In the summer of 2010, Tracey Flanigan merged her passion for nature and flowers and her absolute love of fine art into a full service floral business aptly named, Art In Bloom. With over twenty-five years of experience in the floral industry, a fine arts degree in drawing and painting and a background in art education with Brighton Area Schools, Tracey wanted to formulate a floral business that would reflect her skills and talents, as well as provide a unique concept for her clients. A location on Main Street in downtown Brighton has been the perfect fit. If you take a look at the "Art In Bloom" page of this site, you will see some of the art and flower pairings that Tracey offers year round from her studio.
Floristry is a part of the family and you can often find Tracey's mom in the studio creating corsages and boutonnieres or assisting customers. In the 1980's and 90's, Bea Flanigan owned, Bea's Flowers & Gifts in Plymouth Twsp, MI and Tracey learned the basics of floral design and business ownership while working with her mom and attending EMU.
Tracey is compelled to source American grown flowers and use local resources whenever possible. She is currently working with two local flower farms and also sources fresh materials from her own cutting gardens.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this page and we hope to talk with you soon- either on the phone or in the studio!

My old Corolla is on its last legs (or wheels) but I want to keep it running until Christmas at least.
Mechanically, it's not too bad, but the battery is quite duff. It'll still start the car - just - as long as I run the engine every day.
But I was wondering if I can slightly increase its lifespan, maybe by adding distilled water?
Only thing is, it's one of those batteries that has a little window (which shows nothing, not even black) so I wondered if I were to drill a hole in the window, I might be able to add water.
Ideas please.

"Safety is our priority", "Safety is Job One" how often have we heard this statement.
Corcare believes that safety is essential to the successful business system. Safety should be a habit and not a goal. Your "job one" should be the service your company provides to your clients.
In order to provide the best service possible, you and your workers must work within the safety guidelines set out by your industry and legislation. Many times a company's Safety Program is written and not enforced or communicated to the employees. Worker involvement to the development is key to success. Having a written program that meets the requirements is only one part of a successful model. Sometimes having an independent eye look at the system assists in identifying areas that have fallen short of the intention.
Common Sense is not as common as we all think it is!
Many business systems do not account for the day to day operations of an office they are focused on the larger picture. Our Administrative Professionals can help you with new office set up to make your office efficient and aide in the productivity. As the news has been stating the job market in Alberta is heating up again, as a Manager or Owner of a company knowing the pulse of your team will assit with maintaining, retraining and attract qualified staff through the changing times.
We at Corcare believe that if a company treats good workers well they will be commited to your firm and not jump ship when another opportunity arises leaving you on the search for a replacement. The time, money and training that companies invest in their employees should not benefit someone elses company.
With our knowledge in office skills, supervisor skills and legislative requirements we can assist with your training needs.

4 Ways to Make Your Home Feel 'Happier' Through Interior Design
Being happy is doing what makes you feel great and not allowing the troubles and worries of the outside world overcome you. Happiness is linked to your body and mind. It is a subjective concept – thus, only you can define it despite the fact that you share common values with other people.
On the other hand, a happy place is where you feel comfortable and at peace. This is your preferred space if you want to have fun and retreat. It does not necessarily mean that it should be a luxurious place or a unique destination; but rather, it can be your home.
Your home is your sanctuary where you feel connected with your true self and normal. How it appears and feels will have a huge role in creating a mood. Try to follow advice from Hennessy, a fit out company in Dubai, who specialize in making a house a home. They highly emphasize that happiness at home does not emerge from expensive, beautiful pieces. Instead, this is a journey that entails dedication, an open mind, and routine.
Here are four tricks to achieve a happy home.
1. Have your own space
Having some "me" time is important. This will help you relax whenever you feel exhausted. This is a place where you can go and instantly disconnect yourself from the world. So make sure to create your own space at home. This could be a comfortable sofa with a picturesque view, a nook by the window, a separate small room or an isolated corner outdoors. The bottom line is that your "me" place should allow you to step back from distractions and noises.
2. Fill your home with happy memories
In addition to scents, images can trigger memories. Thus, consider displaying photos and other items that will remind you of the places and people who make you happy and feel loved. For instance, print some of your digital photos and display them on your shelves or walls. Also, you can put travel souvenirs where you can easily see them to remind you of your enjoyable experiences.
If not, you can ask fit out contractors to integrate quirky pieces of furniture that make you smile and laugh every time you see them. For example, a colorful and interesting accent chair or a cabinet with a quirky design will help cheer up your home.
3. Always keep your house clean and tidy
Studies have shown that the more items you see scattered, the harder it is for you to focus, leading to feeling overwhelmed and stressed. The same is true if you see a lot of debris and dirt. Thus, you must simplify your space.
Start by decluttering! Get rid of all items you no longer need or use – you can either donate, throw or sell them. After that, organize what's left and always keep the space clean and tidy.
Cleaning is not everyone's favorite task, but it is crucial to keeping your home free of clutter and debris. So make sure to have a cleaning routine. Simple things you can do to keep your home tidy and spotless include washing the dishes after every meal, wiping all surfaces after every use, doing the laundry regularly, and making your bed after waking up. Make it a habit also to have your home professionally cleaned on a regular basis to make sure that it is free of dirt, dust, grime, and germs.
If you don't like tidying up, make cleaning a fun activity by playing your favorite music while performing your cleaning tasks.

Furniture made of pine: Elegance and harmony in interior design
Wooden furniture is practical, durable, creates a unique sense of style, comfort and coziness in any home. Among the species of wood, a special place belongs to the pine, which is distinguished by an increased degree of ecological compatibility and external beauty. Read more about the features that the furniture of pine has, the scope of its application and the specifics of manufacturing will tell this article.
4. Create a good flow
Your furniture and their arrangement will have a huge impact on how the household and guests connect. For instance, sofas and chairs that are placed across from one another will encourage conversations.
Also, you have to create an enticing hallway so you can feel great each time you come home. And this means having enough storage space for your outdoor paraphernalia. Install hooks for your coats, baskets for umbrellas and scarves, and a shoe rack. This will not just keep your items organized, but will also prevent you from taking outside dirt inside. As for your kitchen and bathroom, fit out companies can integrate storage cabinets for your cooking and hygiene essentials.
Everybody wants a welcoming home, a place where they feel happy about themselves. So implement these four tips to add serenity and cheer to your home now!

I've always thought dressing up pets in clothes or costumes is taking pet ownership way to far. I imagine the pets hate it. That's always been my biggest concern, that the pets feel stupid and humiliated. Well, now I have proof that my theory is correct. Bridget Pilloud, pet psychic, told the Boston Globe that dogs do not, in fact, enjoy or appreciate being dressed up in little costumes. "They think clothes are silly and that they cause people to see them as cute instead of seeing their true nature." Yes, that is my dog, Solace, with antlers on. It was the wife's idea. Poor bastard.

