Orders and sizing
For rings:
First choose the size you would like to order and than place the order. For the best sizing option, in order to know your real size, we strongly advise you to go to any jewelry store close to your home and measure it as correctly as possible.
There are a number of things to consider when determining your ring size.
- Check your size more than once
- Think about the type of ring
- Regular checks
- Fingers become smaller in colder temperatures, so never measure cold fingers
- Measure fingers at the end of the day, when they are largest
- Make sure you measure the largest part of the finger
In case you don't have one nearby just use the following instructions and look at the example photo below.
Measure a ring that fits you perfectly like in the example photo. Be sure that your ring's shape was not deteriorated in time. Measure a round-shaped ring that really fits you.
To be sure send us the order by mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or if you have more questions please contact us by phone at +0722644824.
For bracelets:
Please measure carefully the inside part of your wrist with a ruler just as in the photo bellow. Start measuring 2 mm after 0 for a perfect fit. If you have more questions about how you should measure your wrist please contact us at +40722644824.
Necklaces are usually standard sizes, but if you would prefer to have another size made for you please write to us at email@example.com or call us at +40722644824.
Sizing responsability
We kindly inform you that the correct sizing and measurement is strictly in your responsability.
All our jewels are custom-made, therefor we will send you the exact measure you ordered.
Gramaldy will not take any responsability if the measure you ordered is not the right one for you.
Please understand that we are here to help and therefor we strongly advise you to have the correct sizing before placing your order.
If you are not sure of your measurements please contact our customers services for help and advise by email at email@example.com or by phone at +40722644824.
In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with the measure you've purchased we can modify the product for you but all the modifications will represent an extra cost. If you return the item for modification you will also have to pay for the transportation costs.
Stone colors
All stone colors depend more or less on the display of the device you are using to enter our online shop.
All the stone colors are beautifully natural so they should be the same when you receive the jewels you've ordered. We cannot accept refunds based on such a reason, so we strongly advice you to choose carefully and to examine more than once the photos of our products to be sure.

We have had several days beautiful fine weather marred only by the fact that every so often the earth shudders like an animal twitiching in its sleep. Or sometimes, more energetically than that. In fact, since my last post, we had several major aftershocks within a few hours - a 6.0 as well as a couple more of 5 or more. And since then there have been constant smaller aftershocks for the next few days, well over a hundred by now, although they are gradually getting further apart again. There is no obvious worsening of the damage to our house, although today P was checking various cracks and commenting about the need to brace the roof in one spot. Still, I don't think it's about to fall down.
I was glad that none of it started until half an hour or so after I arrived home, having finished my Christmas shopping. The adult offspring though, had put theirs off to the afternoon. Of course on Friday afternoon, all the shops shut to clear up broken glass and spilled liquids, and get engineer's checks (yet again) to make sure the buildings were safe to enter. so they had to brave the crowds on Saturday afternoon among the shops that had managed to reopen.
Most of the shops, if they hadn't reopened Christmas Eve, managed to open for the Boxing Day sales. I don't usually "do" the Boxing Day Sales, as there's nothing I want badly enough to brave that sort of mayhem. Especially with ongoing aftershocks - I'm not scared of being in a shop in an aftershock, but it's gradually dawning on me that edgy crowds and aftershocks are not a good mix, given that some people will panic and stampede for the doors, even though that's not recommended behaviour.
Anyway, my daughter and I headed off to dig silt instead. There was less liquefaction this time than in previous shakes, but there was still a considerable amount in the hard-hit eastern suburbs. Some of it was in areas that have already been largely abandoned, as the ground is too damaged for houses to be rebuilt. But there were plenty of people whose Christmases were marred by land flooded with a sludgy mix of sand, soil and ground water forced up by the shaking - in some cases mixed with sewage from broken pipes. I'm not really up to digging all day, as some volunteers do - but I hope that the few hours we managed made a little bit of difference.
Since then I have been reading Christmas books, napping and pottering around. My intention was to do lots of walking in the three weeks I have off work. So within the next day or so I will probably stir myself to take to the hills and see if all the tracks have been closed again (I'm hoping not - there were fresh rockfalls, but mostly in areas that were already off limits).
There's also the beach - slightly less appealing given that Friday's quakes brought more sewage spills into the waterways - hopefully minor enough to have been washed out to sea within a few days.
Finally, a festive photo from the shipping container dairy in Sydenham - which is surrounded by a growing number of vacant lots where damaged buildings have been pulled down.

Score: 76%
Recommended for: Couples or two people.
Value for money: 3.5/5
For $75 AU you get a pretty cool apartment in Split with your own bathroom and a shared courtyard. It's five minutes walk to the port and ferries and city restaurants and shops. The old Roman Palace is about ten minutes away. Split is a cool town to spend 4 or 5 days in, and Mainz Apartments is a decent enough place to stay.
Cleanliness: 4/5
Facilities: 3.5/5
The apartment is on the small side, as is the bathroom, but the communal balcony gives you a little more space. There's no kitchen, so you have to eat out. However, there's a little bar fridge. Literally ten meters down the lane-way out front is a cool little restaurant. I can recommend the chicken fillets with mushrooms with a side of beans and a tall beer all for $15 AU. If you walk down to the beach, about five minutes, you can find another awesome local restaurant called Buffet Fife, which also has rad food. The room has access to free wi-fi internet, but you have to be close to the window to get it. If you're into going to the gym, you should walk/run 2km to Bacvice Beach. The gym is literally right on the beach and is an awesome workout. The price is awesome too, $6 AU a shot!
Location: 4/5
You're close to everything. Good food, coffee, shops, ferries, bus port.
Staff: 4/5
Friendly and helpful.

