Tunbridge Wells' Lady Bird have released a new single called 'LOVE'. The single is released via Slaves' Girl Fight Records and keeps up the momentum for the band ahead of a UK tour later this month. Lady Bird are a thoughtful bunch, everything they do has a purpose, so whilst the track moves at a million miles an hour,be sure to take in the message. Frontman, Sam Cox tells us a bit more about the track.
" 'LOVE' is set in the ranks of a dysfunctional relationship, where we use this opportunity to nod at the wider narrative of love, which taps into our innate humanity and is manifest through a variety of ways and forms. In this sense it's not restricted to that of romance, and self-love for instance is a good example which takes its part in the tune."

Because the SEiGHT uses a small radiator with a high power engine, cooling problems are not unheard of. However if everything is set up properly then the standard cooling arrangements should be fine for all but the most powerful cars.
Early cars use the 4 row copper cored radiator. This rad has 14 fins per inch, the core measures 14" by 16" and it is 2 3/4" thick. This radiator leans back at an angle inside the nosecone. Later cars use the 'ducted nosecone' arrangement. The ducted nosecone houses a 5 row aluminium radiator which is substantially smaller with a core about 11" by 14". The radiator sits vertically. Air is ducted through the radiator and out of the nosecone just in front of the bonnet. The exit is shaped to help pull air out. All of the air entering the nosecone is forced through the rad and no hot air enters the engine bay.
Although Autocar had cooling problems with a 270HP car using the ducted nosecone a friend of mine had a 260HP car that was regularly used for track days and he had no problems. If your engine produces significantly more than 300HP you may need to have a bigger, thicker radiator made up. John Eales does this for customers with very powerful engines.
A word of warning before starting a series of modifications and expenditure - check the accuracy of your temperature gauge. The VDO instruments supplied by Westfield are not particularly accurate. Check the gauge by undoing the sender, running a wire to earth from the sender body, and immersing the sender in boiling water (an electric kettle is good for this). In my experience a good mechanical gauge, such as those supplied by Racetech, is better.
Here are a few modifications which you can make to improve the cooling if you have the 4 core non-ducted radiator:
Here are some tips that benefit the old style radiator and the ducted nosecone system:
A great web site for technical information on cooling is Stewart Components.

"This was shot for UK music magazine Melody Maker by Andrew Catlin in a nice area of London and not where I lived then... that's for sure! The look was typical of my attempt to do a sort of biker vibe... the long sleeve "matelot" t-shirt from Johnsons on King's Road (where I used to work), the Harley Davidson belt, tapered Levis and my Doc Marten shoes which I loved. Looking back it has more of a "fashion" shoot feel that a rock n roll one even if it was for the Melody Maker. I can't believe how skinny I look... I guess it's from the era between 'Dreamtime' and 'Love'."

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Brussels on Sunday to march against vaccines and coronavirus restrictions as Europe remains gripped by a resurgence of COVID-19 infections and national authorities fear demonstrators are becoming more radical.
Police said some 8,000 took part, a sharp decline from the 35,000 estimated at in a similar protest two weeks ago.
Groups of protesters clashed with police as the cortege reached its destination in the Cinquantenaire Park, near the neighborhood housing European Union institutions. Police officers used water cannons against projectile-throwing protesters.
"A group sought confrontation with a police roadblock … tear gas and water cannons were used," police spokesperson Ilse Van de Keere said. Officers called on the crowds to disperse at that point, she added.

Police also announced on Twitter that they would start arresting "troublemakers."
Belgium's government last Friday tightened sanitary measures against the pandemic, in a bid to contain the surge in cases overwhelming the country's hospitals once again and landing Belgium among the worst-hit countries in the EU. The latest measures include making mask-wearing mandatory for children over the age of 6, and closing kindergartens and primary schools from December 20.
Several protesters, including some accompanied by children, carried placards with slogans such as "our children will not be your guinea pigs."
Violence also flared at the November 21 protest, which had likewise followed the announcement of stricter measures. After that event, Belgium's counter-terrorism agency (OCAD) reportedly warned of radicalization as different movements joined forces for the first time to oppose the government's anti-pandemic measures in a "heated up and polarized" climate.
"Hate speech towards policymakers, the media and virologists seems to be becoming more and more socially acceptable," the agency cautioned, according to the daily De Standaard.
Largely organized via social media, Sunday's demonstration was billed as the second "nationwide march for freedom."
Demonstrators held placards reading "vaccines don't make you free," and "stop the dictatorship." They chanted "freedom" and "COVID Safety Pass, no thanks!" referring to the government's digital certificate needed for entry into restaurants and pubs or large events.
Many denounced the "corrupt media" and called for the government of Prime Minister Alexander De Croo to resign, with some targeting Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke in particular.
"I can no longer recognize the society that we are living in," said one participant, who declined to identify herself. "I have never seen the government track down healthy people."
Demonstrators also signaled wider distrust of authorities, with signs linking the sanitary measures and use of digital tools such as QR codes to a weakening of civil liberties.
Similar protests were held this weekend in other European cities. Over 40,000 protesters were reported marching in the Austrian capital of Vienna, while thousands more protested in the Dutch city of Utrecht.

Best Shopping Centres in London
Local Recommendations from our My Guide London team
If the flagship shops or the vivid markets aren't really your thing, London is home to the two biggest shopping centres in Europe. But if you're feeling less adventurous we have medium and small sized ones too.
If you thought you could happily spend merely a day in a shopping centre, think again. You could practicially live in the ones London has. One is over in Stratford, where the Olympics are being held in the summer. The other is in Shepherd's Bush, known for its rocking music venue, the Shepherd's Bush Empire.

