366 § 297. Right of the 1shAELITEs
along with them, Gen. 50: 24–36. Exod. 13:19. Could a people have given a stronger proof of their animus revertendi, and that they had not forever abandoned their ancient country Was it necessary (I think not) that they should have sent a notary every thirty-three years, to protest against the forfeiture of their rights 1 Even the Egyptians well knew the expectations of the Israelites on this head; and that was the principal reason of their oppressions towards a people that were not to remain forever within their country, and in subjection to them. For although from the first they did not intend to let them go, yet they were afraid, from the rapid increase of their numbers, that if a war took place, they might side with the enemy, and not perhaps conquer the country, but depart from it;" or, as the proper expression is go up: for we must recollect, that to go from Egypt to Palestine, was, in the idiom of the Hebrews, to ascend; and, rice versa, from Palestine to Egypt, was to descend. From the representation we have now given of the origin of the war, it will be easy to perceive (what to a reader of the Mosaic history must otherwise appear at first very strange) why Moses did not attack the Canaanites beyond Jordan; but from Og, king of Bashan, and Sihon, king of the Amorites, requested nothing more than an unmolested passage, and only had recourse to arms when, instead of granting it, they marched hastily into the wilderness to meet him, and offered him battle. The reason was manifestly this, that the Israelites laid no claim to the country beyond Jordan, but only to the pasture-grounds that from time immemorial had belonged to the Hebrew herdsmen, and which their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, had actually occupied with their cattle. "But might they not at least have left to the Canaanites those trading cities which had been built, without opposition from their ancestors?" This question is easily answered. If a foreign people, whom we permit to establish factories and trading cities in our land, shall so abuse our generosity, as to dispossess us, and gradually appropriate to themselves our whole country; and when we wish to return to our ancient abode, shall meet us with arms in their hands, in order to prevent it; and shall, finally, have become so extremely wicked, as to render it impossible for us to live with them, without having our morals corrupted—we certainly are under no obligation to leave to them these factories and * See Exodus 1:9, 10.
trading cities, and thereby expose ourselves anew to the risk of such corruption. "'But were not the Israelites in duty bound first to send the heralds, and formally demand their lands again from the Canaanites ?" This question I must leave completely unanswered, partly because it belongs to the yet controverted point whether certain solemnities are or are not necessary at the commencement of a war, by way of declaration, and particularly, because we do not know whether Moses and Joshua did so or not. "By way of conclusion, I must still take notice of two objections, which Mr. Oepke has made to my opinion, and on which I have not yet touched. But because they are of more weight than those before noticed, I ought, perhaps, rather to ascribe them to Professor Stiebritz himself. "In the first place, he is of opinion, "that the Israelites ought not to have re-appropriated a land possessed by wandering herdsmen, unless all the posterity of such herdsmen had transferred their rights to them.' But let it be remembered, that the question here is not concerning wandering herdsmen quite unconnected with each other, but only concerning those of Hebrew origin, and of these, more particularly, the ancestors of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and I do not see wherefore such a transfer could have been necessary, since we must here judge not by civil, but by natural law only. If several persons have an equal title to a certain possession, and some of them, either from weakness or cowardice, do not make it good, and relinquish it; another, who has the courage to act otherwise, does not from their pusillanimity lose a particle of his right: and if he conquers the land which they have abandoned, he holds, first, his own quota, by the right of former proprietorship ; and then, the remaining part, by the right of conquest; which, in the case of a legitimate war, is equally legitimate. The other claimants who did not support him, and had relinquished their rights, can make no pretensions to the fruit of his victories; and the unlawful possessors, who had carried on an unjust war, have it to thank for subjecting them to greater loss than they would probably have experienced, if they had yielded with a good grace. "In the second place, he objects, "that I ascribe the war to a cause, to which Moses himself has not referred it; and that, as 368 § 297. Right of the Israelites
any people that begin a war, are anxious to convince the world of the justice of their cause, a reason never once urged by Moses, can hardly be held as the true ground of the war." But here, I may very confidently reply, that Moses only gives laws for the war against the Canaanites, without any where mentioning the legal cause of the war: for Mr. O. himself does not account the divine commandment and promise, as its cause. Moses writes histories, and records laws; but the war-manifesto against the Canaanites, from whence we might deduce its justice, has not been furnished us by him. And as he mentions no reasons for the war, we are not entitled from his silence to form conclusions against any particular cause to which it may be ascribed. And of all causes, that to which I ascribe it, has the best foundation in the history recorded by Moses, through which history he generally paves the way for his laws. "I must yet add, that this farther objection has been made to my opinion, 'that a wandering people could hardly be considered as proprietors of a country, in which no individual could specify any particular ground as his own, from his always shifting his abode from one place to another.' I had not, indeed, considered it necessary to notice this objection, because the fact that a community may possess undivided property, is so very notorious; but as a learned person, who, in his writings, often refers to my Mosaic law, has lately repeated it, it becomes my duty to explain myself more fully on this point; and my answer is this: "A community and even a whole nation, may possess property undivided, and in common. What, indeed, is more frequent among ourselves, than such common properties? Many a village has a common wood; of which, not a tree, nor an inch of the ground, belongs to any individual villager, and yet the whole is their joint property; and whoever, without full right and leave, carries off wood, or even fells a tree, is guilty of theft. Or again; a village or a town has a common meadow, which can never be conveniently portioned out into individual properties; at least no part of it belongs to any private person exclusively; and yet the whole, to the community at large. Did those to whom property in common appears such a strange matter, never hear, that in Germany there are many such commonages, which our modern improvers would fain abolish and reclaim, if they durst; where
to PALestine. 369
green pasture land, for instance, which might be used to much better purpose under tillage, belongs merely as a common to one or more villages. The disadvantage of the present system, is universally understood; and the allotment of such lands to particular tenants is much to be desired: but then the cry is, that communities are not to be deprived of their ancient rights. Even the corn fields are in the same situation, in so far as they may not be fenced, and must lie fallow at certain times, and after harvest be subjected to the servitude of having the herds driven to pasture upon them, from perhaps a community of many villages, where even those who have not a foot of ground of their own, can assert a right to this privilege, from the mere circumstance of occupying a house. This too is justly considered as extremely prejudicial to the public good, not merely by individual economists, but, in some countries, even by the legislative authorities, and the wish to alter it is very general ; but it cannot be done, for, it is said as before, No man is to be deprived of his right. "But even a whole nation may, in like manner, have a common undivided property, Thus whole nations, by particular treaties, enjoy the right of certain fisheries, such as that of Newfoundland, without this property being actually divided, or even possibly divisible among individual fishermen. Thus also the Indians in North America, possess their immense forests undivided, as wandering hunters; and have justly made great complaints, when at any time the English or French colonists have attempted to clear and cultivate those forests, without previously purchasing them, which is generally done for a mere trifle. I remember to have read a great many years ago, in an English journal, (either the London or Gentleman's Magazine,) the speech of an Indian chief, which he made in a congress of the Indians with the English, and in which he represented the injustice of this, in a very rational and affecting manner; observing, that those forests which the Great Spirit had of old given to the Indians, and in which they had always lived, were now by some of the English daily more and more circumscribed, so that in the end they would have no dwelling place left them. I cannot recollect the particular place where I found that speech; but allowing it had been entirely fictitious, (which it by no means seemed to be, as it bore all the marks of truth,) it is very certain that the English governments in America 370 § 298. on the division of the spoils.
do recognize the rights of the Indians. Indeed, the first colonists, who, for conscience-sake and religion, emigrated from England, took no land without leave of the Indians, and if afterwards, people less conscientious, such as transported criminals, whom the Americans will now no longer receive, were sent out, and, taking forcible possession of the woods, began to clear and improve them, (which actually gave rise to wars,) this was absolutely forbidden by the British government; and those settlers, who wished to penetrate into the woods and form plantations, were, and are obliged either to purchase the ground from the Indians, or come to terms with them in some other way. "By the same common right, have many great peoples always possessed their lands, and still possess them; as for instance, the present Mongul tribes, who live by breeding horses. Their soil is extremely rich, and susceptible of the highest cultivation: the grass grows to an uncommon height in the fields; but the whole country belongs to the people at large as a common pasturage : and against strangers who should attempt to seize or pasture it, or circumscribe it by cultivation, they would unite to defend their right to it with all their might; just as our Teutonic ancestors defended their forests as public property, against the Romans. I should, therefore, think, that until a new code of natural and civil law shall be devised, and as long as we must, on account of common possessions, abide by the old, objections like the present can have no force." Commentaries on the Laws of Moses, Art. 31.]
§ 298. ON THE Division of The Spoils.
The spoils of the enemy's army, Huj, to, were divided among the victorious soldiers. They were the reward of the toils, which they had endured, and were, consequently, the cause, wherever they were won, of the most marked indications of joy, Gen. 49: 27. Exod. 15: 9. Judg. 5:30. Is. 9. 2, 3. Ezek. 29:18—20. Ps. 119. 162. There seems to have been a propriety in making such a division of the property taken, for the soldiers anciently, with the exception of the officers, and the life-guard of the commander, did not receive wages. They either paid their own expenses themselves, or were supported by their parents, Judg. 20:10, 2 Sam. 17: 17–20. The Hebrew kings, however, in a subsequent

