That reminds me, my Israeli carry license needs renewal in June.

Crossing the border into Bolivia was a bit of a mission. It was supposed to be a 7-hour journey but ended up being closer to 11. The reason wasn't the border crossing, which was relatively painless but the non-disclosed stops along the way.
From Puno, we crossed the border into Bolivia and arrived in Copacabana. Here, you have to pay a tax to enter the town. It wasn't explained why. We were also told that we'd be stopping for an hour as it was lunchtime so we could go and explore and get a bite to eat. This wasn't expected but OK, it was nice to stretch the legs!
After lunch, we arrived at Tiquina where we had to pay another tax to enter the town (again, no explanation), get off the bus, and take a small speedboat across a river, which we had to pay for (of course). We waited for another 45 minutes for the bus to be transported across, all the while being hounded to buy some locals to buy their street eats or cheap trinkets. Oh, how we will not miss that.
To top it off, we arrived in La Paz around 6pm to manic traffic, so bad that we couldn't make it to the bus station. They ended up dropping us off further down the road.
We had an Air BnB booked in Sopocachi, a bohemian neighbourhood in the central part of La Paz. Having an apartment to ourselves for 4 nights was great and we made ourselves right at home.
Of course, we did a walking tour. It was alright, as far as walking tours go, but not the best we've been on.
We started at San Pedro prison which you may have heard of if you've read Marching Powder by Rusty Young. It's a large prison, containing 2500 inmates (including wives and children), renowned as being a society within itself where the inmates are governed by their own rules and laws. Divided into 8 "districts", some more affluent than others, the inmates buy or rent "cells" from other each other. The whole operation of the prison is run by the inmates, not by any prison officials, of which there are only 14! They have jobs in the prison and the more you earn, the nicer your cell. Some are multi-story and have luxuries like cable TV, private bathrooms, and kitchens.
There are canteens and market stalls inside, owned and run by inmates too. Some food giants have a monopoly of trade in the prison, like Coca-Cola, who have a deal with the inmates that only their products are advertised and sold and rival brands are banned. As I said, Coca-Cola is everywhere.
Wives and children are allowed to come and go as they please, with the children attending school just across the plaza. Many of the families could not survive in the city without the income of their husband, so they choose to stay in the prison.
Once upon a time, tourists were able to pay to enter San Pedro prison like a museum but after reports of the rape of some female tourists, tours are now illegal. Although, many people still gain access by bribing the guards. You'll often see locals wandering the plaza outside the prison too, approaching tourists with an offer to take them on a tour. We had no such offer…but I'm not sure we would have accepted anyway.
During the walking tour, we were told about the cholita women. Their fashion, which was once an object of discrimination, is now a source of pride. They don bowler hats, layered skirts, and brightly embroidered shawls. They appear strong and tough with years of hard work etched into their faces. The hats were apparently introduced by the British when, at the turn of the 20th century, a large shipment of hats was ordered from Europe for railway workers, but they were too small. Rather than send them back, the hats were given to the local women. If the hat is tilted to the side it means the woman is single and straight up, she is married.
The skirts are said to hide the sexiest part of the woman, the calves, but they also wear many layers of skirts to make their hips look bigger as this denotes fertility; bigger hips for bearing children.
Our guide took us to a few markets where he introduced us to his casera: a lady that you will always buy your produce from. The markets are social places where people come to lunch and learn the latest gossip from their neighbours. In the centre of the city, there are hardly any supermarkets because mercados are preferred by the locals. It's a tradition they don't want to see lost to big business.
The penultimate stop on the tour was the Plaza de Armas where we were shown the cathedral built in 1835 but not completed until 1988! The Pope was coming to town so they rushed to finish the build but when he arrived, he didn't even step inside for fear that it was unstable.
We ended the tour at a bar where we were given a free shot of some Bolivian drink which I can't remember the name of. It was kind of like mulled wine, orange flavoured, and much stronger. In the privacy of the bar, we were told about the president of Bolivia. According to our guide, Bolivians believe that he's brought some good but equally as much bad to the country. For example, he's ran for three terms, despite only being to only run for two; he changed the law so it was possible for him (he literally re-wrote the constitution) and changed the name from the Republic of Bolivia to the State of Bolivia. He's also known to say a few stupid things in public (sound familiar?) causing uproar and protests from different groups across the country. Bolivian's LOVE to protest.
From La Paz, we headed South on the Gringo trail to Salar de Uyuni, the worlds largest salt flat. We had to take the overnight bus, arriving at 5am to an icy cold Uyuni. We were immediately greeted by people asking if we want to join their tour. Ugh. We already had one booked and what we wanted then was more sleep.
However, one nice guy guided us to the only place open for breakfast at that time in the morning and we warmed ourselves over coffee and scrambled eggs. We had some hours to kill before our tour began so like real hobos we found a park bench to snooze on as the sun came up and further warmed our toes.
Our tour with Andes Salt Expeditions was great! There was a small group of us; a sweet couple from South Korea, a Mum, her son from Peru, and us. It was a long day out on the flats with a lot of time spent driving (the salt flats span 4000 square miles) but cruising across the extremely vast, blindingly white landscape is fascinating and you don't get bored. It's also very disorientating. We wondered how the guides knew where they were going as GPS doesn't work out there and it's not like there are any road signs or even roads for that matter.
Our first stop was a deserted train cemetery. There was once a railroad used to transport minerals between the Andes mountain and the Pacific Ocean but now it's a playground for tourists.
As well as the getting the cliche distorted perspective photos, we made some other stops around the flats. Isla Incahuasi (Fish Island) is a huge mound of cacti and coral which you can spend an hour walking around, finding further elevation for panoramic shots. We opted to walk around the base of the island as at almost 4000 metres high, we felt our energy had dropped and were short of breath! The sun is also really strong so you have to be careful to stay hydrated.
We also stopped at some random villages which just appeared on the horizon, one with a small museum and another where we were shown the tombs of an ancient tribe that had once lived in the hills surrounding the salt flats. It was a tad awkward poking your camera into the tombs but we were encouraged to.
Although the Salt Flats are super touristy and full of gringos being shipped around in Toyota Land-cruisers, we don't regret visiting it for a second. It's a surreal and incredible place and the tour completely met our expectations.

