We all know very well about the Red Bull Air Race. It is a world famous aviation competition. Every year the exciting game has been appealing lots of fans of aviation. Mika Brageot is one of the competitor of the game and he is also the main Breitling pilot for Red Bull Air Race.
For all players, they just fight for honor and glory. They are also the record brokers and challengers. The 45 mm case is made of Breitlight which is a lightweight proprietary polymer material re-enforced by composite fibers.
Excellent Designs And Innovation
The watch is screwed down on case back and front with a blue sapphire crystal which provide with waterproof on both side. So the watch will provides with 100 meters water resistance. unidirectional ratcheted bezel with white Arabic numerals and a screw-locked crown with two gaskets.
Black rubber straps Breitling fake watches have a black dial with white Arabic numerals that have smaller white/red numerals for a 24-hour scale. The main hour numerals and the hands are filled with luminescent coating. The date indicator was set at 3 o'clock.
As a whole, every man should have a try with all these gorgeous replica watches. And you will receive a totally different life as well.

Definition of Trace Minerals
Minerals are inorganic compounds that are needed in small amounts by the body. Minerals do not provide calories, so they do not supply the body with energy, but they help the body maintain normal physiological function and carry out various processes. Minerals are divided into two classes: major minerals and trace minerals.
Major Minerals Versus Trace Minerals
The major minerals get their name from the fact that you require more of them in your body. The recommended daily allowance of the major minerals varies from hundreds of milligrams to thousands of milligrams per day. Major minerals include sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and sulfur.
The body requires trace minerals in smaller amounts than major minerals. Recommended daily values for trace minerals do not exceed 20 mg per day. The trace minerals include iron, zinc, selenium, fluoride, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese and molybdenum. "Nutrition and You" by Joan Salge Blake notes that although trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts, they are just as important as the major minerals 1.
Iron is the most abundant trace mineral in the body as well as the trace mineral with the highest recommended daily intake. Iron is essential for the proper formation of red blood cells, the transportation of oxygen and proper brain function. Iron is available in two forms: heme and non-heme. Heme iron is found in foods from animal sources, such as meat, poultry and fish. Non-heme iron is found in plant sources, such as vegetables and grains. Women between the ages of 19 and 50 need 18 mg of iron daily, because significant iron is lost during menstruation. Adult men of the same age require 8 mg of iron per day.
The trace mineral zinc has the second highest recommended daily value. Women should aim to consume 8 mg of zinc daily and men should consume 11 mg of zinc per day. Zinc helps keep the immune system healthy, allows proper wound healing and allows you to taste. Zinc is also needed for proper DNA synthesis, growth and development. Red meat, seafood and whole grains are the best sources of zinc.
Other Trace Minerals
The other trace minerals are needed in very small amounts and needs are usually easily met by consuming a varied, balanced diet, according to the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension 3. Flouride helps protect the teeth from decay, manganese aids in bone and cartilage formation, chromium and manganese help the body use carbohydrates for energy, iodine helps the thyroid gland produce thyroid hormone, copper promotes the absorption of iron, selenium helps regulate thyroid hormones and molybdenum allows the breakdown of amino acids and other compounds.
Certain conditions, such as pregnancy, heavy menstrual periods and surgery, may increase your needs for specific trace minerals. In these cases, your physician may recommend taking supplements that contain high amounts of trace minerals. If these conditions do not apply to you, it is important to research your supplements and make sure that they do not contain any more than 150 percent of the recommended daily values of any of the trace minerals. Excess supplementation can be harmful to the body and cause negative health effects.

I love the journey of discovering what we do well. It's a blast! We all like doing what we do well. If you're good at something, you usually enjoy every minute of doing it. But the more time I spend doing what I don't do well, the more frustrating life becomes. But once you've identified
Do What You Do!
In my experience, one of the key differences between the large church and the small church is the number of things they try to do. The smaller church tries to do more things. They try to offer every good idea they've seen from big churches and they stretch their people, their resources, and their abilities
Him & Them – the focus of a real church!
As we have frequently said, inward focus is the death knell for the local church. Once we begin thinking that church is for us and about us, we lose our very reason-for-being. Little wonder that the blessing of God ceases. My stomach lurches every time I hear someone say, "Well pastor, we're the ones who
Hey people, Get the house ready!
The GET assignment for the congregation has a second expression too. Remember, that we said the Pastor must GROW himself and GROW a few. Well, the people must GET hungry and they must GET the house ready! When we were pastoring Maranatha Worship Center in Wichita, for several years we held deacon meetings in our
Growing People Grow Churches
Too often congregations think if my pastor will excel in his job, then our church will grow. But there is an agenda for each of us, and frankly, there is one thing the pastor can't do for me. There is something we must GET and if we don't, our church will never move toward greater

Sweet Songs For Grandma
This last Saturday my husband, our son, and I went to visit my mother-in-law. She's 89 years old and suffers from dementia. She lives in the dementia care center at a senior care facility about two and a half hours from us.
My husband and I have five adult children. We had been empty nesters for about a year while our two youngest sons served two-year full-time missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A couple of months ago, our son (pictured here with his guitar) completed his two-year mission. I shared pictures of the happy homecoming on this blog. If you'd like to see that post, click HERE. Our youngest son is still serving his mission in Arizona. The rest of our kids live out-of-state right now.
My mother-in-law has been suffering from dementia for several years. It's so difficult to see her as she is now. She can't really speak anymore. And we don't really know if she even recognizes us. Before dementia took hold, my mother-in-law was a very well-read, sharp-minded and knowledgeable woman. She was a gospel scholar, having taught seminary for a total of 30 years at church. Seminary is a gospel class taught to high school kids. The course of study centers on the scriptures. You can read more about seminary by clicking HERE. She also taught the adult Sunday School class, called Gospel Doctrine, at church for many years as well.
My mother-in-law was also very politically active. She even ran for congress twice.
For our visit with my mother-in-law, our son decided to bring his guitar to play for her. We took her for a little walk in her wheel chair (which we usually do when we visit her), and ended up at this pretty bench on the care facility property. Our son played a couple of hymns for his grandma and then sang and played for her too. It was just so sweet! My mother-in-law didn't really have any reaction. But, I'm hoping that her spirit was touched anyway. Music is a powerful way to connect with people. And hopefully, she felt something wonderful as our son sang and played for her.
While our son was singing, a sweet elderly lady, who we found out is a new resident at the care facility, stopped walking and came over to listen to our son. She inched her way forward towards us. It was so cute! When our son finished singing, she asked if she could pull up a chair to listen. She also asked if he was performing later at the facility. How sweet! It was about time for us to take my mother-in-law back so she could have lunch, but there was time for one more song. So our son sang and played I Am a Child of God. The sweet lady seemed to really enjoy the song and asked our son for a hug as we left.
I'm so glad our son decided to bring his guitar so he could play and sing for his grandma. He really is a kind and thoughtful person.
Thanks for stopping by!

