Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.
Bertrand Russell
Life is a disease; and the only difference between one another is the stage of the disease at which he lives.

Life is pain. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
William Goldman
Life is very tough. If you don't laugh, it's tough.

Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. It's just how the world is.
Stephen King
Life isn't fair. It never will be. Quit trying to make it fair. You don't need it to be fair. Go make life unfair to your advantages.

Friedrich Nietzsche
When I hear somebody sigh that "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?".

Life is Risky
Assuming you haven't taken the risk of being bored to death, you have taken risks to make your life more exciting. Quotes about how life is risky, but the worst risk is to take no risks at all.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Denis Waitley
Life is made up of uncertainty. Each time we breathe out, we don't know if we'll breathe in again. Each time we risk stepping forward, we don't know what we'll encounter, but we can't just idle where we are. Despite all our efforts to picture the unfolding of events as managed, orderly, fixed, we don't know what will happen next.
Sharon Salzberg
Life is a gamble at terrible odds—if it was a bet, you wouldn't take it.
Tom Stoppard
Life is a game of whist. From unseen sources The cards are shuffled , and the hands are dealt . I do not like the way the cards are shuffled, But yet I like the game and want to play.
Eugene F. Ware
Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.
Muhammad Ali
Life is full of chances and changes and the most prosperous of men may … meet with great misfortunes.
Life is the risk we cannot refuse.
Mason Cooley
Then You Die
Last, of course, is death.
Life is a constant process of dying.
Arthur Schopenhauer
My life is like the summer rose, That opens to the morning sky, But ere the shades of evening close, Is scattered on the ground-to die.
Richard Henry Wilde
Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.
Yann Martel
Life is a flickering candle we all carry around. A gust of wind, a meaningless accident, a microsecond of carelessness, and it's out. Forever.
David Wong
Life is death we're lengthy at.
Emily Dickinson
Life is but a story told at one's funeral.
Charles Slamowitz
Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all.
William Goldman
Life is great, and without it, you'd be dead.
Karen Quan
Have a non-terrible day, a great day if you can.

Crystal Chilcott is a student at the University of Colorado- Colorado Springs and an ISA Featured Blogger. Crystal will be studying abroad with ISA in London, England.
The closer I get to my September 12 departure date, the more questions I have about my study abroad experience in London! Luckily there is a bevy of information out there thanks to ISA, friends who have traveled to London, and the all-powerful tool of Google!
1. What should I pack and what should I buy upon arrival?
It isn't until I start packing that I realize how much "stuff" I use on daily basis. So what should make the trip across the pond in my suitcase and what should I buy upon arrival? Queen Mary provides the option to pre-purchase a linen and towel package to pick up upon arrival. Instead of hauling sheets, a pillow, and towels, I pre-ordered the package. There are some items that will not be available or would be impossible to ship, like my prescription contacts or my preferred leave-in hair product that will be packed in my luggage.
2. What is the temperature and climate of my study abroad location?
The last time I went to London, I was remarkably unprepared for the cold temperature and rain. Since I had only brought sun dresses and a light jacket, I had to purchase a lot of clothing which was an unplanned expense! This time, I am packing for lots and lots of rain and packing a variety of clothing for all weather. Of course I also need an umbrella!
3. What sort of phone apps will assist me during my time abroad?
I have a hard time converting pounds to dollars, kilograms to pounds, and Fahrenheit to Celsius. To alleviate the need for math, I am searching for easy conversion apps to carry on my phone. I also downloaded apps like Viber, Skype, and Snapchat so I can keep in touch with friends and family at home without racking up a pricey international phone bill.
4. What should I wear (and not wear) to make myself fit in?
In celebration of my study abroad term, I got the Union Jack painted on my nails. A friend from England warned me not to wear them abroad as some people might make presumptions about my political affiliation. I also have a London themed suitcase and several London sweatshirts, none of which will be making the trip abroad.
5. What sights and activities do I really want to experience?
ISA gives students the opportunity to go on many excursions, but there is always more to explore! I started a Pinterest board a year ago to start keeping track of places I want to visit during my time abroad. A friend gave me a book called Secret London, which explores some of London's unusual sites, like a Victorian schoolhouse right near my campus! There is so much to explore in London and without research, I would probably miss out on some pretty interesting places!