I am currently wrestling with a narrative idea. It's moving rather quickly in my head so I am poised to grab phrases that appear in mid air or at those inconvenient times, like when I'm on the school run.
I am also deconstructing a page of 'telling' and using each sentence to create headers for a series of scenes to write. For this I am using my amazing cahier, which I have had for years, and am so glad I waited for the right occasion to use it. Why am I doing this task longhand (and in pencil)? To slow down and try to write some good dialogue, plus the pencil feels nice across the page and allows me to rub out mistakes. Of which there have been many already in the opening paras of the first scene.
Note to self: get some French stationery when on holiday this summer. Did I mention I love stationery?
By the way, I finished The Hours a few days ago. Wow.

Starring: Erich von Stroheim, Mary Beth Hughes, Dan Duryea and Stephen Barclay
Director; Anthony Mann
Rating: Five of Ten Stars
Reclusive marksman and vaudeville entertainer (von Stroheim) comes out of his shell when he believes the beautiful assistant in his act (Hughes) loves him and wants to be with him instead of her husband (Duryea). However, the coldhearted, manipulative woman simply wants the Great Flamarion to "accidentally" shoot her husband during the act, so she can run off with yet another man.
"The Great Flamarion" is an utterly predictable film, although it might not have been so in 1946 when it was made. The story never misses a chance to go exactly where you'd expect it to go, and the characters never move beyond complete and total cliches.
However, there is still a degree of enjoyment to be derived from this film if you just sit back and go with it. Hughes' performance as the black widow who should make black widows feel uneasy is so over-the-top that it fits perfectly with the nature of the script, while Von Stroheim takes an interesting term as a man who moves from an obsession with lethal guns to a lethal obsession with the woman who took his self-respect and his honor.

Addiction to social media ?
Through the years, many people kept warning us about new technology and its impact on younger generation. Researchers, politicians, social studies, they all told us that it will change our life in a very pessimist way. But recently even the big companies started to agree on that … should we be scared ?
Social media is "ripping apart the social fabric of how society works"
"I can control my decision, which is that I don't use that shit. I can control my kids' decisions, which is that they're not allowed to use that shit,"
When a former Facebook executive shared its critics at a Stanford Business School event last November, we can't help but agree with him. "No civil discourse, no cooperation, misinformation, mistruth." It's all about sharing whatever-ish online to be acknowledged and hoping to be praised by our peers. People think they can share all they're thinking (even if it's mean, stupid or wrong) online without repercussion because it's not "real life", but because it's said behind a screen doesn't make it unreal.
Sean parker, founding president of Facebook, stated a few months ago that they knew they were exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology. The rush of dopamine you get because of a "like" you give/receive only encourage you to share more content : "It's a social-validation feedback loop"
But truth to be told, Facebook knows it all, seeing all the new directives they're taking this year : changing what content you will see on your newsfeed, fighting against fake news … But the problem doesn't stop here, knowing well that "Facebook is for old people", it's every social media websites that we need to be careful about.
People are going to make you believe they're living the perfect life on Instagram and always doing something oh-so fun with others on Snapchat. Is it a way to stay in touch or is it just an ego boost ?
One Apple a day … keeps children addicted ?
Last month, two of the largest investors in Apple published an open letter to the firm asking them to "take action addiction among children over growing concerns about the effects of technology and social media on the youth." Ironic, isn't it ?
The investors (who collectively control 2 billion of dollars worth of Apple stock), asked the firm to take actions and offer tools to help children avoid addiction by giving parents more control : limit screen time, define the hours when the phone can be used, block all social media services …
They cited several studies on the negative effects on children's mental and physical health, due to heavy usage of smartphones and social media (problem to focus in class, higher risks of suicide and depression …) .
But honestly, what's new ?
Am I the only one getting bored of the same studies over and over for the past decade ? People glorifies their life online, we all do, teenagers believing it is nothing new. Commercials, magazines, old people telling their life-stories, it's been happening forever, yes even in the 1970's. Teenagers have always been guillable and easy to manipulate. They're not kids, yet not adults…
Addiction is nothing new, but because it's smartphones and internet, does it make it worse ? Teens have problems being focus in class, but they don't have a problem being focus watching a 2h Youtube or Netflix video… so maybe technology is not the problem, maybe the educational system is just outdated.
Saying that teens are more depressed and suicidal : that's because now everybody can be bullied online. It's not just your "usual highschool freak" : everybody feel protected behind a screen so they can bully whoever, whenever, wherever ! Yeah big news world : teenagers are garbage. They can be mean and act like a bunch of hateful sheeps. And maybe there are other factors making the new generation depressed : the economy, terrorist attack, gun-shooting in schools …
Nonetheless children don't need to have an iPhone in their hands either. Some control are needed, especially at a young age. Remember children : what you put online, stays online forever.

Longchamp Canada Toronto remarkable intracellular gene transfers that occurred
Diatom algae arose by two-step endosymbiosis. The complete genome of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana has now been sequenced, allowing us to reconstruct the remarkable intracellular gene transfers that occurred during this convoluted cellular evolution. Abstract We develop approximation algorithms for solving two problems, MINSPACE and MAXSPACE, which are shown to be strongly NP-Hard [2]. For the MINSPACE problem, two algorithms are provided: one with a performance guarantee of 2 and the other with a performance guarantee better than 2. For the MAXSPACE Longchamp Canada Toronto problem, two algorithms are developed with performance guarantees of 1/4 and 3/10. Under appropriate assumptions, expressions describing the asymptotic behavior of the bias and variance of k-nearest neighbor density estimates with weight function w are obtained. The behavior of these estimates is compared with that of kernel estimates. Particular attention is paid to the properties of the estimates in the tail. This paper will introduce the notion of a naming convention and use this paradigm to both develop a new version of the Second Incompleteness Theorem and to describe when an axiom system Longchamp Outlet Paris can partially evade the Second Incompleteness Theorem.