Peter Parker and Eddie Brock Jr: the Demonic Suit and the Bells of Conscience
February 3, 2009 Leave a comment
In the cathedral scene of Spiderman 3, two persons are juxtaposed: Peter Parker and Eddie Brock Jr.
Eddie Brock Jr. (a catholic in the comics) went into the front pews, knelt, and prayed:
It's Brock sir, Edward Brock Jr. I'm here humbled and humiliated to ask you for one thing… I want you to kill Peter Parker. (About.com quotations)
This scene is opposite to that of the taxcollector in Jesus's story who went to the backseat and prayed: "O God, be merciful to me a sinner." Concerning anger and death wish, the Catechism says:
If anger reaches to the point of a deliberate desire to kill or seriously would a neighbor, it is gravely against charity; it is a mortal sin. (Catechism Art. 2302)
Above Eddie Brock Jr., at the bell tower, is Peter Parker as Spiderman in black alien suit. This suit is a symbiote which amplifies not only its hosts powers like strength and agility but also his sins like pride and anger. So we may say that the suit is a material form of demon or a devil. The Devil tempted Christ: "All these things I will give you if you come and worship me." Such an offer Peter Parker could not resist. In his pride, he spurned the help of his girlfriend who told him, "Everyone needs help, even Spiderman." And in his anger, he used his enhanced powers to try to kill Flint Marko who killed his uncle.
But deep inside, Peter Parker believes that he is a good man, and he cannot understand how he transformed from the city's best loved hero into a monstrous villain. There is something wrong with the suit, as his scientist friend told him, and he tried to remove it. When the church bell tolled, the alien suit could not withstand the high frequency sounds. Call it divine grace. Or conscience–the bells of conscience. According to the Catechism,
Deep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice, ever calling him to love and to do what is good and to avoid evil, sounds in his heart at the right moment . . . . For a man has in his heart a law inscribed by God . . . . His conscience is man's most secret core and his sanctuary. There he is alone with God whose voice echoes in his depths. (Catechism Art. 1776)
Peter Parker finally got rid of the demonic entity and it slithered down to the praying Eddie Brock. Eddie had just committed mortal sin by asking God to kill Peter. Deprived of sanctifying grace which he received during his Baptism and last Confession, Eddie became a new home of the demon. This is what Christ said in one of his parables:
When an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting place, but it finds none. Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' When it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and live there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first. (Mt 12:43-45)

Match Overview
The Devils head to Madison Square Garden to take on the Rangers for the first time this season. Tonight's game will mark the beginning of a four game road trip for New Jersey that ends with another matchup at MSG next Sunday.
In a bit of a surprise, Antti Raanta will get his third straight start for the Rangers. He's coming off a shutout in Chicago the other night and has impressed this season. In nine starts, he's 7-1 with a 1.83 goals against average and .939 save percentage. This will be the first time Lundqvist hasn't played against the Devils at MSG since before December 2006, per Steve Zipay.
Projected Lines
New Jersey
New York
What to Watch
- Despite their 19-9-1 record, the Rangers are one of the worst possession teams in the league at 46.6%. Only the Islanders and Coyotes are worse than them. They also give up 57.3 shot attempts per 60, so New Jersey should get their fair share of pucks thrown at Raanta. It'll just be a matter of whether they can take advantage and find the back of the net.
- Even though the Rangers don't have great possession numbers, they're quite opportunistic. They average 10.5 scoring chances per 60 (via Corsica), which is 3rd highest in the league. They also have a league high 10.7% shooting percentage at even-strength. If the Devils don't buckle down defensively, they're going to be in for another long night.
- The Devils will be making some changes on defense tonight as Jon Merrill will come in for Yohann Auvitu, per Mike Morreale. Merrill's underlying numbers are far from terrible, but he's only played in five games, so hard to take anything from it. That being said, I don't agree with taking Auvitu out. He may've struggled the last two games, but he's been one of the Devils best drivers of possession from the blue line. For a team that struggles in its own end, this could be a problem against an opportunistic Rangers team.
- Even though his defensemen haven't helped him out, Cory Schneider has been struggling. He's only had a save percentage above .900 once in his last eight starts and that came against Vancouver. Hopefully, tonight marks the beginning of him returning to form.


