Gluten-Free Roller Coaster
It's been an interesting ride trying to figure out if Maddy is indeed allergic to gluten. At first, Tad thought he had the allergy so he cut gluten out of his diet for a couple of months. When he finally "cheated" and had some donut holes (you would think would be a horrible gluten choice), he was fine. So he eventually added gluten back into his diet and seems to be fine.
Maddy on the other hand, poor baby, has been very sick on and off. When we thought Tad had the gluten allergy, we then thought that Maddy might have it too since she has always had a sensitive stomach. So, on and off we have taken gluten out of her diet and then added it back in. But over the last 2 months or so, she has been very sick on and off, and it doesn't seem like they were cases of the flu. Each time, she will throw up and have diarrhea at the same time, and once she seems to have everything out of her system, she is fine and doesn't have other symptoms of being sick. She would do that, be fine for a few days, do it again, be fine, etc. Over the past few months we go back and forth between thinking she has the allergy or is just sick, or can handle a little bit of wheat. We are not sure. Again, her blood test for the allergy came back negative.
About 2 weeks ago, we were out most of the weekend and just let Maddy eat what she wanted. Bad choice. She was so sick after that gluten-filled weekend. It took about 3-4 days of being sick, and she looked pale, layed around, and didn't want to eat. Now that could have been more "symptoms" and maybe she really was sick, but I don't think so. Her stomach was hurting so bad for days. And she had a lot of wheat in that weekend.
Another thing I have noticed lately is that she has a lot of congestion. Every time she sneezes, she is cupping her nose and running to the bathroom because strings of snot come out her nose. That seems odd to me. But even though it's been a week and a half since she has had wheat, that is still happening. But her stomach seems better.
So, that's where we are at. Not exactly sure what is going on with her. But she seems better/totally fine when she isn't eating any wheat. So should we continue with more blood tests? Just completely keep her off of wheat? (which isn't the easiest thing to do, so I kind of want to be sure she has the allergy. That is why I have gone back and forth between giving it to her and not...) The doctor also suggested doing a food diary, a poop diary (exciting, huh?), or that they could test her poop. For now, we are just keeping her on a gluten-free diet because she seems fine when we do that!

Classical Conversations Cycle 1 Week 15
I am so sad I had to miss this week! I had pretty much everything ready and prepped and I was planning on going to CC. My oldest, Maddy, who is 6, hadn't been feeling good all day, but when you are a tutor, it's kind of hard to miss since you have so much material that is prepped, and you've learned it all week. My younger two were battling colds, but I was really thinking we could make it. Well, Monday night, Maddy started her usual diarrhea and vomiting which has become somewhat routine for the past 2 or 3 months. I knew then that I couldn't even go and teach and have her lay down in the back. We think she has a gluten allergy even though her blood test came up negative for it. We have gone back and forth on the issue, sometimes thinking she is okay with it, and then changing our minds when she is so sick, but it doesn't seem to be the flu.
So anyways, I called one of my faithful parents who is there every week, usually with her husband, since she was the most familiar with how I teach. She willingly accepted, and I'm just glad I had everything laid out for her so hopefully it wasn't too difficult! So, here's what she did this week!
Week 15
Timeline: learned new hand motions and practiced with the Timeline song
History Sentence: did hand motions and sang the song with the motions (on the subject cd)
Latin: played duck, duck goose. The "ducker," as they patted each child on the head, would say each Latin sound for each child, and when the got to the end, the child they patted last had to say "singular, first declension" and then would get to run and become the new ducker. I wish I could have been there for this one! I will have to use it again!
Geography: used plastic fish/dinosaur to find new geography, traced/colored with dry erase marker, reviewed old geography, glued stamp in passport for the week (I just print off passport stamps from google images and try to get them to coincide with the location for the week we are learning)
Math: (metric measurements), printed off worksheets from CC connected, reviewed by having them put a finger on each thing as we said it.
Science: went over the worksheet for mountains on each continent, put the kids in pairs with a ball and for the first pair, the first child would say "everest" and throw the ball to the second child who would say "in Asia" several times so the two go together in your head, and so forth.
English: has, have had: (we did this last week and the kids loved it), we just said them over and over as a class faster and faster until I put my one finger over my mouth and the kids would too and would have to stop saying them, I was trying to "catch" any of them still saying them.
Grammar Review: They sat in a circle and threw the ball to each other to music, when the music stopped the person with the ball had to choose a CC question out of the bag and answer the question.
At the end we do stickers on their reward charts (and whoever I just couldn't get to pay attention or obey doesn't get a sticker. I have had to take stickers away on occasion, but it's good incentive because if they miss a sticker, they don't get to pick out of the treasure box, which we do every other week.) Then we do cleanup chores and sitting with backpacks in their chairs. If we have extra time, sometimes we will read a book at the end or play a game. Or review presidents.

The Art of Losing Things
|Just so you know, this is not a picture from my house!!
If Tad and I got paid for losing things, we would be rich by now. We specialize in losing things in deep, dark places, or even random places, or even obvious places and we should remember where they are! It is just amazing to me how fast things disappear into the oblivion around here.
Just yesterday we lost something important and spent a good deal of time looking for it. We looked through boxes, through piles of papers, in the garage, in purses, etc. and I happened upon it this morning with my sleepy eyes that weren't fully awake yet. It was on top of the microwave. Duh!
We usually have certain "spots" for important things, to make it less easy to lose them. But man oh man, if we don't put them in those spots, it seems impossible to find them. We just forget. I just forget, where I put them when I'm cleaning. I'm the master cleaner/hider of all things important. When I get going, especially if someone is coming over, I just grab piles of things and either put them away, or if there's no time, I just shove them places. Sometimes it seems like they do disappear; like pacifiers for instance. We had bought Judah so many pacifiers and lost them and bought them. I feel like I should be finding them in random places, but alas. Who knows what happened to them. (And by the way, we just finally weened him off of them! Well, I will give all the credit to Tad, because I was still hanging onto his obsession with them!)
So, judge all you want. Call us messy, unorganized, cluttered, forgetful, or irresponsible. But I just had to brag. Because I am a pro at losing stuff!
What bad habit are you a pro at?? Go ahead, brag in the comments section!!