It was a story about Neanderthals. It originally appeared in The Washington Post, but I saw it in The Oregonadian/OregonadiaLive, an Advance Publication for mass click debaters. The story nestled among other unrelated journalistic gems from stiff and wired reports about the Border Patrol no longer being able to perform background checks on new hires because of funding cuts and the need to hire thousands more agents to kill or capture Mexicans under President* Donnie Dimwit's hingeless immigration policies. Another AP story discussed the Day Without Women protests that made Donnie's pussy-grabbing hands itch, and the page was rounded out with a story on an ISIS attack on a hospital in Afghanistan and a Dear Abby column about "parental alienation." The only things missing were ads for incontinence diapers, edible crotchless underwear, and great new investment opportunities.

Brexit – could political strategies be about to change?
- DATE : May 28, 2019
The results of the EU elections could become a turning point in the ongoing Brexit debate, with the six-week old Brexit Party securing 31.6% of the vote. The Conservatives and Labour have both haemorrhaged support whilst the pro EU Liberal Democrats made substantial gains. Support for the collective 'anti' and 'pro' Brexit parties, was around 40% and 35% respectively.
These results will no doubt impact the arithmetics in Westminster. So far Parliament has been unable to find common ground on any Brexit option, other than the rejection of a no deal-but this may be about to change.
Until very recently, Labour was non-committal on a second referendum and appeared to prefer an early general election, whilst the Conservative Party was split between 'remainers' and 'brexiteers'.
A new perceived 'threat' in the form of the Brexit Party potentially replicating its success in a general election, may force both parties to abandon the middle ground in favour of a clearer and more decisive stance. This would avoid an early general election and the possible embarrassment that could follow, and hopefully provide some much needed clarity to the market.

Mosaics Collection
At Byzantine Design's very first inception I was going to create mosaics - mirrors, tables, floor panels. If it could be mosaiced then I was going to create it. Having created a few masterpieces I decided that I couldn't really compete with what was being imported from overseas. The name Byzantine Design stemmed form this, the Byzantium era is when a lot of the amazing mosaics in Europe were first created. So to say I have a soft spot for mosaics would be an understatement.
With amazing new technologies such as laser and water jet cutting we are seeing some stunning mosaics being imported into Australia. Carrara marble will always be a design classic, and you could never go wrong with a hexagonal floor or subway tile. The resurgence in Hampton's interiors is creating a resurgence in mosaics especially in Carrara, we also import Calacatta and Volakas which are stunning alternatives to Carrara.
Glass and metallic mosaics have come a long way. Want a more industrial vibe? Then look at the Perla or Lumineux ranges, simple neutral colours with a pearlescent finish.

Mark Byrnes
Mark Byrnes is a former senior associate editor at CityLab who writes about design and architecture.
In the summer of 1997, Atlanta demolished two major sports venues in the span of a week. The Omni Coliseum came down on July 26. On August 2, Fulton County Stadium followed suit. The old home of the Braves and Falcons wasn't an especially significant piece of architecture, but Atlantans looked at it fondly. It was where Deion "Prime Time" Sanders took the field for the city's NFL and MLB teams, where Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's career home run record, where an era of dominance by the Braves first blossomed, to be continued inside the new Turner Field next door.
Today, Fulton County Stadium is memorialized as a parking lot. A section of its outfield fence still stands as a tribute to Aaron's 714th home run and what was once the infield diamond is now outlined in dirt-color brick. It's an odd tribute, perhaps, but a tribute nonetheless. Two miles north, the Omni, the arena that helped revitalize downtown and served as the home of Atlanta's first NBA and NHL teams, came down without leaving a trace.
In 1966, the local developer Tom Cousins had just acquired air rights over a rail yard at the edge of downtown. It was an industrial area at the time with an unsafe reputation, and Cousins had built a parking garage that no one wanted to park in. So to fill up those empty spots he decided to buy a couple of pro sports teams and build a new arena.
Cousins took ownership of the NBA's St. Louis Hawks and moved them to Atlanta in 1968. While the Hawks spent four years playing at Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial Coliseum, a new architecture firm worked on designing the team's future home. In the meantime, Cousins was also awarded an NHL expansion team, the Flames, who ended up christening the arena on October 14, 1972, as workers continued to bolt in seats hours before the puck dropped. The Hawks played their first home game the next day.
If Cousins wanted the Omni Coliseum to make a statement, he certainly got his wish. Tvsdesign went with an imposing, weathered steel facade balanced out by glass-enveloped corners. "The building felt rather light," says Tom Ventulett (the 'v' in the firm's name) who helped create the Omni. "And at night, it glowed."
Its roof looked like an upside-down egg crate and the multi-colored seating bowl was so unique that an outline of it became the building's logo. The rectangular site was a tight fit for an arena, which forced Ventulett to get creative. "I finally thought, if you turn the seating bowl access diagonally so that most of the seating was in the corner of the square, it would put higher price seats in there and give the illusion of a much bigger space."
Ventulett recalls praise and envy from fellow architects around town in the '70s. But more importantly, the building was a huge boost for downtown Atlanta, opening up a neglected section of the city for a wave of new development. Some of that, the Georgia World Congress Center, for example, came about thanks to Cousins's lobbying for development that would make a nearby mixed-use complex of his more profitable.
Fans showed up to the Omni in those early years—even for that weird thing where men glide around a sheet of ice with sticks in their hands. "Nobody knew about hockey in Atlanta back then; people would ask where the bases were," jokes Ventulett.
The Flames sold out their inaugural game and were still averaging over 14,000 fans a night their second season. The team qualified for the playoffs in six of their eight years in Atlanta, but attendance dropped steadily. Eventually the situation got bad enough that in 1976, Flames players agreed to give up 1.5 percent of their own salaries to buy up tickets. The gesture was impressive but the bigger problem was that the Omni wasn't built for what the sports world was becoming.
"It was a great building in which to watch hockey and the atmosphere was second to none in the NHL," former Flames general manager Cliff Fletcher told NHL.com in 2008, "but it had only 15,000 seats, no standing room and no private boxes." Cousins had already sold his basketball team to Ted Turner in 1977. In 1980, he sold the Flames for a then-NHL-record price of $16 million. New ownership moved the team to Calgary that summer.
Many of the same problems that plagued Atlanta's hockey team hurt the Hawks. Despite similarly poor attendance, they stayed and watched the Omni quickly fall apart. For visiting opponents, even the most basic amenity couldn't be taken for granted. "We need a locker room that actually has a shower in the locker room, not down the hall," Bulls guard Steve Kerr said of the Omni in 1997 to the Chicago Tribune.
On the outside, its weathered steel facade, commonly referred to as Cor-Ten, was a stylish choice but ultimately a poor one. "We thought it fit the very industrial nature of that site," Ventulett tells CityLab. Weathering steel is supposed to allow the material to develop a resistance to corrosion over time, functioning as a natural protective layer. But that's not what happened in hot and humid Atlanta. The steel rusted through and water leaks plagued the building even though the roof pods were eventually covered with a rubberized material. "If I were doing it again I wouldn't use Cor-Ten," says the architect.
By the mid-'90s, Turner was ready to bring hockey back to Atlanta. The NHL, under the guarantee that a new arena would be built by 1999, granted him an expansion franchise in June of 1997. A month later, the Omni came down. Unable to bear watching his building get blown up, Ventulett and his wife left town that weekend. Two years later, he made the mistake of going to the new Philips Arena to see the NHL's return to the city: "My son had season tickets for the Thrashers. We went to the franchise's first game and, of course, they showed the implosion on the scoreboard."
Philips Arena now sits where the Omni once did. And while the newer arena doesn't suffer from a corroding steel facade or inadequate fan luxuries, it's managed to prove that there's a whole lot more to solving bad attendance and revenue issues in Atlanta than just building a better arena.
The Thrashers lasted in Atlanta about as long as the Flames before leaving for Canada just like their predecessors. And despite having one of the more interesting teams in the NBA of late, the Hawks lost $23.9 million last season. (A deal is now in place to sell the team for $850 million, a price that includes the team's debt.) All these years later, the team still struggles to please a sprawled out and diverse region that likes basketball but isn't that passionate about the home team.
Ventulett may regret using Cor-Ten, but he's proud of what his firm gave to Atlanta. "The greatest thing about it was that it was a big, pivotal turning point for downtown," he says. "The convention center, the football stadium, the hotels, CNN Center; all of that has been built since then, all because of that arena."
The man who designed the Omni pauses when asked what he thinks of its replacement, carefully choosing his answer. "The neat thing about the Omni is that it was simple. You could find your way around. It was clean and colorful. Philips seems to be a real success," he adds, "but somehow it doesn't have the life, I don't know, it just doesn't have 'it.'"

