Do something to make a difference in OCD - #beawaretocare
This petition had 40 supporters
OCD is a trivialised subject where some people forget or aren't aware that it is a serious mental illness. It hits people where it hurts - imagine having the thought of losing a loved one so much so, you feel you have to carry out a certain compulsion to prevent it from happening... whether it be tapping a table 7 times or even counting from 1-20, 3 times over. Or, imagine not being able to get rid of an intrusive and unwanted thought about a loved one, so it builds up and gets stronger and stronger that you're so scared you may act upon it and you'll do anything to prevent it. Or, imagine being so afraid that if you touch someone, you feel you will contract a "negative" trait from them. Or, being so scared that you may harm your newborn child that you have to constantly sterilise baby bottles, constantly check that your baby is breathing, constantly make ALL sharp objects hidden in the house to prevent them from harming the baby. There are so many ways in which OCD can get people - mild or severe - that makes the sufferer so anxious and causes them distress. Spreading the word about people's stories and OCD's true meaning can help gain a better understanding about OCD and help raise its awareness.
Read people's stories and experiences and then, ask yourself if you knew what OCD really is.

How laser lipo works
Unlike liposuction, laser lipo is a minimally invasive and virtually painless procedure that works to tighten the skin and decrease cellulite. This is done by shrinking unwanted fat cells with a laser. The contents of the cells are then released into the body and flushed out naturally.
To achieve optimum weight loss, combine the laser lipo with a slenderising body wrap and lose an additional 3-6cm per treated area!

Raj Steam - The Indian Sub-Continent - On Line
Jan Willem van Dorp made several trips to India and Pakistan from 1983, as such he was later than many others. However, he almost invariably rode out and back on the trains and his is a different viewpoint from most of the existing contributors - there are no supershine engines and no runpasts on bridges.
The links below will open a new tab or window in your browser and take you directly to his contributions. When you come to the end of Jan Willem's pictures for one of the lines, close the window / tab and return to this page for the next one.
The collection is now complete, as I have now revisited his Nepal contribution as they have been rescanned to a much better quality..

Brookey 1/2 Marathon || July 27, 2013
I rarely get up before 7:30, and when I do it usually has something to do with a photo shoot. Today was one of those days that I woke up before the sun rose to capture an awesome photo opportunity. I must say though, I didn't get up hardly as early as my sister-in-law Brooke did! Today she ran a 1/2 marathon like champ! Here are some pics to show her amazing accomplishment:
Congratulations to Brooke! We're all so proud!
On another note, did anyone catch that orange half moon last night? Here's a couple of photographs - it was beautiful!

I was speaking at the Compost Council of Canada's 'Organics Recycling' Conference in Calgary on Monday. It was great show and I learned a lot about what is happening in the world of composting highlighted by the opening of the City of Calgary's massive new composting facility.
Yet, while these enormous are impressive, the conversion of organic "waste" to compost always operates at a microscopic level. A presentation on the microbiology of soils and composting reminded me that healthy soils are teeming with life. For example, a single teaspoon of soil holds more individual microorganisms than then the total number of people on earth! And one quarter of all of the earth's species live in soil.
So when you enrich the soil in your yard with compost, an incredibly diverse, an huge group of beneficial microbes team-up to improve your soil quality. The result is the plants in your yard are much healthier, more productive, and more resilient.
I'm often asked if compost should be applied in the fall to gardens. The answer is a resounding yes! Compost should be worked into the soil in the fall to increase soil organic matter so that it is available for plants to utilize first thing in the spring.
I like to add a 5 cm layer of SeaSoil compost to my garden in the fall. Even if I don't find the time to work it into the soil, it's rich, brown colour looks great as a "mulch". Besides, surface applied composts will still eventually work their way below the soil surface.
Remember that soils never rest. Soils lose organic matter if it's not added regularly. As the saying goes, "nature abhors a vacuum" which, with respect to soil, translates to "nature abhors bare soil". Adding your own compost or great alternative composts, like SeaSoil, to your garden keeps Mother Nature happy!

Samsung Philippines has debuted the Soundbar product line in the local market, announcing its suggested retail price during its launch held at One Global City in Taguig City.
Focused on bringing the cinematic experience to homes, the Korean electronics giant engineered the Soundbar lineup in the Samsung Audio Lab in California to help the product embody the next-generation of home theater experience.
Entering the soundbar market is the Soundbar with Dolby Atmos Technology (HW-K950) and the Soundbar Sound+ (HW-MS751 and HW-MS6501).
Soundbar with Dolby Atmos Technology (HW-K950)
The HW-K950 is equipped with a 5.1.4 channel system and houses a total of 15 speakers, each with dedicated amplifiers to enhance TV sound. It's the industry's first Soundbar package to include two Dolby Atmos-enabled up-firing speakers in the Soundbar and two wireless rear up-firing speakers.
Energized by Dolby Atmos technology, the K950 sits down consumers to experience sound that comes from all directions without the need of installing ceiling speakers. It also produces three-dimensional audio that crawls across the room. The Samsung Soundbar with Dolby Atmos Technology also uses wide-range tweeters.
The HW-K950 is capable of connecting the Soundbar wirelessly to your TV or smartphone without the clutter of cables. It automatically pairs wirelessly to the subwoofer and rear speaker units, even when your smartphone or cast devices connected to it. The Soundbar's Wi-Fi connectivity can also access from diverse sources using the Samsung Multiroom App.
Carrying six sound modes (Standard, Music, Movie, Clear Voice, Sports, and Night Mode), the K950's Surround Sound Expansion Plus allows upmixing of any content to Dolby Atmos level playing 4K content seamlessly to match cinematic sound with 4K picture quality.
Soundbar+ (HW-MS751 and HW-MS6501)
The HW-MS751 is Samsung's first Soundbar to embed the subwoofer directly into its compact body. It enters the market with 5 channels (front left, front right, center, top left and top right) and a total of 11 built-in speakers, each with dedicated amplifiers, including three wide-range tweeters, six woofers, and two vertical wide-range tweeters.
The vertical tweeters, which is situated on the top of the unit to spray sound upward, features a Height Channel Up-Mix technology that delivers 3-dimensional surround sound. The new Samsung Soundbar Sound+ uses Ultra High Quality (UHQ) 32-bit audio, providing a pleasantly crisp sound nearest to its original recording quality.
The Samsung Soundbar Sound+ delivers a powerful bass through the following features:
From August 10 to September 17, 2017, Samsung Philippines is giving freebies and discounts of up to 38% on select Soundbars.

