Canopy Spread: 30-50 feet
Life expectancy: Can live up to 300 years in ideal conditions, but some have been reported to live as long as 500 years. In urban areas, the life expectancy is shortened to 100-200 years.
Wood: Diffuse porous
The tulip tree has perfect flowers, meaning both reproductive organs are not only on the same tree, but also on the individual flower. The tree is also self-pollinating, and it flowers from May to June.
The wood of tulip trees is commonly used for construction grade lumber and plywood. It is used for cabinets, veneer, pulp, and furniture, as well as kindling. The tree itself is used in parks and yards, but it does poorly as a street tree. It's most common usage is a shade tree or a flowering tree. It has a gorgeous yellow color in the fall.
In the past, tulip trees were used by Native Americans to create dugout canoes. Now, it is the state tree of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana.

- If your product is currently registered and the label has not changed from the previous year, please indicate NO LABEL CHANGES on your application.
- Any product that you would like to DISCONTINUE must be paid for the next two years or have a letter submitted stating that the product is no longer in the channels of trade.
- Any registration not received by August 31 will receive a citation of $100.00 per company in addition to the registration fee and the late fee.

24(c), 2ee and Section 18 Pesticides
Coming soon!
What products have to be registered with the pesticide program in Utah?
Utah requires products to be registered that are regulated pesticides intended to prevent, destroy, control, repel, attract, or mitigate any life considered to be a pest, substances intended as defoliators or desiccants and adjuvants to aid in the application of pesticide products.
What qualifies as a pesticide?
A simple answer and guideline is anything intended to kill, destroy or repel. This includes insecticides and herbicides, but also anti-bacterial soap and even bleach. Utah definitions of pesticides encompass finished product pesticides ready for use, concentrates, technical grade products that will be combined to create pesticides and adjuvants.
What qualifies a pesticide product as exempt under a 25(b) exception?
To find out if your product is exempt, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a list of five conditions required for a substance to be considered a "minimal risk pesticide." You can review their requirements online here to find out more.
I want to remove a product that's being phased out, but the online system won't let me deleted it. Why not?
Utah has a two-year discontinuance process for registered pesticide products to ensure that products already on shelves in the channels of trade are registered as long as they're likely to be purchased. Any product that you would like to discontinue must be paid for the next two years or submit a letter stating that the product is no longer in the channels of trade.
What is a restricted use pesticide?
A restricted use pesticide is a product not sold for general public use and can only be used or applied by a certified pesticide applicator or under their direct supervision. The allowable uses of these substances are specifically defined for each product; these classifications are made by the EPA. (Goes to a website that doesn't exist)
My product isn't a pesticide but is added to pesticides to aid in application. Do I still have to register it?
Yes. Products of this type are required to be registered in Utah and are flagged as adjuvants in our database.
Does Utah require registration for pesticide devices?
No, Utah does not register devices.
I'm submitting an application for a new product and the application has a spot for my customer number. Is that the customer number tied to my EPA registration?
No. The customer number is a unique identifier for the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food. If you've previously registered products with us, the customer number can be found on registration certificates and renewals. If not, please mark that you are a new customer and we will create a new account for your business.
Can I send in labels on a disc or a flash drive?
Yes, you can submit electronic files on physical media instead of sending in label images printed on paper, or you can simply email the files to us here.
Do I need to submit labels on all products being registered every year?
Because of physical and digital storage constraints, we only require producers to submit labels that are new or have a substantive revision to avoid filling cabinets with duplicate labels.
How do I log in to the new online product registration system?
Your login ID is your customer number, and your password is the PIN assigned to you. Both can be found on renewal notices for product registration.
I forgot or lost my PIN, how can I get it?
Your PIN number is necessary to log in to our online systems and is found below the customer number on renewal notices for product registration. If you don't have access to that number, you can either use the online PIN Request option or contact our offices to have a letter mailed (or emailed) to you.
What does going paperless mean?
If you choose to go paperless, you're opting to get your annual renewal notices and any late fee notices sent directly to you via email instead of waiting for physical mail delivery. Official certificates and citations will still be sent via U.S. mail.
We have a product that we are no longer manufacturing that was already registered for the current year. I requested the product be canceled, but the online system is still showing it, just lined out. What does that mean?
Products that are already registered are registered for the full year. We show the products requested for cancellation as lined out to help reflect correct payment and bookkeeping when our customers are reviewing their account online. Once the new renewal cycle begins, lined out products will be automatically removed from a customer's product list.
My registration is late and I have both renewals and new products to add. Do I owe late fees on all these products?
No. Late fees are only due for renewed products we have not received by the due date. So to calculate the late fees you owe, multiply the number of products being renewed by $25 per product.
If I'm registering and paying online, what types of payment are accepted?
The payment system accepts most major credit cards and e-checks. For registration fees over $5,000, we require e-checks rather than credit cards to keep our processing costs down.

Aluminum alloy is heated to around 300 ℃ normally, heat preservation after a period of time, along with the process known as annealing furnace cooling to room temperature. When annealing, the solid solution will decompose and the second phase particle will gather, which can remove the internal stress of the casting, keep the size of the casting stable, avoid deformation and enhance the plasticity of the casting.
Heat the castings to nearly in eutectic melting point, and then at that temperature for longer, and then rapidly cooling, let the yuan to strengthen group best dissolved, save the state of high temperature until the room temperature, the process is called solid solution treatment. Solid solution treatment can enhance the strength and plasticity of the casting and improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The effect of solid solution treatment is usually related to the temperature of solid solution treatment, the heat preservation time of solid solution treatment and the cooling speed.