text: Case Study: Poland The European Union will invest €170 billion in ten former Eastern block countries in Central and Eastern Europe between now and 2020. The majority of this money will be invested in major infrastructure and energy projects and be subject to public procurement rules. With the global economy stuttering, this represents a significant opportunity for the construction/engineering industry. These projects will be viewed as relatively low risk compared to projects in emerging markets and offer revenue growth at a time when established western economies are not investing in major infrastructure/energy projects on this scale. International EPC Contractors, supply chain and consultancies will all be considering a focus on projects in this market place. In this article, we focus on the characteristics of the tendering rules for public procurement projects in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), look at how those rules are applied in Poland (the largest market in CEE) and how to avoid falling foul of the rules. Introduction Almost all major infrastructure projects procured by public bodies or utilities in the European Union (EU) are governed by EU Directives which have in turn been implemented in national legislation. As the national legislation governing public procurement in each EU member state derives from the same Directives, the good news is that the principles applied in each country are very similar and are recognisable to anyone tendering in the different EU states. However, each country has scope to implement those Directives in slightly different ways to reflect their local legal culture and business customs. Some similarities can therefore be illusory and subtle differences can trip up unwary tenderers. Fail to comply with the relevant procurement rules and you will be disqualified from any tendering process.EU public procurement principles The core EU public procurement principles include: • The public procurement rules in each state apply to public sector "contracting authorities", including state, regional and local authorities, and bodies governed by public law. • A contracting authority wishing to award a contract (other than one which is excluded from the rules) for "works", "supplies" or "services" will need to comply with the rules if its value exceeds a specific financial limit. • The current threshold for works contracts is €5,186,000 (£4,322,012). Separate (lower) thresholds apply to supply and services contracts. • Contracting authorities must treat all suppliers equally and in a non-discriminatory way (e.g. not setting tender requirements which are easier for locally based contractors to comply) and act in a transparent manner. • Contracting authorities must run a tender exercise following one of the specified procurement procedures in awarding its contracts – either the "open", "restricted", "competitive dialogue" or "negotiated" procedure – and follow certain minimum time limits in carrying out the tender exercise. If a contracting authority breaches any of its duties and/ or awards a contract without following a proper tender process, it will be at risk of a procurement challenge from unsuccessful suppliers or others within the market. Successful claims can result either in a contract being cancelled, a fine and damages claims. Case Study: Poland All of these principles apply across the EU. However, different states implement the core principles in a slightly different manner. There are many requirements which need to be observed arising from local legal systems and business culture which may change the practical application of the core principles. In order to explain how the Polish authorities approach procurement, it assists to compare it to another long established system such as the procurement system in the UK. Here are some examples of differences between Poland and the UK: • There are a significant number of formalities required by Polish contracting authorities to protect tenderer commercial information and to evidence compliance with tax and company solvency. • It is a common requirement for documents submitted with tenders in Poland to be "notarised". See the case study below for more information in the context of criminal convictions. Notary practices in Poland differ from those in other parts of CEE and the UK. • Competitive dialogue is used conservatively. Polish authorities procure projects using the open or restricted procedures which in the other states, such as the UK, would use competitive dialogue. Arguably this increases the risk of a "lowest cost wins" approach and less opportunity for contracting authorities to fully explore different potential solutions and nuances in their own requirements.• Clauses in Polish public contracts are often drafted heavily in favour of contracting authorities with high contractual penalties and no liability cap. There is a general reluctance to move from this position even where commercially this may offer a better option. Contractors should be aware of how these cultural issues may differ from what is considered the norm in international contracting. • Bid bonds are used commonly in Poland as a matter of routine. • Detailed letters of reference from previous clients must be included in tender submissions as evidence of previous experience. This is in contrast to other jurisdictions where examples of experience are commonly given in the tender documents but with the contracting authority following up references only at a later date should the tenderer be successful. Whilst to some this will appear symptomatic of a greater degree of bureaucracy surrounding public procurement in the CEE and specifically Poland, none of it is insurmountable with adequate forward planning. The lesson for tenderers is of course to comply with the formalities as any failure to do so, no matter how small, is likely to result in exclusion from the tender. Case study: Proof of no convictions A classic example of the differences in formalities between Poland and the UK is in respect of evidence of criminal convictions. For many EU public procurement projects, tenderers are required to provide evidence they have not been the subject of a court conviction for corruption or fraud. In Poland this requirement applies not only to legal entities but also any individuals, including company directors and any person having powers of representation or decision-making. This is in contrast to, for example, the UK where documentary evidence is not commonly required. We sometimes see UK companies submitting with tenders to Polish contracting authorities certificates issued by the UK Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) in respect of criminal convictions of individuals. However the DBS provides these for employment recruitment purposes only and the Polish National Appeal Chamber (which hears public procurement disputes) has refused to accept that DBS certificates meet the requirements of Polish law. Under the EU Directives, where certificates regarding criminal convictions are not available they may be replaced by a declaration on oath or by a solemn declaration made before a notary. Public procurements in emerging Europe often require that a range of documents submitted as part of tenders are "notarised". This requires that signatures are made in accordance with strict procedures before the competent authorities "in person". Whilst this is an established principle in UK and other common law jurisdictions it is used far more routinely in emerging Europe jurisdictions. Possibly because there is generally a lower awareness of what "notarisation" means in the UK in particular, it is not unusual to see tenderers based in the UK (and elsewhere) submitting tenders in Poland with "witnessed" or "certified" signatures but which do not comply with the notarisation formalities. This brings a strong risk of disqualification from the tender process.Aversion to risk – procurement challenge Whilst all contracting authorities across the EU are very focussed on avoiding any risk of procurement challenge we find this particularly acute in Poland where there is a greater reluctance to consider any doubts in favour of tenderers. This may be partly because of the greater propensity in Poland for other tenderers to mount a procurement challenge if they suspect foul play. Whilst procurement challenges are certainly on the increase in states such as the UK, they are still seen as the exception rather than the rule. In Poland, it is almost expected that there will be a procurement challenge. Fast track challenge procedures and relatively low fees in Poland contributed to 3,044 procurement cases in 2013 and the figures are rising. Infrastructure contracts in Poland The impression of aversion to risk on the part of Polish public bodies manifests itself not only in the approach to the procurement procedure itself but also to the method of contracting used and changes to the contract post-tender. Poland has a mature construction and infrastructure market for both conventionally procured projects and established contracting principles. For example both domestic and international contracts in Poland tend to use the International Federation of Consulting Engineers forms of contract (FIDIC), with Particular Conditions amended to comply with Polish law (including the Construction Law 1994 and Polish Civil Code 1964). However, their use tends to be focussed on fixed price lump sum solutions. For some projects this is absolutely likely to be the correct solution. But as yet there has been only a relatively limited exploration of other procurement models which in other markets and sectors, such as the UK, Australia and USA and the oil and gas sector are considered relatively mainstream. For example, "target cost" contracts where the contractor is paid on a cost reimbursable basis and the contractor and employer share the risk of cost overrun ("pain") and underrun ("gain") are quite common in UK public and utility procurement but are still relatively rare in Poland. We also find that the instinct of Polish contracting authorities is to automatically pass construction risks to the contractor. As noted above, Contracts without liability caps but with heavy contractual penalties are not uncommon. With clients unwilling to negotiate on these issues, contractors should consider how to price for these risks in their tenders. There is a degree of inefficiency in this approach given that this will result in higher tender prices and yet may be unnecessary if the contracting authority is actually best placed to manage that particular risk.Changes to the contract This does not mean that tenderers cannot and should not seek to influence the terms of contracts proposed by contracting authorities within the rules applicable to the relevant procurement procedure. However they should be aware that: • Whilst in some circumstances there is scope for contracting authorities to change the terms of contracts pre-award (in response to questions and comments received from tenderers) provided all tenderers are treated fairly, it is relatively rare for them to do so. This is particularly the case where the open and restricted procedures are used. It is very important that the contract is reviewed in detail before the tender is submitted to ensure all risks are factored in to the bid. • Tenderers should not expect to have the opportunity to stretch the permissible process of "clarification" of specific contract terms post-award to full blown negotiation of unpalatable terms. This principle applies in all EU states but, unlike some jurisdictions, Polish contracting authorities will adhere strictly to it, and will expect to contract on the terms set out in its tender documents. • Once the contract is entered into Polish contracting authorities will adhere strictly to limits on the ability to subsequently modify that contract (for example decisions such as extending the duration of the contract or its scope). If it was not envisaged in the original contract then a significant change is likely to require a new tender which of course the incumbent is not guaranteed to win. It is therefore vital to ensure that the grounds for change and additional orders are adequately covered by the contract. Practical solutions The opportunities for tenderers in emerging Europe are huge, particularly in infrastructure and energy. However: • Don't underestimate the formalities which are required or the willingness of contracting authorities to disqualify tenderers for a failure to comply. • Be prepared. Some of the formalities take time to put in place. Don't wait for the tender notice before you have taken the steps necessary to comply with the formalities. • Review the contract before you submit your tender. It will be too late if you want to make changes later. • Take local advice – it will save you plenty of time and costs.

