Bacchus with two Nymphs and Cupid - by EVERDINGEN, Caesar van - from Gemäldegalerie, Dresden
As Pride has filled Hell with Devils,
so Impurity fills Hell with Men.
There is no Vice which so much
Enslaves Men to the Devil, as Impurity.
Saint Isidore
"Totum hominem", says Saint Cyprian, "agit in triumphum libidinis". By Lust, the Devil Triumphs-over the Entire Man, over his Body and over his Soul; over his Memory, filling it with the Remembrance-of Unchaste Delights, in-order-to make him take Complacency-in them; over his Intellect, to make him Desire Occasions-of Committing Sin; over the Will, by making it love its Impurities as his Last End, and as if there were no God. "I made a Covenant with my Eyes, that I would not so much as Think upon a Virgin. For what Part should God from above have in me" - Job 31:1-2. Job was Afraid to Look-at a Virgin; because he knew that if he Consented-to a Bad Thought, God should have no-part in him. According to Saint Gregory, from Impurity arises Blindness-of Understanding, Destruction, Hatred of God, and Despair-of Eternal (∞) Life. "De luxuria caecitas mentis, praecipitatio, odium Dei, desperatio futuri saeculi generantur". Saint Augustine says that though the Unchaste may Grow-old, the Vice of Impurity does not Grow-old in him. Hence Saint Thomas says that there is no Sin in which the Devil Delights so-much, as-in this Sin; because there is no other Sin to which Nature Clings, with so much Tenacity. To the Vice of Impurity, it Adheres so-Firmly, that the Appetite-for Carnal Pleasures becomes Insatiable. "Diabolus dicitur gaudere maxime de peccato luxuriae, quia est maximae adhoerentiae; et difficile ab eo homo eripi potest; inasatiabilis est enim delectabilis appetitus" - Summa Theologica. Go now, and say that the Sin of Impurity is but a small Evil. At the Hour of Death, you shall not say so; every Sin of that kind, shall then Appear-to you a Monster of Hell. Much less, shall you say-so, before the Judgment-Seat of Jesus Christ, Who will tell you what the Apostle has already told you, "No Fornicator, or Unclean . . . hath Inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ, and of God" - Ephesians 5:5. The Man who has Lived-like a 'Brute', does not Deserve-to Sit-with the Angels.
Most Beloved Brethren, let us Continue-to Pray to God, to Deliver us from this Vice; if we do not, we shall Lose our Souls. The Sin of Impurity brings-with it, Blindness and Obstinacy. Every Vice produces Darkness-of Understanding; but Impurity produces it in a Greater Degree, than all other Sins. Fornication, and Wine, and Drunkenness, take-away the Understanding" - Hosea 4:11. Wine Deprives us of Understanding and Reason; so does Impurity. Hence, Saint Thomas says that the Man who Indulges-in Unchaste Pleasures, does not Live according-to Reason. "In nullo procedit secundum judicium rationis". Now, if the Unchaste are Deprived-of Light, and no-longer See the Evil which they do, how can they Abhor it, and Amend their Lives? The Prophet Hosea says, that being Blinded-by their own Mire, they do not even Think-of Returning-to God; because their Impurities take-away-from them, all Knowledge of God. "They will not set their Thoughts to Return-to their God: for the Spirit of Fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not Known the Lord" - Hosea 5:4. Hence Saint Lawrence Justinian writes, that this Sin, makes Men 'Forget' God. "Delights of the Flesh induce Forgetfulness of God". And Saint John Damascene teaches, that "the Carnal Man cannot Look-at the Light of Truth". Thus, the Lewd and Voluptuous, no-longer Understand what is meant-by the Grace of God, by Judgment, Hell, and Eternity (∞). "Fire hath Fallen on them, and they shall not See the Sun" - Psalm 57:9. Some of these Blind Miscreants go so-far-as to say, that Fornication is not in-itself, Sinful. They say, that it was not Forbidden in the Old Law; and in-support-of this Execrable Doctrine, they Adduce the Words-of the Lord to Hosea, "Go, take thee a Wife of Fornications, and have of her Children of Fornications" - Hosea 1:2. In Answer, I say that God did not Permit Hosea to Commit Fornication; but Wished him to Take-for his Wife, a Woman who had been Guilty-of Fornication; and the Children-of this Marriage were called Children of Fornication, because the Mother had been Guilty of that Crime. This is, according-to Saint Jerome, the Meaning-of the Words-of the Lord to Hosea. "Idcirco", says the Holy Doctor, "fornicationis appellandi sunt filii, quod sunt de meretrice generati". But Fornication was always Forbidden, under Pain-of Mortal Sin, in the Old, as-well-as the New Law. Saint Paul says, "No Fornicator, or Unclean . . . hath Inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ, and of God - Ephesians 5:5. Behold the Impiety, to which the Blindness-of such Sinners, Carries them! From this Blindness, it Arises that, though they Go-to the Sacraments, their Confessions are Null, for Want-of True Contrition; for how is it Possible-for them to have True Sorrow, when they neither Know nor Abhor their Sins?
The Vice of Impurity also Brings-with it, Obstinacy. To Conquer Temptations, particularly-against Chastity, 'Continual' Prayer is Necessary. "Watch ye, and Pray that you Enter not into Temptation. The Spirit indeed is Willing, but the Flesh is Weak" - Mark 14:38. But, how will the Unchaste, who are always Seeking to be Tempted, Pray to God to-deliver them from Temptation? They sometimes, as Saint Augustine Confessed-of himself, even Abstain-from Prayer, through Fear-of being Heard, and Cured-of the Disease, which they Wish-to Continue. "I Feared", said the Saint, "that You would soon Hear and Heal the Sin of Concupiscence, which I Wished to be 'Satiated', rather-than 'Extinguished'". Saint Peter calls this Vice an Unceasing Sin. "Having Eyes, Full of Adultery, and of Sin that Ceaseth not" - 2Peter 2:14. Impurity is called an Unceasing Sin, on-Account-of the Obstinacy which it Induces. Some Persons, Addicted-to this Vice, say: I Always Confess the Sin. So much the Worse; for, since you always Relapse-into the Sin, these Confessions serve-to make you Persevere-in the Sin. The Fear of Punishment is Diminished, by saying: I always Confess the Sin. If you Felt-that this Sin certainly Merits Hell, you would Scarcely-say: I will not give it up; I do not Care if I am Damned. But, the Devil Deceives you. Commit this Sin, he says; for you afterwards Confess it. But, to Make a Good Confession of your Sins, you must have True Sorrow of the Heart, and a Firm-Purpose to Sin no-more. Where are this Sorrow and this Firm-Purpose-of Amendment, when you always Return-to the Vomit? If you had had these Dispositions, and had received Sanctifying Grace at your Confessions, you should not have Relapsed, or at-least you should have Abstained-for a Considerable Time, from Relapsing. You have always Fallen-Back into Sin in Eight (8) or Ten (10) Days, and perhaps in a Shorter Time, after Confession. What Sign is this? It is a Sign that you were always in Enmity-with God. If a Sick Man, Instantly Vomits the Medicine which he takes, it is a Sign that his Disease is Incurable.
Saint Jerome says, that the Vice of Impurity, when Habitual, will Cease when the Unhappy Man, who Indulges-in it, is Cast-into the Fire of Hell. "O Infernal Fire, Lust, whose Fuel is Gluttony, whose Sparks are Brief Conversations, whose End is Hell". The Unchaste become-like the Vulture that Waits to be Killed by the Fowler, rather than Abandon the Rottenness of the Dead Bodies, on-which it Feeds. This is what happened-to a Young Female, who, after having Lived in the Habit of Sin with a Young Man, Fell Sick, and Appeared to be Converted. At the Hour of Death, she asked Leave-of her Confessor, to Send-for the Young Man, in-order-to Exhort him to Change his Life, at the Sight-of her Death. The Confessor, very Imprudently gave the Permission, and Taught her what she should Say-to her Accomplice in Sin. But, Listen-to what Happened. As-soon-as she saw him, she Forgot her Promise to the Confessor, and the Exhortation she was to-give-to the Young Man. And what did she do? She Raised herself up, Sat-in the Bed, Stretched her Arms to him, and said: Friend, I have always Loved you, and even now, at the End of my Life, I Love you; I see that on your Account I shall go to Hell, but I do not Care; I am Willing, for the Love of you, to be Damned. After these Words, she Fell-back on the Bed, and Expired. These Facts are Related-by Father Segneri. Oh! how Difficult is it, for a Person who has contracted a Habit-of this Vice, to Amend his Life, and Return Sincerely to God! how Difficult is it for him Not-to Terminate this Habit in Hell, like the Unfortunate Young Woman, of whom I have just Spoken.

