Magnolia CMS 6.1.1 is a security and bug-fixing release that delivers the following functionality improvements:
Changes for editors
No endless loop when publishing a node with an unpublished parent node
If you try to publish a node whose parent node has not been published, the UI no longer gets stuck in an endless loop and the following message appears instead.
Always make sure that you have published the parent content before publishing its children and that you have the appropriate publishing rights.
DataIndexer in Solr initializes correctly
We have fixed an issue with
DataIndexer in the Content Indexer submodule of Solr where the indexer would not initialize when upgrading from Magnolia 6.0 to 6.1.
Changes for developers
LinkUtil can convert multiple links in one image tag
When parsing an
<IMG> tag, the
LinkUtil class now replaces all image links in UUID format with fingerprinted links if the tag contains more than one link.
Runtime decorations of module configurations are ignored
Due to a decoration issue, do not use YAML decorations for
/modules/content-indexer/config in the Solr module.
Third-party library updates
- ivy-2.1.0 removed from the Magnolia bundle and Groovy module (BUILD-341 & MGNLGROOVY-180, restricted access)
- Vaadin updated to 8.8.5 (MAGNOLIA-7574, restricted access)
- zt-zip updated to 1.13 (MGNLBACKUP-130, restricted access)
- jackson-databind updated to 2.9.9 (BUILD-342, restricted access)
- XStream updated to 220.127.116.11 (BUILD-343, restricted access)
If you are upgrading from an earlier version, read the Upgrading to Magnolia 6.1.x page first and check the Known issues page.
Because the return type of the
public javax.jcr.Node getNode() method has been changed to
java.util.Optional<Node> in Magnolia 6.1.1, there is now an API incompatibility in the
JcrResource class.

Call for joint efforts to save environment
Karachi: Concerned municipal bodies, non-governmental agencies, welfare organisations, and citizens at large have to play a proactive role by joining hands to make Karachi clean, green, and pollution-free. This was stressed by speakers at a training workshop on plantation and greenery drives jointly organised by Saylani Welfare International Trust and National Forum for Environment and Health (NFEH) earlier this week.
The workshop was attended by 200 prospective volunteers, associated with different NGOs and municipal agencies in six districts of Karachi, who were interested in joining any initiative which aims for greenery in city. Participants of the workshop were informed about all relevant and practical information for getting maximum results and benefits from any plantation drive at mass scale.
The patron-in-chief of Saylani Welfare Trust, Moulana Muhammad Bashir Farooqi, said that authorities should come forward and play their role in holding a plantation drive in Karachi, because government and municipal agencies responsible for the situation had not come up to expectations of general public in this regard, which was very disappointing.
He said the Salyani Trust would contribute 12,000 plant and tree saplings to be planted in different parts of Karachi for the upcoming initiative to make city green again.
Administrator, District Municipal Corporation East, Rahmantullah Shaikh said on the occasion that public awareness is needed regarding plantation drives to tackle issues related to environmental pollution. He also assured his support to the upcoming joint initiative of NFEH and Saylani Trust.
NFEH President Muhammad Naeem Qureshi said that this year the Sarsabz-o-Pursakoon campaign of his forum would be revived soon under which 100,000 tree saplings would be planted all over the city in the upcoming months of spring and summer seasons.
Also speaking at the workshop, Vice-Chancellor Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science & Technology, Prof Dr Suleman D Muhammad said that the Urdu university with its two large campuses, other constituent parts and affiliated institutions would fully take part and provide all sort of assistance to upcoming plantation drive in Karachi. Famous poet Younus Hamdam on the occasion presented his poetry on the issue of environment and greenery.
After an interactive session at the end between participants and experts, the attendees praised the workshop and reflected on the need to hold sessions highlighting environmental problems.
Environmentalists Nadeem Mirbahar, Rafi ul Haq, Aamir Madani Raza of Saylani Welfare Trust, among other experts also spoke on the occasion.

Pre-Conf Workshop: Practical Messaging with NServiceBus
Kista May 27, 2020, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Jimmy Bogard
Chief Architect, Headspring
Go beyond the hype and build a solid foundation of theory and practice with this workshop on message-oriented architecture and development. Join Jimmy Bogard for a deep dive covering architectural topics like:
- UI decomposition
- Data ownership across the enterprise
- Finding service boundaries
You'll also learn the nitty-gritty details of building production-ready systems including:
- Fault tolerance – HTTP and queues
- Reliable integration with 3rd party systems
- Scalability, high availability & monitoring
Finally, get some hands-on experience in message-oriented architectures by building:
- Scalable command-processing endpoints
- Publish/subscribe event-processing interactions
- Long-running multi-stage business processes and policies
## Objectives
We'll understand messaging concepts, and DDD concepts such as bounded contexts and data ownership.
We'll apply those concepts to build a simple, yet fully functional, order management system sample with a messaging architecture, using patterns such as command processing, pub/sub and long-running sagas.
## Skill Level
Senior developers, tech leads, and architects will benefit most from this workshop.
## Computer setup
Participants are requested to bring a Windows laptop with Visual Studio 2017 and to follow the full set up instructions at least one week before the workshop, available at https://github.com/Particular/Workshop/blob/master/README.md

A few years after my husband and I were married, we were staying with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law for a while in the Chicago-land area. They had recently moved from New Mexico to Chicago. Well, one day a huge box appeared on their doorstep from a friend of theirs in New Mexico. Inside the box? … Continue reading