Can you use a standard wireless printer with Square?
Accepted Solutions
As VanKalkerFarms answer states, Point of Sale is not compatible with standard desktop printers at this time. A possible solution might be to view your receipts on your online Dashboard after the transaction is complete and you can print them from there on a desktop printer.
Just click the Transaction and the Receipt will preview on the right-hand side. At the bottom, you'll see the receipt number (ex: Receipt #H8R5). Click that and it will show you the digital version of the receipt. From there you're good to print on the standard 8x11 printer paper.
*Note: We have had some Sellers complain about the receipts printing over too many pages when they want it to only print on one. The trick is to reduce the scale of the image within your printing options until it fits. (see screenshot)
Please let us know if you have any further questions!
Square Point of Sale only works with receipt printers, not desktop models like an inkjet or laserjet.
if you use the Square stand
if you don't use square stand or do use the square stand but don't want USB printers and cash drawers (they are more expensive)
printer https://amzn.com/B003O91EUY
drawer https://amzn.com/B00EUMNQTG
those are the 2 items I have 3 sets of that work great.
Just wondering is anyone has gotten any other cheaper receipt printers to work? The ones that are on the supported list are so expensive.
This reply was created from merging an existing thread: Has anyone gotten a cheaper non supported receipt printer to work?
@knotz I've moved your post to this thread discussing hardware alternatives. Are you using an iOS or Android device?
As Sean mentioned we are constantly on the look out for more affordable solutions but the supported hardware we list is tested and configured to work with Square Point of Sale.
In the meantime you might find a bargain for a supported printer on Amazon/eBay.
So ive tried every work around i can find on the internet and all to no avail.
The supported square receipt printers are unecessarily overpriced.
A simple print button on the tablet application would allow us to connect to a local or network printer and print the same form data. Why is this still impossible? Why can we still not utilize our desktop or local printers to print receipt data from the app?
It is a simple process all I can think is that square gets a percentage of royalties from their supported printer sales and thats why they are locking everything down to these ridiculously overpriced pieces of equipment.
Im on the verge of just going with another pos system as this is unecessarily convoluted.
Hi @McNabbGames — I went ahead and combined your thread with another seller's who had a similar question. I can assure you that we're always looking into more affordable hardware options for our sellers. As for the technical explanation, from my limited understanding (I'm not an engineer), each printer manufacturer has a specific driver for their hardware, and since manufacturers don't build printer drivers for Square Point of Sale, we would have to build one for each printer model - which is something we don't have the bandwidth to do.
Re: Why does the square reader not just have a simple print button?
The printer that Square supports is one of the largest used brands in the receipt printer market. They are not getting kickbacks on printers as the printers are sold by hundreds of places including Amazon, and the buyer doesn't know you are buying it to print with Square as the printer is also used by 100s of other POS systems. More printer options would always be better, but as this is one of the industry standard printers it only makes sense they support it.
A printer costs money and is an investment in your business. It currently is about $200 on amazon and we have had 3 printers for 4 years now and they are still going strong 50,000+ receipts later.
But for those of us who need a portable battery operated printer they offer no support, they could offer at least one.
Hey @lynnisaw, sorry about the delay!
If you are using an iPad we do have a number of compatible Bluetooth printers. You can find them our Support Center article Supported Hardware for iPads. 😃
But my point is that an adding machine paper-receipt looks unprofessional in some businesses. An inexpensive ink jet or better, a multitasking network office printer that is already in use would make a LOT more sense for me. I'm sure they are robust and work fine, they just don't suit my business and I don't like being so limited in the TYPE of printer I can use.

So, what have YOU transformed?
At a recent networking event, a colleague of mine challenged me with a question that seems very appropriate to share at this time of year. "So tell me, what you have transformed?" Truthfully, it is a great question that makes one stop and think for a minute.
As we head into 2011, the employment headlines, American automobile sales results, and just about every other alert I get is telling me that 2011 is already going to be a better year than 2010. But let's not leave anything up to chance.
If 2011 is going to be better than 2010, it will be because of what we do to make it that way. For those of us who are engaged in change management endeavors, business transformation activities, or just making things better in the future than they are in the past, ask yourself "What have you transformed?" And might I suggest that you be critical of yourself in the past and aim high in 2011.

