What are Meta Tags, and why are they so important when designing your website? Better yet, what is Meta? The word "Meta" as defined by Wikipedia (Meta info on Wikipedia), literally means "To indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept, used to complete or add to the latter". What this means is, take one concept that is somehow related to another concept and put the two together. In the sense of Meta Tags in HTML, this is exactly what we are doing. Meta tags in HTML can be used to provide information about our pages content, while as this information is directly related to that particular content (the web page). Put another way, Meta Tags provide information about information. Just as the definition states, we are taking information that is similar to other information and combining this information into one, so to speak.
Defining A Character Set in HTML:
One use of Meta Tags, and probably of the most importance, is the "http-equiv" tag. This tag is generally used to define the character-set (character encoding scheme) that will be implemented in your web pages. Just like we have an alphabet that defines the characters for the english language, web pages need a set of characters as well. When we define a character set in our web pages, we are giving browsers and servers critical information that is needed in order to display our pages correctly. What we are doing is providing a format of characters for encoding the data in our web pages for later use. You can think of the viewing of a web page as the decoding process.
You define a character set in HTML like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Here we defined the character set for our HTML document, which is "iso-8859-1", which happens to be known as the western-european character set, which consists of the english language, as well as some european languages. The "iso-8859-1" charset consists of all the upper and lower case English alphabet, the numbers 0 thru 9, and some foreign and special characters. This is a widely used format across the world wide web. Also, notice the forward slash at the end of the meta http-equiv declaration, this is required in XHTML, and is NOT valid without it. All "open" tags of this type must have a forward slash the the end of a declaration.
We also indicated the type of document that is being created using the "Content-Type" attribute, and setting our content to "text/html", which is the proper formatting for use with HTML 4.01, and XHTML 1.0 Transitional markup languages. Technically though, the "text/html" value is really not XHTML compliant. The proper character set for XHTML is content="application/html+xml".
UTF-8 <meta http=equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> Theres a problem with the western-european character set though, it doesn't cover all languages, as well as a number of scientific and mathematical symbols. This is where "UTF-8" and "UTF-16" come into play. If your making web pages that need to be accessible in multiple languages, then UTF-8 is the best encoding scheme to use. UTF means "Unicode Transformation Format". UTF-8 includes all the characters in the ISO-8859-1 encoding format, along with many characters from other foreign languages. Also, UTF-8 is backward compatible with ASCII (American Standard Code For Information Interchange), which makes up the majority of characters used in the western-european character set. UTF-8 stores characters using one byte (8 bits) of data at a time. Another encoding format known as UTF-16, stores data 2 bytes at a time vs UTF-8's 1 byte. UTF-16 files can get quite large as compared to their UTF-8 counterparts. It's best to stick with either the western-european (iso-8859-1) or UTF-8 encoding formats for your web pages.
Ex: <html>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Title of your webpage </head>
Meta Name attribute:
You use the Meta Name attribute to specify information about your page, its content, etc. To specify information about your content you would use the Meta "description" and Meta "keywords" attributes like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Your web page title</title>
<meta name="description" content="Learn about HTML and CSS. Learn web design concepts."> (Use a description that accurately depicts the content you are trying to present to the reader or user.)
<meta name="keywords" content="html tutorial, css tutorial, html syntax, css syntax"> (Use keywords that define and describe your content.)
Now theres a big argument as to the importance of Meta Tags and just how valuable or not they are to your actual search results. It's commonly thought that Meta "description" and "keywords" tags are no longer used by search engines. Not true at all! When a user types a search query into Google search, Google then returns a set of links, each with its own URL, and description of the content. Google as an example uses several different methods to to provide a description of the content that is located within a webpage. Some of these methods are, using a strip of a webpages actual content, this could be part of a paragraph or links, using the sites Meta description to fill in the web page description, or by using "Rich Code Snippets" (which is beyond the scope of what we are discussing). Infact, much of the time, Google is still known to return search results to users using the Meta "description" under a pages link. So, Meta Tags are still very much needed and still very much in use. Meta Tags however will not define your "page ranking" for a given search engine. There are a lot of factors involved when determining page rank, and Meta Tags make up a very small portion of these factors. Remember we are using Meta Tags to provide content and formatting information about a particular webpage. If your concerned about your websites overall pagerank, make sure your webpages title, Meta "description" and "keywords" tags, your page headings (h1, h2, etc), as well as your actual content can all be tied together. If your page is about video games, then give an accurate as possible description in all the areas we just covered. If you want to learn more about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and "pagerank" you can check out our tutorial on "SEO for the real world" under our editorials section.

First dish will be lookin after prepared like in picture next to this sentence. It will be quick & easy hot-and-sour chicken noodle soup.
1.Bring a small pan of water to the boil and cook the noodles following pack instructions. Drain, rinse under cold running water to stop them cooking further, then drizzle over a little oil to prevent them sticking together. Divide between 2 deep bowls.
2.Heat a wok over high heat and add the rest of the oil. When it starts to smoke, add the ginger and chilli, then stir-fry for a few secs. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 2 mins. As the meat starts to turn brown, add the rice wine and cook for 3 mins more. Add the vegetable stock, bring to a simmer, then add the mushrooms. Season with the dark soy, light soy and rice vinegar.
3.Bring back to a simmer, then add the cornflour paste. Simmer and stir until thickened. Stir in the beansprouts and most of the spring onions, then ladle the soup over the noodles. Serve immediately, scattered with the remaining spring onions
Second dish will be for gourmets of pizzas! It it tomato pizza!
1. For the dough, put the flour, yeast and 2 tsp salt into a large bowl and mix. Make a well. Mix the oil and water in a jug, then tip into the bowl. Use a wooden spoon to work the liquid into the flour – it will seem pretty wet. Set the bowl aside for 15 mins. Leaving the dough like this will save you from lengthy kneading later.
2.Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface, flour your hands, then knead it very gently for about 2 mins until it is fairly even, soft and bouncy. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with oiled cling film, then let it rise in a warm place (or in the fridge overnight) until doubled in size.
3.When ready to cook, heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9 or as hot as it will go, then put a baking sheet inon a high shelf. Dust another sheet with flour. Split the dough into 8, then roll 3 balls thinly into rough circles. Lift onto the floured sheet. Smear over a thin layer of the sauce, scatter over a few slices of tomato, season, then add sliced goat's or grated Parmesan cheese if you want to. Slide the sheet on top of the heated sheet. Bake for 12 mins or until golden and crisp and the tomatoes are starting to caramelise around the edges. Top with any fresh toppings, then drizzle with more olive oil to serve.
hope you like my receipes,