Pressure Canned Chicken Breast
Today I am talking about chicken. Not just chicken, but preserving chicken by pressure canning. That's right…storing chicken in your pantry! I am assuming that most people who aren't familiar with pressure canning meat had the same reaction that I have had in the past: maybe you cringed? Gagged perhaps? I understand. A little … Continue reading
My Plunge Into Pressure Canning
Canning. I've been canning for probably the last 9 years or so, but most of my experience up until lately has been with water bath canning high acid and/or sugary foods like tomatoes, pickles and jams. I have wanted a pressure canner for years, but have never wanted to spend the money to buy one. … Continue reading
Tart Cherry Pie Jam
I am not sure why I was amazed to see two of my children come inside from the backyard the other day with a bowl full of ripe cherries. I know there are cherry trees back there, and I realize that it is summer…the two kind of go hand-in-hand! I guess in my head, it … Continue reading
Blackberry Orange Jam {seedless}
Last summer we were fortunate enough to acquire some beautifully plump and ripe blackberries from an aunt that has amazing blackberry bushes. I had very good intentions at the time of taking them home and making a lovely jam right away. Unfortunately life, and other gardening and canning duties, took priority over the blackberries. They … Continue reading
Blanching and Freezing Fresh Asaparagus
Asparagus is a wonderful vegetable. Unfortunately in some places it isn't one of the veggies that you can find readily accessible year-round. Where we live in Kansas, we start looking for the shoots to spring up around Easter time, and pretty much check every day after that until they pop through the soil. The thing … Continue reading
Making Pumpkin Puree {pumpkins aren't just for fall decoration!}
Today I am going to share with you just how easy it is to make your own pumpkin puree. Don't just let those pumpkins you bought for fall decoration rot away without getting further good use out of them! It is amazingly simple to turn pumpkins into puree, and is great to have on hand … Continue reading