Greek Chicken Pasta
Man, it's been awhile since I posted a recipe on this here blog! I have been out of the blogging world for awhile just being busy with family, holidays, school, and life with 3 kiddos! But, you all know my big passion for food. Cooking food, eating food, making recipe lists, coming up with new menu plans and menus for entertaining. Watching cooking shows and The Food Network and of course, The Pioneer Woman. And if you didn't know this already, she has her own show on the Food Network now. And her second season just started. Yay for her!
So, I will give you this recipe for some yummy Greek Chicken Pasta. Tad and I love anything Greek. Or feta cheese. Or artichokes. Yum! I will say, I added the marinade for the artichoke harts into the pasta as recommended by many other reviews, but I don't know if I would do that again. I don't know if it needed that much acidity. And it was a good recipe, though it seems like it needed something else to give it a kick, and I haven't figured out what that is yet. But for a quick, easy, weeknight meal, try this recipe!!
Greek Chicken Pasta
1 pound uncooked pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (14 oz) can marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
2 lemon wedges, for garnish
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion and saute for about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken. Cook, stirring until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 to 6 minutes.
3. Bring the heat down to medium-low, and add the artichoke hearts, tomato, feta cheese, parsley, lemon juice, oregano, and cooked pasta. Stir until heated through, season with salt and pepper, serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
Again, some reviews said they added the marinade from the artichoke hearts; that is totally up to you! If you do that, you might want to eliminate the lemon juice, but maybe just taste it and see how you like it! Enjoy!!

Sleepy, Grumpy Mommy
I think when you become a parent you truly begin to realize the value of sleep. Oh, in college you get a taste of the sleepless nights. But you can always make up for it the next night, or that weekend, and it doesn't go on for weeks and months at a time. When I had Maddy (my first), I lost sleep for sure. But it wasn't too bad. The rule is "when they are sleeping, you should be sleeping." But that rule really only applies when you have one child, right? You can't just take a nap on the couch when you have other ones awake and playing. And the more kids you have, the more chances you have of being woken up at night.
Maddy is a pretty good sleeper now. She used to have night terrors until she was about 3 or 4, but now she is old enough that she doesn't get them and she doesn't really wake up at night. She just wakes up super early in the morning. And she has always been an early riser. But ever since she was about 3 or 4, she could come out of her room at 6 or 7 and turn on the tv and color. So that helped me get a little more sleep once I knew I could trust her to come out at a certain time.
Judah has always been a really good sleeper. He takes long naps and for the most part, has slept in. But lately he has been getting up early in the morning, and sometimes getting up at night since he is in a toddler bed and he can. We recently took away his pacifier, so that helps that he isn't waking me up to find it in his bed, which he did frequently.
Ruth is a pretty good sleeper. She has her different streaks, and they depend on teething, sickness, or if she is well and happy, she sleeps pretty good and wakes up one to two times at night to nurse, and takes one to two naps during the day, depending on when she wakes up. She actually sleeps until around 9 most days, so that is a nice time for me to have in the morning before she gets up.
I was having a hard time when Ruth was teething and sick and waking up in the middle of the night and staying up for awhile, sometimes 2 plus hours at a time. During that time, Judah would wake up and need put back to sleep. And then Judah or Ruth would wake up around 6 in the morning. I was so tired, that when Maddy and Judah were up that early, and Ruth was still sleeping, I would get them breakfast and put them in front of the TV with their little table and try to sleep on the couch. I was desperate for sleep. And grumpy. And didn't feel like starting my day that early. I didn't have enough energy to get everything done that I needed to. I felt like a failure as a mom because I have so much on my plate but I did not have the energy to accomplish stuff, especially stuff in the morning before school. I would just lay on the couch until 8 or 830 since Ruth was still sleeping, and it felt disgusting! Depression was starting to set in, and I couldn't handle my emotions or anything around me.
I do feel like I'm starting to come out of it. The kids have been sleeping better at night; I just have to plan on them getting up at or around 6. Which means I need to go to bed earlier. I am not good at this, but I have been so exhausted that it has been more motivating to go to bed earlier. I feel a little bit fresher, a little bit more alive, and a little bit more like I can handle my emotions. This is the start of a new week, and a new plan. I am cutting out sugar, wheat (as much as I can), sugary drinks, eating after 7, and will begin working out 6 days this week. I plan on being up in the morning with the kids and not sleeping on the couch. I don't want to go to bed late, and I need to get more done this week, including drinking more water, taking vitamins, eating healthier and getting out of my pajamas every morning and into normal clothes! I just had a big "binge" weekend of eating at different events, and I'm ready to shed those pounds, and choose things to help me feel better all around. I'm hoping that the extra water, healthy food, exercise, sleep, and good choices will help me feel better.
So, here's to a new week. Being a stay at home mom and a homeschooling mom at that, isn't always easy. There are good days and bad days. Days where you get a lot done and feel like you accomplished much. And then there are days when it seems like you are just trying to survive and make it to the end of the day with kids who are fed, dressed, and happy. It's all part of the process, and God is there with us through both kinds of days. Here's to a better week!

