Jammu, Jul 10 :
The unending spree of encroachments on the water flowing sources like nullahas, drains and even on the embankments of sacred river Tawi causes havoc every year during monsoon season. Jammuites faced a tough time with the torrential monsoon rain showers. The sleepy district administration keeps its fingers crossed over the removal of encroachments with psychosis fear of the big wigs resulting overflowing of nullahs and drains.
The lacklustrous approach of the authorities concerned was witnessed during recent torrential monsoon rains few days back in Jammu city which exposed the inefficiency of the agencies involved in the management of civic services in the city. Be it Jammu Muncipal Corporation, Jammu Development Authority, Era or Road and buildings department, the mismanaged handling of the situation arising out of the
Heavy monsoon rains……
heavy water logging in various localities of the city infusing a sense of fear in the minds of residents for a prospective flood like situation as was experienced about four years back.
However, the hollow claims of all these agencies about making sufficient arrangements to meet the challenge of heavy monsoon showers proved futile as Jammuites experienced lot of difficulties with water logging in low lying areas of city especially in Narwal Sabji mandi road, Green Belt park, Panama Chowk, Railway Station area, Digana, Preet Nagar,Talab Tillo, Krishna Nagar, Nanak Nagar,Jewel, Rajiv Nagar, Ghorkha Nagar are some of the areas which remain filled with dirty filthy rain water outpoured from choked drains and sewarge mainholes.The situation was so bad on the roads that passersby and two or four wheeler pliers too find it difficult to reach their destination by crossing one or two feet logged water. Most of the link roads in the city blacktopped recently have got damaged blocking the movement of vehicles and common masses.
It is not for the first time that Jammuites have to undergo such a worst water logging situation during the monsoon season but many a times the overflowing of Tawi waters have brought havoc to them causing heavy loss to their hearth and homes. The heavy losses occurred during flash floods four year back in Jammu and its suburbs areas too have not awakened the slackened municipal authorities and others. Had it been so the municipal authorities would have taken a initiative to cleanse the nullahs in proper time. The heaps of flith dumped in the nullahs add woes of Jammuites creating unhealthy environs for the people living nearby the choked stinking nullahs. While as the authorities of the JMC boast of protective measures in case of the any flood like situation in the coming days to face the monsoon showers wrath. But the people are unhappy over the functioning of the JDA department officials who have failed to put a stop on the growing incidents of encroachments so much so the in the recent rains the overflowing of sewerage mainholes throwing out all the flith on the roads too have provoked the residents of New Plot area to take out a protest against the era officials.The washing away of tarcoal has again disheartened the masses apprehending bad days to come. However, under national AMRIT mission the Urban Engineer and Environ department is taking steps to improve the conditions of nullahs and drains but encroachments too come in their way.
Heavy monsoon rains may pose flood like situation if encroachments were not removed

CCTV Comments on FCC's expected December 14th Vote to Abandon Net Neutrality
CCTV Center for Media & Democracy's comments on FCC's expected December 14th vote to abandon Net Neutrality Rules.
Contact: Lauren-Glenn Davitian, davitian [at] cctv [dot] org, 802-777-7542
CCTV Center for Media & Democracy has joined 150 national advocates to oppose the FCC's December 14th vote to dismantle Net Neutrality rules. The national letter in support of an open Internet, represents a broad swath of public interest, racial justice, artist, library, and other organizations. (It is available here and below).
In CCTV's view, the FCC rulemaking is an assault on free speech and local control. Reclassifying Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from a Title II "telecommunications service" to a Title I "information service" will not "restore internet freedom". The proposed rules will erode consumer protections and curtail the free flow of information that the Internet was intended to provide.
CCTV's position has not changed since the first efforts to regulate broadband providers in the Brand X Case in 2005. Broadband telecommunications providers should be treated as common carriers (like phone companies) and not be allowed to discriminate against particular types of internet traffic or content. And most importantly, the FCC should not prohibit U.S. states and cities from establishing their own net neutrality rules.
In Burlington, Vermont we are especially fortunate to be served by Burlington Telecom, a state of the art fiber to the home network that does not need to throttle traffic because it can handle massive amounts of voice, data and video. BT is designed to support a thriving digital ecosystem. We support BT's commitment to net neutrality practices. Furthermore, we urge Comcast, which also serves our community, to upgrade its Vermont network so it can cease the practice of data caps and network throttling.
CCTV and its fellow national media justice advocates stand tall against the FCC's short-sighted action. The expected 3-2 decision to dismantle net neutrality rules will lead to appeals in federal court --the same courts that required FCC to reclassify broadband networks as Title II "telecommunications service" or common carriers. We remain committed to the fight for a TRULY open Internet.

The Honorable Frank Pallone, Ranking Member

Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Chairman Thune, Chairman Walden, Ranking Member Nelson, and Ranking Member Pallone:
A free and open internet is vital to core American values. It affects the freedom to share our thoughts and opinions freely, the ability to organize, and the opportunity to innovate and create. The principle of net neutrality – that all data on the internet should be treated equally, and internet service providers (ISPs) should not discriminate or provide preference to any data, regardless of its source, content, or destination – is what has made the internet the great engine of free expression, organizing, and economic opportunity that it is today.
Unfortunately, a radical draft order proposed by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai would silence everyone's voices and dismantle Americans' freedoms by rolling back rules that protect net neutrality, giving companies free rein to dismantle the open internet. This proposed order would allow ISPs to control what individuals see and do on the internet without strong oversight for consumers. It departs from 15 years of bipartisan agreement from FCC chairs that the agency has both the authority and the responsibility to protect consumers and competition in the broadband marketplace. This is nothing more than an attack on the rights and freedoms of all Americans, and a gift to already powerful corporations. It is especially damaging to individuals and communities that have historically struggled to share their stories.
The current FCC rules—established in 2015 with the Open Internet Order and upheld in court—protect freedom of expression and an open marketplace for businesses to compete, free of interference from ISPs. These open internet protections are tremendously popular. They are supported by almost 80 percent of Americans in recent polling and also by millions of Americans who commented to the FCC and called Congress to keep the rules in place. Since the 2015 net neutrality protections were adopted, we have seen continued innovation on the internet and increasing revenues and investments from ISPs. Under a free and open internet, everyone wins.
In his proposed order, Chairman Pai removes even the most basic protections for all content to be treated equally online. If the order passes on December 14, ISPs will be able to slow down or even block the content of websites for any reason, stifling free speech and skewing the marketplace.
Despite his rhetoric, since becoming chairman, Pai has steadily stood on the side of big companies and made it harder for all Americans to have access to a free and open internet, and created new obstacles for Americans to connect and communicate. He has set out to not only repeal net neutrality, but to cut aid to families in low-income communities in an assault on Lifeline. Under Pai's new policies, the digital divide will only deepen, innovative new businesses will struggle to compete, and the voices of millions will be silenced.
With the vote scheduled for December 14, we strongly urge Congress to stand up for the communities you serve by protecting net neutrality. Tell the FCC to pull the vote for this proposed order. A free and open internet protects a free and open society for all Americans—regardless of race, gender, faith, ability or disability, or socioeconomic status. These values are what make us Americans. We urge you to fight for your communities and our society.
We, the undersigned organizations, representing a diverse group of consumer, media, technology, library, arts, civil liberties, and civil rights advocates, artists, and musicians, urge you and your colleagues to support the current net neutrality rules in place, and tell the FCC to stop its proposed plan to end them.