A top leader of the radical People's New Black Panther Party says his group wants to gain major footholds in five Southern states to establish "our own government in a nation within a nation."
Babu Omowale, the party's national minister of defense, told Breitbart News' Aaron Klein on his radio show, which aired Sunday on New York's AM 970 The Answer and News Talk 990 AM in Philadelphia:
"We just need to start migrating back to those states and taking control of the economics in those states. If black people move in, most definitely white people will move out. So it's not a hard process for us to have our own country within a country …
"The end game is land ownership. The endgame is our own government in a nation within a nation. Okay. So we claim the states of Louisiana, we claim the states of Mississippi, we claim the states of South Carolina, we claim the states of Alabama, and we claim the states of Georgia."

There's room in Syria. You can leave now.
I was going to say, lets offer them all a one way ticket to a foreign land of their "choice." Take them via air, one of those military cargo planes, and let them all jump out of the cargo doors, 25 thousand feet up with no parachutes. Anyone who doesn't like the USA, aren't under any obligation to stay as US Citizens. Get the eff out thugs! "Hyphenated Nationality is Bullshit too! US born, YOU ARE AMERICAN! If you hate the USA this bad, renounce your citizenship and get the fk out!!!
That's TOTALLY my sentiments. There's not a single black country that has EVER been run efficiently and flourished. They clearly don't get if they want their OWN country...that means NO FEDERAL FUNDING. Where are they going to get their freebies from?
Yeah....heard of it. ALL that needs to stop too.
Who is going to do all the gruntwork of building their Country? Lets say if they all left and moved to another spot in the world that is nothing more than wilderness. I wish that we had a way to get all of them to leave voluntarily, including their stinking fraudass dictator in dc, the isis loving insane/barri.
Right on Christine..! They would fit right in with ISIS ..Good Riddance..!
2 of O'Frauds Creations..!
I think we should start a fund on 'fund me' to make it happen as soon as possible.
Make that Iran or even Russia. If they tried this in either place, they'd be handed their jewels or heads in a paper bag. LOL!
Siberia would be a good spot for the thankless shitpiles to go to.

The protein encoded by S100A10 is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. Additionally we are shipping S100A10 Antibodies (138) and S100A10 Proteins (30) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 9 out of 23 products:
the observed reduction in infection is less significant in the absence of S100A10 alone compared to full A2t, supporting an independent role for monomeric AnxA2. More broadly, we show that successful infection by multiple oncogenic HPV types is dependent on A2t.
These findings delineate the clinical and functional contribution of S100A10 as a biomarker in pancreatic cancer.
High expression of Annexin A2 and S100A10 in stromal tissue from Epithelial Ovarian Cancer patients was associated with reduced overall survival; however, no independent prognostic value was found for any of the markers.
The data show that S100A10 expression in lung squamous cell carcinoma is related to invasion of the lymphatic system, cancer stage progress, and a poorer prognosis.
study has localised AnxA2/S100A10 complexes to key anatomical locations in the placenta and suggests a role for this complex in amniotic epithelium, trophoblasts and syncytium, in addition to its well-known roles in endothelial cells
The overexpression of ANXA2 in U937 cells transfected with full-length ANXA2 cDNA was associated with increased S100A10 subunit, although S100A10 transcripts remained constitutive. PML/RARalpha fusion protein transactivated the ANXA2 promoter to upregulate ANXA2 and accumulate S100A10.
these studies define a new paradigm for plasminogen activation by the plasminogen receptor, S100A10
These findings provides evidence that gene-gene interactions between p11, tPA and BDNF are all associated with post stroke depression.
Given that inflammation plays a role in both Parkinson's disease (PD)and depression, it is intriguing that peripheral p11 levels are altered in immune cells in both conditions. Our data provide insight into the pathological alterations occurring centrally and peripherally in PD. Moreover, if replicated in other cohorts, p11 could be an easily accessible biomarker
The S100A10 and S100B genes, which are located on different chromosomes, encode specialized calcium-binding proteins. These data support a role for calcium homeostasis in individuals with Cannabis Dependence and high risk sex behaviours.
These findings identify S100A10 as a player in endometrial receptivity acquisition.
Findings indicate that Munc13-4 supports acute WPB exocytosis by tethering WPBs to the plasma membrane via AnxA2-S100A10.
Here, the authors demonstrate that S100A10 is required for ULK1 localization to autophagosome formation sites. Silencing of S100A10 reduces IFN-gamma-induced autophagosome formation.
p11 might be a potential regulator on 5-HTR1b and 5-HTR4 as well as a predictor of or a therapeutic target for IFN-alpha-induced depression.
annexin A2 and S100A10 expressions are powerful predictors of serous ovarian cancer outcome.
These data show that disruption of ANX2/p11 interaction results in reduced ALL cell adhesion to osteoblasts, increased ALL cell sensitization to chemotherapy, and suppression of ALL cell homing and engraftment.
Annexin A2 complexes with S100 proteins: structure, function and pharmacological manipulation
Overexpression of miR-590-5P reduced the activity of luciferase expressed by a vector bearing the 3' untranslated region of S100A10 mRNA. Ectopic miR-590-5P overexpression mediated by lentiviral infection decreased expression of S100A10.
TPH1 gene polymorphisms and S100A10 expression, which correlate with 5-HT signaling were associated with ramosetron effectiveness in IBS-D, and may possibly lead to prospective identification of the resistance to treatment.
Authors show here that AnxA2, p11 and AHNAK are required for type 3 secretion system-mediated Salmonella invasion of cultured epithelial cells.
p11KO male mice showed lower conditioned place preference than WT. In females there were no CPP differences between p11KO and WT.
data indicate that focal inhibition of p11 action in the dorsal striatum could be a promising PD therapeutic target to improve motor function while reducing l-dopa-induced dyskinesias
p11 homeostasis in the NAc, particularly in dopamine receptor-1 expressing medium spiny neurons, may underlie pathophysiological mechanisms of cocaine rewarding action.
The level of hippocampal p11 determines the directionality of 5-HT(1B)R action on emotional memory processing and modulates hippocampal functionality.
p11 and AnxA2 cooperate to create a unique binding pocket, but the optimal binding condition is not achieved without conformational changes associated with target binding. Upon interaction with the SMARCA3 peptide, both Asp60 in p11 and Ser12 in AnxA2 flip inward toward the peptide-binding groove, forming additional intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Lewis lung carcinoma or T241 fibrosarcoma growth was reduced in S100A10-deficient mice. S100A10 was required specifically for the migratory capability needed for macrophage tumor homing, a new rate-limiting step in tumor progression.
An important role for S100A10 in the regulation of fibrinolysis and angiogenesis in vivo, suggesting that S100A10 plays a critical role in endothelial cell function.
Data indicate that most p11 expressing cells in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum, & caudate-putamen express HTR1B or co-express HTR1B/HTR4, suggesting crucial role for p11 in modulating actions of serotonin via these receptor subtypes.
The authors inferred that S100A10 may play an important role in transpenetration of Cryptococcus neoformans across the vascular endothelia.
Voluntary physical activity, but not locked wheel exposure, induced a robust increase in hippocampal mature BDNF protein levels, as well as in p11 and tissue plasminogen activator mRNA expression
data demonstrate that p11 levels are regulated by BDNF in vitro and in vivo and that the antidepressantlike effect of BDNF in two well-established behavioral models requires p11.
Loss of S100A10 led to decrease in macrophage migration across the peritoneal membrane into the peritoneal cavity.
p11, already known to traffic members of the voltage-gated sodium and potassium channel families as well as transient receptor potential and chloride channels, also plays a selective role in enhancing ASIC1a functional expression
results of the present study indicate that the dynamic modulation of 5-HT1B receptor function by p11 may be involved in molecular adaptations occurring in neuronal networks that are dysfunctional in depression-like states
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is an important androgen-responsive proteins produced by Sertoli cells which might play a role in regulating spermatogenesis.
A significant deficit in neuropathic pain behavior in mice with p11 deletion confirms an important role for p11 protein in nociceptor function.
We have recently identified increased expression of p11 genes that implicate fibrinolysis in ALD progression.
Within the endothelial cell, p11 is required for Src kinase-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of A2, which signals translocation of both proteins to the cell surface.
S100A10 mRNA and protein levels were significantly lower in the cultured ANXA2(-/-) cells than in cultured ANXA2(+/+) cells.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a wide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which are located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21. This protein may function in exocytosis and endocytosis.