Classical Conversations - Week 14
Well, we are just cruising through the second semester! We had such a good week for week 14! I had a dad who came and really helped to keep some of my more rambunctious kids focused! That always helps a tutor out! There is so much material to get through each week and the parents can be such a big help with keeping the kids paying attention so the tutor can focus on presenting the material and helping the kids play games to memorize their week's material! Yay for parent involvement! I will have to say, at first I was nervous about having to teach in front of parents, but now I see the value of having parents in the room and helping with things (especially with my baby who has had to be in there a lot!). I am so grateful for the parents I have had this year!
My class seemed a little more subdued this week and less hyper so they participated better in class! We had some fun games and it seemed like the kids were really learning their stuff! And everyone got a sticker on their reward chart and got to pick out of the treasure box this week!
So, let me share what we did this week!
Week 14
Timeline: learned new motions and sang the Timeline song
History Sentence: learned hand motions and sang with the song
Geography: plastic fish/dinosaurs to find new geography on big maps, tracing with dry erase marker, gluing stamps to their passports
Latin: played Marco Polo again since the kids enjoyed it so much last week; one kid is blindfolded and says "nominative" while 2 other kids "hide" in the room and echo "subject" while the first kid tries to find them (and of course I help the blindfolded one so they don't run into things!)
English: first three helping verbs (do, does, did). Said it faster and faster and then I would put my finger over my mouth (which is what we do to get quiet) and the kids all would do it really fast. We would say do, does, did faster and faster again and then I would try to "catch" kids by putting my finger over my mouth and seeing if anyone kept saying them. They loved this!
Science: 3 kinds of rocks, used a book, explained what they were and had them repeat after me several times
Math: Linear Equivalents, handed out a worksheet from CC connected, brought in a ruler for a reference point, said the equivalents and had them repeat, also used my foot as a reference point (just to help them remember it)
When we had some extra time, I had the kids in two teams and when I said "go" each team had to put timeline cards in order (one team had last week's cards, one team had this week's cards) and the first team to do that had to run and hit the bell.
Grammar Review: The kids were in two teams sitting on opposite sides of the room with a bell on a chair in the middle. Each team would have one kid's turn at a time, and I would ask the question and they had to run and ring the bell first to answer the question. If they rang the bell and didn't answer correctly, the other team had a chance to answer for 2 points instead of one. I was trying to prevent this young age from just running the fastest to ring the bell but not really knowing the answer. It was fun and got their energy out, and they also didn't seem bored like with other review games.
So, that was our week 14! And as always, leave comments if you have questions, suggestions, or anything else on your mind!!

Classical Conversations Week 13
Well, it has certainly been busy around here and I didn't even get around to doing a blog post about week 12! I can't even remember that far back so I think we will just skip that one and get right to week 13, shall we?
It was so nice to have those 2 months off from CC, as we needed to breath a little, celebrate the holidays, and just rest with family. After all the celebrating was done, of course!! But now, we are back to the grind again, and we are on the way towards the finish line! We are now more than halfway done!
This past week was kind of a crazy week. The kids were all pumped up about being back. I know Maddy was so excited and couldn't wait to go back. This created some craziness in the classroom, but hopefully they had fun while learning the concepts from week 13! And each week, there are highs and lows, things that worked and things that didn't, and with this being my first year, it is all a learning process for me. This week I learned that games that are individual (meaning that each child has their own turn, and they go in order) do not really work. The kids get bored waiting for their turn, and when my attention is on the person whose turn it is, it is hard to keep the others paying attention and waiting for their turn. I get that. And I definitely learned that after this week's review game. So when you get to that part, remember my mistake! If I had some older kids it might have gone better, but for the young ones, it is hard to keep them still and quiet waiting for their turn!
So this is what we did this week:
Timeline: went over new motions, sang the Timeline song on the cd
History Sentence: did hand motions to go along with the song on the cd
Latin: played "Marco Polo" with the noun cases, one person was blindfolded and would say, "Nominative" while two others hid somewhere (easily accessible) and would say "Subject" and I would lead the blindfolded one until they found them, and so on.
Geography: used plastic car or dinosaur to find Western Africa, traced new geography, glued a stamp in their passports
English: Hands on knees and kind of bounced while saying "A Helping verb helps another verb assert action (made an action pose), being (both hands out, face up), or existence (stand pencil straight.)
Math: Liquid Equivalents: Printed out a sheet for each child with the info on it, and brought in examples of a cup, a pint, a quart, and a gallon.
Science: Used a printed sheet showing the 6 parts of the earth to be memorized, said and repeated them. Tried to get them to memorize core, mantle, and crust together, and then hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere and explained what those meant.
Science Experiment: Just used what was provided for the experiment.
Fine Arts: Giotto, printed off some of his artwork from CC connected.
Presentations: Impromptu. I made up different subjects so I could hear about everyone's Christmas break, but the kids all pretty much wanted to talk about their favorite present that they got, so I let them!
Grammar Review:
Brought in huge hopscotch squares and let each child roll the dice. Each number represented a subject (except Timeline, since we kind of review that when we sing the song), and after they answered the question they just did the hopscotch. It wasn't my best grammar review game by any means!!
Hope this helps you for Week 13!!

I watched this on NASA TV last night. NASA messed up and didn't cut the feed before this got out.It was amazing to watch, the picture was much more clear than what you have here, although this is great! I was thinking it looked more like one craft revealing it'sself slowly. At one point, a long white thing protruded towards the bottom of the screen which would be away from the Earth, very strange. Thanks for posting this, I was hoping somebody got it! Rate this posting:

Some of my posts, of late, have elicited shock and horror from people, who probably think I am a fellow traveler. The post on inequality is the most obvious example. As I mentioned at the start of that post, people outside the Progressive fever swamps have been trained for generations to run screaming from the room whenever the topic of inequality is raised. After all, that is what commies talk about and being conservative has always meant not being a commie.
The interesting bit from my perspective is the assumption that when it comes to inequality, there can only be two positions. One is the Randian view that the high achievers should get everything and the low achievers should die. Concerns about merit and social comity are for losers. The other view is that a dictatorship of the proletariat should rise up and murder the rich and turn the country into a version of Harrison Bergeron. In other words, equality is a stalking horse for communism.
In my post, I offered no policy proposals. I just pointed out that concentrations of wealth are lethal to self-government and social stability. That is the lesson of history. The New Right or whatever we are calling it these days, should be willing to discuss this reality. Otherwise, you cede the field to retrograde loons, who simultaneously demand higher wages and the importation of cheap helot labor from cultures antithetical to Western values. In other words, the game has changed.
You see it in the recent election in Hitler Land. The loser is described as "far extreme right" while the winner is described as a lovable teddy bear. OK, I made up that last part, but that is not the point. The "right" in this case is simply the guy who wants to keep Austria an on-going concern as a separate country. His economic and social positions are irrelevant. What brought him and his party to prominence was opposition to immigration and globalism.
Similarly, his opponent is best known for wanting to liquidate the country's borders and dissolving it into the amorphous blob that is Europe. Alexander Van der Bellen was the head of the Green Party for a long time and once said, "Anyone who loves Austria must be shit." His positions on economics and other matters are a muddle, but no one really cares. He is not a Nazi and he is a globalist. That is all that matters and it is the reason he was able to squeak out a victory.
In America, the old Left-Right paradigm no longer makes any sense. The Buckley Conservatives have no meaningful proposals to roll back the welfare state. The Left has no plans to level the playing field by seizing the wealth of the rich and distributing it to the poor. Both sides wave their hands around for old times sake, but they are both open-borders globalists, funded by the buccaneer class of donors.
Calling Ted Cruz a right-winger, for example, misses the point. Sure, he would like to tinker with the tax code in a slightly different way than Hillary Clinton and he has slightly different views on how to bomb the muzzies, but on the defining issues of our age, they are pretty much in agreement. Both the Buckley Right and the Left embrace globalism, open borders and the ceding of popular sovereignty to un-elected international bodies controlled by global corporations.
The New Right that is emerging is not defined by tax policy, endless yapping about the constitution or its principled losing. It is a cultural movement, first and foremost. The technocratic managerialism that defines the Modern Left and Buckley Conservatives is not a part of the New Right. Instead, it is opposition to open borders and globalism based on citizenism. Being a citizen is not just location. It is language, customs and historical perspective.
The striking difference between my view on equality, for example, and some of my critics is that I place great value on social stability. I am willing to use the power of the state, if necessary, to prevent global buccaneers from destroying national culture. Libertarians and Buckley Conservatives faint when hearing those words because they place theoretical limits on government, and their symbolic loyalty to those limits, above all else.
There is the great new dividing line in politics. One side is concerned solely with stability and comity at the top. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times argue endlessly about how best to organize global governance, because that is what matters to them. They are not just indifferent to what happens in your neighborhood. They see such concern as a fault, a mental defect that should exclude you from the halls of power. As far as they are concerned, you are no more important than the Malaysian sweatshop worker. You are just an economic unit.
On the other side of the dividing line are the localists, the people who focus their attention on their neighborhood, their town, their city and their country. The Super Duper Global Trade Pact may be great for Mega Corp, but if it means all the jobs in your town get shipped to Malaysia, then it is not good for you. Cheap stuff at Walmart is not much good to a man without a job. Generous welfare benefits are not much good when everyone spends it on liquor and meth.
That is the new line in politics. Are you concerned about what you see out of your window or are you concerned about what you see through your telescope. Hillary Clinton thinks of the US government as the local interface of the emerging global state. It is one facet of the managerial class. You, as a "citizen" have no control of it, you interact with it like an ATM machine. That is exactly the way they see national governments. They are just nodes on the network. All of the company approved GOP options held the same views until Trump came calling.
Left and Right are dead. It is globalist versus localist and everyone is going to have to pick sides, even the libertarians for a change. The #nevertrump loons are picking sides, even if they do not fully understand it. They are the toadies and rumpswabs that are in the baggage train of every ruling elite. They are the folks who rush into the street to greet the invaders. They do not understand any of this, but they are men who believe in nothing but self-preservation so it really does not matter. Everyone else will pick sides, based on their perceived self-interest.

Hi there, my name is Tsehay Canning pronounced Sahi, which has always caused some confusion, but it means "Sunshine" and that's what I hope to bring to your day.
I am married to the man of my dreams, we reside in the widely diverse city of Toronto with our son Keo and occasionally our older son, my step-son Cole. We are adding a new addition to our growing family as of September 2021, we couldn't be more thrilled.
Behind Collexion Plate comes inspiration from the three things that put a little hop in my step. Faith, Family, and Fashion. Collexionplate came about to be when my husband one day decided to ask me a question about what it is that I want to do as I was at a point in my life where I was searching, questioning, and trying to find my passion. I've always loved fashion, so I decided to slowly but surely find my way into that world. I started working in retail at 16, slowly building my way up to becoming an assistant manager, product specialist and eventually working within high end retail running a department of personal shopping and studio services.
That's when I decided what better way than to create a community of women that can inspire, share and encourage one another to find women that still want to work on their passions but also be family-oriented. In comes Collexionplate (collection plate) a collection of things that truly inspire and ignite my passions, it isn't one particular thing but a few different things. A collection of things that make me who I am, that fuel my growth, simply " a collection of all things good"
I'm so so happy you have joined me here today, I hope you leave this page feeling a little more inspired. Find me on Instagram and let us connect.