Murrieta CA
Located in the southwest portion of Riverside County, Murrieta CA is a fast-growing city that has become known as one of the southern anchors of the Inland Empire. Between 2000 and 2010 alone the population of Murrieta CA grew by over 133 percent. This growth certainly does seem to justify the city's motto "The Future of Southern California." However, despite the population growth the economy of Murrieta CA is rather small. It is mainly a bedroom community with most residents commuting elsewhere to work. The biggest local employers are the school district and the hospital. If you own a residential or commercial property in Murrieta CA, you can rely on Guardian Roofs for all your roofing needs. We handle everything from new roof construction to reroofs, repairs, and roof certifications. We can even help with insulation. As a licensed and insured company, all of our services are competitively priced and backed by a quality satisfaction guarantee.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.
A love of nature is a consolation against failure.
We all have anxiety about things. We all have little insecurities, but eventually you have to face your fears if you want to be successful, and everybody has some fear of failure.
Success is never final, but failure can be.
Believe it or not, Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good.
Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.
If you look at great human civilizations, from the Roman Empire to the Soviet Union, you will see that most do not fail simply due to external threats but because of internal weakness, corruption, or a failure to manifest the values and ideals they espouse.
If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.
In the different voice of women lies the truth of an ethic of care, the tie between relationship and responsibility, and the origins of aggression in the failure of connection.
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
The lessons I learned from my mother and her friends have guided me through death, birth, loss, love, failure, and achievement, on to a Fulbright scholarship and Harvard Business School. They taught me to believe that anything was possible. They have proven to be the strongest family values I could ever have imagined.
My fears are never about failure – it's about extreme success.
True leaders don't invest in buildings. Jesus never built a building. They invest in people. Why? Because success without a successor is failure. So your legacy should not be in buildings, programs, or projects; your legacy must be in people.
Failure is central to engineering. Every single calculation that an engineer makes is a failure calculation. Successful engineering is all about understanding how things break or fail.
Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.
There's no such thing as failure – just waiting for success.
You have to be able to accept failure to get better.
Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
Jobs for every American is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter, basic food, and medical care. I'm talking about welfare for all. Without it, you're going to have warfare for all.
For my first show at 'SNL', I wrote a Bill Clinton sketch, and during our read-through, it wasn't getting any laughs. This weight of embarrassment came over me, and I felt like I was sweating from my spine out. But I realized, 'Okay, that happened, and I did not die.' You've got to experience failure to understand that you can survive it.
I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
'No one can make you successful; the will to success comes from within.' I've made this my motto. I've internalized it to the point of understanding that the success of my actions and/or endeavors doesn't depend on anyone else, and that includes a possible failure.
Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.
My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.
One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.
Failure isn't an option. I've erased the word 'fear' from my vocabulary, and I think when you erase fear, you can't fail.
In our business, things look like a failure until they're not. It's pretty binary transitions.
My father was a dreamer – my hero. He was a smart, tough guy from Poland, a cutter of lady's handbags, an old socialist-unionist who always considered himself a failure. His big line was: 'Don't end up like me.'
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.
Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent.
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure.
I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally.
The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.
Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.
Every stumble is not a fall, and every fall does not mean failure.
Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.
No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.
Foreign aid is neither a failure nor a panacea. It is, instead, an important tool of American policy that can serve the interests of the United States and the world if wisely administered.
Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.
It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.
I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.
Failure is good. It's fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching, I've learned from making mistakes.
Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.
Your attitude towards failure determines your altitude after failure.
People who have a sense of self-efficacy bounce back from failure; they approach things in terms of how to handle them rather than worrying about what can go wrong.
Lead yourself whenever your boss' leadership deteriorates. When your boss doesn't praise what you do, praise yourself. When your boss doesn't make you big, make yourself big. Remember, if you have done your best, failure does not count.
I don't see divorce as a failure. I see it as the end to a story. In a story, everything has an end and a beginning.
I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.
I believe in never giving up, no matter what the odds. My mantra is, 'Failure is temporary. Giving up is permanent.'
Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.
A traveller must buy his own experience, and success or failure depends mainly on personal idiosyncrasies.
Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.
Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.
For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.
Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement, and death will be part of your journey, but the Kingdom of God will conquer all these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever.
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.
There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.
There's a silly notion that failure's not an option at NASA. Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
The first thing successful people do is view failure as a positive signal to success.
Our inner beliefs trigger failure before it happens. They sabotage lasting change by canceling its possibility. We employ these beliefs as articles of faith to justify our inaction and then wish away the result. I call them belief triggers.
Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.
I don't take success and failure seriously. The only thing I do seriously is march forward. If I fall, I get up and march again.
Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.
I have a tendency to sabotage relationships; I have a tendency to sabotage everything. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of being afraid. Useless, good-for-nothing thoughts.
Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it.
Whether you're successful or not, you'll never actually feel the joys of accomplishment unless you love yourself. Success can be very difficult to deal with. You have to stay in the center. If you let your success define you, then you're really just setting yourself up for failure.
I'm living life as best I can – but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.
If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
I'm not going to get somewhere and say, 'OK, I'm done.' Success is never final; I'll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I'm going to the stars and then past them.
Poverty is about people lacking the tools they need to get on in life. And solving it is about tackling educational failure, antisocial behaviour, debt problems and addiction, and of course it's about work.
We have forty million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse.
It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes… we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions – especially selfish ones.
When you believe in your dream and your vision, then it begins to attract its own resources. No one was born to be a failure.
You shouldn't be afraid of failure – when something fails, you think, 'What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.' Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don't get disappointed.
Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
Be greedy for social change, and your life will be endlessly enriched. The only failure lies in not trying, or giving up.
But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.
The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower.
Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.
Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
Success comes when people act together; failure tends to happen alone.
You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try – you don't take the risk.
The very nature of finance is that it cannot be profitable unless it is significantly leveraged… and as long as there is debt, there can be failure and contagion.
Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe.
Your ability to adapt to failure, and navigate your way out of it, absolutely 100 percent makes you who you are.
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.
I don't lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word.
Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.
A failure will not appear until a unit has passed final inspection.
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.
I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.
One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.
You look at any culture, and prohibition has invariably been an unmitigated failure. It is just idiotic to criminalise any substance, I think.
Success is not the absence of failure; it's the persistence through failure.