Tritonal stopped into Atlanta on Friday, August 3, to play a set at Opera Nightclub in Midtown. The American music duo from Austin, TX, played to a packed audience with a mix of house, trance and popular mixes from other DJs (Everyone enjoyed that Chris Lake mix, am I right?). Despite the guy who I caught surfing Reddit, everyone was having a great time.
I walked all around that main floor. People were standing everywhere and it was crazy upfront near the end of the night. I saw shirtless guys in every direction! It was a mixture of "Ooooh!" and "Ewwww!" for half an hour.
The next evening featured Gorgon City, an English EDM production duo from North London. Kye "Foamo" Gibbon and Matt "RackNRuin" Robinson-Scott played their house music set to a bunch of stoked ATL fans–enough to make it another packed, hot and sweaty night in Midtown.
Thomas Demey, 27, of Atlanta, attended Saturday night's event. "'Grooves On The Vinyl.' This song brought me back to Gorgon City after the 'Sirens' album. They nearly disappeared off the house map but came back strong with this tech-house banger. I'm in this tech-house groove right now with melodies and lyrics–this hits the spot."
Demey had the pleasure of viewing Gorgon City from the VIP section. "VIP at Opera is always an interesting experience. The people up there are typically not there for the music being played but rather the VIP experience. That's my not crowd. I'd much rather get down with the dancing crowd. People trying to get sweaty (by dancing) and into the music. Ultimately, I spent more time in VIP for this show but I do prefer the main floor." He added, "The only downside is that Opera was exceptionally packed for both this weekend's shows, so that made spending time on the floor difficult–especially if you wanted room to dance."
Space was a premium on both nights, so word to the wise: Go VIP if you like a lot of area around you and want to see these bigger acts. The main floor is not for claustrophobic!
Keep dancing, Atlanta!

The Polimino Family
Jennifer's parents left Chicago in 1974, when she was just a child and moved their family of five to the warm, sunny town of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Their family quickly expanded and soon there were seven children running around the Stimac household.
Jennifer now resides in Denver, Colorado, with her husband, Dan, and their two children, Micah and Malia Grace. They have been married for over 18 years and they long to move back to Hawaii to be by their family.
Throughout much of her adult life, Jennifer's mission had been to teach people how to live a healthy lifestyle through exercise and nutrition. But for the past 15 years, her primary ministry has changed. Now she focuses on being a supportive wife, a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling their children, and writing Christian prayers and books. But her life wasn't always like this...
Click here to read her entire testimony.
Pray For Your Marriage
We made 19 years in November!
Marriage has been extremely difficult for Dan and I and we have struggled over the last 19 years. Sadly, we have come close to getting a divorce. But God stepped in recently and saved our marriage!
We have been though many difficult years of marriage. We went to many different counselors but it didn't seem to help, but we were headed for destruction. All we seemed to do was point our finger at the other person. But in April 2018, we joined Re/engage through our local church and it has completely turned our marriage around!
Each week, the leaders walked us through what God says about our marriage and focused on our relationship with the Lord. We had to come clean with ourselves and our spouse. We had to "stay in our own circle" and admit that "I am the biggest problem in my marriage." This class gave us the tools we so desperately needed to use in our marriage.
God put us in an amazing group with 4 other couples and I can't tell you how much of a blessing they have been in our lives! The Bible clearly says that we are to be in community with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Dan and I had never followed that advice before, but I can honestly say, that has been the most encouraging and rewarding blessing of all!
I highly recommend joining a Re/engage group near you. Whether you rate you marriage a 2 or a 9 on a scale of 0-10, I promise you won't be disappointed! You must first start in the open group, but I encourage you to get enveloped in a small/closed group as soon as possible!
If you just feel like you need to pray and seek God in your marriage, I wrote weekly prayers that coincide with the Re/engage book. I encourage you to download them and pray these prayers over your marriage each week as you go though your Re/engage book together or on your own. Or, if Re/engage is not available in your town, ask your church what marriage classes or counseling help that they provide and commit to working through your issues. Remember, "I am the biggest problem in my marriage" and divorce is never an option!
Last tip: Pray together daily! God can soften your hearts and He can restore your marriage! I promise, we are living proof of this! When we spend time with the Lord together, it draws us closer and we find hope and the strength we need to fight this ongoing battle against the evil one!

I believe that teaching you children to memorize scripture is vital in this day and age. We need to teach them to put on the Full Armor of God so they can take a stand against the devil's schemes. Read more...
Teaching Your Children About Jesus
There are many different organizations that can help you child to learn about the bible. These are some of our favorites that we used to help you teach the Bible to our children. And you know what, you might learn something as well!
Passing your faith on to your children.
There is nothing more important then to know that your children are walking with the Lord. How will you keep them from falling away from Him? Do you have a battle plan?
Do you teach your children to pray for your nation?
More then ever, we need to pray for our country! There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by that there is not another shooting or terrorist attack. Hear in America, we have asked God to get out of our schools, homes, and our lives. Please join me and pray that God will heal our country and put His loving hand of protection over us once again.
Lead your child in the salvation prayer.
Is you child ready to ask Jesus into his or her heart? Mercy is deliverance from judgment and according to the Bible, we have ALL sinned and fall short of the glory of God. As a result of that sin, we all deserve death, but Jesus came down from heaven and had mercy on us...

Anthill Farms Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2013
A cutting edge Californian pinot made by three young guys trained by the best the west coast has to offer. The Anthill Farms guys buy the grapes and do the vineyard work (cultivating the vines) without owning the land itself, which means they are free to decide important stuff like production method, range and focus more time on the things that matter. The 2013 pinot is a great way in, shows the Anthill style (precise and clear pinots with savoury complexity) and is delicious young, though a recent 2006 was a revelation when tasted blind (tasting blind is when you don't know what wine you're drinking).
We don't tend to go in for specific food recommendations but know from personal experience that this is the bomb with a salty, crispy roast chicken, Thomas Keller-style. If you haven't come across this approach please give it a go here.