July 2017
So far, apart from being a bit cold, winter hasn't really happened so maybe it will happen this month, or has climate change gone further than we thought.
In a last minute email before going to press, Second Valley Caravan Park has just received a "Certificate of Excellence for 2017" from Trip Advisor. They thank all their loyal guests and customers for taking the time to review them on the Trip Advisor website. Congratulations Gregory and Jo.
The Fleurieu Coast Winter Deals booklet is also available now, so look out for it and grab some discounts for a wide range of products and services from food to accommodation deals.
There is a bit of conversation around the shacks south of the Hobart memorial. There was to be more discussion at Council on 20th June but there was no more details at the time of going to press.
There is a page of 'Letters' to give you some background until more happens - see page 15.
What else this month…
Heritage Fleurieu Coast is gearing up for the inaugural 2018 festival, Club Fleurieu announce Gold Class Movie Sessions, entertainment for school holidays from Books & Words Group among others, Natural Resource Centre news, order native seedling from Trees For Life, another Historical Society talk at the Library, cute furry animals and a bunch of other stuff await you among the 36 pages of the July issue.

June 2017
There is lots of stuff happening as usual and I have run out of room, so some articles, reports and letters had to be put aside for next issue.
When the budget won't stretch another four pages - yes, it must be in multiples of four - I am not inclined to be financially reckless. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to run on an never ending deficit… like the government does… hmmm?
Planning for the 'Heritage Fleurieu Coast' Festival for 2018 is underway and there is a
public meeting for interested people to attend - see page 26 for details.
The Yankalilla Council have been busy demolishing toilet blocks, among other things and their 'In The Loop' section (in the middle) will explain all the finer details.
What else… there's a new 'hearing services' business (back page) among other new ads, Lilla's Café has a new owner and is now open Wednesdays too, Yankalilla Take Away will
serve their 10,000th customer this month and plenty of club news, entertainment and other things to do. Read on!
Until next issue...

This is the day to celebrate everything you love about them. Put away your tired plates. This Valentine's Day make it one to remember with extra-special dinnerware and their new favorite candle, these pieces are so good we promise they won't even notice if you've overcooked the eggs…
Lobsters may not actually mate for life, but your partner doesn't need to know that. These cute crustaceans provide the perfect base for your bed-side banquet, and you'll score extra points for the subtle reference of their favorite show. After all, they're your lobster.
Your everyday dinnerware won't cut it this Valentine's Day, a truly romantic breakfast needs something extra special. Slogans are huge right now, seen everywhere from the catwalk to pillows, and they're not going anywhere soon. Stock up on statement plates and not only will your impress your loved one on Valentine's morning, you'll have the most on-trend table setting at your next dinner party.
Mismatched mugs? Not on the most romantic day of the year. Instead, look to crisp white porcelain with delicate gold detailing. This Dauville cup & saucer will make your romantic breakfast in bed feel more like tea at The Ritz.
Nothing says romance like the glow of a flickering candle. And this one is sure to set the right mood. On a base of intense sandalwood, this candle has a heart of warming amber crystals and top notes of tuberose. Sophisticated, sleek and a little bit spicy. It's the perfect fragrance to while away a slow Valentine's Day morning.
Set off your masterpiece of a meal with a bunch of their favorite flowers presented in the perfect vase. This gold-toned vase from Bloomingville is the ideal match for the Dauville cup & saucer. You really have thought of everything, haven't you?

