pictured: Nicole Privett, ASOM coordinator
Zip it
What's fall weather-appropes and retro-cool? Jo's loud colorblock windbreaker featuring graphic detailing, skate-style logos and a funnel neck. Avoid going OTT by keeping the rest of your outfit muted: black mom jeans plus chunky white technical sneaks seal the deal.
Pictured: Joanna Kyte, editorial assistant

The finishing line
And for a very subtle nod to the trend, it doesn't get easier than these high-waisted silky wide-leg pants with checkerboard flag paneling running from hip to toe. To keep it from looking too sporty, clash up the grid by tucking in a monochrome Breton top and finish the look off with some black textured sneakers.

Praised for is health benefits and great taste, it appears that Scotland's seaweed is set to be among the next global food trends, according to VisitScotland and seaweed experts Mara Seaweed.
With the growing focus on healthy eating, the low-calorie, high-energy food has become a key ingredient in fine dining and is looking to break into every day cooking experiences. It is believed that this trend will continue to increase throughout the world.
Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh has been conducting extensive research in to the health benefits of Scotland's natural larder.
Dr Jane McKenzie, Academic Lead for Food & Drink Knowledge Exchange at Queen Margaret University said:
"Scottish seaweed contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals. Variety is important in ensuring a good nutritional intake and seaweed is a versatile option for including throughout the diet. As a result, seaweed may ultimately contribute towards reducing the risk of chronic disorders, particularly those related to high blood pressure and poor dietary habits."
2015 is the Year of Food and Drink, a 12 month celebration of Scotland's natural larder and unique dining experience.
VisitScotland believes that the increased popularity of the ingredient could help encourage foodie fans from both Scotland and overseas to come and sample authentic Scottish seaweed. Visitors can taste, forage and buy seaweed in various locations throughout the country, including a range of restaurants on Scotland's Seafood Trail.
Mara's chief seaweed harvester Rory Macphee, added: "In Scotland we have an ideal habitat for seaweed. Firstly, the low human density and reduced activity in the coastal zone results in purer waters.
Secondly, seaweed is mineral greedy and Scotland's fearsome tides are exactly what seaweeds need for high nutrient exchange."

Unsane, with Plaque Marks and Vaults – December 7th, 2017
The Cobalt, Vancouver, BC
These are seriously my favourite shows. The ones you almost forget about, ditch your shift at work for last minute, and then wonder how you even considered not attending.
Vaults kicked this thing off like nobody's business. Second show ever and vicious as fuck. That's a hell of a way to get the party started.
I was completely unfamiliar with Plaque Marks, but there definitely was a reason they were the direct support to Unsane. On a certain level, I truly appreciate going into a show with only vague expectations and letting the live performance speak for itself. If anyone's wondering about the bagel-related banter between songs, it's because apparently one of the Unsane guys had to fly home to grab his passport in order to get into Canada, and smuggled in some authentic NYC bagels for these guys. I'd be pretty ecstatic myself.
How to introduce Unsane? Clearly, they require no introduction. As progenitors of heavy music that doesn't fit within a mould, their influence goes so far that one can feasibly listen to them in countless other artists that one has become more familiar with, without knowing where it came from. Hearing the inflections of a sound they basically spearheaded in a significant amount of what I listen to today is testament to this assertion, and actually witnessing these guys do it themselves, as a live unit in the flesh, finally, was something truly special.