Netinstall debian with XFCE
(From omnsproject blog: )
Clean and minimalist netinstall Debian with XFCE 4.8 featuring transparencies that work, highly non-technical customizable menus that can be shifted easily to the right side and most importantly, no unexplained freeze-ups and cursor changes right in the middle of a coding session which force me to reboot either RStudio or the system altogether. *sigh*

Seriously, what is with that conspiracy-theory look? I dug this pic up to see if you really had a big nose as you claimed.
You don't. Most people in that sample frame have as big or even bigger noses than you do.
Well... except for that girl who is sitting on the grass. She really does have a rather compact nose.

Top five gnome 3 annoyances
- Hot corner and dock are on the left: I am RIGHT HANDED dammit. So are a majority of people in the world. Stop pandering to left-handers or give us a way to switch the damn things. I HATE it when menus are on the left.
- Gnome extensions are inconsistent and crash the shell often. I installed some gnome extensions to shift the dock and hot corner to the right but they are inconsistent in the sense that they may or may not work. Additionally, they crash the gnome shell one too many times for comfort. The better sounding extensions have to be installed manually from something called "git". I tried to follow these steps: Extensions But I am stuck on the compilation step because of not one but several errors that I can't make head or tail of...
./autogen.sh –prefix=$HOME/.local – enable-extensions=â€dockâ€
- Brightness settings are NEVER remembered! I hate this too. I get it that ATI cards are not the general linux favorite but atleast debian and ubuntoid versions can remember basic settings every time you login even though the proprietary ridiculously screwed up driver is not installed.
- Chrome launches S.L.O.W. In debian and ubuntoid distros I used e4rat to prefetch applications I use the most so that they would start instantly. But here I can't install e4rat... or atleast I haven't figured out how to block fedora-readahead and install e4rat (because there is no rpm for it).
- Terminal and windows cannot be made transparent. This seriously makes me want to switch to xfce4 with debian where things just work AND look good. :/
On the surface, all of the gloss seems nifty and the ability to connect remotely to work is great but these annoyances persist. Worse is I don't know how to get around them so they keep getting under my skin.
Other low grade irritants include:
- Nautilus. Yuckety yuck! Doesn't have a native way to launch in root view. Totally lacks the elegance and flexibility of Thunar. I miss Thunar a LOT whenever I am in file-browser view.
- That top panel: I want it to autohide, dammit! Why should I need an extension to do this simple thing?
- That top panel: I don't want all those icons on the right, I want them on the left or not at all. For example, I don't want the accessibility icon or the battery icon when its not charging. I have no way to remove those because right-clicking doesn't give me any customization options.
- Clock: I don't want it bang in the middle. It's not helpful. I want it extreme right.
- That top panel: I want to maximize windows over it without going into a full-screen F11 mode. That top panel is seriously a waste of screen estate.
- And yes, why can't themes work properly in Gnome 3? I know it's new and all but I hate the clunkiness in general.
- Fonts were miserable but I installed a different font-rendering engine and I am stuck in Verdana now, the only font that looks partway decent. Liberation Sans and Droid Sans still look like crap and give me a headache.
[SOLVED] Turns out the super/windows/meta key is reserved for bringing up the activities menu in Gnome 3. So you need to press it twice and hold it down before pressing any other alphabet keys (that make up the keyboard shortcut). This workaround will make a custom keyboard shortcut (involving the macro/super/windows key) work. (or don't use the macro/super/windows key for any custom shortcuts. Use the ctrl key instead). Source:
- Keyboard shortcuts for applications: Don't work if set under system settings > keyboard > custom shortcuts. You can make as many shortcuts as you want but they won't work. What's the point?! I know you can hit the windows key and start typing but I really like shortcuts. I set the same shortcuts across all my workstations and OSes. Its so annoying that I have to type more and remember what applications are called to get to things in gnome 3. For eg. browsers are always win-z everywhere for me. Now, I need to type win-chro before the icon for chrome comes up and then click on it to launch it. Not cool.

Practice Makes Perfect:
Building and flexing those writing muscles
Yes! This is something that I fail to do. I never make time for writing. And I should. I mean, yes, I sometimes count working on my blog as writing…but I don't make enough time for creative writing. Further more, when I do make the time sometimes I don't want to work on my WIP. Sometimes I just want to write something new, but I don't have any ideas.
If this problem plagues you as it plagues me I have found the cure. Writing prompts. Just google writing prompts and you'll get a plethora of links. Here's one that I liked: Creative Writing Prompts from Warren Wilson College.
And below is a prompt from my weekly Writer's Digest e-mail.
Writing Prompt
You've just moved into a new house and are fixing it up. In the process of painting you find an odd crack in the wall. As you explore further, you find out it's a secret passageway—and you have no idea where it leads. You decide to grab a flashlight and go exploring.
So here's my challenge: by the next post we will all have written a response to ONE of these prompts. If you want to include what you've written in the comments space below feel free!