CNN Laments Popularity of 'Fascist' 'Thomas the Tank Engine,' 'Paw Patrol'
Is it universal for leftists to be without the ability to simply enjoy entertainment without finding offense? In this day and age, it sure feels like it. To make matters worse, it seems they can't handle anyone else finding enjoyment in anything they find bad.
"Parents like to see themselves as purveyors of possibility. We want our children to inhabit a world in which identities are both mutable and equal, and imagination and empathy reign supreme!" Alissa Strauss wrote at CNN.
"But young children, as dictated by their tastes in popular culture, have something else in mind. They're drawn to worlds in which identities are fixed, order trumps imagination and transgressions are met with routine punishment," she said. "This clash between what parents desire for their children and what children desire for themselves is most easily observable in cartoon preferences. So often, the more parents dislike a show, the more their children love it."
Strauss went on to single out two popular children's shows: "Two of the most divisive shows are 'Thomas the Tank Engine' and 'Paw Patrol,' both of which have been eviscerated by grown-ups on discussion boards, in social media and in widely shared essays in prestigious publications."
"'Thomas,' the long-running television franchise about a group of working trains chugging away on the Island of Sodor, has been called a 'premodern corporate-totalitarian dystopia' in the New Yorker, imperialist and sinister in Slate, and classist, sexist and anti-environmentalist in the Guardian. And yet people -- presumably parents -- spend $1 billion on 'Thomas' merchandise every year," Strauss said.
The problem is, kids like these shows, which weren't meant to be political. These shows tend to revolve around following the rules, something the left had no problem with prior to a total GOP takeover of the government. Now that we have President Trump, it's an issue.
It's not an issue in places like schools, where teachers prefer students to adhere to order and rules.
Perhaps the bigger problem, one that CNN isn't asking, is just why so many adults are this worked up over the content of children's programming all of a sudden.
Unfortunately, the answer is simple. It's another example of the left trying to destroy things people enjoy in an effort to sound intelligent and "woke." None of these programs are harmful or do anything except make children sit down and be quiet for a few minutes, something any parent can tell you is a blessing that shouldn't be overlooked. Yet the wannabe intelligentsia can't let that be enough. They overanalyze every aspect of the show until they find something to lash out at.
Ironically, they target television folks who, by and large, tend to be liberals with a strong disdain for the modern right. In other words, they're accusing their own side of shilling for the enemy. In reality, they were shilling for Obama and didn't bother to change the formula when Trump won.
That fact doesn't make them sound smart or particularly sane, so they leave that part out.