Install VMware ESXI 7.0 on ODYSSEY X86J4105
VMware ESXi (formerly ESX) is a type-1 hypervisor developed by VMware for deploying and serving virtual computers. A hypervisor (or virtual machine monitor, VMM) is computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines. And there are two types of it.
The Type 1 hypervisor is referred to as the "bare-metal" hypervisor. This means that it runs directly on the physical hardware of the host machine — it doesn't have to load an underlying Operating System before that. Due to the fact that type 1 hypervisors have direct access to the underlying hardware (and no other Operating Systems and device drivers to content with) this type of hypervisor is considered to be the best performing and most efficient for enterprise computing.
Type 2 hypervisors are typically installed on an existing Operating System. This makes it a hosted hypervisor, seeing as it relies on the host machine's OS to undertake certain operations like managing calls to the CPU, managing network resources, managing memory and storage.
The difference between type-1 and type-2 hypervisors can be illustrated by the following picture. The main drawback of type-2 is that, once your host is down, all of your virtual machines will be down.
But type 1 hypervisors use hardware acceleration software and cannot function without the availability of this technology. That's why some of our customers asked whether our ODYSSEY X86J4105 supports VMware ESXI.
The answer is definitely yes. We used Celeron® J4105 processor from Intel® which is equipped with Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x). Thus, with a 4-core CPU and 8 GB memory, you can easily run 3 to 4 virtual machines directly on hardware with ESXI installed. Besides, there is a web console provided by ESXI which allows you to do remote control.
1. Download VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi ISO) image
2. Burn it into a USB drive.
3. Config BIOS settings on Odyssey (press DEL before OS booting). Set USB as boot option #1.
4. When you see this, the installation process starts working. Just follow the instruction.
5. After installation, you'll see this window. Click Enter to reboot.
6. After reboot, you should be seeing this which means your ESXI is installed successfully on Odyssey X86.
7. Now open a browser on any computer connected within the local area network, and visit the IP address. You should be able to get to the login page.
8. Log in with the account and password you set during installation process, you can now start creating virtual machines directly on hardware.

By Melpha M. Abello
The use of carabao manure as a lining material for water-harvesting structures can help minimize water loss due to percolation or the downward movement of water through the soil, a study by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) shows.
PhilRice observed that only 30 percent of the total water outflow from a small farm reservoir (SFR) is used for crop production; 45 percent is lost through seepage and percolation and 25 percent through evaporation.
In the Philippines, particularly in Central Luzon where majority of farms is devoted to rice production, studies have found that on-farm reservoirs are an economically viable means to store and conserve rainwater to alleviate drought and increase cropping intensity. With the usefulness of water-harvesting structures depending on the volume of water stored, minimizing losses during storage may eventually result in improved production and higher incomes for farmers.
In a drum experiment, the research team—composed of Armando Espino Jr., Marvin Cinense, Vivencio Manabat, Analinda Suril, Ermalyn de Guzman, Reynaldo Castro, and Nenita Desamero—found that the lining made from a mixture of carabao manure and clay had a percolation rate of 0.12 millimeters per hour (mm/hr), as compared to 0.78 mm/hr for linings made with the use of rice hay. Without any lining, the percolation rate was recorded at a rate of 65.43 mm/hr.
According to Espino, although another treatment using plastic lining resulted in the lowest percolation rate at 0.06 mm/hr, carabao manure and clay combination is seen to be cost-effective since carabao manure is readily available as a farm waste material.
"Carabao manure is cheap and requires only labor and transport costs for capital," Espino said, adding that at the same time, it can be used as organic fertilizer for crops.
On the field—which involved four ponds measuring 20 meters (m) x 10 m which were constructed at the Central Luzon State University (CLSU)—the bottoms of two ponds were overlain with 15-centimeter (cm) thick carabao manure, and the remaining two ponds were used as controls (untreated). Results showed that there were decreases in water levels of the control ponds at an average rate of 4.07 cm per day, while carabao manure-lined ponds had a lower average rate of decrease in water levels at 2.79 cm per day.
Espino said that farmers can easily adopt the technology as it is designed for smallholding farms, but can also be modified to suit larger areas. He recommends that after laying the 15 cm thick layer of carabao manure, this should be covered with a 10 cm layer of clay to prevent the manure from floating once water is stored.
The technology, which is something new to local farmers, will be promoted among farms that normally adopt SFRs, Espino said.
According to Dr. Reynaldo Castro, who leads the PhilRice-funded project on the development of appropriate water-harvesting systems for small farms, a cost-effective technology to minimize storage losses is very important in improving the storage efficiency of rainfed lowland farms, where water-harvesting structure systems exploit the Bernoulli effect in extracting the harvested water to economize on energy costs.
This appeared in Agriculture Monthly's February 2014.