The Lovers' subject matter is, naturally, love-- for the disintegrating city ("I know the modern world is bad, And it's getting worse I suppose every day, But that's where we belong today"), for their peers ("Don't die now, Someday we'll be dignified and old together"), for inaccessible girls. There is anger, too, in both the words and the music, but it is their transcendent agape that may ultimately make the Modern Lovers more than an interesting ripple on the New Wave. Though the band has real flash, Richman's persona is so narrowly eccentric that I found it a llittle boring once the novelty had worn off. At times, his anti-hip posture flirted with a dubious moralism; in a song about trying to win a girl away from her "hippy-skippy" boyfriend he declaimed peevishly, "If these guys are so great, Why can't they take the world and take it straight?" But there were other moments during the Lovers' act when I felt truly exalted, Toward the end of the set, they did a song about driving down the highway with the AM radio on. A familiar theme, of course, yet the treatment was intense enough to communicate that old sense of belonging to an eternal rock-and-roll community-- which is, after all, a drug we've been digging on for twenty years or so. As Jonathan cried "Got the power, got the magic," I remembered the first time I ever saw the Who, the night they sang "You are forgiven!"-- and I was.

Here are five easy ways to save cash on your construction project, be it a small renovation/remodel or constructing a brand-new home.
- Establish a Spending plan! It is essential that you control costs. The very best means to do this is to start with a, "not to go beyond number," put down on paper and also in your mind. You can obtain a rough quote of the expense of construction that you want to be done by browsing the net and also speaking with professionals. This will offer you sufficient details to set your harsh budget.
- Add 20% to your budget to be made use of for unforeseen costs which you will certainly classify your," contingency fund." This total ought to be the final quantity you will undoubtedly pay under any circumstances. Make this number benefit you and also do not launch any part of this money without very carefully checking out all alternatives.
- Decide how you want to proceed, either functioning as your own contractor doing every one of the jobs on your own, or, do several of the building and construction yourself and subcontract some components such as Electric as well as Plumbing, or, hire a General Professional to manage the task you determine to develop. This is your first possibility to stay within your budget plan as well as decrease your building prices. You do this either by settlement or affordable bidding process. You can additionally lower costs by furnishing some, or all of the materials.
- Product Prices– As soon as you have established what you will be constructing and also the technique you will make use of to get the work done, a material checklist will be required to allow you to shop for the very best prices. Here is an area where you can reduce costs by comparing rates, for instance; in between your local lumber shop and also home depot. When you make this wish list make sure you are valuing apples to apples and even oranges to oranges which the high quality of the material is about the very same.
- Material Replacement– There can be substantial savings by substituting an excellent product with reduced valued products. You do not wish to obtain carried away with this approach by going to the extremely lower of the top quality barrel. You need to think about how long this item will certainly last and also how great it will work for you gradually.
Consultant Advice on Saving Money On Construction
There you have a few of the ways I have learned as a consultant to minimize construction expenses, be it from replacing old plumbing with 25mm pvc conduit fittings, remodel/renovation or developing a new home. There is one last product I wish to add, and that is the attitude. Craftsmen that are treated with respect will generally respond in kind. Yes, you are footing the bill but keep in mind the Principle as well as manage the workmen with self-respect. Trust me on this as well as it will certainly repay for you in unimagined means.

Lameness can vary from very mild to severe or non weight-bearing. All cases of severe lameness are an emergency and should be seen by a vet.
This is by far the most common cause of lameness. Other causes of severe lameness should be ruled out.
The foot will need to be pared by a vet or farrier to release the pus and assess the extent of infection. A poultice is often applied to the foot for a number of days.
If a sharp object (such as a nail) pierces the foot and damages the structures within, it may result in an extremely serious infection. Penetrations towards the central foot are potentially dangerous. Penetrations around the periphery of the sole or heel are usually less serious; however, all such injuries should be thoroughly assessed by a vet.
Unless leaving the object in will cause further damage, it is advisable not to remove it so that your vet can accurately assess which structures may be affected. Padding around the object can help to prevent further damage while waiting for the vet.
This is an infection of the skin and lymphatic drainage vessels. The affected limb is usually very swollen and the horse is reluctant to move. Although the cause is most likely to be a wound this may be very small such that it is never found.
Veterinary advice should be sought to rule out other causes of swelling and pain and to advise on appropriate treatment.
Every joint and some tendons are surrounded by a sac of fluid (synovial fluid) which allows the joint/tendon to move smoothly. If punctured, this fluid can become infected (synovial sepsis), a situation which is extremely serious. A wound is usually present but this can be as small as a thorn which can be easily missed.
Lameness usually develops rapidly over 12 to 24 hours such that the horse will be unable to put any weight on the limb. There may be signs of distress such as sweating and an increased respiratory rate. Other signs may include heat, pain and swelling around a joint or tendon.
Synovial sepsis is an emergency and immediate veterinary advice should be sought in all suspected cases.
In most cases the horse is severely lame (unable to bear any weight) with obvious signs of distress (e.g. sweating, shaking, increased or laboured breathing). There may be obvious injury and swelling to the limb; however the location of some fractures may not be immediately apparent. Some injuries, particularly kicks from other horses, can result in damage to the bone without severe lameness at the time of injury. These should be thoroughly assessed by your vet (see Kicks).
This is a severe form of muscle cramping which most often happens soon after the onset of exercise. It can vary greatly in its severity and may be very serious in some cases.
Do not move the horse except on to a trailer/to a nearby loose box
Injuries to the tendons on the back of the lower limbs below the knee or hock (the superficial and deep digital flexor tendons) commonly occur. They can be due to direct trauma (e.g. sheep wire) or to stresses and strains put on the tendon during work, in which case there is no associated wound. Early signs of tendon strain may be very subtle with only an increased sensitivity on palpation or mild swelling and heat in the area. In more severe cases there may be obvious swelling and bowing (a curved appearance when viewed from the side) of the tendon and an acute onset of moderate to severe lameness.
If you notice any abnormality around the tendon area you should consult your vet before turning the horse out or continuing with work. Traumatic injuries involving the tendons will always need urgent veterinary attention.
Severe strains/rupture:
Laminitis is inflammation of the soft tissues (laminae) that join the pedal bone to the hoof capsule. It can occur due to hormonal problems, diet, trauma
or secondary to other illnesses.
Urgent veterinary advice should be sought in all cases of laminitis; early treatment is essential to minimise the damage to the foot.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Threatens Donald Jr
Congresscommie elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a true leftist. That is to say, she is a thug. Not even having taken office yet, she is already abusing her power. Here she threatens Donald Trump Jr:
I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up.
Please, keep it coming Jr – it's definitely a "very, very large brain" idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.
Have fun! https://t.co/oQ6MsdJYCk
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 7, 2018
In other words, Stop making fun of me or I will use the force of the federal government to retaliate.
Alexandria's threat was in response to this Instagram post:
She has committed a clear ethics violation, as members of Congress are not allowed to threaten punitive action. But what fun is power if you can't abuse it to crush your opponents, and what's the point of being a Marxist like Alexandria if not to achieve power?

