To achieve the highest degree of security in home automation, Apple HomeKit relies on advanced cryptographic algorithms. The algorithms chosen by Apple are best known for their use on high-performance servers. On the low-cost, resource-constrained microcontrollers that are more typical for home automation, implementation of these algorithms is a major challenge. The ocrypto library is the best-in-class implementation of the cryptographic functions needed for HomeKit – and for many other kinds of IoT devices. Thanks to its outstanding software, Oberon microsystems has become one of the key partners of Apple in the HomeKit ecosystem, along with accessory and semiconductor manufacturers:
ocrypto has been developed over many years, and is continuously being further improved, by our seasoned Swiss engineering team. Our goal is to make your products secure, even on low-cost hardware.
For uncompromising security, the execution times of the relevant ocrypto operations do not depend on the secret data being processed. This mitigates the risk of common side-channel attacks such as timing attacks. This is even true for microcontrollers with data caches, e.g., products based on a Cortex-M7 core, and for the NIST curve, which is highly difficult to implement in this way.
To achieve execution times independent of the processed data – while at the same time achieving state-of-the-art performance and sometimes even beating hardware accelerators – we have invented a novel algorithmic approach to multiplication in a prime field including modular reduction. We have created formal correctness proofs and had them reviewed by independent experts (Prof. W. Meier & Prof. C. Nicola), who found our proofs "in all parts mathematically and formally correct" (proof and review documents are available to licensees).
An extensive test suite is being used for validating ocrypto, with standard test vectors, test vectors for border cases, negative tests and random tests.
ocrypto is implemented in portable C code. The most security- and time-critical cryptographic operations are available alternatively in assembly language for the most common microcontroller instruction sets: ARM Cortex-M0/M0+/M23, ARM Cortex-M3, ARM Cortex-M4/M4F/M7/M33 and MIPS32 microAptiv UP. For Linux hardware, a fully portable C implementation can be provided. For some of the mentioned platforms, we also provide optimized implementations of NIST P-256 (aka prime256v1 and secp256r1).
ocrypto is used for example in Nordic Semiconductor's HomeKit SDK for their Cortex-M4F BLE chips – see also this demo video. Thanks to its quality implementation and extreme optimizations, ocrypto is the choice for such scenarios.
We have developed, analyzed and optimized the cryptographic code of ocrypto since 2013. We have leveraged advanced mathematical transformations, and have carefully written critical parts in assembly language for popular microcontroller cores. The result is typically more than three times as fast as a good implementation in C. ocrypto thus makes advanced protocols such as HomeKit feasible even on low-power, low-cost 32-bit microcontrollers:
|microAptiv UP
|Instruction set architecture
|ARMv7E-M with FPv4-SP extension
|MIPS32 with DSP enhancements
|Clock frequency
|16 MHz
|48 MHz
|64 MHz
|200 MHz
|Set up accessory – first phase with static setup code (with dynamic setup code: 3 times as long)
|3.9 s
|1.1 s
|0.4 s
|0.1 s
|Set up accessory – second phase with static or dynamic setup code
|15.0 s
|4.3 s
|1.4 s
|0.4 s
|Open session
|940 ms
|260 ms
|60 ms
|20 ms
The above HomeKit-related numbers only include the time for cryptographic processing. The communication protocol, accessory logic, and operating system at the other end will add to the experienced round-trip times. Note that accessory setup usually occurs only once in the lifetime of a HomeKit accessory and happens in two phases (before the setup code is entered on the iOS device, and after the setup code has been entered).
RAM is often the most critical resource of a microcontroller. A complete HomeKit proof-of-concept with a BLE chip, implementing the light bulb profile, is feasible in less than 14 KB of RAM and 72 KB of flash. The chip vendor's transport protocol stack (BLE in this case) and its internal buffers are not included in these numbers.

What a shock today I had-
It's a fact that's really sad.
I showed Gary a picture-his mind did stray-
Those people look familiar but who are they?
They are our children-they number four-
They have given us lots of love galore!
He just saw them -two weeks ago-
Celebrating his 75th-he was all aglow!
He seemed delighted to be with all of them-
Our grandchildren- they number not quite ten.
We celebrated his life – which is ebbing fast-
Physically fit but the memory will not last.
Today to me the stark truth is a shock-
I must face facts & be his rock.
Looking after his needs however I can-
Because he's my husband- he's my man.
This is the hardest poem I have ever written-
It's taken me 3 hours & I'm not kidd'en!

Boris welcomes school food-growing funding boost
Credit: National Trust
Every London school will be helped to become a food-growing school following the award of over £800,000 by the Big Lottery Fund to Garden Organic, the UK's leading organic growing charity.
"Encouraging kids to grow food reaps a crop of educational, social and environmental benefits that go way beyond the school gate. We've seen from the success of our food growing initiative Capital Growth, that London is nurturing a renaissance in urban food growing," said Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
The charity will use the money to help schools link up with volunteers, local businesses and community groups experienced in food growing and to support improvements in equipment and training for school staff.
Garden Organic led the government-backed Food Growing in School's Taskforce which reported in March last year. The report highlighted the benefits of school gardens in deepening children's understanding of how to eat healthily and the importance of the natural environment.