Topic : Cv template pages mac download.

Format : jpg/jpeg.
Lastly, you will need to consider the production of your template. Depending on your industry you need to pick the best invoice to suit your needs. For example, you may use an invoice template that you customize electronically and print from the convenience of your office before submitting to your client. Or perhaps, the invoice will be sent electronically through email. Or you may require a handwritten invoice form that your technician can complete in the field. Most likely, your company will require a combination of these. Using a template can ensure that your companys design and branding elements are consistent.
Both professional and amateur content writers are finding comfort from article writing templates. These templates, which can easily be downloaded online, help provide structure to an otherwise confused article. This innovation is truly a godsend for content writers, and here are some reasons why. With premade templates, you can be sure that the articles you publish are appealing to your audience, because these templates have already been proven effective among readers. If you use any of these templates, your article is guaranteed to attract and engage readers. For example, many people favor how-to articles, because they comprehensively teach readers how to do things on their own. This format also provides step-by-step instructions that are easy to understand and follow.
If the customer doubts the credibility of your invoice, they may not submit a payment by the deadline you requested, which hurts your bottom-line. The task of invoicing can be daunting, but it is simplified by using a template appropriate for your industry. So how do you find the right template for your business and save money at the same time? First, you should identify what your template needs. At a minimum, your invoice should include certain elements, such as your companys name and address, customers contact information, description of services provided, and the agreed cost for the services you provide. More advanced invoices may include your companys logo, terms of payment, and itemization of goods and services provided.

5-FTA Certificates--General GuidelinesFTA-certificate-general-guidelines
- Claiming FTA preference allows qualified U.S. products to be more competitive by exempting them from or by being assessed reduced duties (tariffs). Local taxes still apply.
- FTA certificate/certifications are optional. They are not required for shipments to clear customs. However, goods shipped without one may be assessed standard tariff rate. For shipments below $2,500, exporter should indicate on an invoice that a product is of U.S. origin and qualifies for an FTA (e.g. NAFTA).
- Any party to the export transaction may ask for an FTA certificate. For example, a U.S. producer may be asked for a certificate by an exporter (if exporter is not the producer), by a distributor, an importer or Customs authorities. Certificates should not be provided just because someone asks. You should only provide a certificate if the product meets the FTA requirements. The product must be evaluated and qualified for each FTA according to its specific rules of origin. Many are similar, sometimes identical, but each must be investigated.
- Not all FTA agreements require specific forms. For example, NAFTA shipment, in order to obtain FTA duty exemption requires specific NAFTA form (CBP 434).
- Many newer FTA partners (e.g.Israel, Peru, Panama, Colombia, Korea) can accept declarative statements that contain specific data elements including information stating how the product in question qualifies for an FTA. However, importers may still ask exporters to fill out a specific FTA form. While the form/format is optional, the information is required for the importer to make a claim of preferential treatment (reduced tariff) and/or exemption from customs processing fee (the fee waiver this is especially helpful with large shipment
- Not all FTA certificates/certification require using specific letter codes for Preference Criteria. For example, do not write Preference Criterion B on a Korea FTA form just because this was the letter criterion used for NAFTA shipment.
- FTAs benefits are not transferable. Just because product may qualify for one FTA, it may not necessarily be the case for another one (or a product may qualify under a different rule). Therefore, exporters should not use the same certificate for shipments to different FTA countries.
- Certificates may not be necessary if the standard tariff rate is equal to, or lower, than the FTA rate (there will not be a tariff saving). However, on some occasions, a certificate may be helpful. For example, when a shipment involves a component which in turn may become part of another product and that other product may be sold to another FTA country. Having a certificate for a component will help qualifying that product for preferential rate. Example—U.S. exporter sells a boat engine to Canada. Canadian manufacturer used it to build a pleasure boat and sells it back to US or Mexico. Having NAFTA certificate for an engine would help qualify the boat for NAFTA. Certificate may also be useful for large shipments to obtain customs processing fee waiver.
- Certificates may not be issued for:
i) Products made in the U.S. that do not meet FTA rules of origin requirements (they are non-originating products).
ii) Products made in the U.S. which are trans-shipped via third country (some FTA-specific exceptions may apply but differ from FTA to FTA).
ii) Products shipped directly from the U.S. that are not made/substantially transformed in the U.S. in accordance with FTA-specific rules of origin.
- Certificates may be for a specific shipment or multiple shipments. Certificate issued for multiple shipments will include a date range, i.e., "blanket period" during which certification will be valid. The blanket period can be for a maximum of 365 days.
- After blanket period is over, a certificate needs to be re-issued, even though no changes/modifications were made to the products. Certificates may either include products currently being shipped or include a list of all eligible products that may be shipped during the blanket period.
- Non-FTA eligible goods should not be added to the certificate even if packed/shipped together.
- Certificates should include only FTA- eligible products (final product to be exported). Components/materials/ingredients that are part of the products should not be listed on the certificates.
- FTA certificates/declarations are self-certified by party who is knowledgeable about transaction. They do not need to be notarized/certified/legalized like some generic certificates may.
- FTA certificates and supporting documents should be kept on files for five years in case of a customs audit. They should be treated as legal documents.