Morale Matters: Top 10 Keys to Happy Hospitalists

Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2010, April 8-11, Washington, D.C.
Abstract number: 34
Demand for hospitalists continues to rise. Despite reports of high overall provider satisfaction, hospitalist retention and recruitment remain challenging. Identifying specific issues most important to hospitalists may guide efforts to improve and sustain morale. As part of an ongoing longitudinal cohort study, our study sought to evaluate, and guide division performance as related to the 10 most important hospitalist‐identified contributors to morale.
This study is part of the development of a hospitalist morale scale (Chandra et al,, in process), After a thorough review of employee morale literature as well as qualitative comments from 2007 and 2008 morale surveys, the authors identified 54 potential contributors to hospitalist morale, Between April and May 2009, 22 academic hospitalist physicians completed a Web‐based survey, rating the importance of each issue as a contributor to morale and how satisfied he or she was with each issue, Importance and satisfaction with each issue were rated on 5‐point Likert scales where importance was rated from 1 = not at all to 5 = tremendously, and satisfaction was rated from 1 = very dissatisfied to 5 = very satisfied. Issues were then ranked according to an importance score (IS; range 0–1), which is the proportion of physicians who rated importance as 4 or 5. The top 10 issues were then given a satisfaction score (SS; range 0–1), which is the proportion of participants who rated satisfaction as 4 or 5.
Participant response rate was 85%. Importance scores for the top 10 issues ranged from 0.84 to 0.95, whereas SS for the top 10 issues ranged from 0.60 to 0.95. The most important issue was relationship with patients (IS of 0.95 and SS of 085). Time available for scholarly work ranked second, with an IS of 0.94 and an SS of 0.65. The highest satisfaction scores were for support from and approachability of division leaders, SS of 0.94 and 0.94. respectively. The lowest SS was for institutional efficiency, at 0.30 (see Table 1.)
Our study highlights 10 useful keys for program evaluation and optimization of hospitalist morale. Our hospitalists reported moderate to high satisfaction with all issues except institutional efficiency. The vast majority reported high satisfaction with division leadership and with patient relationships, thus representing key issues for which sustaining high SS is the goal. Having satisfaction scores between 0.6 and 0.75, the remaining issues represent key areas of focus for our hospitolist division. Our findings are already being utilized to guide divisional and institutional changes, further the construction of a hospitalist morale scale, and serve as a benchmark for future studies.

"Urinary stones and prostate cancer are the most common diseases in men but unfortunately many patients start treatment too late," Khabaronline quoted him as saying. National Men's Health Day is observed on February 25 and the association has planned different programs on the occasion to raise men's awareness about preventable health problems and to encourage early detection and treatment of diseases. Also, free visits to urologists on this day will be offered across the country.

The Indian men's cricket team, which is currently in Sri Lanka, have wished Mithali Raj and Co. "all the best" for their much-anticipated summit clash of the ICC Women's World Cup against England to be played today at The Lord's, London.
In a 13-second video, Virat Kohli's men, along with the support staff, were seen giving their best wishes to the Indian eves.
"Go for it ladies. Give it to the Poms," was the message given by newly appointed Team India head coach Ravi Shastri.
"On behalf of the whole Indian team and the support staff, all the way from Sri Lanka, we want to wish 'All the best'," said Kohli along with the entire team.
VIDEO: Good luck galore to @BCCIWomen all the way from Sri Lanka ahead of the 2017 ICC World Cup final https://t.co/sfq9y5BwEW #TeamIndia— BCCI (@BCCI) July 22, 2017
Riding high on confidence following their astounding victories over New Zealand and Australia, Indian eves will look to draw inspiration from the 1983 World Cup victory of Kapil Dev and his team and will aim to clinch their maiden ICC Women's World Cup title when they take on hosts England.
India's best performance in the event has been a runners-up finish in the 2005 edition, where they lost to Australia in the final.
En route to the summit clash in the 2017 edition of the Women's World Cup, it has been a team performance for India. Raj has led from the front with 392 runs she is the second-highest run-getter in this World Cup.
Opener Smriti Mandhana began the fireworks at the top of the order in the beginning of the tournament and vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur took it to a different level with her incredible power-packed 171-run knock against Australia in the semifinals.
Veda Krishnamurthy's late onslaught converted a middling total into a daunting one in final league fixture against New Zealand.
On the bowling front, Jhulan Goswami and Rajeshwari Gayakwad have been able to contain the rival batters.
England, on the other hand, are on a winning spree as they have won seven straight games to enter the summit clash. The only loss they had was to India in the tournament opener.
If India win, they will become only the fourth team to do so with England, Australia and New Zealand sharing all the preceding titles.

Leap Through the Double Doors!
Christine Vales
March 20, 2019
2nd Adar 5779 is March 8 Through April 5, 2019
Here we are in Adar ... again! 1st Adar is a Hebrew leap year where an extra month of Adar is added to the calendar year. If there was any month on the Hebrew calendar we had to double let it be Adar, the month of joy and good fortune!
2nd Adar appears like a grand set of "double doors" inviting us to enter the month and end the year with a double anointing of His joy and strength. I believe the Lord wants to bless us and bless us again as we end the year in a double dose of His joy ... especially in this year of double fruit, 5779! May we leap like Naphtali over the threshold of 2nd Adar and watch His blessings unfold before our eyes in unexpected ways.
Double Strength and Double Joy!
Adar means strength. Our strength comes from the Lord, specifically from the joy we find in His presence and not just joy, but fullness of joy! "In Your presence there is fullness of joy" (Psalm 16:11). 2nd Adar proclaims, "Double Strength! Double Joy!" But what does that mean and how do we get it? Jeremiah 9:24 tells us, "but let him who boasts, boast of this, that he understands and knows Me." He is calling us to relationship. In 2nd Adar the Lord's desire for us is not to just understand His precepts, but to know Him and His great love for us. Knowing Him comes when we spend time in relationship with Him. As we make the wise investment of our time with Him, we suddenly find ourselves in the midst of His love, joy and strength. What a great way to end the year strong!
As we pour out our hearts and plans before Him, He may call us to fast as Esther did. Just the thought of fasting may cause our hearts to grow faint, but take courage! That anxious feeling is a lie from the enemy. Spending time with the Lord is the last thing in the world he wants us to do. He wants us to end the year in total defeat while the Lord wants us to end the year in double victory! How do we want to end the year? Defeated or doubly blessed? Instead of submitting to lies, let's agree to submit to God and resist the evil one. May we run and leap into the name of the Lord, our strong tower, and find safety and joy in His presence while the devil flees in defeat (James 4:7, Proverbs 18:10)!
When we receive His double portion of strength and joy we are fully equipped to completely overcome! Jesus tells us our joy will be made complete in Him (John 15:11). The word "complete" means to be thoroughly saturated, covered in every part. He desires to make us complete in every way to render us perfect in the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). This perfecting process has the perfect opportunity in these back-to-back months of Adar. This is a time where He refines, sharpens and shines us forth into the new year.
Ready to Reverse the Curse
He wants to give a double anointing over our communication; artistically like Naphtali and articulately like Esther. He yearns for us to experience true freedom to use our artistic expression and move our bodies to glorify the Lord and confuse the enemy! He wants us to abound in our true identity and destiny in Him, free from any masks that suppressed our joy in the past. He longs to reveal all the angles of His war strategies so we can fully annihilate "Haman" in our lives once and for all. He is ready to reverse the curse over us and speak life and victory over us. As we end the year, lets leap confidently into the new, and see our most dreaded fears turn into our biggest belly laughs (Proverbs 31:25).
The feast of Purim is a central feature of Adar. During a leap year, Purim is celebrated in 2nd Adar so it properly aligns with Passover, which is just around the bend in Nissan. May we make the most of this extra month of Adar. Glean through the pages of Esther again and prepare to enter into the celebration of Purim on Adar 14.
As you leap through the double doors of 2nd Adar, do a "double take" and review the previous monthly narrative and journal from 1st Adar. Check your progress and ask the Lord to highlight those areas that need His finishing anointing. Are there certain aspects where you truly need a second chance? Bring these things before Him. He wants you to know of His great love for you. He wants you to finish the year strong. He is alongside you to strengthen you in His joy, so you can leap through the double doors of 2nd Adar. "For by You I run through a troop, by my God I leap over a wall" (2 Samuel 22:30) and into 2nd Adar!