Home Repairs near
The Texas Ramp Project builds wheelchair ramps for disabled or elderly people who can't afford to buy one. In a few hours on a Saturday morning, we give these folks the freedom to leave their home again - the home where they want to remain but whose steps have imprisoned them.
The Ramp Referral Process
If you are a social worker and/or healthcare professional -
Have a client who needs a ramp? You are in the right place. All you need to do is complete the online referral form to start the process.
Priority is given to clients from Hospice facilities, dialysis patients, and those who are living alone and are unable to exit their home. Those three priority classes have a "button" at the bottom of the referral form. If you feel your client needs priority and he/she does not fit any of these three categories, please indicate so (and why) in any of the free-form text boxes. A common example is an acute patient about to discharge from a medical facility to the home - e.g. auto accident amputee living in a mobile home, etc.
If you are someone who needs a ramp -
We cannot take your referral directly. We do not interact directly with potential clients. You will be MUCH better served if you ask your social worker or healthcare professional to make the referral to us, as he or she will already have a working relationship with us, and will already have established your physical and financial need.

The Warm Hearts, Warm Homes program is a locally-funded project that delivers a free space heater to older adults or veterans who have no safe source of heat inside their homes.
Thanks to the continued generosity and contributions from our fellow citizens - since 2009, the Warm Hearts program has been able to support over 100 homes, every year, across our 13-County service area.
To qualify, persons must be 60 years of age or older and a resident of one of the 13 counties in the AACOG Region. The recipient must also have no current, safe means of heating in their home, or the existing heating source is not working. A stove or oven is not considered a safe and adequate source of heating a home, as this regularly leads to numerous fires and casualties in our community.
For more information, or to request a heater, call the Alamo Service Connection at (210) 477-3275 (or toll free at 866-231-4922) or email for details.

The Weatherization Assistance program is designed to help low-income individuals overcome the high cost of energy through the installation of energy conservation measures. Although the program does not address major home repairs, it can help lower the amount of energy used in a home by enhancing the structure's thermal boundary, ultimately helping a home stay warm in the colder months and cold in the warmer months.
Qualification for weatherization assistance is a three-step process.
- The applicant's total household income must meet federal income eligibility requirements.
- The person completing the application must be a U.S. Citizen or show proof of eligible Resident Alien Status to receive federal benefits.
- The home must be structurally sound (no major roof repairs, plumbing leaks, foundation problems, faulty electrical wiring, or similar structural issues).
2022 Weatherization Assistance Program Application
Do you need financial assistance for overdue bills, repairs, or other critical family needs? If you are active duty, deployed, a veteran, or are a wounded, ill or injured service member or veteran with a service connected wound, illness or injury, and meet our criteria, you may be eligible for assistance from Operation Homefront's Critical Financial Assistance.
In partnership with the Texas Ramp Project, we build wheelchair ramps for disabled individuals who need ramps but cannot afford them.
Must have financial need and comply with restrictions on ramps.

The Missions Ministry allows First Baptist Church of Castroville to reach out to our community and help those in need so we can demonstrate the love of God as individuals and as a church. The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ met people's physical needs many times before he told them about the kingdom of God. His actions remind us that people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
We seek to assist those who are in need and/or are not physically capable of making repairs to their homes.
Over the years, FBC has established a relationship with churches in the community of Eagle Pass, Texas. Eagle Pass is located in Maverick County, one of the poorest counties in the U.S. Each year, we make a series of mission trips to Eagle Pass. Our largest mission trip, which includes work projects, VBS, and a sports camp is scheduled each June or July.
Our work crews build or repair homes for families residing in dangerous structures due to damage and disrepair.

