SGA Club House ShadyGlenApartments
Tue Jun 14, 2016 — Tue Jun 14 17:34:48 2016
This large building dominates the center of the complex. The rear wall is predominately windows, but the glass is gone and has been replaced for the moment be screening. It serves several purposes. First and for most it is a gathering spot where the apartment residents can socialize and gather for various reasons. There is a large sitting area, with sofas and chairs surrounding a large marble coffee table. They all sit within a comfortable distance of a large fireplace which has a large flatscreen TV hanging above it. Adjacent to that is a small kitchenette area, separated by a marble topped bar with barstools sitting in front of it.
On the other side of the large gathering area is a small office area, accessed by a windowed door where the manager and apartment staff did there business for the day. There is also another windowed door that leads to a small fitness room with the usual workout machines as well as some nautilus machines and free weights.
It seems the clubhouse has a few occupants, four young cats. Two calico cats and one gray striped. They are always seeking attention. The gray is named Ramses, the others are Sweetie and Pickles.
It is spring. The weather is warm and stormy.
Once upon a time Genevieve MacKail called a rock in the middle of the temperamental Atlantic Ocean home… and what THIS means is that she is no stranger to imminently cruddy weather. Much of the day was as overcast and broody as it had been the day prior, when she was casing out a house for spoils. Now, the pressure system seems to have shifted and there's a bonefide storm building out there. The wind that is simultaneously warm with chilly breaths; the loamy smell of rain. Honestly, Ginny /loves/ this reminder of her pre-Arrival life; she sees the weather as a great cleanser.
This early evening finds Ginny hunkered down in the clubhouse, having just finished up what she calls a 'shift' in the kitchens. Having made a point to sit near a window, the little woman contents herself with petting one of the resident kitties. There's the barest scent of seafood to her fingertips following her meal prep work, and this is driving the little gray tabby /mental/ as she scritches it's ears. Her green-gold gaze settles, however, upon a small bundle of scavenging spoils that she has arranged on the table in front of her.
Life must go on, stormy weather or not, and Piper's daily life usually has a bit of scavenging in it. A large clap of thunder proceeds her entrance into the clubhouse. She has good timing, no sooner than the door closes behind her than the rain starts to pour from the sky. If the packs she carries, Quinton's and hers are any judge, it was slim pickings where ever they were. Looking over her shoulder out the window briefly she moves further into the room, noticing Ginny as she does. There is a brief wary pause, but she knows she can't avoid the woman for the rest of her life see takes a breath "Hey." she speaks! Unlike last time, even if her voice is soft, which is how it has always been. That hasn't changed.
Everything about Ginny speaks of calm; of letting her hair down, literally. The thick braid that she favors has been pulled apart, letting loose the thick hanks of pale hair. The kitty in her lap is also enjoying this prospect, batting at the tendrils with relish. Ginny indulges the little critter, until he lands a good hold and yanks! Ow! Still, it's all good fun… Ginny may have had a big dog as a companion in her 'past' life, but she loves cats too. Wiping her hands again with a damp cloth, she leans forth a bit — minding the cat strewn across her knees — and reaches toward her wares. Until—-hey, a new arrival!
She looks up once Piper arrives and… /EGADS/ … speaks! Remembering the awkwardness of her first encounter, and the words of insight that Monica offered, her reception of the other young woman is casual and welcoming. If she is surprised by Piper's one spoken word, Ginny does not let on. "Hello Piper," She calls out amicably, waving once. "Come in where it's dry! Just going over my finds… might have something here for your little one, if it would help you."
Thankfully Piper is having a good day today, so while there is obvious hesitation before she begins to move even further into the room, even though it was technically dry where she was. Setting the pack in her hands down and then removing the one from her back to sit down next to it, she eyes the treasures that Ginny has and then the woman herself "Yes?" a bit of curiosity peeks out from behind that stoic veneer.
There, upon the table: a lilac scented jar candle, three medium-sized t-shirts, two small, folded throw blankets. The jar of spices, however, has since been donated to the kitchen. Once Piper sets down her packs and seats herself at a distance she is comfortable with, Ginny reaches forth to grab up one of the small blankets and unfold it. It's about 4' x 4'; wonderfully soft in the way of all synthetic throw blankets, but of a royal blue hue with white stars. In pretty good condition considering, salvaged from a couch in a family home.
Laying the blanket down, Ginny remains thoughtfully silent for a few seconds so as to not overwhelm the stoic girl. "Saw this, it's small.." She trails off, nodding to the blanket. "Good for a little one, very very soft. Reminded me of your boy and I thought, wouldn't it be a nice bunting blanket or something to lay his sweet little head on." She smiles.
"No pressure.. it will find a home regardless. You're welcome to whatever else is here, too, if needed."
She has placed herself out of easy arms reach, like she does with most people that she hasn't gotten comfortable with yet. It takes awhile, there are people here that she has known over a year that she still won't get to close to her, namely men. Quinton is the only male over the age of 10 that can get near and touch her without her getting all twitchy and defensive. Ginny has probably noticed that at least.
Leaning forward she takes the star covered blanket and softly runs fingers over it before taking it and sitting it in her lap "Thanks." she gestures to the rest of the stuff then points to the storage closet "There. Unless….keeping."
Oh, Ginny is a watchful sort… and she can tell that engaging this young woman on terms other than her own would be met with disaster. Originally hailing from a town where everybody knew everybody… and a family where boundaries were blurred… Ginny is used to engaging others wholly. However, she knows /too/ to not overdo it… especially with Piper. So she keeps her exchanges brief, calm and kind… though inwardly she is thrilled that the girl has seemingly accepted her peace offering. Her cheeks color, her smile trembles slightly, her eyes glow… but that is it. "I'm glad you accepted it.. it's the nicer one of the two." Ginny adds, nodding toward the closet.
"I'll put it in there.. I've little need for everything else." Ginny admits, leaning back in her seat and giving the cat in her lap another hearty scritch. She turns her gaze to the bags that Piper brought with her. "Any luck out there, scavenging? How are you doing?"
Over a year of mostly relying on body language as a main communication source has taught Piper a thing or two about reading people, she notes the visible signs easily enough. A nod is given in agreement about the blanket but the question has her making a face and shaking her head "No luck." she echoes in answer to that bit as for how she is doing, that gets her usual hand wobble in answer.
"Well, better luck next time." Ginny says as she pulls some of her loose hair away from Ramses' roving paws. "I didn't do very well, myself… I will be going out again when this weather lets up. I was at a house a few blocks away, yesterday… could really get a handle on who the people were that lived there, y'know? Sad.. but we gotta make do.." She trails off, feeling that pang in her belly. A brief bit of sadness, mourning over whatever happened to the original occupants.
Handwaving, she leans back to continue on. Thing is, the sudden movement is too tantalizing for the kitty… and it LATCHES onto her hair! /Really/ latches.. like.. furry hair ornament. Genevieve yelps, "Ah! HAH! Cat..!!" She cries, out of surprise.
"Lucky you're bloody cute!" She exclaims, amused despite her discomfort. She tries to pull her hair out of the cat's paws and mouth… no dignity here. "Serves me right."
(NOTE: Here is where we overlapped into a scheduled scene, so let's just assume Ginny and Piper sat in extra-silent camaraderie until Ginny had to leave for the bar, for Noah's trading visit.)