China has seen an increasing number of mass disturbances over the past few years and most were due to back pay, housing demolitions and land acquisitions.
The book gives an introduction of cloud computing, representing new generation communication technologies and revolutionary changes in the IT industry.
The author uses an innovative research framework and Stochastic Frontier Analysis to examine globalisation, international trade, cross-border investment, international finance, and technological progress - the five major problems affecting the global economy.
The book introduces that strict interest rate controls have existed in most countries and successful interest rate liberalization needs to be realized gradually and may take 10 to 20 years.
The authors offer policy suggestions - based on various studies - to explore how to improve the basic operating system in rural areas and to make innovations concerning the agricultural production and operation system.
The author analyzes the achievements and challenges in the process of China's urbanization, and makes suggestions concerning the improvement of social policies in the process of China's urbanization.
The author analyzes many issues concerning China's housing market, such as its characteristics, government regulation, the main influencing factors, major housing policy tools and their mechanism, and housing policies.
The author suggests that China should adjust its national food security strategic boundaries and build a new food security strategy that is focused on domestic supply and supplemented by global supply.

(This is an old article I put together for The Ripple whilst they were running their "New Music Monday" event.)
My submission for New Music Monday is "The Dragster Wave", by Ghinzu. This song should be instantly recognisable to anyone who has seen the fantastic film Taken.
Ghinzu are an alternative rock band from Belgium, though all lyrics are sung in English. They've become increasing popular within the European music scene in recent years, writing and recording the soundtack for the film Irina Palm, in addition to having their song "Blow" featured as the closing track for the film Ex Drummer.
Keen viewers of the brilliant Taken, the 2008 action-thriller starring Liam Neeson, will immediately recognise the pensive piano introduction of Ghinzu's "The Dragster Wave". The piano solo builds suspense before swelling and bursting into the epic guitar riff that carries the rest of the song. The song's lyrics capture the frantic and emotional aspects of Taken, bringing the film to a perfect close as it plays out over the film's credits.
In the immortal words of Liam Neeson…
"If you give this song a listen now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

Mike Hewitt left this review about The Metropole
The Metropole has a traditional lounge with a selection of convenience beers. It looks out over the sea and is really quite relaxing. It also has "Henry's Bar" which is in a large grandiose Victorian room used for special events like weddings and parties. Henry's bar is excellent for dancing the night away. The Met bar is quite good for looking out to sea and having a quiet drink.

The Pillowcase Challenge
I took part last year in the Pillowcase for a Cause which is a drive organised by the Handmade Cooperative to assist Pillowcases for Oncology Kids. They are asking for donations of handmade pillowcases (or decorated store bought ones) which will then be given to children around Australia who are undergoing Cancer treatment in hospital. You can get inolved too by visiting the above website link. I have a cute idea for including a softie with my pillowcase this year so I'll share it with you in coming weeks.

Sithonia is the second peninsula of Halkidiki. The rugged, exciting landscape of the middle end appeals to nature lovers and holiday makers, who seek refuge from the traps of civilization.
The coasts present a wide variety - a succession of fishermen's hamlets, picturesque little harbors, deserted beaches of all sizes surrounded by trees and bushes. Sithonia is a symphony of blue and green; names do not exist for all the shades and hues of vegetation, sea and sky that you will see there.
But you don't have to "rough it" in Sithonia. There are hotels of all standards to choose from, including the only deluxe complex in Halkidiki with an 18-hole golf course among its many facilities. Tennis courts and water sports can be found everywhere, while riding through the fir forests is unequalled anywhere in Greece. As for nightlife and other entertainment associated with resorts, Sithonia manages to combine traditional beauty and hospitality with modern pleasures.

Attention Parents!! First of all, I want to thank you for enrolling your children with us. The level of trust you place in us to help you guide and direct their futures is staggering. We understand that raising children is not an easy task, especially when the environment is not conducive to their optimum learning. You work hard at home to provide them with the best possible atmosphere to be successful in their schoolwork and other activities. Similarly, we also work hard to try and maintain that kind of environment here in the studio as well.
Because of this, we occasionally go over some guidelines for parents, relatives and other people that might enter the studio to support your enrolled child during a class or other function. We graciously ask that you would please:
- Maintain low speaking levels. If you need to have a conversation with another person who is waiting for their child, please speak in low tones. This will help to minimize distractions during the class.
- Refrain from shouting to, conversing with or otherwise distracting the students on the floor – even if it is your child. We try very hard to maintain their attention. If you would like to help coach your child (or others) in their class, please see Master Forleo or Mr. Johnson. There are many fun and helpful ways of getting involved in your child's training. Taking their attention off their instructor(s) is not one of them. Coaching positions are available for patient and willing volunteers.
- Control your children (the ones not involved in class). If you bring a child that is not enrolled, please make sure they abide by these guidelines as well. If you cannot keep them quiet or otherwise occupied in the front, please feel free to take them outside.
- Be on time to drop off and pick them up. Students coming in late cause distractions to the class that has already started and miss out on valuable information or announcements and the warm up. After class, students left for prolonged periods of time experience distress and anxiety. We are not a day care or baby-sitting service and students who leave the studio after their scheduled class has ended are not our responsibility.
- Sit in the appropriate seating provided. If you sit and watch your child during their class, please try to use the black benches in the front waiting area. The benches along the wall are intended for students to sit as they wait for their class to begin. We understand that there are only a few seats. Parents ARE allowed to watch their children, but we sometimes do not recommend it and even occasionally caution against it. Some children often spend a lot of time trying to get their parents attention rather than focusing on their instructor or their instructions.By following these guidelines, you help us to continue to create an environment that is positive and conducive to your child's optimum learning. Thanks in advance for your continued support and compliance.Respectfully,Master Forleo and the Staff of Shepherd-Warrior Martial Arts
Referral Rewards Program!!
Did you know that you get rewarded for referring new students?
I don't know if you realize it or not, but advertising for new students can be pretty expensive. And after we spend all that money on advertising, we're still not guaranteed to get one single new student.
"Word of Mouth" advertising is still the best type of advertising. And frankly, I'd rather reward you for bringing in new students than spend a ton of money on advertising. Many students have mentioned that their friends, acquaintances, and family members have expressed an interest in their Martial Arts training. With this in mind, I came up with our…
Referral Reward Program!
Here's how it works:
For every referral that becomes a student, you'll get your choice of ONE of the following, absolutely FREE:
- A $25 Toy's R Us gift certificate
- A $25 gift card for Applebee's, The Olive Garden or Outback
- Two Carmike cinemas movie passes