text: It was suggested in my Who's Who thread (links to my first, second, third, and fourth posts) to start an official 270DA/280DA thread. Well, here it is. If you read the above mentioned posts, it explains how I acquired my 2009 Sea Ray 270 Sundancer. I knew from doing some research into my future purchase that the 270 was a new design. Some of it's "features" were even discussed in this forum. Though the 2010 models have yet to be listed on the Sea Ray site, the 270DA is now the official 2010 280DA. My beautiful 2009 Sea Ray 270DA Sundancer. This post is to recap my experience to date with my 270/280 Sundancer. The most notable change is the cabin entrance being moved to the port side as the below picture shows. The effect of this design change is dramatic, which for myself is overall an improvement. Moving the entrance means that the 280's dinette is gone. For myself, being a fairly large man, I do not feel the loss. Of course, the V-berth still has its table in which I can sit comfortably. That's due to the offset length of each side of the V-berth. The large sunlight window and hatch opens up cabin with natural light, making it seem bigger. Also, I'm a sucker for being able to fall asleep under the stars; a result of my northern Canada up-bringing. All the accouterments and details of the cabin are excellent. From mood lighting to storage, everything is well thought out except for few. First is the bar support for the table when converting the V-berth into a full berth. The "whalebone" bar is flimsy in my opinion and actually a little short. I assume that's due to the hull being wider (beam can vary by inches during manufacturing). I can see that causing problems in the future. The other thing to note is that there is no privacy curtains. Obviously for the V-berth, it's not really possible but the mid-cabin should have one and it don't. Speaking of the mid-cabin, having the cabin entrances steps starboard means the entering/exiting the mid-cabin is easy. Now onto the features, my 270 was fully loaded but with some differences in products/features. First, the flat panel HDTV/DVD combo (in 4:3 aspect ratio) above the mid-cabin entrance. This is different from the flip-down unit in the brochure. Honestly, I think it's better since you have a more eye level viewing angle from the V-berth. The second feature (and complaint) is the iPod doc. This does NOT fit the iPhone but only the various iPods/nanos/etc. This is the first thing that I will change by upgrading the doc to a better cradle. The second peeve is the remote for the stereo, obviously it won't work with the head-end in the electrical cabinet. I'll rectify that with an IR repeater unit. The rest of the features are, what I consider, must haves: Camper top; though only the sides roll-up with fly screens. Transom shower; which goes in hand with the hot water system. Large bilge. My only complaint is that there should be a floor/hull grill (to protect things) as there is little room to plant your feet because of the bilge pump, sounder, sea cocks/strainers take up hull/floor space. Electric grill; sun deck wet bar. Double wide helm seat. Some may not like this but I find it very comfortable and my wife can sit with me. Easy access to the working deck. Simple and classic helm layout with Smart Craft gauges, lighted toggle/rocker switches, and room for more. RayMarine C70, 240 VHF/DSC, and a Sony digital stereo remote are laid out nicely too. Storage compartment for binoculars, horn, whatever. Lot's of space on the sundeck; the rear seat becomes a sun pad and does so without losing storage space from what I can tell. The swim platform is narrow and is integrated with the hull. This provides for more deck space while still being functional. Don't expect to put a dinghy (or anything else like a cooler, etc.) on the back, there's no room. It's just enough to enter/exit the boat. Sea Ray put hand rails but with the camper top, they're underneath. I solved this by exposing the camper top rear support poles. Generator; enough said. Air cond./heat pump; enough said. So... what's missing. Well, being a techie the first upgrade will be a wireless/wi-fi connection and Sirius satellite radio. This will be accomplished by a Ericsson W35 unit w/ ext. antenna, and a SCCS/SNY1 receiver w/ antenna. The second upgrade (which I hope Santa brings) is a RayMarine RD218 radar. This unfortunately problematic as Sea Ray does NOT offer a radar for the 270 and therefore no mount. More over, the fiberglass arch only has a 3 7/8" round pad for a mount. Standard SeaView or ScanStrut won't fit. I'll have to go custom route to get a radar mount. I'm still working on that. The Sea Ray dealer here has a 270 in the show room and I'll be getting dimensions so there's no surprises. The picture below shows my temporary installation of the wireless/wi-fi. That's all for now... Cheers, Kaoru