As part of the project I'm involved with in the Honey Bee Products Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) I recently delivered a short presentation on current research work at the Western Australian Herbarium.
The project aims to provide a detailed phenological (flowering) analysis of the native flora species used for the foraging of pollen and nectar by honey bees (Apis mellifera). However, the issues are these:
|Figure 1. Herbarium specimen of Eucalyptus capillosa
Table 1. Classification of 'wandoo', according to Nicolle (2019). Taxa in grey are no longer considered 'current'.
The research question, therefore, was —
'if apiarists continue to identify their bees foraging species by the broad concept of 'wandoo', yet they perceive differences in the tree (or the honey), then do these differences correlate to the modern taxonomic concepts?'
To investigate, the best recourse was to rigorously score the flowering condition of all the well-identified voucher material in the WA Herbarium, of which there are thousands of specimens. The herbarium specimen label data has all been databased and geocoded where possible and one of the current generation of scientific curators – Malcolm French – had recently been through the collection and applied the most recent species concepts in the form of determinavit and confirmavit slips (Figure 1).
|Each specimen was scored as to whether it was sterile, in bud, flowering or carrying either immature (current season) or mature (previous seasons) fruit; specimens without a date or geocode were not scored. The data was scored in line with current herbarium data standards so that once complete the data can be associated back with each specimen record in the WAHERB database.
In Figure 2 you can see the effect of Brooker and Hopper's work. Before 1991 all these points were considered a part of a large and variable Eucalyptus wandoo species. Subsequently, six distinct entities were recognised.
Note also, you can see the number of records for each taxon on the right panel, and on the bottom widget you can see a breakup of the number of records by month.
In Figure 3 you can see just the set of records for which flowers were present, and you'll notice that the pattern of collecting per month – with a peak in spring, differs from the pattern of flowering where the peak is in summer. This is a type of collector bias commonly seen, and one can't assume that all collections possess flowers.
|Figure 2. Distribution of collections of Eucalyptus wandoo and related taxa
Figure 3. Flowering records of Eucalyptus wandoo and related taxa
|Figure 4 shows just the flowering records of the most common Eucalyptus wandoo subsp. wandoo. You can discern the three peaks of flowering in the data – summer, autumn and spring.
By contrast, Figure 5 shows specimens of Eucalyptus wandoo subsp. pulverea occurring in the northern-most parts of the species range and show a distinct trend towards flowering in autumn.
Differences in flowering time may be discerned across all the 'wandoo' group of taxa. The next steps are to visualise the flowering times across latitude.
Preliminary data for variation in flowering time as a response to latitude is exemplified in Figure 6 by previous recent work on Marri (Corymbia calophylla), where the data shows that the peak for flowering in latitudes north of Perth is in February, while the clear peak in flowering south of Perth is a month later, in March.
The figure also contains a simple graph showing that across the species range for Marri the peak in the occurrence of buds is in February, whilst flowering peaks in March. And while eucalypt nuts persist on a tree for a number of years after flowering, it is apparent from the data that the development of capsules appears to peak around six months after flowers are fertilised.
|Figure 4. Flowering records of Eucalyptus wandoo subsp. wandoo
Figure 5. Flowering records of Eucalyptus wandoo subsp. pulverea
Figure 6. Corymbia calophylla (Marri) flowering data by degrees of latitude
Further vouchered specimen data is being captured for additional native species on which honey bees forage. This will provide further verifiable evidence for flowering and fruiting times across these species ranges. With enough data it may be feasible to model the effects of future climate scenarios on the distribution of foraging species, as well. Through this work I've been doing with the Honey Bee Products CRC team, and with the specimens in the Western Australian Herbarium, we've already started to add the data we need to answer the questions that the apiarists are posing.
Why not try out this prototype phenology tool that I've also prepared using the 'wandoo' data yourself? Then leave a comment below, start a chat with me via Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, or email me directly via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Trade finance solutions specialist pledges commitment to secure, efficient, multi-bank messaging and trade flows at SIBOS 2014
Bolero International has announced formal support for the SWIFT MT798 corporate-to-bank message set from the Bolero network. The development is in response to requests from some of the 80-plus banks it works with to simplify back office integration for bank-to-corporate messaging.
Announcing the move at the SIBOS 2014 conference in Boston, Massachusetts, Bolero CEO Ian Kerr said: "Support for the MT798 was an obvious step in Bolero's vision to moving to truly electronic international trade. This announcement demonstrates our pledge to simplifying connectivity for our banking partners. Bolero's commitment to develop a digitised trade ecosystem is based on the vision of a fair exchange of value between all participants on the Bolero network, regardless of whether they are a bank, corporate or logistics provider."
Bolero operates a secure, open trade-messaging platform that provides support across all trade settlement types for the exchange of documents and data. This latest announcement deepens its longstanding commitment to provide support for multiple message types and standards across its open network, including the DTA format in Germany/Central Europe and, most recently, integration into shipping portals to provide seamless Electronic Bill of Lading support.
"The Bolero vision has always stated that genuine, large-scale migration to electronic trade on an international basis will only come by developing an interoperable, multi-format network, with access via proprietary or third-party applications," added Kerr. "I am delighted to say that support for SWIFT MT798 is a further step towards this reality."
Bolero has also announced that it is entering the SWIFT Partner Programme to further strengthen the relationship between the two organisations.

If you are injured in a car crash, you should try to gather as much information at the accident scene if possible. The more information you have, the more beneficial it will be for your claim, and the easier it will be to file a claim with your insurance company and increase your compensation. The first piece of information you should obtain is the other party's car make, year, model, license plate number and vehicle i.d. number. It is also important to gather the names addresses, and contact numbers of everyone involved in the accident, as well as the driver's insurance information. If there are any witnesses, you should get their contact information as well. Taking photos or videos of the accident will also help your claim. If you or anyone else is injured, call emergency medical services. Make sure to get the name and badge number of the police officer at the scene, and request a police report as well. If your vehicle is blocking traffic or in any travel lane, try to move it to a safe location if you are able.
There are also some things you should not do if involved in a car accident. Although you may be distressed, do not confront the other driver in a physical or aggressive manner. If the other driver flees the scene, do not follow them. You may be putting yourself and others in danger and such actions will not help your claim. Also, do not give detailed statements to anyone but law enforcement. Your attorney can speak with the negligible party's attorney, insurance companies and adjusters on your behalf to help maximize the compensation you are owed.

