The Mirrored Force Resonance from Armin Strom is easily one of our most favourite contemporary pieces. It has the perfect combination of dramatism, mechanical intrigue and astonishingly good looks. The Mirrored Force Resonance was very well received by the watch community, and Armin Strom have delved further into recreating this timepiece, this time by offering it with a unique white enamel dial set within rose gold case. The result? A very histrionic look that combines subtlety with complexities to great effect.
The enamel dialed Mirrored Force Resonance sits within a 43mm wide, 13mm thick 18k rose gold case. The beautiful warmth of that case is offset by the cool, monochromatic nature of that white Grand Feu enamel dial sitting on the right side of the watch. The clear differentiation between the colour palettes results in beautiful contrast, and it's one that works favourable for the Mirrored Force Resonance. The thermally blued lancine-shaped hour and minutes hands are the perfect accompaniment to a very sophisticated look. And the outer minute track encompassing that Grand Feu enamel dial pays tribute to the necessary accuracy of precision timekeeping.
To the left of the dial is where a lot of the magic happens, so to speak. This isn't saying that the traditional artisanal craftsmanship on display with the Grand Feu enamel dial is anything lesser than the mechanics, but whichever version of the Mirrored Force Resonance you purchase, you're going to be doing so primarily for its movement, no less.
You have two regulators visible on the dial, both oscillating in resonance. This complex endeavour is achieved by having the terminal curves of the two balance springs in contact through a complex shape that Armin Strom have aptly named the resonance clutch spring. The theory behind its integration is that by having two regulators beating in resonance, you are able to create a more precise assembly that is less affected by external factors like shock and position.
The movement powering the Mirrored Force Resonance is the Armin Strom calibre ARF16, a hand-wound mechanism. This is an in-house mechanism that features two independent but symmetrically mirrored regulators, 206-components, 38 balancing jewels and a 48-hour power reserve. The finishing throughout is impeccable, and while some may argue that the detailing could somewhat be seen as lackluster, I admire the restraint exercised throughout the calibre.
The Mirrored Force Resonance with Grand Feu enamel dial is but an extension of a collection of timepieces that are completely and utterly above and beyond what we would ever expect a manufacturer like Armin Strom to be able to produce. It's a testament to the will, the tenacity and the gusto of Armin Strom to produce such an exceptional, true high-end high-complication timepiece. The Mirrored Force Resonance with Grand Feu Enamel Dial is available now with a retail cost of 71,000CHF.

Ten days has almost passed since the Decentraland community were asked to vote on when the next LAND auction (for the 9000+ unowned LAND parcels) should take place. With only a few hours to go until voting ends, as expected, it has been a landslide, with over 85% of votes electing for the auction to take place in Q4 2018. In other words, any time in the next 6 weeks.
If you don't know why the second Decentraland auction is attracting so much interest, consider reading the articles below….
>> Here is an article with Decentraland auction and LAND sales stats and facts
>> Here is an article outlining 13 reasons why you should buy Decentraland MANA token
What is happening now?
Since the announcement of the second auction potentially taking place this year, the market has reacted quickly.
LAND Prices Drop, But Sales Remain Steady
Prior to the announcement, you couldn't buy a parcel of LAND in Decentraland for less than 15,000 MANA, now the floor is in the 7,900 MANA region, as LAND owners look to liquidate their LAND into MANA, in preparation for the second auction.
In a panic, some LAND owners are listing their premium LAND at bargain prices right now, and as a result, this trend has helped to maintain a steady daily sales volume. If it is premium LAND you want, keep one eye on the marketplace over the coming weeks.
Record Estate LAND Sales
It would be impossible not to mention two HUGE LAND sales which have happened recently. It seems the drop in LAND prices have also acted as a catalyst for some large Estate sales, with a LAND sale record of $215,000 being paid for an Estate 126 parcels in size, and another $104,000 sale for an Estate of 44 LAND parcels.
New record folks!— DCLBlogger (@DCLBlogger) 5 November 2018
$215,200 for a 126 piece virtual land in #decentraland
(Not mine)
Just a matter of time till we see a $1Million sale.

MANA Token Soars
During the last ten days MANA has increased in value by around 30%, as investors look to take an early position and 'fill their bags' whilst the price is still low.
Twitter traders have been especially vocal about spotting the strong upward trend, and unsurprisingly so. MANA shines like a diamond in a coal market, especially in a time where Bitcoin is settling in the $6000-6500 mark, and many other cryptocurrencies are continuing to decline in value. MANA appears even more attractive when you consider that the second Decentraland auction will be sometime within the next 6 weeks, which will likely result in many HODLing their MANA until then.

○ 21% up since entry in the macro accumulation zone 🔥👍🏻
○ MANA has wicked into the red Order Block 7 times since mid-September.
○ Today is the 8th time.
○ A candle close above this OB will allow for trend further continuation pic.twitter.com/dRg9uzcayn

Looks like $MANA is trying to make some power moves.— Satoshi Wolf 🐺 (@SatoshiWolf) 8 November 2018
Will pick up a bag on the retest of the horizontal resistance, turning it into support. If it does, that is. pic.twitter.com/cWBfvTg6Az
$MANA just broke out of range and is looking to retest 1,280 support. Complete the retest and we go to 1,400 sats. #MANA #Decentraland #altcoin #Crypto #Cryptocurrencies pic.twitter.com/gV3LlNpKQm— Kanapi Krypto (@KryptoKanapi) 10 November 2018
The next few weeks will certainly be an interesting time for MANA on the exchanges. Are investors buying MANA, just to sell higher and profit? Are they accumulating MANA to bid on LAND in the second Decentraland auction? Only time will tell.