Please note: On November 22, 2016, a major change regarding the overtime rule discussed in this article occurred. Please see Agency Checklists' November 27 article: Federal Judge Stops New $47,476 Minimum Salary Law for Overtime Taking Effect.
May 18, 2016 — President Obama and Labor Secretary Thomas Perez announced the publication of the Department of Labor's final rule updating the overtime regulations that define whether executive, administrative, and professional employees, so called "white collar workers," are protected by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") as to minimum wage and overtime payment laws.
Of course, most employees within the insurance industry fall within FLSA's general category of white collar workers.
The new rule resulted from a 2014 Presidential Memorandum, signed by President Obama, directing the Labor Department to update the regulations defining which white collar workers are protected by the FLSA's minimum wage and overtime standards. The memorandum instructed the Department to look for ways to modernize and simplify the regulations while ensuring that the FLSA's intended overtime protections are fully implemented.
Minimum level of earnings for overtime more than doubled effective December 1, 2016
The new rule, effective December 1, 2016, raises the minimum level full-time salaried white collar workers must earn before an employer can claim a legal exemption from paying overtime.
The new rule provides that a white collar worker must earn $913 per week, or $47,476 annually, before an employer can claim a legal exemption from paying overtime. Presently, if a white collar worker earns less than $455 per week they must be paid overtime regardless of the white collar exemption (as explained further below).
Basic rule of overtime in federal law is payment of time-and-a-half "unless exempt"
The Federal overtime provisions contained in FLSA state that, unless exempt, employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay.
The new rule does not change the basic law that employees entitled to overtime must earn one and one-half their regular rate of earning.
The new 508-page rule, published in the Federal Register on May 23, 2016, entirely focuses on the "unless exempt" exception that applies to minimum wage and overtime pay for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees. These exemptions are frequently referred to as the "white collar" exemptions.
Employees presently working under the white collar exemption have no right to overtime for work of more than 40 hours
The FLSA's white collar exemption excludes certain executive, administrative, and professional employees from federal overtime requirements. Before the new rule to qualify for exemption, a white collar employee performing administrative duties, the category most applicable to Agency Checklists' reader base, had to;
- Be compensated on a salary or fee basis (as defined in the regulations) at a rate not less than $455 per week; (This number only applies until December 1, 2016).
- Their primary duty had to be the performance of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or the employer's customers; and
- Their primary duty had to include the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance.
Under the present rule, a white collar employee only has a right to time-and-a-half pay when they put in more than 40 hours a week if they earn less than $23,660 a year ($455 a week).
The new rule will raise every employee's right to time-and-a-half pay for more than 40 hours work a week if the earn less than $47,476 ($913 a week).
Presently, white collar workers earning between $23,660 a year and $47,476 may be classified as exempt because their primary duties fit within the executive, administrative, and professional services excluded by FLSA. After December 1, 2016, these same workers automatically become eligible for overtime simply because the annual salary falls below the minimum required for the white collar exemption to apply.
Of course, some employers rather than paying overtime may decide to raise employees' annual compensation, for those employees who earn salaries close to the threshold, over the $47,476 minimum to avoid accounting for and paying overtime. Also, other employees may simply limit the hours worked to 40 hours or less and thereby avoid any overtime issue.
Employee benefits do not count, but some bonuses do, under the new rule
The calculation of earnings under the new rule only includes direct compensation. In the rule-making process, the Labor Department declined to include in the rule's earning requirement payments for medical, disability, or life insurance, or contributions to retirement plans or other fringe benefits.
The rule specifically provides that such indirect fringe benefit compensation are excluded from any salary level test calculation.
However, the new rule, for the first time, allows employers to count certain, previously excluded, bonuses and commissions toward as much as 10 percent of the salary threshold.
Finally, the new rule also establishes a mechanism for automatically updating the salary and compensation levels every three years to maintain the earning levels without regard to inflation and to ensure that they continue to provide useful and effective tests for the exemption to apply.
Labor Department believes new rule will give millions of workers the right to overtime
In the first year, the Labor Department has estimated that 4.6 million workers exempt under the current regulations who earn at least the current weekly salary level of $455 but less than the proposed salary level of $913 would, without some intervening action by their employers, become newly entitled to overtime protection under the FLSA.
Also, the Labor Department estimates that 6 million salaried white collar workers who are currently entitled to overtime due to their job duties, and who earn at least $455 per week, but less than the proposed salary level, would have their overtime protection strengthened because their exemption status would be based on the salary test alone without any need to examine their duties. This, according to the Labor Department, would reduce the number of workers not receiving overtime because of their being improperly classified as exempt from overtime by their employers.