Ariana Grande Joins These Pop Stars Who Released 3 Studio Albums in 3 Years
With Ariana Grande's October 2020 sixth album, she joins an elite club of musicians with multiple consecutive year drops. For many mainstream artists, a typical album cycle is about two years. Even those who release two albums in back-to-back years often take a little longer to get to their next one, making Grande's 2018, 2019, and 2020 drops unique.
But she's not the only one of her kind. Other pop singers of the past few decades have achieved this feat. Discover a few who have been influential to Grande in her career and how successful their albums were here.
Grande is a self-professed fan of Rihanna. So it's not surprising that she's following in her footsteps. Rihanna's debut album via Def Jam Records, Music of the Sun, was released in August 2005. Though its lead single "Pon de Replay" got a lot of airtime, the album as a whole wasn't incredibly well-received, and the artist got right to work on her follow-up.
Less than eight months later, Rihanna dropped A Girl Like Me, which nearly doubled her debut's sales. Singles like "SOS" earned her even more attention. But it was the artist's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, that secured her superstar status (and several Grammy nominations). The album was released in May 2007, a little over a year after her previous one.
Mariah Carey
Grande counts Mariah Carey among her most significant inspirations in the music industry. As a fellow R&B-leaning pop diva with a stunning vocal range, it's easy to see why. Though there was once an inkling of contention there, the two artists are now friendly (and reportedly working on a project together).
After releasing her self-titled debut and Emotions in 1990 and 1991, Carey's third studio release, August 1993's Music Box, saw her take the wheel, with what remains her highest-selling studio album. She then set off on creating a holiday album, Merry Christmas, which dropped in October 1994.
From that album came one of the hits that Carey remains best known for: Her holiday tune, "All I Want For Christmas Is You," which finally reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 25 years later. Less than one year after Merry Christmas, Carey released one of her most beloved albums, Daydream, in September 1995.
Britney Spears
Another prominent artist from Grande's formative years, Britney Spears, kicked off her career with a bang. Her debut studio album, 1999's …Baby One More Time, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Not only did Spears earn Grammy nominations for it, but it helped usher in a new age of young pop artists.
Given her mass appeal, Spears' label, Jive Records, allowed the singer no downtime. After returning from her first tour, she was immediately in the studio recording its follow-up, 2000's Oops!… I Did It Again, which also debuted at the top of the chart. In November 2001, Britney made history as the first female artist to their first three albums debut at No. 1.

And then take any Inspired Action you "FEEL" will bring you one step closer to your desired goal
And remember…. set the bar really, really high
Happy Monday 😘