New way of thinking
I was in a hotel room in Pennsylvania with several men of God when one of them spoke something that readjusted my thinking forever. You see, I have a natural tendency to strive to work hard to be a man of God, a good husband, and a good father; so when this phrase was spoken it literally took me a moment to get it. Leif Hetlund said, "There is something in the nothing." Leif was saying that we all long to see the fruit of what we do, but there are times when we have to trust that God is doing a work even when we can't feel it, hear it, smell it or see it quite yet.
It's the principal of seed + time = harvest. We wish that every time we open the Bible that things would jump out at us, but in reality we may read a verse a hundred times and the first time may have been the planting of the seed and finally it was time to gather the harvest. Did you waste your time reading it the other 99 times, no? We wish every time we sit before God He would take out the things in our lives that are hindering us or that He would speak so clear to us, did you waste your time if it doesn't happen? No! There is something in the nothing. Something is happening even though we feel nothing is happening.
A farmer plants a seed and sees nothing happen for days and at times weeks but something is happening below the surface. My challenge for us today is don't get frustrated that there has not been a harvest on the seeds of prayer, reading your word, evangelism but trust the the God of the Harvest is not mocked you will reap what you sow and harvest time is coming. (Gal 6:7-10)

Taking advantage of one of Finland's public holidays, Brigitte and I recently loaded our bikes onto the Metro, travelled three stops to the east, and explored the Roihuvuori section of Herttoniemi (according to Wikipedia many of the streets in Roihuvuori are named after fairy tale characters – something to look out for next time!). We were looking for the 152 blossoming cherry trees that were sponsored by the Japanese residents of Helsinki back in 2008. We found the trees after exploring much of the neighbourhood – and it looked like our timing was correct as the trees were in full bloom. For those interested, there is an annual Cherry Blossom Festival (Hamani) held in the park each spring (one week before we were there – details and map here). I only found out now that there is also Japanese-style garden in the same suburb (at Roihuvuorentie 12-16) – something to look for on a later date.
We then cycled down through Ströminlahdenpuisti (a very recently renovated park) to the surprisingly beautiful Strömsinlahti bay. The swimming beach there looks like a really nice spot for cooling down in summer and the stretch of forest to the west was wonderfully cool and shady too.
We then headed for the Kulosaari Metro station, popping first past the gardens of the Herttoniemi manor house (some more info in Finnish on Wikipedia). We briefly enjoyed how beautiful the gardens are now – when we first visited there two months ago much of the park was still under ice. Then we skirted some rather nice new apartment blocks around the Tuorinniemenpuito (puisto = park). It turned out to be a rather interesting route, full of surprises – if you can, give it a try while the weather is good!
[another panorama below… I look forward to returning here when the water is warm enough for a swim!]

Atlas Supply Co
As soon as we came across Atlas Supply Co we were dying to know more about their beautifully designed products and the story behind this creative leather goods brand. To learn more we sit down with co-founder and business manager Stephen Hepner.
How did you get started with Atlas Supply Co?
We've been working non-traditional jobs for about 3 years. There is no office to go to everyday, there is no set schedule of 9-5, our work is basically our lifestyle. Working with small businesses, for us, means there isn't a team of people to handle all different aspects of the operation. We are the design department, the photo department, the sourcing department, the inventory managers, the marketing department, the tech team, there are meetings to go to and all of this needs to be handled 24/7…on the go.
Between packing around our camera, our laptops, and our two kidlets, we had some luggage issues. We had laptop bags that didn't fit our cameras and camera bags that didn't fit our laptops and bags that fit both but were huge and bulky and the whole lot of them were not incredibly professional looking.
We felt like so many people were in the same position as us: the chronic entrepreneurs, those mom and pop shops, and those hobbyists that found their hobbies actually making them a living. There seemed to be this whole category of people that weren't being catered to in terms of their lifestyle. So we decided to fill the void ourselves. We had no experience in bag/fashion industry so we blogged our way through the process. We envision Atlas not only be a place for creative professional goods, but also a community for entrepreneurs. We hope to share resources, advice, and inspiration from some of our favorite creatives.
What's one of the biggest challenges you've faced along the way?
Our biggest challenge at first was getting started. We had no experience in pattern making, leather goods, backpacks, frankly the closest thing we've come to something like this is sewing a button back on to a well-used shirt. I think I sat on it for 3 months before I finally got up the courage to start, and I truly wish that I would've started sooner. Now our biggest challenge is waiting (for product to be made and shipped).
What would you say has been one of your biggest "wins"?
Validation. When we started, we weren't 100% sure if even one other person had a need for this pack like we did. When we started sporting around our sample bags, people walking on the street would come up to us and ask us where we got it. Security line checkers would comment on how different or cool it was. Professionals in business meetings would ask to try it out. It has been the most satisfying thing to have created something that solved not just our own problem, but others as well.
Any advice for others looking to start out?
It's funny how many times the saying from Miss Frizzle from The Magic School Bus has come to mind while creating our own business and helping others with theirs. Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy. It can be so overwhelming to start out and you keep thinking "it's not perfect yet, it won't work unless it's perfect". But it's not a math equation that has one answer and that's the pathway you take to success. It's a constantly changing battle of trial and error. If you love it and you want it – go for it.
Lastly – where can we find you on social media?
You can usually find us on Instagram @atlassupply.co and on Facebook. You can find me on Instagram @stephen_hep, our designer is @saltandember and our videographer is @janaeallred.