The antichrists Are Rising
by Deborah Ann Belka
4/27/2011 / Poetry
There is a thunder,
stirring up in me.
A lightning strike,
that I can clearly see.
There is a burning,
a fire deep within.
A blaze in my soul,
that's flaming my chagrin.
There is a rumbling,
a quaking if you will.
A tremor of great fear,
that I can sense and feel.
There is a yearning,
a need for me to shout.
There is a desire,
not to have any doubt.
There is a temptress,
a storm still to come.
There is a warning,
and I know who it's from.
There is a shaking,
of my hands and feet.
There is a trembling,
up and down the street!
There is a thunder,
stirring me up to share.
Anti-christ's are rising,
so God's Church be aware!
1 John 2:17-19
"And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us."

To reach desperate families who struggle everyday with poverty and lack of health care in Mumbai's overcrowded slums, AmeriCares India has launched a mobile clinics program to provide critical on-site medical services and free medicines in the Andheri East slums.
More than half of Mumbai's population live in slums that occupy only 6% of the city's total area.
These urban slum dwellers are faced with inadequate housing, poor hygiene and lack of safe drinking water and sanitation.
"Squalid living conditions lead to widespread infection, disease, dehydration and high levels of malnutrition in children under five," said Dr. Purvish Parikh, managing director of AmeriCares India Foundation. "With India's slum population rising each year, the situation becomes urgent as airborne diseases like tuberculosis and measles emerge as major public health threats."
Working with local partners and BSES Hospital, a key supporter of the program, AmeriCares India has equipped mobile medical vans that will bring doctors and free medical assistance on a regular basis to a dozen locations within the slum communities. Sai Deep Pratisthan, an aid organisation that works with the needy, helped to mobilize the local community by creating awareness for the program. Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology and Mandira Charitable Trust provided volunteers to conduct a door-to-door campaign to register patients for the program.
The AmeriCares India program was inaugurated by Mr. Suresh Shetty, Hon. Health Minister of Maharashtra, and was followed by a medical camp at Andheri East.
"Taking health care directly to this vulnerable population fills a critical need. We saw 700 patients in the first week alone through our mobile medical van program, and we expect that number to grow," said Dr. Parikh.
Each fully-equipped mobile medical van is staffed with a doctor, pharmacy assistant and driver so that the immediate health care needs of the slum dwellers can be assessed and treated, and proper referrals can be made when necessary. Another focus of the mobile medical unit is to identify and care for patients with chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, and to provide them with a continuous supply of free medicines. Electronic health records for all patients will be maintained to monitor the program and to facilitate patient follow-up.
The vans will visit 12 locations every 15 days on pre-specified dates. Medical services will be available six days a week (Monday through Saturday) from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
AmeriCares India currently serves 21 states across India and has reached more than 10 million people through 55 partner organizations.

«The Last Shade Of Blue Before Black» is the new release of THE "ORIGINAL" BLUES BROTHERS BAND
The Last Shade of Blue Before Black, the new album from the legendary Original Blues Brothers Band, featuring guitarist Steve Cropper and sax player "Blue Lou" Marini, with special guests Eddie Floyd, Joe Louis Walker, Paul Shaffer, Dr. John, Matt "Guitar" Murphy and Joe Morton.
The ORIGINAL BLUES BROTHERS BAND is alive and well. Original members hand-picked by JOHN BELUSHI and DAN AYKROYD for a Saturday Night Live skit have assembled the ultimate rhythm and blues review and have emerged as a powerful entity in their own right. Since regrouping in 1988, to the present, the Band has triumphantly performed each year in international venues large and small.
The Last Shade Of Blue Before Black is the 16th release in the Blues Brothers' catalog, beginning with 1978's Briefcase Full Of Blues. Though born and raised in the Chicago area, Belushi had only limited exposure to the music until filming Animal House in Eugene, Ore., months earlier, where he witnessed Curtis Salgado and Robert Cray perform regularly as The Nighthawks. It's well-documented that Curtis schooled John in the music during his time off set and that Belushi based his Joliet Jake character on Salgado. The first Blues Brothers release was dedicated to Curtis.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a disease caused by the inability of the body to produce insulin. As a result of the human defenses against autoimmune disorders, insulin producing cells in the body are identified as foreign and therefore targeted by immune cells for destruction. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, which is responsible for regulating blood glucose levels through the regulation of glucose uptake from blood into storage cells. High levels of blood glucose can result in damage of organs such as the kidney, liver, pancreas and brain. The main symptoms of diabetes include weight loss, polynuria and presence of sugar in urine. It is characteristic of T1DM for symptoms to develop quickly especially in young people.