Will COVID-19 change how cities are designed? Michele Acuto of the Connected Cities Lab talks about density, urbanization and pandemic preparation.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.

Introduced in House (07/28/2005)
Angie Fatino Save Our Children from Meth Act of 2005 - Amends the Controlled Substances Act to direct the Attorney General to transfer to schedule V ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine. Makes this provision inapplicable with respect to pseudoephedrine when contained in a product that is in a liquid, liquid capsule, or liquid-filled gel capsule, that does not contain more than 360 milligrams of pseudoephedrine, and that is approved under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (pseudoephedrine contained in such product shall then be considered a list I chemical).

Places restrictions on the sale of list I and schedule V pseudoephedrine products. Requires a registrant of list I products to: (1) place the products where the customers do not have direct access to them; (2) maintain a sales logbook that identifies the products, purchasers, dates, and times of sales; and (3) not sell such a product to persons under age 18. Prohibits a registrant of schedule V products that do not require prescriptions from dispensing such a product to a prospective purchaser under age 18.
Sets penalties for violations.
Prohibits any person from knowingly or intentionally purchasing at retail: (1) more than one list I pseudoephedrine product during a 24-hour period without a prescription; (2) more than 7,500 milligrams of pseudoephedrine in list I or schedule V products during a 30-day period without a prescription; or (3) such a list I product without legibly signing the appropriate logbook.