They now host the AFC North leading Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday Womens Wil Lutz 2019 Jersey , in a pivotal contest for both teams. The Saints have had some struggles offensively in recent weeks, failing to score a first half touchdown in each of the last three contests and averaging just 17 points in those three games. New Orleans still ranks second in the league in points scored, averaging 32.8 per game, while their 386 yards of total offense per outing ranks 7th. They take on a Steelers defense that ranks 9th in the league, surrendering 334 yards per game, but give up 22.6 points per outing, ranking 15th. The New Orleans offense is usually much more dynamic at home, and today we look at how they match up against the Steel Curtain defense. SAINTS PASS OFFENSE vs. STEELERS PASS DEFENSE Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty ImagesSaints passing game has produced 259 yards per game to rank 11th, unfamiliar ground for a Sean Payton coached team that normally is at the top of the league. Quarterback Drew Brees has been efficient, completing nearly 75% of his passes with 31 touchdowns and 5 interceptions while throwing for 3,666 yards. He has five 300-yd. games this season, but none in the last month. Brees and his passing game have been in a monthlong slump, averaging just 176 yards through the air over the past four games. The New Orleans passing attack has two of the most difficult weapons to contain in the league with third year wideout Michael Thomas and second year running back Alvin Kamara, but have gotten very little consistency from any of their other receivers. Michael Thomas has 8 touchdown receptions, and leads the NFL with 109 receptions, breaking his own franchise record, while his 1,267 receiving yards are just 132 away from surpassing Joe Horn for the single season team record. Kamara, one of the most versatile running backs in the league, has caught 77 passes for 627 yards and 4 scores. The two have been responsible for well over 50% of the team's aerial production, but New Orleans will likely need another receiving threat to be effective in the playoffs. Tight end Benjamin Watson is third on the team in receptions (32) for 365 yards and two touchdowns. He has the trust of his quarterback in key situations, but the veteran is no longer effective on a weekly basis. Rookie wideout Tre'Quan Smith is loaded with gamebreaking potential. He has two 100-yd receiving games this season to go along with his 24 catches for 386 yards and four scores, but has not been a consistent threat and has struggled with drops and positioning. Undrafted rookie Keith Kirkwood is a physical wideout with the athleticism to challenge defenses, and has worked his way into favor with 11 receptions for 174 yards and 2 touchdowns in just six games of action. Tight ends Josh Hill and Dan Arnold have had some nice moments, and have combined for 26 catches for 334 yards and two scores. Brees' targets have had difficulty getting separation from coverage in recent weeks, and the extra time it takes to get open has allowed the opposing pass rush to create pressure. Six of the year's 15 sacks on Brees have occurred in the last four games, and the additional pressure has forced the Hall of Fame quarterback into mistakes. Brees has thrown only five interceptions this season, but four of them have come in the past four contests. Left tackle Terron Armstead has missed the last five games with a pectoral injury, but seems poised to return in time for the playoffs, perhaps this week against Pittsburgh. His replacement, Jermon Bushrod, has struggled in pass protection, and left last week's win over Carolina with a hamstring injury that has him questionable this week. The Saints moved left guard Andrus Peat over to tackle to finish the game, but Peat is much more effective inside. Another injury to watch is center Max Unger, who suffered a concussion against the Panthers. He was replaced by Cameron Tom, but the team has brought in linemen for tryouts this week to prepare for a possible shuffle in protection if Armstead or Unger can't go. Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty ImagesQuestions along the New Orleans offensive line could spell disaster against a Steelers defense that has 46 sacks on the year. Pittsburgh's pass defense ranks 13th in the league Cheap Wil Lutz Youth Jersey , giving up around 237 yards per game. They win when they get pressure up front, particularly from the edge. T.J. Watt leads the team with 11 sacks, and his four forced fumbles are indicative of the havoc he creates on opposing offenses. He is complimented at the other edge by Bud Dupree and his 5.5 sacks, and both players benefit from standout play by the linemen in front of them. Defensive end Cam Heyward, son of former Saints running back Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, has added six takedowns, while Javon Hargrave (6.5 sacks) and Stephon Tuitt (4) have given the Steelers a disruptive presence inside. The ability of Pittsburgh to get pressure without blitzing has allowed them to fortify some early season breakdowns in coverage in the secondary. The Steelers have only 7 interceptions on the year though, and have allowed some running room in the middle of the field after the catch. Cornerback Joe Haden is their best coverage player, and will most likely be matched up against Michael Thomas in man to man situations, but Pittsburgh's secondary has lacked a playmaking presence. Corners Mike Hilton, Artie Burns, and Coty Sensabaugh, along with safeties Sean Davis, Morgan Burnett, and rookie first rounder Terrell Edmunds are best suited at keeping the play in front of them, rather than matching up in one on one coverage. The Pittsburgh safeties and linebackers have been vulnerable against opposing tight ends and running backs at times, although they managed to control nemesis Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots a week ago, and some coverage schemes have even had their linebackers cover opposing wideouts in intermediate man coverage.Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports~ Matchup to Watch: Saints offensive tackles vs. Steelers edge rushers ~The Steelers held Tom Brady and the Patriots to under 300 yards passing last week. Although they played well in coverage, the primary reason for their success was due to the pressure they put on Brady. Pittsburgh can pressure the passer with a variety of players, and the Saints line has struggled to protect Brees in recent weeks. Armstead's return could be a giant boost, but the team may choose to save him for the playoff run. When at full strength, the New Orleans line held formidable pass rushes like the Rams, Vikings, and Eagles, among others, at bay to allow Brees to flourish. SAINTS RUN OFFENSE vs. STEELERS RUN DEFENSE Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesThe 8th ranked New Orleans rushing attack averages 127 yards per game. Alvin Kamara leads the team with 860 yards on the ground, averaging 4.6 per carry and scoring 12 touchdowns, second best in the NFL. Mark Ingram has contributed 582 yards and five scores, while averaging 4.8/attempt, and is only 152 rushing yards and one touchdown away from passing Deuce McAllister as the Saints all-time leader in both categories. This is the most dangerous 1-2 punch in the league at the position, and each are capable of picking up the tough yardage inside or breaking big plays in the open field. The New Orleans line has brutalized opponents much of the year, and has paved the way for a league leading 22 rushing touchdowns. Although the entire line have been road graders for their talented backs, the team prefers to run over their right side, where guard Larry Warford and Ryan Ramczyk have had Pro Bowl worthy years. Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesPittsburgh allows 97 yards per game rushing, ranking 6th in the NFL. Inside linebackers Vince Williams, Jon Bostic White Cameron Jordan Jersey , and L.J. Fort, along with safety Edmunds, are extremely active and effective in pursuit, while the Steelers defensive line stuffs the inside rush regularly. Only four opponents have gained over 100 rushing yards against Pittsburgh, but the Jaguars, Broncos, and Chargers have all run the ball effectively against them over the last month. Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports~ Matchup to Watch: Peat/Unger/Warford vs. Hargrave/Heyward/Tuitt ~Despite the injuries up front, the Saints still rushed for 155 yards against a top ranked Panthers run defense. The team needs to win the battles inside to not only provide a clean pocket for Brees, but open up cutback lanes for Ingram and Kamara. The Steelers linebackers have struggled with elusive backs in the open field, but flourish when their linemates win the point of attack, leaving them free for pursuit or to finish plays in the backfield. WHAT TO LOOK FORhoto by Rick Stewart/Getty ImagesThe Saints passing attack has averaged 312 yards in games played at home, as opposed to just 218 yards through the air when they play on the road. The Pittsburgh defense is not designed for alot of man to man coverage. They instead prefer playing off the ball, ideally forcing opposing receivers to work through traffic in hopes that their pass rush can get to the quarterback first. The Saints receivers play well in intermediate zones, and if the line can hold up Brees is a master at carving up such coverage schemes. New Orleans often likes to take deep shots early in home games, but the onus will again be on the team's wideouts to gain separation, particularly on a quick rhythm passing attack that they are expected to employ. The Saints have been able to run the ball effectively in nearly every game, but the banged up offensive must be able to establish dominance for coach Sean Payton to maintain confidence in his playcalling. Kamara, Ingram, and the tight ends could play a key role in the passing game against a Steelers defense that has struggled against the positions. Pittsburgh has also not played well against physical running games, so New Orleans will likely try to establish balance immediately, but look for downfield shots early against their secondary and to slow the Steelers outside rush.New Orleans Saints vs. Washington Redskins series history and predictions The 3-1 New Orleans Saints host the Washington Redskins this Monday night, returning home after two straight road games for their first prime time game of the season. The defending NFC South champions come into the game as winners of three straight, while the 2-1 Redskins are coming off a bye week. This is the 27th meeting between New Orleans and Washington, with the Redskins holding a 17-9 edge. That includes a 9-4 record in games that are played in New Orleans, battleground for this game. These two teams were division rivals when the Saints first entered the league in 1967, as members of the NFL's Capitol division, along with the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. They were joined again in 1969 prior to the AFL-NFL merger, after New Orleans played one year in the Century division. In the Saints second game as a franchise, they fell to Washington at home, 30-10, but exacted a measure of revenge later that year by defeating the Redskins 30-14 on the road. The Saints were led that day by one of the early stars in it's franchise history, wide receiverDanny Abramowitz, who had 7 catches for 144 yards and a score. Washington held a 3-2 record against the expansion Saints prior to the league merger and realignment in 1970. They would meet just 12 times between 1970 and 2000, with the Redskins winning nine of the match ups, including all six meetings from 1980-90. This will be the Redskins 10th visit to the Mercedes Benz Superdome, where they hold a 7-2 record against the Saints.Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty ImagesDrew Brees is just 2-4 against Washington since joining the Saints in 2006 Cameron Jordan Jersey 2019 , including 1-2 at home, with both victories coming in overtime shootouts. On December 6, 2009, New Orleans entered FedEx field in Washington with an undefeated 11-0 record. The Redskins kept the Saints defense on their heels most of the game, finishing with 488 total yards. Quarterback Jason Campbell performed especially well, throwing for 367 yards and three scores while spreading the ball to nine different receivers. New Orleans could not establish a running game, averaging under 3 yards per carry and finishing with just 55 yards. Leaving Brees to shoulder the load of the offense, he would match Campbell strike for strike, finishing with 419 yards passing and two scores of his own. With less than 30 seconds to go in the first half and New Orleans driving for a field goal, Redskins defensive back Kareem Moore intercepted the Saints quarterback. During the return however, Moore was stripped of the ball by New Orleans wideout Robert Meachem, who returned the thievery 44 yards for a touchdown to tie the score at 17 at halftime. Meachem, who had a magnificent game with 8 catches and 142 receiving yards, played hero again when he snagged a 53-yd. touchdown strike from Brees with just over a minute remaining to send the game into overtime. New Orleans would come away with a 33-30 victory, in one of the most exciting moments of their Super Bowl championship season. The Saints and Redskins may forever be linked for a development off the field, rather than on the gridiron. Entering the 1999 draft, then-Saints coach Mike Ditka wanted desperately to move from his team's 12th overall selection into the top of the draft to draft a running back. He finally found a suitor in the Washington Redskins, and proceeded to pull off one of the biggest, and one of the most controversial, trades in NFL history. Washington traded their pick, the 5th overall, to New Orleans. In exchange, the Redskins received the Saints 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th round picks of the 1999 draft, along with the Saints 1st and 3rd round picks of the 2000 draft. New Orleans used that pick to select Ricky Williams, the Heisman Trophy winning running back from Texas. Washington would package their picks in other trades and wind up obtaining three Pro Bowl players in cornerback Champ Bailey, linebacker LaVar Arrington, and offensive lineman Jon Jansen. Ditka would be (mercifully) fired after the '99 season, and Williams would play just 3 years in New Orleans, rushing for over 1,000 yards in two of those seasons. It wasn't the first time that the Redskins fleeced New Orleans, or Ditka White Drew Brees Jersey , in a trade. Just years earlier, during the 1997 offseason, Washington dealt quarterback Heath Shuler, the 3rd overall pick in the 1994 draft, to the Saints in exchange for a 5th round pick in the 1997 draft, and a 3rd round pick the following season. Shuler, who had lost his starting job in Washington due to consistently poor play, is considered one of the biggest draft busts of all time. He would play just one season with Ditka in New Orleans, completing just 52% of his passes while throwing only two touchdown passes and 14 interceptions. Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty ImagesThe Saints would not defeat the Redskins in the Superdome, site of this contest, until the 1992 season. Washington came into the game as defending Super Bowl champions, while New Orleans had won the NFC West the year before. The Saints dominated the Skins that day, led by their Dome Patrol defense, which sacked Super Bowl M.V.P. Mark Rypien four times in a 20-3 win. New Orleans has not had that same amount of success against Washington quarterbacks in recent years. In the six meetings against the Redskins since Sean Payton became head coach in 2006 (he was suspended for the 2012 season), the New Orleans defense has allowed Redskins quarterbacks an average of 333 yards passing and 37 points per game, while giving up 12 touchdown passes and intercepting them just once. The last time these two teams met was in the Mercedes Benz Superdome on November 19th last year, one of the most exciting games of the 2017 season. Drew Brees and Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins combined for 707 passing yards and five touchdown passes in a classic duel. Brees fired the last shots, leading his team to two touchdowns and a 2-pt. conversion in the final six minutes of the game and an overtime drive to prevail 34-31. Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty ImagesThe Saints will face a different Redskins quarterback this time in Alex Smith, a player who has also given the New Orleans fan base nightmares over the years. (A certain divisional playoff game in the 2012 may come to mind) Smith will have plenty of help offensively. Tight ends Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis, along with receiver Jamison Crowder, have caused havoc in the Saints secondary before. The Redskins also added dangerous wideout Paul Richardson in the offseason, along with former (for a brief time) New Orleans running back Adrian Peterson. Washington also has a physical and deep front seven defensively that has them near the top of the league rankings. Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesThe Saints welcome their Pro Bowl running back Mark Ingram back to the lineup this week, returning from a four game suspension. New Orleans is coming off of their best defensive effort of the season, and look to match up well against a Redskins offense that attacks opponents with their backs and tight ends moreso than their outside receivers. New Orleans will be without wideout Ted Ginn, out with a knee injury, but still have two of the top offensive threats in the game with Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara, now rejoined by Ingram. Quarterback Drew Brees sits on the verge of one of the most prestigious records in all of sports. With just 201 passing yards, Brees will pass Peyton Manning as the NFL's all-time passing yardage leader. Brees could hold this record by halftime, and almost certainly before the end of the 3rd quarter, with the matchup advantages that New Orleans looks to have against the Washington secondary. Coach Sean Payton's Saints normally start fast in home prime time games, and has a chance to continue building momentum as an NFC contender as they begin the second quarter of their season.