'Whipsnakes Ball': Why the defending champs were destined to repeat amid a pandemic
By Josh Schafer | Aug 10, 2020
Sporting a new championship t-shirt wet from celebration Zed Williams listened to his accomplishments from the game. He scored six goals, five of which came in the fourth period and led to the Whipsnakes winning the PLL Championship for the second year in a row, this time without a loss.
But when asked about his mindset during the game, Williams mentioned his teammates first. Williams, an indigenous person from the Cattaraugus Reservation clinched his stick through the whole interview, an ode to the medicine game of lacrosse he appreciates so dearly.
Williams, the 2020 Jim Brown Most Valuable Player, eyed the trophy, choked up about his father and walked away from the interview after less than a minute at the microphone having said more about the Whipsnakes than anyone could.
"This one's for my dad." pic.twitter.com/tvdH8GXlS5— Whipsnakes Lacrosse Club (@PLLWhipsnakes) August 9, 2020
Williams is known as a humble person and embodies the team ideals of the Whipsnakes. In his first PLL season, he led the league in goals at the PLL Championship series, including four goals in less than two minutes to spark a fourth-period run. The defense, which Stagnitta protected during the Expansion Draft, allowed zero goals in the final 17:38 of the game. The Whipsnakes assisted on five of their 12 goals in the game and surged back from a 6-2 deficit in the middle of the third period to end the game on a 10-0 run in an eventual 12-6 championship victory over Chaos on Sunday.
The game, the championship run and the plan from the beginning was the epitome of 'Whipsnakes ball,' a term players often use to describe the team's success. The sometimes cliche phrases players list off aren't just lip service though. They're why the Whipsnakes are repeat champions.
Because all the phrases are true. The Whipsnakes don't have the best players, they have the right players. Their players make the best pass, not the first pass. Their players hit singles and don't take unnecessary risks. Their players win championships because they live a team mindset and don't just preach it.
"It's hard to win in professional sports, to get people to truly play like a team," Stagnitta said. "We talk about it all the time in the huddles. How are you making the team better today? What is your contribution to the guy next to you? What's your commitment to him? Let's take the best shot, not the first shot. Those are all kind of part of our system and kind of Whipsnakes lacrosse. It's not a cliche, it's really part of our culture.
"We say the best team wins, not the best players and we've been able to have the kind of guys that buy into that."
Understanding the culture
Stagnitta met JC Glick about four years ago during a summer lacrosse camp on Nantucket. A lifelong lacrosse coach, Stagnitta took an interest in Glick's leadership seminars and books. A former Army Ranger, Glick emphasizes people over everything when building a culture. As a leader, the people you're serving need to come first.
Eventually, Glick and Stagnitta partnered up and formed Prodromos, which advises leaders of organizations in the areas of culture and leadership. The term Prodromos, refers to an ancient Greek cavalry unit that scouted ahead of the main unit. Stagnitta and Glick have worked with coaches like Ron Rivera and companies such as Capital One.
The pair preach four principles in leadership: curiosity, humility, loyalty and empathy. All of those four ideals stress putting other people first and being a listener, not a talker. Stagnitta's voice is often calm when mic'd up on NBC. Sometimes he asks questions before he directs. The players say they appreciate his honesty the most; they know what they're getting from coach Stags.
"That team is good because it has good players," Glick said. "It's allowed to win because it's coach allows it to win...Good leaders allow good people to do great things and you don't get in their way."
It's why they all talk like him when they're talking to the media. Or perhaps he talks like them. Regardless, they all mention their teammates first. They talk about how they don't care who scores, they just want to win. At times, it sounds like a list of cliches meant to escape a media appearance. But when you throw that mindset into a three-week quarnitined tournament. It builds on the players. They ate every meal together for the course of the tournament, spent entire days at the facility and then bussed back to the hotel to sleep side by side.
Intentional or not, the Championship Series was truly built for the best team to win, a team that understands itself and it's values.
"We obviously have a lot of talent," said attackman Jay Carlson. "It's still about playing unselfish lacrosse. I think watching some of these other teams in other games, some of these guys have their ball in their stick a little too long. They're trying to get their own points, own goals, while I think our team kind of plays unselfish offense."
Building the roster
A ping pong ball might've saved the Whipsnakes chances at repeating. When the Expansion Draft rules were announced and Jim Stagnitta knew he'd lose some players to the incoming Waterdogs Lacrosse Club, he and his staff decided their defense would be the most irreplaceable. The whole group had come out of the same system at Maryland and meshed well in their first season with the Whipsnakes. So Stagnitta forfeited 71 points of offense knowing he'd replace them in the offseason drafts.
Then a global pandemic happened. With the college lacrosse season cut short, and the NCAA offering an extra year of eligibility, many of the players Stagnitta and his staff thought would be coming into the PLL stayed in college.
Luckily, the Whipsnakes had that one ping pong ball for the Expansion Draft. It was pulled fifth, rather than the anticipated 7th spot, and gave Stagnitta his first major win of the offseason: Williams. With midfield and attack experience and the ability to drive an offense on the opposite of Matt Rambo, Stagnitta knew Williams would be a key element to this year's team.
"That going our way made all the difference in the world," Stagnitta said.
In the months leading up to the Championship Series, the Whipsnakes traded for Max Tuttle, a midfielder formerly with Chrome LC, and finalized a roster that included Jay Carlson and Brad Smith as potential offensive contributors. Smith sat out all of 2019 with a broken foot, while Carlson had played in 2019 but not on a consistent basis.
In the spring, Carlson wasn't sure he'd be making the trip to Utah. Originally, he'd heard there might be 20 players with two additional spots for reserves and the man who's known for his crease dominating antics wasn't positive he'd be on that list.
He called Stagnitta. He told his coach from the year before that he's the kind of player that arrives each year better than the last. He explained how his game, a player that exploits holes in the middle of a defense and capitalizes on inefficient slides, would be perfect for tournament play. When defenses grow tired, their play proves sloppy and sloppy defenses forget about guys like Jay Carlson.
After starting six games in the PLL's inaugural season, Carlson had trained to be a starter in 2020. A week or so after their first phone conversation, Stagnitta rang Carlson and told him he'd be coming.
"On paper, some people from the outside were like 'eh I'm not sure what we're going to get from those guys,' and they thought we were going to lose some scoring from those other guys," LSM Michael Ehrhardt said. "But we all knew, in our team, that we had a great group of guys going into this tournament and that we were going to have success with it."
Two games to glory
Matt Rambo and Zed Williams didn't score a single point in the Whipsnakes semifinal matchup against Redwoods. Rambo entered the game the PLL leader in points with 20, while Williams led the PLL in goals with 14. For most teams, not having either of those players score would paralyze the offense. But the Whipsnakes had other scoring options.
The Redwoods slid quickly. It helped limit Rambo and Williams from attacking their one-on-one matchups as they were rarely alone but it also led to an overactive defense. As the Redwoods defense slid, the second and third slides couldn't keep up with the ball movement.
It was just like Carlson had suggested to Stagnitta. Eventually, teams would lose him. It led to him finding the ball on the doorstep (no team had more rebound goals than the Whipsnakes) and him catching and shooting as well (no team scored off two passes more than the Whipsnakes). Carlson scored four goals in the game while Smith and Tuttle each added one.
The Redwoods' focus on the attackmen led to transition woes as well. The defense didn't want to slide off of Rambo and Williams, a fair strategy, but it left Ehrhardt unmarked in transition and led to two two-point goals from the LSM.
Jeremy Sieverts, a second-line midfielder, scored the game-winning goal in overtime on his third shot of the PLL Championship Series. After dodging on a short-stick midfielder, No one slid to the previously unthreatening Sieverts. He swept across the alley and bounced in a goal.
Jeremy Sieverts called game. pic.twitter.com/3QfOX6jmmz— Premier Lacrosse League (@PremierLacrosse) August 7, 2020
"We're just all about winning," Rambo said earlier in the Championship Series. "We don't give a s*** who scores, we just want to win."
Rambo and Wiliams entered the fourth period of Sunday's Championship with two points combined. The Whipsnakes trailed 6-3.
The work of the lacrosse version of Prodromos, the scouting done ahead for the group, pointed to open two-man games and inverting midfielders. Through three periods, the Whipsnakes had played one-on-one lacrosse and not moved the ball enough. Before the start of the final 12 minutes, Stagnitta reminded his team of the matchups they wanted, challenged Smith and Haus to keep inverting and left the players to speak with themselves.
Good coaches allow good people to do great things.
"Trust yourself, trust each other," Defenseman Matt Dunn pleaded to his teammates before their huddle ended.
The first goal of the fourth period came via a John Haus invert and drive from X. A two-man game spawned the game-tying goal from Williams while two passes led to Carlson's go-ahead goal. In between those goals, and well after, Chaos never scored. The Whipsnakes defense Stagnitta had valued so much in the offseason finished the tournament allowing the least second-half goals per game.
Stagnitta admitted post-game that part of the fourth quarter magic wasn't anything you can coach. It was Williams being Williams, using opponents as picks, barreling through defenders, and zipping in goals.
When Williams received the individual reward for those efforts, he looked to his right and tried to pass the MVP trophy around. He wanted to share it with his teammates. The best player had won and so had the best team.