The second probable cause is the breakdown of the blood brain barrier which results in fluids moving from the blood into the white matter of the brain causing a brain water imbalance.(Dorsey et al 2013).

text: Guilin China Trip This entry was posted in Uncategorized on June 14, 2018 by Dayton Day 1 On March Easter holiday, my mom, dad and I went to Guilin (China). Guilin was a special place because the mountains were strange and is very quite place, but its still a city, but some places are quite. We went for 4 days 2 nights. I was really excited! I cannot sleep on that night. I woke up and ate breakfast. In noon we took a mini bus to University station. Then change train to Lo Wu. When we got to Lo Wu, we took a bullet train to Guangzhou. Then change an other train to Guilin. When we get to Guilin bullet train railway station, we took a private car like Uber to the hotel, the hotel name Guilin exhibition international. We didn't change hotel we stayed there until we leave Guilin, I found that there was a swimming pool there. When we get to the hotel, we can only get the key only we cannot get inside the room, so we went for a walk, when its 5:00 we went inside the room, we rest for 15 minutes, then we went for dinner. We had Chinese traditional food, it was tasty. We took a taxi back to the hotel. Day 2 The next day, I woke up and had breakfast down stairs at the hotel. The food was yummy, after that we took a taxi to rent a car. It was a gear car. The first destination was the Elephant trunk hill. I bought an plastic airplane which flies really well. It was funny, it looks like a elephant, then it was lunch, we ate a Guilin Noodles. It was yummier than Hong Kong. Then we went to a shopping mall. It was the biggest in Guilin I think. Then we went to swim in the swimming pool in the hotel. The view there was nice there was a big glass, we can see the city, In night there are many beautiful lights. Day 3 The third day, We had Guilin we ate we drove a car to have a walk, the mountain was really steep. I was afraid of heights. When we got up there the view was pretty. Then we had lunch. The food was tasty. Then we had to give the car back to the place where we rent. Day 4 Today is the last day of the trip. We checked out and we took a taxi to the train station. It was too early, so we waited until we can get in, we took a bullet train to Guangzhou and change train to Shenzhen. In this trip I had a great time over there and It was really fun! I like it! I wish I could go there again.

|Quantitative and diversity analysis of biomass collected from Singapore haze 2015
|Lim, Daxino Chee Yong
|Issue Date:
|Being one of most densely populated countries, Singapore is fortunate to be freed of most natural disaster. However, she is not spared of recurring haze that has affected her for several decades. This haze is induced from the massive burning of biomass in Indonesia which resulted in serious air pollution in Southeast Asia. Over the years, increased researches are done to find out the health effects caused by the particulate matter (PM) in the haze. While the studies on the physical and chemical composition of PM are readily available in the literature, information on the biological composition is limited. Therefore, this final year project (FYP) served as a study to compare the concentration of the bioaerosols during the haze period and the non-haze period. In order to carry out this study, bioaerosols are sampled during the haze period and the non-haze period. The haze period is from 11th to 17th September 2015 and 24th to 27th September 2015. As for the non-haze period, it is from 7th December 2015 to 11th December 2015, 14th December 2015, 22nd December 2015 and 23rd December 2015. The collected samples were then undergone Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction and quantification using fluorometry and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). From this two processes, the total DNA concentrations and airborne bacterial DNA concentrations were determined. Results have shown that the total DNA concentrations are lower during the haze period than the non-haze period. During the haze period, the total DNA concentrations are higher in the day than at night. On a contrary, total DNA concentrations are higher in the night that in the day during the non-haze period. As for the airborne bacterial DNA concentrations, they are higher in the day than at night during both haze and non-haze period. As this is one of the first studies on the bio-concentration of haze and non-haze, further researches are recommended to be conducted over a longer duration so that the results obtained will have greater significance statistically. Also, the study will be more comprehensive if the specific species of the airborne microorganisms can be verified with next-generation sequencing technologies.

Large-scale Sobolev inequalities on metric measure spaces and applicationsRomain Tessera[1] (1) Université Paris-Sud, Orsay, France
For functions on a metric measure space, we introduce a notion of "gradient at a given scale''. This allows us to define Sobolev inequalities at a given scale. We prove that satisfying a Sobolev inequality at a large enough scale is invariant under large-scale equivalence, a metric-measure version of coarse equivalence. We prove that for a Riemmanian manifold satisfying a local Poincaré inequality, our notion of Sobolev inequalities at large scale is equivalent to its classical version. These notions provide a natural and efficient point of view to study the relations between the large time on-diagonal behavior of random walks and the isoperimetry of the space. Specializing our main result to locally compact groups, we obtain that the $L^p$-isoperimetric profile, for every $1\leq p\leq \infty$ is invariant under quasi-isometry between amenable unimodular compactly generated locally compact groups. A qualitative application of this new approach is a very general characterization of the existence of a spectral gap on a quasi-transitive measure space $X$, providing a natural point of view to understand this phenomenon.
Keywords: Large-scale analysis on metric spaces, coarse equivalence, symmetric random walks on groups, Sobolev inequalities, isoperimetry