CUTE + SCARY = SPOOPY! | Making Art with Japanese Halloween Stationery | ZenPop Unboxing
Today we're gonna be un-boxing the and I'm
pretty sure it's supposed to be Halloween themed so, I'm really hoping that there's some ghosties or some pumpkins in here. And once we know what's inside, then maybe
I'll try and see if we can make something fun with it. Anyway, let's find out what's inside. ♪ This lists all of the items in the box then inside, first thing I see is this green pen. The Zebra Sarsa Clip 0.4. Remove this little blobby on the end of it. Oh, it does write in green! Really scratchy. Doesn't exactly glide I would say. [Click, click click] We can't ignore this, what is this? The Youkai block memo pad, with
monsters that are best friends, although that one's a cat. Is that a turtle? Is that an umbrella? It looks like there are four separate designs on here. There's the little dancing guys. Another design is – Okay, that's, that's really weird. [Pfff] I guess they're all little monsters. [Hums Jingle bells…?] Cute I really like that one. okay I'm looking at the little sheet 'cause I was like, I need some help with this. So it turns out that Youkai are spirits and demons and monsters from Japanese folklore. So this memo pad features some of the most well-known ones. So the little turtle guy is actually named Kappa. He likes to eat cucumbers and HUMAN GUTS! Hey, I want to know more about all these little guys. What is this!? This is a craft fabric pen. Let's see if it draws on paper. Fabric paint marker. What color is this? Is it black or orange? Good question. [Squeegee squeegee] Oh, it's orange, it's orange! Ooh, fun. Works a lot like a Posca pen. Tempted to draw on my shirt, but I think it's permanent. [Laughs] And I like this shirt! I'll have to see if I can find anything to use that on. All right, next thing I see… (Baby voice) It's a wittle kitty cat. Aw! I got the pastel blue. [Wrapper crinkling] Aw, so cute. It goes on your pencil. It's a little loose. Look at the cuteness! Let's do a little spin… Very cute. It's really solid for like an eraser. Just the amount of detail and like fur and everything. I'm impressed. Alright. Next thing I see is some washi tape. Get it out of this packaging, so you can see it better. It's got some kind of like abstract metallic design in very Halloween-y colors. I think this one is some kind of pumpkin gourd. [Laughs] It's very abstract. Not really my personal taste. I prefer – it'd be really cute if it was like little ghosties or something like that, oh kind of like this. [Laughs] Oh, look at the other designs! That one is right up my alley! I really like that one too, but we got this one. I think I'll be able to find something to do with it though. It's still – It's crazy that they can use such simple shapes and designs and it still has… that Halloween vibe to it. We gotta look at these little ghosties. We have some sticker markers. So these are to put on the edge of your paper and they hang out of paper so you know where to look. Oh! That's so cute. Oh they have tiny tails, ah! I love the packaging. (The way everything folds up and just – ) [Urgh!] Very cute. Okay. I'm already getting an idea of what I want to do with these art supplies. Okay. What's next? Oh, candy! Yeah. It's not Halloween without candy, right? This looks like a bunch of stickers. The little vending machine and then it opens up and it reveals the stickers! Oh, and there's even some secret ones down here, this is cute. Okay. I think I know what I want to make with these. They're all kind of like fitting together and the theme is really, really helpful. We're going to make some kind of like a Halloween-y… Illustration or something. What do we has here? This looks like some stationery and letter set. It comes with three envelopes. Nine papers and three of something else that I'm not entirely sure, maybe stickers? Oh, yeah. I think I see them. These are them right there, stickers. Look at the little ghosties with tulips! [Hahaha! Deep inhale] Ooh, we have the three little stickers. We got one waving Hello. We got one giving you the side-eye, one that looks like he's given up on life. [Creepy sound] These are the three envelopes. They're all identical. They have pink little fold-y bits. Adorable little ghosties. They look like springtime ghosts to me, and then we have the letter paper. Oh, it's very thin, light weight paper and it has more of the little flowers. Alright. I think there's two things left in here. We have another pen. this is the Rushon Petite pen and you can get one of three colors this month. Either purple, orange or red and I got… PURPLE! Can we just celebrate for a moment? ♪ [Tap, tap] Purple! Ooooh! Oh, I really, really like this. Just writes so solidly and bold but it's small and thin. This would work really well… For writing in your stationery, and the last item in the box is a nice pastel yellow plastic envelope? and it matches… The letter stationery we got. Oh, no, it doesn't [Pffft] Not at all! So it's made out of vinyl. The one side is transparent. This little
cardboard piece obviously doesn't need to be in here. Oh, see now It's so flimsy. You can still keep like the envelopes right inside. I could also fold the paper. I mean since the paper has to be folded to be put into the envelopes. I don't see why not. I should probably fold each of them individually. One second. Leave one unfolded in case I need it for my art project I want to do but otherwise, I want to keep it in this little envelope. I think that's cute idea, especially since it matches. Keep those in here with the envelopes. ♪ Adorable, I like that idea. Oh, is that a little – [Laughs] How did I not notice that? I like how there's like a little window and one of the little flower ghosties sticks out of it. it can peak through. [Hehe, deep inhale] I tell you. I'm easily amused. These small little touches go a long way, in my opinion. Alright, so that is everything in this month's box. Now I really want to create some kind of illustration or collage using some of these supplies. So we have three colors in our pens. We have a green and orange and a purple, but I also want to like mix in some other art supplies. But
we'll definitely have to make sure we use these ones. I think the star of the show might end up being these little guys We have a 120 of them. Don't know if i'll need that many. Let me grab a piece of paper. Oh, but I want to try and incorporate these too. Then I can some nail my idea and show you what I want to work on. Grab a pencil and with a pencil at first, I'm gonna thumbnail my little plan I've got an idea but I can't seem to visualize it. I don't know, it's just stuck in my head. So I'm gonna just start drawing and then when I figure out what I'm thinking, I'll start talking again. Gotta include a character. I need to include like the candy stickers. Maybe they have a clear bag. [Gasps] Ooh! I wonder if I could reuse some of this plastic. Draw on it to make it clear and then include little candies underneath of it. Let me know if anyone else had this problem. But I live in a northern state. So any time we went trick-or-treating as a kid, we always had to wear a big coat on top of our costume and it just ruined the whole effect, but you do what you got to do to get the candy, you know. Then the ghosties can be like poking out of everything and maybe hang down from the frame. [Laughs] There we go. [Laughs] To include the cat. Let's
take a look into the character design of our little witch. This is got a cat food bag on them. Big coat. [Laughs] Maybe the hat won't be quite as… Out there because they bought it at a Halloween store. Should look a little cheaper. Has that like classic patch on it, sewn into it. I'm gonna include the bag of candy. I still want to try that clear plastic idea. Maybe it's got like… Spider web designs in the skirt and here we'll include some candy stickers. And classic sneakers. So you can travel the distance and get all the candy. I think I'm getting somewhere. I really like her. I think she
needs a little bit more contrast in her shapes though So I'm gonna shorten the skirt. Stop weighing her down as much. Give her a little Halloween freckles. Just put this here so I can see them next to each other. Hmm, not sure. Ponder's some more. I do not like this pen. It is so scratchy. It's supposed to be like that? I like the little cats on it though. [Sticker peels off] Little ghosty coming out behind her. That's kinda cool 'cause then you can like lift it and see the same thing underneath of it. Well, this is a water-based pen. We can add water to it! [Click] [Thud] Stick this in here. If I can put it all next to each other, Maybe it'll help inspire me to be able to include them. I mean we could cut out some of these guys and use them as like decoration on this fence. Oh, then there's also the possibility of including this somehow. This kind of looks like the fence posts. I don't know. I've been sitting here for a few minutes [Laughs] My brains not clicking anything different. It might be time to just… Try it out and see if it works. ♪ I keep playing around with this in my mind and like every time I… Visualize it, I realize something won't work. Just gonna start drawing something and not let myself stop. I did it too high! [ARGH!] It's just one of those art days, you know. [Hums the start of wedding tune] No, I don't think this is… This is… Alright, I'm gonna try and follow my thumbnail this time because obviously avoiding it is not working. Be very, very… Soft and light with it. Now if I need to make any small changes, I can. Before
it becomes too late to solve like the small problems. Jacket. Big poofy jacket. I guess I'll just cut the fence here, even though that makes it really, really tall if it's the kind of fence I'm thinking it is. [Laughs] I'm gonna have some trees back there too. ♪ There. A tree. Facial expression, I think I want to keep working on. Work on that right now. Yeah, I like this one better already. There we go, I think we're getting somewhere now. Just give more places for like the ghost to pop out of. [Laughs] I wonder if we can include some kind of like decorations on the fence with some of these other things. Not this, these, I know what I'm doing with. [Laughs] I wonder if we can like crumpled the washi tape to make it look like ribbon, coming around like this. Like some bunting on the fence. I'd love to see how I can play around with that. It's always something that I don't need to add line art to or anything. So that's something I can add at the very end. But it does add a little. That I like. Use this to measure out. And making sure it's not lined up. Ew! Goodbye tangent. ♪ Ruler! They're not perfect. Somehow I measured wrong with my ruler. I think that it adds a little charm to it. It doesn't give it that copy-paste look which I don't usually look for in my drawings [Laughs] Maybe I can even add a bush, like a little hedge, down here. A falling leaf, or two, or three. Or eight. just add a little final… Depth to some things. Make sure I don't miss them when I add in some line art. Make sure I know how everything is going to look. Perfect! I love the – looks like a little Michelin Man. I'm gonna move the head up a little, so you can see the eyebrows, which will express some more emotion. Alright. I'm actually really happy with this. I'm glad I went through all those other stages and finally found something that I'm pretty pleased with. Oh, wait we missed the… *Sings* We get to add some color. I'm going to take a kneaded eraser. If I could find mine. Oh shoot, I was playing with it now that I think about it, Uh. There's so many things on my desk, right now. Oh! I see it. It's by the computer. [Heh ha!] [Eraser thuds] Remember when Beluga was like bright white? [Laughs] I kind of like the idea of white kneaded erasers because you can see the growth and pigment of what you've erased. Because like a gray one, It just goes gray to black and the variation isn't that strong. Whereas with white, I feel like you can see it better. I don't know. [Laughs] Anyway, let's go ahead and erase this lightly. Just give some room for the line art to show through. Go in and add some line art. I think i'll use some fine-liners for that. Start with a nice thick one. Start outlining the character. Might
need to switch to a smaller fine-liner for extra details But for those big bold areas this works perfectly. Like the outside of a character. I kind of like to be a bit bolder than the inside detail bits. The cool thing about using a ruler for your sketch, is you can kind of trace it with your fine-liner afterwards and it kind of adds in that organic variation and makes it look a lot less forced. You see I'm gonna follow… The ruler line. Oops, I went into the bush. [Laughs] But you see how it's a little bit softer than actually using a ruler for your fine-lines. It just gives you more control. And makes it less perfect. ♪ We've got a hedge. Now I just need to (line) in this tree. Actually. [Fingers tapping] I think I want the tree to just be Copic markers. Oh wait, [Ha, haha] I didn't finish – What am I doing? Let's move to this 0.5, so it's half the size of the last liner we were using. Go ahead and add some more details. I'm gonna
not close all the lines on the little puffy coat sections. So they don't seem so harsh. There we go. I think I've just about finished the line art. Now I can go ahead and take my more hefty eraser. I don't really want to use pretty little kitty here. So I'll just use my own eraser. [Eraser rubbing] Grab some – Go ahead and trace. There we go. Then I can cut it out. [Plastic crinkling] Ta-da! Got a little bag, can wipe off the liner now. We have to find a way to color that. Gonna just keep it off to the side where I don't lose it. Go ahead and color in the background first. Use this guy. Make sure that we don't go off the edge of the paper. Start with – I think I'm gonna go with neutral gray 6 and
then layer some purple on top of it to keep with our… Orange, purple, green color scheme. [Markers crash on desk] All I have to do is just color in the entire background! [Laughs] There. and then to bring that gray color to the color scheme, We'll layer it with some – Let's try amethyst. That might be a little too dark but let's try it. That works really well. That might be exactly what I'm looking for. I always would recommend trying not to use solid black for "black" [Laughs] You can kind of see how that looks! Some spots are always easier to color in with markers and get a nice even tone ♪ Heh, makin' progress! [Laughs] A little bit of a slow task 'cause you have to color it in twice. I think it'll be worth it. Now time to color in this large, large area. Woo, woo, woo! Alright purple, purple! ♪ I think I messed up. I think
I wanted the trees to be darker than the background and
I made the background the darkest color I could make it. [Huuuuuuuuuuh] Well, it might turn out alright, we'll see. [Snorts] Well if she's well lit, then the trees would be better lit than the sky. Maybe we haven't messed this up. [Mmm] Let's go ahead and – We could
actually use a white gel pen and add a few stars. Alright then for the trees… We could use a lighter gray with a lighter purple maybe… What does that look like? With the purple layered on top. That might work. We tried that first at least. No! Wrong one! That's neutral 6, put that away! Just lost a twig! [Marker cap clicks] Rest in peace little guy. Layer that with our light purple. See how that fits the color scheme? Running out of battery. Let's see how much farther I can get before I have to charge this guy. Spent too much time trying to figure out what to draw, I don't have any time to draw it on this battery. It's kind of cool that I could just go over, because the colors are similar. You don't have to worry about staying inside the lines. There we go. We got our background. I might take neutral gray 4… And add a few shapes to the background. ♪ Alright the background is done! I even added a little shooting star. Now, let's see. I'm gonna start coming in the rest of the drawing. I also had an experiment with the Copic marker. Let's see if that bleeds. [Gasps] It sticks. Okay. So I'm gonna take our little bag put it on top of maybe this sketchbook here. Go ahead and color it in. I think I like it with the purple. Go ahead and add some color. Let that dry. Before I touch it. Right back to this. Mm-hmm. We also wanna make sure using these colors. I might leave like the top edge of them the solid – What is this? Celadon green. That way it looks like there's some lighting. It's so close to this color. Now that I'm seeing it on here, I'm actually not sure if I want to put the darker color on it. We're gonna color the whole thing in like this and then… We can make a judgement from there. I mean, it's not the most fall… Looking… [Laughs] Shrubbery I've ever seen. Add a little texture. There we go! Looks a little bit like slime. Okay,
maybe I'm willing to commit to adding the gray on top. ♪ Well settle with this and then
I'll reevaluate after I've added color everywhere else You know what I could do, is I had a pumpkin on top of this. Even though it doesn't physically make sense. I feel like we need some pumpkins. [Marker case rattles] Let's find a good post color for our fence. I kind of want it a little on the orange side because I want that color scheme of the purple, orange and green So what if we use like basically yellow with the grey on top to tone it down. Ew. No. Do we have a warm gray? Let's do barely beige. Start
in these small areas where you won't notice it as much! See if I dig it. Definitely pictured it being a little darker than that. [Marker cap clicks] Leave it on just the one. [Laughs] And maybe try changing it up. [Marker cap clicks] Trying to make look a little bit more like wood! That's subtle enough and yet, you know, orange at the same time. Barely beige with ash rose on top. [Marker cap clicks] Hmm they look different. Maybe this one needs to dry and I don't know why this one turned out different, I thought I did the same thing I thought! Maybe when I watch back the footage, I'll see the difference I'm gonna keep the angle going up and down. Give it that wood texture and use the strokes to our advantage. This ash rose. [Marker squeaks] Sounds like a Star Wars battle. [Marker squeaks] [Pew pew, pew pew] That is getting low. [Marker dragging] Oh, I really enjoy adding wood texture. Add the randomest little shadow behind her. [Marker clicks] I'm gonna add some decorations in the trees with this. I like how this marker works. It's very similar to like a Posca. I also wanted to use the washi tape, to add some kind of banner behind her. What I'm gonna do is just grab a big roll of it. Start here and kind of try and crumple it. So it looks like it's hanging there…? Kind of unfold it a little. It's not a ton of contrast, but… I think I'll take it. I really just want to incorporate this somehow. ♪ There. Just need to figure out what to do with the rest of this. [Laughs] Keep ending up with these little pieces that I can't use! There we go. I just noticed my camera wasn't recording, so I don't know what I missed but in case, I hope I didn't miss this part, but I use washi tape and it created kind of like a 3D texture and made ribbons and bunting with little streamers that I cut into strips. So they kind of like stick out. [Deep inhale] Yeah, I also tried to like fix some of this. I need to color in our character here. I wonder if I should have shading under this actually. One second. Gonna add some shading. ♪ Under our bunting, just incorporate it more. ♪ Make it less look like it was just plastered on there and it's more part of the actual illustration. Even though it was plastered on there. Yeah, I think I want to use this purple, with our neutral gray 4, wherever that one ended up. I'll color in her costume I think I'll also use our purple pen and draw spiderwebs on her costume. ♪ I feel like almost every costume in the kids department has some kind of spider web on it. Perfect, that works perfectly! That purple on top of the other purple. Yas! Now for the hat. I'll probably do the same thing. Just so they're matchy, matchy. Can't forget your spider webs. ♪ I think we're making some progress! Yay, I actually lined up the stripes on the tights. Rare! [Laughs] The color that's kind of calling to me that it needs to be is either orange or green and green is feeling a little stronger. Could color hair orange. Straight up orange. So that we could use this thing. [Copic marker bangs] ♪ Then maybe orange for the boots as well. And then green for the coat! I'll just do like super bright green though. ♪ Draw a pattern on it. ♪ There we go. Looks like a coat. I think you're hair needs little shading. Skin. Skin, skin. I think I want something really pale 'cause I think anything I try to use is gonna really clash. So maybe silk [Marker cap clicks] ♪ That will probably work. Add a little bit of blush. [Marker case rattles] Something other than that. I'm gonna make the nose a little bit pinker than that. So that she looks cold. There we go. Alright, I think we can add the ghosties in now. I've been waiting for this moment! I have a little happy one. Oh, I could have put him on the other side of this. [Gasps, hehe] Stick them up in here. Hmmm! Got it. Then cut this. Stick it down. *Sings* chica down, chica down, down. There is our first ghosty. I'm coming this way. I think I'm gonna need glue actually. Is my glue stick still here from last time? Turning one. This we can… Put a little sad guy upside down maybe so it looks like a smile. [Hehehe] Cut off his tail. Where's my white gel pen? Get a little bit of the – Yeah, a little magic bits around the ghosts. Ugh. I keep grabbing more than one at a time! There's gotta be a better way to do this. This one can be sticking out from behind here. ♪ [Finger tapping] Can have one poking out from underneath this thing. More, more, MORE! Oh gonna do this little sticking out guy with the hat. Ugh, I grabbed two again! Jeez This one could be poking out of… The bush here. I'm not worried about cutting it out perfectly because I think I'll just draw on top of it. ♪ Put him at an angle like this. Oh yeah, I kind of like that. Probably should glue him down though. Someone decided to do their lawn today. Do we want more? Do we want more!? Gonna have one coming out from behind her leg here. Hmm where do we want this guy? Upper right here. Pretty sure there's two here, come on. Yeah, there was. 'Cause I know I can't pick up just one! I feel like that's a good number of ghosties. Now, I want to – I'm gonna draw through them. Just make them look transparent, but only subtly. It's like dots where there'd be lines. I mean if I have any like super pastel colors, I could probably color them in lightly. So maybe my lightest purple [Marker case rattles] If it doesn't work I can always replace them. This just makes them look a little bit more transparent. Ghost-like. What's my lightest yellow? Ooh, guys. Perfect! I think I like it that way. Good, I don't have to do anything. Lastly, we need to do this candy bag. So let's put this here. I should've left that uncolored actually, now that I'm thinking about it. Let's see. She's gonna definitely get a lollipop. Actually, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Do I have anything lighter than this? I don't think you can really see the difference. It looks like a garbage bag! [Do, do. Do, do] Oh wait, we can use one of these. This one might be perfect. ♪ That way – I can't it off! We can put this here. Put the candy, then put this on top. Potentially. Let me way these options. I'm adding another layer. I just don't like the texture anymore. ♪ Let's tape this down. I can actually kind of see through it. I wonder if I could just… Lightly draw in… Some things. Right, now we put some candy on here. These, mmm, gummy bears! Chocolate bar. Oh, a white chocolate bar. Maybe another sucker. Probably draw in a few extra things. Kind of not transparent enough to see all the candy! I kind of like how some things are shiny. Not my favorite thing out of the box. It's just so scratchy I kinda like it. The color schemes a little uh, primary, but other than that, I really like the idea and I like the little candies [Laughs] I wish you could see them a little bit better though. I can probably take the white gel pen, and just a little pops of glitter on the costume. What's the Halloween costume without glitter? Whenever scissors get involved, Oo, the desk gets messy! As always, I do want to thank you guys for watching. I had a blast opening up the October's Zen Pop box. and creating this Halloween illustration, with the Halloween stationery that was inside. It's really cool looking at things from another country, especially Japan. I think they just
put the best attention and detail into their products. It's just so freakin' adorable. I do have to give a big thank you to Zen Pop for sending me this box to try out. Yeah, see you guys all next week. I hope you have a delicious evening full of waffles. Bye! ♪