Goat Milk Shampoo Bar SAMSON
Hand Made in small batches with Raw Goat's Milk - 1 BAR
Ingredients: 25% Sodium Olivate (Olive Oil); 23.5% Caprea Lac (Raw Goat's Milk); 23% Sodium Castorate (Castor Oil); 23% Sodium Cocoate (Coconut Oil); 2.5% Rosemary & Cedarwood Natural Steam Distilled Essential Oils; 2% Distilled Water; 1% Citric Acid
Price is for 1 bar, approximately 100 grams
Research about the effect of certain ESSENTIAL OILS on HAIR GROWTH and the prevention of BALDNESS has shown that Rosemary and Cedarwood Essential Oils are effective. both proven to be a remedy in certain cases of hair loss like alopecia areata and premature baldness. See 1998 study including treatment with Rosemary and Cedarwood Essential Oils (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9828867) and 2015 study where Rosemary Essential Oil performed the same as Minoxidil (Rogain) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25842469
This resulted in a new shampoo bar with NATURAL Essential Oils Rosemary & Cedarwood
Our Shampoo bars have a lower pH than our regular soap bars. If the pH is too high it increases the negative electrical charge of the hair and, therefore, increases friction between the hairs. This may lead to frizzy hair, cuticle damage and hair breakage.
Rosemary Natural Essential Oil is known to reduce stress, increase circulation and is commonly used against mental fatigue. Rosemary also reduces pain and inflammation, stimulates hair growth (comparable to Rogaine but without the skin irritation) and repels certain biting insects like mosquitoes.
Cedarwood Natural Essential Oil has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antifungal, tonic, astringent, sedative properties. It is a natural deodorizer and has insecticidal properties as well. These impressive characteristics of cedarwood essential oil make it useful for common skin problems like eczema, dry scalp, acne, fungal infections and certain types of hair loss.
Benefits of our Home Made Goat's Milk Soap & Shampoo
Research has shown that Olive Oil may be applied to the skin for minor wounds, minor burns, psoriasis, stretch-marks and for protecting the skin from ultraviolet (UV) damage after sun exposure. Olive oil is an intense moisturizer, easily removes makeup and does not clog pores.
Castor Oil stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to soften and hydrate the skin, slowing down the aging process as well as preventing stretch-marks. It reduces skin inflammation caused by sunburns, acne or dry skin and helps to fade blemishes and scars.
Coconut Oil contains 50% lauric acid and research has proven its antimicrobial properties (kills or inhibits growth of: bacteria, fungi and some viruses). It is solid at room temperature, making our soap bars nice and firm, long lasting and it produces a rich lather.