I was aware of the Kendal Mountain Festival as a key event for people who do outdoorsy stuff. It wasn't really for me though because I like to sit on my sofa… Except, I also like swimming. And running. And forcing my children to walk up 'mountains' (small hills and chocolate incentives are always required).
As Programme Manager for Gala I often get pitches from producers who are touring speakers on the theatre circuit and are looking for dates at our theatre. They always seemed to go down well with our audiences so my interest was always sparked. The KMF logo or endorsement always made me take a bit more notice. So when we started to talk about a weekend of festival programming, it seemed obvious that we should talk to the experts.
So Paul, Anna and Jacqui were invited over to Durham and after a whistle-stop tour of the venue we started to hatch some plans. It's always nice to see your city from a different angle and they were so enthusiastic about everything that it was infectious. The lightbulb moment came when they said to us that the whole ethos of their festival was about 'just getting people to do stuff', that this wasn't about elite athletes doing unachievable things, but about ordinary people doing seemingly impossible things, and learning from the mistakes and mishaps. It had storytelling at its heart, and as a theatre producer that sold it for me!
A trip to Kendal during the festival confirmed it for me. Seeing the breadth of work on offer; the headline speakers, the film collections and the fringe literature festival was so inspiring. And the through line of 'just having a go' was everywhere. It must have worked because after happening upon a wild swimming event, I have now signed up for the Great North Swim, even though I've never done anything like that before. So I am super-excited to now be sharing the programme with you all and to hearing about where it takes you. And if anyone has any advice on where to get a decent wetsuit, I'm all ears!

Bay Run Flasher Jailed, Apologises To Victims
The 'fanged flasher' exposed himself to joggers on the popular Sydney running track.
For weeks the women of Sydney's inner west were living in fear as Andrew Grant preyed on females, flashing and harassing them as they jogged along the famous 'bay run'.
In court on Wednesday, the 29-year-old father apologised to his terrified victims and blamed a traumatic childhood for his actions.
He will be behind bars until at least November after already serving five months jail. On release, he will be supervised for three years and forced to undergo sex offender treatment.
Police issued an urgent appeal after seven women were harassed, one attacked, by a man with sharp prominent front teeth, as they exercised along the bay in the inner west in a three-week stretch between January 31 and February 17.
"I've imposed my deluded thoughts on innocent people… I had absolutely no right to do so," Grant told a Magistrate.
"I'm ashamed and deeply remorseful… ultimately I failed as a man."
"I have absolutely no excuse for the crimes I've committed… I've acted less than an animal. I've caused great fear among the community."
Grant's lawyer said the 29 year-old was "self-destructing" and hoping to be caught, claiming he suffered from possible bipolar disorder and driven by trauma suffered as a child.
Grant watched his mother be brutally stabbed and saw his younger brother die after being hit by a car.
But police argued Grant should be locked up because he's done this before in Western Australia. Police prosecutor Jamie Palmer described his attacks as brazen and abhorrent.
"This is an area where women go to exercise, where families go to exercise," he said.
"These women who were approached … had to run to safety. They were scared. They were concerned about what was going to happen."
Magistrate Schurr thanked the victims "for reporting these matters to the police… to protect themselves and other members of the public."
Grant was sentenced to an eight-month jail term with a three-year good behaviour bond.

George and Mayra's Story
Homeschooling to Flourish
Three years ago, George and Mayra Wilcox moved their family to a new state, away from the small charter school with teachers they loved and into a school district that scored a 2 out of 10 on a recent rating.
"We knew that we could not put our children [in public school]," Mayra shared. "We decided to homeschool while we became familiar with our new surroundings and found a decent school for them."
What was supposed to be a one-year detour turned into three-year journey that the family enjoyed so much that they didn't want it to end. George and Mayra loved tailoring their school material to each child's specific needs and learning preferences.
"Allowing them to focus on their strengths and passions has helped bring out the best in our children," Mayra said. "One of my girls loves to make and build things, another is very creative and loves to paint and do anything art-related, [and] the smallest one is very bright and absorbs information easily, so we are constantly giving her more than her 'grade level' material. Homeschooling has allowed them to really flourish. For us as parents, it has helped us get to know them better."
Finances, however, have begun to present a challenge to the family's continued homeschooling. George is a disabled veteran, and recent health issues prohibit him from working as hard to provide for his family as he has in the past. Even though Mayra picks up work as a substitute teacher, it's tough to purchase all the curriculum and materials her family needs on a very tight budget.
"We are constantly thinking of what we could do if we had more income," Mayra said. "Extracurriculars like sports or music lessons are offered at school for free, and it can sometimes cause doubts [about our decision]."
Committed to giving her children the very best education, Mayra didn't give up. She search for grants for homeschooling families and found HSLDA's Homeschool Foundation. She applied and was given a grant through the Foundation's Military Fund.
"The grant allowed to us to purchased curriculum and supplies that I had wanted for a while but simply could not afford. It also renewed my faith in homeschooling—just knowing that there are people out there willing to help families like ours. I am grateful for this organization. It is not an easy choice to homeschool, and knowing that there is an organization that wants to provide support is very refreshing."
Mayra also had a word for the families who made her grant possible: "Thank you for having a heart for homeschooling families. When we tell others about our decision to homeschool, it is not always met with enthusiasm. Many people doubt that this is the best decision; many homeschoolers often doubt themselves."
"I feel like financially supporting families is [an] encouragement in and of itself," she continued. "It is like someone is saying 'Hey, I believe in what you are doing—keep it up!'"