Tenacity is not about avoiding being overwhelmed but being indomitable in the face of the overwhelming odds of your venture's failure.
At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Progress requires setbacks; the only sure way to avoid failure is not to try.
Failure saves lives. In the airline industry, every time a plane crashes the probability of the next crash is lowered by that. The Titanic saved lives because we're building bigger and bigger ships. So these people died, but we have effectively improved the safety of the system, and nothing failed in vain.
So many people view the war on drugs as a failure, as something that was perhaps intended and carried out with good intentions but very badly executed.
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.
Without failure there is no achievement.
The woman is a gentle, loving bond who encourages, consoles, builds, reconciles, and makes all things new and vibrant. The woman is strength in time of suffering, courageous in failure, intuitive in time of danger. A woman is ingenuous when all fails, resourceful in times of want, and a true helpmate for man.
Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.
Never be afraid to fail. Failure is only a stepping stone to improvement. Never be overconfident because that will block your improvement.
Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
The hippy movement was a failure.
Most organizations don't fall apart as a result of one big blow. Most relationships don't end because of one grand argument. Most lives don't fall to pieces due to one sad event. No, I suggest to you that sustained failure happens as the consequence of small, daily acts of neglect that stack up over time to lead to a blow up – and break down.
Cheerfully fessing up to our failures turns crazy mind off, humility and compassion on. I learned this in a karate dojo that had a strange tradition. Everyone there loved recounting failure stories, and after an evening of smacking one another, we'd sit and have a beer while the students swapped tales of martial arts disaster.
Engineering is achieving function while avoiding failure.
The story of Detroit's bankruptcy was simple enough: Allow capitalism to grow the city, campaign against income inequality, tax the job creators until they flee, increase government spending in order to boost employment, promise generous pension plans to keep people voting for failure. Rinse, wash and repeat.
We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.
I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, but to sport.
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes – understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success.
If you try to do your best there is no failure.
Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.
Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
The only failure is not to try.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Different parts of the world have different attitudes to failure. Arguably, it may take more courage to be an entrepreneur in Sydney, or Paris, or London, or Japan, or Singapore… but an entrepreneur sees the world for what it could be, not what it is.
The only real failure is giving up.
Failure is success if we learn from it.
If something's important enough, you should try. Even if you – the probable outcome is failure.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
Fear of failure, it's the greatest motivational tool. It drives me and drives me and drives me.
We failed, but in the good providence of God apparent failure often proves a blessing.
Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them.
Never be afraid of failure. And don't stop yourself from doing something you want to do because of what others might think. Only you know yourself best.
Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something.
If we don't succeed we run the risk of failure.
You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.
If you can't admit a failure, you're not an entrepreneur. You are not a good business person. There's nothing brilliant about what you are doing.
Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.
You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.
I've never been a jealous person, and I've never felt built up by someone else's failure – that's a cheap thrill.
It's about not having doubt in your mind and staying focused and not having any preconceived notion about failure. It's just looking forward and staying positive.
Daring is doing. Daring is asking something outrageous despite your chances of failure and rejection. Daring is going out on a limb by believing in something that no one else understands, and if all fails, daring is trying again.
The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.
If you're doing your best, you won't have any time to worry about failure.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
Inability to make decisions is one of the principal reasons executives fail. Deficiency in decision-making ranks much higher than lack of specific knowledge or technical know-how as an indicator of leadership failure.
My failures may be my greatest successes. It is in failure that I have often drawn closer to God, learn to depend more on Him than myself, gained self-knowledge, and seen things in their right perspective.
One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.
The business of biomedical research is mostly about failure. Few projects we commission will ultimately result in success. But every study we do contributes to the body of knowledge that brings science and society closer to a solution.
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
The most tragic paradox of our time is to be found in the failure of nation-states to recognize the imperatives of internationalism.
It is in our genes that we think of breaking up when we love and of failure and fall when we succeed.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.
The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
Laziness is a secret ingredient that goes into failure. But it's only kept a secret from the person who fails.
Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.
An open-minded and diverse population that readily shares information, encourages experimentation, accepts failure and dispenses with formality and hierarchy is what makes Silicon Valley the successful hub that it is.
Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.
The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by my failures.
Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.
In Chicago, you have an absence of strong family units, and that absence gets filled by gangs. You have a failure in the school system, after-school programs and other social programs to help keep kids off the streets. Amnesty International speaks to that in some way, by keeping these issues in the forefront.
Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?
It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.
There's always failure. And there's always disappointment. And there's always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.
Don't be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
With improvisation, I just do it. It might be a total failure but then you just throw the dice again.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities.
Enjoy failure and learn from it. You can never learn from success.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.
It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
So many financial dreams are thwarted by the failure to act upon good intentions.
Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.
Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.
I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.
Failure is a word unknown to me.
In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible.
I firmly believe that unless one has tasted the bitter pill of failure, one cannot aspire enough for success.
Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.
Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure. But it was actually really important for me to go through that. Struggle, for me, is the most inspirational thing in the world at the end of the day – as long as you treat it that way.
There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.
Part of being a man is learning to take responsibility for your successes and for your failures. You can't go blaming others or being jealous. Seeing somebody else's success as your failure is a cancerous way to live.
If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.
Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
If you aren't learning, you are regressing, because more growth comes from failure than from success.
Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is… the highway to success.
No man is a failure who is enjoying life.
No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.
Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results.
When I served as prime minister last time, I failed to prioritize my agenda. I was eager to complete everything at once, and ended my administration in failure. After resigning, for six years I traveled across the nation simply to listen.
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act.
Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks.
A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.
People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure.
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a godly person. Yet when I look at the yesterdays of my life, what I see, mostly, is a broken, irregular path littered with mistakes and failure. I have had temporary successes and isolated moments of closeness to God, but I long for the continuing presence of Jesus.
If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.
Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.
An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.
The Bush Administration's failure to be consistently involved in helping Israel achieve peace with the Palestinians has been both wrong for our friendship with Israel, as well as badly damaging to our standing in the Arab world.
Indecision and delays are the parents of failure.
If you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher, the law of averages – not to mention the myth of Icarus – predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: There is no such thing as failure.
Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.
Love is such a powerful subject matter because it comes in so many different shapes and sizes. It's about timing, fate, failure, redemption.