Top 10 Cookbook Fails
#10 Unrealistic Photos!
This is the least important problem because you the buyer should know that the cookbook author or publisher wants to put their best results forward. They may make dozens of cookies then take the best six to show in the photo. Plus a professionally published cookbook will have professional photography so the lighting, the backgrounds, everything will be of the highest quality. So how is this a problem? It is only a problem when people trying the recipes think less of their abilities because "it doesn't look like the picture" a very common complaint I hear and read.
#9 Too Few Photos!
While it can be a challenge to not judge your results but a photo, not having a photo at all can lead to more insecurity. Many times I simply won't try a recipe unless it has a photo because I want some model to compare to what I'm doing. Plus a good photo can help with some of the more serious problems of cookbooks.
#8 Too Many Photos!
I know you're thinking -- make up your mind about photo, Chocolate Priestess! With print books, photos add costs; this is the main reason what #9 likely happens. We are becoming accustomed to tons of photos from finding recipes online or in ebooks but adding photos to these formats does little to increase cost. Some cookbooks want to really attend to the needs of the novice cook so they they use a lot of photos to show the steps. Instead they could have a how-to section which shows the steps commonly used once.
#7 Poor Editing!
As with any book, the author will be judged by the contents even if the publisher should have spent the time proofing before the final print. Poor editing of cookbooks tends to result in misnumbered pages, mislabeled chapters, missing pages, and mislabeled ingredients. You don't want to see a "T" next to salt if it really should be "tsp" -- YUCK! Sadly the author will be the one targeted, not the publisher, because most readers do not understand who is in charge of what what it comes to putting out cookbooks (or any books). By the way, target the author if they self-published because then it does all fall back on them.
#6 Unnecessary Sections!
As with photos, the number of pages adds to the cost of a cookbook. Some cookbooks are part biography or therapy and then include pitchy comments or tiny tales to try and engage the reader. There is nothing wrong with that if the buyer knows what is included in the book. However, seeing a small 1-2 paragraph narrative taking up an entire page over and over in a book starts to feel like these personalizations were added merely to pad out the cookbook. The best cookbooks attached these tiny tidbits to the recipe pages themselves so you can read if you want but not feel like they are just adding pages.
#5 Traditional Bindings!
I realize that spiral bindings may look "poor" but in terms of cookbooks I love them. Why? Because no matter the size of my space, I can lay that book down flat and not have to have a bookstand or heavy objects to hold it open. There are few things more frustrating that trying out a new recipe and then having the pages move or the book close while your hands are covered in whatever ingredient you last used! Breaking the spines of books to force them to lay flat only lower the lifespan of that book, making it likely that pages will fall out.
#4 Gourmet Kitchen Expectation!
I applaud the cookbooks that tell you upfront what equipment and ingredients you'll need in a starting chapter; I wish they did this in the book descriptions before I buy or agree to review a cookbook. My kitchen has limited space and therefore I have limited gadgets, pans, and ingredients that I can store. Toss into that the fact that not everyone has a lot of money to spend on ingredients or even access to some ingredients. What you the author might think of as "common" may be exotic to another person. The best cookbooks offer substitutes for ingredients and processing. The newbie trying out your recipe may not realize that things can be done a different way and they will simply return or toss out a cookbook whose recipes are beyond their kitchens.
#3 Mixing Up Measurements!
While this can be an issue of poor editing is this not missing or mislabeling but using multiple measurement systems. I've seend Imperial and US Customary Units used alongside Metric Units within the same recipe! If you aren't familiar with one, this will only add to your confusion. Likewise, you can measure by weight or by volume but they are not the same. A cup of cocoa may not be the same amount as 10 ounces of cocoa and that difference definitely changes your recipe.
#2 Missing Steps!
For the experienced cook or baker, a missing step in the directions might not be obvious -- of course, I need to stir occasionally or preheat the oven, we might realize. However cookbooks need to be written for folks with little or no experience, too. Plus not all dishes need a preheated oven and some need to be stirred all the time or not at all. A missing step can lead to a ruined dish.
#1 Missing Ingredients!
I've discovered recipes for baked goods that didn't list all of the ingredients I know that they need. I'm not talking about an optional spice but something like eggs, or a flour, or any type of moisture. Unless the recipe is labeled as "X-free" there are just certain things baked goods need. But if you are not experience you may not realize that and then you end up wasting time, money, and food.
Do you agree? Did I miss some cookbook problems? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

That pretty much sums up my list!
I read cookbooks like novels, though, so I am more forgiving about the random blocks of personal text. But I completely understand that I am a weirdo that way, and that most people are probably wondering why there is so much fluff/filler.

My grandmother was famous for leaving out an ingredient. We did a family cookbook and she left out the bananas for her banana bread recipe. When we asked her she said "It's banana bread. Of course it has bananas in it." like we were a bunch of ding dongs.

I'm glad you can see where my concerns are about that point. How many cookbooks do you think you read, Karen?
- May 25, 2016 at 2:30 PM
- TammyJo Eckhart said...
I can understand doing that, kimsnarks, for a family recipe. But we live in a world where not listing "dairy" as an ingredient for "milk chocolate" can get a recall. Not everyone is as logical plus how many bananas, Grannie?

I am a food historian, so I read a LOT of cookbooks. I think the editing and amount of detail is getting better, slowly, with time. I actually like it when recipes list special equipment needed IN the recipe, as well as at the beginning of the book. Not everyone has a chinois or a madeleine pan handy!

I hear you, Emilie. It is good to know that cookbooks have improved over the years. So many recipes I've wanted to try but simply haven't because I don't have the equipment and I have neither the money or the space to add it my kitchen.

Contents & Summary
When a Woman Meets Jesus is a collection of love stories that transcend all time, space, and genre. Its hero - a Man who chose to accept, encourage, and empower every woman He met. Its heroines - eighteen women who loved the one Man who could fulfill their every need, among them:
- Mary, The Flawed Woman trying to raise the perfect child in an imperfect world
- Anna, The Empty Woman who longed for the children she was physically unable to have
- Joanna, The Unfulfilled Woman whose "Mr. Right" and all his money could not buy her health or happiness
- Martha, The Stressed Woman whose attention to busywork only distracted her from life's most meaningful moments
Do these women sound familiar? You may recognize their names from the New Testament, but there is no doubt you recognize their needs — needs representative of the universal longing for love all women share.
Fortunately, the one Man who fulfilled the needs of women in biblical times is the same Man who can fulfill our needs today.
In When a Woman Meets Jesus, each biblical love story includes a reflection of today — contemporary love stories that mirror the needs of women throughout history, and discussion questions for reflecting on your own relationship with the only Man who can fulfill your every need.