Below you'll find general characteristics for the Sagittarius man, woman, child, lover,chanel sunglasses, and friend. At the bottom of this page,chanel sunglasses, you'll find links to articles with detailed personality profiles for every day that falls under the Sagittarius sign. Read on to see if the characteristics ring true for you or the Archer in your life..
Inside your mouth your tongue is pressed flat against the sensitive side of my cock, like wallpaper,chanel handbags, there is absolutely no space. Very forcefully you begin bobbing your head up and down, The whole time you are also rubbing your tongue up and down the shaft. This is the key, it is what turns a good blowjob into a mind-blowing sexual experience.
Best of luck to you as you plan your own black and white party! Once you plan your first theme party, you will want to start planning others as soon as it's over. Hopefully you can retire that same old hangout you visit every Friday night. And don't forget to have fun!.
That push-pull mindset occasionally causes him to be indecisive with the ball, which results in careless turnovers. But he puts pressure on defenses when he's attacking and his shots are falling. He's their leading scorer and most reliable option on offense who has shown on multiple occasions that he's capable of carrying his team..
That goes a long ways to perpetuating the nickname that Bryant has become so fond of using. Crawford even told LeBatard what he thought it sounded like. According to Crawford, Bryant would say, "Fish,, Fish,chanel bags, Fisher - tsssss, tssss." He was speaking about Derek Fisher,chanel handbags, who used to be the main point guard for the LA Lakers as they were going after championships.
They all know who the leaders are, and in a way the leaders for our team are new. David Lee stepping into a leadership role, Steph Curry stepping into a leadership role, and the rest of the team embracing that has been big for us. But clearly if you watch the way we play,chanel bags, we don't have a player on our team - like a lot of the best teams in the NBA do - where the shot clock is winding down in a one-point game and you give it to or or and say, "Go score!" We don't have that player on our team.
Whether we should or not is a separate question. But the fact is -- we do. All the time. Relive Michael Jordan's epic 1982 NCAA Tournament run with the University of North Carolina - which culminated with Michael's famous championship-winning shot vs. The signed white No. 23 UNC jersey, which is the same type of jersey worn by Michael in the '82 final,chanel outlet, is made all the more special by the complete 1982 NCAA Tournament field embroidered on the back.


text: I've seen it hinted before that there's a way to build light fixture families so they behave like they would IRL when placed on a sloped ceiling, but I can't find any information on how. For example, a ceiling fan has a cover plate that is flush to the ceiling, and then the fan hangs straight down from that. I know there's the "always vertical" option, but that only helps so much when you want the fixtures to look right in sections, renderings, etc. The one idea I had was to nest one family that's set to "always vertical" inside another family that's not, but it didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this, or if it even is possible? Thanks.

Shot at Sala Namron Market in Bangkok, Thailand.
I wandered about the deserted market which was on the opposite side of the Thonburi station continuously. It was modestly large. Yet I didn't know the name. And it was mentioned on my guidebook, neither. Most of the shops were closed and the tranquil atmosphere wafted there. I could see a few people working in spots. The woman in this photo was one of the few people.
A big plastic bucket which was filled with the water was placed in front of her. And she put her hand into the water. Something seemed to be dipped in the bucket. While she put her hand into the bucket, she stirred. According to her behavior, she was washing something in the bucket. Anyway, no one was around her. And she kept working alone.

Heavy Metal has released the second in their series of dirt-cheap, frill-free collections of Requiem: Vampire Knight for the American market. This completely insane series, created by Pat Mills and Oliver Ledroit for a French publisher, Nickel, is one of the most gleefully demented and brain-bludgeoningly bizarre series I've ever read, completely entertaining from start to finish, and very poorly served by the slapdash way that Heavy Metal has chosen to package it.
Requiem is the story of Heinrich and Rebecca, lovers who betrayed each other in World War Two and have met again in Hell for a second chance. Unfortunately, he's now a vampire and she's now a ghoul and Hell is a planet where time runs backwards and pirate queens in flying ships wage war on cybernetic werewolves and soldiers in Dracula's army carry weapons that fire bolts and go "TEPESS!" when they're used. About every fifth page, a new plate gets spun and somehow Mills makes this colossal, unwieldy and thunderously odd series work. The whole story is a great exercise in making readers say "You have got to be kidding" aloud as often as possible.
Requiem is published in France as an annual 48-page story, with nine of the planned dozen issues out so far. Heavy Metal has collected the first six in two volumes, the second of which came out earlier this year. These books were designed to get the job done as cheaply as possible. There are no wasted pages among the 144 between the covers; copyright information is on the inside front and everything else is comic. You're telling me they couldn't afford a single extra signature? Anything to space this out, give some creator credits, background information, even just basic front- and endpapers? It's not like anybody's ever going to mistake Requiem for high art, but that doesn't mean that Heavy Metal needs to release it in a package so amateurish and sloppy. Recommended for older readers despite itself, basically.