full story
It was a benefit to me when I sold my home. I retained my own home inspector to go through the home and give me the 'goods' that a purchaser's home inspector would find. I was able to do some work to take care of potential problems. That was a benefit to me and to the purchaser because problem areas had been minimized.
Home inspectors do a great job in examining areas of a house that can be seen and easily accessed. When retained by a purchaser, the home inspector is in the house with the consent of the vendor. The inspector will not do anything that could potentially damage the house.
The inspector will provide the purchaser with a comprehensive report that contains very useful information about the accessible areas of the property at the time of the inspection as well as some tremendous maintenance and money saving tips.
Don't be afraid to ask the inspector for references and take the time to speak to them. The home inspection industry is a non-regulated industry just now. Like any growing industry, there are good and bad participants. It will be well worth your time and effort to choose carefully.
If you have any questions or concerns, give me a call at the office and I will do my best to help out or check out my home inspector links.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that Drake and Rihanna have some serious chemistry, and it appears that things between the couple are white hot and getting hotter. Anyone who has seen the two music artists together has to believe in love, and the history that the dream couple has goes all the way back to their teen years. Below are just some of the times when it has been impossible to deny that love exists because of #AubRih include:
- The Lyrics to Fireworks- In 2010 Drizzy release Fireworks, and it is no secret that the lyrics were about RiRi. Drake sang "Who could've predicted Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me / What happened between us that night, it always seems to trouble me / Now all of a sudden these gossip sites wanna cover me / and you making it seem like it happened that way because of me / but I was curious and I never forget it, baby, what an experience / You could've been the one, but it wasn't that serious." In spite of these lyrics both musicians claimed that their relationship wasn't serious.
- Matching Camo Shark Tattoos- After the Toronto rapper and the Barbados beauty visited an aquarium together the pair had matching cam shark tattoos inked. Rihanna has her tattoo on her ankle while Drake had his placed on his arm but the significance of the matching tattoos was not lost on fans.
- The 2013 Strip Club Visit- When Drizzy and RiRi hit a strip club in Houston in 2013 the pair dropped more than $17,000 during their visit, although it is not known who footed the bill for the trip. Most fans believe that Drake picked up the tab in a move meant to impress his date for the evening.
4.The Brit Awards Work Performance- When the musical couple performed Work at the Brit Awards shortly after the track video was released no one could deny how strong the chemistry between these two really was. After the performance ended Drake literally gave a bow to the beautiful singer to show his devotion.
- The Video for Work- The videos for Rihanna's hit song Work features Drizzy, and the pair really steamed things up. Both videos for this track are so hot that fans who watched them could feel the heat and the chemistry between both musicians was visible.
- Their First Video Together. Late in 2010 Rihanna and Drake did their very first song and video, What's My Name, and the steamy performance that they both gave was off the charts. This was the beginning of their chemistry and it set the tone for the rest of their interactions.
- Whenever Rihanna Shares a Stage With Drake- Every single time that Drizzy brings RiRi onstage with him it is impossible to miss just how smitten the 6 god is with the songstress, The love between the two can not be denied.
- The Miami VMAs- During the Miami VMAs Drake was very verbal about how he feels about Rihanna, announcing his love in front of the entire world. This declaration shows that the two are serious in spite of their many denials.
- Take Care- The Take Care video featuring both Drizzy and RiRi meant another year and another steaming hot video. There is no way that these two can pretend and fake the obvious chemistry that they have.
- Drizzy;s Rihanna Impersonation on Saturday Night Live- When Drake was the guest on Saturday Night Live the actor and rapper impersonated Rihanna so lovingly that anyone could tell he is smitten with her.
- The Billboard Drake Made for Rihanna- Drizzy actually bought RiRi a billboard showing his affection and devotion, and then she hearted him and Instagrammed the billboard for the entire world to see.

Comment "COY Apron" on Coral Bay Airport, Australia
Tue, 25 Apr 2017
The apron for YCOY is at the South Western end, there are 2 Cessna's that park up near the "bowser", there is a third (and maybe fourth) tie down directly behind them (old tyres and rope).
AVGAS is NOT available, closest available is YCAR roughly 100nm South (Self serve bowser, security controlled AP), call the guys at Ningaloo Reef Dive and talk to the Chief Pilot (currently Paul) for any info.
We flew in there in a 172 late March 2017, was a beautiful strip and an amazing approach, Enjoy!