Ste. Genevieve, Oak Ridge and Chaffee High Schools Take Top Three in Bridge Competition
SIKESTON-After more than 225 bridges were tested, Zack Fallert of Ste. Genevieve High School stood victorious in MoDOT's sixth annual Bridge Building Competition for high school juniors and seniors. The competition sought to test the students' engineering skills as they designed and constructed the most efficient model bridge, the lightest bridge to carry the greatest load-Fallert's bridge proved to do just that.
With cash and other prizes at stake, other Ste. Genevieve High School students' bridges followed Fallert's lead. In addition to winning first place, Ste. Genevieve High School also had bridges that came in second through ninth places as well. Oak Ridge High School had a student that placed tenth.
Other awards included the "most aesthetic" bridge, given to Clayton Cox of Ste. Genevieve; and the computer-based electronic bridge award, given to Alec Smith of Oak Ridge High School. Individual prizes were donated by: Three Rivers Community College, the Southeast Missouri State's Physics & Engineering Club, CS Printing, Sonic, McDonald's, Best Buy, and the Southeast Coalition for Roadway.
In addition to the individual prizes, other prizes were awarded for the schools that competed the best overall-with $1,000 in prize money donated by Sen. Jason Crowell. Ste. Genevieve High School's teacher Anthony Eubanks accepted a trophy and a $500 check for first place; Oak Ridge High School's teacher Mark Gihring accepted a $300 check for placing second; and Chaffee High School's teacher Jaron McMurry accepted a $200 check for coming in third. In addition to the cash prizes, Representative Jo Ann Emerson also donated two flags (that were flown over the U.S. Capitol Building) to the top two schools.
"We've had so many teachers really get involved in the competition and use it as a way to teach elements of engineering to their students and really educate them about the design process, that we wanted a way to reward the schools for their efforts in promoting civil engineering," said Traffic Engineer Craig Compas. "We're appreciative that Sen. Crowell's and Rep. Emerson's generosity made that possible."
In addition to all the cash prizes and awards, MoDOT also partnered with Arkansas State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla), University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou), and Southern Illinois University of Carbondale, to offer seniors interested in civil engineering up to $10,000 worth of civil engineering scholarships.
"We really want to foster an interest in civil engineering with the competition," said Senior Highway Designer Anita Clark. "The event started as a way to get students in Southeast Missouri interested in engineering, help them with their education, and hopefully have them working in the field someday-possibly even with MoDOT. That opportunity wouldn't be possible without the generous donations of the businesses and organizations that help us make it happen each year-and to them, we are extremely grateful."
During the competition, lunch was provided to all participating students. Lunch sponsors, and other supply sponsors included: Wehrenberg Theatres of Cape Girardeau, CiCi's Pizza, Rhodes of Cape Girardeau, Coca-Cola, Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity, and Hobby Lobby.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Southeast Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety was also on-hand with the Seat Belt Convincer (a ride that simulates how it feels to be in a 5-MPH traffic crash) during the competition, hoping to impact the high school students with the importance of buckling-up.
For more information, contact Compas, Clark or MoDOT's Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (1-888-275-6636).

The Undergraduate Government of Boston College (UGBC) recently revealed its proposed revision to the Student Guide in a town hall meeting, addressing rights and responsibilities, conduct reform, and free speech and expression.
The "rights and responsibilities" revisions would allow students to easily review their conduct records. It would provide them the right against self-incrimination in conduct hearings, and also provide that they may appeal sanctions without fear of retaliation. The conduct reforms include reinstating housing probation as an intermediary between disciplinary and university probation, as well as putting the burden of proof on the administration during an appeal, applying a "clear and convincing" standard to hearings rather than the current "more likely than not." These revisions will provide protection to students in conduct hearings more closely aligned with those of the United State legal system.
The free speech proposal is directly aimed at improving policies regarding how students can share information on campus.
The proposal includes revising the process of bringing speakers to campus. Students currently must seek the approval of the Office of Student Involvement (OSI) 45 days prior to bringing a speaker to campus. OSI can then choose to reject a speaker, with no reason for the speaker's denial. UGBC proposes a system in which OSI can still reject the speaker, but must report the reasons why to the student group and a Committee for Free Expression, which would be formed under the proposed revisions. This committee would be composed of the Vice President of Student Affairs, four tenured professors, one graduate student, and four undergraduate students.
The reforms also address the current inability of anyone but Registered Student Organizations (RSO) to hang fliers around campus. The new proposal would allow both RSO's and groups of at least five people to hang fliers on campus, and strip OSI of its right to reject a flier on grounds of content. This particular revision begs some consideration of potential abuses of a completely open system. A Walsh eight-man could conceivably post crass fliers around campus under such a policy, crowding out space that could otherwise be used to relay important information on events and social causes.
UGBC's proposal could be strengthened by giving the Committee for Free Expression the same type of oversight for fliers as it would have for speakers—allowing for the University to reject fliers with no clear intent, but also holding it accountable in written form for censoring the messages of certain groups.
The proposed changes to the Student Guide would allow students to hold demonstrations in predetermined locations around campus with minimal restrictions and often no approval process. If students are simply protesting local or national events, the University would not need to be notified. If students want to protest University or student events, they would need to notify the Office of the Dean of Students (DOS) 48 hours before the event, so DOS could make necessary arrangements. The creation of spaces for students to openly express beliefs would be a welcome reform. UGBC should make some allowance, however, for reasonable restrictions regarding the blocking of paths and entrances to buildings, as well as noise levels during class hours.
UGBC's proposed reforms to the Student Guide could open BC up as a university, creating an atmosphere more conducive to the expression of ideas. An attentiveness to detail, however, and understanding of the nuance of University policy will be necessary in ensuring these changes can be smoothly implemented.