Utilize Space Around the Home to Boost Business Prospects.
With the global economic downturn still affecting millions of people all around the world, it is perfectly understandable to try and find different ways of creating more revenue. Self-employed workers will always be looking for options in order to expand their business prospects and in truth they can be improved by making some space-saving changes around the home and garden.
I believe that simply making some more room for yourself will help you to expand the services you offer and the amount of time you will have spare on these. Storage spaces are at a premium in most homes and you might just have to think outside the box to create a little bit more room in the home.
Start with the garden
The garden is as good a place to begin with as any because in all likelihood it has more dormant space than any other parts of the home. I find that gardens can quite easily get a bit cluttered if you don't keep on top of them and so a general tidy up will ensure that you have a bit more space to work with than before.
You can also get rid of anything that you don't use so that you have as much of a blank canvas to work with as possible.
A metal shed can help to hold all of your tools
While it may seem obvious, a metal shed can help you to keep all of your tools in one place, as well as ensuring that your greenspace is a bit more tidy. The big question that remains is what sort of shed would fit into your garden best. Personally, I prefer a bigger space to work with because you don't want to be struggling to access your shed when all you're after is one tool at the back of it or something like that.
Not only can you store your tools in the shed, you can also give a home to your garden chairs, parasols and tables during the winter or simply when it is raining. The most obvious advantage to a metal shed is the fact that they are very easy to assemble and they allow for greater security, which is important if you're going to be storing some of your work and tools in there for long periods.
Don't let any space go to waste
The key to utilizing the space you have is to ensure that no area of the home is wasted. For instance if you've got a dedicated workshop, ensure you've got plenty of storage space so that you haven't got items lying all over the place which could hinder work. I prefer to have some metal drawers in my workshop to keep all of my odd bits and pieces together, with each drawer dedicated for something different.
Keeping everything in order will help you to use your space as smartly as possible. This can also aid in streamlining your activities as you won't be spending ages trying to find certain tools – they will be in their dedicated home. In truth, all of this is about giving you that platform to take extra business on and deal with that demand, or to expand the services you provide to your customers.

The power of our oceans cycles nutrients across the planet and carves out the landscapes around us, however the full potential of water to supply our energy needs is yet to be fully utilized. 70% of the earth is covered by the masses of water around us, and accessing only 0.1% of this energy Could supply the entire world's energy demand five times over. Capturing the power of the ocean is manifested in a variety of ways, from harnessing tidal energy to wave power to acquiring the energy released in the sea's abundance of chemical reactions. The gravitational and magnetic force exerted on our planet is perhaps the greatest source of energy that we can pull from in our movement towards exploiting sustainable energies.
Estuary Energy
When fresh and salt water meet, energy is released into the surrounding environment, which has renewable energy developers seeking methods to access this source. One avenue of exploration is offered by the release of heat that accompanies the chemical balancing that occurs when fresh water mixes with salt water. Another opportunity is presented when fresh water rushes into salt water, increasing the pressure within the water and opening a source of kinetic energy for consumption. The original environment afforded by estuaries holds great potential as a reliable electrical and thermal supplier of energy.
Estuaries are home to an abundance of chemical reactions, as ions are shipped from one source to another in an effort to balance the polyatomic shells. By placing a device into estuaries, scientists have engineered a system of tapping into the moving electrons and establishing an electrical network. Through this method, bodies of water function like a battery medium by offering a highway for electrons to flow from the estuaries around us into our homes.
Vortex Energy
Like a fish that swims by riding on the currents that flow around it, scientists at the
have uncovered a system that captures the energy emanating from all types of water flow. Historically, renewable hydroelectricity has been limited in its applicability because of its demand for relatively high speed currents. The flow of water over a cylinder, even from slow currents, generates enough kinetic energy to move the cylinder and propel a hydroelectric generator. In turn, this pushes the hydroelectric industry over the obstacles that have hindered its development in the past by broadening the scope of marine environments that can support our energy needs. Supplying energy through these vortex induced vibrations helped the University of Michigan to develop its VIVACE energy system which, despite being in its infancy, is already competitively priced with other sustainable energy technologies like wind and nuclear. University of Michigan
Solar Transport
Absorbing the energy that pours out of the sun is nothing new, but using it to such efficiency that it could power our transportation systems is making waves in sustainable energy. Boats rely on remote sources of energy to propel themselves through the environment, which makes the utilization of the sun a logical avenue to explore. The Planetsolar boat is the poster child of solar transport offering 470 square metres of solar panels that can charge the boat's battery enough to let it cruise at 13 kilometres per hour for three straight days without needing to be recharged. Furthermore, plans of combining solar with other types of built in renewable energy sources have experts predicting the dominance of self-sustaining transportation systems in the near future.

I'm famous. Not quite at all but here's a photograph that I love. My friend Adam Perella took it in Prospect Park recently. The ride down Myrtle Ave to get there was eventful – let's just say potholes as big as craters once I hit Bushwick. There's something pastoral about the setting, which is fantastic especially considering that there was a wedding taking place nearby and some people yelling over a chess game. It brings me back to a project I did of Pittsburgh cyclists posing with their bikes around the city. I ended up parlaying it into an article I shot for the sustainability magazine, Verdure. I'll post some cyclists in the coming days.

Talk About It
There are no comments yet, be the first!
In the built environment, accessibility means designed spaces that meet the needs of people with a wide range of abilities, including those who are blind or who have limited vision. Designing with the blind in mind embraces the movement toward universal design.
The statistical data for persons who are blind or have visual impairments changes daily. This session will deal specifically with how design relates to persons who are blind or have visual impairments as a part of function in their daily lives and in the workplace. We will look at accessibility guidelines and design, materials, and tools that people use in their daily lives to help them.

I stared transfixed as the creature leaped towards me while my body fell backwards into empty space. A hand grabbed my wrist; a hand that burned on my flesh, and another on the black coat that I could feel the heat through while I dangled over an abyss gazing into the blood red eyes of a horse that couldn't be a horse. It screamed and steam came out of its nostrils warming my face. The sound of the scream scraped over my nerves his open mouth showing teeth that were curved and pointed like fangs.
I like this bit. Hotblood was originally more about the Nether Rider than about Lewis. Seriously, sometimes I wonder if he wouldn't make a better primary love interest. All that darkness and riding around on a demon killer horse.