_EcoMimetics (ecomimics)
_Nature's Wisdom
Nature has been designing and field testing sustainable solutions to complex problems for billions of years. Sustainable because these solutions adapt and evolve to their environment. Natures technology is vastly superior to anything humanity has. The human brain is the planet's best computer, humanity has designed nothing like it. But nature not only has its technology, it also has the most effective approach to understanding socio-economic situations, ecology eco-systems.
Ecomimetics or Ecomimics moves humanity on from using nature as a biomimetic (biomimicary) look-up source for engineering, materials and medicinal solutions, to being inspired by and understanding the wisdom of utilising the system that designed these soluions in the first instance, Ecomimics.
Nature as an economic philosophy
Whereas biomimicary takes these solutions in isolation, generally without regard for their impact on the environment, Ecomimics is a systemic level philosophy, which considers the sustainability issues as its primary function. Capitalism in its current form can not deliver a global sustainable socio-economic system. However an economic level ecomimics based solution, if applied ecomimically would, if only for its clarity of purpose, that of survivability and sustainability.
Why? Beause the primary performance indicator and thus the Measure of Success (MOSS) are survivability and sustainability. Thus, you would be considered wealthly, not on the basis of resouce hoarding, but on the extent to which you enable society, in its broadest form, to realise its potential towards a sustainable and equitable future(s)
Nature as a meta design philosophy
Humanity needs a new meta-economic philosophy. Capitalism is extinct. I am reminded by the native american wisdom 'when riding a dead horse, dismount'
The wisdom is there. Humanity can solve the existing economic and environmental problems.
Ecomimics is market driven, it just that the MOSS is based on evolving a sustainable environment that enables humanity to realise its potential without the destructive, both in human and planetary terms.
Thus, all design of both tangible and in-tangible solutions should follow a single coherent sustainable meta-philosophy, ecomimetics.
Ecomimetics (ecomimics) is the only sustainable meta-design philosophy.

USA: Federal Agencies Expand Urban Waterway Revitalization Efforts
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in partnership with the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Department of the Interior, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other federal partners, announced that the Urban Waters Federal Partnership is adding 11 new locations.
In addition, two more federal partner agencies will join the partnership in its collaborative efforts to restore waterways and their environments, boost recreation, help local economies, create jobs, and protect Americans' health.
EPA Acting Administrator Bob Perciasepe, joined by CEQ Chair Nancy Sutley, Department of Interior Deputy Regional Director Charlie Wooley, and USDA State Conservationist Garry Lee, will announce the partnership's expansion during a press conference today in Grand Rapids. They will be joined by U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell, and many local business and civic leaders for the announcement.
Through the partnership, agencies are working to revitalize urban waterways and communities that surround them, transforming overlooked assets and driving urban revival. The U.S. Department of Education will join the 11 existing agencies, expanding the expertise of the partnership by connecting school groups with their local waterways and preparing students for careers in science. The U.S. Department of Energy will also join to help communities accelerate the adoption of clean energy technologies. With the addition of the two agencies, the expertise and resources available to the sites are expanded.
The 11 new project locations are:
– Big River and Meramec River watersheds near St. Louis, Mo
– Delaware River Basin that covers Philadelphia, Camden, N.J., Chester, Pa., and Wilmington, Del.
– Grand River in Grand Rapids, Mich.
– Green-Duwamish River in Seattle
– Mystic River watershed in Greater Boston
– Martin Pena Canal in San Juan, P.R.
– Middle Blue River in Kansas City, Mo.
– Middle Rio Grande in Albuquerque, N.M.
– Passaic River in Newark, N.J.
– Proctor Creek watershed in Atlanta
– Western Lake Erie Basin near Toledo, Ohio
"Our waterways should be assets that communities can access and enjoy, especially in urban areas, where so many Americans live and work," said Nancy Sutley, Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality. "Through this innovative initiative, Federal agencies are working together with local partners to focus their resources and expertise on revitalizing urban waterways and promoting the health and economies of surrounding communities."
"Since we launched the Urban Waters Federal Partnership two years ago, we've seen firsthand what the transformation of degraded urban waterways into clean, healthy and treasured centerpieces can do for local communities – not only from an aesthetic standpoint, but also from a public health and economic standpoint," said Acting EPA Administrator Bob Perciasepe. "Restored urban waters can reinvigorate communities, and I am confident the new project locations will see the same success the Partnership's efforts have already supported across the country."
"Restoring urban waterways not only helps protect our water quality, urban parks and wildlife refuges, but also provides increased recreational opportunities that benefit residents and local economies," said Deputy Secretary of the Interior David J. Hayes. "From the Grand Rapids River, to the Delaware River Basin and the Middle Rio Grande, Interior agencies are working as part of the Urban Waters Federal Partnership to get more Americans outdoors for their health, as well as the health of their communities and their economies."
"Restoring these water ways is not only important for improving the water that we all depend on, but for spurring economic growth and creating recreational opportunities in these communities as well," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "USDA has contributed $1.2 million in financial assistance to support these projects to date, and we will continue providing expert staff and technical assistance to help revitalize water in communities throughout the country."
"The protection and revitalization of rivers and watersheds in urban areas not only demonstrates this administration's commitment to improving public health and restoring natural resources in urban communities, but also helps beautify and increase property values in neighborhoods that are being developed or revitalized close to urban rivers," said HUD Deputy Secretary, Maurice Jones.
With the addition of 11 new locations across the country, the work of the partnership, now in 18 communities, will expand to the country's largest cities and underserved communities. These projects will further the goals of the partnership and address a wide range of issues such as improving water quality, restoring ecosystems and enhancing public access to urban waters. A progress report also released today details the successes and plans for future actions at each program location, as well as actions taken by each of the federal partners.
Americans use urban waterways as sources of drinking water and for a variety of activities including boating, fishing and swimming. Revitalizing these urban waterways will reconnect citizens to open spaces, and have a positive economic impact on local businesses, tourism and property values, as well as spur private investment and job creation in communities.
Launched in 2011, the Urban Waters Federal Partnership closely aligns with and advances the work of other White House efforts such as the Partnership for Sustainable Communities by revitalizing communities, creating jobs and improving the quality of life in cities and towns. The partnership also supports President Obama's America's Great Outdoors Initiative aimed at making the federal government a better partner with communities that are working to provide safe, healthy and accessible outdoor spaces.