"Cross Ride" (クロスライド Kurosu Raido) is an official term introduced in Booster Set 5: Awakening of Twin Blades which refers to the act of riding a grade 3 unit on top of another grade 3 unit which is referenced in that new unit's text. Currently, there two types of form to classify a card to be Cross Ride from another.
- Classic: It has a continuous ability to get [Power]+2000 during both players' turns, as long as their previous incarnation is present in the soul. Its other unique ability is independent of meeting the previous condition.
- G Era: Introduced in G Extra Booster 1: Cosmic Roar, and also known unofficially as "Neo Cross Ride" and "Cross Ride G". These cards no longer have the ability to get [Power]+2000 by having the previous incarnation in the soul. Instead, they have two characteristic abilities; the main one requires their previous incarnation in the soul, either to gain a bonus or to be able to activate their ability; the other (usable in more zones, not only in vanguard) allows somehow to get faster their original incarnation in the soul, which includes by riding themselves, moving the unit to (VC), putting a card into the soul for a cost or effect, and so on.
With the release of Booster Set 9: Clash of the Knights & Dragons, Cross Ride units have Lord as a restriction instead of [Power]-2000 when there exist a unit outside of its respective clan. When Clan Fight rules were implemented, starting with Fighters Collection 2014 all negative restrictions ceased to exist.
Booster Set 12: Binding Force of the Black Rings introduced the concept of having a Cross Ride for a Break Ride card, the first of which was Eradicator, Vowing Saber Dragon "Яeverse". This type was called a "Crossbreak Ride" (クロスブレイク ライド Kurosubureiku Raido) by the anime.
In Cardfight!! Vanguard ZERO, Cross Ride is treated as a keyword ability. It is worded as "[Cross Ride]:" followed by the name of the unit required to get [Power]+2000.
List of Cards
- Cross Ride is a term that was originally used in the anime with no mention of it in canon TCG material. However, since then it has been introduced as a term in the official rulebook. A special feature of potential Cross Ride units may contain two different same-grade units that share similar archetype, graphic design and naming conventions, although this is not a guaranteed feature.
- The first two Cross Ride units, Dragonic Overlord the End and Phantom Blaster Overlord, are currently the only Cross Rides that can use Persona Blast.
- With the release of the Break Ride version of Dragonic Overlord, the End is the first Cross Break Ride without a Limit Break, followed by Phantom Blaster Dragon.
- Also, the release of Brawler, Big Bang Knuckle Buster signifies the first Legion Leader to have its own Cross Ride version, riding over Brawler, Big Bang Knuckle Dragon, another Legion Leader, and whose Legion Mate is the upgrade of the former.
- Narukami is the first clan to feature Cross Break Ride, and also feature its first Legion-style counterpart as well.
- Genesis is the first clan to feature Cross Break Ride with an Ultimate Break Unit: Regalia of Wisdom and Courage, Brynhildr, which also signifies the first clan with two Cross Ride forms not to include any "Яeverse" forms at all.
- Nova Grappler currently has 5 Cross Ride units (two Crossbreak Ride units going to the same unit), currently making it the clan that has the most Cross Ride units.
- Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha, Beast Deity, Ethics Buster, Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier and both forms of Dragonic Overlord and Blue Storm Dragon, Maelstrom all have two Cross Ride forms, including a "Яeverse" form given to them by Link Joker.
- A Ride Chain also can include Cross Ride. These include Shangri-La Star, Coral, Galaxy Blaukluger and Phantom Blaster Overlord for example.
- Ultimate Dimensional Robo, Great Daikaiser is the first Cross Ride without a negative effect to be released.

Introduction: Make a Custom Wall Lamp Out of Scraps
The Goal: Use as few new items as possible to make a new light fixture.
Scrounged bathroom light fixture
Scrap metal sheeting
I used the top of the 55 gallon drum I had cut off to make the
biodiesel oil prefiltration tank, or any other relatively flat
piece of scrap metal.
Scrap wood for the tree trunk - the extra from the nursery's floor was perfect.
Oxyacetylene torch or plasma cutter, a jigsaw or tin snips should work for for thinner metals.
Jigsaw to cut the trunk shape.
Random screws and fixture hardware
Time spent was a few hours and total cost was less than $15 for an adapter plate for the fixture and screws! (OK, so I did end up getting some second hand welding equipment for the project, but it was a great excuse to get some tools!)
The Project:
The switched light in the nursery was a simple globe wall fixture. It didn't distribute the light well and didn't fit the other decor, so I set off to figure out another lighting option. The spare cork from the floor gave me the tree idea, and I was initially planning on a more elaborate wall-mounted light with movable fruit lamps and some sort of bushy tree from which they hung. On further inspection, the electrical box for the fixture was somewhat loose and wouldn't easily hold the weight of the 4-bulb gooseneck floor lamp I was going to hack up for the project, so I thought of this lighter weight alternative that ended up looking way better than my initial concept.
The great part is, the concept could be applied in many ways such as a rocket ship, a planet, a guitar, star? Whatever you can trace out!
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Choose Your Lamp Shape
This can be any shape that you'd like to cut, and the tree concept matched our forest themed eco-friendly nursery. Just make sure that you can drill holes in the right spots for the fixture bolts and that your design covers all of the bulbs in your fixture with as much overlap as you want.
Step 2: Trunk of the Tree.
I used scraps of cork left over from the floor - it made a perfect tree trunk with a few zips with a jigsaw.
Step 3: Cut Your Shape
I used an oxyacetylene torch to cut the tree from the drum top in about 30 minutes.
However, it took me 2 hours to review my welding class book on torch starting, safety, pressures, and such, then properly assemble and inspect, and test the system before proceeding - yes, Mom and Dad, I'm being safe (I'm 34 and they still worry, they're sweet.).
I hammered the foliage out to direct the light down, and gave it a quick wire brush.
Obligatory - please do not use welding equipment unless you have proper training and are using the proper safety equipment.
Step 4: The Fixture.
The old bathroom fixture had 4 lights horizontally. The design allowed me to flip them 90 degrees to give a more tree-like lighting pattern.
Since we're being eco-friendly in this project, be sure to use CFLs or ideally LED bulbs to save energy!
Also obligatory - wiring this requires a basic knowledge of electricity, how to wire a fixture, and the proper safety precautions, be careful.
Step 5: Mounting the Fixture Cover
I had already drilled the two holes to match the posts on the fixture before I traced out my foliage, so after tacking the cork trunk up with a few finishing nails, the tree was up and looking great! The fixture sagged a little from the weight of the metal, so I supported it with 4 long screws through 1/4 irrigation tube as a rigid spacer propped against the drywall.
Step 6: Painting the Trunk and Walls.
Laura,s mom did some great painting work to finish up the trunk and viola!

Thats really nice,good job,and congrats on getting some welding equip.you can never have to many tools.
That's really very nice looking! I'm going to have to make one of those. Thanks for that!
I take it congratulations are soon to be in order?
Indeed! I'm trying to document our attempts at an ecofriendly nursery and baby on Orion's Sustainable Baby Blog.