It's really surprising. The president Donald Trump & Kim Jong Un meets at a hotel in Singapore. The Singapore summit. The meeting was important. Important because for a long time, America & North Korea were behaving as enemies. Insulting each other & threatening each other. Hence, to destroy each other by using nuclear weapons. But, anyhow, they have come closer.
The North Korean president is a dictator. His nature & personality is unpredictable. One cannot predict how he will react in a particular situation.
The meeting
The first talk starts in a cordial & friendly atmosphere. The president Trump shake hands & give him good wishes.The president now comes to the point.
Trump says, 'Mr. Kim, you are known as rocket man.Moreover, you are very smart.In fact, I am fond of your hair style.' Kim starts laughing. Kim puts his hand on the cheek of Trump. Kim replies, you POTUS, you are funny & humorous. I like your nature.
Trump now adds. 'Dear friend, you have nuclear weapons, missile & all sort of destructive weapons. Why don't you stop producing them & destroy them? If you do that I shall protect you & also your poor country. In addition, America is ready to lift all sanctions & also military from South Korea.'
Kim is now serous. He says, 'you POTUS, you first destroy your weapons. My weapons are for my protection. Even, I can use them to control my citizens. And of course, I do not care for human rights. Moreover, Kim is now angry.
Trump now tries to tackle the situation. 'My dear friend, we have very good medicines to increase your sex power. Moreover, I can provide beautiful American girls. However, much better than your sex pleasure team (sex slaves).'
But,the dictator shouts to his secretary. 'Let's move to Pyongyang.' Thus, he leaves the summit at the speed
Of rocket.
In fact,in his absence, the North Korean people were preparing to leave the country.
The world leaders were expecting positive output. But, all in vein.