"Amy Rigby!" I'd come off stage not long before, at the river festival in Hastings on Hudson, and the woman coming towards me looked harmless enough. Middle-aged, but then who am I to judge?
But there's middle-age and then there's…that frightening place I don't want to go, where the waistbands are extra-comfy and the shoes have gel insoles. Where an album is a "CD". It's always so close, so dangerously close.
"I love that song of yours, about the sofa." There's another key to membership in that special club – the inability to be precise about – well, anything. But to know your subject well enough that something resembling a key reference is possible. After all, there are only so many nouns – cast your net wide enough and one of them is bound to be right.
"Beer & Kisses"? I venture – I can play this game as well as the next menopausal woman.
"That's the one!" It makes me happy to have written a song someone can almost name. "And then there's that story Alexi Murdoch tells about you losing your purse…"
Now I'm looking a little befuddled, but that's not abnormal. "Wha-"
"Hi-la-ri-ous!" she cries. "He tells it on stage, a lot, about the time Amy Rigby lost her purse at a show – you know, when you two played together."
I start calculations in my head, about the first time I ever saw the name Alexi Murdoch and how it doesn't correspond to any show I've ever played. But – maybe I did, and I've forgotten?
"Didn't you lose your purse, at a show?" I remember my old group The Shams and the time we left a snazzy 70's handbag containing the tour earnings in the parking lot outside Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill. It was returned to us the next day without a penny missing – no doubt good karma born of two or three days lost waiting for the van to be repaired in …Columbia South Carolina. It's all archeology at this point.
There have probably been other frantic times, but had they been shared with Alexi Murdoch surely I would have remembered?
"There are quite a few Amys out there, maybe it was someone else," I tell the woman.
"No, no – it was definitely you he talked about!"
I tell her how much I loved his songs in "Away We Go", how that was the first time I even remember being aware of the name. The movie came out in 2008, but like many things that happened in the latter half of the last decade I only caught up with it this past year.
"Away We Go"? What's that?" she asked.
I spring into middle-aged action – I've got to convince her, to convince myself. "You know," I say, "it's got that cute, funny actress whose mother was Minnie Riperton?"
She looks blank.
"She was in Bridesmaids! Come on, Saturday Night Live…um -"
"Oh right!" We're in a frenzy of half-remembered names and incidents now, off on a tangent that thankfully has taken us away from my nightly public annihilation by anecdote at the hands of Alexi Murdoch and into the murky waters of film and late night television.
"Oh right, Roberta Flack's daughter," the woman says. Here's where I start losing confidence – those years out of the country have left me, a former fount of useless information, on shaky ground when it comes to trivia.
"No, it's Minnie Riperton." I say it as forcefully as I can. She shakes her head.
"Definitely Roberta Flack." Just like with Alexi Murdoch, there's a slight doubt in my mind that maybe I'm wrong and she's right.
But what does it matter? When I raise my eyes from searching the grass around the guitar cases for my purse, she's off dancing energetically at the front of the stage to African music.

Measurement Templates
Learn How to Use Measurement Templates
A Measurement Template in Calibration Control (our Calibration Management Software) is a collection of Measurement Groups without final measurement data. Therefore, a Template can have multiple Groups. A Measurement Group is a collection of information and standard measurements required each time the template is used. For more information on each of the fields in the Template, see the Calibration Event help topic.
Default Template
By default, the 'Use Last Calibration as Template if No Template Linked' option is checked. When this option in checked AND if there are no user-defined Measurement Templates linked to an Equipment record, Calibration Control will use the most recent Calibration Event record as a Measurement Template when creating new Calibration Events.
User-Defined Measurement Templates
Measurement Templates can be created, edited, and managed by clicking on the Measure Template icon in the Calibration tab of the menu ribbon. Templates can also be created from existing Calibration Events by selecting the Create Measurement Template option from the Group Actions combo box.
A Measurement Template needs to be linked to an Equipment record to be useful. When linked, new Calibration Events will automatically contain the structure of the linked Measurement Template so that only measurement data (As Found / Left) needs to be entered and a Calibration Standard recorded. Also, Calibration Worksheets will replicate the linked Template structure for consistent data collection.
Referring to the diagram below, a Measurement Template can be linked to an Equipment record in four ways. It is even possible to link four different Templates to an Equipment record although only one template will be used and in the following priority.
- Direct (blue line): Link a Template directly to an Equipment record by selecting the Template in the Calibration tab of the Equipment record. A Template directly connected to an Equipment record in this way supersedes all other methods. Therefore, this direct link overrides all other indirect links.
- Equipment Type (red line): Link a Template to an Equipment Type record and then link the Type to an Equipment record in the Equipment dialog. This link overrides the two that follow.
- Model Number (green line): Link a Template to a Model Number record and then link the Model Number record to the Equipment record in the Equipment dialog.
- Equipment Type – Model Number (yellow line): Link a Template to an Equipment Type, which is linked to a Model Number, and then is finally linked to an Equipment record. This is the lowest priority.
Multiple methods for links exist to provide the choice of how an organization chooses to manage its measurement data. Therefore, choose the method that works best for your team.

I owe a lot of thanks to the following people: to penny at Dreamwidth, the Kink Big Bang mod; sherlockian at Dreamwidth, who created a wonderful fanmix that really helped me to write and to txilar, a beta of the highest calibre. There are a lot of bonding fics out there, but none more important to me than "Bond" by Anna Fugazzi, in the Harry Potter fandom. There are elements in my fic that purposefully echo that one, because I admire it so much. It's not only one of my favourite fanfictions, but one of my fave general stories.
Wet Dreams Chapter 1, a naruto fanfic. Disclaimer: Don't own.
AN: NC-17! Whee! Kakashi arched his back as the younger man took his hardened member into his mouth. Dragging his hot tongue along the shaft and sucking at the tip, licking the drops of precum before delving back to the hilt. Kakashi wanted to thrust into that hot delicious mouth but a tan arm on his waist kept him down, pinned down to the bed. ANBU Antics Chapter 1, a naruto fanfic.

Strangely Together, Uniquely Apart Chapter 3, a naruto fanfic. Chapter 3 The morning came both too soon and excruciatingly slowly. By the first dusky light, Kakashi's body was burning. Shoulders, legs, back. All his muscles strained from the awkward position, but he was lucky. His stake had obviously been sized for Iruka – he could plant more of his feet on the ground than its architect intended.
He'd slept poorly, but came easily awake at the first trickling of waking-up sounds and the waft of cooking. Perhaps not surprisingly, the chieftain addressed Iruka first, fingering the coarse cloth that he'd been gifted. Iruka refused to answer; he wouldn't even look at the village leader. But whatever the reason for his act, Akasugi had no reason to doubt it. Dirty little Secret Chapter 1: Deal with the Devil, a naruto fanfic. Hello again my beautiful fans and readers!

The leaves were rustling and the grass was swaying in the wind. That wasn't what made Naruto's ears twitch though. The sound flicked to the other side of his head and his ears twitched again. Naruto didn't want to get up. He was too comfortable, curled up against a tree with soft grass beneath him and the sun's rays keeping him warm. It was the perfect day for a catnap but something was keeping him awake now. He shifted; turning to the other side in attempt to get away from the disturbance but again, it wasn't to be. "Dobe.