That final result is epic! A great project that will be admired for years to come.
Thanks! The real final result will be coming in July. ;)

8 Steps to Getting Real with Cancer
Empowering Newly-Diagnosed Patients and Those Who Love Them
This book is an excellent choice for anyone involved in the cancer journey, from patients and their families to friends and medical staff.
The first few weeks after a cancer diagnosis can feel like complete chaos. A kaleidoscope of emotions whirls around a core feeling of shock, and the volume of incoming information can be overwhelming. In 8 Steps to Getting Real with Cancer, Marianne C. McDonough gives practical and compassionate advice that shows how being honest and adopting a "survivor's attitude" from the very start can help immensely in dealing with this crisis.
Written for cancer patients and those close to them, McDonough offers chapters on getting real with many aspects of the cancer journey, including oneself, one's support system, the treatment process, and the future. She uses her own experience with breast cancer as an example of how this can be done, while acknowledging that everyone's journey and beliefs will be different. Her examples and point of view are personal, but she encourages people to tweak the information to best fit their own needs.
McDonough successfully maintains a message that is consistently compassionate and positive while being straightforward and honest about the challenges. Cancer is a struggle, and she doesn't sugarcoat that. Her goal is to empower others to navigate this difficult time, and her most helpful tools in accomplishing this are the sections that acknowledge and debunk the myths that can come up in the process of treatment. For example, patients often express that they don't want to be a burden to their friends and family. McDonough counters that allowing others to participate in the cancer journey shows them that they are trusted and that their love and caring is accepted.
The book is not only filled with great advice, but is also organized in a way that fits perfectly with the situation of its readers. It's a thin book that stashes easily into a purse or large pocket for taking on the go, and it's broken up into small chapters that are the perfect length for reading while waiting for doctors' appointments or treatment. Within the chapters are clearly designated sections that deal with myth vs. truth, practical applications for using the advice given, and a section called "Survivor Attitude" that gives a paragraph or two on how to cultivate a positive outlook. These sections are perfect for a quick pick-me-up when things are rough.
8 Steps is an excellent choice for anyone involved in the cancer journey, from patients and their families to friends and medical staff. McDonough's personal story lets patients know they are not alone, and gives others insight into how the patient may feel and the best ways to be helpful. Her advice is on-point and her voice is authentic and confident, giving those in the midst of crisis a friend to turn to who has been there and done that, and who will help them do it, too.

Datos técnicos
Materiality is a recurring and key issue in architecture. This book explains how materials are "constructed", how they become substances of our culture. Metabolic Processes follows up on the relationship between natural materials and technology, science, and sensuality.
Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) made the concept of metabolic processes the key element of his theory. He referred to the fact that architectural forms originally resulting from a method of processing a material are used for other substances.
For the first time, the book investigates the subject from a historic point of view whilst reflecting current interdisciplinary findings. Examples from Aalto to Zumthor illustrate the special aspects of erstwhile and contemporary material concepts.

We are undertaking a year-long project, the goal of which is to produce a somewhat more modern English rendering of William Fenner's (1600-1640) seminal work, "The Souls Looking-Glass," a treatise on the conscience. We are committed to making as few corrections as possible, in order to preserve the meaning and richness of Pastor Fenner's original text. As far as we know, there are no pdf copies of this book——either in modern or original English script——available online.

When it comes to accounting, surprises rarely bring glad tidings. Records, updates, calculations, and account reconciliations, should be happening on a daily basis so that you know the health and wealth of your business. A disturbing number of businesses leave accounting on the back burner, thinking that they can, "Tackle that beast tomorrow." The truth is that businesses often fail because of faulty or inconsistent bookkeeping practices.
That's why we're here. It's the pure and simple truth that business owners who are operating small businesses have a lot on their plates and need someone to come alongside and help out. Accounting is a great area to outsource as an accounting company can provide the work, reports, and information that you need to be sure that your business is financially sound and stable. The following are seven key areas that must be attended to daily – and we can partner with you to keep tabs on all of these areas.
1. Accounts Payable
Keeping track of the amount of money owed out to other vendors is a crucial aspect of accounting. If accounting is simply taking too much time and you're not able to keep up-to-date records of your accounts payable information, then consider having an accounting service do it for you, relieving the hassle and making a report available to you whenever you need it.
2. Accounts Receivable
Accurate and up-to-date records of accounts receivable greatly impact your ability to monitor cash flow. Understandably, it's imperative to keep tabs on this aspect of your business' accounting because unpaid accounts receivable can be a huge problem, resulting in bad debt expenses and other financial problems. If you simply don't have enough hours in the day, consider hiring out to an accounting company that can take that workload off of your shoulders.
3. Payroll
Payroll is often viewed in the eyes of business owners and managers as a routine nuisance. Yes, of course it must be done, but couldn't someone else do it? Yes, in fact, we would be happy to do that for you.
4. Inventory
Do you know what goods you have on hand? Do you know how much of those goods you have available? These are crucial questions for a growing business to know the answers to on a daily basis. An accounting firm can help you manage those day-to-day questions and reports, allowing you to focus on what's really important – expanding your business and reaping the financial benefits.
5. Cash Management
What does your cash flow procedures look like? Organized? Hap-hazard? Sporadic? Cash management is one of the biggest financial responsibilities of a business, and it really shouldn't be taken lightly. Is your cash being managed well? We can take over this task and hand the results to you at the end of the day. Just like that.
6. Bank and Credit Card Reconciliations
The menial accounting tasks are often the most important. Having an accurate assessment of how your finances are doing on a consistent basis is a key aspect of understanding the overall health of your business. Make sure you know what's up, and make certain that your business is on the up and up.
7. Cost of Goods
Cost of goods provides you with an assessment of your profit margin. Shockingly, many businesses operate without a clear picture of what their profit margin really is on an ongoing basis. Yes, they may make a single calculation at one point, but once isn't enough. Instead, you need to keep accurate and updated records of the costs of the goods that you purchase in order to clearly see cost trends and respond accordingly.
On a daily basis, it's necessary to keep strict records of your business' finances, and the services of an accounting company can be the tool that allows you to do so. Contact us with any questions that you might have or to learn more about our services. We would be more than willing to look at how a partnership with us could enhance your business' productivity and free you from the stress and hassle of day-to-day accounting responsibilities.