Many people are divided about whether lizards in the backyard are a good or bad thing. However, while the jury is still out on that, you need to know that these lizards are quite common, and you might see them moving in your backyard quite frequently.
While they are relatively harmless creatures, most people have issues with lizards in their yard because of a variety of reasons. Lizards usually eat a variety of different things, such as tiny insects like ants and flies, as well as different kinds of fruits and vegetables.
The real problem arises when these lizards multiply, and start looking for different food sources. Not only will they ruin all your plants, but they can also affect the ecology of your backyard.
More importantly, there's a risk that these reptiles might find their way into your house, and nobody wants that to happen. So, before you start panicking, you should know that there are a bunch of proven methods to keep lizards out of your yard.
But, with so many different kinds of backyard lizards, it can be difficult to get a comprehensive idea about what they eat. Here is a brief guide to help you understand.
Size of the Animal
Most of the lizards are predatory by nature, which means that they rely on different kinds of insects in your yard. For instance, some lizards prefer eating ants, while others might look for bird nests and suck on the eggs.
Larger lizards, such as the Komodo dragon, which you are unlikely to find in your yard, usually look for larger prey. Therefore, the first thing that affects their diet is their size. A bigger lizard will obviously look for prey, because it needs to eat more to survive.
However, you are probably not going to see many large lizards crawling in your yard. Keep in mind that certain species, such as the Eastern Collared Lizard, are also likely to eat their younger species.
Spiders, beetles, and various other smaller insects are all fair game, and lizards hunt them quite frequently.
Many smaller species will easily forage for food in your backyard. But, the major issue with this is that these lizards will tamper with your plants, and are unlikely to kill plants such as fruits or vegetables.
If a bird has made its nest in your garden, it's also probable that the eggs might die outright. So, how do you get rid of these backyard lizards?
There are plenty of different ways to get rid of backyard lizards. Here are some of the most effective methods that you can use to get rid of these pesky reptiles.
Use a Lizard Repellent
If you don't know much about home remedies and simply don't want to bother with them, the best option available for you is to invest in a decent lizard repellent.
Lizard repellents are available from a number of private stores, and you can easily buy it from your local supermarket. It's either available as a spray, or as a small gel tube.
You just need to inject some of the gel and place it in different areas of the backyard. Ideally, you should choose a safe, cornered spot that's well hidden so that the gel has time to harden in place.
Over time, you will notice the lizard population declining rapidly in your backyard.
Coffee Method
Another quite effective method that can be used for getting rid of backyard lizards is the coffee method.
All you have to do is to buy a can of tobacco and mix it with coffee powder. Many people refer to them as the lizard killing balls. You just need to mix them as fine as possible and make tiny balls from the mixture.
These balls can be placed at different corners of the backyard, and you might even want to bury some under the surface. However, make sure that you do not bury the balls too deep under the surface, otherwise they are going to lose their effectiveness.
DIY Pepper Spray
If you want a more proactive method to get rid of the backyard lizards, you might want to create a pepper spray. It's important to note that lizards are allergic to pepper, and run from it.
If you create a pepper spray, it's going to be quite irritating for the lizards, and they are going to run away from your backyard as quickly as possible. All you need to do is to mix some crushed black pepper with water, and then put it in a spray bottle.
Because this is a completely organic solution, you don't have to worry about any kind of damage to your plants. If you know the hiding places of different lizards, spray the solution generously there.
However, it's best to cover all the plants and the bases around the backyard to ensure that the lizards stay away.
Tabasco Sauce Spray
Tabasco sauce is a mainstay in most kitchens, and if you open your refrigerator, you are probably going to find the thin red bottle there. Tabasco sauce, while an excellent addition to different foods, is also quite effective in turning away lizards.
Just as pepper annoys lizards, the smell of Tabasco sauce really causes problems for them. Just use a bit of Tabasco sauce and mix it in with water, and you are good to go. You can then spray the solution along the bottom of the fence, and near the plants as well.
It's best to target difficult to reach areas with the sharp sprayer, as that is probably where most lizards tend to hide.
Egg Shells
One of the simplest, yet most effective remedies, is the use of egg shells. Just place some empty egg shells in different areas of the backyard, and you will notice the lizards running away. There's an organism present within these egg shells that deters the lizards away.

text: I have never used such a knife of this kind. This Buck is quite unique in its shape and stability. After much rigorous use, I noticed some interesting things about this knife. I appreciate the one-piece solid blade. The handle is very graspable and fits the hand firmly and nicely. The grooved hand guards on this knife add protection and allow you to use greater force of the knife. The blade has three distinct uses. There is the bottom blade, which is made for all uses of cutting; the serrated blade towards the back is great for cutting harder material; and the top blade is great to use in conjunction with the bottom blade when cleaning or skinning an animal. I prefer this blade also because it is a straight blade, not a curved on. This blade gives a more even and uniform cut. The point on this blade really retains it sharpness after much use. I had yet to find a knife with these qualities, but this Buck truly will stand any test. And after a hard use, it is also very easy to clean. I strongly recommend this knife to anyone who needs a solid reliable knife. It retails for around $130, which is a little on the high end, but it is worth the expense. The all stainless steel blade will keep a good edge, and will not dull so quickly. If you have been looking for a knife that will keep up with you, then you should definitely consider this one.