Problems with fertility may be caused by many things. To figure out what may be causing problems, your doctor will do a fertility evaluation. This may include a review of your medical history, physical exam, blood tests, and other diagnostic tests. The purpose of the evaluation is to find out if you are producing an egg, if the egg can travel to your uterus, and if your partner's sperm is healthy. The evaluation will help your doctor make a diagnosis and recommend the best treatment.
Medical History and Lifestyle
Your doctor will ask about your:
• Periods
• Past pregnancies
• Birth control history
• Current sexual patterns
• History of medicines
• History of surgeries
• History of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• History of health problems and symptoms
• Lifestyle
Physical Exam
Your doctor will examine your:
• Thyroid gland. A gland that feels abnormal may be a sign of a hormone imbalance.
• Face and body for hair growth. Extra hair may be a sign of a hormone imbalance.
• Breasts. Your doctor will look at the size and shape and will also check for discharge, which may be a sign of a hormone imbalance.
• Vagina and other reproductive organs for growths, sores, discharge, and infection. You may also have a Pap smear.
Hormone Tests
Many hormones play a part in ovulation. If hormone levels are too high or too low, there may be problems with ovulation. Hormone levels may be checked with blood samples.
Cervical Mucus Tests
The mucus in your cervix may be tested to see if sperm can travel through it. The mucus may also be tested for infections.
Diagnostic Images of Reproductive Organs
Here are some ways your doctor may look at your organs:
• Ultrasound. An ultrasound will show the thickness of the endometrium, development of eggs, and the condition of the uterus and ovaries. Fibroids and cysts may be detected.
• Hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Guided by X-rays, your doctor will inject dye into the uterus, which may show an unusually shaped uterus, scar tissue, or blockages in the fallopian tubes.
• Laparoscopy (lappa-RAW-skuh-pee). After making a small cut below the navel, your doctor will insert a laparoscope, which is like a tiny telescope. Your doctor will view the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries to check for blocked tubes, scar tissue, and endometriosis.
• Hysteroscopy (hista-RAW-skuh-pee). Your doctor will insert a hysteroscope, which is like a tiny telescope, through the vagina and into the uterus. Your doctor will then check for fibroids, scar tissue, and polyps.
If your doctor finds a problem, minor surgery may be done right away to take care of it.
The Right Diagnosis
Most fertility problems can be diagnosed, and most can be treated with drug therapy or surgery. The right diagnosis will help you get the best treatment.
Cervix (SUR-vix): The lower, narrow end of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Cysts: Sacs filled with fluid on the ovaries.
Endometriosis (en-doe-me-tree-OHsus): A condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it.
Fallopian (fuh-LO-pee-un) Tubes: The tubes in which sperm fertilizes an egg after it is released from an ovary.
Fibroids (FY-broidz): Noncancerous growths in the uterus.
Hormones: Chemicals made by the body.
Ovaries (OH-vur-eez): The two glands on the sides of the uterus. They produce eggs and hormones. Ovulation (aw-view-LAY-shun): When the ovary releases a mature egg into a fallopian tube. The egg travels through this tube to the uterus.
Polyps (PAUL-ups): Noncancerous growths in the lining of the uterus.
Uterus (YOU-dur-us): Where a fertilized egg (embryo) grows during pregnancy.

Chip Shots: Testing 2015 Drivers a Real Early Spring Treat
Every year most major golf club companies launch their latest and greatest equipment offerings, and the drivers are the most anticipated of the bunch. Well, 2015 is no exception, with many fine clubs boasting technological advancements promising to help golfers like us hit the ball straighter and farther.
For the past two winters I've spent time on YouTube watching people with golf channels test the new drivers, and I'll be honest, I was pretty envious. I mean, what avid golfer wouldn't want to have a chance at swinging the new sticks like that?
Well, this year I vowed to do something about it, so I came up with the idea of a Chip Shots Driver Testing, and contacted my friends Joe Perdue at Hidden Meadows and Michael Clendenning at Barnes Brook.
They agreed to provide 2015 demo clubs, Michael offered me the use of his Full Swing Simulator, and the first-ever Chip Shots Driver Testing became a reality. Pretty much every other driver evaluation I've found online features pros or near-scratch golfers hitting the new clubs and sharing results. The only problem with this, in my mind, is that most of us are not as good as they are, and the results they share may not translate to the recreational or mid-handicap golfer.
I recruited four other golfers, ranging in age from mid-forties to mid-sixties, and handicaps from high single digit to high double digit. The evaluation included each person hitting each driver five times, and then taking a screen shot of the data recorded by the Full Swing Simulator (including launch angle, ball speed, carry distance, total distance). I also had each tester grade the clubs on a scale of 1-10 for look/style, look at address, feel, sound and total score. They were also encouraged to write comments.
The clubs we had to test were: Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815, Callaway XR, Mizuno JPX 850, Nike Covert (2014 model), TaylorMade Aeroburner, TaylorMade R15, Titleist 915 D3, and Wilson D100 (2014 model).
After all the swings were swung, and every tester scored each driver, two drivers came out on top. The highest rated driver was the Titleist 915 D3, followed closely by the Taylormade R15. If you want to see how each club performed for the testers, you can click here to open a PDF with all the screen shots from the Full Swing Simulator. If you want to see the results from the tester evaluations click here.
My favorite driver was the Titleist 915 D3, by far, which is the smaller version with the 440cc head. It looked great at address, felt solid, and all five of my hits with it resulted in drives that stayed in the fairway and were long, for me. I averaged 264 yards, with one drive topping out at 272 yards. (I later went back to Barnes Brook and spent an hour testing my current gamer, the Adams Speedline Fast 12 LS against the Titleist 915 D3. The 915 D3 was 5-7 yards longer, on average, but I came away happy with my driver, as it averaged nearly 260 yards and was very accurate. If someone was to give me a 915 D3, I would use it, but I can't justify the $450 expense for a few extra yards at this point in time).
Here are a few takeaways:
1. Different drivers are better for different people. That's why it is so important get fit for your clubs by a PGA professional. There are a lot of variables to take into consideration, and if you are going to spend hundreds of dollars, don't you want to get the best clubs for your skill level/swing type?
2. Of all things, don't neglect the importance of the shaft. I've heard it referred to as the "engine" of the driver, and I believe this to be true. Part of your fitting should include putting different shafts into the various driver club heads to see which works best for you.
Many local courses have professional club fitting services. As mentioned previously, Barnes Brook in Enfield and Hidden Meadows in Old Town can assist you. Other Bangor area courses that have Pro Shops and club fitting services include Bangor Municipal Golf Course, Hermon Meadow Golf Club, Penobscot Valley Country Club, and Traditions Golf Club and Learning Center. This is only a partial list, so I recommend you call your local course to see what they have to offer. It will be worth your time, trust me.
All in all, the morning was a blast and getting to hit so many quality clubs was more fun than I had imagined. I'd like to thank my testers: Colby, Dana, Dee, and Kevin, for taking a Saturday morning to swing the big sticks. I also want to thank Joe and Mike for their support of this idea.