Model: Matchbox MB727 Bentley Continental GT
Release: 2007 MB1
eBay link: Matchbox Bentley Continental GT
Why it is in the collection: because Matchbox finally managed to get a Bentley done
For many years I have often wondered why Matchbox never had a model of a Bentley in the basic range. Especially once it became known that Rolls-Royce were no longer playing ball. I often used to think maybe it was purely Bentley was seen as a poorer Rolls-Royce during my time growing up. I know officially Vickers, who used to own both, was trying to market Bentley as a more sportier version of a Rolls-Royce, but as a kid growing up in the 1980s I did not see that. A Rolls-Royce was just a Bentley with a different grille and a flying lady on the top of it. But after selling to the VW Group in 1998 they really started to make their own mark with the 2 brands again. the Continental GT was proof of that. It was the first vehicle released under the VW ownership in 2003. It was a huge success, and really put Bentley firmly on the map.
In 2006 Matchbox announced that a continental GT was going to be added to the 2007 basic range and I have to admit, I was really happy. Finally, a Bentley in miniature. MB727 arrived in October 2007 as a part of batch K taking the coveted MB1 slot in the range.
It arrived in silver with a reddish brown interior. It looked amazing. That interior almost looked like it was made of leather.
The detailing to the front was incredible.
As was the rear. The story goes that it took the Matchbox team numerous attempts to get the model right. Bentley were waiting for perfection, and Matchbox delivered. Was it worth the wait? I think so.
The model ran until 2019 although a final MB99 was dropped at the last minute. I thought that perhaps there was an issue with Bentley. But with the MB1235 Bentley Bentayga arriving in the 2021 basic range in batch B obviously there was not an issue as such. Perhaps just they wanted a current vehicle instead. As I said, Bentley wants perfection. Whether it be in miniature or in real life. Let's face it, this was the first generation Continental GT and Bentley are now selling a third generation. It has done us proud over the years with some very nice releases. I do believe it will not be seen again, with the Bentayga being the only Bentley for now. But I could be wrong. Don't take my word as gospel.
Although I have to say, I would not be opposed to seeing a classic Bentley in the future too. A 1962 Bentley S3 would be my choice. It stands out, much like the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud did, plus it sported dual headlamps on the front, which I think is cooler than the S1/S2 single headlamps. I don't know if I am the only one who would love to see a classic Bentley in the line-up alongside the new Bentayga.

MIT developed a system to track sleeping positions using radio waves
A non-invasive way to monitor sleeping postureBy Shawn Knight
In brief: Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a novel way to monitor someone's sleep posture without disrupting them, or even physically interacting with them at all.
The non-invasive approach uses radio waves, rather than physical sensors or cameras, to study a person's sleep posture. A device mounted in the room sends our radio signals and measures how they bounce off objects, including humans.
Researchers feed the data to a custom neural network that is able to determine how a sleeper's body is positioned. It's accurate enough to differentiate between similar positions, such as if a user is lying on their right side versus simply being tilted slightly to the right.
To discern between reflections coming from a human versus those from static objects like a mattress or a dresser, and to help determine exact positioning, the researchers focused on breathing. They used the rising and falling of a person's chest and belly during breathing as a marker to "tag" body reflections.
Shichao Yue, one of the researchers involved in the project, said that since the system only records essential information for detecting sleep posture, "it is nearly impossible for someone to infer other activities of the user from this data."
Yue and colleagues are scheduled to show off the system during a presentation at the UbiComp 2020 conference on September 15.

Alex Rodriguez to the DL, James Pazos to the Bullpen
The New York Yankees have lost their every day DH Alex Rodriguez to the 15-day disabled list after Rodriguez tweaked his hamstring in last night's loss to the Orioles. Rodriguez will miss an undisclosed amount of time with the injury and the injury could not have come at a worse time. Alex was finally starting to work out of an early season slump and was finally hitting for power at the time of the injury.
The Yankees used the 25 man roster spot to call up left-handed relief pitcher James Pazos. I'm pretty confused why the Yankees wouldn't call up a position player, especially with all the off days recently keeping the pitching fresh, but they know more than I do.

BT is in talks with computing giant HP to sell its 24 British data centres for a £1.5 billion sum.
The deal, which is expected to be signed in the next few weeks, comes ahead of BT's preliminary results on Thursday, and will strengthen the already strong ties between the two firms thanks to a four-year old alliance.
The 24 data centres store reams of information for corporate customers, and BT admitted that HP was better equipped to deal with the increasing demand being placed upon them.
BT intends to improve the profitability of its global services division with the huge contract, as it focuses the division on simplifying corporate networks
The telecommunications firm will transfer 400 staff over to HP, and will take over the management of its voice and data networks globally. Insiders denied claims that the move was evidence that the two firms are inching towards a corporate merger.
It will however help maintain the partnership which has served the two firms well in the past through the acquisition of several key joint contracts.

Tokyo stocks remained under selling pressure Thursday amid caution ahead of U.S. nonfarm jobs data due out Friday, sending the Nikkei index lower for the fourth straight session.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average closed down 105.31 points, or 0.76 percent, from Wednesday at 13,694.04. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange shed 5.09 points, or 0.44 percent, to 1,153.28.
Decliners were led by steelmakers, papermakers and consumer finance companies while gainers included utilities, airlines and pharmaceutical shares.
The Nikkei moved narrowly in the morning but later accelerated its downswing, dipping more than 160 points at one stage as investors sought to lock in gains amid concerns over the U.S. and Chinese economic outlooks and ahead of Japanese holidays from Friday to Monday, brokers said.

I am with you Apeiron, You can buy one hectare of Land in Ibadan and Ogbomoso for 65k – 70k (for farming only).
So having that amount of money, you can build a whole lot land and get more value from your money and investment. This gadget ain't just worth buying as far as am concerned, depending on your preference choices though. But Funny Enough, Aliko Dangote don't use this kind of gadgets. The last time he came to Ogbomoso for a Wedding, I saw him seating at the high table and he was using the old version blackberry. I think, Nigerian Youths need to just give this kind of decisions a second thought.
I know the story is quiet different for Celebrities.