Close Cleaning Scotland
Why would you need a close cleaner? The answer will become abundantly clear!
If you are an owner of a close you will be aware of the dirt and dust that foot traffic brings in and the sheer volume of mess that can accumulate. People put free papers through the door, everyone walks rain and slush in, so cleaning closes is a really hard job. The same is true if you are part of a tenants association that has to deal with the close in which you live. While it is true that everyone can play a part in sweeping, what about the dirt and debris that is splashed up on the walls. Tenants don't want to have to wash down walls, they have enough to do in their own homes!
The very best solution is to have a cleaning company that offers a professional service, like Busy McB's!
Busy McB's Close Cleaning Scotland
The Busy McB's company will help you with all your cleaning needs including close cleaning. Close cleaning requires real dedication and professionalism. You will find this along with the reliability you need from the staff at Busy McB's. Carpeted closes and non-carpeted closes need to be treated differently and Busy McB's are experienced in both.
Why do you need professional cleaners? Firstly you know that your close is going to get dirty. When you come to let or even sell your properties the first thing your customer or tenant is going to see is your close. First impressions count and so you need to have a clean close that looks good to get the best prices. Tenants want to live somewhere clean and tidy. Buyers want to live in a close that is clean. Even people interested in buy to let will want the close to be clean so they can get better rents. These are all good reasons why the best thing to do is have your close professionally cleaned in a reliable and timely manner.
So, unless you are personally prepared to get down on your hands and knees and scrub that floor and walls, you need to get someone in to do it. Get the team that you and your close deserve, call Kyle on 07825 838533 and get a free quote from the best close cleaners in Scotland.

Dexter Fowler is headed from the World Series champions to their biggest rival.
Fowler, a center fielder who helped the Chicago Cubs end their long championship drought last month, completed an $82.5 million, five-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.
"It was an honor just to be considered to be in the Cardinals' organization," Fowler said. "You play against the Cardinals — I've been playing against them for eight years now — and they always come out fighting."
Fowler, 30, hit .276 with 13 homers and a .393 on-base percentage and landed in his first All-Star Game.
RODNEY SIGNS WITH DIAMONDBACKS The right-handed reliever Fernando Rodney and the Arizona Diamondbacks completed a $2.75 million, one-year contract that allows him to earn an additional $4 million in performance bonuses.
Rodney agreed to the deal this week, and it was completed Friday after he passed a physical.
Rodney was an All-Star this year for the third time, saving 25 games in 28 chances with San Diego and Miami, which acquired him on June 30. While he had a 0.31 E.R.A. for the Padres and was perfect in all 17 chances, his E.R.A. climbed to 5.89 in 39 games with the Marlins.
Rodney, 39, has 261 saves and a 3.69 E.R.A. in 14 major league seasons.
BREWERS PROSPECT SUSPENDED The Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Phil Bickford, the 18th overall pick in baseball's 2015 amateur draft, has been suspended for the first 50 games of next season after a second positive test for a drug of abuse under the minor league drug program.
Bickford, 21, is on the roster of Milwaukee's Class A affiliate, the Carolina Mudcats of the Carolina League. He signed with the San Francisco Giants and was traded this year to the Brewers along with catcher Andrew Susac for the left-hander Will Smith.
Bickford was 7-7 with a 2.93 E.R.A. in 22 starts and one relief appearance for three Class A teams this year, striking out 135 in 120 innings.
Houston Hires a Coach From Within
Major Applewhite was hired to replace Tom Herman as coach at Houston.
It is the first head coaching job for Applewhite, 38, who served as Herman's offensive coordinator the last two seasons. Herman recently left after two years with the Cougars to become the coach at Texas.
As an assistant at Texas in 2009, Applewhite was disciplined for what the university called inappropriate conduct with a student trainer on a bowl trip.
The discipline was not revealed until 2013, and Applewhite's case is a central element in a sex and race discrimination lawsuit filed by the former women's track coach Bev Kearney, who was forced out after it was revealed that she had had a relationship with one of her athletes. She said that Applewhite, as a white male, had received favorable treatment.
Kansas Forward Charged With Battery
Kansas forward Carlton Bragg Jr. was charged with battery after being accused of pushing his girlfriend down a flight of stairs.
Bragg, a 20-year-old sophomore from Cleveland, struck the woman and pushed her during an argument, according to the district attorney's office in Douglas County, Kan. Bragg pleaded not guilty. His next court date was scheduled for Dec. 27.
Jim Marchiony, the associate athletic director at Kansas, said that the university was aware of the situation and that "once we have the facts, we will act accordingly."
Islanders and Clutterbuck Reach a Deal
Right wing Cal Clutterbuck and the Islanders have agreed to a five-year contract extension through the 2022-23 season. Clutterbuck has two goals and seven assists in 25 games this season. An alternate captain, he is in his fourth season with the team.
British Police Cite 83 Suspects in Scandal
Police officials overseeing the sex abuse scandal in British soccer said that 83 potential suspects had been identified and linked to 98 clubs.
Officers across Britain are sifting through 639 referrals received by both police agencies and a help line established last month when former players started going public to say they had been abused by coaches while on youth teams.
Although 98 clubs have been affected, the National Police Chiefs' Council said that did not mean all of them were under investigation. The unidentified clubs are from across all levels of the game, "from Premier clubs through to amateur," the council said.
HOFFENHEIM STILL UNBEATEN Hoffenheim retained its unbeaten record in the German Bundesliga, battling Eintracht Frankfurt to an 0-0 draw in an ill-tempered match in which Eintracht defender Timothy Chandler was sent off.
There were virtually no chances on either side, but plenty of fouls and dirty play. Chandler was sent off in the 83rd minute after a melee, apparently for grabbing the neck of Hoffenheim striker Sandro Wagner.
MÁLAGA TIES AT HOME Málaga's chance to set a club record for consecutive home victories was ruined by a 1-1 draw with Granada in the Spanish league.
Midfielder Ignacio Camacho put the host team ahead in the first half when he headed Roberto Rosales's cross off the post and into the net. Málaga controlled the match until Artem Kravets scored a header from Alberto Bueno's free kick in the 81st minute.
Defending Champion Sets a Record
The defending champion Evgenia Medvedeva began the defense of her Grand Prix final title by thrilling the crowd in Marseille, France, with a world record score in the short program.
Medvedeva, a 17-year-old Russian, landed all of her jumps cleanly as she recorded 79.21 points, beating the three-time world champion Mao Asada's 78.66 at the 2014 worlds.
Medvedeva leads Kaetlyn Osmond of Canada (75.54) and Satoko Miyahara of Japan (74.64).
The Russian pair of Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov earned their season-best score in the free skate to win the pairs event for the first time, scoring 135.25 to win with a total of 213.85.
The former Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada led in the ice dance after a commanding 80.50 in the short program.