Occasionally I veer away from my usual genres of classical history, fantasy and sci-fi and buy something completely different. One of my favourite science books is Bang!.
The three authors take the reader through the universe's life, from its earliest beginning at the Big Bang to the present day, ending with the various theories regarding the death of the universe.
I'm not well-versed at all in this sort of thing, and was pleased to find that, with one or two minor exceptions, the contents were pretty easy to understand. It's a good book for someone who isn't an expert but might be interested in the universe and how it came about.
The book is hefty in size and festooned with excellent photographs and diagrams that either illustrate scientific principles or simply show how staggeringly beautiful the universe is.
The most interesting part of Bang!, for me, was the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang, which was something I had no idea about and enjoyed reading. The mind-boggling strangeness of the concepts involved (such as time not existing before the Big Bang and the huge loss of mass our sun undergoes every second) are a little bizarre, as is the strange truth that we can literally see the past when we look to the skies.
Over the course of the book the focus shifts from the Big Bang through the mass of the universe to our particular planet. It's a little odd to read about history in this way, but the three authors do an excellent job of combining high science with simple and understandable writing.
The copy I've got is a hardback, second edition, as the writers updated it to take account of fresh discoveries.
It's not my usual sort of fare, but Bang!: The Complete History of the Universe is an easy-to-read and enjoyable foray into the mysteries of the universe strewn with excellent photography. And one of the writers played guitar for Queen. What more could you ask for?

What Yoga is and what Yoga is not.
Yoga isn't a religion. Yoga isn't attached to any religion. Yoga isn't a religious ritual or procedure in any religion.
Those fearful of the impact that Yoga has had in the west have closed venues where Yoga is taught or practised fearful that it is based in some form of religion and threatens their religious beliefs. They are mistaken.
Yoga is a Discipline. Yoga stands alone as a discipline. No religion can claim Yoga for itself.
Yoga is for the individual. Yoga does not require membership of a group.
Yoga is a yoke. The word Yoga means a Yoke. Yoga yokes the body with the mind to create a balanced, stable individual.
There are two elements in Yoga.
1, The first aspect is Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga consists of the postures we are familiar with seeing, that practitioners of Hatha Yoga practice. Ballet dancers, athletes, and individual people learn the postures such as the Headstand , the seated position known as the Lotus, and Alternate Nostril Breathing and many other postures that trains the body without the necessity for weights, or any equipment in a gym. It simply requires a mat on the floor.
2. The second aspect of Yoga is termed Rajah Yoga. Raja means King. Rajah Yoga is a form of meditation that does not focus on any religious icon, symbol, or word. Rajah Yoga therefore does not impose any restrictions on anyone who has a religious faith.
In Rajah Yoga one is given a mantra which is a meaningless string of letters that does not revive or stir any image. Repetition of this meaningless string of letters stills the mind, calms the mind, and brings relaxation to the mind.
The combination of Hatha Yoga with Rajah Yoga is the yoke that gives the word Yoga its meaning. In Yoga the mind and the body are yoked together.

Stories can Change behavior…You Can Change Lives.
In one form or another what do each of us seek in our daily business lives?
Answer: Motivate others to reach Goals, buy our product, heed our advice, take a new direction, create energy. Each of them is best accomplished by uniting an idea with an emotion. Telling a story is that connector.
Persuasion is the business activity that is central to every level of success. Customers so they buy your product. Employees so they support your changes. Investors for clarity on why they should invest with you. Partners to agree to the next deal and sign up with you. Most executives struggle to communicate their intent, much less inspire someone to go along with them. They rely on bullet points crammed with facts and logic, PowerPoints (they read each word!), memos, corporate-speak and the continuum of other ineffective efforts. The audience is confused, at best, over the message.
Become an effective leader by harnessing stories to make your point. Toss the death-by-PowerPoint and "that's-the-way-we-do-it" approach to persuasion. Move people through their emotions. That's how they are motivated/persuaded to achieve goals, take actions. The story has a long history of being a successful communication tool.
Storytelling helps you win an important audience. It is a powerful tool. Through storytelling we make abstract concepts real. By creating that vision we drive culture and instill values. Paint a vivid picture of the future. That's what makes you memorable. Your life and career are a rich source of stories. Use them to drive your company's purpose, goals, vision, and values. And your Success!
Learn to resonate with your audience, surprise them, connect with them, tap into emotions. Either make them mad or make them sad or make them happy, but don't just leave them sitting there!
We need only look around us, listen and read to find stories we can adapt to our message. Read your resume, the stories are there. Write the story and make it connect to an emotion. The story should be no longer than 2 minutes.
Practice bringing your message to life with a story and watch your results soar.

Been thinking of – and talking about – creating a new sauce for a while now so finally got round to it yesterday.
Just a question of working out whether it should be mild, medium, hot or extra hot. What base for the sauce? What kind of chillies to use? What additional ingredients would work well? What type of vinegar? Ensure I can source all ingredients year round. Steer clear of artificial ingredients, no additives and make sure it's gluten free.
Horseradish? Blueberries? Pasilla Chillies? Ancho Grande? Habaneros? Nagas? Parsnips? Pears? Apricots? Peaches? The list is endless.
I've now got 7 different versions sat in jars but – and I'm a harsh critic – none are up to standard.
I know one thing though: my mouth is on fire and I'm not looking forward to a few hours time…
Any ideas anyone?