Dear Dane Christopher,
I know you're thinking your mother doesn't love you, because it has taken me almost two months to blog about your ninth birthday. I promise it's not true. In my defense, I haven't even gotten around to blogging about Christmas yet. You had a great ninth birthday, Dane-o. As your birthday fell on a Saturday this year, the celebration started a couple of days earlier. 'The Hobbit' came to theaters that weekend, and your daddy took you to the midnight premier late on Thursday night. Daddy and I decided to let you stay home from school that Friday as a special treat, instead of subjecting your teacher and classmates to a grumpy sleep-deprived boy the next morning. Unbeknownst to us, you had told your entire school, including your teacher, that you "were skipping school Friday because I'm going to see the Hobbit with my dad". Great. We are the parents taking our then 8-year old to see a PG13 movie at midnight on a school night. Your (awesome) teacher apparently replied to you, "The Hobbit was one of my favorite books that my dad used to read to me when I was younger" instead of reporting us to the truant officer. That Thursday night, you went to bed promptly at 8pm, getting a short nap in before your excited Daddy woke you up at 10pm to go stand in line at the movie theater. He said you stayed awake through the whole movie, and that the two of you had a great time. Welcome to being a 9 year old, Dane.
When we started planning your birthday festivities about a month before, you decided that you would rather accept a wad of cash in lieu of a party with your friends. So far, this is one of my favorite birthday traditions that we have started with you kids. You got a few small gifts from us, including a Tim Tebow jersey (the hat wasn't one of your gifts. The hat is what happened when your dad went to a garage sale)
and a book for all of your football cards,
then planned and plotted how exactly to spend your $100 in cold hard cash. Your purchases? Two football video games and this t-shirt:
We took you to JAX for burgers for your birthday lunch, and you spent a couple of hours playing football at a friend's birthday party. Ugly birthday cake was consumed for at least three meals that weekend.
You love video games, and would play them 24/7 if that pesky "school" didn't get in the way. You are only allowed to play them on weekends, so during the weeks you busy yourself with football and reading. In fact, you read so much during the school day that they have allowed you three library books at a time, but you can only go to the library once a day. Aidan Cooper is still your best friend in the whole world, whether you admit to it or not.
So Happy, Happy (belated, yes) Birthday, Dane Christopher! We love you so much and are so proud of you!

Getting very good feedback so far on the article… Enjoy!
Netflix creating the "Movie Genome" and we love it!
The Atlantic has an excellent article on how Netflix leverages a "micro-categorization" strategy with over 76,897 micro-genres! This is a superb example of how to use the metadata technique of categorization (or the creating of taxonomies) to organize a body of information. Of course, the library system (with the Dewey Decimal system) and Museums (with curation of collection metadata) have been using this very same technique for years but with less fanfare and never to this level of granularity. I go into detail in my book, Information As Product, about this metadata technique.
Finally, this technique is similar to how well Pandora and other music recommendation sites leverage metadata to create the "music genome". Netflix is taking movie metadata to that same level to enable fine-grained recommendations of what type of movies you like. My Netflix categories show movies under these types:
My son has even more interesting categories like: "Exciting East Asian TV Shows".
This excellent use of categorization is not only good information management, it is good business. This helps Netflix not only determining what you may like to watch but it also helps determine what type of movies are popular so Netflix can target original content in those categories (this is how it was so confident that their original series "House of Cards" would be so popular). Leveraging Cloud Computing, Big Data and "Big Metadata" is why Netflix continues to lead in the entertainment market!
Ars Technica today reported a hypervisor hack for the site openSSL.org which was defaced. Originally, the confusion was the fault of the openSSL folks who reported the hypervisor as the cause of the defacement. The openSSL have now updated their report to state that poor password security allowed a hacker to access the hypervisor management console of their service provider which then led to the vulnerability and the defacement.
Why is this relevant? It shows the level of nervousness around the concept of hypervisor security. A hypervisor is the software that enables you to run multiple virtual machines on a single server. It was good to see VMWare be so pro-active in addressing this potential vulnerability and quickly working with OpenSSL to get to the bottom of the hack.
Cloud security is still at the top of everyone's list of adoption roadblocks and therefore the community must be vigilant and pro-active in addressing any potential threats!
After discovering what I considered to be too many grammatical and typographic errors, I temporarily pulled the book to revise it. I had two people copyedit the book with a fine tooth comb (and I read it again out loud to catch errors). It is interesting to note that all three of us caught different errors … shows how easy it is for errors to slip through the cracks.
I am happy to announce the Kindle version is re-released and now available here. The print version will be available again in the very near future (new version is with the publisher). This was a tedious (and sometimes frustrating process); however, it was worth it to produce a high-quality book. That is the most important thing.

Please Pray for Pastor Behnam Irani and all persecuted Christians. May their witness be used by God to bring many people (even their persecutors!) to saving faith in Jesus Christ!
Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) has learned that Pastor Behnam Irani, the Church of Iran leader who was assaulted and transferred to a previously unknown location on 7 June, has been returned to Ghezal Hesar Prison.
Pastor Irani was assaulted in prison by VEVAK officers during the early hours of 7 June after objecting to an irregular summons from Judge Mohammad Yari of the Sixth Branch of the Revolutionary Tribunal. He was subsequently brought before Judge Yari, and charged with communicating with the media.
The pastor was then transferred to a VEVAK detention centre, where he was kept in solitary confinement and interrogated on five occasions for four hours each time. He was warned that if he does not obey VEVAK, he will receive a further sentence and remain in prison for a longer time.
Two weeks prior to the assault, the authorities confiscated Pastor Irani's bible and other Christian literature.
Pastor Irani was initially arrested in December 2006, and sentenced in 2011 to six years imprisonment for "action against the state" and "action against the order."
During his first few months in Ghezal Hesar Prison, Pastor Irani was held incommunicado in a small cell, where guards repeatedly woke him from sleep as a form of psychological torture. He was moved to a cramped room where inmates could not lie down to sleep, before being transferred to a crowded, filthy cell, which he shares with 40 criminals, many of whom are violent. He has been subjected to physical and psychological pressure, and has suffered regular beatings from cell mates and prison authorities, as well as death threats.
In February 2014, Pastor Irani successfully underwent surgery to treat stomach and colon complications.
CSW's Chief Executive Mervyn Thomas said, "While we are pleased to hear that Pastor Irani's whereabouts are now known, CSW is appalled by his treatment by VEVAK officers during his enforced disappearance, and at the additional charge that is clearly aimed at extending his prison term. The political charges against him are without basis, as in reality he is being detained on account of his choice of faith. We renew our calls for his unconditional release, and that he is allowed to practice his religion in peace, which is his right under Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Iran is party. We also urge the Iranian authorities to end assaults on prisoners, which violate the nation's obligations under article 10 of the ICCPR, and to ensure that the officers responsible for the mistreatment of prisoners like Pastor Irani face disciplinary action."