General Guidelines for safe use of essential oils
Be an experienced and knowledgeable user of essential oils and research all oils thoroughly and/or consult with a skilled practitioner before any use.
Dilute all oils being used with a vegetable carrier oil. Skin test all essential oils before using topically. Each person's body is different, so apply oils to a small area first. The inside of the arm is good for this. The bottoms of the feet are two of the safest, most affective places to use essential oils. Discontinue use or dilute further with vegetable oil if there is discomfort or skin irritation.
Keep essential oils out of the reach of children. Treat them as you would any product with therapeutic uses. Take special precaution with babies, pregnant women and anyone and everyone with allergies, special conditions and needs.
Keep essential oils away from mucous membranes and the eye area and do not put into ears. Do not handle contact lenses or rub eyes with essential oils on fingers. Know also that many of the citrus oils and others may cause a rash or darker pigmentation if applied to skin exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays within 3 to 4 days of use.
Keep bottles of essential oils tightly closed and store them in a cool location away from light. If stored properly, essential oils will maintain their potency for many years.

We Have the Formula to Get Alimony Issues Right
Alimony is Florida's term for spousal support and is governed by section 61.08, Florida Statutes. Selecting the right Tampa Alimony Attorney is critical to protect your rights. Florida's alimony laws remain very imprecise and there is a tremendous amount of judicial discretion. There can be a significant disparity in results from one judge to the next and it is critical to have an experienced attorney to know the difference.
Numerous factors can determine the amount of alimony to be granted, or even whether it will be granted at all. Family courts presently have great discretion in determining alimony issues. Furthermore, there are no guideline calculations to determine the appropriateness of a Tampa alimony claim. If a spouse makes a claim for alimony there are multiple considerations which are listed below.
There are five (5) different types of alimony in Florida which take into consideration the duration of the marriage and the other statutory factors listed herein. The types of alimony in Florida are as follows:
Temporary alimony: Temporary alimony may be awarded by the Court in a temporary relief hearing for the purpose of providing temporary support you or your spouse during the pendency of the litigation.
Bridge-the-gap alimony: Bridge-the-gap-alimony may be awarded by the Court to assist you or your spouse by providing support to make a transition from being married to being single. Bridge-the-gap alimony is designed to assist a party with legitimate identifiable short-term needs, and the length of an award may not exceed 2 years. An award of bridge-the-gap alimony terminates upon the death of either spouse or upon the remarriage of the spouse receiving alimony. An award of bridge-the-gap alimony shall not be modifiable in amount or duration.
Rehabilitative alimony: Rehabilitative alimony may be awarded by the Court to assist you or your spouse in establishing the capacity for self-support through either: (1) The redevelopment of previous skills or credentials; or (2) The acquisition of education, training, or work experience necessary to develop appropriate employment skills or credentials. In order to award rehabilitative alimony, there must be a specific and defined rehabilitative plan which shall be included as a part of any order awarding rehabilitative alimony. Additionally, an award of rehabilitative alimony may be modified or terminated based upon a substantial change in circumstances, upon noncompliance with the rehabilitative plan, or upon completion of the rehabilitative plan.
Durational alimony: The purpose of durational alimony is to provide a you or your spouse with economic assistance for a set period of time following a marriage of short or moderate duration or following a marriage of long duration if there is no ongoing need for support on a permanent basis. An award of durational alimony terminates upon the death of either spouse or upon the remarriage of the spouse receiving alimony. The amount of an award of durational alimony may be modified or terminated based upon a substantial change in circumstances. However, the length of an award of durational alimony may not be modified except under exceptional circumstances and may not exceed the length of the marriage.
Permanent alimony: Permanent alimony may be awarded to provide for the needs and necessities of life as they were established during the marriage of the parties for a spouse who lacks the financial ability to meet his or her needs and necessities of life following a dissolution of marriage. Permanent alimony may be awarded following a marriage of long duration if such an award is appropriate upon consideration of the factors listed in the statute, following a marriage of moderate duration if such an award is appropriate based upon clear and convincing evidence after consideration of the factors set forth in the statute, or following a marriage of short duration if there are written findings of exceptional circumstances. In awarding permanent alimony, the court shall include a finding that no other form of alimony is fair and reasonable under the circumstances of the parties. An award of permanent alimony terminates upon the death of either spouse or upon the remarriage of the party receiving alimony. An award may be modified or terminated based upon a substantial change in circumstances or upon the existence of a supportive relationship.
If a Court is considering awarding alimony to one of the parties, there are several considerations that it must take into account. Those considerations include, but are not limited to the following:
Whether one spouse has a need for alimony and the other spouse has the ability to pay alimony. This is generally determined by a comprehensive presentation of the parties' finances through the use of financial affidavits, financial records, and sometimes experts.
If alimony is to be awarded, what type of alimony will be awarded. This is generally determined based on the length of the marriage and the other statutory factors as discussed below.
If alimony is awarded, how much alimony will be awarded per month.
If alimony is awarded, the duration of the alimony award.
In considering an alimony award, one of the significant factors for the Court to consider is the length of the marriage. The alimony statute has divided the classification of the duration of marriages up into three (3) categories as listed below:
If the duration of the marriage was less than 7 years, there is a rebuttable presumption that it was a short-term marriage.
If the duration of the marriage was greater then 7 years but less than 17 years, there is rebuttable presumption that it was a moderate-term marriage.
If the duration of the marriage was 17 years or greater, there is a rebuttable presumption that it was a long-term marriage
If the Court finds that you or your spouse have a need for alimony and that the other party has the ability to pay alimony, then the judge in your case will determine the proper type and amount of alimony. In making that determination, the judge will consider all of the factors specified in the alimony statute as follows:
The standard of living established during the marriage.
The duration of the marriage.
The age and the physical and emotional condition of each party.
The financial resources of each party, including the nonmarital and the marital assets and liabilities distributed to each.
The earning capacities, educational levels, vocational skills, and employability of the parties and, when applicable, the time necessary for either party to acquire sufficient education or training to enable such party to find appropriate employment.
The contribution of each party to the marriage, including, but not limited to, services rendered in homemaking, child care, education, and career building of the other party.
The responsibilities each party will have with regard to any minor children they have in common
The tax treatment and consequences to both parties of any alimony award, including the designation of all or a portion of the payment as a nontaxable, nondeductible payment.
All sources of income available to either party, including income available to either party through investments of any asset held by that party.
Any other factor necessary to do equity and justice between the parties.
There are other alimony issues to consider in cases where alimony is awarded such as the tax implications of alimony, whether alimony payments are made via an income withholding order, and whether the payor spouse will be required to purchase or maintain a life insurance policy or a bond, or to otherwise secure such alimony award with any other assets which may be suitable for that purpose.