Latest News
North Segment Construction Begins
Construction will begin on the North Segment (from Winchester Road to Commercial Parkway) on March 27, 2019, and is planned to last until September 2020.
The initial phase of work will be on the east side of the roadway, impacting northbound traffic. Traffic will be reduced to two lanes in each direction for the entire construction period. All business along the corridor will remain open and accessible at all times.
North Segment Right-of-Way Acquisition Complete
All of the Right-of-Way and easements needed for the North Segment (from Winchester Road to Commercial Parkway) have been completed. TDOT is currently reviewing the acquisition records to certify the process.
The completion of this phase marks a major milestone for the project. After TDOT certifies the Right-of-Way, the North Segment will move into the construction bidding process in early 2018. Construction should begin soon after, probably in the early spring.
Right of Way Acquisition Continues
The Right-of-Way acquisition process is still underway on the north segment. The project team is currently performing appraisals (and independent review appraisals to confirm values) and working with each property owner to acquire the permanent Right of Way and temporary easements that are necessary to begin construction.
This is one of the most time-consuming phases of the work, but it is also critically important that it be done right to ensure that all impacted property owners are properly compensated.
In the meantime, work is continuing on the other project segments. The design plans for the Middle Segment (From Craft Road to Winchester Road) are 90% complete, and the plans for the South Segment (From Shelby Drive to Craft Road) are roughly 60% complete.
Project History and Purpose
Elvis Presley Boulevard (State Route 3/US 51) serves as both a gateway to an important tourist attraction, Graceland, as well as the major commercial corridor for residents of the Whitehaven community. Commercial decline, with increased vacancies and neglect, has resulted in an increase in crime and a deteriorated appearance along a corridor intended to welcome visitors to both Graceland and the City of Memphis. A variety of economic development plans prepared by local residents, the City and Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (the company managing Graceland and related attractions) call for improvements along the corridor to spur redevelopment and create a more appropriate and welcoming gateway entrance to Graceland and the City.
Due to the age of the roadway and the heavy levels of truck traffic, the road condition has deteriorated, creating safety issues in the area. Additionally, the high levels of pedestrian traffic associated with Graceland and the lack of both pedestrian-friendly crossings and continuous sidewalks create an unwelcoming and potentially unsafe environment for tourists and other pedestrians moving through the corridor.
Project Description
The project involves almost 3 miles of improvements along Elvis Presley Boulevard, from Shelby Drive to Brooks Road. Projects elements will include:
|Roadway Improvements
|Sidewalks and Crosswalks
|Streetscape Improvements
|Drainage Improvements
|Pavement Enhancement)
|Street Lighting
|Bicycle/Pedestrian Improvements
|Utility Enhancements
|Traffic Signals
These will substantially improve the operational, functional, and aesthetic characteristics of the roadway.

It was announced this fall that Bank of America, one of the largest creditors in the nation, will stop offering any unsecured personal bank loans as of October 31, 2009. Bank of America has, along with several other lenders, been one of the primary sources of personal loans for people with less than stellar credit. The company has a large amount of bad loans still on the books today, and they are trying to stay solvent by dumping this bad debt practice.
Unfortunately for many people, this means fewer options. Sometimes, a consumer may need access to money for purposes of debt consolidation, or a life change such as going to college or a wedding. Personal loans that are unsecured have traditionally been one way for consumers to address these kinds of events and these kinds of needs.
Some options still exist
Not all personal loans are going away, of course. The company will still offer home equity loans and other loans that have some sort of property as a security on the loan. It is unsecured loans, which put the bank at much higher risk than with other types that are discontinued.
Still, there are many other options available for consumers that need personal loans that are unsecured. Wells Fargo, as well as several other major banks, intend to continue to offer these types of loans as they have in the past. While it's still a little early to tell, it is of course possible that some of these other banks will follow suit. Still others may jump at the opportunity to get into a new market, even as Bank of America exits.
Local credit unions are especially known for offering personal loans to their members. While the terms on an unsecured personal loan won't be as favorable as they would be for a secured loan or another type of loan such as a home loan, the credit union may still be competitive with those national financing companies who are still offering personal loans.
There are also other lenders that specifically work with borrowers who have less than stellar credit and who need personal loans. These lenders are more designed to handle the risk that comes with unsecured personal loans.
Do your homework
Before you decide to get a personal loan, make sure you do the legwork. Know what you're getting into. Know how high the interest rate is, and recognize that the key is paying these types of loans off as rapidly as you can so as to avoid massive fees and interest charges.

Where the Sam Hell can I get a lousy $1500 unsecured personal loan w/o a bunch of crap? All I can find are lists after lists after lists of indirect idiots! I want a direct lender or a decent bank dammit! HELP!!- JKMc/K&K in Brookhaven Pa-USA
Posted June 14th, 2010 by Eric Skhor at 10:49 am -
I guess it shouldn't be surprising that BoA is changing their lending standards. After the financial crisis, I imagine most banks will be a little tighter with their money.

Title I
What is Title / LAP?
Title I, Part A is a federal program that serves the unique needs of children — kindergarten to grade 12 — who struggle to learn. Title I programs and services provide customized instruction and curricula that helps these students meet academic standards and take an active, engaged interest in what they learn and can do. As the oldest and largest federal education program, Title I programs build equity of opportunity for children whose struggles often keep them on the academic sidelines.
Schoolwide Program – Title I, Part A (Lincoln Elementary, Valley View Elementary, Morgan Middle School)
Schoolwide means that all students—based on academic need—are eligible to receive the additional instruction this federal program will fund.
Targeted Assistance Model – Title I, Part A (Morgan Middle School)
Targeted assistance makes it possible to provide the same benefits but only to selected students based on academic need.
2017 - 2018 District Report Card
Printed copies of the report card may be picked up at the District Office, 1300 E 3rd Ave, Ellensburg, WA 98926
2017-2018 OSPI Report Cards
Parent / Community
Parents: If you would like to receive information about your child's teacher(s), please contact the building principal. The following list shows the information that is available to you.
- Whether the teacher has met state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.
- Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or conditional certification.
- The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and other graduate certification or degree and the field of discipline of the certification and/or degree.
- Whether students are receiving services by a paraprofessional and the paraprofessionals' qualifications.
Title 1 Parental Involvement
The Board recognizes that parent involvement contributes to the achievement of academic standards by students participating in District programs. The Board views the education of students as a cooperative effort among school, parents and community. The Board expects that its schools will carry out programs, activities and procedures in accordance with the statutory definition of parental involvement. Parental involvement means the participation of parents in regular, two-way and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, including ensuring that parents:
- Play an integral role in assisting their child's learning;
- Are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's education at school; and
- Are full partners in their child's education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child.
The Board of Directors adopts as part of this policy the following guidance for parent involvement. The District shall:
A. Put into operation programs, activities and procedures for the involvement of parents in all of its Title 1 schools consistent with federal laws. Those programs, activities and procedures will be planned and operated with meaningful consultation with parents of participating children;
B. Work with its schools to ensure that the required school-level parental involvement policies meet the requirements of federal law, including a school parent compact;
C. To the extent practicable, provide full opportunities for the participation of parents with limited English proficiency, parents with disabilities and parents of migratory children, including providing information and school reports in an understandable and uniform format in a language parents understand including alternative formats upon request; and
D. Involve the parents of children served in Title I, Part A schools in decisions about how the one percent of Title I, Part A funds reserved for parental involvement is spent.