9/11 Edition: Where Are We Now?
Sadly, many words are currently being wasted on "remembrances" of this event now receding into history. Few (of the words) deserve to live. Clearer voices on this day are provided to us by the estimable Tom Englehardt (whose post today features an article by Ira Chernus, who remarks upon how the event sanctioned the creation of an enemy, which the American nation so desperately needed to reinforce its own identity and had been searching for, if unconciously, since the fall of the Berlin Wall), and Immanuel Wallerstein, who notes that the undeniable fact that Empire has been losing ground (i.e., power and influence) pretty steadily the more force and violence it employs around the world, and speculates upon future adventures, based in part on more desperation (and right wing politics). Chaos would also point to the announced strategy of ubervillian Osama bin Laden, who quite rightly was advised that the Empire would respond to attacks with a "cowboy mentality," and play directly to the Muslim world's preconceptions that Americans would invade their lands and take their oil. For further reading on the weakness of violence and the ability of small groups to defend their own lands, see The Unconquerable World, a stoutly written work of vast explanatory power.

The bathtub can be one of your best friends when it comes to relaxation, healing, and even beauty. Essential oils can be added to the water to calm and revitalize you, various moisturizers can be added to help repair tired skin, and salts help to relax muscles and pull toxins from our overworked bodies.
The recipes that follow are special treats for the skin and can also help to calm a frazzled mind and relax a tense body. Simply add these wonderful treatments to your bath, sit back, breathe deeply, and enjoy.
Herbal Bath Sachet
This simple recipe does wonders for skin of all types, but it especially helps troubled skin to recover. Use it when your skin isn't feeling its best.
2 bags of unflavored green tea
½ cup Lavender flowers (dried preferred)
½ cup Chamomile flowers (dried preferred)
Directions: Simply add the herbs to a sachet or wash cloth and tie it closed. The tea bags can be opened and poured into the fabric or they can be left as is. Once it is completed, add it to your bath water and relax.
It is important to note here that only whole milk will do. The reasoning behind this is dairy fats help hydrate your skin. If there is little to no dairy fat in your milk, your skin won't be able to absorb any.
Now there are three kinds of milk I recommend and all can be used in the recipes below:
Whole Milk– Whole milk provides many nourishing vitamins and minerals as well as a large supply of hydrating dairy fats. It also contains lactic acid which can help to gently exfoliate the skin.
Butter Milk– Butter milk has the same properties as whole milk, but it also has a higher acid content. It is best if the skin needs to be thoroughly exfoliated.
Goat's Milk– By far the best option. It has a higher nutritional value than cow's milk, and a beneficial blend of complex acids makes it the most suitable to moisturize and exfoliate. The only drawback is it's slight pungent odor. This can easily be covered up however with essential oils.
In addition to using fresh milk, you can find all of these in a powdered form which is best if you want to make up large batches. Simply halve the amount of powder that you would use compared to fresh milk. Likewise if the recipe calls for powder simply double the amount of fresh.
Milk and Honey Bath
2 cups Milk
½ cup Honey (powdered if you are making large batches to use for later)
¼ cup Rolled Oats (in a sachet or wash cloth)
Directions: Simply add the ingredients to the bath, or if you are making some for later and using powdered ingredients use about a half cup of the mixture per bath.
Hot Coco Bath
3 cups Milk Powder
1 ½ cups Cocoa Powder
2 cups Corn Starch
Directions: Whisk all of the ingredients together and store in an airtight container. Use ½ cup per bath for a luxurious treat.

Prevent Windshield Cracking with Chip Repair in Oklahoma City, OKDecember 27, 2017 9:51 pm Leave your thoughts
No matter the make, model or age of your car, there are certain things that every driver has to keep up on. Regular oil changes, brake replacement and auto detailing are all necessary every once in a while, and your car will likely operate much more effectively if you keep up on regular service. Unfortunately, there are certain vehicle issues that can occur regardless of how consistent you are when it comes to service and maintenance.

Apple prohibits direct mining of cryptocurrencies on iPhone and iPad.
The Cupertino company has updated its app developer guidelines. Now there is a passage about mining cryptocurrencies. In the future, such apps are prohibited, which perform the mining directly on the devices. If mining instead takes place in cloud servers, or at least not on the device itself, it is still allowed.
Did Apple get the censorship pen out again? Presumably, in this situation, some users will speak of censorship.
Apple protects devices and users
Rather, the iPhone maker is doing both the customer and the devices something good. Apple does not show with this reaction that it is against crypto-mining.
Instead, users should be happy to know that you have more of your devices for a long time and are not inefficiently throwing money out the window. At the moment, crypto-mining on the iPhone or iPad is one thing above all: a resource-eater. But you get even after days and weeks of mine work no reasonably meaningful share of any crypto currency. You pay for it.
Partially operated apps even without the consent of the users. They used resources to generate cryptocurrency for the app developer.
Wallets and marketplaces continue allowed
You can continue trading with cryptocurrencies through the mobile devices. Because only such apps are prohibited, trying to make calculations directly on the devices.
Apple also protects against sluggishness in ICOs
There is also a small addition when trading cryptocurrencies. If new cryptop currencies are offered on the initial issue (ICO, initial coin offering) via an app, then only from the official side. If it is not a certified bank or comparable financial services provider, such apps may no longer offer ICOs.
Even so, Apple protects its users. Because in the recent past, unfortunately too much bumbling was driven with it. Some idea providers collected funds for a new cryptocurrency. Then a few weeks or months later, the plug was pulled in the project. The users stayed seated on their investments.