Well, If its in Naira now, it becomes easy to come by, but now that you gave the figure in DOLLARS, that makes it a whole lot more complex. I would have reckon folks like Linda Ikeji to be a Billionaires in Naira, but the Dollar disqualify them. The truth is using Facebook as a case study, Nigerians don't target the Global MARKET. We often times look too within and too local. So, until that continental barrier is Broken in the Business world, the financial exploits and buoyancy that people in Business can explore in Nigeria remains restricted.
Facebook is not only in Nigeria, I am even looking for Nigerian sites that writes and publish contents for general globe and not just Nigerian audience alone. All this are so important this days and time.
Well, Mr Darlinton Could be the first Nigerian Youngest Billionaire in Dollars, perhaps if he invest into Crypto-currency, or buy shares in Big Digital Companies, or what else?

Nothing makes Good Business turns bad like refusing to spend money on quality, i still advise a beginner to go for commercial feeds, because you can not trust a feed formula from a public domain to guarantee success in the production of your layer Poultry Business.
Often Times, I do increase their protein, fat and Iron ingredient, which gives awesome performance in laying of Egg, but for a starter, I strongly recommend a commercial feed from a well-to-do feed mill.
Or if you really wanna make your own feed, then consult an expert in the field to give you a reliable feed formula.

I remembered, some people mocked them, saying with over 80 Developers, they still couldn't meet up with technological standard.
So you can see, that they have such a huge collection of developers putting things together. One man or one company can not make such thing like this work. It as to be the work of a team.

As Said, The S&P500 Grind Higher Goes On
Yesterday's sizable bullish gap immediately came under attack by the sellers – no panicking though as I kept riding the bull to the glorious close and beyond. In such moments, it's key to focus on what has changed, and what has not. The obvious conclusion has been that we have seen nothing really new under the sun.
So, will the sizable open profits keep growing further? In my humble opinion, it's virtually guaranteed.
S&P 500 in the Short-Run
Let's start with the daily chart perspective (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com ):
The bears went on the offensive right after the bullish open, but the bulls responded as anticipated, and the high daily volume reveals the extent of the buying pressure. Yes, the initiative appears to be firmly with the bulls, but why exactly have I said that the buyers responded as anticipated?
Yesterday's intraday Stock Trading Alert provides the answer:
(…) However unpleasant it might be to see the bullish opening gap closed, the key point to highlight is that the high yield corporate bonds (HYG ETF) hasn't really declined below yesterday's closing prices.
Such a move has been rejected, and the ETF now trades at $82 - and I expect stocks to at least timidly follow up higher later today, and more vigorously over the coming sessions.
What we have seen right after the open, was probably a US-China tensions driven onset of selling pressure - an event of fleeting nature as the ensuing price action showed.
And stocks caught up still yesterday, reversing powerfully higher. To illustrate the extent of the bullish turn, let's check the market breadth indicators.
It hasn't been only the advance-decline volume that just flipped profoundly bullish. The advance-decline line has been showing where the odds in the battle to overcome the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement and other resistances lie – with the bulls. The bullish percent index is also solidly back supporting the buyers these days.
Let's check yesterday's action in the credit markets next.
The Credit Markets' Point of View
High yield corporate bonds (HYG ETF) stood the ground and refused to move below yesterday's closing prices. The uptrend in junk corporate bonds goes on, supporting higher stock prices. While a consolidation of recent sharp gains wouldn't come as a surprise, we could have seen one yesterday already. And even if not, this leading metric of credit market health is still primed to go higher and serve as a tailwind for stocks over the coming days and weeks.
The above chart shows that both key credit market ratios, the high yield corporate bonds to short-term Treasuries (HYG:SHY) and the investment grade corporate bonds to longer-dated Treasuries (LQD:IEI), confirm each other's upswings. Such a lockstep move doesn't reveal any cracks in the stock market bull-run.
Key S&P 500 Sectors and Ratios in Focus
Technology (XLK ETF) reversed all intraday losses, and rose on high volume yesterday. The sizable lower shadow underscores the buying interest, boding well for higher prices of the sectoral ETF. And as tech leads the stock market itself, the bullish takeaway is valid also for the S&P 500.
The intraday bullish reversal was mirrored in healthcare (XLV ETF) as well, supporting prospects of more gains to come. And the same goes for financials (XLF ETF) and consumer discretionaries (XLY ETF) too. The key sectors are aligned for more gains ahead, and quite likely shortly.
Among the leading ratios, financials to utilities (XLF:XLU) has indeed broken above the declining resistance line formed by its April highs (and also above those highs themselves) – just as I expected it to. The bullish picture is made complete by the consumer discretionaries to staples ratio (XLY:XLP) that has refused to turn south, and continues to trade within spitting distance of its recent highs.
As for the stealth bull market trio, all three - energy (XLE ETF), materials (XLB ETF) and industrials (XLI ETF) - refused to decline yesterday. That's a uniformly bullish sign, with the materials and industrials having led the move higher on the day.
Summing up, yesterday's selling didn't stick, and the buyers predictably took over the reins. Less and less in terms of resistances is standing in the bulls' way and the challenge of the early March highs is slowly but surely drawing nearer. Both the credit market and sectoral analysis favor this bullish takeaway. So does the Russell 2000 upswing as the smallcaps have reversed higher just as powerfully as the S&P500 did.
I expect stocks to slowly grind higher overall despite the high likelihood of sideways-to-slightly-down trading over the summer – but we're nowhere near the start thereof. Right now, the breakout above the three key resistances (the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, the upper border of the early March gap, and the 200-day moving average) is still unfolding with the bears running for cover and FOMO (fear of missing out) back in vogue. In short, the ball remains in the bulls' court.