Statuesque Friends, Page Two
Metal and Concrete Pals . . and
This page was last updated on: December 18th, 2004
Julio has this tendency to move from one end of my porch to the other, sometimes to the dismay of unsuspecting visitors! In this case, it was only his old friend Harold, in a mixed mode outfit of leather Police shirt and polyamide rubber jeans: They have the slickness of latex, but the durability of lined neoprene. Alas, red was the only choice of stripe colors! Boots are I
ron Age
metatarsal support, and as heavy (and fun to wear <G>) as they look! His plumbing is more cunningly concealed now, too!
This photo was taken about a year ago, and really shows the sad state of rust to which Julio had succombed! You'll see a lot more of the suit on the
page, if you've not already been there!
Fortunately, a new metal preservative has been obtained for Julio. In this photo, taken just before its application, Julio and I are posing in our best protective gear! He tends to go for the beaten soup can effect, while I prefer padded leathers. I understand those metal-wearing guys end up with a good bit of padding under their iron suits anyways, that is probably not as visually appealing as these!
Wow, what kind of face-off is this? I guess I was reassuring Julio that he would feel better after his anti-rust treatment. Don't know why we've not seen photos of the rejuvenated Julio yet. Maybe with the next Leathers Section Update??!!
Some guys are just
conceited! They're convinced that their birthday suit exposes all of their best points! We do rather tolerate this behavior in Tex, as he comes by it naturally, in a manner of speaking. For many years, Tex stayed in an honored corner of my Lameuse Street living room. Didn't realize how many photos I had of my Maroon Western shirt!
When we do get Tex in clothes, it's almost always some pretty wild gear! I don't know if I could wear the narrow harness as convincingly as he.
He tries to keep it quiet, but Tex started out life in Retail Sales: Actually, he was quite a striking dummy! Someone rescued him from a failed department store and restored his dignity by converting his plastic self to stone! I adopted him in the mid eighties, and he seems to like it around here.
Tex has gotten me into some pretty kinky scenes from time to time! This appears to have been in our gas mask experimentation era! No, I won't bore you with equipment details -- Tex would never stand for that kind of thing! Doesn't he look sharp in a rubberjock, though? He's always liked my laced front shorts from Mister "S", so that makes two of us, for sure!
Finally, we got together in leather, and on Shorecrest Road! Tex is wearing his comfortable trapeze jock, which has been his standard gear for years now. This was an early photo of my Woodlands Camouflage outfit, right after I got the matching cap.

We had a wonderful which is located in in this beautiful small village , with a beautiful view from the house to the sea. House and pool is really nice. You can do cooking in the kitchen but the outdoor grill is not really useable as it is too difficult to access.
Overall we were satisfied with the property and had an issue initially getting a hold of owner to locate the exact location and as well the pool which needed cleaning. Other than that we greatly enjoyed our stay.
Everything simply perfect and Lena is a fantastic host. Strongly suggested.

Stocks, mutual funds, investments need not be words that cause confusion. While you might think it's easier to simply let your parents handle your investments, this is not a great decision. Here are four reasons why you need to take charge and start making your own investment choices right now.
Save now, save right
For starters, you yourself can choose how much you wish to save. It is crucial for you to keep track of your own expenses and plan how much you wish to invest monthly. This will allow you to have the flexibility to decide when and how much to invest.
Better returns
The world is changing by the day. And let's face it: sometimes our parents' ideas and choices are slightly old fashioned. If you are in charge of your own investments, you can choose options that will get you better returns in the future. And who doesn't want that, right?
Prioritise your money
If you make your own investment decisions, you can prioritise where to spend more depending on your needs and wants. As an independent investor, you can decide on the ratio for making long-term and short-term investments.
Learn the market
It is crucial to make your investment decisions from an early age to learn how the market works. The more you learn about the investment market, the lesser mistakes you might make later on.
Making your own investments requires sharp, astute skill sets and an understanding of the market. To know more, log on to www.iwinvest.in

In Asia-Pacific countries, many are concerned about North Korea's nuclear program
- Author: Rogelio Becker Jul 15, 2017,
Jul 15, 2017, 0:23
Despite this optimistic rhetoric from Tillerson, Russia's refutation of US claims that North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on July 4 and opposition to expanded worldwide sanctions against North Korea suggests that diplomacy has done little to assuage Washington-Moscow tensions over North Korea.
What the U.S. should do instead of pressuring China is come to a new policy toward the DPRK, including allowing DPRK to feel secure, meaning that it won't be invaded, it should stop simulating the destruction of North Korea with war exercises, and in exchange ask the DPRK perhaps to cap its nuclear program.
North Korea's successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile has prompted strong criticism from the United States and from governments across the Asia-Pacific region. "We're going to go ahead and push for a strong resolution against North Korea", U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley told CBS News Sunday.
"Simple accumulated data can not be used as evidence to question China's severe attitude in carrying out UN Security Council resolutions", Huang told a news briefing.
The so-called secondary sanctions now being considered are a way for the United States to apply targeted economic pressure on companies in countries with ties to North Korea by denying them access to the USA market and financial system. Along with nuclear assets in South Korea, we could swiftly reduce the country of North Korea to the Stone Age, an assured destruction.
Past attempts have included storing the programs on USB memory sticks or DVDs, and attaching the devices to balloons that are floated over North Korea. In contrast, the Moon administration continues to see talks with North Korea as inherently valuable and has indicated that it will seek avenues for humanitarian exchange with Pyongyang.
The U.S. plan, however, might not mesh with Moon's policy on North Korea.
So never mind the potential nuclear threat to other parts of the globe that North Korea may or may not provide. But try as he might on Twitter or in person, President Donald Trump hasn't persuaded China to keep Kim Jong Un's regime from testing missile after missile during his first six months in office.
North Korean iron ore isn't covered by the same sort of restrictions.
The think tank said images of the uranium enrichment facility at Yongbyon could also indicate operation of centrifuges that could be used to increase North Korea's stock of enriched uranium, its other source of bomb fuel.
"The Philippines is very much involved if there's unstable situation in the Korean peninsula", he said. In a video conference, the three countries again condemned Pyongyang's long-range ballistic missile launch, calling it a clear violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions and a threat to global peace and stability.

text: A few weeks back, a good friend and I went south to Wicklow to take in the sights and to get a break from all my ailments (see post below). The setting was just what I needed for my recovery, as you can see from my pictures. My favorite part of the trip was visiting the Powerscourt Gardens. The magnificance of the gardens encapsulated the beauty of an incredibly well-kept Irish castle. I couldn't have had a better weekend to take in the sites and was renewed and back to my old self afterwards.