'Financial inclusion needs 4 building blocks'
Four building blocks are needed to give access to financial resources for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and achieve financial inclusion in the country, according to an executive of a technology services provider.
Jim Lim, customer business executive for Asia Pacific of software solutions and services provider Amdocs, said that there are "four building blocks" that are needed to provide financial inclusion to SMEs.
These four factors are: financial access, financial literacy, policy-driven innovations, and potential for mobile financial services.
Lim said the Philippines is in great need of innovation and technology, especially when it comes to economic inclusion. He said SMEs are mostly "excluded from financial access and are mostly underbanked."
"In areas without access to online and mobile banking, it is extremely difficult to have access to financial services," Lim said.
In terms of financial access, Lim pointed out that the Philippines should move broaden access to financial services such as savings, payments, and credit facilities, as 37 percent of the 1,634 cities and municipalities in the country do not have a banking office, and 15 percent of Filipinos live in unbanked areas.
"The lack of basic financial access to loans, banking and other services in these areas causes many small and midsize businesses to be stagnant. The key to creating an economically-inclusive market is granting financial access to these unbanked and hard-to-reach areas," he said, pointing that SMEs make up 99.6 percent of the country's businesses and enterprises.
For financial literacy, Lim said Filipinos have shown lack of education when it comes to finances and understanding their rights as consumers of financial products and services.
Lim noted that only 10 percent to 19 percent of Filipino SMEs rely on bank loans, while 11 percent to 28 percent use other forms of credit.
"There is a need for various government agencies to undertake financial education in cooperation with the school system at all levels. By starting with school-aged children, the issue of financial literacy can be solved from the ground up," the Amdocs executive said.
"The government also needs to provide non-financial services help to SME clients in order to strengthen their operations, including assistance in preparing accounting records, business advice, and networking," he added.
Lim also stressed that there should also be policy-driven innovations by the government — mostly technological innovations — to create more interconnected ecosystems for the financial inclusion of SMEs.
He cited examples such as the government partnering with the private sector to develop mobile financial services or other products for SMEs that can ultimately help fuel economic growth.
Lim also touted the potential of mobile financial services, where the effort to combine technology and innovation can create multi-dimensional financial platforms for SMEs such as mobile banking and electronic money (e-money).
Lim said this would make financial transactions faster and more efficient, which in turn would help the broad spectrum of businesses in the country that provide the bulk of economic activities and employment in the Philippines.
"Slaying the monstrous problem of lack of economic inclusion in the Philippines is possible if it is viewed as a worthy policy objective that can be pursued alongside the promotion of stability and efficiency in the financial system," Lim said.
"We have already met our heroes — the BSP [Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas], Insurance Commission, National Competitiveness Council (NCC), and all of the service providers and other innovators — that have entered the space. All should have a coordinated and collaborative focus on pursuing programs supportive of financial inclusion, including the four building blocks mentioned," he concluded.