The purpose of a pillow is pretty simple: Keep your head and neck aligned while you sleep. How many hours of sleep do you get each night? How many mornings do you wake up with a stiff neck? How often do you toss and turn because you just can't get comfortable?
Your pillow probably has a lot to do with your bad night's sleep. I don't know about you, but I change positions a lot at night. That can make it hard to find the right pillow.
Over the past months I've worked my way through a constant rotation of new pillows, sampling traditional favourites and hi-tech new products to find the best pillows for the perfect night's sleep.
A stiff pillow will make it uncomfortable to sleep on your stomach or back. A soft pillow will make it uncomfortable to sleep on your side.
The wrong pillow can cause:
- Stiffness because your neck is strained.
- Disrupted sleep because you're constantly readjusting your pillow.
- Allergies because your pillow attracts dust mites.
You know the importance of a good night's sleep. I know that when I actually get a full night of sleep – good sleep – I have an easier time staying focused at work and I can get through my daily workouts with ease.
I had trouble getting consistent nights of quality sleep until I changed pillows.
If your pillow is messing with your sleep quality, here's the good news: it's an easy fix. The SleepNow pillow may be just what you need.
The Trouble with Regular Pillows
Do you really need a special pillow, like SleepNow? Here's the thing – your existing pillows are probably making your sleep, and maybe even your health, worse.
Over time, your pillow accumulates bacteria, mold, dust mites and skin cells. You should be replacing your pillows every 3-6 months, but let's be honest: who does that?
But those dust mites, dirt, oil and skin cells all contribute to allergies, asthma and acne. Yes, acne. I noticed that when I regularly wash or replace my pillows, my skin is significantly clearer.
Regular pillows can also lead to stiffness in the morning. You may not be using a pillow that suits your body type, or your pillow may be so old that it no longer offers you good support.
And when you have to readjust your pillow dozens of times each night, it disrupts your sleep.
About 35% of people are not getting enough sleep, and a poor-quality pillow is probably to blame for many bad nights of sleep.
I've always been told that you need to buy a new mattress if you're not getting a good night of sleep. But as SleepNow points out, there's a good chance that your pillow is to blame.
What is the Sleep Now Pillow?
SleepNow is a premium pillow with a design that was once exclusively offered to 5-star hotels.
These pillows are:
- For all body types
- Cruelty-free
- Made with plush fibers
- Hypoallergenic
The Sleep Now luxury pillow is made using technology designed to give you a good night of sleep – every night.
But what makes this pillow so special? A pillow is a pillow, right? Wrong.
SleepNow's pillows feature an innovative 3-in-1 construction, so you can choose between soft, medium and firm whenever you need.
These pillows adapt to your sleeping environment, so you can wake up feeling refreshed every morning.
SleepNow pillows:
- Have a cooling effect
- Are adjustable
I like to compare these pillows to pancakes. You can add or remove "stacks" or layers to suit your needs. The more layers you add, the firmer the pillow.
Here's how it works:
- SleepNow has two pillows concealed inside of a plush, soft, outer layer.
- These pillows create three firmness combinations: soft, medium and firm.
It's truly a one-size-fits-all solution. That's what I found most intriguing about these pillows. You can customize them to fit your sleeping needs. If you want to sleep on your side tonight, just add another layer to firm up your pillow. Want to sleep on your back? Remove a layer or two for a more comfortable sleep. What other pillow offers that option?
And because the pillow is adjustable, you don't really need to sleep on more than one. Forget having a bed full of pillows and spending a fortune buying four or more at a time.
The pillow's design is unique, but let's talk about the construction of the pillow. SleepNow uses extra-long and extra-soft fibers as well as a blend of hypoallergenic material. This combination of material creates a cooling effect because vapors and moisture are allowed to escape.
It may sound a little technical, but in reality, it's simple: this pillow keeps you cool while adjusting to your needs.
If you read other Sleep Now pillow reviews, you'll see that most people love the adjustable feature.
The only real complaint is that if you're a person who changes positions throughout the night, you may still have mild discomfort in some positions. For example, if you go to bed with the soft firmness level, you may hurt your neck if you decide to sleep on your side.
One solution to this problem is to sleep with the medium firmness level. Medium firmness is comfortable for most people in most positions.
Final Verdict
The SleepNow pillow's innovative design and construction is impressive. I like that you can customize the firmness of the pillow to meet your needs.
That's why I've given this pillow a 97% rating.
It's not perfect – there are some issues. This pillow doesn't automatically adjust while you sleep to match your sleeping position (no pillow does). If you change positions often, you may not like the design of this pillow. Of course, most people find that the medium firmness level fixes this problem.
I like that this pillow will keep you cool and that it has an ultra-plush design. It's comfortable, it's luxurious, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Hi everyone, I thought that now might be a good time to discuss one of the major issues I have faced in starting my Master's Degree – imposter syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is often associated with feelings of self-doubt and lack of belief in one's abilities. It was first described in the 70's and often occurs when someone feels they do not have the necessary skills or attributes needed for, in most cases, a particular job or degree (APA, 2020). It seems that Imposter Syndrome is popular amongst Graduate Students and I know from personal experience and speaking to friends that it is probably more common than people think.
I have struggled with this issue since receiving an offer to study at UCL. UCL is often thought to be one of the world's top universities in Neuroscience teaching and research and I knew that the application process was competitive. Queen Square is a world leading centre of neuroscience and neurology research and knowing that I would be learning from some of the best researchers in the field at such a historic institution, I felt that I wasn't deserving of the place I was offered. Even after meeting my offer and successfully graduating during a global pandemic, I was terrified that I would not cope with the high standards I expected I would face and I was worried that I would struggle to keep up with my peers.
I was never a straight A student and to be honest, I often considered myself to be an average student at best. I am however a bit of a perfectionist and I therefore struggle if I don't meet my very high expectations of myself. I think this pressure to do well therefore made me feel like a bit of a fraud when I was applying to postgraduate degrees. While my undergraduate degree no doubt prepared me for studying at Masters level, I was always concerned that I would drown under the workload and that I would need more support than was on offer. I was terrified that my knowledge of statistics wasn't up to scratch and thought I would struggle to keep up with the clinical terminology amongst various other concerns. These concerns weren't necessary as the University of Glasgow provides their Undergraduate Psychology students with exceptional experience in statistics and clinical terminology is much easier to get to grips with than I first thought, but nevertheless the concerns were understandable.
Being a first generation student and starting university at a relatively young age, I had no idea what to expect from my undergraduate degree or postgraduate education and the unknown was unnerving. I also find research a very daunting career path as it is so competitive and although it is rewarding, can at times be draining and disheartening. I was often concerned that if I wasn't working hard and staying productive at all times I would fall behind and lessen my chances of a successful career in research. I think that this fear and the feeling of anxiety that comes with imposter syndrome is something people tend to avoid talking about.
For a long time, I didn't talk about the feelings I was experiencing. I didn't want others to know that I didn't believe I was deserving of my success so far. I truly believed it was down to luck but didn't want this to be obvious to other people. As it turns out, lots of other people feel this way and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Having spoken to many of my peers throughout my undergraduate and now postgraduate degree, a lot of us seemed to experience similar feelings. University can be a very competitive environment and this pressure to compete and do well leads to many students feeling inadequate. I found it hard to watch my peers achieving good grades if I had been disappointed by mine and although I tend to watch study tube videos to motivate me while studying, they often left me feeling like I wasn't achieving much as the standards they set in terms of coping with university and daily life can be so high.
Having spoken to fellow students on my Master's degree, it is clear none of us are really the "perfect student", and I don't actually know if that exists or is achievable. It's an image we all strive for but as a group, we face many of the same struggles. These include coping with the workload in front of us, worrying that we aren't learning enough content or reading enough extra material, struggling to prepare for our exams and finishing assignments on time while also having to think about where we might want to go and what we want to do after this Masters degree. I know that I don't always feel capable of handling all of these things but I am learning to be okay with this because so many other people are in the same boat.
I think it is important to know that imposter syndrome is nothing to be ashamed of and that being honest with yourself and others can be a great feeling. I feel so much better when I can share my worries with other people and I often feel that if I have a concern, someone else is likely to be thinking the same thing. I try to give myself more credit for what I have achieved as university isn't easy and every one of us will probably doubt ourselves at some point.
If you're struggling with imposter syndrome, feel like a fraud or are battling perfectionism, particularly as a graduate student, please know that you are not alone. Give yourself a high-five every now and then, even for the little things and small achievements. Be kind to yourself and take care of yourself.
As always thanks for tuning in and be sure to catch my blog next month and my upcoming "week in the life of a student in lockdown" vlog later this month,
If you are struggling with Imposter Syndrome, or recognise some of the issues that Morgan discussed in your own life, here are three things that might help:
- Seek feedback from people you trust – Anxiety about being 'found out' can lead you to distance yourself from other students and staff. This may reinforce a sense that you don't belong, and can mean that the self-critical thoughts you might be hiding are not questioned. Remember that the way that you see yourself will not always reflect how others see you. If you let others know about your anxieties where appropriate, they may be able to bring a new perspective, or help you to question the self-critical thoughts that you have. You may even discover that they have or have had the same kind of feelings themselves.
- Don't be afraid to make mistakes – You may worry that if you are seen to make a mistake, or not to know something, this will be proof to those around you that you are an 'imposter'. Surely if you were a 'proper' student you'd always know the 'proper' thing to say and do, right? In fact we all get things wrong sometimes, and we can't know everything. The fear of getting things wrong can lead you to silence yourself, stopping you from communicating the valuable ideas that you have. Sometimes the only way to give yourself a voice in a group is to risk the possibility of making a mistake. You may be surprised to find that others receive your idea very differently to how you expected.
- Be yourself – A common response to 'imposter' feelings is to try to conform to how you think other people expect you to be. For example you might feel that in order to be a 'proper' student, or in order to get the approval of peers or staff, you have to look a certain way, dress a certain way, hold a certain viewpoint, or talk or write a certain way. It can be helpful to question the assumptions that you are making about what others expect, and to give yourself more room to express yourself in a way that feels more true to yourself. Trying to give others what you think they want can reinforce the feeling that you are 'pretending'. Instead you have something unique that you can contribute that comes out of your own thinking and life experience.