If you follow me on social media you'll know that a couple of weekends ago we packed up the car and went on another family camping trip. I was very lucky in that the lovely team over at Vauxhall had given me a brand new Crossland X SE to drive for the week and I was only happy to put this through its paces to see how it faired on a family camping trip.
We are a one car family so having an extra car available to drive in the school holidays is always a HUGE bonus for us and mean I was able to do the mundane things such as grabbing the food shopping ready for our trip easily without having to walk to the shops with both kids in tow.
I'll begin this review by stating this will not be a techy review, I'll not be going in-depth about what's under the bonnet of this car, talking about horse-power, revs per minute, torque etc. means nothing to me and I'll not pretend to even understand what any of those things are. I am a Mum to 2 children, I need to know how many car seats I can fit in the back, how easy it is to put those in and how much I can fit in the boot. Those are the features which I look for when car shopping.
The car was delivered just before our holiday and as soon as we had had the once over of all the features I added the kids high backed booster seats into the back and went to do the food shopping.
As with most Vauxhall cars this has 2 full back seats and a 3 half seat in the middle, this means when I have the two high backed booster seats in the back the sides actually touched in the middle meaning there would be no room in the back for a 3rd person, adult or child.
As I was off on holiday I needed to be able to utilise all the available space, this meant putting one of the seats down to use that extra space. This model has a 60/40 seat drop option. Of course due to the half seat in the middle this meant I was unable to keep the children's high backed booster seats in the car and had to swap for their BubbleBum blow up boosters which I only really like to use for short journeys and not for motorway driving due to the lack of side protection should I be in an accident.
The Crossland X SE is a small sized SUV, almost like a Meriva with a little more boot space. The boot was a little smaller than I had hoped due to having a spare wheel and a jack in the boot – I am used to new model cars having run flat tires and having a little extra room in the boot.
I was actually surprised at the amount I could get in the boot however but sadly it did fail the family camping test, even leaving some of our usual equipment behind such as the camping stove and gas, replacing with an electric double hob and using the space created by putting down one of the seats there just wasn't any way I could take 2 adults, 2 children and all the equipment we needed so we ended up taking 2 cars – which actually worked well for us as Paul went home when we left camp at the end of the weekend while the kids and I went off to visit a friend.
In the boot I managed to pack: The tent (5 man tent), 2 camping tables, the food, 2 adult camping chairs, 2 children's camping chairs, 2 campbeds, 2 ready beds, fishing rods, a cricket set and a ball. On the back seat/in the back were the coolbox and 4 sleeping bags, raincoats and boots. We later moved the sleeping bags and coolbox to our own car along with the kids scooters and clothes.
This car was lovely to drive and very comfortable and the on-board additions were what I loved most about this little car.
With an in-built Sat Nav it also came equipped with Vauxhall OnStar which is a button you press which will automatically connect you to an advisor who can help with and questions or enquiries, for example if you need to know where the nearest petrol station is you can use this function and they will not only advise you where the nearest one is but can send through the address to your Sat Nav or text it to you. You can also use this feature if you have a flat tyre or to find out the tyre pressure etc.
If you were to have a crash and the airbags deploy you would automatically be contacted in the vehicle by an OnStar advisor, and if you were unable to answer the emergency services would be sent to you location. There is also an SOS button which goes through to an advisor who can detect your location and send help should it be needed.
This also has 4G Wi-Fi enabled in the car, which you can connect up to 7 devices to – a genius idea for keeping the children amused on long car journeys as they can happily play their games or watch Netflix without disturbing the driver, you can also connect your phone to the car for hands free calls, text messages can be read by the cars computer so you aren't tempted to look yourself and you can connect up your media to listen to your own music.
The features I liked best in this car were the parking cameras and sensors, it has these on the front and the back which is always helpful when parking or turning around in tight spots and great when you have a new car you aren't used to driving. The sensors beep when you are close to an object and get louder and faster the closer you get, you also see lines on the coloured screen to show how close you are. When reversing there are parking cameras and not only can you see the road behind you on the screen in front of you but when parking in a bay it will display the parking bay and show you if you are straight in the bay and exactly where the car is within the bay – I found this very strange the first time I used it however after a few goes I actually learnt to trust it and it was a godsend for tight gaps and I am now left really wanting this feature in our own car. It also shows you how close to the curb you are when parallel parking.This is actually an added extra which can be added for a cost of £680.
The other feature I used a lot was the child locks, usually you engage these on the back doors which a push of a switch or a turn of a key, however on this you can push a button near to the gearstick to lock then and then unlock them, this is really handy if you have adults who sit in the back at times as it's rather annoying for them to have to wait to be let out of the car. It also has a feature on the dash which lets you know the speed of the road you are driving on which can be handy for roads which change the speed limits multiple times and you may have missed the signs, this is displayed above the speed you are driving (of course it doesn't display changes on the motorway for example if there has been an accident and the speed limit temporarily changed).
This is a car I really liked driving, the front seats are adjustable as is the steering wheel which is rather handy if like me you are short and there is an arm rest on the drivers seat which make for a rather comfy driving position, there is also a proper hand brake which I'm now not used to as ours doesn't have one and a start/stop engine.
With an on the road retail price of £18,715 this is a lovely family car for a small family or those not needing to get 3 car seats into the back. The car I drove had a lot of added extras so had a retail value of £21,865 as it had metallic paint, the parking cameras, spare wheel, upgraded Sat Nav, premium lighting pack (I've no idea what that actually is though) and a few other things.
I was certainly sad to give this one back and the children loved it just as much as I did. I used to have a Landrover when I was Nannying, not something I would need now but I have been missing it lots, this would be a lovely alternative for me and I really do love the higher seating position and the kids being a little higher means they have more visibility.

You never know where the inspiration for our next boot will come from. In the case of the Women's Firenzy Breve II Boots from Sorel, it presented itself in the form of a retro 1970s ski jacket. This gorgeous and oh-so-groovy winter boot maintains the vintage flair of its predecessor with stripes of rich leather and suede, colorful micro piping and a fun metal logo tag. Accompanying all this fashion is plenty of function, like fully waterproof construction, a full front zipper, cozy insulation around the foot and a tough herringbone outsole for sure footing.

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) ELISA Kit
- Created on the 6 May, 2017.
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) which can also be referred to as gelatinase B, type V collagenase or 92 kD type IV collagenase, are members of the group of secreted zinc metalloproteases. It is a matrixin which is involved in degrading extracellular matrix, allow angiogenesis and tumor invasion. Human MMP9 pro-enzyme consists of five domains: amino-terminal pro-peptide, carboxyl-terminal hemopexin-like domain (conserved) and the zinc-binding catalytic domain.
MMP9 is predominantly known to be expressed in macrophages, neutrophils and mast cells and together with elastase is a regulatory factor in the migration of neutrophil across the basement membrane. Gelatinase B, has been identified to have proteolytic activity against connective tissue proteins and it has be indicated to be vital in the process of connective tissue remodelling which is linked with plaque rupture and atherogenesis. Elevated levels of MMP-9 are discovered in cases of focal brain ischemia and rheumatoid arthritis.
Human MMP-9 ELISA kit can be used for measuring in vitro quantitative concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (gelatinase B, MMP9, 92 kD type IV collagenase or type V collagenase) in human cell lysates, serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant and many other biological fluids. This assay has a minimum sensitivity limit of 15.12 ng/mL.
The minimum detection sensitivity level of human MMP-9 (type V collagenase, gelatinase B, 92 kD type IV collagenase) using this human matrix metalloproteinase-9 ELISA kit was 15.12 ng/mL. The dynamic assay range for this kit is 30.0 – 9,000 ng/mL.