Spring Fashion
Triton students share what they're looking forward to wearing in the sunny weather
Spring Fashion
Triton students share what they're looking forward to wearing in the sunny weather
Fanny packs, asymmetrical necklines, white suiting, dark denim, straw hats, and fringe are all in for fashion this spring.
With winter passing, it's time to bust out spring clothes for the sunny days. No more winter coats, sweatpants, or moccasins. It's time for dresses, tank tops, and shorts. There might be 70 degree weather every day, the sun is out until 7:00 pm, and the flowers are blossoming.
"Usually in the spring I bring out a couple of my rompers and some cute tank tops for the nice weather," junior Abbie Magee explained. It is said that when the weather is warmer, and the sun is shining, people tend to be happier. "My spring closet consists of a lot of athletic clothes." Junior Kayla Perley said. "It's comfortable and easy, a t-shirt and under armor shorts." Perley added. Junior Connor Kohan explains what's in his spring closet this year: khakis, t-shirts, flip flops, tank tops, and sunglasses.
Not only does your spring closet consist of clothes, there are shoes too. It's that time of year to wear your favorite flip flops and sandals. Selected Triton students voted if either flip flops or sandals were their favorite summer shoes. With a total count of 9:4, flip flops won. ""Flip flops always. They are very comfortable and super easy to put on and run out the door." Magee said. Kohan says that throughout the warm weather he typically chooses between sneakers or flip flops.
Triton students told the Triton Voice where their top three favorite places to shop for spring clothes were. "Tilly's, Pacsun, and Marshall's." Magee said. "Forever 21, Cinnamon Rainbows, and Dicks Sporting Goods." Perley said we're her favorite stores to shop. For Kohan, his favorite stores to shop at are, "Vineyard Vines, American Eagle, and Vans."
Many people have a quick go-to spring outfit. "My go-to spring outfit would probably be a pair of ripped jeans and a cute t-shirt with Vans." Magee said. "A regular sports t-shirt and under armor athletic shorts, with flip flops and my hair in a bun." Perley said. "Khaki shorts and a light colored t-shirt with low socks, with either sneakers or flip flops." Kohan said.
According to www.stitchfix.com, there are 10 spring essentials to kick off the season. Tie-front floral dresses, ruffle detailed tops, lilac denim jackets, printed sneakers, white denim, tassel tops, rose-colored jeans, sandals, bell sleeve pullover, and pastel blazers.
Spring is here, the weather is going to get warmer and warmer as the season progresses. Say goodbye to your winter wardrobe and free your spring clothes. No more hoping for sunny days and warm weather.
My name is Maggie Bowen. I am a 16- year- old junior at Triton High School. I am from Rowley Massachusetts, and I work at the Clam Box in Ipswich Ma. On...

A plethora of art and culture
The former commercial hub is a hot spot for cultural activity
Schärding is located on the Austrian bank of the Inn river, marking the border to Bavaria. Its colourful townscape is lined with enchanting town houses from the 16th to 19th centuries. Amidst all this glory stands Hotel Forstinger, a baroque building from the 17th century. The famous Silberzeile row of late-baroque houses is right on our doorstep. Another interesting feature is Schärding's town wall and medieval gates, most of which is still in good condition. And even the picturesque Inn promenade is only a short walk away from the hotel.
A diverse leisure programme offers many options whether you're looking for culture or physical activity. Art lovers tend to gravitate towards the Alfred Kubin gallery with its many temporary exhibitions in the nearby town of Wernstein. Other places of interest include the Heimathaus museum, the castle gallery and the Schärding relaxation path. Enjoy a boat trip on the Inn river or go on a guided history tour of the old town. Once a year, Schärding is the starting point for the Race Around Austria bicycle race. There is always something going on in Schärding, and at Hotel Forstinger you are at the heart of the action!

DT In St Michael in the Hamlet
In our school we offer a wide range of opportunities for children to access Design Technology. These activities vary from textile design to building motorised cars. Each year group has at least one major design project and one major food project.
As well as these projects in STEM week we have a Design Technology day where all the children throughout the school are given the same objective and are asked to come up with a solution to that problem. Each year group has a slightly different specification, depending on the national curriculum objectives for their year group.