Private companies are already sending cargo into space on their own, but no one is sending any people yet--for now, Americans can only get to space with help from the Russians. When commercial aerospace firms do start delivering Americans to space for the first time, they will not be wearing NASA meatball patches on their breast pockets.
Instead, commercial test pilots employed by spaceship builders will fly the first crewed missions, according to NASA officials. The space agency is letting the private firms bear that risk before exposing its own astronauts to a privately built ship.
Boeing has already announced it would send its own employees to space--just like the Mercury 7 astronauts were involved in their spaceships' development, Boeing wants input from people who will eventually fly its CST-100. SpaceX and Sierra Nevada Corp. are also building ships to ferry humans, and they, too, will send their own employees up first, according to NASA. The CST-100, SpaceX Dragon and shuttle-looking Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser are designed to carry a crew of up to seven astronauts.
The companies are already using NASA funds and NASA facilities to build the new ships, but NASA wants them to use their own employees first before the space agency will feel like their ships are safe. At a news briefing last week, Ed Mango, NASA's Commercial Crew Program manager, said the space agency wanted to treat the new equipment like the military does--the company assumes the initial risk before handing over the keys, according to Universe Today. But this doesn't mean there would be any safety shortcuts: "All of us have the same initiative, and it doesn't matter who's sitting on top of the vehicle. It's a person, and that person needs to fly safely and get back home to their families," he said.
More than 50 years after they were unveiled to the world, the members of the Mercury 7 are still the stuff of legend. The military pilots who became our country's first astronauts were unrivaled in their bravery, skill, and probably ego, launching the U.S. into the space age. Will their corporate successors inspire us the same way?

The gullibility of the scientifically challenged media and buying public never ceases to amaze. Spurred perhaps by sharply higher gasoline prices, backyard inventors and shady promoters are pushing the latest wonder technology, "HHO gas," otherwise known as water gas, Brown's gas or Klein's gas.
For a tidy investment of a few hundred dollars, one can adapt a car to run on HHO, or for a few thousand, one can buy a device to produce HHO at home for transportation or for welding. Cars apparently can run for miles on mere puffs of HHO, and torches can burn holes in seconds through most metals.
I would encourage anyone buying such devices to first watch videos of the Graf Hindenburg accident in 1937 or the Shuttle Challenger accident in 1986, to get an idea of the Promethean power of HHO gas.
Wait, 1937? Isn't HHO supposed to be a new technology? you ask. Nope. In fact, the principles behind the production of HHO have been known and used for close to 200 years. If you were lucky, you might have even made some in middle school science class.
If you run electric current through water, you break water down into its constituent parts, hydrogen and oxygen, both gases at standard temperature (20 C) and pressure (1 atmosphere). Very little current is required; a 6-volt lantern battery does the trick nicely, although quite slowly.
The science class experiment generally involves upending two test tubes over the positive and negative electrodes submerged in the water. Hydrogen collects over one electrode, and oxygen over the other one. (Hydrogen ions are positively charged; oxygen ions negatively.) Since there are twice as many H atoms in water as O atoms, the volume of the hydrogen (H2) gas is twice that of the oxygen (O2) gas.
Frequently the experiment also involves pulling the H2 test tube out of the water and placing a burning wooden splint near its mouth to ignite the H2, producing a characteristic whooping sound and some water vapor that condenses on the glass tube.
Placing a glowing wooden splint into the O2 tube will result in the splint bursting into flame, as the oxygen-rich environment accelerates the combustion process.
As well as being less dense than air, hydrogen is a highly flammable gas. H2 mixed in air is a "weaker" form of HHO gas, since air is a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. A spark or a flame will immediately ignite any H2 around by providing just enough energy for the H2 and O2 present to recombine into water.
Test tube amounts of H2 produce whooping noises. An airship the size of the Hindenburg (at right) can produce a much more dramatic effect, as it did on the fateful day in 1937 when the airship burst into flame as it came in for a landing.
Mixing pure H2 and pure O2 increases both the temperature and the speed of the reaction, which is the key to HHO's success as a welding gas, automobile fuel, and rocket propellant.
The space shuttles use "HHO" in their main engines. At launch, each shuttle is attached to a huge external fuel tank containing cryogenic vessels filled with liquid H2 and liquid O2. Igniting the H2/O2 mix produces a lot of thrust for the money, and the byproduct is just water.
The downside is the explosive danger of a pure H2/O2 mix, as the Challenger accident so tragically demonstrated. Flames from a leaky solid-rocket booster on that day burned a hole through the external fuel tank, which then exploded just minutes after launch (at left), killing the seven astronauts on board.
So, I would I think twice about running around town with a tank of HHO in the trunk of my car, or producing HHO in my basement for storage. Gasoline is safe and stable in comparison.
HHO gas is not the cure-all that its promoters say it is. Sure, it is a clean-burning fuel. It can be an effective welding gas. And cars can in fact burn HHO either mixed with gasoline vapor or by itself. But HHO gas will not end our dependence on foreign oil or substantially reduce pollution, no matter what anyone says.
You need electricity to produce HHO. To produce large quantities of HHO is a reasonable time, say a few hours, you need a lot of current, which does not come cheap. Your power company supplies current to your home and office by burning, for most communities, fossil fuels like coal or oil. If you're drawing a lot current to fill your bomb-like container of HHO gas, the power company has to burn more oil or coal to supply the electricity. You can't get something from nothing.
Now, if the power company used hydroelectric generators or a nuclear power plant to provide the current, you might be able to justify pulling all those amperes to electrolyze your water into HHO. You are still gong to have to pay the light bill, though, so the economics of producing HHO at home might not be any better than just filling up at the local gas station for $3 a gallon.
In short, dear reader, caveat emptor. HHO gas is a scam. It is not a miracle technology or a cure for our gasoline dependence. At best, it is a deception, a way for clever promoters to make money, and endanger the unwary consumer.