Kakashi x Iruka, or KakaIru, is the relationship between the characters Hatake Kakashi and Umino Iruka from the series Naruto.

iCloud Storage Full? How to Free up & Get More iCloud Storage without Paying
You will be given 5GB of storage for free when you first set up iCloud. You can use the 5GB for iCloud backups, to store your photos & videos, documents, and app data. But as time goes on, you may find that iCloud storage is almost full. It will cause a lot of issues: Your device cannot make new iCloud backups, your photos & videos cannot be uploaded to iCloud Photos, and your documents won't be kept up to date in iCloud Drive.
If you want to increase iCloud storage for your iPhone or iPad, it is a simple way to purchase for more space. But some Apple users may wonder if there is any way to get more iCloud storage without buying it. The answer is "Yes". Actually, to free up iCloud storage is the only option to increase iCloud storage for free.
- Part 1: Check iCloud Storage on Your iPhone/iPad
- Part 2: How to Free Up iCloud Storage When Full
- Bonus Tip: How to Recover Mistakenly Deleted Data on iPhone
How to Check iCloud Storage on Your iPhone/iPad
When your device says iCloud storage is full, you need to check the iCloud storage there first. It will list every use of your iCloud space.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone/iPad.
- Tap on [your name] to get to the Apple ID interface.
- Click on iCloud, and you can check the iCloud storage at the top.
How to Free Up iCloud Storage When It Is Full
1. Manage iCloud Backup Settings
The primary role of iCloud space is for backups, which means iCloud backups may eat up a mass of space resulting in iCloud storage full. To free up iCloud Storage, the most direct way to clear iCloud storage is to delete backups in iCloud, and stop iCloud from automatically backing up everything. Follow steps below to manage iCloud backup settings.
Delete backups and turn off iCloud Backup on the iPhone
- Step 1: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Step 2: Tap on your Apple ID at the top.
- Step 3: Navigate to iCloud and flip it.
- Step 4: Click Manage Storage below the colored graph.
- Step 5: Click on the Backups bar.
- Step 6: Tap the name of your device.
- Step 7: Tap on Delete Backup, and then Turn Off & Delete.
Select which apps not to back up
- Step 1: Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Step 2: Tap on [your name].
- Step 3: Click on iCloud, and then Manage Storage.
- Step 4: Tap Backups, and then the name of your iPhone.
- Step 5: Under the CHOOSE DATA TO BACK UP section, switch off the toggle of the app you don't want to back up.
- Step 6: Tap on Turn Off & Delete to confirm.
After that, iCloud won't back up that app, and all its backup data will be deleted from iCloud.
2. Turn Off iCloud Photos & My Photo Stream
Photos and videos may take up too much space when your iCloud storage is full. If you turn on the iCloud Photos, all your photos and videos will be automatically uploaded and stored in iCloud so that you can browse, search, and share them from any of your Apple devices. iCloud Photos brings great convenience but also uses a chunk of storage on iCloud. To clear out iCloud storage, you can turn off iCloud Photos and My Photo Stream.
- Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
- Click on Photos.
- Disable iCloud Photos and My Photo Stream.
When you turn off iCloud Photos, you can try a third-party cloud service like Google Photos, which offers unlimited storage space for free. You can also choose other alternative cloud services like Yahoo's Flickr app, Microsoft OneDrive, DropBox, and Amazon Cloud Drive. These cloud services will automatically back up your photos just like iCloud.
3. Delete Files in iCloud Drive
iCloud Drive helps keep any of your documents up to date across your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC. You can increase the iCloud storage by removing files stored in iCloud Drive. Here's how to manage it.
- Step 1: Go to the Files app on your iPhone.
- Step 2: Tap on Browse on the bottom right.
- Step 3: Click on iCloud Drive under the Locations section. Then tap Select in the top right corner,
- Step 4: Tick the documents you want to remove, and then flick the delete icon.
- Step 5: Enter Recently Deleted under the Location section, and tap on Select.
- Step 6: Select the files you need to delete and tap on Delete to permanently delete them.
4. Delete Email Messages and Text Messages
When you are using Apple's iCloud Mail, you can free up iCloud storage by deleting email messages from your iCloud Email Account.
If you have the Mail app enabled for iCloud access, you can delete email messages in the Mail app directly.
- Step 1: Open the Mail app on your iPhone.
- Step 2: Tap Edit at the top right of the screen.
- Step 3: Check the messages you want to delete and tap on Trash on the bottom right.
- Step 4: Go back to the home page of Mailboxes and click on the Trash bar.
- Step 5: Flick Edit on the top right, and tap on Delete All in the lower right corner.
If you have not enabled the Mail app in iCloud, you can go to iCloud.com, open the Mail app online, and delete messages within it.
Similarly, when you are using Messages in iCloud, you can remove text messages and attachments to clear iCloud storage.
- Step 1: Go to the Messages app on your iPhone.
- Step 2: Tap on Edit on the top left.
- Step 3: Tick the messages you don't need and flip Delete in the bottom right corner.
If you want to delete a conversation in a text message, you can tap into that text message, long press the conversation you want to delete until you see a small window, tap on the More option, and then flick the trash icon and Delete Message.
5. Remove App Data from iCloud
Most of the apps installed on the iPhone, including Voice Memos, Notes, and WhatsApp sync the data to iCloud. You can see which apps are using iCloud in the iCloud interface. To free up space on iCloud storage, you can disable the apps you don't want to sync to iCloud and delete the data of those apps.
- Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
- Toggle the switches of the apps you want to disable in iCloud to the white off position.
- Tap on Manage Storage, and flick the name of the apps you want to delete data from.
- Click on Delete Data and then Delete to confirm it.
Besides removing app data from iCloud, you can also delete some apps that you won't open.
Bonus Tip: How to Recover Mistakenly Deleted Data on iPhone
It could happen that you permanently deleted some vital data which you still need on iPhone by accident when clear storage on the iPhone, including photos, contacts, iMessages, voice memo, and many more. You can, of course, recover them from your iPhone backups. But what if you have no backup or the backups are corrupted? Don't worry; you can resort to a third-party recovery tool like Gihosoft iPhone Data Recovery. It is a professional data recovery tool which can help you get back up to 16 types of data from your iPhone.
- Step 1: Open this program on your computer, select the file types you want to recover and click on the Next button.
- Step 2: Connect your iPhone to the computer, wait for the program to recognize your device, and click the Next button to start scanning.
- Step 3: All the scanned files will be well organized in the left pane. You can preview each of them and tick the data you want to recover.
- Step 4: Click on the "Recover" button to save data to your computer.
In virtue of this tool, you can also preview and selectively recover data from your iTunes backup or iCloud backup.
If your iCloud storage is full, it is not wise to blindly buy more space for iCloud. You can try to manage and free up iCloud storage via tips mentioned in this article. Be careful when you delete items from iCloud and iPhone in case you lose some vital data. But don't worry if that accident happens, you can use Gihosoft iPhone data recovery to recover lost data from your iPhone directly. If you have any queries or suggestions, please sound off in the comment section.