Geat site, thanks! I'm still playing catch-up, trying to learn about her as fast as I can. The only thing I'm unsure of is how to offer her non-insect food. Somebody on chameleonforums.com said to just clip leaves of whatever green stuff I am offering to her branches, which I can easily do. But I saw on one of the sites that I should occasionally offer her fruit as well, and I'm not sure how to present that. Do I put it in a dish, or try to attach it to a branch? If I offer it in a dish, do I put the dish up high on one of the branches, and how finely do I chop up the fruit?

Sacked Out
Here's a fun creative game I came up with for a digital marketing agency recently. Their CEO was stressing over an important presentation. He wanted that extra zip-zap-pow factor but nothing was coming. So I got out my handy-dandy hacky sack and had their team get in a circle and start tossing it around. No fancy footwork, just a toss. A minute later I asked them to answer this question: "What makes this company better, unique or different?" As the hacky sack traveled around, everyone took their shot. The responses were all over the place — words like "fun," "unpredictable," or "not critical," to less-obvious choices like "musical" and "Tiki Bar."
The next day the CEO relayed both the story and its outcomes to big laughs and rave reviews. So simple, right? My takeaway: Create experiences that feed into the truth of your company and you create something lasting, valuable… and not boring.

The funny thing is, before marsala was the Pantone color of the year, I was already obsessed. So, when I opened my Christmas present from my bestie, she had gathered a lovely group of marsala colored items together including this fabulous midi skirt with a lovely lace slip.
Cheers, to having a best friend who knows you too well.
If it were up to me, Pantone would have called this color wine.
More specifically, cabernet.
Pantone says that marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. It is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us into it's embracing warmth.
Sounds a lot like a good, cheap glass of cab to me.
Wearing - marsala skirt from Target, chambray tied at the natural waist from TJ Maxx, clutch by C. Wonder, boots by Crown Vintage, earrings from J. Crew, bracelet by BaubleBar, styled with a simple fishtail braid and lip color via BirchBox.
Alright, now i'll take the chicken.
Eternally hungry.
Until we eat again - Jodi