That's a wrap! Congratulations to all our winners. The Book Arts Bash now has its own domain name, and a brand new web site for a new Bash in 2010. Visit us here!
Please visit the Favorite Poem Project, and hear Americans read the poetry they love.
Submission Guidelines:
Create an illustration for the cover of a novel: yours or anyone else's! The finished cover should include the title and author of the novel, and should fit into a standard manila envelope. You can use any flat medium including computer graphics.
Go ahead -- design a cover for Pride and Prejudice, or The Golden Compass, or Superfudge, or Great Expectations! Maybe you've got a story floating around in your head that you've not yet written, but know just what the cover would look like. Maybe you have written the story already, and you want to design your own jacket. Show us what you imagine.
Teaching This Genre:
It's interesting an enlightening to look at different cover art on different versions of the same novel. For example, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has had many different looks. Discuss why the artists and the publisher made the choices they made, and how different styles of artwork might appeal to different readers. Could you make a cover for Treasure Island that would make it seem to be super-scary and adventurous? How about one that would make it seem very tame and relaxing? Why do you suppose so many "classic" novels have antique oil paintings on their covers? What does that communicate to the reader about the story inside?
Take a look at all these different covers for the book Jane Eyre. Which is your favorite? This web site, Library Thing, lets you look at lots of different covers side by side. Go on, click on the link. There are over 100 for Jane Eyre, for example.
Creating a cover is a great way to wind up discussion on a book, a cool way for a visually oriented child to express what he/she feels about a story, and an interesting opening for bringing up marketing and some of the business aspects of publishing.

May 25th, 2016
Takino Suzuran Hillside National Government Park
Takino Suzuran Hillside National Government Park (滝野すずらん丘陵公園) is a popular park founded in 1983 in Minami ward, Sapporo city, and about 600,000 visitors come. This park is a quite large, and is area of about 400 ha. It is divided into 4 areas, Central Zone (中心ゾーン), Keiryu Zone (渓流ゾーン), Taki-no-Mori Zone East Area (滝野の森ゾーン東エリア) and Taki-no-Mori Zone West Area (滝野の森ゾーン西エリア), and there are 3 entrances, Taki-no-moriguchi Entrance (滝の森口), Keiryuguchi Entrance (渓流口) and Masumiguchi Entrance (鱒見口). Admission is JPY 450. A parking lot fee is JPY 410. * Only the Keiryu Zone is not charged. In addition, Admission free from December 23 to March 31.
The Central Zone has Country Garden (カントリーガーデン), Country House (カントリーハウス), Auto Resort Takino (オートリゾート滝野 * a campsite), Kodomo-no-Tani (こどもの谷), Mori-no-Sumika (森のすみか), Tusdoi-no-Mori (つどいの森) and a park golf course, and various flowers that are changed depending on seasons and large playground equipments are popular. The Keiryu Zone has Ashiribetsu Falls (アシリベツの滝), Funami falls (鱒見の滝), Furo Falls (不老の滝), Shiraho Falls (白帆の滝), Takino Park Information Office, Park Station and Fishing Takino along Atsubetsu River, and visitors can play in the water. The Taki-no-Mori Zone East Area has Mori-no-Koryukan Hall (森の交流館), a roller slide, Morimi-no-To Tower (森見の塔), Mori-no-Suiji Open Space (森の炊事広場), Mori-no-Kyoshitsu (森の教室) and Seishonen Yama-no-Ie (青少年山の家), and the Taki-no-Mori Zone West Area has Mori-no-Johokan Information Hall (森の情報館), Mori-no-Kansatsu Deck (森の観察デッキ) and Tanbo-no-Hiroba Open Space (田んぼの広場), and the visitors can play in a forest.
The Kodomo-no-Tani and the Mori-no-Sumika are popular large playground equipments with children in the Central Zone. In addition, the Ashiribetsu Falls is a popular winter tourist spot. A lot of visitors come to take a picture of a icefall. By the way, cycling, fishing and park golf can be enjoyed in a summer, and tubing, ski and snow shoes can be enjoyed in a winter, too.
There are 11 flower fields, Toge-no-Niwa (峠の庭), Country House-no-Teien (カントリーハウスの庭園), Kurashi-no-Hanazono (くらしの花園), Higashiguchi-no-Hiroba (東口の広場), Hana-no-Makiba (花のまきば), Yama-no-Hanabatake (山の花畑), Hana-no-Terrace (花のテラス), Hanabito-no-Kakurega (花人の隠れ家), Shukaku-no-Tani (収穫の谷), Makiba-no-Seseragi (まきばのせせらぎ), Mizu-no-Hiroba (水の広場) and Suzuran-no-Komichi (スズランの小径), in the Country Garden of the Central Zone, and various flowers can be enjoyed depending on seasons. Suzuran (Lily of the valley in Japanese) that the park's name was named after is in full bloom in early June, and a tulip field, one of 2 major places famous for tulips together with Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park (かみゆうべつチューリップ公園) in Hokkaido, is in full bloom from late May to early June.
The tulips are planted in the Hana-no-Makiba of the Central Zone, and the visitors have to enter the entrance of the Keiryu Zone. The visitors must walk for about 30 minutes if the entrance is wrong because each entrances are not connected at the park. The Central Zone has Central Gate and East Gate, and the visitors can reach to the Country Garden (カントリーガーデン) with the tulips from each entrances. I visited there via the East Gate. The East Gate is decorated by circular pansies and welcome visitors. I was interested that there were a chair made of plants and gateposts made of the pansies near the East Gate.
Sapporo (札幌) that about 1,960,000 people live is the largest city in Hokkaido. Although there are various theories, its origin of the name is "Dry Big River (乾いた大きな川)" in Ainu language. A population of the Sapporo is the 4th largest city after Yokohama, Osaka and Nagoya in japan, and the population accounts for 36 % of Hokkaido's population! So the Sapporo has been flourished as the center of the Hokkaido. The area of the Sapporo is 1,121.26 km2, and is about as big as Hong Kong, and is the 7th largest city in the Hokkaido. The Sapporo is also famous as a tourist city, and about 15 million people come. As for a climate, it is hot that temperature rises to nearly 25 degrees in a summer, but it is easy to live without moisture. I always feel a little cool. It is cold that temperature falls to nearly -10 degrees in a winter, and amount of snowfall sometimes has more than 1 m. Article is here
Kamiyubetsu Tulip Fair
Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park (かみゆうべつチューリップ公園) is in in Kamiyubetsu, Yubetsu town located in the northern part of Kitami city, and is well-known as 2 major places famous for tulips together with Takino Suzuran Hillside National Government Park (滝野すずらん公園), and the Kamiyubetsu Tulip Fair (かみゆうべつチューリップフェア) is famous as one of 3 major Okhotsk Spring Festivals together with Higashimokoto Moss Pink Feastival (東藻琴芝桜祭) and Fairy Tale village Takinoue Moss Pink Festival (童話村たきのうえ芝ざくらまつり). The park surrounded by fields is developed as a flower field along Oketo National Route (National Route 242). It is the origin of the Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park that Mr. Terunori Nishikawa (西川照憲) planted a tulip, and described here as old people's farm in 1957. About 200 kinds of 1.2 million tulips are planted on the site of 700,000 m2 at present. I think that visitors must be very impressed by colorful tulip lines on the flatland. Admission is charged, but a parking lot is free of charge. Except the Kamiyubetsu Tulip Fair season, admission free. Article is here
Tulip Suzuran Festival
Tulip Suzuran Festival (チューリップ・すずらんフェスタ) is held from late May to early June. About 200 kinds of about 250,000 tulips and 50,000 lilies of the valley are in full bloom. Especially, the tulips are the highligh, and the time it takes to look around colorful tulips on the hillside at about 260 m above sea level is around 1 hour. You may be tired because of a difference of elevation, so you should wear comfortable shoes.
The tulip field is roughly divided into 2 areas, and lines of the tulips are planted around the upper hill, so the colourful tulips can be enjoyed. The tulips like pointillism are planted around the bottom of the hill, and those are amazing! Other visitors said "More Beautiful than Expected! or Too Great!", and the tulips are marvelous afer all.
Coutry House, East Entrance Rest Station and Central Entrance Rest Station are built on the site, too, and restaurants, resting places and a flower shop are at the building. Tulip Soft Serve Ice Cream is sold, too.