If there is one thing that Lymphedema patients need to understand, it's how compression garments work! When diagnosed with Lymphedema, we are told that it's essential to wear compression garments on our limbs. Being the good patients that we are, we order these garments and wear them (or don't!), often without realising exactly why it's so important we do so on a consistent basis.
Compression garments for Lymphedema are not your average "compression" stockings that you might find on a pharmacy shelf. They are carefully engineered pieces of technology that work to support broken down lymphatic and venous systems, by imitating the body's natural mechanics that normally support blood and lymphatic flow. They do this through a system called gradient compression (or graduated compression), where a carefully measured amount of pressure is applied to the limb in order to encourage the movement of fluids.
Gradient compression garments are specially designed to help promote circulation and lymphatic flow in your limbs. Blood and lymph fluid must flow upward and towards the heart. Graduated compression assists this movement by applying a certain amount of pressure at the base (eg: your ankle or wrist) which gradually decreases in pressure as it moves up the limb. This design helps blood vessels and lymph vessels absorb fluids more easily, providing relief for tissues and reducing swelling. (Jobst, 2017)
Medical Applications of Gradient Compression
Applying a measured amount of compression to the leg, arm, face or torso is the basis for effective management of Lymphedema. Graduated compression garments are made for both men and women, and exist in various versions such as knee highs, thigh highs, pantyhose, arm sleeves and hand gloves. They are prescribed in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) or hecto Pascals (hPa), which represents the amount of pressure the garments put on your limbs. This medical pressure curve has two main benefits, as outlined by the Jobst Compression Institute:
- The compression increases the pressure in the tissues beneath the skin, which reduces excess leakage of fluid from the capillaries and increases absorption of tissue fluid by the capillaries and lymphatic vessels. Compression therefore reduces and helps prevent swelling.
- Helps control the size (diameter) of superficial veins beneath the stocking. The stocking does not allow these superficial veins to over expand with blood. This action helps prevent "pooling". The venous blood then flows more quickly up the leg towards the heart. (Jobst, 2017)
When pressure is increased in the body's tissues, it assists with the return of fluid to the lymphatic and circulatory systems. This provides effective management of existing swelling and also acts as a preventative measure to stop the condition developing further.
Why Use Gradient Compression for Lymphedema?
Enormous amounts of technology and research have gone into the way Lymphedema compression garments are designed. Gradient compression is proven to be one of the most effective ways to manage the swelling caused by lymphedema and venous disorders. Its special design helps relieve pain and reduce swelling by preventing the accumulation of liquids and helping to resist the tendency of the body to swell.
Non-medical compression garments, like socks for flying and elastic support stockings, exert the same pressure all over the limb and exert considerably less pressure than medical grade compression. They are commonly used to provide relief for tired, heavy and aching legs, but are not structurally suitable for containing the chronic swelling associated with Lymphedema.
Gradient compression not only helps encourage fluid to flow back to the heart and relieves symptoms of Lymphedema but can also help reduce the risk of other complications such as infection and preventing blood stagnating in the veins.
Finding The Right Compression Garment For You
It is essential for Lymphedema patients to wear custom-made garments that have been manufactured under strict medical and technical specifications, that suit the patient's individual needs. Each one of our lymphie limbs is different and requires a garment that fits properly in order to work effectively. Badly fitting garments can lead to a host of problems and can make Lymphedema worse, so it's vital that your Lymphedema therapist measures you and prescribes the correct pressure for your needs.
The most important thing to remember is to wear your compression garment regularly and consistently! Relief from symptoms will only be possible if patients follow their doctor's advice and are compliant with compression wearing guidelines.

Taps and tapping operation
Hand taps are used in the engine room to repair damaged internal threads and to make new ones after drilling and reaming operations. Taps are identified by the threads they will machine and form, for example M12 x1.5, where M stands for Metric threads (the type of threads used), 12 means 12 millimeter major diameter, and 1.5 stands for the pitch, which in this case is 1.5 mm. Also they are identified as number 1, 2, and 3 or also as Taper, second, and plug or bottoming.
After a hole has been drilled, the number one or taper tap is inserted in the hole, with a tap holder. In taper tap the last five or six threads are ground out to enable the entry of the tap in the hole easily. Care must be taken that the tap is parallel to the hole, this first step is crucial as it will determine whether at the end you get a correctly threaded hole or if you have to do it again after re-drilling (at a larger size). Tapping must be done in stages, a quarter turn clock wise tapping motion, must be followed by similar motion in anti-clock wise direction, to allow for the cut metal bits to come out. Lubrication with water or cutting oil will make the machining easy and protect the taps.
After tapping with the first tap has been done, the hole is cleaned with compressed air, and then the second tap in inserted and tapping is done in the same way. Frequent to and fro movements must be done, any hard obstruction or too much force required must be avoided and the cause investigated. After the tapping has been done a similar sized bolt must be inserted into the hole and the quality of the threads checked.
In holes which are blind, the second tap would not create threads at the end, for this purpose the third tap or the plug or the bottoming one must be used.
Taps and Dies
Dies and die stocks
As taps are used for machining internal threads, threading dies are used for machining external threads and for repairing them. The die operation is used to create external threads on cylindrical items like bolts, studs, and pipes. The die is rotated in the same way is done in the tapping operation. Both cutting and releasing strokes are continued alternatively till the desired length of the rod is threaded. The complete depth of the cut is not obtained in one operation and the jaws should be brought together and the operations repeated. Care should be taken that the die stock is always held at right angles to the axis of the work. Oil or other lubricant should be used for easing the cutting effort.
Screw Pitch Gauge or Thread Gauge
They are used to check the threads and the pitch of threads used in different items. An unknown thread can be identified by the help of this.
Thread Gauge
Procedure to remove a stud
The studs on any machinery need to be replaced or removed, but it often confuses the junior engineers. The procedure is very simple; take two nuts, first screw the first nut on the stud, then screw the other one till it is touching the first nut. Now take two spanners, hold on the lower nut and tighten the top one very tightly. After they have become tight open with the spanner on the lower nut. The entire stud along with the two nuts will come out. The new stud has to be put in with similar procedure, however during tightening the upper nut must be held with the spanner and tightened.