"Most of this material is lightweight, to be sure, yet it's also most delightful in the capable hands of West and his players. The opening "Torch Dance" has a rousing spirit. The six movements of "From Foreign Lands" are colorful and characterful, each exemplifying a different country. They reminded me of things by maybe Glazunov, Gounod, or Rimsky-Korsakov. In their time (the late nineteenth century), the "Foreign Lands" suite was apparently quite famous, although today audiences might find the music hopelessly Romantic. Personally, I love Romantic music, hopeless as it (and I) may be. This is a charming and easily pleasing set of tunes." —John J. Puccio, Classical Candor

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies had trouble
finding a closer last season. Now they have two relievers who can
finish games.
Former San Francisco Giants closer Tim Worrell on Tuesday agreed
to a $5.5 million, two-year contract with the Phillies.
Worrell, 36, was 4-4 with a 2.87 ERA and 38 saves in 45 chances
for the NL West champion Giants last year. He took over as San
Francisco's closer after three-time All-Star Robb Nen had
season-ending shoulder surgery in May.
Worrell will earn $2.75 million in each of the next two seasons
and has the chance to make more in performance bonuses.
The right-hander will return to a setup role in Philadelphia.
The Phillies acquired closer Billy Wagner, a three-time All-Star,
from Houston last month.
"Tim is the ideal setup man for us," Phillies general manager
Ed Wade said. "It's nice to be in a position where the two new
bullpen pieces [Worrell and Wagner] combined a year ago for 82
Despite having success as a closer, Worrell doesn't mind being a
setup guy again.
"I said this all along and at the beginning of last year, it's
no different setting up. You have to get three outs," Worrell
Jose Mesa, the Phillies' all-time leader with 111 saves,
struggled last season, lost his job twice and manager Larry Bowa
ended up going with a closer-by-committee. Mesa, who finished 5-7
with a 6.52 ERA and 24 saves in 28 chances, wasn't offered
It's been another busy offseason for the suddenly free-spending
Phillies. Philadelphia got former All-Star left-hander Eric Milton
in a trade with Minnesota last week, and is hoping to re-sign
right-hander Kevin Millwood for the 2004 season.
The Phillies offered arbitration to Millwood on Sunday, and he
told The Philadelphia Inquirer in its Tuesday editions that it's
"likely" he'll accept the offer. Millwood has until Dec. 19 to
make his decision.
Last year, the Phillies signed free agents Jim Thome ($85
million over six years) and David Bell ($17 million over four
years). They're moving into a new ballpark in April and expect to
generate more revenue.
Worrell spent three seasons in San Francisco, compiling a 14-11
record with a 2.87 ERA and 38 saves. He is 39-49 with a 3.90 ERA
and 45 saves in his 11-year career. Worrell has also played for San
Diego, Detroit, Cleveland, Oakland, Baltimore and the Chicago Cubs.
In 17 career playoff games, including the 2002 World Series with
the Giants, Worrell is 3-2 with a 3.72 ERA.
Worrell struggled early in his career, but has pitched well
since going to the Cubs during the 2000 season. He has posted ERAs
of 2.99, 3.45, 2.25 and 2.87 in the last four seasons.
The Phillies' revamped bullpen now includes Wagner, Worrell and
left-hander Rheal Cormier, who is coming off a career year.
Left-hander Dan Plesac is expected to return after getting an
arbitration offer.
"Adding two experienced veteran relievers, with the statistics
they bring and their experience in playoff competition, should help
our ballclub get to the next level," Bowa said.
Philadelphia won 86 games last season, finishing third in the NL
East. The Phillies had a half-game lead over eventual World Series
winner Florida in the wild-card race with eight games remaining,
but lost six straight.
Worrell will wear No. 38 instead of the No. 45 he had worn.
Former Phillies reliever Tug McGraw, now battling brain cancer,
wore No. 45 when he pitched in Philadelphia.
"Out of respect for Tug and the support the organization and
the fans have given him, Tim was more than happy to surrender the
number and go with 38," Wade said.

I was just remarking to someone the other day that it's only a matter of time until Trump has his own Katrina, and that he'd almost certainly botch the response to it.
I didn't have any way of knowing that such an event would take place in a mere matter of days, even though hurricane season was rapidly approaching (as if it were a hurricane), because there's no way of knowing a hurricane is about to hit until shortly before it happens.
Case in point, I had no idea, going into this past weekend, that there would be a hurricane and severe flooding in Houston. But by the time I wrote this, yesterday evening, the city was already fucked the fuck up. And supposedly the rain isn't even half over.
Oh shit!
People didn't have very much time to evacuate, and many people weren't about to evacuate anyway, for various reasons. Some of them were either too old or too poor (or both) to get into a car and drive somewhere else, not unlike many of the people who ended up stuck in New Orleans during Katrina.
And then there's the fact that this is Texas we're talking about. I don't have any way of proving this scientifically, but I'd be willing to bet that Houston has a disproportionate number of people who could have evacuated but instead chose to ride this one out, despite having been told in no uncertain terms to get the fuck out of there.
By Sunday, they didn't have any choice in the matter. Literally all of the highways out of town are flooded. If the few aerial shots I saw on CNN are any indication, the entire city is flooded. People are being instructed to go up on their roofs and wait for what appears to be about eight rescue boats, for a notoriously sprawling city. (Arcade Fire even wrote a song about it.)
A few ostensibly helpful people on Twitter made it a point to note that people shouldn't go into their attics, because you end up stuck in there and rescue crews can't find you. That must be where they found a lot of dead people in the days and weeks after Hurricane Katrina. Tropical Storm Harvey could end up being even worse, before it's all said and done with. I'm not looking forward to hearing about it. In a sense, I'm the real victim here.
Other helpful people on Twitter are suggesting you donate money to the Red Cross, which . . . I guess it's better than donating money to Wyclef Jean. 99.7% of your $10 is going to salaries for rich white people who would be on the phone with the police with a quickness if you made a wrong turn into their gated communities, but at least you know where the money is going.
I definitely wouldn't donate money to any rappers. A lot of garbage rap music came out of Houston in the mid '00s, and a truly unfortunate consequence of this tragedy would be if it were to reemerge. I can't imagine that any of those guys are doing as well as they once were, and this could be an excellent opportunity for them to get their names in the paper, whether it's in the form of a fake charity or a song that's supposedly meant to raise awareness of the plight of the victims.

Remember when the two of you first met?
Remember how the both of you always did things together?
Remember how you felt in your heart?
Remember the dance, the embrace?
Remember the little gifts?
Remember when the first time when the both of you said, " I love you" ?
Remember when it stopped?