I think you meet yourself through your children. My first awareness of this was understanding the guises we develop. My babies were born wearing raw unhidden emotion, they feel and they yell or laugh and then they learn to keep those feelings to themselves – we encourage it, ignoring tantrums, patiently rehearsing the words they must say to disguise their contempt of a disappointing birthday present, telling them to stop that delightful squeaking because it is too irritating for me.
Once clothed in emotional control it can be hard to be naked even to ourselves. I have found the way back to me through knowing my kids, watching them act differently to the way I would – not wrong just different, and learning to see and accept that difference.

South Korea announced a package of measures Wednesday to utilize information and communications technology (ICT) and science technology to revitalize the country's economy suffering from weak exports and flagging manufacturing sector.
Under the measures discussed in a meeting presided over by Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, and announced by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, the government will make use of the latest ICT to secure new growth engines.
The government said it will double research and development (R&D) spending to 1.25 trillion won (US$1.07 billion) for the local service sector in 2021. The R&D budget will be poured into the seven service sectors, including software, medicine and tourism, which are considered new growth engines, officials said.
The move comes amid a deep slump in the manufacturing sector which accounts for nearly 30 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), the ministry said.
The manufacturing sector, which has been the engine of South Korea's economic development in the past, is directly affected by exports. However, the sector's employment rate hovers around 17 percent in recent years, lagging far behind its GDP contribution.
The service industry, on the other hand, has been strengthening its presence in the economy, hiring 70 percent of the country's total workforce in 2015. But it accounted for 60 percent of the country's total added value due to poor labor productivity.
The government said it will also make the local manufacturing industry "smarter" by introducing automated smart factories to enhance the quality of products, cut production costs, and streamline and speed up the manufacturing process.
The government said it will construct an accumulated 5,000 smart factories by the first half of 2017 and another 10,000 by 2020.
The government will also help local firms to export more ICT products, especially in the aerospace and nuclear power sectors.

The government also plans to use next year's Winter Olympic Games -- set to take place in the nation's eastern alpine city of PyeongChang -- as an opportunity to debut a number of cutting-edge products.
Athletes and visitors to various Olympic venues in PyeongChang, about 180 km east of Seoul, and nearby areas will be able to experience a wide range of advanced products and technology in the ICT sector, officials said. (Yonhap)

Hong Kong is a city of juxtapositions. Gleaming skyscrapers tower next to traditional shopfronts encased in bamboo scaffolding, movie stars queue alongside regular joes for the best egg tarts in the city and you can drop hundreds on a Michelin starred meal or choose to fill your belly at the street cart next door for a couple of dollars. It's these juxtapositions that make the city such an exciting place in which to eat. Hong Kong's Instafamous dishes are a breeze to find, it's those truly local food experiences that are a bit trickier. Here are our favourite local, iconic food experiences in Hong Kong to get you started:
Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links, thank you for supporting our blog by using these links.
But first, watch our Hong Kong food videos…
1. Breakfasting like a local in a wet market
Break your fast like a local with a bowl of jook- congee. The best we've ever eaten is from Mui Kee Congee, a stall housed in the food center at the top of the Fa Yuen Street wet market in Kowloon. This family business has been churning out bowls of silky rice porridge for around 40 years.
Order the congee loaded with lean pork and century egg- a duck egg that has been preserved in an ash mixture and is an imposing hue of black. Add an order of yau char kwai- a savoury doughnut which has been chopped into bite size pieces and chuck a handful into your congee.
Rice porridge sounds bland doesn't it? Trust us, you'll be wolfing down each velvety spoonful thinking you might just start each morning of your time in Hong Kong in this exact same manner. It's a great bowl of food; the century egg adds an intense earthiness, the pork melts in your mouth and texture comes from the chewy, oily pieces of doughnut. It's a breakfast fit for a king.
Mui Kee Congee, Fa Yuen Street Municipal Services Building, 123A Fa Yuen St, Mong Kok, Hong Kong. Open 7:00am to 3:00pm. Closed Tuesday.
2. Wander the streets with a classic Hong Kong bakery treat
Bo lo baau- pineapple buns are a Hong Kong staple. They don't in fact contain any pineapple but are so named for their crusty sugary topping which resembles the fruit. Take things up a notch and order a bo lo yau- a warmed pineapple bun halved and stuffed with a slice of butter.
You can order a pineapple bun in any cha chaan teng- local diner and wash it down with a milk tea, but a Hong Kong chef once told us that pineapple buns are best enjoyed on the move. Munch on a pineapple bun as you navigate the hectic streets he said, you'll find the bun tastes so much better when it's been infused with the essence of the city. We tend to agree with him.
Grab a pineapple bun from Hong Lin, 143-145, Tung Choi St, Mong Kok, Hong Kong. Open daily 6:30am to 3:00am.
3. Join the locals for house-made dim sum
Head west to Kennedy Town where you'll find one of Hong Kong's most local yum cha experiences. Yum cha- Cantonese brunch is characterised by drinking copious amounts of Chinese tea and snacking on small dishes called dim sum. Sun Hing are known for preparing all their dim sum in house guaranteeing what you'll gorge on is super fresh.
Sun Hing is slightly different to yum cha joints you may be used to. The baskets of dim sum come steaming from the kitchen and are placed on a table at the front of the restaurant. Grab your table card and head on up- the staff will show you what they've got. The chickens feet and har gow- prawn dumplings are brilliant and their custard lava buns are legendary. The interactive nature of this yum cha experience is what makes it!
P.S When you're dining at local spots in Hong Kong you'll find that space is at a minimum so you will often find yourself sharing tables with other diners. Don't feel uncomfortable, you'll quickly realise nobody gives a toss what you're up to.
Sun Hing, Shop C, G/F, 8 Smithfield Road, Kennedy Town, Western District. Open daily 3:00am to 4:00pm.
4. Eat at one of the city's fast disappearing dai pai dong
Open air street food stalls used to be on every street corner in Hong Kong. Known as dai pai dong literally translated to "big licence stall", modernisation has meant these icons of Hong Kong's food culture now number less than 25. Many of these stalls have now moved into covered premises but they remain purveyors of some of the best cooked to order food in the city.
We love Tai Chung Wah, a slightly grimy, rough dai pai dong spread over a couple of blocks. This is the place to order that plate of sweet and sour pork you've been craving, their seafood dishes are great and their bandit chicken is not only tender and crispy but garishly spectacular too.
Cantonese feast at Tai Chung Wah, G/F, 539 Fok Wing Street, Cheung Sha Wan, Hong Kong. Open daily 6:00pm to 1:00am.
Travel Insurance
No matter where you're travelling to we always recommend you have travel insurance. We use and love World Nomads. The great thing about them is that you can purchase travel insurance while you're already travelling!
We hope this Hong Kong food guide has helped you eat and explore like a traveller, not a tourist!