The revised EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) Article 20 has come into force Every day we are being asked the question – "How do I get compliant labels for our e-liquids?" It seems, as with many EU Directives, clarification and clear guidelines allude us.
The 20th May 2017 deadline has passed, the sky hasn't fallen but uncompliant e-liquid should, in theory, are no longer. Everything must now be in order, the leftover stock will likely either be discarded or sold at bargain basement prices. The e-liquid industry has come up with some solutions to 10ml maximum bottle size, and we have come up with e-liquid packaging supplies to help them.
We have researched and read as much information as we can find on the implications of the TPD. Whilst we are happy to offer advice and guidance on the packaging and labelling aspects of the TPD we tend to signpost our customers to the Electronic Cigarette Industry Trade Association (ECITA) and the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), who is the Competent Authority for TPD in the UK, if they are looking for non-label specific advice and guidance.
Anything we write about TPD does not constitute legal advice, it is just our understanding of the current situation.
The TPD and Labelling Requirements
When it comes to professionally printed e-liquid labels these are what we believe to be the key points:
- Only E-liquids that contain nicotine are covered by the TPD
- E-liquids with a nicotine content of over 2% will not be allowed
- If your e-liquid contains nicotine then it cannot be sold in bottle sizes greater than 10ml
- You have a period of grace until May 2017 to sell your "old stock" of larger bottles of e-liquid
- There will be stricter testing of e-liquids with every flavour subjected to an emissions test and a notification process with the MHRA.
- The notification process for new flavours comes into effect from 20th May 2016.
- There is a period of grace for notification of existing flavours until November 2016.
TPD Packaging Solutions
The biggest issue that we have come across is that selling a single 10ml bottle with all the information that is now needed is completely impossible on a single ply label.
- The Peel and Reveal label
The Peel and Reseal label, also known as a Peel and Read label or 2-ply label offers three surfaces for print – the front of the label, the inside of the front and the revealed surface. This has become the go-to label for all the major e-juice companies.
Having been supplying Peel and Reveal labels for many years to customers in the beauty and healthcare sectors where labelling has to fulfil many different functions. The challenge was a 10ml bottle has a tighter circumference and no flat surface. This meant we had to get a little clever with the construction but now we've perfected it and print millions with a fully integrated tactile.
The Peel and Reveal label has offered an ideal solution for e-juice manufacturers who are producing e-liquids containing nicotine. With enough space for all the information needed, warning symbols and messages, ingredients list and the rest of text included on the inside you still have space for your branding. The problem of selling one 10ml bottle is solved for now.
- The Patient Information Leaflet & Carton
The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL), or Product Information Leaflet, is printed on thin paper. At this time 04-05-2017 doesn't need to be pharmaceutical grade paper. This can be folded down into 16 pages to achieve a finished size of approximately 30mm x 30mm.
You can choose from single or multi-fold or perforated options. This precision printed and folded document can then be easily fitted into a carton.
The PIL offers all the space needed to list health warnings and ingredients as well as instructions for use and your own branding. This means that you will only need a single ply label with a tactile on your bottle.
In the UK PILs have been a legal requirement for companies supplying over‑the‑counter and prescribed medication since 1999. We have years of experience of supplying this solution for companies in the pharmaceutical sector and know how effective they can when content is driven by legislation.
- Printed Cartons Options
Cartons have been used in the e-liquid industry for a while, we have spent the lots of time getting to know what cartons you needed printing. Our conclusions:-
– Cartons that fit an individual bottle and a PIL
– Cartons fitting three bottles and a PIL
– Ready made sale boxes, that can contain them both.
Next steps…
If you already have the single ply or peel and reseal labels un-tactiled they will need the clear triangle warning label applied.
Still, have a supply of larger bottles? One idea doing the rounds is to sell a 10ml nicotine shot with a larger bottle of flavoured juice.
Use variable print labels and a thermal transfer printer to print the strength on labels for those e-liquid flavours that are currently over 2%.
If you are about to place an order, read the EU directive here now it's likely that this will be cut and pasted into UK legislation so it's the most accurate thing we have now.
Request a sample of our Peel and Reveal Labels to assess how they could work for you.
The TPD and Advertising
According to the Department of Health, it will be against the law to advertise or promote those products covered by the TPD directly or indirectly in the following media:-
- TV including on-demand TV
- Radio
- Display adverts on the internet
- Commercial e-mail
- Text messages
- Newspapers, magazines and periodicals with the exception of trade publications
- Certain types of sponsorship and product placement.
An update posted on the Committee for Advertising Practice (CAP) on 16th February 2016 states that they have received an increase in enquiries on the effect of the TPD legislation. Whilst they wanted to provide clarity they make the following statement: "the legislative picture is still developing and is complex because of the products which are (and are not) affected, the varying likely impact of the law on ads in different types of media and because of the differing approach being taken by the Scottish Government to the rest of the UK."
It would appear that the confusion continues to reign!
The CAP state that from their understanding of the legislation, except in Scotland, the following media are unlikely to be subjected to the advertising ban:
- Leaflets
- Outdoor media such as posters and livery on buses
- Cinema advertising
- Fax
- Direct hard copy mail
- Information on marketers' own websites
A number of our customers have expressed concern over exactly what they will be able to print on the labels for their e-liquid bottles once the legislation comes into force. With around 7000 flavours for vapers to choose from the market for e-liquid is highly competitive. Manufacturers and suppliers use the packaging of their products to help their brand stand out from the crowd – the labels have been a key element of their marketing. There are fears that TPD will change all that.
If the legislation goes the same way as tobacco products then potentially all the creative elements of the labelling – the branding and key messages – will have to be hidden from view. There is an added complication for e-liquid. The limitations on the size of bottles that can be used means the space available on the label is just a fraction of the size of a cigarette packet. The reality is that it will be a struggle to show the health warnings and the list of ingredients on a 10ml bottle label let alone any marketing information!
Any questions?

The game of soccer demands speed, vigor, and stamina that you can get only by adhering to recommended exercises for men and by rigorously following the suggested diet chart for men. In the season of soccer, we provide you the complete inside information on how the famous football players stay energized and strong for their most beloved sport.
1. The most essential nutrient that the famous football players sustain is carbohydrates. The forward players like Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar need abundant of energy to showcase their attacking talents hence they carbohydrates account for about 45 to 65 percent of their daily caloric intake. Instead of sugary food and drinks that provide instant dozes of energy, players prefer to have refined alternatives like whole-grain bread, legumes, beans, and cereals that contain more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Avoid fried potatoes, pastries, cakes, and other junk foods are often high in calories but low in vitamins and minerals.
2. Defenders and other key soccer players including goalies like Manuel Neuer, David de Gea, and Sergio Ramos cannot afford to gain weight, as overweight players tend to tire easily and have less endurance on the field. These players tend to avoid high-fat foods in the diet as the fatty foods take a longer time to digest and directly affect the performance during the crucial practice sessions.
3. In the game of soccer where you are prone to injuries, an early recovery is considered as a sign of good health. According to the diet charts followed by the leading football players, 10 to 15 percent of their caloric intake comes from protein, the most common food items in the post-game meal are fish, eggs, low-fat dairy products, with nuts.
4. The breakfast, as a pre-game meal should combine both proteins with carbohydrates like a turkey sandwich or scrambled eggs on whole- grain bread or a pancake and a smoothie made with low-fat yogurt and fresh fruit, or a banana with peanut butter.
5. As soccer players sweat profusely during the game or in the practice sessions, it is highly recommended to rehydrate the body by consuming juices, sports drinks, and beverages that help to replenish the lost electrolytes.

Mother Nature has been another kind of mother to to California lately, first with the intense, state-wide wildfires and now, with the coming of intense rains, California is having to deal with flooding and mudslides. Combine mudslides with windy, hilly neighborhood roads, and you get things like this, where a Prius becomes a river ride.
Burbank Firefighters Local 778 shot the video of the Prius sliding down the road, and posted it to Instagram:
The video was shot in Burbank, where the surge of muddy water carries the Prius down the street like a raft on a whitewater expedition.
The owner of the car posted his own video right after the wild ride:
No car handles well when carried downhill by a torrent of muddy water. The combination of landscapes denuded of vegetation by wildfires and torrential rain is a very dangerous combo, so be careful out there, my Californian pals.