text: Auto sales in Russia plummeted by almost two-thirds in March, as the war in Ukraine, Western sanctions and an exodus of foreign businesses wreaked havoc on the country's economy. Just 55,000 new cars and light commercial vehicles were sold in Russia last month, down 63% from March 2021, according to data released Wednesday by the Association of European Business (AEB), a group representing foreign investors in Russia. All brands — European, American and Asian — suffered losses, but the hardest hit among the big sellers were Volkswagen, whose sales fell by 74%, followed by the German group's Škoda brand and Toyota\n \n (TM). In February, overall sales fell just 4.8%, association data showed. Lexus, Toyota's luxury brand, also took a severe hit: Sales collapsed 91%, the most of any make. Porsche, also part of the Volkswagen\n \n (VLKAF) group, saw its sales slump by 73%. Western carmakers ran for the exit following Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine in February. Toyota and Volkswagen were among a raft of companies to announce last month that they had stopped production and halted exports to the country. France's Renault, which owns Russian carmaker AvtoVAZ, recently said it was suspending all activities at its Moscow factory, and "assessing the available options" regarding its stake in the company. The collapse of the ruble also pushed the average price of a new car in Russia up by between 35% and 45% in March, according to Russian car market analytics website Autostat. But splashing out on a new car will likely fall low on most Russians' list of priorities. Since the invasion, annual inflation in Russia has surged to nearly 16%, Reuters reported. The price of staple goods, including sugar and tomatoes has shot up, and there have been reports of shortages in supermarkets after a spate of panic buying. An opening for China? Domestic car models like the AvtoVAZ-owned Lada — an icon of Soviet-era self-reliance — could, in theory, stand to benefit from the absence of foreign competition. But sanctions have snarled supply chains, leading to a severe parts shortage. The company has brought forward a company-wide summer vacation to April, and announced it will move to a 4-day week for three months from June to try to save the jobs of more than 40,000 employees. The company says it is also designing new versions of several Lada models to be less reliant on imported parts. Chinese carmakers could capitalize on the departure of Western brands, said Carol Thomas, central and eastern European analyst at consultancy LMC Automotive. "Chinese brands will no doubt see the current situation as an opportunity and there is a chance more will look to establish a Russian production base in the future," she said. China's Great Wall Motors and Geely saw strong growth in sales in Russia over the first quarter as a whole, and suffered narrower losses than Western rivals in March. — Clare Sebastian and Chris Liakos contributed to this report.

The technology behind headlights has continued to advance since the introduction of the first automobile in the 1880s. From kerosene lamps to dynamo power headlights, the technology has continued to advance due to the introduction of more sophisticated systems. Today, modern carmakers are manufacturing their vehicles with various types of headlight bulbs in a bid to improve efficiency.
But, to those that are totally uninitiated, the world of headlight bulbs can be a bit of a minefield, especially, when words such as Xenon, Halogen, and LED float around. Now, with so many lighting options available, car headlights can sometimes seem like an optional extra or an aesthetic addition.
But, when it comes to driving at night, headlights are an absolute necessity as they illuminate the road ahead of you and keep you safe when driving on busy roads. So, what are the different types of headlight bulbs? Well, that's exactly what we'll be discussing in this guide.