HD800S - Further Details
The striking industrial design combines form and function seamlessly, the layered metal and plastic headband construction attenuating vibrations to the earcups while the handmade microfiber earpads offer exceptional comfort for even long periods of listening enjoyment. Crafted for perfection, the HD 800 and the HD 800 S are precision-built in Germany from only the finest materials and components. The transducer is encased by stainless steel, while the headband and headphone mounting utilises the most advanced materials developed in the aerospace industry for high strength with minimal weight. The new HD 800 S offers even better high precision connectivity options and is now supplied with two connection leads, a 6.3mm connector and a XLR-4 balanced cable to offer even better quality sound from sources with balanced outputs such as the Sennheiser HDVD 800 headphones amplifier. Absorber technology of the HD 800 S The enhanced sound reproduction of the HD 800 S is achieved through the addition of the innovative absorber technology that was pioneered in the Sennheiser IE 800 - a breakthrough that preserved the audibility of very high frequency sounds by eliminating a phenomenon known as the "masking effect", where the human hear struggles to hear frequencies of sound when lower frequencies of a higher volume occur at the same time. By absorbing the energy of the resonance, Sennheiser's patented absorber technology prevents any unwanted peaks and allows all frequency components - even the finest nuances - in the music material to become audible. This innovation was a key element in making the IE 800 the world's best sounding in ear headphone, and in the HD 800 S it helps to bring even greater purity and precision. Such enhancements build on the formidable achievements of the classic, with the 56mm sound transducer - the largest ever used in dynamic headphones. The unique ear cup design directs sound waves to the ear at a slight angle to create an impressively natural and spatial listening experience. While much appears the same, the enhanced performance within is revealed by a distinctive new look, with the silver finish of the 2009 classic HD 800 making way for high-class matt black for the HD 800 S. Features • Further optimised reference class in wired headphones • Open, circum-aural dynamic stereo headphones • Enhanced sound reproduction achieved through absorber technology • Additional cable with balanced XLR4 connector • High-class matt black metal parts • Natural hearing experience - realistic and natural sound field with minimal resonance • Biggest transducers ever used in headphones including new innovative dynamic transducer design • Uncovered earcups for enhanced acoustics • Handcrafted ear pads, made of high-quality microfiber fabric • Metal headband with an inner damping element • Specially tuned balanced, impedance matching cable with low capacitance • Special high precision headphone connectors • 2 year warranty
These are our suggestions, if you would like to find your perfect match, we will be pleased to offer advice and a free demonstration in store, call or email us to arrange a time

I'm going along just fine, enjoying my new days of being depression-free – not feeling great, but still better, when BOOM! I have to adjust the mood meds again. Doubling the dosage to get me where the Psychiatrist wants me to be. Every time I change the dosage, I get radical side effects. Today, I cried so hard that my diaphragm was sore for hours after.
I had confrontational "words" with my grown son and told him to not visit me in the future.
I got Mother's Day flowers from my sweet daughter. I filled the vase with water and then it dropped to the floor. Water everywhere. Thank god the vase was a cheapie plastic one.
It's 8:15, and I'm in bed. I can't face anymore yuck today. Inside, I FEEL the dying I do daily. We all die a little each day, right? Imagine "feeling" it. Strange sensation.
If I had my choice, I'd wait about 2 hours – make sure it's very dark out – and then stand next to the interstate – where a semi-truck wouldn't see me until it was too late to slow. I'm sure I'd feel the intitial impact, but not afterward.
No, I'm not suicidal. I don't need a hotline or a trip to the psych ward. I need to be normal again, whatever that is. I can't really remember what "normal" feels like. I have had 2 years of solid hypomania, then 2 years of drepression (some minor. some extremely bad). Only recently did I get a diagnosis of Bipolar, type 2, so I can get proper help!
I write to get the desperation from my chest. To purge some pain.
If you are praying person, remember me tonight?
I love you guys!

Electric Shifter Kart
How the Electric Go Kart Changed the Sport
The popularity of indoor racing dramatically increased with the creation of the electric kart around the start of the new millennium. Engineers working on hundred-million-dollar electric-vehicle projects for the automotive industry had figured out how to make more power out of compact motors. Simultaneously, battery packs were getting smaller and more potent, and the electronics were getting more high-tech and durable. The early days of indoor go kart racing were hampered by exhaust from the four-stroke engines that powered what was otherwise a well-built chassis. The carbon-monoxide output in a confined space basically limited the audience to mostly teenagers and young men. The rest of the family typically stayed away from the tracks because the exhaust is impossible to eliminate.
Indoor tracks that use gas-powered go karts
Let's face it – only a rare breed tolerates the odor and doesn't mind being subjected to the potential health concerns. Indoor tracks that use gas-powered go karts are normally required by law to use giant fans to vent out the unhealthy air; this generally makes it next to impossible to incorporate creature comforts for the participants such as air-conditioning and heating. It is the introduction of these comfort elements that has made go kart racing incredibly popular with corporate team-building events and private parties.
History of Go Kart Racing
The first-ever go kart was created in Los Angeles by Art Ingels and his neighbor Lou Borelli in 1956. It featured a surplus McCulloch West-Bend 750 lawnmower engine and a chassis that rested just a few inches off the ground.
At the time, Ingels was working for the Kurtis Kraft Company in southern California building hot rods and race cars. But a few years earlier Ingels was an airman stationed in Europe and had built crude prototypes in Britain as a way to pass time during World Ward II. The first official organized race took place with several dozen of home-built machines in 1957 in the parking lot of the famed Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Now, it has been estimated that over 1.6 billion people world wide have raced go karts at some level (amusement parks, indoor kart tracks and organized professional races) in the last half century.
Ingels' one-off two-stroke creation was the inspiration for Duffy Livingstone and Roy Desbrow to start the Go Kart Manufacturing, Co., Inc in 1958. The pair created their own versions of the go kart and then found inexpensive engines from the failed West Bend rotary lawn mower venture. As an interesting fact, the first go karts sold for $159!
The year 1964 saw the creation of the 100cc World Championship, the first of its kind, and now there are organized competitions all around the world.
The evolution has produced a wide range of karts including 100cc air-cooled classes, 125cc two-stroke shifter karts (capable of 115mph) and SuperKarts (capable of 160mph). All modern day Formula One racers grew up racing karts including Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, as well as NASCAR's Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- For nearly 40 years, a center in our state has been empowering women, men and teens who've gone through tough times and abuse. The Compass Center for Women and Families, once known as The Women's Center, may have evolved through the years, but is still working to help thousands of people each year during their time of need.
For quite some time, the organization held an art show fundraiser every year, but they decided to change things up in 2018. Instead, they deployed the storytelling skills of the founder of the wildly popular podcast, Criminal, to help the center share stories and raise money for their worthy cause.
Cordelia Heaney, the Executive Director for the Compass Center for Women and Families sat down with Spectrum News anchor Caroline Blair, share more on the Empowering Journey's Luncheon, and how the money raised is helping people in North Carolina, often in their desperate times of need.
If you would like to come and support the Compass Center for Women and Families through their Empowering Journey's Luncheon, the event takes place Wednesday, April 18 11:30 a.m.- 1 p.m. at the Sheraton on Europa Drive in Chapel Hill.