Intel finally admits that their 28-core CPU demo was overclocked - confusing marketing all around
Intel 'forgot' to mention that their system was overclocked
Published: 8th June 2018 | Source: Tom's Hardware |
Intel admits that their 28-core CPU demo was overclocked - confusing marketing all around
In recent interviews, Intel PR representatives have confirmed that "in the excitement of the moment" that Intel's Gregory Bryant "forgot" to mention that their demo system was overclocked, a detail which was present on the company's teleprompter for the event. This detail is a convenient omission, one which completely changes how Intel's demo was presented to those at the conference, though it is not a change outside of the realm of possibility.
At the start of their demo, Intel stated that "Without further ado, I would like to present to you a new 28-core processor" and later in the demo, Bryant discussed the possibilities of a processor that offered the benefits of both high single-threaded performance and multi-threaded performance. What's never mentioned in the demo is that the system was heavily overclocked and that the system required an industrial-grade water cooler to operate.
Tom's Hardware has reported that they were unable to get a private demo of Intel's insane 28-cores at 5GHz demo because the area where the system was located "simply didn't have enough dedicated circuits for the task", confirming that the system guzzled an insane amount of power.
Tom's Hardware has also been able to nail down some other details about Intel's new processor, something that has been suspected but so far unverified. Intel confirmed that their 28-core was a 14nm product that will target professional workstations and hasn't decided what product series it will fall into.
Intel's product demo was accompanied by an image which showcased the words "28 core", and a gamer wearing a headset and was presented inside a system with a Gigabyte Aorus-branded prototype motherboard and RGB Aorus memory, things that don't scream "professional workstation" to anyone.
The best explanation for Intel's demo was that they wanted to steal the thunder from AMD's Threadripper 2 reveal, as at the time most onlookers were expecting AMD to reveal a 24-core processor as their new flagship, not a 32-core CPU. Intel focused on their highest-core count CPU at clock speeds that are higher than what Ryzen 2nd Generation processors can achieve, rather than focus on revealing a consumer-oriented product with a defined user base and a realistic cooling setup.
The contrast here is that AMD presented their 32-core and 24-core CPU demos on air cooling using understood professional workloads, whereas Intel delivered a single benchmark result with a system that was so heavily overclocked that it required an industrial strength water cooler.
You can join the discussion on Intel's admission that their 28-core product demo was overclocked on the OC3D Forums.

If you even stopped for one second to think about the logistics? it's close to impossible. I don't mean you with that, Mark, but you would need a 360 rad just to cool the CPU.Quote
Intel's hasn't explained anything about their 28-core CPU well. They "forgot" to mention that the system was overclocked and that the PC required an industrial liquid cooler to function.

It's honestly like April Fool's day in bloody June.

My 7980XE uses 3 x 480mm rads because that was what happened to be in the system I used, having said that the CPU does run quite cool when oced.
The point with this 28 core intel CPU is it will have special requirements but that won't bother anyone who wants to buy one.
Word of caution, mesh on the latest intel CPUs is crap when it comes to driving GPUs, far better to get a 8700k.Quote
Imagine adding an SLI setup on top of that!
This was all a "Hey look we not falling behind cos we have this unworkable concept"
I want to put a threadripper 2 on that cooling system and see what happensQuote
I don't see the big deal, we all knew the CPU would be overclocked and you need water to do it justice.
Would be interesting to see how far it can be clocked on water without reaching insane temps though.Quote
I read somewhere that the water cooling unit consumes over 1000 watts and the mobo had a 1300 watt PSU. 2300 watts!
Imagine adding an SLI setup on top of that!

It was really daft of Intel to do this. It literally took even the slowest of reporters about two hours to realise that Intel had pulled the wool over their eyes.

Know Your Audience: Encouraging use of Linked Data
This is the first blog post by Sarah, who has has been working with us on some copywriting, marketing and sales activities. Some of Sarah's work has recently featured on our new website.
Linked Data rocks. It's the ideal technology for representing data on the web. However that message is spreading relatively slowly and it's not being used as much as it could be. As Linked Data fans, what can we do about it?
It all starts and ends with the user of the data. If we know what data they want, and what they want to do with it, then we can make sure we provide data access in a way that suits them.
But who are they? Current Linked Data users split roughly into four types:
- the information seeker: someone who just wants to know about a specific topic and who like visualisations and tables;
- the researcher: an analyst who wants access to the raw data but prefers to use Excel and other mainstream tools;
- the web developer: a programmer who wants to create their own visualisations or apps and generally likes JSON APIs;
- the Linked Data expert: who wants a SPARQL endpoint so they can really get to the bones of the data.
The last group is small on numbers when compared to the others but they are the group that a lot of current Linked Data is aimed at. Many Linked Data publishing initiatives have a few words of introduction and a text box for a SPARQL query, which is grand for the experts but not so great for everyone else. And even these RDF loving experts still need something more from data providers so they can get up to speed with the data quickly. Often it's this group, and the web developer group, who use the raw data to create something understandable and accessible for the other groups.
Developers deserve a good user experience too. Yes, they have programming skills, they may be well used to working with data and some of them may even be SPARQL experts (though in our experience most aren't). But they need to spend time understanding the structure of data, how it is interconnected, the data modeling patterns that have been employed and so on. Examples that they can copy, paste and adapt are a big help in getting started.
Anything the data publisher can do to make that process quicker and easier will pay itself back many times in the lifetime of the data. It is a good investment for those who understand the data in detail to provide as much useful information as possible, rather than requiring each individual user to do that work themselves.
So what's the way forward?
- Good documentation - both about the data and about ways of accessing it.
- Follow best practices and standard patterns - because it makes things more predictable for data users.
- Recognise that there are different types of audience for the data and try to meet the needs of all of them.
- Connect different views of the data so people can follow links from one view to another.
The strength of Linked Data is that it is easy to generate slices of data (possibly combining multiple sources) in a variety of formats. We should exploit that strength to offer the data to different audiences in the formats they prefer. That's our philosophy and we're currently working on enhancing the data presentation features in PublishMyData to meet that goal.
We'd love it if you shared this article.