Hi, I'm Jess Schwarz!
I'm a certified, bonded and insured pet care professional serving Suffield, Connecticut and the surrounding towns.
In 2015 I graduated from Becker College with a bachelor's degree in veterinary science and a minor in equine studies. In the same year, I passed the national examination to become a certified veterinary technician. Throughout my education, I had the opportunity to intern at small and large animal veterinary hospitals, a local zoo and several equine facilities (see my "resume" below for more info).
Ongoing education is something I value highly, so in 2020 I completed the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) certification course. I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR through ProPetHero and Rutgers Pet Care School. Most recently, I enrolled in the Fear Free Veterinary Certification Program in an effort to help reduce fear, anxiety and stress in the pets I care for.
I had the privilege of growing up surrounded by animals who taught me many valuable life lessons (like a cat who was practically a big brother and a stubborn Appendix Quarter horse named Hercules). My two dogs, Athena and Ares, remind me daily to love unconditionally, take time to relax and not take life so seriously. Reflecting on them has inspired me to serve the pets and humans of my community in the best way I can. Whether they have hooves, claws, paws, scales, feathers or fur, caring for your pet is my honor and passion.

Tamiya Grasshopper
SOLD: AU$325 on 6th June 2014
Scale: 1/10
Type: Kit
Year of release: 1984
Condition: NIB (New In Box)
This is a brand new in box, original Tamiya Grasshopper kit from 1984. Absolutely original, which means it contains all the early parts labeled "RCC The Grasshopper 1984", the vintage mechanical speed control, original decals branded with real sponsor logos, and other bits that you won't find in the reissued version.
This kit is complete, untouched since the 1980s. Ready for the collector who just wants to finally own this classic, or for someone who always wanted to build one – 1980s style!
The original box is in pretty good shape, with a bit of wear on one corner, and some discolouration consistent with being 30 years old. But it presents well and still has all the classic box art, unblemished.
Please see the photos to understand the condition. Feel free to contact me to find out more.
The Tamiya Grasshopper is one of the all-time classic R/C buggy kits from Tamiya. Powered by a 380 motor for longer running time while still offering entertaining speed, it was the second of Tamiya's "big three" animal themed R/C kit models from 1983/1984 (namely – The Frog, The Grasshopper, The Hornet). The shape and colours of the car were inspire by the real animal, and this concept combined with it's off-road versatility, captured imaginations around the world when it was released. The chassis is a simple, robust 2WD setup that is still copied to this day by some other companies. The Tamiya Grasshopper is now a legend in R/C history, and during the 1980s it offered many people their first taste of highly realistic 1/10 scale off-road driving and racing.

"When I started putting shows together, a lot of the bands in Cleveland had no contact with the punk bands in Akron," says C.W. DeGidio, frontman for vintage Cleveland punks the Chrome Kickers, who organized the fest. "I had a great opportunity, because here I am, from Akron, playing in a band in Cleveland. We do a lot of show-swapping now, and it's been nice to see the bands in both cities start to pull together.
"It's all punk rock, but it's everybody's version of punk rock," DeGidio says of Dirty Filthy's 12-band lineup. "I made sure every band on the bill carried its own little unique sound." The fest kicks off Friday with Cleveland dirtbags du jour Amps II Eleven, hot-and-bothered porno punks Femsickliver, Akron's hardcore stalwarts Don Austin, the Chrome Kickers, and others. Saturday highlights include Akron oi throwbacks Labor Force, melodic upstarts Waiting for Evangeline, and the Standing 69s, Cleveland's answer to Black Flag. It all goes down in Akron's gritty whiskey haunt Annabell's, a bar DeGidio says "totally reeks of rock and roll." Perfect.