I love capturing the beauty of Mother Nature through my photography….. HAPPY SPRING
I love capturing the beauty of Mother Nature through my photography….. HAPPY SPRING
Aa I've traveled the beautiful world I learned to slow down and take in the beauty of the skies at sunset….. here are a few I thought I'd share with you.
One of my favorite images I captured while traveling through Europe.
Seeing the walls of Belfast was a very emotional moment for me. I can remember as a child watching the news and seeing the sadness that came with the violence and how it touched me so young, many times bringing me to tears. I was way to young to understand what was actually happening and what it was about but I knew this moment in history sadden me deeply, so being able to visit and giving my respect and a silent prayer was extremely meaningful to me.
My husband and I just returned from an amazing trip where we visited London, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Every city we visited was absolutely amazing and the countryside was the most vivid green I've ever seen. Below are just a few images I've taken and edited and have some many more to review, edit and share.
The wildness of Central Washington is amazingly beautiful……. the powerful Columbia River and the Wild Horse Monument are located in Vantage and the prairie image was taken in Sprague Washington. Many people think Washington is rainy and green however Central Washington has some very harsh prairie lands with beauitful landscapes to be capture by any photographer.
Marshall Lake is located in Newport Washington, and is just one of nature's beauties we have here. Our family has been visiting this lake for four generations and have enjoyed fishing for the best Rainbow Trout you can find.
After a busy week I always look forward to hitting the water and taking in the peaceful moments of this glorious lake.
Spring is my favorite time of year I get so excited to photograph all the beautiful flowers that are in bloom. I love the colors, shapes and textures and I have so much fun with editing the images to see what I can create.

Berlingualfoodie's Top 5 Breakfast Places in Budapest
I consider myself very lucky to call Berlin and Budapest my home. Both cities have a lot to offer and in many aspects one city provides me with what the other lacks. My name is Rebekka, I'm twenty years old, and like you, I am a huge fan of good breakfast.
Although my love for photography and food was sparked five years ago, I've only been posting my food experiences on Instagram as Berlingualfoodie since March 2018. I visit Budapest frequently because of my boyfriend and the close connection I feel to the city. I spent half of my childhood in and around Budapest thanks to my mother, who always wanted me to stay in touch with my Hungarian roots.
Observing Berlin's and Budapest's breakfast cultures the past years, I've realized that there are greater differences than similarities. I find this very interesting and exciting and I believe that it gives me a unique perspective. Judging from personal experiences as well as social media, Budapest's breakfast culture seems to be rather new, compared to Berlin. That is no criticism, but an explanation of how my impressions and experiences in Berlin influence my choice of favorite breakfast spots in Budapest and vice versa. However, regardless of the country or city, a breakfast place has to not just serve delicious and unique dishes, but also impress me with aesthetic, yet cozy interior design, and passionate staff to become a personal favorite.
Brunch in style and with lots of avocado
I've found the ultimate cure for grumpiness: "The Hangover,"* snug interior, and staff who will surely put a smile on your face. Top that off with extra avocado and an orange chai latte and the day is saved. This particular cure is only available in a small, but stylish and charming coffee place on Dohány utca called London Coffee Society. The menu is a variation of eggs and avocado, but my personal favorite* includes a tortilla with scrambled eggs, cheddar, and Serrano ham, as well as nachos and beans. Even though the store is mostly crowded, the LCS staff remains friendly and laidback, which, along with the delicious all day breakfast, makes it my favorite hideout spot on rainy days.
"This is a place where everything is possible*"
Sonkapult –A gem I surprisingly didn't come across on Instagram, but right below the vacation rental my best friends and I lived in this summer. Sonkapult stands out from the crowd of Budapest breakfast places, because it offers unique foods that are presented with creativity and visible passion. Even though the space is limited, the interior is cozy and ideal for enjoying a cup of coffee with your best friend. The staff is very friendly, open to alterations,* and seem to enjoy their work, which adds to the relaxed vibe of the store. If I wouldn't stop by the Jewish quarter as much as I already do, Sonkapult's green stuffed French toast and fluffy sweet pancakes would definitely give me a good reason.
"Old" and always gold
While Zoska isn't actually old, it belongs to my personal oldies, because it is one of the first breakfast places I visited in Budapest and one of few that I visit over and over again.
Whether it's fluffy pancakes, French toast (bundáskenyér) or their extremely satisfying oatmeal, Zoska and its cozy interior never fails to make me feel homey. A study oasis, a place to drink a coffee with an old friend, a place for reunions, and a place to cure your post - festival cold with a hot tea and a piece of cake; regardless of the weather, situation, or my mood, Zoska gives me a sense of balance and comfort. If you stop by, don't forget to leave a note on their colorful wall of post-its.
Budapest's heaven of health
Franziska – The kind of breakfast place I've been missing in Budapest. As much as I love to indulge in sweets and eat foods that some call unhealthy, I prefer a balanced and clean diet. Franziska gives me the opportunity to stick to my healthy eating habits by offering savory and sweet dishes, which aren't just delicious, but also good for the body and soul. It is praiseworthy that there are many vegan, paleo and lactose or gluten free options for people who are tied to or choose a certain lifestyle. My personal favorites are the hazelnut waffle with fresh fruits and coconut foam as well as the peanut butter bowl.
The best grilled cheese sandwich is not found in America, it's served on Rózsadomb.
While I am mostly in Pest, Törökméz was the first breakfast place to lure me to Buda. After several recommendations and many Instagram posts I finally found myself on a small, but comfy terrace, surrounded by breakfast lovers. The menu satisfies those looking for sweet or salty, traditional or exceptional, as well as hearty or light breakfast dishes. I can especially recommend the házi lecsó, Törökméz granola, and the crunchy, yet juicy grilled cheese sandwich, which I can never resist halfing with my boyfriend. Even though my heart still belongs to Pest, Törökméz is always worth crossing a bridge.