Care of nuts and bolts on board a ship
Nuts and Bolts
The modern sea going ship is of welded construction and houses machinery held together by a number of fasteners, all threaded. Almost every day a marine engineer has to come across threads, in one form or the other. The marine engineer must be aware of the different types of threads used on board, the machining operations to repair a damaged thread or to manufacture a new one. The care of threads in the form of nuts and bolts, their identification, and their inventory management is of utmost importance. In this brief article it has been tried to explain the importance of nuts, bolts, and threads in the everyday life of a marine engineer. It is our endeavor that all sea going junior engineers and senior marine engineers would benefit from this article.

We are spirit beings blessed by The Creator with five physical senses. Many believers however feel that ministering to ones senses with self-indulging therapies is of the flesh and therefore ungodly. I believe this thinking came from the fact that the ancient Romans who created the original bath houses and health spas if-you-will were pagans and considered hedonistic. They expanded on the Greeks glorification of aromatic plants for health, beauty and gifts to their gods and goddesses. In the opulent baths of Caracalla, Roman citizens could choose from twenty or so types of treatments, including steams, friction rubs and massages with therapeutic oils and mineral baths with costly, fragrant unguents to enhance the healing properties of the spa waters.
The Egyptians understood the importance of fragrant essences, herbs, water and massage therapy as part of maintaining good health. They are considered the original "mix-masters" of herbs, resins and other natural essences for health, beauty and "eternal" preservation.
Never-the-less these associations have not been favorable amongst Christians as we observed the teachings of Apostle Paul in Romans 8:12-13 (when it's convenient) "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors — not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live."
The pursuit of or devotion to pleasures of the senses were often considered hedonism because it was believed to cause preoccupation with the flesh and its desires. For this reason Christians have shone away from pampering body practices that stimulate the senses and put too much emphasis on the physical needs of the body.
A balance of understanding would show us that living under submission to the Lord keeps us from living according to the flesh. To live according to the flesh is to live continually satisfying the lustful appetites of the flesh. Self-care is by no means lustful or fleshy. The reality is, God has given us our five physical senses for survival purposes, balance of body-systems, bring us pleasure, and as a means for us to experience His glory. It was Satan who introduced the sinful ways to exploit our senses.
That fact that God equipped us with five senses proves that we were His most beloved creation. These senses provide us with the ability to utilize all of the beauty and health benefits of nature. Science shows us that we have been given specially developed systems within the eye, ear, nose, tongue, and skin to translate sensory information into electrical signals which are passed along the nervous system to the brain. The brain then understands and processes this information, enabling us to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. Although our senses work independently of one another, they can also work together, compensating for each other or adding to the information the brain receives. God created plants (including their leaves, bark, roots and resins) to feed us, heal us and assist with our wellbeing. It is through the use of our senses that we are able to enjoy the beauty and bliss of plants in so many ways. "Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food, their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine."— Ezekiel 47:12
Instead of rushing through life, stressed-out and overwhelmed why not treat yourself to what I call "spa moments" through Sacred Self Care.
Yes, we were created with the physical senses and biological makeup to benefit from plants in many marvelous ways and Aromatherapy is one of them. Aromatherapy is not a New Age modality. Aromatherapy is one of the most blissful forms of Sacred Self-Care. The bible shows us how fragrant flowering plants and aromatic herbs and essential oils were used spiritually, medicinally, for burial use, and for romance as well. People are often surprised when I say that Jesus would have been a good client of mine. I say this because of how much He loved good quality plant-based fragrance oils. I believe He enjoyed the oils for their calming effects and the frequency they emitted, as well as the pleasing aromas they left on Him. But this should be of no surprise because we know that Jesus lived a balanced life. During His earthly ministry He needed to stay healthy to do all that was set before him. He disciplined His flesh when needed, but He also ministered to His senses. He took mini getaways from everyone where He fasted and prayed. He also visited friends like Mary and Martha who ministered to His senses — through His sense of taste with delicious, healthy food and His sense of smell with 16 ounces of expensive pure, plant-based perfume oil (that is a lot of fragrance). If that wasn't Aromatherapy I don't know what is. Perhaps He experienced what is now termed reflexology with the massaging of His feet with Mary's hair.
"Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil." John 12:3
"A women came to Him (Jesus) having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. But when the disciples saw it they were indignant, saying "why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor." But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the women? For she has done a good work for me." Matthew 26:7-10
Aromatherapy helps to bring balance and restoration to the mind-body system. Aromatherapy is both holistic and practical in that it can protect the body's life-saving immune system as well as stabilize emotions. Aromatherapy allows us to experience pure bliss in moments steeped in aromatic pleasures. Breathe in the essential oils from the marjoram plant and you may experience a bit of euphoria. Feel the cobwebs wash away as the stimulating peppermint and rosemary oils clear and refresh your mind. This is "True Aromatherapy". Aromatherapy beautifies as essential oils are quickly absorbed and can penetrate the skin easily, allowing for delightful restorative and de-toxifying facials and body treatments. Aromatherapy is truly a benefit and a blessing to all who are willing to embark on this beautiful, aromatic journey.
Much love,

From the series: MathWorks Research Summit
Gianni Pasolini, University of Bologna
This talk discusses communication technologies and network architectures for Internet of Things and Smart Cities scenarios. In particular, the adoption of current wireless communication technologies, such as LoRa (Long Range), Sigfox, 4G and IEEE802.15.4, for the provision of public smart-lighting services is addressed, highlighting their pros and cons. The outcome of a measurement campaign concerning the coverage of the LoRa technology in a real urban environment is presented, showing that star networks, such as those established by LoRa devices, are not suited for such service owing to possible coverage gaps. A large-scale deployment of a smart-lighting infrastructure in an Italian municipality is also presented, which is based on the IEEE802.15.4 short-range communication technology. It consists of around 3,000 luminaries deployed in an urban area of 11 square kilometers, which established a mesh network among them in order to exchange information in a multi-hop fashion with the control center. The feasibility of this solution is discussed, and the economic impact of the smart-lighting service is also emphasized.