Due to our preference to use GRCh38-aligned results, a large number of raw test results have been collected. This allows a unique opportunity to show case how each direct-to-consumer Next Generation Test performs to the vendors' marketing claims. All statistics are provided by GATK's CallableLoci tool with default settings after performing realignment. The tool reports locations with a minimum depth of 4 and less than 10% of the reads have a PHRED-scaled mapping quality less than 10.
The "Est. Years/SNP" calculation uses Adamov et al (2015.)'s 8.2E-10 SNP mutation rate and the CALLABLE coverage. The figure represents the average number of years between potential SNP branches. Some branches will see more and others less. Inclusion of simple Insertion or Deletion events, and small Multiple Nucleotide Polymorphisms could reduce this interval in all test types.
Use this information in choosing the platform most capable of answering your genetic genealogy questions.
|Test Type
|Callable Loci
|combBED Loci
|Poznik Loci
|Total Loci
|Samples (n)
|Est. Years/SNP
The combBED regions were originally published in Adamov et al (2015.) The combBED is actually the intersection of Poznik et al. (2013) and the Big Y White Paper regions. The Poznik regions defined sections of the Y chromosome where the aligner reported confident quality scores and depths within expected ranges. The Big Y regions define those targeted by FTDNA's NGS test. The intersection becomes a simple filter criterion when sequences can be aligned with 90% confidence with 75-150 base reads and are consistently reported in Big Y tests.
The combBED statistic becomes a valuable tool in anticipating how well other Next Generation Sequencing platforms can be used for direct comparison with Big Y. Given the 14% coefficient of variance between Big Y themselves, it becomes clear any direct-to-consumer platform with 6.7 million combBED loci will be a direct substitution. The data in the 1000 Genomes project and Ancient Whole Genome Sequencing released over the last year is more difficult to compare as the callable coverage areas do not align as well.
The Y DNA coverage metric for VeritasGenetics and FullGenomes Whole Genome Sequencing tests is under reported. At present converting a full 30x WGS test takes over 96 hours. To more efficiently add the samples only the GRCh37 Y DNA segments are being realigned. Future iterations may correct this potential issue.

If fun comes with numbers, then Collection 3056 is set to be a merry evening indeed. No, it's not a crowd of 3056, but a group of eight designers, banding together to show their designs as part of the official program for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week.
Amongst the eight-strong group are labels such as Anna Cat, A Name is a Label, Lhords, NMBQ, Jack of Diamons, Hand Hook Yarn, Neisha and Ella, with local stylist Bianca Christoff bringing them all together as the event's artistic director. Though technically a group show, Collection 3056 could be viewed more as an illustration of community, with all eight designers hailing from the creative hub of Brunswick.
A postcode (hence the name) isn't the only thing the group shares. Another combining factor is their dedication to ethical and sustainable design practices, a key topic at this year's fashion week. "I think it's incredibly important to dispel the association that 'ethical clothing' means clothes made out of hessian bags," notes Bianca Christoff. Having worked for a wide range of publications as a stylist, Christoff took on the position of artistic director with a strong belief in nurturing the designers, their practices and the independent design community at large.
"It's really heartening when you meet these independent designers who are completely devoted to producing locally and ethically, even when they could be going offshore and to make their garments for a tenth of the price," she says. "It's about being able to gather a group of professional industry people who really believe in this project and can work as a collaborative team to harness this idea and create a pretty incredible show."
Christoff has designed Collection 3056 to be fashion forward whilst also maintaining an independent sense of creativity. Renowned electronic live drawing artist and participant of MONA FOMA this year, Kellie O'Dempsey, will also be creating visuals for the show, further emphasising Collection 3056's unique and forward-thinking approach.
If you would like to support Collection 3056, donations can be made at pozible.com. Pre-purchase tickets to the show online.

Kitchen Island Designs – New Year's Spectacular Ideas to Determine the Best One
Believe it or not, kitchen islands are the most exciting popular trend in kitchen design in general. Inspire of being that kind of a recent kitchen trend, people have used them in some fashion for lots of years. The secret behind the kitchen islands popularity is their functionality and design suitability to every taste. They have many features and elements more than one can be aware and appreciate. It is also worth mentioning that you can mix and match various colors and materials to create whole new ones.
Determining the Use of the Island. You need to consider the kitchen island's function while selecting it as it is one of the most efficient yet productive steps. You can choose to use it for many purposes like eating, chatting, a microwave, refrigerator or even sinks. There is no specific function for kitchen islands. Alternatively, you should think about ways to improve your kitchen experience.
Food Preparation. You often prepare food in the kitchen, which may not be that satisfying to others to see. Luckily, you have the opportunity to prepare your favorite food underneath the surface of the island. As a result, you will be able to do your kitchen activities properly like slicing, mixing and other kitchen stuff without allowing others to see your mess.
Providing Enough Clearance. There should be enough space between your kitchen cabinets and your kitchen island. To be specific, this space should be around three to four feet to be suitable. If you are not sure about this amount of space, make sure to afford more space to enable your family to feel comfortable around the kitchen island table. Remember to take measures of your kitchen while placing your island to ensure having enough clearance. As a result, you will be able to prevent mistakes or accidents from happening thanks to the residence of things close to the kitchen island.
Consider the Big Picture. Do not forget to take a look at what is left of your kitchen decor while choosing your kitchen island design. It is all about what you really desire when it comes to matching the kitchen island with the rest of your kitchen decor. What really matters is to make sure that it is suitable to the overall theme of your kitchen. For instance, matching the kitchen island with the furniture rather than with the cabinets is more style that is common and popular.

And yet...
A Human wants little more than to be the center of attention at ALL costs.
How fuckin sad is that?
Humans are truly losing the ability to interact with each other, other than in a non personal manner. So what happens when we can no longer interact in a Loving, Positive...
Selfless way?
We're beginning to find out and it's one hell of an Ugly sight to see.