The music resonated around them. Leaning against the far wall, she crossed her arms. She was two feet away from him, but he was too close.
"I thought the air would clear your head." He cocked his eyebrow, examining her.
"My head is fine, thank you."
"Aye, and the rest of you is fine to look at too." His thick dialect chased shivers through her.
Her hands smoothed her gown. She caught herself and stopped. At seeing his grin, her frown deepened. "I believe it's improper for you to stare at a lady so."
"Would you rather I stare at you on our wedding night?" She opened her mouth to speak, but he continued. "Whilst you are without clothes?"
"I assure you, sir, we will have no wedding night." Her blush radiated from her chest and spread between her legs.
"You wish to wed during the day then?" He took a step closer. "Very well, daylight will be all the better to see you."
Music and laughter from inside filtered through the night air. He strode toward her.
She braced for his advances, wondering if she had the strength to inflict enough pain to make him reconsider. Part of her wanting to run, the other part daring him closer in challenge. God's toenails, how could she have forgotten her dagger?
A breath from her, he stopped. Her heart hammered in her chest.
His fingers brushed aside a strand of her auburn hair that had slipped from her braid.
The brief touch sent fire coursing through her. Afraid her legs would give way she leaned back against the wall.

INDEX: Design to Improve Life® is a non-profit organisation focusing on awarding, teaching and promoting sustainable design thinking and solutions to global challenges. Among other initiatives the organisation hosts the prestigious INDEX: Award every other year awarding €500,000 to five talented designers. The award had its 5th anniversary in 2013, and that meant rethinking the whole award ceremony concept and creating a new experience for the 1,300 special invited guests from all over the world.
As inhouse art director I was in charge of creating the visual universe around the award and design and implement the overarching concept of "Good News" on a number of different platforms. The aim was to tell the good stories about designers that are using their creative skills in making life-improving design solutions in a serious, concise and visually appealing way.
The award ceremony was designed to be a hybrid between a live TV news broadcast and a theatre production, complete with sound effects, live interviews and a composed news anchor in the shape of renowned Danish journalist Steffen Kretz.
I designed the visual identity and look and feel of the fictive news channel "Design to Improve Life News". Click below to watch the entire INDEX: Award 2013 ceremony. It was filmed at Kulturværftet in Helsingør in front of a live audience of 1,300 people from 35 different countries.
The winner prizes had previously been re-designed from year to year, but I wanted to make one iconic INDEX: "statuette"—like the Oscars—to keep consistency and a stronger brand alignment. My idea was to design a sculpture that could vary in materials if needed but keep the same recognisable shape. The sculpture was an interpretation of the INDEX: colon squares and made of dyed concrete and acrylic plates with foil.
Folded A3 programme for INDEX: Award.
As a spin-off to an existing exhibition concept, a lighter more travel-friendly version was needed to help tell the good stories of the finalists for INDEX: Award around the world.
Inspired by an abacus and its ability to fuse play and learning, I designed three different sizes of cube-shaped installations made of galvanised steel pipes with rotating building blocks made of foam, thus enabling the audience to play and interact with the exhibition.
The challenge was to communicate complex stories about design solutions in very little space, so I sought inspiration in the news media and created a format where the information was structured in three different sections: Design to Improve Life—Global Challenges—Info. To tell the stories of the finalists they were each assigned a cube in the large installation sculpture. Here their stories were told step-by-step when rotating a cube: one side containing a concise, inspiring headline, the next an image of the design object and thirdly a quick response code where the audience could dive deeper into the story if intrigued and lastly a black, blank side.
As a wrap up we created a newspaper with the good stories and achievements of INDEX: where we discussed the challenges and outcome of the organisation's different initiatives such as an innovative education programme, impact investment and the coverage of the INDEX: Award on CNN.
The tabloid newspaper was published in both English and Danish and it was my job to design a publication that could form the basis for a series of publications under this concept. Unlike the typical text-heavy newspaper, I aimed to create a light, easy-to-dive-into editorial structure with lots of images and a clear typographic hierarchy. The mid section was dedicated to images from the award ceremony and on almost every page there was made room for easily digested fun facts and bonus info related to the articles and subject on each spread.

I was reduced to tears, for serious.
Argentina--my Argentina--was robbed of all civillised decisions at their quarter-final clash with 2006 hosts, Germany. With all due respect to the latter, whose team has improved tremendously since four years ago, the Slovakian ref made it oh-too-easy for them to clinch the win.
Of course, Argentinean coach Jose Pekerman must also be held partially culpable for the loss. Removing two creative and influential attacking players in Riquelme and Crespo and substituting them for the defensive strenghts of Cruz and Cambiasso was nothing short of stupid, really. I mean, fine, Cambiasso is known for his goal-scoring capabilities, but only sporadically at best. And Julio Cruz? So what if Argentina was leading? Everyone in the world knows that a one-goal cushion doesn't spell comfort these days. And it's not like you're cursed with England's problems--you've still got terrorising weapons in Messi and Saviola, for crying out loud!
Anyways, I digress. What I really wanted to rant about was the ref. Could he have made it even more obvious that he was biased to the hosts? I'm not saying that the Germans didn't deserve to win, but I am saying that Argentina deserved more justice.
In my frustration, my father (who was on neutral ground) shed some light on me. "Do you think the fact that non-Europeans can never do well when the WC is held in Europe is sheer coincidence? The referees have been doing this for decades, my dear."
Take a moment and think about it. It's sick, yes, but it's the truth. Sigh.
That game was the last straw, and now I'm completely disenchanted with the WC2006. I didn't even feel anything when I saw England perish to Portugal, especially upon finding out that the ref appointed for that match was Argentinean. A commandable choice, indeed, given the long hate-hate history behind England and Argentina in the World Cup.
Someone call me when true fair play is back, please?

Devotion for Tuesday July 18, 2017
Topic: Have The Mindset of Christ
Text: Philippians 3:15 – 16
The word mature as used in our text was translated perfect in King James Version. It implies full grown, as opposed to babes or children. Full grown here is used for me and women who are grounded in the word of God (1 Corinthians 14:20 compare Hebrews 5:12 – 14).
The mature in this context means striving for perfection and not perfection. Our mindset determines our perspective of issues, the way we react and respond to issues. The mind factor here had to do with maturity; showing perfect love and manifesting itself in perfect humility through Christ.
Paul exhorts the full grown Christians to imitate His perseverance, urging them to forsake any claim to legal righteousness. He charged them to seek that righteousness which is through faith of Christ so as to know Christ; to win Christ and to press ever forward to obtain the prize. For us the present day Christians, the mindset Paul expects us to develop is having deep personal desire for a daily experience with God and the pursuit to be like Christ. It should be an experience that can give vitality and meaning to life.
To attain maturity expected of us in this Christian race, we should focus on knowing Christ the more (Philippians 3:8), having righteousness of Christ (Philippians 3:9) and desiring moral transformation which leads to encounter with the resurrection power (Philippians 3:10). This should be our concern as we race towards heaven.
Food for Thought: Christians must live like Christ or nothing else
Memory verse: Philippians 3:15
Prayer: Lord God, help me to have the mind of Christ which is love, obedience and humility
Have The Mindset of Christ