Newfoundland's "Industries" definitive issue was released to the public on 2 January 1932. Consisting of 12 denominations, the stamps were created and printed by Perkins Bacon Company of London, England. When Perkins Bacon went bankrupt in 1935, W.W. Sprague and Company acquired its equipment and continued printing Newfoundland's stamps using the original dies, plates, inks and paper. Sprague's products cannot be distinguished from those of Perkins Bacon until 1938, when the successor company produced new stamp designs. These differences were detailed in C.A. Stillions' Newfoundland's Last Definitives: The Perkins Bacon and Sprague Printings. After Sprague's printing plant was destroyed in a bombing raid on 10 May 1941, Waterlow and Company took over printing of the issue. This volume, Newfoundland's Last Definitives: The Waterlow Printings, details the differences between stamps printed by Waterlow and those printed by its predecessors.
CA, as he is known to most philatelists, has collected stamps since childhood. What started as a Boy Scout project became a lifelong refuge from the demands and stresses of everyday life. He has collected Newfoundland stamps for just about as long. His displays of Newfoundland stamps have won numerous Gold medals. In 1985, he and several other Newfoundland collectors began the Newfoundland Study Group of BNAPS; CA served as its first chairman and newsletter editor. He was elected a member of BNAPS Order of the Beaver in 1989 and is a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society London. Closer to home, he has served as President, Secretary, and newsletter editor for the Washington (DC) Philatelic Society, and is currently President of the Washington Stamp Collectors Club. He served as Corporation Secretary for the international stamp show held in Washington, DC, in 2006.

A tool that allowed online sellers to display feedback generated on eBay, Amazon, Etsy in one place is shutting down this weekend. We wrote about eRated.co's widget two years ago, and in January it received a round of funding ($1.7 million) to "accelerate delivery of its online profiling solution for online marketplace users, establishing a unified, holistic user profile comprised of validated web data from hundreds of siloed repositories."
eRated was unique in that it allowed an eBay seller to display feedback and ratings from other marketplaces inside their eBay listings.
eRated Cofounder Dan Benjamin told EcommerceBytes this week that the company has been working closely with a couple of very large marketplaces on building a unique Business Intelligence solution that will give them insights on their new and existing sellers across all marketplaces they are working in. "With our BI solution we are essentially automating and improving most work done today by the account manager and lead acquisition teams in those marketplaces."
He said the new direction had proven very fruitful and said, "it made no economic sense to keep the "previous and original" direction eRated had."
An eRated customer forwarded a letter they received informing them of the shutdown:
Dear Customers,
Thank you for your business to date and for being loyal fans of the product.
We regret to inform you that eRated will no longer be offering the reputation widget and app solution. We have changed the company's direction and in order to pursue the next part of our business more successfully we must cease supporting the current solution.
By the end of the week, we will shut down the eRated API and your eRated widget will stop showing.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this might put upon you and welcome you to send us an email with any questions you might have to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you again for your business and hopefully we will offer this solution again sometime in the future.
Benjamin said there were no alternatives that do exactly what eRated does, though he said sellers might be interested in Yotpo's solution for collecting reviews and showcasing them on sites like WordPress, BigCommerce, and Shopify.
He said all of the information that eRated had aggregated came from users' marketplaces profiles, "so no fear for data loss."
He also thanked customers for using eRated. "It's been a great experience for us and a fantastic jumpstart to eRated's BI solution for marketplaces. Hopefully we did good by all of you and we wish you the best of luck."

We just wanted to give you an update on how MooMoo and Snowball are doing….
They are just the most awesome puppies ever. They fit in from day one, and getting them both together has made their integration into our family a breeze. They are best friends…as you can see in the pictures, and follow us around everywhere. We cannot imagine life without them. They are still on Chicken Soup for the Soul and love the vitamins…so thanks so much for sending them home with the right directions. For teething they like to chew on cold baby carrots…works like a charm. They are not only cute, but smart and loving, a couple of love muffins really, both with us and each other.
I have attached a few pictures so you can see how well they are doing.
I'll keep sending you updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you cannot find the answer here please get in touch by calling 01270 584 564 or email email@example.com.
Q&A's on our magnetic horse rugs and boots
They are designed for stable use only with the exception of the Equine Magnetix Ankle Boots. These boots can be used in both the stable and field.
Our magnetic boots are designed to be used in the stable and should not be used during exercise.
Yes, this is one of the best times to use the Equine Magnetix Rug.
The magnetic rug can be washed at 30 degrees and the magnetic boots and wraps can be hand washed. If you wish to put the magnetic boots or wraps in the washing machine, please protect in a wash bag and place on a hand wash setting.
Yes, a good time to use our products is overnight, whilst your horse is travelling or standing in the stable. If you have not used Magnetic Therapy on your horse before then you need to build them up slowly before using it for longer periods of time.
In all our rugs and boots we use neodymium (rare earth) magnets, unipolar north facing at 2,000 gauss each.
Equine Magnetix uses neodymium magnets which are one of the strongest magnets available on the market. Their magnetic strength will last approximately 15 years.
The magnetic bell boots are used to cover the hoof and the magnetic ankle boots can be used either above or below the fetlock joint. As they are covering a similar area, customers choose either type of boot to treat conditions such as navicular and laminitis.
Not necessarily, however as close as possible is best. For example, you can use the magnetic stable boots to help with conditions associated with the knee.
See our Magnetic Therapy Table which can help you decide.
Q&A's on our magnetic dog coats and collars
Magnetic Therapy works by applying magnetic fields to the body. The magnetic field is absorbed relaxing capillary walls, muscle and soft tissue. This creates the environment for improved blood flow and oxygen necessary to accelerate healing. Magnetic fields can block pain receptors and release endorphins, which is the body's natural way of dealing with pain relief.
For dogs with arthritis a magnetic dog collar can work in two ways. Firstly, it improves blood flow and oxygen which helps to reduce stiffness. And secondly, a magnetic dog collar helps to stimulate the release of natural endorphins which gives natural pain relieve to your dog.
Yes, a magnetic dog collar can help ease the discomfort of these conditions. A full diagnosis from your vet and treatment recommendation is important. Your dog may require surgery and/or medication. Read Ella's story. She has elbow dysplasia and had arthroscopy surgery 4 years ago. She doesn't require any medication and her magnetic dog collar has definitely improved her mobility.