In San Francisco, California, women in the tech sector make about 6 percent less than men who perform similar jobs. This was according to data compiled by a recruiting firm called Hired. Nationally, women in the technology sector made 3 percent less than men. Where a woman worked was not the only variable that impacted the pay gap she may experience. Those who worked in Boston had a 9 percent pay gap, and that figure had not changed in the past year.
Many diverse TV writers experience workplace discrimination
Being a TV writer in California can certainly present many interesting and rewarding opportunities. However, diverse writers working in the television industry may not have such a positive attitude about this profession, according to the results of a report prepared by a group of working TV writers and a therapist. The report found that more than 60 percent of writers who are women, non-binary, LGBTQ, people of color or individuals with disabilities experienced discrimination, bias and/or harassment.
Oracle, other tech companies face allegations of discrimination
Some California tech employees may be aware that their industry has been plagued with allegations of workplace discrimination. A number of companies, including Microsoft, Uber, Google and Spotify, have faced complaints about discrimination and harassment. While companies are making efforts to address these complaints, a 2018 survey by an anonymous workplace app, Blind, found that nearly three-quarters of tech workers said they did not trust human resources.
Age discrimination may be on the rise in the US
As workers reach retirement age, the way they are treated by employers can change significantly. Forced early retirement or layoffs are more common than many believe, according to recent research. For Californians in their 50s and beyond, job prospects can be discouraging.
Both genders can face employment discrimination
Both men and women can be victims of gender discrimination if they apply for jobs traditionally held by the opposite sex. For instance, if a man in California decides to be a housekeeper, he may have a harder time getting the job because of his gender. The same could be true of a woman who wants to be a janitor or work in another industry dominated by males.
116th Congress bans LGBTQ job discrimination in the House
The legislative gains advanced by the LGBTQ community in California have spread all the way to the nation's capital. With the Democrats taking control of the 116th Congress on Jan. 3, they voted to update the rules for employment at the House of Representatives by banning job discrimination against LGBTQ people. A representative who is an open member of the LGBTQ demographic pushed for the change.
Facebook accused of discrimination in job ads
A gender discrimination complaint was filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, alleging that Facebook and others have used the social media platform to post biased job advertisements. Specifically, a group of women who use Facebook claim that certain job ads were targeted so that they did not appear to women on the site. Rather, the help wanted ads were shown only to men. California employees and people looking for jobs might be entitled to claim damages if they've been discriminated against during the hiring process.
How employees should deal with workplace discrimination
Even though most forms of workplace discrimination is illegal in the state of California, there are some who still experience it. Those who are actively discriminated against often find that their productivity and progress is impacted. They may also experience anxiety and work-related stress. However, there are certain steps workers can take to eliminate discrimination.
Some veterans confront workplace discrimination
Some San Fernando Valley veterans with less than honorable discharges from the military may be concerned about the threat of discrimination when seeking jobs due to their discharge status. Many people with this discharge status were removed for minor offenses that would not be penalized outside the military. For example, one veteran said that he received a general discharge in 2007 because he attempted suicide, and he has experienced rejection when seeking jobs due to the discharge record.
Strategies to minimize potential age discrimination at work
As a California worker ages, he or she faces the risk of being pushed out by an employer. As a general rule, women are more likely to experience age discrimination than men. This is partially because of cultural perceptions that men get better with age while women become less valuable. While the law forbids age discrimination, proving it can be difficult.

Rihanna and Anne Hathaway might not seem like the most obvious fashion partners in crime, but it turns out the rude girl's following in the fetishistic footsteps of the Les Mis star.
Rihanna, who isn't known for being a wallflower in the fashion stakes, donned these incredible thigh-high Tom Ford sandals which would be tricky for most to pull off, but somehow she's managing it.
First rocked in black by Anne, these skyscraping shoes require one cracking pair of pins to pull them off. The actress certainly ticks that box, although she decided to play it safe at the American Les Miserables premiere, teaming the eye-popping footwear with a black Tom Ford taffeta dress.
Rihanna on the other hand… Well, she 'Rihanna-ed' those shoes good and proper! Pairing her beige strappies with a fabulous Mary Katrantzou leather T-shirt and some barely there hotpants.
Latest Stories
We can't decide whether we prefer Anne's understated glamour or Riri's all-out party feet, but neither of these ladies slip under the fashion radar in these showstoppers.
It's a good job neither of them take public transport – we'd love to see them try to whip these off in a hurry and leg it for the bus…

If you got to spend an entire Saturday afternoon with your friends in NYC what would you do? We crawled our way through the city… no not literally… but thanks to an activity. The first annual Abba Jabba, KT & Frappalicious cupcake crawl. That's right people!!!! We ate our way through cupcake specialty shops and bakeries – starting in midtown, meandering to Chelsea, then Chelsea Market, walking through the West village (we didn't stop), hitting up East village and finishing up on the Lower East Side. Almost 5 hours of walking… no form of public transportation assisted us in this endeavor… all in the name of finding the BEST cupcake in NYC. It was… AMAZING (although, my feet are throbbing as I type up this entry).
authors note: the naming of this crawl is based on the nicknames we gave one another during grad school. Abigail became Abba Jabba, Katie was… unoriginal… KT (it's all in the way you say it), and I (due to my last name) became Frappalicious… whenever we get together… we resort to our names.
Abba Jabba, KT & Frappalicious cupcake crawl
the rules:
1. first impressions of the cupcakes
2. cake quality
3. frosting quality
4. would we want to eat it again
5. bakery / shop impressions (staff, decor, etc)
We pooled together 60$. We selected 7 locations. We pulled on comfortable shoes and … we hit the road.
FIRST STOP: Kyotofu (705 9th Ave, near 49th, midtown)
Reactions: "Delicious chocolate MUFFIN… but I'm not wasting my calories on this" / "Sigh. Nothing to say. NOT a cupcake" / "Excellent chocolate muffin – moist and rich and chocolatey… but where is the fucken FROSTING?!"
Reactions: It was spit out. Seriously. SPIT OUT! / "Dry, dry, dry" / "Not a good muffin. But still a muffin. Where's the crunch? Where are the sesame seeds? I made a better banana muffin when I was 10 yrs" (fyi – it was not me that said that),
Cost of muffins: $7.08 – not worth the money. AND we couldn't stay in and enjoy our purchases. We actually ate these muffins outside, next to a brick wall. No added points there. Keep walking.
SECOND STOP: Billy's Bakery (184 Ninth Ave., nr. 21st St., Chelsea)
Inside the bakery: fun, 50s retro, colourful, busy, country kitchen feel… and we could sit down to judge!