"You're one of those women, aren't you?", some one told me once, "A woman who doesn't like women".
I grinned.
Although not necessarily true, I do see where that is coming from.
Even though I grew up in a female dominated household, I always got along with my dad the best.
From a young age he showed me how to play chess, which resulted into me winning some tournaments.
We watched The Karate Kid together, which resulted in me in getting the brown belt in karate 5 years later.
He taught me math and physics, which resulted in me studying engineering.
It might differ in other countries, but where I grew up, I would usually be the only girl when practicing these hobbies.
Naturally I hung out with men more than women.
The largest benefit?
I had no opportunity to compare myself with others, appearance wise.
Maybe not for the fair reasons, but I was always the prettiest girl in the group.
And honestly, that didn't make me feel bad 😉
In high school I was mainly bullied because of my looks.
And all the bullying was by girls.
Other than my mum, I didn't think women could ever be nice.
The largest disadvantage ?
I never really felt comfortable with my femininity.
I knew the boys in my class never understood what it was to have cramps for 5 days straight, so I never saw the whole point of even having my period.
Internally I criticized other girls for wearing make up, high heels and hand bags or their wish to quit a job and become a mother.
I have now come to a point where people in general annoy me 😉
Yet if I had to choose, I'd stay in my comfort zone and prefer men over women.
Stepping out of that comfort zone would give me a lot insecurities
But I really would love to spend time with women and learn how to embrace the female qualities.
Do you prefer to be in an environment with the same or opposite gender? And why?

Was established to specifically help the children of Massachusetts Service members who have died while deployed on Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. The MSLF is designed to grant funds for current and future college/university students whose parent's "home of record" at the Department of Defense was Massachusetts and were killed on deployment during Operations Enduring or Iraqi Freedom.
There is no selection process. If the student is a child of a Service member whose service is credited to Massachusetts and gave his/her life in Operation Enduring or Iraqi Freedom, that student qualifies for funds. Prior to each school year, the trustees will distribute equal grant shares to those students who qualify. The only requirement for recipients will be that they have filed applications establishing that they are qualified, and that they remain enrolled in the undergraduate or postgraduate program at the college or university.

Sport style
Wearing a woolen flannel hoodie of which striped design makes you look young and energetic. The pullover with zipper, looking very eye-catching when pulling zipper to somewhere. Matched a casual sports pant, women will look slim and tall, and they don't seem chubby at all. There is a white stripe inside of pants, which makes the pants don't seem conservative and dull. Most importantly, the white strip appeals to white shoes. You won't have feelings of strangeness, and the freshness is coming towards you.
School style
In autumn, women all like to wear hoodies among which white highlights skin most. It's beautiful to wear any clothes if you are in a good figure. Wear a white casual hoodie of which the two red lines are between shoulder and waist, looking simple and decent, and you don't look plump at all. Matched a seemingly flared pants, the silhouette looks nice, and it also fits hoodie very well. The same all-match white shoes can express school style more.
Girlish style
Everyone has girlish emotion in their inner hearts. They hope to leave a girlish impression on people no matter how old they are. The nifty and cute high braided hair, with red and blue splicing coat on the upper body, looking fashionable and stylish. Well, matched blue jeans of which the leg opening is rolled-up and then a pair of scruffy shoes, you will look young and adorable. When walking in street, you just look like a totally young lady.
Well-behaved lady style
The bright color clothes which make you look great is the most beautiful. In addition, red matches black fine. The black and red plaid top match the white inside clothes. The black pencil pants on the lower part not only can cover the flesh on the belly but also can make your legs invisible. Therefore, this outfit is attractive, for it shows your advantages and hides your disadvantages.