release is provided as an online download or on CD.
Please note that product documentation is provided in electronic format only.
You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4.0 or higher to view the documentation.
It is provided on the Foresight Imaging Software & Documentation CD (p/n 042700-250) or can be downloaded at:
********* About the IDEA 2.5 Update Release ********
* This release is necessary to support the AccuStream 170+ frame grabber. The AccuStream170+ is a functionally equivalent replacement for the Accustream 170. In order to use the AccuStream 170+ with the IDEA 2.5 software, you must install this update software.
********* Installing the IDEA 2.5 Update Release ********
* There are two parts to this install:
1. User-level software which includes the library (hdpw32.dll).
1. The hardware device driver (fsi.sys).
* Installing the user-level software:
· From the CD, change to the Setup folder and run the setup.exe application.
you have a normal installation of
IDEA 2.5, the setup will automatically replace the HDPW32.DLL. A normal
is defined as one in which the above software was placed in the default folders. For IDEA 2.5, the default folders were:
· \Program Files\Foresight\Idea\System – for HDPW32.DLL.
· If the above software is not found in the expected folders, you will be prompted as to which folder to place each component. You must specify a folder for HDPW32.DLL, as no application software can function without it.
· In either case, if a previous version of the software exists, it will be saved with a _BAK appended to the base name, i.e. the original IDEA 2.5 HDPW32.DLL will become HDPW32_BAK.DLL
· Note: Because of these updates, the un-install of IDEA 2.5 will not automatically delete either the _BAK files or the replacement files. Should you need to uninstall IDEA 2.5 you will have to manually delete these files.
· In addition to the above mentioned software, a new firmware file Accustream170X.JBC will be placed in the folder with the firmware files for the other frame grabbers.
* Installing the hardware device driver.
· Power off the computer and install the AccuStream 170+ frame grabber. After rebooting, you should get the Plug and Play manager notification about the new hardware. Direct it to the Drivers\Win32 folder on the CD and use the fsi.inf file.
********* Important Notes About the IDEA 2.5 Update Release ********
The AccuStream 170+ is functionally equivalent to the AccuStream 170. All software APIs will function exactly as
with the original board. However,
because there are changes in hardware you may notice some differences in the
resulting images. If the AccuStream 170+
is being used as a replacement in an existing installation, you may need to
tune such parameters as brightness, contrast or the framing of the image. These adjustments can be made by opening the

The ex-chief of YG Entertainment, the label that represents the K-pop band iKON, will soon be summoned after the band's former leader admitted to some of the drug allegations against him, police said Wednesday.
The Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency said B.I, whose real name is Kim Han-bin, admitted to past drug use during an interrogation Tuesday.
|Former leader of K-pop band iKON B.I, real name Kim Han-bin, leaves the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency after interrogation on Wednesday (Yonhap)
Kim was grilled for some 14 hours on suspicion of buying marijuana from an acquaintance in 2016 and smoking it.
The investigators will continue to look into the details of Kim's alleged crimes, as some of his statements were not corroborated by the acquaintance. The police plan to refer the case to the prosecution.
Police will also summon Yang Hyun-suk, the former head of YG Entertainment, in Kim's case. Yang is suspected of attempting to cover up drug use by Kim in 2016 by pressuring the acquaintance to recant statements she had made to the police.
The acquaintance, widely known as a female singer, was briefly detained and questioned by police in August 2016 and is said to have admitted to an online exchange of messages with Kim about a drug purchase. She later recanted, and Kim was not prosecuted due to lack of evidence.
In June this year, however, the acquaintance filed a complaint with the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, saying Yang had threatened her a day after the interrogation and had pressured her into recanting.
Yang is currently the subject of a separate police probe, which deals with overseas gambling and soliciting sex for foreign investors.

We have a problem with the System.Interactive component. The Instant app works as expected when the user opens the link provided in the conversation. The problem occurs when the user wants to ignore the interaction with the instant app by entering free text to the conversation (without opening the link). It seems that the conversation is blocked and the bot is waiting for a response from the Instant app to continue. Even if we add textReceived as an action, the bot is not responding to the user's input, if the user doesn't press the link.
You can see below the component used in the dialog flow.
Mobile Cloud Enterprise Version: 18.2.3_1805290609
I tried your code in my instance 18.4.3 version and seemed to be working fine.
can you please share the complete code snippet for state containing System.Interactive component. I donot see textReceived action in this state,it should have something like this..
textReceived: "intent"
cancel: "SelectdateMaual"
next: "setVariableappDate"
Thank you for your quick reply. We have updated the code above with some simple components.
We tested it again with these simple components. We have also tested at the textReceived action to have "detect" (flow detect -> translate -> intent).
However the problem remained the same in all cases.
I tried your code in my instance 18.4.3 version and seemed to be working fine.
So it is probably related to our version.
Thank you for your feedback.

Starling numbers decline by almost 80%
by Rose Crompton
credit: RSPB/Ray Kennedy
Starlings are iconic city birds but their numbers have dropped by almost 80% in the past three decades, results from the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch have shown.
Nearly 600,000 people took part in this year's event and over nine million birds were counted, but when the results came in, they revealed that starling numbers have reached their lowest point in the survey's history.
The average number of starlings seen per garden this year was three, compared to 15 per garden when the survey began in 1979. In the West Midlands and Edinburgh the count was as low as two birds on average per garden. There are also fewer starlings taking part in murmurations, the birds' famous acrobatic displays, according to the RSPB.
Although starlings are still the second most common UK bird, their numbers are falling across northern Europe and the species is 'red-listed', meaning it's of high conservation concern.
"We've been monitoring this decline and encouraging people to step up and help birds like starlings but we will also be conducting some scientific research into the exact reasons for these declines," says RSPB scientist, Mark Eaton.
He added: "It would be a tragedy if the numbers continue to plummet and we will do all we can to help stop this happening."
There were also fewer blackbirds in gardens compared to last year although this is thought to have been due to the mild weather which encouraged birds to stay in the countryside rather than visit gardens.
It was not all bad news in the cities though, as the survey revealed increases in goldfinches. In London, their numbers have increased by almost 53 percent over the past five years.
"Something is continuing to drive down the number of common garden birds in the capital. For some reason the tiny goldfinch is bucking the trend," says Tim Webb, a spokesperson for RSPB London. "It could be that they are being driven into urban areas from their rural strongholds by a need to find seeds and bugs to eat."
Urban gardeners can help to reverse the decline in numbers of some of our most familiar city birds, according to the RSPB.
"Far too much green space has been lost to hard standing which removes things like insects from the food chain and depletes wildlife generally," explains Webb. To encourage starlings and other species back to urban gardens try to limit the use of decking and other types of hard landscaping and pack in the greenery. "We need more window ledges full of plants, more street trees and lush back gardens," argues Webb.