SSON has been tracking the manufacturing industry's evolution from Shared Services to Global Business Services. It is clear that manufacturing as a whole stands on the verge of a new era, one that is stuck between the push and pull of growing and innovating, while faced with limited resources.
With trade deficits in labor-intensive goods approaching unheard of levels, manufacturing companies around the world are being challenged to dissect every aspect of their business. The more progressive among them have already realized that to compete effectively they need to reevaluate how they run their businesses, from the inside out.
Manufacturers are learning to collaborate more closely with stakeholders, prioritizing customer service and learning how to leverage value from plant-based workforces that are propelling leading companies to the front of their respective peer groups.
To gain a better understanding of what's in store, and in advance of Shared Services & Process Improvement for Manufacturing, we wanted to give you a chance to read our exclusive article http://bit.ly/1tvgPyU that highlights the industry's major challenges and 10 best practices to drive service delivery success.

Around 2000 years ago the father of modern medicine have inscribed a statement, "all disease begins at gut", and we still believe its authenticity. It is inquisitive to learn more about the causes emphasized him to make this statement since we also believe our digestive system plays a key role in our lifestyle.
A gut is a group of organs that includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, colon, and rectum. The major part of this group is the digestive system. Therefore, it is important to know more about this digestive system to make a bit change in our lifestyle.
How does our digestive system work?
It is a group of organs works together to perform the most essential functions of the human body. From ingestion to excretion are all functions included in this digestive system. There are numerous organs involved in this process of production of energy and essential nutrients from the food and excrete the inessential.
Let us see the six principle functions take place in the digestive system.
Ingestion of food
The most primary function of the digestive system is to intake the food. The mouth is an orifice from which all food enters the body. There are again different accessory organs inside the mouth which help in digesting the food such as the tongue, teeth, and salivary glands.
All accessory organs perform their tasks namely chopping of the food, sending taste information to the brain, pushing food to a subsequent part of the mouth and saliva helps to moist the food and start the digestion.
Secretion of fluids and enzymes
Digestive system produces seven liters of fluid every day in different forms such as saliva, mucus, bile, enzymes, and HCl. Every kind of fluid performs distinct functions. Saliva (a watery secretion) moisten the food we eat and lubricate it enough to pass through the posterior organs of the digestive system.
Mucus works as a lubricant inside the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). Bile breaks down fats into fatty acids which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract.
Mixing and Movement of food
It is the combination of three different processes as follows;
Swallowing is the process used to push the food through the pharynx and into the esophagus with the help of mouth and tongue.
Peristalsis is a muscular wave travels through the GI tract to move partially digested food. It takes a number of such kind of waves to push partially digested food to desired organs such as stomach and intestines.
Segmentation helps to increase the absorption of the nutrients.
Digestion of food into smaller pieces
It is a simple process of breakdown of food into small molecules which later absorbed into the body. We can also bifurcate this process into two processes take place at the same time such as;
Mechanical process is the physical breakdown of large pieces of food into smaller molecules. It begins at the mouth from chewing and chopping processes. Bile is used to break the fats into small molecules which are produced by the liver.
The chemical process begins right there inside the mouth during chewing when salivary amylase split complex carbohydrate into simple carbohydrates. It continued through enzymes and other acids present in the stomach, but major and vital part performed by the pancreas in the small intestine.
The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which plays a key role in the digestion of lipids, carbohydrates proteins, and nucleic acids.
Absorption nutrients extracted from food
This became the easy process now. Our body mere need to absorb those prepared building blocks. Most of the absorption takes place in the walls of the small intestines. It begins in the stomach. The large intestine is also involved in the absorption of water and vitamins B and K.
Excretion wastes through the body
It is the last process performs in the digestive system. It is the passive biological system that removes excess and unnecessary materials from the body to prevent any kind of damage to the gut.
Benefits of the healthy digestive system
It is famous saying that for a healthy body, you need healthy digestion. Here are the benefits of healthy digestion;
- You do not experience bloating or digestive pain
- Manage appetite and so the body weight
- Manage cognitive health
- Proper stool
- Improves immune system
- Help you to live a longer life

Race Weight, Pantry Staples and the Perfect Plate with RD + Pro Cyclist Lori Nedescu on The Consummate Athlete Podcast
I loved having Lori Nedescu, RD and pro cyclist, on the Consummate Athlete Podcast back in January so much that we decided we needed to have her back on to talk all things nutrition as we get into the racing season for most of us endurance athletes… And I really wanted to hit one controversial topic: Racing weight. Does it matter, how do we get to it without jeopardizing our season, and what are common myths and misconceptions surrounding it? We also dive into my favorite topics: Building the perfect plate and pantry staples. I love any episode where I can score a great shopping list! (This one is super no-BS, and you can get ALL of Lori's food staples at any grocery store.)