Water regulation in Goldfish
Circulation is more than just oxygen
A by-product of respiration is carbon dioxide, in excess this is dangerous to your Goldfish. When water is circulated by way of a pumps the carbon dioxide is carried to the surface and out of the water into the atmosphere.
Other potentially harmful gases are likewise dissipated into the air by means of water circulation.
Unless water is moving, it will tend to form layers at differing temperatures, where as moving water has one overall temperature.
Circulation is also vital to removing unwanted by-products of the goldfish metabolism, and this includes excess Oxygen which the circulation carries around the pond or aquarium for the benefit of the other fish.
Putting oxygen in and taking harmful substances out can also be done by using the filter return water hose.By placing the hose on the bottom of the pond, this pushes the bottom and middle layers of water to the surface, to recharge the oxygen and maintain a constant temperature within the pond.
Regular partial changes of the water in an aquarium or pond are essential. If you use tap water use water ager
Testing water parameters alerts you to maintenance issues such as pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate.

All Levels › Kristin Campbell
Wind Down Your Day
Wind down and recover from a busy day with a yoga class poses that will actively release your shoulders, hips, hamstrings and lower back. Suggested props are a belt to help support opening your hamstrings and for the shoulder opening, and a block to sit on.
Wake Up & Glow
Take agency over how you want to feel today and cause an effect on your life. Are you living in reaction to life? It is all too tempting to live up in our heads, entertained by our busy minds only to be reduced to our thoughts. Our thoughts effect our feelings and our feelings cause an affect on our thoughts. We don't get to choose what happens to us in a day, but we can choose how we react or respond to what is happening. How do you want to feel today? How do you want to influence life today? How do you want to celebrate life today? You are the artist of your day, set yourself up for success by taking agency over how you want to feel today, rather than leaving it up to the outer world to decide for you. This is living from the inside out. "Happiness is an inside job." – William Arthur Ward Suggested props: 2 same sized blocks – are always my go to for having under my hands to minimize compression in the soft tissues of my hips in some of the lunge shaped poses.
Love Your Neck, Shoulders & Upper Back
A simple yoga class, perfect as a bookend as a warm up or wind down to the beginning or end of a practice, even perfect as a post-athletic stretch out, or a break during the day. With a focus on with poses that open your shoulders, hips, hamstrings and lower back. You will be doing some seated poses so if you have tender knees or ankles, I recommend having a block for under your pelvis. We use the wall in this practice, so you'll need to be near a wall as a prop. You may want a bolster for legs up the wall, our closing posture, it feels great under the pelvis, it really helps to support hamstring lengthening. You wil need a block and a belt handy.
Look Ma! No Head!
Use two blocks and a wall as a lovely, non-weight bearing headstand practice. This class is great for those of us new to headstand and looking to get the feeling, without bearing weight on the neck and shoulders. You'll feel a lovely upper back and shoulder opening, and this is a super way to introduce yourselves to a modified inversion. From the modified version, Kristin teaches you how to invert completely, if you're ready. For people who love headstand but have sensitive or injured necks, and don't want to weight-bear on their heads. Also great opening for the upper back. Intention: non-weight-bearing headstand
Tadasana: The Blueprint Pose
Finding your alignment in Tadasana is perhaps the most important yoga pose. In this yoga tutorial Kristin shows us how to find correct alignment in Tadasana, the mountain pose. Then Kristin goes on to show us how to find the same Tadasana alignment in Warrior 2, extended side angle pose, triangle pose and half moon pose including how to keep the knee protected during side angle poses. Essential watching for us all!
Salutations To This Day
Start your day the right way with a beautiful slow-flow vinyasa yoga class with variations of Sun salutations to uplift and refresh your energy. A perfect morning yoga class, but great anytime you need an energy refresh!
Hamstrings, Hips and Lower Back Maintenance
This lower back maintenance gentle yoga class takes place supine in entirety and is perfect for those of us who have tight hamstrings due to sports, if you've just spent time travelling, or just sitting at a desk, so many of us tighten in our hamstrings! This yoga class focuses upon 'Active Hamstring' stretches. If you have lower back pain, often this can be a result of tightness in the hamstrings, so we hope that this class will help. This simple but incredibly effective yoga class teaches safe hamstring stretches, all on your back, so perfect for many injuries and recovering from colds and periods of sickness too. You will need a strap.
Transformation Through Tapas
A strong and empowering, spiritually uplifting, intelligently sequenced, alignment-based Hatha yoga class which will leave you feeling balanced, grounded and calm. With plenty of backbends, as well as balances and twists, this is a wonderful class to explore the full spectrum of a hatha yoga, whilst retaining aligment. Also wrist-free options. You may need a block.

Saturday morning saw me catch the 6:03 train toward the Midlands for what would be my 3rd appearance in 4 years at the West Midlands Vegan Festival, an event that gave me a chance – and more importantly a stage – at the beginnings of my performing career back in 2012.
The event grows with each passing year, soon the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton won't be able to hold the demand created for all things vegan.
I was the opening act on the Saturday and as usual sang a set mostly of songs about veganism and love. This year I've been lucky enough to perform at more events where these songs are suited, while something from my humble beginnings they are still some of my strongest songs lyrically I feel, in recent years I find myself writing about more personal matters and feelings but the message in these songs will ring true until we hear bells of freedom chime for all life.
My set went down ok, I was a little croaky but if I call myself a folk-singer that justifies any vocal flaws. Was fun to be performing on a nice high stage overlooking a growing crowd of activity at nearby stalls. Another good moment was being congratulated on my set a short while after by a passer by as I explored the festival further. A positive day for all things vegan!
To make the most of the festival i stayed over in Wolverhampton for the night which gave me time to head to, and explore Birmingham (something I'd not done before) and in splendid company, a lovely to spend a few hours before I headed off to Bristol to see one of my major musical influences perform at the Colston Hall, it is of course Donovan and his Sunshine Superman ways. He might be boasting these days and rattle on too much his Beatles and Dylan tales but to his credit he has written some damn good songs!
The gig was good fun a nice to see him perform solo acoustically for a whole show.
The weekend also inspired me to make some new music, due out VERY soon!