Types of Headlight Housings
Just before we get to our main topic, we would like to discuss just a little bit about the different types of headlight housings. When you think of the headlight, what comes to mind is the actual bulb. But, rather than the bulbs, the housing on which the bulbs reside has a huge influence on your overall lighting experience.
While the bulbs produce the actual light, the housing is responsible for dispersing the light to meet your lighting demands. Now, there are two main types of headlight housings available. These are the reflector and the projector headlights. Let's examine each type in detail.
Reflector Housing
The reflector housing is the standard and most commonly used type of headlight housing by most vehicles. This headlight technology has stood since the invention of the electric headlight. This headlight housing consists of a steel bowl with mirrors placed all-around to help reflect light. At the center of the bowl is a holder that's designed to hold the bulb.
The final piece of this headlight is a clear lens that rests outside to protect the bulb against damage. The older reflector housing had a sealed-beam design that made it entirely impossible to replace the bulb. So, in case the bulb was faulty, the only alternative was to replace the entire headlight.
However, in the 1980s, the sealed-beam headlight technology was improved with much simpler yet efficient technology. The modification involved placing mirrors inside the headlight itself instead of sealing the bulbs inside mirrored individual bowls.
Since the bulbs were placed directly on the headlight housing, it made it much easier to replace burnt-out bulbs. Some of the pros and cons of reflector housings include;
- They're cheap to manufacture
- They're smaller in size hence they take less space
- The beam of light produced is weak
- Light output is less intense
Projector Housing
The projector headlight housing was first used in the 1980s where it was installed on luxurious vehicles. This technology is very similar to reflector housing in myriad ways. Just like the reflector housing, the projector housing uses a mirrored steel bowl that has a bulb mounted in the middle.
The assembly is pretty much the same as that of the reflector headlight as it reflects light to the outside. The only difference with the projector assembly is that it has a magnifying lens at the front of the headlight to increase the brightness of the beam.
Besides the lens, projector housings have an inbuilt cutoff shield that angles the light beam produced downwards towards the road. By angling the light beam downwards, projector headlights are considered safer to use during the night, as they don't blind oncoming motorists. Some of the pros and cons of these types of headlights include;
- They're brighter than reflector housings
- Less likely to blind oncoming motorists
- The beam of light projected is strong without any weak spots
- Offer you the option to use HID bulbs
- Feel quite odd in case you were used to reflector headlights
What are the Different Types of Headlight Bulbs?
The reason why we discussed the different types of headlight housings is that the housing is the one responsible for disbursing the beam of light produced by the bulbs. Now that you're well-aware of both the reflector and projector housings, we'll now discuss the different types of headlight bulbs which are the Halogen, HID, and LED bulbs.
But, before we get to that, it's good to note that bulbs are measured in three major ways. The first one is Lumens, which is used to measure the brightness/output of your bulbs. The second one is Kelvin, which measures the color temperature of a bulb while the third one is Hours, which is used to measure the lifespan. So, with that said, let's now discuss the three main types of headlight bulbs.
Halogen Headlight Bulb
The halogen bulb is the oldest headlight technology that came as an improvement of the old sealed-beam headlight. Although this technology is old, most modern vehicles have comfortably continued to use it due to its efficiency, low cost of production, and ease of replacing the bulbs.
Now, similar to a normal household bulb, a halogen bulb consists of a tungsten filament that's enclosed inside an air-tight tube pressurized with an inert gas. Just like its name, the tube is filled with halogen gas, which is a mixture of iodine and bromine.
For the halogen bulb to illuminate, an electric current is passed through the filament to heat the tungsten until it glows. Once it does, the halogen gas inside takes over to support the heating process to make it last longer. Besides, the halogen gas prevents the tungsten filament from burning up entirely and also blackening the tube.
Halogen bulbs are mostly the cheapest option available. They're cheap to manufacture and very easy to replace. They come in different variations that include the H4, H17, H18, H8, H9, and H11. The H4 bulbs have double-filaments while the H17 and H18 are smaller and brighter. H8, H9, and H11 are self-sealing halogen bulbs that are mostly used as foglights.
But, despite their massive contribution to the headlights department, halogen bulbs have a number of flaws. One, they have the lowest amount of lumens that is around 1000 lumens. They also have the lowest color temperature that ranges from 2,500K to 5,000K.
- These bulbs are the cheapest to manufacture and the easiest to replace
- The beam of light produced is brighter
- Their small size allows them to take less space on the headlight unit
- They have a slight yellowish hue that has a color temperature of around 3,500K. This prevents these bulbs from casting light further ahead
- These bulbs produce a lot of heat when glowing. This makes them less energy efficient
- These bulbs have a shorter lifespan as compared to Xenon and LED bulbs
Xenon/HID Headlight Bulbs
HID bulbs use a completely different technology as compared to halogen bulbs. While halogen bulbs rely on a burning tungsten filament to glow, HID bulbs rely on an arc glowing between two electrodes. Halogen bulbs on their side contain a tube pressurized with a mixture of iodine and bromine gases.
When it comes to HID bulbs, the tubes are pressurized with a mixture of xenon gas, argon gas, and vaporized metals. Now, how do HID bulbs work? When current is passed through the arc between the two electrodes, the heat melts the gases and the vaporized metals (mercury and metal halides) to form plasma. The resulting plasma glows in a shade of white-blue hue to produce bright light.
This bluish-white light is what HID bulbs are famous for and are hence called plasma headlights. Other names you're likely to hear with these car headlight bulbs include Xenon headlights (due to the use of xenon gas) and High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights.
When it comes to performance, HID bulbs are hailed for their typically higher lumen rating that ranges between 3000 to 5000 lumens. They also come in a wide range of color temperature that ranges from 3,500K to 8,000K.
Although HID bulbs are less efficient when compared to LEDs, they're a much better pick when compared to Halogen bulbs. What makes them even better is the availability of aftermarket HID conversion kits in case you need your former halogen headlights to accommodate HID bulbs.
However, finding a road-legal conversion kit is very tricky. When buying a conversion kit, you must ensure it's correctly E-marked. It must also be ECE R99 certified.
- These bulbs were invented by Philips Company thus making them authentic
- They use the plug-and-play technique making installation easy
- They're energy-efficient
- They have a long life expectancy of around 10,000 hours
- They're 350-450% brighter than halogen bulbs
- Their bluish-white hue (3,500K-8,000K) offers a greater range of illumination
- Sometimes you'll need an aftermarket conversion kit which is quite hard to procure
- The strikingly bright hue produced can irritate oncoming traffic
- They're slower in reaching full brightness
LED Headlight Bulbs
The last headlight technology we'll be discussing in this guide is the LED technology. Since their discovery, LED bulbs have managed to overtake halogen and xenon bulbs but to some extent. The reason why I've said "to some extent" is that not all cars can manage to employ this technology.
You see, LED bulbs rely on completely different technology as compared to halogen and xenon bulbs. While halogen and xenon rely on heated filament and arc, LED bulbs rely on a very sophisticated technology known as electroluminescence.
In this technology, electricity is passed through a semiconductor to generate energy in form of photons. This energy appears in the form of tiny particles of light. To provide continuous illumination, this process is repeated many thousand times per sound to make the light stronger.
Although this technology is expensive and very sophisticated, the benefits are incredibly high. First, less heat is generated in the process making LED bulbs energy efficient. Secondly, less heat means that more energy is converted into light thus making these bulbs extremely bright than both halogen and xenon bulbs.
Another massive benefit with LED bulbs is the high lumen they offer (of around 4,000 Lumens) and the high color temperature of around 6,000K. Since they're mostly used with projector headlight housings, these bulbs have a higher light intensity as well as a high degree of contrast that mimics daylight.
The only downside with this technology is that it's still new. Since most aftermarket LED headlight upgrades are not road legal, these bulbs are offered other duties inside the headlights such as working as signal lights and DRLs (Daytime Running Lights).
- LEDs have the longest life expectancy of around 30,000 hours
- They're energy-efficient hence they don't strain your battery
- They can be customized to meet various aesthetic needs
- Small and compact hence take less space within the headlight unit
- They don't irritate oncoming traffic
- The light generated mimics daylight
- Very expensive to produce
- Very expensive to replace. Remember you have to replace the entire light unit
- The majority of the aftermarket LED upgrades are not E marked hence not road legal
As you can see, the headlight technology has continued to flourish from the old oil-filled lamps to the newest LED bulbs. In fact, further technological advances are being evidenced with the likes of matrix and laser headlight technologies. The only problem with these newer technologies is that they're still in their infancy meaning more tests will need to be conducted to guarantee driver safety.
Now, regardless of the headlight technology, you employ, the most important thing is driver safety. Thankfully, this guide has discussed three headlight light bulbs that are the most common in most vehicles on our roads.
Since each technology has its own share of positives and negatives, it's highly recommended that you inspect each category keenly before making your final decision.