What Is The Filter Bubble And Why Are We All So Guilty Of It?
5 April 2017, 16:14 | Updated: 17 July 2017, 12:25
It's surprising how much social media controls what we think...
Your Facebook feed, Twitter feed, your YouTube subscription box... it's all full of stuff you like. Apart from the odd annoying baby photo and "cryptic" rant, our feeds tend to represent who we are, what we like and what we're all about. We subscribe to people on YouTube that we enjoy and we are naturally drawn to, and engage with, people on social media who share similar viewpoints and tastes to us - which is how it should be, right? Not quite. We're here to explain what the filter bubble is, how it's making a big impact on your political views and shaping your taste.
What Is A Filter Bubble?
We all know by now that the Internet and social media thrive on algorithms - Facebook and YouTube are notorious for it and will show us content for the same people we've interacted with before meaning we constantly see the same faces and same opinions. To put it simply: a filter bubble is the algorithm social media creates for you which continues to show you stuff you like due to you interacting with similar things previously.
Need an example? Imagine your good friends on Facebook all like Liza Koshy; they talk about her a lot, they share pictures of her and articles about her. Because you like Liza Koshy too. You interact with what your friends are saying about her; Facebook recognises this and will then serve you adverts about Liza Koshy, make sure you're seeing more of your friends' updates about Liza Koshy at the top of your news feed and will create positive sponsored Facebook posts about Liza Koshy for you to see. As a result, you're seeing a lot of Liza Koshy content across your newsfeed and it's only reinforcing your positive opinion of her.
Make sense?
Why Is A Filter Bubble Bad?
Ultimately, filter bubbles allow for linear thinking, meaning you're only getting one real view of the world - which is the one you enjoy. By not experiencing other opinions and viewpoints, you become almost conditioned to one way of thinking and absolutely believe your own viewpoint is right and there's no scope to be open.
The filter bubble was most discussed around the time of the US election when there were many examples of Facebook serving fans positive Donald Trump articles if they liked certain news organisations and negative Donald Trump articles if they liked another type of outlet. As a result, we can be served fake news- something all social media sites are now trying hard to tackle- and believe it as fact.
What it means is that our viewpoints are heavily influenced according to what social media is feeding to us and we're less likely to make decisions on our own accord and actually make decisions on what social media is telling us we should believe.
The Filter Bubble On YouTube
On YouTube you're drawn to people similar to you, more often than not. If you take a look at your subscription list then you'll notice they tend to be into the same things as you are, have the same beliefs about things like politics and religion and more often than not be the same race as you are. As people, we're naturally more attracted to people who look like us.
However, we all know YouTube has a diversity problem - and one thing we can help to do to change that is taking a look at just who we're subscribed to and seeing how we can shake things up a little. If you're a white woman in her 20s and into beauty and style, most of the people you're subscribed to will (probably) also be white women around the same age who do beauty. But there's so much we can learn from people of all races and nationalities (we all know this) and actively seeking out some of those channels will help create a more diverse, supportive community for all as well as giving you a different look at the world.
If you're subscribed to the likes of Tanya Burr and Zoe Sugg, why not go and also check out Chanel Ambrose, Jackie Aina and AnchalMUA? Fan of Dan and Phil? Maybe Nathan Zed has something you'll also love.
Ultimately, it's about opening our eyes and ears a little more and being concious that social media plays a huge part in the way we think and feel about the world. By not checking out other viewpoints and opinions, we'll never grow and stay static in our tastes.
So, how are you going to burst your filter bubble?
Be sure to check out our vlogging 101 series filled with top tips on how to create a YouTube channel of your own.

They say it's important to read the fine print. Why? Because the devil is in the details. Earlier this week I was rummaging through my RSS news reader list of Apple oriented-websites, checking out the news, and I skipped some details.
Older Apple-oriented websites have Mac in the name. Mac360, CultOfMac, MacObserver, 9to5Mac, and so on. Mac? Yes, but they're really all about Apple, so it was no surprise to run across an article titled "4 Reasons To Buy A Classic Watch Instead Of An Apple Watch?" Only four? I can do better than that.
Here's why it pays to read the fine print. The four basic notions to skip Watch were somewhat anemic; as if written by a newcomer to smartwatches; almost ad-like in quality. Here they are.
1. It's actually pretty nice to step away from constant notifications. Uh, OK. But I can turn off notifications on Watch with a swipe and touch, and yet still keep in touch.
2. It's great to disconnect and still be able to tell the time. No it's not. That's just stupid. Time is time regardless of which device tells you the time. What's going on here?
3. A watch becomes a unique part of your style and identity. If you have only one Watch, perhaps. Maybe that's why Apple Watch has a twenty eleven hundred different band styles and many watch faces.
Wait a minute.
4. A classic watch stays in style forever. Yes, and beauty– like convenience– is in the eye of the beholder. Look, I'm not going to diss traditional watches. I have my fair share; some elegant and expensive, some more utilitarian, but diamonds are the only thing that lasts forever.
What's going on in this so-called article? Read the fine print, Tera.
While Apple Watches are guaranteed to evolve every time Tim Cook gets up for his annual Apple keynote, classic wristwatches are a long-term investment. The team at Vincero is well aware that a watch is a lifetime purchase.
Uh, no they're not. Vincero? It's a watch company. A traditional, non-smart, non-Apple, mid-range watch company that managed to get an advertisement to pose as a post on CultOfMac and gullible me, expecting to read something about Apple and Watch, ended up getting sucked into an ad. I hate when that happens.
A quick glance up the ladder told the tale. No writer. It was just a Deal section but it looked like an article with reasons why someone would prefer a classic watch vs. an Apple Watch. Poor pitiful me. That flub on my part got me to looking at other Apple-oriented websites for similar deals-posing-as articles. They're everywhere. Is it any wonder people scream fake news? It's becoming more difficult to tell what is fact-based news because news has become opinion and opinion has be another way to advertise.
Yes, all those articles and posts posing as ads track readers. Yes, I know websites need to make money to keep the doors open and the lights on, no thanks to Google screwing up the internet's advertising medium in a mad dash to the bottom of the pay-per-click world, but insightful analysis and interesting perspective is becoming more difficult to find these days.