Lexington, Ky. – After coming up one run short in game one of the weekend series, the Transylvania baseball team came storming back in game two to defeat the John Carroll University Blue Streaks 9-6 at Marquard Field on Saturday afternoon.
Game One
The John Carroll University Blue Streaks entered Saturday's action with a steady peppering of runs over the first five innings to take a 3-1 lead after the first four and a half innings of play.
Each team notched a run in the second inning; the Blue Streaks utilized a bases-loaded RBI single after a pitching error loaded the bases earlier in the inning. Transylvania answered in the bottom of the second inning as junior catcher Blake Hart led off the inning with a solo home run.
The Blue Streaks retook the lead in the third inning with an RBI double, and added another singular run in the fifth inning on a solo home run.
The string of home runs continued as junior shortstop Jared Williams clouted a solo home run into center field to lead off the fifth inning for Transylvania, leading to a 3-2 deficit for the Pioneers. Transylvania worked its way back to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth inning at 3-3; freshman infielder Riley Willbur led off with a single, and a groundout and flyout worked Willbur around the bases. Williams came through with an RBI bunt to bring home Willbur as the Pioneers manufactured their third run of the afternoon.
The Blue Streaks answered back with the most pivotal inning of game one, as they scored three runs in the top of the seventh, including what would prove to be the game-winning run. The Blue Streaks used two hits and a Transylvania error to produce three runs, including a two-out RBI single from center field.
Transylvania continued to nip away at the John Carroll lead, scoring two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Freshman infielder David McAnelly keyed the rally with a leadoff triple, while Williams and freshman outfielder Nick Nelson each delivered base hits. McAnelly and Williams would both go on to score for the Pioneers, but a groundout ended hopes of a tying run as two Pioneers were stranded.
Senior pitcher Tom Banahan started the game and worked through six innings, but received a no-decision after registering seven strikeouts and five walks. Adam Boone claimed four strikeouts against zero walks over the final 2.2 innings.
Hart led the Pioneers offensively with a 4-for-4 day at bat along with a walk to go with his home run. Williams matched Hart in hit total with a 4-for-5 showing, two RBIs, two stolen bases, and a home run.
Game Two
The second game of the day got off to a quick start, as John Carroll jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first inning. However, Transylvania responded in the bottom half of the second inning when freshman designated hitter Dakota Cassady led off with a single and later scored on a throwing error.
Transylvania took its first lead of the game in the bottom of the third when the Pioneer trio of McAnelly, Wilbur, and junior first baseman Taylor Henley each recorded a hit, resulting in three runs for the home team.
After trading runs with the Blue Streaks in the fourth inning, Transylvania pushed the game out of reach with a dominant fifth inning. Henley and Wilbur started off the inning with a pair of doubles. Then an RBI single from sophomore outfielder Isaac Taylor and a two-run home run from Williams pushed the Transylvania lead to 9-4 going into the sixth inning.
John Carroll would add on three more runs before senior relief pitcher Adam Boone came into the game in the eighth inning and pitched two scoreless frames, while only giving up one hit en route to his third save of the season.
Offensively the Pioneers were led by Williams, who went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs, and junior first baseman Taylor Henley who went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple, and one RBI in the Pioneers victory.
Braden Johnson earned the win in what was the latest in a slew of strong outings for the senior pitcher from Crestwood, Kentucky. Johnson gave up six runs in six and one-third innings of work, while striking out four batters.
Senior relief pitcher Adam Boone came into the game in the eighth inning and pitched two scoreless frames while only giving up one hit en route to his third save of the season.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Pioneers will take the field against the Blue Streaks in a pivotal game three of their weekend series. First pitch is set for 12:00 p.m. at Marquard Field.

About Pocketwatch Films
I began Pocketwatch Films in June of 2004, after a showing of my two short films - Missed Opportunities and A Day in the Life of the Lost Boy.
The sound and look of a pocketwatch always appealed to me. And the fact that many pocketwatches are personalized with inscriptions inside. I want to make films that mean something to me on a very personal level.
It's my mission to make films about gay men and women, and explore the realities of what happens beyond "coming out." I want to deal more candidly with sex and drug addiction, and how we deal with growing older. And I want to make films with heart, humor and honesty – that are also incredibly sexy.