An eight-year-old girl is dead and her older brother is fighting for his life after a crash in NSW that has helped push the national Easter road toll to 14.
NSW Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner John Hartley, said Easter was a time when Australian families came together.
But after a horrific crash on a wet Central Coast road on Saturday evening, "we have a family that has been torn apart".
The eight-year-old died in Westmead Children's Hospital on Sunday morning.
Her nine-year-old brother is in a critical condition in the same hospital while a third child, a 12-year-old boy, is listed as stable.
Four women were also injured in the crash involving a car and a ute at Doyalson.
"Please, before you get into your car today, talk to each other, make the commitment to whoever is in your car or on your bike, that they are your responsibility," Assistant Commissioner Hartley said.
"Don't become distracted, don't drive faster than you should, and for everyone's sake - don't become complacent."
He warned drivers returning home from the long weekend to expect delays and be patient.
Another child, a four-year-old boy, was killed in Brisbane on Sunday.
The boy was hit while riding his scooter in Logan, south of Brisbane.
He sustained head and chest injuries and died at the scene.
It took Queensland's Easter road toll to seven.
"This looks like to be the worst Easter we've had in several years," Inspector Ivan Sikorsky said.
Also on Sunday, a woman pedestrian, 61, was killed in Sydney's west.
Police in Western Australia have released details of a crash on Thursday.
A 78-year-old man was injured when his car left the road and rolled at Coodanup, south of Perth, and the man died in hospital on Friday.
In addition to the seven deaths in Queensland there have been three in NSW, two in Western Australia and one each in Victoria and South Australia.

This course aims to emphasize the Thai language in all communicative realms to give students a better understanding of Thai language and comparative culture as students learn to use the language in discussions with native speakers. These communicative skills will be learned through examination of short and long news articles, advertisements, job applications, and academic articles./p>
By the end of this course students will be able to read and discuss the main ideas and details in a variety of Thai texts: news, advertisements, job applications, and academic articles. Students will also write essays about various Thai topics and make comparisons between their knowledge and experiences with other cultures. Students will also make well-organized presentations using appropriate vocabulary to demonstrate fluency of speech.
Course Requirements:
Because mastery of the Thai language depends on practice, evaluation will be based on attendance, participation, and homework in which students will practice what we learn in class. There will also be quizzes, two presentation assignments, and a final exam to check for understanding.

Abstract : In this paper we show how Conceptual Graphs CG are a powerful metaphor for identifying and understanding the W3C Resource Description Framework. We also presents CG as a target language and graph homomorphism as an abstract machine to interpret-implement RDF-S, SPARQL and Rules. We show that CG components can be used to implement such notions as named graphs and properties as resources. In brief, we think that CG are an excellent framework to progress in the Semantic Web because the W3C now considers that RDF graphs are – along with XML trees – one of the two standard formats for the Web 1 .

Conservation of Nature
The first solution of conservation of Nature would be eliminating the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil. Though, this is a very difficult task. Still, a major part of our population depends on coal for making food. Apart from it, half of the world's electricity ID generated from coal. Oil, on the other hand, acts a lubricant of the global economy. Without IT there cannot be a movement of goods as well as consumers, it is fundamental to transportation. So, eliminating the burning of coal or reducing dependence upon oil becomes a serious challenge. But, We should address the same needs if we are to protect the climate. Though, there is no perfect solution for reducing their use. But we need to employ its alternatives whenever it is possible for us like using plant-derived plastics, biodiesel or wind power.
The buildings across the nation carry the pride of emitting one-third of the greenhouse gases. Cement is required in great quantity for the construction of these roads and cement is the major source of greenhouse gas emissions as it includes heating of limestone and other ingredients which release various harmful gases. U.S alone contributes to around 50.7 metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through the production of cement. Though the production of cement cannot be reduced but more improved techniques can be used in place of it like using alternative fuel for heating up limestone. This can certainly lead to a substantial drop in the emission of greenhouse gases.
Transportation has been considered as the second leading source of greenhouse gases. It forms the basic part of our daily life, from driving bike, car to driving trucks, tractors. There should be a reduction in the use of these vehicles. Instead of driving to work or schools, one can either take help of public transportation or best would be switching to cycles or if possible travelling distances by foot. This would have a considerable cut in the greenhouse gas emissions.
The easiest way to have a check on gas emissions is simply buying less stuff. By doing so, fewer fossil fuels would be burned to extract that commodity, lower fossil fuels would be used to ship the products. Another way is to impart green thinking while purchasing anything. For example- If we are to buy a new car, we should buy the one that will last longer and that would have the least impact on the environment. Thus, using a hybrid engine would offer higher fuel efficiency and will alone save the environment. Also, while purchasing grocery we can buy in bulk which will reduce the amount of packaging which is in the form of plastic wrappers or cardboard boxes.
The most important step we need to take is that of stopping the cutting of trees. Every year, around 33 million acres of forests are torn down. In the tropic, alone timber harvesting contributes to 1.5 metric tons of carbon which amounts to almost 20 percent of human made greenhouse emissions and is a source of emission which can be avoided relatively easily. We need to improve agricultural practices accompanied with recycling of paper and forest management that includes balancing the quantity of wood taken out of new trees.
If still, We won't do anything, then it will be getting worse. The shift to better environmental conditions would not happen overnight, it will require a lot of tough and challenging decisions. Conservation of Nature is necessary. So, We need to find a new sustainable path towards our better future.
Nature is Beautiful and we should admire it.

Helping out someone in #ipv6 on FreeNode today, they had issues with getting ospf6d to redistribute the default IPv6 route. They were configured to redistribute static, connected and kernel, but for one reason or another the default route wasn't getting picked up and shared. Luckily they were also running the zebra daemon, so I recommended that they manually configure the default route in the zebra config, and lo' everything magically worked! So if you are running into the same issue with Quagga's OPSFv3 and getting a default IPv6 route redistributed, make sure you've added the route within Zebra.