On Friday, September 4, 2015, detectives with the Dallas Police Department arrested 23-year-old Crystal Cortes on suspicion that she had been the person behind the wheel of the Jeep Cherokee. Cortes, during her interrogation, confessed to her role in the robbery-murder. She also identified the shooter as 31-year-old Kristopher Love.
After a week into the Hatcher murder investigation detectives came to believe that robbery had not been the motive behind the killing. The officers suspected the slaying had been the culmination of a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by a 33-year-old dental hygiene student at Stanford-Brown College named Brenda Delgado.
Two months before the murder, Delgado, a Mexican citizen, and her boyfriend, 38-year-old dermatologist Dr. Ricardo Panigua, had broken up following a two-year relationship. After the split Dr. Panigua began dating Dr. Kendra Hatcher. Detectives suspected that Delgado had the dentist murdered out of jealousy and rage.
When questioned by investigators the murder-for-hire suspect admitted lending Crystal Cortes the Jeep Cherokee and meeting with Cortes and the suspected hit man, Kristopher Love. She met with the murder suspects at a Dallas apartment complex a few days before the killing. Delgado, however, denied being the mastermind behind a plot to have her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend murdered. That, she claimed, had been Love's idea.
On September 11, 2015, a Dallas County prosecutor charged Crystal Cortes with capital murder. Police officers booked her into the Dallas County Jail under $500,000 bond. Cortes' attorney, George Ashford III, told reporters that his client, before what she believed was just going to be a robbery, had tried to call and warn Dr. Hatcher of the hold-up plot. The lawyer said that after the killing Mr. Love had threatened to kill Cortes' 6-year-old son if she went to the authorities.
According to Crystal Cortes, Brenda Delgado had promised her and the hit man free prescription drugs if they robbed Dr. Hatcher. Also, Delgado had allegedly paid Cortes $500 to drive Kristopher Love to the robbery scene. Just before Love climbed out of the Jeep in the victim's parking garage, Cortes asked him how much money Delgado had paid him to commit the robbery. Love replied, "That's none of your business."
On October 3, 2015, Dallas detectives arrested Kristopher Love on suspicion of capital murder. At the time he was taken into custody he was still in possession of the murder weapon. A magistrate set his bail at $2.5 million. In Texas a capital murder conviction can lead to the death penalty.
About the time Kristopher Love was arrested a Dallas County prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for Brenda Delgado. At that time the murder-for-hire suspect's whereabouts were unknown.
In speaking to reporters regarding Delgado, Major Max Geron of the Dallas Police Department, said: "Ms. Delgado was involved in the planning and the commission of Kendra Hatcher's murder."
On April 7, 2016, a spokesperson with the FBI announced that murder-for-hire fugitive Brenda Delgado had been placed on the bureau's "Ten Most Wanted" list. A day later the authorities in Torreon, Mexico took the fugitive into custody.
In October 2018, a jury sitting in Dallas, Texas found Kristopher Love guilty of murder. The judge sentenced the hitman to death.
Before Delgado could be extradited back to Texas, the U.S. prosecutor had to agree not to pursue the death penalty against the suspect. According to the Mexican authorities in charge of the case, it could take up to a year to complete the extradition process.
On June 7, 2019, a jury in Dallas, Texas, after deliberating only twenty minutes, found Brenda Delgado guilty of the plot to murder Dr. Kendra Hatcher. The judge sentenced her to life in prison.