Argumentative Essay About Cybercrime Law
Folks were to become requested which and if your research is going to be conducted today they must be imposed a tighter and harder punishment, a person who steals a bank or perhaps a one who commits fraud using the usage of an internet. Cybercrime is defined as a crime determined on the web using pc sometimes as a resource or as being a qualified target. A cybercrime is deemed committed against a person when it causes significant injury to an individual. According to the Un Guide on Reduction and Handle of Computer-Related Offense, cybercrime is more intensive and now incorporates actions that increase to unauthorized entry, sham, child pornography.
The Council of the Cybercrime Treaty in Europe uses the definition of cybercrime in relation to crimes that range to copyright and information infringement from criminal action against knowledge. Essentially, cybercrime is divided into the following classes: a) cybercrimes against folks, w) cybercrimes against property and d) cybercrimes against government.
Cybercrime is defined as a crime determined on the internet applying pc possibly being a software or as being a victim that was targeted. When it causes severe damage to an individual, a cybercrime is deemed committed against a person. According to the Un Guide on Elimination and Control of Computer Related Offense, cybercrime is considerable and today incorporates actions that increase to fraud, unauthorized entry, child porn.

Renovations can be lots of fun for designers, can brighten up and revamp a space, can provide security in the form of a new roof and can help to customize a home. However, renovations can also be a mess. There is sheet rock, piping, sheet metal, flooring and other debris which comes from a remodel. Before getting tangled in a project, be sure to have the right trash bin at your work site to make organization and clean up a breeze.
Bin Delivery and Scheduling
When scheduling a big project, dates and such will be something which are poured over and decided with certainty. In this case, you know when you want to rent a trash bin and you will be able to schedule it. For homeowners concerned with smaller projects, you may not know that you want to clean out the garage until the inspiration hits. In these instances, it is helpful to be able to rent a trash bin the day before or the day of a project. At Budget Bin, when you order the bin before noon, we will get it to you that day. All you need to know is what kind of bin which you want to rent.
Big Projects
For a full scale remodel, there will surely be a lot of stuff which is being removed. Walls are being demolished, floors are being leveled and new stairs may even be installed. When a whole house or business is being gutted and redone, a roll off container will be the trash bin of choice. These bins range in size from 15 cubic yards to 40 cubic yards. The side doors are perfect for giving team members walk in access for disposing of everything from the sheet rock to the kitchen sink.
Working From Above
Part of the issues with working on a roof, is filling a bin. Tossing shingles and bricks off the roof can cause a lopsided filling. Before you know it, one half of the bin is full and the other is empty. The problem is, you cannot get to the other side without having a crew come in and turn the bin around. A solution to filling a bin from above is to rent a Luggar container. The V shape of the bin helps ensure even filling. With bins ranging from 10 - 20 cubic yards, there is space for even a full roof renovation. This can save you and your team time and money.
Small Projects
Thanks to the popularity of design shows, many more of us are taking on projects in our own home. When it comes to remodeling the living room, knocking down walls in the kitchen or changing out all of the windows on the sun porch, you do not need a large commercial bin. A DIY project calls for a personal sized trash bin. Mini roll off containers can handle everything from a single room redeisgn to a garage clean up. Ranging in size from 12 cubic yards to 22 cubic yards, you will be able to focus on your project without worrying about a big mess accumulating in the yard.
Knowing When to Rent a Trash Bin
The right bin at the right time depends on your project. From whole home remodels to single room renovations, rent the bin which matches the scope of work. If you are planning a renovation weeks in advance, schedule the bin to come when you need it. If you have been hit with inspiration, rent a bin that day. For jobs big or small, contact our team at Budget Bin today.
Budget Environmental has been providing excellent customer service and quality dumpster rentals since 1993. Budget is also an industry leader in the area of recycling with an extensive recycling program that averts a high percentage of waste from landfills. For more information or to order a dumpster call us today at (877) 217-2697 or order the appropriate bin online today.

Be With, New Directions
Craig Morgan Teiche for National Public Radio Book Reviews
Forrest Gander's life partner, the poet C.D. Wright, died suddenly a little more than two years ago, and this book is one result or record of the aftermath of that loss. In poems that are utterly naked and bereft, elegies, apologies, could-have-beens, Gander grieves and wonders about what's left in his life. "For a loss that every other loss fits inside/ Picking a mole until it bleeds/ As the day heaves forward on faked determinations/ If it's not all juxtaposition, she asked, what is the binding agent?/ Creepy always to want to pin words on 'the emotional experience.'" There is so much pain in this book — perhaps too much, almost too much — but what is poetry for if not this? And there's more life in one of these dark words than in most entire books. Reading this book may hurt, but it will help people to keep living through what they thought they could never survive.