Keys 2&3
Hi I will give this a go Thanks
Sorry ive been unable to post until now. I've put all the keys next to each other: 1- Remotely unlocks and starts the engine. (Forgot to add earlier that this key also does total closure to all Windows and sunroof) 2- unlocks the door by drivers door barrel. Does not start the car. This key came with the car when I bought it. 3- Replacement key ordered using chassis no with Main Dealer. Same function as key no. 2.
When i bought the car, I got one key that remotely unlocks & starts the car. This key does not unlock the via the door barrel The other key unlocks via the door barrel and does not start the car.
Must have been done by a previous owner. I can't see BMW incorrectly cutting the key when it unlocks/locks from the barell on the drivers door. What about ordering the correct barell for the Ignition, how much of a headache would that be to install? I presume it would need coding too?
I'm really sorry but I haven't written this post well at all. The replacement key from BMW when placed in the barrel does not turn into 1st position. It only unlocks & locks manually. Thanks
Hi I got a key ordered through BMW and gave them the chassis number to have it made. I just can't figure out why it won't start the car? Thanks for your replies
Ignition key help - What are my options?
Kalpesh posted a topic in E39 1996-2004Hello, I recently lost my key, the "spare" I got when I bought the car let's me manually unlock the car only. Bracing myself about the cost of the replacement I remembered I had a certain policy that I didn't cancel on time. I rang them up and they approved the cost of the replacement. I had to wait a couple of days for the replacement, in that time my lost key was found. A day later went to pick up the new key, came home put the new key away safely as I had my "main" key in my possession again. A little time later spotted the new key and thought I'd program it, only to find out that the new key did nothing apart from slot into the ignition barrel. - My "main remotely unlocks/locks & Starts the engine. - The second key that came with the car, unlocks/locks the car through the barrel on the door. - The replacement key unlocks/locks the car through the barrel on the door. So I'm lost and don't know what to do, next time I lose my key I might not be so lucky to find it and having 2 additional keys that won't even start the engine will cause me some stress. Any advice please? Thanks Kalp

V8 Valve Covers
Kalpesh posted a topic in E39 1996-2004Hi Are the 540i pre-vanos valve covers the same as the vanos ones? Thanks Kalp
I paid at the time £102 inc delivery
I ended up purchasing from Cotswold fired up 1st time and got a 2 year warranty. The previous makes I bought were Meyle lasted 4/5 months and the other Fuel Parts which didn't work at all.
Its not, I'll have to price up and get on from BMW many thanks
Brand New Camshaft Position Sensor problem
Kalpesh posted a topic in E39 1996-2004Hello, I'm having problems with a new camshaft position sensor. Around six months or so ago I replaced it then until recently I started getting problems where the car would fire up then stall. This would happen about 5/6 times then eventually the engine runs. I took the car to my local BMW Indy and diagnosed the sensor is faulty, he told me he left it disconnected and to come back when I got a replacement. So I purchased a new sensor and read up how to install it and installed it myself. I turned the ignition on and the car would not start. It would just tick over. I turn off the ignition unclip the top connector of the CPS and turned on the ignition and the car starts. I put the clip back on and the engine stalls. Has anybody experienced this, or someone who can guide me on what to look at and rectify this problem Many thanks Kalp

Business owners will likely sign many legally binding contracts over the course of their career. Contracts are often full of legal jargon and overly-complicated phrasing, which might tempt you to sign without analyzing its terms.
However, the contract may contain a clause that can come back to haunt your company. Before you agree to the terms, be aware of what you and the other party must do to fulfill your promises. There are a couple key strategies to reviewing contracts.
Check when it ends
A contract usually contains rules that tell you when the contract will cease. Look for the termination clauses to see how you can stop the agreement. If the other party breaches the contract, you should be able to end the contract as soon as you can. Also, take note of your own actions that could cause termination.
Some contracts may automatically renew on a certain date. Read through the document to make sure you know how to cancel a renewal.
See how it changes
The other party might be willing to take advantage of business owners who don't understand their contract. For example, a vendor could raise the cost of their services over time and claim that the terms allowed them to revise the contract without your approval. Make sure that changes to your ongoing contract must have your approval first.
Have a professional translate
Many business owners don't have time to learn legal jargon and potential implications. If the contract was drafted by the other party, it may be in your best interest to ask a business litigation attorney to review the document on your behalf.
In the future, your contract will provide a solid foundation for your working relationship with the other party. A court will most certainly examine its terms if you eventually face a dispute. This is why anyone who signs a contract should know exactly how it will affect their company down the line.

It's drinkable, but it doesn't have the carbonation that makes kombucha so lovable yet. It took two weeks for it to ferment to the perfect tartness for my taste buds and now I have to wait.