Collectors have love the Hess Holiday toys for years. We even have a few of them in our home. The scale models of their vehicles are not only fun, but ones that are made with such detail that collectors absolutely want to have them on their shelves. And this year, not only will you be able to grab your own holiday model (we're still waiting to see what that will be) but you can also grab the Hess 2021 Mini Collection – a collection unlike any other they've released so far.
So, what makes the Hess 2021 Mini Collection different? Not only do you get three highly detailed miniatures of their trucks but you also get 2 smaller cars as well.

It will be hard to not take off their stands to play with and see them rolling across the table or floors.
But let's talk about those stands too. Not only does each miniature come with it's own stand but it's labeled for display. Each stand is highly reflective and will showcase the details on your favorite Hess Truck when you have them out. They're small enough to have on your desk, a shelf or just to keep in their box for safe keeping.
Probably one of our favorite things about the new Hess 2021 Mini Truck set is that you can order them now for anyone on your Christmas list and you'll have that checked off your list. They're a great collector item, but something that anyone who loves cars and trucks can appreciate and would love to get as a gift. They're an affordable way for fans top grow their collection and highlight some of their favorite vehicles.

Al-Manara Center for People with Disabilities, affiliated to the Episcopal/ Anglican Church, today started receiving the center's children, as the school day started with a reception for children.
For her part, Janet Shamei, director of the center, said: We hosted the children with their families, and after the celebration, they began to be distributed among classes, taking into account the individual differences of each child, as there are six classes divided according to the child's mental ability
Janet added: The center was keen to achieve social distancing between children in the classroom and take precautionary measures not to transmit infection between them, as one class includes only six children, taking into account sterilization of hands and washing them every half hour.
Al-Manara Center for Serving People with Special Needs is a center affiliated with the Episco Care Foundation for Social Services, which is the Samaritan arm of the Episcopal/Anglican Church in Egypt. The Foundation runs the development and social services centers and institutions of the Episcopal/Anglican Church in Egypt. In the year 2003, the Foundation was officially registered with the Ministry of Social Solidarity to support people with special needs and provide them with rehabilitation and education services, after the church noticed the lack of these services in the city of Menouf.
It is worth mentioning that the Province of Alexandria for the Episcopal/Anglican Church is the 41st region of this church around the world, and it includes under its presidency 10 countries in Egypt and North Africa, and is under the presidency of the Archbishop of Canterbury and belongs to the Episcopal/Anglican Church Union in the world.
In Egypt, the Episcopal/Anglican Church was established in 1815 and the first Episcopal/Anglican Church was founded in Alexandria in 1839 when it was given a plot of land in Alexandria's Manshia square to establish the Episcopal/Anglican Church of St. Mark by Mohamed Ali Pasha the Ruler of Egypt at this time.

Clément's Reply to Rome
You Are Peter: An Orthodox Theologian's Reflection on the Exercise
of Papal Primacy
by Olivier Clément, translated by M. S. Laird, with a foreword by Avery Dulles
New York: New City Press, 2003
(112 pages; $12.95, paperback)
reviewed by Anthony Dragani
One of the thorniest issues in ecumenical relations is the Catholic belief in the pope's primacy. While Catholics believe that the papacy is a necessary and divinely mandated institution, Protestant and Orthodox Christians usually find it to be an ongoing source of division. There is a note of tragic irony in this, for Catholicism teaches that the purpose of the papacy is to safeguard and preserve the unity of Christ's Church.
Anthony Dragani is a doctoral candidate in theology at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and writes for the Eastern Churches Journal. He is a Byzantine Catholic.

About Our Leather
The leather we use on our furniture is a full-grain, full aniline leather. The hides are sourced in South America and finished in Italian tanneries.
The hides are tanned exclusively with soluble dyes and then given a brushed finish. They aren't painted. This means that the leather retains its natural surface, making it more breathable and supple. You will also be able to see the original grain and markings of the hide.
We treat the leather this way as it gives it that smooth, buttery soft velvet feel that will age beautifully over time developing a rich patina and colour.
We work closely with our suppliers to select and curate a wide range of leathers to best suit your different upholstery needs.
Quality comes first; our products are designed and built to last.
If you follow our guidelines throughout the life of your furniture piece, you will have a product that ages gracefully and looks its best for years.
- Wipe timber to remove dust and dirt with a dry cloth.
- You may choose to occasionally vacuum the frame under the seat with a clean soft brush attachment.
- Avoid using leather polishes and harsh cleaning agents as this might damage the finish of the aniline leather.