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!
My name is Rhi and I'm a 19 year old girl from England. I love all things beauty, and have for a good while now. I think my love really began when I start to discover the world of beauty blogs and youtube. Seeing how the products were used in ways I could never have imagined, to see the tutorials and favourites posts was very eye-opening. As a young girl, the only time I was ever exposed to makeup was if I went into Boots or Superdrug. Now, I love getting new makeup and my wishlist is huge!
I'm currently a university student in the North of England (if you'd like to know about being a student email me, I'd be happy to answer any questions) and am studying a law degree! I don't know of many beauty bloggers who do law, so if you do I'd love you to get in contact with me! I'm not 100% what I want to do when I graduate. Part of me does want to go into law and I think I'd enjoy it. But the other part of me still wants to do something in the beauty industry. I'd love to be a makeup artist, but I'm not sure if I'd be any good and I'd have no idea where to start.
Why I Started Blogging
I started my blog as I find that everyone else around me gets bored of my constant talking about makeup when they just don't feel the same enthusiasm for me. My friends wear makeup, but it's like washing their hair to them. They like doing it and they'll use nice products, but they hardly get excited if a new shampoo comes out. I have found I've become a bit of an enabler among friends and family. I tell people about products which I love, and take them to Boots or Superdrug to try out and they sometimes end up getting it. Bad for their bank accounts, but I love it when they buy something on my recommendation and then love it.
If you'd like to know more about me, tweet me @BeautyBList!

Ikea pulls TV commercial from mainland China after social media backlash over its "sexist" content
Ikea's move came in response to a backlash from internet users who described the clip as "sexist".
Swedish furniture giant Ikea has pulled one of its Chinese TV commercials following accusations that the advert was "sexist" and portrayed negative stereotypes about single women.
The 30-second ad showed a mother rudely telling her single daughter, "Don't call me your mom if you cannot bring back a boyfriend" after which the girl appears with a man who claims to be her boyfriend.
That makes the girl's parents happy and their attitude towards her also changes. They immediately tidy up the room and decorate it with Ikea products. The tag line that appears on screen reads: "Celebrate everyday easily".
Ikea's move to pull the advert came in response to a backlash from internet users who described the clip as "sexist" and "twisted".
The multinational company released a statement on Tuesday (24 October), saying: "IKEA encourages people to live different lifestyles, and this belief is reflected in our product design and home furnishing solutions.
"Gender equality is a fundamental part of the IKEA culture and values, which we share with everybody."
Chinese internet users had taken to Weibo — China's equivalent of Twitter — to voice their anger as soon as the ad went on air. Many accused the furniture giant of supporting the orthodox idea of getting single women married as soon as possible. They alleged that Ikea supports the conservative idea of "leftover women"– a cultural view that single women over the age of 27 have less value or importance.
"I just want to ask IKEA, would they dare to show such an ad in their home country, Sweden?" a Weibo user posted.
Another said: "Whether having a romantic partner or not is ones own business and does not need any interference from others, let alone an advertisement."
This is not the first time an advertisement has courted controversy in China. In July, German car manufacturer Audi came under fire for an advert that compares buying a vehicle to finding a wife.
The ad showed a woman having her mouth and face inspected carefully by her mother-in-law on her wedding day. At the end of the ad, a red Audi drives along a road as a male voice-over says, "An important decision must be made carefully".
The commercial was heavily criticised, with many calling it a "disgusting" example of sexism, and others calling for a boycott of the company.

(24-25.05) We are pleased to invite you for online workshops Dissemination and implementation of OECD in vitro and in silico methods applicable to the safety and risk assessment of chemicals, food and feed
The goal of the International symposium Dissemination and implementation of the OECD in vitro and in silico methods applicable to the safety and risk assessment of the chemicals, food, and feed is to bring together the international experts from the particular fields and to spread expert information about the alternative methods (in vitro, in silico) to the target scientific community. Symposium will be focused on the Visegrad Group countries (Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland) and neighbouring countries with Slovakia (Austria and Ukraine).
The symposium will be a two-day event organised in Bratislava with theoretical presentations and practical demonstrations and a Round table discussion about the implementation of OECD methods (in vitro and in silico) in the countries of the Visegrad Group, Austria, and Ukraine. Theoretical lectures of the invited experts will be given by two OECD experts (genotoxicity, developmental toxicity), an ECHA expert (OECD QSAR toolbox), and an expert from EFSA (OpenFoodTox database), and one national representative (implementation of the alternative methods and 3Rs in Slovakia – SNP3Rs platform).
The practical demonstration will be divided into 2 groups of participants (in vitro and in silico tools). Smaller groups of participants will have the opportunity to see the practical demonstration of the selected in vitro methods on 3D reconstructed tissue models and the opportunity to work with the PC simulations and databases.
Due to the epidemiological situation in the EU, the symposium will be held as an online event.