IPv6 OSPFv3 MTU Quirk with Brocade and Quagga
One of the things learned in my time at previous job, was the interoperability between IPv6 routing protocols and platforms. I ran into a quirk when deploying some Quagga boxes (0.99.x version) talking OSPFv3 with some Brocade routers running NetIron 5.x. The issue was that if MTU wasn't specifically configured on the Brocade interface facing the Quagga box, OSPFv3 wouldn't properly negotiate and was pretty much useless. However setting the MTU on the Brocade interface to 1500 fixed this. It is possible that this would also work with jumbo frame MTU settings, however the machines weren't getting configured or deployed for that. Just something to look out for in the lab or production, if OSPFv3 appears configured correctly everywhere, but won't establish. Quagga's BGP had no issue with communicating properly with a Brocade router that didn't specify MTU on its interface, it was only OSPFv3 that appeared to be affected.
Basic BGP configuration for IPv6
So you have your ASN and just got your PI (Provider-Independent Address Allocation) straight from an RIR, or perhaps a LoA (Letter of Authority) to announce some PA (Provider-Assigned Address Allocation) space from your ISP. You'll need to start getting that announced out there to your peers, customers and transits. So lets use some documentation prefixes and ASNs and sort out a basic working config. I'll base the examples on my experience with Brocade NetIron software on XMRs, which can translate over to Quagga or Cisco IOS with a few tweaks.
Assuming you are familiar with BGP4+ with IPv4, IPv6 is not so different or any more complex when getting started. Lets start off with some numbers:
Upstream ISP ASN: 64500
Your ASN: 64501
Specific /126 configured on interfaces out of allocated /64: 2001:db8:0:1::/126
PA allocation to announce: 2001:db8:1234::/48
Start off with making certain that you've configured IPv6 on your upstream facing interface, and they've configured your side, and you can ping each other over the link. The upstream provider's configuration can be done as so:
isp#conf t isp#(config)ipv6 prefix-list as64501-ipv6-filter seq 1 permit 2001:db8:1234::/48 isp#(config)router bgp isp#(config-bgp)nei 2001:db8:0:1::2 remote-as 64501 isp#(config-bgp)nei 2001:db8:0:1::2 desc Customer_Name isp#(config-bgp)no nei 2001:db8:0:1::2 activate isp#(config-bgp)add ipv6 uni isp#(config-bgp-af)nei 2001:db8:0:1::2 activate isp#(config-bgp-af)nei 2001:db8:0:1::2 filter-list as64501-ipv6-filter in isp#(config-bgp-af)exit isp#wr mem
So the breakdown of these steps is:
- enter configuration mode on router
- build a filter to restrict what the customer (you) are allowed to announce (seq optional but required for multiple entries in list)
- enter BGP configuration mode
- create a specific session using target/destination IPv6 address and ASN of customer
- optionally add a description of the session perhaps to track who it is more clearly
- you don't want IPv4 routes going out or coming in over the session, IPv6 routes only
- change address-family for IPv6 specific BGP settings
- activate sending and learning IPv6 routes over the session
- apply the filter for accepting INBOUND routes from you/customer
- exit & then write out the config
On the customer side it is similar but not exact:
you#conf t you#(config)ipv6 prefix-list outbound-ipv6-filter seq 1 permit 2001:db8:1234::/48 you#(config)router bgp you#(config-bgp)nei 2001:db8:0:1::1 remote-as 64500 you#(config-bgp)nei 2001:db8:0:1::1 desc ISP_Name you#(config-bgp)no nei 2001:db8:0:1::1 activate you#(config-bgp)add ipv6 uni you#(config-bgp-af)network 2001:db8:1234::/48 you#(config-bgp-af)nei 2001:db8:0:1::1 activate you#(config-bgp-af)nei 2001:db8:0:1::1 filter-list outbound-ipv6-filter out you#(config-bgp-af)exit you#wr mem
The differences being:
1) outbound filter list on your session to the ISP
2) network statement for the allocation to be announced by BGP
You'll also need some sort of anchor route so BGP knows to announce the route. This can be either a local null-route or static-route for the covering prefix, or an IP out of the prefix configured on an interface. So once BGP is configured, and establishes between both routers, the ISP side should see something similar to:
isp#sh ipv6 bgp nei 2001:db8:0:1::2 routes There are 1 accepted routes from neighbor 2001:db8:0:1::2 Searching for matching routes, use ^C to quit... Status A:AGGREGATE B:BEST b:NOT-INSTALLED-BEST C:CONFED_EBGP D:DAMPED E:EBGP H:HISTORY I:IBGP L:LOCAL M:MULTIPATH m:NOT-INSTALLED-MULTIPATH S:SUPPRESSED F:FILTERED s:STALE Prefix Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Status 1 2001:db8:1234::/48 2001:db8:0:1::2 1 140 0 E AS_PATH: 64501
And that should be it. You can obviously play around with peer-groups, route-maps, etc. Communities should work as long as your ISP offers them, so be sure to ask. Ideally there is at least a blackhole community in place. That should allow you to announce a specific range or IP that you want to have null-routed upstream in cases of abuse or attacks. That filter could look like either of the following, depending on how specific they allow you to announce:
ipv6 prefix-list as64501-ipv6-filter seq 1 permit 2001:db8:1234::/48 le 64
ipv6 prefix-list as64501-ipv6-filter seq 1 permit 2001:db8:1234::/48 le 128
With the obvious requirement that the BGP sessions would need to be configured as blackhole community enabled on both sides.

- Disappointed Review by Michelle
Value Quality Price
Right out of the box 2 of the fish bladders had holes.
Also the stem to pump up the ball is extremely difficult to close and keep closed.I tried putting tape over valve and that helped a little.
The quality of the inside bladder is like a cheap beach ball after 1 day of classes none of the fish were useable. We contacted GOPHER and they replaced all the balls. But the replacement balls were still low quality. They do NOT stay inflated. Due to poor quality the value and price is negligible. I love the idea and created a few games,but these balls are a 1 time use ball , so sad :(
GOPHER did replace the 1st set,but we would constantly be asking for replacements due to the poor quality.