It is vitally essential to carry out an extensive analysis of the car insurance charges while in the منصة سراج .
The online world is right for and not less than 3, potentially four providers can be checked out really simply.
Comparison of at the least 4 vehicle insurance firms should help in acquiring the ideal offer.
Often keep in mind to examine the qualifications of your car insurance enterprise, particularly if it really is a reduction automobile insurance firm.
Hopefully you'll by no means should produce a declare, but it really is essential that in case that eventuates then the corporate will act within an honourable and credible method in handling your declare.
In fact, you will discover essentially websites that have only 1 owner whereby you could compare their charges. It is always the ideal strategy to own visited many sites when evaluating unique vehicle quotes on earth Vast World-wide-web. It truly is vital to own many awareness right before obtaining insurance. Also, you must assume a couple of couple factors prior to obtaining.
Generally, you should have to supply some private information and facts to own an exact estimate. You'll occasionally really need to give the colour, design, and brand name of the automobile, driving document, the age and sex of all motorists from the relatives, and also other details that happen to be required when finding a quote.
Furthermore, some corporations have a variety of provides of reductions to unique age teams, exceptional learners, and other people that have been concerned a short while ago within an accident, etcetera. These elements must also be regarded when you are evaluating several costs in the web.
It could also be a very good matter to examine different coverage alternatives if you are evaluating car insurance prices on the net. Whilst practically every condition involve minimal legal responsibility protection, the minimums are not completely suitable of defending the policyholder throughout severe disasters. In the event you have insufficient coverage, you could be in for just a really serious credit card debt at the time you are discovered to get at fault.
When seeking the insurance coverage using the most inexpensive cost of protection, it will be greatest to compare distinctive protection while using the similar prices. You should get an inaccurate comparison if you will examine a facet with minimum liability with a entire protection over the other. You won't have the best offer with that. It is best to use a assumed on which kind of protection you would want and also you would wish just before you go and start comparing costs.

With over four and a half months to go before the opening of Flower&Garden Attraction, attendance is already confirmed from a significant number of companies in the Spanish market with representation from Andalusia, the Canary Islands, Madrid, Valencia, Galicia and Catalonia, as well as companies from Holland and other European countries. Flower&Garden Attraction will therefore be playing host to flower and plant producers; wholesalers and retailers; associations and groups, as well as supporting industries (soils, fertilisers, phytosanitaries, composts, seeds, irrigation, etc.).
The key to success for the companies taking part in Flower&Garden Attraction 2018, is the large commitment to investment that IFEMA is making to attract all the big purchasing and distribution groups in the Spanish market and the rest of Europe, through four major channels of activity:
1. International Guest Programme: Each participant may invite, with travel and accommodation paid for, a number of customers or potential customers from anywhere in the world, which will result in high-ranking and quality visitors/buyers.
2. Making it easy for big purchasing syndicates and supermarket chains to organise meetings, under the auspices of the Fair, with their flower and plant suppliers. This same activity is also being undertaken with international DIY and garden centre chains.
3. International promotion and advertising campaigns, in a wide range of formats and market-specific media.
4. Getting maximum benefit from all the synergies with the ability to specifically target visitor profiles of international supermarkets that come to Fruit Attraction from over 120 countries.
To these can be added hyper/supermarkets, flower and plant wholesaling merchants, retailers, importers, florists, decorators and landscapers, market media, etc.
This event is becoming the greatest opportunity for the professional flower and live plant trade industry, where diversity, innovation and trends will be key.
Flower&Garden Attraction will offer exhibitors maximum exposure within Fruit Attraction as well as significant international and national publicity, as well as the benefit of considerable investment in the International Guest Programme, which will bring over 1,000 retail purchasing managers, importers and wholesalers from all over the world to Madrid as guests.
This new exhibition has been conceived to help stimulate and enliven the professional flower and plant sector in two ways. Firstly, to boost the development of current distribution channels in the domestic market, especially garden centres, paying special attention to large distributors, which are becoming important purchasing points for Spanish consumers. Secondly, to create a flower and plant buying culture in Spain, bringing us closer to the higher levels found in other EU countries. Flower&Garden Attraction also intends to be an international meeting point where the flower and plant sector's supply and demand can do business.
Fruit Attraction is celebrating its 10th Anniversary with the largest number of exhibitors since it began, welcoming 1,600 exhibitors and 70,000 professionals from 120 countries.