The second season of Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story anthology series, The Assassination of Gianni Versace, explores the designer's brutal 1997 murder at the hands of serial killer Andrew Cunanan. Each week, we're taking a close look at what ACS: Versace handles with care versus when it deviates from documented fact and common perception. The intention here is less to debunk an explicitly dramatized version of true events than to help viewers piece together a holistic picture of the circumstances surrounding Versace's murder. In other words, these weekly digests are best considered supplements to each episode rather than counterarguments. Below are the results of our digging into the veracity and potency of events and characterizations presented in episode two, "Manhunt."
What They Got Right
The Normandy Plaza Hotel
Though Andrew Cunanan reportedly changed rooms more than once, ACS can be forgiven compressing time by jumping directly from his first accommodation to fateful room No. 322 with the ocean view. Otherwise, all the depressing details of his final lodging place check out, from the Mylanta-toned décor and decrepit hallways down to the lobby area's Marilyn Monroe portrait and Cunanan's affable rapport with manager Miriam Hernandez. The only minor discrepancies? The address shown on the building's façade in "Manhunt" reads 7436, when the actual listing for Normandy Plaza was 6979 Collins Avenue. Also, all real-life documentation of Cunanan's Kurt DeMars pseudonym spells on his passport with one "r," not two.
The FBI fliers
As in episode one, "Manhunt" harps on the fact that FBI agents inexplicably failed to distribute fliers warning that Cunanan was on the loose in the greater Miami area, let alone within the gay community. In a flashback to the days before Gianni's murder, G-men on hand even tell Miami PD that "fliers aren't a priority for us right now." Sadly, as the FBI file on Cunanan (see: page 158) illustrates, their position on that only changed in the hours after Versace had been brutally gunned down.
Donatella's feud with Antonio
Last year, Antonio spoke publicly about Donatella's supposed viciousness toward him, telling the Sun, "In public Donatella was crying on my shoulder and in private she was treating me like shit […] I felt she was doing everything she could to get rid of me from the business." Donatella, for her part, told the New York Times in 1999 that, "My relationship with Antonio is exactly as it was when Gianni was alive. I respected him as the boyfriend of my brother, but I never liked him as a person, so the relationship stayed the same." (Elton John, for whatever it's worth, had Antonio's back.) Their rift, underscored as it is in "Manhunt," appears to be one of the few things all parties involved can agree upon.
The Versace family's insecurities
Wall Street Journal writer Deborah Ball gained access to Donatella and brother Santo, among others, for her 2010 book, House of Versace. In it, she confirmed that there was a degree of jealousy and competition between the siblings, as "Manhunt" makes plain. Also, Gianni was definitely kept on his toes by then-upstarts like Alexander McQueen and John Galliano. However, if New York Times fashion critic Amy Spindler's review of all three designers' spring '97 runway looks is any indication, Gianni was far from done as a pioneering designer.
What They Took Liberties With
The duct tape scene
It's not entirely untrue that Cunanan wrapped an older, wealthy suitor's head in tape and dined on his tab. But Cunanan's real-life submissive was Lee Miglin, the Chicago businessman whom he killed roughly two months prior to murdering Versace. And he covered Miglin's face with masking tape, not the duct variety, and left breathing holes in his nose, as opposed to puncturing an oral opening. Also, per at least one account, pruning shears were among his weapons of choice while brutally slaying his victims. And while the show's portrayal of Andrew gorging on lobster and mic-dropping a champagne flute were dramatic flourishes, he capped off his far deadlier encounter with Miglin by making himself a ham sandwich.
The little girl in the parking lot
According to the voluminous FBI file on Cunanan, there's little doubt he swapped out license plates on his stolen red pickup truck at a Walmart parking lot in Florence, South Carolina, around the second week of May. (See: page 49 of said file.) This is not to be confused with widespread reports of an anonymous tip that Cunanan had been spotted at a North Carolina Walmart after killing Versace. (That lead was a dead-end.) Still, there's no evidence of a moment when Cunanan snags those S.C. plates while a terrified little girl stares blankly at him and he grins back like a murdery creep.
The date with Versace in San Francisco
Cunanan's claim to Ronnie about Versace having proposed to him at San Francisco's Stars restaurant is very much the kind of story he wanted people to believe. Except this particular fib is lifted from a similarly tall tale that Cunanan spun way back in 1990, one that was debunked by the San Francisco Gate two days after Versace's death.
The SWAT raid on Ronnie's room
Whether Ronnie referred to his Normandy Plaza bestie Cunanan as "Andy" is anyone's guess, but in fairness to American Crime Story, very little about their relationship is clear. For one, a Washington Post piece reported that Ronnie's girlfriend Fannie, not Ronnie, was occupying the room when SWAT teams burst in. But CNN's on-scene story counters that Ronnie was in fact the one stirred by their raid. The two outlets also differed on whether law enforcement found Ronnie and Fannie's room number on a pawn ticket or business card in Andrew's stolen pickup truck. Minor details aside, there's not much concrete evidence that Ronnie, as "Manhunt" implies, tacitly abetted Cunanan's getaway. He was, however, a former florist.
The night before the murder
In "Manhunt," Cunanan stops by popular Miami Beach gay dance club Twist, nearly crossing paths with Gianni and Antonio, who apparently spent their last night together in the same venue before departing and having an emotional conversation about marriage. In fact, Cunanan did hit the town late on July 14, but it was reported to police that he was seen at rival hotspot Liquid, where he stayed for hours. Also, an employee at Miami Subs was among the many who allegedly spotted Cunanan, according to the Washington Post, but he did not actually phone his sighting into the cops like his counterpart did in "Manhunt." To be fair, depicting a close call with the law is more dramatically taut than detectives interviewing a would-be witness days later.