Book Review: Die For Me (Revenants #1) by Amy Plum
Title: Die For Me (Revenants #1)
Author: Amy Plum
Publisher: Atom
Publishing Date: May 5th 2011
Length: 352 pages
Genre: YA, fantasy, paranormal romance
Source: ARC from publisher
My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change everything.
Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were orphans. We put our lives into storage and moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life, would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.
Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying destiny, one that puts his life at risk every day. He also has enemies . . . immortal, murderous enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.
While I'm fighting to piece together the remnants of my life, can I risk putting my heart—as well as my life and my family's—in jeopardy for a chance at love?
Summary by Goodreads
DIE FOR ME centres around a new concept of paranormal being, the revenants, whose existence is caused by nobility on the one hand and by hatred and anger on the other hand.
We get to meet protagonists Kate and Vicent and their families.Our heroine is very likely, with a modest and caring character, our male protagonist can be described as a very gentle, understanding and sexy Frenchman.
The relationship is really sweet , I am already eager to read more about them and how they are interacting together, always very cautious although there is not really a need to.
I sense a love triangle emerging, which could hold some difficulties since the potential charmeur is also a good friend of Vincent.
Set in Paris, DIE FOR ME takes us on a trip through the atmospheric and lovely capital of France. Amy Plum worked out a fantastic map of locations and settings by wandering the streets and sharing her favourite spots with her readers.
Plum's writing is solid and entertaining. She doesn't bore her readers with dragging dialogues, but keeps them sweet and short. She involves some popular culture references which make DIE FOR ME also a youthful read.
At some points DIE FOR ME was a bit slow paced, there are some moments with very few progress for the plot. But I see that DIE FOR ME as it is the first novel in a series is mostly to explain its concept of revenants and introduce its lovely characters. At the moment I cannot see where this story is heading, but that's exactly what makes it an exciting read.
1) we are all escapists at heart
2) we are already looking for our own reading spot in a cute Parisian cafe
3) we love French food
4) of many atmospheric and cute settings
4) of many atmospheric and cute settings
5) of an engaging concept of new paranormal being
4/5 **** DIE FOR ME- A new paranormal concept mixed with the perfect setting and likeable characters resulsts in a sweet new YA novel with heart!
This novel by debut author Amy Plum is like a box of petit fours filled with sweet romance and Parisian esprit, layered with dark enemies and finished with a tasty fantasy frosting. Hungry? Go get DIE FOR ME and give this new taste a try.

Moroccan Oil Body Spray
These popular long lasting body sprays (we like to call them everything sprays) are made fresh with simple, non-toxic ingredients. These are perfect for anyone looking for a more natural, clean, alcohol free body spray that lasts all day long.
How to use body spray: Shake well and spray on clean, dry skin. Can also be used as a hair perfume (many customers have sprayed it on their hairbrush and brushed it through their hair).
Here's the Moroccan Oil scent description:
After many requests, I paid my favorite perfume duplicator to recreate the scent of the popular Moroccan hair oil. It was tested by my customers, and myself, against the original and found to be very, very close to the scent of the hair oil product. Top notes of rose and citrus; middle notes of vanilla and amber; base note of amber and woods. Compare to the Moroccan Oil hair product.
I know it's popular to classify scents as a best body spray for women and a best body spray for men, but we like to think our scents are terrific for everyone. You do you and enjoy the scent that you love the most.
Ingredients: Fragrance, Plant based polysorbate-20 (to blend the oil and water), Distilled water. Formulated without alcohol, parabens, phthalates, soy or gluten. Always vegan and cruelty-free.
We understand that it's impossible to tell if you like a fragrance without trying it first, that's why we offer risk-free 1/16 oz mini-perfume samples. If you don't like the fragrance, you can get a one-time refund or replacement of the risk-free mini-perfume samples. We really want to make sure you love the scent before spending your hard earned money on the larger size scented products. Because this option is offered, there are no returns on anything else in our shop due to ethical and environmental reasons. Here's a link to our Return Policy:

Dr. Stephen J. Pyle DDS the 1st Weston Dental Practice Meet Our Staff
Hello and welcome,
My name is Beth and I am the office manager and I consider my main role to be your patient care adviser. I can't wait for you to visit my office at our new location, as one wall of my office is the living reef aquarium!
I have been with Dr. Pyle since December 1988, having just moved to Weston from Westchester County NY as a newlywed. Now over 25 years later I am still passionate about what we do here at Dr Pyle's dental office in Weston. Over the years Dr Pyle has put together a wonderful team of experienced staff. Their attention to technical detail and quality along with a personal touch makes me thankful to be a part of Dr. Pyle's dental office. He is always gentle with his patients and takes the time to get to know everyone individually. It is so nice to come to work feeling like you are part of a family.
I am especially thrilled to be able to coordinate the treatment of sleep apnea with oral dental appliances. Adding this treatment option to our practice has been so rewarding to me personally, as I have the responsibility to follow-up with the sleep apnea patients we have treated and hear their testimony of how dramatically their lives have been improved by using the oral appliance and getting the first night of restful sleep in years.
I am here to help facilitate your treatment and comfort at our office in any way I can, whether it be discussing treatment options, insurance questions or billing policies. Also if you just want to talk and look at the beautiful fish and corals, I am here for you.
I have been married to my husband Paul since 1987. He is a golf course superintendent on Fisher Island in Miami and also an avid golfer. We have been blessed with 3 girls Molly, Sophie and Emma, and the youngest is becoming quite the avid golfer as well! We also have 3 dogs and a cat. In my spare time (which I have little of) I enjoy gardening, decorating and cooking.
It is such a pleasure to be part of Dr Pyle's a warm and caring team. I look forward to speaking and meeting with you soon!
My name is Daisy. I have been a Dental Hygienist with Dr. Stephen J. Pyle DDS since 2001. I graduated from dental school in 1990, and since then I have been working in the dental field. My husband, son, daughter, and I moved to Weston in 2000.
It is my goal to set at a high standard of patient care here at the office. I strive to provide my patients with the best dental visit experience by expressing my passion and dedication in patient care, education, and disease prevention. I strive to integrate all these aspects into an overall positive dental experience. For me it is important to keep setting new goals for myself so that I never stop learning and striving to be better at what I do as part of Dr Pyle's dental team.
I look forward to meeting and providing you with the best professional dental care.
Hello and Welcome!
My name is Rosa, and I have been a Dental Assistant for over 20 years. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I moved to Florida in 2000. I have been with Dr. Pyle since 2007. I assist Dr Pyle chair-side when he does restorative dentistry, crowns and bridgework. I also assist him and our hygienists with all aspects of patient care.
I love seeing the effect our finished results have on a patient's frame of mind, attitude and self-confidence— when they have come in with a dental problem and leave with a big smile–nothing compares to that! I love my job and enjoy what I do. My favorite thing about working with Dr Pyle is having the ability to learn new ways of helping patients and to grow in my knowledge. It's great to get to know different people and to help make a difference in their lives.
I love working with Dr Pyle because he is very kind and compassionate to everyone—he is a fantastic dentist to work with!
I am looking forward to meeting you and seeing your smile during your visit with us.
My name is Cassandra, I may be the first smiling face you see as you come into our beautiful reception area. I am here to help you and your family schedule an appointment and answer any insurance or billing questions you may have.
My husband Paul and I have been married since 2007. Both native Floridians we are thrilled to be raising our son Mason and daughter Makayla in beautiful Weston.
In our free time we enjoy going to the beach, finding the best ice cream places and of course going to Disney!
I am so blessed to work with such an amazing team and doctors who are truly compassionate about the care they give to our patients.
I look forward to meeting you!
My name is Becky. I am very excited to be a part of Dr. Pyle's wonderful and compassionate team. I am a native Floridian, born in West Palm Beach. I graduated from Palm Beach State College in 2004 with my degree in Dental Hygiene. My husband and I were married in 2007 and we have two beautiful sons. After living in New Jersey for six years, we have made our home in Weston.
As a caring, gentle and thorough hygienist I am devoted to creating lasting relationships and I love educating our patients to achieve and maintain oral health.
I am looking forward to meeting you.
My name is Kelsey. I am so happy to be a part of Dr. Pyle's amazing team. Growing up in the dental world (a few family members are dentists) I've always had a huge love for dentistry.
I was born and raised in South Florida. I grew up less than a mile from the beach and enjoy anything that has to do with the outdoors and water. I love going out on my boat, diving and fishing. I also like to travel and love learning about new cultures.
I look forward to seeing all of you soon
My Name is Ashlynn. It's exiting to work with such an amazing team. I hope you find my enthusiasm and compassion helps to make you comfortable.
Originally from Ocala and now living in South Florida I have always loved the outdoors and being on the water. I also enjoy spending time with my chocolate lab Yeti.
I look forward to meeting you all soon.
My name is Lindsay. Having worked in the dental field for over 10 years I have worked with all aspects of dentistry. I truly enjoy family dentistry and helping our patients get the smile they deserve. Nothing makes me happier than to see all your smiling faces.
I was born and raised in South Florida in the Weston area and still do to this day. In my free time you will usually find me somewhere outdoors, whether riding side by side in the Everglades or boating on the Ocean.
I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful dental family and look forward to meeting you all!