Beyond the Wall
Calthrax Haeron,the Darkener
Age of Heroes
The Ulvogin are a people who live beyond the Wall within the dangerous mountain passes of the Frostfangs overlooking the Haunted Forest and within the depths of their caverns. A kingdom of sorcerers, the Ulvogin were banished beyond the wall for practicing black magic to fight off the White Walkers during the Long Night. Thousands of years later, at the present age, the Ulvogin are an arcanely skilled people and seek to exact a terrible retribution for their exile.
Early Years
The people who would come to be the Ulvogin came to Westeros along with the First Men during ca.-12,000 and participated in the war against the Children of the Forest. The Ulvogin first gained an interest in magic during this time, particularly after witnessing the Children shatter the land-bridge that the men had come across. When the Pact was signed and peace reigned, the Ulvogin sought the tutelage of the Children in the mystic arts. The Children granted their request and for two thousand years, they educated the Ulvogin in ancient arcane lore.
The Long Night
The peace that both the men and the Children enjoyed eventually came to an end with coming of a long winter and the invasion of the Others. The Children and the First Men rose to fight them, but were steadily driven back. The Ulvogin unleashed their arcane powers upon the otherworldly creatures and were able to battle them admirably, but the Others proved to be a stubborn foe and they soon found themselves cut off from the rest of the men. Unable to escape, and with the Others steadily closing in around them, the Ulvogin became desperate. In their desperation, they turned to the dark arts, unholy magicks that the Children had declared forbidden. Through the use of these tabooed arts, the Ulvogin managed to halt the Others and slowly began to push them back.
Finally, the Others were driven back by the forces of the Children and Men under the leadership of Azor Ahai, the now mythical hero of Westerosi lore. Once the last of the Others had been purged from the lands, the great fortification that would become the Wall began to take shape. The Ulvogin, having finally rejoined with their kin, offered their services in the construction of the wall. However, word of their use of dark magic had reached the Children and Men, and the Ulvogin were subsequently declared abominations, perversions of man who were no better than the Others. The Ulvogin were commanded to leave the lands of Westeross and to go to the far reaches of the North that lay beyond the Wall. Too few to resist this order, the Ulvogin had no choice but to accept their banishment.
For a long time, the Ulvogin knew only misery. While winter may end for the rest of Westeros, the merciless cold of the North never abated for the Ulvogin; each day was a struggle to survive, for it was not only the elements the Ulvogin had to contend with. The Others harassed them regularly, killing and raising the dead in their wake or stealing newborns from their parent's arms for whatever purposes they had, and wildling raiders were a constant plague. Food was scarce, and cannibalism became distressingly common. Only the Ulvogin's mastery of the arcane allowed them to continue to live. These hardships caused the Ulvogin to develop a corrosive hatred for the people of Westeros. Desperate times had demanded equally desperate measures; why should they be faulted for that? The Others had been without any sense of morals, so the Ulvogin had no choice but to match their tactics. The alternative had been death and slavery as a living corpse.
The Dread ProphetRoughly five hundred years into their exile, a single Ulvogin, who is remembered only as the Dread Prophet, announced that he had received visions from a being that called itself C'rathul, more commonly known throughout the rest of the world as the Great Other, the eternal nemesis of R'hllor, the Lord of Light. He claimed that C'rathul had noticed the Ulvogin and was impressed by their tenacity and mastery of the arcane. As such, the god had decided to cast his favor upon them; the Ulvogin would be his chosen people and where once they suffered, they would come to reign supreme over all Westeros.
The Ulvogin, having weathered the harshness of the endless cold of the North, found this idea very appealing. Under the direction of the Dread Prophet, they retreated within the Haunted Forest and up the Frostfangs, the treacherous mountains that overlooked them. It was here that they began to form the foundation of their own personal kingdom. Using their sorcerous powers, the Ulvogin molded stone and metal ore, shaping them into walls and buildings. A hundred years later, the first city of the Ulvogin had been built. They named it Magul Ghoma, the Dread City, and it would eventually become their capital.
Forging a Kingdom
Over the course of the centuries, the Ulvogin began to consolidate their holdings. Where once they had shivered in the dark cold of the North, trying to scratch out a living in the snow, they now dwelled in buildings of metal and stone. When the peaks of the Frostfangs could house no more, the Ulvogin carved their way down into the fathomless depths within the caverns of the mountains, molding it as they went with their arcane might. Thus, the Ulvogin undercities were founded. No longer hindered by the biting cold, the Ulvogin delved deeper into their occult knowledge and their sorcerous powers grew stronger and more refined with each passing year.
Roughly two hundred and sixty years after the coming of the Dread Prophet, the Ulvogin chose their first leader as a unified people. Before, they had been governed by a council consisting of the most powerful sorcerers, but they often bickered with each other on actions to take; a single man or woman was needed to take up the mantle of leadership and keep their fledgling nation from imploding. Thus, the council made a new law: one of their number would be elected to rule the Ulvogin, granted the title of Witch-King (or Queen). The first of these rulers was Calthrax the Darkener, whose popularity with the people and the council allowed him to be voted unanimously to the position.
Jaehaerys's Folly
For thousands of years, the people of Westeros lived in ignorance of the Ulvogin. It was not until the early age of the Targaryen Dynasty that they were revealed to the rest of Westeros. During the reign of Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch sent word that strange people had been sighted. They stood a head taller than any man and wore armor blacker than a winter's night. What caught the king's attention, though, were the reports of these people wielding vast arcane powers; one eyewitness described how he had seen them make a man rot away with a mere touch. Most of the king's court dismissed these claims as nothing more than superstitions brought on by long years of guarding the Wall.Jaehaerys, however, was not so dismissive. He sent a force of a thousand men to go beyond the Wall, guided by the best rangers of the Night's Watch, to find out if these sorcerous people were real. For months, there was no word; then, almost a year after the king had sent the force, a scant dozen men returned, terrified beyond words. They brought tales of horrors the mind should never be faced with; monstrous creatures leaping from the shadows to tear men to pieces, a man's own shadow strangling him to death in front of his comrades, scores of soldiers falling before a single of these mysterious people.
The Ulvogin social structure is almost entirely different from that of the rest of Westeros. For one, there is no gender bias; the years before they had a kingdom forced all of them to function as best they could in order to survive and the notions of men being better than women were cast aside. A woman can do anything a man can do, whether it be military service or scholarly pursuits. Positions of leadership are awarded based on merit, another social element that came during their battle to survive in the North. An Ulvogin has to prove that he or she is capable of handling the responsibility to the one who has been tasked with evaluating them. This is done with careful consideration, for should the one appointed end up failing in their duties, then the one who vouched for them will earn a stigma for elevating someone who wasn't ready. Though they have a single leader, the title of Witch-King/Queen is not hereditary. To receive this position, he or she must be elected from the Council of Grandmasters by the people.
Family is considered very important to the Ulvogin; children are expected to honor their parents, who are expected to cherish them in turn. Marriage is serious matter for them as well. Ulvogin marry out of love and political alliances brought about by arranged marriages are prohibited. Adultery is considered a serious offense and those who commit bear the stigma of having broken their vows.The long centuries of isolation and hardships have shaped the Ulvogin into a very inward-looking people. As such, they care only about themselves and their people; all others are just a means to an end. The countless raids by wildlings and White Walkers have also given them a militiristic mentality; all Ulvogin are trained to fight as part of their education and is considered almost as essential as learning to use magic. When an Ulvogin comes of age, he or she must forge their own suit of armor. Though they may take inspiration from another's, no two suits will be the exactly same.
Despite their harsh nature, there are a number of taboos in Ulvogin culture. Keeping one's word is something that is taken very seriously; breaking a promise is something reserved for the barbaric wildlings and the backstabbers of the Seven Kingdoms. To be labeled an oathbreaker is to be an outcast amongst the Ulvogin. Rape is an absolutely unacceptable act, even to prisoners, as is killing a child; the penalty for either action is death.
The Ulvogin pay homage to C'rathul, who stands in opposition to R'hllor. He is known by numerous titles, including the Dread Lord, the Dark One, the Black God and many others. The Ulvogin believe that only those who serve him are afforded an afterlife; all others are simply consigned to a realm of cold darkness, or damned to an eternity of torment if they offended the Void Lord. C'rathul is believed to hold dominion over creatures normally associated with evil; therefore, spiders, bats, ravens and snakes are considered sacred to the Ulvogin and are often kept as familiars.
As servants of C'rathul, the Ulvogin directly oppose those who worship R'hllor. As far as they are concerned, the Lord of Light is nothing more than a thief who stole his power from the Dread Lord and a petty tyrant who needs his subjects to be utterly dependant on him for everything. The Ulvogin despise those who give praise to the Lord of Light, regarding them as weaklings begging for scraps of power and help with the most trivial of things from their patron god.
It would be a much simpler task of listing those that the Ulvogin don't hate. Their hatred of almost all others is perhaps their most defining trait.
The Others
If one were to ask what the Ulvogin hate the most, he would be given the same answer: the Others. The Ulvogin consider them to be their greatest of enemies; given a choice to kill a wildling or a White Walker, an Ulvogin would choose the latter every time.
Free Folk
"Why do we fear them more than the White Walkers? Because they have something those pale ghouls don't have: imagination. The most a walker will do is kill you and raise your corpse. Ulvogin, though, they'll do far worse; nothing is darker than the mind of man, especially when he's had years to ruminate."
- -Mance Rayder
Wildlings are the second-most hated enemies of the Ulvogin. They regard the Free Folk as nothing more than parasites, stealing whatever they can from their betters, or as cattle to be harvested at their whim. As such, the many wildling tribes and clans are often the victims of raids by the Ulvogin, where they take men as subjects for horrific experiments while the women are used to breed the Dreadspawn, the Ulvogin's monstrous soldiers and slaves. In turn, the wildlings have developed a powerful fear of them; some would say that it eclipses their fear of the Others.
House Stark
Though The Ulvogin despise all those who dwell behind the Wall, they hold a particular animosity towards House Stark. Before the Long Night, the two had been very close, but when it was revealed that the Ulvogin had resorted to black magic to combat the Others, it was the Starks who called most virulently for their banishment. When the Ulvogin pleaded that they had been left with no choice if they were to survive, Bran the Builder himself said, "Better you had all died then sully yourselves so." For the Starks, there was no gray area, only black and white; the Ulvogin were guilty of practicing dark arts, and so were now no better than the Others. Since then, the Ulvogin have vowed to destroy House Stark, root and stem.
CharacteristicsIn appearance, the Ulvogin are invariably tall, with men easily reaching seven feet or more and women being well over six, and pale, for sunlight rarely filters through the clouds that loom over all that exists beyond the Wall. Their hair is generally black in color, though some bear auburn locks and is typically worn long. Blonde hair is all but nonexistent within the Ulvogin. Their clothing is comprised almost entirely of dark and dull colors, including gray, black, and deep red. Men do not grow out their facial hair, regarding beards and other such features as marks of primitive savages.
As a result of their continuous studies of the occult, Ulvogin have been granted a number of enhanced physical traits. They are also very long-lived, with the average lifespan reaching up to 700 years and often even longer. Priests of the Black God have the greatest longevity of all Ulvogin, each one having lived well beyond a millennium. The oldest of these was Zarovun Naelex, who was recorded to have reached two thousand years.
Each Ulvogin will invariably be skilled in the mystic arts, and even the weakest sorcerer will be a potent enemy. Some may choose to specialize in one or two fields and perfect them, while others may choose to be a jack of all trades, balancing out numerous different fields.
Arcane Knowledge
While magic has atrophied throughout much of the world and is mostly practiced by simple performers and dabblers with delusions of granduer, the Ulvogin remain the forerunners of occult practices, delving beyond what any others have dreamed or even dared. Not even ancient Valyria, where magic was commonplace, could rival the Ulvogin's mystical powers. Thousands of years of study and experimentation in the mystic fields have given the Ulvogin vast reserves of power. Indeed, it is doubtful that any outsider could ever hope attain the levels of esoteric knowledge that they possess. For the Ulvogin, magic is a tool, no different from a shovel or a pickaxe, and so even what others would consider to be the blackest and most unholy magicks are openly utilized.
The Ulvogin became intimately familiar with this field of magic during their many battles with the Others during the Long Night. Any slain who were not burned would rise up as their thralls, bolstering the forces of the Others. Rather than simply burn their dead before the Others could raise them as wights, the Ulvogin instead did it themselves, allowing them to field their own army of undead. The Children of the Forest considered this field to be among the most terrible forms of magic and practicing it the most grievous sin against nature that one could commit; this was the main reason for the Ulvogin's banishment. Today, they are not limited to simply raising the dead. An Ulvogin sorcerer can use Necromancy to make the flesh rot away from a foe's bones, drain the very life from a man, or even conjure a plague to infect a village.
Blood Magic
Blood is the key to life, and to master this power is to master life itself. At its most benign, blood magic can be used to cure disease and heal the gravest of injuries, even restoring a man back to life if done quickly enough. The Ulvogin, as with their other arts, have twisted it to serve much fouler purposes as well. With a gesture, an Ulvogin can make the blood boil and burst from the veins of a victim, or create a weapon out of crystallized ichor. A truly skilled practitioner of blood magic can even mold flesh and bone in their hands as though it were clay, turning a subject into a grotesque mockery of its former self.
Shadow Manipulation
Though the disciples of the Lord of Light may claim that the shadows serve him, all darkness truly belongs to the Void Lord C'rathul and thus true mastery over them is possessed by the Ulvogin, his chosen people. It is in this field that the Ulvogin are perhaps the most skilled; they can do virtually anything with this power, from making a person's own shadow strangle him to death, or meld with ambient darkness to strike from anywhere. It is also considered to be a holy art, for the Lord of the Abyss revels in all that is dark; his priests are among the most proficient masters of this art, unparalleled even amongst their brethren. From ambient shadows, they can create weapons of pure darkness or even living creatures to tear their foes apart.
In the past, members of the Alchemists' Guild boasted power enough to transmute metals and even create living creatures of fire. Like much of the other arcane arts, such power has long since withered away to a shadow of its former self throughout Westeros. Not so with the Ulvogin. They too can transmute metals as they see fit; worthless elements can be remade into valuable ones, such as lead becoming gold. They can also brew potions of incredible potency, often to enhance their powers. It is through the craft of alchemy that the Ulvogin created voidsteel, a metal so black that looking at it is like staring into a void. This magical alloy is used to make the weapons and armor of the Ulvogin and rivals Valyrian steel in strength, weight and quality.