So, as most of us know by now, skate wax can be one of the most important aspects of our aggressive skating experience. I mean, how many times have you showed up to the spot and you didn't bring any skate wax, and now the spot is rendered unskateable because nothing slides. Well we've just got in stock a bunch of these Skate Wax Butter Bars so that you'll no longer have to worry about having wax! This thing is a nice and hearty brick of solid skate wax that is chomping at the bit to get involved in the session! We're talking 9 ounces of slick sliding lubricant that's sure to make any surface slide like a dream. And right now at Roller Warehouse, this Skate Wax Butter Bar is only $5 per bar. You'll never be without skate wax ever again, just remember to throw it in your aggressive skate bag before you leave to go skate!
So what do you do with this thick and hearty Skate Wax Butter Bar? Well, if you haven't been aggressive skating for very long, you still might not be sure what do with the wax. Although, it's pretty simple. All you have to do is find a surface that you'd like to grind.. rail, ledge, curb, whatever. Chances are, that surface won't slide very well because it's more than likely a raw and gritty surface. Well, bust out your half-pound Skate Wax Butter Bar and start rubbing it in to the surface. As the picture shows above, you want to get the top, side, and the corner of rough curbs to ensure that you'll be sliding smooth! Rails usually don't need as much wax, so apply as necessary. But within no time you'll be sliding like a dream! And like we said, this Skate Wax Butter Bar is only $5 per bar, so buy a couple and stock up on wax so you'll never be without it!

Brenda Matsen
Brenda Rae Matsen, 61, died peacefully surrounded by family on Dec. 23, 2017, at Banner University Hospital in Phoenix, Ariz.
Brenda was born Feb. 10, 1956, in Storm Lake.
Brenda was best known for being "Mother of the Year," each and every year, declared by her daughters. It was a title she coveted—only second to the title of Grandmother. She enjoyed shopping trips with her girls, sleepovers with her grandkids and her retirement views of the San Tan Mountains. Her passions included baking, reading and cheering on the Iowa State Cyclones with her husband, Jess. She was best described as loving, generous and courageous.
For the past 30 years, Brenda was super-human in fighting illness including cancer, heart disease and pulmonary fibrosis. She fought each battle with strength and bravery, while often being known as a miracle patient. She was famous for defying the odds.
Brenda spent her working years with Land O'Lakes, Fort Dodge Laboratories and Boehringer Ingelheim. Her last role was spent working in research and development, specializing in regulatory affairs. She was a graduate of Buena Vista University with a degree in business and entrepreneurship. In addition to her work, she was a previous board member of the American Cancer Society and Fort Dodge Community School Foundation.
Brenda is survived by her husband of 39 years, Jess; her two daughters, Jennifer (Chad) Curtis of Arlington Heights, Ill. and Ashley (C.J.) O'Brion of Chandler, Ariz.; her grandchildren: Spencer and Lauren Curtis and Taylor and Avery O'Brion. She also leaves behind her parents, Wilbert and Lila Schwanz; brother, Brian (Colleen) Schwanz; and sister Rhonda (Tony) Coombs, all of Alta.
There will be a celebration of life for family and friends in Arizona on Feb.10, as well as in Iowa at a later date. Memorials may be sent to the Matsen Family at 31997 N. Larkspur Drive, San Tan Valley, AZ 85143.

Around New Years Eve you can find them everywhere: stalls that sell a huge amount of deep fried Dutch doughnuts and apple fritters! They are called oliebollen, can be found in many shapes and forms and the Dutch love them!
Somewhat similar to the American doughnut, oliebollen are made of flour and yeast and than are deep fried to get a crispy skin. Some prefer them with raisins in them, but I'm a purist when it comes to oliebollen and eat them without adding extra's.
One thing (almost) every Dutchman agrees to are the toppings: lots and lots of powdered sugar! Have you been struggling with extra lovehandles since christmas? This is not the time to worry about them as oliebollen are as delicious as they are fat and sugary. ;)
– 500 gr gluten free flour (Schär)
– 750 gr lactose free milk
– Teaspoon of sugar
– About 14-16 gr of yeast
– Pinch of salt
Start by gathering your ingredients. You can leave out the sugar if you want and add other ingredients like soaked raisins.
Edit: The cinnamon in the picture is not needed.
Weigh out 500 grams of gluten free flour and add two bags of yeast to it.
Edit: I used Schär, but any other brand is fine.
Warm up the milk in the microwave or oven and add it bit by bit to the flour mixture while mixing all the time to avoid having lumps.
Edit: Use a mixer with dough hooks. There will be lumps in it, so don't worry, but try to get most out!
Turn on the oven on 40 degrees (or as low as it goes) and put the bowl with dough inside it for about 25 to 30 minutes. It should rise to about twice the size it was. Also, turn on the frying pan at 180 degrees Celsius. Than, mix the dough up a bit using a spoon.
Edit: Instead of putting the dough on the oven, you can also cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave it on the heating for about an hour, but I found that the oven works just as well and faster.
Using two large spoons, make balls out of the dough and slide them into the hot frying pan. There should fit about 4 to 5 doughnuts in a regular sized one.
Edit: Don't wear your fancy clothes or use your good cutlery as there is a chance that the hot oil tends to splash a bit. Also turn on the extractor hood or your house will smell like doughnuts for forever.
Using an old fork, separate the doughnuts from each other and use the fork (or Force) to turn them around.
Edit: The doughnuts will sink to the bottom at first, but will come up to the surface soon after. If they don't, get them loose using your fork.
When the doughnuts are dark golden brown, use two old forks to take them out of the frying pan and onto a baking tray covered in paper towels.
Edit: That's all! If you want to reheat them, I suggest using the microwave: it will keep them moist instead of drying them out and they will stay crisp as long as you don't microwave them too long.
– 5 to 6 large apples (goudreinet)
– 500 gr gluten free flour (Schär)
– 750 gr lactose free milk
– About 7-10 gr of yeast
– Pinch of salt
– Sugar
– Cinnamon
The ingredients are pretty much the same as for the doughnuts, but with less yeast and added sugar and cinnamon.
Edit: Don't forget your curious cat ;) If you want to make oliebollen too, than make them first! The apple juice will turn the oil in the frying pan bad, so you'll have to refill after making them.
Repeat step 2 until 4, but instead of letting the dough rise for half an hour, make it just a bit shorter.
Edit: Add extra milk if the mixture has risen too much.
While the dough is rising in the oven, prepare your apples. Use an apple drill to cut out the inside of the apple (don't be like me and forget that you don't have one). Remove the skin of the apples and chop them into slices of about 2 cm thick.
Edit: You can cut out the inside of the apples pieces by pieces like I did, but you risk breaking it. Also don't make the slices too thin, as they will break.
Make a mixture out of sugar and cinnamon and fill up a plate with it. Dip the apple slices into it until they are all fully covered.
Edit: There should be more sugar than cinnamon in the mixture.
Now comes the tricky part: cover the whole piece of apple with dough. it won"t stick no matter how hard you try though, but try anyway.
Edit: Add extra milk if the mixture still is to thick to stick.
Now that we have left the sticky part behind us, slip the apple fritter into the frying pan. Turn around with a metal fork and bake until dark golden brown. Than remove it from the frying pan and leave it on a paper towel that will absorb some of the extra oil.
Edit: Careful while eating, the inside is very hot! Try this with powdered sugar too, it's delicious!