How much does it cost to register? The total cost of registering with GTC Scotland as a teacher fully qualified in an EU/EEA Member State (not UK) or Switzerland is normally £189. This amount breaks down as follows: Qualified Outside Scotland (Qos) Administration Fee (non-refundable) £65 PVG Scheme membership* £59 Registration Administration Fee £65 TOTAL £189 You will only be required to pay for PVG Scheme membership and the Registration Administration Fee if your application for registration is successful. *If you are already a member of the PVG Scheme, and this is for working with children, you will only be required to complete a short scheme check at a cost of £18. However, if any new information appears on the short scheme check, you will be required to have a full record check at an additional cost of £41. How we assess When your application arrives we will check that you have submitted all of the required documentation and contact your nominated referee(s). We will send you an acknowledgement letter and a copy of the appropriate PVG form for completion. If any documentation is missing from your application, we will also remind you to submit this - this will delay the assessment of your application as it will not be passed to a Case Assessor until all of the required documentation has been received. Once we have all of the required documents and your completed PVG Scheme application form, a Case Assessor will contact the competent authority for teachers in your Home Member State to obtain confirmation of your teaching qualification, including the age range and subject areas that you are permitted to teach in your Home Member State. Your Case Assessor will also be waiting for your referee report to arrive before making an offer of registration. As you will not be made an offer of registration until your referee report has arrived it is it is important that you check with your referee that they are willing to provide a report and that you provide us with accurate contact details. Assessment Decisions Once your qualifications have been confirmed and your referee report has been received, you will receive a final decision on your application. If your application is successful, you will be awarded one of two types of registration: Provisional registration - this is the most commonly awarded type of registration and normally involves completing an adaptation period of up to 270 days of full time equivalent (FTE) teaching service (up to 190 days for Further Education). An adaptation period will be necessary if there are shortfalls in the professional areas covered by your qualification and/or where you have not completed an induction period of teaching which is comparable to the probationary service which teachers are required to complete in Scotland in order to be awarded Full Registration Full registration - this type of registration may be awarded where there are no shortfalls in the professional areas covered by your qualification, you have already completed an induction period of teaching which is comparable to the probationary service which teachers are required to complete in Scotland in order to be awarded Full Registration At this point your application for PVG Scheme membership will be processed and the PVG fee will be deducted. Registration may be awarded in one or more sectors or subject areas and is subject to receipt of the following: PVG Scheme application result through Disclosure Scotland. Please note that even where PVG Scheme membership is granted, should any information be noted on your record of PVG Scheme membership this would have to be investigated by our Fitness to Teach Department. In such circumstances registration with the GTC Scotland can only be granted upon a decision being taken through the Fitness to Teach process that you are entitled to register. If we award you registration you will be asked to pay an initial registration fee of £65. Once we receive payment, we will send you a registration pack containing: your GTC Scotland registration number information on your adaptation period and additional requirements (if applicable) your Certificate of Registration (provisional or full depending on what type of registration you have been offered) If we are unable to award you any form of registration (e.g. if you are not recognised as being fully qualified in your Home Member State or your qualification does not match up with any of the categories of registration which exist in Scotland), your application will be refused and you will receive written reasons for this decision. We will not process your PVG application if this happens and you will therefore not be charged the corresponding fee. Your Right to Review If we award you registration but not to the extent you wished you have the right to ask for the decision to be reviewed by a Registration Panel. Further information can be found under Right to Review for Applicants for Registration. Contacts If you qualified outside Scotland and wish to discuss any part of the application process, you should contact Registration Services on: T: +44 (0)131 314 6000 E: email@example.com

I joined @anfieldindex to talk about this weekends clash against Liverpool at Anfield. Southampton come into this fixture having recently thrown away a two goal lead against Leicester City at St Mary's. Goals however have been flowing with Southampton netting an impressive 16 times in the past five fixtures.
In Liverpool's last Premier League fixture, they were held to a goalless draw against ex-Southampton manager, Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs. The most recent result came in the Europa League, having once again drew, this time to Rubin Kazan in the Europa League.
We talk about misconceived perceptions of both clubs, how we expect both sides to approach the game, who to watch and a prediction for Jürgen Klopp's first home game.

It is HARD to believe that 2017 is coming to an end. Seriously, there is less than a month until 2018 and we just don't know if we're ready for that yet! To help us cope with the thought of a new year, we are counting down our top 10 favorite moments of 2017 at Pine Lakes Lodge.
- We hit the ground running this year by partaking in not one, but three trade shows. A little over zealous, we're aware of that now. However we absolutely LOVED meeting all the future brides and getting to meet other vendors. We won't mention how much cake and samplers we ate, but we also loved that too.
- This year we got some new merchandise…which we are aware is not as exciting to you, as it was for us. We did get some good reviews on our new merchandise items, so we might have to add another few things in 2018.
- Early on in the year we had a change in command and staff. Situations like that are always tough, BUT we now have General Manager Julie, and we absolutely adore her!
- Black Angus Suite. After the passing of our owner Joe, we were afraid his office would never be completed. However, grounds keeper Buddy swooped in a saved the day by finishing the room. Now you can rent out the suite and the addition overnight.
- We get it, we get it. Shut up about the spa cabin already. Sorry but we're not sorry about clogging up your news feeds and littering your email folders with spa announcements. The addition of our spa cabin/bridal suite was a big moment for us, and we couldn't stop grinning.
- We had not one, but two, TWO paint and sip parties this year. We kicked off Valentine's Day with a couples paint and sip party, where couples painted a doe and buck at dusk. The results were gorgeous. Then we celebrated the Ohio State Buckeyes and painted block O's close to the border battle. They were both lots of fun. They both had great results and we loved every minute of them.
- Carla. Need we say more? She's not "new" per say. But Carla will always be on our top 10 lists, because she's Carla.
- The surplus of babies that were born this year. Let's attempt to count them all, shall we? One baby zebra. Two baby buffalo. A new flock of geese and a litter of kittens. We probably missed one or two. There is something in the air here, we sear! Maybe next year we'll see a baby…Carla?!
- We had so many beautiful weddings, we're still in awe. Is there anything else to say? Every wedding we held this year was SO beautiful. We can't wait to show you their blogs! We are booking for 2018 and 2019 weddings, so get at us.
- The last but most important thing we loved about this year, was having our wonderful staff work for us. From our social media personnel, to our grounds staff, to our General Manager, we could not have done it without them! We wanted to give a MASSIVE shout-out and thank you to our awesome staff for the hard work they put into the lodge this year. From giving the outside a much needed spruce, to finishing the spa, to coordinating weddings, to cooking amazing meals, they could not be stopped. SO please join us in thanking them and let them know how wonderful they are this holiday season.
- Julie – GM
- Buddy – Grounds keeper
- Will – Grounds keeper
- Shelby – Cook
- Amanda – Staff
- Kim – Staff
These were our top 10 favorite moments of 2017. Hopefully 2018 will bring more great moments for us to reminisce about in 2019. UGH! We don't even want to think that far ahead. Were there any moments that you loved about 2017? Get engaged? Get married? Have a baby? Adopt a dog!? Comment below what some of your favorite moments were. We want to hear them!
Want to know more about the lodge? Make sure to check in on the Pine Lakes Lodge social media pages next year. Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Instagram, and see what we're up to on Pinterest! We will be sharing more on the lodge and upcoming deals or events that you won't want to miss!