2nd Annual Woolly Worms Weather Prediction
Do you believe that a woolly worm can predict weather ?
Last year, I wrote about woolly worms weather prediction in this post, but it is hard to judge whether the predictions came true or not.
For last year, the 2014-2015 winter, the woolly worms seemed to predict accurately. We had a typical winter with off and on snowstorms of which some had pretty deep and long-lasting snows. Our temperatures didn't seem as low as they had been the previous season, but maybe my recollections were affected by having to replace our heat pump during the previous winter.
Yeah, can we say huge bite out of the savings account. But that's what it is for, right?
But this year, my daughter and I began to look for our little prognosticator in October. I don't think any of the photographers and videographers from Animal Planet or National Geographic need to think we are going to take over their jobs. It is so hard to film those little woollies.
First of all, you see them all around and tell yourself " Hey, this is perfect. Let me get some footage of these woollies." So you get the camera and get ready to shoot…………….
Hey, where did it go?
They can move fast when they want to and are gone under a leaf or into a crack somewhere and there goes your plan. But I did manage to catch a few on film.
Don't Crawl Up My Arm!
You wouldn't believe if there had been a video of me when I found a woolly bear on my front porch one late afternoon. I thought "This is perfect but there is better light out back for the video. So let's get her moved out back on the deck."
OK, now I like bugs. But I don't like them ON me. So I go get a rolled up sheet of newspaper so that I can flick her up on it, and then walk to the back door with her to film on the deck. Well, I get her on the newspaper and head in the front door, and she is crawling quickly across that paper toward my ARM. Twirl around and back out the front door I go and set her back down.
I kicked off my flip flops and decide I will need to make a run for it…..and let's not tempt fate and try it in flip flops. Bare feet will give me more traction. So off I go.
Well, on the third try, I made it. Hint: Turning the newspaper upright, she keeps crawling upwards (most of the time) and won't get on you. So if you can flip it carefully, she won't be able to crawl on you.
I got her on to the back deck and that is where I filmed her on the green table. Took her a while to "wake up." A defense mechanism is to roll into a ball with all her bristles out and lie there until the predator goes away or spits you out?
My daughter and I chased woolly bears when we could find them on patio umbrellas, concrete walks, into chrysanthemum bushes…..and even across patio tables.
And since these were all just brown/orange with almost no black…………I am happy to predict that it will be a mild winter. Yeah, that's my weather prediction.
These weather-predicting woolly bears have 13 body segments and each segment represents a week of winter weather. Dark brown or black is bad weather and the lighter golden brown is milder weather. Starting from the head, I see a minor amount of darkness, and then the rest of the woolly bear is light brown. So that is why I believe she is predicting a mild winter.
For what it's worth.
Here are the winter weather predictions based on the Festival in Banner Elk, North Carolina. Their winner predicted a milder winter also. http://abc11.com/weather/woolly-worm-predicts-snowy-then-mild-winter-in-nc/1042115/
We had a lot of fun chasing down our woolly bears for this project. It was all for fun and no woollies were hurt in our quest for knowledge.

The Fanconi Anemia Registry is a natural history study that consists of electronic surveys to collect information about the patient experience and disease progression. It is a versatile online system that securely collects and stores data for medical research. Patients, or their caregivers or guardians, can enter information from anywhere in the world. Registry participants can complete surveys about their own disease experiences in addition to learning about other participants' experiences by viewing anonymized aggregated survey data.
The Fanconi Anemia Registry is a powerful opportunity for individuals with FA and their family members to contribute directly to research that will enhance our understanding of the disease, thus facilitating the development of new diagnostic and treatment options. Participation is especially vital given the rarity of FA – every patient experience is a unique and invaluable part of the natural history of FA.
FARF runs the registry in collaboration with the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), an independent charity that built its natural history study platform as part of its mission to help identify and treat 7,000 rare diseases. FARF is a member of NORD and the organizations work together to eliminate the challenges that rare disease patients face. FARF is the custodian of the registry and the data contained in the registry and will be your main point of contact throughout your participation in the registry study. Each patient is the sole owner of their own data.
Participation in the Fanconi Anemia Registry is free and voluntary, and participants may withdraw at any time.
The Fanconi Anemia Research Fund will ensure that data privacy and confidentiality are strictly maintained. Only authorized personnel at FARF will have access to the individual data. If data is requested for research purposes, it will always be provided in a de-identified manner. The data is made anonymous and stored securely in an online portal.
Any patient with a diagnosis of Fanconi anemia may join this registry.

Strength and softness meet in a metal mesh room divider.Interior dividers can be functional to a fault. If a partition is all you need, then even drywall would do the trick. A custom-built metal curtain in the University of Baltimore's new law building, however, brings an architectural sensibility to the problem of dividing one space into two. The curtain bisects the lobby with stainless steel, woven into mesh for a unique and uncharacteristically soft texture. Maryland-based Cambridge Architectural engineered and installed the custom mesh curtain for the John and Frances Angelos Law Center at the University of Baltimore. The building, designed by Behnisch Architekten and Ayers Saint Gross, won best facade in AN's first annual Best of Design Awards. The divider is a continuous 33-foot curtain of architectural stainless steel in the building's seventh-floor lobby. (A second divider, also designed by Cambridge Architectural, is located near the snack bar on the ground floor.) Made of small triangular volumes between a mesh weave, the curtain's opacity varies based on the angle of the viewer. The Angelos Law Center curtain is longer than previous applications of similar systems, said Cambridge Architectural's engineering manager Jim Mitchell. Many dividers the company has installed are less than 20 feet long, and are often split in the middle. The tabs and aluminum tracks that hold the 500-pound curtain in place are marine-grade—that is, they are fit for sailing rigs. The metal curtain can be pulled open and closed like a security gate, but it retains the smooth movement and look of a curtain. "It gives it the appearance more of a tapestry than a panel, which typically is tensioned and rigid," said Mitchell. The fabric-like texture is made possible by the closely woven pattern. "The larger ones look more industrial, and they're a little bulky when they fold up. But the smaller spirals tend to fold and roll together."