I love everything about The Hangover; the story, the jokes, the art direction, the casting, the social commentary/satire and the baby (Carlos/Taylor). it's just amazing.
On my way out of the theater, I heard a lot of women complaining how stupid or how gross the movie is. Grab your dude and watch a chick flick to make it even, stop bitching.
It looks like the guys had a lot of fun working on this movie. I wish I made this movie. I wish I'm a guy so I can get so fucked up in Vegas and tell them fucking annoying bitches what's what.
I'm wild at heart.

March is one of my favourite months. Mainly because it is my birthday month and the beginning of autumn. This whole month has been so much fun for me — from having such an amazing birthday to just general well being and happiness. I am forever grateful towards all the people in my life that made my day/s so special. I can't wait to show you the beautiful presents I was spoilt with for my birthday! In today's post I want to recap on my last "Let's Catch Up" post and update you on a few things.
I have many drafted posts lined up that are currently in the works. I'll give you a list of the titles (in no particular order) so you have an idea of what's to come on Amour JNFR. Please let me know if you have any posts you would like me to do. I'm always in need of new ideas.

7 Day Lipstick Challenge - Day 3
I mentioned in my previous catch up post that I had gone on a job interview and was potentially about to work for this company — however I decided it wasn't for me. I think I've come to the point in my life where I want a change of scenery and environment. I still want to be within the beauty industry but I want to work in an office environment. More "behind the scenes" type of work. I haven't exactly lost all my passion as a makeup artist — I think it has more to do with my motivation and needing something to drive me further within my career. I want to take the next step and explore new things. I'm constantly immune to change and I love the idea of always experiencing new adventures. At the moment I have a lot of exciting things planned for my career and things in the works. I won't (again) mention too much details at this moment, as we all know things can change and I always like to be certain before I confirm anything on here.
My blog work has been keeping me very busy whilst working with many PR companies as well as building up a stronger platform for my site. I also have a few video ideas in the making, which I am very excited about. I'm not sure if I want to make YouTube a permanent thing for myself, like blogging. However it is something on my mind. I need to keep building up confidence and see how it all pans out. When I created my first video it was so much fun and I was so intrigued by how much I really enjoyed filming and editing it. Thank you so much for everyone's input and love towards my video, your support means a lot to me.
Going back again, to my catch up post where I mentioned about minimalism and decluttering, etc. I have continued looking through all my belongings and sorting a pile of "unwanted" items to gift to my sister. I've been thinking for a long time now of doing a post about "products that didn't work for me, however work for my sister" kind of post — but I am not sure how to execute this just yet (especially the title — haha). Would you be interested in reading about that?
I cannot tell you enough how great it feels to accumulate all my belongings I no longer use, or have ever used (makeup/skincare/accessories) and gifting it to my sister. Of course, she is always over the moon when I come over her house baring a basket full of gifts. It makes me surprised each time seeing how much my sister uses and puts those products to better use. I honestly remember gifting her a foundation and by the end of the week she had already used half of the bottle. I don't know how she does it — I do know she wears a lot heavier coverage than I do. I never finish a product. It's very rare for me to have a pile of used up products. I like to rotate my makeup/skincare quite often so therefore it never ends up being finished. Which to me is a bad habit of mine — that's why I started writing a post on "shopping my stash". These kinds of posts like the "project 10 pan" etc, are many ideas I have in mind to do with my collection. I'll keep you updated on how I go with that.
I wanted to also update that I had received a new MacBook Pro for my birthday from my beautiful Mr. It was such a surprise and I couldn't believe he had gifted this to me. It is definitely something I have always wanted for such a long time — I had owned my old MacBook (the white one) since I was 18 — which is what my boyfriend had gifted me for my 18th birthday. It's basically his tradition to get me an Apple product every now and then for my birthday. He had gifted me my iMac for my 21st and he told me it was long due to upgrade to a new MacBook Pro. It is so nice to have a new laptop to work on, especially for travelling. I usually use my iPad Air with the bluetooth keyboard I have for it — however the iPad being more of a mobile base tech, there was many things I wasn't able to do on there compared to an actual laptop. I love bringing my MacBook around with me, I can't believe how beautiful the new models are and how fast they are too. I love my iMac but having a laptop I can bring with me anywhere is so good!
Do you remember when I set myself a few goals for this year? So far, I've been doing most of them pretty well. There is the "wearing false lashes at least once a week" goal that I am failing with — which is what I presumed I would have. I think I wear them more so every 2-3 weeks, I need to keep reminding myself to do it. I get so lazy and find it time consuming especially since I've been going more natural with my makeup these last few months — however it is a goal I really want to work on more. Goals I have been doing quite consistently — I've been walking my dogs a lot, blogging regularly and started filming, I started attending pilates and yoga class again just yesterday and will be signing up for a yearly pass, (thanks to my friend Evelyn for motivating me to go again) I do a bit of yoga and exercising at home too — but it felt so good to go to a class again, we've been planning our Europe trip (and saving hard for it too!) as well as savings for our house. It is a great feeling knowing that the goals I have set for myself are doable and I have been living up to it. I know all the other years I eventually forget about my goals.
Another goal I need to work on is attending more workshops/events. However being an introvert and home body, that doesn't happen on the regular. I do have quite a few workshops I want to book with my boyfriend and friends — building a terrarium class, pottery class and events held by Lush, Kikki.K, T2, Mecca, etc. At this moment, studying isn't really what's on my agenda. I did write I wanted to study a short course (mainly another language) but it isn't the cheapest of things to do. Although, it is still something I have on my list to mesh in with my work life eventually.
How are you going with your New Years resolutions/goals you've set for yourself?