If conveying stops unexpectedly due, for example, to a power supply failure, it may not be possible to start the system again, particularly if the pipeline incorporates a large vertical lift. If the bends at the bottom of any vertical sections are taken out, to remove the material at these points, it may be possible to purge the line clear, if the pipeline is not too long. Should this be a common occurrence on a plant, an air receiver could be fitted between the air mover and the material feeding device. Such an arrangement is illustrated in Figure 20.9. If the material feed into the pipeline is stopped at the instant the power supply fails, the air stored in the receiver could be suf- ficient to purge the line clear of material.
Alternatively a parallel line with connecting valves to the pipeline could be fitted so that the pipeline could be cleared slowly from the end, one section at a time. It should be noted that in the various sketches used to illustrate the points being dis- cussed, different types of system and material feeding arrangements are shown. This is simply to add variety to the notes and avoid repetition. In most cases the modifications to the plant suggested can be applied to any type of pneumatic conveying system and can be utilized with any type of feeder.
In Figure 20.9 a blow tank is specifically shown to illustrate the point that consideration should also be given to the material feeder. With a rotary valve and screw, the material feed will automatically be stopped, but it may not be with a blow tank. It is essential that the material feed should be stopped if the power to the air mover fails. In this event an outlet valve should be provided on the blow tank, with arrangements made for this to close in the event of a power failure.
After a period of time
If a system, that has operated satisfactorily for a long period of time, starts to give trouble with blocked pipelines, wear of the feeding device could be the cause of the problem in the case of positive pressure systems. If the air leakage across the feeding device increases, the air available for conveying the material will decrease. If the loss of air is too great, it is possible that the volumetric flow rate of air that is left will be insufficient to convey the material and the pipeline will block.
A very similar situation exists with regard to vacuum conveying systems. In this case it is the leakage of air into the system, particularly through the discharge valve on the reception hopper. This leakage air is drawn directly into the exhauster and so by-passes the conveying line.
Wear of screw flights, valve seatings of gate lock valves, and rotary valve blades and housings, will all result in a greater leakage of air across the respective feeding device. It is also possible that gradual deterioration in performance of the air mover will have a similar effect, both for positive and negative pressure conveying systems. Most posi- tive displacement air movers operate with very fine clearances and cannot tolerate dust. If they are operated in a dusty environment, and inlet filters are not maintained, wear will occur, particularly if the dust is abrasive. Exhausters on negative pressure conveying systems, and blowers used with closed loop conveying systems, are particu- larly vulnerable in this respect.
Component wear
The situation with respect to a rotary valve feeding a positive pressure pneumatic con- veying system pipeline is shown in Figure 20.10 by way of an example. Air will leak across the rotary valve, via the empty pockets and the blade tip clearances, because of the pressure drop across the valve. In low pressure rotary valves, without end plate sealing, air will also leak between the ends of the rotor blades, or the end plate, and the rotor housing. The volumetric flow rate of air delivered from the blower or compres- sor should be specified to take this leakage into account, in order to ensure that there is sufficient air to convey the material through the pipeline.
Most manufacturers of rotary valve feeders provide data on air leakage across their rotary valves so that this can be taken into account in the specification of air require- ments for air movers. The air flow rates to be taken into account are illustrated on Figure 20.10. The leakage rate depends primarily on the size of the rotary valve, the blade tip clearance and the pressure drop across the valve. Rotor speed and the nature of the material being handled can also have an influence.
If there is wear, because of handling an abrasive material, blade tip clearances will increase, and there will be an increase in air leakage. If the air leakage increases, less air will be available to convey the material. If the leakage is such that it results in the conveying air velocity falling below the minimum value, the pipeline will block. These components should be checked for wear. The performance of the air mover should also be checked, as this might be responsible, as mentioned above. In the short term an increase in air loss across a feeding device can be compensated by increasing the air flow rate. In the long term, however, it is recommended that worn components should be replaced.
Pipeline effects
The influence of a gradual increase in air leakage across a feeding device, or a grad- ual reduction in performance of an air mover, is depicted on Figure 20.11. The con- veying characteristics relate to cement conveyed through an 81 mm bore pipeline.
From this it will be seen that the system would operate with a conveying line pressure drop of 0.7 bar, and 0.10 kg/s of air was initially available for conveying the mater- ial. This is well above the minimum necessary for the successful conveying of cement, for the conveying line inlet air velocity would be about 10 m/s and the solids loading ratio, as will be seen from Figure 20.11 would be about 26. Cement is an abrasive
material and with continual wear the air available would gradually reduce until it became insufficient to convey the cement and the pipeline would block.
This can also be a major problem with vacuum conveying systems if filtration units are not maintained and the dust is carried through the exhauster such that its perform- ance deteriorates.
With new material
It is quite possible that a system that operates satisfactorily with one material will be completely unable to convey another material, or even a different grade of the same material. Minimum conveying air velocities can differ markedly from one material to another, as was illustrated in many of the chapters in Part B of this Design Guide. For given conveying conditions, of air flow rate and air supply pressure, different flow rates will be achieved with different materials. Particular care must be exercised in designing any system in which more than one material is to be conveyed, as considered in Chapter 19.
Conveying capability
This point is illustrated in Figure 20.12. This is a plot of material flow rate drawn against air flow rate for a range of materials. The curves represent constant pressure drop lines of 1.5 bar taken from the conveying characteristics for each material. They are for a single bore pipeline, 50 m long, 53 mm bore and containing nine 90° bends (pipeline no. 3 in Figure 12.12).
The problem is illustrated very well with Figure 20.12. The materials tested cover a very wide range of material types, sizes and densities, and include representatives of each of the three main modes of conveying. Sugar and coal are typical of materials that can only be conveyed in dilute phase, despite the fact that a high air supply pressure
was used and the pipeline was relatively short. Pulverized fuel ash, barytes, cement and flour were all capable of being conveyed at very low velocity in dense phase in a moving bed type flow. The polyethylene pellets were also capable of being conveyed at very low velocity in dense phase, but in this case it was plug type flow.
It will be seen that the dilute phase materials needed very much higher values of air flow rate than the dense phase materials, and that the coal, with a mean particle size of about 10 mm, could be conveyed at a lower velocity than the granulated sugar. On the right hand side of Figure 20.12, at high air flow rates, all the materials are conveyed in dilute phase suspension flow, and it will be seen that there is a wide spread of material flow rates, for identical conveying conditions, over the range of materials tested. At low air flow rates there is an even wider spread of material flow rates.
It is also possible for different grades of the same material to give totally different conveying line performances, and operating problems resulting from this source can be particularly difficult to recognize. A slight change in particle size distribution or par- ticle shape with some materials can result in a significant change in conveying cap- ability. Particular consideration to this particular problem was given in Section 13.4. As mentioned before, most manufacturers of pneumatic conveying systems have test facilities so that they can convey a material for which a design is required, and so obtain the necessary data. Figure 20.12 will help to reinforce both the need for such design measures, and the need for good troubleshooting procedures.
Air requirements
If a different material is to be conveyed its performance will depend very much upon the air flow rate available, as will be seen from Figure 20.12. If there is insufficient air, it will not be possible to convey the material, unless the pressure is reduced, or more
air is provided. In either case the material flow rate achieved is likely to be much lower and so consideration must be given to the capability of the material feeding device for the new duty. If the air flow rate is increased this might have an adverse effect on the performance of the filtration plant. As will be seen, a change of material can have an influence on many aspects of system design and operation.