Website Address: https://www.curriki.org/oer/Presenting-the-Lesson-17343
Ask students to name low- and high-energy activities. List them on the chalkboard, transparency or butcher paper. Ask students to identify the best type of activity: low-energy or high-energy activities? Explain that one is not better than the other. Both types of activities can be done each day. Low-energy activities include reading or doing homework. High-energy activities include running, playing four square, and hopscotch. Doing high- and low-energy activities are important because they provide a balance.
Explain that many of the activities that we do every day are low-energy, so we need to make an effort to make sure that we do at least one high-energy activity every day. Ask students why they think it is important to do one high-energy activity every day. List their responses on the chalkboard. Explain that doing high-energy activities:
•Gives the heart a good workout and makes it stronger.
•Makes muscles and bones stronger. Strong muscles and bones will help us to grow
•Reduces stress and anxiety. Doing a high-energy activity for 20 minutes relieves stress and can make us feel better.
•Improves the immune system which makes us less likely to get sick.
•Increases a sense of calmness and helps us sleep better at night.
•Makes us feel more energetic and better able to concentrate on schoolwork.
The more you do high-energy activities, the better you will become at them. Your whole body gets a workout and gets stronger when you do high-energy activities. A healthy and strong body is able to do many activities well.
Ask the students for strategies for engaging in high-energy activity. Ask them why it is important to make sure that they do a high-energy activity every day. Ask them when, how and which activities they could fit into their days. List their answers on the chalkboard. Some strategies include the following:
•Do push-ups, crunches or sit-ups during commercials.
•At recess, play a high-energy game with your friends or play hard by yourself.
•During gym class, participate as much as you can. Gym classes usually involve doing high-energy activities and supervised weight lifting.
•Cut Screen Time to 30 minutes every day. Screen time is any time you spend watching a screen--watching TV or a movie, playing a video game or using the computer. Screen Time cuts into your time to do a high-energy activity.
•Join a sports team. Your school or community most likely has sports teams like soccer, football or cheerleading. Ask your parents if you can join one.
•Take lessons in a high-energy activity which you like. Dancing, swimming and martial arts are some examples. If you do not know a high-energy activity that you like, try doing different things until you find something you like.
•Do your chores at a fast pace. You can make just about anything high-energy if you do it quickly and move around a lot. Outside chores like raking the leaves and gardening are some high-energy chores.
Now have students brainstorm different activities that can be done during different seasons or weather conditions.
Learning Activity Extension: Complete the Physical Activities in All Seasons Activity (see Additional Resources).
Students will design a Weekend Activity Book to identify how much time they've spent on specific activities that include screen time, down time, school time, and active time. After they have completed their Weekend Activity Books, students will create a Pie Chart of Weekend Activity that further illustrates how they spent their time.

During Roman times, the healing thermal waters in this area were already well renowned. Even today, water from the hot springs can relieve many health problems and simultaneously have a positive effect on one's overall health. The cycle paths that run in their close proximity offer you an excellent opportunity to turn off the cycling routes for a while into one of the thermal centres to take advantage of these gifts of nature.
Fairly strenuous cycling near the wine growing hills can be capped off with a visit to the pool, sauna or massage parlour so you can finish the day completely relaxed. The choice is yours and among all of the offers, you will certainly find what is right for you.
Particularly of interest:
Banovci's thermal-mineral water is rich in fluoride, and at the source, its temperature ranges from 60 to 68 degrees Celsius.
Particularly of interest:
In 1965, unique paraffin thermal-mineral waters were discovered in Petišovci pri Lendavi during searches for oil. Those waters are now the trademark of the Lendava spas.
Particularly of interest:
Health activities in Radenci date back to 1882. The development of the health centres here was accelerated after the building of the Gornja Radgona – Ljutomer railway line.

They may have been invented for older children that have bed wetting incidents. We have definitely gotten our money out of the ones that we have bought. For example not only are they good for bed wetting or accidents with my potty training toddler, but they are also helpful when we have a stomach bug. During these last eight months (I remember because of course I was pregnant... and I catch everything!) he has had a stomach bug twice, and these things keep the vomit from soaking through to the mattress pad. Now granted during those specific times of crisis, we lay out at least two pads to cover the vomit radius. But I would rather pay for these, then to have to clean sheets, mattress cover, mattress all at one am in the morning during the severe sickness of a stomach bug... you know the kind... where your child is vomiting every 30 minutes for at least two hours. UGH!!! This saved this prego momma some time and I at least had some rest in between.
If you haven't seen them or used them check them out... they are a must with any children in the house. Even if you keep them on stock for those stomach bug or flu sicknesses that make their way around the family.
On another random note... since I usually utilize these in the urine prone areas of my toddlers bed... but this fateful time I didn't have it in the correct position. Then I had to figure out how to get urine out of a mattress. His mattress is also a pillow top mattress, so there is no cleaning it and flipping the mattress if it didn't help get the urine smell out. So online I go to research at 8 AM... This tip I found actually worked. There was no urine smell or vinegar smell (even with my pregnant lady nose), so ladies... store this away if you ever need it again.