How should you attack any of the workouts that seem impossible? The first thing is not to look at the whole workout as one gigantic obstacle. Break it down into small more manageable pieces and then you will be able to take small bites out of it until eventually you are all the way through it. This allows you to feel like you are "winning" while you are making your way through the workout. Its tough to have the drive when you feel like you are fighting a losing battle. But this little trick will help you to feel successes in the workout and keep you pushing. This tetechnique doesn't just work in the gym. It works the exact same way in real life. If you have a task, a job, or an issue that you need to deal with that seems to big, to hard, or to demanding, just break it down into smaller more manageable piece and start attacking it. Keep driving and you will eventually get to the end. You can do it!! Small successful pieces to the finish line!!!
WE WILL ONLY BE HAVING THE 8AM and 915AM CLASS ON MONDAY JULY 4TH!!!!! PLEASE COME GET YOUR WOD ON AND THEN ENJOY AN AMAZING DAY WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

After several concluded Hot Springs Village anglers club tournaments, the season standings find angler Dave Keith and co-angler Bob Brannan leading their respective divisions.
The angler-of-the-year category is based on a point system with 25 points going to the first-place winner of each tournament, 24 to second place, 23 to third place and so on.
Keith is atop that leaderboard with 227 points.
Just behind him is Bob Alexander with 216 points followed by Mike Crews with 206, Don Langston with 174 and Craig Schilling rounding out the top five anglers with 145 points.
Fisherman-of-the-year is based on the total "weight" of fish caught in each tournament.
That weight is determined by measuring a fish and then, using an Arkansas Game and Fish chart, those inches are turned into ounces.
Thus the tournaments are known as a "paper tournament" in that no fish are kept. They are measured by the person who caught it, verified by a partner and then released back into the lake.
Keith also leads this category with 61.6 pounds of bass.
Alexander again comes in number two with a total catch thus far of 54.3 pounds.
Crews ranks third with 48.7 pounds, Dick Paulsen slots in at number four with 39.3 pounds and Langston has the fifth spot with 38.9 pounds of bass.
In the co-angler division, Brannan leads with 197 points, followed by Paulsen with 178 points.
Third place goes to Paul Galfund with 158 points, and Allen Thompson right behind with 156 points.
Robert Sonnen has the fifth position with 114 points.
The next competition begins at 6:30 a.m. Friday on Lake Balboa.
Each division has a tight race in progress so the positions will likely change before the season concludes in November. Stay tuned for future competitions' winners and leaders as the season progresses.

[Voltaire] was also, luckily, very rich, in no small part because of his participation in a bizarre swindle devised by a mathematician friend, who, back in 1728, realized that the French government had authorized a lottery in which the prize was much greater than the collective cost of the tickets. He and Voltaire formed a syndicate, collected all the money, and became moneylenders to the great houses of Europe.

Health Benefits of Sailing

Health Benefits of Sailing
Sailing is not only a fun activity to do with your friends and family on holiday, but it is also a great way to get fit and toned up. Manning a sailing boat is probably more hard work than you think, but the good news is that you are exercising without even realizing it, which is what makes it so fun!
Muscle strength and Endurance: The activities that sailing consists of are pulling and hosting of sails to maneuver a boat or a yacht- all of which adds to your muscle strength, shoulders and back.
Cardiovascular Fitness: Sports like running, swimming, basketball, and soccer have been shown to reduce the risk of hypertension, obesity and other heart illness. Sailing, like these other intense sports can also improve your cardiovascular health. This is because of the large amounts of oxygen uptake that happens when you engage in strenuous physical activities.
Mental Wellness and Peace: Being out on the water puts you on a good mood not just because of the calmness of the water but because of the saltiness of the air. The varying moods of a person are largely affected by a body chemical called serotonin. The saltiness of the sea air is composed of charged ions that helps in the body's oxygen absorption which in turn results to a more balanced levels of serotonin. The more balanced your body's serotonin levels are, the happier you're going to be.
Relaxation: The motion and sounds of the swooshing and splashing of water, the rhythmic movement of the yacht and the sound of the wind in the sails can all affect brainwave patterns. This in turn relaxes and soothes a busy and highly stressed out mind.
Agility: The various tasks associated with sailing also helps improve your flexibility and agility. Activities like pulling lines or hosting sails can significantly improve your hand and eye coordination skills as well as your motor skills.
Concentration: Because many people today are chronic multi-taskers, they should develop a deep sense of concentration. With the ultimate goal of staying safe while on board, sailing enhances a person's ability to focus even with multiple tasks at hand.
Communication: To effectively control a boat, the captain and his crew must act as unified unit. To do this they need to learn how to communicate effectively especially through non-verbal means. You can also have a good sense of cooperation and teamwork when you go on a sailboat. Everyone on board has a crucial role to play in order to keep the ship afloat.

Sailing in San Diego is Less than Golf

Sailing in San Diego is less than Golfing or Skiing!
Reasons Why Sailing in San Diego is Less than Golf!
If you happen to have the wealth of a monarch (but lack self-control), you could easily spend your net worth on the sport of sailing. But a valid counterpoint is how smart, eager and creative paupers also go sailing, and they spend almost nothing for the privilege.
In fact, there is a strong case to be made that sailing is among the least expensive ways to have the most fun, ever invented.
Consider, for starters, that in 2009 (the most recent data I could find) Golfer Magazine estimated that the average golfer spends about $3,000 a year on golf. Skiers spend closer to $3,500 a year, according to data published in the Atlantic in 2012. Hunters spend, on average, about $3,200 dollars a year, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
Piecing together publicly available facts from sailing industry sources; by comparison, each sailor spends half as much as golfers, skiers or hunters. This is based on a rough estimate that sailing generates about $6 billion in economic impact in the United States, including boats, gear, services, transportation, soft goods, storage, slips and moorings, taxes, destination tourism, consumables and charters. If you divide economic impact by the number of sailors making it—there are about 3.6 million of us—you can estimate the amount spent by each: $1,667 a year. "Sixteen hundred dollars," you say? "That barely buys a new Cal 20 mainsail, including speed stripes and shipping."
If the numbers seem implausible, you may be among the sailors who spend the most (as a group and as a percent of income). Middle and upper-middle class sailboat owners (mostly baby boomers) represent 40% of all sailors, we do 35% of all of the sailing, but we spend 54% of the dollars.
We buy most of the newly built and late model boats in the U.S. We occupy most of the marina space. We make up about 95% of club memberships, we reinvest in sails, electronics and safety equipment, and we pay insurance, interest, fees and taxes; in total contributing more than $3.2 billion dollars to annual gross domestic product through our sailing.
For this opportunity, we spend between $17 and $100 an hour, every hour that we sail, depending on taste, technique and target.
And this is why Sailing in San Diego is Less than Golf!