"The future depends on what we do in the present." - Mohandas Gandhi

Three Cuban women are on hunger strike in front of the United Nations in New York City. There names are Anisley Pérez, Niurka Prestamos and Yamisderky Pelier, They are on a hunger strike until a United Nations official meets with them and recognizes that there is a humanitarian emergency underway in Cuba. They traveled from Miami to New York City and initiated the hunger strike on Saturday, August 28, 2021.
They are not alone. Seven human rights organizations on July 13, 2021 issued a call for international solidarity with Cubans and denounced violent repression on the Island. Among the organizations are the Christian Democrat Organization of America, UN Watch, Christian Solidarity Worldwide, Victims of Communism, the International Society for Human Rights, and the Forum for Religious Freedom - Europe and among the five points agreed to, the fifth was a request for a humanitarian corridor.
"We ask for the opening of a humanitarian channel, independent of the Cuban state, which allows the arrival of food and medicines directly to the people, understanding that on numerous previous occasions the Cuban government has blocked and confiscated the aid collected and sent in the past."
If you are in the New York City area, or can get up there for a few days, these women need help to maintain their hunger strike. They are exposed to the elements, and need water. Now is the time for solidarity.

The Benefits of Vaginal Massage
Vaginal massage, aka yoni massage, especially when given by your sexual partner, is an extremely pleasurable experience. No doubt for most women, it is an exciting and gratifying experience, but many will not understand how much more it is doing for both their physical and mental well-being. Take an analogy on eating out, for most men stopping by a steak house provides instant gratification. Although a woman can enjoy a good fillet steak, it is not a meal she will want every day whereas many men would happily opt for a prime rib.
For women, arousal and sex are so much more. Think Smorgasbord, many flavors, many types of dishes and ideally enjoyed in a variety of locations, the posh restaurant, the picnic, at home or in a 5-star hotel. So, what has this got to do with vaginal massage? Well, rather than straight forward penetration the experience of having her vagina massaged before penetration ensures she is much more prepared and ready for sex.
If her partner learns how to use either his fingers or a sex toy to reach inside and massage the internal surfaces of her vagina, her body and her mind will respond making the pleasure she is experiencing even more fulfilling.
The benefits of vaginal massage:
Boost suppleness and blood circulation of the skin of the vulva and vagina.
Loosen the muscles of the pelvic floor resulting in more intense orgasms and better vaginal health.
Promote a sense of peace and deep relaxation because it reduces tension and increases cellular flow in the central core of your body.
Improve her overall well-being and sensuousness because you are establishing a loving relationship with her body.
Reverse vaginal atrophy for menopausal women.
Provides sexual intimacy when your sexual partner is giving the massage.
Provides intense sexual pleasure and is extremely useful for those who suffer from neurological and physical tensions.
Increase natural vaginal moisture during sex and natural lubrication of the vagina during and before sexual intercourse. This process also increases the pleasure and euphoria of having intercourse without pain or need for lubricants.
Feeling excited and creating a mood of excitement and atmosphere of coexistence in peace with yourself for the existence of love, sensual relationship with the essence of your femininity.
Potentially it can bring on her own ejaculation.
Live with Joy & Passion!

text: Home Industry Education Private schools in Dubai ready to open campuses in September No announcement regarding the reopening of school campuses has yet been issued by officials in the UAE by Varun Godinho June 4, 2020 Private schools operators have indicated that they are ready to reopen their campuses in September. However, there has been no official directive yet from the UAE government permitting schools to reopen their campuses. The summer vacations for public and private schools in the UAE that follow that Ministry of Education's curriculum will begin on July 2. Read: UAE summer school holidays and reopening dates announced Teachers in these schools will start their vacation from July 9. The new academic year for students will begin on August 30, while teachers will end their break a week earlier on August 23 During a virtual meeting on Thursday of the Education Business Group, which has members from over 100 private schools in Dubai, the school representatives expressed their willingness to reopen their campuses in September, according to local media reports. Those present on the virtual conference reportedly included Alan Williamson, CEO of Taaleem; Sir Christopher Stone, global CEO of GEMS Education; Ajay Mankani, director of Fortes; Amol Vaidya, director of Operations, Global Indian School; Poonam Bhojani, CEO of Innoventures Education; David Cook, headmaster at Repton School and Kalthoom Ali, executive committee member of the Education Business Group. "We are all committed to providing high-quality education, be in online distance learning or through blended learning," said Kalthoom Ali, according to Khaleej Times. Last month, education officials indicated that they envision three possible scenarios for resuming schools. The first scenario is the continuation of the Covid-19 pandemic, where e-learning will remain 100 per cent of the education process. The second scenario is a transitional phase after the virus has disappeared and the country makes a gradual recovery. Here, direct education will return at a rate ranging between 30-50 per cent. The third scenario meanwhile is planned in the event that life returns to normal and includes the incorporation of both direct and distance learning, but this will be done in proportion of 70 per cent direct education and 30 per cent e-learning so that 'technological development and the transition to digital education can be maintained. In May, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Dubai's education regulator, also confirmed that schools in the emirate are currently scheduled to reopen in September.

For most of the United States, this has been an unusually cold winter. There have been several mornings when it's been 7 degrees (that's Fahrenheit; Celsius equivalent is -14) when I've driven my daughter to school. Now, for those of you in Wisconsin, I know that's short sleeve weather [joke] but here in southeastern Pennsylvania, that is uncommonly cold. And a lot of people all over the country have seen temperatures that you usually don't. Now imagine it without mittens. Or even socks. And pick up those needles and start knitting frantically for our friends in Afghanistan!!
Although there isn't an official campaign at the moment, small things -- especially mittens and socks, but also hats -- are being collected steadily. In fact, Ann tells me they're packing on Wednesday. It's great to have things on hand when the opportunity to send them over comes up, because there isn't always time to organize a campaign.
In other news, Ravelry hosts an event that accompanies the Olympics. Many Ravelry groups participate, and our friends at Fans of Afghans for Afghans are involved. Renee -- a long-time member of this group as well -- sent us this information:
Ravelry hosts a crafting challenge along with each Olympics called The
Ravellenic Games. You can join Team Afghans for Afghans as they knit
mittens and socks for their campaign. Participants establish
projects on their Ravelry project pages tagged appropriately, but wait
to cast on until the opening ceremonies in Sochi, and to get their
Ravellenics "medal" they finish their project before the closing
ceremonies are over! It's a lot of fun and knitting together gives us
Stop by the Fans of Afghans for Afghans group where group moderator Renee Rico (aka rev knits) leads the team. This link takes you right to the Ravellenic information.