Certified Seed vs. Saved Seed: Wheat Experts Compare Costs and Benefits
As a wheat grower, you strive every day to maximize yield and profit potential.
Certified Seed is wheat seed of a single variety that has passed an official inspection. It contains no other crops, no foreign material and is absent of certain seedborne diseases. Certified Seed must meet strict quality standards to prove that is has a certain yield potential.
While planting saved seed (also called bin-run seed) might seem like a money saver, it can have an impact on your long-term profitability because saved seed is more vulnerable to crop disease and performance loss. Certified Seed makes your dollar go further with better performance potential and varietal purity. Calculate the yield advantages of Certified Seed with our Profitability Calculator.

Just saw on the news that Target is hightailing it out of here, though I haven't seen any info as to why but I'm guessing they weren't getting the sales they were hoping for. It's a shame for all the employees, a majority of them were rehired after they lost their job at Zellers (when they closed down & got taken over by Target), but now really the only "all in one general" store we got left is Walmart and I don't see them going out of their way to expand all over, though who knows. Good bye wonderful deals & self check-out lanes!
Also, Sony apparently bailing outta Canada too.

1778 Bonne Map of Central AsiaTartarieIndependante-bonne-1778
1778 Bonne Map of Central AsiaTartarieIndependante-bonne-1778
Beautiful Bonne Map of Tartary.
1778 (undated) 12.5 x 17.5 in (31.75 x 44.45 cm) 1 : 10400000
A large decorative title cartouche in the lower left quadrant features articles supposedly common to the region. Drawn by R. Bonne for issue as plate no. B 27 in Jean Lattre's Atlas Moderne.
Rigobert Bonne (October 6, 1727 - September 2, 1794) was one of the most important French cartographers of the late 18th century. Bonne was born in Ardennes à Raucourt, France. He taught himself mathematics and by eighteen was a working engineer. During the War of the Austrian Succession (1740 - 1748) he served as a military engineer at Berg-op-Zoom. It the subsequent years Bonne became one of the most respected masters of mathematics, physics, and geography in Paris. In 1773, Bonne succeeded Jacques-Nicolas Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the Depôt de la Marine. Working in his official capacity, Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period - most on an equal-area projection known erroneously as the 'Bonne Projection.' Bonne's work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards a more scientific and practical aesthetic. While mostly focusing on coastal regions, the work of Bonne is highly regarded for its detail, historical importance, and overall aesthetic appeal. Bonne died of edema in 1794, but his son Charles-Marie Rigobert Bonne continued to publish his work well after his death.
Jean Lattre (fl. 1743 - 1793) was a Paris based bookseller, engraver, and map publisher active in the mid to late 18th century. Lattre published a large corpus of maps, globes, and atlases in conjunction with a number of other important French cartographic figures, including Janvier, Zannoni, Bonne and Delamarche. He is also known to have worked with other European cartographers such as William Faden of London and the Italian cartographer Santini. Map piracy and copyright violations were common in 18th century France. Paris court records indicate that Lattre brought charges against several other period map publishers, including fellow Frenchman Desnos and the Italian map engraver Zannoni, both of whom he accused of copying his work. Lattre's offices and bookshop were located at 20 rue St. Jaques, Paris, France.

Few things are as fascinating as listening without a score to a classical masterwork and imagining the notation, especially the note values. This morning it was a question of a single measure out of hundreds in a "simple" 2/4 piece by Mozart. The rhythms of this measure were so atypical, yet so utterly innocent (on the surface of things) that they defied proper execution and they left me sure that I understood the error, though I did not. In other words, I could not second guess the master at his most diabolical.
No wonder musicians do not tire of his work.

2004-01-11 03:47 UTC DDR Diet Notes 1
The DDR diet should be undertaken where possible on the ground floor. This will avoid the unfortunate death of anyone living below you. When this is not possible, play at reasonable times.
To stop your entheusiasm for the DDR Diet decreasing, attempt more difficult songs. When you start the DDR Diet (Which requires a games console, dance mat and a copy of a DDR game, and a tv, and the owner having legs...or arms I guess) you may find the dances difficult. Start off with the easy dances and progress up. When you are competent at doing any "3 foot" rated dance then progress onto the 4 foot dances. This is a significant increase in difficulty in my DDR game but with a little time and patience I hope to master the 4-foot dances and then continue to progress upwards.
There is a considerable benefit to be had from doing this with someone else. If you have any competitive nature between you then you will put the required effort into the dancing and improvement to keep getting better at the game.
My DDR Regime will consist of approximately 1 hour per day of dancing at weekends and 15-30 minutes od dancing per day. On weekdays dancing shall be undertaken before work (it's amazing how quickly I can go from zombie to fully awake when made to do a difficult dance straight out of bed) and then optionally some after work.
To increase the difficulty and improve the exercise undertaken I intend to purchase little wrist and ankle weights to wear whilst playing DDR.
Some of you may find this regime funny. Hilariously funny. I do too. However, in the future when people can pilot mechas you will find that the "historical documents" show people training for such things by exercising with weights and co-ordination (Gunbuster) and by co-ordinated dancemat training (Evangelion). Ok, so i'm not 14 ... i'm expecting the real world to be just slightly different.
My progress using the DDR Diet will be updated here as and when progress happens. I also appreciate that there really is very little "dieting" involved with the DDR diet. The name is really just there to sell the book when i'm a best selling author.