Higher Grogley Farm
Bodmin, Cornwall
A charming cottage and garden for friends or families. Forest walks, coastal yomps, buckets and spades or serious surfing are all near
£150 p/n
How to book
If you have any questions or want to enquire about dates, use our form to contact Janet Shearer.
From £150 per night
From £840 to £1750 per week
A Blyton-esque bump along slender lanes with fat hedges to arrive at this 19th-century stone farmhouse, once part of the Pencarrow estate. Artist Janet (you can learn to draw or paint in her studio here) and cheery Derek have sprinkled house and garden with good taste and creativity: find beautiful art, slate floors, fresh flowers, books and light-filled, serene rooms. You walk straight into the kitchen with its big convivial table, pretty blue cupboards and garden views from window seats – there are all the basics for cooking and a starter pack, but if you feel idle just head out to one of the great restaurants nearby. Sprawlers and telly watchers will be very happy in the sitting room with its squishy sofas, plenty of books and big wood-burner but there's a second, quieter room off the kitchen for escapees – and a utility room. You'll sleep well in bedrooms with a nautical feel – painted wood panelling, striped rugs, quilted bedspreads, old pine; bathrooms are neat as a pin. You're near both coasts for watery fun and stunning walking but it may be tempting just to stay put and have a barbecue in the fecund garden.

A fabulous afternoon spent with my 92 year old grandparents in Janet's studio learning how to use the right hand side of our brains! Fascinating, insightful and so much fun! Plenty of giggles, interruptions by George the affable cat, top tips from Janet and a lovely cup of tea too! Fully recommend the experience and drawing upon Janet's wealth of experience and obvious talent too. Janet, Derek and Ruby have been wonderful hosts, nothing too much trouble and a wealth of local knowledge offered up in a delightfully friendly fashion. thank you!!
A wonderfully cosy farmhouse in a tranquil secluded setting.we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.. Janet and Derek were great hosts, so friendly and helpful. We all relaxed and loved it!
The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Janet Shearer
- A haven for wildlife and other resident birds and animals too. Magical, south facing and very private setting in tranquil Cornish countryside. Secluded gardens bordered by a tumbling stream. Hidden away and off the beaten track.
- Perfect spot from which to explore the whole of Cornwall. Equidistant North and South coasts - beaches, surfing, kayaking, swimming, hiking, sailing, fishing and cycling. Lovely local walks and coastal/moorland walks not far by car.
- Short drive to many fine dining venues - Fifteen ,the Seafood Restaurant, St Enodoc Hotel, the Scarlet Hotel,and many more. Several recommended pubs within 20min radius by car – St Kew,St Mabyn and St Tudy.
- Close to the Camel Trail. Mostly level cycling to Wadebridge, Padstow and the other way to Bodmin Moor. Hire bikes in Wadebridge or bring your own. Mountain biking in surrounding woods if you prefer hills!
- Expert art tuition by arrangement with Janet in her lovely light airy studio nearby. Painting expeditions to beauty spots can be organised subject to Janet's availability. She has years of teaching experience and beginners welcomed.

As luck would have it I have just the right pieces to compare for this post, one of my oldest pieces and my newest released piece both happen to be Metamorphose. Initially I was just going through my wardrobe for a previous post to see which of my oldest pieces would be best to photograph for a prompt for the 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge, here, and I had three that fell into that category from 2006. When I was going back to those pieces and my newest I realized that there was a Meta piece in both, both also happen to be drastically different in style.
The pieces I have are Star Rose Ribbon jsk (2018) and Music Note Bustle Back jsk (2006) so there is a good twelve years between the two garments. The material that Meta has been using lately has deviated greatly from Lolita fashion's origjnal "cotton is best" guideline that the Music Note jsk is made of, Star Rose is made of a polyester chiffon (gasp!).
FUN FACT: the music note motif in the jsk I am writing about has been reused in one of the newer prints, Band in the Forest.
Based on the appearance alone they are drastically different but
One of my favorite things about both jsks is the embellishments at the necklines of both garments. A delicate ruffle is sewn in to give the design a little extra something a detail Meta has done a lot throughout the years, usually in a material different than the main fabric. The cuts of the bodice does vary one with a front panel the other with a princess cut, something that is more a variation from garment to garment over the years and not a major cement change.
Meta has had a history of making pin back bows - Star Rose Ribbon has one for the back as well, which I'll cover last - and this is another example that appears in both pieces, the difference though is the style. Star Rose Ribbon has this gorgeous, large, double layered bow that also has little charms at the bottoms.
Music note bustle jsk has a simple black waist and matching ribbon, the back is another pin back of course, breaking up the busy, but consistent, pattern. I've enjoyed this bow in more than just this piece, attaching it to collars to finish a look, its very versatile. The bow is just enough and plays well with the little bows at the neckline.
First, the waist tie on the music note jsk is not the original, I changed it up to all black because I thought it looked better and...I'm missing the waistlines. However, the are fairly similar in construction to the black and about the same length they are just matching the jsk fabric and are not solid.
Though I do not own any of Meta's more recent pieces I can say from having modeled for them at Rufflecon 2017 almost all of their dresses waistties were done like music notes. I've also peaked at other new releases I covet (cough cough Magic Stone! Cough cough) and notice they have traditional waistties as well. Regardless, I am definitely in love with the style of the pin back huge bow, heavily interfaced to keep it's crisp appearance, with pins in the center and the edges to attach it to the rouched band that attaches via buttons where a regular waistties would usually go. This, in my opinion, would be a lifesaver in trying to make a perfect bow on one's person.
The back bow of this piece also has moon and star charms at the bottoms. The music note bustle back jsk does not but has layers of pretty dote tulle, perhaps a little too light weight and the bottom layer has no solid white bottom tier, this makes it difficult to wear any other petticoat except a white one, as you can see.
Everything from the fabric used to the design is drastically different though both are still good pieces. I do feel like Star Rose Ribbon is a far more elegant piece at first glance but both can be coordinated to be super elegant and OTT, as I am want to do, and still be worked to be more every day piece.