Thanks for the facts Dr. Greger. I remember reading about Talc in the early 2000's and it's carcinogenic potential. So much these days is not trustworthy! I'm still reeling from the rice we are feeding babies; filled with arsenic that lowers their IQ. I appreciate you informing the me and the public of the facts VERY much!
but not in Uganda…
Companies will start to destroy massively their archives. More and more storehouses will turn into smoke if it hadn't started yet.
does this mean all talc is bad for us, or only that specific brand?
I use talc only for my bike tire (doesn't stick which can cause punctures!).
Wow! This is seriously mind blowing!! My beautiful sweet grandmother passed from ovarian cancer and she used baby powder ALL the time!! It was part of her daily routine after she took a shower. When I was younger and I stayed at grandma's house after my bath grandma would put baby powder on me too! Thank the goodness that habit never stuck with me! I'm spreading the Word!
EEEEK! Stay safe everyone. Happy New Year!
So, for all those times I was sprinkling baby powder on my girls bottoms to help protect against wetness from their diapers; I was poisoning them. Thanks corporate propeghanda, I was duped again. I guess poisoning them early ensures that the pharmaceutical companies will get there money when the kids are older.
What does baby power do that you'd use it enough to cause cancer? (I was raised by a hippie, so I've never used or purchased a J&J product)
I know this video was focused on talcum powder and fibroids, but as a Black woman who had fibroids, ate/eats mostly plants and hasnt used tlac since i was 2 i believe there is a better reason for the discrepancy of in the occurrence of fibroids between Black and white women.
The levels of stress Black women have to face ( living at the intersection of race, gender ,sexual orientation ect) can take a toll on your health. Also some of the chemicals that some Black women use to straighten our hair are full of xenoestrogens. Not to mention the medical apartheid we face. Alot of times we are not believed when we tell doctors something is wrong. We are not given the same care ( take a look at the stats on Black mothers dying in child birth or shortly there after its astounding) regardless of our socioeconomic standing.
Also note how many times in your video you said " there are no studies on this". Well why arent studies being done to address this issue? I mean I know why, just wanted to point out how folks know there is a problem and people are dying from it, but nothing is being done. Wonder why 🤔
Curious. I've been aware of the danger of talc for decades. It is often found in association with asbestos, as both minerals metamorphose from serpentine minerals, and both have similar effects when inhaled as fine particulates. Which of course is unavoidable when using baby powder.
Also, something I never realized… until now… I am the only woman in my circle of close enough female acquaintances to know with an intact, healthy uterus. Everyone else has had a hysterectomy. Even women in my family younger than myself. I'm also the only long term vegan.
I had a watermelon sized fibroid removed in September and I've been vegetarian then vegan for 20 years (as of this year). It prevented me from reaching my goal weight unknowingly for years even though I ate clean AF. Good news I lost about 26 lbs on the operating table. LOL I did grow up culturally using baby powder but stopped as a child. Great vid as always doc!
What about talc in makeup? All of my face powders contain talc.
Johnson and Johnson execs can burn in hell.
Corporate greed! How many more people are they willing to kill? Unbelievable.
Thank you Dr. Greger for your information. Do you know what it is that causes cancer? Is it corn starch? Is it only Johnson & Johnson's Brand or is this all baby powder?
Do low vitamin d levels cause testosterone levels to drop because mine are 271 and I'm 16. I am deficient in d3 I'm gonna take a supplement but what should I do
Big Pharma claiming to be a friend of my family?! What a bunch of manipulative cunts.
how about using cornstarch based baby powder instead?
Is it harmful if talcum powder is used only for armpits?
No more powder on the pussy people.
Johnson and johnson have a advertisment of children in a hospital bed and they're trying to bring awareness. I saw the ad on instagram and i commented and said your shit product is what causes cancer.
Where I live I often noticed how Black people prefer fruit, but apparently that's not everywhere.
women put way too much crap on their bodies anyway…
It's probably the fried chicken.
No this talc thing is bullshit. Women with more dramatic funk use more products like this. And women with these issues are more likely to have adverse uterus problems ect. Its like blaming scented foot powder on athletes foot.
I'm Japanese, and my posture has been described as quail-like. This study is pertinent to me.
Thank you so much for your RESEARCH BASED medical info. The average person (and even some medical professionals I would suspect) get so inundated with facts and headlines about nutrition and health it's hard to know what to believe. I like that you use screen shots of studies to back up your opinions.
I also don't think most lay people know how much debate there can be in the medical community regarding studies, metastudies, and different diseases. Would you consider an upload on making sense of studies and a primer on how and where to find good studies for those who like to go an extra step? Or if you have- please put up a link.
It seems to me nearly everyone has an opinion on what is healthy and what isn't. I would love to see so more available on the best resources so people can follow up on a friend or loved one's health advice. Thanks. I will keep watching. I think your a trustworthy and well informed source.
Plot twist: Was expecting a "until now" not a "until never" 🤣🤣🤣
Why do black women put baby powder on their twats? (Im not going to ask google either)
Tal about scandalous!!! smh… always a target
So is this risk only for women if they use it in their genitals, or for women on all orifices, or men as well? My grandmother buys their powder, and I will definitely be telling her about this.
This is so sad … what has the world come to …
No baby powder either? What should I put on my penis then!? Please answer, doctor!!
When I started to do my own bathing and such as a kid, I noticed the baby powder my mom told me to use irritated my skin, so I stopped using it. I guess sensitive skin has its advantages. I'll be telling my mom to avoid the Gold Bond first thing in the morning…maybe switch to organic corn starch.
My Mom's best friend passed away from a most tragic death; ovarian cancer likely due to her using talc in those areas. She used talc daily from the time my Mom first remembers around 18 until she was diagnosed at 57. When they checked it out, besides the cancer there were huge fibroids, the size of large grapefruit, in her.
Her family is involved with others in a class action lawsuit against them. I'm hoping for a great outcome for all of them.
Thank you Dr. Greger & team for your work on this – so many women don't know to keep talc away!
So there's differences between races and genders, no surprise, how much more so between species.
Of course whatever information on how something affects quails might not be applicable to humans! It's quite ridiculous to think biological information/reactions from one species will apply to another.
I've often wondered, how can it be that other animals are so much like us that it's scientifically valid to extrapolate medical/biological results from them to us, yet at the same time they are so UNlike us that it's ethically acceptable to experiment on them? (It's not!)
When I first heard about the talc/cancer/fibroid link, I was surprised that so many womenfolk were sprinkling this stuff on their bits on a regular basis. Why were they doing that? Oh yeah, then I remembered commercials for things like powders, douches and sprays, because I guess some folks are concerned their pussy might smell like a pussy. A sprinkle a day helps keep odor away! Gotta smell fresh! 🌷🌼
And those corporate money-grubbers will take advantage of the concern about B.O. and suppress negative information about the product.
D3 is a hormone… not a vitamin. And at that most woman and men are plagued with Xenoestrogens within their diets and their products. Woman are low on progesterone… why is this not looked at?
… What exactly is the intended purpose of rubbing talc on your genitals?
Evil company
Dr Greger, please be careful on the subjects as this one brought problematic people. They'll start attacking you for being a white male doing white men's science.
Is this for "talcum power" which uses actual talc as it's "active" ingredient, or do these findings also apply to talcum power which uses cornstarch?
Would you say using cornstarch or arrow root powder is a better option than the baby powder?
There are some baking soda ball powders out there that work better and are probably safer, i hear Chassis is good
what??? why the hell would anyone ever put baby Powder on their genitals???…that makes no sense at all…ps NEVER EVER buy anything from the Johnson and Johnson company, they have done and still do the most cruel animal testing ever….this company is freaken evil!!
Whoa. Thank u. Hope more people read this
Can you do a video about this? https://youtu.be/7HbsyF-xBkc Specifically the iron and zinc part. The studies are in the description.
Sadly I have an addiction to eating baby powder and suffer from fibroids. I alway wondered which caused which, but I guess now I know. Lose a lot of blood during moon cycle>crave baby powder because of low iron>feed create fibroids OR Have fibroids>bleed excessively during moon cycle> low iron> crave and eat baby powder. I have found a dink called Black Seed Bitters. It has shrunk them significantly. I don't bleed as much. I see a lot of clots of them breaking down during my cycle and I don't have cramps at all anymore.

COPS and Cuffs
COPS and Cuffs
A large literature in economics and criminology has established that hiring more police officers will reduce crime. Using variation in police employment generated by the COPS grant program, this paper investigates the relative contribution of the two mechanisms by which this crime reduction may occur – deterrence and incapacitation. The main finding is that hiring more police officers does not necessarily result in more arrests for serious crimes, and does not appear to have resulted in higher levels of incapacitation overall.
Keywords: Police, Arrests, Deterrence, Incapacitation

Picture coming soon!
Hi, I'm Drew!
I was born and raised in Pfafftown, NC where I still live today. Though I had never previously worked in the waterproofing and foundations industry I am very excited to be learning and growing in my role here. I was drawn to Tar Heel Basement Systems because of all of the positive energy and support that I have experienced from the amazing people I work with and I am proud to be contributing to that.
When I'm not working hard to provide our customers with peace of mind in their homes I enjoy having an active life, playing basketball and going to the gym.
I look forward to being the "hero in your home!"