Now in its 6th year, this annual trek has become a pilgrimage in honour of our fallen diggers and our lost friends. This trek is an opportunity to fundraise to assist suicide prevention programs in the construction, mining and energy industries and make a difference to so many people's lives. Trek Kokoda for MATES in Construction, MATES in Mining or MATES in Energy and be a part of an industry-led approach to an industry problem.
The Kokoda Track stretches 96 kilometres through what is arguably some of the most rugged and wild jungle in the world and holds an extremely important place in Australia's history. From July 1942, the route over the Owen Stanley Range witnessed the battle-hardened Japanese war machine, encounter young, unprepared, untrained, unproven and hopelessly outnumbered Australian soldiers. After completing this trek you will feel proud to have paid your respects to Australian wartime history, will have completed a personal physical challenge and will have raised funds & awareness to continue the vital work MATES do in suicide prevention in the construction industry.
Our 2019 Trek will take place 6-15 September 2019, so come and take a walk with your MATES.
We're not around right now. But you can send us an email and we'll get back to you, asap.

The Atlanta Braves still don't have a General Manager, but they are still making moves – even if they don't announce them for a while. While no official word has been released to this point, the Braves are expected to part with long-time coaches Terry Pendleton and Eddie Perez.
Named the 1991 MVP while a member of the Braves, Pendleton spent the last 16 years on the coaching staff beginning as the team's hitting coach in 2002. In 2011, he was moved to first base coach and spent much of the last two seasons as Brian Snitker's bench coach. Perez replaced him at first base and he former personal catcher just concluded his 11th year as a Braves' coach. Before that most recent assignment, Perez was the bullpen coach for three different managers with the Braves. He also was a player-manager in Mississippi during his final year of ball in '06 before getting the bullpen coach assignment.
Could these moves be signs of what the front office might look like moving forward? President of Baseball Operations, John Hart, has come under fire for either not knowing or doing nothing about former GM John Coppolella's actions that ultimately led to the latter resigning. Hart, whose contract ends after this season, is acting like a guy who thinks he's sticking around. The decisions to sack both Pendleton and Perez didn't come from Snitker, who commands little power in this organization considering he likely was heading to the unemployment line himself before the mess with Coppolella. These decisions have the fingerprints of Hart on them.
As does the reported decision to bring Walt Weiss in as the new bench coach. Weiss, who managed the Rockies for four years before being let go last winter, is a highly respected figure in the game. He worked with the front office in Colorado and as a special instructor for a number of years before landing his managerial job. Of course, before that, he retired after a career that spanned over 13 years – including the last three seasons in Atlanta. Weiss checks another box the Hart-led front office was looking for – a bench coach who understood analytics and could advise Snitker. It's actually a good choice as much as that goes – Don Wakamatsu's analytics knowledge helped to shape some of Ned Yost's decisions in route to the Royals winning a World Series. While Weiss isn't exactly a big nerdy SABR guy, he improved each year in Colorado with understanding the data and utilizing it – especially in regards to defensive shifts.
Back to Hart, the bench shuffle would seem to indicate both he and the Braves expect that he'll return in 2018. That might have serious ramifications as far hiring a general manager goes. While Dayton Moore seems less and less likely as an option for the Braves, he's almost certainly a "no" with Hart overseeing him. Other established general managers would likely balk at having to report to Hart rather than have some degree of autonomy. That would likely mean the Braves would be seeking more of a first-timer as GM – someone who Hart can mentor. With just three teams still active this year, Atlanta shouldn't have any trouble getting interviews set up for assistant general managers looking for a promotion.
Ian Krol Outrighted
Meanwhile, the Braves also made a roster decision as they designated Ian Krol for assignment and sent him outright to Gwinnett. It was the first of many decisions that will need to be made moving forward as the Braves have 39 players occupying the available slots on their 40-man roster. Three other players – Jacob Lindgren, Armando Rivero, and Danny Santana – are on their 60-day DL and will need to be placed on the 40-man roster after the baseball season ends. The Braves might only care about keeping Lindgren at this point, though.
The lefty Krol entered 2017 as a trusted reliever and was expected to be a big part of the bullpen picture. Don't believe me? Well, listen to what this guy said.
Can Krol repeat this in 2017? Well, the Braves did change pitching coaches and Krol's success reminds me what former pitching coach Roger McDowell stressed so frequently (sinkers and grounders). That said, much of the work began with the Tigers in 2015 and was only refined and tweaked by the Braves last year. That gives me hope that Krol will continue to pitch well into next season.
I probably should quote someone else. Oh, and guess that didn't work out so well, Past Tommy.
I'm not saying, by the way, that the dismissal of McDowell led to his troubles or conversely, Krol didn't mesh with new pitching coach Chuck Hernandez. It's hard to really label what led to his issues. His release point did alter a bit compared to 2016 which may have led to the decreased ability to throw strikes. Krol's never been a guy who couldn't find the strike-zone. While the walks may go up-or-down, the zone rates have always been above average. This year, it slipped from 47% to 41% with the major league average at 45%.
Part of that could have been more sliders and less four-seam fastballs – which was another weird decision. In 2016, roughly 65% of his pitches were fastballs (close to 40% more four-seamers rather than sinkers). In 2017, his fastballs percentage fell 15% and he threw 17% less four-seam fastballs. While his slider is his best pitch, it probably wasn't a good idea to throw less four-seam fastballs which have a higher probability of being strikes to throw the slider more.
Krol is still in the organization, though we will see if that continues. He was arbitration-eligible for the second time and I had him projected to earn slightly less than $1.3M. With Lindgren returning and the Braves already sporting Sam Freeman and A.J. Minter – plus early Arizona Fall League standout Corbin Clouse – the return of Krol was doubtful before this news. Now, it seems like he's thrown his final pitch.
(Thanks for reading! We hope you like our new design. Let us know if you have any issues with the blog or the design.)