This week, it is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Robbi Joy Eklow. Chances are strong that you've already heard her name. She is a quilter, an artist, an educator and an author. Her art quilts are nothing short of stunning, created with hand-dyed cotton, bonded appliqué, and lots of free motion quilting. Her Steampunk Sublime tutorial has been one of our favorites on Pellon Projects™ and, months after publishing, remains one of our most popular. The quilt is entirely fused together with Wonder-Under® paper-backed fusible web. No needle or thread is used until the actual quilting begins. It's a technique Robbi uses often, is the subject of many of her workshops and may be why she has been dubbed the 'Goddess of the Last Minute' though her quilts are anything but!
We such fun chatting with Robbi and hope you find some inspiration in her work!
Pellon Projects: How did you first get started with sewing?
Robbi Joy Eklow: My grandmother taught me to hand sew with fabric from her ragbox and then showed me how to use her old sewing machine. I was in kindergarten and we lived with my grandparents.
PP: Was there an inspiring influence in your life that pushed you in a particular creative direction?
RJE: I was the only child, my parents had been divorced, and my grandmother was a constant knitter and she did crewel. She had some hanging in the dining room. She would help me make beaded necklaces, and make paper flowers. She and my mother were very tolerant of my fiber adventures and I remember using my grandmother's footstool as a base for macrame projects. I'd be tying knots on her footstool while she'd be resting her feet on it and knitting. My grandmother was my favorite person in the world — and she offered the only stability in my life until I married my husband — so I think one reason I gravitate towards fiber is because it connects me to my memories of her.
PP: Describe your process a bit… How do you come up with new designs and how to you move through the steps from idea conception to project completion?
RJE: Right now I'm fixated on patterns using radial symmetry. I have a vocabulary of "objects" that I've been arranging, maybe I'm looking for the perfect arrangement. I'm not sure. At any rate, I start a design on my computer, using Adobe Illustrator, to create a line drawing. I don't worry about color at this point. All of my quilts are fused, so the next step is to create the "templates" on Wonder-Under. I either trace them manually, or print them directly onto sheets of Wonder-Under that I've cut to fit in my inkjet printer. The next step is to fuse the Wonder-Under to the fabric — I use my own hand dyed fabric. Then I fuse all the parts together, and then the last step is to quilt the quilt.
PP: Do you find yourself seeking out other sewers both in your area and in the online arena for inspiration and support
RJE: I do enjoy being around other quilters, I joined the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild last year and I'm very excited about it. I haven't made any "Modern" quilts but I enjoy being around people who are excited about quilting. I also have local friends who quilt and I belong to a small group of art quilters. AND I am on Facebook about an hour every day. At least.
PP: What are your tools of choice? (sewing machine, needles, threads, etc…)
RJE: I do my quilting on an APQS Millennium Longarm most of the time. I also have a Bernina for regular stitching. I use a lot of different threads, at this point, I can't really point to just one company.
PP: Do you have a favorite Pellon® product?
RJE: Of course I do! My quilts would not exist without Wonder-Under®. The slight stiffness it adds makes it easier to control the quilt when I'm free motion quilting. Some of the other fusibles are just too stiff for my taste, especially when I'm using multiple layers.
PP: You are not just an artist, but also a teacher and an author. Do you find yourself gravitating toward one area over another, or do all three pieces really work together?
RJE: Since I don't really make my quilts to sell, the teaching part allows me to continue making the quilts instead of devoting myself to another full time job. I enjoy being able to write too. The writing and the teaching take time from the quilting, but I need all three.
PP: What do you love about teaching and do you have any favorite topics?
RJE: I really enjoy teaching. It's fun to go to different parts of the country, or the world, and meet quilters from all over. Quilters are wonderful people and being able to spend time with them is a wonderful privilege. I'm very lucky that I get to do that. I like to teach classes featuring my fused quilts. It's like going to a coloring book class for adults.
PP: A number of your classes focus on the techniques and designs presented in your book, Free Expression: The Art and Confessions of a Contemporary Quilter. Can you give a sneak peek of what the book is about? What inspired you to write it?
RJE: The book is about how I design and quilt my fused quilts. I wrote it after making a lot of them!
PP: Your latest book is called Goddess of the Last Minute, a title you've also assumed on your website. Can you tell us a bit more about that and how the moniker came to be?
RJE: That's a long story. I started using that as my moniker when I started my column in Quilting Arts a decade ago. It relates to how I am able to get things done on short notice. Not that I procrastinate.
PP: You're headed to the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza in September to teach a few classes. What is your favorite thing about attending and teaching at a Quilt Festival? Do you have a favorite festival?
RJE: I enjoy it the most when someone comes to me and tells me they enjoyed the day in my class very much. All of the quilt shows are so different, I can't really say which is my favorite.
PP: Your designs have been included in a number of special exhibitions country-wide. What do you like most about displaying your art in this manner? How do you prepare for such a display?
RJE: I think it's interesting to see a bunch of my quilts hung up at the same time. For preparation, I start with my newest quilts, hold out the ones that I need either to teach or to enter in a competition and then go from there, picking however many quilts are wanted for the display. It's pretty straightforward.
PP: Your tutorial for the Steampunk Sublime Quilt is one of the most popular on our site. I'm sure our readers would love to know what inspired that design. Could you tell us a little about it?
RJE: I've been working in this circular symmetrical style for a while. I'm fascinated with it. I don't really know why, but I have been drawing designs like this even when I was in high school and scribbling to stay awake during boring classes. I like mechanical designs like the gears, they rotate and I imagine them working together. I love riding my bicycle, leisurely, I'm not a racer or anything, and I like the way bicycles look, so maybe there is something in that. When I was in first grade, my grandmother got this watch that had a clear back and I could see all the gears inside, that might have started it.
PP: Is there any advice that you could offer for young sewers and quilters, just getting started in their craft?
RJE: Just make things. Don't let anyone tell you the way things HAVE TO BE. Quilts don't have to be a certain way, you should just enjoy making them. And check to see if there is a Modern Quilt Guild in your area. Even if you AREN'T young, there is room for everyone, so you'll find people to make friends with and people to get good advice from. And it's really fun. If you are an art quilter, look to art quilt groups too.
PP: Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today! We're honored to have you as a guest!
RJE: Thanks for having me!
We'd like to thank Robbi for taking the time to chat with us! Oh, the power of Wonder-Under®!! For information about Robbi, head to her artist page on pellonprojects.com or check out her website or her blog.

Key Words:
A fundamental component of science curricula is the understanding of scientific inquiry. Although recent trends favor using student inquiry to learn concepts through hands-on activities, it is often unclear to students where the line is drawn between the content and the process of science. This activity explicitly introduces students to the processes of science and allows the classroom to become a scientific community where independent studies are performed, shared, and revised. We designed this activity to be relatively independent of the chosen content, allowing instructors to utilize the presented framework for classes of various disciplines and education levels.