The reports continue to trickle in. And the news isn't good.
Elevated amounts of lead are being found in the water fountains, faucets and shower heads at schools across the region.
At one water fountain in a Fredonia classroom, for instance, a sample showed that there was 2,850 parts per billion of lead. That's nearly 200 times the state's threshold for lead in water.
At Clarence Center Elementary School, five sinks in the kitchen cafeteria tested above the 15 parts per billion state threshold, results show.
And data shows a dozen classroom drinking fountains at Anna Merritt Elementary School in the Lockport City School District has elevated levels.
Given the number of older school buildings and the higher potential for corroded water fixtures in Western New York, many are understandably concerned about the risk of lead exposure that school children face each time they take a sip of water.
But despite legitimate cause for concern, local experts caution against panic. They point out that lead-based paint far exceeds contaminated water as the main driver of lead poisoning cases.
"I can tell you it is probably a minimal risk," said Dr. Melinda Cameron, medical director of the Western New York Lead Poisoning Prevention Center.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which offers guidelines on reducing lead in school drinking water, the degree of harm from lead exposure depends on a number of factors, including a person's overall exposure to lead from all sources in the environment, including air, soil, dust, food and water.
In September, the New York State Legislature passed an emergency measure requiring all public schools to test the lead levels in all of their potable water outlets – from exterior hose lines to drinking fountains and classroom sinks. Since then, the rush has been on to get every tap tested and to share results with the public.
Water testing labs have been inundated with water samples – 6,000 have come from Buffalo Public Schools alone – and county health departments are scrambling to keep track of test results, which must be reported to them from the school districts within a day of receiving the results. While state law requires districts complete comprehensive water testing at each faucet in each school by the end of the month, it could take much longer for results to be returned to the districts.
Although the federal government has established a lead standard in water of no greater than 20 parts per million gallons, the state's threshold is lower at 15. Water levels considered "elevated" in area public schools so far range from the mid-teens to the thousands.
Meanwhile, private schools are not subject to any lead water testing requirements.
Since the first district results came in last week, schools have been hurriedly shutting down affected water fountains and posting signs or turning off outlets to keep students and staff from drinking lead-contaminated water. Many buildings now face unexpected costs associated with further testing and replacing fixtures and water lines that are causing the contamination.
In Williamsville, for instance, affected water fountains and sinks have been immediately shut down, with faucet and drinking fountain fixtures replaced within one to three days, said Assistant Superintendent Thomas Maturski, who oversees school facilities. The water is then retested. If that doesn't resolve the problem, he said the district will consider how important a water outlet is to the school and whether it should remain in use.
Exterior and janitorial water faucets with elevated lead findings are remaining in service but being labeled with not-for-drinking signs.
"We're taking immediate action to reduce any potential risk to our students and staff," he said.
Districts have also been struggling to inform their school communities of their water test findings. Of the 83 school districts in the region under the Erie 1, Erie 2, Greater Southern Tier and Cattaraugus/Allegany boards of Cooperative Educational Services, 15 have reported on their websites their districts tested lead levels in their water.
Though the law gives school districts up to six weeks to post results on their websites, some have been more forthcoming with the data than others.
In Williamsville, for instance, district officials are updating results as they get them and had notified parents electronically on Friday to check the website for specific school results. A generic letter was sent to parents electronically through the district's parent portal referring them to the website for more information.
The website provides much more explicit detail, with a summary, a list of affected water outlets by school and room as well as figures of lead in parts per billion. Williamsville also has an easy to find link to all of those reports on the top of its news on its district home page.
Other districts like Clarence, Lockport, Hamburg, Depew, Forestville, Silver Creek and Fredonia are also providing detailed room-by-room data with easy to find links. Some districts have also followed up by sending home school-specific letters to parents with test result information.
Districts like Hamburg and Depew provide a one-line text link to their results near the top of their websites' home page.
Others are more difficult to find, though.
The Buffalo School District had posted nothing on its website as of Monday, even though the district had results for 18 of its schools. Spokeswoman Elena Cala said the district plans to post its information by later this week or early next. The district is also prepping detailed, school-specific letters that will eventually go home to parents.
"We will constantly update the website," Cala said.
So far, she said, test results have come back for 15 elementary schools and two schools with high school students, as well as an administrative building.
Lackawanna, Orchard Park and Newfane, were among the districts that provided minimal references to their water results on their home pages, though Lackawanna issued a more detailed press release.
Neither Iroquois nor Cleveland Hill had posted anything on their home pages, despite letters being sent to parents confirming elevated lead levels were found.
Cleveland Hill Superintendent Jon T. MacSwan told The News on Monday the district expects to release its district-wide results online as early as Thursday after it receives reports on its middle and high school buildings.
In Iroquois, Superintendent Douglas Scofield said all of its data is accessible by searching under a "state required documents" link on its "our district" drop-down menu on the home page. But he said Monday afternoon that the information should be easier to find and he would talk with district personnel about moving it out to the Iroquois schools' home page.
Here's a running list of those districts in the region that have found lead in their water, and the links to either the superintendent's letter to parents or testing data:
Clarence Central School District
Depew Union Free School District
Hamburg Central School District
Lackawanna City School District
Lewiston-Porter Central School District
Newfane Central School District
Forestville Central School District
Orchard Park Central School District
North Collins Central School District
Silver Creek Central School District
Allegany-Limestone Central School District