We went to see this one so you don't have to. I like westerns. I even like mediocre westerns. I also like Ed Harris, so I was looking forward to this one. Let me say something good about it....
...the landscape shots with trains were lovely.
What was bad? The dialogue was stilted and artificial. The story was weak. Renée Zellweger poorly cast. It was boring. I couldn't suspend my disbelief after the first ten minutes.
Too bad.
On the 5 fish anchovy rating scale, I give this one half a can of wilted salties.

As you will be aware, the deadline for Brexit is approaching rapidly with the United Kingdom currently scheduled to leave the European Union on 29th March 2019.
Whilst the final terms of Brexit are still to be agreed, we do know that a "no-deal" Brexit will have an impact on drivers driving in Northern Ireland and elsewhere in the UK. Recent guidance from the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) advises that, if a "no-deal" Brexit were to take place then anyone taking their vehicle to the UK, including Northern Ireland, will require an internationally recognised insurance document to show the law enforcement authorities in this jurisdiction that you have valid motor insurance. This international document is called a Green Card. Please note, Green cards will not be needed if the EU and the UK reach an agreement on Brexit or if a transitional arrangement is implemented.
How do I get a Green Card?
Please contact us and we will arrange for a Green Card/s to be sent out. As it will take some time to produce and post a Green Card to you, please ensure you contact us as soon as possible to arrange this, particularly if you are planning to travel to Northern Ireland and elsewhere in the UK on or very shortly after 29th March 2019. Note, Green Cards are non-transferable and are specific to individual vehicles covered by your insurance. We recommend that you keep your Green Card/s safely inside your vehicle/s at all times, so they are always there whenever they are required.
For further information on Green cards and Brexit, please see the Q&A on the MIBI website: www.mibi.ie.
UK licence holders domiciled in Ireland
In the event of a no-deal Brexit the driving licence of a UK licence holder living here in Ireland will not be recognised and the driver will not be able to continue to drive here in Ireland on that licence. We urge all our affected clients to exchange their UK licence for an Irish licence as soon as possible. There is currently an approximate turnaround time of 17 days for exchanging licences, but this may increase with a sudden increase of requests.
Whilst a UK licence can currently be exchanged for an Irish (EU licence), there are no guarantees that this rule won't change. Some other licences (such as the USA) cannot be exchanged, forcing drivers onto learner permits and all that entails (theory test, 12 certified professional lessons, and full test)". Please see the link below for the official National Driving Licence Service statement on the matter.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further queries.

Everything you have been told about how to write SEO texts is a lie. Pass tags, pass semantic latency and keyword stuffing. Less TAGS, more FLOW.
Writing an SEO text is simple. Good SEO content is the one that best answers a user's question. White and bottled.
Google earns money being the best search engine that exists - after our mother, that as she has to go and look, you charge -, and for this, she needs to provide you with the content that best answers your question, which you ask in the form of a search.
Optimizing the technical elements helps a little, but it is not essential and is not, by far, as important as making content that you like.
Now, how do you write an SEO article? What do we have to know to write a correct text at SEO level?
Things that work in SEO texts
Do not worry, we will not go into technical things: it is common sense applied, like everything in SEO.
It is true that generally an article has to be directed to a keyword or theme that is being searched.
That is why it is important to know that it does not matter if you doubt between «car rental», «car rental» or «renting a car». The important thing is what lies behind, that is, if the user's intention corresponds to the purpose of your content, any of the options will be correct.
Do you know what you are looking for the most? As in principle you have no idea (nor me) what you do is go to tools like Übersuggest to give you search ideas, and Google Keyword Planner, Keywords Everywhere or SemRush to tell you the volume of each of they.
If you want more information about this, you can check more information in our SEO keyword guide.
When you have identified several that look good, do the searches yourself on Google and see which one has the strongest competition.
At first glance you can identify it by seeing if they are powerful websites or not (better to compete against Paco's blog than against Amazon), and if you doubt, you can use tools like ahrefs to look at the links that each URL has. If you have many links it will be stronger than if you have few or none.
The URL must be fully optimized for the keyword or theme on which the content revolves. Eliminate words that do not add value, such as conjunctions, prepositions and other stop words.
Wrong: / the-10-best-electric-cars-that-petaran-in-the-2014 /
Good: / best-electric-cars-2014 /
Regarding the extension, there is no recommended maximum, although the ideal is that the depth of the content does not exceed 3 levels.
Wrong: / level1 / level2 / level3 / level4 / content
Good: / level1 / level2 / content
Obviously when we talk about blog posts, the ideal is that the part of the URL referring to the content is at a first level.
The title has to be molar
How many posts have been made on how to write an SEO text? You have to add something that sets it apart from the other 50,000 equals, and the title has to be your declaration of intent.
Bad: How to write SEO texts
Well: 10 secrets to write SEO texts that nobody else will tell you.
Keep in mind that the title has to be between 50 and 70 characters to appear integer in search engines.
But you know what? A longer title may have greater engagement in social networks, favoring that you generate traffic, links and social signals (and this will mean which positions better).

Device in bomb scare at JR Akihabara Station proves harmless
(Mainichi Japan)
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) bomb disposal unit was called to JR Akihabara Station when a suspicious device was found in a restroom, which turned out to be a harmless motion sensor, it has been learned.
According to the Manseibashi Police Station, it received a call on April 23 from the station staff that "a circuit board with batteries is taped in a bathroom." An MPD bomb disposal unit was then dispatched to the station and found a 15-centimeter by 12-centimeter plastic case with a battery and a motor below the baggage shelf in the unisex multipurpose toilet near the station's Showa-dori Ave. ticket gates.
Upon inspection by the bomb disposal unit, it was judged to be a sensor to open and close the lid of a trashcan that had been removed. Police are investigating the incident as malicious mischief.