SECRETARY of State Rex Tillerson said on Sunday that US President Donald Trump had instructed him to continue along a diplomatic path with North Korea, adding that "those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops."
South Korea and the United States began week-long joint Navy drills in the waters around the Korean peninsula on Monday, amid high tensions over North Korea's nuclear and missile programme.
About 40 Navy ships from both countries, including the nuclear-powered USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, are taking part in the exercises on the east and west coasts of the peninsula from Oct 16 to 20, a spokesman for the South's defence ministry said on Monday.
SEE ALSO: Kim Jong Un praises nuclear weapons as US, South Korea step up surveillance
"Approximately 200 US personnel are expected to participate in the Seoul International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition (ADEX) 2017, scheduled from Oct. 17-22 at the Seoul K-16 airport," the 7th Air Force said as quoted by South Korea's news agency Yonhap.
Speaking on CNN's State of the Union show on Sunday, Tillerson downplayed messages that Trump had previously posted on Twitter suggesting Tillerson was wasting his time trying to negotiate with "Little Rocket Man," a derogatory nickname Trump has coined for North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un.
Trump "has made it clear to me to continue my diplomatic efforts," Tillerson said.
Tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen sharply in recent weeks following a series of weapons tests by Pyongyang, including its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sept 3 and two missile launches over Japan, and a war of words between the United States and North Korea.
It has called joint military exercises by the United States and South Korea as a "rehearsal for war."
North Korea is preparing to test a long-range missile which it believes can reach the west coast of the United States, said a Russian lawmaker who returned from a visit to Pyongyang earlier this month.
SEE ALSO: Trump mulls visit to North-South Korean border
South Korean intelligence officials and analysts have said that North Korea might time its next provocation to coincide with China's all-important Communist Party Congress which begins on Wednesday.
Speaking at a military conference in Seoul on Monday, General Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy, commander of US Pacific Air Force, said North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile development programme was "truly a threat to us all" and the United States remains poised to defend allies.
"Although countries like North Korea threaten regional peace and security, our allied air power must be ready to respond with rapid, lethal and overwhelming force to respond to preserve our interests," O'Shaughnessy said.

Where to Find Custom Built Carport Barns
When you think of the word 'barn', there's always the image of an old wood building painted red – But this actually refers to the old type of barn. Nowadays, people have the right type of technology and materials available to help construct carport barns, which are sure to last longer than those old-school wooden ones. This is exactly what most carport barn companies can do. They have customized metal barns that are constructed from the best quality steel, which come in both 14-gauge and 12-gauge frames. Each constructed barn has its own one-year workmanship warranty, alongside a 20-year warranty on the rust that passes 14-gauge and 12-gauge galvanized metal frames.
Why Do Carport Barns Include Warranties?
A carport barn company tends to include a warranty since even though they're pretty aware of the fact that their customized metal barns are highly durable and have the ability to stand plenty of usage and abuse, these companies also want to place trust in their own product and provide their clients with a piece of mind.
Other customized metal buildings from these carport barn companies, give their clients the freedom to pick whatever material they want for their own. There are three roof styles available: An A-frame roof style, a vertical roof style, and a regular style. Also included are plenty of color options for your carport barn. The lean-tos and central building can be modified to their liking, as well as their own sheltering needs. Several of the usual customization types will include an open carport lean-to, one in which the center portion is closed while the lean is still opened up. You can also choose a fully-enclosed barn, or go for the more popular option – The one that's fully opened and the lean-to is closed. The width of the average lean-to is at least twelve feet long. However, several companies have decided to customize these for their clients. The current lengths of the metal-based barns for buildings that have lean-tos are over 41 inches long, so you can go longer than that.

WILCOX: (Can you explain the difference in your home and away record?) "We just play better at home. Playing on the road is something we need to learn how to do. We still have two games on the road that we need to take care of." Q; You missed a couple free-throws there heading down the stretch, little more focus in the end?

May 21, 2014
QU-BD, founded by Chelsea, David, Nathan & Courtney, has successfully raised over $400,000 from 1,400 backer for the Kickstarter campaign of their $199 One Up 3D printer in November 2013.
The Little Rock, Arkansas-based company has unveiled a few new versions of its 3D printer at the Bay Area Maker Faire in California last weekend, Gizmag reports. The 3D printer look pretty much the same as the One Up 3D printer, but in bright neon colors. A company rep told Gizmag reporter Eric Mack that "they are still working through getting printers to all the Kickstarter backers, but were also taking new orders and hope to be able to start delivering those orders next month."
The success of its Kickstarter campaign has kept QU-BD busy for fulfilling the orders of 1,400 backers that was 50 times larger than what they required $9,000 initial goal. Fulfilling a project that is not well prepared can be a disaster. Many of those backers have left bitter and disappointed comments on our earlier post. The most frequently heard complaint was lack of communication: no printer, and no emails.
A backer named chris said, "Ordered a printer, didn't get it. Didn't get any email or correspondence regarding where it went. If you use their unadvertised ticket system on the website, you can get Paula to eventually answer your question. Paula is an inept customer service person, though, so expect issue resolution to go slowly and to be left in the dark. Paula told me after I complained that the printers weren't being shipped because some of them broke in transit. Would have been nice to hear that prior to the estimated delivery window elapsed, right? Duh? I asked for a refund and she said "I'll forward this to our accounting department" and closed the ticket. o_O I guess it goes without saying that I haven't heard from them in over two weeks. Don't buy stuff from this company."
Fortunately there was also positive response. Someone called Doug wrote in May.18, "I got mine in my mail yesterday. Time to start assembling it. I don't know about their past business, but keep in mind, this was a kickstarter campaign. They didn't have a bunch in stock that they could start shipping as soon as the campaign ended. Kickstarter is NOT a store. Too many people seem to forget that. Yes, they needed more frequent communication and they were too optimistic on delivery times. Mistakes most companies make."
QU-BD says it is still working to fulfill orders placed through Kickstarter, so hopefully all backers can get their printer as early as possible. To know more about QU-BD One Up 3D printer, check out the video below or visit their new website quintessentialuniversalbuildingdevice.com.

This printer is awful for someone who just wants to buy a 3d printer and have it work. Poor design, poor customer service, poor reliability. One of the most critical aspects for reliable printing is to have all our axis perfectly square, and they decide that kind of responsibility should be handled by a zip tie..... You will be required to go buy spare parts and look up a TON of mods in the community for nearly every single component. The time and money you'll spend on this thing to upgrade it from total failure to flakey kludge would have been soooo much nicer to buy a better printer from a better company. Save yourself the frustration. This 3d printer should be in an infomercial for its level of under-delivering.

Been waiting for my Kickstarter order for over 9 months now. When I submit ticket, I get a vague 2 line reply saying either "I will take care of it" (Chelsea) or "I will forward this to someone who will take care of it", and then the ticket get marked as resolved, but nothing was ever done. I've paid the printer in full like a year ago, the company has attended event and sold printer to customers instead of fulfilling its existing list of clients (like me). Still nothing. People have asked for refund and get the same silence treatment. DO NOT deal with this company. They have no customer support, and for the little they do, it's only damage control using lies.