Reasons to Learn Sailing in San Diego!
Considering taking up sailing? Well, there are many reasons why you should learn how to sail. Sailing is an invigorating sport that offers many rewards, not the least of which is that it's simply so much fun. Imagine white sails billowing against a clear sky, the brisk feel of the breeze on your face, and the gentle motions of the boat as it cleanly slices through the water. Sailing aficionados often say that sailing is more than a sport—it's a lifestyle.
While sailing is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, it also requires you to be an active participant more than almost any other type of boating. When you learn how to sail, you'll not only become intimately familiar with all aspects of your boat, but also how your boat relates to its environment in terms of everything from the wind to the weather. This is why learning how to sail can be so fulfilling and can foster such a sense of accomplishment.
It practically goes without saying that the active nature of sailing means that it can be terrific exercise for both you and any passengers who are inclined to help out. While sailing is an active endeavor that can involve its share of physical work, it can also be an incredibly relaxing pastime as well. Sailboats can be a terrific space for onboard entertaining, whether it's enjoying a light lunch or simply passing the time with family and friends.
Learning how to sail doesn't have to be complicated, especially if you invest in a simple sailing course and start out learning on a small sailboat. One of the first things we'd recommend is for anyone looking to learn how to sail is that that they check out beginner sailing schools in their area.

Epic Beards of Review: X-Factor #9 (Comic-a-Day #26)
X-Factor #9, OCT 86 (w) Louise Simonson (a) Terry Shoemaker
Okay, so the Mutant Massacre issue flowchart doesn't help all that much, or I was too into Uncanny to give it much of a thought, but it's not HORRIBLE skipping around. This issue bleeds well into the last two reviews of Uncanny 211 and 212. Feels like more of a flashback or even an "and over in X-Factor!" Kudos for not charging $3.50 for a mega issue.
Freedom Force is after some guy named Rusty and with a name like that it's no wonder he can control fire. Turns out this mutant hunting government agency is actually on the up-and-up, albeit a little rough around the edges. Normal people are stepping in because Rusty and his lady friend look like them, and they're not having it. Then along comes X-Factor and they step in because the normals are going to start rioting.
This seems to be the first meeting between young mutants Artie Maddicks and Leech. It's nice to see some kids meet amidst all this carnage and "seriousness." Friendship is pretty important these days.
The X-Factor arrives in the Morlock tunnels to help their friend Rusty, in their original X-Men costumes. There's a silly juxtaposition here where X-Factor are good guys posing as bad guys and Freedom Force being bad guys posing as good guys. What a conundrum.
And hey, while we're on it (and I know I'm not reading ALL the titles coming out of Marvel at this point, but...when did Jean Grey come back?

Follow the command of Jesus to be baptized as His disciple!
Sunday, September 09, 2018, 8:30 AM - 11:45 AM
Are you a Christian? Have you been baptized?
Listen to the words of Jesus,
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Baptism is the first step of the Christian. It is the public identification with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We want to celebrate the saving work of Jesus Christ in the lives of his disciples here at Village.
If you need to and want to be baptized, Baptism Sunday is the time to do it!
To learn more about baptism read our Baptism Distinctive.
You will need to have attended one of our Discover the Ordinances classes in order to be baptized. Discover the Ordinances Classes are held the second Sunday of every month

Seattle to Ban Plastic Straws, Utensils at Restaurants Next Year
Starting next year, Seattle restaurants will no longer provide plastic straws and plastic utensils to its patrons
Lorraine Chow, EcoWatch
Waking Times
Starting next year, Seattle restaurants will no longer provide plastic straws and plastic utensils to its patrons after a 2010 ordinance finally takes effect.
"As of July 1, 2018, food services businesses should not be providing plastic straws or utensils," Sego Jackson, the strategic advisor for Waste Prevention and Product Stewardship for Seattle Public Utilities, told Q13 FOX.
"What they should be providing are compostable straws or compostable utensils. But they also might be providing durables, reusables, or encouraging you to skip the straw altogether," he added.
Jackson said the city's effort to ban disposal plastic food service ware had been in the books since 2010 but was stalled because compostable alternatives were not viable yet.
"Early on there weren't many compostable options," he explained. "And some of the options didn't perform well or compost well. That's all changed now."
The exemption that allowed eateries to dispense plastic straws and utensils is set to expire and will not be renewed.
The ban only applies to restaurants serving food, as plastic straws and utensils can still be purchased at city grocery stores. Restaurants that do not comply will be warned and eventually fined but eateries will be given assistance with the transition.
"These things take time to get businesses up to speed and in compliance," Jackson said.
As Q13 FOX previously reported, many city establishments, including the Seattle Aquarium, are ditching straws:
Jillian Henze of the Seattle Restaurant Association says a campaign called "Strawless in Seattle" is planned for September. As many as 500 local groups and restaurants will stop using plastic straws for the month.
Even for restaurants that still use plastic straws, Henze said, many are trying to limit straw use.
"They are straw conscious and don't put them in mixed drinks, etc.," Henze wrote to Q13 News."
Plastic straws, in particular, really suck. Scientist and EcoWatch contributor Dr. David Suzuki wrote, "In the U.S. alone, people discard 500 million straws every day, or more than 180 billion a year. That's about 1.4 million kilograms of plastic sent to landfills and into the oceans every day!"
If we don't act now, by 2050 plastics in the ocean will outweigh the fish. Read more: http://bit.ly/2tH7QkSvia Shawn Heinrichs #StopSucking on plastic straws.
由 EcoWatch 发布于 2017年8月9日
Seattle has made concentrated efforts to reduce its plastic footprint. In 2010, a ban on plastic bags went into effect and cut plastic bag waste from residential garbage from 262 tons to 136 tons by 2014—nearly a 50 percent drop. For commercial and self-haul, it was even better. Plastic bag waste dropped from 273 tons in 2008 to 59 tons in 2012.
From plastic bags to plastic cutlery, a growing movement of people, businesses, cities and even whole countriesare pledging to ditch these single-use, non-biodegradable items that clog our oceans and harm marine life.