Last Thursday the Tiny House of Marloes came to Alkmaar! After two years of investing blood, sweat and tears, with most of the time going one step forward and two steps back, deliberating and navigating between all parties involved, we finally got there. We were absolutely thrilled! Sadly enough, that same day came with bitter news: the lawyer of the municipality called to inform me that the Waterboard Noorderkwartier had filed a request for immediate suspension of the environmental permit…
Last Wednesday we received the signed loan agreement for the land and the environmental permit. We had counted on this so the arrival of Marloes' house had already been planned. But it wasn't absolutely certain until I had the permit in my hands, so after that I could inform everyone. The municipality told me they would inform the Waterboard, like they would normally do when granting the permit. Still I called them right after I got the permit to tell them a new house would arrive the next day. It seemed like a decent thing to do. I expected them to object to the new permit, but not that they would request a temporary provision, and certainly not this fast. Not after the nice talk I had with the Environment and Space Advisor from the Waterboard. Afterwards they have let me know they didn't see any other option and felt very bad for me. I appreciate that, but that doesn't really help.
If the judge decides in favor of the Waterboard, the permit will be canceled and we will have to leave instantly – although I hope we will be granted some time to organize a move. If the judge rules in favor of the municipality, the objections procedure will take place as planned. That means we can stay a while longer, waiting for the ruling of the objections committee. I hope I'm saying this correctly, this is how I understand it. It also means that Marja's house can't come to the plot as was planned for the second week of April. So now she needs to figure out how to store her Tiny House for the time being when it's ready in April, while she is temporarily living in a vacation house – having already sold her old house.
How did I feel when I got the news? Defeat. Surprise. Disbelief. Sadness. Anger. Followed by: of course, it has always been this way, why should this time be any different? Sometimes I feel like a puppy on a short leash. Again and again I start running filled with happiness and enthusiasm only to be reined in violently by my owner. I cried. Not even for me, but for Marloes. It has been such a massive undertaking for her, and she's nowhere near finished. If the judge rules in favor of the Waterboard, it means we both have to leave the terrain. Although it would be a hassle for me too and I really don't want to leave – and want so badly to have a beautiful Tiny House pilot project here – I'll be fine in the end. But for Marloes it would be devastating. She invested all her money in the design and build of her house and it's all gone now. The house is mobile, but moving it costs a lot of money. And she probably will have a harder time than me finding a new place, because it's not on wheels but has to be transported with a flatbed trailer. That's a perfectly fine choice when you have to move every few years, but not every few weeks. Marloes has already terminated her rent starting from May 1st and she also can't afford double expenses. It's all very stressful for her and Marja. I didn't want to tell Marloes on Thursday. Not on the same day her house would arrive here, that was meant to be a happy day. But unfortunately the court proceeding had already made the news:
So I had no other choice but to tell her. I didn't want her to find out in another way that she might have to leave again so soon. They're such great people, my (future) neighbors Marja, Marloes and Lan. They follow their hearts in spite of all uncertainties, standing up for their desire to live differently. You need to give up some things, you know, if you want to live in a Tiny House. The path of a Tiny House pioneer is not an easy one to walk and it takes a lot of effort. I respect them so much. Thankfully, in other places it doesn't create so many problems as in Alkmaar.
Where do I stand right now? Well, what else can you do, we just have to wait and see. First we need to wait for a date for the hearing. I think I'll just let it go and hand it over to God, the Universe, the powers that be or whatever you want to call it. I believe that everything happens for a reason. That doesn't make it easier and it can really can piss you off at times, but I sincerely believe it. So this also has happened for a reason. I choose to have faith in a happy ending, even though I'm so tired of all of this.
My dear friend Monique van Orden came to see me on Thursday night after work, to lift up my spirits. 'What fresh hell is this!', she shouted. We had a good laugh together and all the stress came out. We talked about Andre Kuipers. I went to one of his lectures recently and I thinks he's a brilliant public speaker with a great story. 'Well,' Monique said, 'Andre Kuipers eat your heart out! Your story will be even better! I'm sure you asked for a life with a very good story before you started this life'. I had to laugh so hard about that. 'I'll have one life with a good story please, don't care how hard it is!' :P
Oh boy, what a story it is. Good thing I can laugh about it every now and then. For now, I'll start to focus on the actual good stuff, like the online course that will be available next Friday. I'm very proud of this project, we've created a good e-learning experience. Koen is finishing up the videos at the moment and on Friday you can take the course! (Only available in Dutch at this moment). Please don't be intimidated by our experiences here in Alkmaar, there are a lot of good Tiny House projects in the making, so those locations are on the way. The Tiny House movement is unstoppable!

[ mozilla ]Mozilla in Brazil: FISL 10
FISL took place in Porto Alegre, Brazil from June 24th through June 27th and had over 8,000 participants. It was the conference's 10th edition, but only the second year for Mozilla.