Around Halloween, I asked the web development community about the worst problems they ever had with web hosting. I made my list and sent it out for comparison. Here are my notes in relation to my network's insights.
In short, I've hosted websites for over a decade and I've settled down to a few good hosts. I've also worked on many, many client's hosts into the wee hours of the night and I'd like to spare you that pain. Here are the top issues I face when dealing with web hosts.
1. Unresponsive or Inattentive Staff.
Unable to Contact Host Provider
Nothing drives me more crazy than when I am trying to work on a client's account and the host team is unavailable either by phone or by email. We all know how many things can go wrong with hosting – from DNS pointers to email to latency – getting hosting set up can be a nightmare. Having an unresponsive host can make a bad situation worse.
In a market as fiercely competitive as Web Hosting, often the first pawn to go is the customer service department.
Sean Nicholls, Lead Software Developer at Logicswarm
Endless Phone Trees
Sometimes you can't self-provision and you need help. Maybe you've encountered an issue you have never seen before. Maybe you have a question on the service level you purchased. Either way, you want to have a real-live person on the phone.
Redirected to Voicemail
By the time you call a Web Host, you are likely already pretty irate. You have some issue that you can't solve for yourselfe and you need help. After navigating the phone tree you think you may actually reach a human that can help you the height of Web Hosting Horrors is being redirected to voicemail! It's even worse when you discover that voicemail is full!!!
Incident Tickets Stay Open Forever.
Again, in an effort to reduce the costs of interacting with humans, some Web Hosts will implement an incident ticket service. This is where you go online and dutifully enter your issue, select a couple of categorizations and submit the problem to a queue for the host to address. On the surface, this seems like an efficient and elegant solution. That view dims considerably when those tickets have been opened and unworked for days, weeks, or longer.
Confusing literature.
In an effort to bring customer interaction down, companies have put a ton of support content on the web. A FAQ page should help with basic questions, not replace customer service all together.
2. Poor or Unresponsive Technology
You can tell that your host is really a cheap reseller account knock off when you see a slapped-together, old version of cpanel and a cut-rate mail program on there. Squirrel Mail, anyone? This drives me nuts.A word to the wise, try to preview any host setups that you can.
The Web Hosting Cycle of Suckage
Randall Goya had a good way to describe this phenomenon:
I think that budget shared hosts go through a cycle:
- They upgrade their equipment and pipes and get a good reputation.
- Success brings many new customers, things get crowded.
- Service begins to flag – discerning and demanding customers leave.
- They reach some kind of attrition rate and upgrade.
- Rinse and repeat.
Slows or Erratic Web Page Speeds
This is largely a function of bargain basement webhosts. You can't really expect to get consistently good website speed when you are paying $8 / month. Still, there are certain service levels you should be able to expect.
Unsupported Technology
It drives me nuts when a web host advertises a certain bell or whistle that I want (Ex. 1 click WordPress installation or Free transfer) but they don't support the technology they have. You have just signed up and paid for a certain kind of service or web hosting ability but it doesn't work. Especially iritating when
4. Business Shenanigans.
That's right. I said shenanigans. And Web Hosts have been known to do more than their fair share.
Unethical Practices
I've had hosts that have violated contracts, stolen my website address or otherwise prohibited me from transfer to other service .
Remember, your $6 a month host may not be bound by the same laws and customs you yourself are in your country. You get what you pay for.
Bait and Switch
This is usually accompanied with the technology note listed above. You think you are getting one kind of experience and then you get another. Insanity.
Another one that scores high on my list, is not actually performing backups. I make all my backups myself nowadays, but I've had clients that had web hosting providers that claimed they would backup daily. Then they would get attacked and all files+databases would get deleted. Of course, the host didn't actually make the backups they promised and you'd completely have to start anew if you didn't make your own backups.
Leroy Gerrits, Owner at Tuvai webdevelopment
Other Shenanigans
I haven't personally encountered these issues with web hosts but others have. Worth keeping in mind!
How about "going out of business" — that's the worse experience to date, though I have experienced your top 10.
James Null, Owner of LongviewNET
It's All Our Fault
The fault dear Brutus is not within our stars but within ourselves.
Rajan Urs reminded me that "The worst problems of web hosting is actually customers who do not want to pay for quality hosting."
Why We Make these Mistakes
Mike Sisk, and Jason Detar, web hosters themselves for years and years brought some sanity to it all:
When the decision makers see prices of $5 a month it's hard to explain why your offerings cost 10X as much. Sure, you can tell them you have backups, up-to-date real server hardware (that you actually own), personalized service, etc., but at the end of the day all they see is a savings of $45 a month.
Mike Sisk, Owner at TCPIP Ranch
When web hosts have these low cost services they are sacrificing something, and usually more than one thing which is why your top ten list exists. Is it the Data Center? Staff? Network? Equipment? Software? Security? Preventative measures? etc? They can't have the best of everything, and charge $5/mo for the most features, the most resources, and still make a profit. In 12 years, I've never seen it. I've seen some get pretty good, but even then it doesn't last.
Jason Detar, President, Elite Internet Communications
The Bottom Line
So with this all, what's the bottom line?
I think the bottom line is, you get what you pay for. And if you pay $5 dollars a month, you have to expect that entire list.
Dan Antonson, Founder, the Revived Group
If you'd like to see which web hosts actually do what they say they will do and won't turn your experience into a horror show, check out my list of web development resources.
Have you experienced these hosting horrors? Have you found any places that are better than the others? Let the worldknow in the comments section below.

Santa may have his magical flying sleigh, but even Jolly Ol' Saint Nick would be jealous of these stylish subcompact crossovers and their surprising present-carrying ability. Models like the Fiat 500x, which we examine in more detail below, might seem small, but a spacious cargo area combined with folding seats means it has no problem hauling a serious shopping spree. And as a bonus, the junior footprint means they're better on fuel and a hoot to drive, too. Check out three of our favorites below.
It was only a matter of time before even the auto manufacturer selling the tiniest products on the market was going to upsize. And that's exactly what happened in 2015 when Fiat released the 500X, a shrunken SUV version of the popular diminutive three-door hatchback. It's not all form and no function here, however. Thanks to the boxy shape, over 30 cubic-feet of storage capacity is available once the rear seats are flipped down. When carrying all those gifts home, opt for the windy side road route because the grade-topping trim boasts a 2.4-liter turbocharged mill producing 180 horsepower and a grippy all-wheel drive system, all while delivering 26 MPG of fuel economy in the city and 36 on the highway. Delightfully, a six-speed manual transmission is also optional for customers choosing the 1.4-liter powertrain.
Subaru likes to say it was ahead of the curve with the whole mini crossover thing when they launched the Crosstrek five years ago. The essentially jacked-up Impreza might be stretching the definition of the segment, but it nevertheless is very much a vehicle that does almost everything. The Crosstrek features the company's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, BOXER engine configuration offering a lower center of gravity for better handling, and 8.7-inches of ground clearance so drivers can get to their destinations regardless of the road conditions. Standard roof rails are a nice touch for those items that simply won't fit in the back (think Christmas tree), and the included pull-out privacy cover is a great way to keep prying eyes from precious on-board goodies.
Choosing to go subcompact doesn't mean having to give up creature comforts and premium looks. BMW's X1 is an affordable luxury so-called "Sports Activity Vehicle," and attributes such as the long hood and wheelbase, large 18-inch alloy wheels, flared arches, and rugged body cladding certainly lend credence to the nickname. Inside, the leather-wrapped surfaces and upscale materials are classic BMW. Like all SUVs, the rear bench folds — 1° away from being completely flat — and has the added versatility of reclining as well, providing next-level passenger comfort. In the fully stowed position, 47.7 cubic-feet is ready and waiting to swallow up anything from two 46-inch golf bags stowed lengthwise to skis, snowboards, televisions, and anything else the job requires this holiday season. The X1 is no slouch either: the xDrive35i, exclusive to North America, churns out 300 horsepower via a twin-turbo inline six cylinder.