Gillett and Hicks given three weeks to accept £100m deal
Liverpool's American owners are under more financial pressure to settle their debts than has previously been thought, with the New York-based company bidding to take control of the club imposing a three-week deadline to take or leave their offer.
The Rhone Group's proposed £100m investment for a 40pc share would enable the Liverpool chief executive, Christian Purslow, to deliver the entire sum to the Royal Bank of Scotland, the club's bankers, to pay down £100m of debt as the bank has demanded.
However, the time pressures the club currently faces are also compounded by the fact that Liverpool appear to have just 20 days to deliver some of that £100m figure to the bank.
The presumption had always been that the deadline is July, by which time the club's current debt facility expires and must be renegotiated.
Liverpool's predicament appears to leave Rhone Group's partners Steve Langman and Robert Agostinelli in a strong position to take over a controlling stake -- despite having offered a price which values the club at a half of the £500m Tom Hicks and George Gillett rejected from Dubai International Capital two years ago.
There are currently no other prospective buyers lined up for Liverpool.
Liverpool indicated last night that there was no precise deadline date for repaying the £100m and that there is some degree of leeway. The ultimate sanction would be RBS taking over, although that is highly unlikely as RBS is a state-owned bank.
Running a Premier League club is not high on the agenda of a bank which announced a £2.6bn operating loss for the last financial year. But the endgame for Hicks and Gillett is certainly far closer than has been appreciated.
Liverpool fans have witnessed too many false dawns to harbour illusions about the latest possible saviours to be linked to their football club, but they can perhaps be forgiven that there is some serious money around this time.
Rhone Group's senior partners include Robert Agostinelli, whose ex-wife Mathilde is a senior executive at Prada. He is an acquaintance of French president Nicolas Sarkozy and has spoken with deference about Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi. Both Agostinelli and Steve Langman, another partner at Rhone, have invested in the Republican presidential campaigns of John McCain and Rudy Giuliani.
But the new names issuing around the environs of L4 are actually in a different bracket to many of those that have been sounded before.
These two are no billionaires and certainly not in the same stratosphere as those -- from Dubai's Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to Indians Mukesh Ambani and Subrata Roy -- who have been linked with the club before in these turbulent past few years.
The Rhone Group, with offices in New York, Paris and London, has an annual turnover of just £5.9m according to its most recent accounts.
The critical factor is that the firm is not in possession of the funds it invests. Like any fund management outfit, it invests cash for others -- be it pension funds or the savings of high net worth individuals.
It was the fund management arm of Rhone Group which tabled a proposal at midnight on Friday with Liverpool FC, a "distressed" business, as it sees it, and one which should yield a cash return in the medium term.
Some supporters at Liverpool may feel that they do not covet these individuals as new proprietors. Agostinelli is an individual who once described Berlusconi as "a leader who will save the country" and who also once suggested that "the left is a cancer that needs to be eradicated".
The spirit of Shankly this is most certainly not.
But if Rhone Group does turn out to be the majority shareholder at Liverpool, don't expect the imprimatur of the two partners to be all over the club.
Rhone's investors are looking at Liverpool as "just another business deal", according to one source familiar with the outfit.
Their other recent ventures have included financing for the clothes firm Quiksilver, putting money into the toy chain Early Learning Centre, and part-owning the aluminium company Almatis, which Rhone then sold, incidentally, to a former Liverpool suitor, Dubai International Capital.
With a portfolio as diverse as that, Rhone's partners are certainly not going to be willing to tolerate Tom Hicks and George Gillett commanding a controlling stake in the club.
One of the mysteries of their proposed investment -- the figure varies from £80m to £115m according to who you talk to -- is why they would be willing to put so much money in for a 40pc share, only to face the prospect of Hicks and Gillett banding together to form a 60pc controlling influence.
The details of any agreement signed off between Rhone and Liverpool would settle that. It is likely that Hicks and Gillett would have to agree to be sleeping partners, although it is understood that Agostinelli and Langman would not be seeking active involvement in the running of the club -- as the current American incumbents have.
Remoteness need not be a bad outcome. If Purslow can resolve the £100m issue, he can set about rescheduling his club's debts over three years on better terms, rather than the sequence of 12-month arrangements which seems to make every June an anxious time at Anfield, and there is confidence that if the club can be put on more secure financial footing in this way, then further capital can be secured to build the new Stanley Park stadium which has been the key to the club's financial future for so long.
The suggestions are that Rhone Group would buy into that idea.
Needless to say, Hicks and Gillett have not expressed any great delight about Rhone Group, though the plight the club are now in does not give them room for manoeuvre with RBS.
The future of the club is in the hands of Purslow, whom RBS see as the individual to deliver back some of the money they are owed. (© Independent News Service)