On Sept. 8, 2020, a spokesperson for AstraZeneca, one of the companies developing a vaccine for COVID-19, said that their Phase 3 trials of the vaccine have been put on hold because one of the participants in the United Kingdom suffered a serious unexplained side effect. This came at a time when schools are starting and businesses are reopening, and the hopes of a reliable and safe vaccine was on the mind of everyone.
The frenetic search for a vaccine has made it easy fodder to be politicized in such a way that it has become a tool to disparage opposing factions of the political spectrum. The incumbent assures that the vaccine will be developed in record time, dubbing his initiative as Operation Warp Speed. The opposing camp is suspicious that the incumbent is rushing the development of the vaccine so frantically that the vaccine would be rolled out by skipping normal protocols, compromising the vaccine's effectiveness and safety. To this, the incumbent has countered saying that they "should apologize for the reckless anti-vaccine rhetoric."
The vaccine should not be used as a bargaining chip between one faction or another. It is neither for one particular group of people over another, nor is it to benefit one country over another. A vaccine should be developed to save all of mankind. Unfortunately, it has been embroiled in a tatter of misinformation. The result is that now no one seems to have much confidence in a vaccine itself. All of this is happening without the guarantee that a vaccine would ever come to fruition. A poll conducted by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago in mid-May showed that only 50% of the population in the U.S. say that they would be willing to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Of the Black people who account for a quarter of all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., 40% said that they would not get the vaccine.
I watched The View on Sept. 9, 2020, and Sunny Hostin, one of the hosts of the show gave her opinion on whether she would take the vaccine when one becomes available. She had a discussion with Floyd, a good friend from law school, who voiced his doubts about a vaccine saying, "I got one word for you. Tuskegee." That, Hostin said, struck her to her core. Let me offer what shot through Hostin's mind when his friend said Tuskegee.
Hostin's friend was referring to a 1932 study called the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Its formal title was, "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male." The Tuskegee Institute in conjunction with the U.S. Public Health Service began a study in Macon County, Alabama to record the natural history of syphilis in hopes of finding a treatment. The study involved 600 black men, of which 399 were infected with syphilis and 201 were not infected. Researchers told their subjects that they were being treated for "bad blood," a colloquial term to suggest a slew of ailments such as anemia, fatigue, including syphilis. However, these researchers never intended to treat their subjects. It was never the objective of the study. The study was to observe what would happen to their subjects with syphilis when left untreated. In exchange for participating in the study, the men were given free medical exams, free meals, and burial insurance. This study was also conducted without the
patient's informed consent. At its inception, the study was scheduled to last six years. It continued for forty years until 1972.
The Tuskegee research represents one of the most egregious atrocities in U.S. history. I say "most egregious" for the researcher's disdain for people's health and livelihood, and that the study was conducted under the direction and full acknowledgement of the U.S. Public Health Service. From the beginning, the clinical study could not be conducted without unwitting people, and without divulging key issues that might impact a participant's health. The 600 subjects were mainly impoverished African-American male sharecroppers. These men were led to believe that they were being treated for syphilis. But, in fact, researchers disguised their diagnostic procedures as treatment, and offered only placebos and ineffective treatments, grossly misleading them. All of this continued under the spurious agreement that they were being provided free medical care. None of the participants were informed of their diagnoses. This non-disclosure also left others who were intimate with these subjects vulnerable. Participants were also not informed of the disease's extreme danger, that syphilis can cause blindness, deafness, mental illness, bone deterioration, heart disease, damage to the nervous system, eventually leading to death. Although a therapeutic for syphilis was found during the forty-year history of the study, none of the men were treated. There was no intention to cure them. While penicillin became the standard treatment for syphilis in 1947, for twenty-five years, the subjects of the study were left uninformed of their disease, and untreated as well. Researchers withheld information and misled their subjects. Treatment programs were readily available to other residents in the area, yet the participants in the study were discouraged from accessing them.
The supervisors of the Tuskegee Study continued their study until their atrocity was revealed by a 27 year-old epidemiologist, Peter Buxton. Buxton was hired by the Public Health Service to interview patients with sexually transmitted diseases. It was through these interviews that he learned of the participants in the Tuskegee Study. Thoroughly disillusioned, Buxton filed an official protest with the Service's Division of Venereal Diseases in November of 1966. His protest was rejected on the basis that the study was still incomplete. He filed another protest two years later in November of 1968. Once again, his protest fell on deaf ears, and was ruled as irrelevant. Finally, in 1972, Buxton went to the Washington Star (later purchased by The Washington Post). A story authored by Jean Heller was published on July 25, 1972. The following day, it made the front page of The New York Times. This prompted Sen. Edward Kennedy to call for Congressional hearings which finally led to the termination of the Tuskegee Study. This eventually led to the 1979 Belmont Report which set guidelines for the ethical protection of human subjects in biomedical and behavioral research. It serves as a reference for institutional review boards that review research proposals endorsed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
On May 16, 1997, President Clinton publicly apologized for the U.S. government's responsibility in this study. This apology came almost sixty-five years after the Tuskegee
Study was begun. Also, a program to provide comprehensive lifetime health care for the widows and offspring of the participants was mandated by Congress.
I have highlighted the story of the Tuskegee Study because it is not a fabricated story offered by a politician. It actually happened, and the study was sustained for forty long years. What the Tuskegee Study teaches is that people's health or anyone's life should never be used for one's personal gain or agenda. Human life cannot be compared to any inanimate thing, no matter how precious it may appear to be.
In his writing, Jiri Kuyo Go-sho (事理供養御書), Nichiren Shonin wrote, "Life is the most important asset among all assets. Even within the vastness of Three Thousand GreatWorlds, there is nothing that can replace life."† (いのちと申す物は一切の財の中に第一の財なり。遍満三千界無有直身命ととかれて、三千大千世界にみてゝ候財をいのち にはかへぬ事に候なり。) In other words, life is the most precious phenomenon in this world. If we agree this to be correct, rushing to create a vaccine which may turn out to be ineffective and unsafe really amounts to a compromise of people's health, and devalues the sanctity of human life. Putting out a vaccine that is ineffective and or unsafe is equivalent to providing syphilis patients with placebos, and lying that they will eventually feel better.
A life, even just one life, is not expendable or replaceable. It is a priori to all other predications. We have nothing without life. If there is no life, there can be no aspirations of fame, money, or power. The development and production of a vaccine should only exist to support life, not to be used as some bargaining chip to further any one party's agenda.