City boss Steven Pressley admitted he has made plans for when the transfer embargo is lifted...
Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has reiterated he will only 'sign the right type of player' and not rush into the market once the transfer embargo is lifted.
The City boss is currently preparing his squad for their first pre-season test against Blue Square Premier side Nuneaton Town at Liberty Way this Saturday.
The squad are going through their second week of pre-season training to prepare for the 2013/14 League One season which starts at Crawley Town on August 3rd.
Despite the club currently under a transfer embargo, Pressley admitted he has made plans to get players into the club, but only if they are the right type of player.
The Scot said: "I remain hugely optimistic about the season ahead having seen the committment and desire from the players' level of fitness this pre-season.
"I am aware we are thin on the ground and there is no doubt that we need to bring players into the club, and we have made plans for that.
"I will only bring in the correct professionals though. It is about bringing in the right personnal who will enhance the squad and add to what we deliver on the pitch.
"It is no secret we have got a reduced budget this season but that doesn't, and won't, mean the team can't make the supporters proud of what they see from Coventry City."
With a strong core of local and Academy players in the side, Pressley believes the 'unity' that brings is invaluable.
He continued: "I will still expect high standards and the players know that. I have been really encouraged by the standards the players have shown so far.
"The fitness levels are far ahead of what I would expect for this stage of pre-season and that is exactly what you ask for from your squad.
"We have a lot of young players and we do need to bring in some experienced professionals to complement that.
"However, when you bring players in through the Academy, the unity that brings is something money can't buy. There will be no excuses from us and fans should expect us to deliver a very high standard."