Unilever announced on Tuesday that its Dove Body Wash will now come in bottles that contain at least 15 percent less plastic, thanks to a new packaging technology. Unilever says it will make the breakthrough process — which represents another step towards its goal to halve its waste footprint by 2020 — available for use throughout the industry.
The MuCell® Technology for Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM), created in close collaboration with two of Unilever's global packaging suppliers, ALPLA and MuCell Extrusion, represents a breakthrough in bottle technology: by using gas-injection to create gas bubbles in the middle layer of the bottle wall, it reduces the density of the bottle and the amount of plastic required, while maintaining 100 percent recyclability.
The new process will be deployed first in Europe across the Dove Body Wash range before rolling it out globally. Unilever says with up to 33 million Dove Body Wash bottles sold across Europe in 2013, the new technology could save up to 275 tons of plastic on the Continent per year; a full roll-out across every Unilever product and packaging format could save up to 27,000 tons of plastic.
"MuCell**®** Technology is an exciting innovation. Whilst consumers won't see any difference in the bottles, the impact on the environment will be very real," Mark Lindenfelzer, President of MuCell Extrusion LLC, said. "We're delighted to be part of this development and believe that it marks a real shift for manufacturers who want to behave responsibly."
Next-Gen Materials Creating More Sustainable and/or Regenerative Products
Join us as Geno, Modern Meadow, OurCarbon and Material Connexion explore a range of new materials that are promising to transform a variety of industries — Monday, October 16, at SB'23 San Diego.
Unilever will waive specific exclusivity rights by January 2015 so that other manufacturers can also utilize the technology.
"We're always on the search for new technologies that can help us achieve our ambition to build a more sustainable business and halve our environmental footprint, and working with our two partners, we've created a unique technology that will transform our portfolio," says Paul Howells, Vice President R&D Packaging at Unilever. "But there's only so much that Unilever can achieve on our own; and by opening up access to other manufacturers we will really start to see an impact. We very much hope that our peers in the industry will take advantage of this technology too and apply it to their products."
Unilever says its upcoming Sustainable Living Report 2013, due later this month, will confirm that its total footprint from packaging waste to landfill has decreased 11 percent as a result of efficient pack designs and the disposal of sauce brands with large waste footprints.
Unilever isn't the only CPG giant putting more thought into its packaging of late: In October, P&G unveiled a new process to mold plastic that it says creates up to 75 percent thinner packaging than the current industry standard and could save P&G $1 billion a year by using less plastic and different raw materials. The company says the process makes it easier to use recycled resins or plant-based alternatives to petrochemicals and will help make packages more recyclable. P&G says it plans to use the material for its own products and may also sell it to other marketers from non-competitive package-goods players to automotive giants.
And just last week, Colgate-Palmolive committed to making 100 percent of its packaging for three of its four product categories completely recyclable by 2020, and develop a recyclable toothpaste tube or package, which would bring its fourth product category close to the same sustainability standard.