A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot located in a deep vein, usually in the legs.
A DVT is usually caused by a combination of different factors. One of these factors is a period of reduced activity, for example an aeroplane or car journey longer than four hours. The longer the flight or journey, the greater the risk. A DVT usually occurs shortly after the journey, but the risk remains elevated up to eight weeks after the journey.
DVT occurs mainly in people with pre-existing risk factors, such as:
Prevention during a flight of 4 hours or more.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Ask for an aisle seat so that you can get up easily.
Ensure that you have enough space in the area under the seat in front of you, so that you can move your feet.
Change position regularly.
Perform exercises for your legs and feet several times per hour.
Get up regularly and walk around.
If you have any of the risk factors for DVT, discuss with your doctor whether the following additional measures are necessary:
Seek medical advice if you suffer any symptoms. A DVT should be treated as soon as possible. The clot can detach and move with the blood to the lungs (pulmonary embolism).

Whisky glasses have been an object of debate for a very long time. Some people say that it doesn't really matter in which glass you enjoy your own whisky; it is the beverage which matters. However a genuine lover of whisky may differ from this point of view. After all the actual attire of the beverage is as important as the consume itself! Imagine having the finest of wine beverages out of a paper cup or perhaps a tumbler. In the same way we need to give a good whisky true respect by serving it in the right kind of glass.
Many people think that a whisky glass ought to be chosen depending on exactly how you would like to take pleasure in your beverage. Whisky could be sipped and savored neat. It can be drunk on the www.whiskyyeast.com rocks, which means the actual whisky will be put over ice-cubes or even it may be had like a shot or perhaps a drink. All of these combined with the quality of the whisky may play an essential component in choosing a whisky glass.
Typically, a highball glass or a whisky tumbler had been used to serve and drink whisky. Almost all films and tv shows depict all prosperous people pouring out a whisky or Scotch over ice in tumblers. THE whisky tumbler normally holds approximately ten ounces of whisky easily. These glasses may be used to serve all kinds of whisky be it a Scotch, Bourbon, Irish whisky or the actual newer whiskies for example Japanese and Indian whiskies. These glasses can also be used to serve whisky based cocktails such as Manhattan or perhaps a easy cola with Bourbon.
The snifter glass is another glass which is extremely popular among whisky drinkers. This particular glass is a small short and wide and looks a lot like a tulip glass but is not fluted at the very top. The actual aromas of the whisky gather easily in the bowl of the glass and enhance the flavor of the beverage. This glass is best utilized when you're planning on savoring all the notes and flavors of an expensive whisky.
The Tulip glass is actually an additional favorite amongst whisky consumers. This wine glass has a round base and becomes a little narrow towards the top before it flutes out. A tulip goblet allows the actual aromas of the whisky to collect close to its bulbous bottom and produces them gradually enhancing the whisky consuming experience.
The unique type of the Glencairn glass makes it the most suitable to keep a whisky in comparison with all other whisky glasses. This particular glass that's now trying to position itself as the official whisky glass. It can be stated that almost all spirits such as cognac, champagne, wine, brandy etc have their own individual designated glasses. But whisky, that is such a wonderfully complex consume, is left being served in any obtainable glass. Whisky drinking needs to be enjoyed thoroughly. And to do that, it isn't merely the actual flavors on the palate that need to be relished but also the gentle scents on the nose which need to be experienced and enjoyed. The Glencairn glass rests superbly on the hand. The shape of the glass enables the consumer to savor the traditional nosing of the beverage. The tapering mouth of the glass makes way for easy drinking and capturing all the aromas that rise from it.