M.A.D.E. -- Measurement and Analysis of Distribution Environments
Minutes of Meeting April 16, 1998, Orlando

Meeting was called to order at 3:15 PM
1. Introductions - new members were introduced and welcomed
2. Phase alpha - Marcondes went through the final report on phase alpha and pointed out the major obstacles encountered in this phase, all detailed in the report. There was some discussion on the accuracy of the units, and suggestion for additional studies in phase alpha before going to phase beta. However, the group felt that, in spite of the disagreements, the data is valid and phase beta should move forward. Marcondes will contact the sub-committee chairs for an update on the test plan;
3. Phase Beta Resources
3.1. Recording units: Kipp reaffirmed that Lansmont will provide 12 units and IST agreed to do the same.
3.2. Other resources needed to proceed: Lancaster will provide the dummy products to make the 20 lb. packages. Marcondes will contact Tharco to obtain the shipping boxes and foams. Federal Express and UPS agreed to continue supporting the project by waving shipping charges. Accounts and needed paperwork will be the same as in phase alpha.
3.3. Revised Test Plan: Senders and receivers are required. Marcondes will contact administration and test plan subcommittees chairs for a revised version and to determine the senders and receivers. The equipment committee will contact Lansmont and IST regarding algorithms development. Lansmont and IST agreed to look at new recording parameters to address "event storms" issues and capture more information after each event (longer recording window after triggering). Kipp and Hoshal agreed that the threshold for impact recording was too low for phase alpha and it should be increased. No specifics were determined.
4. Review of sub-committee participation
A sign up sheet was passed to all ISTACON attendees. New members have joined. Membership list needs update.
Meeting ended at 5:30 PM.

Bastiat's original parable of the broken window from Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas (1850):
Have you ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper, James Goodfellow, when his careless son has happened to break a pane of glass? If you have been present at such a scene, you will most assuredly bear witness to the fact that every one of the spectators, were there even thirty of them, by common consent apparently, offered the unfortunate owner this invariable consolation – "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Everybody must live, and what would become of the glaziers if panes of glass were never broken?"
Now, this form of condolence contains an entire theory, which it will be well to show up in this simple case, seeing that it is precisely the same as that which, unhappily, regulates the greater part of our economical institutions.
Suppose it cost six francs to repair the damage, and you say that the accident brings six francs to the glazier's trade – that it encourages that trade to the amount of six francs – I grant it; I have not a word to say against it; you reason justly. The glazier comes, performs his task, receives his six francs, rubs his hands, and, in his heart, blesses the careless child. All this is that which is seen.
But if, on the other hand, you come to the conclusion, as is too often the case, that it is a good thing to break windows, that it causes money to circulate, and that the encouragement of industry in general will be the result of it, you will oblige me to call out, "Stop there! Your theory is confined to that which is seen; it takes no account of that which is not seen."
It is not seen that as our shopkeeper has spent six francs upon one thing, he cannot spend them upon another. It is not seen that if he had not had a window to replace, he would, perhaps, have replaced his old shoes, or added another book to his library. In short, he would have employed his six francs in some way, which this accident has prevented.

I would like to share with all of you this gorgeous Givenchy's Spring-Summer women's pre-collection which features powerful and contrasting outfits. Brand's creative director Riccardo Tisci has created so modern, relaxed and self-confident looks, that radiate strength and elegance. As you can see these silhouettes merging a modern-day Holly Hobbie layered rag doll's look, where are presented A-line shapes and sleek masculinity touches.

Look at those precious printed looks that feature all-over roses, like a flower camouflage. The lookbook is rich of different creative garments, including bermuda shorts, A-line zipped corset-belt-parka combos, relaxed tuxedo pants, full skirts, pajama pants, pencil skirts etc.
My personal favorite looks are khaki cotton canvas trench coat along with khaki cotton pique shirt with zip and net details, skirt with zip details and multicolour woven leather high-heel laced ankle boots and the second one is burgundy nappa leather jacket worn with confetti print black jersey dress along with Obsedia mini bag and black elaphe high-heel laced ankle boots.