Yes you should request a refund. I paid $1,170.00 deposit on 3rd March 2013 and after much promising of a new printer was offered a refund on 31 December 2013. I have so far received neither a printer or my money. Here is some of the correspondence: We will be happy to refund the deposit you sent for the custom printer. I will submit your request and get the process started. Have a nice night.

The printer I ordered was basically a Revolution XXL, I have ordered parts from QU-BD prior to ordering the printer and they were delivered as promised.

So, what's up with these people. They take forever to ship. I have been waiting for months (was supposed to ship next day according to the website when I ordered months ago). Is this company crooked, or just inept?
Alice wrote at 6/24/2014 4:25:02 AM:
I received most of my two up two days ago, was two months late and shipped a week after they told me it was shipped. It was missing the motors, rods and the threaded rod as well as one of the acrylic parts. I opened a ticket and their answer was the parts are in the box, as they weighed it in as 10.7 lbs... the box weighed 15 lbs with no motors/rods. I have gone back to them with this and awaiting their responce.

I'm a kickstarter backer too, my printer should be with me shortly. I completely agree with bobthebuilder (I do not work for QUBD either - some people are extremely paranoid), some people who have bought this printer probably shouldn't have. With any 3D printer you need some technical knowledge and tools to help achieve great results. Check out 3DprintedLife on youtube, see what he has made with his 2-UP. Re Marcus: "They did not provide endstops" - They never stated they would supply endstops. You do not need endstops if you have technical knowledge of how to use a 3D printer, they are merely a convenience. I would say for the price, it is worth buying this 3D printer AS LONG as you have the knowledge of how 3D printers work or better still the desire to learn. Too many people were expecting a plug and play solution which is not the case.
tomas wrote at 5/30/2014 6:22:40 PM:
@bobthebuilder Do you work for QU-BD? Yes? I thought so. 1) There are almost no people on the official forums who are happy with their printer. The forums are called "fabric8r". Anyone can google it and check them out themselves. 2) No, it doesn't print well and I do have the ability like most of other people to "put it together", which I had to do quite a few times either because of poor instructions (created by a forum member, not by qu-bd) or lots of "upgrades" I had to do to get some decent prints (you can't get anything remotely decent with default design) or just because of missing stuff like endstops or shaft couplings. 3) Just a little "Behind on shipping"? For most people they are late 4 months or even more. They don't provide tracking numbers to kickstarter backers. They either completely ignore support tickets or reply with the same copy pasted message. They don't plan to do any refunds until they ship all the kickstarter rewards which still hasn't happened yet and most likely won't happen until a couple more months. STAY AWAY OF THIS COMPANY.
bobthebuilder wrote at 5/25/2014 9:04:58 PM:
You guys are being a bit sensationalistic. A bunch of people are getting great prints right out of the box. They have at least 600+ delivered. Yes they are behind on shipping but come on, what Kickstarter 3D printer has delivered on time. I would say 90%+ of the people that have gotten theirs are quite happy. Its the 10% that should have never bought a 3D printer in the first place that are whining that they don't have the mechanical ability to put it together properly. I got mine late but had no problems except for 1 missing M3 bolt. It prints beautifully...much better than the Printrbot it replaced.
Thomas wrote at 5/25/2014 1:47:12 AM:
Also Kickstarter backer here. Although it is a Kickstarter project the company is existing longer and, as they claim, ships to other printer manufacturers. But with sych long shipping times, no communication and a robot for support I find it hard to believe. I am still waiting for my printer which was promised to arrive in January....... Very very disappointed in them
Cayle photo wrote at 5/24/2014 5:21:23 PM:
I am a batch #4 backer. lots if complaints from others on the kickstarter page. however I am not one. Seems there are a lot of upset backers post bombing the forum. I will post a lot about the printer once I figure it out!

I ordered a twoup for April delivery from the web site. I never received my printer and I can't seem to get a refund. I would stay away from this company.
Tomas wrote at 5/22/2014 4:49:25 PM:
Some other problems: * They did not provide endstops, because of which few times too many extruder hit the platform (and they did not provide any place to install them if you actually bought them separately); * They chose a cheaper version of the board for us which resulted in many issues - for me X endstop was triggering even there are no actual endstops (I had to disable it by editing firmware), another member had his fan shorted; * They did not provide shaft coupler (for connecting z motor to threaded rod) which also imho is very important ("just glue it" they said); * They provided a fan but no fan bracket ("print it yourself" was there response) * A lot of people who got heated bed reported power supply wires melting / catching on fire; * Nobody got spool holders they promised; * Some mdf parts are missing holes/cuts were they are supposed to be. Overall the parts are poorly machined. There were incorrectly designed parts that they claimed "were okay" and then sent a corrected version which turned out to still have other errors. * There are major design flaws - like pretty significant X gantry sag (the right side of the gantry is considerably lower than the left and the right side doesn't move consistently) and extruder's bearings can't spin freely because of the way the extruder is designed.
elfranz wrote at 5/22/2014 12:51:28 PM:
Marcus, you don't have to believe me. Just go and read by yourself. The vast majority of backers had problems with parts missing, broken pieces, which took weeks if not months to fix. No instructions, no building plans. No support but a forum, run by backers. No mails, no communications at all. The only instructions available were made by a backer, not QUBD. We were promised an HD video that never saw the light. Someone managed to get some decent prints after heavily modifying the device, but we are talking about a bunch of people in 1400 backers. So if you ask me, this is the typical product based on 3d printing hype: it's crap, but man it's a 3D printer!
Tune Øst-Jacobsen wrote at 5/22/2014 12:37:02 PM:
I backed them on KS, and have recieved my printer, and have made some small crude prints with it, within days of recieving it. I found it relatively easy to assemble, and for the price I wasn't expecting more. I will not say that it is flawless, and there has been some issues with it, but not anything that would make me discourage others from bying it. I think that it is a good printer at a great prize.
Tomas wrote at 5/22/2014 11:30:16 AM:
I am also one of their kickstarter backers who got his printer 4 months late and finally got a printer with loads of defects and was their support is also really really bad. DO NOT buy anything from QU-BD. They are just terrible at what they do. Buy a Printrbot Simple Kit instead if you want a decent cheap printer. PS: acrylic version of one up actually costs 299$ instead of 199$.
Marcus wrote at 5/22/2014 7:46:58 AM:
Any insight on why to stay away from them? I know kickstarters are not allways working out perfect, my printrbot took longer to ship, the parts where not of great quality as I got some of the resin parts at the time, but it all worked out in the end and the second printer is really good. So does the UP ship, does the recent printer worK?
Bogdan wrote at 5/22/2014 2:59:42 AM:
kickstarter is always risky... I was a Winter Holiday backer, expected to get it by Christmas 2013 but got it on 7th of January 2014. I had some minor issues, but for the price that I payed I was really happy. Sadly I had to leave the country so my printer is unused at this moment.
elFranZ wrote at 5/21/2014 8:53:22 PM:
Actually a backer of the Kickstarter campaign... STAY AWAY FROM THEM! You have just to go and read the comment page on KS, and after that decide if it's worth your money.