Introduction: Faux Window Mood Light
For all of you currently living in your parents' basement or will move back to live in your parents' basement, dress out your windowless abode with this neat faux window mood light. Btw, your own room has already been rented out long ago.
Build this if you want to similate the morning glow of a red dawn armageddon or the cool blue of an Aurora Borealis. Light up your batcave in any hue of the rainbow.
This is a basic LED strip light in a shadowbox. Use this as a base unit to expand upon with microcontrollers and whatever else
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: Sourcing Your Points of Light...
This quick project was done using materials I had around the house.
I still had the 18 x 24 x 6 inch cardboard shipping box from when Instructables sent me a batch of goodies to play with. It was a nice sturdy box and the outside was white instead of the kraft paper brown.
The LED light strip was part of that Tech Box. I had used it for my Doctor Who Time Crack in the Universe Wall Light. (RGB LED remote controlled light strip, TaoTronics 5050 RGB 300 LED strip light (TT-SL007)) It has several modes of operation to animate the lights.
I used a cutting from my roll of patterned clear plastic shelf liner material to use as the bezel of the lightbox. The shelf liner also helps to diffuse the bright LEDs. This is not that adhesive shelf liner contact paper. Stick two sheets back to back to form a non sticky plastic sheet if you are using that. You could also use an old bedsheet or light colored garbage bags. Try laminating a layer of plastic shopping bags with just an iron.
The only thing I needed to get was a set of vinyl venetian window blinds to complete the look. You can use any kind of window covering or treatment you like to include various types of shades or curtains. I just got a cheapo set of blinds that worked out fine for this.
And you need the usual crafting tools, glues and tie wraps or tape.
CAUTION: Cutting instruments like utility knives and scissors are sharp. Hot glue is hot. Very hot.
Step 2: Box It In...
The enclosure for the unit can be made of anything you want. It is essentially just an open framed box.
The front and sides can be from laser or CNC cut plywood, 3D printed if you have lots and lots of time, or just knocked together with some 2 x 4 timbers.
You can get real fancy and dress it up with moulding to delineate window panes or give it a fancy border trim. Here, I just modded my shipping box. I used the width of my yardstick as a gauge to draw an outline of the picture frame front.
I cut the opening oversize so I could fold back the edge and glue it down for a reinforced cardboard edge. On the inside, I glued some extra pieces of cardboard on the corner cutouts for better reinforcement.
Once that is all dried, you can cut a piece of your plastic shelf liner to use as the window pane or covering.
Starting from one edge, lay down a bead of hot glue and adhere the plastic to the cardboard frame. There is a lot of hot glue here so be careful. Allow extra time to cool and use gloves if needed to press the plastic into the hot glue line.
On the top rail, glue in a piece of wood. I had some scrap 1 x 3 furring strips. Cut a piece to fit inside the top portion of the box. Glue that to the inside face of the top rail. This will be the mounting plate for the window blinds on the front. I glued in some more cardboard along the inside top to tie in the wood strip to the box.
If desired, you can print out silhouettes of famous landmarks, skylines, trees, animals or anything you want in order to make this a kind of shadowbox lamp. Trim closely and tape on the inside to the window "glass".
Step 3: It's So Bright You Have to Put Sunglasses On...
Well, at least get some shades.
Test fit to see how your LED lighting strip should be mounted. It is ok if the LED strip is longer than needed.
It has an adhesive backer strip running along its length but I will probably reuse this strip in another project later on. I just punched holes in the cardboard walls with an awl so that I could loop a nylon tie-wrap through and fasten the LED strip. Add as many tie-wraps so that the ring of the LED strip is suspended in the box. Adjust the strip so that all the LEDs can shine and are not covered up by the adjoining strip.
The LED strip has an IR sensor receiver attached in the circuit at the beginning of the strip. I placed that in one of the lower corners. You just have to punch a hole in the cardboard and push it in so it protrudes on the other side to mount it. The tiny sensor has to be unobstructed to get the IR signals emitted from the remote control. Tape down any loose wires in the back.
Route the power cable through the opening where the back cover folds back.
You may have to trim around the back cover flaps so it can properly close.
Turn it over to the front with the embedded wood top rail at the top.
Follow the manufacturer's directions in the box to mount your vinyl window shades.
The mounting brackets can be screwed into the wood top rail which is behind the cardboard.
Hang it up on a wall.
Plug it in.

This is soo cool. I tried to make a faux window in my finished basement years ago using old basement windows. The windows had been removed and replaced w glass block. I got the windows free. I painted them white to give them a more realistic indoor window look and mod podged scrapbooking paper that had clouds, onto the glass. Hung them on the wall and hung a curtain valance in the wall above the top of the windows. Since I'm a female and don't have a lot of knowledge to make something fancy it turned out ok. At the time I made them there was no such thing as the kind of lighting you used, although I did give some thought to building the window structures with fluorescent lightening, but decided not to. I would certainly try this cause it looks really simple and I've used those kind of lights in my house. Thanks for sharing such a simple, inexpensive way to brighten up a basement. Could also be used in another room that lacks light such as a bathroom. Love it!
Thanks. Lighting technology really has come a long way. And you can find it really cheap on the auction sites or even get a generic IKEA LED strip setup. They run cool, very bright for their size and energy efficient. Using real window frames and filling in the background makes for an even more fun project.

Once one of your friends gets married it seems to start a role of engagements and parties and off course the big hen party. This is the girls last night of "freedom" so to speak so it's got to be good.
There are so many hen party ideas to choose from. I suppose it all depends on the personality of the hen! Spa treatments are always a good shout. There are so many treatments to choose from your chicks will be more than happy to participate. Local spa in Ballygawley, Lavender does a fun girly package for hen parties. Well worth looking into if you want to stay local. You could have pole dancing classes, outdoor activities, cocktail making, aw the list is endless. Once you have decided on what you want to do you may want to decide on a theme. Most hens have a theme as it makes it more fun and good craic. I have seen Little Boo peep and her sheep and even Mrs Claus and her little elves.
Location can always be tricky. There are great locations across Ireland like Carrickonshannon, Galway and Dublin. I came across The Jungle in Magherafelt recently that allows you to go "glamping" in little Pods that sleep 8. For those who haven't heard of glamping it stands for 'glamorous camping'. It's basically a way to go camping but with a little added luxury. How cool is this idea! Going further afield you have Edinburgh, Manchester and London and even Spain! Wouldn't it be great to get a wee tan before the big day?

In order to encourage publishers and other content producers to embed metadata into their PDFs, we have released an experimental tool called "pdfmark", This open source tool allows you to add XMP metadata to a PDF. What's really cool, is that if you give the tool a Crossref DOI, it will lookup the metadata in Crossref and then apply said metadata to the PDF. More detail can be found on the pdfmark page on the Crossref Labs site. The usual weasels words and excuses about "experiments" apply.