Video: Zoo lion tries to eat baby dressed as zebra
Dressing your baby in a zebra-print outfit for a visit to the lion enclosure could be seen as something of a tease for the poor animal. Scroll down for the video
And four-year-old Kya the lioness certainly took the bait when a little boy called Jack arrived on her territory at Oregon Zoo doing just that.
While Kya pawed at the glass and got herself into a frenzy - even at one point opening her jaws and trying to chomp on Jack's head - the little boy took it all in his stride and appeared completely unfazed.
His parents also saw the funny side, and can be heard telling their son to say "Hi kitty, kitty" in the background.
See the footage below:

Dance till you drop at Swing Camp Oz
MORE than a 130 people will be laughing, moving and girating to the beat in Lismore this week as they learn from the world's best swing dance instructors.
Swing Camp Oz director Joel Plys, of San Diego, said that it was a unique opportunity because very rarely did camps go longer than a weekend, and here in Lismore people could learn for a full week.
"It is all about immersion and inspiration," Mr Plys said.
"There's a lot of bruised shins, but a lot of huge smiles.
"We have a couple of teachers from New York, Los Angeles and Melbourne and it is truly a rare opportunity to spend time with this calibre of teachers."
The event highlight is the big band dance session on Friday at 9.30pm at Lismore City Hall where social dancers are invited to join and dance to a real band.
Entry is $50 but mention the 'Northern Star Discount' and you will recieve entry at $40 per person, plus a two for one offer on the $30 dance class before which starts at 8:30pm.
Event co-organisor Mary McDermott said that the revivial of 30's and 40's dance was becoming increasingly popular as we see younger generations take an interest in retro style.
"It makes your grandparents seem really cool," she said.
"There is a lot of diveristy in the dance moving between Jazz and Blues but dancers can push themselves as hard as they want."

Hello Blogland,
I just thought I'd stop in to explain why I haven't stopped in....
I don't remember if I filled you all in on the trouble with my legs, but about 2 months after switching prescriptions for my endometriosis, I started having really bad pain in my legs. The doctor made me stop taking the new prescription (which was a bummer, because once my body adjusted to it and I got through the initial vomiting/headache phase, I felt great!), and sent me to a vascular surgeon to be checked for blood clots, or other circulation issues.
Everything checked out fine, and the vascular surgeon said he felt it was a muscular issue, not a vascular issue. So, I am now back on my prescription and going through the whole vomiting/headache phase all over again...sigh. I'm sincerely hoping that I will adjust much more quickly this time, and that I will be through this business soon. In the meantime, I'm pretty much a lump who gets up to take care of kids and try to teach them stuff.
I had hoped to make a bunch of cookies for some friends this weekend since all activity was cancelled around here due to IKE, but I just didn't feel like standing up! I did have a baby shower cake that I needed to do for a friend at church, so I did manage to get that one finished and delivered, but I didn't stay for the shower itself....sniff, sob. I had much more elaborate plans in mind for it, but like I said, standing was not my friend this weekend.
This was her second boy and her theme was "Airplanes", so this is what she got.
Yes, those are cookie airplanes stuck in icing clouds.
And now, I must muster myself up to take the girl to cheer practice where I will sit in the nice cool air and watch without moving...doesn't sound too terrible to me! Thank goodness for brothers who are now old enough and responsible enough to babysit, so I don't have to chase a 3 year old around 8 different football practice areas! :)
Hopefully, I'll be back up and blogging more fun stuff soon.
Oh, and please stop by and encourage Kelli. She's having a rough time, and could use some prayers right about now. Thanks!
A small glimpse into the daily life of a homeschooling, cake decorating, mother of four (who would rather be knitting...most of the time).

As speculation of a successor continues, to North Koreans, the ideals Kim Il Sung set forth still live on. Most wear a portrait of his country's "eternal leader" Kim Il Sung pinned over his heart, a sign of allegiance to a man dead for years.
In addition to clinging to the hope of "Juche"--Kim's religion of self-reliance--North Koreans also are bound together by a common enemy --- America.
North Korea maintains the fourth-largest army in the world in a constant state of readiness. World War II-style propaganda billboards depict a fist smashing into North America. North Koreans think of Americans as the "imperialists" who caused the division between North and South.
In contrast, most Americans rarely give North Korea much thought.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Malacetic for Dogs & Cats, including answers from our team.
Yat Chan
I wonder if these will be gentle enough for my pug I've recently rehomed her and noticed the fold between her nose is a little smelly and crusty. Can you use them to wipe around the ears? Thanks
These wipes should be ideal for wiping around the ears and in skin folds near the nose etc. They are safe and non-irritant, while being effective at cleaning with an anti-septic effect.
Andrea Gylling
Is this solution only for dogs, or can it be used also on cats?
Can it be used with Otodine?
Malacetic can be used on cats and other pets too, it is a very mild product. It can be used with Otodine but not at the same time. You should not need to however as the Malacetic should clean the ear itself, but you can alternate the products if you find this works better.
